[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nighthawk34691:
I had the same exact problem the other day myself. Im using CR2.1 and CK 1.2 with KindaCrapMods also installed on top of it and just the other day, I started out with 100% battery, then out of the blue, my battery percentage was dropping like a rock. I used my phone for phone calls a couple of times for just a few mins a piece and that was about it. I noticed I was losing most of my battery while the screen was off in sleep mode.

I have my System Tuner Pro version configured to run both of my cpu cores at 192 Mhz with govenor on powersave while the screen is off, 384 Mhz during a phone call, and 1.51 Ghz any other time. I made sure nothing was running in the background but everything I tried...nothing was stopping my battery drain. By late afternoon, I had 10% battery left when normally I would have over 60% by the same time. That has only happened to me once so far but striked me kinda odd, because I myself couldnt figure out was was draining my batter so fast when nothing was using it. Its been running normal since that happened.. Any idea what may be causing this Scott??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
I've had the rapid random battery drain, but only on CR2.1. Never had it for a month straight on 2.0 then loaded up 2.1 last night with stock Sammy kernel and voila. A reboot solved it, temporarily I'd imagine. Coincidence? Who knows...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Sounds like You, nighthawk34691, and y2jasper, all experienced the gsiff_daemon bug. If you look at the battery graph y2jasper posted, you can see the battery being rapidly drained even while the phone is not being used! (first half of the graph). If you do a full reboot of the phone, it will return back to normal. There are a lot of posts on various forums about this issue, just do a google search for it. One of the kernel dev's claims to have a work-around for the gsiff_daemon bug, and some other wake lock bugs that were in the Samsung kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
I wont, I actually deleted the file and it never happened again. This was a couple of weeks ago. I havent noticed any issues with deleting the file either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dobo84:
So far I've had great battery life with this ROM !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Where did you get the stock kernel from? I can't find a flashable for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cicatrize:
I've been using Bean's ROM For a while, but I've loved scrosler's work since like...WM days, and used his ROMs on my Sprint Android phones. :) So, I tried to give this ROM a shot, and for some reason, Messaging would not open. It would show quickly, and either FC, or just close with no notification. I tried clearing data for Messaging, as well as just a couple reboots. Nothing fixed it. Back on Beans 11 for now. :(

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
It's wild I never encountered it for over a month on 2.0 with stock sammy kernel. I don't think it's 2.1, but rather just a random coincidence

Didn't know you could delete that file thanks :) I'll do some research on it and find out where it is !

Indeed, it's the best of the best of all SGS3 roms!

I used this, I'm pretty sure it is just stock sammy kernel with a few script tweaks (init.d maybe and adb access?) that I wouldn't use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedescop:
Thanks

I just want to say THANK YOU for all your hard work on this ridiculously stable Rom.

I came from having a Gnex running AOKP and getting 8 -9hrs was an complete challenge. With this Rom and your latest kernal I am running easliy 15hrs without even trying to conserve power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mewohkie:
I haven't been able to receive MMS with this. Just clean flashed last night. Cm10 MMS was fine. Beans 11 also no MMS. Any thoughts?

Edit: nvm had to change options in go SMS to allow for up to 5 mb MMs to be received. Was thinking it was an APN issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike420:
Hey is there a way to install the stock android ics key board. Not the one that comes preloaded on the phone but the stock android ics like I had on my g nexus. Best keyboard in world and I need it back please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Install the jellybean one on the market. Same exact thing your talking about.and free
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mzimand:
Check the Google play market under ics keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
Anybody have a mirror for this Rom? I got it to install once, was missing stuff from system apps, tried redown loading and tried 3 different recoveries....it seems to flash fine but it seems like a boot loop

When it starts, won't get past the glowing Sammy logo.

I've let it sit for about 15 mins each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Did you do a clean or dirty flash? If dirty, try clean.

