me three!!!

I've googled and tried all the solutions I could find with nothing working:

I've cleared play store data and search history

wiped cached

wiped dalvik

removed google account and re-added

tried flashing rom again

then finally i tired turning airplane mode on and then off and now it seems to let me download and update apps...

maybe it was just a coincidence and play store servers were having issues and are now back??

[edit]

seeing as how hypertek did the same thing i already tried but his is back about the same time mine is and we did different things, i'm going to go with play store server problems that are now fixed!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
Scott,

Your sir, are a f'ing gangsta. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rudy_Ruettiger:
I did nothing and now im back...it must have been the play store servers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squiggie:
Google was updating play services with the new Auth functions prolly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
Just for clarification before I flash this. I am on cleanrom 2.1 with clean kernel 1.2. Do I need to go back to the stock kernel before I flash this? I have downloaded the stock kernel and it is showing as a tar file. Do I need to odin the stock kernel before I flash 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Word up!

IM puttin that in the OP! UNHACKABLE!!!

Man, last night... No kidding... I effed around with ply store for like 3 hours... It told me things I bought I did not buy, told me my account was not authorized to use the play store, told me all SORTS of stuff...

I said to myself... HOW THE HELL did I screw Google play store??? I said to myself... Scott, you know the ROM is solid, go to bed, its 7:00am but start the upload now. So I answered myself... Yep, your right, gotta be on Googles side, IM going to bed. I answered myself... Good night man! Sleep well!!

Got up a few hours later for work tested play store and it was fine, then posted links to the ROM. You can thank google for this isht being about 8 hours late, lol

This has been going on every night for the past 3 nights... No kidding! I get out of work at midnight and I test new ROM builds at like 3:00am and thats when I have been noticing it. Never saw it during the day or even this late at night.

Word up son!

Yep, they were doing something... Those bastards!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Thanks for the amazing rom. Only one little pet peeve of mine and i tried googling the answer to no avail. Any way to remove the battery fully charged icon? :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SMR-DINO313:
Hahah scott. Im waiting on the OP update bro.

Cant wait for some mods, maybe themes be added..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I dont persnally have any plan on removing it but it can be done with a a simple mod to SysUI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
Plz say navigation keys can be enabled and hard waste keys disabled. Want this ROM so bad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgrimberg1979:
Op

Is there any way we can get the brightness slider for this and the ultra light version?

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

No why would it be? It's not an aosp based Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Anything is possible but sadly I am working a ton of overtime. Wont have oppurtunity to do it any time soon. Donations have been exceptionally slow so I have to resort to making money the old fashioned way :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
VisualVoicemail is in Post #2 for the one guy who asked for it earlier....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Herbbowlman:
One strange thing I'm seeing, and I saw it with that UL version: If I take a picture with HDR enabled, it saves 2 pictures. One with HDR and one without.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Milly7:
Geez you are going to make me flash this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
That's supposed to happen ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Herbbowlman:
Really? I don't recall it doing the same on stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
My phone showed huge improvements (4x 4g speed increase) with just the g7 modem flashed over cleanrom 2.1 and even more improvements (super quick & accurate gps lock) with the complete package. So glad for cleanrom 2.5 g7 base!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanInAj:
Dirty flashed 2.5 over 2.1 and everything's working great! We love CleanROM - snappy, stable, and great battery thus far. I love being able to compare GS3's CR with EVO's MR(gf has the GS3).

Still waiting for CR to eclipse 9K/6K on antutu/quadrant respectively, but regardless of that this thing is still an iPhone killer! Thanks Scott!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
I also had to reinstall my kernal, cleankernal. I suppose clreanrom2.5 uses the stock kernal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
This is probably more of a general question, but when do you sugest we completely odin back to a rooted/stock form prior to installing a custom ROM? Does and odin do anything that a custom recovery system/data wipe wouldn't do (besides flashing a stock kernel and recovery).

I want to make sure I have as clean of a start as possible going into 2.5.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
Mines always done that on CR. Thought it was the norm...?

