Anyone having issues with Skype I try to do video chat and my camarea icon is off I try to turn it on and it won't turn on I try to uninstall and reinstall still same issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Yes. That's with any of our stock based ROMs. Skype hasn't had an update in a long time. If you look at the reviews they're all 1 star for the sgs3 or the majority are. Skype is f****d on our device right now. I can't even sign in unless I reboot the phone first. Doesn't matter which firmware build you use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
O damn that sucks ..yeah cause I can't video chat ..well OK good to know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
CHIVE ON Cyrax....

I havent run my skype yet on it. I can add you up and give it a shot to test if you wish. I dont have any other contact online ATM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
Chive on friend but just tested with my gf and still black screen I was on another ROM and it worked fine so idk I like stock layout don't want to flash another ROM but Skype a lot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
Skype Blows.. Oh well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
yeah well damn this sucks..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Just to chime in, loving the stability of this Rom. My only weird issue is after a full charge the battery drops 3 percent in like 2 min. But if I unplug it for a few minutes then plug it back in till it's 100 again battery is superb. Check out the battery history.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lunercrab:
Dumb question. Anyone getting random rebooted with the rom.with kts kernel and stock rom no issues, but flashed this lastnight and I'm having issues. I'm almost 100% sure its it's kernel but figured I'd ask anyways.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
When I was on this rom had no reboots but I kept the kernel that came with it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Glad you like it mate! You know I can confirm that. That is an overcharge prevention method implemented by Samsung. It's really weird and I don't think they exactly have all the bugs worked out of it. It happened to me on every UCALH9 build and a little bit on H1 builds. You could try flashing nun's H1 kernel. It's exactly like mine but a slightly older build. Just a thought. I had the same issue on that build though too. No idea why it happens.

Thanks for trying it out. Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and reflashing the "kernel only" that I posted in the OP? If not, give it a try for a couple of days. If you're currently on the stock kernel just wipe caches and reflash the kernel I included anyway. :) Make sure you flash the fix that KT posted in his thread though first if you're coming from his kernel. He has swapped out the drivers and this needs to be fixed. Instructions are in his OP. Then flash my kernel. Best of luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Duffman14:
Nova Launcher paid has those options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Not sure about the Tw launcher, but Nova will allow you to set those options
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I thought I included it but I guess my method didn't work out. It seemed to work okay here. Luckily it gets pushed to your phone automatically. It will definitely be in 3.0. I also included the latest version of Dark Holo Gmail. I realize there is a gmail update but it didn't have enough features added for me to warrant an update. If you delete it and reboot, it's downloadable from the play store again. Hope you are enjoying everything else.

http://d-h.st/dHM

There you go! That's the original SecLauncher. Taken from enewman17's thread. Glad you're enjoying :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
That's what I did, delete reboot installed the transparent gmail app.

Thanks fur everything
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
Downloading it now from Devhost.... i may have to wait till tomorrow to flash it though...

naw just kidding man.. booting it up now..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Synyster06Gates:
I'm having a strange issue now. I use Nova Launcher. Sometimes when I respond to a text or an email using the notification bar without unlocking the screen first, when I finish it takes me back to the TW launcher. How can I fix it?

By the way aside from that the ROM is great and I'm enjoying the new font!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nathanmurray:
notification bar ?

Awesome update !! Been on 2.7 for a while and finally upgraded to 2.9 this afternoon. Any way to get the notification bar to be black when viewing the various home screens ? Maybe it's a setting I missed.

Thanks again dev :p !!

-Nathan
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skottyboi34:
Thank you! Worked perfectly!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I believe that's because the lockscreen is tied in with te TW framework so closely. I dont believe there is a fix for that as of right now. It is definitely related to Nova launcher.

http://d-h.st/GNZ

Can you tell me if that is what you're looking for? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baghera1979:
Just had a very strange thing happen. Made a phone call like normal and instead of the call connecting, it was dead silence. I looked at the screen and the android boot screen was looping.

Strangest part was the call actually connected and I heard the other persons voice on the other end. Idk if the phone reboot and went right back to the call or what but it was very strange.

Its never happened before and I highly doubt I could get it to happen again.

Edit....

