hello,

Please add AOSP messaging app to DG Update app. The TW messaging app is the ugliest pos Ive ever seen.

I have attached the mms.apk from the latest cm10 nightly. It includes quick messaging popup and I can confirm that it works!

Instructions to do it manually:

I used to hate the TW messaging theme but i have actually grown to like it a bit. I do wish it had the popup messaging though...

Bluetooth audio stream silent

Drew.

1.1 ROM is fantastic. The only major issue I found so far is streaming music over bluetooth audio produces no sound at all. No matter where I connect to: Car, PC bluetooth. Just silence.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
If you want to keep stock TW messaging app, get SMS popup (however, no expandable notifications or contact pictures in the notification:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sIm5ldC5ldmVyeXRoaW5nYW5kcm9pZC5zbXNwb3B1cCJd

Im just a stickler with holo guidelines and Samsung is the worst at following them. The messaging app and dialer look like it came from froyo or gingerbread (they probably did). Makes my stomach churn to see how ugly android used to be

Are there any links to show what each of the themes looks like in the Update Me app? Also is there a way to adjust the status bar/battery mod/center clock options? Thank you! Trying out the Moto theme, really like it!

Just noticed voice commands do not work.

I tried using the voice commands on camera, music player and when recieving a call.

The voice actions are not working for me.

Matter of fact : i just tried svoice - it opens goes to listening mode - i say a command it recognises it but then just goes back

the default - say "hi galaxy to wake me up"

voice is not working. I tried with google now as well and it samething it actually hears me process but then nothing is displayed just goes back to listening

Hey guys I have a problem, I have android system battery drain its eating up my battery.

First I want to say I dont have acces to a PC until tonight, and I cant seem to be abke to search from this app. Im sure this has been posted before and probably solved. I hardly ever post in any thread without doing research because 98% of the time its been answer.

With thay said, does anyone know what I can do to fix it? Im running Firefly not Serenity. I did a fresh wipe clean install 2 times already and nothin ive also fixed permissions.

If I was home I wouldnt be posting this question.

Thanks in advance ..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lexxa83:
Same here on v 1.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Yeah, Android System is eating up more than Screen. There are a lot of processes running. Mostly AT&T and Samsung bloat.

You could use TiBu or similar app to freeze apps that are safe to freeze (you'll know if you froze something you shouldn't have when things start going weird on you).

Or try Power Saving mode and see if that helps. I'm going to try that myself and see if it improves.

But overall I don't think battery life is too bad given all the bloat that's included. I'm at 59% after 5 hours with just over 1.5 hours of Screen On time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
Thats been a known issue in these JB leaks. Some will say that you have a rogue app, thats not the case. I had the stock ICS installed with the exact same apps, battery would last for a full or two days with moderate usage. Installed Firefly M4 and M5, installed the same apps, and android system eats up my battery. I'm lucky to make it through a work day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zecstone:
Word perdiction

Does this rom support spelling and word prediction?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Please post Screen On time as well. Battery stats mean little without it.

But 10+ hours and still at 65% doesn't seem too bad to me.

EDIT: Also, for anyone trying to address battery issues, please see drewgaren's tips here (as posted in OP): http://drewgaren.com/DrewGaren.com/S_III_JB_Tips.html

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gotnoypi:
One thing I noticed on the Serenity ROM is that I'm having Wifi Connected Notification always on. Is there a way to turn it off?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g0d4lm1ty:
This has already been mentioned, but, I will repeat it..

1st. Battery drain issues after a new flash are often due to resync. This also causes high data usage if you are not on Wi-Fi. As recommended, drain battery, wipe stats and try again. Also know that boat can cause this so use update me app to remove bloatware. It's not removed automatically as many love touch wiz, and would rather remove boat as we wish.

2nd. Disable force gpu rendering in developers menu as this is the biggest culprit of the system resources using battery. I'm great with battery life in serenity. I am surprised as this is a port.

After you do all of this, get it charged to 100% then use and see how battery life is....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
So far I think this is the best jellybean ROM I've used. Yes, it still has a battery leak but I can't complain, 4 1/2 hours (Only 20 minutes of screen time and about 10 minutes of phone calls, text, a few word games) and I'm still at 90%. For me that is great battery life.

Also the rest of the ROM has been fast/stable... awesome! so much better than the initial Serenity download yesterday!

Thanks,

Drew
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lexxa83:
The icon is always there no matter whether I'm in lte area or not. This is another thing that needs to be fixed.

To Drew:

Another thing I have noticed is that swype feature in stock Samsung keyboard not function in this Rom, though it did in previous ones. Could you fix it off possible?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daver68:
I just got a SGS3 and have been shopping around for a good JB ROM to try out first. When I saw Firefly and Serenity in your titles, I just knew this had to be the first one.

