Thanks a Million

Thanks Team DrewGreen...

Awesome Rom coming from CM10 4.1.2, that was a great Rom too however it was missing all the bells and whistles that we all anticipate SIII to have hence best ROM so far. Will provide update on battery life in a weeks time.

I don't tell them how. I don't like dealing with teaching people over the internet because, well, typically people are ignorant idiots who try to attempt more than they can handle so long as they have a guide in front of them. I posted a small guide just so I wouldn't have to hear people complaining about how I'm an asshole.

Hey did you get a fc when opening the dialer after enabling multiwindow? I did so I deleted the files and no more fc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bindir:
I got all excited after work today when I saw 1.2 released. I decided to flash it right away after the download completed.

I didn't do a full factory reset/erase, I just flashed it over aokp 10-22's build. - that was bad news.

Now I've been trying to create recoveries that will get my phone booted. Everything in odin keeps boot looping or not booting at all.

when I try to flash cwm or twm recovery ODIN crashes. (I've been making the odin tars out of the snapdragon toolkit)

Any advice on this one or am I kinda screwed?

(the jellybean aokp was using was 4.1.2 I believe.)

I see pop-up browser discussed in the op, but it's not there in the app list. Is it available separately? Not there in UpdateMe apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mazubo:
Pop up browser is there. It will be an option to choose when trying to access internet. ie: if you have more than one browser; chrome and native browser, along with pop up browser, you will see 3 choices in a window.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chilled26:
Oh and if you installed DG1.2 LITE it won't be there.

That I didn't know. I've installed the full version and can confirm pop up browser is working....

Now to figure out the multi window ability:D:D:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chilled26:
The multi window feature isn't worth it just yet, it's still a work in progress and you can't do anything with it.

Can someone tell me what are the issues of this rom? I ask because I know it's a port and maybe it has some issues.

I also had phone fc after installing multiview.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crawlgsx:
~22 hours on it so far and the only problem I have seen is with multiview. Everything else is functioning as it should that I have tested. Battery life has been great so far, but again its early to really say. It's definitely looking like a keeper!

Send me that wonderful phone...I'll fix it where it will run circles around that 7th gen iPhone 5.

Why did you buy this if you had an iPhone...you are a disappointment to the fanboys of Apple....we don't need you in a forum like this...turn over your android and goo back to Apple hell.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rootyourphones:
I keep my iphone in perfect condition but today is the day my s3 falls down to a quick death im so tired of this crap. Dude u can buy it for 50 bucks after the big drop if i can find all the peices .no wonder people sell these phones for very cheap now .

I didnt buy it lol its a free phone.i would never ever buy a android device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lyall29:
How long is your battery lasting? What's your screen on time? My battery would drop 15% every hour listening to podcasts. That's horrible. I was using the lite version, turned gps, and bluetooh off. I did a clean install and everything. The rom was as fast as butter in a frying pan, but the battery life was killing me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sameer1807:
This is the most stable rom out among the JB leaks. the only problem is the battery life. standby times are pretty good, getting about 24+ hours with light usage and standby. but as soon as u try to use it for a couple of minutes, the battery starts to drain. i wonder if it will get better as i use it but other than that, no problems exist. and also, the 2 missed call loop thing only happened to me on the full version of 1.2. i switched to the Lite version and tested it, did not reoccur.

Thanks Drew this rom is pretty sweet
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wickidmasshole:
Issues seem to vary yet there aren't many. Only way to truly find out is to take the leap and flash
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theraker007:
Android system is annihilating my battery life on the lite version. I'm trying to disable anything that looks safe but I'm already down to 91% battery with one hour of standby and 14min if use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y2whisper:
Id recommend flashing back to stock through odin and starting over. Hopefully that fixes the problem and you can chalk it up to a lesson learned.

As for the rest of the thread, its best not to feed the trolls just ignore the comments that bring little value.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
How are you guys flashing this? For all of those having issues, this is what I have been doing for years on all of my android devices. This is what you should wipe on recovery.

In recovery,

Factory reset

Cache

Dalvik cache

Flash ROM.

When ROM was fully booted, I went into recovery again and I flashed the update zip.

I rooted my phone along with installing the recovery through this method.

Everyone who is ripping this ROM shouldn't be. You then aren't flashing this right or installing it. It is running perfect. I am having no issues. I personally haven't tried multiview yet though. Drew awesome job on this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phonecurious:
Hey guys

We should thank these devs who are putting so much time to develop ROMs for free, why to be rude to them anyway, if someone doesn't like one there are others to try

I am enjoying this ROM, very smooth, no FCs, data speed is great on LTE

The only thing doesn't work for me is WIFI tethering, "no data connection or invalid sim", is this issue with Rogers using this ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Yes. It does work in this ROM. You can block internet access to every and any app that you have.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bruceo:
1 bug I found that doesn't seem to be reported is when you are plugged into a car dock the car mode icon comes up as normal but it says tethering or hotspot active instead of click to disable car mode as it should. Which also means that the car dock application assigned does not come up when you hit the HOME key it will take you back to the main screen which is one of the functions of car mode therefore car mode is not working properly. hopefully this is addressed in the quick fix and in the future update. Thanks for the ROM it seems great so far.!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
If you are in 1.2 with the "quick fix" (contains the 15 toggles) try the pulldown bar and press on Hotspot Icon; it works for me. If you try to activate tethering thru settings/more settings/ tethering.... it won't work. I'm with AT&T, not sure if it will work on "Rogers".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jonmorera:
I paid only for the multiview and this does not work, I wip it manually and not work. I'm a nuv and don't know how to use that or this does not work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phonecurious:
Thanks it works from toggle

Found issue with DSPManager

Drew,

It looks like when SoundFX message is broadcasting, DSPManager handles this message generic way. Samsung changed something in this for Jelly Bean.

For my own application (HomeDJ Streamer) I added extra option not to control SoundFX and not to broadcast SoundFX messages and 1.2 Serenity ROM is working under bluetooth connected to my car stereo and playing sound. When connected via headphone, DSPManager handles audio focus properly and there is no need to broadcast SoundFX message. The only downside is there is no DSP processing while in bluetooth. But I do not worry about bluetooth DSP processing, because I have a good car stereo. DSP processing is working under Speaker and headphones with no problem, even when SoundFX message is not broadcasting.

What I will try to do:

1. Write a receiver to intercept SoundFX messages and make it configurable where to block this messages, such as: Headset, bluetooth, Speaker;

2. or take a look in DSPManager C++ source and see what can be done there.

I will post a link to APK file if receiver will help. Give me a couple of days.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lyall29:
Nobody is ripping anybody. I assume that most people know how to clean flash a rom as it is explained how to flash in the op. We are simply stating the problems that we are having so that it might help future development. By the way, Drew you are doing very well and we all thank you for your work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScudMuffin:
I travel a LOT and podcasts are my sanity keepers, so I feel you there. I've noticed it could be the app itself being resource intensive or its just the nature of Android OS that makes it so if I'm continually listening to a podcast, the phone only lasts 4 hours. My iPhone could handle it all day long (16 hour work days on the road) and still let me get in a little gaming before charging every night. I use DoggCatcher as my podcast app.

Make sure your social apps are not trying to refresh every hour as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Vgamer4550:
+1, I use podcasts all day long and by lunch time at the latest I am looking for a charger....usually even before that. This is only my second day with 1.2 Full so I will have to see how things go but I dont see why we shouldn't be expecting to get at least 6-8 hrs of battery life.

Overall I think Drew has done some phenomenal work on this Rom and I cant wait to see what he has in store for us in the future. Keep up the great work.

I decided to unload Paranoid to see how the camera app holds up in Serenity 1.2 and I found some problems I want to let you know about.

1.) It will take HDR photos and processes them but it only HALF processes them. One half of the complete image looks right then there are lines all over the second half

2.) The same thing with lowlight shots as HDR. But after you take one photo it won't even process them any more and just gives you the "normal" photo even if you're in lowlight mode

3.) Best Face doesn't do anything. You press the capture button and it just sits there. It does hide camera UI like it's doing something but you can't press back or press the camera button to stop it or anything

I'll keep playing with it

Two queations:

1) the Samsung camera mod available in the updateme app says more info on the website.. I'm really sorry for asking but I cannot find the additional info, can someone link me to it so I can decide if I want to flash this mod?

