Ah. File it under desktop. I think its a lot more related to ssd installations by lowering write times to 0 or as close as you can to extend the life of your ssd. Does anyone here need or ever use zRAM let alone swap space? I remember using swap on the captivate having 512MB ram lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks for the update on schedulers I might check out Zen. What governor are you folks using? Also does anyone else enable KVM and purging of assets? Seems to make a noticeable difference, could be placebo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drivel2787:
I love the new build. Just don't understand why my phone doesn't like this Rom. Random reboots, launcher disappears, status bar disappears same as I've always experienced. Battery life isn't that good for my. I'm using greenify for apps. Before flashing the newest build I was on avatar 4.4 and the battery life was phenomenal. Best battery life I've seen on 4.4 so far but my camera didn't work.

I did a clean flash. I've Odin to stock and flashed again. No matter what I get the same things on quantum.

What boot loader is everyone on that's not experiencing these?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm on the I747UCUEMJB and don't have any of those issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Related mostly to HDD because of slow random reads/writes, but yeah it could be useful for SSD to extend the life. All in all though I keep my SSDs for around 3 years before swapping them, and at the price they are currently for a decent boot drive (120gb for $100 for something decent) it's not really worth risking it. I just got a OCZ Agility 2 fail on me less than a month ago after giving it to my SO.

zRAM and swap space are getting less and less love as devices get more and more ram. I'd imagine in a case where you use apps taking a lot of RAM but somehow not too taxing on the CPU you could need it, but that's a far fetched case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drivel2787:
I'm on that boot loader as well...

What gapps are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
lk3 bootloader /mjb modem

no problems here. perhaps my initial f/c with the Google dialer is that I am using an older dialer. Ill reflash the newest tonight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
True, ZRAM is becoming less meaningful, but the I/O scheduler on our devices still affect alot. FIOPS give much better performance than ROW but due to battery hit I keep it at ROW.

Where do you buy your SSDs from?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SkyboneNoya:
Nice, Yeah I've had a OCZ Agility 4 for over a year now. Just got Ubuntu onto it recently. Lol that's where the info came from. I have to admit, I'm a newegg fan! got my 128gb ssd for 75$ with shipping + tax. I want one of those Samsung 840 pro's! Just have to keep an eye out and subscribe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Finally flashed the newest update this morning. I had some issues with my capacitative buttons but 2 reboots fixed that. Otherwise, its super buttery! :D I also really like the updated boot animation with the bigger circles and with correct colors.

Need some help

Been running the quantum v2 for about 2 weeks now. Not sure the source of this problem but I've never had it before. Out of the blue my twitter updates that come through my SMS stopped. tried every solution that popped up on google to resolve to no avail. Day before yesterday I tried to use the AT&T short codes ( check data, minutes, upgrade status ) the system tells me the number cannot be completed as dialed. After trying to send the restart code to twitter I got a warning from SIM toolkit that this may incur charges to my phone and asks if I want to continue sending the message. Any help with this would be appreciated. This has never happened before using this ROM and it won't keep me from continuing to use it I just would like to fix this issue.

android phone process has stopped ok?

other than that I am getting no glitches, f/c or hiccups (I think that is the technical term)

I can live with the one message on boot. any thoughts on why it is just me?

Try wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and flash the bootloader and modem again. Then flash ROM and gapps. Then wipe cache right after. (;

I never flashed bootloader/modem no. I just flashed the 8.14.2-d2att.zip after wiping caches/data/davlik etc. and the installed gapps... What am I missing here?? I'm headed to bed because I have to be up early... Right now I'm getting 2 bars... Maybe that's what it is on CM10.2 and I'm just used to Samsung's stock OS... I'll use it throughout the day tomorrow and report back on how it's going, hopefully I dont need to flash anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tdpeek3:

Can someone enlighten me, what specific (if any) features this CM10.2 build provides with stability/power, which other highly stable 4.2.2 existing ROMS dont give. Reason for asking, I am so tempted to flash this and give it a try.

I havent flashed/rebooted my phone for for almost 2 weeks. That's pretty long duration for me, as I usually flash new ROM, every other day.

Now my fingers are itching and stumbled upon this page. Any pointers ???

You're don't awesome work.

Just about to flash the preview.

I'll tell you one thing I flashed the 8.14 with the BMS kernel when you released it and was blown away. I also have to admit that I thought Faux Sound was a placebo all this time after trying acid mod for a while and noticing zero difference. Boy what a difference that makes. Hopefully we can get Faux Sound support back so I can keep updating lol.

NCIX.com. I'm Canadian, and canadian newegg just isn't there yet. The beauty with NCIX, aside from having VIP accounts for bigger customers (although not as good as ASI or Ingram for bulk importing) is that it offers price matching. See it cheaper somewhere else? Get it for that price or as cheap as possibly available. NCIX service is stellar too.

