The stock kernel was dated from August.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
Just FYI. I would not recommend doing the above procedure. Either I did something wrong or something happened to my recovery files. This process caused me nothing but headaches today!

It did not work. I had to return to stock and re-flash 2.5 , several times. Finally all back up and running with all the OTA files included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Kindacrapmods have been updated:D

iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, not at all. Working perfect for me.

Stock unrooted LF1. :angel:

Nah, I have my own ROM, I dont run any of the one I post to XDA other than to test. If I had to explain it I would would explain it like this....

HD base... Set up Like ULE edition minus the additional Samsung widgets and what not, Add my won widgets and stock launcher and all my own apps.

In other words its just a custom, super stripped, ultra mega stripped HD ROM with all my own apps that I use.

Zagg Invishield HD Screen protector and I HAD a nice Incipio two peice case but I freakin cracked!!! Yeah, the case CRACKED! So now I am going with the Samsung OEM case that is a flip cover its $40.00 on Samsung.com but my boss has a 50% coupon and is ordering things for his Note so he is throwing in the case and I will just pay him the cash.

WEhat you see is what you see. What works for you is what works for you. I dont doubt yoru claim one bit.

You need to understand this... EVERYONE uses the phone differntly and has difernt perceptions and expectations. This is why I have an archive section on my website. Not everyone will see the advantage to the latest and greatest ROM I build.

I have no doubt what so ever that 2.1 is smoother... for you. None at all. I beleive and respect everything you say.

But let me tell you this... Compare stock root to stock root, apples to apples. And then tell me what is differnt.

Also, if you do, compare the HD ROM. I need more feedback on that... I am thinking of rebuilding tonight....

Awesome. IM broke and need every penny I can get! Times can be rough every now and then.

Yeah, modify the SystemUI.APK.

No, hate Apple for suing them. Dont hate the players hate the game!

No, I was going to ask some people to test it. I want to rebuild on HD.... But I also want to know if the kernels can be swapped. If they can then I might rebuild on HD because the G7 kernel will come out first and I can continue with CleanKERNEL and use the HD base if they work together. Make sense?

****en Ehh!

I dont know... I want people to test it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] projectD:
this is fustrating, i also can't find google talk in the marketplace, or any of the my verizon apps

i wonder if I did something with the phone, i d/led the G7 stock rom, relocked the bootloader, flashed back to the G7 stock rom, got the OTA, Rooted, then installed CR2.5.

Main complaint now is my gmail accounts aren't pushing the notifications

i don't get email notified at all, only on CR2.5 that i see this issue, maybe imma try going back to CR2.1 and the old stock firmware and see if this fixes it.

Tried googling this issue and tried everything everyone said, clear gmail data/force stop.

even tried redoing CR again without gmail installed, so i can install it from the marketplace.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey Scott, I totally agree with you. We all have different needs and set up our phones differently. Thanks for understanding and putting out kick ass roms!

It's funny you ask because I have run everything you have put out for this phone, more recently stock rooted odex G7 and currently stock rooted odex HD. To be honest, they are pretty similar but the HD radio has been better for me. Seems as if G7 was a tad smoother but it's negligible. Battery has been excellent on both. HD might actually have the edge.

I would love to see you rebase your rom(s) with HD! Especially the Ultra Lite edition! Hopefully this was helpful and I will be donating soon. It's been long overdue! :thumbup:

I like your work

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Did I miss the selection at install or was brightness bar not included with the latest release?

I guess it goes alongside the battery percentage?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
I was going to flash the mod but reading the OP I noticed something kind of distrubing: the mod is not compatible with TWRP recovery and if you flash it using this instead of CWM your nanodroid backups might not recover!!

What your experience with the mod and recovering your backups in TWRP? I rather have reliable backups than a pretty looking status bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
I use CWM TOUCH.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
so i hadnt been on xda in a few weeks and i see there is new update! just to check, i am currently using cleanrom 2.1, with cleankernel 1.2, modem vrlg1, and i had some dirty tweaks installed too...do i need to do any thing before i can install v2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just do all of your wipes, flash 2.5 and flash either the G7 or HD radio. Don't flash a custom kernel as this base doesn't seem to play well with them yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtropineNa:
just flashed 2.5... is everyone using the kernel packaged in the rom? or are you flashing clearKERNEL 1.2 separately? thxxx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Don't flash CleanKERNEL. You will mess things up.

