Hi guys

Could anyone please send me a copy of /system/bin/wpa_supplicant from the leaked 4.2.2? I need it for another ROM and I would like to save the time for flashing Sammy's ROM just for this file. Thanks a lot for your help.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
All yours mate.

I d'ont know why you have problems with your battery, my battery is wonderfull, maybe you have to mutch apps or games into the background...

Its a smartphone and not a s.h.i.t. PlayStation ;) You will play and need games with no "life" or you play ONLY games with no reallife :D? Then buy a PC, Netbook, Notebook or a Console :angel::fingers-crossed:

Embarrassed to play games on a smartphone :eek: :silly:

Hmmm... no problems here

I seem to remember that you written a instructions "I install without 'full-wipe' "... right ;)

I make a full wipe and cache + dalvik clear and I have not this problems ;)

My opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:
For all users who experience bugs, i recommend you all to flash an Official Stock 4.1.2 rom, do a full wipe then flash again this leak rom. This how i do it and my device didnt experience any FC, lags and bugs. And this is my battery life
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
I have no battery or graphics issues with mine. I did a full wipe before I flashed 4.2.2 and did a full wipe + cache and dalvik afterward. My only complaint is I can't use the custom boot animations I was using. I'm really liking this ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] marcosdemori:
moderate use, holds about 1 day .. :/

[Galaxy S III General] tapan15in:
Yeah same here I can't use boot animations.

I also deleted the default hot mobile boot animation ut though my new bootanimation is not working?? Any solution
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
My experience

1) Battery is fine for me

2) Don't play games much so not seen this

3) Yes had this from day 1. In fact installed ROM twice doing full wipe each time but occasionally phone just seems to freeze after screen goes off and only way back is to reboot - RAM issues?

4) Yes - get this. Occasional stutter and then sometimes major stutter.

5) Not aware of this

3) only happens occasionally but 4) is quite often and a pain as I listen to a lot of music.

I will stick it out though until official release as frankly can't be arsed to try and role back! Even with the issues I have still really like this ROM!
[Galaxy S III General] sharkman3d:
Have you tried changing the permissions on the boot animations this is what i have done and mine boots up and down with the standard animations. here is a link to the how to change the permissions with root explorer

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yeah, I figured that a few people won't have the same problems that I'm facing. Everyone has a different set-up. There are even some people who didn't wipe and they're getting excellent battery life. My wakelocks don't even show up on BBS. It just seems to be draining battery for no reason. A max of 3hrs of screen on time is unacceptable! :(

Like I mentioned before, I have some important docs on my phone and my Google Keep has my daily activities planned out (tasks, tasks, tasks everywhere)! That's why I need an absolutely stable phone and the leak isn't stable enough for me! :)

So, good luck to all those who're happy with it! I'll join you on the next leak/final release of 4.2.2. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Abyv:
Strange that a FW behaves so different to some. Anyway I am happy with it . Haven't played any game...so don't knw that side. But battery wise..and performance wise not much to complaint
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
But you have to admit, most of us here aren't ordinary users. Most of us have modded, tweaked and customized our phones to our heart's content. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] pkoper:
It really comes down to your individual usage pattern.

Looking at the wakelocks it seems better than 4.1.2. But something is seriously wrong once you actually use the phone (screen is on and you are doing something with the phone).

I just lost 17% browsing for about 40mins. Overnight however it was only 1%.
[Galaxy S III General] Airbag888:
You should append that to your initial review. That said since you're going to wipe, would you consider wiping and staying on 4.2 for a couple more days see if that solves the issues you have?

I have a feeling battery drain is from the 3g modem, I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
Before my battery history showed "awake" when there was "screen on"... now it's blank. I have a feeling the stock history thing might be changed. As for the 17% in 40 minutes, that's about how much I lose too... It's averaged 25%/ hour lol which is why I get 4 hours screen time :(
[Galaxy S III General] MikeOnX:
Guys, I think I've found a bug. After I use the gps & then turn it off in the notification drawer it seems to stay on, at least that's what my Battery graph is showing me in the settings. BBS says it has been on for 7 mins.
[Galaxy S III General] alankstiyo:
I think adaptive screen mode consumes a lot of battery, also I´m seeing the GPS getting enabled pretty much once every 20 secs
[Galaxy S III General] crixalis:
With this rom touch wiz redraw its more often. Every time when I switch between 2-3 app, touchwizz its redraw
[Galaxy S III General] alankstiyo:
I think it turns off after clicking on the menu option but if on even when no app is using it, it gets on
[Galaxy S III General] :
situation after flashing the leaked FW

hello,

for me this ROM is working fine.

the first time I didn't recharge the phone during the night.

