Disable Google now, Currents and Google+. Use sync only when needed. If you use twitter, Facebook don't use push notifications. If you have battery drain etc use BBS and find the cause. Uninstall all useless applications.

hey, my problem is, that the keyboard is very unresponsive.. but it's only in WhatsApp.. I also tried the stock keyboard.. no help, the problem isn't there in officially based roms, so it's kinda CM10.1 related..

I wiped my device completely yesterday (including internal sdcard) to see if the problem will remain.. it did remain..

I hope you can help me with this, as I really don't want to go back to Samsung rom just because of this problem.. I have to, if we can't get this fixed as it annoys me pretty hard.

In other apps, for example the SMS app, there is no lag at all.

I made a video, but as i'm not home, I couldn't record it in the best quality, but I think it is still seeable, sorry for the audio, couldn't remove it, so I had to swap it with some crap..

Informations Request

Hi all guys

I'm going to receive a Galaxy S3 i9300 intl soon

I would like to know if there is any tip / suggestion before moving to CM10.1

I'm coming from Galaxy S i9000 (cm10.1 on it too)

Before intalling cm10.1 :

a) is better to update to latest samsung stock (odin) to get latest bootloader or whatever ?

if so, wich "latest" stock samsung do you suggest ?

b) camera firmware : same question, is included in latest samsung stock rom or i have to do some special "Trick" to update it ?

c) any suggested modem for cm10.1 (4.2.2) ?

d) Any other tip / trick ? (i heard that many peole suggest " forcing GPU rendering " in dev options )

any other trick ?

Thanks a lot for support to everyone
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Force 2D rendering in Developer Options.

Off-topic: use gesture typing, man!

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

a) Use the updated bootloader (present XELLA onwards), do not use CWM but PhilZ CWM-based recovery instead, and the latest CM10.1 nightly

b) Check firmware before flashing CM

c) Use your country's modem, or just don't bother doing anything to change it; it hardly matters

d) Forcing GPU rendering eradicates lag on certain apps. Use lockscreen sound to avoid the no-sound-in-call bug (technically, just play any sound on the phone before making/receiving the first call after boot). Some cameras: when using, flash, take a dummy picture without touching to focus. T2F will work after the dummy pic is taken, otherwise camera might crash
[Galaxy S III General] duffymm:
Can you please give more info about point A and B ?

A) wich stock exactely to install to be sure i get latest bootloader

where i get the cwm you suggest and why is better than cwm original ?

b) i can check with the secret codes the camera firmware, i know, but after i discover wich version i have, what i have to do to be sure is latest ? there is the secret code also to update it ?

thanks

thanks

ODIN uses a kernel too, which is supposedly in the bootloader.

I've just made a Tasker profile to play a sound 10 seconds after the phone is fully booted. That should work I guess
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
I would advise not to update to the new boot loader because it breaks going back to stock and resetting with triangle away. There is a lot of written about it. It is possible after that to return to the older boot loader, but involves using older stock rome and so on. A lot of trouble and the new boot loader is not giving any new improvements. SDS is mitigated through the kernel anyways, so avoid hassle and stay on the old boot loader with an easy going back in future.
[Galaxy S III General] nitinvaid:
still its not working after updatng adb and sdk
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Download mode has a micro kernel that is used to flash, it contains a MMC driver as well that should be fixed like the main kernel.

[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
I would not be so sure, and would certainly not advise others without enough knowledge.

AndreiLux (who separated the SDS fix from Update 7 drop) has mentioned that the bootloader might also need to be updated if you use Download mode to flash.

CWM users should be safe enough as long as they don't use Odin to update or flash anything (use Mobile Odin instead - it has been recently updated with SDS patch).
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
In the spirit of this CM10.1 thread, Odin, Mobile or otherwise, is moot.

There is no evidence one way or the other what measures Samsung took to avoid the SDS problem. We have an apparently "fixed" kernel and recovery kernel, whether the bootloader has any further effect is probably down to the end user and their view.

One thing though, it should be their decision alone and no-one can honestly advise them one way or another. Which is why I responded as I did. Personally, I will take a chance and enjoy the the "freedom" that the ICS bootloader provides me. And any subsequent consequences thereof.

It is interesting though that the flurry of apparent SDS phone problems peaked and faded...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
"Might need" doesn't make it so. I for one don't believe that the problem is in the bootloader. That's the price I'm gonna have to pay if and when my device craps out.
[Galaxy S III General] iMercie:
Hi,

The font is a bit unsharp. I came from 4.1.2 LXX4 and i liked the way of the font there. It was clear and shape. In CM 10.1 its more coarse in my opinion. Is there a way to change this back ?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Personally I am staying on the XELLA+ bootloader, the red sign on boot is annoying but you can take it out with triangle away. It will show off again if you enter recovery though, so triangle away every time I enter recovery and the red sign's gone. That's how I'm dealing with it. xD

It's not all that clear wether it's safe to stay on older bootloaders or not, so I rather play with triangle away, i got used to.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III General] tontiv:
is that the only problem with using a xella boot loader? if there's a small red exclamation point when booting then I can live with that :) question guys if I want to flash cm on my xella s3 then I have to flash an ICS firmware first right? will this also replace the boot loader to ICS?
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
XXELLA or later.

No and no. You don't have to flash an ICS ROM (old info remnant) and only Samsung stock PC Odin or KIES flashes can flash a bootloader (unless you do it deliberately manually) if it is present in the dump. Not all stock .tar dumps have a bootloader.
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
As I have said, you are OK if you don't use download mode to flash.

If you are going to use Odin, you better update to the newer ones, as it should have the MMC driver patched.

I'm afraid you both don't have a complete picture on how the SDS is patched.

The MMC driver from the kernel has some 'magic' code that is executed on each suspend and initialization which in turn patches the EMMC firmware in memory (a soft patch).

This code is necessary and it's not a one execute fix. It needs to be executed at those instances.

If you flash through Download mode, you are using a micro instance of a kernel which is different from the main kernel, thus it would require separate patching.

This is theorized by people who know far more than you or me on how the Linux kernel operates.

The fix is not a combination of factors, but rather it's applied on different scenarios that could be affected.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
isn't that one of the new fancy bootloaders which can't be downgraded?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Yes it can't be downgraded with stock roms, and maybe there's a good reason fot that, I don't know, just guessing, from what can be readed about the SDS fixes.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Seemed like that was first thought, then someone figured out you could force flash it with the "dd" method and then someone made a cwm zip.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
It can be via one of 3 methods to circumvent the blacklisting Samsung introduced.
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
for thoses really interested, there a whole thread dedicated to sds; it shoud have decent answers to these concerns anaad it is a goog forum for debate.
[Galaxy S III General] diegoviola:
