[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Hey guys! I just bought the Galaxy S3 and I'm really loving it so far. However, it is my first Android device, so I'm still pretty new to all this rooting, flashing, ROM, etc. All I know is that rooting is similar to jailbreaking in iPhone (which I understand pretty well and use to do all the time) in that it allows you to do things you wouldn't originally been able to do. Because of that, I decided to root my Galaxy S3 following a Youtube video, which turned out really well and was pretty simple. After that, I watched another video to "flash a rom" :confused: (I think that's how you say it...) and installed CyanogenMod 10. I wanted Jelly Bean over TouchWiz ICS, so I'm liking it so far. Everything runs smoothly and that Project Butter is uh-mazing! However, I think I've noticed some bugs. For example, the camera's exposure settings don't work and every once in a while, my home button doesn't respond when I'm trying to wake it up from lock! I actually had to pull my battery out yesterday because it wouldn't respond and just froze :mad:...Is there anyway that I can fix this? My Dolphin Browser doesn't play flash anymore too, but that's a little fine with me, since the stock browser is able to. And also, I noticed that when I flashed the rom, it pretty much wiped my phone clean, so is there a way to install all my apps and data back the way I wanted previously? I heard about somethings like Titanium Backup, but then I'm also confused about what the hell all that custom backup and recovery and ClockWork Mod and Rom Mananger is about :(...Is it also ok that I installed Apex Launcher after getting CyanogenMod 10? I like how I can still customize it and whatnot.

Sorry for making this post so lengthy! I'm just really excited and curious about how all of this works. It's definitely a lot more complex (but a ton more fun and interesting! :p) than just jailbreaking an iPhone. I've looked around the forum and have read some 101 Basics, but it's still quite a lot to understand all in one day. Anyways, if anyone can please provide some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! :laugh:

I was using SynergyRom v1.7 for a few days but was really laggy on my device. Ive since switch over to CleanRom 2.0 SP1 running CleanKernel 1.0, using CWM 6.0.1.0 recovery, and so far seems to be running alot smoother and faster than Synergy. The only problem ive found with it is the Rom comes with the cpu set up to 1.9 Ghz even when I have it set at 1.5 on SetCPU, and if im putting a heavy load on my device, the back gets pretty warm. There is a post I remember seein something about that issue but cant find it.

If you would like to give this ROM a try, you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1832070

The current version of cm 10 is nightly is not done and there is bugs. the only thing I got was the wake up thing but it never froze for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
So your's doesn't wake when you push the home button too?! Thought it was just me...And do you know when CM10 will be fully stable? Or are there other roms out there that are?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
I'm not using cm 10 anymore but try waking it with the power button, I'm currently using paranoid android and don't have the problem and its based off cm10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyunny:
welcome! i'm still a noob too but customizing and flashing roms is definitely a whole lot of fun. A few things:

before you continue I suggest that you backup your IMEI if you have not done so. There are currently 3 methods to doing this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255

you can do all 3 methods just to make sure you are safe.

TitaniumBackup is an awesome program that can save your apps and their data, your contacts, your sms, all to your SD card so that when you need to wipe your data clean you can easily restore all your apps and such again. There is a free version in the appstore that I think is a must have.

ClockworkMod is a custom recovery for our device and basically what we use to flash new roms and kernels. Also we can create Nandroid backups (basically a snapshot of our system that we can restore at a later time) through CWM.

As for launchers you can feel free to use Apex, Nova, Holo, any of these launchers with the different Roms. They will generally come pre-loaded with one but if you have a preference you can just install that launcher and set it as the new default.

Welcome to Android and xda!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Thanks for replying! Sorry for asking, but what is an IMEI and why should I back it up? And what is the difference between a Nandroid backup and a Titanium backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
Nandroid Backs up your whole system and Titanium just backs up your apps and app data, Not exactly sure what a IMEI is but if you don't have it you wont have any service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyunny:
an IMEI is a code unique to your device that allows your phone to be identified by your provider. Without it you won't have a phone signal nor data. You should back it up as it has been reported that rarely users can lose their IMEI upon flashing a rom.

