And by "wiping system," did you mean factory reset? There is no wiping system option in CWM. What's the difference between wiping data and formatting data on CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
I could probably go all tl;dr on you, but the meat of the answer is that there is probably no difference between "wiping" and "formatting". I haven't looked at the actual commands, but the goal is to make the partition blank. Either they do it by deleting and recreating the whole partition, or they remove every file in the partition.

Further, all rituals aside, any ROM I've ever flashed had code in the install process to wipe system first, so there's very little reason to do it manually. Also, in a non rooted world, system is the ROM and unchangeable by the user; data is all user added stuff. That is to say, wiping the data partition is the same as a factory reset. (more or less)

Finally, there are two common types of "flashes" a clean flash and a dirty flash. A clean flash is where you wipe cache, dalvik, and data, then flash the rom. This is the best way to ensure a good flash, with no random FCs or what not. It's what the OP says to do, and is absolutely necessary if you're coming from another rom, or stock. A dirty flash is just wiping cache and dalvik and flashing the ROM; keeping user data intact. This can cause all sorts of problems, but if you are coming from an old version of the same rom, it can save a lot of time.

If you choose to perform a dirty flash and have ANY issue; ANY AT ALL, you should perform a clean install BEFORE posting about your issue. The very first question you will be asked with any problem will be if you performed a clean flash, so just save everyone the time and do it.

I guess I did go all tl;dr on you. Sorry. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Well said. Now, I think it's time to get back on topic :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anrichardson:
If you go into Mounts & Storage in CW recovery, you can wipe everything individually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zombieplanalpha:
I have looked through this post and hadn't seen this come up. What happened to the voice for s-voice? After flashing to 10 the voice changed and I don't care for the new one. Any thoughts /suggestions

Luck favors the prepared... Get a plan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
Did you wipe data from 9 to 10?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
Great Rom!!!! Superior to other roms!!! Got over 12 hours of battery life on 4g. Running imo v7 kernel stock clock speeds. Amazing how fast you guys make this phone with that kind of battery life and that includes a few gig downloads of games! Can't wait for 11!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
im getting anywhere between 18hrs & 24 on this rom with the leankernel, medium usage. the only occasional bug ive found is the taskbar disappearing. hopefully that will be fixed in build 11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
I downloaded it and it was very easy no issues. I did not get the 50gb free dropbox and prior to this Rom I tried 4 times to install the standalone 50gb dropbox from another thread and still no luck. I was sure this Rom would have done the trick for me but still no 50gb added to my dropbox. I never got the email from Dropbox. I just can't figure out why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loismustdie555:
I got the 50 GB drop box a week or so after installing the ROM.

And why do we call them "ROMs" anyway? I mean, ROM stands for "read only memory" which only applies to old cartridge based systems doesn't it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vaffanculo403:
ROM (Read only memory) is "built-in" memory containing data that normally can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows your computer/phone to "boot up" or regenerated each time you turn it on. Unlike random access memory (RAM), the data in ROM is not lost when the computer/phone's power is turned off.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mwep:
You need to let dropbox autoupload something like a pic from your phone. As soon as I did that, I got the email from DB saying 50GB was added to my account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
Yeah I tried that, no luck :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
Open the Dropbox app. Do the setup. You'll get an email about your space increase.

That's how it worked for me. I had to actually open the official Dropbox app before it upgraded anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1333:
Can you have too much space? I have like 80 gb lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anrichardson:
Speaking of dropbox, I was able to get the 50gb, but tried to do it again, but for my dads account and then t did not work. No matter what I tried. Does dropbox know your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
I have tried every way imaginable, I tried 5-6 times a few times installing Beans rom and a few times just the 50gb hack, no matter what I do, upload photos, you name it it never gives me the 50gb. I have 10.25gb already and wonder if maybe Dropbox sees that and for whatever reason disqualifies me from adding more for free. I got the extra GB from trying out the beta way back where I connected the upload from camera and uploaded a bunch of videos where they gave me 500mb each and I did 10 of them plus some other promos and few people signing up under my activation link gave me the 10.25gb.

Again I have tried it all, full wipe, basic wipe/install, over and over again but nothing. :crying:

You need to go into settings then applications and clear the data for Google system something... I forget what it's actually called but search the forum... Do that then reboot then if it's not fixed reflash

I went back to build 9 after two flashed of 10 with no gapps. Weird because I flashed 10 before with no issues. I am not doing anything till build 11 I am tired of looking at my phone now and as my daily driver I need it to run. Major props to devs though v 8 was light years better than OEM and each release has been great for all I know its a problem with my SD card or unrelated to ROM as I was on build 10 previously. Still fighting battery issues but I am a heavy user with blue tooth phone calls tons of emails 4g/3g switches while traveling daily. Bottom line better than OEM and its getting better with each day thanks to this group of devs and impatient testers. Thanks everyone working on this and other ROMs/kernel/ apps/theme/whatever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
This happened to me too. I didn't select maps in aroma and all was fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fix-this!:
I wonder in the next build if you could change the lockscreen text, date, carrier & text to ics blue? I know its a framework edit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Haven't tried it yet for fear of losing 4g but does phone info work on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loismustdie555:
Yes. I am currently using build 9 and can confirm that 4g, 3g, phone, texting, and data all work perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
New version is out, nice!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeff.longenecker:
Can this be flashed right over top of Build 10, or do you have to factory reset, wipe cache,& wipe dalvik? Love the Build. Thanks again to the Developers!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
Clean flashed 11. Had no notifications. Rebooted. Came back.

Why the heck can I not get ADB to work on any stock based ROM? My phone shows up in my device list under ADB devices. Does not show up when the adb devices command is ran.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Clean flashed v11 and have been getting random reboots. For example, my phone will be in sleep mode a d the screen will wake up and then the phone will do a soft reboot.

