Thanks for the post.

I did it twice and it is still the same.

Wipe everything from CWM recovery doesn't wipe that. only if I install a new ROM from ODIN or use another recovery app.

I read a thread here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274218) that gave me some info about this problem.

There is a small problem that when you take back up from Cwm Recovery it goes to /data/media and not in /data/media/0 that is supposed to.

I really don't have a clue about what is going on. I also don't know what will happen if I want to restore a back up....

Check out for yourself into your S3 and you will understand what I am saying.
[Galaxy S III General] mrmrmrmr:
will you share it ? :)

btw, would that also help with the battery consumption ?
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
make a flashable .zip backup then try booting without it? of make a folder on your sdcard and copy all the files to it then delete the folder, if you face any problems use aroma file manager to put them back.
[Galaxy S III General] Beharii:
Sorry if this has been posted many times, just wanna be sure before I do another mistake.

I installed this ROM using CWM recovery, now I can't log on to the network, I went through some threads including this one and I understand that you uploaded BGUUGMJ3 to fix it.

My question is how should I do that, probably extreme noobish question but I'm kinda desperate here.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

Would it be safe to just flash jb 4.1.2 over it since my modem hasn't been changed?
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
not with battery consumption, a few build.prop tweaks, ram management and my init.d scripts..

my aggression script isnt ready yet, ive got a few more things to add and yes i will share!

Hey, thank you for these links to Modem files.

I want to install XXEMG4 (EFS V2) and my questions are:

Can I use Odin and put the modem.bin in the PHONE tab?

Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy S III General] Gorgtech:
You don´t need any init.d tweaks to reach these scores at all. Check Vellamo since Antutu and Quadrant are not reliable at all :good:
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Nope, these packages need CWM to flash them, impossible in ODIN.

To flash it through odin you need to find that modems in .tar.md5 format, otherwise don't attempt. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Xaninha:
Er... I beg to difer... I just installed the modem.bin with Odin. =)

No issues at all.
[Galaxy S III General] Beharii:
Would installing the V1 modem from cwm fix my connection issue?
[Galaxy S III General] JMS74:
Just one question.

If i chose "format sd card" in CWM Touch Philz does it format only the internal SDCard? Or also formats my external SDCard?
[Galaxy S III General] AthlonGFX:
Usually internal. But take out your ext just incase

guys whats ur android OS battery usage? mines around 40% trying to figure whats causing this, any ideas? i did use rom cleaner so much of the bloat are removed

----------------------------

edit

i thinks its "always scan for wifi networks even when wifi is off" option

----------------------------

edit 2

confirmed! Android OS back to 6%
[Galaxy S III General] forty two:
The battery problem persists. Expenditure: about 10% per hour. The phone won't even charge on weaker (non original) chargers, but stays on the same charge.

EDIT: Always allow scanning is turned OFF.

I applied the init.d from ricky310711, and that solved the lag on the wake-up when I press the power button, but nothing else. The performance is quite snappy.

EDIT: Lag only solved when not in deep sleep!

Also, another problem: Samsung Hub closes and says "Mandatory parameter Not found (1101)". Not a big concern, since I don't use it often, but anyway...

[Galaxy S III General] depecheguevara:
Somewhere I dont remember now I've read something like "once you've corrupt your efs folder 1to v2 you cant restore it even with the back up, that's why we need something like ariza patch"

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

well, after deep sleep the problem occured again.

I might be doing something wrong.

Should I apply some permissions on the init.d script ?
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Don't ....

Honestly guys don't upgrade to 4.3 leaked or 4.3 official (Ireland / Swiss)....

totally not worth it...

buggy as hell...

and only released for Gear support...

so disappointed with Samsung...

moreover downgrading to 4.1.2 stock was such a bumper...

i lost my IMEI (showing generic IMEI 0049***) and my phone is now at the service center....

rewriting IMEI onto the phone is costing me US$ 35 approx...

I was on MG4 modem while on 4.1.2 i believe...

i'm still sort of lost as to when my EFS got corrupted...

most likely when i downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2...

upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.3 stock was fine.... as in no change in IMEI...

im guessing when i do get my phone back.... it will be on 4.1.2 stock and I should first make EFS backup? How? And when can i then use to restore this EFS backup? Only when downgrading from 4.3 in the future?
[Galaxy S III General] KillerbeeNL:
so after all the warnings here you did not make a backup of EFS before manual flash the 4.3 version?

