Flashing modem and then rom is correct. A clean install is highly recommended going to 4.3 plus you must select option#1when first installing rom. It seems to work best to keep defaults after selecting option#1, letting it boot and settle a bit and then if you like reflashing and selecting option#2 and making your changes. First boot can take a little while.

not sure what is going wrong but everytime I try and wipe within philz recovery it keeps rebooting my phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
I use TWRP so I can't really speak to issues with philz. Is this the first time you have used it? Can you at least restore your backup?

It's normal the lag when rotate and back button?

Using kt if that matters.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
I get a very brief lag on rotation, but not when pressing the back button, on DKP. What governor and scheduler are you running? Try changing the governor, bumping up your minimum clock speed a notch, and maybe bump up your voltages slightly, and see if any of those things make a difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
What dkp version are you using? The one included in moar?

Update : using dkp and back lag is gone. Dkp adds like 10 init.d scripts, maybe one of them fix the lag.

Battery Performance and You

For some reason, I am getting crazy good battery and deep sleep performance with my SIII so I thought I would share my setup for anyone that wishes to try it out.

For example (stock battery):

Phone unplugged from charger. Checked it 3 hours later (Zero Use). Battery still at 100%

Light use of the phone for 7 hours, 1.25 hours screen time. Battery at 93%

Getting the BEST from your battery

There are a bunch of threads about specific things you should do to get the best balance between battery life and performance but I will touch on a couple obvious and easy methods.

1. There is very little you can do about battery life while the screen is active and the phone is in use so I concentrate on how well the phone sleeps. You can think of it like how much gas your car uses while idling vs. driving it at 100 mph for an extended period of time.

2. Disable synching, location services and anything else that may wake the phone. It takes a while for the phone to achieve the deep sleep state. If it's waking every 30 minutes to check email or synch accounts, that is lost awake time.

3. Always be patient when you are testing tweaks or a new rom.

It typically takes a couple of battery cycles before things settle and you will be able to properly judge the final outcome.

Try not to flash other mods or restart the phone during the testing phase as this may affect judging battery life & performance.

My setup

:

1. Greenify EVERYTHING. I think the only thing I do not Greenify is Messaging, my GPS app and a streaming radio app like Pandora. I even Greenify email.

2. Ktoonez kernel with [MENTION=2674887]Ramer84015[/MENTION] Ktoonez script file (posted at bottom)

3. ComaDose 3.5 tweaks by [MENTION=5052218]Goddly[/MENTION] the home thread is LOCATED HERE

-- these are a solid combination of Crossbreeder and init.d tweaks and a few other things

4. Disabled everything in Settings/Location services

DISCLAIMER

:

This is not a miracle setup. All phones are NOT created equal. LOL

Some phones may not play nice with the Crossbreeder tweaks.

Please make sure you have a current working backup in place before trying new things on your phone. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I don't have any lag. Not sure what your KTweaker setup is, but you can try enabling the touch boosters. Also what is your Min frequency ? Some devices do not like being clocked really low, and take a while to respond if they are.

A few things. Did you do a Full Wipe as mentioned ? System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, and Internal Storage. It will help avoid many issues. Again as mentioned verify every zip before flashing ( MD5 checksum ) . A bad DL will cause many issues.

A good order to do these in would be :

Modem and reboot

Full wipe, flash Rom, and reboot

snip

To each his own. I'd rather have my phone doing what it's designed to do (e.g., provide services that rely on location, getting emails as they're sent, etc.), even if it means I have to plug it in once in a while. Greenifying email, which means I won't get notified I have email until I remember to check it, for example, is a non-starter for me.

I sleep at night, so plugging it in every night isn't an issue anyway. I don't need to get 3 or 4 days off a charge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Thanks but that's for the homescreen, not the lockscreen. The lockscreen still force closes when trying to add a live wallpaper.

Edit: Is there anywhere I can get the stock apps from 4.3? Just noticed I'm missing S Memo. Tried searching but didn't come up with anything.

Old Zip mods

I have some old zip mods that I was able to use on MOAR 6 but do not work on 8. They were to change the toggle and wi-fi and signal strength icons. Any one know how I can make these work on 8? I have dabbled a little in Modding, but am no expert.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
I will see what I can do. Worst case, I'll throw a morph together. I too liked it upstairs, but I must admit it's not bothering me being back downstairs. I did slim it down quite a bit (in both height and width) so it's far less intrusive and takes up minimal real estate ;)

The newer recoveries seem to have problems with the older morph zips. Start by grabbing the vrtheme zip here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50278227&postcount=4122

Morphs follow the same paths as they did in the older zips but

MORPH/system

becomes

vrtheme/system

Finally, you will need to rename the pngs to match the 4.3 structure before flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
I posted the link to the S4 thread because it has the most updated version of ComaDose.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

You are correct. Some settings would need to be modified for individual needs.

I thought I would contribute so others could test it out. That is what development is all about. (Everything is always a WIP) :)

Keep in mind everyone that the extra init.d scripts are also in myHub under system mods.. I'm currently running KT with the extra scripts and performance is excellent. Just grab the zip w/o vmin.. It can be used with any kernel that supports init.d ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
Your not crazy, your just not seeing it... lol

I use Fx Explorer and when it first opens i see Main Storage, Media Card, System AND, System (Root), folders.

If i go into System i don't get the permissions panel for any files or folders.

If i go into System (Root) i get to adjust permissions on anything AFTER i touch the yellow lock in the top right hand corner AND touch ok when warned.

So is it possible you guys are not in /System (Root)

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

After getting VERY nice battery life with MOAR using DKP i decided to try KT with MOAR. I had excellent battery life with KT when using my own rom in the past so thought i would see what all the hubbub is all about. Am using the latest KT + Comadose, undervolted -125mv, under/over clocked 81/1674mhz. Got a little wake up lag from deep sleep so am bumping min clock up a notch and starting battery test over. Besides that lag, it is very snappy and battery life looks good with no lockup or reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JupiterOne:
From my experience with MOAR i don't see a performance issue with the rom at all. I do see some perf issues with kernels and their setup. The issues you describe have been discussed, tossed around and mostly figured out in this thread. I would suggest you read through this or search. If your having lag issues or wake up issues it's most likely the kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
Are you using the pop-up option under Moar Mod Control -> Phone Mods -> Incoming call notification? If so, turn it off. A number of us have had the problem you describe (screen not turning on) with that option. With that option off, it works normally for me. If that's not the case, you might want to try re-downloading and doing a clean install.

If you're getting a 4 to 5 second lag before the screen turns on for incoming calls, and are running a custom kernel, try reflashing MOAR 8.1, choosing the 2nd option in the installer, and switching to the stock kernel. Then do it again switching back to your custom kernel. That solved the lag for me a several other people.

I have no issues with notifications at all.

Once again I want to say thanks to everyone who put together this great ROM. I really new at flashing roms and Android in general. I have two questions I can't find on this thread. One, I have a faded eyeball icon on my status bar. What is this? Second is it possible to get the weather on my lockscreen? It looks like it is but I just cannot get it to function. Thanks.

Check out settings/my device /smart screen for the icon in status bar

Cool. One more question. What is the corresponding file/location on the ROM. That is, where do I go looking for the new naming convention?

Awesome. thanks. Now one more question(s) Can someone give me the naming convention/location of the following, or a link to this info...

Toggles

status icons (I think that is what they are called. I am refering to the icon that tells me bluetooth is on, or connected, wi-fi signal and sucn)

Battery icons.

Thanks a lot!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
The MK5 modem seems to work better than the MK3 did on my franken-S3 (Sprint flashed to Verizon). At the very least, switching from Wifi to 3G is almost instant and performance from what I'd tested seems decent. No clue why or if there's just some placebo thing going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] averyboots:
So the mk5 will work with this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] osujinho:
ROM

Fantastic ROM I'm in love, but I have a couple of questions

In lockscreen, is there a way to enable the ripple swipe and the pattern at the same time, so you can go through the ripple then the pattern to unlock the phone?

Also is there a way to change the font?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
That's the the 4.3 boost modem

Since boost runs on Sprint, boost and Sprint modems are interchangeable

The MG2 (I think) boost modem worked better than the MD4 modem on 4.1.2 for me, so it's not a bad idea to try them out at least IMO

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Then after you turn on the setting for the weather I remember something like going to the lockscreen, pulling down on the edge of the weather and then swiping left or right to add the weather widget using the plus sign. When you pull down you will see the box appear and you'll figure it out from there.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
Phone icon

Not sure what I might have done or maybe something that google updated without me realizing but I have lost the phone icon next to each contact in my address book. I installed the mod for that and it was working great but today when I went to make a call the icons were gone replaced with a little google symbol. The only change I have made recently is updating dk kernel to the latest test zip from yesterday. Was wondering if anyone might have an idea?? :confused: Do you think I can install the mod again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
Did you flash the mod that [MENTION=220657]chad[/MENTION] created for me? It's intentional that it replaced the 4G symbol with the word LTE. Although I couldn't get it to work for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dweber81:
I must have but don't remember when. How can I revert?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
Certainly can!