Anyone else having that issue or know what may be causing it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
I get that sometimes on 10, but I did a dirty flash, so I just assumed that it was my issue. It happened infrequently enough that I didn't bother attempting to figure out why.

Haven't flashed 11 yet; wife is 9 months pregnant, so phone tinkering has been put on hold until my daughter gets here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Congrats man!!

It only happens once and a while but its been happening at bad times like when I'm on a call or taking a video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
Thanks!

Now that you mention it, I think it only happens during cpu intense situations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
I've got the same. At least 2-3 at the beginning after 1st setup. It did to me as well in 10 and I know when it started. After I put IMO 07 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Did you ever do a QPST backup? If so, did you go back to the hidden menu and re-enable ADB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I only experienced it in v10 and v11. If its the kernel can we just flash a different one?? Not sure if the ROM needs a specific kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
Beans kinda goes with Imo's kernels. You can try another stock kernels but I know that if this is a real problem and others will come up with it then Beans & Imo will fix it ASAP.

Don't know what a QPST backup is. How do you get to the hidden menu? There was that tool that you used when first released to turn off the wifi notification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Open the keypad and dial *#22745927

hey guys and gals I just flashed to Beans 11 from synergy because 10 gave me problems and just found out this is doing the same thing as well....The problem I am having is that this rom is completely black (no wallpapers etc) and I have no notification, time, 4G signal, etc! Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!!! Yes I tried re-flashing several times and rebooting as well!

Thanks! :eek:

Anyone noticed that we now have a /sdcard and a new /storage/sdcard0/

What's up with that

Sent from my Gnex {GSM}
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxina:
We heard you like Memory.

so we put your SD-Card into your Internal Storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
/sdcard is a symbolic link to /storage/sdcard0

Essentially, they're the same thing (your internal storage) referenced in two different places. This is likely for backward compatibility to anything looking for "/sdcard".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n7of9:
is the data taking space multiple times? i have the same files in 3 different places

/sdcard

/storage/sdcard0

/mnt/sdcard

others have said they have the same files in /data - but i have nothing at all in that folder

how do i know which is the real one? i'm so confused :( i only saw mention of it today around the forums and have searched and read, but nothing is making sense to me (and you seemed like a nice fella to ask)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigbailey1986:
No it's not taking multiple space. The partition was changed in jb so this is essentially guiding apps which have not been updated to jb source a path way to typical information found on the sd card to essentially work or be backwards compatible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n7of9:
thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
As stated here, /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard are essentially just pointers to /storage/sdcard0. An app tells the phone "hey, I'm looking for /sdcard!", and the phone lets the app use /sdcard, while writing the data to /storage/sdcard0.

I believe that some people are having a problem with the change from ICS to JB. From what I understand (I'm a new Nexus user, so I went straight to JB), ICS stored sdcard data at /data/media and had /sdcard point to it. So apparently some people are having problems with JB not looking for any data there, and instead looking in the new location, /storage/sdcard0. The data likely still exists in the old location, but since the pointer changed it isn't being referenced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I noticed this, but my Play Music app hasn't, it cant find half my music. I have been using DoubleTwist and it has all my music. You would think that the Google apps would be the first apps updated to work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kreeker:
I just got my phone yesterday so I haven't really had time to use it. However, when I was downloading all of my apps from the Play Store, I did think it was very hot on the bottom half of the back.

That being said, I'm going to go to the store tonight to get my phone replaced due to loose/clicky home button.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Halmo:
Mine only gets hot at the bottom when playing intensive games like Dead Trigger on max, which seems normal. If it is getting hot all the time on normal use that doesn't seem very normal.

Mine gets hot at the bottom with normal use. :-(

My first s3 didn't get warm at all. And I mean just texts and browsing the net

Things like this are a big reason why I'm very hesitant to exchange my phone even though it has problems. You might always end up with one that has worse problems than the first one you had.

yeah mine gets slightly warm at bottom under light to moderate use. doesnt really bother me at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Chicago281:
It's a powerhouse phone that's so slim of course you're going to feel the heat. If anyone thinks they have a problem with their phone download "Cool Tools" and you can check the temperature live.

I know during easy use like sending a text the phone is cool.

Moderate use like surfing the web or watching a video the bottom half gets warm.

Heavy use such as playing Dead Trigger or Nova will cause it to get hot. But just like any electronic device the more use the hotter the temp. Sadly phones unlike desktop PC's don't have cooling fans.

WARM/HOT IS OKAY! STOP FREAKING OUT PEOPLE!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] v8bait:
Mine has only ever gotten slightly warm at the bottom, and never hot or noticable. That was while constantly dropping in/out of service and heavy usage. Other than that it has been very cool, even when charging.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Chicago281:
Also those with a case will feel the heat differently as well.. If you have a case you're less likely to notice the heat.

Those without a case will feel the effect more.

Either way too many of you freak out over nothing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] computermilk:
I think this is funny because when the new ipad came out (which i love btw) everyone was writing articles left and right all over the internet about it getting hot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Paging Dr B:
It's normal for it to get warm/slightly hot especially when using it while it's charging. But really anything after a few minutes of use will make it begin to warm up. Then toss in videos or games and it will warm up some more. As phones get more powerful and thinner the more we will feel the heat. I mean these are miniature computers but unlike laptops or desktops they don't have the luxury of a fan and ventilation system. The heat has to go somewhere right? Every dual core phone i've used gets warm. My Sensation actually gets extremely hot (HTC said it was normal), and my Bionic gets pretty darn hot too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] REDFOCZ:
I returned mine because it was getting extremely hot after only 5 mins of lite web browsing. Back to my S2 or Gnex I guess.