Affirmative
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
ok I'm not trying to be rude, but seriously I am in awe at how many people post before reading even the OP. and if you don't want to read every thread on every page, at least skim the pages and read all the posts by scrosler and many people's questions will be answered.

sorry hyptertek, I'm not trying to single you out by replying to your post and to answer your question yes it is stock and Scott recommends not using clean kernel with g7 based roms like cr 2.5 but ymmv as some people get it to work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok so its not placebo then! Sweeet! Yeah, much better all around!

It all depends man. I like to apply the entire OTA to my phone so I ODIN'ed back to G1 and then I took OTA. I wanted the radios and anything else that comes with it. To me that eliminates any conflicts, for example, radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Well if I odin back to LF2 via the ROOT66 file (I don't see a G1 odin file), then I can still take the OTA, right? Then what? Un-root again and unlock the bootloader and then flash Clean 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
There is a G1 Odin file here somewhere. Someone has it because I used it to make my first ROM. I dont recall where it is though.

I guess you could do it your way but I cant say the results will be the same. I never had the F2 ROM on my phone. Game with G1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
Damn, this rom v2.5 is already over 600 downloads
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
Definitely not a placebo effect. I obsess over GPS and speed tests and there is definitely significant improvements being made here. Although determining the exact cause is may remain a mystery though. New modem, libs, kernel, less solar flairs, verizon bumping up tower power for the iphone 5, etc, etc...?

The next step from here is has to be an official JellyWiz release!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
Alright, I just saw the 2.5 name listed in the title and jumped on the last few comments to flash. But so far so good, I havent ran into any problems with cleankernal installed .

I might consider going back to full stock, take the OTA, than root, unlock and flash it again. If that would really make a difference.

scrosler awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Scott, 2.5 is so super smooth - it's quite amazing!

In an earlier thread you mentioned the possibility of doing a write-up on how to create a odex file for a deodexed one. +1 to that. I'd be very interested in the read!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidiam:
Is anyone else having the camera app force close after a clean install? It will bring up camcorder but closes when I switch to camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] niv3d:
No sir I'm not seeing this. Try reflashhing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Mine is working perfectly. Try fixing permission in recovery mode.

New Video Review of Clean Rom 2.5 by me....Feel free to post in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
So just so I understand correctly and im not trying to be funny. To get the best results we should revert to stock accept all the ota's,then flash the latest build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
I don't think that is necessary. I came from Synergy. Wiped everything, fixed permission, etc..flashed 2.5 and I haven't had an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdubau55:
This is the OTA. Just the CleanROM version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adeyo:
Ok, I'm now getting a Verizon software update...it seems to be forced (no option to dismiss, only defer a few hours). Are you saying I revert to stock, run this update and then flash cleanROM again?? Is anyone else getting this update pushed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Funny thing is, I've flashed many roms and I have not gotten any update prompt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Not bad at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Do you have a tower in your backyard ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Lol possibly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Loving 2.5 so far. Would like to see the brightness slider back in the pull down though. Any chance of having this as an option?

www.droid-life.com/2012/09/15/update-for-verizons-galaxy-s3-rolling-out-now/

Seems to break universal search function as per patent war with apple
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thunderbread:
I believe that Scott mentioned that's what he did. I did it and went back to stock and accepted the update myself. Rooted and unlocked using casual method. Flashed 2.5 and it's perfect as usual. Not that u have to do it that way but I'm glad I did. Your call though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MadWicket:
I dirtied fished all is well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
What if you are on synergy, do a system wipe, flash cleanrom 2.5 and then odin the g7 radio, wouldnt that give you the same results?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
No it's not just a radio...it's a whole new baseband. Scott rebuilt rom around it for 2.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
OK.. I have a really stupid question... Since this is the stock kernel we can not overclock this correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Thanks guys for the info. I actually went back to stock yesterday because my GPS got borked, which fixed my issues thankfully. This was before Scott updated.

I don't know if this has anything to so with my previous GPS issues but all was well, I then flashed slimbean, ran for a day lost imei, did a battery pull which brought it back and from that point I could hardly get GPS to stick.

Just many scenario

Sorry for the misspelling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedescop:
Just wondering but if you flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313 wouldn't you have the latest Verizon baseband and radios? Then just flash CleanROM 2.5?

