According to the article below, it's related to the GPS. Not sure if it's needed though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Just a quick interjection for those thinking of trying different kernels. I put the latest leankernel for JB TW on(v0.3 I think) and about the only real difference I noticed(besides being able to screw with the voltages) was that leankernel took a significantly longer time to charge my battery than the stock one with CleanRom5. I don't like leaving my phone plugged in after it's charged so I want it to charge quick so I can unplug it before I forget about it lol.

Actual battery life and/or performance I didn't notice a difference. I don't run processor intensive apps so I doubt my opinion on performance is a solid one. I usually underclock any kernel anyways trying to prolong battery life.

Just figured I'd throw that out there for anyone.

Question.

I just flashed the Verizon stock not animation and realized I liked the original CR5 animation better.

How do I get rid of the boot animation I just downloaded and revert back to the previous...??

Thank you!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nattygirl:
You're the best!!!! :highfive:

And I completely agree, stock has no comparison to the performance achieved with CleanRom.

Edit: Looks like I'm not the only freak out there... 22 downloads so far :p

Google Play Music wigs out from time to time. It will stop playing but show the current song on 'play' but there is no sound and the time signature doesn't change, even when I select a new song it just hangs. Sometimes it randomly stops and when I open the app the current song jumps back by 2 tracks. It's not unusable, I just wanted to put the info out there.

Herro! Scott, as usual, running silky smooth and bug free for me :good:

I hate to request such a tedious thing...but I would really love to see a 5x5 TOUCHWIZ LAUNCHER. 5x6 is just a BIT too big for me, and 4x5 just doesnt cut it!!! I've searched other threads, and I can't seem to find any 5x5 version...

If anybody can do this, that would be so rad! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeffersonDavis:
Thanks for a great rom Scott. I have been a fan since my Titan/Mogul .. R4 Reloaded or some such thing..

Since CR5 i have had slightly less battery life so I am trying the gsiff-daemon rename trick, and going uninstall google play based on the previous posts. I also noticed Maps using about 10-13%. I know that this has been a long standing issue with battery life, I just seem to have been lucky in the past and havent had this issue. I will report back my findings. If anyone has any other battery tricks please let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
Who on earth said to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I document all my tweaks right in the ROM files. If you look at build.prop you will see a section called "#CleanROM" those are the build prop tweaks I did.

The other set of tweaks are in /system/etc/init.d/99CleanTWEAKS.

I dont touch touch Dalvik Cache in my tweaks. I think it cna hav eperformance gains but under certain situations can backfire so I have left it at samsung default.

The good thing is, if it works for you then that App exists and is good! BUt it does not mean it will work as well for everyone...

TBH; I could make this ROM SCREAM like a whore on dollar night... BUt... I also know that doing that will have adverse reactions for other users so I have to temper efficiency, performance and stabilty.... Not to say my blend cannot be improved on, but overall, you dont hear many complaints about any of those three points so I am very hesitant to change the CleanROM formula. It would be like "The New Coke" Some people would like it, some people would hate. I go with what what I know works for everyone and then its up to you to take it to the next level. :good:

Hope that gives you an idea of how I think when I build and mod.

Cool!

No, I got other toys (I got a new Xeon server I am trying to tune for Hyper V, a new Gal Tab 2 7.0 LTE) I am working on so unless a mojor leak or update ocmes out... There really is not a whole lot to change. Overall reaction has been quite encrouaging.

IDK? Sorry... Someone else will have to answer!

Thank you for the donation... You are now officialy what is called an "Enabler" lol ;c)

But serious, thanks! I canty buy toys and make ROMS without donations!

But I also feel the way you do... Not much left to do...

Actually, I do have a couple mods I need to get done... But nothing critical.

Nice, that means it can be hacked into the settings. I will look at that!

Yep, you negate any changes....

Good info...

I'll read up on when I can...

Flash the ROM again choosing the exact same options...

Hehehe, Nah, you know I was just joking.

I hate that damn Verizon Animation though, for real.

Sorry, no. I hate doing Launcher mods... I am sure someone else has one already.

It took me like 4 hours to do the 5x6... Thats a lot of time for very little gain.

