Hi,
Skip the next paragraph if TL;DR
I got this phone like a month ago. It came with 4.1.1, but I've flashed it with official 4.1.2 shortly after.
Since then I have flashed it couple of times with never official ROMs, and then finally moved to CM 10.1.
I was really amazed with the presentation of the pure android, not only the launcher, but dialer app, timer, alarms, messages, the browser, gallery - stuff like that. And while I'm still amazed with that, those simple annoyances that come with custom AOSP bug me, making me want to go back to the stock Samsung ROM. You know, faulty camera app, battery life, but what bugs me the most is that it's developed as nightly by regular people (don't get me wrong I bet those people are more talented than Samsung programmers, but they probably won't get fired if they **** something up).
In the end I just want my phone to work. Said that I'm going to get back to the official ROM, probably root it and remove apps I don't need, but to the point.
I searched for it, I really did, and looking how popular this phone is nowadays I'm having troubles believing that I can't find anything.
1. Stock messaging app lags as hell while scrolling. Please, one more person is going to say it's smooth and I go crazy. Open a conversation in stock Google Talk and in Messages and it is a night and day difference. I consider replacing it with Google messaging app, but I really like the stock lock screen notifications.
2. Stock web browser is lightning fast compared to any other browser I tried (including Dolphin or Chrome Beta) and I mean the scrolling and overall user responsiveness. However when you double tap a paragraph, or anything for that matter, it just won't center around it as other browser do. All it does is it zooms in in that direction. This is really annoying.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Michal C.

I'm note asking how to fix anything specific, as I believe it is not broken. However maybe people have similar experiences and would like to elaborate.
Well to be honest my in conversation scrolling is flawless, and tap to zoom seems pretty much as I expect, having played with it I would say it zooms quite intelligently, although, as you say, the zooming isn't centred where you tap, but it seems to zoom to say, a paragraph and centres it, in my example, on that para I tapped, and the adjacent one that I would logically next read, so that might account for it

I cannot test it right now as I'm still on CM 10.1, going to flash it back to stock when I get home from work, anyway I remember when I tap to zoom on a paragraph of text it zooms in but in a way that the left side of the paragraph is off the screen, resulting in text being unable to read without scrolling to the left. It worked fine in Chrome and other browser (CM one for example), stock Samsung browser on the other hand, always worked the way I described.
I don't know how to respond to your flawless in conversation scrolling, as I recall it be very different for me from the start. I don't think it's my setup as I was whipping all the data couple of times, flashing never roms, always experiencing the same thing.

Just wondering if you're zoom problem is related to dpi? Are you on 320 or less?
have you ticked "Force GPU Rendering" in Settings => Developer options...
this will make things a bit better though not solving them completely...
try it and see if its managable otherwise, no solution until samsung fixes it..unfortunately..touchwhiz is very heavy on SGS3 though it comes with good asthetic feel...!

You are not alone. If you have 500-600+ conversation, scrolling lags. If it's 1000+, well good luck to you.
I think that's the reason, samsung by default deletes messages and keeps the count 200 +.
Third party SMS apps, get rid of the issue by loading partial smses.
I recommend GO SMS.
Even whatsapp does that. It makes sense.
Why load 100s of messages, when you're most probably gonna scroll the last 5-10 .
I re read those special texts and I had well over 1000 in a conversation. It didn't lag for me.

Young love is so endearing!
Use SuperWipe before flashing any ROM. Many people don't know how to properly wipe. A correct wipe will solve the problems you're talking about.
I love how people defend their phones.
I've had this problem on stock rom , way before I rooted too.
I have 34 threads ranging from 10 messages to around 4000 and i'm fine here. ZERO lag or stutter, i'm using NULL_22.1 it comes with CM10.1 messaging app. As for the aosp side of things, i use Jellybam, and again smooth as hell.

can;t use that, since when i restore my messages, it split's a thread, no matter how long, into a load of smaller ones
Thanks guys for your input.
Excuse me as I wont address each of you directly, but anyway. It is not an issue with not wiping data as i was flashing 3 file rom beforehand with repartitioning and ****.
I guess we all see things differently, for some of you the thing I perceive a lag or shutter is "perfectly fine" or "flawless".
Good for you - the ignorance is bliss!
No. There wasn't lag or stuttering. But go on and let yourself believe that. You are correct ignorance is bliss.

