[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
It will still take the OTA fine but unless you lock the bootloader, Odin does not relock it. Adam specifically said when the exploit was released to not take an OTA or you could end up with a brick or locked out for good. I think that I will take his advice. This update may work fine but who knows with the next one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rwc95:
Yeah I wouldn't of done it without relocking but I read that it was working fine on this update

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
Can I overclock on this Rom? Thought on 2.1 was like system tune for overclock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
No, with the Stock Samsung Kernel on CR 2.5 you CANNOT overclock. As soon as the VRALG7 source code is released, Scott will cook up his CleanKERNEL to work with this new VRALG7 base. I've seen a few posts of people using other custom kernels on this new base, but I will wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adclem:
That is what I figured was causing that. Once I unlocked the boot loader it went away. But on Synergy in about phone it shows unknown and with Clean ROM it shows modified.

Is the Touchwiz Calendar widget not included with 1.2 or do I need to select something specific in Aroma?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII running CleanROM 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, they are really getting stupid with all this root checking and locked bootloader stuff. Kinda sickening TBH. But its all and its all fixable.

With HTC I knew exactly what files to zero in on. No problem though! I will get the root chekcer thing resolved asap. And as faras the OTA I am sure you saw previsous post. Damn Verizon, I swear!

Yep, Eschelon gave me some tips and I examined some sprint roms and saw how they may be doing it it so no worries. Version 1.x builds will go thgrough lots of changes real fast. Its all good!

Should be! Loot me take a look!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Nope, looks like the calendar APP is there but not the actuall Calander. I may mis-located it in the scripts. No biggie. Antoher patch tonight :o

Flash the stock img in recovery or does it have to be Odin? I unlocked before you last night FYI haha I felt special knowing I beat you to it by like ten minutes

Oh and you beat me to unlock? Phewwwwy!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Awesome work on this bro and thanks for all you for letting me use your work I'm my rom, anything I can do to help just ask but I'm sure you know what your doing lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
And what two programs is it? We know now the programs to block for blocking ota but not root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
It's a spyware root checker (not a root blocker). "SysScope.apk" and "libcordon.so" if my memory serves me correctly...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
after unlocking bootloader ....if i am already running ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0 from ez recovery if there any need to change recovery before flashing the next version of clean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Its listed about 5 to 10 posts back.

Wow. Thats crazy. I will get that itn the fix too.

I highlyu doubt an OTA or a mass root check will be performed by Verizon before 12 Midnight CST, lol

Nah, prolly not but I hard CWM doesnt work well with Aroma. I HIGHLY encouragte you to use a modern Recxovery liuke twrp. You can download Gooo Manager beta in Market and it will install it for you. I HIGHLY encourage you use that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
This is a constant issue for me. Try disabling the google location services in settings. I think it may be from an app trying to get location, and it's just reporting the Maps service, but I haven't been able to find an actual cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
I've been running cleamrom 2.5 for a couple days and it seems choppier and slower at times. Probably because i did not take the ota update, but flashed from stock rooted. I restored back to 2.1 and it's smoother and more responsive. I'll do the ota update when i get the chance and try it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
Using imoseyon's v10 kernel and it's fine so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I thought I was the only one. 2.5 was choppier for me as well and I actually did odin back to stock and took the ota.

I flashed CleanROM Ultra Lite edition instead which is running much better for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cjoc:
Has anyone gotten all share play to work on this Rom? I have tried clearing data and cache but i keep getting the same message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
If I get time. I just donbt have it. Weekend is up and I did nto find out about leak until late last night. Prolly wont have time. It was nice though!

Thank you!

What Radio?

Damn, that is crazy! Where you on any kernel other than stock?

No, it didint. But taking the OTA does. THen you use regular tools to re-lock.

Yeah, I tried it and works fine. Your results may vary.

Its going to be a bit slower than 2.1. That is fact. 2.1 had my own special sauce kernel. UNtill Sammy releases the source code for the kernel I cant do much about that :crying: I have optimized it as best I can with what we have.

We need to start bithcing at samsung so inca get my Kernel back damn it! :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ahhh, I may know what is causing that. I took out the Samsung account app thinking it was bloat because it doesnt show up. On other carrier variants the app actually shows up and does things, lol.

