A few more words

So, after a couple more days using this firmware plus root and some "S4 stock additions", I have come to conclude that this firmware is very reliable and stable but not battery friendly (did tried battery bin clean-up but nogo!). Here are the things I have installed/noticed:

- Rooted = used CF auto-root v6.4

- S-Health1 = works fine and pairs fine with the Omron scale and bp-monitor devices. (this is not the same version as S4, S4 S-Health2 from S4 system dump does not run at all). Used Nike apps instead for running measurements in distance not in step counts.

- New message app = works as titled

- Polaris Office 5 = got this from Samsung Apps after setting up "ro.product.model=GT-I9500" in /system/build.prop

- S4 Launcher = works great but changing Home Wallpaper disables status bar transparency. The fix is to do a "Clear data" on "TouchWiz Home" but will remove your launcher settings but still workable.

- Samsung Video (ver.1.01.032203.3) = taken from the S4 system dump. Was already a non-odex'd apk. Still requires Video Player.

- Samsung Hub (plus PrismBooks, SamsungLearning from S4 System dump) = everything works but FC's on "Books" and "Games"

- ChatON + Video = works great (installed from Samsung Apps after setting up "ro.product.model=GT-I9500" in /system/build.prop)

- AwesomeNote = works as is but uninstalled due to lack of autobackup to cloud.

- WatchON (Peel.apk+YosemitePHN.apk) = works just fine but useless as you can't use it to control your TV as we don't have an IR in our S3s but can be used for online guide (tried with Dish Network USA).

- S4 GroupPlay = crashes! unusable! I just so stick with the version that came with the firmware.

- Assistive Light Widget = is gone?!

Again and again and again... it still overheats! I found out that it has something to do with the CPU wakes that it wakes too much at 1.4GHz clock rather than the lower ones first. The moment you do even just unlocking the phone, it uses 1.4GHz of cpu clock right away!

I tried different cpu scaling but non of them stops or even lessens the overheat.

The fact that the firmware is fast, stable and smooth, I will continue to use this and report again on any new things... Cheers!
[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
You had that problem because you flashed an old RIL. Use MC2 modem, but do not flash a different RIL.
[Galaxy S III General] Szadzik:
Thanks. I will wipe an flash EMC2 rom and go to 4.2.2 again and see what happens.

EDIT: Funny thing is, I checked RIL after flashing EMC2 and it shows EMB5. Do you guys have the same RIL with EMC2?
[Galaxy S III General] FrancescoS:
dumb question:

is it possible to go back to 4.1.2 without losing datas? i cant backup my sms/contacts/data/apps with MobileGo,after the update it broke :(
[Galaxy S III General] -WP7User-:
Really? Can anyone confirm this?

Because my GS3 gets a bit hotter too since I flashed this FW and therefore consumes a lot more battery.

The battery consumption got better since I'm using Greenify to hibernate Facebook (caused 2500 wakes in about 2 or 3 hours...), but isn't quite as good as on 4.1.2. Now, I get about 28-30 hours with normal usage when I got about 40-48 hours on 4.1.2. But I can live with that ^^ As long as I get through the day I'm as happy as can be =))

Ha.... After wasting my couple of days in I9300XXUFME3 , i switched back my ROM to where i really belong :D:D

CONS of I9300XXUFME3

Samsung UI , Boring, Laggy, Irritating

Battery Horrible even in power Saving Mode

Will getter a better flexibilty and usability(ease of use) and peace of mind in CM10.1 :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] Szadzik:
Yep, reflashed it all from scratch without touching RIL and it is working like a charm. This ROM is pretty good.

[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
Glad I could help.

