Hey, just wondering, is it a normal Android thing that pish notifications don't appear directly? For example, I get a Facebook message, it takes a while until a notification pops. Even when I receive an email, i notice my notifications appear a few minutes after I actually got it. Is this normal? I've never ran a normal ROM on my S3, second I got it, flashed this awesome ROM from sentinel. :D So I don't know if its normal for android or not. Any ideas guys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
I've been reading threads of all ROMs built from AOSP/CM source, and think this ROM is just right for me. And I see from previous posts that battery consumption is amazing. Thank You Sentinel. I've been looking forward to try it as soon as I catch a little free time that I have.

Just have one question:

Apart from mentioned "stretching" bug (which doesn't bother me) is there any other issue with the camera?

Because camera (I use it alot) is the only thing that keeps me on (RAM eating) Samsung-based ROM.

I'm not using any effects, just interested in general photo quality.

Thank you all in advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
In low light photos Samsung camera is way better (as far as quality is concerned). In lightful ambient environments the quality is excactly the same!

I believe that this has nothing to do with the ROM (wether is Samsung-based or not). It has to do with the camera app. Unfortunately Samsung's stock camera app can't be ported to AOSP Roms because it needs Touchwiz framework to work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
Oh, S(h)ammy. :)

Thanks. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
I agree. For day light i use a great software, that i like very much: Camera FV 5.

Nice options and photos.

I want to thanks the Sentinel Master, of this ROM: Clean, fast and batery friend:p

00:00 went to bed, with +-97% batery, and in the morning it did says 96%:cowboy:

Keep the good work!:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skar_16:
Back for a feedback, I installed it the other night and tested it the whole day yesterday till today and it's just really looks cool and amazing to a regular user like me, pretty fast too, battery life superb! think I'll stick on this ROM for a while..

Many thanks Sentinel196

Hi, I also have a little issue with my battery life; I've been using this ROM for a week now and it's the best one I've tried so far, very snappy and smooth. But that battery thing is kinda bothering me. I'll try as I've read some pages before: a fresh install with full wipes. Hope that helps.

Btw, here's a screen cap. In case it's useful.

How many hours do you got in a day? I don't have any issue with my battery, it can run 14-16 hrs a day with my Corporate, Gmail and Yahoo instantly push. Also, my wifi always turn on all the time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yoguslayer:
It usually lasts for 8 hours, 10 at maximum. Even overnight, it tends to waste like 12% battery, and that's if I'm not listening to any music. I really think there's an issue here. :/

EDIT: with WiFi turned on all the time and with push services like Twitter, Whatsapp, Gmail, Facebook and 3 other IM/VoIP clients. What makes me curious is the Battery Status, 'cause it says "Android OS" as the main battery hogger.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Are you using my kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lirkaren:
Hope this rom works better then AOKP for me (I think I need to whipe my phone...), it looks like it is a nice rom, hopefully I don't need to go back to a rom based on Samsungs crap. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AvivEliyahu:
Great rom,battery life seems good so far but ill let the battery have 1-2 cycles. One question-your kernel is installed with the rom automatically or i need to flash it after flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
Is installed automatically!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lirkaren:
Don't know if my internal SD is starting to give up sense my phone just locks upp often now an I have to hold the powerbutton in to reboot. This rom got more freezes than AOKP for me :(. Guess I have to try a Crapsung based rom.... :(

When "Emoji support" is enabled in mms.apk I can send those emoji and see them properly, but I cannot see them when I receive message. Getting something like "+ge058" form of coding. The person who send me those emoji doesn't have CM or CM based ROM, just a GO SMS app.

Is this a bug?

So far, the baterry is improving with the cicles and the ROM is very smooth and fast. Tks for your work

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yoguslayer:
Yes, I haven't changed the kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
No problems here. It only depends on signal strenght.

