I was on 6.3, but it had hte slow wakeup bug, where it was unresponsive if I woke it up, particularly if I had just put it to sleep manually.

Confirmed - rotating lock screen bug (although I actually like it, and had it enabled already, so I had to disable it first).

I have 2 choices for home - Nova and L3 - no more Trebuchet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandoncarlson33:
Will not rotate for me is not checked 6.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Are you on stock kernel?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Trebuchet was taken out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I'm using DKP kernel; rotation was disabled on my dirty flash of 6.6 and lockscreen rotated. I enabled and then disabled it, and the lockscreen then did not rotate. I do use lockscreen notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
Did u flash pa gapps? Cause that takes it out. Same with stock mms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandoncarlson33:
Nope ktoonsez
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
+Deliberate : may have a tiny bug with the Kernel for 6.6. Lockscreen rotates even if disabled but even rotation active. I have been polling the d2lte C-RoM threads and everyone who is on stock Kernel has this, custom kernel not. At least that's what it looks like so far. Not a huge deal. I will flash a custom kernel later to test it.

Also, Trebuchet taken out of this build, replaced with Launcher3, according to aways on Google+.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Thanks! It didn't work that way for me, though. I also use lockscreen notifications, which is why it's a hassle. It's starting to look like people on d2lte with the stock kernel can't disable it and have rotation enabled. Definitely small potatoes.

EDIT: Also Kernel Tweaker Boot.img backup not working on mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello 'Master Cylinder'. Yeah... There's a bug with the Kernel for v6.6. I, too, am having the same issue. It's becoming annoying. With that being said... What is the 'best' Kernel, that will work on this Rom and Great on battery, to flash to?

On another note... I am using the 'Apex Launcher Pro' and I kind of like it. Not to mention the many features to play with. Just my $0.02 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I'm going to try BMS after getting a recommendation from another d2vzw user of this ROM. I've used KT747 before and it's been okay. This will be my first good test of a custom kernel.

I use Apex, too, just not Pro.

I'm having problems working with wallpapers on 6.6, getting blurry images and other abnormalities. Wallpaper under 'Themes' doesn't go anywhere also, There has been a re-release of 6.6 for some phones, i9300 for instance, in order to fix some Theme issues, though I don't know if we'll get it for our phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
'Master Cylinder' what is BMS and can you send me the link to download and flash it too? As for your Wallpaper issue... I have not been experiencing anything like that. I am even using a Live Wallpaper (Lake weather) w/o an issue. I am just having the issue with the "Rotating Lock screen" and trying to obtain a better battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Live wallpaper doesn't cause a problem but going through Gallery and choosing one does, only for me on 6.6.

You can get all of the Kernels in the in Verizon Android Original Development: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/orig-development

EDIT: Well, flashing kernels didn't stop the lockscreen rotation. Tried 3. Obviously not the problem, though it's strange that everyone that has this is on stock and those who don't are all on custom kernels. Anyway, if it bothers me too much I'll just go back to 6.5 which worked just fine. (Or I'll clean flash - don't tell anybody I dirty flashed! Next build probably won't be able to because they're changing the base to SlimROM.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
It was noted (in the changelog?) that a full wipe is required for updating to 6.6 because of the theme manager changes. I clean flashed and don't have issues with lockscreen rotation. I should note that I'm also running KT's kernel.

VZW SGSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I said not to tell anybody!! ;) I probably wouldn't have updated if I had to clean flash this time because everything worked great for me on 6.5 and I didn't want to set everything up again. Though I might at some point if I get bored enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
Bah. It was bad enough waiting for 10 minutes while ART reinitialized my apps.

A clean install on this phone? Pfft.

Good news - 6.6 doesn't seem to have the "I've fallen (asleep) and I can't wake up!" issue. Loving 6.6 so far, but I have Apex Pro and Nova Prime, and am using L3 - not really sure which launcher I want to use now.

Tempted by Aviate as well. I should try it and see - and perhaps a custom kernel as well....

