Maybe a dumb question but what if the folks that wanted to start with the G7 base flashed the G7 stock rooted odex base you have in your downloads and then flashed 2.5. Would that be the same as OTA except already rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
I just did it. Working amazing. Still on stock rooted and unlocked now. Waiting to flash anything since I'm nicely debloated now. Testing battery out lol it's epic so far

Hey Scott,

What's the best way to fix gps issues? It's showing me about 3/4 mi from my house. Not sure what you recommend?

I've seen some other posts just curious as to your suggestions.

And blazing rom so far - my first on any cell, so thanks man! Donation to after I fix a few things!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Hey Scott, I just gave you all my thanks for the day. I know your want that 1200. So someone just needs to hook you up with 5 more.

Have you tried a gps app that can flush your agps info so you can resync it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
I did the whole back to stock routine. This is working great. The only thing i can't get working is Google Now. If anyone can point me to a verified version that works i would be greatful.

As far as minor issues i keep getting the "select input method. Samsung keyboard", no matter what i do.

The security option to disable info text on lock screen took several reboots/on-off cycles for it to stick.

Battery life light use 8 hours and 72% left. Very happy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SMR-DINO313:
I just flashed this version couple hours ago.

Its offline/online google now. I uploaded it for u in my dropbox..

Just go into recovery preferably cwm. No need to wipe anything just flash away and reboot

Used rooted stock all day today. Only one thing I can say. Thank God I flashed this now that I took the official ota. It's flying faster then ever. Stock is nice. Clean is nicer!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, because the stock root that i posted is just that. No firmware / radio / modem, etc... Just stock root ROM that these ROMS are eventually built from.

GPS issues, what Radio are you on?

So this is the google Now that people are asking for?

Thanks guys and thanks to everyone who thanked me :victory:

Wow the idle battery life on this is amazing. Left my phone unplugged all night and it's dropped only 5%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
+1 the idle drain is insane. Insanely good. Sammy did good here. Gps seems a touch snappier on g7 as well. I use the power saver that clocks cpu down to ~1.1 ghz and it really bumps up battery life significantly & specifically while using the phone.

I think I'm getting better battery life with this stock kernel than I've had with lean kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I'm not really sure how to explain that further. Go back to stock means go back to stock. You would do that by flashing a stock ROM and then wiping through CWM. To flash a full stock g7 you could use Odin to flash which will give you ROM+radios.

There are stickies and threads in this very forum with all the necessary files.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
I don't feel nor believe going back to stock makes one iota of a difference. Wipe your phone completely and flash this 2.5 and enjoy ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
You know that's what I thought at first too. I originally just wiped everything and flashed 2.5 but then just for the heck of it last night I decided to odin back to g1 and take the over the air and then flash 2.5 back and after I did I now get 4 bars of 4g in my bedroom where before I only got 3 .... so does it really make a difference or is it just a placebo effect, I don't know, but it sure seemed better to me to odin back and take over the air update first. YMMV!!

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

It's probably not the answer you want but what I usually have to do is get an ap like adaway (free in play store) and click disable blocking when I need to get to a site like that and then when I'm done I just click enable blocking again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Does anyone know where the stock Odin flashable file for the new update is? I purchased Mobile Odin Pro and am going to update this way. I travel and don't have access to a computer most of the time, so figure this will do what I need.

Can I flash just the small update with it or do I have to flash the entire Rom? This is assuming that I can even find it. I am going to do some research on Mobile Odin to see what I can find out, didn't know if any of you have any pointers or advice. I want to flash Clean Rom so bad, but am going to do it the right way that Scott suggested. Thanks for anyone that helps me in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm fairly certain it doesn't exist at the moment. The only Odin versions available are VRLF2 and VRLG1. I have a feeling the Odin flashable won't exist until source is released. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know exactly how the release of Samsung Odin stock firmware files work since my previous device was an HTC.

bootloader and recovery after wipe to stock

Noob question, if I odin back to stock G1 and then take the G7 over the air update, is my bootloader locked again? do I loose my custom recovery? or do they stay and I only need to root after the OTA update?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cesium:
Not sure about bootloader, but you lose root and recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I do the same thing (I use AdAway also)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
If you odin back to stock, you will lose your unlocked bootloader, root and your custom recovery. You will have do it all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
Yuck! not what I was wanting to hear, thanks for the answer.

I wonder if its really worth the trouble or if shold just system wipe and flash 2.5 over synergy and hope for the best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Synergy uses a custom kernel so I personaly wouldnt wipe and flash this without flashing the stock kernel or odin back to stock and ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
Doesnt this rom flash its own kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
yes it does and see my post on prev page (276) about whether to odin or not.

Just wipe data/factory reset an install. I didn't revert back to stock an its running perfect for me. Still trying to decide if I wanna flash the G7 modem though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
No problem.

I would really recommend to odin back to complete stock, accept the OTA, root, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and then flash this ROM.

I just did that the other night and it made a difference. I installed 2.5 without doing that and it just wasn't running as good.

Good luck!

So I just made the switch to clean Rom 1.2 after a clean wipe. 2 issues so far...one my pics won't show up in gallery at all. Removed SD card and rebooted phone and still nothing.

Scott:

Any chance of a dev 'clean' edition. Was running it on the rezound before switching over. That was really sweet.... your roms are the best....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Simple answer.... If what you have works good for you dont bother. The base is identical except for the installer. Otherwise completely 100O identical. V1.0 to 1.2 are all identical sans installer method.

Sweet thanks!

I dont think that that will be someting I add to the ROM. If there is a mod out there then its best to just use the mod.

Soounds like something is not set up right. You can try to disable back up assistance in accounts and sync. As far as the pics? Try putting the card in another phone. There is also a a folder that stores the thumbnails. I cant recall the name of it.

So yeah... If none of that works I would recommend a different ROM if you so choose.

That is correct.

You should be VERY concerned. I heard they are sending out Homeland security and the secrete service if they find out that you modified your phone! Lol, Just kidding. I, personally, couldn't care less.

I want a near AOSP theme for my Developer Edition ROM.

Thats why I RARELY put camera mods in ROMS. 99% of the time they are screwed up in one way or another.

I dont know anything about AOSP. Not my thing... Someone else may have to answer this... BUT.. if you are bootloader unlocked you can just flash my stock modified boot.img from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835731

Seems like you are going to be hindered a little longer my friend... I am waiting for a response from eschelon for some guidance on those two things. Never heard of this stupid root thing (Im a newb). Quite amazing they took all that time to make such a useless app that can be removed once you have root, lol

I can make patch in about 10 seconds... But untill then, you sir, are hindered.

Word!

Corrupted dcim thumbnail folder.

Cool!

Yea, just looking for themers to help me with the theme... But thats still a few revisions out. Still just testing the waters on a 1.x build.

Also been looking at kernel source. I wanna do some OC on this BIOTCH!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok, I know how to block the OTA thanks to eschelon (Im such a newb, lol). I will post up a patch tonight. Its just removing a file: FWUpgrade.apk / .odex and SDM.apk /.odex.

Anyone with a root level file explorer like ES File explorer can just go delete it if you want. Thats it, that simple.

The root checker thing... I will look at that later. Dont see why it matters its not like they cant boot to bootloader and see the system is modified? What other ramifications does it have?
