[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] humdrum2009:
We will be rocking cm10 in very little time.

Or at least beta of it.

Since pics to jellybean isn't a major overhaul. Like froyo to gingerbread or ginger to pics.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nabbed:
Very little time = many months?

If you mean like a month or so, where do you come up with that bs?

The numbers speak clearly - look up froyo to gb, or gb to ics timeline.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mastarifla:
Look up the change log and structure between those earlier android versions then go look at jelly bean compared to ics. Believe it or not the change isn't a complete overhaul, they meant for it to be that way.

Ps. there is already a beta jellybean on the international version, and we got cm9 and aokp within the first few weeks of the phone being out, the s3 is a whole nother beast compared to the s2
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nabbed:
Enlighten me. Where can I find a "change log and structure" for Gingerbread/ICS and ICS/JB?

And how do those relate to programming an aosp rom?

Please.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
Here's a little info on what's being worked for CM10 if you haven't seen I already.

I really wasn't interested, if you haven't guessed yet.

I was making a point about JB not being easily ported compared to ics or gb.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zaisaroni:
Im no dev but the majority of ICS porting applies to JB. Under the hood they are very similar. Google Now, the new voice software, and the triple buffering (kernel level stuff) are the major differences. Google now is an APK and the voice isn't requiring a lot of work either I'm sure.

If we don't have a fairly strong jb aosp in a month I would be surprised.

I kept my GNex as my backup to my GSIII. Praying for some AOKP love over here in Verizon GSIII land, lol.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mustbepbs:
I think it's pretty obvious that the jump from GB to ICS is what took so long. imagine trying to get all your current apps and data and customization to work with a new OS with zero hiccups and nothing lost. ICS is so completely different from GB, I'm not surprised it took so long. The jump to JB from ICS isn't nearly as large, as some people have pointed out. I'm banking on us getting it early Q4.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
Ha ha right? The only thing that bothers me about the gnex is the screen and camera, the screen for some reason on my GS3 looks much better
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Cyberguycpt:
Yup and it's spec wise not much bigger but the Gs3s screen just looks much nicer and bigger.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mt3g:
CM 10 doesn't require a bunch of new drivers or official blobs from Samsung so it should be rewrite of code and implementing the apps and such. If the SGS III got AOSP ICS in weeks I'd say cm 10 might be weeks away from the point source was released. I'm not positive cause I'm not on a computer, but I think Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) has the SGS III for T-Mobile. I'm no where near a PC (just my phone til Monday)... if he is on the device as the main team member, we are looking at great nightlys and then some.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
I agree he actually has post in the nightly build topic, so he most likely is working on it :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sabre31:
We don't even have a good cm9 yet full of bugs and JB won't be out for this phone officially until next year you all know it. One thing I hate about none Nexus phones is the crap long update times. Don't kid yourselves thinking JB will be out for this phone in 2 months. CM10 same not until next year and by that time most have moved on to better phones. Only the international version will get JB love by end of year most likely.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RampageRR:
*this phone has been readily available for purchase for a week at most. Of course CM9 isn't 100% a week in. I know, that must be hard for you to believe its been a WHOLE WEEK and its not working perfectly, but everything will be OK. I promise. Or you can just go troll the Nexus threads instead.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sabre31:
I hope your right.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] obutto:
Lmfao you're so negative in every single post...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] chazking:
Jellybean will hit phones alot faster as not as much of a change as going from gingerbread to ics.should only be a couple of months
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Smac7:
I have faith it will be much faster for our phones. Way less phones to keep up since they released essentially 2 variants of the same phone. Also, the upgrade from 2.3 to 4.0 is much larger than 4.0 to 4.1. I also believe google had this one in devs hands a little bit longer than they did with other releases.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Skv012a:
So besides this LTE, why are you guys shelling money on essentially slightly worse chipset S2?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bigdbag:
el oh el

Lol... you clearly don't understand what AOSP is. Skyrocket (GS2) already has a CM10 build working; granted most things are broken at the moment, but this is a far faster rate of progress than any other major CM release.

Members of certain dev teams of CM have already stated that the PDK is actually doing work this time around in JB, resulting in less work for them.

