Just tested this rom for a day,

My sharing so far:-

- Antutu Benchmarking score: - Pure Sentinel (15xxx) , Sentinel with Googy Kernel (14xxx or nearly 15000), Sentinel with Siyah 1.9.1 (13xxx).

- I'm not sure if the kernel did anything bad to WiFi HotSpot, I can't turn on HotSpot after installed with Googy. (Maybe anyone could test the hotspot with Sentinel stock Kernel).

- Yes, As some users mentioned, without ability of tweaking, I couldn't enjoy the high speed charging (899mah USB, 1189mah AC, which offered by Siyah and Googy)

Just sharing my experiences, You can refer to it before you do anything to the kernel part :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
i been using wifi hotspot all day on stock kernel

I can't change my notification sound. Stock is this doing. Already changed through options to another one, but doesn't work. There is still this doing appearing

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Change pictures resolution
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Biemchen25:
How can I change to ? There's no 16:9 format
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
5MP is 16:9
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Biemchen25:
Oh sorry... I didn't test it because on stock 16:9 is 6MP. Uuuups, I will test it, sorry:banghead:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Don't worry, or just flash or install another camera, like Jb+
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lanc1337:
Yea I test it (version for Samsung Devices).

I deleted dsp manager > flash acid sound > and I have no sound at all in system :<

Lucky my - I backuped my rom before that operation :D

Small summary for this rom:

Disadvantages:

- no acid sound ;/

- no fast charge

- photo / movie quality isn't as good as in stock camera

Advantages:

- SPEEEEEEEEEEEED

- battery life

- everything else

As I say before - this rom is almost perfect for me :)

BTW: Here is screenshots from my battery life - I use 3000mAh official samsung battery. And I'm really heavy user. That day I'm using Tapatalk for around 2-3 hours, 30-40 minutes web browsing, 40 minutes mp3, 25 minutes phone talk, 100 sms and here is the result. Also it is very sunny day so screen was almost always at 100% (I use auto brightness). WiFi and data connection was always on since I unplugged device :)

I also made another test during night. WiFi and data connection off. After 8 hours of standby I loss 0% of battery O_O Before I go sleep I have 45% and when I'm wake up 8h later I still have 45%! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Cause seems that stock camera doesn't have 6mp, which is actually 16:9 but I've been taking photos at 5mp and looks like 16:9
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Biemchen25:
Test out and no resolution is 16:9! So 16:9 should 6MP I think. Someone else of you people can help me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauroG:
Yeah, you're right. I made a mistaje with apps... You need a 3rd party app, like camera JB+
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
That's what I'm talkin bout!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Eleve11:
Will give this a try cause the good battery life everyone talks about :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
Thank you so much for this Rom ! I really wonder how did you achieve such good battery life compared to stock CM !

P.S. : CM 10.1 18th nightly contains the new mali drivers ;)

Naah dude, the real deal or nothing :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guastucci:
Great Rom. One question the kernel is sudden death free? Any ota for new releases?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ulixess:
The kernel has the sudden death fix. ;)

I think you meaned "ETA". There are no ETA's. Its done when its done, and the new release was just 2 days ago!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayydin:
Hello everyone online subscribed to the thread! Let me ask just one question. Can I put custom images over notification panel with this rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Yep. The new drivers will be included in the next build.

then you can flash the patch provided by the CM team.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayydin:
What is wrong with the question I am asking and is skipped? I am appreciating all the successful seem existing advantages as extremely long battery life and performance but the most customization options is my personal best and most wanted thing. Sorry if it is far away from the expectations of all other people but I can't rail my own interests because of that. Anyway I will found out myself but I think it will be the second time I am doing this. That was the reason to ask.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pcoussa:
After 10hours of standby i only lost 3% pretty good i reckon
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bong0x00:
uninstall drivers, restart pc, reinstall and plug in ur phone
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bajong:
i also noticed that ^__^ anyway comparing this ROM with SlimBean for about 1 week, of used, slimbean is still best battery and speed, but this is a good ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
i skipped over the other question because it's been answered over 40 times already in this thread, and on my facebook page, and in my FAQ.

If I waste time answering qurstions which have alreay been answered, I wont have time to build new ROMs. Which would you prefer?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
NEW ROMS (clap clap clap)

The new zzmove governor is amazing for battery life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] invisiblebm:
0% lost in 6 hrs over night. wi-fi and mobile data on. No complain.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] soupratt:
4.5 is great. Battery brilliant.

Only issues so far

1) The way the time just randomly resets to +0 time zone when time zone set to automatic. A real issue if the time changes overnight as it screws around with alarm

2) The camera is very unstable especially when taking video. I have upgraded to the N4 version linked on this forum and it works much much better.

The other thing that is interesting with these ROMs is that some apps from the Playstore can be installed because it says they are not compatible with ? phone ? firmware. I have used a spoofing app to make the Play store think I am using a HTC phone rather than SG3 ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mohitdabbaail:
I was a fan of temasek's rom and thought that a battery drain of 1-2% /hour overnight was acceptable until I used your rom. There is almost no battery drain when the device is idle. ROM is very fast and I've never seen any lag. Battery life is AMAZING.

Thank you for this amazing ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayydin:
That's a good reason, thanks! I read 11 pages of 128 and there's a post about a mod that maybe will help. If the option is not available in the beginning :) that's not clear yet, but I am not asking I will found out somehow today. I am a bulgarian guy with turkish origin and nobody teach me English at school. We were served with Russian and Deutsch without custom possible choices. I learn English somehow myself because I love it and it is normal to understand hard. Sorry if you all understand me hard too.

Thanks for your great work Sentinel!

I was wondering: is the OTA Updater supposed to work? Because mine can't find this last update...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
OTA is no longer supported as the new version requires a full wipe.

done .. make a fresh install of 4.50 , turn ON Debug Usb .. and nothing work .. AGAIN :rolleyes: .. reload a backup of 4.40 and all work normally... maybe there is some option to turn ON/OFF in some menu ?

Can someone tell me which superuser this rom has? My freezes don't seem to occur since using SuperSU on Android HD so I'm a bit curious if the superuser on this rom causes the freezes. I would try it myself but I can't get past the setup screen on this rom

Superuser from clockworkmod :) if right because it looks like that

No.. it does not freeze.

Source : been using this rom more than 3 weeks. no freeze when using SU. and ofc no other freeze as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pyromatic18:
I used to use this ROM myself until I started having strange freezes and random reboots. I have tried installing stock which does not seems to give any freezes so far. Still trying different setups so I hope to come back to this ROM eventually. Could be kernel or superuser related I don't know yet.

According to me, now this rom is the BEST for i9300!!! Fast & smooth!! :D

so, what it's the aussie word for awsome!. Because that iswhat this Rom is. Upgraded to 4.5 on Friday and my battery is still on 40% (off course, very light use, but still). I Though I would leave my nexus 7 on stock, but with the results on the s3, i'll have to try it also
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
LOL!! The Aussie word for Awesome would be "Sweet-as".

I'm just waiting on final feedback from my beta testing team before releasing v4.50 for Nexus 7. You might want to wait until it's released because GPS doesn't work in v4.40 for Nexus 7.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
The ROM and kernel are optimised with linaro toolchain. if you mismatch, its understandable that problems will occur.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romskii:
Can you share the kernel as zip? Or is it better to reflash hole rom?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's best to just reflash. I don't want to share the kernel separately because I don't want to have to support it as a single entity.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slayersparty:
and even with a reflash, we have to wipe data (factory reset) and cache and dalvik ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
You shouldn't need to wipe data if youre reflashing the same ROM just to replace the kernel. but still wipe system and caches.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kentykentkent:
I can only see the option to enable the screen to stay awake whilst charging, I can't see the option to not turn on the screen when plugged in :(

Hi Sentinel,

I've been enjoying your Awesome rom, however I had noticed one bug with Bluetooth handsfree. My motorola handsfree can not read contact name from the phone. Earlier on Samsung ROM's, whenever a call comes it would tell the name of the caller (from my phonebook) but instead on this ROM it will tell the phone number. Its strange because when I first pair my phone with the handsfree it does ask for directory permission that if I would like to share my contacts and call log with the device. Can you please take a look ?

Regards,

How works gps for you guys?? Mine don't fix satellites... I use Faster Fix app and set my region, but nothing happened....:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mafioso:
You need to edit etc/gps.conf via root explorer and set the NTP server to your countries. It sometimes help to get faster fix than compared to setting a big region like asia or north america, etc

On a sidenote my GPS is perfect but i have my own custom gps.conf

Hi there,

Three weeks ago, I have installed this ROM because I was looking for something smooth and battery friendly. It went well but as I did not have much time to fine tune it, I restored the nandroid backup I had previously done before the switch.

The restore went well but the ROM progressively became completely unusable: a few freezes at the beginning and this morning it had reach a freeze every two minutes => reboot needed each time.

I thought the ROM had been corrupted during the restore so I tried this SentinelRom again but same behavior. I tried one more time to restore the nandroid backup but the phone crashes as many time as before.

Is there something I can do to solve this issue ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachilleas:
FasterGPS app does excactly that..

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Did you wipe before restoring/installing the Rom ?

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

I have no problems with fixing sattelites. It fixes 3-4 less satellites compared to stock Samsing Rom though.

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=en and tell us if the problem persists. Remeber to Reboot after you make any changes.

Yes, as I followed the steps written on the first post:

- I have copied SentinelROM zip on my extsdcard

- Booted into custom recovery then backed up the current ROM

- Booted again in custom recovery, did a Factory Reset / wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

- formated the System Partition (went into advanced parameters => format => system)

- Installed the ROM and then Install GAPPS package

Is there another kind of wipe ?

Try using the devil kernel with the rom, I had plenty of freezes myself until I did this however note that using devil kernel and this rom will lead to some crazy battery drain. Please report back if devil solves your issue, I'm a bit curious...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'll have a look at the default voltages for the next build in case that's what's causing these freezes.

At the moment I'm using stock CM values, so it would be interesting to know if anyone is experiencing the same freezing issues with CM nighties.
