The only thing that I always had is a delay to open gallery..but I thing is normal cause all the roms I tested and is always the same..

Hello Orange!

Just tried your rom yesterday. Was kinda laggy during the first day of usage. After which it settled down slightly, but the battery drain issue was pretty intense, and the phone was also hot.

I'm trying out your test kernel, hope it helps too. Any idea how I can track what's causing the drain?

Btw thanks for the cool rom too :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
Taking a Screenshot like this was always a bit hard.. I remember it took lots of attempts until it worked on my S1 too :D I suggest you to swipe over the screen with your whole hand. This works perfectly :)

The test kernel should help you with lags! Install better battery stats and observe your battery for one day with it. If you see something which is causing a high drain, but you don't know what it is post a Screenshot and I'll help you ;)

Test kernel is still performing well... Still silky smooth with no lags and no system hangs like I was getting with the last test kernel

Scrolling in Tapatalk, Falcon Pro and Facebook have become a little more jerky than it was after first installing it, but it's nothing I can't live with/ignore :)

You talk about xperia keyboard?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
Only thing left that i notice, is that it runs a bit hot (which also mean batt usage). Other than that, all fine! Using the test kernel from OTA.

For keyboard i recommend SwiftKey from appstore.

Do you have a link? :)

Install the test kernel I posted. For keyboard lag read #2!

I'd recommend SwiftKey too ;)

Mine runs cool with a good battery usage. Maybe you have an app running which drains a bit..

Facebook is working fine for me :) I'm using it a lot and no freeze!

You may try the test kernel and see if the freez is gone!

i meant like in cm10.1. the screen turn fade in when press power button.i dont have any tutorial about it.

but nevermind if bothering you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TiagoDiazz:
Well, just wanted to report that I did the full wipe including formatting my External SD

Installed version 2.6 and then let the system settle down for a day, and then I rebooted the phone.

The battery drain was gone, but system kept laggin alot, even to type some message with samsung keyboard was laggin.

and then I flashed this new test kernel. everything seems smooth, no more launcher lag nor system lag.

The only thing I noticed was that any music player the sound start to cut now and then... While I was with the screen on, I Saw the time this issue happens I see the notification bar show that the headphone was plugged in, even though i didn't plug it off.. thought it might be my headphone.. so i replaced with new ones, and still the problem exist.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
And i had full about 09:00, now when it's evening (19:00) I have 30%, and i have NOT called, NO sms, only check facebook. GPS off, wifi offf, no apps is draining.

Batterystats show that top 2 is Screen and Android OS (As it should be).. So, my battery will last max 1 day (without calls, spotify etc). But! I will not judge it allready.. will let it run for a few days, perhaps it will start behave later on.

my 4.1.2 was like you said, charged it 2-3 times a week, and used it a lot. Hopefully this will get to that point when it's seatlled a bit. If not, I have to find out what's causing it. No obvious drain anyway.. hm..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
Please explain it more detailed..

I don't understand what you mean :D

Let it settle.. For me battery is similar to 4.1 :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
Thanx for suggestion but what about the system settings which delay to open as i requested many time
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TiagoDiazz:
lol, sry I can't even understand myself in that one,

I meant...

When I'm listening to music trough headphones, there was sometime the sound starts to Struggle, like cutting the sound for a while, and then the music keeps playing normally.

There was a time, when this issue started to happen i was with the screen on, and i saw the notification bar showing

"headphones connected" and then the icon dissapears, and then again it shows again "headphones connected" and disappears again.

The notification bar maintained this way the whole time this way, while the sound issue was happening. and suddenly the heaphone Icon disappear along with the issue.

The whole issue always remain for about 1~2 min top.

And then the music plays normally until it happen again.

I think i made myself clearer this time. lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
For me the settings are opening fast.. So no idea how to fix it :/

Mhhm maybe it's a player bug..? I'm using spotify and it's fine for me!

I'd recommend you to use viper :D It makes your sound much better! And btw it's under 10 MB both combined! I won't make them optional, if you don't want them please delete them manually..

PS without Mega Bass Beats your sound wouldn't be half that good! The rom includes its binarys which enhance the sound even withou EQ Settings in awesome beats app ;)

I'm still expirience a heavy lag. Even after a clean flash and flashing your test_kernel.zip.

