Nova and Apex are probably the two most popular launchers for Android 4.0+ devices right now. Both offer a wealth of features, and are much more flexible than Trebuchet. Me, I'm using Nova. Good stuff. I even upgraded to the Prime version, which unlocks more goodies. :)

Give a try to Buzz Launcher, you can customize the launcher at your pleasure.

Has anyone noticed things going on with storage? I'm having issues with loading a picture to send to someone it defaults to the /0/emulated folder and says it is an "invalid file" when I manually go into the right folder not in emulated it sends fine.

My titanium backup defaulted to the /0/emulated folder and wouldn't back up anything had to manually change it. Maybe I'm just noticing things but it's slowly getting under my skin.

Am I missing something¿ File structure change for 4.3?

Clean install after full wipe blah blah blah.

Thanx for all ur hard work

Quantum has been my daily driver ever since I discovered it.,think around v4? I can't wait for a Lollipop release! I didn't think it could get any better then you released KittyKat. I have been checking in weekly for a new release. I truly appreciate all your hard work.

Saving up to get my Sabertooth 990fx board fixed, a coup. I few bad/broken traces. I want to try some Droid cooking... I bet you have a killer setup.

Well your wishes are about to come true... there's an S3 kernel going into the process of finalization now. It's up to date with all CM 12.1 stuff.

You can see progress on it here- https://github.com/tommytarts/QuantumKernelS3/tree/Lollipop-5.1.1

And to answer your question, it's nothing special. i7-3770 from a stock Dell computer. I did add an SSD or 2 in, and upgraded the video card to a GTX 680 2 years ago for a sweet 80 bucks. Thanks to everyone here I actually was able to get a new case with some nice cheap fans, the heat from the stock Dell was insane and was literally frying my GPU and making it crank up to 110 degrees Celcius sometimes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
And we're back!

Fully compatible with the latest CM nightly, I tested camera via snapchat, and a few various other things. Go at it and let me know.

Since I don't use the S3 really, I need to know the following things:

- Fluidity and responsiveness compared to stock and other kernels

- battery life

- Any other random things you deem worthy.

Here ya go...

Whenever you flash new kernel it takes quite long at boot animation to optimize apps. So i guess it isn't a bootloop, so give it sometime and it surely gonna boot past the animation.

Glad everyone is enjoying this sweet little return. I will definitely be updating this much more often than I used to, and as a matter of fact there's already a new commit ready to be merged in.

I've been using lightweight schedulers on the S3 now, ZEN, SIO, NOOP, or Deadline, along with the straight stock interactive that's there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Welcome back. :) Are you considering coming out with a Quantum-fied custom Lollipop ROM based on CM12 (or LiquidSmooth or whatever), or are you just sticking to kernels? I wouldn't blame you one bit if you stuck to kernels, quite frankly; chasing ROMs is a lot of work. Although I'm staying with Carbon-KitKat on my HTC for now, I've loaded LiquidSmooth-LP onto my SGS3 and am playing around with it, now that CM12's "teething pains" seem to be going away. (I know I keep harping on this, but is there any chance you'd consider making a M8 Quantum kernel for AOSP at some point? I'd be much more inclined to eventually move to Lollipop on my M8 if you did...)

Just flashed the 5/28 kernel. Interesting default settings, I have to say. Performance governor with row by default? What is the reasoning behind that? I'd think that'd be murder on the battery.

I noticed that multicore power saving is set to 2 by default as well.

Everything seems to be running great so far, though. I'm just curious as to why these settings were made the default.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
I've noticed that switching on Battery Saver mode in CM12.1 sets the governor to Conservative, according to Trickster Mod.

But when turning Battery Saver off, the governor doesn't switch back to whatever it was set to previously. It remains on Conservative. I've checked back several minutes later and still no change.

Running the latest kernel with a recent nightly of CM12.1.

Best I could do for JellyBelly

DKP May 15-2015 working for me. It was a nightmare just to get a custom kernel working period on 4.3., I tried about 7 versions of QuantumKernel & some other flavors too.

I recently downgraded, because of radio issues on upgrading. I derped & left factory on, which Lollipop doesn't like. Constantly *****ing about rmnet as well. I am still affected by the great "Thailand flood". Every damn drive i have is dead or dying all of the sudden. Which sux 4 me, cause I can't get my EFS Pro, QPST, etc working from a live distro. Been "flash swapping" for a month. Been reading up on BlackBlaze reviews, before I buy some more replacements. Feeling cursed as I still have not got my board repaired either. I just bought a Inspiron 3520 for $40,to hold me over, and its drive died too! I must say Heimdall (Odin substitute) works flawlessly from a live Linux Distro!

Should you find the correct Quantum kernel for 4.3, please let me know. I am still lurking about waiting on the Quantum-Pop. Thought I read it was based upon Carbon(yay) and released. Thats what I am up ro currently. Wandering is the Lollipop version 5.3 or Version 6 or what?

Saying goodbye to "Stock CM".....

