UpdateME Toolbox

UpdateME Has been updated. There is one specific issue with UpdateME. You cannot reboot from the app and install a clockwork zip. Even though you are given the option if you try it will fail each time. You must download the file and reboot then manually reboot and install yourself. The file is on your enteral sdcard under update me by default. You can change your default download folder to whatever you want under settings.

If your having theme trouble you have to install them manually as well.

Using the Bloat Remover, I have placed all the apks up as well. If you download an Bloat APK then just place it in your system/app folder and set the permissions as rw-r-r.

Any other apk download and install.

Google Wallet fix - this will change your build prop, proceed with cause. Make a backup.

More things to come.

Help !!! Cannot install M5 !!!

I cannot install M5 even with clearing up data, cache and delvik.

It keeps booting into recovery after Samsung Logo.

I had latest 82 MB update from AT&T installed a few days back. Could it be the problem? I tried different modems: H1, H9 and no luck.

Install went without errors, but after reboot, I got back to recovery and again and again.

Should I flash different Kernel? If yes, could you give me a link?

I was able to install M3, but not M5.

Thank you.

Try mounting the system partition in recovery first. The creator of the zips may not have put the mount command in the installer script.

Has anyone tried to OC Pistol 5.0 yet? ? If yes what Kernel works well? ? Tnx....

:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Good question and curious why KT'S kernel is not recommended in the Update Me app? I'm assuming it caused issues just wondering as to what issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frewys:
Did he actually have a tw jb kernel? I thought it was just AOSP or cm?

Probably because people tend to complain about battery or stability issues in the rom thread when it is a kernel issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Yeah he does..... It's in the Updater. I'm going to give KT'S kernel a run anyway after I get everything set up.

As far as I know the only other two kernel options are faux's and Imo's lean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Amon37:

Nevermind on my previous request guys. I have the new Swype installed, but where can I find the .apk through Root Explorer? I would like to copy.

V5- AWESOME ROM - but trouble flashing themes in TWRP

You have done an incredible job on this ROM Drew thanks!

I discovered something that helped me install themes - for some reason, when I tried theming icons or even the Kalagas theme or whatever on this or any Jellybean ROM) it never worked - I tried and tried and no matter what I did, it wouldnt be themed after I flashed - even when the flash said "Succeussful" (I was using TWRP recovery) I tried mounting system - no dice, themes still would not work when I tried to flash them in TWRP.

So today - I installed the latest touch screen version of CWM and Vilola' - the theme was there after I flashed.

I am not sure why CWM works and TWRP doesn't - I plan to ask the TWRP thread the same question - but for anyone using TWRP if you have tried to flash themes on this rom and it didn't work for you - try getting the latest CWM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766253 - I plan to go back to TWRP because all my backups are in TWRP - and I hope there isn't an issue with changing recovery versions like this - but for now, it seems to be a reasonable option for anyone using TWRP who can't seem to get Themes to work on this ROM -

Good Luck - hope this helps.

Any other ROM I can install but not M5

I install latest H9 rooted and could install on top of this any ROM: Cyanogen, M3 or any other out there, but not M5. In the matter of fact I could switch between ROMs using Rom Manager by just restoring one ROM or another, whatever I feel like using at any day. But M5 just does not work at all.

And yes when I installed latest update from AT&T I could not root it, but I found rooted kernel and ROM and now I am back in business of switching ROMs. M5 probably just does not like latest Kernel.

I like H9 Kernel and Modem because I am getting 35/15 Mb/s on LTE even in Cyanogen and betting battery last as long as 2 days.

Thia ROM has been working pretty good for me... Only 2 problems I've found till now.

1) If I press and hold on one if the home screens and select 'Select wallpaper for' Mobile option and select Gallery, the gallery app crashes.

2) Weirdly the 'Google Ears' widget crashes too each time I try to tag a music.