The devs have been hard at work at learning what triggers this to happen and ways we can get rid of the problem altogether but until then, it's wise to backup the IMEI and save the backups in a safe place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Most have lost their Imei when flashing aosp roms but not all. Some have reported it with touchwiz roms as well.

The are 3different methods to back it up though not 100% .

All are featured in development section.

CleanRom 2.1 just came out today in case anyone is interested...im gonna install it and give it a shot...heard it was much more stable and smoother than v2.0 which im running now. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
How's the new rom? And if I want to install this new rom, do I just do the same thing I did with CM10 (flash, backup, recovery, etc.)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Where is everything backed up to? Like say I want to flash a bunch of roms, and later decide to go back to my stock rom, what do I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
All nandroid backups (cwm) by default are saved to the root of the internal SD card. They typically are small compressed files and really no need to ever move them, though you can have as many as you want, just label and sort them in cwm app.

Titanium defaults to internal SD (again root file that won't be wiped when wiping data), but you can easily change this location to your external to make you feel safer.

Same deal with rom zip files, if you drag and drop through your desktop, you can drop on either sd card or external. If you download through your phone it will be on internal in downloads file, safe from a wipe. You can then move if needs be using a file explorer app. Just remember your location when flashing so you can find your zip in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Ahhh ok. So I'm pretty sure that I did a nandroid backup. So if I want to go back to my old rom, do I just reboot into recovery and click restore or something like that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
That's it. I have several nandroid backups of various rom's and configurations that I can then choose from in recovery. Just remember that if one of your recoveries is original stock (which you should have done), just remember that after flashing that backup, you probably will need to reinstall cwm or similar recovery. You won't need to do that with anything other than stock. I'll do my best to answer any other questions, and please tap the thanks button if this helped!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Oh ok. But if flash the stock rom, will it wipe my phone clean, or will I stay rooted? And do roms take up a lot of storage? I had quite a lot of free space, but after CM10 I lost about 1-2 gb I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Yes, roms do take up alot of storage, so its a good idea to put the zip files on your external sd card to keep your internal as free as possible, especially if you have multiple roms that your playing around with. As far as flashing stock, if you mean restoring your stock rom from a backup in recovery mode, then the answer is yes to staying rooted, and no to wiping it clean. It will be in the same state that your phone was in when you made the backup. However, if you flash on an original stock rom it can unroot you and wipe everything depending on how its flashed in. This method really should only need to be done if a backup was not made of your stock rom, or if you have bricked your device in some manner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lilaznandyx:
Oh okay. So I should be fine then. Which rom do you recommend for this S3? I'm trying to find one that is really stable and is hopefully jelly bean. I'm looking at CleanRom right now, because I like how it incorporates some touchwiz, but I think it's ICS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crowbarman:
It would be great if someone could post a comparison review of CleanROM vs Synergy, etc.

-more stable now

-made the rom lighter and faster

-new ril (better working for me)

-removed bloatware

-new hwa libs :D

-added 2 new kernels

& a few tweaks...:P
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
Great ^^

Is this script working on this aokp rom : 40ad2sdx ?
[Desire Android Development] ulixess:
Is this Rom compiled from AOKP source?

However, I think you are a 'real' dev, not like many other new 'devs' here.

And could you write down some bugs like camcorder to avoid a lot of issue reports :)
[Desire Android Development] Deleted member 4026891:
hey bro...i got the phone just a couple a days back...:) so truthfully saying i havent really worked with the scripts....slowly will get into everything...:D
[Desire Android Development] Deleted member 4026891:
the camcorder seems to be working.....im not completely sure though....just keep me updated about a few bugs as u guys test it and ll work on it as time goes along and i will update the thread as such..:)
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
Oow thx . Iam going 2 try it out tommorow ^^ i will say if it works
[Desire Android Development] Deleted member 4026891:
thanks for the support guys...:) the development for my older phone was just too slow..:P and im still new to modding so i might take some time to get used to everything but ll slowly get the job done! :)
[Desire Android Development] ulixess:
Ok bro ;) The video playback is very low, just 15 frames.

And ... is it compiled from AOKP source?
[Desire Android Development] Deleted member 4026891:
nope it isnt its just a port from the incredible 2....problem is i dont understand compiling from sourcodes yet...so maybe later on..:)
[Desire Android Development] ulixess:
Ahaha I cant compile too!

