Drew, I made the boot animation and it seems to be working. however, the ATT boot tries to overlap, i will send you a pm with the DL link
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
I personally think CWM is causing the issues when setting up the ROMs for everyone. CWM in the past was known to miss things here and there during setup or wiping cache and dalvik cache.

I have used Mobile Odin quite a few times now and rarely do I experience any of the issues anyone else has especially the ones that use CWM to install the ROMS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrakifa:
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but howcome swype will not work and howcome there's no dictionary for predictive texting? Awesome rom otherwise and thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
This would be because the dalvik cache & cache partitions still had a copy of the old boot animation on it. Try wiping these again and you should be good. If using CWM to wipe these partitions then wipe them at least twice before rebooting the phone again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitwiser:
my swype works just fine...although, not sure why it gets removed when you run the "remove bloatware" flash...I don't consider it bloatware ;) But I just restored it from my Titanium backup after with my dictionary and all works great (worked before removing bloatware as well).

Updates

I love you guys. You keep pushing me to keep going on to make things perfect so yes I'm back at it again working on Serenity, JellyBean747 and I'm pulling my retired rom Hannah back from the dead and I'm going to try and make them the best possible roms. You guys have complained about the smallest things. I love that but at the same time it's annoying. For me whats working perfectly may not be working for you. And this is a universal issue everybody has different issues and not one phone acts the same. So how can we possible know what the true bugs are compared to an individuals bug? I am going to start setting up a new system for reporting these bugs that we can all use that will help me out of what kind of bugs are going on. It's a simple system that will be a great help to us all and will help with future builds. Expect some new releases soon!

I am currently waiting on a file for JellyBean747 Milestone 6, in the mean time I am working on Hannah 4 (JB and ICS combo) and continuing to work on Serenity 1.2

I love this ROM - made a dumb mistake and dirty flashed it originally - and had a bunch of issues - so I did a full clean wipe- wipe data/system/cache and Delivk and no problems since -

smooth - sweet - very nice.

Something odd though - don't know if this ROM related or not - got a text from ATT today saying my phone was now inabled to dial and roam internationally -

I didint' do anything on purpose to set this up - and when I checked in wireless settings/More settings/mobile networks - there wasn't anything there that offered International -

Is this something ATT is doing to for everybody? Is there somehting in the ROM that did this?

Curious ???

Long time subscriber, first time poster :P

Thanks for all your effort Drew!

I've been subscribed to this thread for a while now and didn't try out your customized ROM until I saw that it was based off of an AT&T JB build.

Questions:

Where/what is the original bootanimation for the base firmware/ROM?

The mash-up of the custom bootanimation.zip included and the AT&T bootsound detracts from the awesomeness of this build. (is that what came in the Note II?)

Is it possible for you to share (or point us to a source for) the stock bootanimation for the base or GS3 stock firmware?

Thanks for all your contributions to the community!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skrambled:
Yeah that is strange. Did you flash v1 last night before the time sync fix was put into v1.1? Last night I was on Greenwich Mean Time due to the time sync issue on v1. Maybe AT&T thinks you were in England last night. :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
This is probably because this ROM has some international part inside of it. Because of this ROM I was able to get the 50GB Free Space from DROPBOX which you couldn't do on the US version of ATT Stock SGS3 ROM I have to say thanks very much to Drew for the Free 50GB of Cloud Storage that ATT wanted to deny me.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
same happens for me but I know i would rarely use this unless they integrated it into the Youtube App.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
I will post the original AT&T boot animation up in the UpdateMe when I get a chance for those who want it. It's the same animation as the normal AT&T bootanimation so it's nothing special. I'll put it in CMW form so you can reboot into recovery and just run the zip to install it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stkman32:
DG or anyone that can...is there any possible way to make A splash screen with the word Serenity in it for the serenity rom. This may sound corny but I really like this rom and it's my daughters name as well so it would be something cool to show her...just a thought. AWESOME ROM!!!

Or a boot animation with Serenity
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
As stated before numerous time the Samsung Video Player popup does not work. But the Samsung Video Player itself does work.

I supplied Super Video, Floating & Popup as a temporary fix for this issue and you can use this as the popup window. However in the rom it was broken, so just uninstall it and reinstall from the market.

The same thing with popup browser. PopupWeb was not properly working so i included Floating Browser Flux! in the rom and it did not work in the rom so just uninstall it and reinstall from the play store and it will work fine.

This will be the last time I repeat this as it's been answered several times in this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mathewrice:
That would be great,

Thank you,

I got the 50GB of Dropbox space too - Very Cool- but does having this International Roaming tihng cost money for the service? (I know it might if I use it) but does it cost just to have it turned on? Do you think I need to call ATT?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewgaren:
That is very cool if I find anything I will put it in the UpdateMe application.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
I'm actually working one at the moment. I just sent Drew a message with a preview for the watermark and now I am going in and putting a name of the rom into each one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
there is a stock theme in UpdateMe - just download and flash and you will have the best of both worlds - if you are on TWRP Recovery - it may not flash properly - in which case all you have to do is switch to CWM and it will.

