My experience with the 4.2.2

Hi,

just a short summary for this 4.2.2 ROM:

I came from I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE and started the download from Odin.

I did not wipe.

The ROM is branded Hot mobile (hebrew).

At login screen the keys are shifted.

After login all apps work like a charm, no need for wipe, even Samsung Email app.

I installed NoBloat Free but required root, so I threw it into download mode and installed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300.tar ...

Then I rebooted into recovery and installed SuperSU.

With NoBloat Free I removed all bloat apps like Calender, GPS and so on, also ChatOn and joyn.

I started AdAway and applied blocklist.

Then I reset the flash counter with TriangleAway.

Immediately after reboot I deactivated SuperSU and found

ROM is official, I'm able to check for OTA updates too.

All apps work without fc like usual. Batterydrain over night was about 5%.

Also I found my WIFI is faster and more stable ; )

One last thing I did was installing my keyboard language.

Good ROM anyway!

Is it possible to make a 4.2.2 leaked grey notification bar? The notification bar as it is now is black with white letters which is quite destructive for AMOLED displays in terms of burn-in. Is there anyone who can and wants to make a flash-able notification bar as it is in 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S III General] kta:
Are you using stock recovery? You need CWM recovery for this. The easiest way I found to revert back to the stock animations was to root and then copy the files manually using X-plore (find it in Play store). Someone has shared the files on this thread already. Make sure that you give X-plore root access in Configuration.
[Galaxy S III General] Narenji89:
Yes, delete "csc" and "csc contents" and "wallpaper" folders in system directory Don't worry, there's nothing important in csc folder.

Also you'll have all hidden language enabled using instruction above

Then uninstall bloatwares using Titanium backup .

To get rid of ugly shut down animation, delete "shutdown.qmg" and "video" folder from system/media folder

& for boot animation, copy and replace these two qmg fils: http://db.tt/2IZ6hCZ7 into system/media directory and set permissions to rw-r-r and change owners to 0-root

Now enjoy stock looking 4.2.2 rom!
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Decompile systemui.apk find the xml that contains the hex value for notification bar colours and change it recompile the apk, sign it and copy it over simples.
[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
Thanks for the instructions, though I am not that handy with android, dare I ask you to do it for me? Would be very grateful!
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Good point! Not installed CWM. Anyway thanks for teh advice X-plore and adding files worked a treat!
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
I am very impressed with this FW. Not only is Fast also it is battery efficient. In 7 hours with WIFI on it lost around 5 % (0.7%~0.8% per hour) which is very good considering that this firmware is running an stock kernel without UV.

Full wipe your device first with recovery if you have one.

Go in to download mode

Flash with odin

Firmware will also update your bootloader.

If you use the most recent 2.1.4 apk, Xposed Framework is working fine.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
The firmware will not update the bootloader, the tar contains no sboot and no trustzone, therefore it contains no bootloader update.

Only if you don't wipe data, boot to recovery before you flash, wipe data, then hit reboot and immediately hold Vol-, home and power to boot to download mode and there will be no problems.

Hi Guys!

Using it for 24 hours. Installed it over stock 4.1.2(I9300XXEMD2) with ODIN (wiped NOTHING) and did rooting. Great battery life and no issue at all!

:good:
[Galaxy S III General] evertjr:
I think Mali drivers are still incomplete, I've seen graphical glitches even in touchwiz launcher and when opening and switching between some apps. Dungeon Hunter 4 and World of Goo still have problems just like in CM10.1.

one question, the guide about swiping across icon.. in lockscreen cannot be hide. how to fix?
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Ugh not having much luck with any of the JB firmwares - they all seem surprisingly more buggy than I expected :/

I've moved to the newer LH6 one today (full flash and wiped phone data / cache)

"Swipe over a shortcut to open an app" tutorial window refuses to dissapear despite ticking "do not show again" (and trying to perform the swiping over a lock shortcut) none of which tells the rom to stop bringing the stupid tutorial up every time I unlock.

Also every other ROM I tried recently when I opted to get updates from Samsung were fine, this one said "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" I know it's a beta but LH4 never did that.

No joy, no joy at all.
[Galaxy S III General] jlieu:
Agreed, but official Firmware will be released next week.

test version always have a bug. Very visible bug.
[Galaxy S III General] watsa:
no joy just because you get that message everytime? Its a leak mate. However to fix that bug

Settings --> Applications --> All

then disable "help" app and reboot
[Galaxy S III General] Faryaab:
Well, all the above mentioned bugs are because of pre-release software.

If you have XXLH4 baseband (Check in about phone) then please re-download the firmware from the OP again as I just re-uploaded the firmware last night. Re-uploaded firmware contains XXLH6 modem (baseband) and also doesn't modify the system. It keeps the system state at "normal". :)
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Go to application manager in settings..find the help app..disable it and reboot..it will not show up again..
[Galaxy S III General] jeepdroid:
Tool tip won't stop showing on screen !!!

I have done a full wipe {format system, format cache, format data, wipe data and reset, wipe dalvick cache} but everytime i turn my S3 on i get the help tip that tells me how to open the apps on the lockscreen..... the one that says "Swipe over a shortcut to open apps" i have treied removing the tick that says don't show this again and put the tick back in again and it still won't stop showing up.......... Help, i really have no other problems and it is very smooth and fast. No FC on any apps, did have a FC when updating library of music for the Music square but managed to fix that somehow by playing with the settings.