2) I know ktoonsez kernel doesn't work but is there any way to get additional governors on this tomorrow, I'm not a fan of the four that show up in setcpu. Thanks.

So something interesting with calls happened today...

Received multiple emails stating people had called and left a voicemail... funny, my phone never rang.... so I tested the scenario by calling my phone and confirmed, phone didn't even ring, but went to voicemail; I left a message and again, nothing, no notification, etc.

Since I was at home and on wifi, I tried disabling wifi to see if anything changed... sure enough, immediately my missed voicemails came in along with multiple text messages.

I've not been able to repro the issue, even while connected to wifi, so may have just been a hiccup, but figured I'd post to see if anyone else is encountering similar problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vinuneuro:
I haven't noticed any bugs so far, but as things are it's not usable at all just because of battery life. I restored all apps using Titanium Backup. I'm going to give it another shot by doing a fresh install of 1.2 again and installing the apps manually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
I think everyone gets too focused on the Android System utilization being at the top.. who cares, something eventually has to be there and it only makes sense that the "System" is using the majority.

I'm on my initial charge and currently sitting at 17+ hrs with 36% battery remaining.... not allot, but just over 2hrs screen time.

EDIT: Adding drew's response to the initial high battery usage, give it some time guys to settle in.

"also the thermal settings start at the max cpu voltage for the cpu and then brings the cpu down way down and records the stages. the battery will be better after 1 days of use. if your phone is hot is hot at first it is probably because it's at the max cpu voltage and then brings it down. wait a day and its fine."

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wheeziestorphan:
Great Rom. Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the email app doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
I'm not saying your wrong and it's awesome to see that someone is getting decent battery life.

I was just running MIUI where Android System was sitting around 15 percent. On this ROM its around 60 percent. Battery life is noticeably worse. I am running the full version of the ROM but also restored the same apps here that I ran on MIUI. Standby time of a cpl hours on MIUI the battery would drop around 5 percent where here its almost 20.

Obviously this ROM and MIUI are two totally different creatures. So IDK. Again this ROM is amazing and Drew's work is obviously appreciated, just would like to see if dropping Android System percentage would noticeably help with battery drain.

I'll also go through a cpl more battery cycles and hope for improvement.

Guys I had a break through! After reading and doing a lot of research I found out that the motion settings in the galaxy s 3 triggers android system usage!

I turned it off in my phone and it's not even in the top 3 android system!

I have always had battery draining from android system with drew's rom but for now it seems fine! I've been all day without charging and I'm at 53%!!

Try that out to see if it works for everyone else! It's got something to do about the sensors that makes android system ducks all the battery!

I'm in serenity 1.2 lite! I haven't tried it yet in m7!

It's not the best battery life that I had jut it's a huge improvement!!

Im no AOS expert but there has to be a reason why OS its at the top of the list and not screen time as it was on previous ROM's. I hope Drew can (when he can) clarify. Your battery stats as you have said are not great considering your screen time is 2 hrs, that only tells me you dont use your phone much as compared to me who has 4 email accounts on push sync, twitter, flipboard, fb etc and I still get around 12 hours between charges, which I am ecstatic about as I use my phone for work purposes even while at the office. My concern is this, is the high Android System drain dangerous, yes or no.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Im seeing pretty decent battery life. I dont normally use stock roms, ive been on aosp jellybean since i got my phone. So i dont really know what to expect.

Today is my first day on this rom and so far i got about 55 min of screen time (about 4 hours off the chrager) and im sitting at 85%. Thats about the same battery life i was seeing on aosp.

I am seeing android system taking a good chunk of my battey but i dont see any wakelocks in bbs so im not thinking its a problem right now.

Overall very impressed. Very smooth, no major bugs yet. Great work.

battery life

I reinstalled all my apps from recent titanium backup and don't see poor battery life.

I am at 35% now after 7hrs and 35 miutes. 4 hours or screen time, 30 min of voice calls, a few games...I usually get about 10-12 hours with normal use as this. I think Serenity 1.1 might have been slightly better on battery life for me for some reason. I am using 1.2 Lite now on AT&T S3. All seems to work normal...no force closes since I installed. Note: I uninstalled CPU Sleeper and installed SetCPU.

Great job Drew!
