Thanks for all the discussion, this thread and rom community is awesome.

As suggested, I nuked the entire phone and clean flashed CR2.5. I'm going to leave the build alone for a couple days and see what happens....I anticipate being as happy with it as I was before I started mucking around in things I don't fully understand. :)

I guess I'll do the same....sigh....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steelersmb:
The search is down but I was wondering if there are any battery mods for this ROM?

Thanks.

I have been running Imos LeanKernel 1.0 on CleanRom 2.5 with great results. My phone is running faster and cooler. Everything is working as it was on the stock ROM, only better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
I dunno if this is because of this ROM or not, but when I watch a video I recorded from my phone on the stock Video player, its dim. I made sure the brightness is at 100% and the auto brightness is off. If I watch the same video I uploaded on YouTube then the brightness is there. I didn't notice this on stock or on on Jellywiz. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
Anyway to get Dark Horse theme on this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdg1:
Went back to G7 radio on 2.5. My battery life was awful on the HD radio. Also it wasn't running as smooth to me for some reason. My signal was never a problem before on G7 although HD may have been slightly better. May just have been me but the battery life was a deal breaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Ughhh...why is my android system at 67% in gsam? I just reflashed too because it was at 50% before. Only thing keeping me from great battery life. Would the new HD radio have anything to do with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
That's the reason a lot of people are citing for reflashing.

Scott, are you using the default kernel along with the G7 radio? Just want to know how to get battery life like yours =)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I did reflash. First time I flsshed it was at 50%. Reflashed an now at 67%. This never happened before with this ROM so idk if I'm doing something wrong or what.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
Can someone decipher this, I thought I was running CR 2.1 on stock kernel, the screenshot makes it look like I'm running synergy on clean kernel?? CR 2.1 is on stock kernel isn't it? Either way this config is working flawlessly so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
You are running Synergy ROM, CleanKernel 1.0, and HD Modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
Bizarre, will restore on recovery not replace your rom and kernel? I restored an installation of CM 2.1....hmmmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Restore replaces whatever you have backed up, ROM,Kernel, etc. Do you have more than one backup that you created with different setups?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Guys, look, listen to me.... This will be the last time I say this about battery and radio combos....

If you are runnign this ROM I strongly urge you to odin back to G1, take the OTA and then unlock again and leave the Radios alone. Radios are meant to be matched to a ROM.

All the people flashing back and forth with radios... You screwing things up. Read my prior statements on radios and RIL. You cant just flash a radio and expect it to work perfect, its not that simple. There is more to a radio than just a single file.

Here is what I did get the results I have on my personal phone...

I OTA'ed from an Odined G1 base then unlocked (luckily it could still be done) then flashed TWRP then wiped data and then flashed ROM (a bit more than tha because at one point I actlay had to make the ROM too!).

I have STELLAR battery and the ROM is smooth all the time.

If you have not done this and you are having issues I would highly urge you to do that!

Look who has flashed radios and this and that and see what they report and then look at the people that took my path and look at what they report. Enough said?

Sorry if this comes off as arrogant but I have explained this quite a few times and no one seems to listen to what I say and I know the XDA search function is broken so I am not holding anyone to searching what I have said prior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
amen brother !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
When I Oden back to G1 do I have to root there or wait to root the OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Root the OTA. Casual works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Amazing how many questions are answered IF you just take some time to read the thread (about last 20-40). Is that too much to ask? Everyones time is valuable and the less repeats the smaller the thread (and hey easier to read through). Search not working? RTFM.

Also listening to the DEV is always best.

Last point unless asked to reporting that something the DEV recommends against is working fine for YOU is just ok the first time someone does it. Great for you but after that WE KNOW, just keep in mind it may not work well with others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
OMG! Thats a mess!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I personally like using hellsdroids root tool. Then using casual to unlock the bootloader. I have issues with Casual freezing on my machine.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt... But the unlocked bootloader works every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
I do and I rename the restore file based the the architecture, such as CM2.1.v1.2.bomb, I will have to do some looking into my other restore files...the screenshot I shared, is the the only place to look to determine architecture?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I thought so too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
HAHAhahahaha... Oh well things happen!

We can get him straight through!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
Scott, thanks for the clear information. Your post does not come across as arrogant, just informative and a bit frustrated at having to say it multiple times. Please realize all of us crackflashers are (by nature) anxious and impatient for the Next Big Thing.

You have more knowledge of these things than the rest of us, or we'd all be writing our own roms. When you provide a post such as this, even if you do it multiple times, we all learn a little more about the hardware we love.

Thanks again for doing the work you do. Thanks also for providing the clear soup-to-nuts explanation of the proper upgrade path. Assuming I get home from a dinner party in time this evening, I'm going to follow that path exactly. I'm stoked to see just how much time I can get out of my now well-conditioned Seidio 3500mAh monsterjuicepack. ;)

Have a great evening.

Hey, I know I am about to get flamed in my own thread... But screw it... I dont know the answer and I know someone can point me in the right direction....

