Would you care to share your systemUi apk for aokp please?

Edit: never mind. After enabling the keys in bools I'm able to change it via ROM control. Thank you for the edit locations
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darth Pooh:
Yeah that was an easy one. Didn't expect it to just work like that, but the value there needs to be true in order for the Nav Bar mod itself to actually be accessible elsewhere (very clever).

Use at your own risk for AOKP build 8/10 only. NANDROID! Make sure that you do not have the Navigation Bar active in the Rom Control panel before flashing this.

Works on mine:

Flashed rom and gapps, booted system. In rom control turn nav bar on. Go back to cwm,wipe cache and dalvik, flash mod. Reboot.

I have full control of nav bar through rom control now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darth Pooh:
Your the first person of about 7 that said the flash didn't work...

Yikes, I'm sorry, you ***should*** have enabled the mod bar before flashing, I'm sorry... reverse instructions!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Can you please see what changes are in the CM10 build of 8/15 as it is throwing the mod into a loop after flashing rom, gapps, wipe cache/ dalvik and then flashing the blue mod w four touch buttons?

Thanks,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
I'm trying to build for 8/15, but can't get framework to compile.

Any hints?

Nevermind, I was running an outdated version of Apktool. Got it compiled, about to test it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] holysmokesbatty:
And success!

I also switch the dpi to 42, I felt 48 was too big and 36 was too small, so I chose a happy medium. I like it.

This is stock GNex style colors, so if monstaX or Darth Pooh want to make edits for the other options, feel free.

Edit: I also added a second zip that doesn't effect the hardware keys, since there are things that CM10 can do with them in settings.

Edit edit: Fixed the menu button disappearing. All should be good now.

Okay, last edit, added in blue buttons.

Hey, can anyone check IF the ICS source code released by Samsung has the kernel brick bug or not? I think this should be a major concern to avoid high rates of bricked devices. can any kind soul check it and confirm if it's safe or not? Thanks :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
Does anyone here encounter a quiet hiss sound going on at low volume? (Just go up one notch in volume and play your music). It's very noticeable in softer songs for example a solo piano just being played or a guitar. But it is well heard throughout the overall audio.

You can only hear it when the audio starts, once it's paused the sound will go away.

I was wondering if my phone is a bad batch.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I have exactly the same! And it's worse when using the original headphones. However, I don't know if this is normal, as I have exactly the same question!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Try poweramp from market.use it for 5 min then go back to stock player and see if problem is still there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
It's way more noticeable on poweramp. And it happens through out all audio playback, videos, youtubes. you name it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
I had some similar issues and with poweramp it disappeared.

Have u tried other head/ear phones/plugs.if yes. Take it back to the store no one can live with that

Btw are u on bt or cord
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
bt or chord?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Lol. Sorry, Bluetooth or normal jack
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I hear it using my jack, haven't tried bluetooth as I don't have a bluetooth set.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Could u try BT. If the problem disappear when using BT. Then it's your jack(well i think that anyway but just to be sure) and u should get an replacement from the store.

Otherwise try to change your kernel or firmware if you are on le8 or older firmware
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I'm sorry, I don't have a BT set. Tried several headphones, and with some the noise is better audible. However, I also plugged them in into my iPod (from 2006) and I can hear some noise there as well.

Furthermore, you also hear the noise when you're not playing any music, but when you just touch a capacitive touch. You'll hear the noise for 4 - 5 seconds, and then it disappears... You don't hear this on your phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
No, clear as a bell. But i had several problems on firmware LE8. go to settings and about phone. To see what firmware(fw) your on. As i said le8 and earlier is "crap".

Check kies for FW updates. I reckon from your answers u don't know how to change(flash) new fw. So i won't suggest that.

But if u want to learn then read the stickies(top threads) in development section.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I see: I9300XXLEF. I don't know whether that's an old one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Old and crappy.. try open kies on your PC and see if there's is an update should be LFB.

i think that will solve your problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
I can only hear it when the audio is being played, if paused it goes away. As for my firmware (build number?) its i747MVLALE8 and the date on the kernel version goes back to may 23 O_O.

Do I need an update and thanks for helping us out Zodia!

I'm rooted so not sure if this will interrupt updating?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Yes it will.do have cwm(clockworkmod) if u do upgrading is much easier.just find one rom u like and read the OP on how to flash. If in doubt then pm me or post here and I'll tell u how to.