I just want to see the full life of the battery.

it is stable. I'm not using TouchWiz, but I'm using Next launcher - until now there are not any visible issues (with redraw).

only the issue with music is happening, but only sometimes.

Just to understand the profile: I'm using exchange and gmail auto sync, wifi whole day ON, music (1 hour), e-mailing, about 20 minutes of calls, 3G is ON when Wifi is not used, reading - 30-60 minutes.

Usually, I have 30 % left in the evening (with previous ROMs).

I had Omega 43.3 before. I just flashed (without full wipe) through Odin (PC version).

after reboot - all the applications were upgraded. and all the applications are working properly (and even faster than before) :)
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Ah, I've already wiped and flashed MD2! It took me more than an hour to restore everything (the internet is really slow here).

I would have definitely considered adding that to my review but then I get a lot of people telling me that they aren't experiencing any of those issues! So, I keep all the universal stuff in my reviews and the personal experience comes in other posts! :)

I didn't want to stay on the leak because I play a lot of games and the video drivers weren't fully updated. Graphical tearing and other glitches annoy me a lot, especially when I'm trying to show my phone off to others! RAM management also wouldn't have improved with a wipe. The battery issue was the one issue that forced me to go back to stock 4.1.2. I don't think a wipe would have resolved that either because no rogue application showed up in BetterBatteryStats and the built in battery monitor. Something else in that ROM was causing the battery drain.
[Galaxy S III General] shoames:
Thanks for the review. Hope you are going back to XXEMRA (latest 4.1.2):D
[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:
We are the first device to have official 4.2.2, not to mention some of 2013 flagships still stuck in 4.1.2 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
I used LH4 and found it slower than 4.0.4 I've now got LH6 and it's about the same as 4.0.4 - this whole project butter thing seems a wash to me, the S3 is more than fine with 4.0.4 - very smooth anyhow? :/ I suspect the 'improvements' with 4.1 were actually quite minimal and will continue to slowly be integrated over subsequent versions in the next 18 months.

I will say the iphone is a much smoother FAKE experience - things like the screenshot trick are bloody brilliant techniques to create the illusion of speed - it's cheating but it works, I hate to give them credit but they deserve it for smart stuff like that.
[Galaxy S III General] ralf007:
Question

I noticed a bug on the button to turn off / restart. When you press the button and select any option, it runs normal, but then when you try to access that menu again he no longer appears to be necessary to restart by removing the battery or press the button until the reboot. Has anyone noticed this?

Other than that I'm really enjoying it. Excellent ROM. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] dwardu:
does anyone have a problem with the notificaiton sounds? i cant seem to get them to work, everytime i increase the volume the system turns it off.

EDIT: so i have found thje problem to this, apparently its a bug on blocking mode in settings. when you turn it on then decide to turn it off, it wont allow you to increase the notificaiton volume unless you restart your device. going to flash to the latest software update soon will give you an update if this bug still exists.

EDIT 2: and if you restart the device the phone will turn data off and wont turn on until you try browse a page, it will inform you that you have exceeded your data limit and you will have to force re enable data in the notification box.
[Galaxy S III General] JAMIE1000UK:
I had a few problems with this rom. The s note crash, keyboard when using nimbuzz went nuts. Like it was as if depending on which way my phone was tilted when i pressed a key determined which key was pressed.. very strange.. i will say though. It is very very quick compared to 4.0.4.

When the problems are ironed out this will be a great rom but as it is now.. its too buggy for my liking.
[Galaxy S III General] Iron wolf:
can i?

Can i flash this while running on a rooted custom firmware for example (cm9 or supernexus) or do i need to have the stock firmware. sorry for the noobified question. I'm new to this forum.
[Galaxy S III General] bortak:
If you're coming from AOSP (non-touchwiz), then you have to wipe from recovery (system, data, preload, cache, dalvik). Then just boot into download mode and flash with Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
no several bugs after factory reset and dalwik.

Do it because Jelly Bean is not Ice Cream.

I think this last firmware amazing.
[Galaxy S III General] Cdjones187:
Hard to believe there are people claiming "no bugs"... Wifi connects for me just fine, just doesn't work. Long pressing power button is as stated, broken. The popup messages are a constant thing. Haven't even really started using this build and already going back to ICS. Thanks for the leak, looking forward to the next one tomorrow ;) High hopes on a final release within the next 2 weeks!

BTW: Booted into CWM and wiped all data, fact reset/system/data/cache etc etc. Flashed via odin. Booted device, did factory reset via jelly bean, rebooted into recovery and factory reset/cleared data/cache. All before using anything.
[Galaxy S III General] MangoPandemic:
Having an odd problem with wallpaper cropping, either through Gallery or Settings. The actual area used as wallpaper is the section of the image slightly left of the cropped area.