Just use the kernel that automatically flashes with the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Hmmm... i'm thinking a good fund raiser would be Gold level donators (whatever) get access to the Scrosler Special : ) sign me up for two!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Yea, I think everyone who uses your ROM should donate. I think you're one of the best and most interesting devs on the S3. I hope you have the time and resources to continue your work here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
G7 or HD radio is not needed to run 2.5. That is personal preference if you want to update your radio...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Your welcome :) I've been running the HD Kernel on CR 2.5 for about 24 Hours without issue. So far, so good!

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

That's it! 3.0.8-1092717 compiled on Sep 7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I know this but I always like to have the radio at least match the build if possible or go a step up. But you're right, just preference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
There are a few of us "testing" the newest Samsung Kernel VRALHD (3.0.8-1092717) on CleanROM 2.5

Absolutley!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arkard1:
Ive been using the HD kernel for about 24 hours, no issues so far. Im also using the HD radio. 2.5 has been working great! Just installed kinda crap mods as well this morning. All is well so far! Great to be able to have a brightness slider back, was the only thing i was missing when i moved to 2.5 from 2.1!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Scott, I also really appreciated your work on the Rezound and wished you still were doing what you do best for that phone, but this wish is for another time! I purchased the S3 as well and higher hopes for this phone than I did for my Nexus, the Nexus i have has turned out to be to big of damn headache more then it was worth(yeah bad radio issue, screen on life, yada, yada, etc.).

Seen your were building fnew Roms for the VZW S3 and I was like yes the man is back in in full swing again, YES!!! Downloaded the CleanRom 2.1 with 1.2 Kernel and ran it somewhat smoothly. I think some of the issues were on my end trying to setup to my style, my liking, you know sort of like you were stating in another post earlier. Seen Kindacrap mods had been updated, so I would give 2.5 a run and see if Lady Luck would be on side a lot better for me this go round. Keeping my fingers crossed and really appreciate the hard work you have put into your Roms there Scott.

I threw a couple dolars donation to you last week and will through so more funds by Friday your way this week. I also know first hand how hard times are, I am right there with most of them. When someone works as hard as you have, the people should show their appreciation for the Rom!

One last peice of information I wanted to ask you directly Scott, I notice over in one of the other threads a member (FauGuy) stated with the HD Rom that particular high OS wakelock may be situated in that current Rom build as well. Was wandering if you have experienced it when you are running the full HD build during your test cycles. Have you noticed the wake lock mentioned by others that you did resolve in CleanKernel 1.2 build.

Thanks Scott:highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
What steps would I need to take to replace the default keyboard and auto-correct from CleanROM with the JB ones from Beans? This morning (before I locked myself out of my phone by forgetting the PIN) I copied the JB keyboard to my phone and I believe I switched to it (I'm still 1/4 asleep, so not entirely sure I did actually switch keyboards) but it seemed to still have the layout of the stock keyboard and possibly using the same auto-correct, though I didn't get a good chance to test the auto-correct as I did manage to lock myself out of my phone. Being that I'm at work and need to have my phone, I quickly did a factory reset and haven't gotten the chance to sit and play with the keyboards again yet. Plus I figured why bother trying to re-invent the wheel when I'm sure someone here has already done this and can give me a quick tip on how to do it.

Thanks.

I'd make a feature request to add the option during install to install the stock or JB keyboard. (Check Beans for a reference to what I mean.) I personally have no real issues with the stock keyboard except that it uses some Samsung devised auto-correct that is horrible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmbfan13:
Why dont you just download the Jellybean keyboard from the Play Store??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cicatrize:
I was having serious battery drain on this ROM coming from 2.1. I did a full wipe clean install and was getting only 12 hours with less than an hour of screen on time. 2.1 was giving me ridiculously high battery life...

