Those numbers aren't bad at all. It only used 30% of 94% of your battery over the course of over 19.5 hours. That means if it weren't for the other apps, your phone, starting with a full battery, could standby for over 60 hours (over 2.5 days). That's pretty good I think, especially if it also maintained a data connection for those screenshots, and super-duper-especially if it was a 4G connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep!

They do.

Heard someone else say something about it. Not sure though... Mine seem to be just fine.

I agree!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
So if someone tries to flash a custom ROM on an S3 that doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, and the flash fails, they have to Odin back to stock? Even if no changes were made and the phone will still boot into stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] springsyeti:
That is what I had to do. My phone would not boot to stock or recovery. Even charging with the phone off I would get the unapproved Verizon message. Odin was my only recourse. Being a Mac user it took me some time to find a Windows computer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Ahh that's what I was missing then. I couldn't figure out why they were being told to Odin back to stock if the flash failed because I didn't know they couldn't boot. I understand now.

Ad Free

When I installed the rom I chose the Ad Blocking hosts file. When I restored my apps with TB, it included Ad Free.

Do they use the same hosts file?

If I uninstall Ad Free - will this remove this shared hosts file?

Ad Free allows updating the hosts file with a current version - any reason not to keep Ad Free and update it once in a while?

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'd like to know how to turn this off as well

I was just trying to remap my home double tap to Google Voice Search when I realized there is no Voice Search in the app drawer.

Anyone else notice this? How do I remap the home key if there's no Voice Search app listed?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Try deselecting 'show help text' in lock screen settings. I think that'll do the trick... I believe there's an app called home 2 click (or something like that) that will allow you to remap home key function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jy3ng4:
Already deselected :( It got rid of most of the help text but the one that shows up after a missed call still appears :/

Yay that worked! I selected/deselected it again and rebooted and now it disappeared. Thank you!

Well the problem is that Voice Search doesn't even appear in the installed apps list. I know I have it because when I go to the regular Search app and click on the little microphone, the Voice Search app opens. But it's not listed in my installed apps or in the app drawer. Does it show up for you (if you're also using CleanROM)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Even if the flash is good it will still not boot. The only thing that will happen is you get this bigg ass Yello Triangle that says "Your device... Bla bla bla Tamper.... Bla bla bla Contact Verizon bla bla bla..." You can get back into download mode but the fact of the matter is onece you touch that boot.img partition and your boot loader is locked... Your done! Odin it back.

Ahhh Damn... You just gave me yet another reason to not fully dump Windows for Linux... Good call. But I guess I can do that on my laptop.

Yeah.

Because ad free is yet another useless app in the app drawer. I like my ROM Clean ;)

Hmmm.... I will take a look but I plan on rebuilding ROM this weekend....

Well see though...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
hey scott you should grab incubus latest jellybean base and insert your clean rom 15 toggle mod without any theming. just like in cleanrom. or make it an optional mod for it.

you ar ethe only developer that know how to mod a touchwiz rom with the 15 toggle mod without the blue horrible ics theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Funny thing is.... Its not my mod... Its kindacrap's mod, lol. Look at the op, hahahah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
What canges to the ramdisk need to be made to allow for custom boot animations. THis is my first sammy and I have never done it before....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
He guys, I'm loving the Rom so far. On I love that at at the beginning my battery stays up for awhile.. I.e it takes forever for it to drain to70 or so. But then after that, it starts draining at like 5 times the speed. I'll end up going from 50 to 30 in an hour or so with moderate usage no only texting, no Wii wifi Bluetooth 4g let nothing lol. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Assuming a clean install then I would say drain and cycle charge it two days in a row. Or you have a bad battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
Do you plan on updating anytime soon Scott?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Plan on it but doesnt mean it will happen :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
ok cool, just wanna make sure. Also, I just reinstalled the rom, and now I dont have any ringtones. I wiped everything too so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Reboot your phone then check
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
Is that a common thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Scott if you do a rebuild I'd like to request a deodexed version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Out of many thousands of downloads this is the first report of it ever.

