Ok, in 5.5.1 and 5.5.0 I used a lot of tweaks that work just fine on Note 2...

Those tweaks may vary because of hardware differences, etc... Quadcore vs dual core...

So I reverted back to my trusty set of proven SGS3 build prop tweaks.

Can someone who had screen flicker or heavy lag try this patch...

May need to factory reset after installing the patch. May also fix 20% battery drop.

If it doesnt fix any of those issues... Samsung screwed something up...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
Also... regarding blocking mode that I know a few people had mentioned... I found that if there is a toggle switch in the notification pulldown (which I got via KoC mod) it can be long pressed to access the hidden menu... thought maybe you might wanna know for a future update as a quick access... although I imagine you probably already knew that lol

EDIT. FLASHED THE PATCH JUST WIPED CACHE AND DALVIK... WENT THRU AND CHECKED THE APPS I HAD IT WITH THE MOST AND NO MORE FLICKER :D :thumbup:

As for the random battery life, I'm not having that issue with this ROM.

I don't know about the screen flicker issues, but my ROM is working fine from a clean install.

Flashed the 5.5.2 test patch and am still experiencing the 23% battery hang for about 2 hours then phone dies. Plug in charger and power on and phone says Charging 0%. Tried wiping battery stats and wiping dalvik cache/cache plus total device wipe including factory reset plus format system prior to installing ROM.

Anyone getting random reboots? My wife's phone will reboot, often times when she's not doing anything. I did a wipe before installing.

I asked this in the Q&A section with no answer. Maybe someone in here can help. My Internet sync always have an error in the Google sync settings with every Internet app that I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
So what's the cons of the patch? Does it completely disable hardware rendering? What are the drawbacks? I haven't noticed screen flicker myself but curious if this patch should be applied anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bimmerd00d:
I understand. I guess I'll keep using subpar ROMs on my gs3, lol...

With the power trip that xda has been on recently closing threads its better Scott be safe than sorry.

So to move from the Jelly Bean Factory Image rom here to this, it sounds like I need to flash the deodexed rooted 4.1.1 first, and then I can flash this? Just getting my ducks in a row.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
As long as you have unlocked bootloader and a recovery from CWM or the other one just wipe data and cache then install rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gareee:
Yep, the factory jb rom has the unlocked bootloader and clockwork. There are just some features in cleanrom that are really desirable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyroscott:
Wipe data and cache and install cleanrom... As stated by p-slim

The sound bars are Sony too. Any other Sony issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpe13:
Having an issue with 5.5.1. Didn't have this with any other clean rom releases. After passing a button to get my screen to turn on, I have no network signal. Usually with 2-3 seconds I'll be on 4g again. I did a factory reset before going to 5.5.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Ok I have a really stupid question here but its kind of worth asking. So From my understanding group messaging has been broken since ics. If you were to send a group text it would make its own thread when sending out the message but when receiving a text it would be threaded into individual threads based on who texted you. I have always been annoyed that this feature was so broken and I honestly was jealous that the IPhone and even far older phones have this ability. Anyways I understand that in 4.2 this problem has been fixed natively but I am curious of anyone knows if group messaging works properly in this rom? I know that this is mainly based off of the Verizon leak but I was wondering if It was in this rom and if not if it would be hard to incorporate it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaintDrinkingPete:
Just use a 3rd party app. I know GoSMS and Handcent are the two most popular, and I *think* group messaging works with them; I actually use Verizon's messaging app, VZMessages, and it works great. Group messaging works fine and the pop-up notifications are nice too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
Download Verizon Messaging jn tge Play Syore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
Thanks for the suggestion. Trust me Even if this is not in this rom Im going to love it none the less but I already know third party apps already support this. Im weird in a way and I just like to remain as stock as possible so I try not to use go sms or handcent that much. Just kind of sucks that it was not incorporated properly into ics or jb =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaintDrinkingPete:
I get that -- that's kinda why I use the Verizon app. It's not nearly as "feature rich" as the some of the others, but it does integrate quite nicely with the stock setup, and even does delivery receipts in-line which I really like. It doesn't feel like I'm running it "on top of something else".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
Did a quick search and couldn't find the answer. Who wants a quick THANKS? I'm trying to get the lock screen new message/missed call/etc notification back. TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Using root explorer or something along those lines, go to your systems/csc/ and there is a file named customer.xml. if you rename or delete it , it should bring back the bubble notifications. Never been any reports of instability or errors doing so. Make sure you reboot!

