Serinety is a galaxy note 2 port which runs jellybean 4.1.2 if I'm not mistaken and Milestone 7 I think is just stock android jellybean like you would find on a nexus but with a lot of features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoTINS:
U should probably read the OP for both roms, as it answers ur question. Serenity 1.2 is taken from a AT&T GNote 2 JB leak, and Milestone 7 is taken from a Sprint GS3 JB leak. Both roms are currently active and being updated.

...sent using Tapatalk on my Galaxy SIII...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] topdollar175:
Just curious. Was wondering why this ROM in this forum is only 1.2 but there is a 1.3 available in the sprint and t-mobile for the S3? Also how is multi view coming? Very looking forward to that feature and this will be my DD. Thanks. Great work Drew
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:

Update

I am currently working on Serenity 1.3 for AT&T. However there is no new firmware for AT&T and I currently working on getting other things working for the build and new things in line for the build.

The reason there is Serenity 1.3 Sprint and T-Mobile Test Builds are out and that is because those are specially base on GNote II Sprint Official Firmware and Gnote II T-Mobile Official Firmware and are only Test Builds right now. They are not releases and are only Test Builds that I have not had a chance to test build as my phone is out of commission right now.

New things are in store however Serenity 1.2 is the current official build out right now and the stable build. When Jellybean is officially released on all carriers this rom will even more stable. In December multiview should be working or at least by a 4.1.2 Jellybean leak. Either way this rom is coming along great and I hope everyone is enjoying it.

Hey drew, I flash the ktz kernel and I believe the one that came with s 1.2 works better for me. Could you point me in the right direction to get back to the original kernel? Is it in you update me app?

I believe I have the one in update me set up with the proper boot image. I don't know if I included modules though. However I can upload flashable zip with boot image and modules in in a like an hour or two when I get back to my other computer. In the mean time you can try the update me app.

What exactly does the cpu sleep do? I know the name says it all but i really could not find any info on it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smeatr0n:
Shuts down one of the CPU cores while the phone is in sleep. I don't notice any difference personally but your mileage may vary.

Where and just how AOSP is it? I'm looking for something as close to my N7 as possible!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahmedfikry:
Hello

Does this ROM include the MOD for call recording & does it remove the default increasing call ring?

If not...can it be flashed? I tried the flashable zip on ICS ROMs but not on JB so that's why I'm not sure if it would work on here

Thanks

Just can't get enough battery life...

After extensive testing of different kernels, mods, CPU Editors, and disabling just about everything from sync to motion to apps, I can't seem to get half decent battery life, even in idle for an entire day without touching the phone, I only got 8-9 hours before it died. I am losing over 10 percent per hour in standby. If anyone has come up with a solution to enhance battery life, please post what you have done. Great work on the ROM to Drew, but unfortunately I just don't think the leaks and JellyBean ROMs are up to snuff just yet. Will be coming back once the battery life is improved.

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ViciousLSD:
I think i will install this today... do i have to install the quickfix after the rom? I have never installed any rom on my gs3... i was just looking for something close to factory...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahmedfikry:
I agree..amazing ROM but high battery drain...I say I get half the life I get with ICS TW ROMs (stock or Aerial) ..and half to third what I get with Task AKOP ROM...

I really like stock look but I also like all added features here...

I hope battery like gets fixed so I can stay with this one & not go to Aerial again .

I am running 1.2 with fix ..Main battery drain is from "Android system"...

Again thanks Drew for your work..hope I get reply about what you think about battery life
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kevinl86:
Quit crying about battery drain, the ROM easily makes up for the inconvenience..

It's not even THAT bad in my case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I find that my 2nd CPU shuts down anyway. Also, in another thread, a recognized developer (I don't remember who or what thread) indicated that CPU sleep was unnecessary because it happens anyway.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

It may not be that bad in your case. Everybody will be different, and their needs are different.

I was living with it, based on using a 4200mah battery. INterestingly, for one day after switching back to my default battery, it was even better. Don't know what that's about.

But like a couple others in the thread, I all of a sudden started getting FCs on various things. I've moved back to Ariel, and am awaiting the SGS III version of JB. I'll be anxiously watching for this DEV's custom ROM based on that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahmedfikry:
How did you know I was crying? Do you have psychic abilities?

I am happy with this ROM..so I want it perfect..this is called feedback to developer... oh wait, that's not you ..humm i wonder why you responded then?

i also noticed the CPU is running slower via quadrant test... whats going on?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hutch8891:
I flashed the kernel separately.

I also only flashed the kernel. i did not clear the cache or dalvik or even fix the permissions. Try it that way and see if it works for you. I would get the bootloop as well if i followed the instructions and cleared and fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoTINS:

In PowerAmp, go into settings and click on Audio, then Advanced Tweaks, and uncheck Direct Volume Control.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] papaskispartan:
I read somewhere that somebody had the hyperion 4200 battery and switched over to the original battery and the power lasted a lot longer. I too have it and did nothing different to my phone. For a few days I would not place my phone on the charger at night to see what would happen and the battery drained like crazy with system at 45%. I made sure I was doing the same thing every night except last night I switched to the original battery, and holy **** my battery only dropped 1%! I did not do anything different to my setting or anything. I am going to roll with the original battery for a few days and see what happens.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jabulon:
My two cents after using Serenity 1.2 for the past two weeks:

The ROM is great, and for the first I had almost no FC, aside from the messaging not working. I did not flash another kernel.

