I gotta say TW just keeps getting better and better. The "Nature UI" on the GS3 was better than SGS2 but I hate the folders. The folders on this JB TW though are really cool. Love the animations and they just look much better.

First off motion is NOT off by default is ON anyways I don't care

I'm just saying that after turning off motion this is my battery

Is anyone having a problem with their phone constantly restarting? I did a clean flash of serentiy 1.2 yesterday and everything was fine til about 20 mins ago where my phone would just constantly restart itself. It was low on battery. About 8%. But i have it attached to a charger now and same thing. I've taken out the battery 3 times already and it's still doing the same thing. What's going on?

Any way to enable emoji in messaging app? love the ROM but wondering if this is available. i can't seem to find the setting if it is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
JFYI...I am still on 1.1, but I just turned off motion to see how it goes. My battery is used up about twice as fast (maybe more) than my previous ROM. But I'm living with it . I suspect things will get much better when he gets the real port of the SGS III version of JB when it is available. Also, I did a few installs from TIBU, but most of my apps auto installed when I moved to 1.1. I did restore data on a small number from TIBU.

This varying experience of users on phones seems even worse than typical IT experience. (IT support seems to find varying experience even on identical installs sometimes).

Drives support people nuts :eek:

Love this ROM. Waiting a bit to see how it goes before I move to 1.2 Seems wildly varying from user to user.

so far so good here! im usually one of the people with terrible battery life.. i did on 1.1, it was almost dead in 5 hrs. when i flashed this newest version i wiped everything and formatted system... today im at over 9 hrs with 44% left, with over 1 hr screen time. motion is on, btw...

i havent found much wrong with this rom so far, keep up the good work!:good:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Yeah your right and that's just the thing. The one issue with numerous complaints about battery life is there are so many different variables. Mostly being the user and how he runs his device.

I'm downloading Milstone7 now because I just love Drew's work and how he goes about doing things in his threads.

For me, motion sensor was off by default. I don't know enough yet about Android to give any real constructive feedback or suggestions when it com to battery life. I will tell ya'll one thing I'm going to do tomorrow. Pick up an extra battery. It's what I did with my SGS2. I absolutely hate worrying about battery life and reading SO MUCH about it.

I'm going to enjoy my phone and these awesome ROMS we have available to us and run it to the max. Full power, a million apps and widgets and if I need it, have a charged battery on standby.

Battery life issues solved.....

Is Quickfix necessary after Lite version install?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nathanmurray:
Was on 1.1 and really looked forward to 1.2. However, after wipe and fresh install the battery life i atrocious. I am trying Lite out shortly. May have to go back to 1.1 though if this keeps up. Honestly, this is the BEST ROM I have seen by far for JB on the SIII, but the battery life makes this alternative unsustainable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I presume you installed ALL of the same apps and set it up the same. No?

Yep. I have a 4500mah battery. It would last 4 days if very little use, and 2 days with moderate use. I'm getting less than 13 hours now. I did do complete wipes, etc, for my install of 1.1. I DO do things that are not battery friendly: WIFI always on (although Tasker shuts it off if my home WiFi point is not available); GPS always on; synchronization not turned off. But again, that is how I have always run it, and the reason for the big battery. My philosophy is why have a smart phone if have to turn everything off.

I am going to go in and uninstall all apps that I can do without and see what happens.

By the way, again, I'm not complaining...just contributing to this particular topic. I am doubting anything can be done to this ROM, and that when the final real JB for STS III is out, we'll be better off. In mean time, it's fun to have such a nice one.

First Battery Usage Report....

Update on my initial battery usage....

Just plugged in at 9%... 21hrs 13min with 2hrs 48min screen time. Basic usage, internet, email, XDA, phone calls, wifi on, etc

Also have the following configured:

- 3 GMail Accounts configured via Exchange, all doing PUSH

- Sync contacts via Google

- Touchdown for Corporate email, polling mail every 15min

- 1hr 38min call time

Overall pretty good time on the first full charge... and sure Android System is at the top of the list, but who cares, I don't monitor it like watching paint dry... I just use/enjoy the phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smeatr0n:
Soooo... since this ROM was released basically yesterday and the thread is filled with dozens of pages obsessing over battery life I have to wonder, how many of you are actually performing the recommended three full charge cycles before making any sort of claims to battery life? I'm part way through my first one and it wasn't as good as aosp/aokp, but its not horrible either. Two more days of normal use and then we shall have some statistics that matter.

