1.3 test build 2

so far everything is working fine. acore fc on boot, but hitting ok makes it go away, then phone is fine. setup went fine, no fc's on any of the apps, smooth as silk. thanks op for getting this out to us
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nedlog:
Overall this ROM runs well especially for a test build (T2). Already reported are the same problems I see. On reboot the process.com.android.phone stops. Then when I enabled my wireless network I saw the messaging FC and the android.phone again FC. Thanks for the port. Once the bugs get ironed out could you make zip without the bloat? Just saves time, no biggie. :D

EDIT: The wireless fc issues are linked to wifi calling I think. fyi

1.3 - No FCs

I hope this helps someone and isn't unique to my phone. I've been running the original 1.3 since yesterday with NO FCs and working perfectly.

I did have the "unfortunately the process rom.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" upon boot but it went away after I "debloated" the ROM manually. Below are all the steps I followed. As an aside, I know all the wiping I did was overkill and I don't think it was what made the FC go away; I think the removal of apps did that.

Wipe and Install:

1.	Put SERENITY-DG-1.3-TMO.zip on my External SDCard

2.	Boot into Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.3.1.0

3.	Wipe > Factory Reset

4.	Wipe > Cache

5.	Wipe > Dalvik Cache

6.	Wipe > System

7.	Wipe > Internal Storage

8.	Wipe > Factory Reset

9.	Wipe > Cache

10.	Wipe > Dalvik Cache

11.	Install > Switched to External Storage > SERENITY-DG-1.3-TMO.zip

12.	Wipe > Factory Reset

13.	Wipe > Cache

14.	Wipe > Dalvik Cache

15.	Advanced > Fix Permissions

16.	Reboot and let sit

Debloat:

1.	Added my Google Account

2.	Installed Holo Launcher HD from Market and made it the default launcher

3.	Installed Root explorer from the Market

4.	Installed Titanium Backup from Market

5.	Removed the following apps via Titanium Backup:

AccuweatherWidget.apk

AccuweatherWidget_Main.apk

AnalogClockSimple.apk

Books.apk

ChatON_MARKET.apk

CloudAgent.apk

DeepSea.apk

DigitalClock.apk

Dropbox.apk

DropboxOOBE.apk

DualClockAnalog.apk

DualClockDigital.apk

Flipboard.apk

GenieWidget.apk

LuminousDots.apk

Magazines.apk

MediaHub_TMO.apk

Music2.apk

MusicHub_30.apk

PolarisOffice4.apk

Samsungservice.apk

SamsungWidget_FavoriteApp.apk

sCloudBackupApp.apk

sCloudBackupProvider.apk

sCloudDataRelay.apk

sCloudDataSync.apk

sCloudSyncBrowser.apk

sCloudSyncCalendar.apk

sCloudSyncContacts.apk

sCloudSyncSMemo.apk

SSuggest.apk

Swype.apk

talkback.apk

Videos.apk

Vvm_TMO.apk

YahoonewsWidget.apk

YahoostockWidget.apk​

6.	Froze the following apps via Titanium Backup (because I wasn’t sure if they were safe to remove or not)

ChocoEUKor.apk

DirectConnect.apk​

7.	Deleted from /system/media/ui via Root Explorer

PowerOff.ogg

PowerOn.ogg​

8.	Rebooted into Recover (TWRP)

9. Wipe > Cache

10. Wipe > Dalvik Cache

11. Advanced > Fix Permissions

12. Rebooted System

Upon that reboot I no longer had any FCs or other issues…and I’ve used it pretty heavily and installed a lot of apps. I'm guessing one of the apps I uninstalled got rid of the FC at bootup.

This ROM is fantastic! Very fast (6000 quadrant) and smooth. Love it! Great job Drew!

Are you using Test 2 build?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
Yes. Only through the notification tray toggle though.

Dirty flashed v2. Still get the process fc which is no biggie and may be the dirty flash's fault. V2 seems much smoother than v1! Good work Drew. Donation coming your way in a day or two.

