Just installed - which kernel do people suggest to give the best battery life for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I HIGHLY suggest the stock kernel. I personally get 5 hours screen-on time with stock battery/stock kernel. ROM is very smooth on it as well

It's the only one I will include in this ROM, and really the only one I can support..

When other kernels start getting used, and random reboots and things like that start happening, there isn't anything I can do as I didn't make the kernel, and the problem isn't happening on the stock kernel. I hope this makes sense.

I can support problems if you are using another kernel, but only to an extent. If you are on a custom kernel and say, the brightness slider won't remove, that's an error on my end, and nothing to do with kernel, but like a random reboot, please don't ask for support on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lynneddington:
Stick with stock kernel.

Sweet! Baked in would be great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yessir, v1.5 will include Viper audio mod/ and none to Aroma

I do NOT plan to add:

Acid

Beats

Megabass
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chubbrock:
Just how it should be! Awesome dev, awesome ROM, awesome community! We all have different issues so this is the best way to troubleshoot, solve and fix them!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lynneddington:
This is first full charge on 1.4, stock kernel. Light use.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Force stop the Media in that list and ur battery would be even better.

Andy do u know where I could get my hands on the stock kernel? I'd like to have it just in case.

FWIW Lean kernel is running great for me under clocked and under volted. My battery life is unreal and the features from LK really make this rom look and feel even better. I have never run another kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Hit my first bug just now. Was composing a tweet with Tweakdeck and my device locked up. Was able to toggle my screen on/off and pull down the statusbar but could not access anything (text cursor was flashing awaiting input). Had to pull the battery.

Lean kernal is great but I just switched to using zues V5, set up like the post says and I'm getting insane battery life. I'll post some screen shots in a day or two when this gets really settled. Well that is unless 1.5 comes first and I flash... it's an addiction, I know it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
here ya go, this flashable.zip should work

http://d-h.st/8Hq

sorry to hear this, can anyone else confirm this issue?

can't imagine why it wouldn't work..

I'll download the .apk and see if I also get the problem :(

EDIT: I can't find "tweekdeck" or Tweakdeck" on the market

I did however download the stock Twitter .apk and was able to compose a tweet fine..

Thank you all so much for using the ROM and being so helpful and supportive! I can't express how much this means to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
I know there are apps (at least last I knew they were still on the play store) that let you record your phone calls.....and I am aware of the legalities of call recording.....but at least for me, having that option built in would make this rom 110% perfect. I know older versions of cleanrom had that feature but probably was removed for legal issues.....any chance we could get a mod to enable call recording or should I just look for a good ap to do it? (every so often it would be nice to have my wife's conversations recorded lol...thankfully she can't record mine lol). Regarding the previously mentioned louder bass on this rom....it appears to have been my car's audio system (I have an aux in port) not the rom/phone....someone turned the bass up so I believe that was the issue earlier.

I believe the app is called tweetdeck in the aforementioned post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
ahh thank you for this information, Sir.

unfortunately, call recording is no longer able to be done since we got upgraded to 4.1.2, I wish I knew why, but many great Devs such at Team Synergy said it's just not possible anymore :(

but apps from market do work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yess glad to see I'm not the only one!! In fact 1.2 seemed normal. I'm running 1.3 an thought there was increased based. Not sure if I was going crazy or what. I use Bluetooth audio in my car. Google music. I have selected stock audio as well.

I'll give the zip Andy posted a try after work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yea dude, tweetdeck is working just fine :confused:

I downloaded TweekDark, the black one, signed into twitter, composed a tweet, played around with the .apk, not really sure why you're having issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Unfortunately you are now the only one :D

the ROM isn't the problem, I can promise you that, I confirmed the libs are literally identical to cleanrom.

as the other guy said, it was his car that was changed, so I'm going to have to say the same now that I confirmed the libs are correct, honsetly the only way that it can get louder is by choosing the volume boost in Aroma, OR outside environment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Yeah really only mean performance as in not lagging so much. About to flash and play with it some. AOKP is just lagging bad and battery hog.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
So are we still waiting on the fixed 1.4 to upload?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I think you will be surprised how fluid this ROM is with stock kernel..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Good Question,

waiting? no.. if you are waiting to remove the brightness slider with 7 toggles thats what the add-on is for ;)

it is uploading.. yes.

there isn't really much changed

you don't have to download the ROM. but you can. the only thing changed was small in Aroma installer.

unless you want 7 toggles and no brightness slider, you will be good holding off :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Haha alright. Well I flashed your stock libs so we'll see. I figured it wasn't the ROM but maybe I could find out what was wrong for him. I'll check my car settings as well. Thanks dude. ROM is running amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thanks brother!

if the .zip does work..

then it means you chose a louder volume boost in Aroma ;)

all I did was pull the stock one from Aroma for the .zip

but like the other guy found out it wasn't the ROM, was an outside environmental factor.

appreciate your feedback, Sir

hope to hear that all is well soon :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emarietta:
I always followed you on the rezound so I gave this one a try. So far really good. Good work sir, appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that :cool:

I missed HTC A LOT at first, but I've really grown to LOVE my SG3 and especially the people associated with it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
What is the flashable zip for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
TokedUp asked for the stock kernel.

it *should* work..

