I think this is by far the best CM ROM I have flashed so far and battery life is great!

However, as with all CM roms I am experiencing freezes, i.e. the phone becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot by long pressing the power button. This happens 2 - 3 times a day.

I hope it is the ROM and not my phone but I could not find anything in this respect when searching the thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Marne Jr:
You can go to gTalk app by using App manager from system > choose Gtalk > Choose maybe "Deactivate" or "Inactivate" I don't know how it is in english...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
now flashing this rom... interesting.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
If I where you I would check if you have damaged Emmc. Search play store for emmc checker or something like that.

I haven't had a single crash or anything. Its working soooo good <3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrSpaceman:
Giving this a go based on the good reports so far
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cioraneanu:
I usually never post on a ROM thread but I could not help it. This ROM is just brilliant! No problems, smoothest experience (yes, I've tried allmost all the ROMs here), and really good battery life. Aweseme awesome work Sentinel!:good:

I downloaded and installed SentinelROM v4.30 this afternoon and so far it seems very smooth and quick.

Thank-you for a great rom! I am looking forward to test driving it this week. BTW, I am running it using the SiyahKernel s3-v1.9.1.

Hi @ all !!

Nice one! Thanks for sharing. I'll add to my faq

With previous 4,1,1 rom I had 38 h stnd by plus 7 h of screen on .... But there was too much lag and slowness, so I am much happyer with 4,2,2...

Tips for having a huge battery optimization:

1) App called LUX ... I personilize my screen to be 30% less brighter than stock and less brighter for every reading of the sensor

2) You can use tasker for disable wifi and data when screen is off and enable it when screen is on..... Or use an app called "better wifi on/off plus that app of a battery that comes with samsung stock (attached to this post) that disable data sometimes when screen is off

3) Disable fast dormancy (depends on your carrier)

4) Disable local acess

5) Disable Gtalk

6) Undervolt of 50 to 100 mcvolt is usually real safe ....

7) Black wallpaper everywhere

8) Non animated wallpaper

9) At most 2 homescreens with widgets

10) GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and etc allways off when not in use ...

11) Underclock of Processor at 1200 to 200 Mhz (On 4,2,2 android you might can't notice the difference)

That's it !!!

Enjoy....

Hi guys! Any idea how to block ads on browser? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's plenty of ad blockers available in the play store. Make sure you enable app Root access under developer options in the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Thanks mate...

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

Apps root access enabled.when trying to search for ad blockers on play store,it doesnt show anything.i wonder why? Different apps shows up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Try this... http://adfree-android.en.softonic.com/android
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
Sorry i cant see the download link..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry. I can't offer any support for 3rd party apps. Contact the app developer if you're having problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giro8888:
No worries man.anyway thanks for the help! Hope adfree will be included in your future updates! More power
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
No problem. I wont be including any ad blockers in my ROM though. Personally, I don't agree with blocking developers from making revenue from their work. Of course you're always welcome to install whatever you like though. :)

Enjoy the ROM :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djclark25:
Been trying siyah kernel yesterday with some battery friendly tweaks and personally think your own kernel was providing better battery life. Is there any way to just flash your kernel back without installing the whole ROM again?

Be handy if you could put your kernel on here as a cwm flashabale package.

Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Safest is to reflash the ROM and just wipe your caches. No need to wipe anything else.

I don't want to package my kernel separately because I don't want to open up a can of worms in terms of trying to help people who have messed up their libraries etc. More time spent on tech support is less time spent developing the ROM.

Thanks for understanding.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djclark25:
No problem. Will reflash the ROM. Thanks for the quick reply. Keep up the good work!

How can i make the Volume of ringtones louder?

DSP and Volume is set To max but no success...

Other Roms are louder, what to do?

I checked EMMC: I have an insane chip but passed the memory test - I would therefore assume it is not hardware related? It seems that I have to live with random freezes for the time being...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
EMMC is a tempremental beast.

A memory check won't always tell the full story as many chips will onyl fail under certain conditions, such as voltage droop - heavy read - write, temperature to name a few.

The best test would probably be to flash back to completely stock Samsung firmware and see if you're still having stability issues, and go from there.

Good luck mate!

How do you get the 5 day forecast to display like in the first screenshot?

I have the weather current weather details displayed but cant see how to get the 5 day forecast to display?!?!?!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Download "Eye In Sky" from the play store.

I used to include the free version in my ROM back in the early days with the author's permission, but it made it ahrd to upgrade to the full version so I decided to take it back out.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
Downloading and flashing.

I hope that the battery life is good as described.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
Do you format /system when flashing ROMs?

Have you formatted both internal and external memory?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MetalG:
Just read the openingspost please... its all there

TL;DR you don't need to format, atleast I didnt =)

Few days on this ROM now, very smooth, no hangs, no answers on my questions but I still like it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
Uhm... Rethink your post please.

Maybe its not necessary but he is having stability issues and that might be just because of it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. Which questions did I miss. I have over 100 messages a day to try and keep on top of, as well as a full time job! Lol. I'm doing my best.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MetalG:
Yea I think I read to fast over your post.. I thought you were asking if you needed to format your SD cards.. sorry :o

Well the only questions I have are:

- Can you adjust the # of icons per row (default is 4) when you open the app list? (like in Nova)?

- Is there a way to replace stock icons from the file manager? or do I need to use icon themer or such?

- this is the most important for me, I like me phone clean, just one homescreen and done, I really like the cLock, but in order to use the calendar option, you have to maximize the widget size to the whole screen. Therefore there I no space left to place icons.

