This is rom is amazing fast and stable I will stick with it thx for your work robbie thx you for real :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jcc332006:
I dont know why this rom is not at the top of the 1st page. Its been nothing short of amazing. The choice of multiple lockscreens is unlike anything ive seen on the GS3 yet Absolutelty astounding. Dam how many lockscreens are in this beast 10 or so...and thats not even touching on all the other additional Mods. Battery life has been Superb! Rom is very smooth and fast as hell. This my friend is a beautifully mastered rom!! If anyone hasnt flashed this rom its a dam shame because its nothing short of amazing!! Great job on this rom rob!! 1st time flashing your work and look forward to future releases. Cheers!!:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Thanks mate will start on JellyBean as soon as i released the new ROM for N7000:victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nihal1983:
Yay
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yken:
Hey Robbie, i used your roms before for Galaxy S with darky. I flashed final rom and im disappointed about JB. I flashed every official and beta

JB and was using it starting with the first leak. After I flash your final ICS rom to check it, im disappointed that JB is not that much faster than ICS almost they are same, a little JB is faster.

Your rom is very different than all the roms out. I install all of them so i know them all. They are only adding/removing apk files and some theme

differences.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] roshi87:
People, please, help me out, because I am so eager to try this rom, and yet can't flash it. I was on official JB and it just stopped in the middle of flashing. Than I couldn't flash anything else until I flashed Galaxsih kernel. Now I am on custom ICS (CheckRom V5) and tried to install it twice, but still it just quits the installation somewhere in the middle, exiting to recovery. It doesn't show any errors, just like nothing has happened. Any clues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] grgsiocl:
1. first go in to download mode and flash the ficeto-kernel-recovery.tar

2. Flash the tar file using PC ODIN

3. Reboot to recovery by pressing magic 3 buttons!

4. You will see some splash screen..it is TWRP recovery

5. Select Wipe and do the factory reset

6. Install the ROM by selecting the file and then reboot (It is advised to place a ROM zip in internal SD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] roshi87:
I flashed the TWRP recovery and it doesn't work. I try to do the wipes and factory reset, but they randomly stops in the middle and I am back to the splash screen. The same thing happens when I am trying to install the rom - quickly reboots me through the splash screen to the main menu of recovery. Damn it. :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] grgsiocl:
remove the fingers while you are on TWRP screen then it will come up with all the options (or just tap on it)! then select the wipe->factory reset! I ended up in the same problem today and banged my head about an hour and then it worked!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Thanks.

Thats what i have been saying ::D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
But its JB....newer always = better....right?? :P :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Lol tom :p

If you are firmware horny and close ur eyes then yes
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
So a little confused on what one to download, do I want ICS V1 or ICS Final? I know common sense tells me final is at the top and also the probable latest one, but just want to be doubly sure, on my works internet it takes around 40mins to download...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Final is the one u want
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:
IMPORTANT

Guys I tried installing final rom on u r recovery..

It just got stuck up at cleaning.

I tried several times.

So can I only flash your kernel(How?)...

Your recovery not working well on my device...:(

Could u just make a video if we are on ics v1 and wanna flash final version on our s3.

That would help,
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Thank you, following the comments on how good it is going to backup via go backup pro, wipe and install and see how I get on.

I am fed up being a beta tester on ICS, even the final release has it's issues. I am currently on Omega 13.1 and have been for a month or two now.

Will trial this one and see how it goes, main thing is for me stability, everything working and a decent battery life.

Can I use Galaxsih on this? Or Kernel already tweaked?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
I dont release betas in public mate that what my closed beta is for ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dajumper:
i can not install he just cleaning system and then reboots also with the app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:
Urgent

I tried from rom customiser.

I ticked wipe too.

But still it doesnt install.

I am still on ics v1.

Pls release a patch for this.

Its a serious bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
I think its jellybean causing this somehow .

But i have flashed mu;ltiple test flashes before releasing and i didnt have these issues .

Can one of you supply me a log ?

Grab it from /cache/recovery/last_log

Only supply this if my rom is the last u flashed via recovery and failed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] grgsiocl:
yes you are right as it is causing if any one coming from jellybean or else it works fine!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:
Major Bug

Guys I just figured out.

ics final just reinstalls ics v1.

It doent install final version.

please release a patch soon or a fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Thats just not possible mate :D

You sure u clicked the right zip ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yken:
at first try i could not flash your rom too. Then i learned i have to flash your special kernel/bootloader. After installing it and trying a few times

i finally installed. This is not a problem but it was different than any other roms i flashed until now. OP says does not indicate this clearly.

Look:

"b) If you are coming from Samsung ICS ROMs other than Alliance-ROM;

1- Download the ROM, put it into your internal sdcard and download our Customizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lliancemanager) and get CustomSettings.apk HERE. Extract the zip to get CustomSettings.apk. Put it to /system/app either by using your favourite root explorer app or using ROM Customizer (Install as a system apk).

2- In ROM Customizer, find ROM Settings > ROM Config Settings > Change the settings [TICK WIPE]

3- Choose Flash/Install File from SDCARD, find the zip and let the app do the thing for you."

This did not work for me.

At the second page, this info helped me but it was not on OP.

