I don't think freezing the gallery app is an acceptable fix, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
thats what I thought. So then why would you freeze it? seems a bit extreme for a resolution. Not sure why my gallery is so high either, but I still need access to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
I froze it because I use Quick Pic instead of gallery , so therefore I do not need gallery

What's a good way to find out what app is being a rogue app becuase my phone isn't sleeping much and it's draining my battery. I did a super clean install wiped cache, delvik, even sd card. I have exchange setup for work and have it set to check mail every 15 mins but I don't think that's it. Frustrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
taking out my sd-card fixed it for me, I also went back to ICS OTA modem/rpm

Tried a few different ROM's out lately, and now I'm back here - installed 5.5.1 last night and it's incredible. Stunning. No ROM is as fast, smooth, and stable as this one! Excellent work and thank you!

I know there were a couple others that said they couldn't find picasa as an option. Go to settings/accounts-google/tap on your Gmail account and there are several sync options, picasa web sync being one of them.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
There are links in the OP for both the modem and RPM. Are they no longer recommended?

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Before taking the plunge into my first custom ROM on the S3 I have a couple of questions (probably asked already, but 928 pages is a lot of posts!).

Coming from the DInc there were a lot of kernels, but I don't see that many for the S3. Is stock the way to go?

I plan on flashing the radio in the OP, but I'm not sure about the RPM. I have read the RPM helps and that it doesn't do anything. I'm leaning towards not flashing it.

I rooted and unlocked a few days ago (the day the JB OTA was released). I deferred it once, then I deferred the installation after it downloaded. Just curious would flashing after the OTA installs, if it happens when I'm not looking (or if I decide to wait until ver6 is released), still the same process?

Seems like CleanROM gets a lot of rave reviews, and everything works from what I have read, so I'm going to start here. I'm not a flashaholic, I tend to stay with a ROM as long as it's stable. Thanks all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
I had come from SlimROM and had already flashed the new modem, so I flashed neither when I started with CleanROM. A few days ago I decided to flash the RPM and it sure seems to me that it had a huge improvement on battery life. I recommend taking both.

Also, regarding kernels, I like the KT747 kernel, underclocked and undervolted. I'm easily getting 18-20 hours of moderate to heavy use. YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
OnceAMatrixMan, I remember you from the DINC forums. S3 is a well supported phone. CleanRom is excellent and works great. There are a number of kernel options. I have used both KT and LK, both allow OC'ing, undervolting and USB fast charging. They are both excellent kernels, providing a variety of governors, great performance and battery life. Enjoy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
I flashed the test patch and still have screen flickering in sms app (running SwiftKey 3) . I did do dirty install, just wiped cache and dalvik.

I have never had the battery percentage problem.

Just fyi Scott! Thanks.

---------------------
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
Thanks jlokos! I will have to take a closer look for the kernels I guess - I only saw 3 in rootzwiki, so I assumed that stock was good enough. I've been on the S3 since VZW announced it was going to end unlimited data plans for discounted phones, so I preordered. Great phone, and you're right amazing development.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lohp75:
Did Scott say he would Prolly put out a 5.6 over the weekend. Cuz I'm gonna have to go back to using 5.0 unfortunately. I leave my phone on the charger all night and use it as my alarm. 3 times this week it has froze up sometime during the night and the alarm not worky, not cool. My phone must be one of the crappies from the assembly line. :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
Scott, I found a bug. I was on a call tonight and someone was calling in on the other line. I never switched over to answer it. It showed missed call in the notification bar but the person I was still talking to was not showing on my screen it changed all the info(pic/phone) to the other person. So it was not showing the person I was talking to but the person I missed the call from...

Hope that's not too confusing. Its not a huge issue but thought I'd let you know.

Edit: fyi - I'm on 5.5.2. Wiped all 3 prior to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
Scott,

Thread recommendation addition.

Can we add a "what we learned recap" in one of the post on the first page? Maybe a notes section?

After 900+ pages it's getting pretty hard to go back and find stuff. I have even been following since 2.5 and I know there's people here since the start.

We could throw in stuff such as Kernel info, gsiff_daemon file info....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:

What is "customer.xml" used for? Should I back it up before I delete it? Can I do this on a non rooted phone?

By the way love the rom Scott coming from DroidX Wizards MIUI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adm746:
upgrade?