This should tide me over until the proper JB TW ROM is out from Samsung.

Shiny!

Some screenies with moto theme and initial battery.

As you can see, deep sleep seems to be working just fine.

The lock screen shortcut FC forced me to use widget locker, which presented me with a new bug. The home button exits the app (a la galaxy s2). Enabling root helper and home helper fixes the issue but makes it flicker super ugly like when you press home either on the lock screen or home screen.

What does this bug have to do with you, Drew? Nothing really.

Do I expect you to fix it? Nope sure don't.

I just calls em like I sees em.

Nice ROM!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lexxa83:
Did you freeze any apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrored:
After following normal instructions and upgrading from Serenity v1 to v1.1 along with formatting system, I still had the lockscreen shortcut force close issue.

But more worrying is the fact that the camera was again stuck on the bug of only zooming in from 1.0 to 4.0. So, I flashed the Samsung Camera Mod from the UpdateMe app in recovery + fixed permissions.

When I rebooted, 13 pictures that I had taken with the original camera that came with the rom were corrupted and all black. Its not just the gallery app because QuickPic can't see them either/they just appear black. Even pictures taken with the Camera Mod have now become black/corrupted. :eek

Edit: Just flashed Stock Camera from UpdateMe app + fixed permissions. Now I have the dreaded zooming bug again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smeatr0n:
Yeah. Just a few of the bloaty stupid ones tho. Not much. Also disabled force GPU rendering and don't backup/restore anything to Google like mentioned above and looks decent.

Will take a couple days before we can truly see what battery potential is like.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kamandor:
I know Drew continues to use the Galaxy Note 2 camera and gallery, but I really feel the Stock Camera is the way to go to avoid issues in future releases. I think some apps are best remaining the original phone's versions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrored:
Stock Camera from UpdateMe app isn't helping. Do you know of another one that I can try using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kamandor:
Hmmm... I flashed the Stock Camera and that fixed my issues. Did you flash the Stock Camera through CWM/TWRP?

FYI I am running Milestone 5, but about to flash Serenity 1.1. Hopefully I don't have these issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrored:
I downloaded the Stock Camera from the UpdateMe app, booted into CWM recovery, flashed it, fixed permissions, rebooted, cleared data on Camera & Gallery, then opened up the camera and saw the bug still present
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kamandor:
That's no good! Gah. Seems like something is corrupted deep inside somewhere. Are you restoring/did you restore anything from Titanium Backup that might have corrupted anything? I hate to recommend a full-wipe, clean install but that may be the best next option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrored:
I only restored missing apps + data, nothing related to system apps. I've had this bug multiple times in the past since running Drew's ROMs and I've always practiced clean wiping, following his instructions correctly, and never restoring system data/apps (Not hating on Drew. His commitment is bar none. I just want to fix this problem.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lexxa83:
I see. Will.try without restoring. I always used go backup though on Sprint leak there was no problem.

Will try clean. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cheesemuffins:
Same thing with my phone. A small 4G in the upper left corner. I'm with Rogers and fixed the apn so I don't know what's wrong. Same thing happened when I tried out CM10 though. Not too bothered about it.

Loaded the ROM up and it's been running great! Only issue I found is when trying to change the kernel.

Figured I'd try out Ktoonez latest JB kernel builds but it didn't work. Suspect that the information about this ROM having a base of I317UCALI6 might not be correct. Might want to update that info on the OP so other don't run into the same problem. ;)

Yikes batman...so many complaints in a 24 hour period. I will wait this out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
It only seems that way because people aren't searching the thread before posting. Most of the complaints are the same, and, more importantly, they are all being addressed by the dev. I'm extremely pleased with this rom (v1.1) and am staying on it until the next update (unless my buddy MOD1441 releases a NexusMod update...).

Nothing to fear here. Clean install (wipe data/cache, format system, wipe Dalvic), and you should be good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] salazar44:
Totally agree...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
Ok I dont have any complaints. I do not experience the same issues as any of the others. In fact my phone is working almost perfectly. Bluetooth streams all audio to anything paired perfectly fine. Setting wall papers works just fine. I have one issue unless it's just a user error :confused: and two other things I just cant seem to find out how to do.

First thing my issue is I am an avid user of the Movements and Gestures. There is one Gesture I just cannot get to work properly and that is Quick Glance. I can get it to work in the try it section of the Motion Settings but I cannot actually get this to function otherwise and yes it's enabled.

First thing I can't figure out is how the hell do I add my Native Sip info back on this phone? ICS it used to be going in to the Call Settings but now I cannot find it there. What do I do. If the Drew took this out can I throw you a donation to put it back in like today? This is a very important thing for me to have as this is how I answer my business line because I'm always on the run on jobs and such and need this so I can identify business calls from regular calls.

