I'm on Telus 4.3 and flash this rom for anyone wondering. I on the MK5 bootloader. The only issue I had was no wifi. I installed the latest KT kernel and wifi is back and all is looking good. Only been running this for less then an hour so far but I like it. Thanks.

Strat, y'all did another great job, everything went great as usual.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
OMG!!! ~900 MB... Are these phone OS or what? I still remember Windows 3.1 coming on a few 1.44 MB floppy disks, and even 95 coming with other extras on a single CD, with still some space left.

Thank you for another sweet release for us :)

Question: I followed each and every step mentioned in OP. I am getting the default Samsung boot animation, and not the custom one. Is this normal?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Yes this is normal diablo. I'm glad you're enjoying :). I am still working on the boot animation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
After your 2.8, this is the first time I am flashing a ROM again... never been this long on any ROM... actually, on any phone either thus far!

One more question: Where do I find "developer options". I seem to be unable to find it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
If I'm not mistaken you should be able to tap the build number in settings>about a few times. One of those unlocks developer options. You'll see a prompt once you tap enough. :)

First 60 Minutes Review

First 60 minutes review:

Pros:

1. Love the way I can change the colors and UI the way I want (thanks to exposed).

2. Camera has slow and fast motion recording. Awesome.

3. Camera has silent mode. Even more awesome to records kids, 'cos when they hear the click of video starting, they stop their antics.

4. GPS locked in under 3 seconds, even the first time ever turning on after installing ROM.

Con:

1. Tooooooo huge size. A single nandroid backup is to the tune of 2 GB.

Was there ever anything done with the boot animation for this ROM? I think it was talked about earlier. Maybe I just missed it :/ Never stuck with a ROM long enough to worry about the boot animation. I'm not usually a stock ROM guy, but this has me hooked! Pure awesomeness:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
NOt yet man.. Stratatak is still working on it. Samsung did some thing different with this one.

ON a note from my experiences, battery life on this one is way better than 3.0. normally by the end of the day in my cell hell office, i am usualy less than 30%. yesterday, it was at 50% when I left. NICE!!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
No hurry for the boot animation Start/Venom. The default is pretty cool on battery with hardly anything more than a little text. Plus its cosmetic, atleast in my humble opinion, and so could be considered at the lower than lowest priority.

One issue strat::

There is a noticeable delay between power/button press and screen turning on. Sometimes it exceeds 2 seconds. Is there any way to reduce this lag.

I'm on ondemand governer with no underclocking. Phone power save is turned off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thanks, Venom. I have a script in /bin, but i need to update it to match 4.3. My script no longer works. It should be fairly simple.

I think someone mentioned earlier that it did. You may have to go back a few pages to see exactly what they did.

I know for text messages you can disable the readout preview of text messages from within the app, other than that I am not sure if there is a way.

Yes, this is a minor annoyance. Samsung gave us this inheritance. I think it may have something to do with the better deep sleep cycles, but I'm not sure entirely why it does this. It is a bit annoying.

Sorry for the delay guys. Traveling all day today and work too. Back to school next week so I had to get myself back in the zone. Plus XDA app no longer pushes notifications. Makes it harder to know.

KT kernel, with max set to 1026, with badass governer (my fav) and no UV is still near lagless. Gotta check how the battery fares (1+ year old battery, and nearing end of life in terms of capacity).

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Yes. I realized I hadn't checked that checkbox for compression earlier. Setting it reduced the backup size to ~1.3 GB from ~2 GB, but slowed down to double the time taken. Worth saving the space over the added few more mins.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Strat, I feel the power/home button screen on lag is gone now.

Here is my setup.

ROM 4.1

Ktoonz kernel (from today -01/15)

Governor: badass

UV: none

Attached kernel screenshots, n animator screenshot too.

Screen comes on instantaneously now with either button press.

Quick question strat, how do I turn off the CRT animation during screen off?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Diablo, edit build.prop and save it. There's a script regarding the boot animation at the end. Change the value at the end from "=crt" to "=off".

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
Diablo, how is the performance with those levels? still nice and snappy. My screen delay is pretty non existant. I have yet to feel it is really delayed.

Gosh I had this long post typed up about my battery life on 4.0 vs 3.x mouse did a back browser function and I lost it all. GRRRR..

yesterday. 16 hours on battery with 2+hours of screen time, Exchange push, Imap sync every 15 mins and Tapatalk push. this ROM ROCKS>
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Let me answer this in as much detail as I can:

Performance thus far has been snappy. I didn't feel any noticeable lag, even when turning screen on.

Battery so far has been good. I am at 41% as I am typing this, with:

13h 27m 14s since unplugged

2h 35m 24s screen on

<5m calls

What I like is the standby battery drain. With the kernel, and setup I have, my battery went down from 92/93 to 88 during my sleep (11.30 pm - 7.30 am).

