So officially the word is that I am going to have to set up a 2 step installer using Aroma because the boot.img causes a boot loop, the best way is installing minimum files for a base and then having the jelly bean upgrade ready and the additional upgrade options. So i am going to hold off the update for tonight and work on getting an aroma update tomorrow. I'll get a few more options in it as well, this will be better for all of us I think and will give me more time to work and perfect this.

Thanks for waiting and tomorrow it will be worth it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ineversl33p:
sounds like a plan. thanks for the update!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
In the aroma is there any way you can set up the option to have it non deoxed? :3

Also looks like USB MTP or whatever doesn't work anymore on Serenity Now. The app my company has wont work and i can't debug it since it shows no connection.

By the way - I tried the Clock Sync Ap posted earlier - seemed to work when I first set it up - I was able to go to the play store again -

the time was correct - all looked good -

Checked my phone a few minutes later - and it said it was 404 am (actualy itl is 1204 pm)

but the really weird thing is - I can still access Play store - ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ijeff:
Did you enable automatic syncronization? That way it keeps overriding the bug that changes the time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wheemer:
Shouldn't UpdateMe be showing stuff that is relevant to the installed rom?

There's no way all those choices are even compatible. This will lead to non-booting phones.

For example I tried the domination theme and no boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stkman32:
For the clock issues all I did was toggle the clock setting and it fixed itself. As far as not being able to access the market and not being able to add widgets, I havent had any crashes what so ever...this ROM is KICK ASS!!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stkman32:
I hate to say this but that would be common sense man!! If you are familiar with flashing you would know that a new base would mean new framework which means if you know the mods worked on the previous rom then 9 times outta 10 it won't work on the new one with new base. Give him time to update it and I'm sure you will be happy.

Looks great so far, just some minor issues on Serenity M1:

SetCPU is set to max 1512MHz, but it won't read over 1026, performance is a little sluggish as such is true

4G LTE logo is Verizon's, not AT&T's, not sure if this was intentional or not

Sometimes has issues turning screen on, kind of like SoD, but screen doesn't acknowledge power button was pressed, unlike SoD that softkeys light up when power button was pressed

All in all, great work getting the GNII ROM on this thing, loving all the little additions that work with the SIII - things like S Pen obviously aren't going to, and there's nothing wrong with that! Quick Glance, as stated already, has issues too, so I froze GlanceViewMK in TiBU
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
is anyone else that is on Serenity experiencing charging issues?? I have tried wall charger and usb into my computer. I have wiped/re-installed, odin back to pure stock then back to this rom and still the same thing... kind of baffling how I can have it plugged in with no accounts set up and still have battery drain...

How do you set up voicemail? Can someone please explain. Im retarded, thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FrankJL_:
I dont understand how that time bug could have slipped the dev.

But truth of the matter is this phone is literally useless with serenity on it. You cant do anything data

is on and off messages are wacked out and cant access the play store at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lexxa83:
RoM is great. Messages good. Data works (didn't work at the beginning). Way to go Drew. Couple more touch ups to perfection.

I love my s3 now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TaterTot85:
I have been running serenity all day and the only bugs I have are the time and setting the lock screen apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vorlan:
Back to ICS

Sorry Drew, but latest ROM not good at least for me.

1. Data On/Off including WiFi.

2. Clock is resetting do not want to miss my appointments and do not want to install any application, which pulls sync data.

3. When someone calls, I tried to answer the call by sliding from left to right and call got dropped. Happened 4 times in a row.

4. USB charging is not happening. Battery actually is getting drained.

5. Overall performance is slow;

6. Android OS shows most of the CPU utilization;

7. Next in CPU is Media (Download Icon) This is something new. What is it?

8. I think you mentioned that this is UC and OC ROM but SetCPU does not show it. It showed in M3 though. (not a big issue though)

Still backed it up for testing my applications I am developing for Android, since Samsung somehow is the worst in OSes. A lot of junk in CatLog (debugging messages) and poor implementation of Sound Codecs. Still having problems streaming Vorbis where Codec is trying to seek to the end of the stream while on HTTP, and my application does not have this information and cannot jump to the end of the stream, because it is still converting file to Vorbis on a fly. This is not your fault. This is Samsung. All of their phones do that, except Galaxy S2 ICS.

So right now I am switching ROMs using ROM Manager to whatever I feel like between Stock rooted ICS and CM10. Will add yours in this loop, but only when I do not need my phone, aka at night just for testing.