Im on CR 5.0 and ive been experiencing a few issues, namely Lag, Hotboots, and a weird "tiling" effect. The lag is especially apparent when typing. The "tiling" usually occurs when i pull down the status bar. A small portion of the screen is replicated or "tiled" across the entire screen. Is this similar to the flicker Ive read about on this thread? These effects have only started recently, before the rom was quite stable.

My question are... will upgrading to 5.5 help these problems? I opted for apex, would using TW help?

For those interested, this was a clean install. I always go odin stock then install roms. No TB backup, all apps from play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Long time no posting here :silly: but lets get to the helping.

That customer.xml file is nothing you will miss lol. If you're worried about it though, just rename it to .bak. that way its still there to comfort you, but :fingers-crossed: you will have your bubbles back :good::highfive: and also dont forget to reboot afterwards for it to take effect. :good:

And no, you can not do this on a non rooted phone since it requires going into the systems folder which you need su permissions for.

Also I cant stress this enough, since this requires you to mount the system as R/W, DO NOT FORGET TO SWITCH IT BACK TO R/O. I know it seems silly to say but some people forget then reboot and you just make your life a bit harder if you do that lol.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Hmmm if it started recently maybe its hardware related? But that's a worst case scenario as I always say. I will say go for the upgrade to 5.5.1. You won't be disappointed. It's smooth and relatively bug free. Best ROM I ever used IMO and I have used a lot of different ROMs lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevant69:
Thanks for the help. My wifes phone not rooted and she's misses the notification bubbles after she took the update. I will be making her jealous tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Well doing speed tests of my own, this is true, but there is another bit of info that might surprise you... its actually well known, in speed tests, the iPhone 5 will win, but when actually downloading something, the S3 actually wins. So a better test would be to actually download the same app from the Play Store and iTunes. But I like the fact my S3 will download things faster in real life situations.:D SO you decide which is more useful :silly::victory::D

P.S. I like the iPhone 5 great phone and owned one day one before giving it to my brother after testing it out and going with the S3 :D

P.S.S I actually held off on getting the S3 for months to see what I thought of the iPhone 5 and was just like "Meh" lol. My exact reaction BTW

for now I think stock is recommended...I could be wrong. I haven't had any issues doing it this way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anonimac:
No Service, screen on/off, no background wallpaper, no button(s) response

I've been loving my 5.0 for weeks, no issues, very stable, love it, etc...

Switched to 5.5.1 a few days ago (factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, all three times...been doing this since OG Droid days so i think i'm doing it right and thoroughly)...

I'm having a strange issue that i'm not sure i've read anyone else is having. It is basically this:

After a reboot (planned), the phone keeps cycling between screen off, screen on, even when screen is off the buttons are lit up, No Service message on screen when screen is on, generic solid color background for lock screen (not my chosen background), no way to disrupt cycle...buttons don't do anything, swipe to unlock does not work (screen is not taking any input), power button also unresponsive...only solution is battery pull. :mad:

I had this happen with dirty upgrade to 5.5.1 (from 5.0) as well as completely clean install of 5.5.1. I couldn't figure it out so I restored back to 5.0 backup and, of course, all is well again. :confused:

I'm also on the latest K3 Modem and RPM.

Has anyone seen behavior like this? Is it a known bug with 5.5.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
No this is not a known bug. Sounds like you might have a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:

Try flashing the patch Scott put out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Dirty flash = quick rom jumping

But dirty flash could = buggy rom

I dirty flash like there's no tomorrow to test stuff out. Occasionally I'll do the full clean wipe and load everything manually.

Speaking of wiping, anyone use the Mobile Odin app? Tried it last night to flash the the stock Image and is pretty slick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lohp75:
I too had similar issues after jumping to 5.5.1 even with the 5.5.2 patch. I had to go back to 5.0 for stability for now. I think Scott said he was going to put out a 5.6 over the weekend because when building 5.5.1 he tweaked it like the Sam Note 2 and it's a quad core device so 5.5 1 is a little too aggressive for a lot of the sgs3's Cuz no 2 are alike.

And I clean flash every new base build.

I really think lean kernel should be a standard in this rom. I have had great success with it and no hot boots like I did with stock clean rom 5.0.

My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
The next time this happens, keep the notification drawer pulled down and turn your phone so that it's in landscape mode, watch the icons change, and then turn it back to normal (verticle) again.

I don't know what exactly causes it, but this little trick fixes it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mark-in-dallas:
SOund like you didn't unlock the bootloader? If that's the case, you'll need to Oden back to a stock release, then unlock the bootloader before trying again.
