Bingo! That did the trick.....I'm up and running. This ROM looks great! Do I still need to the flash the module to fix wi-fi? Do I flash it after the initial boot? I've seen where some have and some haven't. Also, does anyone have a link to said module? I just want to make sure I have the right one. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If wifi works don't need it. If need it it is in the SafeStrap thread. The 4.3 module will always be same as long as on 4.3. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caseycclark:
Ok....how long is too long on the initial boot? I've seen that the initial boot is quite lengthy. I just want to make sure before doing some more troubleshooting steps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Even stock base seems to take a while on initial boot. Seems like forever sometimes. :cool:

I remember mine taking a few minutes. I've learned to just walk away for a while and not stand over top of my phone worrying as nothing good comes of that. It should eventually come up :)

I flashed the Black Glass theme in the OTA and it worked fine. I was hoping that it got rid of some of the Holo blue but it didn't as far as I can tell. But some of the menus actually turned to a white background. Just wondering if that is normal? And if so the only way to undo this is to dirty flash ROM I assume?

Edit: I tried to attach a screenshot but it's not working. Some menu backgrounds are black, but others like corporate email are white - so it's a whiteish app, with white menu background and white text (again most other menus are black hence the white text)

*Professor Farnsworth voice* Good news, everyone! Sprint galaxy s3 gets kitkat today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Uhh, on the S3? How is that possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Beats me. If didn't change zip it may have flashed but to wrong partition and still running original kernel. Don't really see it running on S3 especially being a SeLinux kernel. :cool:

Sorry, accidentally hit the wrong Alliance thread.. I did say S5, and my model number, though..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha kinda figured you were in the wrong section. The way it read implies the kernel works on the S3. It's all good my friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
I have been having some terrible lag lately. Running Koonez kernel with ondemand governor. My min voltage is adjusted up to 648 and did not overvolt. I disabled xposed from the get go because of the lag I heard it causes. When I hit a speed dial there is a least 5 second delay before anything happens. Also lately, when the phone rings the screen stays black until about the last ring. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Ugh it kept rebooting to recovery, I had to flash build 23 and set up the phone again. Think I did anything wrong? All I did was wipe internal and reformat, tried to restore my latest backup but no bueno. It would get to the Samsung screen then reboot back to TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Wait, wait, wait.....are you serious or was that some sort of typo? If your minimum voltage is 648 (which I didn't even know t was possible to go that low cuz I never tried) then that's definitely your problem! Something doesn't seem right about that number....all of the tuner apps I've ever used change the ⚡'s in increments of 5.

Nevermind, that's what your min frequency is set to...what is your voltage setting for that frequency?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Ok I know exactly what issue you are having. First change the minimum frequency back to default (if you want to preserve your phone and battery life)

Secondly, go to voltages for cpu, hit menu, raise all voltages by 5 and then 5 again (raise by a total of 10).

Third, change cpu governor to something other than ondemand as it causes lag after prolonged usage (steadily bumps down processor speeds even while the phone is being used) I prefer Wheatley and ktoonservative.

Fourthly, change your IO scheduler to Noop, SIO, or the almighty vr (thanks vmancini3, I'd never even noticed that gem) those are the only ones that offer speed with no BS (i ran benchmarks and many of the others were very unstable and delayed)

Fifth(ly), uninstall any other kernel/cpu tweaking apps because they will cause conflicts.

6th(omg why didn't I just use numbers in the first place), If you want faster Internet speed go to extras in ktweaker and change the internet governor from cubic to hispeed.

7th, apply on boot at whatever timing you want. Wipe cache and dalvik on reboot. Also feel free to use xposed again. It doesn't really cause lag unless you use mass amounts of modules or bad programmed ones.

Lol dude calm down xP I think you read his post a little too fast.

