Hey so not to beat a dead horse but flashing the quick fix zip is going to put us back on 1.1 framework correct? So your just using that as a temp solution til 1.2 bugs get worked out then we can update back to 1.2 right? I still havent switched over to 1.2 and if the above is the case ill just wait on the bug squashed 1.2. Thanks again this is my first time usimg one of your roms and appreciate how attentive to the thread/rom you are

Just did the update, here are some screens. Looks good! I don't usually like TW but Samsung did a much better job in this iteration and there are some nice features actually.

Also I tested three missed calls and no reboots

Ya i just tested and it did the loop.

Anyone having any bootloop problems? I reset / cache / dalvik and installed, either using CWM advanced restore data or just fresh boot / TiBu restore of user apps would lead me back to bootloops. I pulled a logcat if someone might be able to help me out. --- Oops - just saw the missed call problem mentioned above, I only searched the thread for boot loop. Anyhow, that's what showed on the screen before buzz buzz reboot (with original ATT animation in there.. FTW...) I do have a log cat though through the reboot for parsing through.

Does the cartoonify effect in the note 2 camera cause it to force close? I installed the gn2 camera/gallery zip on to blackjelly 1.01 and that's what happens.

I know its a bit off topic, but just wondering if the serenity gn2 camera has this issue as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tnosz:
Yes it does have that issue

Got a question, I'm on cm10, I know I need to do a full wipe but do I need to flash gapps also when I flash this rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evoguy404:
Full wipe and no gapps needed..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tnosz:
I tried serenity again with the new ktoonz kernel and it seemed that android system calm down quite a bit. But I did notice my screen was getting kind of hot.

Other than that No reboots.

So in conclusion I just reverted back to stock jellybean.

Cant wait for Drews new rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackangel104:
So I went to flash the kt kernel but my phone wouldn't boot back up. Any ideal what I did wrong?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
Yea... about that...

That's the wrong one for some reason. It may be outdated, but it just doesn't work. You're going to have to restore a backup or re-flash this ROM and download the KT kernel that someone linked for you like two posts above.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackangel104:
Ok I already restored the rom

Edit: I've got the kernel up and running :) hopefully it'll help with battery life.

Does anyone know what that setting is called that is supposed to prevent loud volumes at first headset connection and how to disable it? I cannot find this option anywhere in the settings, but I know that there is this setting! It would help a lot if someone could point out where and how to do this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
Never heard of that and don't think I've seen that mentioned here.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidJiuJitsu:
I'm not running this rom at the moment, but I know what you're talking about. Under settings, there should be an option for it under device settings. That is where it is for me, not sure if that would be the exact spot for you.

Hope that helps.

I have Serenity 1.2 on my s3 and my homescreen does not rotate. I emailed Drew and his SS 3 is not working so he couldn't look it up but I wanted to see if any of you have had the same problem. All other screens including the notification tray rotate correctly, just not the home screen.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Thinking of trying the wallet fix but the only problem is that it requires me to not change the build prop back. Does a nandroid restore restore the old build prop ? Is the fix basically just flashing the zip and installing wallet in the play store ?

Loving the ROM. Hands down the best ROM I've flashed on here ! Not a hiccup. Seems to be settling in nicely. Will report back and issue in a few days after its settled in.

EDIT: What does it change it to ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baldockdrew3:
Are you using a custom launcher? If you are using the stock TouchWiz launcher, it doesn't rotate, never has. If you install a custom launcher such as Apex or Nova etc, go into Behaviour settings and make sure Screen Orientation is set to "Auto-rotate" so it uses the gyro to rotate the homescreen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arshull:
No, using Touchwiz. That answers my concern. Didn't realize tw doesnt rotate. Installed serenity the day I got the s3.

If so, how did you go about doing it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dacornholio:
4.2 camera should work on serenity 1.2 without doing anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gyromuff:
I download awesome beats to the phone and did not reboot to install... Instead I found the zip, extracted it and took the musicfx apk out. I replaced musicfx.apk in system/app folder with the one I downloaded and extracted. I applied rw-r-r permissions and rebooted the phone. My bass is back!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knightblaze:
Sorry for this, I did try being a good xda member and reading every page of this thread but got up to page sixty and couldn't do anymore(passing out) and using tapatalk.