Get out of here with your uninformed, pessimistic posts little buddy.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KentuckyHouse:
Obvious Troll is obvious. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] benefit14snake:
Lol? What was that troll talking about? Obviously confusing troll.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bigdbag:
He's just jealous that the nexus is already ancient compared to what the s3 brings to the table. Lawlz.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :
Actually I remember technology media outlets were questioning Samsung/Google about the Jelly Bean update for the GS3 and they were pretty sure it's going to be released before December 2012. Don't request urls because I'm not going to search. I got 4 hours of sleep and I'm riding a bus home. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I'm trying to mod the framework to enable the ICS onscreen navigation keys but I can't get framework-res.apk to recompile after the mod has been made.

Anybody know what's going on?

Tried doing it using apktool 1.4.2/1.4.3 plus latest version of aapt. I've also tries the APK Mod toolkit thing, I just can't get it to recompile.

P.S. For those of you that ask "Why would you want On screen nav when there's physical/capacitive buttons?" I want to turn it on, then mod the key config to disable the back and menu keys and turn the home key into a dedicated camera key. :D

Any pointers, or a working framework-res upload would be great.

Also, I'm using the "stock" DeOdexed/Rooted LG2 release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Try using 7zip to just replace the target file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Haha, I haven't gone that route. But it sounds so idiotically simple that I'll bet it works.

-Edit-

Can't get access to the values folder in which the bools.xml resides.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Anybody get this to work? I would love a flashable!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
I've made a couple. I'll post a new zip tomorrow. This would be for stock LG2 Deodexed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
I bet you are having the plurals errors. Try this...

in res\values\plurals.xml

look for

<item quantity="other">%d of %d</item>

make it

<item quantity="other">%d of %%d</item>

res\values-en-rUS\plurals.xml

look for:

<item quantity="other">%d of %d</item>

make it

<item quantity="other">%d of %%d</item>

res\values-es\plurals.xml

look for:

<item quantity="other">%d de %d</item>

make it

<item quantity="other">%d de %%d</item>

It should compile just fine after that. I had the same errors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Yes. Fergie. I have been using your Navy bar from blazer. I would like the bar to have the back and recent button reversed back to stock positions. Like the galaxy nexus button order. I sent a pm a fee days ago. THANKS

Sent from my galaxy s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
YES!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
This would be sick if someone could get it working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I'm almost to my computer. If all goes well, I'll post the framework-res.apk shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
Good luck. If it doesn't compile let me know and I'll give a shot at enabling the on screen buttons. I just need to know the tutorial to follow. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Looks like it compiled, I'm about to backup my current framework and push this over, will report back in a minute.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
Good to hear. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Aaaaaand... Bootloop. Though weirdly when I copied framework-res.apk to /framework, the icon turned into the airplane mode icon just before I reboot, soo... I'm going to give this another shot.

Edit: Still no luck. I shouldn't be signing the apk, should I?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
Did you give it the right permissions? 0644 I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
How do I set permissions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
Depends on what you are using.. If Root Explorer, I believe you get the option if you tap and hold the file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I got it to boot. Sort of. But then it would have an error. SecPhone force closed, which was causing a soft boot.

This was after adb pushing the file instead of moving with Root Explorer. And whenever I replace system files using Root Explorer I always drop the file in root, which usually resets the permissions anyways.

Maybe adb push, boot to recovery and chmod from there?

If that would work, what's the shell command I should use to chmod for setting the permissions right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Post the apk. Maybe we can get it to boot. And root explorer doesn't change the permissions for me. I have to do it manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Okay, so pushing the signed framework gets a boot but it crashes, and pushing an unsigned one causes a bootloop.

Gimme a sec, I'm upping to mediafire.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ff89zjoli50houi

That's the signed apk that sort of boots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Okay..let me see what my novice brain can do..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Thanks!

I always download stuff on here, and LOVE the developers! I wanted to give something back. Sadly, my limited knowledge makes that difficult.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
No luck so far....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I just did this. But on blazer 1.6. Its wkrking fine for me. I can provide zip but this is strictly for blazer 1.6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Zip would be great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Is Blaze LG2 based?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhand901:
Yes it is. I'm using it now with a few cosmetic tweaks of course. I'm currently using fergie's on screen buttons but the back and recents buttons are switched. So the back button is on the far right side.

Sent from my galaxy s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Yessir im pretty sure it is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
The back button is on right side too. If u know how to change i can. Just teach me lol.

Uploading the zip.