Omega ROMS
I rooted my phone and installed jellybean 4.1.2. Since then, I have installed a number of Omega ROMS. I am using V40 right now and am now questioning the reason for frequently updating to the latest version. I find this V40 to be flawless with great battery life. Everything works.
Can anyone tell me why updates come out so often?

Didn't get the chance to install 2.1 myself, but view a few few reviews on here and YouTube, not sure i would want 2.1 if it was the same spec released tomorrow.
Why only 24 icons a page now and not 32?
Knowlonger 1 wallpaper per room
Can knowlonger delete unwanted rooms
Never disliked the old keyboard that much and now no arrow keys
With a 2.1 update i was hoping for (as i never had a problem with 1.6)
Open home page in portrate
Positive
Bookmark thumbnails in browser!
Anyone go any major positive/negative to report
Maybe Dell will read this before release and take note if there are enough comments one way or the other!! Then they might not!!
I was also hoping for a portrait homescreen and a more interesting homescreen something like the sence from htc...and maby a portrait program menu when opening it directly from the homescreen!
Maby someone of the rom devs here will be able to create a 2.2 rom with htc sence on it than it would be perfect for me
To be fair, this is a leaked Beta version. I'm sure I hope they have quite a bit more to add
Like FFC support in the camera app (works in fring).

I did a crappy review on my site (in sig, not the food one lol) if you want to check it out.
I like the new keyboard, the old keyboard was a pain with the number pad making everything squished to the left. BUT a left and right arrow key would be nice for sure (since no trackball).
As for all the other bad things you mentioned, easy fix is download ADW Launcher from the Market and then set it as default for when you hit the home button and then go into ADW Settings and change the rows and columns to 6 and you'll have all the space you ever needed on your home screen plus portrait rotation
@jmhalder
Front facing camera would be nice but how about zoom option lol Just want the Android 2.2 camera app from my Nexus... sigh
Now if only someone would make an AOSP Android 2.2 build for the Dell, I'm be in love with this phone....

Not so crappy, one of the best imho. It is great to hear from an informed enthusiast rather than just an opinionated commentator.
Not too sure about the intruding background music. Personally I found it distracting (that's a euphemism for annoying btw) to the extent that I stepped through the review in the rush to switch it off.
But that is just me, no doubt you gets loads of compliments asking for it to be turned up.
I like the scope of your site too and shall check in regularly.
Just to make sure I'm not missing anything. The Dell Facebook widget is NOT in the 2.1 update? Just did it and don't see it in the listing. Only the stock Android Facebook widget... Ohwell... Liked the Dell one... Any APK's floating around..? Also, anyone know if the HTC keyboard works with it..?
HTC keyboard is a no go... Crashes on launch... sigh...
i hope theres more to add to this in the final release!!!

To be honest Id assume that itll be in the final release (remember this is a beta release) because there is also no facebook integration for your contacts built in like there is in 1.6 so Im guessing all the Facebook stuff is missing.
You can download Facebook fkr Android and it has its own widget.
HTC's keyboard would be a nice addition...
There is the option for facebook integration in the accounts section, but once you enter you credentials it disappears.
So I would expect it in thefinal
PS the only negative I have (over 1.6, as I would also prefer portrait-especially because all apps default to portrait and im sick of flipping the phone to keep it in landscape) is that I cannot see all the apps in the market, annoying but I can live with it....just

Ya true.
As for your negative, have you tried ADW Launcher from the market, itll get you that rotation on the homescreen then once your in portrait just go to settings and turn off auto rotate and it should stay portrait.
As for the market issues, Google 'Market Enabler.apk' and install it. It lets you mimic different carriers etc so you can see more of the market. You just have to experiment with the settings till you get one you like.
Hope that helps you for now.
I can't see a number of apps including some that I bought also.
MyPlayer(free) has disappeared and logmein ignition(not free) has disappeared.
Excellent i'll give those tips ago

Actually, not crappy at all, excellent in fact. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
I put the phone to German settings. Chosen because its in Europe. When I set the settings back to stock the market still works so i'm guessing the restore doesn't work. But no probs so far
The enabler can be found.......

That fancy Launcher TSF shell which we all got a preview of earlier in December has finally come out:
http://tinyurl.com/7owwsfo
Any body take the plunge and drop 17 bucks on it yet?
I am considering doing it cause it looks amazing and I'm sure it'd run awesome on our GSIIs.
Belongs in the apps section.
Also I rather not spend $17 for something that might just kill my battery.

it does not work. I wasted my money on it and it force closes. Running stock.
Same RESULT on my tmo gsm tab
UPDATE
WELL ... JUST WANTED TO SAY AFTER 2 UPDATES IT NOW WORKS ON BOTH GSM TAB AND SGS2 BOTH TMO
VERY RESPONSIVE, FAST BUT LACKS SOME OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES FROM THE VIDEO
Giving it a try. Pretty damn smooth; there are a few features that aren't up and working yet, but it's very impressive. The lack of instructions is causing a few headaches, however.
It can only get better with time. While it doesn't quite have the HD look that SPB Shell has, it seems smoother, and just more useful. SPB looks good, but it's like it never got past demo stage. High hopes for TSF.
EDIT: If you are trying to make it do the "snake" thing from a folder and are having problems, someone on another thread figured out that you have to have more than 7 apps in it to make it work. It's seriously cool once you figure that out. Makes for a nice favorite contacts app.

How much memory does it use?
sent from my SHOstocked sgs2 via tapatalk.....
This is pretty amazing!!! I'm going to wait a little bit longer then buy it! I have to say, if it isn't to much of a batter drain, then I could see this being a pretty nice launcher.
I actually set my "SetCPU" to 800 max, and everything ran SMOOTHLY!! no problems at all! I don't think this uses much more then 200 Mhz, because after fussing around for almost 15 minutes on it, I have CPU Spy saying 200 Mhz was being used for 9 minutes. So . . .
(It might be using the GPU tho, in which case I don't know how to check that.)
Looks interesting. Anyone run into any type of ROM specific issues yet?

Looking at 5.48MB.
Still liking it; it's got lots of potential. I'm really digging the snake function of the folders. Load the folder up with apps, when you want one, just drag it out and tap it. I'm getting a list of tweaks it needs for the developer, like the snake needs to collapse after you use an app in it, stuff like that. Let's see how things go. I still find myself trying to swipe to move to the next screen, but you can't enable that and keep the core function of grabbing and manipulating multiple apps on a screen. I'm going to use this for a few weeks and see if I have the urge to return to a standard launcher.

No ROM specific issues just yet. The video that shows off the launcher seems to be on a phone with MIUI, I think that they would be well suited for each other.
The favorite contacts folder I made works pretty cool; drag the contacts out, tap on one, and it gives you the quick info popup for it. The demo in the video looks different because it's MIUI.
The snake thing only works if you have at least seven items in your folder, and the folder won't hold more than twelve items, so some people might end up with multiple contact folders, like friends, family, work.

I look forward to your review. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I've paid for way too many apps that I thought would be cool and useful that I used once and never again.
I got it, but I'm not pleased with it. It's kind of a pain to get to your apps.
Watched the video, read the reviews - even when it's done, it seems like they missed out on an essential factor - it's supposed to be a launcher. And it looks like they layered too much candy on that basic function for it to be usable as a daily driver.

Not sure why you think it's not a launcher. Instead of launching the app drawer like stock/LP/ADW/ect, the app drawer is the first homepage. The MIUI launcher doesn't have a standard app drawer either. And as far as launching the phone/contacts/messaging/ect, they are located on the left side pop-up bar. Granted, it feels different when you start using it, but I'm driving with it just fine. There are some bugs in it that would keep me from keeping it if they don't get addressed, but they seem to be doing updates pretty often and I'm hopeful it will continue to improve.

I didn't say it isn't a launcher, I said that it doesn't seem to function well as a launcher. If it's working for you, I'm glad - and I'll continue to watch and see if they live up to the promises made in the demo. It may well be as you say that I'd just have to get used to it - which I've done before, and will again, when I think the learning is worth it. Although I do like a clean home screen (yes, I know I could do it that way, but that defeats their design).
I've been playing with it and I think it's cool. There is a learning curve and it's not perfect but there are some nice features in it. I stopped using it though as soon as I discovered one feature it lacked that was a must have for me. scrollable widgets. They dont seem to work

Ok, good chance to ask - which scrollable widgets are a must have? I like to keep my home screens clean, and watch battery drain (too) obsessively, so the only widgets I use are Simi Clock (covers clock, weather, and launching apps), 3G Watchdog, and music (PlayerPro and Subsonic). What am I missing?

