Used all versions, everything working, but having battery drain for unknown reasons (kernal or rom), so I decided to start fresh... Went all the way back to stock with stock files from samsung-updates, then rooted no trip, installed recovery, flashed insecure kernal, then 7.6.12 version, no WiFi or BT, wouldn't turn on, network and data fine, imei correct, but all was working before the journey to stock and back... so factory reset, and flashed 7.4.12, no text on bootup... back to recovery... factory reset again... flashed 7.1.12 still no working wifi or bt... data and network fine... downloading the stock rooted cwm rom and kyanROM just in case (need to try it anyways), and will also try a few other things... except break it LOL... will post back what fixes it...

flashing stock kernal has fixed it... phone's definately a little finicky with how things are done, ill give it that...

You should be fine after that.

7.4.12

When you reject a phone call with a txt msg it looks like it works, but doesn't actually send or show up in the msg app.

I've been using your ROM for a few days and thats the only thing i've found so far.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
I think I know some of the problem ...

First, I'm finally back. Sorry for being away for a while.

Second, there seems to be an ongoing consensus in the KT kernel forum that there's a significant battery drain issue with the KT747 kernel. JDBeitz, perhaps you can remove it and go back to a stock kernel.

Third, my tests with a modified version of your ROM did not work out at all. I could never get out of the boot screen. As of this moment, I'm back to a stock ROM with stock kernel.

Fourth, concerning v7.6.12, I simply could not get wifi to work. :(

Peter

Addendum: For JDBeitz: Please educate me. What happens if you simply take your ROM, remove the existing system directory, and replace it with all the Rogers stuff? I tried this but could never get the device to boot. It would stay at the boot screen. Is there something in the META-INF directory that I need to change? Is there something in the Rogers system directory I need to change? HELP!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Did you ant any point flash the ROM after KT Kernal? That would break wifi and bt because of the updated drivers in the kernal being overwritten by the rom...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Pull the apk from stock rom or one of the other roms that have it here. Place the apk in the system/app folder via adb or a file explorer. Reboot and enjoy, although when I tell it to play a song it just crashes.

Anyone else unable to change lockscreen wallpaper?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
You may be right ...

You may have a point. Now that I'm back to basically stock everything, I'll try it again and let you know.

Peter

Addendum: Doesn't the latest version of DIET ICS use the KT kernel?

Addendum 2: Aha! Now I understand. I must have had the KT kernel installed BEFORE flashing the new ROM. Since, I believe, the DIET ICS ROM does not affect the kernal at all, and seeing that I had the KT kernel installed after the flash, it means I MUST have had the KT kernel installed PRIOR to flashing the ROM. :)

Addendum 3: WOOHOO! Wifi works! Now let's test the LTE Toggle ...

Addendum 4: Well, I don't think LTE is working. The Toggle option is there, but when I have it set to LTE, and after doing a few speed tests, it seems I'm only getting H+ speeds. Now this is a deal-breaker, but everything else seems to be working so far.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
I had both problems... ended up asking in the KT thread... gotta flash the Kernal last, or else wifi and bt will be broken.... and I did the whole process of wiping, starting over, etc, but all it really needs is the stock Samsung kernal, then you can do whatever...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djkinetic:
ya i kno, i shoulda just pulled the stock kernel out of the odin tar i got, but eh figured a clean slate is best, so flashing stock tar in odin then 7.1 to 7.4 to 7.6 gonna give kstoonez some time to work out all the issues on his kernel b4 goin back, 100-28 percent in about 6 hrs is no bueno lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
I hear that.... I was thinking I had to reset batt stats or something after I saw my phone was at 35% within a matter of hours after taking it off the charger! I was certain it couldn't be right, but then I saw everyone else having issues and went back to my 7.4.12 backup....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Hallelujah!

Well, it seems I have fantastic news.

I tweaked JDBeitz's 7612 ROM, and now the Data Toggle is working, and it even works? I did tests on both LTE and 3G/H+, and the speed tests reflected the change in data connection.

Wifi is working!

I tweaked the SystemUI.apk file to bring back ICS blue in the notification bar. Here's a screen shot:

I removed Trebuchet (don't like it), and added Nova Launcher.