So many things to think about lol...so little time -(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Which kernel specifically do I want? I'm just looking for battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I had very good success with the dkp kernel and this rom. However, the bottom line is that certain kenels work better on my phone than others and with certain roms and not other roms. You need to test them on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
The 3 main ones for our phone are dkp, bms and KT747. I would go to the 'Original Android Development' thread and go to the end of those threads and read what others are saying and/or ask a question, then try one out! It's easy to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
I've had really good success with C-Rom and KT's kernel. If you look at the Sprint KT thread, [MENTION=815654]stas333[/MENTION] has a really good profile in his signature. Idle battery life is as little as 1% over 8 hours when idle and not syncing (during sleep hours) and is still snappy when actually using the phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800576&page=615
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ucpro:
Google maps navigation really slows my phone down to the point I can't do anything else. I can see the map freezing, and when I have my music on, that too skips all over the place. I even got a random reboot while trying to navigate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Any idea why my phone would be losing battery while plugged I to the charger while only using Chrome browser? Bad battery maybe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
Hey MC.... And everyone for that matter that is having issues with lock screen rotation.. Had the same issue after "d-word" flashing from 6.5 and couldn't figure out why is wouldn't stop rotating. After some tinkering I got it to stop on mine by doing the following... Before flashing 6.5 i had a gesture lock set up (which I never use). While gesture lock was on, or anything other than lock screen off completely or lock screen set as "slide" setting, it didn't give me any options for lock screen rotation under the security section. After changing my lock screen to either "none" or slide, it gave me another setting under "screen security" labeled "lock screen rotation" see pic. After changing that setting to "portrait" I could then go back in and the choose one of the other security methods and it stops the rotation all together. Stock kernel. Worked for me, give it a shot and see if it does for you! Sorry for the long post :)

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Are you sure there's nothing running in the background? If there isn't, then it may be the battery. I had the same problem only mine was a combination of both. Since I bought my zero lemon battery, I haven't had one problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Idk if anything is running in the background. What's the best way to check that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello 'Master Cylinder'. Well, I believe I may have the solution to the problem. Follow the steps below (You have nothing to lose, but gain).

Go into Settings (System settings)

Security

Lockscreen rotation (It should display 'Disabled')

Select 'Enabled'.

Go back into Lockscreen rotation

Select 'Disabled'.

Goto the Home Screen.

Test

Let me know if your good now or not. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
This worked. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoderz:
Is anyone else unable to adjust the volume when the screen is off? I'm able to skip tracks just fine, but the volume will not increase or decrease unless the screen is on. I've tried it with Slacker Radio and Songza. Clean install of 6.5. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] garyh2:
I am getting the same behavior. Skipping works fine, volume adjusting does not. On a clean-flashed 6.5 as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well, gentlemen (sexist assumption?) this is awesome! Great tinkering! However, for mine, I had to set Security>Lockscreen rotation to 'Portrait only' as per emomike25 remedy. Yeah! I hated that rotation, the way I use my phone out of my back pocket.:victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Same here all the way back on 6.3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Same on 6.6.

VZW SGSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Same here - it seems to be common across all devices and is the most common complaint.

Next build will be on a different base - SlimROM, so we'll see a lot of changes. Unfortunately Halo has been voted out of the new builds. I have only recently become an enthusiastic Halo user after poo poo-ing it for so long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
There are bunch of apps on Google Play that allow you to see what's running on your phone and then give you options to restrict them, or freeze them. I used to to Rom Toolbox or titanium Backup. There's always a bunch of background series running (ie push services, Weather and location services (if you allow them). That was my gripe, the fact that they were bleeding my battery dry, that's why I bought my extended battery.

*Hey Master Cylinder... Have you had any random reboots since flashing 6.6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
:D

I most certainly have -= especially at night while charging - I'll wake up and the phone has rebooted and usually my wallpaper has been reset to the default Halo WP.

Has happened 3 nights in a row now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
OS Monitor is the one I use - works great! And, if you have it on App Bar, (or App Circle) you can run it in a floating window in front of your live wallpaper and see how much juice it uses! Like 30% cpu usage on Sakura.