PS do you mind sharing those steps related to mpdecision? Tbh I think that would fix EVERYONES battery life... Or was I the only one who didn't know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
[MENTION=5412033]pyrite123[/MENTION], thanks for the reply. I reflashed the rom last night and selected imoseyon's kernel and so far it seem better. I haven't used it much yet but if it starts getting laggy I will do your recommendations after flashing koonezs again.. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Lmao.....I'm calm:D:eek::p:cool: And sure, I don't mind sharing those steps! It would be helpful for everyone to know! I will however also link to the thread where I got the info from as it was NOT my idea in the first place....just gimme a little time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
OK....So there are really only 2 things you need to do to totally disable mpdecision.

NOTE: YOU ONLY WANT TO DO THIS WHEN RUNNING THE KT747 KERNEL! SOME KERNELS SUCH AS "DKP" WILL DISABLE MPDECISION AUTOMATICALLY IF NECESSARY!

***1st***

You have to rename mpdecision (in /system/bin/) in any way you like, using ES File Explorer, or Root Browser, or whatever file manager you want! As you can see in the screenshot, I named it "mpdecision.disabled".

***2nd***

Then you have to edit a file, which I have circled (in system/etc/) and comment out a line by putting a # at the beginning, which you can see in another screenshot I've added. That's it.....those 2 steps will ensure that mpdecision can NOT run on boot! Then, all of the governors and the "Auto Hotplugging" feature in KTweaker will work the way they're supposed to! Obviously, after making these changes you have to reboot for it to take effect!

P.S.- The line in "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" that needs to be edited (as you can see in the screenshot) is about 90% of the way towards the end of the file!

Happy Tweaking,

** Vito A. Mancini III (vmancini3)

And this is where the info actually came from in the first place! Make sure you look at post #37 specifically, however, the entire thread is EXTREMELY useful!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37915682
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
No problem. The problem with ktoonz is he undervolts the kernel severely. So when you raise the voltages a bit and make other small tweaks to fit with that change, everything runs smooth as silk. With ktoonservative + the mentioned mpdecision tweak that vmancini3 just shared, my battery life more than tripled! Lean kernel isn't bad either, tho I enjoy having ktweaker in the long run :P

Good luck with your future modding!

Nice, I wanted to take a look at the source anyhow! Oh, I almost forgot, thanks again! XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Tried flashing this for a 4th time tonight on my safestrap-S3 and once it finished in aroma and went to reboot it was a black screen for about 20 seconds, then it rebooted to the stock recovery then that cycle over and over again until I battery pulled and restored back to CleanROM.

Yes, I did select Safestrap modules when in Aroma.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Not for me. It's the restore that's the issue. Switching to 2.6.3.1 works.

i've just recently installed build 23 with safestrap. my wireless never turns on my galaxy s3.

Anyone experiencing this same problem or know of a solution?

Flash the kernel modules from safestrap thread. Must not have flashed with rom. :cool:

ok. i loaded the modules in a slotted rom and still can't enable wifi.

i can enable wifi in my stock rom.

any thoughts and thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The wifi is separate for each rom. All I know to do is reflash rom and pick safestrap option. It is reported to work although I wouldn't know as I'm still unlocked. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kerauno:
i had 2 slots with the alliance rom, so i did slot 1 this time and it WORKED!

Thanks so much for your time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Emalasto:
If that doesn't work, just pick the stock kernel and flash the module afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
As long as there is a true stock kernel option (Which is same as safestrap option) Beans stock is not compatible with Safestrap as far as I know. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Emalasto:
When I did the safestrap option, it resulted in a bootloop so I know from experience haha but It seems like its different for some people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Think that has more to do with the safestrap process/recovery than the rom itself. Seems to be hit and miss. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Emalasto:
Yeah from what I've seen each TW rom has a slightly different flashing process when it comes to safestrap but yeah its definitely hit or miss.

I run stock rooted deodex. Stock kernel. Full Bloat. Full theme. Hard coded mods such as toggles, tether, power menu, ect. Still runs same scores as stock 4.3. 6000's are the stock numbers. Make a nandroid. Flash stock base and run quadrant. Should get consistant 6000's unless maybe have a slow version of processor. Can get closer to 7000 with kernel overclock. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueLaguna88:
How did you check to see it was bent and hot dog you fix it? Did you open the phone or did you stick something in the port to unbend it? I have a that charging problem, I have to keep my phone facedown to charge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I'm going to test this. Which benchmark program are you using?