Second thing I can't figure out is that i cannot get the damn music app to fully shutdown without force closing it. I used to in ICS open the music app and hit the back button till im fully out and then it was closed (When I say closed I mean there is no Pause Button in the Notification Bar). But now no matter what I do it stays there unless I force close. Is there a special way to close this application?

DREW--- I want to say thanks for the hard work. I know how difficult it can be when trying to provide what everyone wants and only seeing complaints everywhere and then complaints when you don't answer quick enough. That's why I have developed a ROM for Android in the past year or so. Just wanna say Thanx and don't let the bullsh** stop you from pushing this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Please don't take this as trolling, but if you searched the thread with the word "kernel" you would have found this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32602008&postcount=2722 "KT47 kernel will not work on serenity."

Also, given that ktoonsez's post has a warning about how the kernel can bork your wifi and bluetooth if going back to stock, seems like flashing the kernel without knowing if it was safe may have been a risky move (a fixable one, but who needs the headache).

Firefly & Serenity ICS???

I downloaded both the Firefly and Serenity1.1 roms from the ATT links (not the mirrors) on DrewGaren.com, and installed each.

Both times, I end up with an ICS UI after reboot. The screens I get are nothing like the screenshots on DG.com.

I thought this was supposed to be a JB UI???

I'm on an ATT SGH-1747M UCLEM

I previously had the JB747_M3_PLUM_DG-917.zip installed and it worked GREAT!

After using JB... ICS is completely stone-age stuff....Can anyone give me some idea of what's up?

Thanks a bunch.

DG - you are a BEAST with this stuff!! Much admiration for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vorlan:
For me this is not the answer, because I use DSPManager a lot and it makes music alive. If this is a reason, then thanks no for 1.1. And I actually back to ICS for now. Battery issue even after everything is synced. Went down from 100 to 80% in 30 minutes, just streaming music. where in ICS it took 4 hours.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
Did you remember to wipe Dalvick Cache and Cache partitions. Also How did you install?

I personally used Mobile Odin Pro by Chainfire to Flash the ROM and yes Mobile Odin will flash CWM update.zip files. I prefer this method because I prefer to keep stock recovery over the CWM because whenever I use CWM I end up with issues. If you use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the ROMs it basically makes sure everything is done properly.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
As a result of your post I looked into this more on Serenity 1.1. I have not had any issue launching apps or calling people. The files are the exact same as the S III jellybean, the voicetalk file is different but uses the same files to operate it. I have not run into any issues. This may be one of those device issues. However if SVoice doesn't work for you Google Now always should and I have not had any issue which does not make any sense that it would work for you. Try update Google Search from the Play Store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rotary Parts:
the screen shots are right. this is the offical G-note 2 release as stated in OP. so it is a Samsung jelly bean port so hence touch Wiz and ics look not an ASOP look.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tjinjer:
Thanks for the reply... I'm still very much a Noob in understanding all of the different possibilities for this stuff.

I have the CWMrecovery installed, and have successfully used it numerous times. I've not tried Mobile Odin; however, have used the PC Odin. I did wipe all caches and did a factory wipe/reset 3x.

There's another recovery I tried (can't remember the name...TWM or something similar) that I did not understand and did not like. I've scared the hell outta myself a few times thinking I bricked and went thru great stress to get it back running.

Since posting my previous message, I restored a backup that I had from an earlier install of Plum JB rom. Now I have the JB UI and it "seems" to be working.... how all this stuff works together is still an enigma to me.....and I read ALOT of stuff on here. Will keep plugging away at it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Draelith:
Whoa now, I wasn't wasting anyone time nor did I ask for any help or cry about bricking my phone (I always do backups prior to kernel flash for quick restores). I'm well aware of the risks involved with flashing a kernel. :angel:

Was just pointing out there was incorrect information in the OP about the base for Serenity is all. I was able to find the true base in the About Device section (I747UCLH9).

Drew is doing a great job and I have some time to play around, but use this ROM and a daily driver is not working yet.

Stock rooted ICS ROM vs any other ROM including Drew's and CM10

Stock - Solid connection over WiFi and LTE/3/4G with no hiccups

1.1 and CM10 - connections slows down even on WiFi to 100/200 kb/s after intensive use (music streaming)

Stock - battery lasts for 10-16 hours while streaming music

1.1 and CM10 - battery lasts only 4-6 hours.

Stock - no issues with Bluetooth using DSPManager

1.1 - silence, CM10 - no issues;

Everything else in 1.1 I loved.

If 1.2 could address these issues than I will stay in JB. I am OK with ICS. The only thing I am missing from JB is GoogleNow. I do not see anything else different, honestly.
