[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] romshark:
I'm running 2.0 (I'll try 2.5 eventually) and have been getting excellent battery life. I used to go down from full charge to 80% while sleeping on a different ROM.

This time, with all the heavy usage during the holidays (calling, texting like mad, even downloading and running a random number generator [for a video game tournament during our work Christmas party]), I'm only down to 50% after 18 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Are you doing anything special at night so your battery doesn't drain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] romshark:
Nothing much. My GPS is off unless I need it. Wifi is on and connected to my home network (less power than the mobile network. Though a few times my router locked up and my phone will use a lot of power trying to background sync Google contacts and stuff). I don't have Facebook set to notify me of anything (I usually just check it myself during the day). And the phone is on silence when I sleep.

I did just notice a problem since I last posted, and it happened on the other Jellybean Touchwiz ROM (Synergy) that I tried. Sometimes my background apps just quit, like Dropsync (auto-syncs certain folders to my Dropbox every few hours). I found out Dropsync last synced on the 19th.

I was using Lighflow with Synergy Jellybean ROM, and it also occasionally stopped for no apparent reason. I've never used any task killers. I don't use Lightflow with Executioner, since the LED colors work right straight from GO SMS on this ROM, but programs quitting is still a problem.

If Dropsync was running, my battery would probably have gone down a bit faster, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
I've had it happen on other roms. sometimes it will take a couple of charges to settle down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
I'll put up a mirror to 3.0..

However, the KOR kernel broke several things for me. The kernel is great otherwise. I've posted the issues that I was able to reproduce in his thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
How do I get to that folder?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aj522:
I don't see where the link to download 3.0 is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
Its probably the media service doing the scanning. Checking the battery stats. If it is, let it run its course. maybe take a couple of days to stop. Mine just finished after about two days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
OK guys here's 3.0 with stock kernel, kor kernel version is uploaded I just haven't posted yet I need a few testers, I been testing with stock kernel all day long taking pics of family and using the hell out of my phone and this is what I have on battery and I did not even have a full charge I was at 75% when I flashed this , that pic is my wife I took with my gs3 so the can is great now and shutter sound is back, battery life is back and the speed smoothness and the rock solid ROM, I am uploading with stock kernel now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Sorry here's the battery life so far ,I was at 75% when I flashed and I been using my phone and taking pics like crazy all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biyobe:
Where is the link for 3.0? I was just about to drop on 2.5; but will hold off if it's coming soon :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Read what you just quoted lol I need a few testers for the kor kernel version and I'm uploading the stock kernel version now, would you like to test or you waiting on stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slufa111:
I would like to test 3.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biyobe:
Oops, read that as stock was ready to go and issues with kor. what is the difference? any major flaws with Kor or still needing to find that out? i've just been dropping different roms on all afternoon/evening looking for that magic one; so willing to test i guess :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aj522:
Glad you worked on the heating issue, the last few days the phone had gotten really hot, used my wife's stock non rooted SG3 and really noticed the heat difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biyobe:
do you know about how long to upload the stock? bored and my parents this holiday evening and ready to play around with some new/updated ROM!! or testing is fun too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dems86:
Link to uploaded version with kor kernel? Would like to test it out for a couple days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] takota6:
I'm up rem,, I'll take a good look at your latest if you'd like
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
3.0? And here I was about to go to sleep. What a nice Xmas gift thanks Rem!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Where is the 2.5 wallpaper located? I read where someone said it was in the framework-res?? Framework-res is an apk file, so how can the wallpaper be found in it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
I just got mine from zedge works and looks fine. What I would like to know is where is the 3.0 link. It's not in the op but description is there. Did Rem forget our is it still a tester.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballpoint:
tester

if you still need tester ill test it for you.Running 2.5 with crap mod running great have it all blue :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Guys my hard drive crashed last night putting a new 1 in it today I will get everything ready to go and everything uploaded
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Sorry to hear that, good luck. I can't wait. I love your roms and that kernel looks good. Anxious to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
OK guys the 3 people that sent a pm I replied with the link to the kor version so soon as I hear back from those testers and all is well I will post the link, as for stock kernel version I am putting in my hard drive now and have to reinstall windows and everything else then rebuild and I will upload
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biyobe:
Good luck on the hard drive!! Will we be able to install over 2.5 or recommended to wipe/clear and install? If ya want more testers, shoot me think link :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipple31:
People are pretty much always going to reply to that question the same way... clean install. :angel:

That being said... it doesn't hurt to try a dirty and see how it runs. If there are issues - wipe 'er.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Clean install, I removed some scripts so wipe first or it won't remove them, I think that's a lot of the problem with people having heat issues and so forth, but I did run stock not even rooted ota for a day or 2 and with heavy use mine got really hot,all day yesterday I been running 3.0 stock kernel and very heavy use and did not get hot at all

Oh yeah not one comment on how beautiful my wife is? Lol

Off topic here but anyone running windows 8 on a not touch screen PC? Thinking about installing it but don't know how good it runs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
Media service is acting up again after being silent yesterday. Guess it came back after turning off my phone for last night.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipock97:
I have had media server issues as well. Are you saying after it is done scanning it won't start again. For now I force close google Music to get the media server to stop draining the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slufa111:
Honestly, Windows 8 is a bust of an OS, I kinda of relate it to windows me or vista
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] takota6:
Yeah ill say it... You got yourself a trophy wife... With respect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
Why was acid removed? I noticed.jellybeans Rom also removed it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slufa111:
Ok as a tester for 3.0 kor. It works awesome...however benchmarks scores are around 5300-5400

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Sorry for the short post.

Wifi: connects very quickly

Gps: does NOT connect at all however I am in the middle of a blizzard so take that for what it's worth.

Battery: can't comment yet

Installs: flawlessly

Speed : noticeably snapper then 2.5

Anything else for a tester to review?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Windows 8 will run great on non-touchscreen equipment, but I have a Samsung Windows 8 tablet and I can tell it works much better with a touchscreen. In a nutshell it is Windows 7 with the Windows Live start tiles overlay on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dems86:
Am I missing the link to 3.0 with kor kernel or something? How are yoycalready running i...I've been anxiously waiting to run flash it myself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Can you test video chat with Tango or GChat? When I ran the KOR kernel, using a video app would reboot my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
May add the crystal clear mod in the stock version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Razz1 will update the mod very soon, you may want to hold off a bit before including the crystal clear mod in your rom...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Just now seen that, I'll probably hold off on the stock kernel version, still working on my laptop anyway, installing windows 8 now I'll just go back to windows 7 if I don't like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Wife??? She swore she was single! Lol, jk Remfi. I believe my question will offer the comment, "why are you on the computer and building these roms for us?"

Btw. Looking forward to 3.0!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
remf4i windows 8 is good just like 7 I use it and it is faster. I haven't paid for Windows since xp and my favorite is 7 but i am getting used to 8. I think a lot of us here wanted to comment on your wife but i bet all of us were wondering what you look like before we commented, she is very beautiful. Just to let you know I am running 2.5 with faux kernel and it is great I had almost 3hrs on screen with 1 day and 10hrs on single charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Any idea what the name of the wallpaper is? There are tons of wallpapers on that site.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Hell yeah... With the Ziggy kernel at 17xx clock speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
DROID dna
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
don't take it wrong but that is not a good score i am on faux kernel not over clocked I am getting almost 6000. plus quadrant doesn't mean too. much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
I'll try it out, and, TRUE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
This is 3.0 stock kernel with the crystal clear mod, I know that mods the fps as well so don't know if it helped or not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chocolate8175:
Hmm, how does one upgrade for free. I'm still on xp, ha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Hit me up on gtalk ,remf4i

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:

hate wallpaper scrolling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cronek28:
I guess I'll find out as soon as its uploaded and I flash this (I'm very excited I like 3.0) but did you get the superSU to stick in 3.1? Its easy enough to flash after but I was just wondering while waiting. Thanks again and again!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jkat797:
3.1 is uploading!!

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jkat797:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
It's in the OP. He fixed su.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cronek28:
Great now I feel like "that guy" darn it :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
So with the add-ons do we flash after flashing the initial ROM? Anything I need to wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
lol sorry but did you really just ask that ? ..........just messing with ya ,yes fallow instructions in the op to flash then after you let it sit for about 5 to 7 mins without touching anything ,set it up then flash any extras ,always good to wipe cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
Thanks buddy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Guys there s one caution after you flash this ROM , be very careful that you dont let the speed of it burn your fingers :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
Does this mean 3.1 is up?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Very soon my friend, just a few more mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Coming from 3.0 do i still need to do a factory reset full wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Yes please read the op, you should kinda always do that before you flash any ROM or mod :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
Oh the anticipation!:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bc760:
This is killing me lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cronek28:
I feel like a little kid at Christmas. I need to go to bed got to get up early for work but wanta cure my need to flash a taste of beans!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
I'm in the same boat! Gotta get up tomorrow and sell suits! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
I didn't know Walmart sold those lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Thank you, got it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
no problem glad i could help. I feel like a crack addict looking out the window every minute. i check for 3.0 every 5 min. I need a FIX!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
I am still having these issues. Anyone? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 9646gt:
Mine again today got VERY hit in my pocket. Performance got terrible because of it of course. Going to see if a new build helps. But I always have issues with different ROMs and have thought about just going with a stock ROM with minimal Mods :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Did you dirty flash to whatever you are running now ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Ok guys someone with widows 8 help me out lol when I try to upload it said I am over the max limit of 512 ,never done that on windows 7 is there something I need to change?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
You're not uploading to skydrive so I don't see why there should be an upload limit concern with Windows 8. What I did though was installing Classic Shell, I can't seem to get a proper productivity on Win 8 without it.

Maybe try to reupload the file with whatever browser you're using but in the non-tiled working environment...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
I'm using ie10 that came with windows 8 lol I don't understand why its doing that, I'm uploading to devhost I never had a cap on the size
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thisiswang:
am i missing something here or how come I can't find the 3.0 build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Read back a few posts. Rem had a hard drive crash and now Is having trouble uploading with Windows 8. It will be up soon patience is the key. But the anticipation is killer though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thisiswang:
thanks man, i read back a few posts but i thought it was just windows 8 trash talk lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Gave this a shot today. My data speeds came to a grinding halt. Restored my backup and everything is back to normal. Very strange.

This is really pissing me off lol I'm about to put windows 7 back on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Is it a browser thing? Can you ftp to the file host?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chocolate8175:
Done good sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Didn't get anything on talk hit me up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burntrat:
I just flashed the 2.5 grey theme rom and my baseband ends with HE. Is that normal or am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 9646gt:
Nope clean flas. And by clean I mean wiped every single bit of internal memory allowed by twrp :) Just randomly happens and can't tie it to any apps.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Download a trial of the start8 program by stardock I think it is. It will give you a normal start menu on desktop mods so it will function just like windows 7 :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Function isn't the prob ,I love how its laid out and its fast as hell ,just wont let me upload over 512
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Just PMed you, you can FTP to my mirror if you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Going back to windows 7 now lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
You need to update to the new K3 radio and rpm. You can find a link to the rpm and radio for K3 in any K3 based ROM basically. You just flash in CWM or TWRP. It's totally independent of the ROM itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonie01:
Ok. Charged my phone overnight, woke up with a warning saying "charging had stopped due to overheating". Damn phone was so hot I cooked breakfast on it. Any info on why this happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Let me know.. I can get this hosted within minutes to get it started..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
I see that it starts after turning off the phone. I shut my phone off at night. It runs for maybe 1/2 hour until next time I turn the phone off. I will try this one solution to see if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
I notice on the op it has details for 3.0 but no link anybidea what's going on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Remf's hard drive crashed, and holidays. Should be up any day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Now I'm fighting the flu, temp of 104 and dehydrated probably be checking in to the hospital soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Get the eff off the keyboard and go take care of yourself, sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
Don't mess around with that high a temperature and dehydration. I've had the same thing and it can get worse very quickly. Go now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
I just got done being sick and this flu is terrible. A few days of absolute hell. Just take care of yourself Rem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Get medical attention now!!

