Just a quick reminder guys and girls...

While it may work just fine, it's the single largest source of problems, especially with battery life.

A fresh install is always recommended.

Question concerning this TB Battery bad time :D:

When i restored the apps+data and now i delete all the apps and reinstall them manually. will this fix the issue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fatpound:
It is a bug when it drains your battery ridiculously fast. My battery drain is not relative to its use.

4.75 Update

Dear Developer

When will update 4.75 be available for this phone? Should I wait for it or continue to flash 4.70? I am still on 4.60.

Thank you for an awesome ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plasljivko:
I've been testing this ROM for a week now...

Always doing a clean install - and - never had any problems. Especially with battery - battery life on this ROM is amazing.

When I consider all the qualities of this piece of software - just couldn't ask more from a ROM.

And couldn't thank you enough [MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION]...

Keep up!

Regards...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
4.75 will never be released for this phone. The next version will be 4.80, and it wont be released for a while.

4.75 was onyl for devices that had issues with calls on 4.70 repo sync.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chints108:
Thank you for clearing my confusion...will flash 4.70 right away

TB apps&data?!!

So I have been using this rom for like a month now and having crappy battery life compared to others here, but I have made up my mind not to leave this rom because of how awesome it is.

Come to a conclusion now that my issued with the battery was caused by me restoring over a twenty app with its data using titanium backup, cuz i have everything else right and to the letter.

But i still have some questions I would appreciate if somebody with enough experience answered me.

1-Is it enough to factory reset with data wipe then freshly insatll apps, or do I have to reflash and fresh insatll apps?

2-Is it OK to restore only apps with no data using titanium or its better to manually install apps?

3-Is it OK to backup apps from this after freshly installin them for later restore with data in later versions of the same rom or other aosp rom for that matter?!

Thank you Sentinel for all the hard work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Glad you decided to stick it out :)

1 - It's usually Ok to restore non system apps with titanium, as long as they are not on the system partition. (you should also wipe the system partition before flashing ROMs)

2 - As above

3 - Usually OK, as long as the ROM base hasn't changed, and as long as you aren't restore system apps or anything from the system partition.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yoguslayer:
A little request- hope it doesn't bother you. Can we get custom carrier label? I've searched before and I can't seem to find it in your ROM (don't know if it's included in it) and I know it just some aesthetic stuff, but I'm kinda accustomed to it. Thanks again for the amazing ROM!

I would like to try this rom but I wanted to know a few things:

1) this rom supports the moxer theme?

2) can i use an other launcher (nova apex ecc)?

3) the camera makes good pictures? I ask this because I am using the omega rom 43.1 and the camera makes great pictures

soory for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kongmyy:
having low quality videos in instagram video camera while using the rear camera. front cam works fine though. Aside from that this rom is perfect!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sammb:
This Rom is awesome. Thanx for Release. :highfive:

Just a Question, is it possible to change the Icons on the stock Sentinel Launcher?

By trying it with the Icons for the dock the sentinel launcher stoppt working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I've kept the features of the stock launcher to a minimum to help with battery life, but Nova launcher will do what you want.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
other question: is this rom ok for the sudden death?

sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
the fix is included.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] userguy:
Hi guys,

I read that restoring apps and data can cause trouble with battery etc. How is it if i restore my message threads with whatsapp? Whatsapp itself was freshly installed from app store. Can this cause trouble aswell?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Should be ok
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fatpound:
It seems that other people are also experiencing bad battery life also like me, mine however is definitely not let titanium backup or app related as I've tested this. This problem seems to disappear and reappear sporadically. Some nights 1% battery drain, others 20%+ with everything the same and airplane mode on. I too am sticking with this rom also though as the advantages of this great rom outweigh the one disadvantage (and not everyone experiences that disadvantage). Thanks for this awesome rom! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sandrioni:
Any fix for this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
at this stage, no. Without Samsung camera drivers available it's always going to be a bit buggy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zeru10:
Hey, anyone having problems with Instagram and its new video feature while on this ROM? Cuz I am. I'm running SentinelROM v4.5. Thanks for the feedback. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xStagGx:
Hey,

You wrote that at the moment there is no known bugs yet. I found one. This bug is not only on your rom, but on all CM 10.1 JB 4.2.x roms on S3. As i googled so far many users reported here on XDA this issue, but no one found the solution.

This is camera bug - when attemping to record a video using autoguard blackbox app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3ZhbnMuYXV0b2d1YXJkIl0. ) an error message "Failed to load preview" appear, and app is unable to record a vid.

On temasek's build this bug also causes "unable to access camera" error, but fortunately not on your ROM. (yupi!)

I have also tryed flashing AOSP camera from here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746611

but unfortunately it didn't help aswell.

A lot of people say that this is CM issue, but if so - I cannot understand why no one can find a solution, cause there is a lot of programmers here (CM team, AOSP team, rom developers who rely on CM/AOSP sources and so on...).

Im counting on you :)

Apart from this - good work!

I was having the same issues with Battery drain, but after I did a Nandroid backup to test another ROM and few hours ago restored Sentinel from the Nandroid. I started getting fantastic battery performance.

I don't know if it's related with the backup - restore thing, but definitely something happened that changed the behavior of the ROM.

These are the screens so far (I did that on Saturday )

My first "desilution" with the S3 I9300:

Yesterday, in my town there was a big party, so i make a 720P small videos....

Today at home i open it, and the sound was without exaggeration 95% crap distortion....Its almost that there wasn`t a filter of bass/midle frequency`s...

I now that isn`t a issue related with this rom, and Samsung don`t gave access to the libraries.

Any way.....priceless moment loosed by this "software" issue.

Apart this, photos and the rest of the ROM works flawless....!

Issues with sound quality on video?

Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolnessQ:
Not if you turn it off?