I noticed other people were having issues, while some weren't. I noticed I was still on VRLF2, so I updated to the G7 radio last night, and the battery appears to be draining slower today, so that might have fixed it. So to those of you having battery issues, maybe you're still on the old radio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
What the benefit of VRALHD (3.0.8-1092717)? What changes are there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I hate having extra keyboards installed. Doesn't hurt anything really, but just a personal preference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmbfan13:
I know I can use the AOSP MMS apk with this rom, and have emoji support. But is it possible to have emoji support on the TW MMS app? Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I don't understand what you are trying to say or imply with this post. Just freeze or delete the unwanted keyboard(s) AFTER installing and setting default your new keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roborob1969:
I've been using VRALHD since it was made available, on a clean install of 2.5 (back to stock-upgrade-flash)...it's been running rock solid (instant GPS lock, great signal, no drops, etc.), but there was one issue a few days ago here at work...I got a "no sim" warning and lost all connectivity. After about 5 minutes I put the phone in Airplane mode, and back out...it restored the service, and has been running top notch since then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
I came from Synergy Jellybean .2, did a full wipe and installed 2.5. My battery life is brutal too. I'm going to try the G7 radio and see if that helps. What are you battery stats looking like now? I'm thinking 2.1 might be the best bet for me. When I say bad I mean like under 12 hours with 1 or less of screen time. BAD!

I just re-read the post title and it says it's based on G7. What am I missing here guys?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krbernier:
i odined back to stock took the ota. rooted,unlocked and flashed 2.5 then the hd radio. my reception is great and battery life is great also. i have gotten "touchwiz home has stopped responding" a few times but it is usually associated with "the chive" app freezing on me. Other than that its running great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisiwyg:
FWIW... I dirty-flashed 2.5 over 2.1 earlier this morning and began to have pretty bad battery performance. On a hunch, I searched - and found - gsiff_daemon back in there. On 2.1, I had battery problems that seemed to be resolved by renaming this file. I guess 2.5 replaced it. So, I've again renamed it and will see if that makes any difference. I'll do a full wipe and flash some day.... probably will be driven to it for performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Is the keyboard the only thing I need in order to use the Google auto-correct? I didn't get the chance to verify if just changing the keyboard changes the auto-correct, I was under the assumption (that seemed to be confirmed this morning, though being half asleep, not sure if I actually switched keyboards) that I would have to change something else. If auto-correct is part of the keyboard then great! I'll have this fixed up as soon as I get the chance, almost have everything done at work for the day. Handy since the work day is almost over too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
If I'm not mistaken you are referring to something different than in the post you referenced. He is testing the HD kernel, you are speaking of the HD modem/radio. Doesn't make your post any less informative, just wanted to clear that up :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roborob1969:
D'oh! Thanks for pointing that out...that's what I get for being on xda, instead of working... :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cicatrize:
Right now I have 7h 43m on battery, sitting at 81% with 30m of screen on time. Looks like the new radio definitely affected my battery life in a positive way. I noticed my Android System usage went from 50%+ to 5% now as well. I've read other posts about Android System usage being linked to hot booting, but I never do that, and I still had ridiculous usage from that, so I'm not sure, but it appears to be linked to newer ROMs and old radios for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
Haha I got you beat :) 8h8m21s 81% 57m16s screen on time but... screen is 34% w/ android system being @ 32%... I'm still trying to figure out how android works... Gsam Batt shows included packages in android system is NFC Test but I don't even have NFC turned on nor have I ever turned it on (since being on CR2.5), is that something to do with the ROM or just how android works?

[EDIT] BTW I am also on the HD radio and I have already renamed gsiff since I first installed ROM. Android system also has the most wake locks... Does just using your phone cause android system to be high or is that usage caused by other things (ROM related, kernel related, radio related, etc.)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
How do you add VRALHD? Do I have do the full ROM install and then throw 2.5 on top or is there away I can just get the VRALHD zip and flash in CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Taihard can try this a let me know what the first thing appears in upper right corner of your phone. Go into settings-Developer options- scroll down to Show CPU usage-click on to check box. See what is using the most of your CPU usage for now. Well I see you stated that it is not the g-siff dameon since it could be using a large amount of battery causing high wake lock for OS usage. This is what I was trying to ask Scott about earlier on when I asked in my previous post. See if this can tell you anything about your OS usage.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Flash HD modem zip in CWM, should be good to go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
Cool. Thanks for the quick response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
We don't know what changes there are because this version was leaked.

