Download Galaxy Charging Current from playstore. It is free.

It will tell you the charging rate.

When using CM13 kernels the charging rate on my device is 1000 mA. That is the Galaxy approved safe charging rate. If you want to increase the charging rate, use a different kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deny191:
I'm aware of these apps. Right now it is charging at 500 mA (it always starts from 1000). But after a while drops more and more. No need to bring this discussion any further ...

I posted yesterday that I was getting better battery stats.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
big change in OTA:

Now by pressing download in OTA app it will be directly downloaded. The Host is now basketbuild.com as it allows direct download links. in addition you can directly contro if the MD5 matches (and I would suggest to do it)

But I'll try to still upload to AFH as main download site.

I hope you like it.

hmmm... i think that's why my s3 is random rebooting once per day
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Last week I followed this advise in OP1.

I backed up all important personal data from my Ext SD onto my laptop then formatted it. After restoring the data to my Ext SD, I then backed up all important data on internal storage to my Ext SD and wiped all data.

Having restored root, I then flashed the ROM & Gapps, restoring Apps and Contacts from the TIBU backup on the Ext SD.

Only 3.5GB of my internal storage is now being used.

The device is far smoother and I have had no fc or reboots or heavy battery drain since.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deny191:
Once I asked Temasek, and he suggested me to delete cache and data for settings app. That made much better experience with this ROM. No constant reboots, ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
More on the better battery life.

As can be seen I plugged in the charger whilst I flashed and optimised today's update, probably for 15 minutes.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Hi

OK

There is only one recovery which correctly flashes this ROM.

It is TWRP 2.8.7.3

You can flash it using CWM either as a zip or an image file.

Flash it in the recovery partition.

Reboot into recovery.

There is an App on playstore called flashify which may help you download and flash TWRP.

I have not used it, but others say it it works.

Reflash the ROM and Gapps together.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jujuna:
thank you for your helping, but when i flashed TWRP 2.8.7.3, it says that this is version TWRP 2.8.7.0..

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Yes, it does. Do not worry. Basically the original version 2.8.7.0 for the S3 had a bug, so the TWRP Team brought out an update but kept the same version number.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Install the latest version of the stock Samsung ROM for the S3 using ODIN in download mode. That should sort out your data connection issues.

You can then root and flash this ROM.

You may have some bad data on your phone somewhere which is causing the problem.

Quick question: any problems with dirty flashing over official CM13? I've done clean flash at sunday and do not want to do it again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deny191:
This worked for me few weeks ago, but since then I clean flashed several times...

Anyway dont forget to wipe cache and dalvik, and after boot I highly suggest to wipe settings app data and cache.

How old is your battery?

I recalled that when installed RR based on CM11 in 2014, I was using a battery which was only 3 months old and battery life was brilliant.

I am now using a battery I bought last month. The old one was completely dead.

I think these S3 batteries are only good for 2 years at most, especially for heavy users, flashing two or three ROMs a week.

My guess is that for optimum performance they need changing every 18 months.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deny191:
Mine is almost 3 years old. But just recently like less than month ago I achieved 5 h SOT on CM12, which proves that battery isnt that bad. Also during these 3 years I always charged it on USB, which uses lower current, so battery should last much longer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gpjm15:
hoping that the wifi bug (random wifi reboot) fixes soon. :(

This is more kind of thing that you should post in CM13 thread. This is only for maintaining Temaseks.

Is this a known issue and is there a fix?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] odyss199:
what theme are u using seems nice:))
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
please follow the steps which are mentioned in the FAQ (from time to time I really think I have written it for nothing...)

Before posting here a bug, make sure that the error does not appear on official CM13 by either searching for it in its thread or by flashing it and testing yourself.

A simple search, by tiping "network search" in the search field of the CM13 thread, already gives you the answer that it is a common problem for all cm13 ROMs on i9300: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64910217&postcount=2424

for a fix you have to wait for CM team.

Hey there,

is there a way to adjust charging rate in this ROM? Charging via USB is way to slow by default.

I know its possible with boeffla kernel, but with boeffla the ROM gets laggy like hell.

SELinux switch doesn't work for me.

Clicking on the switch restarts developer options.

I'm using boeffla beta11.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
boeffla has its own selinux switcher afaik. this will probably only work on stock kernel.

edit: also please refer to the FAQ. bugs should only be posted on stock conditions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
Well, I managed to switch to permissive by using the temporary switch in the boeffla app and setting a delay of 20 seconds for the startup.

Maybe this helps other boeffla users ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
strange by default after clean flash it is permissive for me... so I had to manually switch it to strict on stock kernel.

afaik, you can also permanently switch to permissive with boeffla app.

Hi, first of all thank you to Darkened_Sky, temasek for this Rom.

I was about to buy a new phone since my S3 was acting out with a lot of problems, tried a LOT of different roms, all had some big problems (for me that is).

The errors on the other ROMS were like the bluetooth audio not working properly, camera sucked, UI crash, phone freeze, etc

Then i tried this one thinking it would be just like the others, but i found a whole NEW phone :) :) It's fast, and i've been trying out for some time now before i come here to write this, i started on 3.0

My samsung was ressurected :D:D

It's just smooth and fully functional, i haven't tried all the other roms here, this is all i need!

I always make full backups of the latest working system on TWRP just in case but i haven't used any yet

For me its the perfect ROM 6.01 updated Android version.

Hope it stays this way

Thank you very much

:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deny191:
I had a lot of problems with all ROMs until I wiped my internal storage as well. Or atleast wipe fata and cache for some system apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
it is included as it is also included in official cm13. you probably removed it.

as i suggest simply use a small gapps package (pico or nano) and install the remaining gapps from playstore.

Greetings,

I flashed this ROM on my friend's S3 and it works flawlessly. To thank you and to thank [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION] amazing work, I wanted to contribute !

I will begin first with some build.prop flags changes. As the S3 has 1GB of RAM, the devices needs the right Dalvik VM values which follow its physical memory resources. Also, those settings were also tuned to avoid memory pressure with multiple cached app processes while switching between applications. The lines already exist, simply change their value with mine. :)

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=100m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=174m
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=512k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=8m

Secondly basing on this commit and The Android Source Code, I suggest you to disable the atlas service (by adding the following line config.disable_atlas=true) for memory savings purposes.

Thirdly and if any, I suggest you to reduce the default's high ZRAM disksize (400MB which is for Boeffla kernel I think, I didn't check for the ROM's default one) to 256MB and to change the vm.page_cluster tunable to 0 basing on this another post (it's quoted below) :

Sources :

01.org - Android Memory Tuning for Android 5.0/5.1.

The Android Source Code - Low RAM Configuration.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
it is noted :)

monday is my last exam. After that I'll go through it and think about it ;)

edit: afaik zram values should also be adjustable with apps like kernel adiutor on stock kernel, but I never really checked if it works
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rellgod:
This rom is awesome, very clean and smooth. With my S3 using boeffla kernel i got 44575 points in benchmark Antutu. I never have got a score so highly like this, please continue the project and update this rom with more functions I'm so proud.

try first to wipe /system, then flash again the ROM and restart without flashing gapps.

if it boots restart to recovery and flash gapps.

by wiping only /system you won't loose data.

The first part will avoid memory pressure when you're having multiple cached app processes while you're switching between applications (For example, you're having FB in the background and you're switching to an another app).

The second one yes, will save memory.

And the third one, may help in case the device is under extreme memory pressure while using ZRAM. :)
