I've been shying away from kernels myself. The rom and code are updated way too frequently in my eyes for the kernel devs to truly be in the loop and up to date. So, far I have tried personally the ktoonz kernel, result: frightening! The lean kernel, result: Phone wasnt sleeping properly. As for the trinity kernel, those are my favorite kernels, but I havent seen anything new outta morfic lately, I guess he's waiting for a stable version.

Which in my eyes is when all these bugs can get squashed. We're too busy bringing the new and keeping up to date that maintenance gets overlooked. I'm waiting for an rc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stacio88:
That happened to me also when using nova. For some reason nova doesn't stretch the wallpaper enough so it ends short at the bottom. I just switch to the stock launcher. I've gotten used to not having the extra features.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
I noticed benchmarking was Joe but the experience was nothing to what those benchmarks said. There was 2 benchmark that did worry me though as I got a 1240 on quadrant...yeah I know that's what I said. And another was <3000. This was due to lean kernel though. Cpu1 permanently slept and would not turn on. With ktoonez new kernel I get 5600 at most running at 2.1 Ghz

Then anytime you click and hold the power button for more than a second or two, your power menu will pop up and have "Screenshot" as an option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s13epy:
Ok so in call volume is loud I like it but not all the time lol.

And lowering the volume doesn't work with the buttons or the on screen controls.

Hopefully this issue gets resolved. No other problems to report so far. Running 2.51 stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
I'm having the same issue with loud in call volume too. The problem didn't come up in 2.23. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm on stock pa kernel or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s13epy:
Well that's weird. My friends on 2.23 and he has the same issue as me. :(

I really like the loudness but not for an extended call you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kvnly2:
First of all, this is an amazing rom. Thank you dev's for all your hard work! I just sold my one s and my wifes s2 and we both upgraded to the s3's.

I have read a good chunk of this thread to know which is the best and now I would like to ask all of you on how you have your s3 running this rom set up. Such as

which kernel do you recommend?

any mods to increase battery life?

My wife's phone drains at an alarming rate but I am still in the middle of finding out what app is draining it so much. Thank you all for our help!:D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
You have done good my friend. Are both s3's running custom Roms? Well I am having the same problem with the battery drain. I'm assuming its some s3 s that have that problem. Not all. My battery life is horrendous compared to others here. Now for kernel, ktoonez kernel is great. Options for over clock up to 2.1ghz and there is an undervolting table there. As far as tweaks for batt life, idk really. They are usually incorporated in ROMs and kernels.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
i think it was a recent change in the rom. or cm merges. because when i was on 2.23 i had amazing battery 8 hours screen on time, and now i'm on 2.51 and i am 38% with one 1h and 38min. i think i'm reverting back to 2.23 since i don't really care much for the navbar color. yeah its cool but i'm not sacrificing battery for some aesthetic. and before everyone tries to question my logic. i'm on my 4 cycle so battery should have already settled. i have a correct download,md5 checked out. i upgraded from goo.which counts as a dirty flash. hmm maybe thats it. ill try a fresh install of only 2.51 and give it 4 cycles as well. if not i'm going back to 2.23
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
I think 2.52 is out, when do you think you will be able to put it up OG? Take your time no worries, I know you've been busy lately at work. I was just wondering and it doesn't have to be an exact date but just an estimate :p as I have not upgraded to 2.51 :o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kvnly2:
thank you haha. Yea, both are running ParanoidAndroid 2.51 with all inverted Gapps. Both also have the latest Tmobile Galaxy S3 UVLJ4 Modems.

I have also set the profile on set cpu to run between 384 - 1026 MHz when the screen is off so its not running at full speed when the screen is off.

I have also set all her sync's that are not priority to a minimum such as her weather, facebook and other apps to sync only when opened so they arent' syncing constantly or multiple times a day even if my wife doesnt use them.

But Ill give ktoonez kernel a try to see if that helps. Thanks a lot for the suggestion!

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

The dirty flash could be it. A lot of dev's say not to do it cause it creates strange issues. Please let us know how the results are for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] omar300:
I got S3 when it came out and used CM9 and CM10 for most part, Paranoid Rom has been out for very long but i never used it, just because it was slow.