I included the stock lib/modules and the stock boot.img in a flashable.zip format the same way that kt747 made his
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ty07allstar:
I used 5 toggles and when I flashed the aosp clock fix it made the toggles look like the stock tw toggles instead of the aosp looking ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
ohhhh, man that's cool :cool:

thanks for finding this, quick fix, wish you said this before I went re-downloading and re-flashing every .zip lol no worries though my dude :cool:

I'll have new links up very soon that will fix this and the trans status bar .pngs, so if you don't mind redownloadig in a little bit that'll be fixed

to everyone

I'm also going to be re-uploading all of the add-on .zips with some much better status bar transparency .pngs for 25/50/75% transparent. 100% is obviously still full transparency. Hopefully these work better for you guys, let me know! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Is there a way to move the toggles to different positions like have blue tooth last and mobile data first and so on,?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yes Sir, absolutely, you can hide them as well.

go into the app drawer and open "AnvanceS"

the rest will speak for itself :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
TY Sir always there quickly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Andy; could you look into adding a modded camera .apk with the low battery crap disabled, and volume rocker/power button as shutter? It's used on MOAR and a few others (I think hyperdrive has it too). Not sure how much work goes into the mod, or maybe they wouldn't mind sharing. Just upgraded to 1.4 from 1.2 btw... I flashed before my 4 day vacation and come back to 2 more updates :thumbup:. You're a beast my friend. Thanks for such a solid ROM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Low battery notifications are annoying. They need to be squashed completely.

iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoTolerance:
Your ROM is the only ROM I've run for more than a few hours, so I'm coming off stock rooted and deodexed.

I first noticed the issue with v1.2 I think? But it's definitely the GPU rendering that's the culprit. If I disable that, I'm fine. Adjusting the animation speeds didn't help any.

So I really don't think there's anything you can do about this particular issue.

As for the Exchange hack you mentioned: the only one that comes to mind is the one that removes security. I don't personally need that mod, as we're running an older version of Exchange, so it doesn't come into play for me.

If you do add it, maybe make it a selectable choice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
It's not so much the version of Exchange as much as the policies set on Exchange. Personally, since I'm partially in charge of our Exchange server, I dislike the hack. If I set controls on the server, I want them enforced. (Granted, we don't currently enforce anything, so it's a moot point.)

I haven't used the stock mail app for Exchange since I first got my OG Droid, so I have no idea if it has gotten any better or not, but I would recommend looking at some of the alternatives on Play. I personally use Touchdown.

So, I just got a message saying my SD card is damaged, but I didn't think it was. So I booted to recovery and sure enough, its fine. I decide I'll wipe cache and dalvik and should fix it. Didn't work. About to try fixing permissions to see if that works. If not what can I do? I know it's fine.

Edit: that didn't work either.... Don't know what to do. I mean, I can backup to comp and reformat, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Ya never know could be damaged, but I would back up the cars then wipe it clean and re format it.

All links are new guys. I made better .PNG images for the transparent status bar please try them out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Nice bro! Lookin real good :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Absolutely my friend, I want to try coding it into the systemui.apk instead of having to use an application
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
The link I gave was for the version you can compile into the settings menu. There is a link at the top of the first post for the app version, but it goes on to include the smali for the bar and for the menu item in the settings menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea I'll def use that if I can't code it straight into the ROM I think didact74 did it but I may be mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
That happened to me earlier today as well. I ended up taking it out of the phone and plugging it in to my laptop for backup. Once it was finished I plugged it back in and turned my phone back on and it started working again. Hopefully it didn't die on you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
I was wondering if you could make the ongoing WiFi connection drop down notification an Aroma option? I'm not a big fan of it, but it is really handy at work to see which SSID my phone has latched onto and switch if wanted.

Or if someone knows a widget or something that tells you your SSID and launches WiFi settings or something?

you know I like messin with ya :)

but yea brain fart on me,.. I know what you're asking now.

for 4.1.1 we have the Samsung crappy pinch to zoom

for 4.1.2 we got the AOSP stylee

you are thinking of Synergy ROM - they are still running a 4.1.1 based SystemUI.apk. so I offered the newer one for the AOSP Synergy Theme.

This ROM however has the AOSP two finger pull down and is honestly a joy to use compared to what Samsung destroyed, lol.