Unlimited. Just add an extension to your browser to spoof Safari and you're good to go. You'll have to have your computer connected to a legit Internet connection to download the extension first though. For Chrome I use Ultimate User Agent Switcher.

I use my tethering for internet at my office. If you need a connection to download the extension just use someone else's phone to tether. If they're not rooted, install Foxfi on their phone. Tether you computer to it. Install the extension and then switch back to tethering off your phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] txnr70:
Yea, I flashed koontsez 10-31 this AM. The phone was burning up with tune-in radio and with iheart radio. I wanted to see if it was any better with koontsez. The jury is still out on that matter, but the phone is running fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
So is there a trick to getting the Facebook updates working on the lockscreen?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] txnr70:
I don't have tethering in my plan. I have the 30 dollar a month prepaid for 5gig data and 100 mins of talk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
Stupid question - you're referring to my desktop browser - not my GS3 browser, right? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
Yes. The way Tmobile blocks tethering on the unlimited plan is by seeing if you're using a desktop browser. Safari is a universal platform from my understanding so Tmobile will not know that you are tethering if it looks like you're using Safari.

4g at my office is very strong and I pull an average of 25Mb down :D Screw Comcast!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
Interesting. That would explain why tethering worked without any tweaking on my iPad. iPad uses Safari! :cool:

Is Wallet or the Wallet work-around working on this ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
Yes.

Download the latest Version of Wallet from the thread in General. I think it's r81.

Open Update Me app

Download Wallet fix

Boot to Recovery

Flash Wallet Fix (from the Update Me app, not from the thread discussing it)

Flash new version of Wallet

Reboot

Setup Wallet

Use Root Explorer to change values back (Google Nexus>sgh-t999, yakju>d2tmo, maguro>d2tmo

Save and exit

For those who haven't read the whole thread, if using the stock kernel download No frill CPU to set the minimum to 396 or 485 (if you see a little lag). Stock min freq is 1GHz.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
Thank you Stir Fry! You've provided me enough incentive to try this ROM out!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
It's a great rom. I came from AOKP and am very happy with its speed and fluidness.

Update Serenity 1.3 TMO Test Build 3

Okay guys I thought since you have found a few more issues I would try and solve them before releasing a full t-mobile Serenity version. Remember Serenity 1.2 is stable. However this is a test build so there are going to be some issues so while working on Serenity 1.3 Test builds it will lead up to the release of Serenity 1.3 or 1.4 based on the T-Mobile Official GNote II Firmware.

This what I'm working on right now and it will be up later on, because I am doing seperate carrier firmware now it is harder to perfect everything but I have everybody in the thread that is working together to solve issues and also report back to me that is great and for the time being that is why this is a test build. Now I am hoping that this will be the final test build I don't like to release anything half ass so that's why I like to hear from you guys about bugs. The good thing is that they are specific and not a lot.

So I'm going to go over a few things:

First off NEVER USE KTOONZ KERNELS ON MY ROMS. I am not yelling here I am saying a fact. It simply will not work, if it does work it is not going to end well for you and I highly highly highly do not recommend this.

On to Allshare - I will tell you guys that in every Jellybean leak for the S III Allshare has not worked properly. Allshare seems to be an issue on my T-Mobile port. It seems to be functional in the Serenity 1.2 build. I may remove Allshare from Serenity 1.3 Test Build 3 to make it smaller and have it in the additional bloat download as a cmw zip later for those that wish to reinstall it.

S Pen - We all know that your hardware is a Galaxy S III and note a Galaxy Note II so why do you believe that an S Pen will work? It will not. A C Pen that is designed for a Galaxy S III will work with all S Pen apps however. Hovering will not and S Pen settings will take no effect but all S Pen apps will work. In this case you may notice that I replace S Note with S Memo because S Note does work on the S III because of the simple fact we cannot use the S Pen on the S III and our equivalent app is S Memo.

