If you dirty flashed you'll need to remove the widgets from the home screen then redo them. A few widgets won't get resized because they were for 4x4 layout. Some will be just fine because Samsung calender, clock and 3rd party apps have the layout for tablets and stuff. If you don't like the 5x5 layout, then I have the original launcher in my thread. It will be safe to just flash over.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phoneguy589:
Yes, it will be seen on your data usage. It will think your device is using the data not a tethered device. I guess with all the shared plans out there they aren't checking who is actually tethering. Technically they can tell anyone it's tethering because your device assigns a mac address and the new mac address is the one requesting the web data. They were real picky when there was a lot of unlimited plans but like me, I switched to the family share which includes tethering.I haven't heard of anyone getting notices in a while.

as an option, have yall thought about using Nova? it is my favorite launcher so far i think (Apex is good as well).. and it allows you to change the grid size, number of dock icons, all that.. and no need for modified TW launchers :P runs smooth and i think way worth using over TW.. to me, no reason to use the TW one's but i could be missing a reason ;)

The latest version rocks and fully stable for me for the last 2 days. Live the 5x5 launcher with exception of couple of apps breaking which is manageable.

Your updates keep me glued to xda daily. One suggestion over the period of time you have added several new mods which are unique to this ROM but in the change logs never seen battery improvements being mentioned. Can you please throw some light on this. I have noticed the reduced size of the ROM since last couple of updates.

Battery is the most important factor for me and I can sacrifice anything for it apps, launchers. I use the s3 only for 3 reasons calls, emails and internet.

I'm running into force close issues when trying to add shortcuts to the default lock screen. I'm on 1.7 with a clean install, I had the same issues on 1.6 as well. The error shows "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." I tried to clear system settings data, but am still getting the error. Is there another quick fix I can try? Everything else seems to work perfectly, thank you for the rom!

Edit: saw in the search that it may have to do with the theme I'm running. It's the 23 toggle center clock blue themed.

Dirty flashed the rom again, set my shortcuts, then flashed the theme. All is well.

If you already use this Rom then you know battery life is outstanding. Plus it varies for each user so it's prob tough for a dev to make claims about better battery life.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
I have not looked into any battery saving tweaks because I feel most of them are placebos. I could have "battery tweaks" in the next change log without doing anything and a half dozen people would post screenshots of their battery usage saying that the new build is much better. I need to do some research because I'm sure there are some things that truly help, but I wonder why wouldn't Google/Samsung implement them.

The main thing you should do is be smart about your data usage. Lte sucks battery. Most people have multiple weather apps syncing every hour, and a bunch of apps that poll data without the user even knowing. Clear apps you don't use, or back them up with TB and then uninstall. Just be wary of what's going on with data and you'll be surprised at how much more battery life you can get. Of course if you're on wifi all the time then this doesn't really do much for you, but it's still something to think about.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 65coupei6:
Battery tweaks are nice. But, like everyone posts. It depends on how you use your device.

If you really want to have better battery life then flash a different kernel, undervolt and change i/o & governors.

I have had real good battery life with both of these:

Android system / OS usage

Hey Loserskater,

First off just want to say that this is an amazing Touchwiz rom and incorporates a wide gamut of features that are found across several roms, making it that much better!

My question comes in regard to the battery usage. I have noticed since 1.6, that android OS/system are now using a significant amount of battery power compared to pre 1.6 roms. I attributed my 1.6 battery drain to the bravia engine, however after installing 1.7, I am still experiencing similar usage statistics in my settings app. While its not like the pre-official jellybean days of android system using over 50 %, I am noticing an increase in those aforementioned battery categories and was wondering:

1. If anyone else has been experiencing this since 1.6?

2. If you or anyone else has a solution on how to reduce battery consumption from android system/OS.

I am currently using power saving mode and get around 1.5 - 2 hours of screen time before Im below 10 %. Don't feel like thats typical.

Appreciate any input you guys may have.

Keep up the amazing work!

Edit: When i dirty flashed 1.7 over 1.6, I made sure that the bravia engine was not installed/checked in the mods app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
Do you guys notice a big difference with having the bravia engine installed? I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra battery drain in your opinion. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
I guess what's dim and bright is subjective! ;)

I chose the "brightness slider & stock clock" mod and it works well. I prefer to just keep the brightness slider in the middle with "auto" unchecked.

If you are unable to properly adjust your brightness settings, you may want to try reflashing the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
It has to be something you installed because volumes work perfect for me. Does it happen

on a clean flash before you restore apps?

I'm still getting high usage from those, but it's been awhile since I've done a clean install. Remove bloat that you don't need.

I didn't notice much of a difference when using bravia engine.

About 1 hr talk time, 1 hr on-screen time, 30 mins of spotify & bluetooth and got through a 15 hr day with 48% remaining. GSAM projected 25 hrs total battery life. It actually exceeded what I was getting with AOKP, nice work!

i could never get decent battery with AOKP on this phone. After i switched back to this ROM, i got great battery life stock. I installed Ktoon's kernel, UV -100, OC to 1809 and changed to his modified conservative governor, and I've been getting the best battery life ever. While on standby I lose 2% in 3 hours. While on AOKP, i would lose 3% an hour. To be fair, i removed a whole bunch of apps when i left AOKP, and on the Nexus 4's AOKP with the Faux kernel, I get the best battery for any rom/kernel combo i used.

Brightness

Did a search...couldn't find anything to specifically answer this.

I'm on 1.7...I like NOT having the brightness slider...but the brightness toggle in the Status bar is not working for me. It's either full bright or auto. I try adjusting the settings in AdvancedS app....tried a few different ones...and still the only toggle I get is Auto or Full Bright. I've reflashed the ROM twice from full wipes, tried downloading the toggle mods from David Dee's thread, but getting the same result.

It was kinda weird...on the second flash I tried the toggle as soon as I got the ROM booted and logged in and it actually toggled Full, Half then Auto. But immediately after, back to only Full and Auto.

Anybody else see this behavior?

Any fix?

Thanks!