I saw someone else mentioned the problem of random vibrations but no mention of what is causing it and how to fix it. They are short and end in a slightly longer vibration. Happens randomly doing anything really.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
Hey, I think this is caused by force closes from random applications. Sometimes the phone force closes applications and vibrates, but does not tell you. So if a background application force closes, you won't know unless you remember having the facebook application open, for example, and when you turned it back on, it was on a different page than where you last left it. This is my guess. I do have occasional force closes from a few applications, but they're not often. System sometimes hangs during this and takes a few extra seconds to respond.

Is multi view working in this now? I see that he updated the op, has anyone got it going successfully?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
Don't plan on Multi-view working until an official Samsung release. Which will be some time. I was working on it, but I kept have the same FC issues. I was told it was due to Android version not being 4.1.2. Also that the TW layout wasn't right. Someone would probably have to do some SMALI hacks to get it to work. I don't have the knowledge. So just hold out for an official release.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
does this have to be installed on a specific folder?

I cannot seem to flash the rom. is this a twrp only rom?

im on cwm touch recovery

I flashed this like i have flashed other roms not sure wth...lol.

looks awesome

edit: tried in rom manager and says cant mount zip ?

edit: must be a bad link or something just flashed another rom and its gtg.

any help please dying to try this out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
No, it does not need to be installed on a specific folder. You shouldn't need to do anything special to the ROM or anything. All you need to do is wipe cache/dalvik/system, flash this rom, flash the GAPPs (well I don't think you NEED to do this...). If this doesn't work, try flashing ktoonsez kernel (TW version for JB 4.1).

I did, however, flash with TWRP, instead of CWM.

EDIT: Flash the Quick Fix AFTER you boot into the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
Well I am just having the worst luck, is it possible that effed my rom up??

so now maater what I do it just keeps saying cannot open and i get the failmark(red exclamtion point)

I cant even get past opening the package up and it fails.

I have a funny feeling this id due to rom fail manager...and if this is true this wil be strike 3 for rommanager and i am going to

re install and go with twrp.

at the end of the process it says "(bad)" ...any clues...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Toested:
Did you flash the recovery partition from Rom Manager already? If so, flash the zip from Recovery CWM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
Not sure what you mean by flashing the partiton from rom manager , I have never had to "flash " a partiotn for installing roms before.

I see the partiton sd card option. I have 32 gb class 10 samsung ext sd, which I formated via phone when I first got the phone.

I'm wondering has this caused the paths to be corrupted or somewthing?

What I'm gathering is CWM gets to some point and either unmounts or cant recognize the ext sd.

problem is when I remove the extsd, and flash of the internal card, its the same error: cannot open(file path here) (bad).

So its confusiong me, it appears to be recognizing the sd card but it can't open the zip file.

I because now two of my roms are bootlooping.

the only thing that seems to work is the three doifferent recovery images I made.

if any mods read this, should i post up in Q&A I dont want o cluster f this thread with my bs lol, I know this is for dev questions regarding this rom but this all started when I tried to install serenity. ( it could be that by installing the rom, the rom itself is fine but it revealed some errors)

this is common with computer software.

THis is the first rom I have put on my gs3, but I am not a noob and have been flashing roms for quite a few years.

my phone is of course rooted, w/ cwm touch recovery 6.xxx

This has never happened to me before.

The reason I'm suspecting R.manager as the culprit, I have noticed a lot of people having issues with this app.

I experienced some BS with RM before on my other phones, uninstalled it and it was all good.

I just figured with the samsung it would be tailor made to work with the gs3.

I have no issues with CWM touch recovery other than I cant flash the roms.

sigh. probably time for a fresh start. w/o CWM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
Forget ROM Manager. I bought the Premium and it is junk. Why should I have to pay for touch recovery? Go with Goo Manager and use TWRP. I have never had an issue with it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
? its not the recovery, as I said I used twrp, actually i used two Different twrp versions and both had the same error as CWM.

Samething with CWM, I used the earlier CWM touch, and then the updated 6xxx w/e the new version is.

can anyone with experience answer this I appreciate the help, but need difinitve actual answers.

PLease I am not a nob and know my way around flashing, as I never had this issues with my other phones and flashing roms.