Phone Error message - there are multiple fashions you may get this error. but it so far seen that if you just press okay it doesn't reappear. I will be trying to fix this again in the new build.

Acore error - This is launcher related and can cause the whole system to crash including the phone. I am going to fix this in test build 3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
A couple I've noticed since downloading a couple hours ago that haven't been mentioned (I don't believe):

1) Google Wallet cannot get past "adding your account..."

2) Contacts added to phone will NOT sync to account (as an aside, I had this problem on Xquizit as well). Get "Sync Error" message
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
On 1.2, I've been using ktoonz kernel since he released it (10-28 I believe) and have had absolutely no issue and my battery life tremendously improved over the kernel provided with the ROM itself and heat levels completely disappearing.

Perhaps the T-Mobile port will not work right, but I see absolutely no reason for it being stated that 1.2 will not work with ktoonz.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
Try clearing both caches before and after flashing the Wallet zips. Not between flashing them though. Sometimes it will take almost five minutes to register but it should work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marseillesw:
Not to mention, it's been working fine for me on both test builds.. op doesn't recommend it, and that's cool, but I'm using it anyway!! Lol, I just know not to come whining here if I have problems. Android is freedom baby!

sent from GS3 disguised as a GNote2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
Really appreciate the fast responses from you Stir Fry! So, if I am going to re-flash both files, do I need to uninstall or do anything in particular to Wallet before re-flashing? Thanks again!

Update Serenity 1.3 TMO Test Build 3

Updated acore, seclauncher, new attempt at fixing phone error, removed some bloat that should fix some issues.

DOWNLOAD SERENITY 1.3 TMO TEST BUILD 3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stir fry a lot:
You could try resetting it within the app but i never have. I really think it's just a matter of letting the phone sit for five to ten minutes. It seemed like forever one of the times i reinstalled wallet but it eventually came around.

As far as you contact pics not syncing have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your Google account? How much memory do you have left? On my wife's nexus her google account wouldn't sync if it was low on memory.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:

It says 8 minutes, I'll report back if anythings wrong.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:
Aside from the obvious, any reason we can't do a dirty install of the latest version?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Reviewers:
You don't want 1.2 things to get interfered with 1.3 Latest.

Especially that one is AT&T and other is T-Mobile.

I'm using version 1.3 beta3, its running great. I get 1 phone process FC after reboot.I've debloat most things. When I first installed I was getting 2 process.phone FC's, both probably have to do with WiFi calling and I've only removed the settings for it, can't seem to find the actual app.

Anyway, the real reason for my post. Does anyone know if I can specify which browser is used as the popup browser or is it considered its own unique browser? Also, what is omaCP.apk? It's not an app I can mess with but its installed. It has to do with messaging, I even thought it was the popup notification for messaging but I can't find a place to enable that anywhere.

On another note pop. I have the 4.2 camera and keyboard installed. Camera is amazingly smooth, I just renamed the regular camera in /system/app to make it not load and I hid the gallery that comes with the 4.2 camera. The android gallery sucks, I like the one from Samsung better. Keyboard is smooth and predicts/corrects well enough to replace swiftkey for at least a couple days lol.

Thanks DG, appreciate the hard work.

Create a 2nd APN named 'default' and put in the following:

APN:"epc.tmobile.com"

MMSC:"http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc"

MMS Proxy:"216.155.165.50:8080" < pix keep better resolution.

Works fine for me. There seem to be hidden APN provisioning tied to the normal APN which impacts tethering.

After adding the "default" APN, edit it in the APN Type nd add ,dun to the end of the line. Save, reboot, and enjoy

In my opinion the most stable build is going to be Serenity 1.2 as it's Universal and works on all carriers. I am trying to make Serenity 1.3 work with the T-Mobile firmware but it seems to be less stable. If you want the more stable firmware use Serenity 1.2 and it will still work great for you on T-Mobile. I will be working on Serenity 1.3 in the mean time.
