I was having problems with the TWRP where the file would stop downloading after I wiped cache and wiped dalvik. I kept getting this failed pop-up signal. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I never used TWRP and is sort of new to its functionality. I got a little frustrated and and went back to clockwork mod and everything worked beautifully. The only problem just like you said Clark you wont get the Updateme App. Maybe I shouldn't be asking this question, but is it possible you can get the Updateme App on this ROM with the use of using CWM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
It's impossible until Koush who made CWM incorporates Openrecoveryscript. I will try to do what I can but no promises.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigant262:
Was it a failed MD5? More then likely all you would have to do is just download the rom again and it should work. Happens sometimes. Or turn off MD5 checking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] messiah143:
I think I tried that and I still was getting a fail signal. Maybe I will play with it tomorrow to see if it will work. Thank you for the heads up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
in aroma, when i got to modems, modem-4 was selected.

if i tapped on that, it would have unselected it, and no modem would be flashed ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
No. I made modem a mandatory flash. Just choose the modem you are currently on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Added option in UpdateMe to restore Sprint Carrier Label. It's under UI Tweak's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nashdogg:
I probably would if sprint would give me an early upgrade but they play in hardball. So by the time my upgrade comes in march there will probably be more phones out and the SGS3 will be 8 months old. If I could today it would be the GS3 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mshnayde:
Hey guys. What has been everyone's experience with the latest modem? I went back to the LG9 modem as I think that one was giving me the best performance. What do you guys think? Also, I have noticed that the screen auto brightness has been really coming in and and out too much. Let me know what you think. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdwp16:
You could do what I did and call and complain like I did that I wanted my early upgrade and that you were never notified that they stopped pushing early upgrades :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I installed the Auto Brightness fix. A lot of users were asking for it so i implemented it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Just finished making On Screen buttons. There are options to install and remove. Choose what you want from the UpdateMe app :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carlosm83:
Thank you clark for your great work :D

SENT FROM MY freeSGlll
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Use the factory reset, not format data. Format data, will erase all media files, backups and sdcards. Wake up and read what your doing folks. It says it right at the top of the format data screen.

Clark,

Is there any way to donate you through the play store.? Many people have a balance there thanks to the Google nexus 7 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Haha i wish. I'm planning on getting it myself once I get enough donations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coorsleftfield:
I noticed updateme has an "app" just for collecting donations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
What do you mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
Just a general question... I'm not experiencing any problems and the rom is, as the thread title states, Undeniably Perfect. I was just wondering is it recommended to update PRL and Profile every time after flashing or updating a rom or is that something that "sticks" throughout flashes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Roms don't touch either one of those things so yes, they stick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Clark, Gtalk msg
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
I've made it a habit to update prl/profile after flashing a new modem (although aromas throwing me off :p)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stashu11:
I just installed this ROM This morning. Very nice and smooth. I wasn't crazy about the TWRP recovery stuff, but it's actually a very good thing. Thanks Sonic Team for putting together such a great ROM. I'll be donating soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Trust me... Twrp will grow on you... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
Yeah TWRP sucks (insert sarcasm here), let me count the ways... way too convenient, easy to see, giant touch controls, and stable. :laugh:

I FREAKING LOVE TWRP... almost as much as I love this rom. Thanks Team Recovery and thanks Clark44!

Problems with bluetooth?

Is anyone having any problems with Bluetooth?

I just flashed this ROM coming over from Blazer ROM and for some reason, my Bluetooth doesn't stream in my car. It will connect, but if I play audio nothing comes through. I tried re-pairing the phone and a few other things, but still no audio.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wacky2bakky:
No problems at all with Bluetooth. Actually No problems with anything! This ROM is perfect!!! Great Job Clark and thanks for the tester. Need any other testing, let me know.

Quick ? For anyone. Does anyone know if there are any inverted apps we can flash with this ROM? Looking for mainly a MMS app with inverted colors to match this ROM and any other main apps. I found an inverted Apps Zip but it was for CM10/AOKP only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Did you wipe before flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
You guys create a simple funny donation apk and post it in the play store

Sent from my SPH-L710...if some one helps you press the thanks button
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] y2kdread:
Yes, did a full wipe. Only thing I am thinking is trying to clear out all of the Bluetooth related settings in case the ROM didn't like something I restored over from Titanium Backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
That's most likely it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Haha that sounds like a good enough ides but I don't think it's really worth creating the developer account and creating the app ect. I'd rather just have donations through PayPal. Easiest way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
The fact it's called 'FORMAT data' instead of wipe data. And that the script that was causing issues was 'format all'. I'm no expert, but I don't think format = wipe. I'm not sure why there wouldn't be a button for just wiping data, but if you're going to wipe data, you'll probably want to wipe the cache too, so hence the reason for only the factory reset. Makes sense to me anyway.