I am thinking about doing the next iteration as de-odex.... Make it more compatible and with the kernel I am building it really doesnt matter if its odex or de-odex because its damn fast anyways, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Yeah, not for speed but it'd make it easier to install some mods and themes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Can I please get a yes or no answer on whether or not tethering will result in a higher bill
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SpellronHD:
Would this work on an AT&T Galaxy S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
No, If you are on a tiered data plan. Even on unlimited data plans, many have reported it worked fine without any charges from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
Sarcasm is not needed. Just a simple question with a simple answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Chill out bro! Don't read too much into it. The answer he gave was a simple one.

In other words, you are the first to report it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Where do you get sarcasm? It was a simple answer. Someone is wearing panties a few sizes too small. Take a breath and notch back your sensitivity.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

On another note my first install of 2.1 started out great but after a few days I started getting all sorts of instability (lock ups and weird errors). I realized I had not made my standard notes of what changes I made after and initial flash. Odined back to stock and clean flash and much better now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
Woah people chill out! I thought it was sarcasm. My apologies if im wrong. It just seemed to simple of an answer to not be sarcasm. If it wasn't then I'm sorry.

Anyone else have responsiveness issues with the home button on the Stock type ROMs? I feel they have a bit of a lag on them....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I haven't ran anything but TW, but yeah I definitely notice the lag. Not just this rom either. All of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerseykirby:
Good to know I'm not the only one. I have noticed it with all TW type ROMs. It can be annoying. I believe there is a fox for it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I would like to know of this fix. Cause your right, it's very annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I believe the lag has to do with S Voice if I remember correctly and how you can double tap the home button to activate it.

I remember the fix is disabling the double tap or launch of S Voice. I don't remember exactly since I don't use S Voice and freeze it, but maybe someone that knows can chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I'm not on this rom but I know that on stock if you don't disable double pressing home to launch s voice it causes lag. s voice > settings > uncheck the double press to launch s voice. I'm assuming everyone here knows this but just in case....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Two fixes I know of are:

-disable the S-Voice shortcut for the home button

-go into developer options and set both Windows and Transition settings to .5x
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I wonder if since I'm using home2shortcut to link me to Google search, if that's still keeping the lag for me. I did disable svoice shortcut to set up the other shortcut.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mzimand:
Disable S-VOICE and the lag will go away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nighthawk34691:
Scott...I have to hand it to ya...you have done an absolute fantastic job on this rom!! I tried JellyWiz Bean Rom a few days ago and it doesnt even compare to the stablility and speed yours has, even though they are two totally different roms... So I came back and sticking with CleanRom... but this inquiring mind wants to know...do you plan to do a Bean rom anytime soon?:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seegs11:
new guy coming from the galaxy nexus & finally found my favorite ROM for my S3. Thanks so much for this. so smooth, fast, and i'm actually a big fan of touchwiz. This ROM is perfect. I just need to test the battery life on this to see if it'll be my daily driver. I've been on the stock ROM because I've had no issues with battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I agree with everybody here, this is the best G3 ROM hands down.

