i never had a connection drop after updating to this rom.its awesome and battery life is insane.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
Hey AT&T Galaxy S3 users! (and i717M Canadian users!)

I wanted to share a ROM I am starting to build, it's in its infant stages(notice version 0.1) so this ROM isn't for everyone.

I wanted to build a ROM for especially for noobs, for those of you who are just getting into the game. I do receive a ton of emails from noobs being totally disappointed after trying advanced ROMs like CM9/CM10. Not all but those noobs I wanted to help by building a ROM off the stock ROM.

I know, if you are a noob, you shouldn't be flashing a ROM anyways but there are a ton of noobs who want to flash ROM anyways and I want to support those specific people by building a stock-like ROM but adding cool features so they can slowly transition to other great custom ROMs already here on XDA.

Anyways, if you have any suggestions and you are a total boob and want certain features added/removed, let me know and will work on the next versions.

Thanks!

See Video Review Here

Download:

UPDATE: 8/23/2012 - Users reported having some battery issues with v0.2, this has been fixed, please flash HighOnAndroid kernel after installing ROM over fox fix.

http://galaxys3root.com/highonandroid-galaxy-s3-rom/

If you are coming from a stock AT&T ROM, you don't need to wipe!

If coming from any other ROM, please do wipe!

*Note - This ROM is for NOOBs, if you are an XDA expert, you shouldn't be flashing this ROM! (Go try Kyan, TuchMi, Diet, WanamLite, CM9, CM10, etc...etc...)

P.S. I support the noobs. :p We were all once noobs asking the dumbest questions in the world, no there's no such thing as a dumb question, that's how you get smarter but don't annoy others on XDA with dumb questions.

Man thats awesome, like a champ just rolling the HighOnAndroid out for multiple devices, thats great!

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Features I always like seeing are:

Toggle bar mod (quick panel or something you can change the toggles)

Brightness slider bar below the toggles

Jelly bean animations of course, which you already have done

Maybe some cool battery bar mods as well

I was downloading an AOKP rom, just seen this. It looks as if I have some flashing to do today, there is so much to try out; your video looked great though!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Captjet:
This seems pretty cool... If you could incorporate Google Wallet that'd be great. Downloading and giving this a try. I'll post back with some feedback!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
Power menu would be great to have makes getting to recovery quicker and also I implemented cell standby fix works great and crt off is perfect
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
wonderful idea

power menu is key to assist with recovery access

maybe include TB as an app

keep everything in modules: stock, rooted core ROM and then cwm installable modules: mods, themes, etc. as pre-packaged options for noobs to gain experience to assist in selecting custom roms with more extended and preferred features
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
Exactly what he said. Well put

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
Cool thanks guys,

Will make next version with Wallet, remove all the ATT bloatware, and work on the power menu too with Titanium backup app. Let me know any other apps you think absolutely needed. Great feedback!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
Hey max did you tweak the stock kernel ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
No tweaking the stock kernel yet, I might build a new kernel later down the road, but I do see some issues with battery drainage/heating on custom kernels at this point (I am not pointing fingers at anyone! This is a known issue even with stock kernel) in general. I want to first add some ROM features first before working on the kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chochiwpg:
If you do Tweak the kernel I highly recommend adding in the Badass governor. It's fantastic for adding great battery life while still maintaining great performance as well. Below is a description of what it does, it's been provided in a lot of the Kernel's that @thederekjay (Darkside Dev) creates for the T989 Galaxy S 2. The information is taken from his kernel thread.

What is badass? Thanks to @show-p1984

Well good question. With ICS I (@show-p1984) decided to rework my gb badass which never got released because it was always pushed aside. To break down what it is:

Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)

Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.

Please remember: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery, lots of it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssfirme:
Ohh and maybe remove the att start up tone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bori1030:
how about the wifi tethering or hotspot unlocked for use
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spacecasespiff:
You just might get me to root my phone. I'm not a noob but I like that you added Google now. I like stock tw and this looks like what we will have when jb comes out. Me personally I don't care about all the toggles and stuff like that that the other Roms do. I want way better battery life and even tough I have great battery life, also I can't stand the screen redraw that I get after I come out of my text app please fix that. I like the tweeks that you can do that makes it faster. First one to get me thinking about rooting again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
So max whatcha thinking of adding next? I forgot I think if ya implemented the power menu and tethering I'd be happy camper I'm no noob and flash a lot I have to say great job
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Captjet:
So I've been using the Rom all day and I even flashed (on accident) without wiping coming from Diet Rom and it's been working great. A few things to add as others have stated is extended power menu, wallet, please remove the bloat and perhaps make it available separately, also if you could add default ICS keyboard instead of this Sammy one that would be awesome. Google now (which I love) has been working great as well. This is some good work keep it up :)

Great job! I love the idea, and where you're going!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spacecasespiff:
I would like you to add things that we don't see on other roms. I don't know what that would be. All of if not most of the other roms seem to be all the same with the same stuff. They are good roms but I'm looking for something different. But at the same time keeping tw. I like the cool features that tw has. Most of the other roms are stock and I don't see enough difference in them to want to use them especially that they get rid of the cool features that I like. But in the end it's your rom and I'm sure it will be really good. I I can say that once jb comes out I will probably never root again. I think that jb and tw is a good pair. Meets my needs 100%. Can't wait to see what you will do. I think that you have started to think outside the box with this rom being for noobs. Noobs have to start somewhere. The only thing that I don't like about roms is what you said about things sometimes don't work right. I want a rom where everything works. So all you have to do is make it better as apposed to always fixing something that got broken.

hey max maybe you can somehow incorporate google wallet:fingers-crossed::cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyber_Cyclone:
Hey ZedoMax Your the man. This is by far the only rom which has all the thing I need without the bloatware. Thanks for your hard work.

