[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
On Synergy 1.5 and looking to replace the round, blue 1% battery icon with the stock TouchWiz icon. Not as easy as simply pulling over images since the number of files involved is drastically more w/ 1%.

Anyone have a mod available?

EDIT:

I decided to make one myself. I haven't thoroughly tested this yet, but it's installed and working on my VZW Galaxy S3 with Synergy 1.5 and Imoseyon v0.1 kernel.

Enjoy!

TouchWiz Theme for Synergy 1.5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thunderbread:
Can u do this in ICS blue. That would be sweet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
If you can get the icons, I can put it in a file that's compatible with Synergy.

Im looking for the stock recovery for samsung Galaxy Viictory for Virgin Mobile any help please flashable via odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
I have seen, for the Nexus for example, a way to remove/change the Verizon Wireless text next to the date in the notification pull down by pushing an edited spn-conf.xml to /system/etc.. but it did not work for the SGS3 it seems.

Anyone have another idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
Taking it from your signature, it appears that you are already rooted. Since that is the case, it may be worthwhile flashing a custom ROM. You can take roms that are based off of the Stock TouchWiz firmware that came with the phone, such as SynergyROM or Bean's Custom Stock, to name a couple. If memory serves me correctly, those roms get rid of the carrier label. Then there are AOSP based roms, such as Cyanogenmod or AOKP. In AOKP, there is an option to change the carrier label, but you can only do it once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks.. but ROMS are not my thing, I like to do small custom tweaks, mods, hacks like this. I am sure it can be done outside of a full ROM, like the Nexus and many other phones can, it is just a matter of finding the right hack to do it. Heck, I know there is an app you can pay for that will do this, but there must be a manual hack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rehpyc:
You need to either edit the strings.xml or tw_notification_extended.xml

which I think means apk tool and compile/decompile, no? Yeah, if I cannot do it with root explorer or Ninjamorph, I have to pass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruvort:
Search for an app named ccname. It should do what you are looking for :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
no can find. was removed from market and all links references I find in Google are old. even ones here are DOA. App was last updated well over a year ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
I'm not sure if it's compatible with the S III, but look into the carrier name change app by conap (xda dev). I think the actual apk was called ccname or something. You just type in what you want in place of the carrier label and it'll cycle through airplane mode and voila.

I used it for my Droid Eris without any problems. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for the S III.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:

It didn't work for me.

nope, not working with the s3/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks tried to find on Google & evertvlink is old as it looks like the app is abandon. I will try it but given the above posters I'd say its a no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Well I received a call from a VZW supervisor asking how has my experience been with the Nexus. I stated that it has locked up a few times but the main thing that upsets me has been the update times. They apologize and say they can send me an S3 if I would like that. I gladly said yes. This is what she said " we are calling customers with the nexus that have been with VZW for more than 10 years because we have received many complaints. We value our customers and want to take care of you." What do you guys think about this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
do you have to send the nexus back? if not, its awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Of course they would have to send the Nexus back. They're not just going to hand you another phone for free. They are going to swap it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Yeah I have to send the nexus back. But I was saving up to get a GSM version. Can I use Google talk to use both phones at the same time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
If your main problem is update times, your experience isn't going to get better with the GS3...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Good thing you dont have an iphone, they only get updated once a year. You would freak!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
its almost like non nexus devices:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsDefying:
Well the S3 is getting JB before the Verizon GNex does...

I think I would have stuck with my Nexus! :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Ha! Proof? Or are you basing your statement on some blog trying to generate hits?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
probably the international S3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arogon:
I downgraded from an S3 to a GNexus and let me tell you, that phone is terrible. Its too big and yet it feels like cardboard ready to break at any second. The build quality was **** and the volume buttons felt like they would pop out any second. On top of that the Touchwiz that comes with is on par with low-budget LG phones. I mean the thing wouldn't stop trying to upload my photos to G+ even after i told it 50 times to stop. You can't get rid of the "Wi-Fi available" bull**** and the whole top of notification bar is ful of other retarded **** that I never used, you literally have like 1/2 of the notifications filled with useless crap. The keyboard is also modified to **** it comes with swype which has autocorrect but if you get tired of swype and go back to normal keyboard it suddenly loses its auto-correct. Overall I hated the phone and i'm glad I got the GNexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
I feel like they may be doing this to try and get rid of nexus updates altogether by offering s3 they can just say Samsung is your problem with the nexus one it hits aosp it really shouldn't take much time to get to the end user I think Verizon is tired of supporting this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elmerendeiro:
Love this kind of rants I always plan to make one myself but there's too much to write...still, the touchwiz is pure ****, it looks fugly (mms app?) and breaks some cool features of ICS/JB ...but one thing I like from the samsung firmwares is the super smoothness, I don't understand why google doesn't implement those bits in aosp code
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmoreboy02:
I normally have 2 phones one i use and one for a back up. The back up i let my son use to watch cartoons. He was using an E4GT then i had a guy offer me a brand new galaxy nexus for a really good price. So i bought it. Before my son even had w chance with it i put it back in the box to sell. Not only dose my s3 blow that thing away but so dose my E4GT. The phone just seems sluggish i hate the app set up and videos on netflix just took way to long to load. Heres proof so you dont think im a s3 fanboy making up a story. Oh and the camera is horrible on the nexus also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I think your biggest problem is Sprint, not the phones you have ;)

I would have told the CSR that I'll take a phone I can unlock and do whatever I want with over one that they locked down. Tell them to call back when they're offering the developer edition, which will likely never actually see the light of day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldblooded79:
Have you guys tried Jellybean? Do it and then tell me you hate the Nexus...you won't. It's buttery smooth with Franco's kernel and battery life is great. I had an Epic Touch and it was a great phone, but you can't give those things away...they made millions of them and that $99 bogo special doesn't help resale. I put $100 with mine and traded for a 4s and sold it for $400. People are having problems getting $200 for the Epic. Traded another 4s for an Evo lte then for my Nexus. Lte is a good phone but feels like its gonna break in half, plus I had a 1.15 hboot. Nexus' camera isn't the greatest, but it's a phone camera remember...I would however trade my Nexus for an S3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
well if i get the option to change my nex for an S3 id go for it, and flash cm10 (i know you guys are gonna say cm10 is not the same on the nex than on any other phone) but id jus enjoy the slighly better hardware for a bit until the next nexus(es) come out in november, then id be back in the nexus line again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
If this is true its not a good sign. If they decide not to carry the next nexus I will likely be moving on. Honestly I would have told them no. To me the s3 is not really much of an upgrade. The only advantage is the processor and camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
yet you're here reading the forums... Just to tell us about how bad it is apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You wanna make a bet? :D I will gladly rid you of your wager!

How about a 50?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmoreboy02:
I subscribed to this forum when i bought the phone lol was just passing by
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liquid_Cool:
Heard this song before........I'll stick with my gnex until the next nexus comes out......that is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I haven't been keeping up with all the news related to AOSP on the VZW SGS3, but the hacky method that is being used to run a custom kernel is turn-off #1 for me, then there is the fact that the last I heard, the CM10 builds were wiping the IMEI of the phone, meaning it's now useless. Yeah, just what I wanted, a phone that I have to hack all up to run a partially functioning AOSP build, then hope it doesn't wipe the IMEI since there probably isn't a way to flash fully back to stock available. Sounds like a great choice to me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seatttlereign:
The nexus has a great camera. Maybe retards should stop taking pictures in the dark. Plus if u use a camera phone as a profession, you probably should fail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
That does sound dreamy! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesonal:
Galaxy s3 is a pos! If you want the best android experience buy a nexus ...a real nexus ( gem unlocked) . If you want a great camera buy a DSLR ...end of story
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Won't even lie. If Verizon offered me a GS3 and I get to keep my unlimited, I'd strongly consider it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carstairs:
Having worked briefly for a local newspaper, I can say your golden vision of the press is sadly outdated. All your local papers have half of their photos taken on the staff reporter's Blackberry and the other half on the staff photographer's point-n-shoot.

Even on the level of actual, respected news sources, there's a huge premium on being ready instantly, and smartphones can and will be used when there is an immediate need for a shot. Smartphone cameras aren't bad, especially when these photos are all being displayed at a quarter of their native resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldblooded79:
Do they still make Blackberries?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Should I resale the s3? Sounds crazy but hell, y'all making me think
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
After watching some reviews and hackery videos of the S3 I can safely say that I am 100% content with my GNexus. I don't care how "Outdated" the Nexus is, being able to unlock with one simple command and flash recovery with another, plus have stock Android without even having to root makes this my favorite phone out there right now (Plus I have my Nexus 7 if I want to do any hardcore gaming, which is also stock Android :p)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
After my third replacement all they offered me was a Razr Maxx and a Rezound...When I mentioned the S3 they said their weren't enough certified like new replacements to send those...No way I was choosing either of those two
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus to any US variant of the S3 is not much more than a side grade, Same thing going from an S2 to an S3, The only instance where I would gladly take an S3 is in the event that i was being offered the International S3 that has not been watered down for use in the US. Even then I'm not sure I would get rid of my nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
haha, are you sure about that? I've had JellyBean on my Verizon Nexus for a month now.

have fun with your locked bootloader and Touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
At this point I just want the phone to work...I am in a strictly 3G area and I am lucky to get 2 bars and it constantly drops gray and I have to restart the device...After the 3rd one I am no longer so thrilled about all the bells and whistles of this device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrizk07:
Do they still make newspapers?

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

You're joking right?

Sounds like you need to go get an iphone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
So having an opinion about the S3 that is not favorable means they need to get an iPhone? Yeah that makes sense...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcMaiden:
If you are posting on XDA,

there is no reason why your Nexus does not have or get the latest updates. No matter which Nexus you're on. I have been running Jelly Bean since the first week it came out and I still can't get myself to switch to the S3.

EDIT: I am on Verizon too btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
Thats redundant though when your main issue with these devices is reception...Im tried all the radios current to previously released and a multitude of the roms and the issue still occurs on all 3 Nexus phones ive had...It is in part to southern IL having pretty weak towers here anyway and these phones having horrible radios...Im sure if I lived in a larger area I would be singing the praise but to have your phone drop signal when you go from outside your house to inside and vice versa is frustrating
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Always use the right tool for the job. Weak towers + weak radio antennas = bad choice.

Even I can be unbiased enough to recognize that the Gnex isn't suitable in a case like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
Exactly and the frustrating part is I cant bring myself to let them switch me out for a Thunderbolt or a Rezound...So its a catch 22 unless they actually do start offering the S3 as Nexus replacements
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Rezound is really a sidegrade as long as you don't mind going back to ICS, and HTC Sense. From what owners have told me, the screen is really nice and the radios are strong.

Definitely lose out software wise though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
The data dropping has either gotten better for me or I stopped caring as much. There is no way I would trade my Nexus for a locked down S3. I have been running JB for a month so the speed Verizon updates this phone means nothing to me. I just hope Verizon gets the next Nexus. I love my unlimited data and LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrizk07:
Uh no, but half the stuff that was said is the same on all android phones. Which in my opinion, makes it a valid complaint against android.

Sure, he can have an opinion about the build quality, touchwiz and whatnot. There's no issue there, I could care less. In fact he can have an opinion about whatever he wants, so can I. You know what they say about opinions... :rolleyes:

G+ uploads, can't get rid of wi-fi notifications and keyboard autocorrect? Those are all standard android features that are generally the same with all phones. Shooting down the phone for those problems are what i'm talking about. That's user error, If he can't figure those out, he needs an iphone. Which is where my post came from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Look at what he said:

GS3: He noted build issues.

GS3: Automatically prompts you, and keeps notifying you of wifi. It nags you.

GS3: He noted touchwiz issues.

GS3: He noted Samsung keyboard.

Doesn't sound like every Android phone to me.

I've highlighted S3 specific issues he mentioned:

Hardly worth a 'go get an iPhone' retort.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
He actually said swype comes as default, but when switching to stock keyboard, there is no auto correct. I don't know about you, but I am running the stock keyboard on my Nexus and Auto-correct works just fine...so hardly an Android issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrizk07:
Did you even read my post? What I talked about is not S3 specific. The 3 things I pointed out IS the same on just about every android phone. I looked at them side by side, I don't have any issues with the 3 things he mentioned on my S3. I can turn them off and my autocorrect works just fine. Even though they're touchwiz themed, the way they work is BASED on Android. This is coming from someone who owns both an S3 and a GNex. Although I prefer the Nexus myself tbh

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I'm aware, I can read. You should go back and do the same. I never said it was an Android issue at all. I said it was a user error issue, it works just fine on both of my phones. Stock android and touchwiz if you will
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
So once again, we are back to the comment of how you feel it is justified to tell someone to get an iPhone if they have a poor opinion of the S3.

Did you actually look at what I highlighted?