Scott's ROMs are awesome, I have been running some variation of CleanROM since my TouchPro Windows phone days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jy3ng4:
Is there a way to reprogram a long press of the home button? I'd like it to bring up Voice Search if possible, instead of the recent apps list. I'm on Apex Launcher btw.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Try the odex of the update g7. Scotts other one. It's amazing . 33 hours on one charge and 22% battery still left. 3.5 hours screen time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerseykirby:
Where can I find this!?! How often do you use your phone? Are you keeping data off or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frankiedizzle87:
How does this compare to synergy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WolfsFang:
would like to know also, seems these two are the biggest roms for our phones. Just want a room for speed, a nice theme would be a plus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Try the rom. What have you got to lose?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] frankiedizzle87:
Ywa I like synergy and don't wanna just start over so anyone who tried it is it bug less and just complete perfection?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watanuki-Kun:
Hey scrosler, any plans on adding a circle battery mod with percent, something like Synergy's rom has to CleanRom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
I have question for the OP. If and when you make a JB variant of your rom, are you going to use a leak from another carrier, one from verizon of wait for official JB and use that? Just wondering because I see everyone using leaks and from my experience on my last phone the leaks are never as good as the real versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WolfsFang:
just go the rom, will report back in a day or two for my input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
It's the stock rooted Verizon update that Scott odexed. It's in the list
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
If it is added I hope it will be an option. I much prefer the stock battery and percentage than anything circle. Circle mods, for me, are dated :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watanuki-Kun:
Yep, I was asking if there were any plans on adding it as an option to the aroma installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
Great idea :thumbup:

This is the first phone I've ever used with aroma... And I absolutely love it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] **super_flasher**:
Having a hard time installing this Rom.

Ez unlock says downloader unlocked but Rom won't install...I did notice that the aroma installer when installing the % onthe bottom right did not come off 0.00 wondering if that was normal or maybe bad download ..please help with any suggestions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Sorry for the thanks...did you check MD5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davpel:
Scott: Are VZW over-the-air updates blocked in your rom? Now that we have the unlocked bootloader, this feature becomes even more necessary due to the warnings about an OTA update bricking the phone. If its not in, could you add it to the next version? I know that Synergy has this baked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
along those lines, do you have the root checker/spyware blocked or removed on this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Can I flash 1.1 directly over 1.0 or should I wiped the big 3?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII running CleanROM 1.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Hmmm.... Generally my understanding on HTC devices is that if its not the stock ROM it wont allow you to regardless. I am not sure about Sammy. I will have to look into it. Good heads up!

What the hell is that? Keep in mind I am coming from HTC devices so I dont know all the caveats of Samsung... Tell me more about this?

Gonna PM eschelon and see what he can tell me too.

Should be safe as long as you wipe all caches... If you get funky results then wipe all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
I'm getting a unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working v1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
All the time or during the intial set up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
initial setup and i rebooted and got it again..Im going to reflash it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Nope

Dont.

Its because the phone is not getting a signal on boot. Just ignore it. The ROM boots faster than your phone can aquire a signal.

I can try to slow the ROM boot down some, lol. But I dont think that is a good solution, lol

Its nothing to worry about.

Go outside and reboot your phone where you have a strong signal and you will see what I mean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I added this to the Op about AccuWeather....

I will push an update once I figure out how to get that damn notification out of the pull down. No need to update for something so minor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
Yeah, I did unlock it and its booting fast as hell
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
samsung & verizon have a root checker process and app to spy on you and see if your running root.

I think there are some removal procedures in synergys init.d scripts and there is an apk that needs to be removed (SysScope.apk i believe)

I was wondering, I saw a lot of **** in the Ram Disk... I also saw that they turned off some features that the Sprint version has turned on... Verizon is up to there old tricks I see!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
What features, might I ask?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] itstee:
tried flashing the v1.1 over 1.0 and its stuck on "Samsung Galaxy SIII" screen. all i did before was unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Bluetooth Tether for one!

Try flashing the ROM again. I bet it got corrupted or something. Also, make sure you check the MD5. Every once in a while a website will spit out bad bits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hsoras:
So I just rooted and did the Casual unlock bootloader i guess its unlocked now, no clue how to check if it is unlocked. But I am wondering since I have never done any of the old root methods and work arounds for the S3 before, and I am doing it new way from Adam's Casual, will your rom work just fine as put it on sd and flash it from recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Wiped data/cache/dalvik, flashed 1.1 but it still says 1.0 in About Device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yes, this version of the ROM will flash irrelevant of being unlocked or not.

Damn it all, another typo! I did this on the Nex7 ROM too!