This happens for the home screen but seems fine on the lock screen.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
this is to do with scrolling wallpapers not working in this build
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Just because your facing issues doesn't mean everyone else is. The only bug I have come across (that I have not been able to do a simple fix for) is the wallpapers not scrolling, I have no bugs with wifi, chaton, power menu, force closes, lockscreen tips etc etc.
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
Has no one think that maybe Samsung has disabled project butter?

Same way they have disabled other features like automatically moving icons when moving widgets and the new featureswhen you take a picture.
[Galaxy S III General] MangoPandemic:
Ah, thanks for the info! I did a search for whether this was a known bug but thought the scrolling wallpapers was a different issue altogether.

Other than that this seems to be pretty smooth, and that's coming from the OTA that leaked last week which was near flawless (for me).
[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
I'm sorry for your experience,

about wifi, I'm using in my home without problem, for some hours, I do not lose connection.

If popup messages include the one to unlock the device, I solved using Widget Locker and disabled the stock one.
[Galaxy S III General] Cdjones187:
And just because your NOT having bugs doesn't mean the other 99% of us have the same experience. You keep posting the same thing over and over, we get it, it works for you.

Explain how everyone else has these issues besides you (and a handful of others)? Unless you installed it differently the outcome should be the same, device hardware quality control shouldn't make a difference.

As far as wifi, I'm certainly connected. Even shows data being transfered up and down but when signing into account/browsing nothing happens.
[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
I confirm the wallpaper doesnt scroll when we change page...

Actually started the download bout 10 minutes ago =P Will report back soon.

I see 'router related', may be. Not going to mess with it until the official build is released, thanks for pointing it out though.

Update: On omega 15 it won't even connect to wifi, whereas on this odin flashable it connects. Just going to wait it out. Thanks

Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit v5.0

for this ROM is today available the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V5.0 but I cannot root my phone, have any of you tried to use it?

thanks
[Galaxy S III General] tapan15in:
:) already did this I use to change the bootanimation with this method only for my other devices. But i think this is a bug for this rom i guess
[Galaxy S III General] Airbag888:
That's completely understandable. Thanks anyway for the time you put in for your reviews.

As for me I'm currently on 4.1.2 dual booting with CM10.1

CM's battery life is stellar compared to 4.1.2 i went from 7-8% ph to 3% or below ph. Now that I installed Fbook Home I see a higher usage but that only means FB home sucks more :p

The only complaint with CM is the camera crashes sometimes and other times (when you use flash) it can crash your phone altogether. Maybe that's fixed in recent releases.

Anyhow it's too bad Gokhan seems to be on hiatus, without a new Siyah kernel I won't be able to dual boot sammy 4.2 and cm10.1 it appears :(
[Galaxy S III General] floxigen:
I ve re flashed xemd4, the battery and the smoothness is a lot better
[Galaxy S III General] aasimkhan30:
I think all the new 4.2.2 things on s4 (the new touchwizz,camera ,air gestures )might be tied to 3.4 kernel i hope we get it in the official one

[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
The modem didn't change, so it should be the same as before you flashed 4.2.2 and thus cannot be the problem on its own.
[Galaxy S III General] Oomahey:
I think the battery drain is because of the modem/RIL mismatch. I tried changing the RIL with the GetRIL app but no luck. The RIL for my modem (DDEMB1) shows as unidentified even after I match it. I can see the same symptoms in my phone now as when I had a mismatched RIL (when using 4.1.2, of course). But back then, I could identify the issue in BBS. This time I cannot. UGH!
[Galaxy S III General] Airbag888:
Hi Johan, I mentioned the 3G as possible culprit of draining for the same reason as Oomahey did above. Of course it's all just guesses.
[Galaxy S III General] HC4Life:
At first time when i flashed this leaked rom i didn't make wipes and some features didn't work. Yesterday i decided to make a full wipe before flash and now i must say this rom rocks, much better than 4.1.2 stock. This is my first rom that i flashed in my SG3 and i couldn't be more happy. One curious thing after flash the rom, when booted i had already the original samsung bootanimation and shutdown animation...a bit strange...lol

In general this is a great rom :good:

[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
I agree, it is hard to pinpoint the cause of it all. Though the remark of it being due to a mismatch of RIL and modem might be it as well. I guess this is what you get for using leaked FW ;) and in my case up until now, it works just as good as with EMC3.

Thank you very much. I used his tutorial and it worked, however only for the bootup animation not the shutdown one.

