So I finally have 10 posts so I can reply in here....This is my experience with v4 so far. I've installed twice, first time wasn't a perfectly clean flash (I forgot to clear data), second time was a clean install. Essentially same issues both times.

On boot it takes a while for me to be able to use my touch screen, and typically I have to turn it off with the side button and back on with the home button. Initially I had a lock screen wall paper and no home screen wall paper, although I have both defaults now. As with everyone else I don't have settings in the tray or a status bar. I tried to flash the file in update me but I haven't been able to get that to work, even after multiple downloads. I also tried to just install the APK from the zip, but since I can't get into settings I can't change the setting to install non-market apps.

On incoming calls my phone rings, lights up and the screen wakes up, but the only way for me to answer the call is to go to the home screen, click on the phone icon and hit return to call, where it brings up the normal incoming call screen.

My plan was to either take the files from the updateme status bar package and replace the ones in the zip for the beta and try and reinstall, or to just try and re-download the beta zip and retry installing the updateme package. Problem is I have windows 8 at home so it doesn't play well with my phone, unless that has changed.

And no camera like others have mentioned also. I think that's where I'm at so far.

Edit: So I tried to put those files from updateme into the rom package, and the install failed, so I'm sure I just did something wrong. I'm back on v3 for now while I re-download v4. Hopefully it was a bad download causing me not to be able to fix the status bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Flashed again and then flashed the status bar 3.0 mod, no status bar still. Do I need to flash the test zip too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
I have a tool called adb toolbox I found on sdx developers. Hasent been updated in a while but it should work fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
I got it to work, but can't remember if I had to flash that zip and then the mod. It still has a few bugs that he is working out too. It is going to be awesome when it is finished though!!!

4G in Minneapolis causes my phone to reboot

It is really weird but I was traveling to Minneapolis over the weekend from Dallas and noticed when I was in the Minneapolis area and my phone found 4G, it would then reboot my phone with this ROM. If I left it on 3G it would stay up just fine. I had bought 2 additional ANKER batteries and thought maybe they were the culprit, but I put back in the original Samsung battery and it would also reboot. The areas I noticed where it rebooted were at the airport and near the Best Buy headquarters.

I get a 4G connection here in Dallas all the time and it has never rebooted on me in DFW. While I was in Minneapolis we traveled to a lake near Brainerd and when I connected to 4G up there it wouldn't reboot at all. I find it really strange how my phone would reboot only the Minneapolis area.

Anyone else experience random reboots in the Minneapolis area?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tom_Neverwinter:
I would also like to confirm a problem with GS3's 4G

I have had this problem with the older builds as well (3.0.0)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loopytee:
saw this post from Clark in the s4 forum so I thought I'd post it here incase anyone was, like me, and Jonesing for some info regarding this rom

"Everything is cool guys no worries I'm working on both this and the S3 ROM. I've been working on anothee bigger peoject not XDA related that should get me a good cash flow going. Once that's done I'm gonna hit full throttle on this ROM.*"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Quit it guys the ROM will be updated no questions asked. Thank you and carry on with productive posts.

Cheers.

What modem are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bongohawk:
Looking at my Baseband's last 3 digits, it looks like I have LG8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
That's a pretty old modem. Try using a more recent one. You can grab one here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787677

That link doesn't have the latest MD4 modem, but I've been having battery drain issues with that one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bongohawk:
I found an MD4 zip file that I think fre3 created. I updated it and now on MD4. It will be kind of hard to test it since the problem was in Minneapolis and I don't plan on going back anytime soon. Oh well, at least have the latest and I can test it out here in Dallas. Thanks again for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
Well Minneapolis here has been having horrible service.

Any suggestions for a good radio for metro Atlanta area? I've never flashed a new radio, but have definitely been interested in doing so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
My suggestion is to just flash them until you find one that works well for you ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galaxys3man30:
If its not there when searching then clark has pulled it from the thread maybe have to pm clark to get it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hiphopgamer26:
i had a lot of problems with the beta, had to go back to 3.0

dont get me wrong i cant wait till the new one is released

key word: CANT WAIT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
thread closed ...Clark44, hit me or any other FSM if and when you are ready.

Until then, lights out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paulg1981:
It is, instead of a check box it is a pop up with the three options (never vibrate, always, only in silent mode). I believe it is pretty standard as I have seen numerous times :)

It is in gtalk, Gmail, and a few other apps and was in he stock messaging app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Is there a way that you can make it so when your headphones is plugged in no sounds are made like text message, email.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I will work on that for v0.0.9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Can't ask for anymore then that man. Thanks for making us all happy lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaferkan:
Clark, I don't get any pm or anything on the test...was waiting but I guess you either you forgot about me, or haven't made the test yet...I was thinking of getting ride of the default launcher by Samsung, and would rather get a more customizable and yet simple launcher, any idea? what should I get...btwn my eyes on APEX launcher....anyone want to take a shot, and help out here....or perhaps Clark can option it as default, when flashing...

thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jb8301:
Thanks for the heart attack man....sheeze...lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Apex is in fact one of the options for launcher when installing via Aroma.

Also, as far as testing goes, I'm not sure about PMs, but I know Clark44 opened a Twitter account and released the last test build there, though the link was only up temporarily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Updated second post with Boot Animation Previews that will be included in UpdateMe app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I just flashed a stock LG8 ROM and that option is not there in the messaging app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] civicstyle01:
anyone know if this has incall recording feature in this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Look in post 2 and download the add on to restore it. Flash in recovery and you will get call recording back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paulg1981:
Hmm, must have been changed in the last update. I never flashed stock only yours and I assumed it was due to the edits for other options in messaging. My apologies and thanks for checking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I will add it to the to do list for v0.0.9 though :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcastel2:
Hey Clark,

I am experiencing the roaming issue and I can test out the new build. Can you PM me the build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
PM me your gtalk please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jefsong:
Has anyone experienced their voice mail not working with this ROM? When someone leaves a message I am never alerted. Visual voice mail doesn't work either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
VM AND VVM work perfectly for me. Try rewiping and reflashing or wait for v0.0.8 and report the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jefsong:
Will do. Thank you. Looking forward to 0.0.8 btw :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robbyr:
I tried the Update Me and Update Me Smartphone edition with no luck (no configuration available). I am assuming that this will be supported with the next update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Morning all, see the posts from last night...

Did Clark ever get the latest test rom out? the one with the fixed roaming data? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I'm testing along with a few others. So far very stable and quick. Everything I've checked so far has worked well. I don't have lte so I won't be able to test. Also cannot test roaming as Sprint signal is normally pretty good around here.

_______________

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Jealousy! Hope it gets published today then! Need roam data for me. :)

Edit: newsflash! Clark, others... For the record. The stock DeOdex LG8 rom (freeza) is also doing same roaming data thing, at least with LG8 modem anyhow... Wtf??

Edit 2: Nvm. Updated prl and profile and the stock rom works with data... Sorry...

:confused::confused::confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robmiller:
I have not had any issues with roaming on current test build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Don't rub it in..:p:p.. Clark... Please gtalk me the link? Or am I too late? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] treedog5:
Hey guys i know this is a little off topic but i am currently using this rom so i thought i would ask.. does anyone every notice that if you toss your phone down or shake it, it makes a sound?? this is annoying the hell out of me. sometimes when im walking and the phone is in my pocket on silent mode it will make this sound from the vibration from my foot steps. i have all the sound options turned off in my settings but it won't stop.. any ideas?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Wish I saw this last night. I could of downloaded and tested today. I'll be in a no sprint zone today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nkawal:
I'm testing as well and so far no issues. I also cannot get it to roam today as i have excellent signal with the latest radio. I also selected the nova launcher thru the aroma installer. Its sweet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Yeah.. I dl'd a "private" test also. But it was before he fixed roaming data... Then he fixed... I went to bed.. Woke up and see he fixed it and has a new test build... Now I am having a hissy fit... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

:D:D:D

Peace...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nkawal:
hahaha. me too. I downloaded the 7/31 and installed. Then i woke up and i see 8/1. I downloaded and about to flash dirty since everything is already set back up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gio2178:
Man ive been going crazy at home flashing radios up and down. Good to know the reason my roaming data dosnt work is because of my rom :( Hope this gets updated today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Medic1013:
I other night at work I noticed the roaming issues like others. I work out in a roaming area and get 1x data but Monday night when I went to work I couldn't get any data working. As much as I messed with the settings all it would do was flash the 1x symbol for a second and disappear. I assumed it was the radio but reading others with the problem seems like it could be rom related.

