Sorry to make it more confusing, but with Jelly Bean, if you access a custom recovery (when going into recovery mode, then) or a custom kernel (at every boot), the flash counter is set to 1.

Thus, really, forget about your counter unless you are going for the warranty, and THEN Triangle Away and flash everything stock.

Somehow, you can reset your counter at each boot, but I don't remember how. :(

Touchwiz question

I am currently running Hellfire v1.4. The ROM does not have any Samsung Apps or motion and several other features. I was told in the threads for the Hellfire ROM that it was because they are features of Touchwiz.

So, my questions...

1. What exactly is Touchwiz?

2. If Hellfire 1.4 doesn't have Touchwiz, then what does it use in place?

3. Can I use Touchwiz, and if so, how do I with what I currently have?

4. Samsung apps - can I get these back as well and use them?

Thanks for all your help....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Where is this Hellfire ROM I can't find it anywhere....

1. Touchwiz is Samsung's overlay to Android, just like HTC has Sense

2. Link me to Hellfire

3. Yes, flash a Touchwiz ROM from Android Development

4. Only with a Touchwiz ROM

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

I found Hellfire... it's AOSP based... No touchwiz or Samsung apps in an AOSP ROM...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Thank you. So in your opinion, is there much difference between the roms in those threads in terms of stability? Or would it be safe to say in terms of stability, every rom is different no matter if it's built from source or modified?

I'm just trying to think of the pros and cons of each and what issues I can expect if I flash a rom from the original development Thread.

My gut tells me that the less hands in the pot would be better. I would think a rom that is built from source would be more stable and have less bugs than a rom that has been ported and modified and such. Any thoughts?

One more question...

How does a person find out what the overlay for a ROM that is AOSP is called? Like Hellfire for instance.....

Is a Kernel the same as a overlay?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
There are HUGE differences in AOSP based ROMs and Touchjizz ROMs... AOSP is android the way google meant it to be... Touchjizz is Samsung putting their interface and apps on top of it...

AOSP ROMs are stable, but are also on the bleeding edge of development, so expect an issue or two...

Just because it was built from source, doesn't mean it will be more stable... It took a while to get this far, a lot of the basic device functions relied on Touchjizz code, and it had to reverse engineered, etc...

At this point in development, I'd say they are all stable for the most part... First day I had my S3, Touchjizz was gone, and I've never gone back...

Just make an nandroid and try some out... worst that will happen is time went by...

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Anything in Android Development is Touchjizz (some exceptions), and anything in Original Development is built from source and is AOSP based...

AOSP = Android Open Source Project ---------- Pure Google Android as it was written by Google... No overlay...

A Kernel manages the device's hardware... Kernels are built for either Touchjizz or AOSP

Stupid question here: I just rooted and I installed twrp recovery through goo manager. It seems the only way I can access recovery is through goo manager? Is this the case because the way I installed twrp? Coming from HTC, I am unfamiliar with the ins and outs of Odin. Is download mode and Odin the same exact same thing? If I would've flashed through adb, would power/volume/home button boot me into twrp instead of Odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Recovery - Vol Up + Home + Power, Hold all three until it vibrates, let off power only...

Download - Vol Down + Home + Power, Enters into download mode for ODIN
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
"Download mode" and "Odin mode" are synonymous.

Use volume up instead of volume down on boot to boot into recovery instead of download mode. Many ROMs also offer the option to reboot directly into recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSchatz:
There seems to be a lot of confusion over what you're trying to do.

You're trying to undo the modification, correct? Simply do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset) and reflash your current rom. That will put everything back to how it was before you flashed the zips.

Don't forget to back up everything because a full wipe removes all apps, app data, system settings, etc.

CM/Gapps question that may seem unecessary, but...

Didn't receive any replies as separate question, so this may indeed be too stupid for general forum:

I see different Gapps zips for different versions of CM but don't totally understand the version connection. Does CM9 only run ICS Gapps and CM10 only JB Gapps?

And what if I only want certain Gapps and not the rest? I want Playstore, maps, and search but not much else. Do I install zip and then delete unwanted apps or do I install APKs that I have already on other S3 that's not rooted but has latest ICS versions (automatic updates)? Will ICS version APKs not install and run on CM10?

Does source matter? I see Gapp zips for various ROMs.

I do understand inverted Gapps have different colors but are otherwise identical to regular Gapps...yes?

I couldn't find definitive answers in searches.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
ICS ROMs require ICS gapps

JB ROMs require JB gapps

Some ROMs package their own gapps

Some users have themers package inverted gapps and post them

Flash the approproate gapps for your ROM... Maps isn't included.... If there's and app you don't want, use TiBu to uninstall it.

