Is there a way you could add AOSP lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
I can set up wallpapers just fine. What camera/gallery are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexcolodner:
Alright, thanks for that info. I will dig a bit deeper and run some tests. I am going to have to put out a small incremental update to b4 anyway to fix a couple small bugs, so if my tests yield good results you might see it in there.

There is a way.... maybe I will!

If it is the note 2 gallery, you wont be able to change lockscreen wallpaper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
@Alex

The default TW folder layout is different on this leak compared to the last few. Opens a little slower and has a different "closed" layout. Hard to explain. Anyone else second what I'm saying? They should have tweaked it so it closes the damn folder once you launch an app from it. Lol. Biggest pet peeve with TW JB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prztruspaz:
I'm using 4.2 camera and gallery ; I really like the gallery what your using
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e1ement08:
So I have to flash the rpm and modem before flashing the rom?

Edit: sorry for all the questions but I am new to the Verizon section. Trying to help my brother get a good rom on his phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
You don't have to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexcolodner:
Ohh i thought you were talking about the actual system folder/file structure. I never use the folders feature so I can't really comment on it. I did not personally tweak it so if it is different, then samsung did it.

I just wiped and reintalled with the 4.2 gallery and camera. I successfully changed both wallpapers. However, if you are in the gallery and trying to set it from there (set as), it seems there is no option to set lockscreen wallpaper. It probably has something to do with the fact that the lockscreen is not the asop lockscreen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e1ement08:
OK because I was trying to flash the file on my brothers phone and it kept saying SH1 check failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexcolodner:
I have fixed this issue, and re-uploaded. My bad.

Try this one:

VRBLK3_rpm_and_modem

So until the JB Mms is updated for the K3 leak, it wont work. Flash this to install working AOSP messaging app. No quickreply but everything works.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vdub2pt0:
I use the note 2 gallery and have never had an issue setting lockscreen wallpaper on any rom. As long as you go through the gallery to set it, it should work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Is this the refugee ROM? Everybody hanging here since no rom have been rebaase to LK3 except this one :D

iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Alex, you officially got me hooked on this rom! Those init.d scripts, especially that CPU script has in my experience out performed every rom in terms of battery and performance!

More than 70% battery left with almost a complete hour and a half of Tapatalk and Web browsing!

Also, Android System and Android Os seems to be quiet in my battery graph. Look at that high percentage of Screen percentage ;) Appreciate your work Alex!

EDIT: I'm also at 90% screen brightness this whole time ;)

Flashed rom, looked and feels smooth noticed gps wasn't locking. Loved the camera options, but what's the deal with the gps not locking kept saying retry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] real0325:
I can't get it to load, it just sits at the galaxy logo.

Redownload the rom. Must have been a bad download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ronin09:
I can't change my lockscreen....

Suggestions anyone....I am using 4.2 camera and gallery...is that the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
You can't change the wallpaper? If so, it's a known problem. Check back a few pages.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I'm having trouble getting my cpu settings to stick. For some reason the min is set too high at 486 mhz, I want it at 384 as low but it keeps bouncing back. Will lean kernel work with this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Thanks for a great ROM Alex. Loving it so far. Came from Synergy and I'm just checking out what you've done here. So far everything seems to be running well other than that damn pesky wifi-notification in the extended status bar.

I had installed the Note 2 camera also and noticed it was not installed. I went looking for it and noticed that it was installed in system/app/app. You have the aroma installer putting in one extra app folder. Maybe can be fixed in the next build? For those that have the problem just move the SamsungCamera.apk into the /system/app folder and reboot. Screenshot below.

Also, maybe you can ask some of the other developers on what they edited to fix the wifi notification.

Thanks again

How do I remove the AC!D Audio? I just want stock no non-sense audio support for my toyota entune app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
In the Aroma install, there's an option to skip the AC!D Audio install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BossJ:
My CPU is stuck at 1024 for max? why??? rom is very sluggish for me.. gah! i want the amazing battery life!!!

PS this ROM looks amazing! Hope I can feel what everyone else is feeling!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Check my post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35206090&postcount=269

I explain why that is happening. And here's the original thread of the CPU script that clearly explains why your CPU is doing that: [Script] CPU Control, ScreeON&OFF tweaks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BossJ:
So is that what it's supposed to be doing? So I should keep that script in there and use it like it is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Yeah, if you're on stock kernel. I would recommend deleting the script if you're going to flash a custom kernel. But the script is suppose to boost performance and help save battery. Doing so by lowering the Max Freq Levels according to battery level. Example: At 85% the Max Freq the CPU will load up to may be 1350, but when the battery drains down to 70%, the script will automatically tell the CPU to lower the Max Freq to 1242 Mhz to save battery. The farther down the battery drains, the less Max Freq the CPU can ramp up to. The lowest Max Freq this script will allow for the phone to run is 702 Mhz. It does slow down the smoothness but your phone's battery will last a long time when it reaches 25% or less.