Maybe I should go back to v2.5.

I dont't think that a logcat log may help you with that.

Another thing: how can I take a screenshot? Vol- & Power doesn't work for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TiagoDiazz:
1 - I use stock player and Power AMP.

2 - i don't use any of the addons

About the keyboard lag issue, i already did what #2 post says, I got only Portuguese and English(US) enabled.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

About the lag issue I got rid of that by formatting everything ! include my Ext-SD, I even used MEGA WIPE , full charged rebooted, installed the test-kernel, rebooted again and now i seems to work pretty good.

Have you tried "Home button + Power button" to take the screenshot?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max4000:
Thank you, that works!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
Please try the kernel from the OTA App :) Then everything should be fine again..

I got one question...

Has someone noticed as soon as you get to lockscreen when you turn on your phone it vibrates ?

though there is no notification why it did vibrate.

I'm just curious what would that be
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
I guess it's because when I first installed the viper driver, then played some music and adjusted the settings in viper, there was no effect on the music played, maybe something I missed, I would definitely consider using it, if it truly does a good job.

As for memory usage, please see attached :
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ginzo:

Rom: 4.2.2 Nightmare 2.6 by orangerot.

Kernel: stock

Operator: Tim
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Great website..really love it. As soon as possible I'll try to make a donation.

Did you see my post about putting a separated installation option on aroma to change the Modem? I think is a great thing to the already awesome rom.

I used to use the Crdroid rom..have you seen it? If not I think you could try it and get some ideias on the aroma installation.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
I guess you can turn it off in the settings. For me nothing vibrates!

Did you select the correct driver(A9/15 with Neon) and enabled FC Compatible mode in its settings?

Whatever app you're using it tells you crap!! The applications never ever consume so much.. Awesome Beats consumes 3,1 MB and Viper 3,7. That makes 6,8 in total and it's very light weight :)

Believe me.. Those 2 apps don't consume ~80 MB of RAM.. Throw that app from your phone, it's showing bulls***t

Thanks :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)

What do you mean by putting the modem installation seperated into the Aroma ? Oo
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Sorry. What I mean is..to put an option in Aroma just to change the modem. For example Im using MC2 and if I wanted to change it I'd have to reinstall the entire rom correct?

I mentioned the Crdroid rom because it has this kind of options...

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Never had this issue..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
Ah okay.. But for me it's non-sense to put such an option into the ROM. But I can seperate the Modem-Flasher and add it to the OTA app ;) I guess that's the better solution!

Maybe I get some time for it tomorrow.. If not I can do it on monday!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HC4Life:

one question please. What is with the actual security patches for our S3. Is it your rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Still having problems with music stuttering, if the phone goes to sleep it does it as before, but now, if I'm loading a website or if I'm installing an app from the play store it stutters and creates huge lag in the device

Will provide logs tomorrow as I'm shattered and about to fall asleep but just wanted to plant this here for you to think on :)

For info, I'm using poweramp and I've got awesome beats and viper enabled (sounds amazing by the way)

Incidentally, in os monitor, awesome beats reports size in memory as 41.1mb (3.3mb) and viper is reported as 40.3mb (5.4mb)

What's the two sizes for? Is it one for the active app when in use and one for the background process?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mr. Despair:
Just a thing aside. The disappearing and reappearing of the headphone icon is a known bug of the leaked 4.2.2. version. Discussed it allready in two other roms. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dx09:
I installed the rom using both twrp and cwm but after installation the phone is lagging too much..

P.S- I did a clean install

I got the solution :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tiagovale2:
Which is?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dx09:
Disabled languages in the keyboard and installed old kernel from ota
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
What patches do you mean? If you post a link I'll include them of course :)

I'm not completely sure what this monitor tells you. But it might be that that huge size is for the foreground process. While in background it's definitely something about 4 MB ;) so no worries about the ram usage of the apps!

Why you're getting a Music stutter I can't exactly tell you. I'm using spotify and it always plays smooth, even when playing a game or browsing the web, tapatalk or installing stuff from the play store.