Posted by the Q master, woopiedoooooo
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
Oh I see, your proposing it be an optional addition to the ROM or a feature that can be disabled?

I personally don't see the dev going down that path, but that's just my opinion!!

I am sure when he gets a chance he will let you know his intentions :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolnessQ:
Because an extra feature is always wanted in an very fast/Great batterij life rom, and than that everything can be turned off if needed :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
Well its the first time that someone calls me "spammer"....

Since "nobody" was this issue,

here i left some evidences

(

for those who could be interested, of course

).

This video was taken on my town, with firework, by a user in other forum. Its a S3, didn`t check the ROM yet, probably stock:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmqWpqfa2QM&feature=youtu.be

This is a sample of a recorded video, with my S3 Sentinel V4.70, in other place of the town, same night:

http://speedy.sh/XzkET/VID-20130624-041137.mp4 - Sorry didn`t upload yet to you tube.

The conditions aren`t very different, in terms of acoustic. I also took the same video of fire, and the video is full of distortion like this last one.

Im not expecting an audiophile sound from this device, but defenily for me, something here is very wrong...:confused:

Sorry, for "spamming". Believe-me that want happen again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the detailed information.

Rememeber that Samsung haven't released the official driver sources, so the AOSP drivers are very much a hack job. For that reason, the camera experience will always be better on stock based ROMs.

BTW I wasn't calling you a spammer in general. It's just that asking the same question over and over doesn't help. :)

I've made some adjustments to audio which I am testing in the next version which will hopefully help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Just to make it clear. It doesn't, I do get exactly same idle drain what i was getting before halo sources were merged into the rom i'm using. Off course similar on-screen usage as well. Same kernel tweaks. So i'm pretty sure it doesn't effect battery life in any way. If it did, I could be the first one against holo. Even when halo sources were merged, the first thing came up into my mind was "Will it decrease my battery life?" But a big NO. Then I even forgot about that. Now after reading the discussion here, It did make me to remember all that,

^ I just wanted to clear the misconception here. It is still up to the sentinel. If he is doing something. He must be thinking into the right direction!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcall_r:
Hi

I am new to this ROM, and overall find it very slick and impressive,

HOWEVER I cannot get Wifi Tethering to work. When connected the device gets connection to the phone but not to the internet. I am testing with my Asus android tablet.

Is there any workaround to this issue? It seems to be a widespread issue not only on this ROM but also in other CM builds.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Mine works fine? Takes a few minutes for the internet connection to go through to the computer but it works fine.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolnessQ:
[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] can you make an battery save option? That will give a soort of special background like slimbeam do and samsung with the TW roms, and will make the cpu a bit lower to let it dont drain the battery to much :)

It still does not work. I also had this problem before I came to this ROM, before on Omega ROM AOKP v7.0

I did not have this problem when I was on a Samsung based ROM.

I can connect to the AP, but there is just no internet access.

Has anyone else had this issue? I have searched all over but cannot find a working fix for it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
You might need to flash back to stock via Odin and make sure all your radios and everything are totally up to date, then go back to this ROM.

I pushed the setteing.apk to system/app , and it works.

I don't know why Sentinel has linked those mods from ZTE blade. They might have worked if they were using vr theme engine but since they do not they don't work.

Please remove those links from the OP

Um, is that Mod not from a blade forum?

isnt there any mod where you can adjust the brightness of the screen even in auto-mode (like with sammy roms)? I mean I select auto, but still want to chose wether it should be a bit lower or higher around the automatically detected brightness. would be awesome, thanks!

sentinel launcher does not work for me anymore :( upgrade from 4.7 to 4.8.... dammit :(

after a cleaninstall (wiping every crap available) i noticed that you cannot change the clock design. it is stated as "digital clock" but shows the analog clock. no matter what i choose, the analog clock stays.

also i wanted to add the feature to set screenlight using the notification bar swiping from left to right. you have to diable automatic light adjustment for it. even if i disable it i cannot choose the option.

for me 4.8 seems kinda buggy, switched back to my 4.7 backup :D

Battery Stats

Battery stats changes every time i reboot the device, I mean before rebooting I had one hour of screen time and 17 hours of standby AFTER rebooting i have less screen time and idle time,, 40 min of screen time and 14 hours of idle time

Actually i have this problem for a while now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Mot people have exceptionally good battery life with this ROM, so there must be a problem.

Lets start at the begining. have you done a full wipe and factory reset without restoring any data?

Take a nandroid backup first of course.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bubu.:
*I did full wipe / factory reset / format system partition

*than flashed the rom and the gapps-zipfile (both with md5hash confirmed to be corrent)

*then I signed in on google with my account which restoreds all my apps freshly from the market

*then I just restored the data of all my custom apps (no system apps at all) via titanium backup

that's it. I uninstalled the calculator (Im using calculator++), the sentinel update checker, the live wallpapers and the browser (since I'm using chrome)

edit: and yes, I've got a nearly perfect deep sleep of 98% which is incredible, as you state it, but still the battery drops too fast.

maybe because I'm using a polarcell akku? I'll try the original samsung one now...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK. the process is all good. How many charge cycles have you been through? It does take 2 or 3 to settle.

Is it possible that your battery is getting old? I assume you battery life is OK on other ROMs.

Sorry to ask dumb questions, but I have to start at the very beginning as I'm sure you can appreciate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
The weird thing is that. There is nothing bad in your BBS dump. NOTHING. 98% deep sleep is so far so good. Even when i get 96% deep sleep there is only 0.3 to 0.5 lost/hr, If this is not the case of any app which is draining your battery & in BBS it is not showing that (Which can't be case, RARE). The issue is your battery then. I still doubt.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sandrioni:
Weird, getting can't connect to camera.

Yes,full wipe and everything.....
