[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
I second this, been running it for a day so far and working great. Only had System UI Crash once, and that was after a random reboot. After an actual reboot it worked fine again (without disabling halo, which is working great, however even after reading my text it still has the notification in the bubble).

Also Halo ))) on the app store seems to work well with the Halo build on G+
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
By tonight's nightly do you mean 6/04?

NEVERMIND It works!

But is the latest nightly based on the latest CM source?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wujiku:
no
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jsyl:
Same here, I stopped using halo simply because when I received a text the notification wouldn't leave
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
I haven't had this problem:( I wonder why you do:(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Not really sure, re-flash didn't change anything. It's not a terrible deal, I decided to use Halo ))) and I pinned the messaging app along with facebook, so after I get a text and reply I just move the notification to messaging and it fixes it (sort of, at least I don't have to see the notification count this way).

I know I'll get flamed but how do I use or activate halo? I'm using the 6 4 nightly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
Halo is not part of the nightlies as of yet. Only the experimental builds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bleedingthru:
O snap lol thanks for the answer

i keep getting an error when trying to install the 6/4 zip. anyone else have issues with this file? - tried downloading via goo on my phone and on pc via web.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
What is the error?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Found this over the the Team Carbon google+ page...

App called Rounded Corners. Does the job, rounds out the corners of your screen...

Cool I guess. Maybe cause its just different. Figured I'd drop this here for those that don't know about it. Free in the Play Store.

goo.im is killing me again, been trying to download 6/5 Nightly for a cpl hours. :-\

Awesome work Team, haven't ran Carbon much recently but looking forward to checking out Halo.

:good:

EDIT: Anyone have a 6/5 nightly downloaded they could PM me?

EDIT Again: Just got some good info from the Team over at google+. Downloading a build thru there Dropbox. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DLM2583:
So goo manager is telling me there's an update but when I click on it to download it doesn't do anything, is this an official update out or a nightly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Think it's a Nightly but goo is down at the moment.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DLM2583:
Oh OK thanks for the fast reply

Honestly dont know. something about an error with the .zip and the android guy looks like he got shot lol.

anyway, i just installed the release with halo from g+......mostly working well but when i use the halo, i get alot of system ui crashes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
Will there be a new halo build with the latest beta? The paranoid android build isn't cutting it for me...not enough custimization
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trecko1234:
Paranoid Android posted on G+ that they'd be releasing the source for Halo most likely this weekend, so expect an official build soon
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
Halo is still in Alpha stage, and even if the code is released this weekend by PA I wouldn't expect it to be in the nightly builds. The nightlys are still fairly stable, and putting an Alpha product in there would kind of muck that up. Also, all the code has to be done by hand, at least right now, so nightly for all the devices would be too much. It'd be more realistic to expect probably an update in a few weeks, and once it becomes stable and automated code, then it might enter the nightlys and stable releases.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
Its actually in beta now. Soo...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
I don't follow PA and was just quoting what they have been saying on g+ to help the people who don't follow along on there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
Halo Beta version of Carbon released today on G+ page.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
Halo for our device has been out over a week now I believe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Yep. Running smooth and issue free here. I've gotten about 30 notifications so far and notta one System UI FC with Halo. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtl171:
Anyone else getting assert failed: getprop(ro.bootloader) errors while flashing Halo Beta? I've tried updating TWRP and the bootloader but nothing is working so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Flashed fine here with CWM Touch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiji.james:
Can you please share the link for the latest halo build
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PipelinerArd:
Have you updated your bootloader via odin? I had to do it a few days ago. Was getting the same error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Not without an OK from the Team. There easily accessible thru g+.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VirusZer0:
Hey bro, which version of the Halo build you on, 5/30 or the 6/7 one from today? Also which Gapps? The reason I ask, I get the damn System UI FC EVERY notification. Also, what was your flash procedure?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
Dirty flashed from 6/6 nightly. Flash the 6/7 version. The gapps are ported when you dirty flash, or use 20130301 ones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VirusZer0:
Ah okay, do you have the System UI FC's or no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
Nope! Perfection
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VirusZer0:
Okay awesome, I'll clean wipe and flash the 6/6 nightly with the latest gapps, and then follow it with a dirty flash of the 6/7 Halo build, is that what you did?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
Haven't clean flashed in a few weeks, but it should be the same. I also flash the BMS kernel. If you post on the G+ people respond more :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VirusZer0:
Okay I'll try it and if it still FC's then I'll try BMS, I usually use IX
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtl171:
Tried following the instruction and flashing the files from this pos using mobile odin: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41503727&postcount=13716

Not sure if it helped as it didn't update my build.prop

Edit: Fixed it by flashing using desktop odin. No more systemui FC's however still have no external storage error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Hey man. I dirty flashed from the 6/7 nightly to todays Beta Halo build. I just wiped Cache/Dalvik. I also am using the BMS kernel but that won't make a difference with Halo.

Also using CWM Touch.