Maybe poweramp just uses lots of ram, making the device stuttering.. I can change the min free values once again for you later. Maybe this will help :)

Did you try the kernel from the ota app?

I'm never getting that sound. There's something wrong. Please make a full wipe and see if it's gone.

To solve your lag read one post above mine ;)

orangerot: lol at me.. :) Remeber I was having problem with CRT to fast? Well, I tried my fav theme for 4.1.2, and that worked fine, no problems as I could see, however, I gave a 4.2.2 theme a go - and guess what, CRT animates normal again.. :eek: I really really wonder how that is possible. I've done some themeing and also made a rom before, and I can not understand what in theme that can mess with CRT effect..

And to all! Some dude gave me a tip, about a theme, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165980

It looks great, black and glass, very eye-candy. For ppl who like that. Themes included in this rom is much more clean, and this one I'm linking to is more eyecandy. However it works fine with the rom.

It all comes down to taste, same like using OpenBox or KDE :D

Slowly this is all comming together. Now we need 3 things, an offical release so we can have some custom kernels, hope gharrington start dev his framework for 4.2.2 a bit more, and a happy rom dev that improves the rom :cowboy:

Question, is there a way in the rom to change the cpu speed? Mine runs to often in 1400MHz, causes heat and battery usage for no reason, would be better to have it a bit lower.

I have very good deep sleep, so nothing wrong with that. It just runs a max speed when not needed.. or how to explain in my crappy english :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Yes [MENTION=4429355]orangerot.[/MENTION], I tried the test kernel and the one from the ota... the one from the ota ifs definitely better, but still has issues

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
Down to 46% after 9hrs, and most of them is tonight when i was sleeping. No calls, no music, almost nothing. This Will give me a standby of less than 1 Day :o

Must be solved... I can't have a charger everywhere..

Edit: now, like a few minutes later, 40% :( bad, bad...

Edit 2: CPU-Z says that it's running at 1400hz on all cores, with 60% cpu load. All i have running is the cpu-z app, besides vartious BG tasks ofc.

Bu still, with this tempo is seems like using the phone for real, would last for a few hours, not even close to a day.

And no, no, and no again, no apps is draining! It's something else. The phone's apps is identical to my 4.1.2 setup, and it lasted for days.

Ah, no we're at 38%.. 46% -> 38% in 5 minutes.. *yey* .. I used xda app , but well, almost 10% batt for uploading a pic? Don't feel correct either..

Need som assistance here. Something in build.prop that is way to high set? Or..

[MENTION=1907858]OrangeRot[/MENTION]: I would like to ask something, I would like to try a full stock kernel with no tweaks in speed, scripts etc. Just to try to pin-point were the problem is. Worth a shot.

A summary: Go to bed 00:20: 100% batt. 06:20 when I woke up, down to 66%, and now 1.5 hour later, 37% !! And I've not even used the phone.. just checked facebook and xda. But no calls etc.. this is bad. .. very bad..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
Update. Energy save mode solves The battery issue. Guess its because it limiterad The cpu. But, first time i need to som that.

Dear orangerot, would be Great If we can choose gouvenor. The problem will be solved when (or if) we get custom kernels.

But overall, like the rom now when everything is solved. Looking forward to 2.7 :)

Oh, 4.3,i didn't know that. Wonder when it's released, or leaked :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ginzo:
At the moment we are speaking about a rumor.. So there is nothing official… I am disappointed if there will not be an official 4.2.2 release as we will have to wait till November at least to have 4.3… Maybe there will be for sure some leak 4.3 but anything official so the devs will continue to work to leak roms and it will be difficult to have a good kernel :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
Okay I'll try something later :) maybe this will solve it.

There's an app to disable the media scanner... Don't know its name.

And to your cpu problem. The cpu only jumps up to the next frequency step if loaded to 90%.. If it's running in 1,4 GHz all the time there's definitely something keeping your system alive(and we're talking about an app!)

Same with your overnight drain. Mine is to 99% in deep sleep over the night (only wakes up for my syncs)..

So it must be a problem of your setup!

Adding governors is not possible. It has to be done in kernel source (which are not available)

Well it's a rumor from some Indian site I never heard before. They may tell whatever just to get attention..

I'll believe it as soon as Sam mobile confirms it ;)