I'm heading to work tomorrow morning hopefully a fix is out or maybe I could jump on the testers bandwagon:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
You have link? PM me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Not test build for you lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Ouch!

Noticed that by using "the other guys" rom... The fact that roaming data works also has an indirect benefit for battery life. So I would expect once 008 is out, those of us who were having data roaming issues will also profit...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stashu11:
I'm new to this ROM. I'm buying a Galaxy3 this afternoon. I have the Ver 0.0.7 (7/27) downloaded already, in preparation for installation after rooting. I see there is a pending new release coming out soon with a data roaming update. My questions are: is the new release coming out in the next day or two? Would this new update feature let me upgrade without having to start all over again?

Thanks,

Stan
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
It is not nice to ask when the ROM is coming out. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mahootzki:
Can't answer the 1st one, but you should be able to flash update over 0.0.7.

On a side note, if it where me I would wait even if it's a few days (which I hope it's not....)

sent from Brooklyn NY using a Jelly Beaned Galaxy S lll
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
We can only hope! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Bambino is right, ETAs are usually frowned upon by devs, and for good reason. All devs hate ETAs, but especially those that don't get paid for their work.

Anyway, I was in the same boat as you a few weeks ago, had everything downloaded on my laptop to root and ROM my phone and it was, less than 10 minutes after I opened the box. However, make sure you boot the phone up at least once before going through all that and update your Profile and PRL to ensure you have a data connection. I skipped this and it lead to having me call Sprint and get a fix that way...no bueno. Make a few phone calls, browse the web using Sprint's cell connection, not wifi, to ensure everything is good.

Then you can start with rooting and getting a ROM on there.

If 008 drops before you get your phone, that's good, so long as it's a full ROM. Clark may release an update first (to go on top of 007) and a full ROM later. Just know which you have. If 008 doesn't come out first, put 007 on there and then just upgrade to 008 when it comes out. You won't lose all your stuff when upgrading, but make sure you create backups using Titanium Backup or something of the sort before putting a new ROM on in case you choose to wipe data before flashing.

A good precaution is to always create a nandroid backup before changing anything. If anything goes wrong, you can always restore it and you're good to go.

Have you ever put ROMs on a previous phone? Do you know what you're doing? I ask because you want to make sure you READ a lot (I mean, A LOT) before jumping into this. You're risking your phone so make sure you know what's going on before you get all willy nilly and then blast everyone here with questions that quite possibly have already been answered numerous times.

Best of luck and those in this thread are always here to help. We're a good, mature bunch and will treat others with respect as long as they at least have a semi-clue what they're talking about when asking questions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Hayzoooz... You are wise and caring... This is sage advice that needs to go in many threads... I got flamed in another thread for providing similar advice, but the painful truth hurts. Good work! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Good work indeed Hayzoooz. I wouldn't of went any further then saying it's not appreciated to ask when it is coming out. I rather someone ask here and there about a ETA then someone constantly flaming someone for a honest mistake.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
So, is there an, I don't know what you call it, estimated time of arrival for this ROM? Do I need to wipe caches? ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Yeah, the interwebz are full of people just looking to lash out on others for no good reason, other than the fact they hate their lives and hide behind a keyboard. At least, that's my assumption. Thankfully we don't have them in this thread but if Clark keeps putting out work like he is, they'll show up eventually because the ROM is that good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
LOL! Really? Read the previous post lol. It is not nice to ask for a ETA on a ROM. It's like asking a woman how far is she from having a baby when she isn't pregnant lol. Something you just don't do. On another note though you do need to wipe cache and dalvik and reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
I was kidding, bro. ::wink::
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nkawal:
Yes. Whenever the OP decides to release it. Seriously, didn't you read the previous post.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
All funny... This thread is fast becoming one with a close knit group of rom forefathers.... Bet in year... Most of us will get honorable mention (?) for being part of one of the best GS3 roms. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] texagg01:
The humor in shinesthru's post was that he didn't ask for an "ETA". Instead he spelled it out. Hahaha. And provided the proverbial wink to indicate he was joking. I got a laugh out of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Ok, I am not going to keep cluttering the thread with banter after this. I am a total noob when it comes to hacking Sammy devices, but I have been around for a while on the OG Evo forums and have learned a lot about Android in general and these forums. I know not to ask for ETAs, and I do my best to read up on everything I can (not just the OP, because Google is our friend) before I start asking questions. I can't contribute much, but I will try and share my knowledge, albeit pretty limited.