My Gapps are Justins Inverted Gapps from yesterday.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ninjames:
So I thought maybe I'd found a rom that worked smoothly for my fiancee after fixing the data issues but after using it for a little over a week, she's reporting really horrifyingly bad battery life. She's getting a little over four hours before full discharge, and the battery stats say the screen is doing like 70% of this even when she's not using her phone. Any advice? I'm on the latest release, not nightly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jsyl:
I concur, the battery life on carbon 1.7 was absolutely terrible for me, but when I switched to a recent nightly or the experimental halo build the battery was fine
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
The only valid I have had battery life issues with is the halo builds..and that's just a halo problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
I've noticed pretty bad battery life today on the halo beta compared to the official tmo aospa 3.56 with halo.. Hope it improves after a few cycles
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seko666:
I haven't experienced any bad battery life with the Carbon ROM. I'm using Lean Kernel as well.

Carbon v1.7 & lk v6.2.3 that's Blacked Out!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longstreet:
Just came here from Hyperdrive, & I have to say this rom is gorgeous. 1.7 us slick, very pretty AND functional, and stable as well. Major kudos to the guys who designed the wallpapers; looks like professional work. I keep switching between them because I can't decide which one I like the most.

The only problem I'm having is the same as ninjames.

HUGE screen power consumption, even when I'm not using the phone. Haven't had a chance to research the issue, but apparently some are having better luck with the HALO builds. Didn't really need another excuse to try HALO...

Is the latest experimental stable for most folks?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sephk:
I am using 1.7 since it came out. Haven't had any major issues with Battery life. It is on par with CM10.1. It truly depends on your usage, and the apps running in the background. Try to greenify everything other than the most essential apps. It could help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
Yes latest halo build is really nice:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ninjames:
What are the halo builds everyone is talking about? The battery issue is getting worse :[
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longstreet:
They're experimental builds of Carbon that have the HALO feature from PA built in. HALO is a notification popup that looks similar to Chatheads in FB Home, but more customizable. From the descriptions I've read almost any app can be set up to be accessed from HALO, but instead of full screen it opens as a smaller window floating on top of whatever you are doing at the moment. From what I've read it sounds like Multiwindow meets Popup browser.

At least, that my impression. I'll be finding out firsthand later this evening.

The battery issue is disappointing, but HALO or not, I'm sticking with Carbon for a while, hoping that I'll be able to figure out what is going on. This rom is too sweet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ninjames:
OK so provided I'm not interested in that, what should I do to attempt to improve battery life? Is there a specific kernel I should go after and if so, can you direct me to it? Do I just flash it? Do I wipe anything? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longstreet:
Don't know. I've only been using this rom for a couple of days. If I figure something out I'll post it. Maybe some other folks can chime in as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tobstradamus:
What's the screen on time? Typical for me is 3 hours screen time, however long that takes. If your battery is dying fast, something's keeping it up, so Greenify apps. I also use DS Battery Saver to turn off data while the screen is off.

I also use the BMS Kernel default settings. When I was tweaking it I could get up to 4 hours screen time (stock battery).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ninjames:
Well it can't be actually from the screen, that's the thing. It's in her pocket at work and its just dying super fast. Like, to the point where there's gotta be an issue somewhere. Is there a kernal specifically made for good battery life and if so where do I find it/will it work on this rom? I know I'm asking a lot of questions I just don't want to screw up her phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Alright man, here's the thing. Battery life is extremely subjective. There are so many user related variables.

There isn't one kernel that has better battery life then others. It's really dependent on what settings you use with the kernel. To go for the best battery life you have to look into what Governor your running. What Scheduler your running. Do you Undervolt. What is your minimum and maximum frequency setting.

Now, I'm guessing your fiance has stock settings. If it's dying super fast without use you should look into what Apps are running in the backround. The Greenify App is really useful for helping with this.

Let's say while on her lunch at work she uses a bunch of different apps, when she is done with the phone, she should hold down the home button, then use the kill all apps option. I always kill all my apps when I know

I won't be on the phone for a little while.

There are battery/Tasker apps. Where you can set it to where when your not on your phone, you can shut off data which helps a little with idle battery drain.

Does she use a lot of widgets? Are there a lot of apps/widgets set to auto update?

These are just a few things to look into. When it comes to battery with these smartphones, like I said before, there are a lot of things involved.

Hopefully this helps ya out a little bit....

EDIT: One more thing. Never worry about asking a lot of questions. There are a lot of awesome guys around that'll help out. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ninjames:
I'll take a look tomorrow and see what we can do about running apps but she had fantastic battery life before this rom and hasn't added any new apps..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hoffdamann:

Data loss

I've been having a problem that i've been troubleshooting for a while and couldn't figure it out. I'm on 1.7 rom.

Does anyone know why I get data loss when I go to another city? For example, L.A --> San Diego --> L.A.

Both places have 4GLTE. When I get to the other city, I lose data. I have to clean flash the rom then it registers and I get 4G. Then when I return to the other city where I was at, I lose data there, then I have to clean flash again to get data/4g going. Losing 4G isn't the issue, I'm just straight losing data all together on my GS3.

I read around for fixes but I just don't know what's wrong and how to fix it.

I also have a GS4, and it never loses data or anything while I carry it and compare. (well, of course its on the original rom so it works)

Please help.
