this rom is my rock solid daily.

but interested if anybody uses a camera app that is 'better' than that included in this rom ?

the pics I take I don't have time to fool with settings.

thanks.

12 more days of tax season frenzy, then will have some time to checkout xda again.

Finally got around to wiping my phone and starting w/ the latest version of the rom. Phone is working perfect, battery life is amazing....however, I cant update the PRL or my profile. I tap either one, and nothing happens. Phone ignores me.

I'm not gonna attempt so search through this many posts so I'm hoping its a quick fix.

Clark IS in school and I know it's the end of the school year so maybe he is just tied up and afterwards he will be back. I wouldn't call this rom dead just yet. Just saying...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkness22:
ROTFL

I was literally just typing thing out when you posted

"This exact thing happened with the last rom I had. The thread slowly dissolved into questions about updates which were never answered and eventually everyone pretty much realized the dev was never coming back. If that is indeed the case, meh...so be it. No big deal, there are other roms and while it would be nice to have a definitive answer (just so we can know it's time to start shopping around) if this is in fact the means to retire a rom then that's that.

Regardless, for myself this has been a really solid rom. I'll be using it as a benchmark for whatever comes next. Props to Clark + any contributors for taking my stock G3 to and entirely new level of performance and"

EDIT: I'll wait. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mart1an:
Yea it would be nice to have an answer but if he is that busy maybe he just can't. Like you said, try out some other roms and hope that one day this one will be updated. Or maybe one day with Clark's permission someone can take over development of this rom. This rom probably only has one update left anyway. With MC3 leaked(somewhat), that will probably be the last major release for the S3 since the S4 is here now. So there is only but so much that can be done with this rom at this point. It will always be one of my favorites for this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
This is a good Rom. It still is. Just consider it a Classic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkness22:
Excellent points!

I got a message from GooManager this morning that there's an update to my ROM available. Nothing yet, though, huh? No rush. I'm just wondering if other people are seeing this message from GooManager. I'm getting sick of Sprint asking me to install their update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wheeler711:
Go back to page 1374 there's a how to on getting rid of the update.

The easy fix: Flash this in recovery

I cant post links sigh. Google the below txt

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
Random commentary follows...

I noticed the phone was behaving more erratically over time (I flashed v3 on Christmas Eve and hadn't updated anything but the modem since then) - crashes, slower performance, battery drain and the MADDENING "system update" notification that I started getting several times a day.

So...I dirty flashed the ROM and it seemed to solve 99% of the problems. Actually, I was trying to do 3 things at once and ended up flashing v2 twice, followed by v1 three times and finally a flash of v3 (yes, I know it's stupid that I still have all 3 versions in storage on the phone), plus the MB1 AIO updater and my battery mod of choice.

Long story not-so-short, dirty flashing the ROM and modem AIO seems to have really cleared out a lot of the accumulated crap in my system and I didn't have to reinstall any apps or data.

Hoping it's enough to keep me going until v4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Thanks, I will try dirty flash. I don't get update messages but the wallpaper keeps reverting to ugly sonic and SwiftKey keeps reverting to Samsung. I have not needed to do much to this rom over time. Very stable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] myamex:
can't wait. I have screen of death almost everyday and I have to reboot to get the phone back. Mad annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Actually, I just wiped cache and dalvik and my issues disappeared. No dirty install needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
Wow, you're right, I completely forgot seeing that!

I think that's a testament to Clark's skills: on previous ROMS, I was always looking for the next update to fix whatever X, Y, Z issue I was dealing with...on this ROM, I'm so happy with it as-is, that the uncontrollable update "cravings" have mostly disappeared.

:laugh:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SF Steven:
for anyone that liked my idea of dirty flashing to resolve random issues, be careful: I've had more hard freezes (that required a reboot to resolve) in the past few days than ever before.

<sigh>

at least I've stopped getting the system update notification (fingers crossed)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
And my cache clean didn't do it either. I still revert to sonic wallpaper and lose SwiftKey. But I think less often.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Ok do we have any preview information for v4? Also what does the latest OTA update change? I been trying to find a link that talks about it but have not found one yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Nope.

This is all over this thread, and very recently. Do the work, do a search. Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Please refrain from discussing other ROMS here. It quite rude. This is the freegs3 development thread. If you want to discuss other ROMS please do so in a PM. The rom has not been abandoned and is only slow at updates due to a reason called "LIFE" Clark is busy with school and other personal things. This is also development, not chit chat so let's stay on topic please and thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned

Let's keep this thread ONLY for support of this ROM until Clark gets the update out

In otherwords keep it on topic here. There are enough OT threads in General if you like

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Mine has developed this freezing problem in the last few weeks as well. I'll pick it up and the display won't turn on. No buttons respond. Power button doesn't work either. I have to pull the battery. There is no common denominator for a cause either. I'm hoping an updated version will fix that. But I will more than likely be switching to a different ROM this weekend. I can't hardly expect Clark to keep supporting this when he doesn't even have the device anymore. He did a great job, but it's time to move on I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] falconey07:
Have you tried holding the power button until the device resets. Have loved this Rom for a while. Hope I don't have to switch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Yes. Usually it doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
Oh sorry about that, I thought that you could put setcpu to use (changing governors, profiles, etc. etc.) only if you had an overclockable kernel. I wasn't even going to overclock lol, I just thought that that capability was a prerequisite :p. Thanks for the clarification guys :D