BUT NOW this rom is fast! and i was tired of the simple cm10 looks.

kernel? you should use KT747 kernel, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871946 .

dont use any mod, keep the phone clean, its best way to save battery. modify the setting though setcpu app to use less frequency. and lower frequency when screen is shut. Dont undervolt, its very unstable.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

Ok just checked thanks to you. Yea they added alot of colour options to notification bar. Its exciting. Give OG some time. Wait will be worth it :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yayitsthatkid:
So regarding battery life on 2.50. Is it something to do with a difference between the base of 2.23 and 2.5? Or should I flash it again. I was getting awesome battery life on 2.23 then it shot down and I couldn't figure out why.

Also something I noticed while on 2.50 I was inside and my phone was saying I was getting H+ but nothing was loading (browser,twitter feed, xda). But once I left the building, it still said H+ and everything was fine again.

But anyway I just wanted to thank you OG for your great work! This is a great ROM you got and everyone that has it is so friendly and helpful! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxelRoldos:
I experienced a random reboot today. Wasn't even doing anything aside from playing my music. I ran a fixed permissions, let's see if that does anything.

Anyway, I've come with a request. Generally, I stay away from 3rd party launchers. AOKP was stock and it was perfect. However, I really want to change icons, because I think the stock Google ones are hideous -_- PA already uses a 3rd party... so I may as well just make the jump. Anyone have any suggestions of launchers that will give me the same experience as stock and also allow me to change the icons?

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I think that the image gets darkened or something when we apply it as a wall paper. Of you slide the little slider so it looks like those checkered spaces you see in Photoshop in the center, I've found that it matches the darkened image and status bar seamlessly melds with the wallpaper.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twism50:
I use nova, picked it up during the quarter sale at the play store. There is a free version but it doesn't allow for gestures, and I prefer to double tap to open my app drawer as opposed to having an icon. Apex allows for gestures and themes in it's free version. It looks and runs like stock. I'd recommend trying it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
I also use nova launcher myself. I've used probably all of them too. I was with apex launcher for a good while, got curious, and haven't looked back yet! I tried to use tsf shell but maybe its gonna take a little longer to grow on me or maybe not.

Aside from the few random reboots I've seen posted and other the little odds and ends, the ROM is proving to be quite stable.

There is just one thing that has been irritating me, I'll use Apollo just fine, then all of a sudden outta nowhere, it'll just force close when next trying to use. I then have to clear the data for it and it'll start working again. But by doing this, all my playlists are erased, which is really an inconvenience. Anyone else experience this? And or what music app do you guys use? Thanks a bunch!

O and update coming today! :D version 2.52...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seksmeup:
I use poweramp, which provides a lot more features. I end up having to uninstall Apollo every time I flash a new version because it interferes with my headset controls.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pens and DreamS:
I truly love this rom OG! Thanks for the continuous updates. I hope it will keep being this way. To show my appreciation I will be donating this Friday once pay check's received. Awesome work.

I too use PowerAmp. And sometimes face the issue that the lockscreen controls won't show. But it's minimal. The most present issue are the ones mentioned about torche toggle and the alarm not sounding at first. But managed with work around.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
I also use Apollo once in a while. Only problem Is that I get an FC when interacting with the widget, other than that it is fine. :thumbup:

Change log for 2.52? Wondering if MHL is working, it was on 2.23 but not on 2.51
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
I bought poweramp. Its much better than others and its Sound feature rich and in my opinions, its makes sound quality much much better (on my bluetooth headsets) and also, apt x makes my music sound awesome. I use many .flac files instead of .mp3 and pair that with apt-x that my headsets and the S3 have with poweramp. Music from heaven! much louser tracks, more desinct sound of intruments its just heavenly. Dont get me started on friking .flac skrillex music. I was stunned!! anyway, yeah i use poweramp. :victory:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nonmindo:
Hold power and volume down for 2 seconds
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jelly419:
Is the in-call volume still loud? and if so, is there any way to fix it? I have tried to push volume down in the call, to no avail. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
Just made a few calls and it seems like it's fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seksmeup:
Anyone know if torch toggle is fixed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
Nope. Still the same. Works fine if you use the work arounds other users posted.