No I didn't get a log cat since it was after the fact, and I've been up and working since 5am
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Can I ask, did you happen to use copy/paste to paste a number into the dialer? The AT&T software has a copy/paste bug that causes a hotboot very rarely. If you could hear the person's voice, that's most likely a hot boot (annoying but usually caused by a rogue app). If it happens again please get me a log if you can. I really would like to know what caused that. I have been on the phone for 6 straight hours today, no joke. I had no issue making a call or anything of the sort nor any random issues so far, personally. I'm sorry you had this happen. Every bit of information is important in this case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baghera1979:
Wasn't a copy paste, just went to my phone book and swiped right on the contact like I normally would. I thought a log cat had to be running before it happened to be able tontell what happened?

if not, then ill have it ready should it happen again. Anything special I should do or just run iit for a set amount of time?

Edit....

At first I couldn't hear anything at all, wasn't till about maybe 15 seconds or so when the android boot screen disappeared that I heard the voice on the other end
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Quite strange. I tried to recreate it a couple of times. Anyone else with this issue?

As far as a logcat, you can download Catlog from the Play Store and have it catch the issue right after it happens. I never modified the Phone or Contacts apk's so I don't think it has anything to do with that. Also a logcat error log is the best. You can sort through and organize it by errors(red). Those help me sort through better. It could have been some weird fluke. I'll have to check into it. Can I ask, did you clean flash? I did a complete data wipe and reset of my phone before the flash and didn't test it dirty.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baghera1979:
OK on the logcat. Ill see what I can do about getting it to happen again.

When I flashed 2.9 over 2.8, I only wiped the cache when I did it.

don't know if that helps at all but its no biggie cause its the first time I've ever come across that issue.

Thanks ffor the help, ill see what I can do, don't fret over it....its no biggie really
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I take stability very seriously. At this point, what I can recommend is a clean flash. Yes I know it's inconvenient, but it's the only way to truly narrow things down. If you do get it to happen again, you'll need to have catlog running in the background, that will take care of it. It's the easiest way to grab one. I hope everything else is going well with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baghera1979:
I don't think anyone is going to argue that this rom isn't stable, its by far the most stable rom Ive tried to date.

If by chance it does happen again, ill quick get the logcat running for a bit to see if can record anything, don't know about keeping it running all the time cause, like I said, its the first time I e eever had that happen, going all the way back to the captivate days.

Thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you very much. We'll get to the bottom of it if it does happen again. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baghera1979:
Yes we will, but I doubt ill see it again. If it does, ill get logcat and try to recreate it then do a clean install....till then.......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kraenesk:
One thing I do miss from ICS is the tweak wiz with the app drawer being in the middle. Is that some thing it's possible to have an alternate zip for.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryan@trix:
Just wanted to say great job and thanks Stratatak7. Used to be a compulsive flasher but your Rom's rock solid stability and battery life have me hooked. I will admit though your 2.9 update had perfect timing as I was starting to get that itch.

:thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpiopantera:
Use the free version of Nova or Apex...or the paid version, either way. 1000x better than touch wiz.

Sent from my Intergalactic S3!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
+1 for nova launcher, its the best. You can do pretty much whatever you want to customize it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Captpt:
Sad to say my GS3 has developed a pink/purple spot that's seems to be bleeding and getting bigger. Has anybody else experienced this . I'm pretty sure its hardware related and seeing this phone isn't even out a year yet I would think it still under warranty with Samsung. Agreed??

PS: As you see the pink/purple spot doesn't show up with a screenshot verifying its hardware related..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
It's possible and I am trying my best to look into it. It involves smali edits. I might have to talk to someone particular about it.

Glad to scratch your itch ;)

Well that's no good. Definitely hardware related. If it's less than a year old, you have a warranty through Samsung. I believe you can contact AT&T to get that process started. They may tell you to go to Samsung though. Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nathanmurray:
The package did the trick on the notification bar. Thanks again !!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fumes007:
[MENTION=4124359]stratatak7[/MENTION] Will you be porting the S4 rom to the S3 ?? ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
You do realize that the rom leak most likely includes the locked bootloader that the S4 has?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Yeah, I'm not really sure what Samsung plans to do with that. It's going to make things more difficult. Plus, reworking the touchwiz kernel to run 4.2.2 on a device with a completely different processor is by no means an easy task for anyone. This is extremely unlikely that I will port this.

