I consider myself a pretty obsessive flasher of most roms released on here. LOL!:laugh: but I have to admit that Beta 5 is probably the longest i've settled on any rom so far. I flashed a few other 4.2.2 releases and they just didn't have that same feel of stability. Other 4.2.2 roms drained the hell out of my battery, but no such thing here.:D Also appreciate your cool and calm responses to others who have questions or concerns about the rom. No Attitude, No Flaming just Cool and Calm.:) I hate reading thru some of these rom threads and it's ridiculous when every other response is someone flaming another member. No such thing here and it's truly appreciated. Keep up the great work Man.:good: Cheers!!:)

Is there any way to add any widgets we want to the lockscreen? Not only those from samsung. Or it's impossible?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
There are special lockscreen widgets for that.. (eg cLock or dash clock). Unfortunately it's not possible to add any widgets like ob cm..

One thing to all who are suffering on a not charging phone(explanation + fix):

It's a "2-part bug".. If the software detects an instable power supply it decreases the input in order to provide a stable power supply again.. But often this process ends up in a" decrease loop " and the input ends up somewhere at 200 ma/h which is very low -> the charging process lasts very long/the phone decharges while using it even if you're charging.. After the phone detects a stable power supply it makes an additional "safety marging" of 100 ma/h.

On 4.1 we had custom kernels (eg perseus, I don't know if others have this option too) to disable that instable power detection ->the phone won't go in that loop.. Of course a bit risky but it worked just fine.

The other part of the bug is the crappy stock charger which often supplies unstable power -> phone often doesn't charge. That's why some are suffering from a non charging phone and some don't.. So changing the charger will solve that issue.. Eg after using my old S1 charger again the phone charges up in ~2 hours while it often just stopped charging when I used my normal s3 charger..

Maybe this clears the things up a little bit ;) (original technical explanation was by "hellsgod" from a German forum)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Absolutely correct, as long as unstable current is detected, charging rate will be lowered by a 100mA/h step until it hits a stable level.

So changing the "bad crappy" stock charger (and cable !!) is the way to go, rather than to disable protection mechanisms, imho.

A power supply should always provide a proper stable current, if it doesn't, that's the thing to fix (= replace) as that's the thing that's broken in the first place !

I never went into that trouble myself by pure chance, because I kept my htc Sensation charger in place when I got my S3 (too lazy to change it) and it had a longer cable which came in handy ;)

Hi

Can someone please confirm that the V20 betas have stopped now and that the "V20 Final Leaked Download" is the final stable V20 to get for those of us who dont want to keep changing ROMs ? (thread title still says beta)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Technically it's a final beta as it's still based on a leak... but yeah, flash it - it's awesome :)

Swyped from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 4 beta.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Charging problem is mainly from kernel.

As you both correct point charging with a crappy charger or detect an unstable power supply is something that kernel handle it so is a kernel bug not fw.

Especially yank knows better than everyone else, that sources needed for taking out of this crappy kernel but so far this is the only we have and we cannot do anything else except wait.

So better if someone dont want this bug to go back to 4.1.2

There are no "anoying" bugs in a rom that is leaked and not official......

yes it stopped till official release...

I experienced this just last night. Charged from 11pm to 5am, 20% to 61% only. I got frustrated since I experienced this before I replaced my "bad" charging cable. THis is the first time happened since I got a new cable. Now I dont know what causes the problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Problem is in stock kernel and crappy chargers that mess battery staus.

Cleaning battery status file will not solve problem.

So far the only you can do if you experience the same after pull and re insert usb cable, is to press in your dialer *#0228# press quick start and charge it till full...

thanks sotmax. appreciate your work and concern. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
In the new version there isn't an s3 launcher in aroma.

I found a s4 launcher modded to be 5x5 but replacing that with the one in this rom causes systemUI to close.

I've managed to get my old s3 4x6 touchwiz to work but I lose the option to have the accuweather widget. Restoring the old weather widget along with the above 4x6 s3 touchwiz causes systemUI errors.

My knowledge is limited to putting a app in the system app folder and it installs on next boot (with correct permissions of course)

I've tried wiping data of touchwiz, cache and dalvik in recovery.

