On another Tip, does anybody know the mystery of the "0" folder on the root drive and how it appears when flashing new roms?

Why does it appear. It seems to screw up my filesystem structure. I dont see the point of this or why it happens

Wipe cache and dalvic, then factory reset. Don't wipe system though.

What was best before sliced bread?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Need lots more information. Coming from rooted stock? CWM or TWRP recovery? What ROM and version, what Gapps and, if applicable, what kernel and version.

Wiping cache and dalvik might help, but maybe not. If not, consider Odin back to stock (with or without root) and then start over again.

Another random maybe stupid question...

How can you tell if you are on 4g/LTE service on 4.2.2 ROMS? or is their no way of telling.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_funktionz:
I know about checking their :p

Are you on a 4.2.2 ROM? All the ones I tried just show either H+ or 3g. And on ROMS that give you the ability to enable/disable LTE it still shows both of those off and on. While on 4.1.1 ROMS it displays 4g just fine...Could it be because of my theme?

What ROM are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
I am using slimbean 4.2.2 and its shows 4g icon when I have 4g and 3g h+ when I don't it could have been past themes or ROMs mite have alter the logo I know i have true 4 g cuz the guy at the attack store says my town has full coverage cept at the beach

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_funktionz:
Hmmmnnn....This is strange. I am in an area that has 4G at least I believe it to be. I always showed 4g signal on stock ROM. Since I rooted and have been dabbling with 4.2 + Roms, I only seem to see 3G or H+ signal show up. I may try Slim bean again as I was just on it a few days ago but my nandroid got screwed up. Think I lost my blobs folder to it or something.

Did you by chance install a 4G icon pack at some point in time? I came across a link on XDA speaking of that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
If u were using stock build it will show incorrect data sybols instead of true connection. Most two ROMs and all aosp show ur real connection and no I only use theme chooser themes that i used on my s2 and slimbean is the only ROM I installed within mins of buying and rooting phone

How do I decompile/recompile .apk's ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_funktionz:
I think you must of been right about stock showing incorrect symbols. I looked on the coverage map and it says that they have 4G (HSPA +) which makes sense, stock rom called it 4g and 4.2 roms for me are showing H+ which is true signal as you said.

Thanks for helping to clarify that

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
You're going to have to download Cm10 and flash it in recovery just like you would any other rom. I'd recommend making a backup and also wiping data in addition to cache/dalvik. Cm10 is a 4.1 rom where cm10.1 is 4.2. Full wipe

I have rooted and installed cwm via an odin flashable file (which gives me an older version of cwm) I was able to enjoy other roms for awhile, but now I would like to check out CM10. I get an error 7 message which I'm finding out is due to my older version of CWM. I can find all sorts of guides on how to install a newer CWM, but I can't find a guide on how to just update my current CWM. Do I treat it as a new install of cwm and it will safely overwrite my cwm or what? Or any links or guides on how to just update CWM? (Rom manager is not as option, as my device never appears)

All that matters is that SIM be from another GSM carrier, which in the U.S. includes T-Mobile but not Verizon or Sprint. You can buy SIM from any T-Mobile store, but usually for less on T-Mobile web site. Turn off phone, replace AT&T SIM with one from T-Mobile, turn phone back on and enter unlock code into box that shows up as soon as phone starts. Done.

Used S3 Toolkit: Phone is fried

Well i need some help, please. After going through all the steps with the S3 Toolkit, my phone won't turn on. All i get, if i hold down the power button or the home button, is Samsung popping on for one time. That it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
I've never used the S3 toolkit, but I have the same dev's Nexus 7 toolkit and it works well. What, precisely, did you do with it? Did you root stock ROM? Do you have recovery? If you press volume up, power and home for 10 to 20 seconds, you should get recovery. Usually, if you just get just Samsung, clearing cache will fix things, but the depends on what you did with the toolkit.

There are easier ways to root S3, but we'll leave that for later...or never if this gets you up and running.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reluttr:
I have a quick question about applications on a non-rooted S3

I have been trying to find the best application like "Find My iPhone" for android. So far I have tried a few including "where's my droid", "SeekDroid", and "Cerberus", in that order. Basically "where's my droid" didn't work out because the response time for my galaxy s3 was excruciatingly slow and the app threw adverts in my face whenever I launched the commander on the phone. Plus quite a few of the features did not work with the S3 for w/e reason.

