My GPS was wigging out yesterday (1.6 user). I've tightened up my screws in the past when having this same issue and that helped. Maybe I just need to do that again. Considering just Odin'ing back to stock and getting a replacement.

Got some pretty damn good battery life today w/ stock kernel. (at least for me, haven't had anything like this since...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roose00:
I reinstalled clean and immediately froze talkback. Went into recovery and flashed a kernel. Talkback did not activate or cause any problems. Not really helping out why it happened but at least problem is gone! Awesome Rom!

Not sure. I haven't been able to duplicate that one with a full clean wipe.(dalvik/cache/data/system). :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roose00:
Might also be another program that needs accessibility that caused some conflict? Light flow and tasker were probably installed and I know talkback has always been wonky with lightflow.

I'm the same way. I prefer the Samsung calendar. You have to still have Google calendar installed or the sync will error out. I just downloaded the one Google one on the play store instead of reflashing. Mine doesn't error out any more.

Andy, just noticed I have my files in my app list. I chose no file manager in aroma. Maybe there an error in aroma as to why it still installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Not true. I do NOT have the Google calendar installed, only the Samsung one. And in between reading your post and posting this one, I created an event from the PC and within seconds, it appeared on my Samsung calendar widget.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
Interesting. I guess I didn't actually try that method to check if it works.

What I noticed is that if you go to settings, Google account, there is a red ! Next to the calendar with an error message. So I guess I assumed it wasn't syncing. I know that is bad to assume....

Does yours show that red ! ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcm2a:
I used titanium to uninstall google calendar then I installed google calendar from the market. After syncing started working, without even a reboot. Loving the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
That's most likely just a temporary issue. I've seen the red arrow on the calendar entry, mail, and so on at some time or another.

Here are screenshots showing that I don't have Google Calendar installed and my sync menu.

I get a lot of FC using internet app. It doesn't bring up FC notification. It just locks up and closes. Any ideas. (2.0)

Got an answer in the Aroma thread and the feature / option is called "persistant state". One user posted this:

:eek: :eek: :eek: Does that mean anything to you ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yes it does. Aroma is so touchy though, can u send me the link to that post? Maybe I can see how he does it in the ROM that was mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
The lead developer answered, stating the "persistant" option. I then searched the thread for "persistant" and found this:

Any chance of getting the 'signal cluster' mod for aosp theme? Mentose457 made one for beans ROM awhile back, which was working on mb1. It's the mod that gets rid of that (IMHO) hideous 4g LTE icon and combines it with the signal indicator, like it is on aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
That sounds like it would be a great addition to the AOSP theme. Let me look into the MOD :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Hey sorry just saw this, not really sure what else to suggest but a clean wipe. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Just a heads up, the zip that I've been hanging onto from mentose works (it's made for beans b14). Here's a link to the thread I got it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39528704

Looks like he moved onto another device, but hopefully this helps.

So I'm all set up with 2.0. Been running root box (aosp) for awhile now, and this is quite refreshing. I feel like the new base runs a lot smoother than mb1 for me. Thanks for getting this ROM up to par with your mb1 based ROM so quick (along with the theme). Your an animal Andy. Small donation being sent your way

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Yeah andy your rom is crazy. Superior quality no bugs super stable. No battery drain what so ever. I am one that before yours had clean rom 5.5 and was scared to flash anything but so glad I did. I know that thanks are just that and donations would be better but dude I am so grateful for how much more awesome your rom made my phone. Took it from a 6 out the box to a borderline 11 on the scale a year later thanks a ton brother
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoTolerance:
I was having the issue, too. To fix it, I just used TB to wipe the calendar's data and also wiped the calendar storage data. It's been syncing fine since.

I'm going to try something similar to stop getting the notification about gapps force closing when I use Chrome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
Sweet! Thanks! That worked! Uninstalled Google calendar, wiped data on both you said and sync is good to go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SpyroDazee:
For anyone having the TW mms 1 hour bug, simply use the stock 1 hour fix apk from BoneStock 1.6 (yes, vrbmb1).

