[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Using Stock ...

I'm currently using the stock kernel, but I was using the KT-747 kernel for a while until they discovered the excessive battery drain (which has since been resolved).

If my memory serves me well, this entire flash/backup procedure should work regardless of kernel choice.

Also, regarding the other kernel, I would recommend you do a Nandroid anyway, and keep it for future reference. Reason? When you install the KT-747 kernel, it installs new Wifi and bluetooth files. If you simply reflash the stock kernel, I'm told that it does not re-install the previous Wifi and bluetooth files. You could be without Wifi and Bluetooth. If you restore the Nandroid, your old kernel complete with all pertinent files will be re-installed.

Also, when flashing the KT-747 kernel, ALWAYS flash the kernel AFTER you flash the ROM.

Mine was okay when I was using that beta.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jrock60:
ok so basically the KT-747 kernel is fine to flash for Rogers. I take it anything in the AT&T section is safe for Rogers then.

i appreciate the clarification and am really excited to try this phone out.

One last question, is it safe for me to backup my current apps and data on my X10 running gingerbread with titanium and restore them on my new phone or should I just start all over fresh?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizz0wn3d:
There shouldn't be any problems transferring the backups, as I did the same thing with my captivate.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Reasonably okay ...

Yes, you can flash it on a Rogers device. Concerning the AT&T section, for the most part, you'll be okay, but I can't speak for everything in those forums.

I haven't tried the restore function going from one version of Android to another; however, to be safe, I would simply start fresh. However, as pizz0wn3d said, he has personal experience, and it worked. So, the ultimate decision is yours.

Sorry guys. I just woke up. I ran inti a major issue last night. Att based users doing a full wipe then moving to the rogers rom will have a broken home button. I'm stumped.

Can someone confirm this for me?

Make a nandroid.

That is correct. there is no response whats so ever from the home key after wiping then installing rogers. BUT if you install att, then rogers with NO WIPE, it works just fine?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
@PeterHTC - I would highly recommend flashing the latest KT kernel, it runs really well and has zero negative effect on the battery. In fact, with the ondemand governor and 384-1500 setting, I'm getting noticeably better battery life. And the phone is quicker in general. Win-win.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] snotyak:
~kyan's at&t SGS3 ROM is based on the Rogers ROM and he had the same issues on early versions of the ROM. I stopped using it because I was one of the people having issues......but I don't think people talk about it there anymore so maybe he found a workaround?

I am going to check something for you now, I will report my findings :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Will try KT kernel, probably tonight

I'm going to try it again, but not until tonight. We're now trying to solve the "home button" issue.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaosMinionX:
Ok so heres a rundown...

Beta 7.6.2012 has no working home button if you >>> CWM>>>> factory reset >>>> wipe dalvik cache >>>> install ZIP. (which by most is considered to be a complete wipe of the phone since it gets /data /cache /system and dalvik cache by the time the ROM installs with the automated wipe of /system)

To get the home button working I installed 7.1.2012 (which works everytime even after factory reset / dalvik wipe) and then installed 7.4.2012 with only a cache and dalvik cache wipe (which does not work at all if you install it from a clean wipe; meaning factory reset, dalvik cache wipe, and format of system it produces broken text and menus) after installing 7.4.2012 I proceeded to do a cache wipe and a dalvik cache wipe and installed 7.6.2012 which resulted in a fully working ROM.

The issue appears to be in the /data partition clearing of a complete wipe; something you removed or that is not present in /data of the Rogers ROM results in the ATT phone not having a home button.

EDIT: I would also like to add that the status icon for network no longer says "4G LTE" when connected to LTE; it only says 4G on 7.6.2012 ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
@PeterHTC sorry for the delay, I was about to reply with the long form of those abbreviations but it seems somebody beat me! Having an LTE toggle would be nice because LTE just (pardon my French) ****s on your battery. Right now I travel in and out of LTE coverage area for ATT and sometimes, I'd like to turn LTE off, especially if I am not using my phone, but still want to receive emails and other notifications. This issue is also present in HTC One X ROMs as well, and from what I gathered, this could be an issue with APN settings...something I'm not really ready to mess with. If you are in an LTE area with an ATT (even rooted) switching off mobile data only turns off the Edge/HSPA+ connectivity..which is weird because it's backwards compatible with LTE on gsm networks (as far as I understand).

You guys probably already knew that...I appreciate you answering my question. I was wondering what the main reason was for using their firmware/software over the AT&T base :)

Off topic slightly, could I get a screenshot of the dialer/phone answering interface? Is it the the same as stock?