Just got a Sammy 840 Pro here to replace a Kingston SSDNow 300 I got for 90$ I think. Don't buy Kingston, I'm tired of their terrible PR fake benchmarks + crappy end user support. Their SSD firmwares are sub par, and it shows. Turns out the SSDNow I bought a while ago and the one I got have different firmwares and they bench completely different. Like the new one is half the old one, on the same machine, with a 1:1 clone of the SSD... The Sammy is great though, first time buying and happily surprised. Will probably end up buying more from them if they keep up this type of quality.

Been running it all day. Here's some observations. Battery lasts longer then 3.15. It also charges faster. Animations, apps, and browser(Chrome) are snappier. I still can't get my AT&T VVM to work, but that may be a carrier issue. One new thing. My boot animations app, which worked with 3.15, stopped working.

What is another way of getting a different contact setup kind of dont like the aosp contact apk if you will. Like how you have to go about adding contacts, is google dialer what im looking for I have seen that mentioned alot.

Ok so I went to Pa Gapps page, a I see the google dialer and went into the download area to get the zips but I see zip and md5 links ??????? I know you need zips but what about the md5
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TimeAndroid:
Are you superhuman? Because your awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
md5 files are hash files to check your download integrity afterward. The content of the md5 will match the md5 hash of the file you downloaded and that's how you know nothing is corrupted.

You don't need to download it unless you intended on checking the integrity yourself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PlayingPoise:
Okay, about a day in with the new build, not any major problems. Chrome Beta forced closed on me every time I tried to open it, but that might have just been an update.

Best rom ever Q v3.21

Been using Q since Kitkat, This one is the only one that auto connects to wifi, This one is the only one I was able to install Viper4 android. This is the only rom ever that lets my camera save to sd and works perfectly with picasa to download. Who needs S4 ? I love my S3 with this ROM. Thanks PWN
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SkyboneNoya:
Only problems I see are on booting up. It froze in the google boot animation once. Hard reboot and it reset twice then booted. Seems like something that's been there since the start. This rom is gravy!

Edit: Tried new kernel, it fixes the cpu and gpu, was kinda off on the other kernel. Seems to idle a lot quicker and gpu when set to 300Mhz is nice to see dropping to 128Mhz. All about the battery on my end!

A couple of app observations :

1.) TMZ app FC's frequently to the point it's unusable.

2.) MyFitnessPal's built in bar code scanner functionality (via camera of course) will not recognize any bar codes.

So happy the option to save pics to SD card is there !!!

Thanks for all your efforts.

I've noticed this with the barcode scanner in the Walmart app for a while now (have to hunt down an actual scanner at the store now :()

Barcode Scanner usually works well, although it didn't a couple days ago until I rebooted.

I'm guessing there are still some growing pains with the camera or the apps aren't keeping up with 4.4.2... (just thought "Hurst Olds" as I was typing that version number... :D)

Thanks for the suggestion - the BT issues were driving me nuts - it would not connect/reconnect properly. I found a pattern; however! When I listen to the music via BT and then turn the car off, it would not reconnect the next time I start it. However, if I turn my (car) music player off prior to shutting the car down (or switch to Radio), it would reconnect 90% of the time the next time I start the car. Anyway, the BT problems persits in 3.15 and 3.21.

I have installed the BMS Kernel from 12/9/2013 as was suggested (not sure if the newer one is better) and have no issue with Bluetooth connectivity at all!

Do this:

When you arrive home, disconnect your bluetooth device in your phone. Don't turn off bluetooth before doing this. Then you can either turn off bluetooth or turn off your car. Almost guaranteed to connect next time, but obviously it's gonna be manually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
May work, but for me it's much easier to just touch the reconnect on the radio...either way it's a pain after not having to do anything on the older ROMs...but that's what leading edge does, eh??:silly:

Random bit for you guys... thought someone might be interested.

I have a strange mmc2_detect wakelock happening on my device sometimes. Thought it might have been a bad block, but how do you check bad blocks on Android?

Ima tell you! With your always lovely fsck!

You'll need a working adb setup and your trusty computer (do you still use it?)

-Boot to recovery

-Unmount all partitions

From computer:

-adb shell

-cat etc/fstab (so you can see your partition mount points!)

-e2fsck -fv dev/block/mmcblk0p## (where ## is the number of the partition you want to check, I recommend doing them all one after the other)

(if you have bad blocks, fsck will ask you to fix them, you'll have to press Y)

-????

-PROFIT!!!!

Turns out I had 2 lil bad blocks on /data/ aka dev/block/mmcblk0p15. That is all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] friedsonjm:
Would I like to see an app for that...!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
The big issue with that would be unmounting all the partitions. Can't be done while you're in Android itself. :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Any difference between mmc2_detect and mmc1_detect?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
I would imagine mmc1 to refer to the SD rather than the internal memory. Or vice versa, depending on the phone. mmc only stands for multimediacard, so it's not exactly explicit without context.
