Has anyone tried Music Hub? I've tried running it, but it will not connect to my Samsung Account. It just keeps trying, but never succeeds. I was wondering if anyone else tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
If you don't have a custom recovery then you can, however I don't recommend it, plus you may lose root unless you have an OTA survival mode root app.

I'm about to Jinx myself, but here I go.

After a lil trial and error, I've never been so happy with a ROM on ANY device. That includes the CleanROM on my HTC Incredible.

I had to take my time to tackle each issue individuality to get my phone working great! All of the people on this board have been so helpful and searching for the answers have been very easy. Just wanted to give a shout not just to the developers but everyone that made patches, given out links, and helped troubleshoot issues.

You guys rock. Can't wait for JB CleanROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
Try the AGPS fix. Once installed, clear the cache and fix permissions. Reboot a couple times and then turn it on. The first time takes a couple minutes, but after that its almost instant for me.

***Of course. Back your ish up first.

Does anyone know if you can use one of the launchers from Jelly Whiz with this rom? Other than that all is great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ercDROID:
I have to say that after my first day i am very disappointed with the battery life of this rom. I was on cm10 for a while and odined back to stock yesterday. I took update then rerooted, unlocked, flashed cwm, flashed hd modem followed by 2.5. I set up everything and then flashed hd kernel. Am i doing anything wrong? The rom itself is very nice and i want it to work but i have 12 hours on battery with under 1 and 1/2 hours of screen time and 35% battery left. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
ok so i went and got the g7, and i couldnt get cwm in install, so used goo manager to do TWRP, flashed, wipped system, cache with TWRP, flashed clean 2.5, and then it said "verizon found unauthorized software on this phone, please take it to the store immediately," so i am using odin to go back to stock rooted, and try again. WTH am i doing wrong, been at this all day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stang6790:
Did you unlock the bootloader with the easy unlock app before flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
yes, and the unlock symbol was on the booting up proccess under SAMSUNG

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

TO get this, take the ota g7 update, root, then use ezunlock, reboot, then use power off, get into dl mode, and then flash cwm and done?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stang6790:
If the bootloader is unlocked you should see no symbol. It should boot like normal except when you see the Samsung it will only appear for a split second vs the 2 or 3 seconds of the locked bootloader. I'm pretty sure the only time you get that message is if your bootloader is locked, but I'm sure someone will correct me if that is not the case. I would say odin back to stock and try again. There is also the ez recovery app to flash CWM. I used the root debug method and then the ez recovery and ez unlock apps and had no problems.

Only thing with wake locks is that every time you get a message the phone wakes. How do you prevent that?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tee00max:
Yeah I'm running it now and everything seems good with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
Yeah, but I just want to get my hands on the update.zip - hopefully I can do that without it actually being applied. G7 failed to install if one had a custom recovery. I expect this will do so as well or better yet I can defer installation and just grab the zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
The fix is in post#2 on the first page. Scott put up a flashable zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tee00max:
I'm not flashing anything anytime soon because this battery life is keeping me right here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cjoc:
You have to flash Samsungservice.zip. search the thread for that file.

okay so cleanrom 2.5 is great and all but i dont think i will ever leave 2.1 and clean kernel 1.2... best combo ever!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pcm2a:
What makes 2.1 better than 2.5? I'm asking because I am on 2.0SP1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mademan420:
More than likely, the kernel that is included with 2.1(CLEAN KERNEL). 2.5 has been great for me even without a custom kernel...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeepSRT8:
So can we go install 2.1 if we are on the g7 base?

Beats

Afternoon Folks,

Quick question, IS anyone else having any issue with installing Beats Root. I download it and install but GS3 locks up when trying to reboot then, I pull battery and it stuck in Boot Loop.

Any Suggestions are aprpeciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mademan420:
Sure!!! As long as you wipe:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
Lol, I guess you'll find out then ;)

