I've experienced a few lock-ups between last night and today. I haven't figured out a common denominator. I'll try to explain the situation for each one briefly. In each case, the screen was stuck on whatever it was currently displaying. The power button would turn the screen off and either the power button or the home key would wake the phone, but it would immediately go to the screen it was "stuck" on. Nothing else is responsive. Fix has been holding down the power button or doing a battery pull. Upon reboot, it seems fine.

1. Browsing using the Chrome browser 2 tabs open, nothing else really running. Froze on webpage. (not plugged in)

2. This morning, my alarm went off. I snoozed twice and the third time the alarm came on, I was able to silence it, but the alarm screen was frozen. (plugged in to wall charger)

3. After rebooting, I drove to work (short drive) and it froze on the lock screen. Not responsive at all. (plugged in to car charger)

4. I deleted and readded Facebook to get my accounts to sync properly. When I opened Facebook, it was on the blue starting screen and froze there. (plugged in to wall charger)

In between there, I tried rewiping Dalvik/cache and I fixed permissions, for what it is worth.

I installed with stock TouchWiz and stock kernel for install options. I have flashed the 4.2 apps zip and am using the 4.2 launcher. Issues may very well be related to that, but just putting it out there.

Great ROM, I just need to remove these few forced restarts and it'll be perfect.

Try reflashing and no 4.2 apps for a couple of days.

I've been using this rom, same install for nearly four months flawlessly. But the past four or five days I have been getting random reboots and every once in awhile android.acore something or other has stopped working, any ideas why this would be the case? No new apps, a few updates here and there on some apps, but not sure why this would just randomly start happening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Just go into custom recovery and do a wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Should do the trick. It's just a buildup of data which can become corrupted.

Have a great day!

OK guys, Google has failed me....need some help on getting rid of 2 kernel wakelocks "main" and "smndcntl0"

Eyes are blurry from reading useless threads. Did a Factory Reset when I was barely getting 2 hours screen time and huge Android OS...it is better...can get to 3 hours screen time and Android OS is in the low 20's. But these 2 are still too high.

Thanks!

When will this ROM update to 4.3?

If I want a 4.3 ROM, what is the best TW ROM for that? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
This DEV for this ROM will more then likely update when 4.3 is officially released for SPH-L710. As far as TW 4.3 ROMS look around read and try them all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Hence the name... "Android Pirate"... very clever.

Kenny don't do no leaks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
About a month after Sprint/Samsung finally releases it. The 4.3 ROMs you are seeing are AOSP, not Touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
So I see my new wakelocks stumped The People as well...may need to odin in stock and flash clean...maybe stock kernel and see how that goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I did several searches. A few hours worth of searching came up with nothing definitive :( .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thanks for the time buddy. I can see that "main" is the time it takes for the kernel to shut down so that must mean something is waking the kernel and it takes a minute to go back to sleep. I haven't changed the kernel from when it used to stay at 100% for 3 hours. So I am thinking full formats of system and data and reflash is all I have left.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
[MENTION=3125148]kennyglass123[/MENTION] Google services could be the changes which are affecting your devices Wakelocks. Especially since it's something new, most likely since something updated. Keep in mind Google is now not developing major changes in android OS but in their apps. This is in order to try to stop some of the fragmentation within android.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Yes, I have seen some of those listed as (updated) in Titanium. I was hoping the factory reset would have cleaned those up...which it helped a little but still no where near what I had about a month ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Greenify!!!

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Greenify does not work on system apps :(

But I am also thinking could be an sd card issue...especially the sndcntl0 wakelock. I may format the sd card when I get a chance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes it does. Because using titanium backup you can move all those google apps to user apps then greenify. Which is recommended with google services.

It could also be sd card like you said :confused:

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Y U ONLY TEL ME DIS NOW?

LOL...Thanks Ed...I will give that a shot with the sd card and a clean flash...something's got to work out of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
If I'm not mistaken the donate version of Greenify allows one to Greenify system apps if the experimental features are activated through Xposed. [MENTION=4169204]edfunkycold[/MENTION] is that right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes that is true to also. But if you wish to use the free version of greenify you would just make the app a user app instead of a system app and then Greenify. I would not recommend doing this with any system app but as google is now intergrating G+, hangouts, GMail (gapps)and all those apps as system you can still move those out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] george1614:
Um, what exactly is greenify? I seen it mentioned and always thought it was some kind of green theme or something. I will search for it on too for the answer

I just tried MalwareByte's AntiMalware (been using their PC app for years), and it found that Torch.apk and QuickPanelSettings.apk (both in /system/app) are infected with trojan.sms.fakelogo... I checked the copies in the original TPR 3.17 zip and found the same - any thoughts from [MENTION=3125148]kennyglass123[/MENTION] and the team?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
*cough* bullcrap *cough*

often these are fake positives.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Just checking, MalwareBytes on the pc has always been pretty reliable so I thought it was worth asking. Did those files come from the stock rom? (I think quick panel is extra, not sure about the torch). My understanding is that that Trojan sends texts to numbers that cost money, a problem that I've never seen on the bill, so a false positive makes sense. I know that it wouldn't be an intentional addition from the team, so I figured that if it was real then it came from something else I'd installed... except that it was present in the originals in the install zip, and it's unlikely that a virus would specifically target the same apks in the system directory and a compressed archive file on my sd card, lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] src182:
Same thing happened to me on MOAR v6

Its probably a false positive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Moar started as a TPR based rom, so they probably have identical copies of those files - I'm not arguing that it's a false positive, but that reasoning doesn't prove anything either way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
My guess is it is searching for a specific string which those both must have in an XML. No idea what they can be. Torch came from MOAR and quickpanel from the beginning ported.

