A little searching in this thread will show that there is a post with "Battery tips" (hint hint, search suggestion) that gives a possibility for getting DRASTICALLY improved battery life and has been tested with this ROM. The post has also received a few thanks, so I'm guessing that it has worked fairly well for others too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gatoremt:
Thanks I will do so reading.

Looks like I will have A LOT of reading ahead of me. LOL Sorry for posting about it again :o

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
It's cool. If my battery tips post helps, you should give it some thanks so that more people will read it and that way less people will complain about battery life. :) And next time, should do at least some light searching before posting a problem. That way there isn't a ton of spam about one thing :cyclops: .

Yooooo I thought 1.3 was supposed to come out early in the last week?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleguy1976:
Drew is working on 3 different projects for quite a large selection of devices. I'd say it's fair to expect snags and delays along the way.

What I love about his ROMs is that he releases them with very few bugs, so if we have to wait a little longer, I'm fine with that! Let him work his magic at his own pace. I'm betting it'll be worth the wait :D

Thanks Drew!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
Still wondering if someone would be kind enough to download the multiview zip from the Update me app and give me the list of the files inside. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleguy1976:
I'd help, but I'm not running serenity currently... I know you asked a number of days ago. Why not just do a quick flash of serenity yourself and extract the necessary files?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
Because Drew's servers have been killing me when it comes to downloading.... Sigh... I guess I will just have to suck it up. Just thought me asking would be easier. Thanks.

I see the posting on this ROM is still active. Question: why would anyone dive so deep in a ported ROM? I mean, the kernel source is out and there are so many jb stock roms available.

I'm just curious...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
What do you mean by "why would anyone dive so deep in a ported ROM?"

I personally like this ROM because I enjoy all of the features that come with stock TW ROMs, but JUST stock TW ROMs weren't enough for me. I wanted something more... Something with a little more umpf to it, like this ROM. To be honest, I'm not sure how this port from the Note II differs from the stock JB ROMs for S3, but I do know that once I tried this ROM out, it felt like I didn't need any other ROM. It was faster than the other stock TW ROMs that I have tried, and after a little tweaking, it even used less power than AOSP ROMs. I guess maybe I have spent too much time on this ROM, but I won't ever want/need to change ROMs now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleguy1976:
I agree! Except I'm not 100% loyal cause I'm a flashaholic :p But all in all, this is a very solid ROM and I can certainly appreciate why people would use it as their daily.

Asking why anyone would use it would be like asking why anyone would chose apples over oranges. Every user is different. Everyone has different needs and expectations in a ROM. If someone wants to use it, all the power to them! I personally wouldn't use a CM10, for example, but I'd never question why someone else would use it.

Vive la différence!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Thanx. I appreciate your input. I'm pretty sure I was one of the first to get into this ROM. When the jb kennel source got out for AT&T I jumped ship. Last I remember, the adroid system was hogging most of the battery which didn't last a whole day. I'm glad it works for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
Yea, this was (at least in my experience) due to the automatic sync'ing. After disabling the auto-sync completely, my android system now enjoys about 37% of battery usage on the little usage I have had in 7 hours (total battery % = 89%). Don't get me wrong though, I am also using ktoonsez's kernel and doing a search WITHIN this thread (search phrase: "battery tips") will enable you to see some of the settings that I am using with the ktweaker. Now, I have no problem using my phone for days. It even lasts a whole day even with moderate gaming (by moderate, I mean an hour of gaming). Without gaming or anything, it lasts about 4 days with just messaging and checking emails. Occasionally I would surf the internet as well. Last I checked, AOSP's battery life is similar to this scenario, but not as good (unless you also use ktoonsez's kernel -- great job by him by the way!).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Toested:
With all these battery issues, and the fact that KToonsez Kernel tweaks fixes them, hopefully d2att 1.3 version will have it in the ROM by default along with... Wait for it... MULTIVIEW! LOL Just kidding...

BTW, I have been driving this ROM for months and I love it. But recently, and I mean just within the last 2 week, I have been getting some major screen flicker. Anyone else having this issue? I looked through this thread, and other users having similar problems in regards to KToonsez kernel, but I am not using it.

Just thought I'd throw it out there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSLEON3:
I didn't get that, I thought he was asking why use a port when the source is out, since source means you can actually make changes & compile based on an S3 with the QC S4 processor, instead of trying to smali your way to features from another device using a different processor.

I am also guessing he has never tried to compile anything from Samsung source. It is the RARE occasion that you can build from Samsung source & get anything to boot without making a lot of changes/edits first & hunting down missing modules & drivers.

Seems to run ok for me no bootloops.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
Quick Fix uses the same framework as I used in 1.1 but I had modified this firmware before, when you flash this framework it will upgrade the current framework as well with the necessary changes.

You also should not have any bootloops without the quick fix or the quickfix installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crawlgsx:
I used the rom all day with a total of 5 missed calls, 3 voice mails, loads of texts and the only reboot I saw was once when I was initially setting everything up. No boot loops, no missed call reboot.

Going to try quickfix now, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Dear Drew,

I know this is a lot of hard work. If an easy question comes out there I go at it and try to help. But sometimes I get caught up and fall behind in reading and I'm not able to keep up with the rest of the gang. As much as it's difficult for you squashing bugs on your ROM, its difficult for me squashing the flies that jump at me when I make, what they think it is, a stupid question or a trivial remark; so I do understand frustration.

I admire all the members that report bugs, test, give suggestions and whatnot. I try very hard to keep up. I can't give too much feedback or help because of my limited knowledge, but I really like technology and experimenting with it.