Ps. If u flashed cf-root u got cwm. To check,turn off. Then press vol. Up,home button and power simultaneously and release after 3 sek. If there is an advanced option then it's cwm.

Pps.it's only the last 3 letters in buildnr,in your case it's LE8
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
I'm holding off on flashing anything cause I might lose the IMEI :/, and as in rom like CM9/10? I'm still pretty new to all the rom and kernel concept. Will any roms help or is there an actual official rom for the device (actual update by samsung)?

Thanks again and I'll make sure to PM you before I do anything stupid :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
I haven't tried to update yet but I found out something else. Unplug the headphones, so you're jack is just free, and music will be playing over the built-in-speaker. When you're in the home screen, and not listening to any music push a capacitive button. You'll hear a "ping" sound (or whatever you've chosen) and then you'll hear exactly the same noise for about 4 seconds as you would also hear when using the headphones! Weird...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Ok, to backup your imei download "k-tool" from market and backup.if u got a dropbox account then upload it and save to your pc.next look for "galaxy s3 toolkit v4" (by mskip) and backup your current Rom.

Now u can either download a Rom from galaxy s3 (international) development and flash that from your cwm recovery (easy) or go to samfirmware.com and register.then search for LFB or LG1(official release) stock Rom and flash it with ODIN (Google "flash with ODIN", gs 1-2-3 is identical method).just get started and read, as I said CWM flash is simple.

Try wanemlite Rom or something like that.avoid "aroma installer" for now.

PS.stay away from cyanogen mod that is only for experienced users, many ppl here semi-brick(easy recoverable) their device on aosp(cm, aokp and such) roms.

If any questions then post it here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
Again, thank you for the help. Unfortunately, I have the Canadian Telus variant (basically the US AT&T variant). Last time I heard it's still impossible to backup the IMEI? Or has the problem been solved? Seems like it since you mentioned about backing it up.

And Zun, ya if I have the phone right beside my ear (the speaker area), you can hear the hiss for a few seconds when you press the captive button and it'll go away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Thought u had a international version then Its easy.backup of imei on us model, u should be able to save your efs folder but how to restore, I don't know..

So take it back..

As i said earlier u could try upgrade fw,new fw fixed a lot of small and annoying bugs.but I would take it back to the store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamsean:
I have the problem too;

I think what you are hearing is the result of a really small D/A Converter greatly amplified by simular size amplifier. The white noise/hiss/static you are hearing is at such a small volume that most people don't even hear it/notice it, making them think they don't have the problem. Which causes you to think there should be a solution for this problem.

The static sound is also there when the phone is not playing anything, listen to it very carefully.... This is because of the amplifier. When you start playing some music the D/A converter gets activated and causes the static sound you are hearing.

You cannot help this problem with a software update, and there might even be a chance there isn't any technical solution for this problem.

Here's why:

When a phone developer is setting up the audio output of a phone, he has 2 volume settings that he has to tweak to remove the static you are hearing:

1. The volume of the micro-amplifier. (in microvolts)

2. The volume output of the D/A Converter. (in percentages)

The more he cranks up the volume of the amplifier, the more you will hear the static. While the more he amplifies the D/A converter, the more "clipping" will occur, causing the music to become "compressed"/"overloaded"/not sounding natural. So the developer has to find the best proportions between the 2 volumes while keeping the speaker output high enough and static low enough so we can't hear it.

This is the reason a Apple Iphone's output is so much lower in volume then most Android phones. Also older phones you've owned in the past might have had a bigger D/A converter and/or Amplifier. Bigger means more power so the audio output's volume can go lower causing the static's volume also to go lower/disappear. Also, when you changed the main volume of some older mobiles, it actually changed the hardware amplifier volume, causing the static to go lower in volume/disappear, but this doesn't happen anymore in a Galaxy S3. (@SamsungMobile @GoogleAndroid: Why?)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueG2:
Are you guys hearing the hiss with stock Samsung earbuds that are supplied?

I was also experiencing the hissing problem where I'd hear it last a few seconds after I pressed pause on a song (regardless of app) and also at playback at low volume. That was using my own cheap skullcandy earbuds which are very sensitive. Using the supplied Samsung earbuds, I couldn't hear the hissing. I also tried it on another pair of monitor headphones and could not hear it.

For me, it seems that only sensitive earbuds pick up the noise.

