If you :

Installed greenify or any other battery saving app, try to remove it.

Installed boeffla kernel or any other kernel or app that configures the kernel try to reset it's setting or remove it completely.

Clear data + cache of the clock app. If it doesn't work try a third party alarm app.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JokkeW:
Happens sometimes in my phone also, but rarely. So I always have a backup alarm scheduled ten minutes later.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
I'm using the alarm every day (except for Saturday and Sunday) and I didn't get any fail. I'm using Boeffla kernel.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Soffio:
Thanks guys, however I don't have any custom kernels neither greenify or root, I'll try to clean data and make a backup alarm scheduled.

I know that isn't developer's fault, he made an amazing work, that's happened only after months of quiet good user experience.

Cheers.

Hi guys

hope you are all fine :highfive:

i need a little help

how i can turning off Vibration in some games notification like Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.

Thanks in advance :o

Guys, update [20170920] how do you rate it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sonvegeta:
After some months broken, my s3 is ready for action again as my second phone!

But the same thing happens, as usual: I boot the phone, use it with the wifi, but when the wifi has conectivity problems, the phone freezes for several minutes. Is there a fix for this bug? Since CM 13 lots of people suffer with this issue.

Best regards to you, and count on me if you need,

Moisés.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Borkse:
If you pull down the short cut menu wait until WiFi is connected and only then push it up again. These ROMs are really sensitive when it comes to connecting or reconnecting to WiFi. This might cause problems especially if the connection itself is unstable. Then I'm afraid you need to change the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashley david:
Try adding static ip it fixes the hanging issue when connecting to WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Klaerchen:
No, still lonly loud noise during 3G connection and car hands-free or headset usage. During 2G no problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Android Oreo Work has already started on the galaxy S2 I hope we get to see work on ours soon enough :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
If the s2 is getting it, we will get it for sure.

But you never know, maybe if forkbomb sees this he can tell us the current situation. Pls... :angel:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
The same changes to binder you saw for S2 need to be applied to S3. The problem I think fourkbomb is getting is HwComposer but not what we already know about it. I remember that on S6 it was not even used and was really buggy. Also some codecs are buggy so the videos will play very laggy or will not even play. These are really hard to fix. We need patience :D You should keep an eye on Gerrit to see when LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412 project gets something for i9300.

Tip when using Boeffla kernel: Use ROW IO scheduler to get more responsiveness and battery life. It is very efficient when you need performance or gaming performance. Also select 1024 kb for internal storage read ahead.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xEmre66:
HWC on S6 is fixed now. I helped the O dev to fix it and now it works.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
I know that it is fixed now but I didn't know that you helped. Lukas didn't tell me (I'm part of TeamNexus) ;)

I love this Custom

But I have problem with my front camera IG get crashed when I switch camera and preinstalled camera app can't open
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] paulcarroty:
Preinstalled camera app is bad, use Z Camera or Camera 360.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Logan:
Restarting cameraserver would be a workaround for this crash that's followed by can't connect to camera using terminal:

* "su" tap enter.

* " killall cameraserver" tap enter again.

Or camera restarter app from play store i don't use the camera alot in this device as it's a test device for me now.

3rd party camera apps might be useful in this case too (haven't test by myself).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androidead:
So in-call volume has been broken for 2 month now, any chance of it ever getting fixed or is it finally time to buy a new phone?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Try this man :) working for me , slimrom 7.1.2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androidead:
Thank you! Do I just install the zip over the ROM after each update?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Yeah :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edugarb:
Try with Lineage 7.1. Work's for me on S3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ehsan7715:
i need front camera for video calls and it's useless now until apps crashed when want to use front camera

i can use rear camera via google camera but when i switch to front one app crashed

i tested killing server and camera restarter app but the front camera still dont work

is it a common problem in S3 and LOS?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Androidead:
Wow that worked perfectly. Thanks so much. IMO this should be in the OP since many people reported this problem, well at least until the official fix.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sonvegeta:
Yes, it really works. But, how can I know the iP of other spots to change it to static?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashley david:
You can try changing values or you can search on YouTube or google:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
After you connect to any WiFi (Automatic / DHCP IP) open phone's local terminal or download one (root needed) and type "su" and then press enter and after it type "ifconfig" (and enter) to show IP-related information for the wireless interface (wlan0). Memorize the IPv4 Address and use it in the static WiFi configuration.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Download the app "App OPS" and disable it from there.

This is a shortcut for a hidden menu for advanced permissions - you can enable/disable nearly everything!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erickdkfz.appops
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Btw. HWC seems to work.

I replaced the file /system/lib/hw/hwcomposerexynos4.so with the one from CM11 after flashing back to LOS.

Then I tried the original file with no difference but now i´m using the file from CM11 again for some reason.

I did some tests...

First, the UI is mostly lagfree, smoother and everything is faster.

The phone got nearly unusable before, laggy, after a short time between updates or clean installs.

I downloaded VLC media player to my device and a very similar test device (HTC One Mini 2).

The specs are very similar, but the second device comes with an qualcomm chip.

I´ve set the video decoder in vlc to hardware rendering on the galaxy s3 and software rendering on the mini 2 which gives me higher core clock and higher usage of the cpu on the htc.

The resolution of the video is 720p

You can see this in a short video here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLSCW2ICPyQ&feature=youtu.be

Note: CPU Z displays the CPU usage of the current online cores, not of the entire CPU.

So if two cores are online and they´re on their limit, cpu z will display 100%

If the other two cores where enabled at the same load, the usage will drop to 50%

For example, Windows does it different:

It displays the load of every core separately and calculates the total load of all cores (cpu1 at 100%, 25% load in taskmanager).

Haven´t tested this with the original hwcomposerexynos4.so file but you can do your tests at yourself.

If someone is interested, file from cm11 attached.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
I tested it but not noticed any difference :(

YouTube playback issue still exist in opera mini
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I immediately noticed a change in colors after booting up with this hwc. And it seems to be faster, i will use it for the time being. Thank you!!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] paulcarroty:
Seems like good old hwcomposer works good!

Someone tried to copy firmware for cameras? Because the default in Lineage is horrible, I must to use Z Camera instead.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
I just downloaded Opera Mini and tried a youtube video.

Works without a issue so far.

Btw why are you not using the app?

It has a bad performance on such old low end devices but it's still more comfortable to use.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
Videos are playing but the buffering spinners are crashed before changing the hardwarecomposer so file and same issue after replacing the file why?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] achillius:
I did exactly what said.. but the phone still wont boot

Stuck at SAMSUNG logo
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cobrarx8:
Alright, gave it a shot, after suffering from heavy lags the last few updates, as well as worse battery life, even with full wipe and fresh install.

And hey, wow, replacing the hwcomposer file solved these issues immediately. Omg my S3 is flying again. Battery seems to be ok again. But speed is WOW.

Thanks for sharing. ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
I have also noticed the color change. Now we finally have our true black working.

Also, the phone seems to be very fast (using ViperOS and this hwcomposer).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Need to replace file , give permissions and reboot ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I just replaced it using the crdroid file manager (i use crdroid which is lineageOS based).

I didn't change any permissions because when i replaced the file my phone rebooted and the hwc worked. The file was replaced and the permissions looked good.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Wow :) Speed and colours significantly improved :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
does the media playback bug persist? keep the phone alive throught a certain period of time, play some video/audio and do basic media consumption and you can't play any media after a while. (be it audio or video) happens on almost any +5.0 ROM (4.4 and NamelessROM 6.0.1 are a exception)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
I haven´t noticed any problems like this.

Just try it.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Hmm.. i tried to flash it with RR but in twrp it said it failed ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
It's not flashable, you have to put it in manually in the directory he mentioned. The file literally says "Extract me"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aser_elhbayeb:
I guess replacing HWC file resulted on some smoothness while using HW+ in MX Player.

That's first thing I have tested till now, I will report any issues back.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
I can't seem to find system/lib/hw/hwcomposerexynos4.so at all and Ressurectio Remix which is based on Los so I should find it easily but haven't, even after unlocking system files on esfile explorer. If you know anything i should do it will be much appreciated.

Edit I figured it out its cool thanks but I don't know yet if my phone is snappy I'll need atleast 12 hours

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

12 hours up this Hwc is working like a charm :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kosmasgr:
Its really impressive how that file makes such a difference in performance :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Yup :) it isn't perfect but it's fine until it's 100% stable
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
Guys , while recording video using default or google camera when taping the viewfinder captures photos & the record stop button is irresponsible that's why? Is this because of the HWC ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edd080:
This really improved the performance on my S3, thank you.

Do we have to replace this file after every update?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Yes
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
It's been a long wait, dear "Added system profiles tile"...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aser_elhbayeb:
What if we extracted the fixed HWC file from the MM SlimROM (I guess), won't it work more perfectly than the CM11's.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Hmmm... Does it have a working hwc?