Still looking into it.. The Sammy code just doesn't seem written in a way that this would be feasible without some major rewrites.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
I actually was in wanam earlier looking for the option to color my custom label on pulldown but I couldn't find it so I didn't make any changes. Maybe it was just because I was in the neighborhood! LOL. Will reflash the mod. Thanks! : )

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spirithandler:
Just a couple of questions about this rom 8.0.

First: what is Toddler mode and where can I find it?

Second: Has there been a fix to the two icons disappearing in the drop down menu in landscape mode? No big deal just a minor inconvenience.

Third: is there a way to arrange the icons in the drop down menu to the way we want? If so how would I go about doing it?

Fourth: how is 8.1 coming along I know there is a beta out there but I am time strapped so flashing rom back and forth is not an easy thing for me?

and for the final question is there a kernel that allows usb fast charge? (One of the things I miss from the evo3d days)

One issue that I have had is in moar mod control when you enable holding menu to kill app's it does not fully kill the app it still sits in the background in wanam control (I think I spelled that right) when you enable the hold the back button to kill the app it actually worked but for some reason it does not work in 8.0 which kind of bums me out. I don't know if its rom related or just my phone.

I love this rom even with all the little quirks it has its still one stable ass rom!

[MENTION=4478489]spirithandler[/MENTION]

1st. It's enabled through extra toggles in mod control. Seems to just kill data, but haven't really messed with it.

2nd. Looking into, but no solution as of yet.

3rd. Settings -> Display -> Notification Panel

4th. v9.0 will be the next release... soon ;) And it's packed full of awesomeness. I will also be providing an update zip for easy upgrades.

Finally.. It's a conflict with Wanam. I am removing Wanam from v9, although leaving the framework installer in tact. At this point there are just too many conflicts and non ROM related issues being posted to leave it in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yesca213:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
Okay I have tried this a few times now and cannot get anything to change. I copied the new icons for battery and I also tried for the Bluetooth toggle, but it doesn't change the SysteUI.apk. after flashing the zip (using Philz) I copy the SystemUI.apk from the phone and verify that the icons had not changed. I copied the SystemUI.apk from the rom, deleted the everything except the folders that had the new images. Put that under the TWRP-VRTheme.zip under vrtheme/system/apps. THe phone boots up and goes through "Android is upgrading" but the icons don't change. What am I missing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Is it named SystemUi.apk exactly how it is named in system apps? Then res folder, then drawable-xhdpi, then all images inside named correct? I cannot tell you what's wrong without actually seeing your zip...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Yes, open VRtheme.zip (do not extract it) and browse into vrtheme/system/app folder and you have to keep creating folders from there for the entire path. So now you will end up with the full folder scheme in the zip:

vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

then you can add your files into the drawable-xhdpi folder. Don't forget that the name of the folder SystemUI.apk (and some other system files) are case sensitive and must be the full filename with extension.

I have attached a the VRtheme file with the folders already created for SystemUI. All you would need to do is add your images to the drawable-xhdpi folder but make sure the filenames are correct.

Edit: And FYI, these flashable templates do work with Philz recovery also folks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
1: I have it turned on in Wanam, Enable call button on call logs.

Rom in the next version you say you are removing Wanam, are you pulling out some of the features, like number 1 above and Disable increasing ringer?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Yes, I found it too in Wanam Xposed module yesterday.

Disable increasing ringer is already part of MOAR Rom Control as a toggle under Phone/ Remove Increasing Ringtone.

I have a question and a request of my own:

1. Where are the camera photos stored? I can't find them anywhere and dropbox does not automatically import them but if I let the pc scan the entire SD, it finds them and camera app still sees them. :rolleyes:

2. So I don't have to flash back to stock to check this, can we get the sound toggle back in the camera as a stock option? I know I can enable & disable with Wanam but I just want the feature to do it right from the camera menu natively without having to edit features xml. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shadefactor:
1: i know im trying not to mess with wanam it seems to screw with some of the apps I use.

2: I just clean flashed the rom again the other day, I haven't activated xposed and my camera still shows the shutter sound. So rompnit was right when he said Wanam rewrites some stuff when you activate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
So the toggle for shutter sound there in the camera app settings too so you can turn it on and off at will?

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Nevermind, finally found em on external SD/DCIM/Camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shadefactor:
Yes, I remembered Romp saying something awhile back about wanam, so I clean flashed again but I'm not gonna touch x posed. So far so good. The only reason I used Wanam was for the call button on the contacts, etc. And wallpaper scrolling since the mods for infinite scrolling and wallpaper scrolling don't work for the note 3 launcher.