Also, I have flashed this a few times when playing around with different boots and kernels, and I seem to remember it taking like 20 minutes one time and the rest were about 10. I'd give it more time on a clean flash. Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

I had the exact same issue. I used recovery to fix permissions and SMS/MMS now works flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nighthawk34691:
Thanks for the heads up about this. It has only happened to me once so far since I installed 2.1... but a reboot did stop whatever was causing it because it hasnt happened since and hope it wont happen anytime if the for-seeable future. Also hoping Scott can get his bean rom up and running soon...cant wait.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
It's very random, although there were reports of it happening often after a hot boot. You could go for weeks without seeing this bug, and then wham, it will happen twice in one week! Very strange and unpredictable! But the battery graph never lies :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
This does not work well with CleanROM if you have installed Kinda Crap mods or any other mod that affects icons in the notification bar...at least it didn't work well for me. Hung at the boot animation and had to restore from backup.

--update--

By the way never meant to say that the Real Icon Theme was the culprit. It is most likely that I had another theme-type file flashed prior to this one and they are conflicting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cicatrize:
Works great now. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
Always clean, In 3 years I've never dirty flashed....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
i mean im still not sure if it was caused by gsiff, because as i understand it, by renaming the file, (Which i did when i first rotted the phone, it was a major reason why i rooted) it would essentially be the same as deleting it, since the name is something else. but after charging to 100% and recalibrating the battery again (any side effects from doing that often?) ive had a pretty good day, back to barely using power when the screen is off. i added another plethora of screenshots, partially because i was wondering if it was normal for those apps to wake my phone so much. i find it kinda ironic that juicedefender (which i downloaded last night) is one of the biggest contributors to waking my phone. also i learned that literally moving my phone from one bedstand to the other is enough of a change to make my network strength go from green to yellow (first half of the graph was while i was sleeping, then waking up and moving the bed from one side to the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Wow, next time that happens try to take a pic. That sounds funky!

Glad to hear it!

No mirrors. Thousands of downloads and all of them fine. I would Odin back to stock at this point, then unlock again, etc etc etc...

I think something may jst need to be tidied up on your phone. It happens.

-Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
Added the wrong gsam screen capture there, as that was power used and not wakes. Also to add, I had the screen on for like 45 min today and an hour and a half phone call
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You cant tell me its not ironic that juice defender is using the majority of your battery :p

Thats funny, I dont care who you are!

Is CleanKernel 1.2 recommended with this rom? The only difference I saw was that it allows overclocking the cpu and comes with overclocked gpu by default, but I don't plan to oc as the phone is fast enough!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
CleanKERNEL Comes with the ROM. You will need to flash stock kernel if you want over ride that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I flashed Kinda Crap mods and Dirty Tweaks on CR2.1 and it's working great, but I'd like to use the Real Icon Theme as well but after I flash it, I get stuck at the glowing Samsung logo during boot. The only way out of it is to restore from backup. Do I need to "unflash" Kinda Crap/Dirty Tweaks before I can use Real Icon Theme? And if so, how? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Scott, I realize that but I got confused by the changelog -

"Updated kernel to CleanKERNEL 1.1"

So you are saying CleanRom 2.1 includes kernel 1.2? Or should I flash that on top of the rom - that was what I meant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
The phone is showing that I have a voicemail, but I don't. I've rebooted the phone several times and even cleared caches and fixed permissions in recovery, and it still shows I have voicemail. What can I do to get rid of this? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, that means that CleanKERNEL 1.1 comes with the ROM. Prior to 2.1 it was stock kernel.

CleanKERNEL came out a couple days later than the ROM so to have the latest version of CleanKERNEL then you can flash it seperately. But in all honesty, the only changes I made were not very big. Mostly to address the issues that some people had who could not over clock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dswann:
Scott, where are the wallpapers for cleanrom stored?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
The default wallpaper is in framework-res.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
Weird thing is, I can flash anything else I want....flash aokp, synergy ics, back to jb then try and flash clean rom and nothing, I can then three finger back to recovery as this rom just boots and boots and boots, and flash anything else and it takes without issue.