To bad this mistake cost you some money and phoneless hours.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Never came across this thead....

Didn't see this thread before flashing to 4.3 ...

and didn't come across it later as well after endless hours of searching on XDA & Google...

guess it was meant to be...!!!!

Oh btw... did i mention i miss my S3 ;)
[Galaxy S III General] KillerbeeNL:
i hope you treat you S3 better than before

:):beer:
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
I will ..

and Samsung should to with proper stable updates..

stock 4.3 Ireland starts up in German with CSC VD2 (and not VDI) as mentioned on Sammobile...

did you notice?

(wondering)
[Galaxy S III General] KillerbeeNL:
true , i think its an official leak :)

to bad it needs some tweaks and bloat freeing but this rom can only get better :D
[Galaxy S III General] Trevis72:
problem

the awakening of the phone with the power button and the home button does not wake the phone immediately, it takes up to 2-3 seconds, then the light effect function does not work. Battery consumption is worse than other non-official rom, best hope with official kernel released by samsung

[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
as JJegan said, yanks kernel only at the moment, also note you need to become a member to download.
[Galaxy S III General] adamsuail:
The first upgrade was bumpy but I got some tips from other folks here and now I'm in love with this rom.

I used some startup script from Ricky to fix the unlock delay and everything else was already perfect
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
aggression V2 will be out soon

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

it doesnt have anything to do woth the script, the deepsleep has to do with lines in the build .prop.

remove the lines containing these

pm.sleep_mode=

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=

also your battery could become more drained...
[Galaxy S III General] Kickasskev:
My build prop doesnt have those two quote lines?

And the lag is terrible
[Galaxy S III General] forty two:
I also applied the init.d script, but battery expenditure is still at about 10% per hour. :(

The wake issue is a bit better.
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Instead of "magical" init.d scripts try out the newest, first 4.3 stable kernel from [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION], seems pretty amazing work:

Hi I just flashed this yesterday and I noticed my WiFi keeps on disconnecting

I came from slimbean 4.3.1 with xxemb5 modem

I flashed gmj3 modem before flashing this ROM do you think it's because of the modem?

If not any ideas on what it could be
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Dude, what's the problem to proove your theory about modem by flashing another one, for example XXEMG4(it's efs V2 too, you won't loose IMEI). :good:

Here you are, flashable .zip with it:

XXEMG4.zip
[Galaxy S III General] android addicts:
Yes me too. This ROM is a lag. CM 10.2 is superb.

Anyway thanks JustArchi for this ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
actually the best way to get the best results if to install both.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Then deepsleep isnt enabled :p i noticed the slow wakeup is also affected by widgets :P

Im gonna add aroma options to choose the governor, max cpu frequency and min cpu frequency.. i made this script to add more speed, quicker wakeup and better LMK configuration, the battery tweaks are applied so the battery result stays the same without being affected by the changes, if you change the max frequency to abit lower, your device will be a tiny bit slower(barely noticable) and the battery will be better!

download nofills CPU control, set the max clock frequency to 1.2GHz and the min to 200MHz, also change the governor to powersave or userspace and apply!
[Galaxy S III General] adamsuail:
I used megawipe to clean the internal storage before flashing the rom and i have 27 apps turned off, also the sync feature under accounts is only enabled for the apps that i really need. Like Aquamail, whatsapp, contacts..etc, my data connection is off too as I only use WIFI. I use static wallpapers and no weather widgets.

The last thing I did was adding Ricky’s R95SetGoverner script which really fixed the screen unlock issue. hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III General] forty two:
Thanks. I changed nothing in my settings. Most of my apps sync on auto. Both WiFi and data is on.

The odd thing is: I used to have about 60% of my (larger, 3000 mAh) battery in the evenings. Now I'm lucky if I have 20%.
[Galaxy S III General] Ahad Ejaz:
anyone else having problems with wifi it keeps disconnecting and download speed in apps is close to nill
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Sorry my friend but actually you're proposing the worst possible settings available.

1. Governor. Ondemand does not have hotplug, you run whole 4 cpu cores all the time, it's generic linux governor which in fact adapt frequency but you're often at the full clock speed, thus you're not saving battery at all.

Same goes with limiting max clock. If you're using your "proposed tweaks" above then it's obvious that you need to limit frequency, because ondemand doesn't care. Governor should limit frequency according to the load, not user, what the...