Guess it does things on this one too. Maybe someone can post it from the stock root I created? If not I will look at it later tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doeboy711:
Has anyone got WiFi Tether to work on 2.5. Its stopps every time I try and load it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mzimand:
Works for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Me too. Rom has been flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I'm not saying it is slow at all. Runs great. But without a kernel like CR 2.1 had the ROM cannot live up to full potential :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roborob1969:
+1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mike3.14159:
Flashed 2.1 the day before 2.5 came out so I'm running the kernel from 2.1. Do I need to flash back to stock, so I get back onto the stock kernel, then flash 2.5 or can I flash 2.5 right over 2.1??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipple31:
Obviously a fresh install is preferred...but you can dirty flash since the ROM does include a stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Im saying it has a better kernel. CleanKERNEL is more energy efficient and utilizes the hardware better. The 2.5 ROM itself is better but limited without the added beneifit of my custom kernel. Although... I hard others have had luck using custom kernels, other than CleanKERNEL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
Flashed IMO V.10 and it has helped with the smoothness of the ROM...running at 1.9 max and 384 min...still not as smooth as 2.1 with CleanKernel but is an improvement
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
So wait, you *can* run other kernels on this ROM...????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Dang, was under the impression problems would occur. Lean kernel here I come!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
I didn't think it would work either but saw someone posted that they were using it so I figured why not give it a try...running great so far...still not as good as CleanKernel but will work for now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Well thanks dude! I doubt anything will ever match CK except for the next CK :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
No Prob man...too early to tell on battery performance since I just flashed everything today...coming from JB...noticed Android System is very high but will give it a day or two to see if it calms down...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Secretwar1:
Just a note for those of you thinking about runnimg lean or any other 3rd party kernel.. I noted a significant amount of wifi weirdness and drops whilst running 2.5 and lean kernel .10. Dirty flashing rom and restoring stock kernel fixed it.. And ive been getting right around four hours screen time with about .25 percent / hour drain on stock kernel with no lagginess, so i have trouble seeing why youd need a new kernel on this version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
I'm getting the same weirdness too actually...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
I've been sticking with 2.1 with the custom kernel. I don't see what's so great about what's been added. I still try JB Roms of course. But 2.1 with Scott's custom kernel has the best benchmarks on the S3. Sometimes newer is not better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok, you CAN run other Kernels but its HIGHLY discouraged. See reports above. Secondly, my own kernel from Samsung source doesnt work so I dont see how other kernrels can but on the same note those Dev's know a lot more about kernels then I do. CleanKERNEL 1.0 for the SGS3 was my very first and you see how long its been out, lol...

Also, This G7 base is a lot differnt than the G1 base. Thats why I had to rebuild every single mod for this ROM. The kernels are bound to differ or something will go wrong at some point. (Maybe not).

Also, if you do flash another kernel dont bother posting bug reports until you flash back to stock and wipe all data and start fresh. As you can see above people ar ehaving issues with other kernels... Which is why I said dont flash anything other than stock.

Lastly, I do think the G7 base is better, I also think the HD base is even better...

But you wont realize the changes until the kernel comes to life. I cant do anything about that until Samsung gets it together.

Just sayin....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
I personally like your CleanROM's Scott back when you was on the Rezound and now on my girls GS3. Great job to you sir, I do want to ask if you plan to make a CleanROM from the VRALHD build? Flashed your stock de-odexed one but still liked the performance from 2.1 and my girlfriend loved the battery life. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You like the kernel. Trust me... The ROMS are all good. Its the kernel that makes a differnce.

I may update to HD but not sure yet. Its a lot of work to do that for every build...

BUT... If the G7 kernel works on the HD Build I prolly will because that means a custom G7 Kernel will work on the HD build... So we could mix and match.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtropineNa:
I understand native tether works... but is it safe to use google wireless tether app from playstore on this rom/kernel combo? thanks and sorry to bother
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, should be fine. I like that app better than the native tether TBH. Make sure you set it up properly and it works great!

battery life vs 2.1

For those of you guys that went from 2.1 to 2.5, which one do you feel gave you the best battery life? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
2.5 seems better to me. Nothing scientific to back it up, just my observations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
Thats why I said "feel". I know this is very much affected by the placibo effect of flashing something new, etc. Thanks for your feedback though. Trying to decide if I want to stay on 2.1 or going to 2.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] homephysician:
I can say that 2.5 isn't as smooth as 2.1 but it has better connectivity and awesome Batt life. 4.5 hours screen on.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------