"3. navigate to /system/media/shutdown and replace shutdown.qmg with the one from the zip"

I cannot find any shutdown.qmg inside the zip, that's the whole problem.
[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
It is in the /system/media/video/shutdown folder.
[Galaxy S III General] TarekElsakka:
Yes, I understand that. I am talking about the International_animation.zip, there's no such file inside it so that I can replace the system one with.
[Galaxy S III General] crisjogos:

guys, eversince I flashed this leak, kies does not connect my device anymore. anyone else?
[Galaxy S III General] TarekElsakka:
Thank you so much! It has the file. Unfortunately though when I try to replace it says "permission denied". I am using ES File Explorer with read/write permissions enabled.
[Galaxy S III General] HC4Life:
U have to mount first to read/write. I use Root Explorer for that.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Just as another datapoint, battery life for me the same as MC3 and the other 4.1.2 releases before that. Please note that I have never wiped at all, except ages ago when I tinkered with CM10.1 a bit and than returned to stock. I think the need for wiping seems to be rather app specific. The OS itself and its core apps appears to be very friendly as long as you upgrade. Overall I'm very happy with this leak.

Anyway, to make this post less pointless: being someone who likes having as much control as possible, I keep my own little debloating script and extend it each time I'm confronted with new bloatware. In case someone is interested: it's here. I keep it somewhere in /mnt/extSdCard so its always there when I need it. One note though: it does not contain the replacement of the boot animation (yet), only the shutdown animation is removed.

My workflow is usually this:

copy the tar.md5 image to the phone

flash it with mobile odin (which is worth every penny) and everroot

boot image

update busybox installation which got screwed by flashing

adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

root@android:/ # busybox ash <my-debloat-script.sh>

root@android:/ # sync

root@android:/ # reboot

1st detailed and useful post on this thread for about 20 pages. Thank you! Was getting tired of reading the constant unsubstantiated whinging!
[Galaxy S III General] TarekElsakka:
Yeah, I had already done that but it didn't work. It worked after I rebooted the phone, though. Rebooting does fix almost everything, doesn't it? Haha. Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. Now onto the battery which keeps draining quite a lot while I am sleeping. lol
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Thanks - note that I edited the workflow to include the actuall reboot, which should be done ASAP after running the debloat script. Otherwise the phone will act up pretty bad with the apk/odex files of still running apps being gone and such things. So I just "reboot" on the command line and don't even bother using the UI for that.

Stock Boot/Shutdown Animation

I created this package for those who want to go back to the original boot/shutdown animation, just install via CWM ;)
[Galaxy S III General] pkoper:
Well that's what some are trying to point out.

Your phone was "on" for just 2 hours and the battery is down to 45%. That means you probably won't get over 4 hours of usage out of it.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Precisely! :p

It's a wonder how people think that 2-3 hours of screen on time is acceptable with the Galaxy S3! :p

I did until I froze it with tb.

When you open it, you will see that it shows all your media.. I think the high battery use is cos it scans all your photos and creates thumbnails. Will probably calm down after a while, but if you don't use it just get rid of it.

After a few days use my main gripes are with audio playback and Bluetooth. For no apparent reason audio (music or audio books) stored on my external SD card start to stutter horribly. It settles down after a minute or so but annoying! Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Also I use Bluetooth headphones and connection is a little flaky. First use in the morning they won't connect until I do a scan in settings. Also two or three times a day it will drop the connection after I pause\unpause the audio even though the Bluetooth notification icon shows as connected. Restarting headphones sorts that out.
[Galaxy S III General] Stile35:
Is it true that they switched to MONO audio in HD video recording instead of STEREO which had bug in previous releases with swapped audio channels? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] miikkahoo:
I'm having the audio stutter also, it makes listening to music pretty much impossible. It freezes the whole phone when it's happening. Happens when listening to local files, when streaming (google play music) and even on drm protected content (spotify). :thumbdown::(
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Aha! I warned people that this was happening! The audio stutters are horrible!

To the guy who asked about swapped audio: it's still swapped.

[Galaxy S III General] ionutparvan:
I don't know why you think that his battery life is not ok judging only by screen on time. I've had my s3 for over an year now, tried all kind of roms and debloating scripts and I never get over one day of usage with 3g always on wifi on(connecting when a network is avaliable) GPS and all sync on plus max 3 and a half hours of screenon time. Of course if you turn all radios and sync off and turn the brightness down to minimum you get 5 or 6 hours of screenon time but what's the point. So I've learnt that the differences between stock roms is minimal with or without tweaks. So to conclude I think his battery life is more than ok and it's really normal for a phone like S3.
