Sorry I forgot to mention that both methods I cited used Titanium Backup. With TiBu you can create an update.zip of all your zips that you can flash via recovery. This is faster than restoring the apps after you installed the ROM, and have rebooted.

Yes if you are using Advanced Restore you might as well dirty flash.

Yes restore after the fact, or create an update.zip and flash via recovery after you have flashed the ROM.

Ok ever since r125 my phone as been acting strange. I already mentioned there is no GPS signal whatsoever. I have tried every fix i can find to no avail. Now I can't make calls unless I pull the battery or receive an incoming call first. Also all my text messages are showing a Callback number under them. Is this something on my end (hardware issue) or with the ROM?

EDIT - Odin back to stock and GPS still broken. Definitely not the ROM. Must be my device...

My gps wasn't working at first until I turned on wifi to lock and also used gps test app for a few mins

Half of my texts show cb #. It depends on if the sender set it to show or not

GPS is actually working for me in r125 after never getting a fix on r118.

Galaxy S3 Premium Suite

Samsung is going to offer an upgrade to a new Premium Suite which adds a number of new features similar to the Note 2.

More info at Betanews.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Link? (Betanews)

nevermind; Google is my friend! LOL!

http://betanews.com/2012/12/10/samsung-unveils-premium-suite-for-the-galaxy-s-iii/

"Samsung did not provide any details as to when Galaxy S III owners can expect the Premium Suite to land. As usual it's fair to assume that the international variant (codename I9300) will arrive first, followed by carrier-branded handsets next."

guess we're going to have to rely on the kindness of others... mainly the smart devs who'll port this faster than Sammy-Sung can get it out. At least we don't have to rely on Big Red!

I have a 64gb sandisk sdcard and had trouble on fat32 (as I posted above), so was trying exfat since Friday. Exfat had mostly been working okay for the weekend, but now it seems that it keeps losing recognition of the card after a bit of use (mostly while listening to music) requiring me to unmount and remount. I'm guessing this is a exfat issue and I'll reformat back to fat32 and try it again. But is there any way to determine if I got a bad sdcard? I'm on r118 still btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Harbo99:
Had to restore back to r118. Had several SOD's on r125. First time was after a reboot it showed the galaxy s3 bootscreen and then went completely black. This was after running r125 for several hours. A battery pull did not even fix it, had to completely re-wipe and re-install r125. Yesterday, I woke up to both soft keys lit up but other than that the phone was unresponsive. Booted back up fine after a battery pull. There was 1 other time where the phone was unresponsive but I don't remember exactly when or what happened but battery pull fixed it.

Is there a way to disable Google now? My battery is draining fast.. Can't even make it 12 hours. When I use the phone it heats up real bad. Any thoughts? I'm on 125

What kernel are you using? I would suggest wipe caches, fix permissions, flash lean kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
i guess you've checked your battery stats and that is what is showing as the biggest drain; if not, would suggest using BetterBatteryStats, or anything else that will pin down where drain is. This will give you a better idea of what is draining your battery.

Does anyone know if mhl/hdmi work on r125?

I got a mhl cable off ebay and I get no response at all when plugging into my tv. I am trying to determine if they sent me the wrong cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
118 does for sure wih MHL. Don't trust chinaBay with something like an MHL adapter for this phone as it is too often counterfeit and will not properly work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ziggy471:
+1 on that.

I use GNow, and haven't seen any /real/ issues with the battery. Before I started using it, the phone would use about 5-8% while I was in the office, mind you I can't take my phone in, now it's using right around 10%.

Using Go SMS instead of the stock messaging app kept the CB# thing from appearing for me (for the senders who don't have it turned off already).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psyman42:
I did a search for lean kernel, and it came up with the Nexus kernel, is that the same one you are referring to? I couldn't a S3 link, unless I overlooked it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wchill:
There are two different kinds of MHL adapters. The S3 and Note II use an adapter that is 15 pin as opposed to the older design with less pins.

I have a genuine Samsung MHL 15 pin adapter for my S3 and it works perfectly, I use it to project my phone's screen when teaching basic Android development.

There is an adapter that exists to convert the old 8 pin design to a 15 pin for ~$15 (?) on Amazon that Samsung makes, if you look. That should work.

Does anybody know how to turn off the text message notifications counter? The one that shows over the icon on home screen not status bar.

Make it so number one!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wchill:
It's possible if you modify the TouchWiz launcher, I think. I discovered how to mess around with the settings for that little counter.

But turning it off also turns it off for the phone app and any other apps that use the counter.

