Great ROM so far, currently on M3.5 BB, but having a few minor issues, wanted to see if anyone had any OTHER solutions than the ones I've tried:

Having a ton of battery issues, first and foremost.... can't get more than 7 hours out of the battery after running it for 3 days now (M3.5 doesn't seem to have fixed it from what I've seen since it was posted), and I'm hardly using the phone - as everyone else already mentioned, Android System is using up the most battery by far, currently it shows 82% usage and screen is only 2%, shows how much I've used the phone today! Already down to 86%....

SetCPU is being a total POS on this ROM, not like it wasn't with my last ICS ROM using the KT747 Sammy kernel though.... it would show on the widget totally random numbers for max and min, and no amount of clearing data / cache on the app, uninstalling, reinstalling is helping - it just shows the wrong stats all the time, and I'm half considering that's what's up with the battery! If it shows that it's stuck at 1512MHz for max AND min, then sure, it's consuming a ton of battery.... I removed it 24 hours ago and I'm still getting awful battery life though

I cannot get pictures to display in the gallery, no matter what I try.... clearing data / cache in app settings, flashing the GN2 Gallery and Camera zip over the ROM that already has it in there, tons of restarts, etc.... anything else to try? I've always got JustPictures and QuickPic on backup, but this gallery is really cool and simple

Maybe an issue that has to do with the gallery, but I can't get the lockscreen wallpaper to stick. Homescreen, that's fine, but the lockscreen keeps reverting back to a JB wallpaper and won't accept any changes when I use JustPictures or QuickPic to set it, I think it needs the gallery app to do it, but as we all know, it FC's the moment you try and set a wallpaper....

Had an issue with root sticking for about the first 10 restarts.... apps would constantly tell me the phone wasn't rooted, and I've read others had the issue early on - it's since resolved, I think, but I thought I should mention I had this issue as well

Any help would be great, otherwise holding on for M4 and hoping it will solve most of these issues!

It was for the international SIII, so no carrier specifically

I'm on AT&T BB3.5 and had some battery issues. One thing was after I had reflashed 3.5 i had some permissions issues with SetCPU and it was draining battery. I reassigned superuser and security to it and all cleared up. I also use in combination with titanium backup to freeze many of the android system things (also a few downloads items to stop "media" drain) and now my battery is lasting about 14 hours with heavy usage throughout the day. Also, no heating issues anymore.

Like you I like some if not most of the features TW brings to the table. Few of my friends have S3's so buddy share is actually pretty nice along with smart stay, double tap to top and missed notifcation reminder when I pick up my phone.

Google now is all I really wanted but not enough to give up TW for.

This rom does run really smooth and I have only had a couple of issues trying to log into certain apps with username password.. Get a vibration then the app crashes or causes the phone to hot boot.

Love the updates.. Keep them coming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
The only difference in the 2.1 release and the 2 release is the addition of a fixed SecMMS for those with issues using the JB SecMMS sending and receiving pictures/video messages. This is a minor fixed and I was also adding it some mirrors.

I have not released a newer build yet with proper changes nor will I release a build that is a milestone build such as build 3 with the MMS fix because JB SecMMS does work for a lot of people.

As for the nav bar, I am really working on the actually stability of this rom before I get into any of the modifications. If I get I a chance I will work on it later today when I work on part of the theme.

Anyone using the default email app; not GMail. I've setup my Exchange accounts and trying to configure the signature for each and for some reason there is default HTML code (that is not displayed in the text field) that I cannot remove.

Basically, if clear all text from within this field, but enable the signature option, try composing an email and you will see default HTML code displayed.

I've included the text below.. I realize the new update is allowing HTML based signatures, but there is nothing actually entered in this field. When I add my own text, it includes this.

I will take a look into this I haven't set up any accounts yet, since this isn't the final build it may not be finished yet. That may be the case or it may just not show up in emails, I'm not sure I'll check it out later on and report back.

As for the Slow downloads. You shouldn't get slow downloads from my site, I have attempted a download from my site today and it was not slow at all for Release 2. In future releases I will add multiple mirrors on my site and try other mirror sites so you can downloading from.

Also, it does appear in emails... very strange.

Just to let everyone know about the battery issues. This is the actual os release. As with your phone out the box, it runs tons of apps in the background. Tweaks must be made to limit what apps run to improve battery life.the tricky part would be to choose what apps to tweak without causing issues with normal everyday use. I tested turning off sync and my battery life doubled. I leave on battery saver also. I have little or no issues in comparison to the original ics that came with my phone. If you check out what system apps are running via the built in battery monitor, you can see about 50-60 apps running. These will be the tweaks that drew will work on. Some kernels can help as well. Usually it's just about what to disable on start up. And what to allow to be manually closed. Hope this helps...

this rom is also ridiculously slow for me :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
well you are in the minority as most everyone else is having a good experience with it except for some minor teething issues: obvious things to check -- did you do a clean install (cache, dalvik and data) or not? what rom did you come from - stock, another jb, ics or cm? -- all of which could put a crimp on your install and operations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brucealeg:
I'm getting what feels like some screen tearing in the messaging app. FMV seems fine etc. I assume this gets back to hardware overalays and GPU rendering? Can someone confirm and give me a quick primer if I am correct? I read up some but people are confused and counter what each other say. It's confusing.