Wolfson DAC

Pls correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the US version use a cheap hissy DAC, where as the Int version has the Wolfson DAC.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/608535/wolfson-dac-confirmed-for-galaxy-s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
As I live in the Netherlands I think I have an international version (how can I check? I have 1 GB RAM...). So then I would have the Wolfson DAC I think. I wonder if this noise problem is related to the cracking noise issue, and if it can be corrected by a firmware update!

I can hear it with different sets of earphones/buds. I can even hear the noise when listening to the build-in-speaker. You?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueG2:
Yes, if I put the volume up and put my ear right up against the speaker after pushing pause, I can hear it. I also have the international version and If you have 1gb RAM, you have the wolfson DAC afaik.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
Thanks for trying! So you also hear this "plopping" sound at the end of the hiss? Probably when the amp shuts down, and produces a plop in the speaker...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No hiss for me until latest kernel then very very low hiss almost unable to hear it at standard sound level 3 . No plop at the end .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
this has been discussed thoroughly on the other thread.

before, their only solution was to use i think idle mode.

but this has already been fixed in the latest fw version XXBLG8
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueG2:
Yes, but a very soft 'plopping' before shutting off. It sounds more like *music playing* *hit pause* "Tsssssssssss(3 seconds)ssss..doook" *silence*
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
But is it the same problem? I am not sure about that. Because now we are talking about a hiss that can be heard coming from the speaker after e.g. pausing the music/hearing a notification and then 3 seconds later a pop when the speaker is turned off. So you're not listening through headphones...

Is it comparable with this problem which was found on the Nexus: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307

Or this one for the GSG3: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706943&highlight=noise&page=2

As you can see they have them in various lengths. I have a 10ft one. These work much better then those plug in extensions that just add on to the existing cord. You lose a little voltage that way. With these cords you are getting a good quality cord for cheap with no voltage loss.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobs0n:
Hello dear XDA peeps :)

I need some help here or maybe I dont, thats why Im asking! ;)

I rooted and followed all the guides a couple of months back, must be over half a year, and installed ICS Stunner 1.4.19. At that time that was simply the most interesting for my Note. These days when more stable ICS roms seem much more appealing. Altho Im thinking Im waiting for a stable working beta for JB :)

Since I havent done some ROM loving for quite a while Im quite confused where to begin, do I need to upgrade CWM Manager first? I have version 3.15. Or can I go straight on new ROMs? I spent some time reading about updating CWM today and it seems I have a really dangerous kernel version, 3.0.15-I9220ZLP5-CL295568 and if I understand the CWM Manager thread correctly thats part of the dangerous kernels. Which seems quite dangerous to update it since I cant find a safe version of CWM Manager to update to.

So the bottom question, do I need to update CWM Manager first to do anything safe or update the kernel first to perhaps an old safe rooted GB kernel? All the guides and stuff says the safest way is to first install an old safe GB kernel and then install a ICS or JB kernel (not at the moment tho) but is this the truth in my case?

Anyway, I really appreciate if you could give me some advice here :)

Thanx in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
There is newer cf root that is 5.6. This is a safe rooted stock kernel by chainfire with CWM manager.

The devs suggest when installing TW ics custom rom it is recommended to install it while already in ics rom.

First install stock gingerbread rom, while in gingerbread rom do the wiping data,cache, and dalvik and then flash ics rom for clean installation. DO NOT WIPE IN STOCK ICS ROM, DANGEROUS. READ THE WARNING IN THE FORUM.

You can choose any tw custom rom you like.

If you want suggestion on what custom rom just ask i gave you one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobs0n:
Ok, still not sure what do to first but it is safe to install a GB rom first? Updating CWM isn't that important? What I meant was that I still cant find a fitting version to install. Nearest version is: CF-Root-SGN_DD_ODD_LP8-v5.5-CWM5.zip but thats on the danger list so Im still confused about what version to download.. :/

Perhaps CF-Root-SGN_DD_ODD_LP8-v5.6-CWM5.zip is safe to install tho?

EDIT: I saw that I had cf-root version 5.2, it was CWM Manager that was version 3.15 :)

EDIT: getting a new baseband comes with a rom, no need to install baseband seperatly? For example, getting Cassie's XtraLiteRom Version X LC1 295Mb is getting my baseband LC1 too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
You can flash the cassies custom rom directly over the stunner rom if you want to, just be sure to use ABYSS KERNEL for wiping.

Base band also known as modem. There are many flashable modem to choose so no problem what modem you Want.

If you want to install cassies latest custom rom you will get also the latest CWM recovery and manager.
