I'm not a fan of the dashes/indicators either. I was able to get rid of them by extracting the power_widget_button.xml from a previous build and using zip themer to update the lidroid-res.apk. While it worked, there is still a large gap between the toggles and notifications shown below.

i have been running B14 for months and i don't want to go up because of various issues that people have been experiencing. i have used pie launcher within LMT before but i did "disable" it in manage applications at one point. i re-enabled it today but i cannot seem to get it to work.

anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cthorson910:
I was having this issue with my old device. Are you guys having problems with signal (data drops, lower signal than usual, etc). Reason I say that is it could be the screws under the battery cover need a little rightening. I had dropped my old phone and cracked it, with he crack going right to one of the screws, so I know it wasn't holding anything tight, and my signal was terrible, and I had the same issues texting.

Replacement device on B18 has zero issues for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sk8er88:
I haven't had any issues texting either. I did the screw tightening before I flashed this ROM though, and of course clean flashed as well. I haven't gotten any errors texting in the past 3 days or so I've been using it. I just flashed LK today, but for no other reason than to see if I get a little better battery life, I felt like with the stock Kernel I was going dead earlier than I used to on other ROMs.

Just wanted to give a little feedback on Beans 18 battery life. Used the phone a lot today for work and play and it came through admirably. I will let the screenshots speak for themselves. Caveat, I am using the Samsung official 3000mah Slim Extended Battery. I highly recommend it for those that want the extra juice but refuse to lose that svelte S3 profile.

Not impressed? Check out the screen time with auto brightness

Loving the ROM. Thanks Beans.

Can I change my kernel without having to reflash the Beans update? It says something about kernel on the ROM options. My battery has been draining faster lately, compared to Beans 15. Probably because I switched to stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You can change kernel anytime. It is on different partition from rom. Still has nothing to do with battery. Stock is best battery to begin with. Custom kernels can only undervolt and built on stock kernel source. Undervolt will only get you 30 minutes total extra on a full charge to discharge if you are lucky. You have a rogue app or kernel wakelock. Wipe Dalvik and cache and reboot. If don't fix you have a rogue app. :cool:

So green eyed monster over here..

I'm running the kt kernel with RErick universal, max cpu turned down to 1242 otherwise the same..

I get one hour screen time max.. Stock battery. I'm almost 15 hours on a charge..

Brightness fixed at like 42%, smart stay, swift key with a little haptic feedback.

I consciously turn the screen off after sending a text (go sms), rarely mms..

Signed into Google talk, not hangouts.

Maildroid for three mail accounts, no Gmail or Google maps installed. Signed out of Search..

My wife gets closer to two hours and she freaking plays games for almost that whole time :P she wakes up and forgets to charge her phone at night and still has 30% most days..

Locked down to 3G as well.. And animations off.. No hardware rendering at all.

Stock build prop aside from the TK mod 2.4 changes..

Suggestions or questions are totally welcome..

Could be a rogue app. Have you tried using betterbatterystats? If not, try that out to see where your drain is coming from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bschrib:
Hey everyone,

I'm enjoying the ROM. I just loaded it from a clean wipe (data/dalvik/cache/system) and making certain that I'm on the VRBMF1 radio but I've got a strange issue. I am getting a process.android.acore has stopped error when trying to sync my Google account's contacts. I tried clearing the Contacts and Contacts Storage data but still the same deal.

Is anyone else having the error and did you find a solution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
I get that once or twice after flashing, then it goes away. Just my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bschrib:
Sure as rain, it just started working. Weird.

Great ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr6:
Hey Sean, I've been on build 18 since day one and I too experienced terrible battery drain compared to 15 as well. Neither GSam Battery or Better Battery Stats came up with anything out of the ordinary. The first couple of weeks were frustrating to say the least. In the end, I bypassed restoring any apps from TiBU and instead replaced all my apps straight from the Play Store. I don't play many games and there weren't really any important apps in which I needed the data replaced anyway. Long story short, after a clean install and fresh app downloads, Beans is back to the quality ROM I've come to know & love over the past 18 months.

I did narrow down my excessive battery drain to the Flipboard app and Assistant (formerly Vlingo). I got rid of Assistant since I don't use it all that often anyways (even though that's such an awesome app) and all is good. I still use Flipboard, but the drain from this one is tolerable.

Listen to these guys and try to find the rouge app. You may have to download your market apps one at a time like I did to find the culprit, but it's there.

Good luck! :thumbup:

btw...I'm using the stock kernel.

Check the lockscreen ripple setting, it reaps havoc when used with the wrong lockscreen. This and other weird things happened to me after clean install. After a couple of times I realized the lockscreen ripple was turned on by default even though the default lock screen was not TouchWiz. Once I turned that off everything went well. I did a dirty flash afterwards to ensure all was good.

I thought I chose ad block in aroma, but it doesn't seem like it installed. Is there something I can install without flashing? And is there a way to black list or white list certain apps? When I previously had ad block on build 17 and under, it interfered with some apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I know o0BlacknesS0o informed me that you need to delete the Hosts file and reboot if you don't want to clean flash the rom. I use Adaway and I know there's a black list and white list in Settings but I never learned how to use it since my apps work fine. I can't help you there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burntrat:
I do see a hosts and hosts.CBBAK file in my system/etc folder. Does it mean aroma attempted to install the adblock, but something is wrong with it? Where did you get Adaway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
"hosts.CBBAK" looks like it relates to Crossbreeder when I do an online search. I can't help you there on what that affects.