Lots of people figure that its our good old pal Verizon who decided to add that in there to take away our bubbles, but they're my bubbles!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ohlin5:
This is what I've heard you would need to do too. However, I think I read somewhere that by doing this the help notification that tells you to 'slide away from the icon to view missed messages' will never go away. Workaround for that is to disable all help messages I think. I could be wrong on this, but just wanted to let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
I never had that issue, it will pop up since the phone realizes it is the first time you are seeing the notifications since they weren't there before hand. But after that, just like any other annoying pop up help message, you have the option to check where it says "Do not show this again" which i believe is checked by default anyway. I think what people were doing is they most likely unchecked that option. Some people do check and uncheck options without realizing it so panic and get everyone going lol. So just making sure its checked to not show again, and hitting ok you are good to go. No more pop up :good:

My battery life has been horrid. I know there is something with Google maps, but search function on xda app, not so good. Any help would be great. I did a clean flash and even formatted my internal sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
hmm thats odd, especially since your on screen time and awake time look nearly identical. What is your on screen time btw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Just a couple questions for anyone on this awesome ROM. I only have two issues one may be the app itself another may just be a random occurrence since I've only been on it a few days.

1. Anyone using Swiftkey 3 (newest version) find it annoying that when you send a text and are still in the conversation window sometimes the suggested words at the top of keyboard will disappear until you either leave screen or just quickly pull down notification bar?

2. Last night charged phone to 100% after letting it drop to around 5%, woke up today with it at 83% and the Phone process running awake for 48 Minutes. Anyone know whats up with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scorchedsky:
I've seen this happen on the previous leaks (I5 and K1 specifically). Check BBS, partial wakelocks should indicate you've got an RILJ wakelock. I can't replicate it but it sometimes happens when rebooting or connecting to different wi-fi networks. RILJ won't keep the phone awake constantly, 48 minutes overnight seems about typical to me (about 6-9 min of wakelock per hour?)

I've only been able to stop it by making/receiving a call or sending/receiving a text...basically anything that interacts with the radio. It stops if it's in airplane mode, but just starts back up again as soon as you turn on the radio. It even persists through reboots. Must something with the RIL not being happy with the tower connection somehow, idk the details but maybe someone can look into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
1. What exactly do you mean? does this happen while you are still typing a message or when you send it? I used swiftkey to see what you was referring to and I dont see any issue with it.

2. That could be one of many things. Maybe an app you have is getting your cpu stuck at a certain speed not allowing it to sleep. try using better battery stats. it will give you that exact information. Can even screen shot your battery stats in the battery section of your settings. May even show up in there without the use of better battery stats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaskwith:
Just flashed the newest clean rom and the new radio the blk3 and my phone is overheating... Anyone else having these problems? Flashing a different radio fix the overheating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Not that I know of. Overheating as in shut down from overheat, or it just felt hot to start off with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
This had been mentioned before and I have experienced it as well... I did notice that after a day or so the heat issue seems to calm itself down

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 420fan:
This what your looking for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] grazzhoppa50:
You're right, that does suck for only 1 hour screen on time. If you just flashed it, give it a day or 2 to settle. Otherwise get something like GSam Battery Monitor to see what is sucking up the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
yeah that's it, that's definitely no good. But from your screen of your basic battery stats doesn't seem to indicate any drain, and your awake time looks identical to your on screen time. Could be a bad battery, but if you would like, you can run Better Battery Stats and send those stats over to me I can analyze them for you. Maybe there's a very power hungry process that wakes up only when you wake up your phone eating up your battery. But that usually indicates a bad battery but lets not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Just saying that is the worst case scenario, otherwise we can find out what is killing your battery so quickly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpe13:
I shut data off overnight, but I usually only lose 2-3%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
shutting off data is unnecessary really. Its all a matter of what apps you are running and how often you have everything syncing and such. But I guess if you are in a scenario where you just don't want to be notified with anything involving data sure you can shut it off. But I run with Data/Wifi on 24/7 and overnight over a 6-8 hour period I lose 1-2%. My phone when screen is off averages a loss of 0.3% /h
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
What is your screen brightness set at?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
well its not his screen brightness. You can tell just by the % of what his screen is using to eat up battery, which its in the 30s which indicates its not all that bright
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
Well maybe not but my 1hr of screen on didn't take up 37%. My thinking was 4G only, outside with screen set to AUTO and a light BK could eat battery fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
well my concern for him is that my stats screen is similar to him yet my drain is substantially less. I run auto brightness switch between wifi and 4G and even running 4G all day im still pulling 5+ hours on screen time with about 10hrs total battery life and I am a very heavy user. 1 hr of on screen time no matter how you run it. shouldnt be that bad especially if your screen is only taking 37% of your battery. Something is definitely eating his battery, either that or its just conked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
Scott,

Been on your ROMS since the Rezound and followed you over here. For the life of me can't figure out what is going on.

I have done a complete wipe, switched ROMs and still for some reason have the following problems:

1. can't install the 4.2 or Note2 camera to this ROM.

2. phone keeps on going crazy with temp/battery, it just went crazy last week:

I dont know what is going on. I have tried to switch to other ROMs but keep coming back.