Disregard what the updater-script says. I get bored lol

Also going to give lg2 deodexed a shot

Ok this has only been tested on Blazer 1.6

Not sure if it works on another ROM

Recent apps on left

Home in the middle

Back button on right side

Nab Bar Height =36 dp

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
You, are a freaking hero. Working on Deodexed stock LG2.

THANK YOU!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Lol. Redid it with the actual framework of stock LG2 deodexed. I'll put link in a bit. Gimme a couple minutes.

http://www.mediafire.com/?rxhmztliujatnn5

It's safer to use this on STOCK LG2

Same specs as few posts back

Oh and about the home button as a camera button would be genius. If any would could help figure this out it would be amazing. Really interested
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
There are a ton of .kl files in /ect/keylayout. I've managed to disable the home/menu soft keys, but have yet to get the home key remapped.

So far I've noticed the camera app doesn't react well to the OSK. The keys overlap the right side of the camera app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Yeah. The way to fix that is to just shorten the dp. This is the shortest I've gone but I can try 29 if u want it smaller so it won't mess with your ****. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Not a big deal. Likely the SGSIII camera app isn't designed to scale. I'm gonna mess with the .kl files some more tomorrow to try and get the home key remapped to the camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Ok sweet. Post here if u get anything please. One last thing how do edit the Kl files? Notepad++?

Edit: nvm I shall use notepad++
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Currently I've done the couple edits on Root Explorer's text editor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I

I just tried notepad++ on my pc and it works great. Sounds like tomorrows projects. Lol thanks man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
No man, really, thank you. You're the one that posted the working nav mod. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
I'm on Verizon. Can you guys explain how to do this? I know how to use apktool and what not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
When u decompile framework-res.apk in values folder there is a file called bools.xml and there is a like that saya show navigation bar. Change the value from false to true. And then in the same folder thrre is a file called dimens.xml the nav bar height can be changed from 48 to any number. The lower the number obviously the smaller it is. Then compile and push
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
Hmm I'm getting errors with plurals.xml after changing false to true. I'll have to play around with it later today. Thanks for the info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
E

Everyone else seems to be having those issues as well. Im nlt sure why. But mine does it just fine. Good luck with it. If u can figure it out i can just give u the zip with the apktools in it that should work. They are freezas. I got them yesterday o one of his threads
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Go back to Page 1, there's a fix for the plurals error back there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
Wow I'm an idiot. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Lppppl

Hows the camera remap coming along?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
Sweet I got this working! I didn't realize it was that easy to get on screen navigation going. Pretty cool. Now I just gotta figure out how to get recent apps on the right side and back button on the left. The remapping of the keys is over my head though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Trying to learn as well. And also hardware remaps. Anyone care to teach a noob? I will look into later at work. If you learn how please share!

EDIT: i just did this. The home button is now a camera button and to start cammera must hold home button for one second and click to snap a photo. Will post zip in a bit. Only tested on blazer 1.6 but should work on most other roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
This will make home button camera button. You can press and hold and this will start camera and then click to snap photo. The link is below.

Fun flashing everyone!

To remove above MOD

Flash this zip:http://www.mediafire.com/?ipbhn77y2sh6t6d
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Holy awesome, dude!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Might want to make a small tweak to sec_touchkeys.kl to turn off the softkeys. Change menu and back to (undefined).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trevoryour:
Wow this thread would have been helpful 2 days ago. I wanted to get the softkeys back as well on my Verizon GS3 so i did some digging and figured out how to do it on my own. I ran into the plural errors just like everyone else and fixed them by adding the % to fix them. This is where I got stuck and couldn't get any further.

I couldn't figure out how to change the softkey images to the stock ICS images that are on the nexus. I tried swapping out the images in the systemui.apk but it didn't seem to have affect.

I couldn't figure out how to change the order so that back button is on the left side.

The touchwiz apps seem to be set to an absolute screen size so when I use the dialer or the camera the app is cut off where the softkeys are. This doesn't seem to happen with other apps though. I was thinking maybe it would be possible to replace the stock TW dialer and camera with the stock ICS version but i don't know how to do that.

