Not sure what you mean by BETA Stages?? There is a stable version 1.7 and then there are nighties, the latest which have PA's Halo mod included.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I would for sure give a clean install a go. I have been running the latest build all day using LK test 6.3.4 kernel and I have not had any reboots at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gzsmooth:
I would agree, Ive been running latest nightly w clean install and stock kernel w/o any reboots. Been very stable for me as far as beta stages go...

I'm having games lock up after a few minutes of play. I've tried a clean flash of 6-11 and 6-13. I've also tried stock, LK, and BMS kernel and I'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
All has been very stable for me on nightly's. Halo is also very cool.

I'm still having instability problems whenever I run KT kernel 747 or lean kernel however the phone seems stable on the stock kernel. These problems involve random freezes for 10 seconds to 15 seconds almost like you would expect if you had flashed the wrong kernel version.

Hey guys, how would you say the battery life is on the nightlies? Thanks in advance for your replies!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
No explanation for your freezes I'm afraid buddy...sorry bout that. But as far as the hung up Bluetooth turning off, go to manage apps> all> Bluetooth share and force stop it. If that doesn't work clear data on it and you're good to go. I've only had to do this once or twice ever, but it happens. No troubles to report on 6/12 nightly using lk v6.3!

OK guys & gals... I've been keeping my eye on this ROM for a while and came over from SB.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

Pull down the notification drawer and you'll see a blue icon on top, press that and youll activate halo. Halo just displays any notifications that you get and let's you interact with them in a little popup window. Multitasking at its best

Man, I feel like such a noob. I pull down my notifications drawer & I have toggles to the left and a large date / time to the right. I saw somewhere I had to have it in "Phablet Mode" & I did that but I'm still not seeing what you're talking about.

Ugh!

i never really thought about this, but every how and then, i have my data stuck on( i use a toggle on it). was stuck for maybe 20 minutes. no apps were running. and the phone wouldnt shut down to reboot. everything else worked fine though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
I'm still having trouble trying to activate Halo. I pull down the notification shade and there is no blue icon to tap - I have the toggles on the right and on the left there is the date & time. I've looked through all the settings to see if there's something I missed & I'm not seeing that there is. I read somewhere that Phablet Mode has to be activated and did that but that appears to be a bust. I'm running 1.7 with the 0301 gapps package. I don't believe I downloaded any extras except for DPS Mgr. Carbon is turned on. I have the stock kernel (included with the ROM?) and I'm not running any tweaks that I know of. No under / over volting / frequency. Can someone give me a hand on this? I switched to Carbon from SB & the two seem remarkably alike with minor variations to the toggles and some system settings. As I was a huge fan of SB, I'm assuming that I'll be of Carbon as well, once I get it dialed in the way I want / need

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
The 1.7 build does not have halo in it. You need to download a current nightly. I have run June 11th and June 14th without much of a problem.

Now that I have used Halo for a few days I'm finding I actually like it. I also and finding that the stock kernel give me the best life. It is actually doing better than Kt 747 and lean kernel . I just wish it had the ability to overclock not that it really needs it though. And I finally made a donation!

Thanks to everyone for your help! Finally got the 06/13 nightly downloaded and installed, dialed in (mostly) just the way I want. I'm still learning all the ins & outs but I'm getting there. Seems pretty cool.

Is there a way to set it up so that I get just a Halo notification and not one in the status bar as well? I'm thinking specifically in re messaging - with Halo, it's right there for me to deal with. The additional notification in the status bar is just redundant. But that also goes for Titanium Backup, my weather app that reports to the status bar, etc... Just use white / black listing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
Yes use the whitelist

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
Using the white list option won't stop the notification from appearing in the status bar though. That function is a part of the OS. What using white list does is allow you to decide what notifications you want HALO to show I.E. you could white list, SMS, Facebook, calendar, and gmail and then HALO will only show you those notifications but all others as well as the white listed ones will still appear in the notification bar.

If I'm wrong on this please correct me because that's how I've seen it work thus far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
If you turn it on then only apps on the white list will show. Apps are white listed on a per app basis in app management.

Oh I just figured out that if you double tap the bubble and drag it to remove, it hides out in your notifications until you click on it. Then halo starts on the screen again.

Go to the individual apps in your app manager. When you're in the list, open the apps you want to white or black list and at the top (next to the uninstall button but to the left of it) it will say white list (or black) for Halo.

Sorta hidden but once you know, it's easy to find...

Android 4.2.2 and CarbonRom

Does CarbonRom (or the kernel it uses) handle the new sdcard file structure correctly? If I understand it, with the introduction of profiles, the sdcard location for the phone's main (or only) profile is actually /sdcard/0. The 2nd profile would use /sdcard/1, etc. I might have that wrong. But I definitely have duplicate files in folder /sdcard and /sdcard/0

If you're unfamiliar with this, please check this Nexus topic at the link below.

http://androidforums.com/verizon-ga...-latest-jelly-bean-roms-edited-5-11-13-a.html

Since switching from GS3 stock ROM to CarbonRom nightly 06/04 I have starting getting the "storage full" message. I may have acted too quickly and moved everything that was on /sdcard/0 but missing from /sdcard back over to /sdcard. then I cleared the /sdcard/0 folder. I did this mainly because it seems most apps and browser downloads were updating the /sdcard folder, not /sdcard/0.