I will post a patch in just a second

Damn Im getting old!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok, I posted the fix for the stupid build number being wrong in post #2.

I may be old but I am still fast ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nyjumpman:
Check the MD5 to make sure your download is correct and make sure you are using EZ Unlocker 1.2 (or 1.4 if you insist) to unlock your bootloader

1.3 was defective

wireless charging

is there any way to turn off the pop up saying your device is now charging wirelessly? im using inductive charging and when the battery is full.. this notification pop up shows itself about every 10 seconds.. its driving me batty... i was using AOKP and it didnt do it... but wanted to check out this rom. i'd really like to be able to turn that off. so i dont need to switch back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
This is because that is something that we would not disable as most don't use wireless charge and those that want close to stock would want the notification. Apparently multiple alerts is a safety feature that should be able to be disabled by anyone that is willing to look for it in system. It does not alert in AOKP cause it supports wireless charging by default but the notifications have not been ported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good thing you knew that because I didnt!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
Pretty sure I know the answer however...since I use poweramp as opposed to the default music player....can I remove the default player without any issues? (whether it be through adb or titanium freeze)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
The thing is that there has not been a single ROM created for ANY android phone that works 100% the same way for every phone. You can get a feel for the ROM from the forums but the final step is going to be to try it out on YOUR phone to see how well it does. Just nandroid your current ROM and if you don't like it then restore.

Synergy is a great ROM overall but it depends on which daily you are on. CleanROM is very solid and very well done. Only issue I have are ones that I've had with other ROM's (and IMHO isn't ROM based), that for whatever reasons sometimes even a full wipe seems to not leave a blank state and whatever ROM/Nandroid you flash back will be unstable. The fact that this seems to happen with nandroid restores (very rarely) also points me that way. My HTC phones don't exhibit this type of behavior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Had an update for Apex launcher today and after i downloaded the update, apex launcher would freeze and i would constantly have to close it. I have since reverted back to the previous build for Apex but am curious if anyone has ran into this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Apex update is bad. There are lots of people with force closes on the new update. I had to revert back to an older install to get it to work. Nothing wrong with the Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawiseguy77:
Yeah man its apex fault update borked mine too. Im on stock rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
For those of you that may have uninstalled touchwiz and only had apex as your launcher and fear you're borked....do this:

1. go here https://play.google.com/store on a computer and sign in with your google account that is used on your phone

2. search for nova, or any other home launcher

3. click install...it should ask what device you wish to install it on...select your phone

4. wait for it to install (eh safely wait 5 minutes(

5. now run the home launcher you just installed from the download notification

6. use your phone like before with a different launcher

your apex settings should not be changed by doing this so once an update that WORKS comes out...you can revert back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Thanks for the heads up guys. One last question for now, anyone else use the weather on lock screen option? If so, is yours working? Mine was working fine on synergy r73.

I use it and it's working fine, though the first time I installed this ROM I forgot to select the AccuWeather app option in the Aroma Installer and it didn't work. I reinstalled and made sure to select that app during installation and then it worked fine.

Did you select the AccuWeather app in the Aroma Installer?

I'm wondering if the screen is staying on during phone calls...if that's not the case, I'd venture that it's a bad battery. I have been on a 2-hour phone call and used more screen time still had more life than that left after 7 or 8 hours.

Contacts Mess

I chose not to install Verizon Backup Assistant and discovered that Google only backed up the google contacts (duh) and not my Verizon ones with all my phone info. I tried going to Verizon website to get them but all I get is a blank page, so I may have somehow torched them off Verizon.

I did complete Nandroid and TB backups before flashing this rom and wondering the best way to get my contacts back. So far, all I can imagine is doing a nandoid to backup my current cleanrom setup, restore my stock nandorid, export contacts to vcf (presuming there is an option to do this), then restore the cleanrom nandorid backup and import the contacts.

Will the above plan work?

Is there a better or simpler way?
