I was taught ...

Thanks! I was taught very early, especially early in my business career, that it's best to admit mistakes IMMEDIATELY. If there are consequences, so be it. I can accept that.

What I was also taught was, if I have a problem with someone, I deal with such problems in private. If dealing with it in private does not work, then going to the next step is okay. However, and I can remember a specific situation very early in my career that I've never forgotten, if someone has an issue with me, they should NEVER simply say it to me with other people around. The vice president of a company about 30 years ago blamed me for something, yet he did so very loudly so that everyone in the office heard it. It was from that moment I decided that I would never do the same thing. I would talk to the person in private so as not to subject the individual to unnecessary embarrassment or hardship. If they then admit it, it's resolved, and no one else has to know about it. THAT'S how you deal with such issues.

Agreed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NunHugger:
Was just going to post in Kyans thread about dealing with it in private....until I read your post. Props to you for admitting your mistakes. What you did was minor. He has done no "groundbreaking" work that you tried to claim as your own. You used his rom as a base to build from. If anything, he should be flattered someone deemed his work worthy of being that base.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
can i flash this rom on my gs3 with 23% battery or wait till i have like 100%?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NunHugger:
You will be fine. I have flashed as low as 8%. Although not recommended....it worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nay12x:
okay i flashed but when i go into about phone it still says 7.11.12
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:

The latest update themed or reg stock that you are uploading JB?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sram21092:
No need to lose faith in this rom. There was a mistake made, if consequences are given, then that's just how it is. JD and Peter have been working very hard to bring a great rom to you guys. Ive been using Diet ever since i got my preordered S3, and I love it. So keep slaving away on the rom :good::D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kyan~:
As much as I agree to this, a simple asking for permission goes a long way. But things seem to look brighter, so lets go back to business!~
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
I was uploading a fixed version but apparently kyan changed the innards of some apk files I was not aware of. So scraping everything for right now. I have to work the rest of the night. If peter can get something together, we'll upload it. If not, I'm off work tomorrow so I'll do it then. Sorry guys. >.<
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Yze:
Giving you a rep for this quote. Although very true, it is still tough to take in at first. Whether it is groundbreaking or not, it is still hard work that Kyan put in. The way Peter responded was 100% professional and shows absolute great character. As a designer, I see this all the time. After the smoke settles though, all I can really do is smile and be flattered, cus as you said, when you realize your work was that good to have someone replicate or take as a base, it feels pretty awesome. :)

Dev on!

Hey guys,

I'm reposting this because maybe there were too many questions going at the time and I didn't get a hand, "I have a sms issue as well. I install the stock secmms.apk (from the "missing aps seccion"), but it won't give. I followed the same steps as I did for the build before this one (which worked) but I'm getting a "stop working unexpectedly" on this one. I already went at it a couple times; flash the updated rom twice, yes full wipe and whatnot. First rename the present sms to secmms.apk.bak then moved the stock secmms.apk to app, permissions rwrr, owner root root. Reboot. I'm I missing something?

I haven't been able to move to 7.11.12 because I like the stock sms gimmick (while you are texting you may approach the phone to your ear and automatically call the person).

Thanx!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
As long as you guys won't kill Mr, I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow night to release. I have a new ssd coming tomorrow so I have to set up my entire system again. Plus my 40 hours of week work plus school. This is starting to get a little tough. I'd like to start from a scratch rogers base rom again now that we pinpointef the home key issue. I'll talk to peter see what's on his agenda
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Take your time. School is more important. We appreciate all your doing. No rush. Of course Im speaking for myself lol. I'm still on 7.4.12 (Think thats right) Running way to smooth with no errors for me to update yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
Same here. 7.4.12 running fine with me. Some Gmail "issues", but maybe is not ROM related.

Thanx jdetz, keep up the good work!

Device Ringtones

Hello. I searched the thread but wasn't able to find any issues on this, but maybe I'm overlooking something. If so, please forgive me.

My issue is regarding the "Device Ringtones." My phone, after installing this ROM, is only listing "Andromeda" and then a "hangout_ringtone" for this option. Under the "Default Notifications" section, I have my full ICS selection of sounds.

Is there an .apk that has these files so that I can download them on to my device?

Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
No there is not. I'll include them in the next release though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamJC07:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zecstone:
For the life of me I cant find the download link for the latest version!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mentalmuso:
It was taken down
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bacuy82:
The 7.11.12 is still available for download as the latest.

As for the 7.17.12 version , it has been pulled from download due to an accusation made from "kyan" that dietics is stealing/copy/plagarized "kyan" rom as base, and it's under investigation.