Can this phone be used on GSM networks? IF so do I just need get it unlocked? Is it a world phone? If so I would like to use my Net10 Sim with it.

Let me know....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Yes it can be used on GSM. Go into dowload mode and while Odining the HD modem unplug device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
Yeah, was shocked to see that as well, lol, but works like a champ, not a single issue, so far, battery use decent, smooth, no lag, radio works well (nonbetter, nonworse than stock) GPS works fine. Not convinced that screenshot was right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Man if it works and your happy that's all that matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You almost got me on that.....

But for real? Is this GSM Capable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Didn't think you were being serious. I was told once by a VZW rep that JB is supposed to unlock it for GSM but he couldn't explain more and I didn't really understand how it could.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, I am being dead serious. I would really like to be able to use my Net10 pre-paid sim in both my One X and my SGS3 so I dont have to play for SMS and Call forward game if I want to switch up.

Scott WTH someone got there balls pinched today or what? ..

Ha! Ha!

Hey, I just want to look at this situation on these HD Radio/Kernel from both sides of the avenue to sort of speak. Maybe some are posting their results as to inform others that YMMV type deal & might not be such a good idea for others. If anyone does try the VRALHD radio with 2.5 or Cleanrom 2.5 with VRALHD kernel that need to remember they made decision to go ahead do.

Now like guyd did, he stated very clearly what he set out to do and didn't mix radio or kernel and is using both in accordance with Cleanrom 2.5. His is results great for him, but may not be for everyone else. Sorry bro, wasn't picking on you guyd, forgive me! lol!

Remember too Scott you spoke about building a HD build and looking at running it on G7 kernel. Maybe somewhere along those words you spoke were to out of context and some how misconstrued what you were going to do eventually for like 2.6/3.0 etc. Someone figuring well if Scott could build a killer Rom mixing uniqueness & stability with a new Kernel, maybe we can mix it up to as well

Now don't go getting ill with me & burn my a**, this is just my opinion and that is just that! Meaning nothing ...Lol?

Yeah know what you mean there Scott, would like to use my At&t sim prepaid when switching out like they can on the Rezound!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
for what its worth, I was on 2.1, and kernel 1.2 with radio G1... flashed 2.5, and and G7, runs beautifully. Havent needed to mess with something that works beyond this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
No offense taken. It amazes me at how many different results you see posted here with the same software/firmware.

I chalk it upto minor differences in the integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and sometimes just user error.

I don't mind posting the results I get with various combinations of Recovery, ROM, Radio, and Kernel that I've tried.

Like most here, I'm looking to get the best performance and best battery life possible out of this thing :victory:

Scott has done a great job with CleanROM, and that's why I've never bothered using anything else. It's De-Bloated, Fast, and Reliable!

Hey guys, I have the HD radio installed with clean kernel, but I keep reading about a HD radio kernel. Where can I find a link to this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thanks man, much appreciated. I am going to play around with it tonight!

No, no, thats not what I asked. What I asked people to test is the G7 Kernel on the HD base and vice versa. I never asked anyone to change radios. Ever.

Then I said I would make a further determination of a final conclusion at a later time. Im still drawn on what I want to do. I wish samsung woudl just release the damn source code already.

BUt yeah, what I am getting, when you take tyhings into your own hands and start swaping out radios then just dont report problems in the thread. IM going to put that in the OP actually :good:

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
Yeah... The video player has its own brightness settings separate of the phone brightness setting. Just like the stock browser does as well ;)

As far as odin'ing back to stock to take the Ota just to make things work right...that's a personal preference. And radio flashes can be done over and over and over. See what works for you. It's all about what works for the particular individual. There is no "this way is best" :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Hence the reason I said that your words were probably misontruded. You know people read really quick and don't really pay full attention to all these posts!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] midnight assassin:
Can anyone tell me if I can use casual to go back to stock in order to do the ota then re root and go from there. I'd Odin if I had a pc but I have a mac. Sorry if this should be asked somewhere else but I'm running this Rom and people here are pretty helpful. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
I have Odin-ed back to stock. Anyone know of any way to force the g7 ota. I have checked for it and it says to check back when the service is available. Any way to speed up the ota's arrival or do i just wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Yeah been reading somewhere it was suggested that could go into apps-all-google service framework & clear all. Should try this and see if it would begin the process for you, may have to try it couple of times to see if it will kick in for you thou.

Good Luck! AC

Yea I tried it didnt work. Even tried a factory reset and re-odin with F2 instead of G1. Anyone have a download link to the OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Got a quick question did you do it on celluar or over wifi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I was gonna say, why not just download the G7 Odin? Thats going to be the quickest way.

Search for it in this thread...

Oh wait NVM, I dont think search is working... But I posted a link to another thread that has the link to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus2297:
Regarding the GPS issues I have had and others too.. just for kicks I am using liquid smooth JB ROM.. and to clear this up before its gets started.. this us not a knock on Scotts ROM but more of question/ info.. I am having wonderful GPS "reception".. I have used Scott's ROM and the stock, and the new HD leak.. and had horrible GPS coverage I thought it was surely hardware rated but since flashing this AOSP ROM GPS locks fast indoors outdoors navigation works properly...