Can someone confirm? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MarsVoltron:
My Google ears crashes when sending tag. My gallery has been really finicky also. Not showing pictures in some apps for upload only the ones sideloaded In the online syncing service I forgot the name of. But if you select one of these even it doesn't work.

Gallery doesn't show pictures at all at times. I've wiped cache in gallery, media, cwm etc , fixed permissions correctly still not working.

Also an issue with calls where I try to return a call, and it formats the number some weird way and at&t thinks I'm trying to dial out internationally.

Screen does some weird glitchy thing after disabling the gpu options in dev options as stated in op's post so I turned them back on.

Screen back light also gets stuck in the lock screen dim setting after unlocking sometimes. Is there a way to get to this dim level manually? Would be great for night time use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shadyraver:
Ok so that clears it up for me...if you read my previous post you would see that I was having the same problem..I was flashing themes in TWRP and it wasn't taking...so I thought maybe it was TWRP...But like you said I to have all my backups using TWRP so Im not gonna switch just to flash themes...I hope we can find out why its not working in TWRP...If you here anything let me know

Hey not sure if it has been mentioned but I tried your ROM yesterday which is great but one of your apps installed was a paid app. Just thought I let you know. CPU sleeper I think it was called.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:
Everyone is saying how smooth this is..for me, it isn't. The gallery is very laggy. Apps are slow to open. What am i doing different than you guys? I did a full wipe, clean install.

Try a clean install. Wipe twice if needed. Also if all else fails try redownloading the rom because something may have corrupted during the prior download.

Bluetooth audio issues?

Has anyone noticed issues using bluetooth audio? It seems to work in my car right after I first pair the phone (playing a song in Spotify), but then whenever I go to the next track there's no sound. I can't get the sound back until I unpair/re-pair the phone (and/or disable/re-enable bluetooth I believe, but I'm not 100% sure on this one), but then the same problem applies, as soon as I skip to the next track there's no more sound.

Unfortunately this is something I rely on so I'm back to stock/rooted ICS for now, everything else about the ROM seems great though.

NOT working:

AnastasiA_V9_for_jellybean_XXDLIB (systemui crashes at start up)

Luckily it made a back up so I was able to do a restore so that was a plus.

Any chance we can get a list of what exactly the Bloat Remover removes? If it's up somewhere i've missed it so in that case a link would be nice :)

Is there a way to avoid this happening? Maybe this is where I somehow almost hit my 6GB last month on the first week -_-

I mean.. other than that and the major battery eating android system haha.. the rom is amazing.. love how the icons are close to each other. 26 mins and lost 5% with android system taking 42% and screen only 38%
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luckychef28:
Just checked my data usage online and I'm already over a gig. For me, that's about 5x more than normal in the first week of a cycle. Sad to say, but I have to dump this ROM immediately if it's going to cost me money. It's "google partner setup" eating the most data.

It would seem to me that the Android system bug is doing a hell of a lot more than just eating battery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bud951:
Very nice work on this rom. I have only had it installed since last night and the only real issue is the android system bug eating a ton of battery. Once it finally got into sleep mode it was ok only dropping 6% in 7 hours but its back to chewing battery when in use. Thanks for the tip on CWM vs TWRP. I love TWRP but I couldnt get any themes to flash on anything but ICS. Now I am rocking Kalagas which is my fav! Has anyone tried the TweakWiz mod that centers the app drawer? I guess Ill try it and report back. Do any of the TW mods in "update me" offer this? Gallery is slow but ive flashed this gallery before and it was slow and laggy then. I just use the Expria Album. I gotta shoot a donation DG's way for the work on this. Thanks to the team that put this one together!

Problems Flashing Themes on JB (using TWRP)

I posted a question on the TWRP thread about issues flashing themes on JB - and got a response from Dees_Tony who offered a Fix that he said works for most people having this problem he said:

and I am quoting: Most of the time if a vrtheme doesn't install it's because of the dynamically linked zipalign binary that's being used. If you simply replace the dynamically linked zipalign binary with the static binary linked below, it will work just fine.

