Appreciate it. Thanks for your work btw, Just came over from CleanROM and I like what I'm seeing so far. When I get some money I'll send a beer or two your way.

FINALLY!

IMEI is 15 digits again too, but I'm not posting a screenshot of that ;)

I was so fed up with this one that I was done and had given up. But not TrevE. No, no he pressed on. PDroid just didn't get along with the network stuff so he had to actually write new code to get it all to work right. This isn't just a hack job or a hard code either. It's now working properly and you can still block phone stuff in PDroid and everything works just as it should.

Go give TrevE a shout out when you have a chance. He spent a lot of time on this one for you guys when the rest of us had about given up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Damn glad to be done with that one :) Amazing how much of a nuisance one digit and some operator text was
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PyroXian:
I assume that implies that location aware apps (Llama/Tasker/etc) will work with cell tower location again as well?

And since you're sharing this, does that mean we could see this in the next build?

The Llama location-by-cell-tower is really the last little thing that has been bugging me w/ r373, so this makes me very very happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
I am still using the device NxtGenCowboy let me borrow with no sim so I cant really confirm, but I did see/fix a problem with network location (cell towers). The fix is already in our svn as r381 and full DexOpt Verify/Network Info II Pdroid Checks checks have been run on it so shes ready for whenever esc drops next release :)

Thanks for the help everyone

man what a fun day!

Just got done putting the S3 back to stock! Called vzw and they told me that the

phone should have the roaming going off/on. Seriously my roaming has never done

this, where you get the triangle in the upper left corner of your bar and a r over the

signal bar. Says that's what roaming is for they have roaming agreements with the

other carriers so you can hit other towers as needed. If this is true then why since July of

last year have'nt I seen it roam once other than when going out of town, never in town.

The tech told me it could not be the sim as well. So I guess something has changed

with big red. Has anyone else heard this? I am in phoenix, arizona btw. So it looks like

I went through all this for nothing back to stock. I still am not sure i believe this, headed

over to the vzw forums to see if anyone else is hearing this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
install the zip, in aroma accept the disclaimer then hit up synergyrom toolbox. You can use the ziggy kernel control to reset settings, just hit menu -> exit when you are done in toolbox and it wont install anything else.

i thought the always roaming was an imei loss thing. Have you checked yours out and restored a IMEI backup or two? we plop them on the internal sd card in synergyrom/backup, the default is to make one with each rom flash so you should have a bunch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
MA2 works fine for me. :cool:

Think he tried the zip. Getting data back is one part and can be done with the zip. The roaming problem requires to Odin back to stock ICS pre H version and type in the reprovision code. It was disabled in the later versions of ICS. On another note I must have a ton of those files in my Synergy folder. :p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
whenever I get stuck in roaming I just do the adb command

adb reboot nvbackup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
At this point it's worth a try thx. I have a new phone on it's way to me

or I should say refurbished phone no charge. I was told to perform a

get sent one of those cool phones that you cannot set the volts.....

:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Might as well try it. It does the same thing as flashing the Synergy backup zip. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
Thx again prdog1 for the help and others. I will give this a try nothing to lose,

new phone on the way, the lastest from vzw is bad hardware, by performing a

factory reset and the roaming still showing up. Also never lost my IMEI still the same

as under the battery. Funny 3 tech's 3 different stories. The last one was nice and

said it was due to hardware. Will let you know how the reprovision code goes,

nothing to lose all to gain.....

phone now on

The battery life on this release is amazing! I am disappointed though that an icon or shortcut to the multiwindow. That would be fantastic!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Still would be mapped to back button. Then would just have another button or icon mapped to the back button. :p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
If I can activate it independently I don't care which button it is bound to. That is independent. If looking at how the back button is implemented is not an option (I assume this because it wasn't addressed), this would be the next best thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Problem is you can't. Even the back to kill mod kills multi window whether you use back or menu. Framework and Android Policy jar can't be modded without breaking Multi-Window at this time. If Ech could move it we would have back to kill mod also. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I tried it from your zip and it broke Multi-Window also. If you have a new one zip it and PM me.:cool:

Edit: Kewl Andy. I found the new one. Works great. Good job. :good::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
That doesn't make sense. Activation of an app isn't dependent upon a button. Look at Google search activation on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Multi window is not just an app. It is a framework port from a totally different device. Once we receive an official Multi-Window there may be something to play with. At this time it not worth the time involved to try and Ech says he can't do it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
Logically that still doesn't make sense, and the Note 2 is far from totally different, but even if true there is no reason a ROM can't mimic the press of a button to perform the same purpose. Apps do it all the time with virtual keyboards, and it should be even easier if the programming is within the ROM itself. The end goal of launching through an icon is still very possible even if it has to be faked as noted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
All I know is Ech said can't do it and it took months to make MultiWindow work. If think there is not much difference between S3 and Note 2 flash the firmware and watch S3 melt before your eyes. They have totally different everything. Apk's can be swapped as long as they are not framework dependent. Everything including Cameras, keyboards and Multi-window have taken time and framework mods. They are not apk swaps. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
ROMs for the same phone from different carriers don't mix, either. The Note 2 hardware is pretty similar in the grand scheme of things. Generalizations don't do anything but confuse or cloud issues, which is why I pointed it out. Regardless, I never claimed you could do something as basic as swapping ROMs. I don't even see how the Note 2 has any bearing on this discussion. Furthermore, we've been over this before in this thread regarding what Esch actually said and the subsequent generalizations being made missing the mark. As I already pointed out, what I'm suggesting is entirely independent of how multiwindow is initiated; just mimicking the key press, after all. You wouldn't be able to use a lot of the applications you currently do without virtual keyboards! You can't just say that it won't work when you are referring to something entirely different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
He may be able to make an Icon or widget work. But he said he Can Not unlink from back button. Seems kinda simple to me. An Icon or widget would not fix your problem that only you have. You would need to move your application to an Icon or widget and that would fix your problem. More than likely it can be done easily with Apex or Nova launchers. Or Tasker or LLama now or on next build. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jshokamp:
Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 2-24-13 r373 |★

The newer ledroid mod with 23 toggles has a working multi window toggle maybe that could be used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That just shows that another way to the mod can be created but it is still tied to the back button mod that can't be removed. The app that won't work needs to be moved to somewhere besides the back button. Or use another rom. They can't fix any 3rd party app they don't use and cannot test. It is also a waste of their dev time supporting the majority of users. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
Prodog1 when you said to Odin back to

stock ICS pre H version and type in the

reprovision code for IMEI are you using

RF NV manager 1.4.34 to upload the IMEI?

Does this look like what you have used in

the past?

I tried it on ics root 4.0.4

16.In QPST select Start Clients and RF NV Item Manager

17.In RF NV Item Manager go to Settings -> Comport

18.Select your port from the drop menu and press ok

19.Under "File" choose Read Supported NV RF Items

20.From the list of items navigate to number 550

You will see 9 text boxes. This is where you will put in your IMEI. It's weird how it's ordered so follow this EXACTLY. You will need to enter your IMEI from left to right, but backwards. Here's what I mean:

***Make sure the Hex box is checked***

It says in the instructions you need the below. I noticed you said stock ics

and that is what I have loaded now 4.0.4 stock not unlocked yet. I instructions I found say for it to be

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You lost me. I'm familiar with that thread. Since we have backup now don't need all that. Your IEMI is good. Just have to Odin an early ICS image. Like the first ones. They killed the reprovision access in the H versions. Once on early ICS stock rom can dial *2767*3855# and can reprovision. :cool:

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Working on it as we speak. Down to tweaking some stuff and debloating. Some stuff still broke with the new synergy mods. But minor clock and battery mods. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
1) Anyone with my car head unit and this ROM has the exact same problem. It occurs with the Note 2 as well. There are actually quite a lot of us with the same phone and head unit; just not all of us use this ROM.