Way 2 Go! Glad to see your fortunes increase. Guess its a small repayment for all the good karma you give on xda! I truly appreciate all your hard work, considering you have a real life and little time for all this. This is the best news I have had all month!:victory: Will stay on the forums looking for the release.

Will you also be bumping the version up to say 6 and start the decimals over? May I suggest a Nick/Code/Release Name for the new Quantum> Quantum-Pop...ROM? ;)

*****---

I was reading in your HTC thread about exFAt issues... I would be willing to live without exfat until you can fixit.. Thats odd I came across that as I just recently formatted a old 16GB Sandisk (2exfat) in nandroid for your new release.

I am using Philz Touch 4.84.4,which reads and writes to exfat and everything else I have, with DKP kernel. I was thinking, if needed, one could flash a kernel with exFAT support, reboot into recovery & access exFAT volume. Optional install QuantumKernel or a recommendation of a temporary kernel?

Keep up the great work! Yes I know I need a new phone... Considering a Z2... A disclaimer with the kernel should suffice and make a great many if us happy. I can be a Guinea pig if you need me to.

Any place to download the 4.4.4 ROM?

Sent from my XDA Free mobile app
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
Just installed Quantum 5.2 (4.4.4 with the 7-25-14 PA GAPPS) and, after disabling ROMdB to prevent screen waking, I got 5hr23min screen on time and no issues with usage. Camera works like a dream, too, with all the old features we used to enjoy.

LP really F'd up Android on this device. No way I'm going back - there are no features in the LP builds of any ROM that warrant giving up that much battery life and buttery smoothness, but there are tons of bugs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] youssefkr:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Where did you download the 4.4.4 ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
It's just out of the box settings, Ad Away, the SystemUpdateService wakelock fix that's floating around for 4.4.4, and that's it. I tested with WIFI turned off, too, to see if the LTE battery drain I get on LP was the same. LP really messed everything up, but I'm glad I could use Quantum 5.2 (Android 4.4.4) on the NJ1 bootloader + modem combo. I wasn't sure if that was going to work, but it totes did.

I still had it on my backup drive, but the link in the OP still works for Quantum 5.2 - http://d-h.st/sV2. That's the exact same filesize as what I have.

With proper ad-blockers (uBlock Origin and Ghostery on Chrome on Linux), I don't have that problem. Like, at all. It downloads the full 185,000KB file for me. I think you're clicking the wrong download button that is devhost's adware.

Question : When Lollipop Build rolls around, will there be a bootloader requirement?? I have no issues with any KitKat, especially Quantum. I am a "crack flashing ho", so I cannot resist...

I was told for proper functionality of baseband & wifi(12.1&+),I must be on 4.3+ bootloader (Nxx builds). I am truly surprised there is no open or neutered bootloader yet. I don't like anything to do with Knox, they should have made 2 editions of it home&enterprise. Besides me suspecting its Spyware, I don't want a Gatekeeper telling me what i can & can't do and that I voided my warranty, which I am well aware of.

I would appreciate some intelligent thoughts on this device even making it to the next year or so. Im getting ready to put it up for a backup. I just want Lollipop at the least. Its dramatic looking back... ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Where did you find the fix?

I've downloaded the 4.4.4 ROM and the phone won't sleep, but stays awake with the systemupdateservice wakelock as the culprit. I turned off "keep awake" in Google play store, and "keep awake" in Google play services, but the phone never sleeps. Is there another step I'm missing?

Used quantum 5 from the verizon galaxy SIII thread ... gps works. installed final 4.4.4 kernel.. gps still works. Install quantum 5.2... gps doesn't work. Never finds any sats. GPS tile also gets stuck.

Actually on further examination... 4.4.4 final is what broke it. I flash back 7/1 kernel and I have GPS again. Even on 5.2. i will try the slightly older 9/8 that is still 6MB and update.

9/8 seems to work. dunno if battery life will be as amazing. I'll use it for a few days and see. .5MB diff is a huge amount.

This may be a bit off-topic, but I thought I'd post. Thanks to [MENTION=1683096]PwnCakes193[/MENTION] for developing an awesomely stable kernel. I've been using this kernel since its infancy, but I stopped updating it about 2 years ago for some reason.

Just recently my S3 powers off/reboots constantly due to the infamous power button issue, so I'll have to retire the ol' faithful S3. Thanks for the years of service OP. Hope to see you in the OnePlus forums.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Wow, just to even see that is a real throw back. I remember exactly what I was doing when I was making that first Kitkat build too... time really does fly. In a year and a half a lot has changed and I wouldn't change any of it.

I really do want to thank everyone here for the whole experience. I'll probably never have an experience like the one that we all shared here 2 and a half years ago.

I have the Virtual machines finally set up, everything is ready to go and work has died down a tiny bit, though I'm still pushing 50-60 hours a week. I'll be updating the Lollipop kernel and also working on getting a Marshmallow kernel out as well. For those who want a successor I'll probably be doing something with my new 6P, but that's still a little bit away.

You all are truly the best.
