Sometimes we forget what seems simple, may not be to a new person (I've been there), so here you go.. Hope it helps. :)

Most of the time you can just do the following..... (This way you will NOT lose any app/data/settings etc.)

*Nandroid Backup (just to be safe)

*Wipe cache

*Wipe dalvik cache

*Flash ROM

I always do the following because it does not take that much longer and I feel it keeps things a bit cleaner (I might be wrong)..... (this way you will NOT lose app/data/settings etc, AS LONG as you do the advance restore at the end)

*Nandroid Backup (a Must this time)

*Wipe cache

*Wipe dalvik cache

*Wipe data/factory reset

*Flash ROM

*Advanced Restore Data (select "backup and restore"->advanced restore->desired backup->restore data) (THIS IS THE STEP YOU WERE MISSING ;))

Remember everyone updates and battery mods, etc are in my Dropbox link in my Signature if you need them

Sprint is slow on there 4gLTE rollout but when it comes everyone is going to come back. Even if its 110-15Mbps down and 3-7Mbps up. Its still Unlimited. I use about 8-12GB a month and my bill is still $69.99. Try that with other company. I can wait. Driving to baltimore again just to surf on 4g LTE. It is nice guys..

Wow tallblazer u got a steal. No wonder u couldn't pass it up. I can't upgrade till June next year so I paid full price for mine. I'm seriously thinking bout getting the G-note 2 when sprint gets it! You got a great deal on the phone tho!

firstly a very good rom, BLUE is my favorite color so this is a +++. Anyone have a MOD or something that will enable me to have the keyboard show up in the quick lunch AKA the pull-down...since I've a few keyboards installed and sometime I want to type fast or other time I want to use Swaype...so I can change in the fly...I know before we used to have this option, where I would hold down for a bit, and given the option to change a keyboard, but ICS version of android, don't

For people who don't like to read much:

ANY ONE KNOW OF A MOD or SOMETHING to ENABLE THE KEYBOARD in the PULL-DOWN?

In case anyone is wondering the existing battery/clock mods in my Dropbox Link will still be OK on ROM v.5.2.. Matter of fact they should be good on v.4.7 through v.5.2

I have updated the titles of the files to show this.. And as MpcData said the 5.1 to 5.2 update file will work on both the GNOW and Non-GNOW version of the ROM.

Thanks for the Update Steve... OH and just to pick on you Steve, The date you put in OP for v.5.2 is 9/8, should be 9/12 HAHA :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sewhuy:
The TW4x4.zip still works for 5.2 right? I only need it for the Assistive Light(flashlight widget)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
See no reason why it shouldn't. Why do you need it for the Light widget?, it should work with Nova.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sewhuy:
For some reason the Assistive Light widget didn't show up under widgets when I longpress or in the app drawer. It only appeared in the app drawer once I flashed the TW4x4.zip. Currently updating from 4.7 to 5.2 as I type this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Hmm, your right, it does not show under widgets if you hold the home screen for a list. But I found that if you go in the app drawer and go under "widgets" NOT "apps" it seems to show up there while using Nova. I just did it to be sure it works.

I really like the the 50% semi-transparent tittle bar mod with center clock that Daze has as optional flashables in his thread. You think you could odexe this one so I can get it to stick on your rom? Or maybe create one for this rom, Thanks man.. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
Probably not exactly what u want.. but you can create a shortcut to get right into those settings.. using nova launcher.. long press the home screen. Shortcuts. Activities. Settings. Language and input.

Not perfect but you can get to the settings quicker :thumbup:

Poked through the ROM Themes of the battery icons. Most of it is already things we have themed.and a couple others that would require to much messing around to re-theme. At least for me to want to. The one exception are some battery themes very similar to Steve's very original battery mod. I have some interest in the BlueGlass and the Sense. I am going to combine the two together. The Percentage Icons from one and the Charging Icons from the other. Then later I hope to theme them more, if I can. Very similar to Steve's original Battery Mod, just slightly different graphics and "filled" area of the icons goes through the percentage also.

Maybe a couple people flash? I would like to see if anyone would even like it/use it. before I spend time "trying" to possibly re-theme. It may be that they will not show enough contrast, etc..... Thanks..

I would never carry around a tablet to use, as my phone accomplishes all of them requirements. But I did buy one off Craigs List that sets behind my TV that I use as a DVR and media center. Works great for that. Use a blue tooth mouse for a remote.

I told her that I was considering terminating my service. I played completely dumb. I said that a few of my friends had the same phone from different carriers and we compared speeds on this one application from the Google play store..."It's called speed test, and mine got 152kbps downloading speed and 111kbps uploading speeds. I have to be in a certain corner of my house to make a clear phone call and I never get more than 3 bars." I did say k b p s. I was nice and played super dumb.

My experience when I complained some months back was that they just wanted to push one of their In door WIFI "antennas" on me (Air link or what ever there called). I explained my issue was bad data speeds, and when at home I have WIFI. It's everywhere else that I have an issue.. Then I complained that I have to pay an extra $10 for premium data, and it is "not" premium data at these speeds hoping that they would give me at least $10 off. No Luck. But hey they did send the WIFI attena. And then when I did not hook it up they sent a letter saying they were going to charge me for it. LOL

Have not felt like taking the energy to complain lately. But the truth is for my unlimited data, and speeds that get the job done, I am going to stay and Hope speeds get better. While my speeds are usually pretty bad. Lately I have been randomly been getting pretty good 3G speeds. To bad it is very random.

Tweaked icons 32% to 100% to try to match ROM better. Not perfect (a bit bright) but much closer. Icons 0-31 are still either red or orange. Should I bother to put it in my other battery mods? Due to the fact that the percentage "fills" with the icons while charging, it is kind of neat but also a little hard to read. So if anyone is interested let me know, otherwise I may be scrapping it.