That being said, while I am so thankful for how receptive Clark44 has been to getting feedback, I think we should cool it a bit on feature requests. It is one thing to give feedback on the functionality of the ROM, it is another to ask the developer to add any and all little features we like from other ROMs. I can imagine that after a while, it might be a little annoying to hear how great this ROM would be if it was more like another ROM. Maybe there could be another mode to request features that would keep this thread clean, and stick to feedback related to the ROM itself.

I could be wrong, however. Clark44 may have no problem with this. I just want us to be aware that this forum is about development, and this thread is about Team Sonic's fantastic ROM, which they have built for free. Clark44 and other developers really don't owe us anything, and we should all be grateful. Cheers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Do not go off topic guys. I am working my hardest to supply the test build to people who can confirm roaming data working. I only got 1 person to say it's fixed. I need one more. Any takers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bauer2:
This ROM has been outstanding since day one. I'm really looking forward to .8 because I work in a black hole for service it will be nice not to have to walk outside the building to use my phone. Anyway just wanted to Say thanks for all the hard work Clark44.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
On a side note ANYONE still using CWM please flash TWRP. I will not be Supporting CWM Recovery and any who asks for help and claims they are on CWM you won't be helped. At least not by me. I will make a notice that you need to be on TWRP in the OP for the openrecoveryscript UpdateMe uses. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wacky2bakky:
Yes, I will give the test build a try. My roaming data is currently working on 0.0.7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Medic1013:
Tomorrow morning I go to work in a roaming area. Currently running your latest build and I get no data on 100% roaming. I'm willing to test for you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Can you roam NOW?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Yuuup.. Always.. Keep me in mind for all testing! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Medic1013:
No not until tomorrow morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Respond to gtalk! :eek::eek::eek:

Damn. Alright. I need someone who can test roaming now. Sorry.

Here is the link to the Sprint version of TWRP

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/107

I just downloaded and installed it using GOO Manager and it is a snap. UI is great as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Wouldn't work for me at all. Said it was installed. So I went to recovery and it was still cwm.

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
Once it told me that download was complete I rebooted to recovery and there it was. I even did a compressed backup to the SD Card with it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMSpilot:
Just switched to TWRP installed from GOO worked perfect. Compressed backup with data all done. 566 seconds!!

Love TWRP

Thanks Clark!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Dont thank me for TWRP thank TeamWin!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I just put it on there as well. The only question I have is the option about Formatting Data...is that like a data wipe, or is that like a format /data which bricked a handful of our phones a few weeks ago with that format all script?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Hey clark44, didn't know if you still needed it but here is the bool in framework-res/res/values/ to hide keyboard icon in statusbar

<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">true</bool>

True will show it, setting it to false will hide it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Format data is the same thing as wipe data. Nothing to worry about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigant262:
Did you try doing this?

Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will install the recovery automatically
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Did u do a dirty flash over another rom? Just curious because maybe that's the reason your data works while roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lnchbx13:
I sent you a PM Clark, but I tested and data worked for me while roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMSpilot:
Will do!!! Thanks for suggesting it!!! I am also happy to test roaming and any new build!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] terence74:
Twrp

Is that more reliable than cwm and does it have usb mount.

Is twrp the recommended recovery for this rom.

Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Is it recommended for this ROM? Why do you think we are talking about it?

Can we move the questions about TWRP to the TWRP thread, please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I received constant and numerous conformations of data while roaming working with my latest fix so I guess its time. OP updated and ROM uploading now. No one download anything until i give you guys the ok.

Feel free to help me get my Nexus 7 and hit the donate button. Every penny is appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
TWRP is recommended for this ROM and is the only recovery i will give support to. Sorry but CWM is just too unstable and doesn't meet the ROMS needs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lnchbx13:
Are there any changes from what I tested out an hour or two ago?