I did not, though I only ran it about 20 hours. I'm back on 6.5 at the moment. It was running so great and with BMS kernel, I was having about double the cpu usage from System UI and System on 6.6, which equated to around 7-12% and 4-8% respectively on OS Monitor that I went back to 6.5 where they were just barely purrring! However, I'll have 6.6 back on there before long and will report back. Never have had problems with reboots, other than maybe once every 2 weeks, maybe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
I'll have to try OS monitor. It's only happened once so far and it was after I was playing with a bunch of settings trying to get my head around the damn lockscreen issue. I usually stick with stock kernel, anybody have any suggestions on any others?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Like you I usually stick with stock kernel though I am trying BMS out at the moment. It seems smooth and battery friendly. Got the recommendation from another C-RoM vzw S3 user. also very recently updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
I, too, will give 'OS Monitor' a try. Also, I was thinking of downgrading to v6.5 or something, because my phone restarts on its own sporadically. Just recently I was looking at my display, on my mobile phone, and the phone vibrated and restarted. This is happening too many times now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
With bms do I want 3.0 or 3.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] N3RO2403:
I'm on 6.6 and now I cant change my font help? Pleaseee
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
That would be 3.4. You reference the Settings>About phone>Kernel Version, which is 3.4.xxx..etc.. for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've pretty much decided to sit tight here on 6.5 since the next C-RoM build will be a whole different animal under the hood and will probably require a clean install. (Unless I get bored and just want to try and break my phone some more.) No point in getting too wired up about the end of the ROM as we know it with 6.6. Also, there's no law that says people have to take every update, especially if it doesn't really fix or change anything, (except for 'Peek' which I don't know anything about yet) and especially if it's a hassle and then a problem... Heck, I've got Nandroids back to 5.6 still hangin abround for some reason ! :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello. I tend to agree with you.

I was sitting here thinking and wondering - Why I have not seen any Kit Kat TW Roms. Am I just not looking hard enough or something? Also... What do I need to do to set the 'flashes' back to zero count?

Anyone having any A2DP (Bluetooth.. Forgot if that's the right acronym) issues? Been having force closes on every 4.4 ROM with the exception of Mastamoon's. I'm about to try this, but I was just asking so I don't have to waist too much time otherwise
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
the reason there are no KitKat Touch Wiz Roms is because there is no KitKat TouchWiz for the Verizon galaxy s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello. I downloaded and tried to flash the KT Kernel, but kept getting an error. Hmmm... Why do you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Bad download (check md5), downloaded wrong carrier (VZW vs sprint vs att), downloaded TouchWiz version, try TWRP instead of cwr.

If not, I've had installs go so swing that the only option of recovery was a full wipe, including formatting data (the one where you have to type 'yes' to confirm in TWRP.

VZW SGSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Yeah, I believe you're right. It may be a bad download or the wrong version for the wrong carrier. Do you have the link for the Verizon Wireless S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Well no joy with this ROM either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:

Anyone have success using wifi direct? I am on 6.5 w/ LK 9.6 and when I go in to search for devices, it doesn't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rolo42:
This is just...wow!

This ROM is almost like getting a Nexus 5. (Seriously, I have a Nexus 5 I'm switching to due to changing carriers in 2 months.)

This ROM is as a luxury performance car.

"Debloated" ROMs still have dozens of Samsung, Verizon tasks running at boot (no wonder _they_ can't get KK to work). "363MB used/1.4GB free" at boot with PAgapps and KK Google Now Launcher...smooth full-on KK experience. I'm really, really liking this ROM (v6.6).

One discovery: The flash would fail on the version of TWRP I was using (2.4.1.0)--using 2.7.0.0 worked; you may want to include minimum versions of compatible recoveries in the instructions.

One quirk: the gapps on the OTA update (which is very nice btw) flags an MD5 mismatch. I tried a few times, even after clearing cache & Dalvik a second time.

One question (I've not been able to find an answer so I guess nobody knows or everybody knows because it is obvious): How do I add themes to the themes app? It looks pretty slick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
RE: Discovery - yeah, TWRP prior to 2.6.3 is not kk compatible, and 2.6.3 is only compatible if modified to recognize kk-source-built ROMs. 2.7 is what you pretty much have to use in terms of TWRP for kk, IIRC.