My normal usage is 3 chat apps syncing info 24/7, and 2 email clients having a total of 4 email accounts with active data push.

Interestingly, on CPUSpy, I see the phone pretty comfortable at a surprisingly low speed of 81 MHz.

Of the 15:57:21 the phone has been on, here are the time split ups:

Deep Sleep: 11:09:08

81 MHz: 2:48:43

1026 MHz: 1.26.39

There are a couple more too, but insignificant with less than 0-5 mins each.

You can see that the 81 was in active use even when I was actually working on the phone, and this really surprises me how the phone was working at near lag less at such low level of speeds.

Point to note is that I actively move between apps when I am using phone.

Only app with a slight/noticeable lag: Google Voice, and I feel this is cos Google has been lazy to optimize the app with some really long conversations in the inbox.

MOST IMPORTANT: My battery is starting to wear out due to the stress I put it in. Its about 1.5 years old and there are more weeks with 10-15 charge cycles, instead of normal 7. Given this, battery life is PRETTY good.

For comparision, my battery used to fall to teens by evening with approximately 2-2.5 hours screen on time on the version I've been using since release (Intergalatic 2.8).

On 4.1, with my setup, I am at 40% with 2.5 hours plus screen time.

I just wanted to say thank you very much again! I really appreciate the kind words as well. You really did not have to do that. I am very happy that you and everyone seem to be enjoying the current version. One thing I noticed in particular was that the temperatures have dropped tremendously from 4.1.x. I am currently very happy with the setup. I may have to try the KT kernel with your settings. I use my phone 24 hours a day practically. If I'm not sleeping, it's working on my emails, phone calls, voicemail, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Yes. With my current setup, the phone isn't as hot as it was even on 2.8 when doing extensive work. Maybe you could bundle this kernel with your next release if you too feel the same about it as I do.

I also noticed that the stock music player does not have the EQ in it like the 4.1 version did.

My phone is my workout partner. it is usually straped to my arm so the headphone controls on the stock headphones are a MUST for me. Any help in figuring out why this does not work any more would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT..

So I grabbed my assistant's headphones for her GS3 and plugged them in and hit the button and it worked. HMMMMM...I did change the kernel to KT. and they arent my earphones. Ill have to test it tonight on mine when I get home....

Wallet and IG?

Has anyone here been able to get Wallet (Tap and Pay) to work with Intergalactic 4.1? I had it working with IG 3.0 using the XposedWalletPatcher apk, but lost it. I'm on AT&T and love seeing the faces on people when I tap my phone on the credit card reader.

I am getting through the Tap and Pay set up with no apparent errors, but nothing happens when I tap the reader on the vending machine. (Usually the phone vibrates and starts to process the payment.)

BTW - Strat, this is another great ROM - thank you for your work.

Edit: OK - it just worked at the Rite Aid drugstore. Still not working on the vending machines at work, so now I'm wondering if the issue is with those vending machines.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gobbles23:
I have tap and pay setup, but when I have tried on numerous occasions to tap and pay on vending machines at work, it just says it can't process the payment or something like that. Haven't been able to try anywhere else. Also didn't try on 3.0 either, so I'm not sure if it is specific to that vending machine readers. I did read something on the wallet patch thread other people having issues with the Isis tap and pay with Google wallet

What is the difference between UCUEMJ2 & UCUEMJB? I've been googling for the past 15mins and I can't get any other information other than MJ2 is a leaked bootloader. Can you downgrade from the MJ2?

Thanks in advance. I'm upgrading from 4.1.2 if that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
triplehtown, you can absolutely downgrade from MJ2, but you cannot from MJB. I am on MJB, personally, and don't have a reason to go back. Some people like the option of returning to an old version if something happens with their current setup.

I would also like to give a huge thank you to [MENTION=3454146]rciomper[/MENTION] for the generous donation. Thank you very much. It is always appreciated. It helps a lot this time of the year when professors are asking for massive amounts of money for books.

Please let me know. Dont want to take a costlier chance :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
If you use MJ2 you will be able to go back to an older bootloader, absolutely. If you flash MJB, you are stuck with that bootloader. MJ2 is the best bet if you want to go back.

I just wanted to say that the upgrade went perfectly, this ROM is awesome! Especially with the wanam xposed mod!!

However, I messed up a bit on the upgrade instructions. I wiped the caches as I should but instead of a factory format, I simply formatted the system as you would with the dalvik, etc. All of my information carried over and seems to be functioning well, the only reinstall I had to do was for dropbox. I installed the MJ2 bootloader as well. Should I backup with TIBU and factory format at this point to be on the safe side?