I'm not sure about 2.0, but I dirty flashed from 2.1 to 2.5 without any issues. I also flashed the power and resource zip from xyno that was part of the G7 ota update (may have to search the thread, it was a while back now).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeepSRT8:
cool gonna try 2.1 with 1.2 kernel that i keep reading about...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
Why is battery terrible with 4200mah battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mademan420:
I beleive you will have to download and flash Clean Kernel 1.2 separately since Clean ROM 2.1 came with an older verison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
You may want to try calibrating the battery, if you haven't yet. First though I would check running processes and disable anything that might be trying to update your location in the background. Better Battery Stats is helpful for finding partial wakelocks, etc. Finally, I hate to say it, but I've heard horror stories about "extended" batteries not being all that great, at least depending on what brand you have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
i get much better than that on stock battery...i debloated the hell out of the ROM though and deleted everything that I don't use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travis.bridges10:
I am currently running LiquidSmotth RC5 which came with a custom Kernel. I am still new to flashing etc, but I just want to be sure Ive crossed all my t's and dotted the i's. Under installation it says must have compatible Kernel or stock. I am assuming that means that a Kernel is not included. What should i do? Restore my nandroid backup of stock rom + root + unlocked then flash this? Flash a stock Kernel? A big thing to me is battery life, so... What would be the best way to handle it? And I can do that google now flash at the same time I flash the rom, correct? I will be performing a full wipe. Format system, format data, format cache before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
A kernel is included. Afaik, if you go with CleanRom 2.5, there isn't another officially-supported custom kernel, so just stick with the one that's included. CR 2.1 was compatible with CleanKernel 1.2. You can experiment if you want to (others in this thread have), but I'm personally getting great battery life and performance on the stock kernel, so have little desire to bother. As for you, you should just need to wipe everything, install CleanRom, select your options (you'll be prompted), then off you go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Is there anyway to remove the text under a app while on home screen? I don't mind it being there in the app tray. I'm not using any after market launchers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travis.bridges10:
Thanks for the help. When you say "stock kernel" you are referring to s3's kernel correct? If I wanted to run 2.5 with stock kernel, then how would i approach that? I think im starting to understand everything, just want to be sure. Ive spent days on here researching and Im just boggled at everything. Im not inpressed with this liquidsmooth. Im looking forward to CR 2.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
Sorry, I was referring to the one that's included in CR. In any case, I believe CR 2.5 uses the stock Samsung kernel anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travis.bridges10:
Thanks again... Here we go...

oh yea can I flash the google now at the same time following flash of CR, but no reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I'm not sure if it's much help, but with Nova you can (and Go and probably Apex). I know TW isn't bad, but there's always one or two little things I end up missing from the aftermarket launchers. FWIW, I'm a happy Nova user (formerly a diehard Go user), and the free version is plenty good.

I already have a stock nandroid. Thats ok right? I dont want to use up the memory to back this up if I dont have to, like i said im not crazy about it. Ill just keep the rom zips for later if necessary. I already have Apps backedup with TB and MyBackup for safe keeping. Had problems the first time when I flashed this rom. Lost half my apps. Can I flash the Gnow at the same time following CR flash but not rebooting first?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BenMGP:
Full wiped and flashed. Did not flash OTA update. Using Set CPU to underclock minimum.

This ROM has been much more stable for me over others I have tried so far. No reboots and smooth scrolling.

Battery life has not been as good as the others I have been on, but I am assuming thats just the stock kernel not being tweaked yet.

Has anyone tried HDMI out?

Sorry for the semi off topic question, but I'm looking to tweak CleanROM 2.1 and I can't seem to find the SystemUI.apk. In 2.5 I found it where I'd normally find that file; in the SYSTEM>APP folder. But for 2.1 it's not there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
It's really up to you, but I usually take a last nandroid of my current rom if I'm about to switch. This way you can go back to how you were. You definitely don't have to though, but you can just delete it later once you've switched for good to CleanRom. I actually use RomToolbox for apps backups, but TiBu should be similar as far as the backup and restore. If you choose to backup your phone to Google (via the normal settings), the Play store will start to try downloading everything again. You may just wnat to stop that, get your backup app (TiBu or MyBackup) and restore your apps from your backups so that you retain the data as well.

I can't say for sure about Google Now -- I haven't installed it. However, I would probably recommend just installing CR first, then boot that up and get setup, then install Google Now when you're ready. I'm not sure if there's first-time init stuff that needs to get done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] McDastardly:
This is good, right? ;)

Imagine if the source code was released and CleanKernel was available for 2.5...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
not bad! ;) I'm currently at 56% after a little over 21hrs and 31% screen on. If I could leave my phone alone long enough, I'm sure I could clear two days (4g all the time). CK would be great, but I can't say I'm too sad about battery life so far.

Here's the update.zip from the VRALHE OTA:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21561294/VRALHE-update.zip

It contains images for the primary bootloader, secondary bootloader partitions 2 and 3, trust zones partition and resource and power management partition. There are patch updates to the kernel and modem and recovery as well as patches to various stuff under /system and a new app "Magazines.apk"

EDIT: sorry, I screwed up - link fixed now.

EDIT again: I DO NOT RECOMMEND TRYING TO FLASH THIS! IT IS THE OTA, WHICH AT THE VERY LEAST WILL SCREW UP YOUR CUSTOM BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF IT FLASHES AT ALL. I posted this for reference for anyone wanting to dig in or needing parts of it for development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
I don't recommend trying to flash this. I posted it for reference for anyone who wants to dig into what's inside. Flashing may or may not work, but if it does work it'll overwrite your bootloader and recovery with stock. It might also do other bad things we don't know of yet.

What you CAN safely flash is the other zip I posted above - the RPM one.

Recommend wiping data / Factory Reset in Recovery! --> Completed

Flash ROM and choose options --> Completed

Reboot to System --> FAILS with No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?

This is my 2nd time flashing it, the first time said the same and never loaded the ROM, just stayed on the boot screen.

I'd love to try this ROM out if I could get past this point. I am restoring back to Synergy r73 for now.

Thanks in advance.