Not even close to Android in general. The ONE thing I didn't highlight is because I don't know for sure. (It TOO is a google app and not Android specific). If you ask someone if they read, make sure you did the same yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
Fastboot On unlock>locked bootloader. As someone stated earlier, if your not already running jb, don't complain about OTA's. This is the easiest device to root and hack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its good to complain at least a little.

Radios don't come with AOSP :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
It's meant OEM not on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The S3 will get Jelly bean eventually but we'll have key lime pie.

Plus as Android matures, update rates should dwindle down. The Nexus One had updates every other week but as we go, updates are slowing down.

Definitely weird about Jelly bean obviously ready on the GNex. Perhaps they haven't been updating ICS to focus on JB. Still strange.

I've been running JB and its rock solid. This is awesome so it let's me focus on my N7. Samsung never updates their devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
So did you actually get this? I just called again and the guy straight up says hes aware of that Nexus has signal/data drop issues but all he can offer me is the Razr and not the Maxx...I told him he was nuts as the last guy atleast offered the Maxx...He said his supervisor is busy so he will have to call back...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Yes I got it. Should come in today. Will post pictures when it does
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickrickstyles:
16 or 32?

Interesting...Funny how things fluctuate based on who you talk to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arkfirefighter:
So has Anyone else received this offer? Been with Verizon 13 years n not like I'd trade down to a g3 but no calls here lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't know why they would randomly call long time customers and ask if they want to switch. Shouldn't they be worrying about the ones who are on their 5th, 6th or 7th GNEX?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Well here it is. Side by side. And I do find it weird to receive a random call. But heck it worked out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
I think you secretly wanted to create a compare thread that wouldn't get closed by the mods. You sly fox you.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Lol no. Just proving its a real deal. Showing the nexus and gs3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
lol what? The CDMA Galaxy Nexus is back into the AOSP, so you can go get Jelly Bean now if you want it. It's a Nexus device...get the update yourself.

Either way, it'll be sent OTA sometime. It will *definitely* be out before the S3 gets it. The S3 just came out, they probably haven't even cared about updating it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Enjoy your locked bootloader while I enjoy flashing whatever I want, whenever I want, without worrying about an exploit getting patched via the next OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JackG058:
I too doubt this statement. Samsung is fairly slow to update their phones.

Never is not true. Samsung just updated the Epic 4G Touch on Sprint from GB to ICS. They are slow to update though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
True. I mean just a few months ago Samsung updated the Continuum to Froyo. Its an SGS model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
As an FYI, since I think this is a HUGE misconception about Samsung, they are only slow to update devices that are carrier locked, or carrier specific. Their unlocked devices, or wifi only products get fairly timely updates. The entire Galaxy Tab 2 line is already on 4.0.4, and received it 2-3 months after launch. Who was the first OEM to update a device to Gingerbread (even though the initial update was pulled)? Pretty sure they were also one of the first OEMs, if not the first to start pushing out an ICS update to a non-Nexus phone.

The issue is that the carriers get in the way and screw it all up by adding in a bunch of useless crap and putting other odd software requests in. This introduces more bugs and problems and also slows down development time as more testing is required, both from Samsung and now a carrier. Samsung builds and tests several times over, then they build and send to the carrier for testing, then more internal builds and testing, and the process repeats until the carrier finally gives the thumbs up. Meanwhile, they've been able to push out 2-3 minor updates for their international phones in the same time frame.

HTC and Motorola are similar, their international/unlocked phones get updates weeks or months before an almost exact duplicate sold by a carrier will be updated. If we all went the unlocked phone route, it would make phone updates go much faster, and likely also prevent locked bootloaders, since it's fairly obvious who is requesting those now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Well, if that is truly the case I hope you enjoy your new device. As much as people want to knock the S3 it is still a beast of a phone and from what I have seen, even with the locked bootloader you can still flash everything just fine. Just takes a little more work.

Curious to know if you had any of your GNEX's replaced or called to complain at all. If not, maybe they need to get some working refurbs into inventory as it looks like right now they just keep recycling the same bad phones. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icebear8:
I don't think I would take a S3 I played with one in store and it felt kinda cheap plus I like the ROM and all the custom UI I have on my gnex

Plus my nexus has been running fine and never get dropped data or anything I must of got a good phone from the batch. ( I got a like new from Verizon and the model number on it has a newer number)