Change governor to powersave? It's the same as limiting max frequency to 200 MHz, what the hell are you proposing to people?

Userspace is obsolete since '99.

I'm not going to comment the rest. Please, before applying blind tweaks read a bit about what you propose to people. Sure, ondemand will reduce lag because you're running 4x more speed at 4 cores instead of 1. Is it what you're looking for?

P.S. 2x 200 MHz cores use more battery than 1x 1600 MHz. It's about 2x 800 compared to 1x 1400.
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
Ill take that into mind. Ive been doing some research lately, seems the rweaks have worked for me and quite abit of other people.
[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
Hi archi,maybe you can shed some light here.The thing is i have 4.1.2 installed (I have XXELK4 rom with XXEMG4 modem).The thing is that when i flash your 4.3 rom i lose network.And i checked and i have both imei and s/n just fine.Just no signal , and can registrer the network.Do i have to wait other modems ? , maybe some latinoamerica one ?.
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Some tip for you in #1 post:

To sum up - after flashing this rom flash through CWM modem MJ3(available in #1 post also). :)
[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
Nope, that didnt worked, i tried the mj3 modem and didnt worked, i have signal,imei,s/n. But still i dont have network, dear lord why me ? :( , at least i had both backups of imei and my previous rom too, so im going back to my backup.Guess i just need to wait for a newer 4.3 modem version, or someone else advice :p
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Anyway, there's one more option you can try. Flash through odin the whole rom MG4 - it will for sure convert your efs from V1 to V2. Then flash in odin PhilZ Touch & in the end flash this rom. :)
[Galaxy S III General] ep2610:
I did that, I 've installed this kernel from Yank555 with the default values (most of stock ROM). I remember that I 've changed one or two to a little higher values but nothing risky. Now my s3 works like a charm! Meaning less lag when I turn the screen on after deep sleep and everything else works just great. I am not urging you to do the same thing, I am just telling you what I did and I 've solved most of my problems...

cheers.
[Galaxy S III General] diegonnc:
Cant remember for sure, but i think i already tried that (I tried flashing many roms), and most of them give me the "no network problem", and sometimes i even lose my imei :p, but thats fine as long as i have my backups.Will try later at night, and i will report results here, thanks for your help.

Edit: As an interest fact, i now restored my backup (4.1.2 XXELK4) (bot modem and imei), and my modem is XXELKB, my imei is fine, but my S/N is full of zeroes O.o , but i got the network working and everything else just fine.
[Galaxy S III General] mcbyte_it:
I installed this ROM, cleaning everything, data, system, cache and even internal storage, installed and all was ok, but the rom is not detecting my SD Card, in 10 reboots it detected it only once..... anybody got this issue?

The sdcard is working in the PC, and in the TWRP, but not the rom itself....

I have a SanDisk 32G, but with the 4.1.2 it was working just fine till 30 minutes ago.

Update:

Ok, seems my SD Card has some errors in the filesystem, doing a chkdsk /f in windows fixed the errors and now my device detects it...
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
... Why they shouldn't? If you're literally removing all PegasusQ hotplugging and load balancing and replacing it by linux's Ondemand governor which acts the same as 4 cores online whole the time with frequency according to load. It'll always be faster than working on power-efficient governor, especially if you're setting a governor prepared for the devices connected with AC.

Make some tests. Install Cool Tool or anything what shows you CPU frequency in real time (0.5 sec interval max). Now when you do anything like playing you can notice that phone is extremely hot and working mostly on 10% @ 1400 MHz. Is that what you're looking for?

Ondemand governor isn't even suitable for most laptops, unless you're working on AC. Why? The same as above. It takes too much unneeded power even if it's not required, that's why linux has another cool laptop-friendly governor, called conservative. Read why conservative is better than ondemand in terms of battery and you'll know why you shouldn't even consider ondemand as your daily governor.

Additionally noone of these governors has hotplugging support, meaning you're running 4 cores online whole the time. Even talking further they share same frequency. That's also pointless because usually you're working in one, two threads, while bringing even 2 cores with minimum frequency is slower and drains battery more than 1x 1400 Mhz. That's why governor should firstly try to run at 1 core @ Maximum frequency, and if it's not enough bring additional core. At the most time you're using one to two cores online, nearly never more, and two are available only during gaming, if game takes whole the core's power (is not optimized or not working at 100% under our device).