I know you must be falling asleep by know so I'm going to wrap it up. I was taught from early age, that one should never take more than he gives. So to make it fair to everyone the best way I can help is giving you "Monsters". I do not know how much a pack of 24/16oz.cans goes for in Detroit, but I hope $50 will be more than enough. I personally like Monster but I try not to make a habit of them, so take easy on them :)

Thank you so much for all your work and your undivided attention.

What is the symbol for LTE in this ROM?

Ex: 4G LTE, or simple LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatkabab:
Drew,

This is an unparalleled level of support. You responded to our cries and issued an update within a morning. I cannot fathom that this is just a one person operation. I also do not understand why people like you aren't picked up by big name companies (unless its personal preference). You're truly amazing and you develop some of the most solid ROMs I've ever had the privilege to install.

Trying to think of skills of value I could offer; the best thing I've got is dental advise. I'm currently a senior dental student... Maybe it sounds funny on a forum based around devices, but please let me know if you need any dental advise!!! :D

I wish you all the best.

Thank you,

-Bob

P.S.

Thank you for giving me back my tethered internet! Studying for exams is near impossible from a phone. Even with a 4.8" screen. Not the phones fault, the online study tools appear to have been developed in 2005.

I flashed the original 1.2 and had no problems. GN, Navigaton, MHL all worked. I flashed the quickfix and while I appreciate the 15 toggles I would prefer to have them in the stock color and mode as was in the original with the stock battery and 4G symbol. I have made a nandroid backup of the original and hope that when you get to the next update you will get back to the original 1.2 framework.

Another quick question, How do I get rid of the boot sound?

Overall I am very happy with Serenity 1.2. Keep up the good work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Maybe, this is just a shot, you have too many nandroid "back ups". It happened to me once. Each nandroid back up can take more than 2GB. Plus you may have too many ROM zips; I usually erase them when I'm sure I will not be needing them anymore.

I hope this helps.

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps to freeze or something to help the battery life? This rom is the absolute best and smoothest of any rom I've tried, but the battery life is killing me. If I have to keep my phone on the charger I'm still going to use this rom, but it would be nice to make it a whole day. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] getinlost:
The DG Update Me app has a flashable script to remove it. Look in the Apps folder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Titanium Back up should help you remove (or freeze) all unwanted apps. DroidWall should let you choose which app has access to the internet, either OTA or wifi. Further, I think the OP has in his website a list of other things you can do to save battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
If you don't want all the bloat, just install the Lite version of the ROM, you can pretty much go with that and be good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jawonder:
There's a zip you can download from UpdateMe which will give you back the stock theme with 15 Toggles as DG said earlier .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleguy1976:
I literally just flashed a new ROM to test out:rolleyes:

But this excites me :cool:

Edit:

Seems pretty sweet! I'm not getting data, but I wasn't setting my expectations high for a preview build. That aside, seems fluid and polished. Can't wait for the official release :)

Edit 2 (January 20)

Thought I'd revisit orca today and managed to get data enabled through a random combination of turning on airplane mode and rebooting (basically the same way users of PureMotive's RSL14 got data to work). Took a couple of tries to get it, but I've now been able to maintain 3G at least.

I know this is the serenity thread, not the orca one, but it's still Drew's work so I'm sorry if it's off topic :p

No sir you compile kernels and frameworks fairly easily
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
If links are broken report them to me I have working on a lot of things and have busy I get to the forums and update my site when I can. I will be reuploading files to goo.im so there are better downloads.

I am aware of other ROMs using multi view and they are using the same files I have. I have not put them into the new ROM however I will post them up in a flashable zip format for you to download with the next ROM release as well as a roll back if it does work properly. Because of the current framework, systemui and kernel there is no guarantee it will work in the port. I'll post it for you with the next build just give maybe till the end of the week and I'll try and have something together.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
ORCA: yes orca is coming along slowly. It will be up. I don't know why data didn't work for some people. The build I I got done tonight was much better and I only got to compiling for galaxy nexus and nexus 4. But I'll have nightlies up soon and thread made soon so keep this thread to serenity and thanks for the support.

Great ROM but i do have a question, is there a way to make it charge faster? The AOKP ROM charged waaaaaay faster this charges really slow. I took the data off hopefully that would help with charging.

Added: now the battery is draining faster than i can charge it....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ali7000:
open up the update me app and go on apps and download the v6 supercharge thing and flash it (when you download it, it will be in the update me folder in the root of phone storage).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Teknohtc:
cool thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
Isn't the Supercharge V6 script only for performance tweaks (possibly a few battery ones as well)??

If you want to charge faster, there's an option in ktweaker that allows you to "fast charge" your phone, but that would mean that you'd have to locate the ktoonsez's kernel and download/flash after a nandroid backup, then set up ktweaker. I use it and my battery life lasts a long time. Light usage lasts me about three days now, but I generally game and such, so it lasts around 2. I don't game a TON though. If you'd like, you can search for my post about "Battery Tips" and that should help you net very good battery life (a lot better than what it is now...v1.2 ROM). I think this ROM also comes with a fast charge option...or maybe those were AOSP/AOKP ROMs...I forget.

tl;dr >> Ktoonsez kernel/ktweaker has fast charge option. Nandroid backup before flashing. The one in the updateme APP doesn't work the last time I tried it...

Is this a known issue? I just glanced back over the OP to make sure I hadn't forgotten about it or something, but I didn't see it.

Edit - I realized that it's because I'd deprecated the system messaging apk and not told GoSMS to handle the actual receiving of MMS messages, under the Important Tips section of the app's settings. :o