But such important things like the Rom base should be in the 1st post. ;)

First I thought it is compiled from source, then I thought the Rom base is Sandvolds Rom ... now I know the truth :D

Good luck with your projekt!
[Desire Android Development] Deleted member 4026891:
i like sanvolds i used it for a while but im a personal fan of aokp..:D
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Very good ROM. It feels faster than the other ICS ROMs available.

But it has some issues. Touchscreen issues. Desire uses a mediocre touchpanel and some tweaks are needed to work perfectly.

Both the S3 launcher and the browser have erratic touchscreen.

Also ... easy to implement in the next version. Trackpad 2 Awake. MUST for Desire.

That's all. Besides that it feels good. AOKP is always a good choice!
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Thank you for this rom, it feels nice. Doesn't have any sort of space scripts like app 2 sd or something does it? I tried to install 2msd and move apps and dalvik, i'll see how it goes.

so far so good, i'm a fan of apex so I kinda left apart the new launcher, sorry about that :D i'll let you know if i find anything bad.

thanks again,
[Desire Android Development] s300pmu1:
I'd say, tp2wake \ tp2wake&unlock, to be more precise.

Some people prefer to have only wake, though I never understood them - the chances of accidentally pressing the trackpad are precisely zero, and double-pressing it to wake&unlock is a great usability enhancement.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
I never understood the trackpad2wake popularity, just swipe the god damn screen to unlock? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] cirapfc:
Yeah, it is very smooth and fast... only problem is with memory....

m2sd is not working, s2e also...

It would be nice to implement KSM also...

cheers :)
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Great to see new people here. I can give you some hints on how to build from source later on GTalk, or I might just go ahead and release M6 myself.

@all AOKP people: I gave away my Desire. It's been a great time, especially after most noobs (no offence meant) switched to newer devices, but supporting qsd8k in upstream has really become a huge pain, the summer holidays are now over and I have two great projects ahead. For all those reasons, I don't think I'll be able to support the Desire on JB and beyond. I hope you all understand. You're awesome, all of you. Thank you. And see you all on the 2012 Xperia scene :)
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
40as2sd script is not working ^^
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Just delete 40a2sd script before flashing the zip and try to use INT2EXT+
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
m2sd isn't working either, i select the options (apps & dalvik), reboot and the options are by default again.

I'm giving INT2EXT+ a try. Removing this one first.
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
Hi guys,

:laugh: file removed, looks like int2sd+ working good :good:
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Can I ask what did you change if the original is working? :)

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
well, if it works in this rom, then don't use it anymore and i will remove it. but from what i understand here people can't make it work scripts.

i added in init.d some scripts: 05mountext, 06handleswap, 90userinit.

but if INT2SD works with the rom, i will remove the file. Please confirm, that i can remove.

good day ;)
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
We need more testing with more users :)

Anyone else got INT2EXT+ 100% working?
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
Yes also work for me ^^
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
ok, i will remove it.

cheers

EDIT:

file removed, sorry guys, just tried to help ;)
[Desire Android Development] mpokwsths:
Any progress here?

It looks like the faster ICS ROM for Desire (and of course faster than the Jelly Bean Alphas) and it would be pity to not get the proper attention.
[Desire Android Development] dunstan92:
The rom is one of the best ICS roms out there. It is very stable and smooth.. Keep up the good work!

I do hope that trackpad to wake is included in future. If not, can someone pls guide me on how to do so?
[Desire Android Development] lyg73:
m2sd is working if you set to disable safemode.

I using now with m2sd.
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Okay, I'm gonna give it a second try disabling safe mode, thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
Flashed this and had a few problems.

1) Home button didn't work.

2) Couldn't connect to my mobile network or WiFi. The signal indicator was just greyed out :confused:

3) I flashed a gapps but couldn't sync my contacts. Which gapps is the correct version?
[Desire Android Development] ulixess:
Ad 3. If neither your mobile data nor your WiFi works, how will you sync your contacts without internet?
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
The option wasn't even there to sync contacts. It was just Gmail and calendar. I suspect I flashed the wrong gapps.
[Desire Android Development] gamesz2:
Use the rom now couple of days and it works perfect .