So my question is this.. what would cause my phone to have GPS issues on stock type (TW) ROMs but not on aosp ROMs..

And yes I odin'ed back took the OTA etc,etc.. and always had issues but instantly upon flashing a aosp ROM my GPS issues are no longer issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Can I use a different cable besides the oem Samsung cable to odin back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
IDK, lol. I would have linked to begin with and the XDA search ash been broken :(

I don tknow, on the G7 base, with G7 based kernel, and G7 Radio I got locks in under 5 seconds. I was so shocked about how fast it locked. The G1 and F2 wore horrible.

Yeah, I never ever use my factory issued cable. I keep everything in the box, the charge, the cable, the manuals, etc. So if I ever want to sell it it will Like NIB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I didin thave the problem when I did it. Worked fine!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
me too!!! i keep checking!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
Maybe it means VZ is prepping for a new OTA... like jellybean.... just joking.

Well from all the problems at least we can most likely conclude its an issue on verizon's end. I've seen it happen before and there is no OTA waiting for us on the other end. Just sucks being stuck on stock right now while waiting! (I looked for the g7 link but couldn't find it either)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I will upload the G7 Odin package when I get home... But somoene needs to mirror it on a fast stable site. I am not going to have that MONSTER on my website. It will kill my bandwidth!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ugh, I dont have it!

I thought i did but now that I remember I had to just wait for the OTA when I went back to G1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Invisblek has the OTA but not sure how to apply it on Samsungs..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mustang302LX:
Isn't that a flashable zip he made of the stock ROM with root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hyunge:
So I did some back tracking, did system format, wiped everything (including @@@) did a clean fresh install of CR 2.5, had the build reporting correctly. Started installing my apps....what I found, after installing wallet with walletsynergy.......zip, it changed my build report to that of synergy without installing synergy rom???? Doesn't seem to hurt anything but credits, that same zip makes market (and xda) think I have a nexus. Anyways, off topic (I changed my build prop back without good results, read it, did it) interesting though that the wallet zip would change my build report and take Scott's credit for CR.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I would have to assume being only 30 megs the answer is no or he is much better at compression than any other living being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mustang302LX:
lol yeah probably should have looked at the file size. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
So I just Odin'd back to VRLF2 and I'm getting the service unavailable error when checking for OTA. I'm about to just flash 2.5 w/o the new G7 baseband first until we get a G7 Odin package. If I flash 2.5 and the G7 modem coming from stock/locked VRLF2, what will the differences be compared to coming from G7 instead of VRLF2? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
My battery life has been nothing short of awesome the past several weeks now. Had a rocky start but it worked itself out. Been averaging 17hrs with medium/fairly heavy use and near up to 2 days on the weekends with lighter use.

Today was very much different though. Dont know what happened really. Charged full/unplugged and then plugged back in to full charge. Unplugged and went about my day. By noon I had very light use but noticed my phone was draining much quicker than normal. Went on a date with the wife in the evening and got home around 7. looked at phone and it was down to 20%. I opened up app sucker and saw an abnormally high Android system %. I haven't done anything different with my phone today than what I do every other day of the week.

Any ideas on what I can check? This just something that happens every now and then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
IDK if this helps but the update from verizon is only 30 mb...its not compressed its just a minor update...heres the link

Also, could we not be recieving the OTA because our bootloader is unlocked? I odined back to G1 and can't get the OTA I know people already stated this...just thinking of why the OTA isn't working.

Maybe we just flash the 30 mb zip from stock root 66?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Everyone who is having problems with the service unavailable error when trying to update..... I and many others on stock had this problem too. A new sim card fixed the problem for me and many others (not everyone). It's free so worth trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
So everyone's sim malfunctioned at the same time? I'd say its more likely that its an issue on their end. That would effect us all like it is now. I'm thinking that any minute all of us who are back to stock will get an ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Not everyone has this problem. If everyone had this problem I would agree with you. If it was on their end why would a new sim make the service work correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sunNsnow:
I was on 2.5 for about a week have not experienced the SIM card issue. I did notice that in a known low signal area, 2.5 would take longer to to catch a signal than stock or 2.1. (I've had this experience before with a Droid 2 in the same area.) I would have to either: reboot or put it into airplane mode for a minute.

I went back to 2.1 because I liked the awesome battery life and customizations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Has anyone called Verizon tech support and asked if there is a problem with OTA'S?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Does anybody know if dirty tweaks is being updated to work with 2.5??

I flashed back to 2.1 to regain the volume switch tracks feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
Yeah. I see what you're saying. But I havent heard of anyone who went back to stock in the last 18 hours or so who can receive the ota. I'm definitely not ruling out a new sim though. Only problem I have with that is that my phone us activated and seemingly working fine, other than the ota. Wouldn't a sim problem sort of all or nothing?

Just thinking out loud to you guys.