Well I did say for me they are a must have I use Android Pro widgets, I use about 3 of them(at least scrolling ones) all on their own home screens. I have one that loads twitter and FB updates, another that loads my agenda and one for my text messages. Then a full screen music widget(poweramp) on another screen and a full screen weather widget(fancy widget). I'm not too obsessive over my battery because I ALWAYS either have a spare charger or an extra oem battery (or both) with me

Thanks - I can see the use if I were a more connected person, but I'm not that big on Twitter or Facebook, full screen weather seems excessive (I look out the window , and tapping the weather icon on Simi Clock takes me to Weatherbug), don't text much (and get notifications for that), and my calendar is a tap away... I'm really never that far from a charger, but I like not having to plug in from the time I get up till I dock when I go to bed. If I were out more, I might need it, but I tend to do the home-work-home thing most of the time.
I picked this up. I like it, but some functionality is missing. I'm not talking about things they show in the video that you would have to figure out on your own, I'm talking about buttons that are available to use, but if you try to use it, it says the feature isn't enabled yet. That's kind of annoying. No need to have the button there if you don't have the functionality in.
Battery in my opinion definitely is affected. With my current build below, I was getting about 1% loss per hour. With this launcher it's approaching close to 3% per hour. I don't know why as it's not like my wakelocks are increasing.

Here is a thread dedicated to all PA Users with a lot of questions on their mind
Through this thread (and of course searching), we can actually avoid posting redundant questions at the dev thread..
also, if we can avoid (or atleast lessen) redundant questions at the dev thread, we can easily scan through updates too!
I hope this could help a lot of users, cheers!

Call recorder can be added using 3rd party apps.
Try searching for it on PlayStore
RAM Usage: There's a Memory Leak issue on all AOSP based JB ROMs for S3 International.
The effect has reduced since previous releases, but still present. Give it a try & see if you can live with it.
Most can.

Is there a way to activate USB mass storage option in PA. There are 2-3 apps on XDA and they work in Samsung Based ROMS.. but not in PA..... what to do?

For any AOSP based ROMs, no.
Samsung decided to remove the USB Mount feature in S3... for some goddamn reason.
For ICS there was the UMS Mount App, but for JB there've been mixed results.
Feel free to try it out!

No. Not unless you Wipe Data manually
(Its an option in CWM recovery.)
As long as you don't wipe, you won't lose any apps, EXCEPT the gapps.
Every time you flash a ROM, you need to flash a gapps package immediately after the ROM flash, or you won't have the PlayStore, Gmail, Now etc... the google stuffs.

I don't make the hwcomposer. Those are Samsung props
CM handle the codes, the best they can.
So far, videos seem to work perfectly for me with the new HWComp.
If it fails for you, there's nothing wrong with the old one as well. Both are super smooth & worthy of daily driver! :good:

Love this rom but....
Hi,
thanks for opening this thread...
i love this rom however, i need to restore back to the stock rom for the following reasons:
while on: 2.1:
Browser started crashing after going live for 8 hrs (read from mulitple threads that it's likely a memory leak issue on CM10) (happened on stock and chrome browsers)
Keyboard will not come up when cursor in on a write field - CM 10 issue as well?
Battery drain out fast - need to reset batt stat?
One instance, my camera was not working! - Error msg: Cannot connect to camera. (need to reboot)
Gets feverish - Screen was flaming hot.. like a high fever kinda hot.
Sluggish speed while going from page to page or opening settings page. (Memory leak issue again)?
while on 2.10.1:
Browser started crashing after going live for 8 hrs (read from mulitple threads that it's likely a memory leak issue on CM10) chrome browser
Gets feverish - Screen was 'above the normal' hot.. like a mid to high fever kinda hot.
One instance after using the chrome browser which crashed on me, my phone function was not functioning! - the other party can hear me, but i can't hear the dialing tone and the other party. (a reboot did not help either) - major reason to revert.
I am using the international version of S3.
I have followed the steps (wipe cache, dalivk) and the rest of instructions to flash the rom.
Any other fellow users facing this issue?
Am looking at the AR HD rom for consideration....

Forget Memory Leaks, that's secondary to your cause.
Primary, is your choice of browser.
If you notice on the PlayStore, Chrome has been given 4 star average, & many low star ratings.
Secondly, check out the multiple threads on xda itself, on how bad Chrome's memory management is (not related to memory leak). You need a patched chrome for that (search is your friend ), else Chrome would suck the hell out of your phone.
There're so many smoother, faster, & better browser than chrome. (That's an opinion, as well as fact). Sync works for stock browser, we can make sync work in other browsers using plugins. HTML5 is more efficient in other browsers etc.
Either look for patched Chrome, or just use a different browser.
The heat issue, is not global. It just happens, & can happen to anyone any time. Let it relax after you've flashed the ROM, for some hours or days, it'll subside & never recur.
Cheers!

If its in PA, its in CM.
Camera & all other custom AOSP apps are handled by CM. Any issues in those, better check out CM discussions thread.
Hi
Guys we all know some apps dpi are just not compatible with ultra, well its nobody's fault if it all ends well. Some of you probably know this fix but for people like me who didn't below are the issue and the fix
Issue: The text box in skype gets cut off i.e we can call, voice call etc but just can't text anybody. Its even worse in landscape!
Fix:
Prerequisite:
1. Root
2. Always backup
Method 1.(I dont prefer)
1.Use an app in google play store to change the dpi, drawbacks is it will affect the whole device i.e everything gets tiny.
Method 2 (I prefer)
1. Install xposed installer from HERE
2. within xposed download and install App Settings
3. Run App settings search for skype and then change screen dpi to 800x1280, hit save.
thats it the text msg box will reappear without changing the size of the font.
Yes there is just an apk you could rather install without going thru xposed installer but then again i suggest everyone to experiment & discover mods present in xposed installer.
Or just rotate the screen and boom it's there?

Well, hello left hand i suppose? Yeah not to discourage you to fix portrait issue, but to do rooting and installing Xposed just to fix such issue is not worth it imo.. Just move that lazy left hand and problem solved. I have sounded to them in Play Store though through my Rating Comment so while i agree it is irritating to have the portrait issue, but it's not worth the time to fix it by rooting and such. Maybe the better solution if you customize the Skype apk and post it right here so unrooted people can gain the advantage too.

I never checked back on this thread until I got an email today.
Not to sound rude but mate I seriously dont need your encouragement either. I was just trying to help. Skype will eventually fix this issue. Its pointless decompiling, editing and uploading for me. Most of the users have root and Xposed module is widely used. Moreover 'root' has been clearly stated as a prerequisite item in the OP.

Well i was just stating the obvious, put it into landscape and it's fixed, use that two hands of yours. There are a lot of unrooted users here you know (me included, due to Z series rooting hassle) so i just put it up right there so anybody can realize that. I was not aware of this issue until using Skype unintentionally in landscape, so to save anybody's time who hasn't done rooting, just go landscape bud, nobody ever complaining about playing their game in landscape and plus, just as what you said, they will fix it anyway, so why the need to kill the flies with a bullet?
But then again, no offense for you and i apologized if i have said something in a wrong manner, case closed.
Thanks a lot for this!
I have to say that I use Skype a lot, and this was a true issue for me.
This is XDA after all, so a solution using rooting is perfectly acceptable, and it is just a matter of what you want to do with your own device. (also root is reversible, isn't it?)

I should apologize too. Lets hope someone comes with a better solution for users without root.
Take it easy mate.
One of the (bad) solution is to use the version 4.0.0.22082, the last version that lets you choose between phone and tablet UI yourself. (you can find it if you search for the APK)
Now Skype is at version 4.7 I believe, so yeah, that's bad ^^
You can also try IM+ pro, which lets you connect to skype, is better with the battery but really is not reliable when it comes to the quality of the connexion (also isn't free).
Yeah, I researched that a lot, haha!