Sucks, the one time I did get it to take it felt really really smooth. I want to run it bad lol....I might Odin back and retry. But in guessing it won't do anything..before that I'm going to try and flash it one more time, and give it longer than 15-20 mins to boot, just seems like way too long, esp the one time it worked it booted in 5 or so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
The first boot on this ROM is less than 1 minute. It should never take that long. I got one last idea....

Wipe data, flash ROM, then flash this kernel BERFORE boot: http://www.scottsroms.com/showthrea...2-V3-**-Unsecured**-VRALG1-kernel-with-init-d

So verify MD5 of ROM, flash it then flash the stock kernel before booting. Thats the only other suggestion I have before a full Odin back to stock. Maybe something in CleanKERNEL is not playing well with your device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
I have a couple of questions:

1) Will this ROM be eventually updated to reflect the latest update - I535VRLG7?

2) I current am on the latest stock version - VRLG7. Can I install this ROM which is based on the prior version without any issues?

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
hey scott just checking back with you. thanks again for your help and patience with the battery life. I think it just needed some time to settle. getting a full day of use (5am-9/10pm) and putting back on charger before going to sleep with 45-50% left. thank goodness, because I love this Rom. Much thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
When you say you're "currently on the latest stock version..."...are talking about the radios or an entire G7 ROM? If you mean an entire ROM, where did you get it? Thanks.

By the way, to answer your question...you can flash this ROM over top of what you're running as long as your bootloader is unlocked. If not, then you'd need to unlock first with the EZ Unlock tool in the Market (which is free). I'd recommend wiping data/cache/dalvik before flashing since you're "downgrading."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
1. Eventually.

2. Dont know. ROM was out before the lastest OTA so its hard to say. Can you unlock the bootloader on the latest OTA? Thats the only reason I have not updated. Fee of loosing unlocked bootloader.

Ahhhhh! Finally! Thats good battery life right there! Glad it finally worked out.

Just one more issue to figure out and that it the guy who cant boot. Thats an odd one!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
I flashed the ROM tonight over the full OTA update. The EZ-Unlock app still does work with the OTA. Not having run CleanROM before tonight, I am not sure if I can compare performance, but I have had several data signal drops and the phone get pretty hot a couple of times. I don't know if this could be caused by the OTA playing with the ROM or not.

But, CleanROM is super smooth. Only other "problems" I have found so far has been the lack of NFL Mobile and WatchESPN. (I tried looking for the VZWloginblahblahblah.apk, but it isn't on here.)

Thanks for the great ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vladimirtm:
same here i try everything to install this rom and i just cant!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The only thing kept after you installed the rom is the modem (baseband). Give the phone a day or so and see how your performance is over that period.

Its available in the Play Store not this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
What is easy unlock? I used Adam Oulanders "Casual"

Will casual work with the new OTA? If so I am rebuilding tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Hallelujah!!!!!!!! (love this rom)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Dont get too excited... We dont know if it will work. I want someone with more than 2K in posts and 200 Thanks to confirm this, lol

I am not locking my stuff down only to find I am screwed and cant flash my own kernel!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Can't get enough of this ROM! Besides a possible rebase is anything else new and exciting happening? Not that it isn't amazing in its current state...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
EZ-Unlock from the play store. I believe it essentially does the same thing as Casual.

If you rebuild with the new baseband that will be awesome! I will wait for it since I haven't rooted yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Absolutely take me wiyh a grain of salt!!! This is my first real dive into flashing ROMs. I used this tonight (I believe it is Casual) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=ez-unlock

And my screen.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
EZ Unlock is the bootloader unlock app that you download if "Casual" will not work for you. It's ridiculously simple haha just download the app and press unlock, poof you're unlocked. "Casual" wouldn't work for me to unlock my bootloader (Windows) so I waited a day or so and someone created a thread for that app.