And then of course there's this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loumoli:
I had the same issue before. restart your phone and try again should fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
What was the modem before L8? L8 sucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loumoli:
See my post above! Sorry I hit reply instead of quote.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
LG2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loumoli:
What modem are most people here using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I'm using LG8 and having good results with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I'm using LG8. Everyone is different depending on your location. Try them all out for a day or two and see how it goes. Choose the best one when you see how they all react to your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Lg8. By far best radio in my experience with the S3 so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
You are talking about a couple different issues. First, that script that was bricking devices has nothing to do with this recovery. Yes, it contains the term "format", but that is only because format and wipe are the same thing. Ever formated a disk, or an sd card? You'll remember that when you did, everything on it was wiped. Again, that script had its own problems, but the fact that it used the term "format" was not the problem. TWRP does not use that script, so thats not a problem.

Factory reset will leave the ROM functional, but take you back to square one before you set up your account and messed with your settings. Data wipe/format will erase the data partition, which is essential for your ROM to function. HOWEVER, when you flash a new ROM or nand restore, that partition will be re-written, so it is not permanent. Factory reset and data format perform totally different functions.

And as far as what Skunk Ape1 said, I respectfully disagree. Format data should not touch your sd card. Hell, I've used that function before flashing new ROMs for years and has never touched my sd cards on this phone or my OG Evo. It will, however, wipe the media files directly associated with that ROM like notification sounds and wallpapers. BUT, if you are flashing a ROM or nand restoring after formatting data (which is the only reason you would wipe/format data anyway), all that will be re-written anyway.

Clark44, care to correct me if I am wrong? I just don't believe Clak44 would endorse this recovery if it could so easily brick our device or wipe unrelated disks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Right on shinesthru.... For first paragraph...

As for the user having bluetooth issues... Giving both ends (phone) other device an enema usually works... I get this issue every time I update a rom with my jawbone devices (ear and speakers)...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
I guess I'm in a minority but LG8 wasn't so good for me. I went to LF9 and found better results. Of course the way Sprint data reliability varies from day to day (even minute to minute) it's really hard to say if the fault lies with the modem/radio or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Naw, you are not abnormal... I remember the OG Epic discussion and debate...same thing... All a matter of users taste and tolerance of what signal Sammy provides.... :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chino331:
This has become my daily driver! Got 2 requests though.... 1. Can you add the Samsung international boot up/down animation in update me... 2. Is there a way to remove the brightness slider from the notification window? Thanks! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I know what you're saying, but I don't believe formatting and wiping are the same thing. I'm also well aware TWRP doesn't use that script or there would be a whole heck of a lot of people real pissed right now! Formatting in turn wipes, but wiping shouldn't format. I'm no expert, but I always viewed it as formatting is actually formatting something, like changing it so to speak. Wiping is more like deleting everything. Wiping an SD card would be like selecting every file on the card and hitting the 'delete' button, but it doesn't change anything else, simply gets rid of the data.

I'm pretty sure we're on the same page, just speaking different languages. So it is with the interwebz.

We know 'format data' doesn't work in TWRP and we know factory reset does. I say we just leave it at that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
You may not understand what formating does, but for all purposes it is the same thing. I have confirmed this with people who know more than you and I combined. The disk space is formated to be used by android, formating it wipes it clean of data and prepares it to be used by the operating system. Trust me.

And yes, "format data" DOES in fact work. It may not do what you think or want it to do, but it is kind of insulting to Team Win to imply their product does not work. Both functions work, and they both do different things entirely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
Won't let me select Root Helper under Advanced.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Had to double check the thread subject to make sure I just hadn't walked into the TWRP recovery thread lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
What launcher are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
Apex.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
What exactly happens when you try to select "root helper" under advanced settings?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
It's greyed out. It won't let me select it at all.

It did work on 0.0.7 just to verify.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Did you install the widget picker in aroma? I dl'd Apex just now and had no problem selecting root helper. Silly question, but do you have the super user app in your drawer? When you open it, is Apex in the apps list? Is it approved [:)] or denied [:(]?

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29689897&postcount=66 To clear up recovery confusion. I think where we were misunderstanding each other is on the sd cards. The internal (nonremovable) will be wiped with data wipe. I keep all my media on my external (removable) card which is not touched. Ok, back on topic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Perhaps this will help. I am guessing that you installed apex as your launcher during setup. If so it was installed in your system/app folder. If installed as a system app, it doesn't require root helper to put widgets in the app drawer.