Edit: my results with antutu showed it being lower than stock... And it wouldn't run with 'clear apps after leaving' checked. Ktoonservative, vr IO scheduler, overclocked by one step, increased voltages by 10, mpdecision disabled, no background processes... Idk what I'm doing wrong lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah, we really need to know what app they're using so we're not comparing apples to oranges. My S3 has always performed lower than what Antutu says it should, and a lot slower than half a dozen others, though faster than my phone on a KitKat ROM.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Quadrant app. As always scores are subjective. Best way to use is check rom before you start tweaking it and after. Some of these kernels and kernel tweaks are not as they seem. Any overclock over 1.7 on S3 is wasted and just increases heat from what we have seen.. Same for over-volt. Under-volt is also over rated and can cause reboots. Doesn't affect battery enough for you to be able to measure. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Yep I only overvolted for stability. I would just like to know everything you are using to get a value greater than htc one lol. I'm talking kernel, said kernel tweaks, governors, scheduler... My phone runs so freaking well as it is but antutu says otherwise. Although I remember running antutu once when my s3 was slow af and rebooting and it scored it about 50% higher than stock. I will try quadrant and see of any difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Stock base with the mods I use hard coded. No on the fly. No Xposed. Stock kernel. Full Bandit theme. All the bloat still intact.Shows how bloat has nothing to do with anything except take up space and have ugly icons. There are also 2 kinds of bloat. Bloatware(apps) and rom bloat. (Too many mods that once set the way you want them are still taking up space). :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Would you happen to know the best gpu voltages? Or at least what they should be set to? I've never touched those values and I'm scared to. But I cant help but think ktoonz had messed with the default values just as he did with the cpu voltages. Currently they are set to 950/1050/1150

Edit: ahahahah I think it's just antutu because here's my results with quadrant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Don't know. Never cared for his kernels. If run custom kernels they either Ziggy's, Chad's or Imo's. Phones fast enough these days the only custom kernel mods I use are USB Fast Charge and exFat. Maybe overclock to 1.72. It's not like the days when we had 1Ghtz and less kernels. Custom went a long way then. Not so much now. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sshafranko:
Doesnt stock kernel support exfat?

Tweakedkat ,Flatkat and Leankat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. Till you add init.d or adb insecure. Anytime you unpack it breaks signature and exFat. . On a side note here is stock kernel with only init.d and exFat. Running on my full bloat rom. :rolleyes::cool:

I am very interested in trying the AllianceRom out, but I saw a few problems with Scott's 8.1 ROM.

Before I flash Alliance, I wanted to find out if these problems exist in the latest Alliance build:

Phone lock-ups during an auto-rotate (I use Nova Launcher, if that matters)

Poor battery life

Random reboots

I've had auto rotation freezes on this and Old&Slows 4.3 rom so it's likely you'll have the same issue as well. It's the VRUCML1 code itself, not the fault of either custom rom.

Well. I took the plunge, and tried installing Alliance v23 today. Before installing, I did a fresh TWRP backup of my previous ROM (Scott's v7) using TWRP 2.7.0.0 (with compression enabled).

Then, after installing Alliance v23 and configuring, I ran into a problem.

I had to go restore my Scott's v7 backup to grab some data files.So, I did a TWRP backup of my Alliance install. The Alliance backup indicated that it was created successfully. I grabbed my data files from Scott's v7, and then attempted to restore my Alliance install.

That's where things went wrong: I was stuck at the Alliance boot screen, and never broke free (at least, not after 20+ minutes. I could restore my Scott's v7 TWRP backup done a few minutes before, but I couldn't successfully restore from Alliance v23.

Is this a known issue?

It's hit or miss, some people have no problems but others do. I had the same issue when trying to restore but it would loop back to recovery. Supposedly 2.6.3 will flash your 2.7 backup fine but of course you have to go through the process of installing fresh and changing recovery versions then wiping again and restoring your back up.

My starting location is not at my current location, the tracking is not moving, the blue arrow is not following my movements, it keeps saying Search for GPS......just everything is slightly off.
