[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
Hi :)

Just wanted to ask those running the new ROM is they have been able to get the nav bar working? I used the mod on page 1 which I have successfully used on other 4.3 roms how ever it hasn't worked on this Rom.

Anyone know of any other methods? Otherwise, loving the simplicity and reliability of sentinel Rom again!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Downloads should be OK again now. You guys smashed the server so hard while i was sleeping. Over 40,000 downloads!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Premium theme Released

For those of you interested. I've just released the first premium theme for SentinelROM.

It's a KitKat theme.

Have a look at some screenshots and download on the Play Store.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VuBoo:
Sorry for double post :/

1st Screenshot is Bad.

Here the good one which shows that the rom is OK ..

Guys whats so hard to use philz cwm, full wipe and flash the Rom ?

Btw downloaded around 5-7 hours ago..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Are you guys who are having problems all running Android 4.3 compatible recoveries?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
If anyone is wanting the nav bar in this Rom, I have found that the "enable navbar" option in the Pimp My Rom Beta app (on the play store) has worked. The mod in the first post didn't work for me. Once enabled, settings can be found in settings -> interface.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Can you screenshot the feature you mean? I'm not sure what you're talking about.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
Sorry mate, I'm terrible at explaining things haha. Hope the picture helps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
IMPORTANT

Guys, a lot of people are complaining of bootloops after installing on Samsung Galaxy SIII, and of GAPPS issues...

You MUST upgrade to an Android 4.3 compatible recovery, and you MUST install an Android 4.3 compatible GAPPS package.

I'm getting really sick of people complaining all over social media when they haven't read the instructions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
You made your Rom too good. So good that people who barely know what a Rom is want your stuff on their phone.

Maybe take a page of cyanogenmods book and distribute your Rom via an installer app or even an aroma interface to counter the lack of knowledge some of the new users have. It might take some effort to set up but seems like it could save you ALOT of time answering/ solving people's problems.

The perils of having an incredibly popular Rom on an incredibly popular phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I used to distribute via an app, but people got that wrong too (didn't wipe caches, etc) and complained, and naturally that was my fault too, so I had to discontinue that method.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adilrenzu:
"and Naturally that was my fault too" LoL Bro.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sandrioni:
How is the camera quality compared to Sammy?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Reports so far have said that it's just as good as the Samsung ROM in terms of image quality. I can't comment though because I'm relying on others feedback.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VuBoo:
Mate for me it is working, wanted to proof/show via Screenshot which i attached :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
Any help plz.

Changing build.prop or .xml files is okay for me.

As long as I can get 9x9 or 11x11.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
Im gonna give another try, later at home...

Is there need of any "special" recovery version? I ask this (almost stupid) question because i have installed

TWRP last version

, made Wipe: Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and internal Storage.

Than Format Data - yes.

Install the Rom correct version I9300 International version (double check and download) and Gapps 13.08.2013 (also double check and download for 4.3), after....then reboot...and the eternal loop,,,

All those files are in the External SD. I have lots of stuff (Rom`s, music, previous Sentinel rom`s) but im quiet sure i didn`t make confusion with them...in fact i put this 2 files in a separate past...

Im making all this statement not to criticize but to try understand what did i do wrong, and maybe help someone else...

Keep the Good work and tks for you patience :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Perhaps you have partitioned your system partition with another ROM or something? Is the problem only occuring after you flash GAPPS?

Maybe try boothing without gapps, then install gapps and wipe cashes again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
Good question...but not with my intention....but when i use a explorer, i see lot of leters/drivers..:eek:

After work im gonna try what you sugest and give feedback! Tks Sentinel!:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galaxy2055:
It's best ROM I have been use in CM fast smooth everything work very well.but I have noticed something

In normal use temperatures up to 35.3 :( why?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
Is Your rom already exFat natively compatible Sentinel? Cause I would really like to try it and I need that functionality badly ;)

Tapnięte z mojego Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
unfortunately it doesn`t work for me.....

Came to my house, format another SD card on FAT32, and download fresh ROM + Gapps (4.3).

Meanwhile i did FORMAT everything on the S3.

Turn off, put SD, install first ROM only reboot and....loop.

Enter recovery, install gapps, reboot and loop......

Recovery again, wipe cash....reboot.....nothing......

Not complain here but probably some 4.2.2 Sam rom i did use change something.....i just can´t put this to work...

Dam....

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

and.....

.found the problem

!

Better....i didn`t....but what least i have your rom working..:highfive::laugh::good:

I did install another

rom 4.2.2 with other recovery

, enter on it, wipe/format everything again and did try install Sentinel....and voilá!:D

The recovery im using: PhilZ Touch 5.06.8

I became suspicious after Sentinel question me about other partitions...so i did try another rom 4.3....and did have the same problem...loop! So it wasn`t this rom the problem...but something on my S3...but i did get the confirmation.

So i uninstall TWRP recovery and did install Philz Touch:D

Problem solved!

Hope i can give some clue to Mister Sentinel Master itself, and more important help someone that is having the same problems...

Excuse-me but now im goig enjoy the ROM:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JohnyZepp:
Hi Sentinel, great job! Install according your manual and everything work....

One question: I can not find setup for colours... in last versions it was possible to set up colour tone. Stock colour tone in this version is too colourfull for me... thx for answer ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] steftolo:
frankly this rom is great.

thank you for this work.

does anyone have a link to the bar transparent statue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
Man, which version of TWRP were you using? Cause right now I am using 2.6.3.0 and I dont know if its compatible with this rom? I would like not to change it if its possible ;D

Tapnięte z mojego Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
The same as yours....last one 2.6.3.0...but

maybe it was a coincidence

..:angel:

So far: Camera from S4 doesn`t work,,,already install Focal.

Almost 1000 points more than any 4.2.2. Sam rom...

File explorer doesn`t recognise SD EXTERNAL. I did have to install Explorer Es to enter my external partition and apply my favourite Apk´s...

Except that....no issues!

I missed the fast fluid and minimalist rom of Sentinel......:p:cool::cowboy:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mord0rr:
If you read, i did try the sugestion of Sentinel, booting without install Gapps and the problem was the same. Even 3º ROM 4.3 it didn`t boot...somewhere in my S3 was the problem....anyway...solved...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Edris89:
Will there be a support for note 10.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
Out of personal experience i can tell you, that this Rom is perfect. I do not care about benchmarks at all! Usage performance and battery life is everything! At this point, this rom is beyond any other rom!

Sure, in the first two days i had a battery drain of 25% per hour. Now i am very happy with about 7% with pretty heavy usage!

I love you Sentinel! :D

Cheers :beer:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Psycho_666:
It all works flawless, fast and light on the battery! You've done wonders again :D

Only things I'm missing a bit are the fast toggles bar and colour settings (you know... The standard, movie, natural things)

Everything else works perfect so far :thumbup:

yeah...i used tapatalk...so?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
System Settings > Interface > Notification Drawer > Tick show in drawer.

There you go with your fast toggles

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hundred_miles_high:
Hi, can I install this from ext-sd card (I am running Philz advanced CWM)? Sorry for such a dumb question, but as the OP install instructions state copy ROM image to internal storage thought i'd best check before messing anything up :o

On my last phone (Galaxy W) it was standard practice when going for a full, clean install to format internal storage (as well as format system, clear cache & Dalvik etc, etc) when flashing a new ROM but if I have to install from internal storage obviously this would not be a good thing to do. Cheers dudes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AdrianM:
Yes, you can do it. I did it yesterday.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Psycho_666:
Thanks, got it :D

Any idea about the colour intensity too?

I always used the natural setting so the stock settings are a bit too colourful for me.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] LogDoc:
Here is my Question again !!!!!!!!!!!

Testet your Rom on 3 different Galaxy S3, all have the same problems !

I disable all options for Cell broadcasts but i get messages from time to time about Cell broadcast !!!

Can i not full deactivate it??

Please Help, otherwise i have to go away from your ROM.

All 3 People like your ROM so much !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. I don't have an answer for that one at this stage. I'll look iinto it for the next build.

I assume you went into Settings - Wireless & networks - Cell broadcasts and switched everything off?

We don't have cell broadcasts here in AUS so it's impossible for me to test further.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
You can do it in recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I just did some more investigation. Under Settings - Developer Options, do you have "Don't Keep Activities" checked?

Maybe try turning the setting on and off again...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LogDoc:
Thanks for Answer,

i switched everything off, but it doesn´t help.

Today i traveled by train and get 57 cell broadcast messages !! Totally Annoying...

The Nexus has more options in the cell broadcasts menu.

Maybe this is the solution ?!?

Greetings
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I assume you rebooted after turning off the Cell Broadcast settings?

Sorry I can't be more help at the moment. I promise I'll look into it more for the next build.

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] is it safe to put AC!DMOD v7 on the rom?

posted by the Q Master, woepidooo
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
you're always welcome to try Mods and tweaks, but I recommend making a backup in recovery first just in case. As I say in the OP, I can't offer support here for 3rd party tweaks and mods...

Please let me know if it works. If it does I'll add a link in the OP of the thread under MODS :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ulixess:
This rom is ... awesome!! I remember my Desire days with 2% batterydrain during 10 hours. These days are now back. Thank you Sentinel!

The whole rom is super smooth, Real Racing 3 is smooth, too, but I come from Carbon Rom and there it was even more smoother. However, the very very good battery life is much better than a little bit smoother game ;)

But I have a question: Is it possible to add some features of Carbon, such as the hardware key relink (for example long press menu swithes the display off) or some from SlimBean, e.g a wallpaper in the notification bar? It'd be perfect!

Anyway, keep up the great work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like the ROM so much!!

There are longpress functions available under "Settings" - "System" - "Hardware Keys", however there are less functions assignable than in Carbon. the reason is that in my experience, adding event listeners for these functions slows the for performance down and increases battery use.

I did a poll within the SentinelROM Facebook community a few weeks ago, and about 80% of users said they'd prefer extreme performance and battery life over less commonly used functions. Feel free to vote if you'd like!

At the end of the day we are still dealing with inefficient silicone based chipsets which means you can't have your cake and eat it too. At least not just yet.

Enjoy the ROM :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ulixess:
Ok thanks for your answer. You may be right ;)

One last question: Whats the name of the weather widget at the first screenshot? Looks pretty nice.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
"Eye in Sky".

I have approval from the author to include the free version in my ROM, but that makes it difficult to upgrade to the pro version, so I opted to leave it out. It's a great widget though!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Nuff said...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Awesome! thanks for sharing! I'll add that to the OP!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ulixess:
You are great mate! :) This will be my daily Rom till you update it ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ErnestoD:
Im sorry guys I have to ask this stupid question??

Is this 4.2.2 or 4.3 rom ??

In first page, in pics it apperas 4.2.2, but Im reading and I see people asking for 4.3 GAPPS. Also CM 10.2 is 4.3 rigth???

Sorry and thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AdrianM:
4.3, based on CM10.2 which is 4.3 too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ErnestoD:
Thanks but I found this in download site:

Download the latest version of SentinelROM for your Android tablet or smartphone:

Be sure to reference the FAQ’s page for any questions before asking in the forums or on the Facebook page.

Please note: SentinelROM is based on Android 4.2.2,[/B] which includes multi-user support. To achieve this, a slightly different SD Card folder structure is used. For those of you who are new to Android 4.2 and unfamiliar with the procedure to copy your data across to the new file system, I suggest creating a full backup of your SD card on your PC, then wiping it and copying your data back across once you have the ROM installed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AdrianM:
No, it's 4.3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ErnestoD:
Thanks man Downloading now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
I know what you mean, but i think they've removed it :(

Well i'm okay with it anyway :thumbup:

If i find something i'll pm you

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hundred_miles_high:
Just flashed this ROM coming from stock and overall I really really like it (bar a couple of issues with Play store throwing a hissy fit and cell broadcasts needing disabling), however I have one really annoying issue which is that the wifi speed sporadically becomes painfully slow with downloads and streaming crawling to almost a standstill. Turning wifi off and back on seems to sort it for a while but it's a real pain at the moment.

Has anyone else got/had the same problem?

Is there a fix?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Been running v5.00 for a few hours now. So far so good, no severe bugs yet.

Although, I do have a small annoying issue. Whenever I manually lock the phone (pressing the power button), there's a severe lag between the screen turning off (which is almost instant, which is normal), and the audible "click" when you lock the phone.

Basically, when the screen goes blank after the CRT off animation, I have to wait a least 3-4 seconds before hearing the "click".

Anyone else have this issue? I've tried fiddling with Yank.555's latest kernel settings to no avail :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bigdave79:
Just installed this ROM myself and I got the same thing... doesn't really bother me - just turn off the screen lock sound!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Undgrand:
Same here. There is a little latency when you lock the phone. Its faster when you unlock it. But wasn't there a battery drain bug or something like that when you have these clicking sound on? Im mean this "tone when touching" option too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Yeah no lag at all when unlocking. Only when locking. Really? Battery drain with the sounds on? :|

Haha yeah, turning off the sound was an idea, but I've grown to like the sound :)