I had 2 reboots with instagram but thats all.
[Desire Android Development] :
help...:)

hey guys m trying to get the touchpad wake feature working...i tried the the key char and libui from sandvolds doesnt seem to be working...any ideas?...:)
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
I've got this rom working now.

How do you disable safe mode to get m2sd working?
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
If you download aroma m2sd, you'll have the option to disable safe mode when flashing on aroma. Its right on the first screen.
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
Where can I download Armoma m2sd from?
[Desire Android Development] Noitora:
It's right here: http://bit.ly/NRpYNq
[Desire Android Development] phonetech101:
Cant send MMS anyone have this problem or have a fix?
[Desire Android Development] aaiko:
Edit:

which gapps do I need to flash?

is there a way to get the lockscreen work?

Sorry to bother you with this questions guys, but this seems to be the smoothest ICS rom for the Desire.
[Desire Android Development] dunstan92:
I took the latest one. 20140429. U have to take the ics gaaps and not jb. Lock screen is working properly for me. I have 5 targets on the lock screen with weather update.

Do hope that more a2sd scripts could be added.

For int2sd, there are 4 partition which can be seen in titanium backup. First one is system, second one is internal which is the sd ext, third one is sd card and another one is the data partition. I keep getting insufficient storage when the data partition fills up while my internal memory partition still has 1.2gb free memory
[Desire Android Development] aaiko:
Thanks buddy, which recovery are you using? Maybe it's a problem with 4ext, cause I been trying to flash the latest gapps for ics but without results
[Desire Android Development] dunstan92:
I'm using 4ext touch recovery. Trying re downloading the gaaps. Are u on stock HBOOT?
[Desire Android Development] phonetech101:
Sorry but can someone confirm if they have mms working?
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
It is.

3g enables itself randomly, when I try to disable on more - mobile networks I get a android.process.core FC and asks for pin and reboot next.
[Desire Android Development] hellbrandt:
Nice ROM, but...

Good work, I really like this ROM, looks great and the TouchWiz launcher is really nice. Performance is good as well.

At least it was until I applied INT2EXT+... then performance nose dived, applications were slow to open and use. If there is a reliable and performant way of accessing more storage space with this ROM then I'd definitely try it again.
[Desire Android Development] hrono20:
I'm sorry, I do not want to hurt anyone, the question to the OP - if he's going to build on this excellent ROM, or will continue to remain silent. :rolleyes:

I also used the INT2EXT +, Rom worked fine without reducing speed (almost). The only problem, a very quiet sound. But everything was settled using Volume +
[Desire Android Development] aaiko:
The rom is just perfect, everything is working now, thanks buddy!
[Desire Android Development] :
hey!

Hey guys....sorry about the delays but i dont have internet at home so i dont come online regularly....but will try and add more features to the rom....thanks for your support....right now testing a ril cause i wasnt happy with the network..!
[Desire Android Development] :
btw guys i feel tiamat kernel is good but i couldnt figure out how to get it running on aokp....i flashed it thru the file on the tiamat site but the rom lags and i have a ton of fc's so if any dev could help me with that?
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Tiamat is one of the most outdated (sorry Tiamat, it's true) kernels for ICS.

Try drewis or something.
[Desire Android Development] :
can u please post a link?..:)
[Desire Android Development] :
i mean to the kernel page?
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
https://github.com/Evervolv/android_kernel_htc_qsd8k/

Don't have a link to the latest ready to flash zip tho.

Don't forget to view the previous posts to see what issues people are having :)

Mine were

- 3g turned on randomly

- Wifi turned on randomly (not often, but still).

- Can't access menu under Settings - More - Mobile Networks (android.core.process FC).

For some reason when left the clock opened (desk clock) the time would freeze and the time on status bar would become incorrect, however system time is ok.

There might be something more but can't remember :)

Are you planning a compiled version?

Thanks, your ICS is one of the best here. No reboots or whatsoever. Keep up mate.

Also, you need to change services.jar ID, isn't recognized correctly on android.mimic.ca (for v6 supercharger, if you're up to it), so flashing a wrong services.jar will end up in bootloop.
