For me LS is working great. Not many problems, other than the occasional facebook crash (but that doesnt happen a lot). S3Rx was good too but TW has always been very slow for me and for some reason using the rom (without rebooting) would cause it to slow down even more. I had to reboot my phone at least twice a day so it would not lag... I even tried different kernels but that didnt change the lagginess...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
What kind of issues do you have? Im particularly focused on messaging, calling, music, camera, and social apps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pottyvick:
I have zero issues with calling, messaging, camera, or music (although i wish there was a volume boost mod like in S3Rx)... I only use facebook and snapchat. Both work great except facebook does crash sometimes but it doesnt happen often...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
So u no longer have the black screen on FTC Instagram? Thanks for Ur help and how do u suggest I initial flash coming from S3Rx
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pottyvick:
I dont use IG much... and when i do i dont do front pictures. But yes, thats still an issue... You will need to clear system, cache, dalvik, and data, which is what i did... i use TWRP, which will give you an error the first time you try to flash it, just factory reset and restart recovery and reflash. That worked for me...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
It seems pretty solid right now, otherwise. They fixed the Camera video crash/reboot issue described on G+. Bluetooth seems to work but I haven't really tested it out much except to send myself a file.

The one time I didn't read before flashing, lol. If anyone is curious, dirty flash to 2/28 causes perpetual NFC and Theme FC on boot. Can't get past it, so it renders the phone useless until you wipe again.

I tried the way u said and it's still failing

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

On twrp I wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik cache. Select LS to flash and it fails, I select the home option, go to wipe and slide to factory reset, back press to get home, select reboot and select recovery, it says no os and option to install su I bypass and it reboots back into recovery, try to flash again as you say and it falils....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pottyvick:
hmmm... are you on the latest TWRP? that process worked for me... If anything, you'll have to install it with CWM, no issues on that one..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Yes I'm using v2.6.3.1 and cwm wouldn't really be good for me because my backups are with twrp. Well thanks for assisting me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pottyvick:
You can use CWm to flash the rom only, then just go back to twrp to backup and restore... i did that the first time i flashed LS
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
I will sometime, right now I just flashed beanstalk because restoring S3Rx would've took too long and I couldn't boot with no os
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pottyvick:
beanstalk is ok... just can't be without netflix...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
No netflix even on latest one? Where'd u get that flash able cwm

Skype Video not working

Anyone else have had issues with Skype Video calling, or any other Video calling? I can see the video of the other person, but the Video is not getting sent out correctly to the receiver. Other than that this ROM has been really great.

Thanks, Chris

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
On 2/28 (about to flash 3/1), power + vol up (supposedly the screen recording trigger) doesn't work for me. Power + vol down does still work to take screenshots.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deadman96385:
You have to click power first and then volume + it is confirmed working on 3/1 I can not remember if 2/28 had it or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Okayy thanks, screen recording is normally an option in the power menu under screen shot

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Is it an option in the power menu?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deadman96385:
No its just power and vol +
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
I had to try it three more times before I was finally able to get the timing right, but confirmed, it works (on 3/1)!

I tried to add it there for convenience but it wasn't available as an option. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Thanks, gonna flash 3/1 later and give it a try. Would be a nice option to have in power menu for convenience lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tomb77:
I don't get any voice service with latest 3/1 on t999. Flash back to 2/28 I don't have this issue. Great battery life by the way, thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gadget008:
I just flashed the 3/1 Voice Services are working just fine on t999. Can't wait to give this ROM a good run, it seems lighting fast.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
On the 02/28 nightly I can confirm it does work. Volume Up + Power button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sammydr10:

Font doesnt actually change. Is it only me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tomb77:
Thanks. New dl of rom worked.

Been putting off upgrading this phone but with a bit to wait for the GS5 I decided to give it a shot. This ROM is great so keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
How's the latest build? I'm still on a January build, 1/28. It's been great for my usage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Cant get it working, i think my timing is off or something
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
3/1 build seems a little more stable and is great on battery - that's the one I'm on. 3/3 build seems to use a little bit more battery than I like. I'm waiting for the next build as OTA's are expected to start working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chris_sd:
Using 02/09. Works great except for:

- Visual Voicemail is not working.