As reported by other members, and if you can control the flash addiction, 7.4.12 has proven to be quite reliable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Yze:
its not under investigation, read a few pages back. its all been resolved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kyan~:
why are you putting quotation marks in my name? lol?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
For real. Let the drama go guys. Its old already. The situation had been resolved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sram21092:
What issues does the 7.11.12 rom have? Ive been using it since its release and it runs pretty solid. Battery life is great too.

Thank you ...

Thank you, not just to you, but to everyone for their support. What I did was wrong, and you an be sure it will not happen again. Now all I have to do is work feverishly on JDBeitz new AT&T version. The great thing is, I learned so much over the last several days, work that will make modifying and adjusting the theme of the new ROM quite easy, actually. For that I'm thankful.

You know, back in 1990, I was working for a Fortune 500 company here in Canada as the National Product Marketing Manager. That year, after having been nominated in the three previous years, I won employee of the year in Canada ... from a total of about 10,000 employees. I had wanted this achievement since I started working at the company, and I finally got it after three years. The best part is the plaque, which reads:

"Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it's the only thing" Albert Schweitzer

So, basically, when someone copies what you are doing, it can be quite flattering. However, I do not want this to take away from my mistake. It's just interesting based on all the comments I've read.

Peter

P.S. Although this is certainly not part of ROM development; however, please humour me. There's a great adage I heard years ago, one that influences me each and every day. Perhaps it can help to influence others, and even make their lives a bit more enjoyable:

"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Ralph Waldo Emerson

i'm sorry for posting misleading information, that is my fault for not reading everything, and reading is fundamental. i'm glad everything is solved and excited about the next great rom. thank you chef.

i didn't mean in any negative way, it's just my way of of being specific that you are a developer and that you name your rom after yourself. Please keep up the great work and your contributions to this community is greatly appreciated.

Hmm, 4:55am ... and I'm back at work. Couldn't sleep.

I'm downloading v7.18.12 now, and will do what I do as quickly as possible. Give me a few hours.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jstrayy:
Is it a no wipe update or do we treat it as a different ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jstrayy:
I wiped because of the size.. so there's my answer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
I would WIPE ...

As jstrayy said, I think a FULL WIPE is best, even though it may not be necessary. You could try flashing it without a WIPE and see what happens, but make a NANDROID first.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
Yes a full wipe is suggested. OK back to sleep :)

Hey JD the email apk is missing from the build. Other than that everything is smooth as butter. Only been testing for a short time though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Vgamer4550:
Great Rom, been running the new build since about 6am this morning. I will report any issues that seem to popup. A couple things I have noticed so far, the native email app does seem to be missing (as stated above) and is it me or do live wallpaper options seem to be missing? I cant seem to find it.

Otherwise great rom guys and keep up the great Romming, I'll keep everyone posted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] malinois16:

i'm still on the 7.11 build and it seems that there are no live wallpapers there either.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Vgamer4550:
I know for a fact, that I had live wallpapers going back a few builds because I am still running the Go Weather Live wallpaper that I chose from back then, the setting just kinda stuck as I updated my roms. Now tho, the option is missing. :) Just curious.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
And one more thing. That pesky ongoing wifi notification is a new API android uses called a toast notification. Its the same API used when the headphones are connected. I haven't figured out how to remove them yet but I do know its some heafty Smali edits :(

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gregen11:
I know if you disable "ContextAwareService" it gets rid of the headphone notification, though don't thank me, I saw someone else post about it a week ago or so. (Edit: I don't know if that helps, I just know it works and haven't seen any repercussions).

Also I have an issue that I didn't see anyone else post about here. When I try to install "AccuweatherWidget_Main.apk" or "MusicPlayer.apk" it says application not installed. I have unknown applications checked, so I'm not sure what's causing it, probably something small. Thanks for any help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] godfirst:
They probably need to be placed in the system/app folder and then reboot and should be good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
Can you elaborate on the context aware service or link me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gregen11:
Oh wow, fail... I had tried that earlier and still tried installing it after the reboot. I forgot that when you place it in the /system/app it installs it upon a new reboot.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] godfirst:
Lol, no problem. So how's the recent update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gregen11:
If you go to manage applications under settings and go to all, it will be called ContextAwareSettings. It's a 52 kB sized file and when you disable it (or freeze it in TiBu), it stops the headphones from showing the apps in the notification bar.

How come on my Lock Screen the Messages and Browser Quick shortcut went away? Now i only have Phone and Messaging? Is there a way to fix this? I've noticed it happened a few times when flashing roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gregen11:
Go to settings, security, lock screen options, shortcuts and change it from there.

