Yup, that looks good to me except one part, usually you import to Gmail with a "csv" file. Contacts will still be backed up on Verizon unless you explicitly delete them. You need to import your contacts using a csv file. Gmail accepts contact importing using this file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
Looks like gmail also accepts vcf, so my plan is to import and then merge duplicates. Then all my contact info will be gmail and I can finally say goodbye to Backup Assistant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I do not understand why people do not use your gmail for back ups. Its beyond my level of understanding :confused:

I even have a Gapps business account, which is an @scottsroms.com (and another I wont post here for privacy concerns). And its free! So I sign into my phone with my Gapps account, all my email, conacts everything is there and its the domain I want to use :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh, well let us know how it works out. I've never done it anyway.

I learned the hard way. Found out AFTER I manually added 100 contacts that I could have used a csv file to import contacts. Oh, I was such a novice that very first day of rooting my phone two years ago lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
When my LG env2 was the cutting edge, I was thrilled that I could save my contacts via Backup Assistant so I'd never have to enter them one by one again. When I restored them to my DroidX I said, "Now this is progress!" Its amazing It took 2 years to figure out that Google was the obvious better solution It wasn't broke... Well, today it broke and now it's fixed.

*************

For anyone who's following this thread and needs to do the same, here's how it went:

I exported my old contacts to a vcf file (from the old nandroid image).

I then imported the vcf file into gmail and used gmail's combine duplicates feature. Very cool.

After restoring my current nandoid image, I used the Phone's Accounts and Sync, to manually synch to my gmail amount.

Contacts imported perfectly, however I discovered that Gesture Search no longer worked properly. It would find a contact, but when I selected the contact to bring it up, it would display a different person - or give a "not found" error. I went to Clear Data (under Application Manager) and everything works fine again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
I'm not sure if this should be in the 'ultra clean' rom or this one but I was curious as to if their could be an ultra choice rom...aka aroma installer where you literally choose say..3 options for each of the following categories: msging app: default, chomp sms or go sms; photo app: default, instagram, cam magic; music player: default, player pro, poweramp. Or even NO app for the previously mentioned categories (obviously something for msging). I know we can manually adb or even root explorer remove these but thought maybe it could be a TopApps rom or something like that. Sadly I don't have the time to develop..daughter and IT job at amusement park tend to take too much time lol

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are issues with MMS if you don't install the default messaging app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Been noticing deterioration of this rom after prolonged use. What was once stable has become unstable. Wifi would no longer connect automatically. I have to toggle it on and off. Data connection became flaky. Browser force closes. Was on 2.1 and clean kernal 1.2 Both was a clean install wiping everything. It was fine for a month or so then it just started going down hill. Anyone else experience some of this stuff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
I feel like it must be the apps or something because i had similar strange things happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
The only app that's out of the ordinary is System Tuner. Everything else is just regular apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cjoc:
Two questions. First is there a way to change the icons on the lock screen. Don't want to change the apps just the icons for them. Second is it safe to flash dsp manager or awesome beats or will it break things.

Great Rom

Sounds silly I know, but have you tried a reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
+1 on previous post....remember...while android does a decent job at handling memory...these phones are still essentially computers and need to be restarted every now and then
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JaeTea:
Was the auto-rotation icon removed from the notification bar?

I just realized it's not there anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If you go into your app drawer then "QuickPanel Settings" you should see the option to add "orientation" to your notification bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JaeTea:
Thank You! I knew it was somewhere. It was driving me nuts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tummytom10:
Does 2.1 come with the new 1.2 kernel or do you have to flash separately?

sent from My Own Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
99.9% sure 2.1 comes with 1.1 kernel. Flash 1.2 and you're golden (as 1.2 I believe was an attempt to fix a gsiff bug)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Try clearing cache, Dalvik and fixing permissions in Recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tummytom10:
Ok thanx im kinda new to this do I have to reflash everything or can I just flash the new kernel over my ROM now

sent from My Own Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Just flash the kernel. Don't forget to wipe at least Dalvik in recovery. Preferably cache too.