Yep, WOW, R4R. That was the most BOMB ASS Windows Mobile ROM todate!

If your gettin bad battery other guys cna tell you what they did to resolve. I have yet to see any battery issues with any ROM I create. But I do full wipes, including SD Card so... That elimnates 99.99% of any problem and lets me enjoy the ROM the way its built. Well, the way I built it.

You're best bet is to try an alternate launcher. I cannot for the life of me see why the stock Touchwiz launcher is any better than Apex or Nova Launchers except that it's built into stock ROMs. With either one you can do SOOO much more than TW. Unbelievably more... Try Nova free version(I believe it has more perks than Apex free version)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
Also with the Apex launcher you can get a Touchwiz theme from the market for free. You can change the grid to however many rows and columns you like.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
It's a system file.. if your using ES File Explorer, go into root settings and make sure you have selected to Mount File System as writable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExcludedDroid:
Yes, I know- believe me, I'm all bout the Nova Prime, but for some reason it didn't like to stay consistently smooth, so I tried Holo HD and Apex. Apex turned out to be the smoothest for me. ( I'm a HUGE stickler about ABSOLUTELY SEAMLESS scrolling speed between homepage. And I mean HUGE-- ever since my OG Droid. I would tweak, overclock, change heap size, whatever it took to get the smoothest, buttery feel on the homesceens.) I am pretty much lag-free on apex, after turning wallpaper off, turning into tablet-ui mode and upping the scroll speed a bit. However, I've never, ever had a problem on the Touchwiz launcher. I don't know what they did different, but it's phenomenal as far as consistent smoothness. It pretty much responds as soon as your finger touches the screen, I really like it. I do love the look of AOSP, which I'm themed to look at, but I can't have everything.

Anyways, that's why I'm interested in the 5x5 Touchwiz launcher. If I knew how to do it, I would gladly invest the many hours it would take to mod it. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdella681:
Fwiw for those that have been having gps issues, what kind of case or batter covers do you use? Only because I bought a fancy battery back cover where the middle portion had some kind of brushed metal finish. I had no problems with reception (from what I thought was normal) but for some reason couldn't get my navigation working though I was able to do local searches. Then for fun I took the battery cover off (it only took me 2 weeks to figure this out lol) and tried to use my navigation it kicked in in less than a second. My reception seemed a lil better. I can literally see the "halo"around the triangle get smaller when the navigation is losing signal as i move the battery cover away from the phone. Basically the moral of the story is don't use anything metal for a case, even for a simple battery cover.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Wow! Thats insane. I would have never thought of that.

Man, his **** is FAST. I tried it last night then I compiled my own version of it, just a straight kang, IM trying to hit 2.0GHZ. I'll figure it out... BUt in reality I wont.

BUt damn....... DAMN! 1.9 is no JOKE on this device.

Im that one guy... That wants raw performance over battery but thats just me. But on the same note I will only use a stock kernel in my ROMS because they tend to blend battery with medicore performance that can be furhter enahnced by tweaking the ROM.

But damn, his kernel is no joke! I was blowing up Antutu and Quadrant!

Thanks man!

Yeah, I can do that. Its just some minor code editing. I looked at the ones in Themes and Apps and there were so many choices... I didint know where to begin so I decided to just throw in Apex and Nova instead, lol.

I dont want ot make 50 differnt launchers, that just gets to be too time consuming.

If there is a general consensus on what the perfered lay out is and the perfered wallpaper I may make that for odex. But I dont want to do 50 differnt launchers.

So think about that and provide your feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:

Had the GNex after now the sgs3. I ran imo kernels quite a bit. They'll improve each week. Wish Franco would get a sgs3 that was my go to kernel.

Hey Scott,

I can finally post in the developer section ( I needed 10 posts in other sections). I am a total noob and the GSIII is my first android device. I have flashed all the other ROMS out there and yours is the best!!

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, I have flashed every version of your ROM and every update it just gets better and better!! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FReQ Z:
Scott, awesome ROM. I've had no issues at all and couldn't be happier. Coming from a RAZR Maxx, the S3 is an amazing phone and your ROM makes it so much better. I should have known not to stray from Samsung after my Galaxy Vibrant.