Thanks again for all the work you guys put into this...I look forward to the next update. I'm probably going to b flashing DietICS when I root this weekend or exchange my blue for a white one. I don't think the color of the Galaxy S3 matters when it comes to heat but...it feels like mine gets warm pretty quickly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
Dialer interface is stock at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yellowfddriver:
Yay. I hope it stays that way. With the exception of how Samsung did the Facebook contact list spam, I actually like how the call pickup/dialer, contact splash after call looks. It is quite convenient. The whole reject with text is very useful and necessary for work :). Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spdapimp217:
This was really helpful so thank you for the clarification. Last night I tried for like 30-40 minutes without success. Now I know what actually works because I really wanted to try the ROM. Can't wait for the next version!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Regarding icons ...

Thanks for the great information. At least we (AT&T users) can get it working.

Regarding the icons, I had the same issue, but I did confirm that when it says 4G, you ARE on the LTE network. So, what I did is simply change the icons. Now I show LTE when I'm on LTE.

Does your LTE Toggle work?

Peter

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

The main reason for using he Rogers base is that AT&T has a habit of breaking/disabling certain features, which many believe are either very important, or critical to their everyday use.

In this regards, there are three features that are available as standard on the Rogers base, but do not work, from what I've been told, on the AT&T ROMs.

1) LTE Toggle

2) USB Tethering

3) Wifi Hotspot

The LTE Toggle seems to be the most important, especially for those who either don't have LTE in their area, or simply want to turn it off to save battery power.

We are working on all items, and are closer than ever, but it's very frustrating.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
Ok, rogers is giving me MAJOR HEADACHES.... thinking about just ditching it and starting a new att base.. thoughts?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
My thoughts ...

Here are my thoughts ...

Right now I have my unit working perfectly, so not having a Rogers base is not so important to me. I can continue to modify my existing custom DIET ROM ad-infinitum.

LTE Toggle is not important to me because I plan to always use the LTE connection. Therefore, this is about the only drawback I can think of for AT&T users who wish to turn off LTE. Perhaps, though, it's not important enough.

Can someone explain to me why simply setting up a new APN wouldn't work? By this I mean one that would not connect to the LTE network. I know that up here, with Rogers, I can use two APNs, one is for LTE and one is for everything BUT LTE. If you set up a different APN, one that AT&T uses ONLY for their non-LTE network, would this not effectively solve the problem. I think I read somewhere that it would NOT solve the problem. Comments?

You're right about Tethering. You can add it through additional software.

Peter

Addendum: Damn AT&T!

I've looked all threw the rom and I don't see anything changed that would effect internet spped? This phone has had a " hickup" with internet since out the box but its much worse on this rom did full wipe with format system and same thing??? The APN settings u posted actually made it worse, I restored my factory backup and now speeds werevgood agn . I flashed the other rom available and speeds were just like stock, Did u change something that would effect this? Cause I don't see that u did it looks 100% the same so makes no sense to me

Yes, It's a T-Mobile SG3 (SGH-T999), running on the T-mobile network, getting very nice data speeds. I only flashed this rom to see if it'd work and it does for me, very nicely I must say.

Edit: If you're using an AT&T GS3 on the T-Mobile Network, you might want to find out the APN Settings - that may help. Here's a couple of screen shots with my T-mobile APN Settings.

Special Request re Tethering & Wifi Hotspot

What I love about my Rogers' devices is the ability to automatically allow USB tethering and Wifi Hotspot. Both are always included as part of the standard ROM.

Can this feature be included into this ROM?

Is there something I can send to you from my device to help with adding this feature?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Summary ...

In summary ...

Rogers devices can add AT&T ROMs without a problem. Yes, certain features are disabled, but them's the breaks.

AT&T devices cannot add Rogers ROMs without significant, deal-breaking problems.

So, it only seems fitting to go with an AT&T base. Personally, I'd rather it be the other way around, but I do understand the unfairness with my preference.

I can accept AT&T ROMs.

Peter

P.S. Who knows? Perhaps in the not-to-distant future someone will find a solution to the LTE Toggle issue, the Tethering issue, and the Home button issue. It wouldn't surprise me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaosMinionX:

Im using Swiftkey so really not a big deal, but I was curious.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:

Although my ROM is a modified version of 7.6.12, I can't see how the differences could affect Swype, which is working perfectly.

Did you download/install the latest version from Nuance?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
Suggestion ...

Here's a suggestion ...

Go into your data/app directory and copy the Swype.apk to your storage card, or somewhere where you can keep it for future use. Then, if you ever need to install it again, you don't have to go through the installer method. Simply click on the apk and then go into your keyboard settings to choose Swype as your default keyboard.