Good luck

Been keeping track of the thread for a while and it's not been mentioned. Also, I can't search from phone.

One thing to look at, drew. I think either the media server or the Samsung music player app is weird. Probably the media server, it something else I don't know about. But...

Whenever I am playing music, from the music player, not streaming it, if I get a text message or, well, any notification with sound actually, the music pauses, but in attempting to resume after the ring tone of that notification, the phone gives me force close vibrations and the music doesn't resume. When I hit the button on my zaggbuds here, it does resume playback, but it starts over on that track.

This has been present since milestone 3, that I know of, which is when I jumped into your bandwagon(from which I have not strayed since- especially now with serenity 1.1).

Excellent work so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
No it shouldn't unless you go and use your phone internationally but to make sure go to and view your bill on the web right now to see if any weird charges popped up or any trial services got activated if not then your good.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
Well, the Milestone and Serenity ROM's are completely different bases, so I'm assuming you're running the Milestone ROM and having this problem? I just tested the scenario with Serenity 1.1 and no issue...

In fact the Serenity ROM has been running flawless since last night; I keep "waiting" for something to happen, but nothing. I'd suggest giving it a try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
Have you added anything from the UpdateMe app yet, make tweaks to the build.prop. Is NFC enable or disabled. If disable try enabling it and see if that helps the issue. The reason I say this is because the Bluetooth in JellyBean uses some type of NFC transport that allows for the automatic pairing as long as the device has a default pin of either 0000 or 1234. But you can change some Bluetooth setting with NFC Tags.

I'm running serenity 1.1 and it just happened is the thing. That's what spurred me to post. But... It may be the fact that I'm running SoundAlive too, in custom mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
so try disabling soundalive and retest see if the problem still occurs. you may want to reboot after disabling the soundalive and try because you really have no idea what type of changes it makes to the audio.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Realorasz:
I can't disable it. There are only different modes it could be in. But, the confusing part about it being the equalizer is, it has done that to me on Google play music now too. With the EQ off.

I will take a look at the audio over Bluetooth and possibly the bluetooth. I did not change the Bluetooth.apk files with the S III files because they are the same, however I did change all the support libs and etc files for them so there should be no effect. I will take a look at it though. There is nothing reported in the logcat that shows an error with bluetooth however.

Love the rom, But still have an APN issue

Hi there, I have an issue with the APN setting

I installed the rom with no problems (Love the rom). when installing the rom, I just did a wipe data, didn't clear cache (since the guide didn't tell me to do so)

Now when I try to set the APN of my carrier (chatr Wireless in canada) it just doesn't work.

I believe it's because the MNC needs to be set to 370 and my phone is stuck on 720. When I try to change the MNC and save, The apn setting disappears (like many previous posts I saw).

is there a way to fix it?

I went into the /etc/apn xml file and the provider is in that list... but it still doesn't work. and also when I try to reset default apn... it doesn't show me any, all blank list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

messaging error

The man problem I am having on serenity 1.1 is that my messaging app is closing right after opening it saying "Unfortunately, OMACP has stopped."

Anyone know a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linuxboxsolution:
AOKP does not include any of the Gapps and must be added in after the compilation happens. I'm not sure about CWM

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Try going to Settings--> Application Manager--> All--> Messaging--> Force Stop, then Clear Cache & Clear Data. Then open the messaging app again and see if the problem is still there

mv /sdcard/app.apk /system/app/app.apk <enter>

chmod 0644 /system/app/app.apk <enter>

Now reboot and you should be up and running.

Make sure you replace app.apk with the actual name of the apk file you are using.

Read this here to setup ADB on Windows 7. It should be fairly similar on Windows XP and Windows Vista as far as setup goes to make adb work on windows. If you think you have already done these steps then open up a command line in windows and type in adb. If you a bunch of stuff runs on the screen your good to go and follow the directions of lordmorphous if you get something like command not found then follow the steps at the link below.

I come to these threads to see what people say about the ROM but its page after page of bug reports not much about the ROM itself. I want to know what people think of the ROM and I want to hear there opinion of the ROM.

Just out of curiousity, I am DL'ing Serenity 1.1 and will install it tomorrow to test it out.. my curiousity is for those that have been using Drews for a while, is Serenity the way to go now, or is Milestone 5? I was reading both info's from OP, but not 100% positively sure the differences (other than the base of course, but even then, still a lil "wet behind the ears" when comes to diffrences in bases and such).. so would appreciate any input on the why this over that type.. i know its opinion based , but after reading the OP, seems the Seren is the newest "latest and greatest" from drew and just kinda wanna confirm :)

thanks for the input.. sleepy time :D
