Warning:imminent ignorance quotient exposure.

Matrix,is the Kernel (deathly etc) already included in the build or must one flash it as well,or not?

by the way thank you for your work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VGMC0001:
The deathly kernel is included in the build. No additional flashing needed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
I am running the next update. Running this for couple of hours, now feel confident for uploading the build.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawaybayeh:
thanks so much, that explains my lack of success in flashing whatever it was I downloaded:)

Kudos once more to Matrixzone for putting the work into this.

SGH-i747m might not be your device type. Confirm that is correct as well.

Try re-flashing CF-Auto-Root using ODIN.

If it's still stuck on boot you might have corrupted your ROM which would need a re-install using Recovery (vol up + home + power)

If this still doesn't work, you might want to re-install the stock ROM and start from scratch.

Just some suggestions.

Not sure if this is the right thread, was using matrix's ROM, but now its official. My problem is after I limited "Google play services" permissions. Google play services keep stopping.

Not sure if the image helps

Anyone know how to fix
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathwing00:
Running it on LG G3 (LG-D855). Everything ok except that it no longer recognizes the headset/headphones/jack. Is this a bug in the ROM? I tried flashing and reflashing and factory reset as well to no avail. Reverting back to 12.0 does fix the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] niphoet:
You're running an S3 ROM on an LG G3??

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Bluetooth Share crashed on me once today while checking email. I was not able to duolicate it nor get a logcat. Bluetooth on previously tested ROMs crashed numerous times per day.

My Bluetooth earpiece connected/reconnected better but still not perfect.

Sometimes there is a delay when trying to disconnect a call via Bluetooth. It does ultimately hang up so it is not a major problem.

Using long press back to kill an app takes an unusually long time. Can the required hold time be cut in half or be user selectable (feature found in LiquidSmooth)?

It would be nice (but not necessary) to have a charging animation when phone is charging.

It would also be nice to be able to set an action for double-tap Menu button.

Again, great job, [MENTION=4551784]matrixzone[/MENTION]!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
sure you do,lol. I recently found Kernel Aduiter ( spelled weird) but have not used trickster. Any feedback from you on either one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
I've used Kernel Aduitor on ROMs where it is built-in to Performance in settings (I think LiquidSmooth and Broken but don't hold me to that). I've had more problems with it. However, I don't like have two different applications that tweak the kernel installed, so I use it when it comes baked into the ROM. I've had problems like it telling me the governor I'm using is not tunable when I know for a fact it is, or certain settings reverting every time other changes are made (I'm looking at you Qualcomm MP-Decision). Doesn't matter weather I'm running a CM kernel, deathly, or quantum this app has been a little flaky compared with Trickster Mod. To be fair, I've never used the stand-alone app, only versions that come bundled into custom ROMs.

I like Trickster Mod's stats and interface better. Never had any of the issues with governor's not being tunable or settings reverting like mentioned above with. Trickster lets you backup and restore multiple configurations. Makes it pretty easy to bounce between a conservative setup for battery life and a performance setup, or test multiple configurations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawaybayeh:
Jason, $avage$3,

would you care to pass on the trickster-mod settings that work for you with this build of matrixzones/ kernel? It would be appreciated. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawaybayeh:
Not at present, but I do have trickster mod installed and wouldnt be averse to tweaking if I had a recommended
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
I would definitely not be the one to ask about tweaking yet,lol. At this point, I am totally unfamiliar with the settings. Matrixzone would know and Brett Rogers would know because that's who I'm going to be asking . In the mean time anyone with some knowledge of this can jump in .

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Ok, after looking through the trickster mod, tweaking the kernel is not what I am interested in. My main goal is to see the statistics of the kernel, and what settings the kernel has at boot, while running,etc For real, I dont see where they need to be tweaked anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
I'm usually focused on battery saving. Kernel settings are definitely a YMMV topic since no two people use their phone the same. Here's my basic Trickster Mod starting point for any ROM / kernel combo; anything I don't call out I Ieave at default. I'll try to list these as you come to them paging through the Trickster interface. I'll tweak this further after some run time (at least when I'm not just constantly flashing shiny new ROMs).

I typically find this pretty easy on the battery without sacrificing too much on responsiveness. This is not a gamer setup, so for more intense tasks you might need to switch to a more performance based profile. Though the InteractiveX setup is pretty passable.

TCP Congesion - westwood

I/O scheduler - bfq (sometimes zen)

Max CPU frequency capped to 1350000 (did you know voltage rises quite rapidly with clock speed?)

CPU Governor - I waffle between Smartmax and InteractiveX

InteractiveX Governor tunables -

+ hispeed_freq - 918000

+ min_sample_time - 50000

+ timer_rate - 40000

Multicore Power Saving - 1

Don't know what most of this means? Some great background info here and here.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Are you getting a fix with any satellites? Install GPS Status from the play store. If it shows 0/0 while looking for a fix, then it's probably not a ROM / GApps problem. If that's your issue there is a fix, but it's a pain. You have to flash a touchwiz ROM and rebuild your nvram.

If you see 0/22 I don't think nvram is your problem. I've had this happen 3 or 4 times where GPS quits working on my S3 entirely, but it always shows -/- or 0/0 in GPS status when it quits. As if it isn't even capable of detecting a satellite or something.

Here's the procedure for how to rebuild the nvram if you want to try it, but this sounds like your problem might be something different. Any ROM with a stock dialer ought to work.

I did create an nvbackup through android terminal before I ever flashed away from stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Do not do a:

reboot nvrestore

The nvram rebuild for GPS issues is a something different. See the post linked to #3002 above if you're curious. What you're describing does not match my experience when going into the maintenance menus and rebuilding nvram was necessary to get a GPS fix.

If I were in your situation I'd consider restoring a known good nandroid backup or maybe flashing a CM11 milestone and see if GPS works in those before troubleshooting further. A stock ROM would be fine too, but it can be tricky to get touchwiz to boot after being on AOSP ROMs.

If GPS is borked in your backup or a stable KitKat ROM too, then the nvram rebuild might be a good thing to try. If it turns out to be specific to this ROM then posting some logs would help matrixzone out with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Restoring a backup of whatever you came from would be ok.

If you don't have a backup or want to try something else, a recent d2lte CM11 nightly is usually a pretty safe bet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arasarn:
I tried restoring my nandroid backup of my stock rom and that caused all sorts of issues. It would simply not restore. I guess it may have been corrupted. I also tried flashing SLIMKat and the GPS still did not work

I am also Canadian. I am also experiencing issues with the phone reception randomly switching networks, sometimes even in the middle of the call. If you are on the *FNF2 modem this may be a compatability issue with that modem...

Unfortunately restoring my backup didn't work. I guess I can try CM11 and see if that rom works.

Is there a way I can get the stock rom and restore the phone at this point?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Assuming you're on an i747m, you should be able to go to sammobile.com and grab an up to date full firmware package for your phone then flash it back to stock with Odin. Before you try to boot into the stock ROM, boot into the stock recovery and do a full wipe there. The full wipe should prevent any bootloop issues switching from AOSP to TW can cause.

You still might have to do this to get GPS functional again.

This fails with or without location services turned on.

WAZE seems to work without issue, so it doesn't seem to be a GPS issue, but an application issue.

All the GAPPS were loaded from ROM using CW

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdexic:
If you still have issues after loading stock ROM with ODIN, you may need to reflash with Samsung Kies.

I had an S3 that had no WiFi no matter what ROM I tried. I used ODIN to flash stock Rogers ROM and still WiFi wouldn't turn on. I resorted to Kies and It fixed my issue for me. Then I went back to ODIN, flashed custom recovery, and back to a custom ROM. No more issues with WiFi.

I can't guarantee that it will fix your GPS, but I would try that before resorting to the dangerous.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arasarn:
I tried again with the suggested GAPPS and I sat at the loading screen for 1.5 hours.

I am back on an official nightly for now and will try the ODIN (and maybe kies) later tonight. IF I can get it back to stock I may just leave it there after this experience. We'll see.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdexic:
This usually happens when your bootloader and modem do not match. Is your IMEI still intact? I would try Kies and if it still doesn't work after that, if could be hardware. I hope Kies works.

GPS issues with Lollipop existed in the early builds but have since been fixed. Updating to the latest bootloader/modem helped many in the early builds.

Also remember that with aGPS (assisted GPS), it needs to update through data, doesn't update over WiFi. I assume you have a data plan. Even without an update, it should eventually lock. It just takes a lot longer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arasarn:
I installed kies and when i plug the phone in i got a message saying the device wasn't supported and that i should use smartswitch instead. Should i have used kies3 since i am on 4.4.2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdexic:
You get it right from Samsung. It should be really easy to find. Once you install it, go to recovery options. It will need your serial number (under the battery) and it will download the latest stock firmware for the carrier attached to that serial. It will properly reformat all partitions, which may fix your problem, I hope.

Beyond that, it may just be a hardware issue. Has the phone seen water?
