Serenity Fixex and Questions

Few things I am fixing right now:

CSC - apn's for TIME Sync

Time Sync

Video Popup

Browser Popup - This I have to look into more

Framework - I am working on this as currently the requirement to use the port is to use the S III framework. I am trying to get the GNote II framework working properly so that the rom functions better. This does not seem to want to work because the Gnote II is not built on the same chipset and without the proper kernel running it I have to continue using the S III framework until I find a proper fix. I will continue to work on this.

QuickGlane

Email - I have not experienced any issues but I'm looking into it.

Favorites in Phone - i have not experienced any issues but I'm looking into it.

SCloudSync - Sometimes this may crash I have fixed it

Now question:

Making a CM Rom with TW and SamsungCamera, that's basically running JB with Touchwiz. You can also just install a different Launcher if you don't want TW but want the Samsung Features. The issue with having CM and having Samsung Features is that they don't work due to the kernel. AOSP kernels are not compatible with Samsung Apps. You cannot run the SamsungCamera on an AOSP kernel, reconfiguring the kernel does not work either. At this point I have not been able to make a combined kernel however I am still working on the prospect of this. I believe it is possible. just will take a considerable amount of time and reprogramming in both kernels and SamsungApps.

Hey Drew, can you please fix the network issues that a lot of people are having. Thank You.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rambo8987:
the quoute you qouted states what your asking for. if your running this can you confirm this rom reads 64gig sd card if you have one
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zingzongzang:
The only thing I would add to that is the freeze when trying to change the lock screen shortcuts but I'm not sure if that has to do with framework or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TTboy404:
I hope media plays over Bluetooth, my amazon music on my sd card won't play but navigation and notifications work.. Seems to be my only issue with the version I am running.

Was getting ready to update but will hold off till the next update is released!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g0d4lm1ty:
Hey drew, i got an lte logo but I'm on umts.. also using latest base band uclg1.. and I'm on AT&T..

I like the rom so far.. clock sync doesn't fix time without manually updating so I'm waiting for drews fix.. and please don't forget gw :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
Yes I am fixing network issues as well.

Google Wallet I have an Update in UpdateMe, I just need to update that For this build because it will not work on this build.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g0d4lm1ty:
Great news. Should i hold off or go back to ms5 while waiting for the fixes?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
Okay, just ran a test, for what it's worth.

Left my phone alone for an hour. I had an alarm set for the end of that hour. Alarm went off as planned. Setting the clock sync app works, for those who are still in serenity/want to get onto serenity.

I took some screenshots of my settings in ClockSync.

If it matches that, say goodbye to time problems and network problems.

To make matters better, ClockSync doesn't even show up on the battery use list (for me at least) and for data its only used around 60KB total since this morning.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cundiffr:
I cannot change the lock screen short cuts. Anyone else having that problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_rector:
Not sure if anyone else is having an issue with the screen brightness, but 2 to 3 times today I had an issue where the display got real dim. I restarted the phone and it was all good.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheesemuffins:
I'm thinking that I'm going to flash milestone 5 and wait until the fixes are made. I've flashed roms on my tablet before but this will be the first on my GS3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
It's most likely because it's using the S III Framework I'll see what I can do to fix it.

In the mean time I have fixed the following:

Network Connection

Automatic Times

Email Issues

Video Popup - still working on

Still working on a few more issues that are pretty much fixed just finishing up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_rector:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sirrkitt:
In response to your kernel thoughts earlier, makes me wonder if anyone will or can do what gokhanmoral ad team sky fire did on the GS2 and make an all-in-one kernel that works with both TW and AOSP.

I actually switched back to aokp for now but once you get the smoothness/framework fixed and the time bologna done I might have to switch ships again. Thanks times a million, though for your badass work, man!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alirulzz:
does the serenity rom have any s pen and multi screen features from the note 2? thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TaterTot85:
Yes posted this earlier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
It's set up to work with multiscreen but since it's using the S III framework I don't think multiscreen works. The S Pen for the GNote will not work, however the pen for the S III works fine as usual and will allow you to use it in the S Pen apps. SNote did not work however so I had to include SMemo instead. All the other app are pretty much original unless otherwise listed.

