[HOW-TO] JellyBean - Media storage / Battery drain fix. [11/6/2012] - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So here is what I found by trying to stop battery drain caused by the media storage+heating etc. I Of course can't guarantee this working for everybody but I tried this with 2-different JellyBean ROM's twice and it worked all 4 times on my device :victory:
This will have a few Reboots so bare with me. (because I believe reboots make a difference)
For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8
1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice
2. Place on SD card
3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM
4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)
6. Boot device
7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot
8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"
9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache
10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.
11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)
12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.
13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!
Hope this was helpful and will work for most of you early JellyBean users. :fingers-crossed:

What if u use ROM that doesn't use aroma

So if I'm understanding right removing them after setup then restoring them by fifty flash fixes the issue they cause

Did you have any drain from android system or android os? After I got rid of the media drain those took its place. I'll try your method thanks

Wow your fast! Thanks. And yes deleting then restoring basically. Seems odd but I tried 4x and it worked.
My phone only dropped 7% battery in 9-hours being untouched (sleeping lol)

Can't wait to try this out on JellyWiz 12. If you don't mind, I'll make a how to video on this.

Guess I'm just doomed not to run jelly bean cause this didn't work for me thanks anyway

Of-course not. Why would anyone mind some extra help for people who are more visual.
I just hope it works for everyone and on JellyWiz.
Please hit me up with some replies if it worked for you as well. Since as I said I din't have testers and I only tried it on 2-different ROM's on one device. Hope I'm not just lucky or something!

I don't get why every phone acts a little different from another. The best I could do is make a backup of mine and share it.

Same idea, but that didn't work for me

Are you all letting the media storage run for a few hours before trying this? Mine ran for like 2 hours on the charger with power save on, then it started deepsleep and has been fine sense.
The reason. I believe, it makes clips for all your videos that play in thumbnail view in the gallery, and indexes and thumbnail all your pictures. It's normal

When you installed CR 4.0 what items did you select? I think it may have to do with what apps are installed more then anything else.
Basically, install the bare minimum and see if you still have problems. Maybe it is something is getting installed in your process that is causing the problem.
I would leave off "adfree" for sure as well as anything else that effects media.
Launcher: only install one launcher(TW. If you want to add apex or Nova do it from the market after. I am using Nova but from the market.
Samsung Apps: left them all off.
You can always add on after you fix the issue.

Hey, just a heads up.
I'm thinking you might want to work off of the stock MIUI build. Don't install the AOKP kernel. The UCVL8 kernel has everything except orientation working. No other bugs. Nothing. Zilch.
Contact me if you want any help.

Ya.. maybe it is just 'one' of the ROMs that has it for the S3 but if you are trying to choose between some of those ROMS to get your multi-window feature then here is just my opinion between Synergy/Galaxy Mod.
If you want an easy, stable, feature complete ROM that isn't all about making it look fabulous (and most fail at the fabulousness), and feels polished... then Synergy is where it is at.
Day one from when I got my S3 I started with Synergy... ran great... but I decided to try Galaxy mod because of people talking about it's battery life and I was having a battery drain issue and ran it for a day. I was just disappointed with it's mods/tweaks/style that it tried to incorporate that didn't seem polished, work right, and clashed with the base style.
Went back to Synergy ROM with a full wipe, battery life had improved, and I haven't strayed since. However, I honestly don't care though for the other ROMs that already come pre-themed, and the other ROMs available just do not have the feature set.

Re-download it check md5 sums or try to open the zip if it opens that usually means it's good then wipe and flash.

also, and not trying to sound like a smart a$$ but make sure you are rooted first; some of the options will require you to have an unlocked bootloader as well.

Well what browser are you downloading these roms with? Try a different one cuz its unusual for multiple and different roms to fail in recovery then exact same way. If you're saving them to your external sd card, reformat that card then try download/flash again.

So even now, with multi window, do you still feel it's very stable? I'm on Jelly 'beans' b10. I never tried b9 with multi window because in the forum they said it wasn't as stable and that the other roms with multi were having the same problem (stability).
Do you agree? I'm thinking about giving Synergy a shot.
Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
It is extremely stable. For a super stability when in the aroma installer choose custom install, read everything carefully as you go, check anything that says it will increase or maximize stability, and to reduce the chance of any random or quirky thing from happening choose stock kernel.

[Q] overheating issue with BeanStalk rom

I am using BeanStalk 1.200 ( JB 4.2.2) rom on my skyrocket. i flashed it jst 2 days before. it gets overheated everytime i use any app, video playback or use wifi for downloading. is there any solution to this? anybody having the same issue?
>> i already try to lower the CPU settings. But no success. Lowering too much produce the lag.
( i tried search for the same. but search shows it is temporarily down. sorry if repost )

Mass storage doesn't work on our 4.2.2 Roms atm. The reboots tend to be caused by the massive change to the cm kernel which will get cleared up soon enough. Personally I'm not running into them though.

Having minor issues on Synergy

Hey everyone. I'm running the latest version of Synergy and I've been having some issues. First, every now and then my screen will freeze and the only way for me to correct it is by locking and unlocking my phone. Second, I noticed that after a reboot my battery percentage is no longer showing. I have to go into settings and uncheck and recheck the option to display battery percentage. Lastly, after I reboot I've noticed that my default input method (which is swiftkey) will be changed to the Samsung keyboard. Again, I have to go into settings and change that as well. Does anyone know of any fixes for these issues? I've reflashed synergy several times and I still have the same problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For SwiftKey back it up with titanium Backup delete the app and then restore it, you won't have that problem anymore.
For the 1st one it really depends on the kernel you are running, you try various kernels in the original development section for this device.
As for the percentage I am unaware of that as I do mot run that rom.

Im curious you're original flash method. Can you describe what rom you were on before and how you got here? What in getting at was did you wrote data/cache/dalvik a couple of times each? Also have you tried redownloading the rom and clean flashing it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I was stock before synergy. When you flashed this rim it gives you the option to do a superwipe. I did that plus I wipes cache/dalvik/and performed a factory reset before doing the superwipe. I'm not sure on how to get 10 points so that I can post this in the synergy thread.

I keep a tool in my dropbox that does if. Let me find a link.
Yes if it matches the one you saw when you downloaded the rom then we know it's a good download otherwise try downloading again and flash once more.

You can always try since all phone play on kernels differently first try a 25 step and keep going up once you see the freezing stop, but keep in mind some kernels may not be for your phone so it's always good to experiment with other kernels to find your best battery and performance results.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Thanks for the suggestions. Where can I find other kernels? I'm going to play around with the ziggy kernel to see if I can fix the freezing.

They are all located in the original development section. Keep a lookout for tw since you are on synergy.

Go back to 4.2 or MF1?

So 4.3 drains the crap out of my battery. I only get 3G in areas I use to get 4GLTE. It won't stay connected to wifi. My wifi home is comcast blast! and it's always disconnecting from it and says it's unstable.
My phone seems to be a slower too.
Of course I know the reason for these hassles is because the update, since my phone didn't do this before.
Rollback or downgrade to the last version possible?

Not possible.
You can root though, and disable system apps that could be causing you problems.
I'd download wakelock detector or better battery stats and look for wakelocks. Sometimes disable a few rogue apps could solve some problems.

This one is.
Safestrap is available to run custom touchwiz roms. There's some pretty good ones right now with more on the way.

Use the safestrap and install one of the modified versions of the 4.3 . I am having great battery life and good signal with old&slows version.
So safestrap is a custom rom? The last time I used a custom rom, my gs3 factory reset itself at random times at least once every few days.
I don't want to deal with that lol

That's usually from bad installation procedures and not wiping correctly.
Safestrap is a modified twrp recovery that allows you to load custom roms. You can load any 4.3 touchwiz rom in the development section with it. You shouldn't have those rebooting issues you did before, and it sounds like pretty much everything will run better for you then the stock rom you have now.

Alright. I'll check it out when I get home. Am I going to have to wipe my phone?

No, Safestrap makes slots for different roms. Your original rom remains untouched.
You're going to have to read up on it and understand what you're doing. Put a fair amount of research into it, it's not terribly difficult but it is a different process.

Ok, I read the safestrap thread by the user Hashcode. Is that the safestrap you're talking about?

I guess I'll assume it is...and I'm supposed to download a 4.3 ROM to go with it. So I'll get on it.