Hello. I have been trying to flash this ROM for a couple of days now, with both CWM Touch & TWRP. I do a factory wipe, cache wipe & dalvik wipe.... Then flash the ROM, it appearsto be a successful flash. I reboot and get hung up on the black and white SGS3 boot screen. I go back into recovery and try wiping cache & dalvik again, reboot same thing. I have previously installed Paranoid Android and JellyBam ROMs with no issue. I have always gone back to my stock rooted ROM in between ROMs. Both recoveries that I used were up to date. I read the first 35 pages of this thread.... And the last 10 on my phone but could not find an answer. I use a Bell Mobility SGH-i747m,and have tried flashing both 1.2 and 1.2Lite with the same results. I haven't flashed another kernel with any ROM that I've installed. Thanks for the help, I'm new-ish to Android but I can follow directions, and feel comfortable with my phone. Just not much experience with flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
@freakboy13: How did you setup your phone? What steps did you take to install TWRP or CWM?

@Sledge007: Did you also format system? Not sure why people are having problems with this ROM, but I always format SYSTEM/CACHE/DALVIK everytime I flash a new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
You talkin to me? (insert dinero accent here)

I installed recoveries just by flashing a recovery image via odin.

Nothing new done it plenty of times, hell must be in the thousands by now between, flashng stock/cwm/twrp/ and flashing the diffeent roms, stock>root>update to stock>root again> rinse repeat back to stock> and yes I have reset via kies as well...oh sooooo many times.

hell I even tried doing things out of order not only could I not get this rom to DL i couldnt even brick the phone! guess thats a good thing but I was pissed. Hell I even used the "wipeverything option" on twrp that didnt do anything, soft bricked but thats about it... kies new emergancy thing is pretty cool :laugh:

and before anyone asks of course the phone is rooted, lol. always after stock rooted.

IS there different proceedure Im not doing for sammy's phones?

Ioy all this just to get a taste of the gnote2...lmao.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
Looks like you've got the steps down. Weird how it doesn't work with your phone. How are you flashing the ROM? Did you flash the quick fix right after you flash the ROM because you're supposed to flash the ROM, boot into system, then flash the quick fix. You can try flashing T-Mobile version... People say that the T-Mobile version works on AT&T phones, but I wouldn't take my word for it. Try doing some research to prove that it is so because I haven't tested this and wouldn't want you to brick your phone.

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, or if you're even doing anything wrong at all, but it seems like your phone doesn't like Serenity ROM.

However, I can tell you that this ROM is pretty similar to any other Touch Wiz ROM. If you don't get it to work, don't worry, you're not missing out on a whole universe here. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
Here is what I suggest because I have no idea what you are coming from. Factory reset, format system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Flash rom, reboot. Report back. Thanks.

I saved a nandroid via CWm and put it on my pc.

I did crazy **** to brick my phone, stop during install, try to load ics rom, then jb rom, custom rom (blackjelly),

etc.

so I just reflashed CWM, and flashed my original rec ....and after all that I ma back to where I was.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sledge007:
@aznwings & @shoestar....I went through those steps exactly, and it's the same result. Currently doing a restore, and going to redownload and retransfer the zip file. I have tried both internal and external memory cards, and no change. I'm wondering if I should reinstall my Root66 through Odin and try this all over again. I installed TWRPv2.3.3.0 through GooManager, which appears to be the latest version.

I downloaded the ROM from a PC and transfered via the USB cable that the phone came with.

Reflashing from Odin with ROOT66, will try this again later.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aznwings:
I don't know what's wrong. Have you checked the MD5 checksums of the ROM and compared it with Drew's (I never had to do this before...your download may have gotten stopped somewhere close to finish or something...)? Also, next time you reflash into Serenity ROM, try to look what's happening when your phone is booting via "adb logcat." Maybe we can find your problem after that? :eek:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sledge007:
Still hasn't worked for me yet, but I am going to try Freakboy's method and download directly and see if this works. Strange that I've been able to flash two other ROMs, but the last 4 that I've tried haven't worked.....even though they said they did prior to me rebooting. I have also tried the double flash method that I've seen mentioned on various ROM threads.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sledge007:
I finally have success with a direct download on my phone. :) I noticed it took considerably longer for the install as well....I actually thought it was kind of fast on previous attempts. Hard to say what my issue actually was, whether it was a corrupted download/transfer of the file or not. I guess from now on, I will just download ROMs over WiFi at home, not the prefered solution, but at least it works. Now on to check out all the goodies :D

First thing I notice is the 4G icon. Looks great!