If you install apex from the playstore, it gets installed in the data folder instead of the system. If this is the case, then root helper will not be greyed out and you would need to give it root access to access the widgets in the drawer function.

I hope this helps...

Hey guys, I am not sure if this is something specific to the ROM, but when I plug in my FM transmitter it doesn't detect any sound.

Was working before but just tried it out. Otherwise love the ROM.

Thanks for any suggestions

Sorry one more thing.

Seems like Android OS is acting up again. I am at 11 hours usage right now and battery is at 55%

The OS is using 26% - would this be related to me running the LF9 radio?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
Interesting. Mine is also greyed out, but because I had it previously checked, the checkmark remains since I restored Apex settings. It DOES allow me to place widgets from the app drawer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
U

since you restored it and the restored copy was not installed as a system app the check mark will remain. I am assuming you choose to install it during setup as it is now greyed out.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Skunk... Sent you a gtalk request.. You get it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
I should have been a little more clear. I choose Apex from Aroma Installer, and restored settings through Apex's Backup and Restore menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
That's what I mean. Aroma installs it as a system app. So widgets in the app drawer are automatically there. That's why it's greyed out.

Because the data you restored to it was from a backup not installed in the system it is checked.

If you were to reflash the Rom and install apex again with Aroma, it would be greyed out without a checkmark. The checkmark was only there after your data was restored. You just didn't look first.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Just fyi... And for future reference... If you or anyone else installs these roms as an update and already has either apex or nova installed, I have seen better success when you select the standard launcher (or even standard with scrolling).... Once the rom goes through the setup, you will have your former (apex or nova) launcher along with the "standard" one and both will work without issue. Just my 2 pennies... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
I just loaded the Dual trails boot Ani from UpdateMe, and when it reboots, the dual trails screen freezes.All background activities are working, since it seems to finish booting, but I swipe to unlock and the frozen screen is still there.

However, turning to landscape mode shows just enough of the Home screen behind to finagle my way back to UpdateMe and reinstall my old BootAnimation (needed a little of my memory since the text I needed to read was on the left and covered by the Frozen Dual Trails screen :) )

Just thought I'd see if anyone else had such issues, or if it was duplicable.

PS no mention of TWRP was made in this post. It should merely be assumed that is what I'm using per Clarks instruction :) )

PSS Damn, I just mentioned it :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
In response to your first paragraph, I said almost the same exact thing in my last post. So we're good there.

As for your second, if it works, then why are many people reporting getting error messages when using it? Unless getting the error message and nothing changing is 'working'.

Regardless of your next response, I probably won't respond again. I don't want to get into a typing pissing match and we've already clogged this thread up enough. Any other banter can to into the TWRP thread and not this one. KG, clean up these posts if you see fit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lnchbx13:
I believe when you flashed using aroma there is an option to remove that keyboard icon from the taskbar. Try running it again and make sure you check that box.

I am also using swift key and I don't have that icon up there.

Not currently. Samsung changed something in this recent build and busted it. Until the devs figure a way out, it's a no go from here on out unless Samsung reverts, which I doubt they would.

No need to start yelling at people ;) But as our addict said, they put the menu/home/back buttons at the bottom of your screen. On our phone, they'd be duplicates so no real reason to have them on there.

Now that I think about it, if you're using TWRP, those on screen buttons show up in there when you're editing the backup name or something like that...

Android OS i think is draining this puppy too fast.

Let me know your thoughts.

Going to return to the 0.0.7 for now I think.

That was super smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Install CPUSpy and make sure your phone is going into deep sleep. I haven't found the culprit yet, but I've had a few times (not just on this ROM version) where my phone won't go into deep sleep. After a reboot it's fixed. I think it might have something to do with Pandora, but I'm not 100% on that yet as I don't use it often.

Remember if you do data roaming is broken in that version. Try LG8 modem first before you go back to v7.

battery life help

freeze (titanium backup) or disable (using root uninstaller pro) DRM protected content storage/service. See if that helps.

Just found out from my friend flstnoles11 (over in the OG Epic Thread) that you can also (and I quote) ....Great app for that is root uninstaller pro... it will freeze an app, unfreeze upon launching it and refreeze it when you close it... awesome for keeping problematic apps from starting automatically but not have to go into an app to unfreeze... just does it for you... pretty nice...

If there is some bloat that you don't want. you could be selective (keyword here) and disable them per above. Say you don't use chaton...instead of uninstalling it freeze it, that way it is there just in case, but you also won't have to worry about it checking the internet to see if it needs to be updated.

Sometimes this helps with battery. and, it is fun to learn! Yay...have fun people, this rom is the best! :D:D:D
