Sorry for off topic here, but figured this might help people understand their battery life better:

I often find that the cable's connector gets worse over time (normal wear, I guess), with original OEM cables lasting longer than cheap no-name cables. Bad connector can result in lower power transmission.

Regardless, under optimal conditions the S3 accepts 1000mAh maximum charge rate, while the original battery capacity is 2100mA. So under optimal conditions the battery should charge from 0% to 100% in a little over two hours. (I've read that certain kernels might be able override this and increase maximum charge rate, but I don't know). I think an original iPad charger outputs 2100mAh, so if the S3 took that it would charge fully in one hour.

Keep in mind that the phone uses power as well, which subtracts from the 1000mAh input. If your phone is using 400mAh, it will result in only 600mAh charge rate (assuming cable is working perfectly). Normally the USB port on a PC will output 500mAh, so in this scenario you would net 100mAh charge rate, meaning it would take 21 hours to charge from 0% - 100% even if cables and everything works perfectly! Say that the cable has a bad connector leaving you with a charge rate of 200mAh, you would actually discharge the battery even though the phone indicates that you are charging.

There are multiple apps that measures both net power usage (input minus output) and actual input. It might be useful to check these out in order to determine actual power usage and actual charge rate. This helps you identify whether it's the power usage, the battery or the cable/charger that is the problem.

I like to use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor net usage, and Galaxy Charging Current to check actual charger input.

is anyone experiencing slowness with this rom? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fyttikatta:
Yup, really a shame because I love the new Android 5.0

One other thing, the camera is really broken, 50% of the times I enter Snapchat I have to reboot

But, as always, amazing work! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
What do you expect from a almost 3 year old phone? It's a new OS with many changes. A Moto G has much better performance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RazOne:
As Archi said :

This is NOT A STABLE BUILD.

Please refrain from talking about other kernels than stock.

Wait when it hits first stable version. And always post a complain with a logcat!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] valverpedro:
since i'm running this rom I didn't have any other problems unless slowness. hoping this rom to get a stable version, but anyway. great work :good: :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mateus1320:
Me too. Since Beta 1 this ROM is very stable on my phone. But slowness still a problem. I believe that will not be resolved anytime soon because of ART. But (again), great job [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] even with a smartphone without any support and forgotten from the manufacturer they made a good ROM!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
My son has a Moto G and in no way has "much better performance". In fact I believe and feel that the S3 has better performance.

I like very much this work and how it is refined in every iteration, but for now, I always back to AD 3.0.0. I guess until the first AD LP is released... :)

The Moto G's 1.2GHz Quad, Adreno is no match against our S3's 1.4GHz Quad, Mali.

Even in benchmarks, the S3 leaves the G in the dust, which when you tell the G users, they reply " Benchmarks doesn't necessarily mean a good phone", trying to escape.

Antutu:

S3- 27000 (average)

Moto G(falcon) - 17000(average)

Moto G(titan) - 17000(average)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Cm11 and cm12 and the GPE Lollipop Moto G are still smoother/faster in real world performance. I had both side by side..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flopponator:
Is there one specific day in the week where all weeklys are uploaded once a week?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
When people say, "benchmarks don't necessarily mean a good phone", they're right. Benchmarks don't matter at all, other than the fact that you can boast about getting higher scores. Benchmark scores are easily changeable by changing clock frequencies. Real world performance is what matters, and moto g 2014 edition can easily overcome s3 in real world performance simply because it has a better processor.

Getting back on topic, I feel that beta 8 was a bit more stable than weekly 1. Maybe because of all the new stuff that's being merged? But that's just my opinion. Anyone else feel the same?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] karljosephdc:
Thank you very much for this!

---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

I was fond of the animations and transitions of Lollipop that I've decided to change the animation/transition scale on the developer options. I set everything to 1.5x and then I restarted my phone. I suddenly noticed that my phone (hence the animations/transitions were slow) got snappier when opening apps and switching from one heavy app to another. I know there's an issue lately that the phone from time to time lags when using or starting a memory intensive app like Facebook or Chrome but I've noticed quite an improvement after changing the speed of the animations/transitions. Overall my phone just got a little bit more stable and fast. Is it just me or? I don't know. I just thought I'd share this with you guys and see if the results are the same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I have a titan, falcon, and an S3. I was originally supposed to get the titan, but I couldn't get my eyes off my dad's S3. So hence I took the S3 and gave the titan to my dad. Needless to say, graphic performance sucks on the titan, colors washed out, but it is still a very nice phone, just not for a performance hungry guy like me.

No, the graphic performance is not better.

Antutu:

titan- 6-7 FPS

S3- 13-18fps

Also, I haven't even OCed to get 27K. That was on stock Clock settings and on 1.6GHz I get 30-31K.

The S3 is way too awesome.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Yes, in terms of graphics and gaming, s3 is better, that I agree on too.

But to a regular user, moto g 2nd gen will seem better and give overall better performance. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChiragFTW:
Did a clean install for the new update but there's no weather in notification header. Checked that option in the settings but still didn't got any success . Any help? :(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
That is there, the Gs are faster in terms of UI.

We should stop the off topic here :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChiragFTW:
Which is the best kernel to be used with this rom? Any suggestions? XD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nosphor:

wifi disconnects

I noticed the same thing (I'm on stock weekly 1) before, but I can better spot this issue now through the brand new Whatsapp webclient. That client will tell me when my phone does not have an active internet connection and so far when it showed that message and I looked at my phone it did indeed not have a wifi connection but made the connection again within a few seconds (I could also look it up through my router logs, which show the same).

My settings for Wifi are set on keeping the connecting alive during Sleep, but apparantly it does not do that the whole time. Would a logcat show this in any way? Otherwise I could try to make one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SoulReaver75:
I was on Archidroid 3.0.2 until yesterday, Antutu 27.200 at 1.6GHz.

Yesterday I had some time and so I wanted to try Lollipop.

Everything looks ok until now, except for inverted color that gives me bootloop, but it doesn't matter.

I noticed that the phone looks less snappy than before. I tried antutu and I got about 18.000, both using stock and Archikernel.

Are you getting 27.000 on Lollipop?

CM12 Review on i9300

After some ****ole stole my beloved OnePlus One the ultimate wife gave me her S3 (i9300). I had switched to CM12 on the OPO before and did not want to step back to a 4.4 Touchwiz experience. After unlocking, rooting, installing the latest TWRP and doing a complete nandroid with efs partition of the current status i wanted to do a really clean install and wiped everything including all data. I copied the contents of the internal sdcard holding the TWRP backups and all the data to my PC and wiped everything. I must have done some mistake, because after this i could not mount the storage from TWRP to my computer anymore :( Softbrick... Luckily i still had an old secondary sdcard which i could use to copy this CM12 build ans PA gapps (full modular) from my pc to ii so TWRP could read it and I could finally flash Lollipop on the S3.

Flashing itself went really smooth. No errors and the phone happily greeted me with the setup wizard.

After installing all apps i wanted to use and playing around with it for a day or two my first impression was "Oh, that is slow and laggy". In addition to that Google Play Service crashes very often and Chrome and Chrome Beta have some nasty graphical glitches. Other then that? Good enough and worth a try as daily driver.

I tried Boefflas Kernel and did some tweaking with CPU and GPU frequency and voltage, added some 400MB of ZRam and changed the Swappiness value to 90 . That made a HUGE difference in real life performance. The lagginess is almost completely gone and the phone feels quite snappy. Battery life is better then with 4.4 Touchwiz (I get nearly 2 days with little use and a very easy day with normal use). Antutu benchmark is just over 30k, but that is of not so much significance.

All in all i am quite happy now with this phone as my current daily driver. The glitches in Chrome and the crashing Google Play Services is still persistent, but I can live with that. I am facing the same issues with BlissPop on my N5110 and PA Gapps, but never faced these issues with my OPO and the original 5.0 gapps from September 2014. At least the crashing Google Play Services are Gapps related i think. I am a little reluctant to perform another clean flash to try different gapps and confirm this.

Thanks to my wifey and the excellent work of all the developers here I again have really nice phone to play and work with :) Thanks a million!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romano19:
I do not care about benchmarks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SoulReaver75:
Ok, but... if I notice more slowness, I try a benchmark and i get a smaller score, I care about benchmarks.

For you is this rom as snappy as the previous KK rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
install the latest pa gapps for lollipop.

The chrome glitch has been mentioned before and the fix is to open up chrome on your phone and type this into the URL: chrome://flags then from there find GPU rasterization and disable it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romano19:
this is beta version. it will not be smooth as 4.4. but it is worth a try, if you love, you can use every day.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] straylight23:
Thanks. That fixed it. I read about it before, but forgot. I used the pa gapps version from January 16th. There is a newer build from yesterday now. I'll try if that fixes the Google Play issues. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
Sorry that I didnt answer yet. I see the error, but its not too descriptive, hard to actually pinpoint the cause.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GlenV:
First and foremost I want to say thanks to the devs on getting Lollipop ported to our old but still functional i9300's.

I've been a CM user for the past few months and have been extremely happy, So I decided to see what Lollipop was like.

I did the clean install and forgot to install gapps so there was a few issues and errors to start with, so I resintalled again.

I installed gapps http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330 and haven't had any of the google play issues that I've read recently. Very smooth.

The interface did lag for me until I updated to the google launcher and made this my default launcher. To me this made all the difference and now it feels just as quick as CM11 (KK-4.4.4).

I too had issues with Chrome browser and just seen a post on how to fix that so I will give it a go.

I will be using this as my daily phone and I know it's still not a stable release, but over the past few days it has been very solid, enough for me to run with.

I think its every tuesday ... Can someone confirm
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
This is weekly 1. You can't obtain a release schedule from just 1 release

Does it even matter? These builds are not from a build server like the official CM team uses. These are built by the devs themselves. I personally really don't care if it is tuesday the first week, thursday the second week and possibly no release in the third week (just an example). Remember that these guys also have a personal life and cannot build everytime you want. If you really want a solid weekly release schedule, then build for yourself.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
The builds will come when I want to, maybe today :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SoulReaver75:

I tried Boeffla and everything looks faster.

And yes, score went up too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
The Moto G is a fantastic phone for the price, but its processor is a Cortex A7 quad clocked at 1.2 ghz (the "little" one of the octacore big.Little architecture), while the S3 has a Cortex A9 quad clocked at 1.4 (and exynos processors are know for having a high IPC at the same clock), so Moto G has NOT a better processor. I've played with my son's Moto G and by no means is faster than S3, not even equal.

End of story for me.

ps.: Moto G 2014 has the same processor as the 2013 version.

First impression after a few days....

First of all: KUDO'S to the development team!

I installed this, as soon as it came out, and I experienced some issues, which where not (directly) related to this rom.

Battery drain - Caused by mediaserver, caused by corrupted files on my SD card

Force Close of Hangouts - Possibly caused by mediaserver too....

Sluggish behavior - Due to mediaserver......

Face recognition FC's. Unknown why....

After fixing the issue, removing some 0 byte images and corrupted MP3's, the rom becomes more stable and does the battery drain becomes less. When you have strange behavior, first check your SD, if you don't have, by accident, corrupted media files.

For a weekly build, this gets a: http://cdn4.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

I don't see what the problem is. Android lollipop has changed the whole UI in comparison to previous builds. What about the bright settings, and the bright application drawer? Yes, the bright colours are inefficient for super AMOLED, but if the UI is bright I don't see why the boot animation can't be. As said it only lasts for a minute or so, but it looks nice and fitting for the new aesthetic that is material design. It is something that distinguishes KitKat from lollipop. It isn't that bad now is it?

Thanks for sharing those bootanimations. Thought that new white one ultra boring, I keep here the simple original lollipop one from nexus (my moto X has a white one, even the first splash screen so it eventually can disturb but it is cool enough to keep). About ROM I have an impression that phone is getting slower with last updates. One example is Facebook app (I know it is not all done app) but too much delays and sometimes not responding. I moved to its horrible designed Lite version which of course has no problems.