Do you guys suggest lean 1.0 or 1.1 (the exp) for the latist build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Really don't see where 1.1 is considered experimental. It is 1.0 updated with newer linux. Both run the same to me. :cool:

Ok thanks I thought I saw it on the site that 1.0 was latest stable and 1.1 had some experimental tweaks or something like that but thanks for the feedback will flash 1.1 real quick

I'm still running r118, and i did a dalvik wipe yesterday, them this morning realized that it deleted my call history and texts for the last two days. Is that normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Hey kids, thanks for helping each other out while I was away. Had another huge work assignment that I finally finished in the office close to midnight last night (good thing my office is only 4 minutes from my house!) so I've got some dev time again.

Yes, I'll be re-basing to the latest leak. And I hope to have a new Ziggy kernel for you guys to test later today. Hang tight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Ok, I finally made a big jump from r73 to r125. I have been putting off upgrading for the longest time as life had gotten busy. I finally have time to update and did so. Now my phone is CONSTANTLY giving me a popup saying "Unfortunately, NFC service has stopped."

It pops up every 10-15 seconds, I hit ok, rinse and repeat. Stopping the service manually under app manager has no effect. I noticed people who claim such things as a google wallet error. I have no installed google wallet on my phone unless it comes with the r125 Synergy ROM, FYI.

1. Why am I getting this and how can I get rid of it?

2. Why the heck does FORCE-STOPPING not end this crap? Ugh! The frustration...

I'd appreciate some help on this. Forum searching doesn't seem to be yielding any good info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Did you wipe before flashing r125? Lots of NFC stuff changed between 73 and 125
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eueyj:
Don't know if anyone has come across this or not. Running R125 and if you go to settings|call/message block/message block list and add a number to the message block list it FC's however when you go back into it the number has saved.

Not a major but thought I'd report it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
Are there going to be any signifcant changes other than the rebase? just curious
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Probably :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blueb0x:
Awesome haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
I did the following...

TiBu Backup entire phone, Nandroid Backup

Factory wipe/Reset

Formatted /system

Wiped Dalvik Cache

Installed r125 from ext-SD

Rebooted

Setup phone info and synced contacts, then downloaded TiBu & SuperSU, brestored user apps+all system data

Rebooted

...Then comes the ever-annoying "Unfortuantely, NFC services have stopped."

It's intolerable and freezes my phone for 5 of the 12 seconds before it repeats the process and pops up again.

I understand with TiBu, you can now create an update.zip instead of redownloading from Google Play, but I am not familiar with this and did not use this yet. If this is the key, let me know.

Also, I'd like to know 110% sure what I'm doing, lol. When I restore with TiBu, do I ONLY need the white, yellow, and green items? Should I NEVER restore red (system) items, considering the new ROM update/upgrade may have a newer version installed? If somebody could clarify this for me, I'd be very happy. :)

If somebody can figure out the popup message, I'd be happier. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Never install system data from TIBU especially when changing OS. You went from ICS to JB. The files are in different places and some are even named different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
Esch,

Any chance of a patch to fix the personal dictionary on 125? I hate that it doesn't save words I enter manually.

Thanks again for a great ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Gotcha and this is what I needed to understand. What's the best result to get all my data and info back from TiBu then, simply restore all USER APPS + DATA and that's it, or is there anything else I would need? (Also, by system data, you mean the items in RED, correct? I just want clarification - Sorry for the noob terms).

I'll restore to r73 and flash back to r125 without having TiBu restore any system data/apps. I'll be back if I get the same results, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imjehh:
how is gps lock in the new base? cleanrom 5.0 is pretty bad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eueyj:
Which keyboard are you using? I had that problem with Swype but after clearing data a couple of times I managed to get it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
^^ There's your bogey. Repeat the same process, but this time do not restore any system data, just apps

I'll look at it, thanks for letting me know

I don't intend on touching GPS with the new base
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Thank you for taking the time to answer noob questions. ^_^

Back to r73 I go to backup JUST user apps, lol. Now if I may ask, won't I lose all game data/progress/settings I've setup if I do not restore the data? If so, I guess that's just the cost of upgrading ROMs?

I've flashed my phone so many times today, just call it 'lightning!'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neh4pres:
Esch. Any chance you can include lock screen torch?

Also any way to get aosp MMS running on this beast?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
You can restore your apps and data (games, high scores, etc). Just don't restore SYSTEM data (anything red in TiBu)

Torch is on my radar. I haven't had a chance to look at the needed framework changes for AOSP messaging yet, but if I can make it work I'll get on it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BillBauman:
Hey, Zig, I'll play along. I just dumped FAT for NTFS and paragon, but I don't mind doing a little extra formatting and testing. I did notice that on both LK and Ziggy kernels when playing music from FAT 64GB card there was an every 10 to 15 seconds hiccup in the music. the NTFS formatting has resolved that issue.