I think it is close to the date when ATT should release real JB for S3, and I hope to get hands on rooted one. Too much trouble/issues with 3rd party ROMs including CM10. I tried yours M1, M2, M3 and the latest one. All of them - major problem battery drain where my rooted stock ICS works for 2 days on a single charge. With neither CM10 or yours (M1, M2, M3), phone could not hold more than 16 hours.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] biggggant:
Yeah the clock sync thing didn't fix my time issues and neither did fixing permissions....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FrankJL_:
Yeah those are the only bugs i have. But the time sync is a major issue not just with the playstore but appointments

or anything time sensitive.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sirrkitt:
Not having many issues with this ROM! One of the few TW ROMs I enjoy. Running Serenity currently and way to go Drew! To the people whining, please take a breath and realize that this is a work in progress and Drew is making magic despite us not having an official release or leak specific to our device. This is some pretty great work! I turned off auto time sync and downloaded some app online to sync my time. Performance isn't bad and I'm gonna play with settings on voltage control soon. As for data, I know that if you don't touch the phone for like two minutes after boot the data will eventually come on (it did for me). After a reboot I'm not getting any data issues with data or wifi. I'm pretty satisfied with this. I deleted half the Samsung junk on this ROM and then swapped out the keyboard for swift key and now this thing is flying. I'l see how bbattery goes later today once I head out to my classes.

Also, funny how everyone whines for you to rush rush rush a new rom out then we get a handful of complaints and whines when the one you release has a couple of bugs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ProBoner:
I'm currently in the process of restoring my ICS backup but for anybody who's going to rough it out until the clock/charging/lockscreen issues are resolved, you can try the "moto...something" theme from updateme. It (surprisingly) works and looks awesome!

I was at the point where I had to change to another ROM anyway because I'm heading into work and need (reliable) data so it was no big deal if I FUBARed the install, so I just tested my old Milestone theme and surpringly it all seemed to be okay.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
making some fixes today be back later with them
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FrankJL_:
Why are people defending the bugs so much?

Sure simple bugs like time sync and charging. Nothing that matters AT ALL! Just because it works for you does not mean we all have the same privilege.

About 95% of the time i flash a new rom i am set. Never encounter problems that otehr people face. But this time I do have those small time sync and charging problems.

My phones been connected to USB for 30 minutes ans it went from 19% to 15% while connected!!

And people are not whinning if stating bugs or errors is whinning then guess what the entire DEV scene is filled with a bunch of whinners.

We are all aware it will be fixed.DREW has proven he is capable and worthy of his donations. Patience is key we know that. But some people may not say it. It is frustrating to flash a rom and it not works as intended.

Nothing against the dev nothing at all. Is about the situation.

And if you dont get fruistrated or irrititaed when you flash a rom and something doesnt work then you are not human.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcfarlan:
Maybe you could look at it the other way? What's wrong with someone posting that for them they have no issues? The way I use my phone, I rarely have issues with Roms and I flash them all. Some people troubleshoot and find issues with functionality that are very rarely used in everyday life and that's cool, but doesn't mean beans to me if i don't use them. The point is, I don't think any dev appreciates pages and pages of people ranting about the the same bug and at the same time I think they would like to hear good things once in a while...or maybe some people just need to learn how to report a bug without it seeming like a complaint on a V1 effort...

How did that happen?? I'm still trying to figure out how I got the extra space lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
Found a way to fix the time. Its with he clock sync app.

First, disable all the automatic things in actual settings.

Then, in clock sync settings, set the interval to 30 seconds.

Down on the list somewhere is a check box labeled 'only when wake' check it. This will prevent battery drain.

Then, I can't remember where on the list, enable the time zone detection.

My time has not reset itself since, and I'm getting great battery life. By now in my typical day I'd have to throw it on the charger. Now, I'm still at 47 percent.

P.S. The smart orientation feature works, and is awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clipsruck:
I'm on m5 with no issues. I want to update to serenity but when I flash it I can't get past the samsung setup screen. It just force closes and starts over. I wiped everything but it did not help. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
I understand people think the time sync thing is a minor issue but it has made me go back to MS 5 for now. Every time the time goes wacky all incoming text messages get lost. I get the quick alert and can read it there but when I go to the actual messaging app none are there from today. Plus other things that require time, like calendar alerts, SSL, Playstore, etc don't work without going fix the time. Seems minor but can cause a major headache...but yes, I know this is expected in experimental ROMS ;)

How do you go about getting g the first 48gigs of space I'm probably going to install Milestone 5

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
That's the thing. The clock sync app when set up like that fixes the time issue. It just won't go wacky. Which oddly enough fixes the data and everything else.

It's a faster fix than restoring a backup of M5 or otherwise.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
I don't see the options that were stated...there is no "sync interval" in time settings. Mine are currently on "automatic" and I've also tried manual, both do the same thing. There is also no checkbox for the on wake option. At least I can't find it. It is not int he time settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nickel Dime Bay:

Thanks for the update, are you planning of replacing the tw milestone roms with the Serenity roms or will you continue to develop both versions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
I will develop both versions. In the mean time I am going to fix Serenity now. I know what's wrong with it and needs fixing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
Like asking for something means that you should instantly get it? What planet do you live on.. Lol... And to all the complainers.. There are bugs.. Ok fine get over it... No one said you had to stay on this Rom.