So I uninstalled it from the play store and installed "SeekDroid", which more or less is a alright app but it restricted the free account to just one device and the cheapest plan to have more was like 4-6$ a month, plus to get any more features than the standard "wheres my phone" you have to buy the pro version for another 4 bucks. Anyways I uninstalled it via the play store and put it on the back-burner until I saw if there was something better for less.

Then I came upon Cerberus and installed the trial, its probably the best one I have tried yet. Sure the web interface is not as pretty as SeekDroids, but it does make all features available for life with a 1 time payment of about 5-6$ and the tracking feature is blazing fast, plus you can link up to 5 devices to it. So I decided to make this my Find my iPhone replacement. :D

Anyways now to my actual question... these apps get ALOT of access to your device. What I am wondering is, when I uninstall a application from the play store does it completely delete the app and settings it leaves behind and revert any settings it changed while installed? Or is it handled more like on a traditional OS and only the core program is removed leaving behind a application "residue"?

For the most part I am worried about 3 things... 1. being that the previous tracker apps residue might affect the performance of Cerberus, 2. that the apps could leave a gateway into my device if my accounts from the previous 2 trackers is compromised, and 3. that in the long run that the settings these apps tweaked will affect the overall experience of the S3.

Also I am curious, has anyone else stumbled upon a tracker app thats better than Cerberus, or did I stumble upon the best one at its price?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yeah, Cerberus and Lookout are two of the best if you want to pay for the service. I demo'd the former two, but decided to use the free Androidlost app instead (and even though their website design is atrocious, it's functional.)

What does the notification button do?

It's located when you pull down the notifications.

It's in between power savings and Bluetooth on the i747m.

My friends said it turns off all notifications sound but it doesn't work.

Anyone know how to mute all notifications without muting voice call ringers?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
For that you will need something else. Not even sure if it's possible but I would start looking at "tasker" to create the complex task, and "nfc task launher" to create the nfc tag and run the Tasker script. (though nfc task Launcher might be able to do it alone since it can run events on applications)

As you have noticed nfc is very basic right now I.e vcards, enable and disable simple things, volume, vibrate, brightness etc etc but with tools like Tasker er might be able to do more...

Good luck.

I have a question for the paranoidandroid cm10 hybrid ROM users. How different is the quality for the camera from stock touchwiz to the paranoid cm10 hybrid camera? Any noticeable difference and how about video. The camera is the only reason i havent left stock along with the video trim option and of course some of the bells and whistles.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
CM / PA camera as-of a few nights ago does just about everything you could want: photos, video, photos while taking video, panaramas, timer photos, gimmicky filters, burst mode. What it's "missing" -- from what I can remember of TouchWiz a few months ago -- is: "best photo" from the 8 burst, smile shot, video stabilization (by cropping it - meh), the friend share/tag thing that nobody uses, and a couple others.

The only feature I'd really like to see come to CM is "best photo", which throws out all of the worst photos from a burst keeping the least blurry. Wouldn't be too hard to implement using the same contrast sum sort algorithm that consumer cams with slow cpus use. (I know... i know... I should step up and patch it myself...)

How do I restore all my home screen icons and stuff after I flash a new or updated ROM? I hate having to manually set them back up. I was going to use CWM to restore my settings, but someone recommended not to do that.

Also, in Titanium theres an option to backup system settings. If i back these up and restore them after flashing a new ROM will my homescreen icons all come back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
With titanium backup if you restore your apps and data, all of your apps and their preferences come back but not location..

Example if u had widgets and two rows of apps and some folders with apps they won't be organized like before... They will just be under applications like you just installed it for the first time.

You will need to organize it yourself.

After a mini panic, i removed my ext sd card, but all is good with that. I was thinking of plugging the phone back in, and going back to the toolkit for answers. I don't know how to clear the cache, but at this point, i sure can use all the help that i can get. Thank you, very much, for you help.:confused:

---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I picked the "allinone"(#3) option in the toolkit, and that was supposed to do everything. As far as recovery goes, i held the three buttons for over a minute, and nothing. Then i accidently released the power button and the samsung logo came up, but just for a second, then nothing. If i can't get into recovery, then i guess that i can't clear the cache. What about plugging in, and re-running the toolkit?