But I noticed the Nexus post above suggested everything should actually be in /sdcard/0. Now I'm confused as to what I should do. The Nexus post indicates the duplicate files in /sdcard and /sdcard/0 are due to ClockWorkMod and TWRP versions that were not 4.2 compatable (CWM 6.0.1.x or TWRP 2.3.x.x) and that you need to be on either CWM 6.0.2.3 or TWRP 2.4.x.x or higher before installing a 4.2 ROM.

Two answers I'd like to see.

1. What's the proper way to fix the storage now (including any faulty symlinks).

2. Does CarbonRom work with the new structure properly, or is there a certain kernel I need installed along with CarbonRom?

Thanks,

Ronnie

Update 6/17/13 - I now think my problem was the 'profile' option in the System Settings menu got turned on accidentally. I'm assuming when that happened the system copied all data from /sdcard to /sdcard/0. I'm not sure this is what happened, because it seems if it was, the system would have moved the contents of the root of /sdcard to /sdcard/0, leaving the root of /sdcard empty. But I had duplicate folders and files in both folders.

But the major sign something was wrong (other than starting to see the 'Storage full' message), was when I turned my phone off last night and then back on this morning. My Nova Launcher was gone, and the only apps that showed up in the app drawer where the basic apps that was packaged with CarbonRom. I went into the play store to download Root Explorer so I could look at the /sdcard file structure and it showed I already had it installed (even though it didn't show in my app drawer) and the play store didn't give me an option to open it. That's when I went into the phone's settings an noticed Profiles was set to On. I set it back to off, and rebooted. My Nova Launcher and all my apps are back now.

Do only the "nightlies" have HALO in it? Or does the "release" have it, too?

What music player is everyone using? I've used power amp on every ROM I've used, but can't get it to work on carbon. It will play at first, then I get "too many errors reading files" and it shuts off.

Any help / advice would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Haven't tried it out yet, but I use WinAmp on every other ROM I've ever used without issue. But I'm using a bunch of Blacked Out apps these days and Team BlackOut has Apollo which has performed flawlessly for me on Carbon. You can get it here:

It's a .zip and is flashed in recovery. Worth more than you pay for it (it's free!)!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
thanks, i'll give it a try; had tried google play music, but once i start it, it just basically runs in the background and kills my battery.

:confused:

Tried Appollo; basic problem i have with it and a lot of them, is i have a few files that are not music, but since they are MP3 files, they are read and, well... hate listening to dial tones and system sounds when i'm listening to music. Apollo, along with a few others don't seem to differentiate.

Still can't figure out why Power Amp doesn't read the files in Carbon, it does in CM10.1 and all the others i have on my phone.

thanks for the advice, still looking and if anyone else has any ideas on how to make it work, really do like to use my phone for music on the long commute

is there a way i'm missing to only play music files, and leave my notifications, taped phone calls and downloaded MP3 files out of the play list?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Where are those mp3s? In with your music? If not, then change the name of the folder from, for instance "Ringtones" to ".Ringtones" - media scan will not pick them up and they won't be played in your media player as far as I know. You'll still be able to use them in whatever app you want by directing the app to them.

Just a suggestion but it might help

thanks, gonna have to do some more digging.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
Aaahhh...

Any chance you can use a root explorer and change where they are? Otherwise, I'm @ a loss to help. Not sure why your other media player didn't play them & the others do. With the other media player, did you side load or down load? I hear that you have to deactivate Halo to side load, though I do not know that to be a fact. Fix permission, clear cache and all that stuff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Searched and couldn't find this one:

does HALO conflict with chat heads? Both are interesting programs, but when i set up chat heads (well, downloaded latest version of FB messenger) i got the chat heads notification, but not in HALO, even tho it was whitelisted. Chatheads is interesting, but don't need both, and like how HALO works better.

TIA

:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
I'm not using Chatheads but I am finding there are some minor bugs in the Halo implementation right now. For instance, apps that are not whitelisted are still showing up as notifications in my Halo. Same thing also happened with blacklisting...

I'm thinking PA, the original developer for Halo, has some additional tweaking to do. Likely that's what you're running in to. Don't know that for certain, as I don't know an object from a line of code but just seems a little buggy right now. Certainly very useful & happy I made the switch from SB to give it a try but it's still a bit beta right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
testing something regarding my music problems, however, when i was looking through HALO settings, even tho you only whitelist certain apps, there are other "notificaions" that are checked on in HALO that may be what was causing this as well. didn't uncheck it, cuz i didn't want to screw things up, but that may be what is causing the problem.