Here is how good the script works. This is with heavy usage and I had brightness set at 90% the whole time!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BossJ:
ahh gotcha... ok I'll run it for a few days and see if I can deal with the lag at low levels. :D Not sure I want the CPU down at 1.0 at 50%... i'll try it though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Well, you can tweak the script yourself. It's just for more advanced users who don't need a CPU tuner app to do it. And actually, the governor is tweaked so you really can't feel any lag at the lower levels. It's only when at 702 Mhz that you feel the sluggishness lol The phone is still usable and stable though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BossJ:
sweeet!! I'll run this and give it a go! looks all good tho!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
It seems to be locking the cpu at the max speed when the screen is on looking at it on better battery stats to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
What battery percentage level are you at?

EDIT: Link to Freeza's thread on how the script works: [Script] CPU Control, ScreeON&OFF tweaks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexcolodner:
As far as GPS, its hit or miss with any rom really. Depends on what you are coming from. Try download a GPS Test app and using it to configure your agps info. If it doesnt work, odin back to stock ICS firmware, then wipe and flash. That *should* fix it.

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Thanks a lot for going through this. I know it is not optimized for our kernel, but I had used it for a few weeks or so before releasing this rom and it was great for my battery. It never noticeably poorly affected performance. I didn't really think about how it would affect other kernels so thanks a lot for pointing it out. I will go through your revised script and make any changes I think appropiate if any and include the revised script in the next update. Very useful post though!

Ahh great catch! I will be sure to fix it and put it in the update. Haven't had time to debug it yet. I have been pretty busy this weekend. Appreciate you looking into it. Also, I was planning on removing it but then the new K3 leak dropped and I got caught up in rebasing the whole rom. I will work on it for the next one.

So yeah... the script is doing what it is supposed to be doing. As DroidOnRoids pointed out, this script was optimized for a particular kernel, not for all kernels. The benefits you get on the stock samsung kernel that comes packaged with this rom are great in my opinion. DroidOnRoids has suggested a way to make it work even better and I will work with him to make it even better for the next update.

If you are using another kernel or want to edit the CPU settings, delete the script from system/etc/init.d and you should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
The K1 modem had the best GPS out of any modem so far, basically instant lock with 18+ satellites outdoors and even good locking speed/accuracy indoors. Seems like the k3 modem took a step back. Took about 2-3 minutes to lock outside today and not getting a lock in my house right now.

But my phone seems to hate any JB modem right now so... I'm just waiting patiently for the official release and then getting a replacement until one has working 4g data/gps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
You can always go back to an Ice Cream Sandwich modem if the Jelly Bean modems don't perform well. Fortunately every modem that I flashed improved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
I guess I find the improvements of JB over ICS TW worth the performance drop in data. Something along the lines of 15mb/sec download at home on ICS or 1mb/sec at home on JB, plus random loss of data, and mostly being stuck on 3g even in areas I was pulling 30mb/sec on 4g speeds.

Only solution I haven't tried is a new sim card... don't really feel like hassling with that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
Has the backlight levels been tweaked in this ROM? They seem higher with power savings on than clean ROM.

Also is recommend to everyone to turn off automatically report my location in Google maps. It will wake lock a lot if its enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] craigrn16:
I noticed on B4 is missing a feature b3 had. It was when you were in camera mode you could just say cheese and it would take the pic or if your phone was ringing you could just say answer and it would. anyway to do that on B4 or get it back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
Are anyone else's pictures extremely dark with the note 2 camera? Mine are super dark. Anyone have a stock camera and gallery I can flash?