RE: quirk - yeah, noticed that too. I just keep it on my microSD and add it manually before installing.

RE:Q - ROM toolbox is one way. However, when I went looking in Rom Toolbox I found really old themes referencing IS and JB, did not ee any that were kk specific, IIRC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
You can find some themes on the play store for cm11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
I love having the fast charge option available. Is the a toggle widget that actually works though? I've tried and tested pretty much every free one I could find. The reasoning is because I have a car charger that's already high output, not sure if it would possibly wreck it any more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
Hey Master Cylinder what network type do you use? Are you using Global or do you switch? Also are you on ML1?

I just all of a sudden started getting horrible lag and an awful data connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
You know I haven't spent the time to get my 6.6 up and running yet. I've got it installed and on a Nandroid without completely configuring it yet. I didn't know how quick the next new-base version was going to come out where a clean install would be important, so I've been lollygagging. I'll probably get it up and running today, though. On 6.5 I'm on the one that has everything and no complaints on any front.

And yes, I'm on ML1.

EDIT: Is that after a fresh reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bramton1:
I use the app "Fast Charge," but I paid the buck or whatever for the toggle widget. Best dollar I ever spent on this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well, a lot of people were having SMS problems on later versions of KitKat commits, though I think we're past that now. The solution was to A) turn off blacklist; B) Use another SMS app. 8sms is the clone of the stock app with a couple of extra features. Very easy to change default SMS app in Kitkat. I used that until I needed some more features and use Handcent now, which is pretty cool with all of the theme-ing features.

I expect by what you're saying that these solutions didn't work for you. I just put 6.6 on to see what it's about, though I went back to 6.5 before because I just felt like it ran better and I didn't want to go through the whole process of clean flashing and setting up 100 things, then turning around and doing it again on the new build. I'm still seeing the System UI using more CPU on 6.6 than the previous builds which is one reason I went back. System has been a little higher, too, though I'm still watching with OS Monitor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
I'm on 6.6 as well. I'm guessing the higher System UI usage may be from the further inclusion of the new CM theme manager. I think 6.5 had the new theme manager too but an earlier version. 6.4 is the old theme manager, I believe.

VZW SGSIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:

Hover

I gotta say after using hover for a little bit today, i really with it was baked into c-rom. Could only use the official PA build for a little as there is NO customization options due to it being stock. But hover blows halo out of the water imho.. Just can't stay away from c-rom

Has anyone had issues with random reboots? Specifically the only time I have noticed it is when I'm playing Pandora. I also use a modded version of Pandora to avoid ads and skip limits. I'm still on 6.3 with ktoonsez, I run at 135min - 1134max mhz interactive, and row with no issues of my phone being laggy. Could any of these be the issue? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've never had random reboots through 6.5. You could wipe the data on that Pandora app (which you've probably already tried) Wiping Dalvik/Cache, reinstall the app, etc .... You could also try upgrading to a newer version if the ROM, 6.6 has been a problem on our phone for some with SystemUI crashes and poor battery life. I would uninstall the app first.

Or you could wait for the totally new version on the SlimROM Base, 7.0, with Android 4.4.3 which is out but not for our device yet. Could be just a couple more days. He was having trouble with the Samsung builds last I heard (yesterday.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:

Out of curiosity, is SlimROM based on CM 11 as well?

(Shhhh...:angel: don't tell anybody! I've been using mastamoon's CM11 6/9 tweak for our phone based on Android 4.4.3 with Xblast+XHalo floating windows and it is really perfect! It's everything C-RoM was trying to be (minus Halo and OmniSwitch and Kernel Tweaker, 1st and last of which will be left out of the new 7.0 build) but the floating windows actually work perfectly on this. There might be a couple of other things C-RoM had that I'm missing here but this is pretty sweet! Of course, I'm anxious to try the new C-RoM build to see which is better! However, mastamoon has been putting up 2-3 builds a week but soon will be moving on to another phone, so this fork will die off.)

PS - aways has run into some trouble so it looks like a few more days will be needed.