That fixed it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zir4:
Dude what's up with the battery it's hella good :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
I think I may be the only one that is struggling with the battery life lol. I installed this two days ago and I'm using the zerolemon extended battery. I'm dying way faster than I should be. I'm curious if I need to continue to let the rom settle in or if people have some ideas or trucks to improving the battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Format internal memory but backup important stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
That's it?? No kernel or turning certain things off. Wiping other thing's besides cache and dalvik cache? Wipe battery stats lol Idk just trying to do everything tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
I noticed a boost in battery life coming off an internal memory format and just figured I put my two cents

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Try all the above including a internal format
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Ok , so I tried with 2.0. My taskbar won't retain it's transparency, I can't edit my apps on multiwindow with the manager from the market. This is all too much for me. I must lay down. Haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blueb0x:
Let it settle. If you formatted everything in good (I did the same when flashing)

Zero lemon battery here too. Played music on phone for 8 hrs straight and about 2 hrs screen time. I'm sitting at 74%. Took me a charging cycle for things to settle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Its only transparent on the home screens. Delete cache on flashbarservice and reboot. Then you'll be able to edit apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
Sometimes you get a bad file left over on internal or external card. That can cause excessive media sync issues that drain the battery. If media is high on your battery list but you don't listen to music, that is generally the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
I remember reading something awhile back that if you add .nomedia in each file on your extended sd card it will cut back your media drain substantially. I did it and noticed a improvement. Don't know if it's a placebo or not.

Andy, sorry for being such a pest but I just can't help wondering if V2.1 is almost ready to be released? :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crjjr:
questions

Does the swipe to call work for anyone in favorites or recents? It's not for me, but it is from contacts, so I'm not sure if the ROM is working correctly or not. Like the ROM...hope the battery gets better as it dropped 40% in three hours this morning. I'm going to let it settle for a day or so to see what happens. New and good TW ROMs are getting hard to come by these days for my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
It's working for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog_12345:
I had the same problem a while back. I ended up backing up my data and then wiped everything and then reflashing. You can also try beginning the swipe from the middle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crjjr:
Thanks. I'll give the swipe from the middle a shot. If not, I'll reflash. I didn't format the internal card before flashing, so that may explain the battery issues I'm having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcodori:
Just got my SGS3 (handed down when the wife got her S4). I rooted today and unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP.

I have been following this thread for some time and plan to install 1.7 when it's done (since it doesn't seem productive to install 1.6 with a new one so close).

A few questions -

1. I have not installed the stock bootchain as some methods suggest. I simply flashed the route 66 pre-rooted (bmb1 version), used ez unlock, and goo manager to unlock and install twrp. Do I need to install the stock boot chain to flash bonestock? Not quite clear what that is anyway...Or can I just flash bonestock in recovery?

2. I like the ideas of trying the different lock screens offered in 1.6. I have never had a non-stock lock screen on my other phones I've rooted. Do the other lock screen offer a way to lock the screen, have a pattern to unlock and still be able to bypass this in order to answer a call? I know some lock screens make you swipe and enter the pin/pattern before you can answer. This is why I like the sense and TW lock screens - the ability to answer a call while locked. Do any of the lock screens in the aroma offer this feature (other than the stock one)?

Lastly - I'd like to thank you for the work you are putting in to this rom. Development is a thankless job and frustrating to comply with EVERY request that rolls in. Don't get discouraged by those asking for things you do plan on working on. I hope to go with a lean kernel (I had that with my thunderbolt) but I would not bother your with requests for kernel related issues.

Again, thank you for the hard work you are doing. You are one of the first rom developers I've come across who I feel the need to donate for your efforts. Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Sorry was short this morning. Next releases are being worked on but besides battery bar and lock screen MOD and a few requests there isn't anything to release and those MODs are tough to do without ROM control, there is no tutorial for the way I incorporated the MODs outside if ROM control, so they take time.

Sorry was also short on your question earlier as well. Technically yes the MOD can be done through Aroma but it would be an annoyance and cause me to have to edit the same file multiple times. Not too mention this is already on the to do list for the next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thank you very much hope you are enjoying the phone.

V1.7 is not close though, in fact at least 2-3 weeks away at the soonest.

The only lock screens included right now are stock and AOSP. You can use a pin/password if you choose.

Stock kernel is the only one supported

Just flash v1.6 ROM and you should be good to go, or v2.0. You can use the suggested firmware, its what I am going on, and suggest.

