I don't want this to sound like a complaint about battery life, because it's not. I'm getting really good battery life, but my stats are a little weird.

I can't figure out what to do with Android Os. I have better battery stats and nothing strange is showing up under kernel or partial wakelocks. Are the stock battery stats just wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tiernan22:
What kernel are you running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mletchworth:
Whatever came packaged with the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tiernan22:
It looks like one of the OS packages is keeping your cpu constantly running. I'd be curious to take a look at your wakelocks and processes. Wakelock detector is a fairly nice app for digging a little deeper into those categories.

Great!!! After spending several minutes trying to update the bootloader with no success (What a total pain in the arse.)

Any suggestions? Is there a list of modded kernels for the i747?

UPDATE!!! Never mind forgot the Kernels were in the ORIGINAL DEV Thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
either search this thread for the MJ2 insecure kernel or try kt747 by ktoonsez (in my sig)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
yep used kt!

Big fat thank you button press for you sir!

What annoys me the most is when an app is running a search or db query and before it's almost done, the screen times out. Happens to me quite frequently with ES file explorer when I'm searching for a file. Now I have to always remember to increase the display time out before start any app that does not require touch interaction while is running stuff in the background. Some apps have setting to remain in the foreground, but most don't. If there's is an update in the pipeline...Please bring back the screen time out toggle.

I loaded phone info app and found my phone has bootloader I747UCALH9... anything I need to do or just leave it alone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Yes, exactly!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
You can leave it at that if you ain't going to install CM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
no CM at this time....i hate the dialer... wish there was a TW style dialer for CM...else I might take me S4 to nexus edition of rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Searching to see if any other developers have had time to work on this, I found an app that will help a lot that was suggested.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nbondarchuk.android.keepscn

Also there hasn't been any progress on a toggle yet. I'm either doing that or I'm going to keep long pressing screen rotation to do it before I use apps it does this in. On another note I'd love to see a battery tile
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Ahh... I didn't know about long pressing screen rotation. That helps, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Well I worded that poorly it brings up the display settings menu but it works.

To add a toggle will take a lot of work. Somebody would have to create the resources for it because samsung felt it wasn't needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Understood. To get to Display settings, I used to long press the screen brightness toggle or the screen timeout toggle both of which have been retired. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] inspired55:
There"s a bunch of free apps in the play store that will allow you to keep the screen from timing out with just a touch of a button.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
I have no issues updating it so thanks for the reply but, how the heck do I get it on the phone, I have downloaded the .zip and it fails under twrp...so where the heck do I get the md5 odin file?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] inspired55:
Do you have the latest version of twrp, I've heard if you not running the latest version some problems can accure flashing the bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
That's a good question because I flashed the MJ2 bootloader from the OP with the latest version of TWRP (2.6.3.1) and had ZERO problems, thankfully.

What model phone do you have? Zip was meant to fail if it doesn't match one of the previous bootloaders for your device. All to help you not brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Try a different camera and see if the problem is still present. I am using the Note 3 camera with zero problems, thankfully!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
Yes, I know... but none are as elegant and convenient as the time out toggle. I'm currently using a widget that does exactly what you say, but I have to leave the app, go to the specific home page where the widget exists and press it. Then I need to get back to the app. With the toggle all I had to do was swipe down, press the toggle and swipe up to get back to the app.

I've been using this toggle on almost every Android release and cooked ROM since the S1 (Captivate), but it appears that Samsung made some changes that makes it difficult for the ROM cooks to add it back. I'm just voicing my wish for it not to be forgotten if updates are made to the ROM. Given that it's not an easy task, I also understand that it might not be in future releases of S3Rx if any are forthcoming.

ohhhh good point...will check that.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radtech777:
For the people complaining about the screen timing out on you while waiting for a file to download, have you tried the smart stay feature? That works really well for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
This is a good idea, however I have found it does not work with me as I have glasses. Awesome feature for the people who aren't visually impaired, but for me, the screen goes off all the time since it can't detect my eyes behind my glasses. People I hand my phone to that don't wear glasses, works a charm, but not ones with them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] inspired55:
where are you getting the info lh9 because maybe this is your modem and not the bootloader and as eman said the zip is made to fail so as not to brick your phone you might already have the mjb bootloader on your phone. in the op there is the mjb modem that's what you might need to get everything working right for you.. just a thought
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
Increase the screen timeout and press the power button when you are done?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
got that info from phone info app from app store. So far everything is now working fine with TK kernel but wanted to make sure this phone is at its peek. I already have the MJB modem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
In that case, it sounds like you now have everything you need. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
I try not to use the power button too much since we all know Samsung has a major flaw with their button design and it getting sticky. I have gone thru 3 Samsung devices in the last year (2 of which didn't have the physical home button, the skyrocket) and have absolutely fallen in love with my S3, so I will be with this phone for as long as it lets me, so using the power button is not an option. I myself do not have any problem with touching the screen before the screen timeout at 30 seconds, just wanted to clarify that the smart stay feature is not for everyone. :D

One thing thats been annoying me for a little while now is multi window. All apps aren't truly enabled and the only ones that are were the stock ones. I use multi window manager (free from play store) anyway and it does a much better job with this. Theres a pro version for $1.25 thats worth every penny but in the free version you can still change to a dark theme and enable all the apps you want in multi window.

I see some things stay the same from 4.1.2 :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
1. Why are there more fonts in \system\fonts than appear in Settings> My Device> Display> Font style?

2. Is it possible to extract the "sansational" font from S3Rx 2.2 and inject it into 3.0? If so, how?

Oh **** really nice man I'll have to take a chance thanks man

So I have the rom open in and this where Im at \mods\mms\tw\app and I see the sms apk file im deleting it and replacing it with that s4 sms apk and repacking it after and reflashing the rom all over again

I believe my phone use to vibrate when I pressed the Back button and when I long pressed the Home button on S3Rx 2.2. Is there any way to restore that functionality in 3.0?

Hahaha damn it I just finished setting my phone.

I got AOSP MMS working. Thanks to losers tutorial for showing me how to fix up secTelephonyProvider to have the correct APNs (Which I pulled from the latest Quantum). Also thank you to old and slow from the verizon forum for what I used as a base. I had to use his framework2.jar also because I couldn't seem to get mine to recompile. Probably should of pulled some different files from an older cm, but after 3 hours fighting this jar to compile I had enough and wanted to test out my SecTelephonyProvider.

I may just make one for sprint and for tmobile also to save some other people the time.

You can swap out the MMS app with any that you find in the forums or any that you pull from a rom. I'm not entirely sure what the newest ones that wouldn't cause force closes are but I guess its up to trial and error now.

And yes this means that you can send and recieve MMS and the group messaging features should work. Tested and its working like a charm. Who knows this might work on tmobile and canadian carriers but if it doesn't just let me know and I will see what I can do.

And I'd like to thank amiblindyet for the actual app I'm using. :good:

Edit: pulled the link for now. Think I figured out why I couldn't rebuild the right file and I'm going to fix it quick.

Still not getting it. I'll try again later. Adding it back. It hasn't appeared to cause any issues for me so far so good.

Edit: Posting the new version completely sourced from ATT roms. Its from S3Rx and Cm10.2 Stable that came out this month. Should be no issues at all.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
Another point to be made regarding the power button and smart stay (I also wear glasses) is that for some functions that will take the phone a longer time than the default time-out you're not necessarily holding the phone in your hand. When I start a search or a process that is going to take a long time, I place the phone on my desk while I continue working on my laptop. Once the process is done... I pick up the phone to look at the results. In other words, if I start a search that takes longer than 30 seconds to display its results I do not want to be interacting with the phone or looking at the screen (wasting time) until it has finished performing that task.

Btw, I'm not complaining about the existing functionality of this ROM... I'm just pointing out that a feature that existed in the past, that I found very helpful and convenient, is not longer there and wish that it was.

Dude, thank you for putting in the time to make our beloved AOSP MMS functional again!!! :victory:

I am looking forward to testing it later tonight.

Attached is a very customizable mms.apk (4.2) that allows you to change the colors, backgrounds, fonts, etc. and it's full of features. Once I flash your zip, should it be possible to swap in this mms.apk (unless you used the same one) without any problems? Previously, I was able to send/receive SMS and receive MMS only. Sending MMS was the perpetual problem I was not able to resolve.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
This is exactly what I fixed with the sectelephonyprovider apk. It lacked our apns for the new modem in any of them you flashed before. Yea I learned a lot reading your posts then trying for myself. Then it came together reading loserskaters tutorial which made it obvious to me this was the issue since everything else worked fine.

Glad I could give back a little bit and yes that mms apk should work. Let me know if it does and I would make it the one in the zip. Also link me to where you got it if possible. :good:

The issue some are having is with the auto sms to mms conversion. I disabled it so sms will send in one long message instead of breaking up into smaller messages or converting into an mms message.

From this thread: AT&T Official 4.3 MJB. You could install "upndwn4par" ROM with CWM or TWRP and get real close to stock. You would also need a stock recovery. I found one that is flashable via ODIN for ATT, but I have not tested it myself since I have the canadian S3.

Flash ROM and try the different messaging options in AROMA especially the default Touchwiz app.

- If you are unable to send/receive long SMS/MMS without issue, pick one of the options below; otherwise, STOP and enjoy your phone!

For a problem-free S4 stock Touchwiz experience, flash this - (talkingmonkeys)

I don't remember having this volume issue on S3Rx 2.2. I think it was introduced by Android 4.3 due to the Google Now enhancements.