You guys are obviously better at this than me. Do you guys have solutions to any of my bullet points? Basically I want my GS3 to look as much like my Nexus as it can. Also I have been replacing the apk files using root explorer while the phone is running which causes all kinds of crashes. It would be better if I could flash the changes using a CWM zip file but I don't know how to make one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Actually im not using the on screen buttons with this so i need my soft keys. Lol but if u want i can disable them and up a zip for u. Unless you wanna do it yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Making a zip is really easy. U can use one of the zips i have posted. Make sure u have 7-zip. Right click on my zip then 7-zip with arrow on the side and put open archive. This is the actual files inside. Dont worry about META-INF for now. Look at system. If you want to flash a systemui.apk then u would first make a folder inside system folder and name it "app" inside the folder app you would put ur modified and compiled systemui.apk. now once u flash the zip it will replace the systemui in ur phone with the ome in the zip. If you dont understand read this again and again. And open up other zips to learn more about it. Ask before you soft brick your phone. Good luck!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I dont know why that didnt work but it should have.

And about the screen thing the only thing that can lessen the effect is to shorten the height of the nav bar in dimens.xml in framework-res.apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I made the edits myself.

After I get home tonight I think I'll put all the mods together in a flashable and add it to the first post.

You guys are amazing and have been so helpful. I would buy everyone involved in this a round if you were all local.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I just noticed that the Blaze ROMs framework has the jelly bean transition animations in it. Awesome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trevoryour:
Are you refering to modifying the images in the systemui.apk when you say your not sure why it didn't work? If so then I agreee. That is the way I have always changed the softkey images with my Nexus but may Samsung puts them in another place. Maybe someone else can look at it and see if they can figure out what i'm doing wrong.

I have already modified the dimensions to 34 in order to make the softkeys as low profile as possible but the proper solution is to replace the TW apps with the stock ICS versions. Hopefully someone knows how to do this.

What about the button order? Anyone know how to change them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Thats great man. Aprreciate the appreciation!!

Sent from my sexy SPH-L710 using my home button as a camera button ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Yes i was refering to that. It should work. In a bit i can try if im not too busy. Dont worry i have no life.

In dimens u can lower it might just look funny.

I would but not now about the ics apps on tw. Not sure how, but cant be to hard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Lol yes it is awesome. Theyre so smooth. And buttery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I see what you did there.

Also, so far the only app that I've experienced screen size issues is the camera. Any chance it would be so easy as an xml edit in the camera.apk to fix that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Im not sure man. I doubt it. It would probably be an edit too advanced for me amyways but i csn try later. Right now i am making ics on screen keys for lg2 :). Or trying at least lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
No dice. Couldnt make em look like the galaxy nexus. Not sure what it could be but i tried. Sorry guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trevoryour:
The phone Is also affected. While in a call bring up the keypad. The botton row of numbers Is cut off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Not on mine dude

Edit: my bad i though u meant in just the dialer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
Yeah, also there's dead space at the bottom of the call log, and the top of the most recent call is cut off due to it. Also having some weird graphical issues with the phone/contacts app, whatever tab it's on when opened is blank on the tab list at the top.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Sorry to hear that. Not sure what could be causing this. I did everything appropriately. Not to knowledgeable on this stuff so i dont think i would fix thus. Sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I'm sure it's just Touchwiz apps freaking out because of the onscreen buttons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I agree. What else can we mod? Lol. Feeling like a flasher tonight!(no homo)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trevoryour:
Agreed. I'm sure the problem is TW since all the other apps don't have a problem. As I said the solution is to replace the TW apps with stock ICS apps. I seem to recall seeing a thread on how to do this at some point in time but I can't remember where.

Hopefully someone will figure out how to reorder or changes the images for the softkeys but my guess is most developers are working on trying to get an AOSP ROM working as apposed to trying to theme the TW rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aycn602:
Is it.possible to connect to carriers in china and korea? Im on telus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
You'll have to sim unlock first and then get a local prepaid sim, and I'm pretty sure atleast Korea uses the same bands so you'd theoretically be able to get lte there, China would most likely only have the band for hspa at best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You should have the T-mobile modem and the LF6 modem as CWM flashable zips so you can change your modem to suite the carrier.

It would be good idea to research and find the cirrect APN settings too. For example South Korea has KT as the prepaid sim carrier.

Save the screenshot so you can input them once the sim is in:

Checked about 10 pages of threads and couldn't find anything related to this. But does anyone know if it is possible to use USB OTG while the phone is docked. For example could you just plug a USB OTG cable into the microUSB slot in the back of the dock and connect that to a powered USB hub?

If anyone has a dock and a USB OTG cable could you test this out for me? Thanks