Hope to see you on the ROM :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoTolerance:
Well, I was unable to stop gapps from closing on me. Not sure what else to try besides another clean install. I'm trying to decide if it's enough of an annoyance to me to bother with as it only seems to happen when using Chrome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
No prob:) sounds good if your already working on it. If you get it to work, will we still be able to disable the regular battery icon so we don't have both?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea in Aroma I have the option for no battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcodori:
Just a quick followup - does the AOSP lockscreen with the pin/pattern enabled allow you to bypass the password to answer a call? That was a deal breaker when considering roms like CM - they do not allow the call to be answered until the pattern is entered (and you usually miss the call).

A pattern/pin is a must for me and being able to answer without putting in the pin (like on TW or sense) is the icing onthe cake.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
By that, you mean that *you* support, yes? Actually, you have a statement about not reporting anything if you're not using the stock kernel. ;)

To the poster asking, that doesn't mean other kernels don't work, it's just that this thread isn't where to get help if anything acts up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Works as it should on stock TW. no need for pin for incoming call. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mi9ke123:
Quick question: say I want to change something in aroma, like the transparency level of my status bar or something like that, how do I go about reflashing just to change that? Do I unchecked all the apps it asks or do I just recheck what I already have? Like, will it reinstall if I do that or delete them if I don't..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
Can't find flashbarservice anywhere :/

Edit: oops, didn't think to check com.sec.android.app...

Aroma will not delete anything, only install. So either uncheck everything or check only what you want installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
Here's my recent battery life... ALL of it was on LTE and I used it a lot towards the end. Probably the best day I've gotten out of this so far.

Before anyone asks, this was on the anthrax kernel since I got permission a few days ago. Yes it's that good and Google it if you want it.

However, if you are experiencing so-so battery life, search for greenify in the play store. Helps keep bad apps like Facebook at bay and REALLY helps with battery life. Also look into doing battery calibration, which I'll be doing after this post to see if I can get more accurate stats since obviously 70% screen time is way off. Definitely consider adding those as an app option Andy, could help those who are actually having bad battery life. So worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Lamest thing ever... I will never use that kernel just based on the fact that you must apply for it. There's obviously something wrong there...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
+1; also there is no need to enter a pin for CM or AOKP roms for incoming calls also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
I mean I disagree about the reasoning behind the signing up and all, but eh, it is what it is. Really with this rom, with the right settings, almost any TW kernel, even stock kernel can still get great results, as Andy and others have shown.

Not really trying to make it a point about the kernel, it's more about Greenify and Battery Calibration (probably should have been a little more clear on that ;)). Because, I experienced great life with stock and Zeus, especially with Greenify enabled. While the kernel I have on now helps with performance and all, Greenify has really kept the battery life together. Before my phone wasn't sleeping and was draining rather faster than I would have liked. I was getting 15 hours with 2.5-3 hours of screen time before with Zeus without Greenify, not bad! But once I enabled Greenify, I instantly gained 4-7 hours of more battery life. Trying out battery calibration to get a few things fixed with the stats, been a problem since Zeus was installed and figured this might help get it back in order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I got ya and always good to get as much info as possible. I just don't agree with the policy of that kernel. Even if it promised me 100% better battery on my already fantastic stock kernel battery, I would never put my name on a waiting list to be approved. That goes against everything that is open source. Just 1 man's opinion, but thanks for the info. Always good to see other's usage details... :thumbup:

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
No need to wipe anything either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
What is greenify? I may need to get permission to use it in ROM, not sure, I think I can just use with credit if it's free on the play store

Yea I would prob use it if I didn't have to sign up to get it.