I've got a feeling something somewhere else is not compatible with these touchwiz launchers I'm putting on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aizamev:
the fix is not working. status bar still not became transparent.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Philips9:
Hello guys,

only a noob information:

during installation wich means for "Lock in memory"(withelist(?) and lock in memory your launcher)?

thx in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FrankyDoodle:
You will have to set a wallpaper from the stock package.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aizamev:
on that case, it already work without the fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Basically when the device is low in memory it clears old programs that are in the memory to free up that memory.

This option locks the launcher in the memory so it cannot be removed from memory.

If you have noticed a delay from exiting an app and your home screen appearing when using a big game (for example) then this will help because it forces the system to remove other apps from memory.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Philips9:
So you advice me to select this tweak during installation right?

This tweak remove the booring refresh of widget in home screen after a heavy usage (e.s internet, gaming, ecc...), right?

This is "pro" of this tweak, while "contro" is that some app will close before to prevent home recharge?

I'm right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Yes. That is my understanding of how it works (after reading umpteen threads on the subject)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djseaneq:
Sorted my charging and battery problems the problem was google chrome dunno why as soon as i get rid of chrome from memory my phone started charging normally i've read somewhere about syncing tabs maybe causing the problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Basically yes. But at the end if system needs more ram it will clise everything as it should be.

Lock in mem option is "light effect".

"Heavy effect" can be done from framework but i m not advising it with stock kernel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Thats absolutely true and read it somewhere 2 hours ago while i do some small research.

Clearing chrome data probably solve this problem.

I also adising you to use once *#0228# and immidiately recharge till full...

) ) ) over the air on GN2 ( ( (
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Unfortunately no.

Widget refreshbis deferent from launcher refresh.

If we lock everything in memory tye system will start to lock up because of low mem state..

Good Job sotmax. I love ur ROM. very great and stock clean.

waiting for the official release. moreover is official release the same as FINAL v20 or is it the new official release version?

One more problem ... some times the screen hangs a bit just before attending the incoming call... not able to see the caller for a few seconds. Is this normal?

can u rectify sd card auto unmount that happens when we switch on the screen and unlock.

Looking forward for your reply and help... rest of all the BEST of the BEST rom for our S3. u r really rocking.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
I hope this is not what I think, but when this started happening to me previously on an unrelated rom, a few days later my external SDCard died!

So I would suggest backup everything on external card to PC and format card and copy everything back to it and see if the problem persists.

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

My card does not auto unmount when switching the screen on and unlocking.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
sd card unmount dont happened here my friend.

Have you use hardswap sometime in the past?

Try to backup your contents and format your sd.

As very correct mention above those are pre-dead sd signs.

For the hang in cal yes....this a fw bug to be honest.

Caused by many things. One is the memory management and the other is garbage in framework.

We have to wait official release for this...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marjanot:
For those who don't like TW redraws and don't want to spare their RAM usage with TW, try Smart Launcher

It's lite, easy on RAM and for me really cool. It automatically sorts games, utilities, communication apps etc. You can hide status bar if you want and with pro version you can also add widgets. I know that there are already Apex, Nova, Nemus (also really good one), but this one wasn't mentioned in this thread and I find it good and easy to use.

Accu weather widget was irritating me because of random redraws and not updating weather as it should (I'm always on-line and it happend for it not to refresh for 2 hours and was set at 30min, or 1h). So I find Android Weather & Clock Widget. It is customizable, can be full transparent or not, it has different widgets and it refresh the weather as it should.

Cheers :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
No problem. I think it helps when you help people rather than "search for the answer yourself"

It's that kind of response which makes it harder to find the answer people need.

Recently I had a problem with my windows 7. I searched Google and the majority of the replies were "search the forum" and "Google is your friend"

People who take the time to post the above comments could just as easily provide the help requested rather than go out of their way to be unhelpful.

That's why this thread is awesome. People help, or at least point in the right direction. Which then creates a much more friendlier environment.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
I've tried this (*#0228#) yesterday evening, but it didn't change anything. There's a problem with battery consumption of Android OS i think.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
On my old galaxy s1 running 4.2.2 (pac rom) whenever I saw that the fix was to turn the phone off, remove the battery, and then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. You then re insert The battery and turn on the phone.

Not sure what it does but it definitely worked. Also I don't know if it will work for the s3 but it could be worth a shot.

Maybe a good idea would be to charge to 100%, then follow my instructions above but boot into recovery and wipe battery stats before booting the phone.

Like I said though that was a fix for my galaxy s1 but it's surely worth a shot?