After learning how to set up clock sync correctly, I don't have data issues. Texts work fine. Few other bugs but they don't bother me.

Drew doesn't owe us a damn thing. Rather than spew negative statements that add nothing to this thread... Just moved on. No one cares if you won't use this or that Rom until it meets your standards. We all are aware of the problems.. You don't have to keep repeating them. Go flash something else and get on with your life
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
That's refers to the settings on the clock sync APP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FrankJL_:
Funny you said "Rather than spew negative statements that add nothing to this thread"

Yet this post by YOU! contributes nothing to the thread as well. Is just like the other 20 responses similar.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
I dont think that (enabling update on wake only) would help people that use their phones for meetings or alarms. I bet your texts would be all messed up, also.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
Ah, true... I don't know of any way to test that though. I do know the time is always right when I turn the screen on though. I also know my phone is going into deep sleep when the screen is off. It doesn't seem like the time is resetting itself when the screen is off, so far.

I've received a few texts just fine, too.

Edit: also, that refers to when the CPU is awake. Which is not necessarily limited to when the screen is on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
you are so witty - remind me that when I grow up I want to be just like you -- I appologize but I think you missed my point - I know It doesn't really matter - but point was - this rom is pretty cool - for a first release it is quite good - the fixes offered do a lot to make it very usable - - I was really trying to make a point to the guy that posted expecting that just because he said he wanted something - he should get it. LIke Drew owed it to him. there were other points I wanted to make - but like I said - it doesn't really matter - In the end, I am very happy with the ROM Drew gave us- it isn't perfect - they never are - but it is pretty damn cool - if someone doesn't like it - fine - dont clutter the thread with all those negative comments - I support this Dev - and the work he does - and I am grateful for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] biggggant:
Even with this app and the settings that you shared my time still resets its self every now and then and if the time is wrong it can and will screw up texts...I'm trying my best not to send texts right now lol

I flashed this in the morning before work without reading about the issues. I didnt know the time was off until I went to break almost 40 minutes early. I just laughed when I finally noticed my phone was trolling me :rolleyes: I just hope it wont be that way with my alarm in the morning! Awesome rom, just minor flaws.

Drew, I'm new to the AT&T SGS3 (came from Sprint, service was terrrrrrrible) and I'm really looking forward to this ROM. Milestone 5 was cool to play with but the T-Mobile leftovers made me itch a bit. Fantastic work, looking forward to more Serenity!

It might be me, but.....

I have just been using this latest release for a few hours and stumbled across a few issues. I am not sure what are the things you have on your "ToDo" list as it relates to Serenity but I have been getting "Unfortunately Email has stopped" whenever I try to open it and also get a similar message for "Favorites" when I open the phone app. It would be great if you already have it on your list or if you can suggest a possible fix/work-around. At least getting email is critical for this this to become my daily driver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john99teg:
I know alot of people are dirty flashing but this requires a full complete wipe because its on at&t based rom. previous has been tmobile or sprint. There are issues though such as syncing time and I still get android system being the priority of eating my battery. Camera and gallery is working perfect for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
I have not run into either of these issues and I use both email and the favorite in phone a lot. I will look into it. If I do see an issue I can put up the S III files in a cmw zip that you can flash on your phone in the UpdateMe app. Currently I don't mind swapping out the email from S III if I find an issue because they are practically the same however the SecPhone on the Gnote II has more features so I would like to keep that. Let me look into it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vorlan:
Could base be Cyanogen 10 + TOuchWix

Is it even doable, Drew?

I love Cyanogen. Very clean with very little issues. But it would be nice to see on CM 10 Samsung HDR Camera, Picasa, S-Memo.

So is it possible to merge Touchwiz framework with CM 10 ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pwned101:
I had the similar issue; and that happened when I did a dirty flash. If you do a clean install those errors would go off.

Hey drew, quick question. Is a gw fix coming for serenity? Also, I'm using ms5 now, set up and running. I down loaded serenity, just want to know if you think it's worth the clean flash.... let me know. Thanks

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rambo8987:
will you be addressing video popup issue as well?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
If you add clock sync from Play Store and set it up properly - it fixes it - I am sure Drew will be addressing that issue eventually - so maybe it doesn't matter - but I have been running this all day and since I set up Clock Sync correctly - I have not lost data once - I have not lost my time - the only issue I had was an FC on some obscure feature deep inside settings that I was curious about (that had to do with the SPEN from the NOTE) - but that I would never really need in the first place...I am sure there is more work to do - but this has been awesome for me anyway - hope you find a way to get it working for you -
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] megagodx:
