Woah.. Just checked my settings.. When I go to about device. It shows that my phone has been modified. It used to be normal. I have no idea what could have triggered this. Doesn't it mean I tripped my counter from 0 to 1? But how? I thought this could only happen with Odin... And I haven't used that since I rooted. And even then it showed normal and not modified.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Mine says that too and I haven't even flashed anything yet...just rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Moh_Jay:
Non it doesn't mean the counter tripped I read that it will change after you Odin flash the official rom for your device so don't worry unless you're dumb enough to return your phone with a custom rom still on it lol

"7.4.12 - Based off Rogers kinda sorta not really. "

If I am on Rogers network, am I safe to install this Rom. Or this Rom based on At&T?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] malinois16:
Yes this will work on Rogers. If you read through this thread you will see that Peterhtc has been using it for some time now.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

If you have busybox installed it will say modified. Not that it matters though as you can have your flash counter tripped and it still say normal or vise-versa. to answer your question, no it doesn't mean you tripped the counter. To check counter go into download mode and check.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
CAUTION ...

You're somewhat correct.

Yes, I have been using this ROM, but it's a modified version, which I've tweaked and submitted to JDBeitz, the ROM developer. Although this "new" version works perfectly on Rogers (Bell & Telus), I think there's still a problem re the LTE Toggle on AT&T devices, which we're trying to solve.

It's also true that I did use the the 7.4.12 ROM, and that it appeared to work well on my unit; however, you MUST follow specific installation guidelines as follows:

Reboot into recovery

WIPE EVERYTHING (important)

Flash 7.1.12

Reboot

Go through initial set-up until you get to your home screen

Reboot into recovery

DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING

Flash 7.4.12

Reboot

This is what mine looks like:

I'll am running diet ICS 7.4 and I was running the KT747 kernel until I flashed back to stock rooted kernel last night. I loved KT747 but I need my phone to last all day for work.

Apparently I do not have busybox installed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kyan~:
so if u data reset on this rom, there will be issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Please elaborate ...

When you say data reset, do you mean the quick method of restoring data I mentioned I few pages back? If so, there should NOT be a problem.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bobapunk:
Peter, I read your tip about using nandroid to restore app data, I am going to try that next time I flash a ROM. It seems much easier than TiBu. Has your method been confirmed to work when moving from one ROM to another, or should it only be used when upgrading to a newer version of the ROM you are currently on? Since it is restoring app/data, it sounds like it should be safe, just do NOT restore system/data!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Micronads:
I use it for a while now as well. Only time i had problem was going from ics to ginger bread and vice versa. It does not affect system or anything just your data folder so it should work across roms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
I had a question (or 2)...I just got my ATT GS3 and I'm trying to find a ROM to put on this beast.

Not that s-voice is any good, but are s-voice and s-memo installed?

Also, are the HW toggles still there in the notification pane? (Sorry...didn't see any SS of that)

I'm guessing this is a stock rom with ICS touches (like the status bar).

Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ForcedZucchini:
None of the "s" applications are included.

But the toggles in the notifications is still there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
I haven't confirmed, but ...

I haven't confirmed that it works when going from one ROM to another; however, as you said, you're only restoring the data/app folder, which isn't part of the system. When you think about it, what you're doing by restoring the data/app folder is simply automating the process of installing each app individually. However, until such time that someone actually does it from one ROM to another, some caution is in order.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
Bummer, I actually like S-Memo. It's not a terrible app at all. Still not a deal-breaker...perhaps somebody has a working .apk or a .zip to flash XD?

I'll probably be flashing this after work. Ty all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dennka:
How's battery life so far? I do not see any changes regarding this one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
I found the best way to do this is to download the stock deodexed rom, and leave it on your PC. Then whenever you flash a new rom where an apk you want is missing, you'll have the full list of apks on the stock zip you can grab from.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
It should work fine when going from one rom to another, if you look in the /data folder there isn't any rom specific files/data in there that would cause any issues. I have done it this way before, but I forgot about it... I used to switch back and forth from Sense to AOSP so I had different apps for each type, so I stopped using this method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Not much change ...

Battery life has never been an issue for me because, 80% of the time, I'm either in my office or at home, so I always have access to an outlet, and can plug in my phone. Therefore, I'm a poor candidate when it comes to an opinion about battery life. All I can really say is, it's no better or worse than stock.

Peter

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

I'd have to agree!

Peter

P.S. What I find so incredible about this method is the fact that apps are installed with all your settings intact. Also, the little time it takes to perform the entire process ... Nandroid backup, flash ROM, flash restore data ... all in about 10 minutes, tops.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
Thanks for the advice. You're referring to the stockrom posted in this forum right? Then I'd just unzip the file, go to system/app and pull the stock apks I want...and install like I'd install any other app (place on internal storage, navigate with root explorer...install)?