Hey scott, is there any reason for you not to add this in your next build?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732722

basically just changing the radio.on value in "framework-res\res\xml\power_profile.xml" from 34 to 3.4 to better estimate cell stand by usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ummm... Because I did that a long time ago?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
oh haha, then mine must have gotten messed up somehow... using dirty tweaks or kinda crap mods maybe (I don't know if they even mess with framework)?? anyways the point is I checked it and it was at 34 so I didn't know you had that already :)

[ edit] looks like kinda crap mods has it's own framework-res.apk ... please forgive my noviceness :)

Its all good man! No worries. I will talk with Austin tonight...

But I am working on 2.5 so it really doesnt matter... New mods will need to be created anways because they did some stuff tothe framework. I noticed a lot of referneces to GPS changes. And my GPS seems better!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fugazzi69:
will 2.5 be ota VRLG7 based? just curious.

2.5 huh... what happened to .2, .3, and .4 .. burn down and fall into swamp :victory:

still lovin' the 2.1

Can't wait for it, need to get off my old rom. Hopefully the new flash and wipe will fix any issues I have with Wifi or random OS shut downs.

How are people getting Google Now to work?? Downloaded the M7_Velvet apk, renamed it as GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, replaced it in sys/apps/ and restarted. Every time I get it to open up the screen goes white then black and the whole system freezes!! How do I get it to work??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
Stupid Verizon is trying to update over my cleanROM. I keep canceling, but what happens if I miss the cancel before the timer runs up? Will this update mess up my perfectly running set up, or will it just fail?

When I check for an update the setting menu force closes. Like it should cause it's disabled. Not sure why yours is doing that

Did you freeze SDM 1.0? That is supposed to stop it from downloading anything, worked so far for me.

Haven't seen it come up yet since freezing that file. I think that may have done the trick.

Did you clear Dalvik and fix permissions as well as set the required permissions on the APK and associated files as specified in the directions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlassEyedPete:
Same Here

Is there a solution for this, because it's happening to me as well on CR 2.1 with the 1.2 CK?

For the time being, I've been able to long press the VPN I want to disconnect from, select edit network, and then save without making any changes. That disconnects the VPN, but it's not ideal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] syde1020:
Is it safe to under clock down to 1ghz? If so would it improve battery life???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Yes it will save a lot of battery but I think that's way too low to have as a Max Clock speed. You're going to have a slow experience.

Is anyone else on cleanrom losing their Google maps? It was there last night and today it is gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TelloMan:
YES!!! I thought I was taking crazy pills! What gives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
It first happened the other day, so I wiped everything, went back to totally stock. I re-rooted, unlocked bootloader again and then flashed the rom and kernel again. Today maps is gone again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danperde:
I still have them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Whenever a new stock base is out I bump up to the next highest version number ending in .5 or .0. So peoiple know its a major change. And a new base is a completely new ROM.

WTF?!?!?! No, never happened to me once.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SMR-DINO313:
Is google wallet pre installed on the clean rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
No it's not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Epic so stoked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Scott, is 2.5 deodexed? I'm guessing not since it would have been mentioned in the post.

Thanks for the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
And it's Odexed!

For those that insist on De-Odex I may do a limited edition later on.

Its bug free, as always, but no OC kernel because of lack of source :( IM very sad about this.

But it runs like hell!

Will be working with Austin to make a new Mod Pack tonight more than likely.

Also have some Asus work to do so... For now I think you will enjoy this.

I trimmed the fat a tiny bit more, added some more optimizations, took out all VZW stuff all together until I have more time to figure it out. Which I am sure I will but for the meantime... Do it the old way, download the "log in assistance from Play store then add your fav VZW bloat.

-Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Correct. Im sorry man, I know we all have differnt needs but I dont understand the desire for de-odex when it slows the ROM down and degrades performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TypoCorrecto:
Great work once again...Can't wait for your ASUS ROM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I didn't know deodex would slow down the phone. It's my understanding that deodex carries a small performance hit but only on 1st load after which the OS caches it. But I may be wrong!

I only wanted deodex so I could use the various themes and mods, e.g. the status bar mods, systemui.apk tweaks etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Yes finally I love odex an didn't have time to try the method you tried helping me with. Work all day haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dogredwing1:
Thanks for the awesome rom! its the first rom i loaded on my gs3 that i got today:highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Tyring to get it done tonight.... No promises but I wiplan on working it hard after work...

All of thos will work just fine, you simply need to run an odex script.

And I wouldnt say... Slow down all the time... But what you are saying is not true about intial load. It happens every time you load that APK into memory, lets say for example... You use Google Maps... Everytime that progam loads fresh it has to load the de-0odex file making it larger and slower. This is true of every file on the phone.

If you want to use themes and apps just ask and I can show you how to make them compatible. Its so easy but people are just afraid to ask me or something... IDK

Glad you like it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
I'm pumped! About to try this out now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Thanks a lot, didn't know I could run a script to odex. Off to research into this, if I have questions I will ask you. Are KindaCrapMods and DirtyTweaks still supported on 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No. I talked wiuth Austin (Dirty Tweaks) and he will start working on updated ones soon.

As far as re-odexing, its easy... Just let me know if you need help or start a thread and point me to it.

ALSO: I would not use the G1 Kernel on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
2.5 rom is running silky smooth. I'm running imo's .10 kernel with no issues. All of your roms have been trouble free, great performance and battery life. The only mod I have been missing is a center clock mod. I saw this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901407 (and tried it) but it doesn't work on the G7 base. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
I'm scared to move up to 2.5. I'm on 2.1 and am at 44 hours off charger, 2.5 hours of screentime and still have 30something left of my battery and haven't had a single glitch, lag or error. I feel like I've already reached the pinnacle of Android ROMs.

Noob question here but I was hoping someone would answer. I keep seeing "G7" base. Can someone explain that a bit more for me?

Running great, but want to proceed with caution to not screw anything up.

Thanks for the ROM Scotr, no issues regarding stability, speed or battery life. Quick question though for anyone who might know... When I was running stock, web browsers (namely Dolphin) would redraw the page and repaginate text after a zoom in or out. I can't get that to work on CleanROM. Any ideas?

Sweet been looking forward to 2.5 can't wait to flash this evening. Good times ;) thx!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Downloading 2.5 now. Thanks Scott!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
It means that you it was made form the Verizon G7 OTA. If CR 2.1 worked then this should work for you. Although, I advocate returnign to stock, taking OTA, then tooring an dunlocking agian so you have all matching firmware. You dont have to but thats what I did.

1. Yeah, Just edit the SysUI XML's and you should be good. maybe someone will make a mod for it. Personally I like it and will be keeping it.

2. Yeah, just grab the old ones and overwrite the new ones. I tried it on thde ULE but for some reason it wouldnt work at all it was werd so I think there may be a lib file somewhere that may be causing it. If I get time I might look into that.

Yep, on the last page you had that option. YOu can dirty flash and install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
Im on 2.1, what is the best way to install 2.5? Titanium backup my games (for the save data), and just full whip install, than restore backups?

Just updated to 2.5. Running great so far! Only question I have is, was there an option to install the brightness slider in the notification bar? The OP says the the pull-down is completely stock, but mine still has the customizable quick panel, but no more brightness slider.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thanks!

Yeah, let me try to clarify that some....

The prior ROM had a modified Pull down with slightly differnt colors and icons. This one has all fonts, sizes, colors, etc reverted to stock plus it has the addition of 15 toggle mod.

Brightness mod is not in this one yet.