- Skype Video out not working.

- Crashes about once every other day.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
Are you holding them down together at the same time? A little notification comes up in the status bar when it's begun.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Yes and nothing happens, the volume adjustment just comes up or the power menu comes up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] culson_35:
install the last upgrade for the S3 (d2lte) and is working very well. different rom tested for long but this is such good that I can not stop using. Liquid to the team met all my expectations. This rom is the top of all. :beer: :thumbup:

Liquid-Smooth 4.4.2 (sgh-t999l)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
Yeah, that's what was happening to me. I don't have it in front of me right now, but IIRC you can fire it by holding down power just a hair before holding down vol down up. But not too ahead, or you get the power menu...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Still a no-go, as soon as i press volume up the volume adjuster comes up and screen recording doesnt start
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
When you hit the power button first, are you holding it down when you hit the volume key? So it's a bang-bang action, where after the second bang, both buttons are pressed down?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OffDatGoGo:
As described below it's all in the timing. Press & hold power button then half a second after, press the volume up (screen record) or volume down (screenshot).

LMBO @ bang bang! But you are correct.

I am using the 03/01 version (clean install, cleared battery stats) and getting pretty crappy battery life.

At the moment I am at 50% battery with 4h 49m on battery and 1h 4m screen time. The next thing on the battery screen is android system at 6%. I am not on full brightness so could the screen be sucking that much juice?

I tried "conservative" and "powersave" but that proved to wreck performance so badly that I couldn't take it. I turned off some Google stuff that looked to be acting oddly in Wakelock Detector but that didn't help.

As a side note... it seems to be draining about 4% per hour sitting idle with the screen off. I have used a lot of ROMs and have never complained about battery life, but.... Any tips?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munchee:
Try using a different launcher. The Google now integration with launcher where its always in listening mode might contribute to that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pneumatic:
I didn't realize that but one of the first things i do with any new ROM is install Nova Launcher. I didn't run the stock launcher for more than a few minutes. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Still no Work, Not Even Screenshot Like All Other Ones Ive Tried
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OffDatGoGo:
Try pressing the power & volume up or down at the same time.

Btw, you'll have to hold both buttons for a second or two before it activates.

Other than than the only other suggestion I have is to be certain that you did a clean install of the ROM.

Is the big black bar for recent apps new on 3/4? Or am I the only one getting that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vyrus69:
Installed the 3/1 build and Ktoon kernel and its running like a champ right now.

One glitch from the 2.25 build got fixed where if you got a missed call in the notification bar it shows a mumbled jumble of characters and you had to go into the call history to see the actual call missed.

I'm running this on a t999N Metro variant the LTE version, and running amazing.

Everytime my phone reboots my ringtone gets changed to unknown and apollo does not show the music till five or 10 minutes. When the music is back the ringtone still says uknnown. Anybody with the same problem i am on the 3/3 version.

Does anyone know how to get Google Wallet to work on this ROM?

Would a different kernel help my battery life? My phone just died at 3:30 pm with a whopping 33 minutes of screen time. I use to get a full day and now it's dead in 8 hours?

I can't see anything that is draining the battery the battery info or Wakelock Detector so it just seems power is evaporating somehow. If I could tell what is causing it I could figure it out but everything seems normal. Quite frustrating.

Anyone can help me this is the only rom that when my phone reboots my ringtone changes to unknown and the music disappears from the apollo music player for some minutes then it appears back. It is something silly but i just wanted to know if someone experienced the same thing im on the latest nightly. thanks.

Has anyone been getting random times where their texts arent going through and just sitting at sending? Mine does every couple of texts and i have to click on and off airplane mode to retry. Works after that but could this be a software problem or my phone/sim card itself?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xSTUDDSx:
Alright so I've been doing research online this week and haven't been able to fix it so I'm coming to you guys. I'll give you a little background to hopefully help speed up this process.

