Hi all. I have just installed sentinal v5. I notice the battery is draining very fast and the phone takes a long time to charge to 100%. Anyone facing the same issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidai:
Depends what you have enabled. Mine lasts for about 2 days. Check your battery stats. I'll bet it's your Google Services > Location settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Curst:
Awesome ROM! :)

I am looking forward to future releases. Speaking of which, will there be a final 4.3-based version? Unless no significant changes were made in CMs source in their final code and the one you used.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TechMennis:
Hey guys so this is day 1 for me with this ROM and I have some questions...

1)will there be a 4.4?

2)battery life is like 30% in 2 hours.... Are there some fixes?

3)can I change the app drawer icon to stock? Preferably 4.4 (I use the sentinel launcher)

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Curst:

Hello, first thank you very much for this rom . run like a charm on my s3. Just one problem some apps are not compatible with this version? Like barometer monitor ... It's seems it's related to the pressure sensor but it work in this rom .

Who'd like to beta test SentinelROM v6.00 (CM11 4.4.2) for me?

It's been a long time coming, but hopefully it's all working well.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
I would like to test :)

Altough my phone is for daily use.

How stable u think it is? (Phone, Wifi, GPS and HSDPA should work, els I can't test)

Can't do a lot of testing, but anything is better than nothing I guess ;)

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] take your time beta testing, there's no rush. Your Roms are always worth the wait.

If you haven't already got enough beta testers, I'm happy to help test.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Beta testing is underway. just waiting on some more info regarding battery life and I'll be good to launch
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Waiting for awesome rom :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Hey sentinel, do you espect a better battery life then v5 ? On the previous roms the battery life was epic ! But on v5 my battery drain was heavy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
As always, it really depends on how you use your phone. It should be jsut as good, but the Google Now Launcher is quite battery hungry in comparison to Trebuchet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Will you release the rom in a few hours or we have to wait a little bit ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricfenrir:
Testing

I'm late to the party, but if you need more testers I'm all in for it. Will be glad to provide info on battery life under varied circumstances.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] if you can say what you have to done or we have to wait long it will be nice, I check every 5 min. your thread.

The Rom is very awesome......... but which kernel you recommend for best battery life the kernel that comes with Rom or other kernel?

And its not updated to latest CM10.2 source (Android 4.3) its CM11 source :D

heloi.. i wanted to ask a few questions regarding the rom.

firstly is there halo on this rom.. then is the camera issue on the cm11 is fixed on this rom.. cuz camera is very laggy and buggy..??

so please anyone give a feedback or an answer to my jst two questions..??

Thanks and Regards,
[Galaxy S III Android Development] trib:
ROM is ultra fast, great job. I use it 3 days now and I noticed only two things :

- camera - Quality of photos and video is just fine but sometimes camera force stop problem occurs. I partially solved it with camera restart apk posted in this thread

- modem problem - sometimes I've got no sound during a call (using mk6) - looking for solution - Lockscreen sound enabled fix it for now

But overall Sentinel did his magic again :)

You mentioned the Google Now Launcher. What is that? The default Launcher, or the Launcher3 launcher?

The Google now launcher is"launcher" of you deeper all the way to the left screen the Google now page will appear.

I also have a question about bootanimations... I can't seem to be able to install a custom one because every time I do the animation is replaced by an android logo.... Is there a problem with me or a bug in the RoM? Thanks

Also, love the ROM, havnt run a single ROM other than yours the day I got my s3! Thanks and keep it up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajgftw:
I also have problems with call audio using this ROM. But I have also experienced the problem on other kitkat ROMs. So it may be more source related than anything Sentinel has done.

If you do find a solution please post back here.

I have tried swapping modems but that hasn't helped. So its definitely ROM related. If I swap back to a stock based ROM I don't have the problem.

Does anyone know of this problem exists in the cm11 nightlies?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TechMennis:
BUG- I Believe its a 4.4 bug but I now can't take photos with the stock camera app due to the message "can't connect to camera" does anyone have a fox? Clearing data and cache = no work

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
I have this bug too with whatever KitKat ROM I install. The only (temporary) solution without having to restart camera is to use this lib here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2505973 .

I use the lib v1.1 in CM11 even though it says omnirom in the name.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TechMennis:
Does anyone have any solutions to the boot animations problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
Dear Sentinel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
Also a question.

In the Camera app.... How do I change the storage location?

Now it stores at the phones internal SD. I want it to save the pictures at the external SD.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stevierayvaughan:
First new ROM I flashed in months, loving it!

Question about backing up and Titanium: Nearly every ROM thread I see has some warning about restoring from Titanium backup when installing a new ROM, so is it only useful to restore on the current ROM one has installed to keep using it? I just went through the Play Store and manually installed about 90 apps on Sentinel :silly:

Edit: First overnight using the ROM, woke up and battery had drained completely, phone off :( Have Better Battery Stats running so will charge up and monitor, but has that been the case for others??

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] In "Advanced Display" if I choose CyanogenMod Scenario the Modes don't work. With other ROMs instead I can get natural colors selecting CyanogenMod scenario and Natural Mode. Can you fix it please?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DozerD:
AFIK what should always work is placing the bootanimation.zip of your choice, named as such, in root/system directory /data/local.

If a bootanimation.zip is present here, it will be read first during boot procedure and override any original system bootanimation, wherever else it's placed.

Occasionally, after placing my own bootanimation.zip in /data/local, I've experienced that booting twice was necessary before 'my' file was run.

When you want the system bootanimation back, all you have to do is delete the one you put in place or just rename that to something other than bootanimation.zip.

Let us know if this works for you. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
bootanimation.zip goes in in System/Media
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DozerD:
True. But still it can be overridden with a second bootanimation.zip file placed in /data/local. Or is this no longer so?

I'm currently on Probam ROM and therefore can't be 100% sure if anything has changed for Sentinel ROM, but when I laat used Sentinel ROM a few months back it was as I describe here. Please confirm, or correct :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ycon:
Thanks for the rom- it's been pretty good. Love the 4.4 interface and very snappy.

These have been my issues:

- Browser issues- Always crashes on 'incognito' browsing. Sometimes generally crashes

- ASOP Camera crashes, and phone has to be reset to use the camera.

Is there a fast way to change brightness? The two stage process is a bit annoying for changing brightness on the run...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Camera is a general HAL camera issue accross ROMs. Use this lib here (I use the one named OmniRom, v1.1, but it doesn't matter) while it's not fixed by google or CM developers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elribatejano:
Hi to all,

i've been a fan of SentinelRom from the beginning.

I've an issue with batery drain, my battery doesn't last 16h.

I've reflash the ROM twice, and now i've sentinel rom without any gapps and still have battery drain to fast (and no programs install).

I use gsm 3g a lot and wi-fi.

In the older roms i've tested the same way and battery last 2 days.

Is there a kernel with better performance or what i'm doing wrong?

The camera issue i doens't have.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wertez:
I changed kernel too.

I.suggest you boeffla jernel with zzmove governor.

I also lowered the cpu voltage by 50mv and now i got a very good battery usage
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RickEphraims:
I had a great rom here but the sound during call was there sometimes and not other times.

It's Apparently a bug in kitkat roms. Will have to wait with 4.3 till voice bug is fixed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cypherinside:
With this rom my battery life is significantly improved compared to other rom. I think this ROM with its kernel (together) is the best compomise between smoothness, performances and battery optimization. With a normal usage (calls, data network, WiFi at home, browser, some game) my battery lasts for 17,30 hours (it means from the morning to the evening). It's acceptable. Try to set "Row I/O scheduler" and "Allow purging of assets" in Performance, use greenify and not use Google now launcher.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Saki3d:
Hi i am trying this rom

is there an way to undervolt cpu without flashing another kernel?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cypherinside:
You don't need... But if you want you can try to change governor (in "performance"). Anyway there's no way to UV with this kernel.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HellStorm666:
Update,

Using the v6.00 rom now since day-one.

Phone was okay.

Changed I/O scheduler to ROW and enabled Purging of assets in Memory management.

Phone got better.

Enabled ART.

Phone got at its best ^_^

Some apps (Pushover, aCar, Camera ZOOM FX, gReader, and so) won't work anymore.

But this is the fault of the apps, since they don't support ART jet.

And WiFi direct isnt working :(

But.....

And I know, there isn't mutch to improve in this rom...

It is so quiet here :-/

No updates, no news.

What's the matter?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hi mate. Thanks for the feedback.

It's quiet because I'm talking a break from development for a while. I've got lots of other commitments at the moment and I just don't have time to maintain the standard you've come to expect from SentinelROM.

CYANOGENMOD had also come a long way in the past year and so SentinelROM contains a lot less adjustments than it used to. Out of respect for their work I feel they should be getting the additional users and the credit they deserve for their hard work. Therefore my suggestion is that people who love SentinelROM move over to official CM nightlies if they want the latest and greatest.

I hope to be back in the future with some exciting stuff.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sixedup:
Understand the demands of the day job and a normal life. Will look forward to seeing your return in due course, but would really appreciate a quick list of what function we lose/gain by swapping to CM11, even if it's a point in time statement