Nope, nothing like that, and i didn't even wipe. Great battery life, smooth UI and the lag is barely noticeable.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
That's not true. Phone is faster in benchmarks. But laggy on interface. If you consider battery life good when you have about 1 and half hour less then md2 then I cannot say nothing about that... you cannot compare this leak without zram with builds that are fully working like latest 4.1.2. Rom looks good and its promising but just only that...
[Galaxy S III General] Madarox:
After restoring my apps with titanium backup,I can't accept lockscreen settings.The settings app would just FC,tried clearing settings cache but it didn't work.Tried reflashing the ROM(cwm version),no luck.
[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
Of course I can, that's my experience with the firmware. It's not laggy on the UI, especially compared to 4.1.2. And my battery life increased about 1 hour. I couldn't even get 4 hours screen on time before, now i get between 4:20 and 5, which is quite good, and like I said before, I didn't wipe, so I'm running exactly the same applications.

battery on ondemand cpu scale

Battery life=8 hrs from full.

Used the ondemand CPU scaling.

Things I've done for the past 8 hrs:

- Watched youtube via 3G (HSPA+) = 15mins+ (JustforLaughs)

- turned on wireless-AP for my laptop to upload 4 photos on facebook at 3-4 MB in size each. = 13mins+

- sleept 5hrs = 5hrs+ phone was idle

- watched Tokyo Drift movie from Google Play Movies = 3hrs+

See screenshot attached.

What I don't understand is why Samsung Link would consume battery when not in use.

Still a good leaked ROM for me for now.
[Galaxy S III General] nelsonw:
I frost a lot of apps to gain performance and battery life. Including link.
[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
With what did you set the ondemand CPU scaling?
[Galaxy S III General] winuxguy:

No comments. 4.1.2 md2.
[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
That's your usage pattern. Unlike you, I NEVER turn off wifi. And I still get 5 hours screen on from 4.2.2. Bet I could get more if I did the same, but that's not how I choose to use my phone. Dude, just be happy that Samsung latest is also the greatest, at least for some. If you don't think the same, fine, but it is better than 4.1.2 for ME.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
guys, eversince I flashed this leak, KIES does not detect my device anymore (message from Kies : device not responding, reboot). Not that I care much, but is it only me? why?

XXUFME3, rooted, Philz recovery, counter reset with triangle away, device status : offiicial)
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Why don´t you tell it with facts? And I can show you later one usage with gps, wifi full day and still the same screen time.

^That´s not a pattern, I could with the same use one hour screen time less.

And tell how do you manage better touchwiz without zram? Lol, I don´t buy that.

Don´t arge with personal opinions, arge with facts!
[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
How the hell am I supposed to prove that the UI is not laggy? I won't record a video just to please some random person on the internet. Also, why would I keep using the firmware if it's worse? Makes no f* sense, my phone is a also a work tool. When I tried 4.2.1 leak and saw it was crap, I reverted to 4.1. But that's not the case now. Keep using your MD2 and I'll keep using ME3.

That's 3 hours screen on with 53% left. Do the math and you will realize that 5-6 hrs is very much possible.

Ps: I even have a SIP client running all the time in the background.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Can you put a screenshot for the same image with battery history?

Before you wrote that you get 4.30 screen time...
[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
That screenshot is from the same day that I flashed 4.2. Didn't take any since then. I did get 4:30, tough, why is that so hard to believe?
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Happened same to me, on the first charge, but then life decreses, thats maybe because the chip gauge its not reading accuratly.

After that it decreses...
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
You complain about the battery in the leak but not in Cm 10.1? The battery is comparatively worse in CM, especially the notorious android OS usage. I found the battery in the leak acceptable but somewhat worse than 4.1.2

Friends,

I was upset about the bad battery life I've had and I chose to try one more time... Now the right way...

I've stopped to flash it with MOP and I install first the latest firmware 4.1.2 (mine is from brazil... I think a newest one will run much better than mine) with Odin 3.0.4...

After configure all my accounts, I turned off the phone, and install ME3 without wipe

Now it works like a charm...

of course, with a few bugs like bad ram management and CPU warm

but the battery is good right now

There's a new 4.1.2 ROM (MD3). I've written the review here; http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41892687&postcount=11391

If you're satisfied with 4.2.2, then I suggest that you stay on it. :)
[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
While you have facts for your phone, the fact is every battery (and phone) is different. I have two Samsung batteries and one can get 4 hours max while the other gets between 4.5 to 5.

Personally I find the leak battery life to be no different to stock 4.1.2 which I got max 4.5 hours most of the time. I don't have lag or anything in the ui.