Edit

Never mind. It was power savings making the screen too dark when viewing the picture.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Cheese didnt seem to work for me by shoot did. I had to set up s voice first though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Ya, missing voice actions. I miss that too. Please bring it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
I think you can enable it through svoice setting. Is there svoice in this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Found a flashable zip that will remove the ongoing wifi notification. It was written for CleanRom J1 base, but I flashed it and it works perfectly with B4 version of this rom. I see no ill effects and my wifi notification is finally gone! For those of you who want to get rid of it before Alex encodes it in, here you go:

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Ah, maybe that's why I don't see it. I didn't install Svoice since I prefer google now. I extracted out svoice and installed it manually and now I have the voice actions configured and available in the camera settings. Thanks for the help :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
Dirty flash from CleanRom and all is well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
I don't think that was such a good idea. Especially with changes to the base and under the hood tweaks. Why couldn't you just start fresh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
I think it's fine because, even if it's a new base, it's a minor leap from k1 to k3. And I personally don't see any problem from dirty flashing unlike the others, unless I jump to or from aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sabbotage:
Is anyone else seeing the GPS icon change to the download symbol when GPS gets a lock? Mine keeps doing that....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
Start fresh is overrated so much. If I have any trouble I can wipe but so far so good. The base is the same so no need to do something unnecessary.

Battery drains super hard on this build!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] philseven:
+1 for me also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
Haven't been able to confirm battery drains on this build since I've just started configuring it and such, but I did notice that the GPS symbol changes to a "download" symbol when a lock is acquired. Is this a bug, or how it is supposed to be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Change the cpu governor. The msm-dcvs is known not for its battery saving abilities, more for performance. Its a governor that qualcomm made for our cpu that does awesome voltage scaling but iirc it always has both cores online and scaled up together. Im getting awesome battery with leankernel with ondemand, I also deleted the init script that was talked about a couple pages back. The voltages in that script were way to high even though you cant change them on the stock kernel. After looking thru the script it looks to be a lot more performance/lag oriented then battery life. I am getting no lag what so ever personally and thats why I like this rom, and the simple status bar theme is also plus :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
If we want to keep the init script, is there any benefit to changing the governor of the stock kernel? Or should we just leave it to msm-dcvs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Its always gonna be battery vs performance. I forget which governors the stock kernel uses but ondemand is the most widely used by far. Performance will put both cores on the top speed and leave em there while conservative will do the opposite and lock em at the lowest speed. Here is a little write up on what governors do what http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1736168 You can use system tuner or another app that will lock the cpu freq to whatever you choose when the screen is off, for me I set it at 486mhz iirc. Also make sure you have no wakelocks keeping the phone out of a deep sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
Thanks, I actually changed the governor on the stock kernel, and it appears something (maybe the script?) changed it back... I'm just gonna see how battery is on here first before putting a custom kernel on. I used LeanKernel on my TBolt, and had some issues, so I may hold off for a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Don't change any governors or frequencies. There's a reason why that governor is geared more performance in some scenarios. The CPU script is designed so that when the battery drains to a certain level, it tells the CPU what it's max frequency will be and how it will be governed. That's why OnDemand is the start out governor because the CPU is clocked at a higher frequency. When the battery drains more, the CPU is underclocked more and to compensate for that, the governor is switch to a more performance based governor which in this case is msm-dcvs.

And you can change what frequencies and governors by editing the script.

EDIT: If you're going to put a custom kernel in other than stock, delete the CPU script in system/etc/initd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
for what its worth i deleted all the scripts out of init.d (I prefer to manage it with system tuner) and am running on demand with a max CPU on 1.2. I've got zero lag and battery is great (as good as i was getting on clean ROM 5). I found that using the powersave in settings limited the cpu to 1ghz and there was occasional lag. But a bump to 1.2 and I've noticed none.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Milly7:
Yes. It says renice failed.

On another note, maps is running rampant on me. Awake time over an hour and a half, and I have unselected report from this device. Of course shutting off location services will fix it, but I never shut it off on any ROM on any one of my devices and do not have this issue. Any clues?

Or would one consider it normal given the amount of time since last charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
You can pull whatever camera apk you want out of the ROM zip you dowloaded. Just drag and drop the .apk to your phone and use a file manager to install the .apk you want.

Start in this folder of your zip archive and find the mod/camera you want: MLJBM_b4.zip\install\mods
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
The screen saving in the power save isnt for brightness. It lowers the refresh to conserve power, so if you notice a little lag or choppyness then disable it. I dont know what it brings it down to though, probably like 45hz from 60hz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnell:
Thanks,

Now I'm having an issue with my mic, when I make a call no one can hear me unless it's in speakerphone, not sure if rom, or replacement phone

If it were me i would try a reflash first, if that dont fix it then odin to a factory image, if that dont fix it then get the phone replaced.

As for the people curious about battery life without that init script, this is what I got. Keep in mind I did crap load of reboots and such during this time, wifi on all the time with a couple hours of 4g.