So about 3 weeks ago I rooted my Sprint LG Optimus G after having it for almost a year to get some better performance and battery life out of it. After getting it all setup, I noticed a huge difference and was even able to watch the movie Flight and two episodes of Family Guy off Netflix and my battery still lasted 9 hours that day.

Well last weekend after uninstalling some Google apps I soft bricked my phone. Thanks to the help of sawdey21 on the IRC I was able to get it back up and running with LGNPST. After getting it running, I switched launchers (from Holo to Nova) and also unlocked mine phone via FreeGee with TWRP. Since then, my battery life has been terrible. To give you a reference it took my phone 8 hours to fully charge last night while it was off (although since I unlocked it I have a new charging animation and after a few seconds of the animation, instead of shutting the screen off like it use to it now just goes to a black screen but is still on as you can see the brightness. It never shuts off). After unplugging it, an hourly later I was down almost 15% after just listening to music and after 4.5 hrs its at 30% and I just plugged it in. Today I have done nothing but listen to music and just period check/browse my phone.

Is it possible that the bricking messed up my battery? Or the unlock? I switched back to the previous Holo launcher I was using before and it made no difference. I've also unistalled several apps I downloaded since the bricking I thought could be causing it.

Has anyone ran into this or could help? My next step is to boot back into Download Mode and try LGNPST again. I would post pics of Battery Settings, WakeLocker and BetterBatteryStats but I can't since I'm a new comer.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DYLROSE69:
Different roms use a different amount of power...:(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I'm not 100% sure but it is possible the bricking messed with the battery. LGNPSTing back to stock could have affected it, anytime you flash a new rom it takes a couple of days to "settle in" but you said last weekend so it should be settled by now.

But from your info, it may be the way you are charging it. There is a common misconception that every so often you are supposed to let your battery drain fully and then charge to 100%. This is only true for nickel based batteries, ours is lithium so this is in fact quite detrimental. Lithium batteries are built to be charged often and you should never let it dip too far into the red. Doing so decreases the life and performance of your battery significantly. 5% is as low as I'll let my battery dip before charging and even that is pushing it imo. There is an app in the play store called battery calibration that actually tells you to do this, but like I said, it's only useful for nickel based rechargeable batteries. Also this same app's function is deleting the batterystats.bin file in order to "recalibrate" the battery. This is also completely false as that file has nothing to do with how well your battery performs.

I wouldn't turn the phone off to charge, just charge it while it's still on so the screen actually shuts off. Checking your wakelocks and using greenify on power hungry apps will go a long way. I also turn my capacitive buttons off because I don't need to see them to know left, right, center and what they do. And if I'm not using it, it is always off, sync, gps, brightness when inside, etc. But as I said, it may have been the way you were charging it, it might not affect the battery for months, then all of a sudden your battery doesn't perform as well because it's dying due to improper charging techniques. And when you LGNPSTed back to stock, your system tries to start fresh which is why it may have happened immediately afterwards.

I hope some of this helps you - if using greenify doesnt show improvement you may want to buy a bigger capacity battery and start fresh. Installing the new battery is tricky however, there are youtube videos on how to do it, but it may not be for everyone.

Good luck and I'm sorry if I assumed too much or misread your info!

EDIT: You may also want to try flashing a different stock kernel(I use Viper1.1, my signature has a link to the thread) and using trickstermod to undervolt the cpu. The improvement is minimal but every little bit helps. On average I get a full 24 hours in between charges and usually charge once it hits 10-15%. And it only takes about 60-120 minutes to fully charge.

However the lgog is also very fickle, what works for one may not work on another, even if it's the exact same model. Many people have reported the same security bootloop soft brick after deleting google apps for instance, but I deleted(not frozen or disabled) google apps just fine. The only ones I have on my phone are play store and google search and I'm still on stock zvc.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xSTUDDSx:
HPTesta,

Appreciate the response and all the info. To clarify a little more, I've never installed a custom ROM. Just been doing launchers from the Play Store besides having to do the LGNPST. As far as Apps I've been using greenify since I rooted 3 weeks ago as well as CPU Tuner which had both been doing great for me before this.