But then again stock gives me amazing battery life, easily 3-5 hours screen on time and plenty fast, do not 100% sure if I'd change from this, nothing had yet, but I also haven't given any a true try..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Flashbar is what controls the multi window so it is tied to settings.apk as it has the toggle, flashbar .apk should be found in system/app. I had to edit this .apk for all multi window apps to be enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
If anything I would just charge a small fee. A wait list for a kernel? I don't wait on line at 6 flags. I'm not waiting for approval. And I too have only used stock, but I know there are other good ones and it's always great to have choices. But I easily get over a day with stock and close to 5-6 hours screen. You will never hear me complain coming from the tbolt fiasco. Lol

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Haha funny thing about that tbolt. I put down the $50 to pre-order it, I went back and got my money back when they were delayed because I felt 4.3 was too big a screen size. (Lol) and ended up getting the incredible2 instead, which I loved, (my Lil bro just got rid of his when my dad gave him his gs3 when he got gs4)

The incredible2 ended up being one of my all time favorite phones, still had SkyRaider but had great battery life. (I am on WiFi 95% of the time so 4g I didn't care about) I did end up with an inc4 and arezound which I hated. I still have my inc4, all my other old phones are sold. The inc4 is BNIB, I was donated a test phone to test root with the ppl getting it for us, so I tested with my phone and since it never bricked I was able to keep the donated one in the box and since the phone is worth all of maybe 80$ I consider it useless lol. I did have the HTC DNA but I hated that and sold it for this phone which turned out to be one the best decisions I ever made, coming from 6 previous HTC phones Samsung phones (at the time) seemed real cheap but I loved the feel of it so with the push of a buddy praising the SG3 I swapped within my 15 days.

I was so confused and not happy at first. Wasn't sure what this Odin thing was all about, and the having to backup IMEI and fix the Samsung backup had me unsure. But this phone has been just as solid as all my previous HTC phones but without the added weight. I would be on the HTC one had it came rather the DNA. Thanks HTC :)

Only reason I got the tbolt was for the 32gb sdcard. It was supposed to be the iphone killer. Mine sat on the charger 19 hours a day. Saddest part is it just got ics update like a nonth ago. I gave it to my brother when I got my s3. He destroyed that phone in like a month. I think the only phone that was worse expectation wise is the blackberry. Their phones continuously just fall flat...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Does anyone else monitor their battery temperature?

What is the highest you will let yours get? Once mine gets near 41 celcius I will shut the screen off and let it cool but I'm yet to hit that on this phone (I don't game).

Browsing I find it gets to about 37 degrees tops for me, just curious what everyone else is getting.

I also went back to v1.6 as I don't like multi window and wanted the long press back to kill button back.

I personally can't tell a difference in terms of stability or speed they both seem identical, has anyone else had a different conclusion?

Thank you guys for your feedback, it really helps me out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonesj8:
Highest I've let mine get is close to 130° f. But being infected it goes to deep sleep so quickly it drops temp quickly. Only reason it got that warm was from flashing over and over then restoring apps

From my peak at the OP it is a VR-theme which means it does not change files, just edits existing ones. I suggest doing a nandroid and giving it a go, I would be surprised if it doesn't work.

Yea bro there was soooo many complaints about that phone, I really lucked out not liking it, lol. I thought that kick stand should have been left on bikes and away from a phone. I would have never used it, and if I really wanted a kick stand is buy a case with one built in for the .0001% I'd use it :)

That phone made me mentally retarded I swear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Come to think about it mine did hit about 45 celcius on AOSP ROM setup, but 130 Fahrenheit is pretty high, around 53 celcius I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Since I don't overclock, it never occurred to me to monitor temperatures.

I have gotten my old phone (Thunderbolt) so hot from Navigation, GPS, and tethering (plugged in, of course and it couldn't charge, just kept the battery level steady as it was draining at same rate as charging!!) that you couldn't touch the back !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Actually are you trying this on v2.0?

It may only be good for v1.6 base

Edit: on second look either v1.6 or v2.0 should work.

I only do to keep note between v2.0 and v1.6, but now it just seems like it should a standard. I found a nice widget called none other than "battery widget" :).

Please refrain from talking about the kernel. The mods & admins here don't like us infected defending it when people talk trash (which is allowed) & explaining the whole ordeal.

If you knew the story behind the kernel & xda, you would know why it's closed source (regardless of the "spirit of open source", which is used to kanged mostly)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
For those who don't know whether to use v2.0 or v1.6.

If you use multi window or just want v to use VRBMD3 than use v2.0.

If you don't give a crap about multi window like myself v than use v1.6.

I have found the only difference is that v1.6 gives me a little bit better battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
From the little I did read I do agree with his closed sourced policy.

I just wish someone would email me the damn kernel, though.
