Here's some information on the current media scanner issue with Android. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37298 There are a few "solutions" towards the bottom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
funny. this was just mentioned. I have historically not had an issue as of late with Media scanner service chewing up batteries. but I did this morning. from 100% to 86% in 30 mins...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Sounds about right. It can be a real bother. I've found this post to be extremely helpful. It's a script. This is common with all android phones.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
hard to completely understand but does it disable it? will it see new media as I add it to the phone like MP3's and photos?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
It should only scan for media when you use it. Media server runs whenever you play anything including YouTube. It doesn't hurt to try. You can always delete the script from init.d
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] balrog558:
Thanks. I read through the posts and I might try some of the fixes out when I have some time. I'm not sure why but the battery life of my phone is not as bad when playing music as it was when I first updated, I installed wake lock detector to see if I had a rogue program but all seems fine. I might switch to a different player other than power amp for a while and see if that helps.

When I don't have music playing at all the battery life is insane, I went all day yesterday and never went below fifty percent and that's with GPS on and maps running all day.

Thanks for everything your ROM really is the best out there

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
No modem will ever be included in my ROM packages. It's the last modem that you flashed to your phone. I recommend UCDLK3 but you can use whatever modem suits you best.

As for Ubuntu, it shows promise, but I won't use it so realistically, I probably won't be touching it anytime soon.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blaker13:
Could you let us know if the script worked please. I mean media server is at the top of my list but I still went 18hrs and almost three hours of screen in time and had 20% left, sick ROM strat. Never tried the dialer sorry.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VeryCoolAlan:
Mediaserver has never been on top of my list .

But right now it is 3rd in place with 23%.

That is after flashing the script.

But I will report in the afternoon since that is when my battery completely dies.

Any themes for this ROM?

Maybe a stock Touchwiz theme?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I need to rework the stock TW theme from the OP to reflect recent changes. Right now, exams are my priority. One today, one at 7:45am tomorrow, one Wednesday. Then I have the summer to work on my ROM. Thank you all for understanding. This is an incredibly stressful time.

My media server problem went away. The only thing I did was to pull the SD card and run a chkdsk in win7 and I also defragged it. chkdsk didn't come up with any errors, so I'm not sure what happened. I didn't do any of the .nomedia suggestions from the link that strat posted a couple of pages back, but the problem just 'disappeared'. Weird.

Thank you so very much for your generosity. I will go grab a soda. I really appreciate it. This is the worst time of the year.

Thank you. I'm actually going to flash this tonight. I really like what you've done with it. This was on my list of things to do. I want to theme the whole apk. Was it difficult?

Also a big thank you to everyone for your support with my examinations. They are just coming one after another. One more left then I get a vacation in Florida. Phew.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
I themed most of it, The recipient list all the names are blue, can't tell that from the screen shot.

Yeah, changing the Text color in the bubbles proved to be a real pain. It was a smali id to a drawable.... Big L was able to add the ability to at least change the color in res/values/color.xml the text is labled S3Rx_color Most of the other colors you'll want to change are also in the color.xml but they are named not what you'd expect like list_date_color is the color for the date in the thread next to the bubble as apposed what I thought was the date color in the recipient list.... but some cross referencing xml's showed me what does what. And of course 9,png's suck. You know feel free to use the apk and re-theme to better fit your needs. Enjoy!

BTW res/layout/message_skin_bubble.xml is another you'll want to edit for colors. it's for the menu where you actually select a bubble in the settings.

Breeze blowing across my face

even the wind leaves a trace

gazing at wavering trees

petals floating in the breeze

For a brief moment in time

I thought maybe you'd be mine

but they were only dreams

and dreams are never what they seem

Love the elusive butterfly

always seems to pass me by

love the elusive butterfly

fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly

Raindrops falling at my feet

why does love taste bittersweet?

butterfly's dancing in the trees

and then float off in the breeze

Love the elusive butterfly

always seems to pass me by

love the elusive butterfly

fly, fly fly, my elusive butterfly...

Try that first. If that doesn't work, back up your Rom (make a nandroid from recovery) AND everything you want to keep that is located on your internal sd card card. Once all the backing up up is done, reboot the phone. Then go into settings/backup and reset. Perform a factory reset from there. This will wipe your internal sd.

Strat.. I use android sync and since the last update it stopped working. I sent them a log file and here is there response.