Also am on th hd radio now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Some of that smoothness may be due to the fact that the Samsung Kernel is using the default clocks 384/1512, whereas the CleanKERNEL in 2.1 was highly over clockable. But personally, I find them equally smooth at the same default clock speeds (I've never overclocked). This is all subjective to "feel" as there is no benchmark that can measure smoothness. ;)

On a side note, after having great success with the HD Modem, I've decided to give the HD Kernel a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
Great point Guyd, probably most people on 2.1 were running at 1.9 mhz which would also affect battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
Also, whats your case and/screen protector set up, just out of curiosity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I did a dirty flash from 2.1 to 2.5, and also went from stock to g7 to hd radios, and don't have any issues.

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

It's hard to say yet as I just flashed 2.5 yesterday but it has been just fine. I also was using CleanKernel on 2.1 with 1500/192 max/min.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm going to be in the minority here and this is no disrespect to anyone. Just my findings.

I don't buy into it just being the custom kernel that made 2.1 smoother. The reason why I say this is because last night I flashed the stock rooted G7 odexed ROM that Scott posted a while back because I remember having amazing battery life for me. And it has been smoother than 2.5 for me.

Now I don't have any idea why, but it's definitely what I'm experiencing. Take it for what it's worth. I would be curious for someone else to try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
While my expertise is somewhat lacking when it actually comes to development...I have a strong belief that even though Android OS handles memory significantly better than most other os', over time the system can and will slow down. Remember your smartphone is essentially a mini computer. If you leave your windows machine running indefinately, install programs updates and what have you without rebooting...I'm sure you'll notice that your computer slows down as well. Most of us (short of rom crackflashers) leave our phones on and do NOT reboot. Simply a reboot can usually resolve a lot of the slowness of the phone. Also the more programs (predominently widgets) that run in the background you'll notice slow downs as well. Facebook updates, twitter, weather updates, etc etc all add up EVEN if the phone has 2 gigs of ram. Back in my droid eris days simply clearing out the recently called list in the phone app would make the phone work 10 times better (I DO NOT miss that bug). Just some ideas for those complaining about slowness! :)

and if you ever think your phone is slow.....try to do what you're doing on a basic phone that may be zippy and all...but can't do 90% of the things you're currently doing. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
Scott, thank you for a great ROM. I've not used your work before and just loaded CR2.5 last night. I'm running very stable and quick, and have all the items I like about the stock FW. I'll be ponying up for a beer or two once my PayPal account gets cleared.

Thanks again! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] projectD:
Weird. Like I checked my phone sync this morning and the last time it synced was 11:39 pm the night before. So it didn't sync all night until I forced it at 7am
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
I appreciate the post but unfortunately none of this applies to me. I reboot my phone at least once per day (for various reasons) and I always set up my screens and settings the same exact way so I know it's always an apples to apples comparison when I install new roms.

This is just what I have noticed. The stock rooted G7 odexed rom with no added enhancements is running better than 2.5. For me at least, I can't speak for anyone else. Just home screen scrolling alone has confirmed this for me.

And again, this is nothing against Scott or a shot at him. I have pretty much exclusively been running stuff that he has laid his hands on and will continue to. I get the best battery life to performance ratio with his stuff. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
Question:

If I "re-stock" through ODIN, take the OTA, re-root to get all the base up through G7, re-flash 2.5, then flash my recovery from today in order to get the phone set back up how I have it will it erase all the work I just performed to get those OTA base files?

Currently I have:

CR 2.5

Baseband G7

Build number G7

I just flashed the G7 raidos in with a dirty flash of 2.5 over 2.1

OR

Will the Apex restore of the desktop feature do what I am looking for after I re-root and reflash 2.5?

My signal strength is slightly better, and my DL speed is slightly better with the HD Radio. I think it's a keeper.

I just installed the HD Kernel this morning on CR 2.5, so I need some more runtime to see how it does.

I had to make a flashable package of the HD Kernel myself, since I have not seen it posted anywhere.

You can use Kindacrap mods. It has not been updated to work with LG7 but seems to work fine as long as you don't select the framework option in the Aroma installer. If you select the framework you will get stuck on boot and have to restore the backup that kindacrap makes before install. I am running CleanROM 2.5 and I have used it and deleted AM/PM, deleted the battery icon, changed the data arrows to htc, and changed the color of data, clock and signal to ics blue but YMMV.