Feel free to send a link, etc., and I'll test out exFAT and FFC.

I am having a strange issue on the last few builds. I have to turn my ringer off at work so I put it on vibrate and it basically sits on my desk all day. Occassionally it will ring with sound. When i look at the sound toggle, the sound is turned on. At first I thought maybe I was picking up my phone and accidentally turning the sound up, so I left it on the desk and didnt touch it and sure enough, it happened again.

Not a big issue really but my boss gets pissy when ringers go off at work.

Make sure it's the Verizon one and pick the kernel time-stamped with today's date (bottom of the list)

Please test exFAT (for those that use it) and fast charge (disabled by default, you'll need to echo it on via command line or get a toggle from the play store to flip it on/off)

I just got a notification of a Samsung update. I quickly cleared it from the notification bar so I wouldn't install by accident. Has anyone else got this?

I can test the force fast charge if your still needing testers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BillBauman:
That's for LeanKernel, it's a script that ships with it. Go to the Play store and search for Fast Charge. There are plenty of apps that do it. I installed the Fast Charge app. You can turn on/off, when it's on, your Power Source will be identified as "AC" even when connected to USB - hence, fast charge is working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
Correct, as many Devs here they always recommend making a nandroid before you flash, so first what i did was restore my phone to that original back up when i first got the phone rooted and recovery installed. (I did already have the latest K3 base and RPM flashed aswell.)

Then did the usual wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, then did a bit extra, formatting system, data, cache, then finally my internal SD Card, and just for the hell of it cleaned out my External SD, with my TIBU files on my PC.

Lastly, flash rom like usual and set all my backups. Funny thing is i did this on saturday, and didn't run the benchmark until today, lol so i could have been plesently supprised at how well my phone is performing days ago!

***Dont forget to create a backup again if you wipe both cards or else you dont have a stock rom for safe keeping**
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crackerhacker:
I have tried searching and couldn't find anything so I thought I would ask here. Verizon is down in my area and I have no service but I can still get online via wifi only to have a constant notification wanting me to switch to global mode. Is there any way to turn this very annoying popup off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BillBauman:
Well, one suggestion might be to switch to Global Mode. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure I've used my phone in Global Mode in the states before and it's worked fine. But, I can't say that will for sure get rid of the annoying pop up. I remember having this issue myself once, when I didn't have service. I just can't remember what I did to resolve it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Ok, I did as stated, then restored ONLY missing apps + data. No more issue...Then I went into TiBu and tried to restore my settings, wellpaper, SMS, etc...No dice...Why?

I have also been trying to get the call recording to work with r125. Has anybody found a solution? This can be a pretty important feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Lots have asked for this so I figured I should chime in and say something...

The I9300 model (the international SGS3) has some logic that will work since it has international rules and code built into it, but the same logic does not work on US variants of the S3 since the carriers and/or Samsung CDMA sometimes (not always) strip the international code out of US variants. We'll need to find different logic to make the hack work natively. All the code I've tried causes non-stop FCs of the phone app. Some have had limited success with market apps, but those who wants it hardcoded right into the native phone apk will have to wait for us to find logic that works without FCing the phone.

We'll probably find something that works eventually, but I may have to go all the way past the smali and start digging into the jasmin to find a solution.

Okay...I went down and restored "all system data" then selected everything green, white, or yellow.

Dialer Storage 4.1.1-I535VRBLI5 (SMS/MMS/APM) is NON-SELECTABLE, same with Contacts Storage 4.1.1 (CONTACTS/CALLS), Internet 4.1.1 (BOOKMARKS), and Wi-Fi Access Points (green non-selectable, yellow is)

Why are these items non-selectable?

I'm starting to hate the fact that I rooted my phone and started messing with ROMs, it's like a damn 2nd job trying to keep up with EVERYTHING there is to know. It's getting irritating having to spend so much time researching. So many quirks and unique scenarios with each phone/software/app/UGH!

Sorry for the venting, I'm pissed. Backing items up should be simple, TiBu is pissing me off. TiBu Documentation sucks too.

I paid the $6 for the Pro key, and that's exactly why I'm so pissed! Now lik eI said, I did not create update.zip but redownloaded the Pro Key upon phone startup after flashing r125. I'm starting to feel like it was a waste of 6 bucks if I cant restore what I need! There's seriously no other explanation for the inability to backup the files mentioned in my last post???

Does it matter if I restore via XML vs Snapshot? I always go XML.

All with restore option. Do you have it set to the right location of backup file. It defaults to internal. If move to external when Tibu is reloaded need to reset to right location of backup folder.