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/utilities/zipalign

I have downloaded it - I am going back to my backup sans theme and will flash and try it to see how it works - stay tuned...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Ya'll are losing me here. Are u guys blaming the ROM for going over your data limit?

Also it's been about 3 pages of complaints and can I have this and can I have that. This doesn't work that doesn't work. If I were Drew and seen these last few pages, I would be a little pissed and wonder why I'm putting all my time in for free.

Maybe ease back a bit. Do all the research u can do before reporting your issue. This ROM is a leak and there WILL be issues. Please remember that and if u want a completely issue free ROM go back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jammol:
Hey guys, you do realize you can restrict what apps use data right? Stop complaining about it and do some searching man. This rom is too awesome to ditch. Just go to the Data Usage section under settings and disable whatever the hell is sucking your data, from using it. It will force those apps/services to only using Wifi.

Also, if anyone else doesn't like the 4x5 layout that the launcher has, simply extract whatever widgets that are being cut off, and the launcher from 4.5. It isn't modyfied.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] craigbailey1986:
Just checked my data and in one day i went from 200mb to 1276mb. Something is running ferociously in the background. And thats just 1 day. I guess something is pulling too often.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] randypurcz:
Yeah, I did my research, and I am officially blaming the ROM for using up my DATA. No one's taking cheap shots at the dev, just pointing out there is a flaw that may cost you $, so watch closely.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DLM2583:
No sound from my head phones any ideas please
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luckychef28:
Yes we are. If our habits/apps haven't changed and all of a sudden our phones are using 5-6x the data, then it is the ROM. We're not ragging on Drew, but making him aware that something is going terribly amiss in the background.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Ok..... Please explain exactly how the ROM has used up your data. Please explain what is the difference with THIS ROM as compared to another ROM that has used up your data.

I would really like to know this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sighx:
Try refrlashing a clean install. I have sound on my earphones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] craigbailey1986:
I think the point we are making is we don't know exactly what's causing the extra data usage but I can say with all certainty that on this particular rom my phone uses more data for reasons I don't know. I can show you a snap shot of my data usage off att though. If your in need of proof.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sighx:
Temporarily I just have my BACKGROUND DATA off until someone knows what's eating the data haha. Can't leave this rom as its pretty amazing so far
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bud951:
I do appreciate them at least reporting it. I just checked my data and it seems normal but took your advice and restricted mobile data from apps that I dont use and certainly dont want using mobile data. We should all probably check our data usage more often. It looks like these poor chums found out the hard way and just kept me from experiencing it myself if it is in fact a rom issue. Better safe on that one!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
I don't need proof. There are plenty of things you can do to narrow this down. When u went to Menu/Settings/Applications/Running Applications what did u find?

When u used your Task Manager what did u find?

Have u frozen apps thru Titanium Backup that are running in the background that u don't use?

Download My Data Manager thru the Play Store to help YOU manage your data usage issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luckychef28:
Exactly. If the only thing that's changed is my ROM then why (and I'm not the only one) has my data usage spiked? I'm on wifi at work and home. I really only use data when driving and listening to Pandora - which has always been the #1 user for me. Now, Google Partner Setup is blowing Pandora away.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] craigbailey1986:
I decided not to dumb my phone down. If I can have my phone setup on other roms one way then this rom should be the same. Its not that big of a deal for me. I just wanted to say what I experienced. And I immediately got off when I noticed the data usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DLM2583:
Reboot fix sound issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
I got ya. All I'm trying to say is we have so many resources at our disposal to find out about data usage. So many applications.

If someone who is having this issue would download My Data Manager from the Play Store this app will tell you in a number of graphs and charts as to what is using your data. There so many Task Manager apps that can help you.

If u like this ROM enough take it upon yourselves and find the issue and report or correct it.

It's just really tough for me to believe this is ROM related.

Sorry guys let's just let it go.

Any way to just use the stock GS3 gallery rather than the GN2?