Don`t forget in Definitions, put 2G+3G option.:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
I have the same problem too and I've mentioned it a few posts back. Try to disable and enable mobile data. Sometimes works for me. I really don't know what's the cause of it. It maybe has nothing to do with Sentinel Rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you configure your APN settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jamin_1:
Faced the same problem and signing out of Google hangouts solved it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yoguslayer:
Seriously? I'll try doing that, then. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
In fact should you sign out of most of the Google services?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
Does anyone bother using a battery management app with this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kibry:
external sdcard problem

Thanks for a great rom, just wondering if the external sd-card should be/is supported?

I'm having trouble getting it to work. In recovery mode I can find the extsdcard, but when I boot the rom the sdcard wont show up.

If I try mounting it the device will ask to Format SD card (All data on your card (under path '/storage/sdcard1') will be erased. This action can't be reversed!) -> Format -> aaaand nothing will happen just asks me to format again.

Seems to be a rom problem and not a device problem since I still can find all the data if I check it from recovery mode.

Any known workarounds or is it just the fact that the external sd-card is not supported (yet?). :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
you need to read the faq linked in my signature.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kibry:
aaand now i feel like a dumbass, thanks anyway :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hopefully you didn't delete all your stuff when you formatted your SD card on the PC.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
Yes, My apn settings are automatically installed each time I install a Rom. 3G network works good for me but sometimes it has trouble connecting, especially when switching from Wifi to mobile data. I don't consider it important and as I said maybe it's not a Sentinel problem at all. Anyway, it's not worth for me to bother more about it, as long as I enjoy your great Rom! Thank you once again!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you run it through a few charge cycles?

Did you follow my FAQ?

Did you try and restore anything from a previous ROM?

You need to give more information if you need help. Simply making a statement like that doesn't help anyone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] medoo88:
can any one provide Sentinel Music Player Apk please ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Since you asked so nicely...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] medoo88:
thanx ... but why it's not in the 4.70 ????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I did a poll on facebook and hardly anyone uses it, so I removed it to reduce the size of the ROM and de-clutter.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fatpound:
Hi, I've read numerous posts in this thread reporting the android os battery drain but with this rom but the reply seems to be "this is normal" or "an app is causing your android os drain" but I have been using this rom for some time and have been plagued by the android os battery drain issue. I have recently changed to a different cm10.1 rom and the issue is now gone (I've installed all the same apps etc). Are there any plans to look into this bug or does anyone have any tips as I really like this rom and want to use it but the battery drain from android os is too much! Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's never as simple as "this is normal". It's all explained in my FAQ :)

The majority of users have less than 2% battery drain overnight, with many reporting 0%.

The truth is I have no idea why some people have poor battery life and others don't. There are far too many variables, but I'm confident there isn't a bug causing it, because if there was, it would be the same for everyone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fatpound:
But this bug is present for many people using this rom. Surely too many for it to be coincidence?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] medoo88:
what ????? it's on of the best Music App .... i like it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
If it was the same for everyone I could troubleshoot it more effectively. But in all my beta testing there is never an issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fatpound:
Gutted :( deal breaker for me, and I love this rom apart from that. Oh well, thanks for replying anyway.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
I just flashed dirty unicorn rom to check out halo, and i think its great.

flashed within 5 minutes back to sentinelrom tough ! Way better and faster.

Is there a way to install halo on sentinelrom ?

or is it really implented in the rom ?

grtz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alterman666:
I am interested in this rom, having in mind all the favorable comments posted so far. But I have one question: How is the camera on this rom? What features does it have and it is capable of HD recording (including audio recording)? Also, what is the max resolution for pictures and what camera features are included in the rom?

many thanks for your replies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lefttobleed:
Hi, Just an observation from another CM rom i am using. The battery drain observed similar to this rom happened only in the first battery cycle. After a reboot the rom worked perfectly. Must b the same here. Just need a little patience to observe this.