"Do you have your phone flashed with a third party customized ROM? It seems that the Android-Sync app failed to install to the Android device due to file permission issues."

I have fixed permissions, but it seems to go really quickly (not sure if it is working) and have preformed a clean install. What are your thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I'm not 100% sure. I have 5 sync accounts running all day with no issues. The more details you send me the better. We will get this figured out though. What apps are you having trouble syncing. Also, did you try redownloading and reinstalling? It could be a bad download. Let me know. :)

One more day of exams guys...one more day.

Still running very very good on 2.9.1. No complaints from me. Excellent battery life and performance is perfect! Thanks again Strat!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
What would he do without a caring and compassionate group of folks such as yourselves?

Thank you very much. We have worked very hard lately, especially Nun. He deserves a lot of extra thanks. You all should go slap his button on the first page if you get a chance. He is way more deserving of that. His work has been vital to the betterment of this ROM. I'm lucky to be on such a great team.

Thank you. That really does mean more than anything. Anyone who trusts my work enough to put it on their wife's phone must be crazy or I must have done something right...:cool:

Indubitably. :beer:

It supports enhanced multiview. You just need two phones running Intergalactic to do it. Hold one in each hand and run two programs at the same time. Be amazed and in awe of this.

In all seriousness it doesn't look like we have to wait too much longer for multiview though. I really hope AT&T pulls it together for us. Last in line this time.

But seriously thank you. I'm happy to see you've stayed with me and been loyal. If there were a super thanks button I'd be sure to hit yours. Your feedback and everyone else's is essential and greatly appreciated. It's also very encouraging.

I really appreciate all of my users and we in The Family/AllianceRom teams are happy to serve the Android development community and make these devices even better.

sooo... been kicking ass on this RoM but today I had a VERy odd wakelock. I use the stay on feature that keeps the screen on when you are looking at it. well, I had the phone locked and opened it and the eyeball was showing by antenna bars. it normally comes on then goes off. it was stuck on. I had the wakelock of msm_Camera and in the 5 hours today, I had lost 35% of my battery. 7% an hour is NOT normal. its usually at about 4 or 5%.

rebooted and we will watch it.

The I9300 has a different processor, which essentially makes it an entirely different phone. The best we can hope for its to be able to grab a couple apps out of it. Porting to the I747 unfortunately isn't really an option.

I put this ROM on my girlfriend's S3 after much coaxing on my part. She was absolutely sure I would ruin it because she didn't like the idea of people putting modified software on a phone. However, she ended up admitting her fears were unfounded. She says it's faster, better looking, and that the keyboard has zero lag now. According to her, she: "loves her phone even more now".

kernel

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
It will. To OC i'd recommend faux if the ones in the OP don't suit you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kraenesk:
I'm having a lot of luck with faux. Though I'd like a stable kernel without faux sound. If you use any equalizers to customize sound to your likings it makes it clip.

I got my girlfriend the S4. I still a little jealous. I really like air view and the different motions. The screen looks great too.

Looks like you're stuck with me too Strat. I don't have an upgrade until June of next year. I hope you stick around with us buddy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kraenesk:
The locked boot loader is a minute too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I'm not sure where to look for that, but I will attempt to make a mod as soon as I get some time here. I don't think it should be very hard. Just bare with me until I can get around to it. I have lots of things I want to do.

That's the idea behind this ROM. I hope it has treated both of you well. All I ask is that you make sure you all thank Nun and members of the Family/AllianceRom when you get the chance. Most of the "better looking" part was due to Nun along with some new functionality. You should flash the new dialer on your girlfriend's phone. It's a few pages back. I'm putting that in 2.9.2/3 whenever we get around to it. Enjoy! And thank you!

Aww darn I guess I'm stuck with you, what a shame. :p I'm keeping mine for a long time. Maybe by June of next year we will see the 4.1.2 update.

First of all, thank you for the ROM. It's fast and reliable/stable. I don't think I could ask for anything more.

Second, I'm not sure if you guys are interested in this, but I have been running into the join contact limit (all Touchwiz ROMs). When you go into a contact and press "Menu", one of the options is "Join contact". On stock, as well as this ROM, the limit is 5. In order to increase it, you have to modify

/system/csc/feature.xml

(you'll probably have to mount /system writeable). In the Contacts section, add

<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>10</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>

I presume you can set the "10" to whatever you want, so adjust that as you see fit. After that, I rebooted and it works great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I'll include this in the next version. Thanks very much!