Taken from PA website:

2.50-2.52 changelog

-Per app color, latest PA invention, Let's you define navbar color, navbar glow color, navbar buttons color, and statusbar color on per app basis.

-Statusbar and navbar color (Independently from per app color, define default colors)

-Statusbar transparency and navbar transparency are finally back (Navbar transparency is only enabled on launcher)

-Toggles color scheme

-A lot of fixes to ParanoidPreferences
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Davidion:
Correct; straight from the first post.

Ahh well, will experiment more with it later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mysticfrog:
did you flash kernel right after you flashed the rom... thats what i did

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

one more thing did u preform a full wipe before installing the rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Davidion:
I did both.

The rom works fine, it's only after I flash the kernels do problems appear.

Like I said, I wouldn't worry about it. It seems like something particular to my phone and I'll ask again if I really can't get anywhere with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eboy44:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] molemusprime:
So I'm guessing this is more of a CM10 issue than a PA issue but when using Navigation I get voice navigation saying the exact same thing that has nothing to do with the directions i'm getting even though the direction list and map are perfectly correct. Any body else?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] danielrod:
Yeah I got that too, just uninstall then reinstall maps to fix that.

ive got a question those buttons that are on the screen that are from the google nexxus........how do you get to there in settings?? ive done it last build but i cant find them now... where are they located..

**nevamind found it***
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
As far as custom kernels go guys, I would just stay away from them for now. From what I've been reading and seeing in my repo, cyanogen is implementing many kernel commits! This means every time cm10 updates and I sync my repo, which is like everyday, that all custom kernels would be behind the stock kernel! Besides, cyan has got the stock kernel on steroids or something ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikehizzle:
I agree with this. I was using custom kernels with cm10 and seeing improvement for awhile but after flashing 2.10 of this ROM, I noticed the stock kernel was much smoother (than before and better than custom kernels).

OGWisdom - To answer the question on how often I would like updates, I agree that you should first do what is best for you and your time. With that said, I love trying new stuff as soon as possible and for me there could never be too many updates.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
I dont use skype or oovoo, so I wouldnt know. I know there have been some inconsistencies with some apps not working properly in jellybean yet. Prime example was netflix. From what I here now, it works, So maybe Cyanogen just needs to point his attention to them to see whats up. But, it might not be anytime soon as he is still working hard to bring cm10 to stable status.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] madrrio:
ill keep this in mind, i been using lean kernel just to try and get alittle more battery out, but i got no problem trying stock out for a while,

thanks for all your work sir.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mysticfrog:
Yeah totally agree i just flashed 2.10 decided to leave lean kernel out of the mix this time.. I dont care for speed test are anything but i do run them just to see and stock is pretty damn fast...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] seksmeup:
How is the battery life, though? I've been getting ridiculously good battery life with morphic's Trinity kernel and being behind of the latest updates is a hit I'd be willing to take if it's a significant difference in battery. Honestly, unless there's some major bugfix in one of the kernels, our phone is already smooth enough that I don't see any difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mysticfrog:
You know what i dont get is why arent there like more people on this rom..

Im a nurse and this rom is like everything i want for what i need.. the mid tablet mode is great.. the email setup is soo user friendly.. the accessibility of each program is fluid and butta..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
You know Mystic, I don't know. I myself the love the rom! To me, stock dpi is just a little too big. And some apps just seem a little big too. I love the idea the pa team has created and shared with the community. I may very well never want any other rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mysticfrog:
Quadruple thanks to you!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikehizzle:
I personally love:

- split screen and lower dpi on email apps (email (160dpi and 600px) and gmail (210dpi and 600px))

- split screen and lower dpi (160dpi and 720px) in settings

- lower dpi (280) on status bar

- lower dpi (280) on lock screen

- Calendar app at 210dpi and 600px (week view is especially awesome)

- YouTube at 190dpi and 720px

- tablet browser (250dpi and 600px)

- tablet Nook app (190dpi and large screen active, WAY better imo)

- lowering most apps (Phone, Messaging, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, XDA app, Twitter, Facebook, Evernote, etc.) to 260dpi

The greatest thing, though, is that even if you only want to change ONE app, you can, and can leave everything else stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
I may have to give this a try.