So it's the reason why I told you that it's really a mess to use it in landscape mode.
And it isn't a bug, but a decision of Skype to provide the app like that.
I had the same issue with the Ascend Mate, now with the Xperia Z Ultra.
So I'm sorry but it seems that you're not a real phablet user and also a real Skype user or you must have amazing hands ! Please share your picture from the guiness book !
Otherwise, if you follow also the community forum of Skype, you can see that we are a lot to complaint concerning that, and we will continue !
One thing I found, since I'm using Skype a lot for work, and I can't escape it, is to use Swiftkey keyboard (and probably others).
Not only it's a great keyboard normaly, it also have a "split" layout where the keys are reachable by thumbs on both sides of the screen.
It is the only way that Skype was actually usable before I found this thread
Today all vesion old can't connect to Skype, update to v.5xxx not show reply text... set dpi in appsettings it's very big!

For the life of me I can't remember how to 1) change the weather on lock screen to show Farenheit instead of Celsius and also, 2) how to keep screen on when charging.
Can someone remind me how to do this on this ROM please?

Hi everybody !
I have 2 problems with Epinter ROM actually (it's an amazing ROM by the way !!).
First, in the e-mail app, when I want to switch between my accounts with the drop down button, the app crash automatically (I had to install Gmail instead...).
Then, I just realised that calls don't work in another country. I just moved country and I can't call or receive any call from anybody (it worked in my country). Only the messages work and I absolutely have to make calls
I'm pretty sure that the problem comes from the ROM (or the kernel-2014_03_21_23_51_cm10_1), because I had the Neutrino 3.02 before, and I never had this problem.
Thank you in advance !
So to summarize - you're running an alpha-stage experimental ROM, and then you complain you have problems you didn't used to have on a stable ROM.
Clearly you either didn't know it's an alpha-stage ROM (in which case you should have done much more reading before any kind of flashing), or you don't know what "alpha-stage" means and who it is intended for.
If you want full functionality, stay away from any 4.0+ ROM. This has been clearly stated countless times in dozens of threads.
Well ok... Where do you see that I complain... ? I just ask if somebody had this kind of problem and resolved it... Is it wrong ?
It just comes off as complaining. Sorry if I misunderstood. Still, like I said, this is an experimental ROM, it changes almost every day (the kernel does anyway), there are countless variations of it (based on what kernel you're using), so it is probably too volatile and unstable for anyone to give you any usable advice.
Yeah maybe it seemed to be a complaint because it's when you need something there is always a problem (moreover, I'm not a native English speaker as you've probably seen).
I understand perfectly that I'm running an alpha ROM, and by the way, I was surprised to see how it works good ! I just wondered if I missed any option which could solve my problem.
Anyway, thanks for the answer ravilov and congrats to the developers :cyclops:
Hi. I'm also running 10.1 with kernel from 03.27 (recently updated) and experienced some lag in flappy bird. I know it is not a big deal (unless you bet with your friends on better score but i did not have this issue on topsmart 2.3.7. I used to have a kernel from the 10.1 rom from december an that combiation also had this issue. Do you have any information why is it lagging? To be mosre precise, i experience the lag when tapping the screen. Sometimes the game is stuck even for about 1-1,5 sec. Your ideas are much appreciated!

Its that awesome thing that was just discussed above yours. ANY 4.0+ ROM with 3.1.10 kernel is ALPHA STAGE, meaning EXPERIMENTAL and has bugs, not necessarily intended for daily use (NOTE: I've said this before, the kernel is nearly at an official Beta Stage, so that daily use part is the general advice, not necessarily the case with us). If Flappy Birds, which is a game and not an absolute necessity for our device to work properly, is an issue or a "I gotta have it" type thing, downgrade back to stock.

ANY 4.0+ ROM with 3.1.10 kernel is ALPHA STAGE, meaning EXPERIMENTAL and has bugs, not necessarily intended for daily use (NOTE: I've said this before, the kernel is nearly at an official Beta Stage, so that daily use part is the general advice, not necessarily the case with us). If Flappy Birds, which is a game and not an absolute necessity for our device to work properly, is an issue or a "I gotta have it" type thing, downgrade back to stock.

He's right, but for the record, flappy bird runs perfectly on atrICS, as always has, despite the kernel version

I never got caught up in the popularity of that game, so I will say that I did not know that.