My hope is that some of the battery drain bugs have been worked out.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

You must be reffering to the HD Radio. Some of us are also testing the HD Kernel. I'm running both of them on a clean install of CR 2.5

So far I'm very happy with this combo, but time will tell.

Hey guys, first time user of CleanROM here. Can't figure out how to search on the XDA app, but is it known that USB sound-out doesn't work? Or is there a fix?

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Scott may have pulled all system sounds out of the Rom accept for the ringtone folder, notification folder, and alarm notifications. I believe my statement to be just a hunch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
"System sounds" govern USB sound? Good to know

Sent from my SCH-I535

EDIT: Okay wait, I think there's a bit of confusion. I'm not talking about sounds that chime when the USB is connected or disconnected, I mean playing music throw a car dock's USB port. Is that possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sunNsnow:
I want to know this, too. I did a Google search and came up with a few interesting bits of information:

The S3 does not support USB mass storage. (Not exactly sure what that really means for a car... their interface are proprietary, even if there is a HDD in it, good luck getting to it unless you're a car person.)

USB OTG cable will correct [something that is electrically/electronically configured weirdly in the S3] and make it work with the car radio. I'm not sure if it really works, but this was mentioned.

There's a YouTube video that used S Voice while connected to USB to an after-market car radio. It played music through his car speakers.

That's the gist of what I was able to understand, not being a car technician or an electrical engineer.

So, the issue may not be ROM-related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watoy:
Sorry, if this has been asked before, but can you make a flashable zip for volume seek or if someone already has one share the link? I did xda searches and google searches and found nothing, except dirtytweaks. I flashed it but it gave me bootloop. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
I know this has been covered before but I can not find it in search using the xda app.

I am trying to use All Share on CR2.5 but it fails to sign into Samsung.

Can anyone point me to the fix please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
....Um....

Okay let me explain this. On stock TW or stock-rooted, USB-sound-out plays perfectly fine. With CM10 (my previous ROM) and now with this ROM, it does not work. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if right now, the ROM doesn't support USB-sound-out?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You are not alone! You are among friends here!

Google talk is an option when installing that is checked by default. I have no clue why they done let you download it in the market. Seems really silly... But thats what it is...

Thank you sir!

Thank you too sir! Fund raisers are great things. They allow me to do more with less... Well less out of my already empty pockets and more with Android, lol.

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Good to know about the kernel... Still waiting it for Samsung to release code for the lastest build... Then its play time!

Hope it all works out for you. I Dont normally get the wake lock so its hard for me to reproduce. gfdiff deamon is alleged an issue but I forget what file that is. Sad that we even need to resort to this stuff when Samsung should have got it right to begin with. Even in the HD build they have the power issue screwed up!

Damn it... I keep forgetting to fix that... I will try to post something here in a few minutes...

IM not 100% sure man. I dont have a dock to test with so I am not sure what triggers or does not trigger. If some kind soul were to send me a dock I am sure I could have it figured out for you in a matter of minutes. Untill then I really dont know.

Thanks Jeep!

I answered all the questions not answered by other users... If I missed anything then re-post it.

Thanks to all who have donated recently! I really appreciate it! Thank you very much!

Can't wait for Samsung to release the source code for the kernel. How long do they usually take to release it after an ota?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Good morning all est time, of course! Quick question to any that is flasing the HD radio/kernel, how are going about flashing the 2 items. My way o thinking goes like this:

Backup current Rom/kernel

Flash VRALHD radio in recovery(CWM) my choice of recovery for now!

Reboot into Rom & let radio settle, say like 20 minutes or so, then reboot into recovery

Flash HD Kernel & let settle in for the rest of the day

Or should I backup Rom/kernel

Reboot into recovery & flash one at a time

flash radio & then kernel or flash radio then reboot back into recovery then flash kernel

Not trying to make it complicated for myself, I am just sometimes overly cautious for my own good!:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arkard1:
I flashed the radio and ran it for like a day the went back and flashed the kernel. The only reason I did it this way, as the kernel was not available separately at the time the radio was (at least not to my knowledge). As a side note I also flashed kinda crap mods at the same time I flashed the kernel. No problems so far.