Edit: Quick question: I have managed to get some of the apps that were removed working by placing them in the /system/app folder and rebooting, except for one. The AccuweatherWidget_Main.apk doesn't seem to add a widget in the app drawer when i put it in the /system/app folder. I have tried placing all three Accuweather apk's in there and that didn't change anything.

I love this rom so far, but the only thing I am missing is that widget.

Edit: jdbeitz, did you make the Headphone Shortcuts for Sgs3 app? If so maybe you could put a toggle in there for disabling the ContextAwareService.apk. I actually like the Headphone shortcuts now that I can toggle it (mainly for Awesome Beats), but for the people who don't want it that might be useful.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Yze:
Had a weird issue updating binaries with superuser. At the end of the update, it was failing to remount /system as root. Rebooted the phone and it is working normally now.

Is there a way to change the way the screen goes into lock? I'm not really a fan of the tv-box shut off style. =]

how do i add the email apk? it will not allow me to install it.

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdbeitz:
Copy it to sdcard/system/apps and reboot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kennonk:
You'll need to copy it using root explorer or something similar to /system/apps and set the permissions to

Owner: Read/Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

And you might have to reboot afterwards.

Uploading the first ROM ...

I have two versions of the ROM finished.

The first one does not have a black-influence theme. It’s pretty much stock, with bloatware removed, and annoying sounds taken out.

I’ve been following the thread, and I put all alarm and notification sounds back. I also added the voice keyboard and live wallpaper picker. I also added secEmail.

The second one is an all BLUE/BLACK theme, otherwise it’s pretty much the same as the non-black version mentioned above.

I am uploading the non-black version as we speak, but it can take a long time, as I mentioned a few days ago that my upload connection at work is extremely slow. I will upload the BLUE/BLACK ROM this evening.

Oh, the host files are also up-to-date.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
NEVER MIND! I had a live wallpaper on the 7.11 build, but that option is missing on the 7.18. Was that intentional? Is there a fix in the works?

Love everything else about this ROM. Apex runs very smoothly on it. It would crash often on the stock ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mk_ln:
still exists eh? i can confirm that I have that issue on 7.11.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Draelith:
Looking forward to the BLUE/BLACK. Did a full clean and factory reset before flashing 7.18.12 and things running smoothly. MMS seems to be working better when sending/receiving images. Pretty solid, as always thanks to you guys for burning the midnight oil getting it out. :)

Only thing so far that seemed odd was that I'm not able to key in any MMI codes from the dialer. Anyone else have that problem? I was just trying to check my firmware (have since installed Android System Info).

Coming from the Samsung Captivate and this is the method I've been doing forever. Just want to make sure I don't miss anything. Also, is it completely necessary to always do a Nandroid/backup if I don't care about losing anything?

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

Yes, the inverted apps will be available in a flashable file. I'm almost done. My plan, which I hope to complete tonight, is to have the base ROM with all apps in stock colours (status bar will still be in blue, though). I will also have a flashable zip file that will install a blue/black GMail in the system/app directory (needs to go there to overwrite the existing GMail), and a number of blue/black apps in the data/app directory. Anything in the data/app directory can be uninstalled through Application Manager, or any uninstaller. I will also include three launchers: Nova, Apex, and Trebuchet. The launchers will also install in the data/app directory, so you can uninstall the ones you don't want. The alternate apps in blue/black include Twitter, Facebook, DropBox, Google Reader, Google Plus, and YouTube.

However, I'm still not sure if the blue/black apps will retain their theme after being up-dated. Some do, but I haven't been able to test them all.

Peter

Addendum: I actually have all the files done and ready to upload. I'm almost ready to go home, so I won't start the upload now. I'll wait until I get home.

For JDBeitz: The base version is already in our dropbox folder.

Addendum 2: I almost forgot. There will be another flashable file with all bloat, most of which will install in the data/app directory, while some will go to the system/app directory. Some of them MUST be in system/app to work, so I had no choice.

Addendum 3: I've been working on this all day (haven't done any work at all with my company). I think I modified the ROM 17 times, so you can imagine that I'm getting a bit flashed-out. I'm saying this because there may still be some things that I've forgotten, all of which can easily be ironed-out. Specifically, the flashable bloat file. Some of the apps still need testing, but many/most are working once flashed. Some, though, I simply can't test because I'm in Canada with Rogers, so I can't test certain AT&T apps.

Addendum 4: Geeze, far too many addendums. I forgot. I will also have a small flashable zip file to change the stock settings to blue, including another small flashable zip file to go back if you don't like it.

Addendum 5: Going home now!!!!!!! I've been here since 4:55am.