One issue that I am having is that the screen ripples (? ) or flickers for lack of better word... occurs randomly... normally when there is some transition effect or lighting change. Anyone experiencing that?

At any rate, to anyone sitting on the fence about trying this Rom, I'd do a nandroid and then run this for a few days... if it's that bad you can always go back
[Galaxy S III General] crixalis:
I think I will shot myself un head. How god can you have over 4 hour screen time ????

Since i have my phone, I never past 2:30 - 3 hours screen time. I try thousand roms combination, custom rom, stock rom, stock kernel, all of them

Somebody explain me, whats wrong with my phone

Do you use 3g? Or tryed de correct combination between ril baseband?

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Sure every phone battery behaves diferent. But one I can ensure you. Same battery same hardware behaves different in different firmware. That's my conclusion in my phone. As a fact. And it can be explained in part that the hardware is getting high benchmarks. It takes more juice, maybe they try to compensate lag of the disabled zram with hw acceleration. How can you explain better multitasking with disabled zram? Lol. Kidding... one is sure when they get things together this firmware will be awesome.
[Galaxy S III General] crixalis:
I use only wi-fi, auto brightness. I have 1 google sync, facebook, whatsapp, viber, messenger. I use grenify for useless app, I use titanium back-up to freeze bloatware.

[Galaxy S III General] shupiuiuma:
Bluetooth sound is much worse than 4.1.2. I use the phone in my car and with 4.2.2 it is useless. Very often I also hear some click sounds. I hope they fix this in the official release. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Everything is wiped of course.

Yeah could be the battery itself. I think you could test it by swapping the battery. Maybe borrow it from another s3 user. "Battery Monitor Widget" is a good app to see the history of your battery. You could try it.

Lockscreen widgets with security

So after searching this ROM up and down for any hidden knob or switch to bring back lock screen widgets while having pattern unlock in place (or PIN unlock) I finally decided to learn a bit about (de)odex and smali. Long story short, you can find a very lightly modified android.policy.odex right here which allows you to configure and edit lockscreen widgets even when you're using a pattern unlock. It may not be as secure anymore but it should be as good as stock AOSP and it's sufficient for my personal security demands. For those interested I've also added a diff there which documents my changes. The md5sum of my modifed android.policy.odex is 75658dd6b07442360f0028fae6d96414.

Prerequisites:

adb tool

busybox

a bit of a clue about Android adb and the Android command line (well you're on XDA anyway)

balls to trust your phone security to a complete stranger :)

Install as follows:

copy android.policy.odex somewhere on your phone/sdcard.

YOUR-PC$ adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

root@android:/ # busybox mount /system -o rw,remount

cp /system/framework/android.policy.odex /system/framework/android.policy.odex.org

cp <previously-copied android.policy.odex> /system/framework/.

sync

reboot

Disclaimer:

I take no responsibility for any bricked phones, broken friendships or busted marriages. Please do this only if you know how to recover from a boot-loop or wanted to buy a new phone anyway.

Obviously this is a nasty hack which may breach your security badly. Don't use if you're worried about this.

They just work in some parts like sql defrag and zip align at boot. The multi tasking script I didn't get it to work. Just like other scripts. I managed to get init.d suport for this leak but most of the scripts don't work. Even supercharge. This should happen because diferent layout partition of 4.2.2. But to be honest I didn't changed my jar services. And yes rom is laggy compared with 4.1.2. Just came from 4.1.2 and gave this a second try and for the same time I feel lag compared with 4.1.2 md2. Even typing in keyboard is laggy.

Ok I know many people might not use MMS but for those who do, is it working on the 4.2.2 leak? Mine isn't downloading/sending my mms and it isn't converting my sms to mms after 3 messages either (option is turned on)

At any rate it was mentioned earlier in one of the posts that you don't need a full wipe to go back to 4.1.2, but then it said something about erasing data? Can someone please clarify if I can move to 4.1.2 again without a wipe? After a positive review from DeadSol I'm thinking about jumping to MD3. The screen flicker problem is getting more annoying + MMS might be the last straw