See screenshot

If it is too difficult, no need to put much effort in it, I really like the ROM, it would just make the rom even more perfect for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
Hello guys! Rom looks awesome! making a nandroid backup of my current rom to restore! on 4.1.2 sammy based rom! have never been to 4.2 before! Have been on Paranoid android rom long back, so if in case i wanna go back to my nandroid bakup i wont have problems right going frm 4.2.2 to my sammy 4.1.2?

Rom looks awesome! Flashing it right now :) :good::laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
LMAO nice screenshot!

Question 1:

No there isn't. Only for the Homescreen.

Question 2:

You need to use a themer or icon changer app (there was one posted on the front page of XDA a few days ago).

Question 3:

That's the way it works in Android 4.2.2. Try "Settings" - "Launcher" - "Homescreen" - "Stretch Screens", also try adjusting the grid size in the same place and see if that works for you.

To be honest, I think Nova Launcher is the answer to all your problems. I sometimes use it on my Nexus 10 and it doesn't introduce any lag at all, so that's my recommendation.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MetalG:
Question 3: Thanks ! Got it! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mafioso:
Since I can't find the teamhacksung wiki of known issues on i9300 for cm10.1, I want to know are the CM10.1 camera issues (it used to hang when flashing after touch to focus) and low Bluetooth range fixed now?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Correct me if I'm wrong, I might be but with question one, Ive changed the amount of icons in nova launcher and with question 2 I've downloaded an icon pack and apply it within nova launcher aswell.. is this what he is talking about

?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
So I think I've found 2 bugs.

1. When taking screenshots the preview in drawer is gray, but pressing it opens gallery and its fine.

2. I can't seem to get it to lock on HSDPA only. Seems like the setting doesn't stick.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
1. can anyone else confirm?

2. That may depend on your carrier. I think the SIM overrides the setting. I've experienced this same thing in pretty much every ROM I've ever used on any device though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Correct. Hence my suggestion to use Nova
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Aaah My apologies I though he was already using nova and was asking if you could :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK I'm signing out for the night to work in version 4.40. Catch you all in the morning!

I will try to format memory, already backed up data with Titanium Backup. Easier would be to make a nandroid backup and then reinstall after formatting?

Funny, didn't have a freeze today so far. It seems the phone realises something is going on. ;)

If you're having problems, best to start completely from scratch and see how you go for a few days, then restore your data and see if the problem comes back.

Hey mate, regarding your question about changing icons. I think you missed my reply. :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
As stated earlier i really think that the issue for you might be that you haven't formated the /system partition before flashing your ROM.

Usually u can do it on cwm -> mounts & storage or in the wipe section if you use TWRP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sequester:
Thanks, will try tonight and post results!

Edit :

My question was referring to the backup : does it make sense to make a recovery or does this affect the formatting negatively?

I Took a screenshot of my notification drawer after taking a screenshot... Seems to display the picture ok for me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
Good. Might be because of 240dpi then I guess ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
Hopefully I have helped you narrow down the cause at least! I guess unless anyone else confirms it's happening for them it's probably not a "bug" in the Rom :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Im on 240dpi too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
Well I guess it's not purely dpi related then.

is there a way to increase max speaker volume like in sammy rom? it seems pretty low in aosp roms:(

alsamixer is not working properly with aosp..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm working on it for the next build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] invisiblebm:
And the music sound on maximum is distorted . It's fixed on Temasek ROMs, if I'm not wrong.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Do you mean through the device speaker or headphones?

Try adjusting your equalizer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reb0rn:
Yeah. Apparently it was theme related and i forgot to reboot :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] erto90:
Here is not.. Is soo low through the speaker,more volume will be perfect,otherwise is pretty hard to hear the ringtone.. Would be great to have an implementation like boeffla sound,that got all necessary for a perfect and loud sound

[Galaxy S III Android Development] TaoNinja:
You can still have that,

Down load the Kernel from here,

http://d-h.st/users/temasek

Temasek makes a kernel that is compatible with these roms, and well you can get your sound fix there :P Make volume much higher and lower through Stweaks

how do you change the carrier label on this ROM?

He said he didn't want to make a separate zip as it would revenue even more clutter when the focus is the ROM.

But if u want to extract it yourself from the ROM its just to take boot.IMG and flash it with mobile Odin pro.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] invisiblebm:
Through phone speaker. Without equaliser.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yasser86:

the main problem is when i leave the app by home button , and return to the same app it reloads , so i cannot use 2 app at same time thats s3 problem 1gb version
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sspoko:
Jesus, this ROM is like kicking-ass, it's best ROM if your priority is battery since I have my S3 (it'll be about 6 months), really. But this is not all, the perfmormenace is also nice, maybe not like Liquid Smooth, but I'm sure that this ROM will be best in future not only the battery(already is best) but also performance.

One question.

Can someone tell me how the hell can I go to android 4.1.2 folder? I can't get there using ASTRO, Ghost Commander etc, and also can't get there via PC :(.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Well, tried this ROM for a few days and now I can say its the best I've tried :D... Superb fast and stable... Not a single FC yet and great battery... I'm a kind of hard user and to get 6h+ at 50% its something to appreciate! I'd like to know if I could increase that but guess that will mess some apps I use cause' most of them are to chat or social networks which I use 4 college...

I must say THANKS! Great work and great ROM! Will be waiting for 4.40 :D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
If you had official 4.1.2 you can say bye to your data... And if it was a custom ROM they will not be there easily... Still can't find them :p

as for people who say the speaker sounds low when playing music, I think for me the quality is fine just like one the Sammy roms. I haven't used DSP yet and I guess it'll sound better if I use DSP
