Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else had a problem where after the screen times out your gs3 won't turn back on. I know team liquid recently built in lean kernel so I don't know if that is what is causing the issue. Is there a fix or do I have to change the kernel? If changing the kernel is the only option does anyone have any suggestions for battery life and performance? I wiped everything and clean flashed the 2.1 official ROM. I didn't have this issue with the stable build.
Thanks
Cruz
Never mind, 2.2 update addressed all issues. I knew team liquid wouldn't let us down! Great ROM highly suggested!

I got my new black verizon s3 yesterday and i love it, buttery smooth. I was coming from a HTC Thunderbolt. I had rooted my thunderbolt, however since rooting that phone, i noticed that data connectivity didnt seem to be as stable as the non rooted version of that phone.
Here is my question, do you guys recommend rooting this S3 phone? Has it effected the data connectivity (dropped signals, etc)? Some advice and direction for this new S3 user would be helpful from some of you all who have been S3 users for a while. Thank you!
I would recommend rooting since there is a lot of support for the device. Data should be fine but there have been some problems either user related mistakes or bugs in a ROM. Those problems are fixable. Most of the ROMs are stable even the 4.2 ROMs.
i rooted and i think its worth it. it is easy to do and pretty low risk. I did mainly because i wanted to under clock and get better battery life. I haven't noticed any issues regarding loss of data or anything. i run into some issues at times because i try different kernals and roms that are not 100% in their stable phase. But the act of rooting itself isn't going to cause you any issues.
thanks guys, i am going to root the phone tonight after work. i browsed thru the rooting instructions for the jellybean update software (which i got when i activated my phone). I just didnt want to run into unstable data connections like i had with my thunderbolt.
Can you guys recommend any good 4.1 Roms as well as 4.2 roms? Also what is the difference between android 4.1 & 4.2?
It depends on the ROM as all 4.2 ROMs as of now are AOSP ROMs while the 4.1 ROMs are either TW based or AOSP based.
TW is ok... better then Sense IMO, however I like the stock ASOP feel. I will give a 4.2 rom a try. can you recommend a popular, 100% working 4.2 ROM? I looked in the dev section and there are so many Roms to choose from........ 24 hours of having my S3 and i LOVE it! so buttery smooth!
Blackbean 7 Is the most stable of the bunch as of now.
Ok. If you are going to root and Rom there are some things you need to know.
Your going to want to unlock your boot loader. And make an imei backup incase you lose it during a flash.
Search those up and get them done and your good to go

Do you mean Cm 10.1? Because if you flashed cm10 you're still on 4.1. Cm10 has a stable release while cm10.1 is still on nightlies. I've been running 10.1 nightlies for about a month and have only noticed very minor issues. So minor I can't even remember what they are.
Words fails me. I am so disgusted I have ran out of expletives so I won't bother repeating them here. Seriously...voice dialer is STILL not working! This update was specifically designed to fix this bug and it is still not working. I just can't understand what is so hard about putting back in functionality that was working before in ICS and was necessary.
This is the sort of thing that gets people to switch over irrevocably to apple. This has been going on for like a year now. It is starting to feel like it is being done on purpose for God knows what reason. Does it work for anyone else?

What update? This phone is officially on 4.1.1 . You are not guaranteed anything by running custom software.

Fair enough. Although I never said I was guaranteed anything and apparently we are also not guaranteed to have important functionality (aka voice dialer) to work from one official release to the next. It worked fine when I had ICS it just broke when I was upgraded to JB. I would prefer not to have to root my phone to get it work, but if I waited for the official channels then I will likely have to wait until I get my next phone for a fix.
Both Google and AOKP mentioned that bluetooth issues were fixed with 4.2.2 and I was inquiring whether this worked for others as it did not work for me. Neither 4.1.1, nor 4.1.2 nor 4.2.1 nor 4.2.2 nor any of the other little hacks others have tried have worked and I know others on the official release of 4.2.2 for Nexus had similar problems so I was hoping someone might have run across a solution.
I know I sounded snarky, but I am just really frustrated.
So I do not know if this will help you but I had pacman rom and the dialer wasn't working so I reflashed, no wiping and it fixed it.
Also there is always the option of going back to the stable TW roms. Which is what I did. You can't be mad for things not running smooth when you're running custom roms that make no claims of stability.

Thanks for the info, it was definitely worth a try. Alas the pacman rom did not do the trick. I had the official JB TW update and that is what broke my phone in the first place and I am not really interested in going back to ICS since I got the new phone so I can get Jelly Bean. I have also tried CleamROM and the the latest CM, AOKP and liquidSmooth 4.2.2 along with the just released gapps-jb-130301-signed.zip. No dice.
I'll keep banging away and let everyone know if I find a solution with other ROMs or tweaks.
I am not mad about custom ROMs not working properly I am mad about the official release breaking critical functionality for me.
I tried PK and PA ROMs in addition to aready mentioned. Voice dial does not work in any of them. I also tried Ktoonsez kernel - no dice. I think it's a major JB problem and there won't be any working ROM until Google fixes the issue. I just stopped trying :crying: ...
I have a WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0"). I bought this for the SOLE purpose of swapping it into my vehicle as the main media source - radio, video, navigation. I need to root it for a few pieces of software to make this an easy swap (mostly need it to behave like a newer LG phone where you double tap to wake up) so I need a custom kernel and/or ROM to enable this feature via software I guess... So, if I wanted a custom ROM, what is the most STABLE ROM to date. I have used probably 15 different ROM's between my S3, Note2 and older phones and with just about every one of them, there was some random problem with glitches or restarts... Just want this to be as seamless as possible.
I have found Slimkat to be very stable on my 5113. I wanted a tablet that had a very light ROM and Slimkat delivered.

Slimkat had some sound issues on my 5113, Omnirom works great for me!
I think the best way is to install one, make a backup in TWRP and then you can wipe and try other roms.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 for the last year and it's lite and super stable, no glitches nothing wierd. Everything works. W/great battery life. Check out

I am going through the process of assessing the last official release for the Tab 2 7" and 10.1" (4.2.2) and comparing them to the last official stable release from CM and the CM11 nightlies.
I can tell you that so far, as much as I hate the TW interface, the last official stock ROM is stellar for battery life. I seem to remember (But been too long to trust the memories) that the last official stable CM10 was really really good on battery and overall performance/stability.
I am commenting on the progress in the p5110 experimental forum at CM if you want to follow. my user name there is Frontlinegeek.
The CM11 nightlies are stable. I have been running them since December and never had any issues.

Oh they are plenty stable but there is a known KitKat battery drain issue in it that has not been fixed. You need to install a custom Kernel to get around the issue till they finally fix it in the official ROM downloads from CM.
I used Dhollmen's Kernel to get past the issue.
I had stupidly not done any research on XDA over the issue and have since moved back to CM11 nightlies and the mentioned Kernel and the battery life is stellar. Again.

Interesting, because in the two years I have owned my tab 2 and the 6 months I've owned my LG g2, I have never had to flash a custom kernel. I guess I just get lucky. [emoji41]
Ya, I never had an issue on CM10 or with CM11 in the early days but it cropped up in the spring and I was far too tolerant of the issue all this time. Only learned that it can be an issue this week.
This is regarding my nexus 5, I have been facing some serious heating issues with it,I am running android 5.0 rooted and elementalx kernel.
Would be helpful if someone could help fixing this.
Same thing happens on stock rom and kernel? Possible defective battery? When did the issue start?
Since I've switched back to stock ROM along with elemntalx kernel the device heats up over WiFi and 3G.Do you think it could be due to the stock ROM or the combination of stock ROM and the elemental kernel?
I would think it is the kernel that is the issue. I use stock mm on mine and no problems with heat.
Hi,
I know that this is going to be a very subjective question, but can anyone suggest a super slick Rom for my Motorola 4G LTE?
I tried CyanogenMod but did not fair to well with it - some lag and increased battery usage.
I really need something super lightweight and prefer function over nice looks.
It seems that three of the best contenders for this phone are Carbon, Paranoid Android and SlimKat - can anyone perhaps point me the direction of which one to use (or indeed suggest anything even better)?
Thanks very much.

roms which you suggested above their, development has been stopped mostly or has been inactive for 9-10 months. You may try Resurrection Remix rom .

If you find there is lag or battery drain flash hurtsky kernel

CM 12.1 is very slim, if you just use the smallest package for gapps.
greetings
Thank you both for that - I might have to try both suggestions and see which works best for me. (I am currently using CM 13, which might be the reason I am having problems).
It is very interesting that abhi0502 has mentioned flashing the Kernel - this is something I was not even aware of until now.
How does flashing a Kernel and flashing the ROM tie in with each other? I always thought that a new ROM would automatically provide its own version of the kernel.

yes it has own kernel but if battery and performance is not good as expected you can flash kernel (that is the reason i have rooted the phone.) You can flash kernel with cm13 currently and see if performance improves. But its always recommend for clean flash (Rom+kernel+gapps) to avoid errors
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks for the advice above.
I did try flashing the kernel as suggested but it kept causing my phone to randomly reboot - although it did not work well for me on this particular occasion, I shall definitely start experimenting with other kernel's in the future.
As suggested I wiped and reinstalled Resurrection Remix with the smallest version of gapps and not only is my phone massively more responsive, but the battery improvements are really noticeable.
Thanks again.