I've seen in various threads that people have been able to root/unlock after the latest update but it's too spread out for me to find exact posts on whether they used Odin back to older firmware or used the existing root tools to re-root/re-unlock.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

No my friend, this is Adam Outler's "Casual" however EZ Unlock does the same thing only quicker if you're just trying to unlock your bootloader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I'm sure someone will confirm, but the only thing worth taking from the OTA is the new baseband modem, and that can't affect a rom or kernel AFAIK.

More interested in any updates you might have, e.g. A few pages back you mentioned there's still some bloat that can be removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I was JUST having the same issue. Actually I've been having it all evening, but I didn't put two and two together to realize I was having the same issue as you because I was able to restore a backup of CleanROM 2.1 and successfully boot. One quick question...when you flashed CleanROM 2.1 and went through the steps in Aroma and clicked Next on the last step, how long did it actually take to flash the ROM? Mine was taking about 6 seconds, and then would not boot. Here's what finally worked, in this exact order, with no rebooting until the final boot after ROM flash...

1. Verify MD5's and put CleanKernel 1.2 and CleanROM 2.1 on the root of your SD card.

2. Boot to recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions.

3. Flash CleanKernel 1.2, then wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions again.

4. Flash CleanROM 2.1. It should take at least 1.5 to 2 minutes to flash.

5. Reboot, and hopefully, profit.

From what I can tell, at least for me, if I flashed CleanROM 2.1 with anything other than CleanKernel 2.1 already in place (including any remnants of any other kernel, which is why wiping the caches and fixing permissions between the kernel and ROM flash is important), the ROM didn't want to flash correctly. Once I got CleanKernel 2.1 on there and had removed any hint of anything else, it flashed properly and I was able to boot. This was a dirty flash too, by the way, but I'd wipe data if I were you as well. I really hope this helps you out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeypunch35:
Thanks for the info and correction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRaptor29:
Download it from the market. Then it should work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
That is weird. Doing it in this order means you end up with CleanKernel 1.1 that comes with the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dswann:
Yeah getting great battery life, nearly 3 hours of screen time, cpu max at 1.5

First day after a clean flash from cm10 the battery life was poor so it does take a little time for the kernel/rom to settle in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Agreed, it is wierd, but I tried every combination of kernels and processes possible and that is the process that finally worked. Maybe flashing a version of the CleanKernel (that we KNOW the ROM has no issues with) and then wiping caches and fixing permissions removes something that was causing an issue, I don't know...I'm not a dev...but I am a great tester! lol...just trying to help out as I know how frustrating it is to have a $600 piece of beautiful hardware laying on your desk that won't do anything...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Nah, Not really. Same ole same ole.... I like it the way it is. Im happy with it. Still want to do a Dev Edition theme and work on the kernel some more.

So you took the OTA then you unlocked the bootloader? Or did you just flash the radio?

So you heard it and he has a screenshot of it... I might try it then. I sure wish we could get out hands on the complete Odin package. This woudl be sooo much easier!

Actually the baseband and the ROM go hand in hand. Its always best to try to Nah, baseband shouldnt affect a ROM too much other than the typicla low signal and or possible battery drain caused by such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Can anyone tell me if Sammy released the source for this build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
WTF?!?!?!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] idelgado782:
Looks like you have to install the tool made by the person who unlocked the bootloader and follow the steps. If you dont have linux or a mac, it says you need to download an additional tool. But i'm sure there are going to be tutorials both vids and written on how to use it step by step. THats what i'm going to wait for. I have a mac that I can actually dual boot into linux into, but I don't want to take the risk of trying it out just yet. THe thread was only updated at 740p tonight! i'm sure within 24 hours theres going to be tons of chatter around it!

Also, i'm also having the same issue with the persistant wifi notification in the pull down. I rebooted and still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I got the tool working. Ran well and unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wifi removal, as I noted earlier, does NOT remove it from the pull down. It only removed the pop up box that occurs. I will work on the pull down for next version.