The battery life is much worse than what I had with Ariel. I now go through 85% in about 15 hours of light usage, compared to about 20-25 with Ariel. The culprit is always "Android system" with at least 40%, which is usually more than my screen...

Overall, though, I would really hate to switch away from this ROM.

The two things that I would love to see along the way are:

-Improved battery life

-the ability to skip tracks using the volume buttons (for me this is very important!)

Thank you Drew for sharing ! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahmedfikry:
Totally agree...

amazing ROM...drained battery...Love all the features & the smoothness..but have to go to another because i am out moving all the time can't charge frequently

Great work...hope you can fix "Android system" drain
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] id10terrordfw:
Everyone with bad battery life, have you checked to see what is actually causing the bad battery life? For me, I used Better Battery Stats to see that the MediaScanner process was eating my power and cycles alive. Once I cleaned up my SDCard (internal and external, especially TWRP backups) it went away and now it barely sips battery. Jelly Bean's media scanner, especially on Sammy TW ROM's is notorious for this, Try it ad see, you may be pleasantly surprised.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ViciousLSD:
STOCK KERNEL HERE

I've actually had much better battery when flashing this rom. Disabled all the samsung app stuff.. But then again i just started using juice defender.... The only issues i have is the notification sounds are much lower than before and sometimes i get this weird error message sometimes... also had a dim LED notification but started using Light manager which has fixed this issue. Overall i'm pretty damn happy with this rom even though its my first s3 rom. I am using CM10 on my father inlaws s3 and my kindle fire.

Guys, Drew has already posted a few times about keeping the battery life discussion out of this thread. I realize that some people are having issues, but they aren't specially the fault of this rom, it is a known jellybean issue. When most of us come to this thread, it's to see if Drew has posted any news on updates or to discuss development in this rom. Please stop cluttering the thread with battery issues. Take time to read, and you'll see that there are countless pages with the exact same discussions recurring in this very thread in some kind of boring cycle. If there isn't a thread about this already in Q&A, start one and keep this thread clean. I'm not trying to be a ****, but I'm sick of reading the same thing over and over that isn't even related to development of this rom and if Drew weren't so busy, he'd be repeating himself again...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
I have never gotten any booloops after flashing the Ktoonzes kernel - I don't know for sure but it is possible that you flashed the wrong version of the Kernel. There are several versions of the same Kernel in Ktoonzes thread (ICS TW, JB TW and ICS AOSP and AOSP JB. You need to be sure you flash the TW JB Kernel if you want it to work with this ROM - Ktoonze also suggests that you wipe cache/delvick before and after flashing the Kernel and that you fix permissions after flashing.

I recently did a clean flash of this ROM and after flashing the rom and before flashing the kernel, I booted the rom first - then returned to recovery and flashed the Kernel - I have heard that this is the best practice but in all honesty, I often flash the kernel immediately after flashing whatever ROM I am using and usually don't have problems -

Either waycheck the version of the Kernel you are using and if you are sure you did the right one, maybe it was bad download - start over - good luck. Hope this is helpful. I just noticed this is my thousandth - post(is that a word? Thousandth ? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DXP2:
It says I am connected and charging through USB even when charging via AC and it takes an hour to charge my phone > or = to 5%

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clipsruck:
I always get bootloops when I flash a ktoonzes kernel. I think it's just my phone. I've spoken to him about it. Followed every step and no luck. Such is life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] soapbubble:
I'm using ktoonz kernel for those that asked. I change the min values to 384 and max to 1134. Also the battery does bug on this ROM saying you'll have 100 and as soon as you pull it it says 85 or so. Just plug it back in and it charges to full.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoTINS:
Try erasing ur battery stats after flashing a new Rom and/or kernel and go thru at least one full charge up and run down after.

Also, I'm thinking it's a good idea to erase battery stats whenever switching different size batteries, since the stats are accurate for the battery ur removing, not the one ur putting in.

Just a thought.

Please give it some time. I don't know if the phone has to recompile the ROM or what (you know, when we delete the Dalvik cache), I was also freeking out the first few days, but WAIT, please WAIT, give it a chance! I'm getting full days of charge real easy now. Also might want to try formatting your external SD card from the phone, and the no frill cpu control app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatonjb:
i bet if you notice, that the Android system and Media system takes a lot of it. i am not sure why, if I format my SD everything is great for a bit, then a few reboots later, problem again. BUT, if i let it calm down plugged in for about 30 min or so, I don't have problems anymore. problem is, if it locks up and reboots, I am screwed once again.

formatting the card, helps from time to time, but it does not fix it compleatly. but i am almost sure thats the problem. I installed watchdog, and can see the two take up 50%+ for about 30-45 minutes.

I hope we can get this Rom working. I have not had serious battery problems but I want to keep to the ATT GSM system. I tried the Milestone Rom based on the Sprint JB Rom but feel that that does not give me what I want in a JB Rom. Lets get this updated and working within the stock framework. If I wanted only wanted JB I can use the AOKP JB Roms which work very well. With the ATT Note firmware out we should have a good workable ATT GSM Rom. I am confident that Drew will get it working.