Remember guys to let a new ROM settle down for a couple cycles. It'll likely sort itself out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:
The Rom looks great and seems to run really well to. No issue on my end, except the battery is getting hammered. Down to 15% after 4 hours. Android process is at 40%

Update

Guys most of your complaints are about battery life. Now lets leave it be. All JB roms have been huge battery eaters that's just the case at this point of time. I'm working on a new build and I'll see if I can improve it some more.

I'm currently working on Serenity 2 right now.

Correct, it is not compatible.

My last comments on battery life

In my case I've been on 1.1 for quite a while now, with many full cycles, etc. As noted by others, all the JB ROMS seem to have battery issues.

I"m going to honor Drew's request. No more input on battery from me. It certainly has reached a point that no more input is needed.

I hope that the real JB release for SGS III has JB battery issues fixed. Or, many will be unhappy.

Thanks again Drew. BTW...I have tried to just provide input, and have not meant any of it as criticism. I hope that is the way you've seen my input.

Love the Rom and after the quick fix everything has been great!

This maybe a stupid question but I can't find the answer anywhere - I'd like to be able to run the CM 10 mms.apk. In other ROMS I can just copy it over to the app folder and rename the others and with a reboot I get CM 10 mms.

But with these roms I can't do that - I just get "there is a problem parsing the package".

What am I doing wrong?

No. That is an spen feature. It has to do with the special sensors in the notes screen and the slight signal the spen gives off. If you look on the note and note 2 forums you will learn the differences with the cpen and spen. The cpen is a capacive stylus with a narrow point, thats all.

Also, flashing gw fix makes triangle away gives magic header missing error and also doesn't allow me to access Samsung media hub giving time it error. Flash room to erase gw fix and everything works fine. Maybe it's a build prop issue that can be changed without messing up the gw fix ?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vorlan:
I think I found battery drain issue

First I thought it was repeated tries to play/decode some kind of mp4 file with each minute calls to videowall and libvwengine.co, while debugging in the LogCat.

So I renamed libvwengine.co file using ES Explore.

Of course I had to reboot.

After reboot it took almost an hour for android.process.media process to scan sdcard to find any media files to build metadata. And it is not even completed.

I got tired of it and placed ".nomedia" file directly in the root of the sdcard.

.nomedia file tells android_media not to scan this folder and any subfolders. Idea was to prevent scan after next reboot.

I rebooted and scan still was happening.

So first guess is that there is something wrong with detecting this file in your build, Drew. I suspect, that since we all see sometimes wrong names in Captions or symbols like this %d$$s, I suspect that resource files were not build fully and resource ids got shifted and one of the resource strings, such as .nomedia now has wrong id and android.process.media is not recognizing it.

Next I started evaluating each and every folder. One of the folders: clockmoderecovery/blobs had about 7000 folders. So knowing that I am going to lose all my backups, I decided to delete this folder.

Next time I rebooted, android.process.media took only 2 minutes to scan sdcard, and then everything was chilled out.

After that I renamed back file: libvwengine.co and rebooted again.

Now I do not see every minute any attempt to play/decode mp4 file. Phone is staying cool, where before it was worm for a long period of time.

I need to wait overnight and next day to see how battery performs, but I am 95% sure that this was blobs folder and unrecognizable ".nomedia" file.

So why some people saying their battery is ok, and some people saying that their battery is poor. It is because some people have one or two backups, and some people, like me have about 7-8 backups sitting on sdcard and blobs folder has tons of folders and files, which were scanned by android_media every time user reboots, or plugs and unplugs USB cord.

Drew, if you are building this ROM by compiling, make sure, resources are compiled properly.

For users... you can risk looking your backups, or just backup clockmode recovery folder on PC and delete blobs folder. Or leave just one or 2 backups.

Before I had CPU utilization about 45% for the period of 2-3 hours after reboot, or when I unplugged USB cord. Now it takes about 2-5 minutes and then CPU utilization stays 1%.