Adaway can be found online since it (along with other ad blockers) were removed from Google Play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burntrat:
Hmm... I did install crossbreeder with Team Kernalizers mod shortly after flashing build 18. I guess that cancelled it out.

Thanks for the Adaway link. No wonder I could not find it in the playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Its all cuz of El Goog and you can't really blame them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
We're basically in the same exact position. There aren't really any apps that I need the saved datas on. Build 15 was the rom that treated me the best. I've been on this currwnt build for about a week now and clean flashed. The battery (with stock kernel) has gotten better after a good clean factory reset and flash but it wasn't as good as my older rom (build 15 with ktoonz). My plan at this point is to just buy an extended battery so I can keep this update because I really like the new features that it has.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Having a ton of GPS problems on beans 15. Has anything improved in that area between that version and the newest? Using faster fix and gps status to assist. 14+ locks, and yet maps is still losing my position constantly. Problem with maps maybe? Any help would be appreciated.

You should always wipe completely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
For several days last week, I started having spontaneous gps issues (on 3g/LTE) on Build 18. I couldn't get a lock in clear open sky for nav yet finding directions worked decently enough. I tried a dirty flash, clean flash, clean flash with a different TW rom, and clearing Maps data to no avail. Resetting my gps data via GPS Test resolved my issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
As bizarre as this may be..

Guy at work runs bone (stock? Clean? Dunno..) point being not this rom..

He's been complaining about having intermittent gps the past few days..

I think we generally associated it with the cross breeder mod from TK.. Nothing concrete but we left it at "yea that makes sense I'll look into it.."

Dunno.. Ymmv
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I also recalibrate my GPS and Compass after every flash and anytime it gets wonky. GPS fix and GPS Status do wonders. If looking at new blue circle on maps it never shows full lock now even if within 3 meters. Don't mean it is not locked. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
I have several friends with stock GS3's and they have been having horrible problems since the new maps launched. Maybe it's related to that in some way. GPS fix and GPS status did not help me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
All I know is mine points to my head sitting in my chair but the blue circle in Maps never disappears like it used to. Doesn't mean it is not locked. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
It may be locked somewhat, but as I'm driving down the road it switches to streets parallel to me constantly. Dead end streets I'm passing and does this throughout my trip. It's quite annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That sounds like app and not GPS. Go to Taem Blackout or onother thread and install old Maps app. It is not rom related. :cool:

Upon installing build 18 I cleared and updated AGPS data with GPS Test and helped a lot but not entirely, so I took the sage advice of so many in this thread: tighten the screws. 1st time tightening since I received the device at launch and found up to 1.75 turns needed with some screws. Been almost a week now and GPS has remained perfect, with super quick lockon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That is definitly a fix if have never done it. All should do at least once. Them robots putting in screws not as reliable as they make them out to be. :laugh::cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schism169:
What do you mean by tightening the screws? As in take out the back cover and tighten every screw on the back?

Also I just installed gps test. How do I know if AGPS is updated? All it says is that a request was made. Will it give a confirmation when it is updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
Yes, fyi remove the battery too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pbman1953:
Ok, I just performed the " paper insert" trick but using another method.

First off you need a precise sized Philips that fits the screw so you don't strip the heads

Second, after removing the screws, the back panel comes off easily.

Third- my version has a plastic boarder around the the GPS connection pad. So it's hard to get a needle in there to pry it up

But , if you look on the phone side to where the connection is on the pc board ,the GPS sensor connection, it's a silver hook like spring that can be bent up easily to enhance the contact to the the pad. If you look at the sensor from the side you'll see it's like a hook.

You still have to be careful when lifting the contact and it doesn't take much to bend. Just be careful

Much easier , at least for me

No test results yet, but I know it now there's a better connection from sensor to the antenna

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

I just made a test so I don't know if it's just a coincidence or the contact enhancement really worked. In my house and not near a window , wifi off, I never had such a fast connection ever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Where exactly is the gps tab located? I've been searching for an exact location on the inside and can't find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pbman1953:
Ok, going back to this link and the pictures shown.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44725977

You have 2 main items to look for after you remove the plastic inside piece. .The GPS sensor is located on the upper left side ,on back side of the phone , pc mounted The GPS antenna contact tab , is on the back side of the plastic inside cover you removed. So basically , remove the all the screws, remove the plastic insert and flip it over ,the tab is on the upper right. I can tell from my phone that it's slightly different from the pictures but essentially the same.

I felt by prying up the pc contact was easier and overall contact would be better. The connection itself is only a pressure by contact. I'd see these a a lot in car audio head units. Instead of a wire connection to the antenna it's a pressure contact
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Ok great, thank you. I think I did part of that but not all. I'll give the rest a shot.

the gps contact pad on mine definitely does not look anything like the one in the picture. If I pry it off, it's not going back on. So I'm going to refrain for that.

I even went back to stock and I'm getting zero gps connectivity. Nothing. Back to verizon I guess with my insurance.

Did you select AT&T in Aroma? Cuz I know multicarrier was temporarily removed once this rom was rebased on VRBMF1 for build 16.