Thanks in advance.

P.s. BIG Fan of Checkrom has been the best Roms i have used.

Lovin the S3

Should have read the last page before posting, fixed the tutorial by disabling help and rebooting....Oops, sorry. I'm tired and my sons in hospital and i've got to go to work now.

Wifi Tethering

I'm having difficulty with Wifi Tethering. I rooted with CF-Root. I am using android-wifi-tether for this. Was working fine on ICS. On all the leaked JB roms I've tried thus far, Wifi tether appears to be working correctly but no SID is ever available to connect to.

I've tried different channels, turned encryption off/on, changed SID,.....nothing.

Any ideas? Is there some kernel support I'm lacking?
[Galaxy S III General] Ze Tolas:
Im getting issues with wifi too, worked in start but some hours after not worked anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] bernard134:
Haha, same issue!
[Galaxy S III General] tanjiajun_34:
Is this build finally smooth? Cos the previous 2 leaks seems to be lagging when you compared to ics...
[Galaxy S III General] Magnanimous24:
It's very smooth

Apart from a couple of force closes and ChatON not working properly, this is one smooth OS. I'm seeing a noticeable difference in smoothness and overall performance. I'm definitely keeping this until the official firmware comes out.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Agreed. When you force rendering in dev options, things are even better.
[Galaxy S III General] glennss:
Definitely. I''ve had problems at all. Didn't even need to wipe :D

Cause my SGS3 is running perfectly at the moment and i don't want to mess around if it isn't needed. For somebody already running the leak it is 1 minute of "work", for me with a non backuped, stock rom it would take min. one hour to upgrade and two hours for downgrading....

It would be really nice if anyone can try...

Hmm I was having a look in the systemUI.apk, and I noticed something, the value in res/values/drawables.xml for the status bar is #ff1e1e1e, which is the same as 4.1.2 roms, black should be #ff000000 and the status bar is definitely black to me at least.
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Is not black,but definitely more black than gray.. I think the changed colors calibration and then the same grey appears more dark

Have you noticed with that new leak, when charging the phone wirelessly while it is turned off, a different logo from standard one appears ?

It has an lighting in the middle of the battery and two "wireless waves" on left and right of it.

I'll upload a photo picture later of it :)

For me, this is actually a TW ROM that has good battery life, runs very smooth and everything just works.

Makes me very curious how the final version will run.

Attached my second cycle of battery for all curious ones. My break down is about 15-20 min calling, 1.5-2 hours mobile Internet surfing, 2-3 hours reading and around 1 hour mp3 listening. Verdict: it's pretty same as my previous XXemc2_dbt official rom.

But one more thing to add I have concerns over memory management. I noticed this rom keep almost 500mb all the time occupied. Yesterday during playing real racing 3, I experienced lag and eventual game forced to close. n kept doing so till I didn't restated phone. The only noticeable difference was the free ram. I hope purpose this leak to unofficial test final update. I hope whatever - ve's we are discovering, all been noted somewhere else to be taken care of for final official release.

Please share if others experienced something similar.

Yes I use this one but I just flash the zip file. I read again the zip file is only for bootanimation and it also removes boot sound

[Galaxy S III General] Shamus69:
The zip file is not for flashing, you have to extract the contents and copy the files across with root explorer. Read the post carefully!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835143

Don't forget that you need to copy the shutdown animation to /system/media/video/shutdown, and not /system/media/shutdown as it says in the op.

Removing the boot sounds is optional.

It worked for me!

I can't understand for the life of me how people still use Odin to flash, when you have MobileOdin available, where you can choose what do you want to flash and root the new rom before the first boot. That way, you can always keep custom recovery, have the rom rooted and even start with a different CSC, just in one go.

Has anyone used the Siyah kernel with the 4.2 leak? I know on his website it says it's unsupported but just in case. I don't want to lose dual boot with CM10.1

Willing to try any other method to dual boot though.

Lastly does this leak come with the sun flare lock screen effect found in the S4?

Nevermind, according to OP's post it does.

I don't think so. On the last leak none of the 4.1.2 kernels worked so far as I know.
[Galaxy S III General] Airbag888:

Do you know of any other way to get dual boot then? Otherwise I fear I may have to wait it out but I wonder if Gokhan is still around and willing to make a new kernel for 4.2
[Galaxy S III General] rogi19:
Afaik there is no other way to get dual boot
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I think gokhan is quiet busy with family and don't as s3. He owns a s2 from a xda user to end the s2 kernel. I don't think he will support 4.2.2. And on late 1.9.1 he sayd he will not support cm10 anymore because driver incompatibility. And friend why using cm10 when you're missing so much?

Agree! If you come from a non-stock rom, do a full wipe. If you come from a stock rom, don't bother it unless you experience a FC :laugh:

Yeah I've been following his website too. Didn't realise he didn't have the S3 anymore =[

I'm using CM10.1 btw not CM10. And I'm using 10.1 because so far it's been the best battery life and speed I had on my S3 compared to any stock Samsung roms

But I hear battery life is great on this leak.
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
True,absolutely true..

I think ram management is really bad in this Rom,also if I noticed that even if ram go dangerously low,the phone still run smooth..btw yes, there seems a memory leak issue,maybe related to incomplete Mali drivers