I had a Galaxy Nexus prior and I thought this was really cool. I had planned to attempt to build and release this myself, eventually, but you beat me to it :)

haha thats always good to get a head start on trick or treating its fine take your time thank you for your work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cuban Cigar:
Hey. Maybe it was my luck, but i haven't go any reboot or nothing funny. It's all working great. I must say that i always flash this way. THIS IS NOT WHAT OGwisdom said AND i strongly reccommend to ask him before doing this.

When i come from another rom i always flash everything twice. Including data, system and INTERNEAL SD CARD. ALL TWICE. (maybe is a waist of time but it never failed for me)

Then flash rom the way OGWisdom said. I never flash two things at the same time.Reboot and let it seat, then follow OG steps..... And always wipe cache and dalvic before and after any kernel flash and fix permission.

good luck.

What is the best way to update todays release?

Should i wipe cache/dalvik cache partition???

Or should i dirty flash???????

Thanks OG

nvm it seems link is up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
I've got 3 mirrors going right now bro, but thanks! But the main one is goo! As long as you've installed 2.50, ota updates will work from here out for you!

Matter of fact, is everyone being alerted by goo?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theboss23:
I alerted me, loving 2.52 btw thanks!:D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pens and DreamS:
Alerted and installed through Goo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
i got the alert from goo and installed i was just asking cause some people were saying the goo was going to slow for them and i didn't know where you were at with the mirrors still ahead of of me it seems lol. OG came back with a vengeance lol :highfive:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kvnly2:
Woo update! thanks OG for all the hard work! Whats the best way to apply this update if im running 2.23 still?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jelly419:
Cool. The in call volume being too loud was really the only thing keeping me from using this ROM. I'll give it another shot. I'll report back soon.

They call me "Jelly" cuz jam don't shake like this!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
And you know this Loki! ;)

ALSO, FOUND A FIX FOR THE IN CALL VOLUME!! While on the call, pull the phone away from your face until the screen comes back on, adjust the volume accordingly and that should do it!! And it seems from then on out, you can adjust whenever you want to. Hopefully it works for all having problems with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayassine:
when i changed the navigation bar button color to red it shows up blue after i applied it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
Yea, i'm still a lil confused using this per app color thing myself. Keep at it, what I always say!

Also for what app did you change navigation bar button color? You gotta remember, you might as well not set the color under settings/system/navigation bar because every app has their own settings! You may have set the color in there, but then you go to your launcher (which should be in apps) and its navigation bar is set to default. Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s13epy:
I got so excited to see the Goo notification update lol updating soon.

I'll try this fix for call volume and post results. Thanks for the hard work. (:

I would love to try out this rom, cm10, aokp, or any other non-touchwiz rom, but the usb connection issue keeps me away.. MTP doesn't connect or anything... Maybe this is a known issue thats been stated, but I searched and found nothing. Im new to the S3, came from the MyTouch 4G lol.. No MTP or PTP connections there. Just plain mass storage. Im running the touchwiz rom on jellybean just because it connects to my computer via usb :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OGWisdom:
Yea, MTP does suck!! Big time! It is really my only gripe with aosp, but then again, with the s3 they did away with mass storage completely. So, now the question is whats your argument here? I've had a similar problem you are describing. Connect to the pc and it doesnt connect, unconnect, reconnect. Still nothing. Try rebooting your computer and phone. And if all else fails, just pull your micro sd out and mount to the pc through usb or sd card slot with adapter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
that happens all the time usually its just a random plug in. if i just unplug it and replug it a few times it comes backs, but if not i just reinstall the drivers it takes like 5 secs. and i have having to do the sd card trick because i have a ballistic case on my phone and that takes longer than 5 secs to take off and put back in lol
