guys/gals, I'm at a complete and total loss here... and any suggestions are welcome. I had some extra time today and 5/18 is such an awesome build I decided to do a clean install from the ground up.

Here's what I did (while my phone was on the charger):

1) rebooted into TWRP and did a factory reset twice in a row

2) Flashed 5/18

3) Flashed latest stock gapps

4) wiped cache/davlik twice in a row

5) rebooted for the first time into new ROM

6) waited a while, signed into wifi then gmail

7) next > next > next to get into the home screen and noticed it was downloading my apps from the playstore...

So I jump in the shower (15 mins pass) and I come back, wake the phone up all the apps are down installing and I have a text message. I pull down the notification shade down and click on the text message in the notification shade to open it... and *BOOM* phone reboots

It was a really quick reboot, and when it comes back- my phone's background image is back to my old bkgrd img... whereas it wasn't before (it was the stock) one

Any ideas what the hell happened? The above process is what I've been doing with success clean flashing phones from the minute I rooted my old Nexus One and started flashing ROMs... I've seen some people swear that you should let your phone sit for 5mins or so upon first boot (I even did that) however, some say for you to reboot again before you sign in the first time.. I did NOT do this, nor have I ever in the past and it has never been a problem.

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my phone hardware wise, or maybe some file on my external SD card is corrupted... maybe an image or mp3... I do have a lot of songs on my 64GB micro SD card... but this thing runs really solid on LTS1... except for the few minor annoyances where I'm pretty sure are just LTS1 bugs/hangs... I seriously don't know what else to do.. :eek:

I decided to restore back to the backup of my dirty flash of 5/18 over LTS1 which has all my settings and customizations. yes, I got a couple reboots on that but those seemed to stop when I cleared the data of the app I was using when it rebooted... and at least now it is set back up and like I like it.. WTF?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Also, it doesn't matter if I turn fast charge on or off with this widget, I still get device unrecognized on my Win7 PC when I plug it into USB... any ideas on that? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.org.winters.android.gnfastcharge

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FSUSeminole:
No worries man... To be fair I didn't try it after my clean flash... But I'm assuming the result will be the same... Anybody else able to get their storage to mount on 5/18?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
FSU, I do a similar process myself but I swear on cwm. Tried twrp a long time ago and didn't like it. I'm going to push 6.03.1 soon. But that's me.

Does Google restore background images? Bad sync to Google or something?

I also had random reboots using row scheduler. I went to deadline and they stopped for me. Perhaps try it as a test.

I can't say on fast charge/USB but if you've done all the usuals like drivers, different cables, different port then either the fast charge isn't being disabled which Jamison posted he'd look into or something could be wrong.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FSUSeminole:
I did tick backup device settings and restore settings from Google. .. Wonder if I'm pulling down something bad once I sign in.... It's looking like I'm gonna have to learn how to grab a log and put it up.. Haha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
I think you can go on Google dashboard and delete devices. Once you are good to go with a clean setup on your phone then resynch or reflash your rom perhaps. Good luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DHackley:
I'm having a little problem with my phone, ever since flashing AOKP from the Hyperdrive ROM, my files are divided into this.

I really don't know what happened, I followed the flash instructions in both OPs. If anybody has any idea or wisdom in this problem please help. I can't get into my TWRP recovery, it just flashes at the recovery splash screen. Also I cannot reboot the ROM unless I go into download mode and and press the volume key down.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
That's normal with 4.2.x ROM. emulated is your internal sdcard (same as sdcard0 which is symlinked to emulated). sdcard1 is your external sdcard.

As for booting into TWRP, have you tried reflashing TWRP recovery using GooManager (installed from the PlayStore)?

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

I have been using Apr-18 build (which is solid for me and is my fallback build when I have issues with other builds). I started from a clean slate today (nuked everything: factory reset, cache/dalvik cache, /system) and flashed May 18 build. This build is phreakin awesome! Most everything is working, and most importantly for me, GPS is working again since Apr18 build!! I got instant gps lock even indoor! Whoohoo!!

A couple issues that I experienced though. I can't turn off Developer Option or USB Debug. Everytime I tried to turn either option off, the phone froze and rebooted. Seems like changing anything with USB settings would cause the phone to reboot. Win 7 doesn't recognize the phone plugged in via USB.

Edit1: I tinker with setting USB Debug on/off and Wireless ADB on/off with Tasker/Secure Settings. The phone reboots as well.

Edit2: I'm using AirDroid now to transfer files between my laptop and the phone, if anyone is interested on an alternate route.

Quick question, I see Fast Charge enable/disable option in the old Performance Control apk (yes, I kept a back up of it :) ). Is that the same as the Fast Charge widget from the PlayStore? I mean both enable/disable Fast Charge?

Edit3 (Resolved): Jamison, I think it might be the issue with the Kinetic kernel. I flashed ktoon's kernel and it seems to work again. I can enable/disable USB Debugging and my laptop installed a device driver as soon as I plugged it in, then it recognized my phone.

Do the ribbons take some time to get used to? Seems like it takes the perfect swipe to get it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
Adjust the thickness of the swipe area and the length to suit your needs. After that it's easier to swipe out the ribbon. I use the left swipe one and had to adjust it to make it easier for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
That's the kernel I flashed. Just clear cache/dalvik cache and flash the kernel.

Now I flashed with ktoon's kernel kt747 but yet to see the performance of this
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
What performance difference are you expecting?

I use interactive and deadline. Since the deep sleep works great I bump the minimum freq to 810 MHz and Max is 1.5ghz.

I can push 4 hours of on-screen time before battery gets into the 30% mark.

Also I turned off developer options for transitions and personally feel the performance is a lot better.

I want to check if I am getting some crashes of applications or battery draining etc

but as on now everything is working very smoothly and no issues due to change of kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
Same here. Other than the built-in kernel issue, everything is working smooth and solid. No random reboots. gps, bluetooth all work. I'm diggin ribbons! I'm using the left and right swipe ribbons for my frequently used apps/shortcuts. Blacklist for phone is awesome! I'd say this build is a candidate for LTS3 (after kernel issue is fixed of course).

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomTcom:
I'm left handed so I like the left swipe, I tell you though to give bottom swipe up a try. Less distance travel when making a swipe movement.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
I already have the bottom space for the nav bar and nav ring. That makes it hard to use bottom ribbon. I will try to disable the nav bar and Nova launcher dock for ribbon though.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] AOKP MR1 Kang Project

The audio works pretty good. The problem that I have is that if I turn bluetooth off, I can't turn it back on without a reboot. And I also have the superuser permissions notification of apps granted permissions frequently (notifications off and permissions set to grant). Other than that, pretty solid build.

Hey Jamison!

I was wondering if you might consider adding PDroid core framework to your ROM? I don't ask for myself, but for other people who want to be able to control what an app has access to on their phone, without it causing their phone to crash. I patch it myself, but I think it would really set your ROMs apart from all the others for the Galaxy S 3 if you did consider adding it in.

Link to PDroid for those interested in what PDroid can do for your privacy on your phone.