I have used the stock mail app for exchange since I got my DINC. I have had zero issues with it until JB update; that is when the flickering started. However, disabling GPU rendering has always solved the issue.

Thank you for your feedback, Sir.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog_12345:
Hi all. Andy first off thank you for the killer ROM and awesome support. I am running into a problem with gapps force closing. It seems to be related to when I log into an app (example Dropbox, Outlook, etc.). Not sure if it is just me. I did a full wipe and restored with Go Backup Pro. I wonder if my restored apps is causing the problem or if there is a bug somewhere.

Thanks again. It means a lot to have such an awesome dev helping us non devs out.

Edit: added a picture of error after logging into skydrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoTolerance:
In fairness, there are some shortcomings with the stock mail app and Exchange, but nothing that makes me want to spend money on a replacement app or deal with the other annoyances caused by some of the free ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
After installing the AOSP theme, the alarm clock widget no longer works. It just appears black after plopping it onto the homescreen. Is there any way get this working again while using the AOSP theme?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
hey bro sorry to hear this :(

however, I downloaded dropbox after I saw your post and everything is running gravy for me, so I'm going to have to say it's not the ROM, but I'd like to have someone else test to confirm that it's working for them as well.

I'm not sure what to do to help fix it for you though as I'm not getting this error

I wish I even had some ideas as to what to do to try and fix it..:confused:

Only thing I can think of is possibly completely deleting the Google play store and ill give you a flashable.zip for it,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
no I'm very sorry this is a bug that has eluded me for the AOSP theme.

make sure to fully remove hangouts first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog_12345:
Thanks. It seems to not be just isolated with Dropbox. Anything that requires a login throws the error. Maybe a reinstall of the ROM will correct it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yea that sounds like a problem going on with the Google play store, I tried skydrive as well and was working fine :confused:

unless others start having this problem I think doing a fresh install would help a lot :)

My drop box is good too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
DropBox, SkyDrive, Box, and Google Drive are all working fine for me both on stock and after I flashed to AOSP Theme. All of my other apps that require a log in also work without an issue. I had a similar problem the one of the google services on another ROM (it's been quite a while so I don't remember which one) that seemed to be a result of reloading the apps from My Backup. When I reinstalled and let the apps reload from the Play Store everything worked again. I no longer use My Backup but rather TiBu Pro. I usually only restore app data for certain apps with TiBu but I have restored apps that way at times and don't seem to have problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thank you guys kindly for the feedback this is very helpful. I think the problem also lies within the way the apps are installed. I also install all mine from the play store (they actually install automatically for me when I punch in my gmail during the setup) I really appreciate you guys testing for me.

What's strange though is that I have used Astro to restore my .apks as I do have them backed up and also had no problems. Very strange wish I knew what to do to help get him his play store back working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
If anyone wants to use the SG4 Task Manager, the one I found online didn't work, which is why it wasn't included into v1.4, but I was searching the play store and if you just search "s4 task" you'll find the free and donate version. I have only used the free version, but it works great. I will include it in with the other sg4 .apk options into Aroma for v1.5 if I can get it to install right this go around

If you are already using an SG3 Task Manager shortcut you will need to delete this (it will be found in data/app) do NOT delete JobManager.apk from system/app

if you don't have any shortcut already installed then you can just install the sg4 one from the play store.

You will now have a shortcut to the task manager in the app drawer, and it updates it to sg4, and has some new cool features. No more having to long press the home button

This is the quietest I think this thread has been since it's been opened.

I could look into it though :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Considering uploading v1.5 here shortly.

I just added in the option for long press to kill for disable, so it's now

back/menu/disable

would like to get your guys input, is this worth an update?

I also added some simple build.prop tweaks to speed things up. not much but you should notice it being a bit smoother and faster all around.

can't really think of anything else to add or change
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Honestly I was a little thrown off when I saw 1.4 go up. I just wanted the AOSP theme but since it had been updated too I had to start anew! I always clean flash when I update heh.

Things are running great! But yeah I dunno its up to you. If it were me I'd wait til you have more features/fixes than just that before putting out a new version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah man, I'd say it's worth it. If I read correctly, 1.4 was pretty much just an update for TW MMS. I'm still running 1.3, but would another update. I'd like to test out your new tweaks :) Plus you can then get more input on how the tweaks run for the future larger updates.

Could you add S4 Svoice version? Any S4 app if possible really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thanks bro, yea I'm going to update to v1.5

sg4 s-voice was added in v1.4, + accuweather, myfiles, broswer, and gallery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
with v1.5 you can just flash the ROM.zip and make sure to UN-CHECK reboot, and JUST wipe cache/dalvik and you are good to go ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
oops lol But anyway, looking forward to 1.5. I have off tomorrow so I'll be up for awhile. Though I know it does take awhile so we'll see lol
