I was wondering about this. I've been using lean kernel and trying others but I seem to have different amounts of ram available for each. Is this related to the number of gov's available? Also the color of my screen seems different with different kernels. Why is that and can you change that manually? Thanks guys.

It appears that updates to some roms require updating the bootloader.. Will this erase anything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
Shouldn't its just the boot loader u can always check first with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.rootchecker

Its mainly for ppl who got their phone with stock ICS hence the boot loader update most devs r posting a boot loader link to flash but just backup ur files like normal flash boot loader flash ROM and restore like u normally would after a full wipe and boom profit

Hey guys, what is the best Stock based rom? I am tired of some bugs in CM10.1 and AOKP. I need audio EQ and Bluetooth to function perfectly. Also better batter life would be nice too. I Would prefer a stock based rom with stock android interface, but I'm not sure that exists after looking around. I heard there was a new Sammy 4.2.2 update, but I can't find that either. Thanks for the advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
The 4.2.2 isn't public for this device and " the best stock ROM" is an opinoin try a few out each person. Likes different things
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
That also depends on what you mean by "stock." True stock for the SGS3 has TouchWiz (you can get those here). If you don't like TouchWiz, there's CM10 & MIUI (see here for more ROMs).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloadmire:
Ok so best for me would mean stock based, but Samsung crap removed.

I am really appreciative of the help available here. Thanks

as for the link. It is exactly what I was looking for. Im digging into it . again thanks.

one question; in the event that I wanted to go back to my current modem, the one that came with CM10.0, how would I accomplish that. Would it mean backing up the entire system before I flash one of these modems and then, if I want to return to the stock modem, re flashing the back up?

Nope u just need custom recovery install first I recommend downloading goo manager from the play store and click menu Install custom recovery and it will do it for u then just flash what ever ROM u want and wipe first

My Gmail won't sync and the native Email app in there is quite slow. I want push email and want to get it as soon as I receive it in my inbox.

Status 7 CM10.1

I have been running CM10.1 for awhile now. I updated to the latest CWM Recovery about a week ago and the nightly updates refused to install. Each aborted with a Status 7. I did a factory reset and still got the Status 7 error. I tried a fix posted on Youtube but this reverted the Recovery to version 5.3.

Now, all I can do is reboot into recovery 5.3. The phone will not boot into CM10.1 and all updates result in the Status 7 error.

How can I get back to the latest CMW Recovery? I have the latest Odin and the Adroid SDK loaded on my PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Current CWM is 6.0.3.1 for I747 (AT&T), so you are way behind. Current ROM Manager is 5.5.2.3, in case that was what you are referring to. In any case, a Status 7 error is not a problem with the recovery, it's with the downloaded zip. Might be incorrect version?

Audio controls on lock screen

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.

I have zero experience with vanilla root box but with that being said, I'd use a lock screen replacement app like Widget Locker if there are no lock screen settings baked into the ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KadenP:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. Someone on a different forum suggested I try Go Locker but it is a complete non-starter for me. I can't find any way to set what shortcuts are available on the lock screen other than changing themes, which are 98% paid (even though they say they're free) and there is absolutely ZERO security. Simply swipe the notification area down and anyone can see your notifications, then if they click one of those, or if they go to the settings and long press any of those they can bypass the PIN completely and have full access to the phone. Completely unacceptable. :mad:

FYI...Go locker is strictly for GoLauncher and will not work with any other launcher
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KadenP:
I have 'system settings > sound > screen lock sound' and that controls whether it plays the locking sound on lock and unlock. It doesn't affect the widget at all. Just tried it again to be sure. There's also nothing in 'system settings > rom control > lockscreen'. I can't see anything that could be it in any of the menus. But I appreciate the attempt. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Just out of curiosity before you go changing your lock screen around, what music app are you using and is there a setting in there which disables lockscreen controls
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KadenP:
There was a setting to Go Locker that asked what launcher I wanted to launch, and it did honor the setting. It just had zero security. If I have to run a different launcher just to get a screen locker to perform its designed task then I don't want to run it anyway.