Influenza is rampant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blueb0x:
Take care of it. I had the flu a week ago and am just getting back to normal. If taken early enough tamifu can reduce overall duration

A different strain is out now. I found out that I was inoculated earlier this year for a different strain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chocolate8175:
Hope you're ok bro, get better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
One thing that I noticed about this ROM is the high RAM utilization. This goes down to as low as 137MB free. When I was running stock ICS, it never got that low. Maybe 400-500MB the lowest. I understand how Android uses RAM and proper allocation and so forth. However, this ROM seems to be the culprit. I am running pretty much the same apps that I had before. Actually I have only installed maybe half the apps that I had under ICS. So the problem will not get better.

Also, there are 3 apps that seem to do the same thing: Awesome Beats, Dolby Mobile and Noozxiode. Which is better? Do I really need all 3?

Thank you all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Just curious, are you running a Startup Manager app? I've disabled about 2/3 of the things that actually startup when the ROM starts up. Eventually, once I'm up and running for the day, I have about 50 tasks/apps running, with about 400MB free. I sometimes kill all, and re-open the apps I want syncing in background. FB, Twitter, etc..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Noozxoide is the best one if its working properly.

I concur with the poster above about noozxoide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
I'm still getting crappy battery life with 2.5. I'm not even touching the phone, and the battery is draining about 10% per hour while it's in my pocket. Are you guys using power saving mode? Could GMail be eating the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natemiller82:
Remf, I'm just curious about your username. I keep thinking it's the military acronym. Loving your ROM by the way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
Check your battery stats. Is Media one of your top 2? That is what is eating my battery. If not, calibrate your battery after installing a new ROM. There's an app for that called Battery Calibration.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Media is not on the list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxcaos:
Might not be the rom, Try going back to stock for a day or two and see if your battery gets better, and try and keep it as stock as possible don't download to many apps only the ones you need. my wife had a simular problem she would leave her phone and come back to it and have less then 50% in 4hrs after trying for a few days to fix it she called up Verizon told them about the bad battery life and how It was completely stock they sent her a new phone now her battery is so much better 12hrs at 50-60% left, that's with lite texting and checking emails
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
When you say go back to stock, do you mean back to the out of box state, or just flash one of the stock roms in this section?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chocolate8175:
I believe he means odin to stock jb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxcaos:
Odin back to like new out of the box, if you see little to no difference then it's

Your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
No, not running a startup manager. With stock ICS, it was fine but RAM utilization is higher with this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zelet:
Get yourself better. Update us on how you're doing when you can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
I lost 22% over night while the phone was in deep sleep. That shouldn't happen, should it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxcaos:
I lose about 6-10% for around 8hr sleep time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
I think that NetworkLocationLocator is causing my drain, no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Your screen shot shows 3.2%/hr. Not the 10% you originally claimed.

If you're getting 14+ hours on a charge, you're fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
The 10% per hour was before I disabled some things that were syncing. You don't think 3.2% per hour,when not touching the phone, is high?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxcaos:
This was with gps, gmail and data sync on, fully charged then disconnected before going to bed and lite use the whole next day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
No. I really don't watch stuff like that anyways. I don't use any battery saving techniques and have all sorts of things syncing and get decent battery life.

It's a smartphone. Don't cripple it to squeeze an extra hour out of it :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
Wow, I can't even come remotely close to 19 hours on a charge, and you still have 51% left? I would lose about 60% just while the phone was sleeping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
I would say something is wrong with your phone/battery

Testers of the kor version are reporting random reboots, they say all is working well but getting random reboot here and there, so I'm gonna leave it to the user to flash a kernel of choice I'm just gonna stick with stock in my ROMs, I'm still very much under the weather been in bed 2 days now but I'm gonna try and finish up in a bit and get it uploaded
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Hey Rem! Any reason why I have a delay when using the volume button skip track mod? Sometimes it takes up to 15 seconds to switch to the next track. Current song stops and then silence until the next song plays. Should I just flash KindaCrapMods to see if it helps? anyone else have this issue?

Edit: I tried flashing kindacrapmod and still have the delay. This is the first ROM I've had this problem with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 56K:
Feeling better?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
This function works fine for me.
