Just to be clear, I used that app while on VRLF2 and it works on VRLG1. I can't speak on whether or not it works on VRLG7. I wanted to ask you this, if you do go stock and accept the update, couldn't you just use Odin to return to VRLF2 or VRLG1 then root/unlock? I know it's time consuming but the way I've been led to understand it, we can use Odin to revert to older firmware whenever we want as of now.

I've been trying all night to get NFL Mobile to work with this ROM.

I tried installing the VZ login client etc & absolutely nothing works.

Can anybody help me out??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
For those of you who like Kinda Crap mods like hiding the battery icon and having ICS Blue clock and toggles but still want the fancy icons for Calendar, Messaging, etc. from the Real Icons Theme...

1. Boot to recovery and flash a version of CleanKernel (I used 1.2 and it worked for me). Wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions.

2. If you're on a stock- ICS-based ROM (like CleanROM), dirty flash CleanROM (I had and reflashed 2.1).

3. Reboot and allow apps to update.

4. Reboot to recovery, flash the Real Icons Theme, wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions.

5. Reboot into ROM and allow apps to update.

6. Reboot into recovery, flash Kinda Crap Mods, do NOT reboot after flash.

7. Once you're back at recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions again, and reboot.

Hope this helps!

Scott,

Thanks for your hard work. I'm enjoying your latest rom a lot.

The only issue I'm having is not being able to send mms with the stock messaging app sometimes.

Sometimes I'll get an error message saying the pic format is incompatible, other times it gives max image size errors, other times it won't send at all.

This occurs with native taken phone pics, or random jpegs and pngs.

If you could look into it, it would be appreciated.

For those getting sceen flicker when using the CRT Animation, does it only happen when you are plugged into the computer via USB cord or plugged into the socket?

I noticed it last night for the first time while plugged into the computer. Once I disconnected, the flashback flicker was gone again. Plugged it in to charge and noticed it again. It doesn't happen when not on the cord. Not sure if I had it before or if it started after applying the mod to change the green to blue on notifications.

When I had my Rezound running CleanROM, the Messaging app allowed me to save a backup of my texts, which resulted in a file with no extension that I cannot open in any Windows application. However, on my S3, the Messaging app doesn't allow for this type of backup, so I have been using Titanium Backup to export the Messaging messages to XML which I can then open with Excel and perform various tasks to get the information I need. The problem I have is that I need to be able to convert those backups from the Rezound. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I beleive its AOSP actually. I am not 100% sure but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

There is an APK or two in the /system/app folder. You can try freezing them if that is what you are going for.

Nah dude, if you ever take a harrasing call from someone like a landlord that is way out of line and need to get her fired you would understand...

I dont think you need to record every call but some are smart to record.

Could you go into the Rezound ROM, use TIB, export to SGS3 then impor tthem there? Or do you not have the Rezound any more?

I am currently stock rom, with unlocked bootloader and just cwm flashed the vrlg7 modem from advice here. So far no problems.

I've finally decided that this is the rom for me - and it looks like I will be reset to vrlg2. Can I just re-flash back to vrlg7 or should I wait for you to re-base the ROM - meaning, will you do any more than just add vrlg7 as I would do manually?

Just finished installing rom and clean kernal 1.2. Went to bed with exactly 100%, woke up with my battery at 24%..... I don't know what the f*** just happened, but I definitely came on this rom to join some bettery battery life. lol

So I checked my battery and seen what was taking up all the power, idle...... i then checked the other app that I have and it says that the radio took up 74% out of 100, out of the total 76% battery drain. So I guess hopefully someone will have an answer or a couple suggestions for me to try when i get back. And i did turn off everything, i.e internet, wifi, auto rotate, blah blah. And yes I did do that other fix of turning off wifi when phone is idle(in the settings bar). I've went through all the other setting and made sure I changed it back to other peoples in the forum for the least amount of battery drain.

Sooo, help please =]

Part of me wants to say reflash the rom but don't wipe anything and install it via Aroma Installer. This rom is the first time I've ever used Aroma so I can't tell if that would wipe the phone or not.

If you have a custom recovery, which you should since you're on this rom, then the update will fail. I'm not sure what to freeze to prevent OTA notifications in the future though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SubliminalME:
Why wouldn't you just download Google Talk from play?

Found a threat in the General forum that answered my question. I froze SBM with TiBu, then went into my cache folder and found another folder called fota. There is an update.zip file that is the downloaded update. I deleted that and have had no new notifications for software update.

Flashing the ROM over without wiping, you can chose to install GTalk. And your settings will be retained, but all the mods you flashed after you flashed the ROM will be gone.

Maybe you would like to give SMS Backup+ a try. It saves your messages on your Gmail.