Also, does that mean we can undervolt on this kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Joshb60796:
Excellent ROM and I love the new installer. Fantastic progress for android. I just read that cm9 has a work around for wallet and the Verizon variant just now got a hack for wallet. Any chance our genius dev here knows what they did? Here is the story

Does data roaming not work on this rom? Every time I roam it tells me data connection lost. It's enabled under roaming settings. I flashed blazer and all is well, re flashes this rom and data doesn't work while roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
That's been my exact experience so far but I'm not convinced it's rom related, although I haven't been on any other roms and only briefly on stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
I second this. Reflashed all different modems and Reflashed rom. Nothing works. Went back to blazer and I have data while roaming. I come back to 0.0.7 and have no data. On lg8 modem again. Other modems didn't work either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
But it works when I go back to blazer rom. That's what strange. Same modem lg8 but on this rom it will pop up with data for like 2 seconds and then disappear. I'll see a 3g icon and as soon as I try to do anything it disappears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kevkelsar:
The stock weather widget seems to be missing from 0.0.7, any chance we can get that back? If not, no biggie, I'm just glad the stock monthly calendar widget is still available. Thanks for the great work, I've been enjoying this ROM since I first got my S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Its there just make sure you install the Samsung Apps in the Aroma Installer :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paulg1981:
Any way to get back the vibrate when silent option on messaging instead of the check box for vibrate?

Also is the mms address fixed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kevkelsar:
Ah, my bad, I thought it was missing since the stock calendar widget was there but not the weather. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:

Changelog looks good for 0.0.8 I really like that you threw in the NOVA launcher option. Clark any plans for like a semi-transparent title bar for this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
v0.0.9 is gonna be the release with themes, battery icon mods, semi transparent title bars, you name it! Just give it a little time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Clark.

This is what I see and it only happens with your rom. I'm back on blazer now for the time being. Have my data back as I need it.

Maybe it's something funny going on with it like the mms thing. Data will show for a couple of seconds, then disappear for good. Then I have data when it's not roamibg

what radio/modem you on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
Same here but I can't bare to give up the rest of this rom. It's just too good. Clark is a machine. It will eventually get worked out I'm sure. I'm staying put.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
How about. Home +volume up and power
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
I'll try that next time it crashes. But that doesn't rectify the fact that it is happening in the first place and is going to have to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] travisd4est:
True. Just thought I'd give my two cents. Easier doing this instead of pulling battery.

Best of luck

Seriously why come into another devs thread and say we need to support other devs. That's rude, Clark 44 is an awesome Dev and doesn't even own the phone he supports. I personally switch roms all the time and still think 3.0 is one of the best no matter how old it is.

Hi, I can't wait for the update! I've been using this ROM for 6 months and it's pretty solid, minus a few freezes and reboots.

Sorry to be off topic but can I update my baseband firmware to MB1 using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29121008. I'm currently on LJ7 and I wonder if I should update the baseband on my S3 which is running freegs3 v3 with ktoonsez 4/11 kernel. If it doesn't buy me anything I'll leave it at LJ7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerjames09:
Yes. I'm currently running the MB1 baseband that I got off freeza's leaks.

New Samsung Update

Just to make sure, I do not want to install the Samsung update if I have this rom installed. is this still correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Love tax is correct. It's just a nuisance reminder and will fail if you try to install it. The message may, or may not come back.

You can change your build prop to say MD4, and that will make it go away for good.

Naddict made a flashable zip build prop in another thread, you can search for that if you wish.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
I made a flashable, you can find it in the op of tpr thread.. it will change your Rom name to tpr, but that's just cosmetic and won't damage or change anything else

I upgraded to a Note 2 and I want to get the S3 running this rom back to stock. What is the best method to do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cl0ck_w0rk:
If you mean unroot back to stock then follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726558. If you're talking about restoring the stock rom, then just wipe and flash one of latest stock roms that freeza posts just as you would any other rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
I don't wanna sound mean but Kenny specifically said, no more discussions of other roms, and this is also not the place to ask how you get back to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xcuter:
Why wouldn't this be the place to ask how to get back to stock. Its in reference to THIS rom. Not like i'm asking a random general question. I just want my phone back to how it was before I loaded this rom. If this is not the place please advise me. SEARCH function is not working at the moment so this is where I thought I should start.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
This ROM is not stock, therefore it is not a relevant question in this thread. How to get back to stock is, in fact, a "random general question." There is a Q&A forum for just such questions. Also, the search function works just fine if you open the page in the browser under settings.

It's actually very easy to find things via search ad long as you know what it is your looking for, or you're not a complete moron
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mastalee420:
I agree but some people are total noobs or may not be as experienced with dealing with this kind of stuff.

All dude was asking was how to get from Clark's ROM to stock and dude got blasted for it. This ain't the first time its happened and most likely not the last.

Instead if one helpful solution posted there are 3-4 replies of saying to search. Who's junking up the thread then? It happens too much.

At the end of the day other threads on XDA are more helpful than those in this one. That's why I've moved on from this ROM to another where the vibe is more helpful versus being scared to ask a question and be blasted to search.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xcuter:
Omg this is freakin nuts. I just don't want to brick my $500.00 device. Im not a tech genius and just making sure there wasn't a specific way to go back to stock from THIS particular rom. Wow Thanks for the help guys! If I'm breaking any rules asking this please feel free to ban me.