As far as charging goes, I generally never run my phone compleley dead. I usually charge when its getting low but last night I ran it complete lay dead to use Wake locker (read in the app store to drain bat, recharge full, and use after a couple hrs.

One thing I did find weird is that I don't remember how much battery I had when I bricked it but after doing the LGNPST I had 0 (Don't know if that's normal).

Also, never used the Battery Calibration app.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xSTUDDSx:
And based off what your saying would you not recommend doing LGNPOST again?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ok well it seems like you follow good battery techniques. Maybe try LGNPSTing back to a full stock zvc(or zvb and then updating to zvc) and charge it to 100%(let it sit at 100% while still charging for 15 mintues or so) before rerooting and unlocking. I would probably also copy your internal to your pc and wipe everything in recovery before doing LGNPST just to make sure it is a completely clean slate. I added an edit in my post above as well.

I had a strange issue a few weeks back where I tried overclocking my cpu with AK kernel - my battery was at 99%. My phone shut off and wouldn't come back on, just had a red blinking light. I later found out it was an issue with AK. I charged it for a few minutes and luckily was able to get into TWRP. The strange part was that when I did get into TWRP my battery read 0%, I did a full wipe and restored my backup, then my battery read 99% in TWRP. It's a different issue from yours but makes me think that it's possible that your softbrick and LGNPSTing affected it somehow.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

I honestly have not had or heard of any issues with LGNPST and battery performance. Anytime Ive had to use LGNPST with a full stock .bin, it essentially set my phone back to factory condition, battery performance included. However since this all happened when you did this, maybe try flashing another rom first, even a stock based one and leave LGNPST as a last resort. Just make sure you read the instructions for whatever rom you decide to test and always do a full wipe(data, cache, dalvik and system) before flashing.

EDIT: Sorry if it seems like I gave you conflicting info, if it was me I would probably be weary of using LGNPST again, personally. But if I tried flashing other things, different recoveries, roms and still had the same issue, maybe it was just a slightly messed up LGNPST flash and would try it again as a last resort.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xSTUDDSx:
Forgive my ignorance but I've never actually booted into twrp recovery. Its volume up and power but where do you go from their to wipe?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
After holding volume up + power, you then will hit volume down twice and power again. Once in TWRP it is very easy, there is an install button, wipe button, etc. Hit the backup button, pick all available options and then do a backup and reboot into your OS. From there, download a rom(optimus DE is a great stock rom) to your internal and you will probably need gapps as well(depends on rom but almost all of them need gapps or you wont even have the play store - just read the install instructions of the rom). Go back into recovery, This is under the advanced wipe button in the wipe menu - wipe everything except internal storage(if you wipe internal you will lose your backup, pictures, music, etc) and then go to install, pick the rom.zip and flash that, then pick the gapps zip and flash that as well.

Also keep in mind that if you flash an AOSP or CM based rom, the file system will be different. Our internal storage is /data/media but for AOSP based it is /data/media/0. So say for instance you make a backup in TWRP of your stock then flash an AOSP rom, it will look as if your internal is gone as well as your backup. You will just have to use a root file explorer to copy the /data/media/TWRP folder to /data/media/0/TWRP and then you will be able to restore your backup from TWRP.

If you are just going to try LGNPST again then when you get into TWRP pick everything including internal and turn the phone off and put the phone into dl mode(you know what you are doing from there).

One final note, if you are using current FreeGee to unlock then you are most likely using the updated TWRP. Some people have had SEVERE issues with it, for others it works just fine. You need it to install any rom based on Android 4.4 but I personally use TWRP 2.5.0.0 which will flash stock to Android 4.3 roms just fine and it is rock solid stable. So unless you are planning on installing a kit kat rom, I would first download the TWRP 2.5.0.0 zip found here to your internal, go into twrp, pick the install button, find the .zip file and install that, then go to reboot in TWRP's main menu and choose recovery instead of system. TWRP should now read 2.5.0.0.

Sorry for the books I'm writing here but I think it's always best to be thorough!! And I haven't slept in about 30 hours so I am a bit scatter brained.
