Problem?

i just flashed X2 this morning and my battery life went down the gutter, i was no x1 and it was great but as soon as i flashed this i gave me issues, did i do something wrong?

First I tried the "dirty install" since i was on x1 i assumed i might not need to do a full wipe, but i encountered that issue, so i reinstalled it, this time doing a full wipe through aroma installer.

now my battery stats show "media" at 60% and i don't know what to do, my battery only laster from 4am this morning to about 11 AM by this time the phone shut itself off.

on the sub apps i see

DRM Protected Content Storage

Downloads

com.sec.android.providers.downloads

Media Storage

Downloads

i just installed "Rescan Media Root", Battery Calibrator, and SD card monitor in hopes to further diagnose this but might it be an issue with the rom or is it just my phone?

I can provide DDMS logs if needed

After the rom has installed and once you got into the setup wizard, did you wait for 5 minutes and then rebooted your device?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Trooth412:
Ohh okay makes sense why it dosnt work thanks guys
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bofiana:
Let me chime in here since this just happened with me too. Flashed X2 on the day it came out. Was having horrible battery life, phone was getting hot as hell and both cores of the phone were just pinging off the charts. I did multiple clean installs, different downloads of the ROM, even odin'd back to stock but same fricken issue. It was driving me nut. Finally saw that Media Server was off the charts and probably why both cores on the phone were going all crazy. I used kms.apk (an app to kill media server) and noticed that as soon as I did that, all was good again. So this told me that I had some rogue picture file on my SDcard that was causing this. I went through my media and deleted every pic/screenshot that I didn't really care about. Low and behold, one of them was the culprit because now my phone is FINALLY sleeping like a baby. :good:

Worth a shot, man. Good luck.

New mod in the OP section that you can flash for Darthstalker X2...My "DEVICE STATUS INFO "NORMAL" INSTEAD OF "MODIFIED" MOD!!! just flash it and that's it!!!

Edited just read OP good job Jovy love your roms
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ferny_dx:
well i cant say i did since i didn't have a clock next to me but i did my best guess,

i installed the ROM, let it load once in the wizard i waited to what to my knowledge was 5 mins, restarted the phone and went through the wizard.if i cant fix this within the next few hours ill try to reflash again

Anyone know if I can revert back to stock TW theme on this rom and how?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Run the aroma installer again and only select stock theme and don't wipe anything but dalvik and cache.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
On next update im going to try to add way more themes into the aroma for darthstalker especially the stock S3 theme for the ones who wants it. Hopefully i can get it all working right. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rbtady:
Thanks, I realized you can skip right past the theme sections without selecting one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
ew: X2

Thanks for the information Jovy, this new Darthstalker X2 is all you said it would be.

It works perfectly for me after I flashed it for the first time. (I only flashed it once) :)

The only thing I have against this rom which makes me sad is that it's not compatible with my daughter's iPhone!

LoL

Thanks again for all the time and work you put into these roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bofiana:
Maybe instead, if u have another SDcard, throw that puppy in and see how ur phone runs. If it runs good, then its definitely something on the original SDcard.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: media scan

If you have 6-7 GB of pictures alone I would suggest you make sure that your external sdcard is Class 10.

I am sure you have other media files too like music and videos all of which need a fast sdcard for good performance

and fast scanning.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chupektong:
Jovy , Thanks a lot for excellent Rom. I just moved from Liquid Smooth to DS X2.

Your DS X2 is beyond my expectation even though I thought LS is perfect but after I install this Rom I will not go back. :good:

The stock one that came with the rom is amazing. I have benchmarks scores of 5400 & above without OC. The other one mentioned is having issues with new rom. It caused my phone to slow down as a result. I reflashed the X2 with the stock and all is well now.

Just an item of note: It looks like after I flashed this MOD the themed Motomoto icons in settings defaulted back to stock. I suppose that is to be expected since the mod makes changes to the SecSettings.apk and it's no big deal to me but I thought I'd mention it for the sake of knowledge on the thread.

I modded the SystemUI.apk to revert back to the stock theme if you want to use it. If you don't want to it's fine, I also won't give it out without your permission. Keep up the good work man!

X2 with this kernel just kills it. Jovy, u outdid yourself and all other Roms with this one man.

Quadrant Score at 6k with Stock Kernel, thanks to jovy for this x2 rom......