I tried to redownload and did it, but it would get stuck after trying to check the Adblock in Aroma installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Wow that is some mean drain and a pretty hot battery! So this started happening recently?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Go to advanced settings I'm the WiFi section of the settings and select never for the keep WiFi on during sleep. 4G should continue to stay afterwards.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I've been experiencing the same thing, but it's not just this ROM. it's every ROM.. so either I'm doing something wrong, or my battery/phone is shot lol.

i've had it for 3 days now, and every night i leave it off the charger cos im a lite user, and every other phone ive owned the most ive lost is maybe 5%, i pull it off the charger at 100%, and wake up with about 30%.

I'f someone can help me out, I installed , betterbatterystats, batterystatsplus, and gsambattery.

hopefully one of these can help diagnose this problem. I really enjoy this phone, and ROM. wish I could get the 2 days of batt life I know I should be getting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
You can shoot the stats to me after a run through. Ill take a look at them. But yeah could be a shot battery but the thing is your temps are abnormally high as if something is trying to draw a lot of power from it at a rapid pace.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
For the first one if (I use GoSMS) if you go into a message, make sure the keyboard is up with the suggested words showing then if I turn off screen and turn it back on the suggested words will be gone until what I previously stated. Just a pet peeve I guess, it might even be GoSMS.

As for #2, I reinstalled BBS the second I saw this but will just need to recharge tonight and find out whats killing it. I usually use (before yesterday) 2% within 8 hours of idle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
yeah, i was on 5.0 went over to jelly beans, came back with a dirty flash. lost calendar functionality so did a complete wipe.

might be a permission problem as well, just cant figure out what could possibly be the problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
ahh i get you on that one. Yeah certain things apps do bother me too at times lol. And you have to love BBS! Hopefully you find whats killing it. I typically have the same amount of drain when my phone is asleep as youre used to getting, think BBS had it at .3% drain/h

Did the complete wipe help? Or are you still having the same problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
Are you using SwiftKey flow or SwiftKey 3? I only ask because using SwiftKey flow ate my battery quickly for some reason and I had to revert back to SwiftKey 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squidmaster:
Seriously once i got my battery issue straightness out this is the best ROM I've ever used. 5.0 got me almost 2 days of battery life, but the phone got super hot every time I used it. 5.5.1 has no overheating issue at all, so I expect even better battery life.

Thank you so much for your work! I'll be sending a donation later tonight! As everyone should!

I'm having a problem adding email /making a new email / restoring old accounts. It will either time out or just not connect. Anyone else have this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
Just thinking that those having major problems may want to try the "start over" fix. ODIN back to 100% stock, live with it for a day and see if there are still problems. Then root, unlock the bootloader and flash CleanRom. Give it another 24 hours and if no problems appear, then start reloading your apps straight from Play.

It used to be a standard recommendation when I had my Fascinate.

Did you restore it from a backup, or install using a package that made it a system app? If so, delete it and grab a fresh copy from the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
That patch smoothed a lot of stuff up for me. Been running ADW EX this week (throwback!!!!) and the patch smoothed out all scrolling issues.

One thing to note when flashing the patch -- it wiped out my widgets and defaulted my browser settings. No biggie, just making others aware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Did you factory restore or just flash ontop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
I missed the talk of this patch. I need to go back and read when I get a chance. In a nutshell can you elaborate? I'm having no scrolling or graphical glitches on 5.5.1 so I'm guessing the patch probably will not apply to me.... Love the throw back to adw/ex oh the good ole days.

Has anyone else experienced this? When I install apps from play store, immediately when it finishes my phone locks up for like. 10-20 seconds. Odd. Never happened before. Not a big deal but its doing it. But mine has settled out now. Battery is doing great. Rom is super smooth. Only other thing is the music player pops up randomly at the top at times.(I've had that problem every since v4 Le.) Which neither of these are big just throwing them out in case someone might know how to fix one. Thanks for the great ROMs scott!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
People were complaining of lag and screen flicker. Scott put out the above patch. I wasn't really having any issues but noticed ADW was a little choppy. Disabled wallpaper scrolling and it smoothed out. Flashed the mod (cause I flash anything dude puts out) and I noticed my launcher was instantly smoother. Put wallpaper scrolling back on and it's butter. I just wiped dalvik/cache and flashed it. All of my homescreen widgets reset but that took about 1.5 minutes to fix. Battery almost seems better too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmedhaug:
I think it has to do with deep sleep. I usually see this after not using the phone for a while. Don't be alarmed its to conserve battery. Texts and stuff should still go through. I still get emails so data works. Have you changed any network settings, added any mods?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaegermeiste:
The switch global dialog happens to me on the subway all the time. The worst part is that it steals focus - pulls you completely out of an app into the Settings. It's quite irritating, but I think the phone finds signal from AT&T or T-Mobile and asks if the user wants to switch as a "feature", in the same sense that the persistent WiFi notification was a "feature". I haven't done too much SQL or Shared Prefs spelunking in search of a way to disable it, though. I usually just turn data off after the first time it annoys me.
