There is two ways.

1. If you are just flashing updates from for ex. AOKP rom. You just want to update from 8/30 to 9/1 you can just do a dirty flash just wipe cache dalvik and partition.

2. If you have to do a full wipe I would make a TitaniumBackup and just restore all your apps once you install that rom. If you need more help feel free to PM me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
It would require decompiling the .apk and theming it, like it's done with the inverts... I haven't seen anything like that... You're gonna have to use an app... Maybe someone can recommend one...

I noticed that some rom threads have the rom and then kernels to download is a rom an add on for a kernel? Like some roms are 700 mb and some are only 180 mb. So my question is do you need the kernel listed on some of the rom pages.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Garrytheogre:
Most roms (all?) come with a kernel that you can also replace with an appropriate kernel of your choosing.... jb tw kernels for jb tw roms and ect .

The big difference of sizes of roms is usually between tw roms (being the largest) and aosp roms (being the smallest) .

Just upgraded finally from my POS captivate to a galaxy s3!! I've been toying with the idea of rooting and I see a lot of talk about tripping flash counters. Why is everyone so concerned when triangle away (i think that's the right name) will reset the counter?

Also, what flashes should a noob be looking out for as far as bricking is concerned? I know with some phones flashing bootloaders is hazardous while others is the modem etc

The triangle away resets then flash counter that doesnt let your phone be serviced by Samsung if the flash counter has a number above zero. The ATT doesn't have boot loader if you didn't know.

This would be better supported in either my rom thread or the Q & A for the rom. You should post there next time. ;)

What have you tried to get into recovery? Try using the 3-Button combo and make sure you release the buttons at the right time to get into recovery. If you dont know when that is, just check out youtube for some videos so you can see.

You can also just use adb to get into recovery also by typing...

adb reboot recovery

Best way to acquire AT&T 4.1.1 LK3 image

Finally received S3 from Samsung with new LCD screen, and as a "bonus" the rooted ICS OS has been replaced with AT&T 4.1.1 LK3. So, I'm going to root and flash, but would like an image of AT&T 4.1.1 LK3 that could be reinstalled via desktop Odin. Is there a way to do this from phone or should I seek a complete AT&T 4.1.1 LK3 tar file? If the latter, is there an image you recommend?

Okay, got the image file...now one question. Is rooting JB identical to ICS using Odin 3.07? That is, root, install SuperUser, then go to CWM recovery (or use ROM Manager) to flash ROM (after wiping data/factory reset)?

[HELP] ParanoidKangDroid Question

Hi guys,

I was going to post in the thread for this ROM but the site rules prevent me from doing so lol, i dont have enough posts - which is a good thing, i generally search forums and find the answer. I read through that thread but was unable to find an answer to these questions.

Questions:

1. This question was posted in the thread but no body looked at it. I am trying to make my status bar smaller, but as I do that, a white line appears between any app that i open and the status bar. But when i change the bar size back to normal the bar disappears, is there a way to resolve this issue?

2. I am coming from Slimbean and Paranoid and I like my icons and everything else to be small, for example everything in the notification bar, app icons, apps themselves. I think this has to do with pixel density? Or perhaps something else? Is there a way to make it similar to slimbean in terms of GUI?

Thanks!
