20000 and beyond...

Currently im using SentinelRom v5

Using the AGNi kernel

( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231393)

Cpu Oc @ 1704

Gpu as well. :cool:

This was just an experiment! Not my daily driver. During the benchmark i lost about 5% power :rolleyes: There are many power saving options in this kernel too. Its like the boeffla kernel with a faster zram mod. :good: :thumbup:

I'm still testing the battery life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NeoCream:
Does this current release of SentinelRom include the "Quick access Ribbons" from CyanogenMod? They should replace the power widgets... can anyone confirm this? (see under Quick access settings)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AdrianM:
Yes, it has them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AvivEliyahu:
Is there an download speed indicator on status bar option? Also,wanted to know if the rom comes with cm stock kernel. If so,does flashing other kernel will remove your battery tweaks?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
Roms excellent! testing battery life as of now! :D which mega bass beats shud i flash? v2 or the one made for 4.3 which people say doesn work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ktmbikerman:
USB dock audio

Can anyone please advise if this rom has working USB dock audio?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
DSP manager lets you tune the sound. there's no need for any of these sound mods. Use the graphic equalizer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davtse:
use the xblast xposed module for download indicator

hey rom is perfect, but im having a little problem. All my push notifications are vibrating. I turned off all vibration on the phone and also on apps. Any1 knows what happening?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mbennett156:
Hi I'm loving the Rom so far in terms of speed, my HOX has never been faster, however I'm suffering from pretty poor battery life due to excessive wakelocks

It seems that power_key_wake_lock and baseband_xmm_power are stopping my device from entering sleep. I've tried searching these up but haven't found anything useful.

Some people suggested turning of location access but it hasn't helped at all
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
HOX?

This is i9300 thread man.

Oh sorry haha, I'm on the app and didn't see, although I'm struggling to find the HOX thread :/.

I'll begin by suggesting the search feature. this has been covered many times already :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
can u post ur stats pleas! :D with 3g on most time and overnight wifi i get only around 2 hours screen time and i deided to try googy max kernel now!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
I'm curious to see your stats too. Been on Sentinel for about a week now, and for the first day or so (on stock ROM kernel), I had pretty decent battery life, then switched to Yank's kernel, and the battery has been pretty miserable (I only get about 12-13hrs with moderate usage).

I've just flashed the latest version of Googymax and have installed BetterBatteryStats too, so fingers crossed I get better results with Googy!! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
sure! :D will do after this run!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Look forward to it!! :)

Been observing my BetterBatteryStats usage all morning, and for some reason, my "Awake" time is unusually high (sitting at 1hr 29min at the moment), considering "Screen On" is fairly low (25min 43sec only). Anyone else observe this as well?

Trying to figure out what exactly's causing the "Awake" times :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's probably the BetterBatteryStats app keeping it awake. lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
i wish i could upload my stats :D but i messed it up but i charged to 100 was watching something on my phone and dozed in the middle! Woke up in the morning to see 45% battery left with the device screen on of 4 hours :D! it has been on somehow screen time with wifi seems good! with 3g however get 2-3 hrs screen time

about latest radio for i9300

Hello all

My girlfriend have a galaxy s3 (i9300) with Sentinel rom..

I flashed V5 recently, but after a few days... the phone was begin to freeze..

so i restored to the backup via CWM (4.80)

But the phone still freeze - now several times at a day..

Baseband version is i9300XXELLA

I searched a bit on google about these freezes..

And i read an article about XXELLA could get the phone to crash a lot..

So now i wanna hear..

which CWM MODEM should i install..

Plese attach a links also..

Thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
I'm currently running Xella too. If you want to change basebands i'd recommend yoh this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.pullesson.android.perkasfilestashfree

Its the free version so you only can download about 5 a week/day or something.

Good luck and please report further achievements

:):beer:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing v5?

Also, did you also happen to restore backed up apps with TiBu? If so, don't. TiBu backups unfortunately don't play well when restored to a different ROM... You'll need to backup data from each app individually via their own in-app methods (that is, if the app even offers this) :)

This is by far the most stable and smooth CM-based ROM I've ever tried, and has made me ditch TW-based ROMs for good, so hopefully you can get your gf's phone sorted!! :D

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Haha, all good dude :)

I've been experiencing noticeably better battery life with the latest Googy-Max kernel as opposed to Yank's, so fingers crossed this gets better after a few charge cycles. Managed to squeeze out 18 hours yesterday with moderate usage.