I also added ES File Explorer.apk and SpeedTest.apk

I will send a link to JDBeitz later today (will take lots of time to upload) for him to download and test/tweak as he wishes. Sorry, folks, but this is his ROM. I will not send the link to anyone else. Furthermore, I could never have done this without all his work. You'll have to wait for him to release his version.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manny05:

If, by gs3 launcher, you mean the standard SGS3 Touchwiz launcher, it's already there as the base launcher.

Peter

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

There doesn't seem to be the phrase LTE when you're actually on the LTE network. From what I can tell, it simply says 4G. When you're on HSPA, it says either 3G or H+.

I prefer the LTE notification, and will add this before I upload the file for JDBeitz.

Peter

Addendum: I realize that some of you may be thinking, well, if you are not showing LTE, then how do you know you're connected to LTE instead of simply 4G, whatever that means. Well, when I did my speed tests, and it said 4G, I was getting about 28Mbps UP and 14Mbps DOWN. Now that's certainly NOT 4G ... it's LTE.

Just to be safe, I'm going to hold off changing the data speed icons until I can do more LTE testing at home this evening. I get very good LTE speeds there, and that should confirm that I'm actually connected to LTE.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Although I learned about this a couple of days ago, with the help of great members here on xda, I didn't realize until now just how fantastic this suggestion/feature is ...

Before you flash this ROM, and just about any ROM for that matter, as always, do a Nandroid.

Now here's the great part. The moment you finish flashing the new ROM, do NOT leave recovery. Go back to the main recovery screen and perform the following:

Select backup and restore

Select advanced restore

Select the Nandroid you just performed

Select Restore data

Select Yes - Restore data

Now simply wait!

When all is said and done, and you are back in recovery, reboot. You'll be amazed. Every setting, every app, basically everything will be restored. There's really nothing more for you to do but enjoy your device with the new ROM.

It worked perfectly on my unit.

Peter,

.#1 thanks for all the time you are putting into this!

.#2 I am 99.% sure they is a way to actually see what band your modem is on. I remember seeing HSPA 11 (I don't have LTE where I live yet). That might be a better/more definitive way to know what icon should be showing when.

I'll go see if I can track down where I saw that output.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Yes, please let me know ...

Yes, please let me know about band identification. That would truly confirm things. (Addendum: I think I found it. It's *#*#4636#*#*)

And you're welcome. I get as much pleasure from helping others with this as I do with getting my own device exactly how I want it. Hallelujah to Android. Phooey to Apple. ;)

Peter

Addendum: It seems that *#*#4636#*#* only provides the UMTS frequency band ... not the type.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
It shows the band info in Status as well and is updated in real-time...

ETA: ok I got this app from the forums here:

On it, it says Network type: HSPA: 11

I do not if this should/does change when you toggle through Edge, 3g, h, h+, LTE but you might be able to test it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Yes, LTE is working ...

It works! It also updates in real time.

When I toggled GSM/HSPA only, and 3G shows in the status bar, the code is UMTS:3. When H+ shows in the status bar, the code is HSPAP:15.

However, when I toggle back to GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto), the code changed to LTE:14 every time 4G was showing in the status bar.

So, that confirms it. It works!

Peter

In order to change the sms app to the stock, I have so far, to no avail done the following steps:

1-Grabbed the secmms.apk from stock and pasted it on app with root explorer.

2-Set the permissions to rwrr (read/write for the first, and just read for the next two). Only have 4 boxes checked in total.

3-Scrolled down to change owner. Pressed that and then selected root on both slots.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
I'm beginning to think that build.prop may have a lot ...

Well, I'm back.

I've been scrutinizing the build.prop file, and what really surprised me was how much of a problem can be created simply by removing the letter "M" in the model number of the following line: ro.product.model=SGH-I747M

I changed the line to ro.product.model=SGH-I747, and tried to reboot. It would not reboot. The device simply didn't work.

If removing one letter from the model number in the build.prop file can cause such an issue, then I'm beginning to think that this file is somehow connected with the overall issue. Perhaps there's some kind of check within another area of the system to make sure that certain entries in the build.prop file match data in another file, specifically, model numbers, build numbers, baseband numbers, etc.

I'm now wondering if there's a way to "cheat" the system.

Any ideas?