For those complain about the Gallery, it seem like every case I read about is cause by a Titanium restore. Do NOT restore anything buy apps+data. If you pick system this will happen. It happened to me and avoiding a full restore fixed it. It comes up many times in this thread, if you have something different - my apologies.

On rom speed from last poster, this rom has been FAST for me. 5900 in quadrent.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Franky_V:
The battery listing you speak of shows what MIGHT be running. I froze half of them but they still show up under that option. There aren't that many apps running at one time. To see apps running, you should be in the application manager.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Okay, I should have also mentioned that I've frozen a TON of useless crap in TiBU prior to posting my battery woes, but it hasn't helped any - I've frozen more junk in this ROM than I have in any other to prevent Android System from running crap I don't want or need, and it hasn't helped....

I also should have mentioned that I came from ICS but did a clean install, wiping everything DG said to, and then once it booted up the first time, I went back into recovery and restored my data from ICS - before anyone has a fit about it, I've done that on two other devices and they both worked flawlessly, so unless there's something specific with the SGSIII that would cause issues with restoring data, I haven't found it....

I even got Wallet up and running, haven't tried it at a register yet to ensure that it works, but flashed the lib fix and latest Wallet from that thread, and it installed and let me add my cards back to it just fine, all the rest of my app data has been working great too, it's just the new stuff like the GALLERY that's causing some issues!

When looking at CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats, I'm noticing the phone sitting at 1.13GHz and 1.51GHz for nearly 100% of the time, combined.... I'd love to get SetCPU working with this, but what the hell would I set it to, 800MHz max so it doesn't even reach those high speeds to sit at them burning up battery?

Hey guys I ended up going back to M3.0 cause when I was with M3.5 my screen would rotate 90 degrees every so often and of course when you don't want it to do it....lol... Also so for some reason a purchased app would read error 405 at the Play Store..... all is well with M3.0 so I'll wait till 4.0 so see what it's all aobut.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
Actually, this is an os LEAK. Which means it is a testing build. There's going to be some bugs that will eventually (hopefully) be ironed out before an official release comes. The battery drain issue is more than just a bunch of apps running in the background, it's something using way more resources than it should and waking the kernel more than it should. But when I can go a day of use and then an entire night at work listening to podcasts/pandora with only using half a battery on ics/aosp jb, and then go to having to charge it completely before leaving for work and end up with a dead phone when I get home using these leaks, something is awry. Sure there are many things you can do to cut down the drain, but I shouldn't have to change my habits in order to keep my battery from dying. It's not drew's fault, but there IS a battery drain bug in these leaks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brucealeg:
I did mine the same way and in my experience if I restored more in TiBU then just missing apps+data I got your results. I started over and 2nd time through took apps+data and pow 100% improved experience. Everything on phone worked like it did via stock ICS, other then the battery drain etc.

Note on the TiBU. I took the apps+data then noticed my SMS was empty then asked TiBU to restore just the data for that by itself and that was safe also. That was the winning formula for me. To be honest, I'm more of a iOS guy - but like to dabble with Android from time to time. I've never owned a Android device where I could do a full restore via TiBU and NOT have issues. Just my two cents.

I'm not having any odd SetCPU issues either.

Milestone 4

I am working on Milestone 4 right now, however it's kinda a slow process because I'm waiting on insurance to send me a new phone and I don't want to keep flashing back and fourth test builds and and reseting the binary count especially with a cracked screen that could stop functioning any moment. Hopefully I'll get a new phone within the next 2 days from insurance. I am working on the build still as we speak and I will get a functioning Milestone 4 with huge fixes out soon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g0d4lm1ty:
Exactly, it is a leak. Not everyone is have battery season issues though. I'm not. Like i said, i use lte (big drain) and phone calls, you name it. I get about 15 hours before it prompts me to charge. This is about the same as i had out of the box.

I was suggesting you check out how many apps run in the background. Freezing tons of apps is not necessarily the answer as you may not stop the one that is using the most resources. Next time you are on your Windows pc run task manager. You will see a ton of apps running in the background. No different here. Leaks will get better true. Just know that aokp/cm etc roms focus on limiting what apps run in the background for the best user experience and battery life. (Especially reporting programs that track usage). There is a lot involved I battery life. This includes expectations... :p

Couple of bugs to note from M3 (no LTE fix), not sure if they were addressed in 3.5. On modem LH9.

-Looking at the OS battery log, wifi is disconnecting very frequently.

-I'm getting pretty decent battery life when just on wifi 30+ hours. "Android System" makes up the majority of drain in the OS log as others have noted.

-Main wakelocks are from AlarmManager and maps.

-Voice calls drain the battery like no other. A 50 min call brought it down 15%.

-Navigation crashed a few times when it had to reroute.

-Still have a big lag/stutter when scrolling from any homescreen to one that has the gmail widget in it- after coming out of an application.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
I would suggest a different modem and a fresh install.

What do you mean by fresh install? Every time I've wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. Even with nandroid restores.
