Thanks guys/gals. Steve is looking into some possible causes for the best buy and old navy issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polo5569:
Those two for sure. This has been an issue for as long as I can remember. I've tried different browsers with no luck. the same goes for all of old navys sister stores
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I have tested my webkit edit and it has nothing to do with that.

I really need to know how far this goes back.. when did this issue appear?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
ok.. I have found the problem..

stay tuned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
The cause of the problem is the host file..

I am going to make a new host file that will block ads but not cause this issue.. stay tuned
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Here is a quick fix for your old navy/ best buy problem..

Please know that you will see ads again a lot more frequently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
If you want to use those sites that way, you will have to forego ad blocking.. plain and simple.

This was not a rom issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Here is a modified host/fix that Steve made.

Ad blocking apps such as adaway and adfree are responsible for the blocked apps and sites such as best buy and old navy. IF you use ad blocking apps you may need to revert to no ad-blocking while using them sites.

Or just try this patch without ad blocking apps and see how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
OP has been updated with host file fix for old navy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Here is Steve's Super User and Host update that is now included in his OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polo5569:
That did the trick. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
This is the holy grail ... if you are not on my rom, your highlight is fugly peach ..

anyone know why the emergency alert tone wouldn't play? i have sound on alerts set to 'alert' in sounds menu rather than vibration, but just got an local emergency text and it only vibrated, didn't make any noise, checked settings in messaging, everything is set right but pushing the

"emergency notification preview"

"play a sample of emergency alert tone"

all it does is vibrate, no noise, my wifes stock s3 plays an EAS style tone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:

Im just curious. As a last step before i do a fresh wipe would it be possible for someone to post their google play services for me to manually try and install to fix those issues. I know its just me having the problem.

what file would that be?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
if anyone can it's you buddy. the new maps is butt fugly. i think google allows 11 year olds to design their apps....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] verngator:
On pages 847-848 of this thread there is a discussion about ad blockers/pop up blockers. I understood this to mean that there is some kind of baked-in blocking with this ROM. That's awesome! But if I need to get to a spammy site for a limited time - specifically sites related to domain tapjoy.com - can I flash a specific file to make that possible? I don't have a separate adblocking app installed.

An on/off toggle would be best..unless that is the functionality provided by a stand-alone adblocking app.

Thanks in advance for your wisdom...

3.8 Google Settings issue

ok.. its minor. The location part of Settings will be white without a two part flash. I had to edit the manifest to complete the theming as seen below, however, I didnt think any of you five would care.

i'm not even on Sprint but it's appreciated. i share a mutual love of all things blue and strongsteve is 1 of the best devs on here and it's amzing just to see this amazing rom while waiting for some updated dark horse rises theme for the vzw gs3. great work as always!! we need someone to fix what google muffs up!!!

A couple interesting (if not necessary) features coming to Moto-x. Hopefully they are part of a new Android that will make it to other manufactures.

Don't forget to thank Steve for the Update/Continued support!!!!

And just a reminder.. The mods should all be compatible in post 4 with version 3.8 as they are using morphology.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
I have pulled the new build and am reuploading it. I had inadvertently left a classes.dex in systemui. Having classes.dex and an odex file will cause an "android is upgrading" on every reboot.

Just an FYI

Uploading now with it fixed. Sorry. Thanks to Nick for pointing that out to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpcdata:
Thank You for a excellent rom!!

There are a lot of ROM flashers that are missing out on the best, stable, meticulously assembled ROM in GS3 history.....FLASH IT PEOPLE you will not be disappointed. :)

Thanks Steve!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmayo01:
I'm downloading now. I've learned to live with the google play services error I have, since I never really use hangouts or google now. But maybe the updated play services and a reflash will do the trick.

Either way, wanted to let you know that I'm still a supporter of your work steve and think this ROM is the best thing out there.

Clean flash without restore. Full wipe beforehand.

There is but Im not sure if that would help or not. Im downloading it again and will give it another shot. Ive run Steve's stuff before without issue so this is kind of puzzling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1brainsurgeon:
You more than likely need to "soft data reset." I've never had this happen before 4.1.2, but have experienced it quite a few times since. Dial ##72786# and allow the reset to run its course...you won't lose any data. You should see your data soon after the reset is complete

That's what I was referring to. I've read some threads where that has worked.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
I have been having issues with the stock email.

(I don't use gmail since the stock incorporates more than gmail and stock allows easier attachment handling)

What happens is a FC of the email app when I select an email. Upon reopening the app, the previously selected message can be opened, but only that sole message.

So I'm having to open email almost twice for each message.

Eg: 5 messages = opening email 9 times

3 messages = opening email 5 times etc.

I have cleared dalvik, reinstalled email app (no data restore) via several methods.

Does anyone have an idea as to what the issue is, or what other app might be needing its data purged as well (linked app)?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
There ain't no limits here.. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
This may be overly redundant, but I would go to settings/application manager. Clear cache and data for the email app. Then using your favorite explorer I would remove the email apk and odex files. Then go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and put the email files back. This worked for me on a different app once. Good luck.

Welp, Been away for quite some time and thought I would check in here and see what's going on. I see the version changes have been movin along nicely. Being that I'm still running 3.0 and have been very happy with it, Is there really any need to move up ? Can I "update" to 3.8 without losing any data ? Looking at the change log, I don't see anything in the different versions that I really have to have, but .... well except for being on the latest greatest version I guess.;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mpcdata:
OK guys not sure why your having trouble unless you all are getting a dirty flash. Here are the steps I use.

1. Nandroid

2. I always d/l rom to my computer and transfer to phone.

3. Wipe dalvic. cache, and do a system reset wiping user data.

4. Install rom, then advanced restore system data in same session.

5. Reboot to system

This has always worked for me. Alot of times I see people having problems and it stems from trying to d/l rom to phone or not doing the wipes before loading rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I don't even advance restore anymore. I just set it all up from scratch.