2) You still don't understand the problem which is precisely why it is imperative that you not generalize with your responses! Since I can use back button long press on the phone itself (my phone is not broken), then enabling a widget or icon would work perfectly fine. As I pointed out earlier, the icon or widget is entirely independent of how the program is initiated because the ROM would simply be faking the button press. That is exactly why I suggested development of an icon or widget when this issue first appeared. This would also prove useful for implementation with Tasker, for one, so it wouldn't just fix Galaxy S3/Note 2 and AppRadio 2 users' issues. The problem with back button implementation due to multiwindow is that it apparently employs a different long press "code" as far as Android is concerned, and/or uses different timing, so the signal sent from the head unit does not work properly as it is not the same as for other phones. Indeed, even short presses have issues with this ROM's back button implementation, though I can make it work most of the time. The point with the use of an icon or widget is that remote touch presses on the screen itself still work fine, ergo so would pressing an icon or a widget remotely to open up multiwindow.

Hey Pr since you are in the tech support mood tonight I have a question.

My plantronics legend allows for communication with the phone in such a manner that it reads to me the names of the people calling me from my contacts list.

It's a great feature, but whenever I have it on, my battery life drains sooooooo fast compared to when it's not on. When I pull my battery stats, "bluetooth share" is gobbling up all of my juice.

Is this normal to your knowledge or is it ROM related? Or is there a setting I'm missing to stop the drain? It just doesn't seem like that simple little function should drain so much battery.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

By the way, I have to enable media audio to get the Sharing contact info prompt. I turn the media sharing right back off however because I don't like to hear my phone buttons in my ear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It equates to leaving an app running. GNow and any other app will do the same if it is left open such as multi-task. If you use home button to back out of app it leaves open for multi-task and will do the same thing. GNow if not killed with back button will drain battery in 5 hours. It is the way the app is designed and if done right wouldn't drain. It should just wake when needed like anything else. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
No, it doesn't tell you that. It is a ROM problem if it is this way because of that feature. I will agree that the interface application should be made to work with everything, but it is a much simpler task, and makes more sense, for this ROM to be updated rather than to manipulate code in the interface program that could affect other devices adversely. If you think you can get Pioneer to cooperate and do anything remotely advantageous for the Android platform then you're welcome to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Not if doesn't work with stock Note Multi-Window which this was ported from. If don't work on stock it is an app problem and not a rom dev problem. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
No...the standard modus operandi was changed. :rolleyes: And there you go again dismissing the entire idea. :good: I'm not asking for the kitchen sink, I'm asking for a glass of water.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You are asking for the rom devs to build you a widget that bypasses Samsung for a 3rd party app.. Widgets are built by app devs. Apps are built by app devs. :rolleyes::cool:

Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 2-24-13 r373 |★

It's not an app. It's the same function as when you pair your phone to a car and it shares the contacts with your car. (if it's fancy enough)

It's just an option box that pops up when I pair the voyager to the phone.

Its still running full time. In a car you can plug phone in and negate the battery drain. Or the car polls and doesn't run app wide open. :cool:

Yes.

Sounds like they want an app to pull the long back key code that their head unit is sending, and replace it with the "new" long back key code. Like an event monitor. Shame they don't ask nicely though, or know what to ask for. They sure seem to think it is easy to change framework code though.

There's but one problem and it lies with you. You cannot take NO for an answer. Prdog has the patience of a saint! He's explained repeatedly in different ways and language why your request will not be (or cannot be) implemented. However, YOU refuse to acknowledge this reality and continue to press an absolute non-issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
The past few days my wifi connection has been dropping often, and constantly switching from 4G back to wifi and back to 4G, etc. even though the wifi sig is strong on the router. Can happen multiple times a minute.

I remember reading in this thread something about this. A search yielded this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30826693&postcount=6228

Is this possibly a router issue, or can the issue be resolved via the device?

I don't want to make the above change if it's not warranted.

I think there is a wifi signal booster setting built into the ROM?

I'll have to check.

Update:

Appears to be a Router issue, as my pc intermittently disconnects also.

Hopefully the owner resolves the issue soon, as Verizon data costs a CrapLoad :(