On a side note, anyone notice the loudspeaker sound quality isn't as good as TW roms? I'm getting quite a bit of distortion with some ringtones which I never had when on UltimaROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheMasahiro:
does any1 have a solution for this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] showbizz:
Thx for alle the answers.. i will try another radio from that perka's flash tool from play..

Yes, i wiped both cache, Dalvik, (full wipe)

and also formated system..

Using CWM recovery ..

First time i installed it , allrdy under seup it was freezing..

Googled around.. Found out that XXXELLA radio... does not supporting the SD-fix

So i will change the radio..

I think the phone have some emmc problems.. :(

I also read that some ppl have found out, that chrome could mess it up,.

So now i uninstalled it.. using firefox instead..

I have only got 1 freeze tha last 12 hours..

But as i can read... the phone is not freezing completely... but it can take about 5-25min before it is stabilized..

Now i will change the radio.. to the latest...

I will try to backup EFS also.. so i not got "LOST EMEI"

I will come with feedback..

:)

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

first freeze allready :( After changing radio - using perkas flash tool

Now im going to wait to se if the phone came stable again...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] showbizz:
Updated to stock 4.1.2 rom with odin..

Rooted and also updated Recovery to latest cwm

No freeze until now...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] showbizz:
maybe root problems

No freezes for many hour now,,,

I think all the problems is a behavior of missing or wrong root..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kp.nikhil:
super fast and battery friendly.. loving it

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Good to hear!! Maybe try flashing SentinelROM again?

Oh, and also, if you haven't already done so, you should probably do all your flashing with Philz CWM Recovery from now on. It's basically CWM but much, much better :)

Some people have reported issues with TWRP recovery when flashing 4.3 ROMs ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NeoWave:
Any plan to include active display in the rom ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] veethree:
So far my battery life on this is far better than any other AOSP ROM that I've tried. Thanks for the great work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khaledvic:
thank you for the awesome game

but I can't install supersu or make the gamekiller work ?

I think it's a problem with root but supersu couldn't update su binaries
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
I think you meant awesome "rom"? ;)

Regarding SuperSU, did you enable root access in "Developer options" in the "Settings" menu? I had the same issue as you, but once I enabled root access to both "Apps & ADB", SuperSU updated the binaries without a hitch.

In case you were wondering, and if you haven't already done so, you will need to enable "Developer options" first by going into "About phone", then tap the "Build number" repeatedly until it unlocks the settings :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khaledvic:
:D rom off-course great fast and beautiful it's even faster then ios :D

and I got the supersu working by downloading the zip file from http://download.chainfire.eu/204 and flash it manually using cmw recovery

and now gamekiller works like a charm :))

thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kentykentkent:
As a long time user of your ROM, I had to use omega ROM on my note 3.

Oh my... It makes me appreciate you and your work 10x more, please please please consider making a ROM for the note.

I will love you eternally :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjMonkeyUK:
I had the same experience, I really like SentinelROM and had no issues with the v4 builds but after I flashed v5 I was experiencing regular freezes. I tried wiping and flashing multiple times even with both CWM and TWRP but still seemed to freeze. After searching I thought it could be the eMMC / storage block issue... so I tried out the fixes suggested but I was unsure if I was seeing any results. Since then I have reverted back to the latest stock rom, which is XXEMG4, and so far I have not experienced any freezes (although it does stutter a bit, but I guess that is because I am now too used to the snappiness of SentinelROM :P ).

Both the build and baseband version I have now is XXEMG4 (not sure what it was before).

If anyone has had a similar experience or has a good idea as to what might be happening it would be greatly appreciated ! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Royal.Bengal:
The Best Experience

I'm a kind of person who is allergic to almost any third party UI other than pure Android. Most of all Samsung's own, because of that reason I've tried to run most of the custom roms both Samsung based and CM. The major issue with non Samsung based roms is battery drain but with your rom I personally find this issue is non existent. Battery life is as close as stock rom if not better! Just to add, I'm running with Boeffla's kernel for I like the support of Boeffla sound engine. Thanks a billion for taking your time and putting a lot of effort to present this rom to users like me. I really hope that you will have the willpower and motivation to continue developing SentinelROM further. A lot of devs for i9300 are either quiting for personal reason or switching to other devices. Keep it up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
I second that. Best stock Android ROM out there, period.

Unrivalled speed, stability and snappiness of stock Android, combined with just the right amount of built-in customisability :)

Really do hope the dev doesn't jump ship. Now that I have a mortgage, I'm too poor to afford a new phone lol...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dreamtimduncan:
Hi, I am using nova launcher as my default launcher. One of my friend said that he also have freeze issue, the only difference was the launcher. Then he tried nova, freeze problem has gone. Then I tried the sentinel launcher but did not have freeze problem. Maybe you can have a try with nova launcher.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
The launcher that comes with SentinelROM shouldn't have any freezing problems. You may have had a bad flash? Try a full wipe and reflashing?

However, that being said, Nova Launcher definitely is the best launcher for Android, hands down. Nova Prime is well worth the small "donation" :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LeJolly:
You can remove the bug texts now, you fixed it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TechMennis:
Hi there,

I recently just got a Galaxy S III and this is the no. 1 ROM I'd like to install first! But I just want to know if this has the full functions that comes with a Stock S III. Eg. Hand Gentures and I believe there is Multi window which I really want! I just wanted to know if this comes with this ROM? :)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
no. If you want all the Samsung add-ons you need to use a samsung rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TechMennis:
Thanks, is there any support for multi window at all?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
I have a question, and a hope not be misunderstood...

Between V5 (4.3) and for instance 4.70, which one has better battery consume?

Like i said some post before, i did have a bad consume with version 5....:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Nope. That's a Touchwhiz only feature as well :)

If those features are essential to you, I'd recommend sticking to a TW-based rom. I never used those features so I don't miss them.

I'd take the fluidity & snappiness of stock Android over Samsung's gimmicky features any day. Just a personal preference ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
i had much better battery life with 4.7.

i like this rom a lot, but becouse of the battery drain i switched back to another rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Brutos08:
Yep i am with you on that i had such high battery drain I tried everything fresh install nothing installed still high drain I loved SentinelROM but i now switched back to a Sammy and normal drain. I used to go bed with 50% data wifi disable and wake up with about 20% that was way too much drain.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
I did ask this, even at moment im using another rom (4.2.2), not to criticize Sentinel Rom, but to help and confirm my own vue of this rom...

However, in defense of Sentinel, i also did try other rom`s 4.3, and the drain was practically the same....so do not "accuse" your beloved Master Sentinel...

Im gonna keep my actual stuff (doesn`t motter wich one) and wait for the oficial release from Sam next month...hope that programmers had a new fresh point of start to code...

Thank you for the feedback! Apart this, a smooth a fast rom!:good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Man you have a lot of questions lol... Have you tried browsing through the Settings menu yourself? You'll be surprised how much you learn by doing that...

There's a few customisation options in the "Settings" menu under "Interface" for battery and signal status icons. If you want a ROM with a tonne of customisation options, you might want to try elsewhere.

As far as colours, you can donate to Sentinel by buying one of the many colour themes he's released on the Playstore...

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Strange. I don't have this issue.

V5 is one of the most stable roms I've ever used. Even more so than TW-based roms :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elribatejano:
I to all.

I use your ROM for a long time even with previous sentinels ROMs.

It's the best ROM but battery drain is bigger then the previous roms, but is understandable.

Now my question, is about tv-out. It's an CM issue or you dont inclued this feature?

Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ragnus:
Hi. As far as I know it is native to all CM based roms for SGS3. Seems they can't get drivers for the TV Out.

And also I have another question:

Does anyone know how to change the volume hops for headphones audio output? There seems to be a realy large increase between hop 7 and hop 8 of the volume adjustment when it comes to listening to music.

Or maybe someone has a method to create a wider range of hops in music volume adjustment?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
Sentinel,

Saw that the screenshot on the FP are outdated.

If you're interested, I could deliver you some up to date screenshots.

Just let me know if you want it and how you want them.

ps.

Hope you'll be working on 4.4 soon ;)

EDIT:

Found a BIG problem yesterday.

WiFi direct isn't working.

Can connect to someone, but don't have a button share over wifi-direct in the gallery or the file browser.

It used to be there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elribatejano:
Hi,

WiFi direct is working fine for me.

And yes the button isn't there in file explorer i doens't no why.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yasser86:
Play STORE ??

where is play store and google apps ?

i dont find them in the rom after installing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VuBoo:
You have to install gapps (Google apps) after installing the rom, mate :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DozerD:
On LiquidSmooth Rom, for this problem I use Xposed Installer framework and a module called Xvolume30, which can increase the number of these hops to 30. Give it a try, hopefully it works on Sentinel Rom too.

Works works works! Thank you very much :)

Bluetooth tethering still not working?

Just installed the latest Sentinel Rom (v5.00) but still can't get bluetooth tethering to work. Now it fails to even pair with my laptop. Doesn't matter whether I pair from the phone to the laptop or the laptop to the phone - the pairing fails every time. Anyone else got this working, and if so, how did you do it?!

Update: I can successfully pair the laptop to my Plantronics 520 earpiece, which then works OK as an earpiece. I can also pair the phone to the earpiece, and again, it (mostly) works as an earpiece - except voice-dialing doesn't work - sigh. The phone goes into listening mode, but doesn't appear able to hear the audio from the earpiece. So the long and the short of this seems to be that the bluetooth code in the SGS3 version of CyanogenMod is rather flaky.

Sentinel: I'm guessing you don't do much with the SGS3 CyanogenMod code, other than take the source and build it into your ROM ... however, is it possible for you to raise bugs against that code for us? Seems like we need to point the maintainers at some of these problems.

Thanks

Richard
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ragnus:
Hi there,

One of the first things I tested after flashing 5.00 was the bluetooth. I have a HS3000 headset, and it pairs flawlessly with both my laptop (HP Probook 6560b win Win7 sp1) and with SGS3 running SentinelROM and it works without any problems (music, calls, controls). Now I did a test with pairing SGS3 to the laptop - works fine as well, did a file transfer for testing purposes. The only thing I did was to show my phone to other BT devices, an option found in the BT menu. No other configuration changes were made on SGS3 regarding BT.

So in your case I would start with the following:

- What OS are u running on your PC?

- What bluetooth receiver type of device is installed on your PC?

I used to have problems between HS3000 and my laptop, but then I found a hefty bluetooth drivers pack from HP and it solved everything.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sixedup:
I can pair the plantronics with either the laptop or the phone too (in theory, even both at the same time, but lets not get too confused here!)

Everything works for me, except voice-dialing ... strange.

Mines a Thinkpad with built-in bluetooth, running Linux.The bluetooth adapter is an internally-connected USB Broadcom BCM2045B (BDC-2.1), which is supposedly well-supported under Linux. I'm on the latest stable bluetooth code, and that adapter is at least a couple of years older than the code, so it should be fine. I will see if the plantronics works with voice-dialing on a friends Nexus 4. It would be nice if the solution to that is as simple as buying a new bluetooth headset!

The problems with bluetooth tethering are more of an issue. The fact that it fails to pair with the laptop, when both the phone and the laptop can pair perfectly well with (say) the headset is most strange, I'll try it again, both with my laptop and the Nexus 4, and a different laptop & my SGS3, and see if I can narrow it down at all. Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sam77744:
Dear Sir, when we got cm11 4.4kitket.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sixedup:
The Plantronics earpiece works perfectly with my friends Nexus4, including voice-dialing. Of course, that is now running Android 4.4, so it's not exactly the same code base as Sentinel ROM. But nontheless it definitely looks like the problem I'm experiencing with voice-dialing over bluetooth is something in Sentinel Rom, or one of it's base components.

This was more interesting. It turns out that I can't get my laptop to pair with my friends Nexus 4 either. It fails in exactly the same way as on Sentinel ROM - irrespective of which device initiates the pairing, the pair fails with an invalid password. My friend also tried to pair his Linux laptop (an Acer) to his Nexus4, and that failed in exactly the same way. So the problem is either a problem in the Linux bluetooth stack, or a problem in the bluetooth stack in Android. Unfortunately neither of us has a Windows computer to try with our phones, so we can't determine which is the true problem. So, if anyone has a Windows laptop tethering via a Bluetooth link to either Sentinel Rom, or any other version of Android, I'd be delighted to hear of it ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] engcristiano:
You're a completely NOOB or is pretending to be. This here is serious, many questions stupid...

As you can see, this ROM is NOT KK4.4, and if you want type google.com or search in others forums here in XDA, but please, STOP with stupidity and take the job seriously DEV Team! ;)