As far as everyone complaining about Media battery usage... from what I've read and experienced, it's one of those things you just have to wait for. What I'm imagining is that the Media service is some sort of indexing service. Once it's done doing whatever it does, battery usage will drop. That's what happened on my phone. Took it awhile, but I also have like 10 GB of music on my phone. (I'm typing this while waiting for a floppy disk to format at work... Lol)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 9646gt:
The thought about it being a index service is pretty much correct. I used the truck of putting. No media files I folders where I didn't want scanned like the blind folder. I can't type it correctly in this post due to the SwiftKey keyboard. I also used a trick I saw where you delete media and I think downloads with titanium backup and re flashed and that also seemed to work :) will this rom seems to work awesome with the kt747 kernel.

Now I'm trying to figure out if kt747 or the default cleanrom, kernel will give better battery life.

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

What kernel are you guys using and what are your results? I currently testing the kt747 kernel to see how performance and battery life are.

I don't want to get flamed for bringing up a GPS issue, but I had the following problem this morning:

I received an instant-ish lock when navigating, but my location kept bouncing around and couldn't seem to give me an accurate indication.

Has anyone else had this issue? And could it possibly be related to kinda crap mods? I've never heard of gps issues when modifying the system u/i, framework, etc. But I could be wrong.

Another thing to consider is that I disabled background location reporting. But that shouldn't affect the functionality of standalone GPS when using it on demand for maps or navigation.

Can anyone chime in on this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Haha thanks for posting that... I remember now that that is the reason why I deleted my csc folder thus resulting in not being able to turn camera sound off... So if you want to keep camera sound option just change the values as that post that is linked to suggests. I don't know if it matters but I also changed the values in the features.xml inside of the csc folder instead of deleting... I don't know which file overrides which, the one in etc or the one in csc but that's what I did.

Hey Guys, the rom is Great and super fast. I love it. I just switched from Sprint to Verizon.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
One of the things that drives me nuts about the JB leaks is the home button binding.

Previously if the screen was off and you press the home button, the phone simply wakes up. Now if the screen is off and you press the home button it goes to the home screen immediately.

That's a pain in the butt if you have an app running in the foreground and you simply want to turn the screen on.

Any way around this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
Hm... Maybe flash again?

Mine is just fine. It might be your launcher setting if you are using a 3rd party.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
Pressing the Home button just wakes the device up for me on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Hum, two people say it works fine for them. I thought it may be the launcher as well, but it's not. Just tried the stock launcher (vs ADW Launcher EX) and it has the same behavior. Perhaps it's something with Kinda Crap Mods? That's the only other mod I've done to the ROM.

EDIT: Definitely not Kinda Crap Mods or my Launcher. I reverted both to stock and it's still occuring. To confirm my issue, if any app is open (say Gmail) and the screen turns off, pressing the home button wakes the device, but also takes you back to the home launcher instead simply waking the device like it did on ICS-based TW roms.

Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
You have to go into the settings and set a refresh interval. By default it's set to never.

I too have this happen on plain CR5 with or without mods. Only work around I've found is to try to train myself to hit the power button instead of the home button.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
This only happens for me if I press the Home button immediately after the screen turns off, but the same thing happens whether you press the Home button or the Unlock button. On this phone, when the screen turns off, it does not immediately actually lock the device. The device will lock a couple of seconds after the screen turns off. Try waiting a couple of seconds before you press the home button. Does it then bring you to your lock screen or does it still bring you to the home screen?

I am using Apex Launcher by the way, but shouldn't make a difference.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

Yeah, I know the interval is set to never by default. But how do I get into the widget settings to change the value if I don't have the TW Launcher? I was under the impression that you had to add the widget to a homescreen, and then tap on it to get into the settings. Because it is a TouchWIZ widget, it can not be added to the Apex Homescreen, and thus I have no way to access the settings. Am I missing something? Is there some other way to access the settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
My home button takes me back to the active app sometimes but the power button always gets me there. Try that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
First part: If I let the device lock and then hit the home button it does go to the lockscreen like it should. It is only right after the screen shuts off that the home button exits the currently running app.

Second part: It's under the lockscreen settings in system settings. You gotta click on the text next to the toggle in order to change settings.