BTW how is battery life so far on the new 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaintDrinkingPete:
Right, but flashing the ROM itself *should* take care of that...so I tend to agree with ljbrenes. The radio is the only thing that flashing the ROM in recovery can't update (at least that's what I've been led to believe), so assuming you didn't do the whole "back to stock, accept OTA, re-root, etc", then you would have to manually install that piece.

For the most part, this is how I also do it. Once I've rooted, I never go backwards unless there is actually something wrong and I need a fresh start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffk93:
Will flashing this automatically replace cleankernal 1.2 or do I need to flash the stock kernel first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
noticed under storage settings at the very bottom there is a 'backup assistant plus' section where it tries to find out how much storage you have availible...Any way this could be hidden or removed? and/or possibly switched with a dropbox display?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Correct, you can't overclock the stock kernel as it is right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
No kernels just stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yes, flashing this ROM will also flash the stock kernel for you. So yeah, it will replace CleanKernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icon123:
Take this with a grain of salt since I just got my S3 yesterday and immediately put this rom on last night...

My battery dropped 2% in 7.5 hours of inactivity. I can't remember the last time I had a phone/rom that that has happened to. My Nexus would probably have been like 20 to 25%. And I am in a yellow/grey 4g signal area (if you know what that means).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
My baseband version still says 1535VRLG1? Do you have to take the ota update, re root and unlock bootloader? I recovered back to stock rooted and flashed from there

Confirmation number: 3MR54274L8548305X.

Well Deserved! Thankx for a SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET ROM!!!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thunderbread:
No. Use Odin and go back to complete stock unrooted. Then do the update to LG7 with your phone. Then use this http://d-h.st/ypJ to root, unlock, and flash CWM revocery. After that make a nandroid backup and proceed to flash cleanROM 2.5. That's my 2 cents and how I did it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Sorry, read it wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
darn it.....2.5 no longer has voice recording of phone calls....loved that feature regardless of its legalities!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
You can flash the updated radios and that will change the basband version. No need to reflash everything just to get the radio's.

I personally have no problems with the current radio's so haven't flashed the new ones. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Anyway, just installed this Rom and also installed a flashable zip for Google Now. Everything seems to be looking good so far.

Maybe I am the outcast here, but I personally like knowing I am running the stock kernel. I have not tried clean kernel in the past but any other custom kernel I have tried I have yet to see it actually provide better battery then stock and that is my main concern with kernels....I do not see a reason to overclock an already speedy device and have yet to see any major improvement in underclocking. At the end of the day my screen on time always manages to turn out around the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
Any ideas why my gmail will not sync after flashing 2.5? I have cleared data on the gmail app and went into recovery and fixed permissions. also I have made sure that my gmail sync is on but I only receive emails after I hit the sync button.. any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Hmmm, working fine here. Just received an email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
I really wish ROM makers would include that function in every ROM. It can of course be misused but it's perfectly legal *everywhere* as long as both people know they're being recorded. There are tons of legitimate uses for it, my wife is a journalist and interviews people on the phone all the time, they have no problem with her recording the conversations. If you're calling for customer service those calls are almost always recorded, which means you are free to record it yourself to have proof of what a CS rep is telling you.

I mean, it's illegal to make certain types of phone calls (pranks to law enforcement, bomb threats, etc.) but you don't see anyone leaving out phone dialing capability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JaeTea:
Why not just flash the radios zip rather than doing all that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jkat797:
THAT WAS THE COOLEST INSTALL PROCESS I HAVE EVER WENT THROUGH FOR ANY ROM I HAVE EVER FLASHED IN MY LIFE! lol. THAT WAS AWESOME! and great job on the rom! my new daily driver:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
So... Umm... You liked it? lol

Glad you enjoyed it man!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
UPDATE:

I was wrong about the notification on WiFi! I hope to have a fix soon.

My bad to all those that told me I was wrong and I did not listen :o

Lol thanks dude! Was worried I did something wrong.

Nope I pulled a failboat and forgot to put the sqlite3 binaries in.

Big thanks Austin808 gently reminding me in PM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Ok, I got the sqlite binaries to take.