Funk,

Thanks for the reply. Have to be honest, i'm a little lost here. Google services?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Not exactly. I suspect the sndcntl0 may be a sign of trouble reading the sd card. Not sure if that affects the "main" wakelock I was getting. However more weirdness prevails...all of a sudden my anchor battery would never show a green light for fully charged unless I rebooted. So I powered down, changed to the stock battery, cleared cache and dalvik and used that yesterday. Android OS was still high BUT I had 2 hours screen time at 50% battery remaining....so something is getting better. It may be the anchor battery going bad or the NFC chip in it acting up...not sure. WIll continue to investigate and then get back to seeing about an update before Sprint throws me a curve ball.

How would I go about removing the theming on the stock email application? Not Gmail, but the other one. I have pulled the apk from a different ROM and pushed it but it is still themed.. witchcraft.

Finally rooted the S3, came from the old OG Epic and lived and died by the people's ROM. great work to all involved once again.

Now to the question at hand. Not really lovin the lock screen I chose, can I just flash another, or do I have to reflash completely?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Lock screen you should be able to just change in settings.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
There was like 4 to chose from while flashing, thought I chose the stock one but it's different. Through settings you can adjust the shortcuts etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
You mean launcher. Just download another from Play.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
Thought the lock screen was a separate thing. Thought I chose stock launcher then, but has a different feel. I'll guess I'm going to have to start looking then. Thanks for the quick response, and apologized for the silly question? Been away from the flashing thing for awhile.

Okay, I'll try to find the post. I'll let you more if I get it.

Lockscreen changing is in settings under lock screen settings. Launchers are what you set your home screens on and launch apps from. Just grab Nova or Apex launcher from Play.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Danny1st:
I understand the difference, when I chose the "stock" launcher during install I assumed it would have the same lock screen as out of the box. So apparently I chose the wrong launcher... not a big deal, Just different. For instance, while in the unlock screen I could Swype anywhere on the screen to unlock it. Now I have to grab the lock icon at the bottom center and drag it to the unlock icon. Again... not a big deal. Just had the phone for almost a year so "old habits are hard to break" kinda thing.

With that being said, my errors aside, this ROM is unbelievable once again. Fast, stable, and to top it off, the community of support is second to none. Great job to all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Again, go into Settings>Lockscreen and change it to stock lockscreen and you do have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
[MENTION=3557137]Danny1st[/MENTION]

Lockscreen is one thing a Launcher is another. One has nothing to do with the other.

You can have any Launcher you want stock, Nova, Apex, modified stock, Go Launcher etc.... And he any Lockscreen you want.

It's like you can have a White S3 with a black case or a Pebble Blue S3 with a white case. It's independent of each other.

Have a great day!

I'm too am using Widget Locker from oh, forever I believe and never had any problems with it, in fact that was the one of the first apps I installed when I got the S3. And TPR is the only rom my phone has ever saw. What's the issue you have?

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. The issue is that the stock lock screen takes over and does not allow widget locker to operate. Maybe a setting I missed? Thanks!

Did you try turning off the lockscreen? It is in the quickpanel toggles.

Try disabling swype lock in lockscreen settings, that setting tend to confuse widget locker.

I know its not the correct place to post but since I am running tpr . But wanted to give heads up or see if anyone else has had the same issue I have lookout installed and updated this morning to new update and then lost date signal. Had to flash my back up to get signal again. I think the issue was the update but not sure . Just giving heads up for all the peps on TPR.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Any mods installed, or just TPR? That information will help in determining what combination of components contributed to your problem, which will in turn help others to avoid it. While it could be an incompatibility with a component of the rom, it could also be due to a component that you added (and that many others habitually add as well) or simply a new bug in the app itself - more data will help :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] livis n fur:
No mods . Just clean tpr . When I got up this morning my phone was fine. I saw that I had a notification from play store for a lookout app update . So I updated and got ready for work, while on my way picked up my phone n noticed no signal so I rebooted n still nothing the I remembered that I had updated the app so I figured thats what caused it. I've been on TPR for quite a while n haven't had any issues like that. Later on tonight I'm gonna try the update again and see if I get the same results. Since I was able to flash my backup to fix the issue.

Never the wrong place amongst The People. As G-man stated editing the build.prop for any occurrence of 4.1.2 with 4.2.2 or 4.3 may do the trick....or life as we know it could cease to exist. One or the other, or something in between I am sure.