P.S. How many posts do I need before I'm no longer subject to this 5 minute between posts rule? :P

I've run CM 9.x and 10 on my GS3 and didn't have any of those issues... Did you do a full wipe of everything before the flash and also wipe the davlik cache after the flash but before the initial reboot? Are you using a different kernel than what was originally packaged with it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rawdolphin:
this will be my first 'clean' rom flash, so im a bit weary here. ive only ever done 1 dirty flash which has worked flawlessly. i absolutely refuse to push my luck this time though.

i am looking to do a full 'factory wipe/reset' as well as clearing caches in CWM to install a new rom. i DO NOT have an external sd card and i refuse to buy one.

if i complete this CWM factory wipe/reset/clearing caches, will it erase the data on my internal sd card? the only reason im asking is because if im doing a wipe...wouldnt the internal sd card get wiped with it, including the rom zip i just put on the internal to flash?

i have seen conflicting posts saying CWM will wipe aboslutely everything, and others say it wont. if CWM wipes the rom i put on the internal sd card, then it looks like my flashing endeavors stop here!

So, I posted this on the android OS general, but I thought I'd post here instead because it may be in relation to videos taken by S3 stock Rom....

I'm on a Telus Samsung Galaxy S3 (at&t) SGH-I747). My problem is that Every time I try a rom, I've noticed that the videos I've taken no longer have a thumbnail (pictures do have thumbs). New videos taken with that rom will be shown fine.

I've been googling around, and found suggestions to delete cache in the Gallery and media storage apps, followed by a reboot. I've even renamed one of the files, followed by the cache clear and reboot, to no avail. Whenever I do this, I can see the gallery is actually being rebuilt because at first no media are shown, then they appear and I can see thumbnails refreshing for the pictures.. Just not the videos taken by the stock roms (the vids taken by non-stock are getting the thumbs)....

Is it possible that the videos taken by the Samsung stock Android rom are different in some way? I would REALLY like to be able to see those thumbnails. Any answer would be appreciated.

Are the videos being saved in the same format?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Benyben6:
They are .mp4 files, but i'm wondering if the way they are encoded can be different enough that other roms can't make a thumbnail from them. Thanks for the response btw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
Try something: Move 2 videos from your phone to computer (delete them from the phone), one old video & 1 new video. Possibly restart, then copy them back, and maybe restart again (don't know if the restarts are necessary). See if it makes a thumbnail for 0, 1, or both of them.

I just flashed LiquidSmooth v2.5 with the following steps:

CWM backup

Move rom to root

Wipe system, cache, davik

Install Rom, Google apps

Boot

However, now when I look at the internal storage of my phone through settings, there is 12.05GB available, but only 1.07GB free space. I think there is a lot of stuff (titanium backup, rom .zip files, etc.) taking up room that I can't see. How do I get to those files to delete them and make more room?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
assuming you have backed up everything on your device and have your rom/gapps/nandroid, etc on a micro sd card, use the following common procedures for wiping:

In CWM:

2. Select Wipe data/factory reset

3. Select Wipe Cache

4. Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Select Mounts and Storage and format /system

6. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1 or from one 4.2 rom to a different 4.2 rom, you must also format /data. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.

In TWRP:

2. Select Wipe

3. Select Factory Reset and wipe

4. Select System and wipe

5. If you are transitioning from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2 to 4.1 or from one 4.2 rom to a different 4.2 rom, you must also select Data and wipe. You will lose all personal data so back it up first.

then flash your rom and gapps and reboot. let the phone sit untouched for a couple minutes and reboot. enjoy

When installing a new Rom I am doing the factory wipe, cache wipe and Dalvik wipe in CMW as most Roms seem to want you to do? Is it because I am wiping the cache? I can see the batched backup apps but they won't restore. When I chose verify back ups they are all corrupt? What am I doing wrong here.

Can you successfully restore the apps individually (not batch)? Also, the 1st time you run Titanium Backup, it will probably tell you that your ID has changed, & do you want to restore your old ID (Pro only). I think you have to say yes, for it to work. Not sure about that part, though, as I always say yes.