OR

Unzip the gapps, delete those .apk files, and re-zip it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
I thought about unzipping, removing stuff and rezipping, but I seem to remember several threads warning that Linux is fussy about zips...something about signature or how it is zipped. I use WinRAR for zips.

I use the stock windows unzip and add to compressed folder... even though I have 7zip... Point me to the appropriate gapps you have to use and what you want removed, and I'll make it happen...

I'm slightly ahead of the curve here. The rooted S3 was dropped by me and even with case wrapping around front, glass shattered, so it's at Samsung. The promised two-week turnaround became null and void when they emailed they're waiting for a part -- not surprising given the number of threads I see about dropping this model.

New "Premium Suite" for S3

I am relatively new to Android, and new to modding my S3. I do however absolutely love being able to change ROMs and Kernels, and I have tried just about all of them. My question is about the new Premium Suite that is supposed to be available to AT&T S3 users in the next few weeks, there are some pretty cool sounding additions like the multi-window feature, (although it ay be more gimmicky than useful), anyway, would that be something that devolpers would put into their own ROMS once they start updating with Jelly Bean 4.2...or is that something that would be specific to the stock ROM. Just curious because since going away from the stock ROM, I don't really want to go back, but t would be nice to get some of the premium suite features in a AOKP ROM.

CWM: deleting nandroids

So, I'm on ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2.

I made a Nandroid, but noticed I put it on my internal SD card. Whoops, made another, this time selecting "backup to external sdcard." Question 1: could I just have copied and pasted the blobs folder to the external? would that have messed up any sort of location links that CWM uses for backups?

Now, I tried to delete the one on my internal sdcard. I used the plain "delete" option: nope, blobs folder still taking up 3.8GB on my internal sdcard. Then I tried "free unused backup data": boom, NOW the blobs folder on the internal sdcard is gone.

Question 2: What's the difference between "delete" and "free unused backup data"? And why didn't "delete" remove my backup on the internal sdcard?

Thank you all in advance! :D

Unsure about question 1, but probably don't move it, haha.

Question 2: read:

http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/633373-cwm6-backup-formats.html

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28884/how-to-delete-backups-made-using-clockworkmod

Basically, deleting just marks it for deletion and "free unused backup data" makes sure those blobs aren't being used by an incremental backup.

CWM needs a better Nandroid backup viewing system. How do I know how many incremental backups I have? How do I know how old each nandroid incremental/full blob is?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
"Factory reset" wipes /data (except /data/media).

"Wipe cache" wipes /cache.

"Wipe Dalvik" will do just that.

So if you want to take the same steps as you were with CWM, use those steps in that order.

The other options will wipe other things (such as your internal storage, which you probably want to preserve).

Yes, and while I wouldn't worry too much about scratches on the case, I would worry about scratches to the camera lens, which protrudes out. It's a very good idea to get a case for this reason, as well as the fact that it's not very drop hardy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Actually, the back will probably be fine because if you drop the phone, which is heavier at the front, it won't likely land on the back. Broken front glass -- and I'm speaking from pesonal experience -- is not unusual. In fact, I just saw something about S4 having a plastic front screen, likely a result of the number of shattered S3 fronts. The back is already plastic with a faux metal finish.

Rom Questions

Hello everyone, I have just flashed one of my first rom that I am in love with, Its called "[ROM] [AOSP] » LIQUIDSMOOTH » JellyBean [4.1.2] RC 9 [d2att]"

I love everything about it and how fast it is..

1.My question is is there a way I can have an ANTI-SHAKE option for my camera like stock camera?

2.My other question is the phone shows 4G on the top but I think its using LTE but i would actually like to see the LTE sign. I checked the APN settings. Is that the way the ROM is wired to show? Just 4G? or can I flash something on this rom to get my LTE sign to show next to my signal strength?

3.My last question is when i am typing or txting or entering any letters on my keyboard, I cannot seem to remove the touch sounds ! And it is super loud and throws me off, I took off anything in the sound options that had to do with touch tones.. and I cannot seem to remove that sound. It is only active when I am not in vibrate.

Thank you guys so much for your time :)

Phone stuck on "samsung" logo

Hey guys, I tried to root my phone using the Toolkit. It's a rogers s3 running JB.

I chose the wrong file in ODIN and instead of using the rogers version file I used some other file and my phone wouldn't boot back up anymore.

So I tried to unroot it by flashing the custom rogers rom back on it but still my phone won't go any further than the samsung logo on start up.

What can I do at this stage to fix it?

I can press volume up+home+power to get into the menu to wipe, reboot etc. Should I do a complete wipe and try to root the phone again?