Your ROM sounds interesting. Will try it today :)

Thank You.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] steftolo:
When I take a picture and I send it by MMS is all pixelated :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jamin_1:
Did exactly the same, just to see holo and I really like it. Would be great to see it in a Sentinel ROM in the future but there isn't a rush since floating notification does a great job.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
First "issue" on this Rom:

I decide to show to a friend the Panoramic option on the camera. The screen stayed black and didn`t open....

Finally you could get off the black screen, and trying open the camera, give-me the error "

Cannot connect with the camera

"....

Even using 3º parth software, didn´t open the camera.

A fast reboot resolve the issue and everything was ok!

Apart this problem, everything seems ok.:angel:

P.S. - I9300 cleaned ROM Sentinel V.4.70 + Gapps only.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] medoo88:
just search the thread for Camera Restart app and install it ... put shortcut on your desktop and whenever the camera can't connect just press the icon and the camera is good to go again :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
Thanks! I give a shoot!:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AvivEliyahu:
Is it possible to toggle camera shutter sound?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
No. in some countries it's illegal to not have a shutter sound for provacy reasons.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
0% overnight. YES!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
NICE!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lefttobleed:
0% overnight here too. how is it possible? Is the rom even alive at night? :)

Excellent ROM. thx.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
I went to a theme park the other day.. Drive away from home with 100% it was a 1.5 hour drive.. Been there for 8 hours.. Then drive back home.. Been away like 12 hours and still had 90% left ! I did use the camera and called a bit. Real awesome battery life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
I know!!! I have absolutely hammered my phone today and have only lost 33%!!!! I cannot understand it either!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AvivEliyahu:
Im trying to kill my battery so ill have some cycles and it refuses to die :D epic rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fourty.saver:
Hi guys, this rom seems really interesting. What about the quality of the camera? Pictures and videos quality are close to the stock camera captured?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Its all good ! Just flash it and see for yourself...

Yesterday i checked out another rom :$

But within 5 mins i got back to this.. Sentinelrom works so fast and smooth unlike any other in my opinion !

Phone vendors should pre install this instead of their own software !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elribatejano:
Hi there all,

First i have to say that this rom is great, fast, stable and no issues, but...... battery life isn't like some people said.

My battery drain's in 1 day. If i go to battery definitions this is what is showed:

33% - not charging

1d 0h 38m 2s of battery:

SO Android - 62%

Screen - 10%

HD widgets - 6%

Network inactivity - 6%

wi-fi - 4%

Google services - 3%

Phone inactivity - 2%

Android System - 2%

3G Watchdog - 2%

I use network 3G everyday, for pushing mail, weather and sometimes internet (googled). I only use wi-fi at home.

My question is, what in hell is SO Android. I've tried many roms and never, never seen this in battery stats.

I've 2 battery's one (original Samsung) is new and the other is the original that come with the phone, both have the same performance.

Great ROM like i said.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] linus98:
Hello fourty, go quiet, this ROM is really good!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you restore any data from a previous ROM?

Did you do a completely clean install?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fourty.saver:
Today a will give a try to this rom. Great linus98.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] lefttobleed:
By SO Android i think u mean Android OS. If u read the FAQs in OP u will learn that it is normal. So ignore that, its basically your standby percentage.

Also your stats state u have used your phone for more than 1 day and still have 33% left ?????

Anyways this is what i did to get this extraordinary backup.

1> used megawipe script for a clean install. (will format your internal SD-Card)

2> installed ROM and gapps

3> wiped cache and dalvik.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alterman666:
I'm interested also in this particular aspect. I am willing to flash this rom but I take a lot of pictures and short films with my SGS3. I wait for your feedback

Sent from my Android device
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
In all honesty. If the camera is really important to you, you're better off sicking with a stock based ROM. Samsung haven't released official drivers for the camera, so camera on AOSP ROMS is always a bit of a hack Job.

The camera works well in my ROM, but it's not as good as stock.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
In terms of image quality or functionality? Or both?