PegasusQ is most friendly governor, even untweaked because of low hotplugging (see above why it's important) and lack of real speed, causing more or less freezes, including wakeup freeze. However it has the best performance/battery ratio and we can only try to optimize it more based on the idealogoy. For example ZZMoove governor developed by ZaneZam is just faster PegasusQ. It aims for the perfect frequency for current load (same as PegasusQ), however it's ultra fast, and that's why you can notice such awesome speed without battery consumption at all.
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
ive taken what you have said into advice, im adding options in aroma to set the govornex, max frequency, min frequency, I/O scheduler and also toggle entropy(for supercharger script compatibility)..

your right, also im debating wether userspace or pegasusq is best, seems as though userspace hangs around the 800/900MHz while pegasusq hangs at 600MHz but has better battery life and the usage of it is just abit slower then userspace.

also im gonna set 1 core at max and see how that goes!

thanks for ther advice, appreciate it! :good:
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Userspace is obsolete since '99. Apps shouldn't manualy set frequency because OS is the supervisor here, not the app itself.

The only reasonable governors for today are these with hotplugging support. PegasusQ, ZZMoove, SmartAss V2 (? Not sure ?) and maybe other.

On the other hand if you're talking about I/O governors the answer may not be the obvious one, as you can at least highlight 3 very reliable and efficient governors - NOOP, ROW, SIO. Everyone of them is good at something else and there's no one winner. However in terms of governor there is. You should tweak PegasusQ to be a bit faster instead of using other governors, unless they support hot plugging.

And no problem, we're talking about rom's stuff so if you have any questions regarding this matter feel free to let me know.
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
i just noticed that! so you would reccommend Pegasusq and say.. noop? and just tweak it?

or repack stock with ZZmove support?

also are you on irc? is there a more efficiant source of contacting you?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
I'm not but you have a PM-way of contacting me. About tweaking governors - just take a look what most of the kernels do, especially these with the ability to tweak PeagsusQ, Yank555, Boeffla, Googy, enough.

Like I said in terms of I/O there's no one winner. NOOP is the fastest, SIO is the most balanced and simplest one, while ROW is supposed to work best on our devices.
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
would you reccommend a repack of the atock kernel with ZZmove support?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Could be quite a good way because zzmoove is highly flexible in terms how you can tweak it.

Make some research, ZaneZam has a very good documenation how his governor works. I highly recommend it ;).
[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
ill see hat i can do! me and compiling kernels from source havent mixed very well in the passed..(completely bricked HTC SXL somehow erased the hboot)

but im willing to give it another shot this time with precaution! thanks for the advice!
[Galaxy S III General] mrmrmrmr:
so, what do you propose ?

the rom had a severe lag when turning on after some time.

with ricky's script it is solved.

but as you say, there is significant battery usage.

how can we balance ?

before this rom (with 4.1.2) I had much more apps installed but I didn't have such battery usage and there was no delay in turning on.
[Galaxy S III General] mcbyte_it:
I installed this yesterday, and it is working fine so far.

But I have some issues with programs that use root, such as SSHdroid and ShareKM. ShareKM says only USB is available on non-rooted devices. which is strange as the device is rooter and Titanium Backup is working just fine.

Are there other parts of the root that are missing? se linux maybe?
[Galaxy S III General] almaximo:
Do you think I can flash the BUUGMJ3 modem from the 1st post to a cm 10.2 where actually is running UFME7 modem ?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
I propose custom kernel with tweaked PegasusQ or even different governor. Personally I'm using ZZMoove.

You can but keep in mind that it won't convert your EFS to V2. Actually your best shot would be to flash XXUGMJ3 through Odin from Samsung (comes with modem), then first boot to convert it, then recovery and CM. Why? Because you're updating low level partitions f.e. bootloader when you're flashing through Odin and also you're converting your EFS to V2.

[Galaxy S III General] almaximo:
You wrote to flash XXUGMJ3 through Odin but I suppose You mean XXUGMJ9, correct ?

so you suggest to" go back" to original samsung rom and than back again to CM

but if I want only try the new modem caming with the original sammy rom, I can do that simply flashing the new one through recovery over my CM, correct?
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Yes you can but what's the point of using EFS V2 modem on EFS V1? If Samsung made anything to improve modem you're intentionally losing it.
[Galaxy S III General] almaximo:
I'm only trying to avoid resetting my Temasek ROM so fine tuned ;) and test the new modem at the same time
