Phone slow? GET SEEDER! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Alright so I was browsing droid life and looks like someone that hated the lag on their phone decided to get to the bottom of it and fix the issue so along came this awesome fix. Try it I'm sure you will notice this speed boost.
* There is an app you can download but for me the app doesn't work so its a safer bet to just download the zip file and flash in recovery, make sure after you flash that you wipe cache/dalvik.

So how do you turn it off after flashing it? With the app itself?

Edit.

Mine kept returning to "off" as well so I returned it. While on it did make quite a difference though. Can't say for battery life since I didn't have it long enough.

If you used the back button it will turn the app off.

Ok yes it does work not pressing back just home then reopen app shows on

Really? That's the problem. Thanks.

Yea when you turn on the app and click to enable, don't press the back button this will go to your previous spot which was before you enabled the mod. Pressing the home button keeps it enabled.

Hopefully dev's incorporate this into the roms.

Jcase says it is a placebo along with many other devs so I'm not buying that it helps.

This does keep the entropy buffer a lot higher then it would be stock with minimal usuage. I did notice a little difference but not much. If you wanted to keep the entropy topped out at 4096 you can simply "echo 1366 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold"

Also a Google Dalvik engineer has said that it's a placebo, which is pretty damn authoritative. Sure it'll keep the entropy numbers up but it shouldn't matter...

What is this screen...

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.

[Q] multitouch problems?

I'm running seans SKYICS 12.5
I used to use alot of emulators, such as gameboid. And I never had a problem playing games like super marios world. But now I can't seem to hold in A to run, and the D pad to move at the same time so I can actually run. Any suggestions on how to fix this? With using the emulator and noticing that problem, I'm now seeing it elsewhere, like when I type on the keyboard. I recently switched to swiftkey over swype and I thought it was just the new keyboard wasn't as quick as swype.. So I switched back to swype for a minute and it seems to be a multi touch problem..

I would try going to the latest update, I'm running the 13ish update with no multi touch problems.

Its a non wipe update just clear cache, install zip and reboot let cache build up and fix permissions.

Are you sure? I read the change log and it says he's on base 5 now.. I'm on base 4 with update 12.5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You can update without base 5 several people have done it and confirmed its working fine, just update as usual. If you want his new base you could always flash, the only downside is if you update base you need to wipe, Happy flashing.

I just updated. Problem persists. I guess I should rephrase. Multitouch works, but not very well. Like I have a delay before what I'm second pressing will kick in. It might as well not work. Idk. I never had this problem on GB. Might be a ICS thing since seans roms are basically perfect.

i set it to 100gb but i think im just going to wipe the phone down to the stock image and go from their because i think something in my build.prop got messed up so yeah its really weird that i have the stupid notifaction in the first place because ive never seen it before. Also if i put it in airplane mode then reset the phone it doesnt show up until i take it out of airplane mode.

V6 super charger worth it?

Yeah, but I prefer nandroid to make sure all traces are gone.
IMHO the phone is pretty snappy after Maz's kernel. I don't see a need to further charge it as it may explode

Well, its installed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
So its installed and running. Applications open and close much faster and may even be running a little smoother. However my homescreen is extremely glitchy and laggy lol. I'm going to play around with it and see if i can smooth things out. If not, ill restore the nandroid i made prior to running the script. Pretty cool little mod though to say the least.
Well it was a fun little experiment but the super charger did more harm than good. Apps executed quicker and seemed to run smoother but home screen navigation was extremely buggy/laggy and I even had the scrolling option in the super charger settings set to "fast." So I am now in the process of restoring my nandroid lol.

Location problems

My phone after many ROMS has lost the ability to locate itself. I'm not talking about gps either. It simply can't use any network to locate itself. Anyone encounter this or know what to do?

Explain what locating itself means and some of the steps you have already taken and did/didn't work. Elaborate a little bit more so I can understand the issue

I can confirm that every time I flash a new Rom it takes a long time (2-5min) to locate itself for the first time.I haven't paid to much attention to see if it's getting worst.

I have just learned to assume people are. Especially people who are the only ones reporting a problem.
Your phone will use triangulation(cell), gps and wifi for location. It is really hard for me to believe that all three of those have failed. So either your missing the glaringly obvious or you are the unluckiest person ever to own the Rocket.
OMG I've been through this nightmare and here is what I did:
Yes you know and you already did it but make sure and here is why:
There is a Green button in apps menu (Google Settings) that overrides all the maps locations, ads, searches and other junk. Go in there and toggle location settings on/off.
There is a Blue button in apps (Google Now) and have that on too for now until you get it working but the Green (Google settings) supersedes all and blue doesn't have to necessarily be on.
Good luck champ!