And thank You for your honesty. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alterman666:
Both are important but I am interested if it can take pictures up to 8mpix and if HD recording is at least at 17 - 20 fps with a decent audio quality

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Quality and general stability. No problem. I'm not going to try and sell you a product that doesn't suit your needs :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
You don't sell anything! You provide it for free! ;)

Camera is very good for normal use imo. But if someone wants s3 to use it as a camera phone Stock based Samsung Roms are (unfortunately) the answer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
Well, I've been testing your ROM for a four days now (before that, I was on self-built-very-light version of stock-based ROM), and didn't encounter any stability issues with the camera. :eek:

This morning I have tested both cameras in very low-light conditions (took a couple shots with stock-based ROM then quickly flashed your ROM with clean install and took a couple shots) and copied those images to PC for comparing. Honestly, haven't noticed any difference while comparing those shots. In fact, images taken with Sentinel kinda felt sharper. :eek:

I'm kinda confused... :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback. The camera gets better with every new version, but at the end of the day, it's still a bit of a hack job.

I'd hate for someone who relies heavily on their camera to be caught out with a crash, which is why I still recommend Samsung based ROMs for those who want the best possible camera experience. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
No problem. I understand. :good:

OK, let's say that camera on Samsung-based ROM is more "native" in term of quality and stability.

Are there any other areas (beside TV-out, FM and exFAT support) that are different on Sentinel (or generally speaking CM ROMs)?

I'm not referring on user-depending features, like battery life (speaking of that, battery life on Sentinel is insanely good :good: ) etc. or software add-ons like Smart-stuff, but on pure code-depending... Like RAM management, or codec support, or something that I don't know...?

I'm planning to keep on testing this baby.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
The entire framework and driverset is completely different from Samsung's stock ROMs :) It's impossible for me to list all the differences.:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elribatejano:
Hi,

Yes SO Android is Android OS, i understand that is normal, but when i see guys in here that says over night 0% or 2% consumption i had to ask if it's really normal. Mine over night takes about 10% to 15% consumption, even if i turnoff all network.

It was a clean install, wipe everything (normal wipe, CWM).

I had just restore Data, from some programs, like 3g watchdog, touchdown and 2 games.

The rest i had configure everything again.

But before you say something, let me tell you this, this version 4.70 is much more better than the previous.

The camera works great, even the panoramic mode, HD mode. Everything.

I'm gone try to do the megawipe like you say, fresh clean install. I'm going to install a stock rom (the last in samfirmware) and (re)install this rom again.

I will give you the feedback.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
Understood. :cowboy:

Was thinking more like on "visible-by-an-average-user" differences (but not user-depending, like mentioned TV-out, FM and exFAT support).

Thank you anyway. ;)

Keep up with excellent work, and I'll keep on testing! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sounds like a good plan. try without restoring anything for a few days and see how it goes. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lefttobleed:
k. do the megawipe just before installing this rom cause as u know the folder structure of stock is different from CM roms.

Also a note that i dont have these apps u have mentioned above and nor do i play games on my phone. So check if these apps or games are keepin the phone awake.... try greenify app. best of luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] parth132:
15 hours used for a while

And 71% remaining is it good??

At night 6-7% battery drains
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
Sorry for my ignorance, but what kind of superuser app and binaries are installed in ROM?

(This is a consequence of using just Samsung-based ROMs for a year :o ..until few days ago)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zeru10:
How do you guys get so little screen time battery use? Mine is always 50% and my brightness is ALWAYS the lowest. ;/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
That's because you use your phone more! It doesn't stay idle for a long time in your case, which means less Android OS battery consumption.

Whoever posts battery stats must post screen on time too..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mohitdabbaail:
I don't have words for this awesome ROM. Great performance with best battery life.

Brightness set on automatic. Wifi enabled all the time. All the other apps greenified except Whatsapp. Google Sync for 3 emails enabled on occasional time. HD widgets updating weather after every 2hrs.

The only trouble I've is when I'm taking a photo using the camera in Whatsapp, the camera doesn't give any preview.