I Modified SystemUI.apk back to stock, and combine a few xtremeperia Z stuff with it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Icy1906:
I'm not familiar with initial.d scrips. Noob question...how do I delete those for this rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Download "Es Explorer," I think it's included in the rom. Go to settings and click on root settings and sctive these settings:

Then go to the root of your phone and find system

Then you'll see a folder named "etc"

Click it and you should see a folder that says init.d and that's where the scripts are.

Yes really ..I had the forbidden on X1 and X2 while Quadrant numbers higher stock kernel is giving me better battery...stock for me is smoother.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
Yes it's definitely working on mine for Android and Swype Beta using the USA Tmobile version of X2. As I said, I chose not to install the Samsung keyboard though. I will be more than happy to compare any differences we may have on the install. I know you are a long time user so I doubt we are looking at user error with the install.

Edit: Maybe in this case you can try restoring TTS apps from Titanium to see if that helps. I had an issue with a couple apps not working on X2 but I solved it by restoring backups I had from X1. I don't usually like doing that as like to start fresh with a new

ROM but whatever works right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Qverse:
Jovy Darthstalker ROMs all have been the best ROMs on my T-mobile S3 since day one. For me this is most likely on my end, I am just trying to an edge of what i tinkered with that might have cause it .. and I think you give me the clue TTS app :good: I will try during lunch.. :good::good:

Though as mentioned earlier, TT. Anything that doesn't work, if I do not have a backup already I find one that does and back up and restore. Give it a shot works for me 99% of the time. Though I had an incident in X2 where it just kinda hung there and not backed up....when back to the aroma, selected the option again, install and once I rebooted, it was working perfectly.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

Modifed device will keep you from installing some apps I believe and also making full uses of others...I can't fully remember which though because I personally do not use those features / apps so I never really pay much mind to it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
I haven't been using Darthstalker as long as you since I've only owned the GS3 for a little over a month but I've been flashing since my G1 and I can honestly say that Darthstalker has been THE MOST STABLE experience of any ROM I've flashed on any phone I've owned. I've been so impressed and enjoying it so much that I haven't even bothered to window shop and try all the ROMs available on the forum which is unusual for me.

On X2 I only had 2 apps that wouldn't play nice. I almost went back to X1 because I couldn't figure out why even though I was installing them fresh but luckily a titanium data restore worked so I'm thinking that maybe those apps had some updates that no longer make them usable on a fresh install? Who knows? I got them to work again so I'm happy. X2 is solid, I get great battery life, everything works, and the extra features are great and getting better. I already donated once after I installed X1 and I plan to do so again tomorrow when I get paid. That's one way I choose to give back since I don't develop.

I use a app called Nandroid manager It allows me to restore apps + app data and compare the backup version and the installed version right from any of your Nandroid backups. Its a little tricky but has alot of but Very nice functions. I have never been able to figure out why Nandroid backup it never has the correct dates. So went I do a backup I rename it to the right date. Anyway back to trying to figure out the voice text issue. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siani_8:
I forgot to mention this. One thing I've noticed since I've owned the GS3, is that voice to text does not work while I'm in my car connected to my vehicle's Bluetooth. I'm not sure if that's a safety feature or a limitation of the device but I thought it might be worth mentioning. Are you by any chance connected to Bluetooth when the text to speech isn't working? If you are, try disconnecting from your Bluetooth source and see if that helps.

Ok for the people with the Keyboard voice issue since that voice stuff actually refers to google now voice, in X2 I have added some new google now libs from the latest google now update and hopefully one of it is the cause since I think I have left the old google now lib files.

Here is the two libs I have added...

libgoggles_clientvision.so

libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so

and the old ones are...

libgoogle_endpointer_jni.so

libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so

try to delete one, following a reboot to see if its one of those lib files is the cause of the keyboard voice not working or showing hopefully caused by the old libs. Make sure to backup the rom first before testing. Thanks...

If you ever need the original kernel from a ROM, just reflash it without wiping. You won't lose your setup. (Sometimes you might have to readjust a few settings after the reflash)

Are you saying reflash Darthstalker X1 ? or the stock samsung firmware? (sorry if this is a stupid question - Just don't want to cause myself more headache or panic)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Stock Kernel

No need to flash stock rom.

Just re-flash Darthstalker and be sure to click the box where it says "NoWipe" in the

Aroma installer then select the same theme, same apps as you have done to start with.

Doing that will flash the stock kernel automatically and keep all

apps which you have installed intact as well as your settings.

Good Luck!