"Coming from a allready rooted rom :

Flash Ficetos hacked kernel via our ROM customizer app which you can get in the market.

Now boot in recovery via the three button combo ( volume up +home +power untill i9300 screen)

go to flash zip from sd / choose zip from sd and find the zip, click it and follow the instructions.

Let the update script do its work and you are on our newest release for i9300."
[Galaxy S III Android Development] montage mahal:
Thanks for making the install a bit more clearly mate. Had the same issue coming from a sammy rooted rom.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
I installed it, got it working but then uninstalled it. Thanks for the work and it is not unappreciated. But I do prefer Omega 13.1. I like the 4x5 grid you get as standard with that, plus some of the tweaked icons although they’re different, I prefer stock.

After I had flashed it, it didn’t see my external SD by default and the way the recovery is I had to go into ROM Manager in order reflash CWM to then restore my backup.

All in all a pain in the bum and about an hour of messing about I could of done without, back on Omega 13.1.

As I said not being ungrateful, just sharing my own experience with this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
All my modifications and u complain about a launcher grid ? :D

its all good thanks for trying
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
You couldnt make it up!! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nihal1983:
Thanks Robbie love the stuff in the ROM.one suggestion is to let users know coming from JB flash ICS Rom flash ficeto kernel from your ICSv1 and then flash final. Saves some trouble.

Also while setting targets for the zte driplock when i scroll the app page it goes blank .any ideas
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sad56:
I revert back to ics just to try this (i have use thirst version for long time) :p

I return to jb rom because I like Jellybean but I really wait for your version.

Take your time ;)

Some people complaining because you're too long to update, but when I show the result, they need to let you take the time you need.

Keep the good work mate, it's really impressive :)

You said you got called by samsung that you need to update and that i need to start modding jellybean ;)

Im building a ROM for N7000 now and honestly im running my final ROM myself .

Jellybean just isnt what everybody keeps saying it is.

At least not for now.

My final ICS ROM runs three times as smooth and does not have bugs
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachs:
c) Coming from a JellyBean or any AOSP ROM

Flash This kernel and recovery first HERE

Why?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sneazel:
Hey Robbie, was a big fan of the the team alliance roms from when i had my galaxy note. looking forward to trying this rom and reporting my findings. Just out of curiousity how does deep sleep perform on this rom? was on viking rom ( best jb rom imho) but lost 20% overnight on standby. plus i think its best to wait for an official uk release of jb. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the gd works. cheers :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:

Just installed and set up, nice and smooth rom so far. Wondering is it possible to get a 5x6 touchwiz grid?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] teriemer:
Installed without any problems from JB. Just followed OP and waited for boot.

Seems very solid with excellent speed. Not like the best JB, but damn close and with lots of possible tweaks that JB doesn't have.

I'm gonna stay with this one for a while.

Big thx to the devs - awesome work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Will see if i like it :P

I run my own ROMs as daily offcourse.

If i dont like it i will provide it as a OTA update
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
hey robbie, well I must give it to ya its a great rom

there is a mod called ACID for audio mod do you think its safe to flash on your rom, also could add transparent weather in your rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
Not sure what files are included in that mod mate never heard of it .

Probably just another equaliser so dont think it will interfere with anything.

If the mod included framework files or system app then it can get you in a bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bornlivedie:
The best JB? Best JB like what?

Samsung stock JB is slow as a turtle. No custom rom would ever make up for that.

ICS is a lot faster than JB, and will be until samsung stops playing hard to get.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:
In future will your (ficeto) kernel support dual boot on our device??..I mean on s3(i9300)....

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robbie Hood:
No i dont think so.

I asked ficeto about this before but we want our kernel to be safe and easily usable without bricking for every user.

You can offcours always flash a kernel to ur likin for those who want more control.

i followed the instrcutions as per OP but it tries to install something and throws me back to cwm recovery and then i restart .. nothing changed .. i was on JB .. phone was not booting for 15 min after flashing the kernel recovery.tar so i installed LH1 first, then standard recovery .. then followed ics process

not sure whats going wrong :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cmajetic:
you are right, I came from stock ics rooted and tried installing over the recommended app and after a full wipe in cwm but it does not install anything...

edit: looked into the zip, every folder is 2 times there, this cannot be right. messed up zip but md5 is correct so uploaded file is crap

[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigmaamit:
Come on man, there is no need to call names. The file is not crap... in fact, it is one of the best ics Roms that I have tried. The fact that I came from jellybean, and installed this Rom today stands witness that the error must be on the user's side... that it can be installed properly, provided you follow the instructions on the OP faithfully.

This is a wonderful piece of work.

Don't criticize what you don't understand.

Read This

Seems pretty comprehensive to me...

a) If you are coming from ICS Alliance-ROM;

b) If you are coming from Samsung ICS ROMs other than Alliance-ROM;

c) Coming from a JellyBean or any AOSP ROM

Full instructions given for each option.....what more do you want?

And to re-iterate, im one of the latest people to download and flash with....with no issues whatsoever

Well i think its something wrong with chainfirew recovery there.

Seems it restarts the script for some reason and its restarting the flash three times before suddenly killing itself.

Have you tried flashing the kernel (recovery and boot.img) in the guide in the OP ?