I'm still learning some of this stuff, so I apologize for the questions :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
That's mostly correct. But when placing an app in /system/app you just need to paste it in there and set permissions. You can look at the permissions of an app already installed to know what it needs to be set to. You do not need to select it and hit Install. On ICS, most times, you won't need to reboot for it to show up but it's always a good measure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
So I'd find the .apk I want in system/app (in the stock rom folder on my PC), and I could either put it on internal storage and install as normal, or place it into System/app on the phone, and set permissions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
Flashed over stock without wiping and no issues
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
No, you don't install a system app as normal. It only goes in /system/app then set permissions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
So if that's where (being /system/app) s-voice/memo are...then I just move the .apk file to system/app and set permissions?

And if they're not, I just install?

Sorry again, just trying to make sure I get this right.

Thanks :)

Yes, that's the rom I'm referring to. You wouldnr install them the normal way, though as they are system apps. You'll use Root Explorer, and then just copy them to the /system/app folder. Then long press the app, go to Permissions, and set them to rw-r--r--. If that doesn't make sense, just copy the same permissions from another file in the direcrory. Then reboot for good measure.

A few things ...

First, I do want to offer my sincere thanks to JDBeitz for all the work he's doing to make this a fantastic ROM.

Second, as you can see from my signature, I'm using a modified version of his ROM, and it's working PERFECTLY on my Rogers device. Everything works! LTE Toggle works, USB Tethering works, Wifi Hotspot works. I can't really think of anything that doesn't work over the last few days I've been running it.

About the ONLY thing I know of is the brief flash of the home screen during the CRT animation, but that isn't even an issue for me.

Three, for all my AT&T friends, I really do hope that JDBeitz gets the LTE Toggle issue resolved for you guys.

For JDBeitz: Did you have any success flashing the Rogers modem? Did it help? I'm curious. (I'm still trying to figure out why the LTE Toggle issue is creating such a problem for AT&T users)

Thank you for the quick replies. You'd think I could figure out these abbreviations. Perhaps I'm having a brain fart.

Peter

P.S. To answer the earlier question, about the only thing that works perfectly on the Rogers ROM, but isn't available on AT&T units is LTE Toggle. That seems to be the lone hold-out that we're working on. I also recall someone saying in another forum that the standard, built-in USB Tethering and Wifi Hotspot also do not work on AT&T units, which are also a standard feature on the Rogers devices.

When I say Rogers, I also mean Bell and Telus, as I believe they, effectively, use the same base ROM.

Peter

Addendum: While the LTE Toggle is of zero importance to me, since I prefer to always be connected to the local LTE network, I can easily understand why people would want the option to turn off LTE. This is why we are working very hard to solve this problem.

I am receiving my Rogers S III LTE today and before I flash this Rom onto it I just want to be sure that it will work on Rogers without issues.

Basically I just want to be sure that I have the steps correct and I will have my LTE service, tethering etc:

-Root

-Flash Recover

-Flash this Rom

Is that it and I'm done or do i need to flash additional files in order for this to work properly on Rogers?

Any help is appreciated as i am used to a completely older device that did not have LTE.

Thank You
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Wait for the new version ...

YES, you can simply do what you said above. Although the existing version of this ROM works well on the Rogers unit (I have it), it's mainly based on an AT&T ROM. Therefore I'd wait for JDBeitz to release the next version, perhaps today or tomorrow. Simply flash it and you're good to go.

The best I've had is WiMax. Considering I live right next to the tower it was pretty good, but I'm definitely looking forward to LTE. The AT&T rep said that it should be in my area by the end of the year!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Do this ...

Yes, usually you can simply flash a ROM up-date over the previous version; however, always check the OP to make sure. Developers usually tell you if you can simply flash over the previous version, or if you have to wipe everything first.

Even if you do have to wipe everything (my recommendation), there is a very simple way to re-install all your apps, and have all your settings back.

Here's the procedure:

1) Reboot into Recovery

2) Perform Nandroid backup (THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL)

3) Wipe data/factory reset

4) Wipe cache partition

5) Wipe Dalvik cache

6) Flash new ROM

7) Stay in Recovery and select "backup and restore" from main screen

8) Select "advanced restore"

9) Select the Nandroid backup you performed above

10) Select "Restore data"

11) Select "Yes - Restore data"

12) Once everything is done, Reboot

DONE!

After you reboot, your new ROM will be installed (check settings>About device), all your apps will be re-installed (with all previous settings).

The entire process, from beginning to end, should not take longer than 10 minutes.