Just wondering if you can get rid of the boot sound of At&T and just leave the animation? or is it built in on the bootanimation zip?

Also is there a way you can incorporate the Long press or hold volume control feature so you can go next or previous on a heaphone with 3 button controls?

google wallet would be nice too.

and last but not least is there a way to change the Screen Timeout feature set to never instead of 10 minutes?

None of the S3 roms have it.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cyber_Cyclone:
Also another thing i was wondering if it could be fixed. The battery life is not good. Not sure why but in stand by with data wifi and bluetooth toogles off the battery drains pretty fast in stand by. Around 25% with in 3-4 hrs while im sleeping. Not sure if this can be fixed. Thanks for you help

Google Wallet workaround

Watch Zedo's video he mentions why there is no Google Wallet. It does not work with our phones yet without a hack performed and it would be useless to include in a ROM for now. Take a look over in this thread for more details.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
Yes exactly, I can put it on but you would still have to change build.prop back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
Sorry there was a bug in the kernel, you can fix this by flashing HighOnAndroid kernel here now over v0.2 (just install without wipe in CWM):

Can I get a link to your github? For your app to sd mod
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
You can just take a look at the files here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849857

The whole code is here, very short actually, at startup the script tries to mount your microsd card as VFAT or EXFAT. If one of them succeed, then it uses grep to see that there is a SD card and mounts the internal storage to sdcard parition.

If there's no microsd card, the mounts fail and the grep will not mount.

#!/system/bin/sh

#extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage #and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The resut is a very big increase of installable apps on gs3

I just want to thank you for developing this awesome rom! If I want to try jellybean and my device is encrypted for my work email. Last time I tried encrypted after I installed kyan rom and it would never encrypt (left it over night). So my question is will I loose encryption when I go to jellybean since I will have to factory reset?

Thanks in advance.

Be the way, your download server is down...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
first, not sure on Kyan ROM you should ask Kyan for that ROM but I didn't touch anything for this ROM as it's mostly stock so it should work. Not sure on the last question though, I am not an expert on encryption issues, can someone care to teach us noobs?

Boot animation

Hey Max, just flashed this today and so far it has been awesome. Thanks.

I really liked the custom boot animation the first time I booted up with your ROM. But now it boots up too fast and it doesn't even make it to the good part. If I delete the bootanimation.zip in system\media folder, will it revert to default? Or do I have to replace it with a .zip of the original?

...and now it is H icon instead of 4G, correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
If you delete it you will get default android boot animation, I erased the original samsung ones to space. However, you can go here http://androidbootanimation.com/ and download your favorite boot animation and replace it.

No, you should getting 4G LTE for 4G and H for HSPA+. If you are not getting 4G LTE, it may be your network or your data partition could be corrupt. The only way to fix data partition is to do a reset in Settings, this will erase everything on your internal storage so make a backup before doing that if that is the case!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
Still a little confused where HSPA falls. I see my icon change sometimes to 3G, H, and H+. According to AT&Ts coverage map, there is 2G-Edge, 3G, 4G, and 4G-LTE. I am not currently in the 4G-LTE zone, but the 4G. Should I be seeing the "4G LTE" icon in this area or am I okay?

I just want to be certain before I go and reset. Thanks

Flashing stock ATT firmware on Canadian I747M?

Like the title says, I wanna flash this but the last time I flashed a ROM based on ATT stock, the ATT Device Manager kept trying to register my device and it was really annoying. Then eventually, the AT&T software would stop responding. Any way to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zedomax:
there are times it may just be the network today i dropped to 4g randomly so just give it a good test in at least 2 locatioms with good signal first.

In the next update you can add:

Use camera in call & Low battery

No Increasing Ringtone

Sms off call log

hey man,

big fan of your kernels from the galaxy s2.

Along with suggestions efrommel made, i have one more...

maybe this is just a personal preference thing...but the notification pull down seems very bloated. If i have vibrate on, all the icons on the right (clock, signal, 4G, and vibrate) take up about half the notification tray almost. Maybe consider slimming down the 4g logo? Or even better, making the AM/PM icon smaller?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgs2_1.6:
Love the 4gLTE on this rom simply beautiful. One of the best rom here. Love the idea of a tweak out stock rom. On the next update are you able to add crt off animation, and image scroll. Once again rom is just amazing.