I'm really happy to see about 1500 of you have downloaded this so far. That's the most downloads in the shortest time ever on this ROM. I'm hoping to hear some feedback. How do you guys like Nun's settings menu work and the reboot menu? Also how is the popup browser? I don't use it. Did it do anything odd?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kinkinhood:
For what it's worth I started using this one at 2.8, jumped over to Jelly Beans for a little bit then ended up jumping back at 2.9 because I liked the stability of it much better as well as it was getting better consistent battery life. I do kinda wish we'd get 4.2.2 a bit faster so that you'd be able to develop it into a 4.2.2 rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] buck1952:
2.9 working smooth

Dirty flashed 2.9 over 2.8 without any problems. It was nice not to have set up accounts and severs.

Nun’s Settings menu is easy on the eyes, don’t use the popup browser but will have to give it a try, haven’t looked at the reboot menu, flashed Wednesday and haven’t needed to restart. The only change I’ve made is adding HD Widget’s clock/weather.

Everything working great.

With this lack of issues with this Rom I don’t spend time trying to make things work, I find myself reading the General thread just to keep busy and for something to read.

Thanks for all the work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t3chn0s1s:
Just an FYI Strat,

I added your ROM to:

[STICKY INDEX] AT&T GS III - I747 {/Root/ROMsTools}

I maintain that thread now and it was kinda out of date. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Organized_Chaos:
I've been using your ROM for a while now. With my old phone (Samsung Captivate) I was always flashing different ROMs. Just couldn't find one I liked. Once I got my GS3, I flashed a few (Serenity, ported from GNote and CM10) before I found yours. I haven't looked back since then.

This is the best ROM EVER! I will donate to you as soon as I can convince my wife to let me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you very much. If you can't convince her please don't worry about it. I'm just flattered that you guys would even want to do that in the first place. Nevertheless, it is always appreciated, but never necessary. I do this for fun. Please enjoy!

And a big thank you goes out to everyone here for the kind words and encouragement. It helps bring better things. Please remember to hit Nun's and mrhaley's thanks button too as they were a valuable resource in the new version. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Is anyone having horrible battery drain? I would have over half the battery remaining at the end of the day on 2.8 with 4hours screen time. Now the two or three days ive been on 2.9 my battery has completely drained in 7 hours or less.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Nope. I'm having better battery life. I only added a script for better RAM management, shouldn't have anything to do with battery to that extent. Let's get some things out of the way. Did you flash clean? Did you use better battery stats to check for a rogue app? Did you try another kernel? Did you install a new app recently? By the way, what is your screen on time after 7 hours? I definitely want to help you maximize your battery. Double check that your location sharing is not turned on constantly too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
I dirty flashed, haven't added any new apps or changed any settings. I just went back to 2.8 after my battery went to one percent in seven hours with 1.5 hours screen time. I'll try 2.9 again in a fee days but I need the battery life as I'm in the field often and can't have a dead phone out there. Lete know if there is something you want to me to try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Definitely can't have a dead phone in the field. I have over 8 hours of on time, 1.5 of screen time, a multitude of app usage today (facebook, weather, xda, etc) and I am still at 50%. This was all on cellular data. Can you double check your MD5. A clean flash if you upgrade again is going to be recommended. This is a time where better battery stats is highly recommended and helpful to both me and you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Md5 fine, just wiped and clean installed. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow evening.

Thanks for your help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kinkinhood:
I have noticed at initial flash the battery life will only be so so. Give 1 good full drain and then a few semi drains and it seems to work well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Its drained on me completely twice already. I just wiped and reinstalled, so I'll see how that goes. I just didn't have the time for a clean install at first and never had any issues going dirty with the other versions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Please do let me know. Thanks for clean installing, I know it can be a pain sometimes but it helps eliminate potential outside issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ALLDAT:
Stratatak7 everything is running great thanks for the update, can you include in a future update "screen on" option for regular text messages to be able to turn the screen notification off when getting a text message please and thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cubanghost:
I see I'm not the only one with battery drainages, I did a clean install since I have been running 2.8 and have not had a chance to update right away, I got in 27 minutes a total of 43% of battery lost I did notice the Samsung maps was up and running..not sure if it was the cause of the drain I frozze the app and it seems OK but another day of testing will be run..just to make sure. However it doesn't seem to have change..but it could be me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mis3:
2.9 running great so far. One suggestion for 3.0 would be to include the on the fly battery mod and brightness toggle.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I'll add it to my list of suggestions. Thanks very much!

Please try a clean install when you get the chance, Cuban. It is all I can recommend you do for now. Nothing that significant has changed to cause that. If it happens on a clean install, then we have an issue, but I haven't experienced this even remotely on mine.

There are goodies planned for 3.0 in terms of extreme customizability. :) Glad you're enjoying it so far!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ALLDAT:
Stratatak7

Battery drainage is the same as 2.8 or better on clean install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you very much. I'm experiencing the same. I'm definitely curious though and want to know if there's an app to "watch out" for that might drain on a dirty flash. It could be because the same apps that have been updated are also in /data/app of those on a dirty flash, creating a duplicate instance of the same app which may do odd things. This is always why I recommend a clean install. Titanium Backup is quite the wonder worker for apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cubanghost:
what can i use to record the drainage, i have a clean install, i did it as soon as i found out i was loosing power jajaja, that is why i say ill post back with findings. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Better battery stats is always recommended to record that. It's an invaluable tool to pinpoint rogue apps. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaketc:
Same here. Dirty flashed from 2.8.

Today I am only 18 minutes from full battery and i am 66 percent already....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Try a clean install, I did last night and already I can tell there are drastic improvements in battery life. Four hours in and the battery has only dropped 20 percent. Much better!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
1hr34 minutes screen time@75%. Mind you, that's on Wi-Fi not Mobil data.

And that's on a clean flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Duffman14:
I too can attest to good battery on a clean install.

6.5 hours of light use and am at 77%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you folks. I think it's safe to say that a clean install is not just recommended, but HIGHLY recommended or you may experience battery drain. I will add that to the OP as a disclaimer immediately.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Agreed on full wipe/clean install. Much better results. Here are a few ss on my clean install. I did use TiBu to restore apps. Also go through Samsung settings and make sure all location services are off, and all Google Now cards are disabled/off.

It should be noted that this was with primarily Wi-Fi. As always, ymmv.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Still not getting the best battery life, at least compared to 2.8.

This was from 2.8

I'm going to give it another day to let everything settle down. My phone just might not like the new update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I would install better battery stats. There's a free version here on xda, just Google

Better battery stats xda
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
I've been running power amp all day, but that hasn't been an issue before. I don't mind being patient, this is still the best ROM I've ever used so I know it will work out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpiopantera:
I have an extended battery, I woke up at 8am today, and put 6 hours into screen on time. Put my battery at 30%. Pretty damn good in my opinion. I am going to fully charge my stock battery and give it a full days use and report back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I'm working on an update right now to attempt to improve everything. It's all be behind the scenes stuff. It should improve performance and alleviate anything odd with battery on a dirty flash (I hope). Thanks to enewman17 for his help with this as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GeNiO426:
Hey, quick question. First of all, awesome ROM. It was the first one I tried back when I got my S3 and it's the one I keep coming back to.

Secondly, the question. I flashed the OC/UV kernel, but the CPUTweaks app never showed in my app drawer. Was that something that was removed or is something not going right for me?

Thanks for the ROM, all your hard work, and if anyone answers this for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
No problem! It's easily downloadable from the play store. The developer is 3C. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GeNiO426:
Awesome, thank you very much!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
My battery drain isnt as bad as some but it may be a bit more than 2.8. I did a dirty flash. Ill have to do some evaluation for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Just wipe
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpiopantera:
Yeah, it takes what? 10 minutes to setup a new flash? I personally have never dirty flashed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ozark_8125:
Just another shout out, Hey, Strat! This ROM rocks, Jack!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. I really appreciate that. I've added your name to the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxprolmracerxx:
been a long time lurker, but i dont really know anything so i dont post =/

love love love the ROM. i disabled S Voice from opening when you double press the home key, but i was wondering if its possible to re-assign the double press home key to open the pop-up browser without having to download a new launcher (like Home2 as suggested here)