Any way I could get a link to cr 2.0? That ran the best out of any ROM for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
The issue with SMS Backup (and pretty much all other SMS backup processes other than TiBu) is that it doesn't save your MMS messages. Also, Gmail only allows for 100 (or so) messages per thread. TiBu's process, when backing up via the Schedule feature, is compatible with all phones and OS versions (if rooted) and saves your MMS messages as well. The issue is that I didn't know about the TiBu method when I had the Rezound, and now I have all of these backups from the Rezound's stock MMS app in a format I can't read on the S3 or on the PC and I need the messages for some legal proceedings that are coming up. So when I say "need," I really mean need! lol

Since CR2.1 is an ICS- and stock-based ROM, and since it's already been tested with the G7 radios, you should have no issues with dirty flashing over an OTA or stock ROM. However, since you're "downgrading," you may run into some issues, but nothing that should stop the phone from booting. There is definitely enough of a chance that you'll have no issues to give it a try. However, if you are unable to boot past the Samsung logo at boot or have any issues once booted such as high battery usage, app freezes or crashes or OS instability, you would then need to wipe data and there'd be no need to re-flash CR2.1 at that point. Also, I would definitely clear cache and dalvik as well as fix permissions before flashing. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I hated the g7 radio personally. G1 has been great for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Same here. With the G7 radios, I had several instances where the WiFi on/off toggle wouldn't respond and then the whole phone would lock up for about 2 minutes, then all of the icons in the status bar would disappear, the phone would revert back to the lock screen (I use the pattern lock) and then the icons would come back one by one. It reminded me of when explorer.exe crashes in Windows and then reloads. I flashed back to G1 and have had no issues since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danperde:
I use SMS Backup and it backs-up your MMS as well. And when it reaches Gmail's 100 posts/thread limit, it creates the next thread, and so on until all your messages are backed-up. So I have all my SMS and MMS in a folder called SMS. Here's proof it saves MMS:

And as far as recovering your TiB messages, can't you import them in the S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Its on the site in the SGS3 section under recent archives....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I must have been blind lol restored my 2.1 backup anyways haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
That's the problem. The messages from the Rezound weren't backed up by TiBu. They were backed up using the Rezound's stock messaging app, which created files with no extension that cannot be viewed on the S3 or Windows on the PC.

The "soft brick fix?" Elaborate?

If you flashed CleanROM without any errors, then the phone WILL boot, there is just something present that is stopping the process. However, to use CleanROM, you MUST have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and you already flashed CleanROM, you will need to Odin back to OTA/stock, download EZ Unlock for S3 from the market, run it and then re-flash CleanROM. If you don't already have a custom recovery installed, see the OP for more information regarding using a custom recovery.

If you are already running an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery and have flashed CleanROM, perform a battery pull, leave it out for about five seconds, reinsert the battery, then press and hold the home and volume up buttons. With those buttons pressed, press and hold the power button. While you continue to press and hold all three buttons, you will see "Samsung" quickly flash on and off. Do not release the buttons. You will then see another bit of content flash for just a tad longer, which will also have a small bit of blue text in the upper left corner. Once you see that, you can release the buttons and you should boot into recovery, where you can wipe caches, wipe dalvik and fix permissions, and then reboot the phone. If it still won't boot, pull the battery again, repeat the button-press process to get back into recovery, wipe all data and reboot again. CleanROM should now boot without issue.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Can I flash this if I have the new radio installed vrlg7? I'm rooted and unlocked...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
Yes, just flash as you normally would using the custom recovery. Dirty flash has worked for me and will most likely work for you as well as long as you are coming from either a stock G1 ROM or another custom ICS ROM based on stock G1. If you're coming from a CM or JB custom ROM, you'll need to perform a full data/cache/dalvik wipe (and fix permissions).

Regardless of what you're coming from, make sure to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions using recovery prior to flashing. If you're coming from the new G7 OTA, it appears Scott is recommending a full data/cache/dalvik wipe prior to flashing CleanROM.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Unfortunately most of my saved MMS/SMS messages contain sensitive information and, because I can't see the contents of any of the backup files, I am unable to determine which file would be acceptable to send. I appreciate your interest though. I guess what I need to do is find someone using a rooted Rezound who doesn't care about their current text messages (since restoring from a backup wipes all currently-stored messages) and then use TiBu to back them up to CSV.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

I wish it was. I am able to open my TiBu CSV backups in Excel and access all messages, and I have tried to do the same with these, but unfortunately Excel just errors out, indicating it cannot read the contents of the file.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I think it's gone unanswered cuz there likely aren't any of us who have tried. I can tell you why it may have failed, which is due to his rom being odex and that thread you posted states it needs to be a deodexed rom. Unfortunately, I can't say it will work unless Scrosler posts a deodexed version. Just going by what I see listed in that Google Now thread OP. I don't know the "why" just that its unsurprising that it does fail.