Like are you sure it's fixed?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qb74:
iirc the only ROM with a working HWC in MM is Nameless, which i doubt would be 'more perfect' than cm11

this is not a fix that was provided, it's more of a temporary band-aid for the time being (have yet to test it out, it probably won't work up to my expectation otherwise the devs would've done this ages ago)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] i.am.newbie:
Huh cm11 hwcomposer working?

Last time cm11 transition animation lag like mali200 gpu
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Tested nameless hwc.

It's bad. It booted up but scrolling is lagging and non smooth.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ttayyab:
How about any of ArchiDroid's HWCs? His ROMS were very stable with working hardware decoding. I might try it sometime later
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aser_elhbayeb:
Well, to be honest, I'm already trying the NamelessROM's HWC Files and up to my experience till now I can say it is very very good, don't know for other people.

I don't think it's bad at all, actually it is more smooth and lag-free. It deserves a try.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] matiasdelafuente90:
Tested the HWC from Archidroid 3.1.5 in Nameless and it works great, everything is working nice. I will try it in LOS later too :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Is it better than the cm11 hwc bro ? Because now we trying everything lol we need to reach a consensus on which is the best Hwc to use thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] matiasdelafuente90:
I don't know which is better yet. I'm just saying that is an alternative. You're right, as soon as i test both i will post my opinion.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:
Please use brain

CM11 hwc is same as 14.1 ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
You should use manners.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
Compare the filesize and come back
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:
You now cm11 hwc need fixes for other android version..? that why is bigger...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Klaerchen:
You may compare the source codse of HWC from cm11 and los14.1 by yourself. They are almost identical. No real changes in the code.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
That doesn't justify his rudeness

Can it play X265 videos on sw in MX player without lag??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aldrin3010:
I haven't tried x265, but was able to play vp9 videos at 720p (both, sw and hw+) . 720p 8-bit x265 videos could be played on the default hwcomposer too(sw, hw & hw+).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] anarchist1017:
I tried it but when u quit MX player after playing a file for few minutes.. open a memory intensive app..and then return to playing videos..it gets waaayyy choppy..

Tried it with cm11 hwc..a fully functional cm12.1 hwc which was giving a flawless hevc playback on hw in MX player...nothing seems to work after some time

But I'll give this hwc a try... does a custom kernel have anything to do with this problem??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aldrin3010:
Haven't noticed while switching from a different app yet, but when I start video playback with HW/HW+ decoder(x265), it'll be choppy for about half a minute and then play smoothly. S3 isn't powerful enough for x265 videos. Somehow it manages to play x265 videos [MENTION=3621271]720p[/MENTION]. I can't expect anything more from my device than that.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] anarchist1017:
U can't play x265 on hw+ In MX right??

And this is the namelessrom hwc...coz this is my last try..I'm going back to cm12 after this
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] paulcarroty:
False. MXPlayer and x265 720p - no problemo.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

The stupid decision because CM12 has no Google Security Updates. You'll lost all your private info easily and your device will not be more powerful.

yeah, tried it. left my device charging overnight, i wake up, unable to get any sound from my device (media-playback bug)

i would've been surprised if it actually got fixed with this 'band-aid'. back to nameless it is :(

what i'm baffled about though is how nobody noticed it, either im doing something wrong or it doesn't work and nobody noticed

Just how??...it is impossible for x265 videos to play lag free with a broken hwc after a while...it didn't work in cm13 it won't work now with the current hwc issue..the patchup job mentioned above isn't helping. Sure the UI is smooth as butter now but nope video playback is choppy

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aldrin3010:
I noticed that I can change system profiles from the lock screen if I have system profiles quick tile. It's an issue if there are profiles which have the option do not ask for pin/passwords selected. This can be used to unlock the device without actually entering the password.

As of now it's probably best not enable system profiles quick tiles until this behavior is changed in case you have any profiles that have don't require pin/passwords.

You should report that to JIRA

Used this device for 4 years and never had an issue with the screen/screen burn-in or replaced it.

But according to screen burn-in videos that appeared in last 4 days this feature is the same of "motion effect" and "Always in display" moving habit in Samsung's devices adding to this keeping brightness in the required level will reduce the danger.

Samsung's new screens are developed in better way than ours and they took care of all details so i see no use of it here, On the level of normal usage (not gaming machine or whatever) will be no issue at all and according to these videos that been out screen burn-in appears in 7 years of usage until you push your device to the limits and cause it earlier.

As I see everyone saw these videos so in 3 days it turned to be everywhere.....