I will have the new version up later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the advantage of using a Gnote 2 port? Is TW that much different? Or is it basically a few new things considering your using the SG3 framework?

You should post some screenshots so people like me who are hesitant to jump roms can have a look lol.

And no disrespect DG. Just curiosity. Been very happy with what I'm running now but Im always looking for something new
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alirulzz:
There some pretty sick options in the note 2 like you can actuallly cut stufff out from your browser and paste using your stylus/spen/cpen.. can we do that on this rom? if not can you please try to include it.. cause that would be amazing.. thanks for your great work tho. im on your m5 rom and i have NEVER had better life on this phone then i get right now.. thanks a lot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] martyotaku:

http://youtu.be/p4Os_517J7Q part 2

this shows all the new features of the note 2 software that we did not see
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lessthanzach:
I am curious if we can get the time fix in a flash able zip to tide us over until your next release? I like this rom but the time thing makes finding sent and received sms near impossible among other things. If not, that's okay. Just thought that was the biggest issue and if it were resolved then you wouldn't feel rushed to push out a full release, possibly missing other things you didn't have time to include.

Thanks again drew, been digging these roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
Yes you can do things but not with the S Pen, because the S III does not support it, you can use the CPen though through the rom anywhere the SPen is used.

There are many advantages to using the GNote 2 rom including the it is actually AT&T and not based on another carriers SIII leak. I works well and is pretty stable. I am realizing another version tonight that is more stable tonight.

I am still working my JellyBean747 Milestone roms, however Serenity is based on an official AT&T 4.1.1 firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alirulzz:
Ya thats what i meant.so if i use my Cpen on the s3, i would be able to do all the same features we can do in the note 2? like the cutting and pasting in the browser.. and like taking down notes while on a phone call and so on and so forth which are on the note 2 ?? thanks a lot again bro. realy appreciate it.. will wait and flash your new version tonight..

btw does the serenity have the same awesome battery life as the m5? thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pr0cl1v1ty:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawen:
falshed the serenity rom on i747M, problem i found was the 4GLTE icon on status bar that i only have 4G service but no LTE yet still it shows 4GLTE
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alirulzz:
yup was just clarifying.thus reasked it.. thats all d

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bud951:
Same here. I wanted to do a fresh install of M5 and other than it tears thru battery like crazy :eek: everything else is working very well for now.

yeah i did everything works but screen is black! had to restore from nandroid. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
does this have the multi window thing where you can have two apps shown at once?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imgladuhateme555:
On the latest rom I'm getting intermittent problems with the Play Store saying it can't find a connection and the Facebook app says it can't find a secure connection. Also getting the problem with lock screen shortcuts. Got a strange FC in the UpdateMe app, not sure what that was about. Overall it's kinda buggy, but pretty nice. Got about 6000 on Quadrant first run. Get rid of the small bugs and it'll be near perfect.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
read earlier...those unable to connect are caused by the time...correct your time and they work fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imgladuhateme555:
Awesome, thanks. I had read back, but must've missed it or not gone back far enough.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_rector:
At least it's not like back in the BBS days using a 9600 modem :)

Does this need to be a clean install? Or can it be flashed over version 1?

So there are lots of variables but much of what is in this guide is applicable. This is the first thread I read that really gave step by step directions that I understood easily. Some of the content is going to be SGS2 specific but a lot of it is applicable to any Android firmware. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505685

Also in other forums if you search for "Guide" there have been some other similar write ups.

Hope that helps a little.

Not booting up

1.1 is the same issue I had with M5.

While I was able to install v1, v.1.1 fails to install. It went very fast installing system, even less than half of the progress bar, and done. Boot is stuck on Galaxy SIII logo.

Sad. I was hoping to have it working.

Everything was cleaned up: data, cache, dalvik. No luck. :(

I was copying file from my computer to the phone, and look like IT IS getting corrupted while copying. It happens only on my Home computer. It does not happen on my work computer.