Can someone test this please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UWRF:
It works! I flashed and rebooted and it was still there... went back to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik and boom no more WiFi noiification.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
This worked for me as well.

Scott told me this is caused by setting chrome as the default browser. I have tested this. I Re-installed with the stock browser and I no longer have this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ad78:
so the latest google wallet mod is not working on this ROM.. any work around?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Have you tried it? I dont know myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
And with that being said... I have a new ROM coming right up!

Its a bug fix for all the issues that people pointed out... Cleaned up the Aroma script some, etc... No major feature changes but more little fixes to polish it up some!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback and input. Couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks!

Is the unsecured boot in the new release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No, I decided because the unlock method is so new that not many people will be unlocked and I will end up with a bunch of "OMGOMGOMG My phone wont boot" posts.

You can flash it seperately in my other other post. I encourage you to if you are going to do any mods your self to the file system. Otherwise... Its not at all that needed. I didnt do any tweaks to the RAM disk... Which I will in time.... I just dont think everyone will be ready for it.

This build was primarily to focus on the little issues that people pointed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] je2345:
Has the vzw provisioning been removed from native tethering app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bassett:
I'm gonna ask what will undoubtedly seem like a newbie question. I'm on cleanrom 1.0. Runs smoothly, battery life is better than any other rom I've tried, I don't have any glitches, I don't need to add any vzw apps back in, etc. With that said, is there any practical value in flashing 1.2? Any optimizations, tweaks, etc. that would make things even better? Gut instinct is to leave well enough alone...stick with 1.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davpel:
Thanks! I'm pretty sure this is going to be my daily driver for a while. Will send a donation your way soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DomeHead:
Thanks for the hard work, this ROM is amazing. Any chance of adding in the HX Camera Mod that Synergy has into the next build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
+1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
Hmmmm.. very frustrating:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
Yeah, but isn't this whole rom based around the G7 baseband?..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Does the built in tethering work for free or does it require a mod?

You may like some of the items I put together for Beans rom, users have reported that they work on other roms but I haven't tested this... Worth a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32015956#post32015956

I am running clean Rom 2.1 with the LG7 so I take it that I don't need to revert back. 2.5 here I come. If this is better than 2.1 holy crap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JaeTea:
Maybe I'm slow but wouldn't installl the ROM take care of all that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
the baseband version you see within settings is the radio.. people confuse that with the rom base... flash the new radio from the following link to update your radio to the G7 radio: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-officialmodems-vrlg7-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mooremh:
I'm not sure if anyone else has checked yet, but after flashing 2.5 my system info looks a bit funny.

Isn't the new version supposed to show the baseband as VRALG7 instead of the build number?

Is this just a formatting mistake in the ROM or do I need to re-flash?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just saw the post above and that explains the baseband version number, but what about the build number? Shouldn't it say CleanROM 2.5 or something to that effect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
ok, didn't realize it was fine to use g1 baseband with the g7 base, kind of confused me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adclem:
You have to flash the new radio to get the baseband of VRALG7, look one post above yours, he posted a link to a flashable ZIP of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Just reporting, I just went into the stock browser to Google search, noticed some fingerprints on my screen so I turned it off wiped it off on my shirt, and the phone wouldnt come back on I had to battery pull in order to get it to reboot. Just reporting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
I was under the impression the radio is the baseband. If you flash only the radio the baseband is changed. maybe you meant scott built the rom from the entire g7 ota and not just the radio?

also scott didn't leave out the brightness slider, its an option in the installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mooremh:
Yeah, as soon as I posted and reloaded the page I saw the post above mine. I edited it at the bottom.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daddyscooltv:
is anyone else having gmail sync issues? I did a nandroid back to my old cleanrom setup and I still can't get my gmail to sync on the phone.. It was working fine this morning until I flashed the new 2.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Yes thats exactly what i meant...trying to explain that this isnt just a radio flash..he rebuilt it off if g7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
This is my question also. Reading all the back and forth regarding the baseband and radios is getting confusing. Can someone list the pros and cons of doing a complete un-root to restock, taking the OTA, then re-rooting and going back to CR2.5 - vs - just flashing the radio zip over the current 2.5?

I am showing:
