Actually, the 2nd post refers to battery issues, kernels, etc. The OP has enough in it without doubling its size. ;)

Besides, common sense (truly not an attack on you man, just a general observation) dictates that if you modify something and it doesn't work as expected and with hundreds of users NOT having the issues... Well, the first thing to check is what's different from the original.

Devs can't post caveats for every situation. We're all advanced users considering what we're doing to our phones. If somethings not right, it's our duty to eliminate possibilities without offloading that responsibility on the one guy giving us the ROM. :)

Ok so I'll fix permissions then when I reboot it just goes into a boot loop. I've had this happen on past versions of this Rom. I fix permissions through Rom manager because when I try doing so in recovery it takes about half a second and says it's finished. I'm using the team win recovery by the way.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akapaul26:
Check md5, full wipe, factory data reset, install rom with matching md5. Once rom boots wait 10 minutes then reboot. This rom installs without a hitch...If its bootlooping retrack your steps and try again.

Completely agree, there are so many mods in these roms now it's hard to tell what is going to conflict when adding your own mods. Best chances if finding problems on your own is to flash the rom your going to use as instructed and let it settle a day or so just to get to a clean base of what it's intended to work by the dev. Back up and flash what you want to try out, there's so many options out there and these devices can be quirky as most know by now you should notice right away what's going wrong. After that's been done and your at a point you can't figure out what others have working post it and explain the process.

To many people skip through to get things going because of impatience and miss key steps to working out what others have worked hard to create and get upset when the device isn't doing what they want. Follow this easy process and you'll get results.

FWIW, I do use ROM Mgr to Fix Permissions whenever I notice anything acting weird, an app misbehaving, system is sluggish, or if I get a random FC. Typically, when I do run it, I watch, and notice that many permissions are being repaired. I also typically observe better performance after I have run a Fix Permissions. Just throwing it out there - not disagreeing with you....

Is s3 ever gonna get multi Window?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akapaul26:
Ok but the only time u should encounter problems is from flashing too much crap outside of what is included in the developers release. There should be no FC with this rom, system should not be sluggish...usually this happens when u flash too much addons. If an app is misbehaving go and delete cache in app and data if needed...this will fix most problems. Anyway to each is own but IMO fixing permissions is not necessary and in my experience can cause problems.

unlocked phone?

A question I have:

Next january i am planning to go to the Caribbean for about a week; does my GSIII rooted phone works with any other Sim card I might purchase from another local network or is there anything needed to do for this to work or it just will no work?

advise is greatly appreciated in time for me to make adjustments. thanks all.

Get off that soap box dude. Seriously.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Dj, I love your ROMs. Been Frosty user since v3, and recently tried Blazing Beast (tw works better for me so I'm staying frosty). Anyway, can't wait for red v4 theme because it went really nice with my wallpaper. But take your time, I like frosty theme from one of the users (sorry, forgot the name). Keep up the great work man!

You have to unlock it. Make simple search, I heard about some free way to do this. If you look at the threads in which I've posted you should find the answear. Name of the thread should be somehow related to your question. If I find it I will update this post.

Update: Ok, I've found an app in the play store which can help. Search for GalaxSim Unlock. I haven't tested it so I don't know how it works, but I heard about it few times from people who said that it does work. Good luck man!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] L1Wulf:
1st things first. Contact TMobile and see what options they can offer. Oftentimes you can switch to voice and lose data if that's all you need with partial billing for just the week. It may be cheaper than setting up service on another carrier if it's supported.

If not, do some research on local carriers and what their network supports. If you're going to go with an alternate SIM, you'll need service anyway so this will be a requirement anyway. They'll let you know if the phone is supported and how to acquire the SIM.

Lastly, it may be possible to set up service via ATT or a compatible reseller of their bandwidth that _might_ let you roam on a Caribbean carrier if TMobile won't. This is probably more painful than the rest and would be the last choice.

If you were staying longer it might be better to pickup a local "disposable" prepaid, but probably not worth it for a week.

Give TMobile a try, you might be surprised.

Hajmer - if I'm not mistaken, an account in good standing may get you help from your local TMobile store in regards to unlocking. I know they've done it in the past but details elude me right now...

Quick Google search - https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v1/documents/1588

P. S. Yeah, insomnia sucks... I need to stop browsing and get some sleep. :banghead:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Maybe they can help, I've never asked. Last time I was doing sim unlocking was year ago on my sgs vibrant. Still using it with att prepaid :D

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jschurawlow:
I've had better battery (just by observation not really documented specifics) since having flashing odin stock jellybean first. It seems to have helped with android system usage mostly (as from what I've read numerous places the file system difference between ics and jb is what may cause that).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akapaul26:
I would say that the community is split on this. You could just make the jump without odin and be fine. You could also spend an extra 5-10 minutes and odin. It is not mandatory but I personally odin stock first.

Considering many, including devs, have said "yes, it matters" many times in the past, would you do it the right way now if someone said you must follow the proper procedure?

Yes. It matters. Stop cutting corners. Will your phone burst into flames? No. Will you have something weird, major or minor, happen later on? Probably. Is it really worth it to be lazy and take a chance?

You're losing about 15 minutes max but saving tons of time in the future when things don't work quite right.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 5ft24:
Yes. As was posted earlier, the official JB release changed the size of the partitions the system is stored on. Think of it this way. You have a hard drive almost full on your pc, then buy an upgrade to a new OS that comes with a larger hard drive due to different sizes for the new os. Do you take the extra time to install the new drive, or do you install it on the old drive which fills it up and crashes your pc? The extra 5-10 minutes up front will save you a lot of grief later.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
Coming from the G2 I'm used to superwiping but I've noticed it isn't pushed as hard here. I would imagine aside from partitioning that would do it since it formats everything lol. Odin is probably faster.

We would factory reset, wipe all partitions except recovery, then convert to ext4 if needed, then flash then wipe dalvik, cache, and efs. Lol lucky for us we had a cashable zip that took care of most of it and later got madmaxx's 4ext recovery that did wonders for simplifying things. Can't wait till he brings it to the s3 lol.

In your gallery and music apps. If you cant get photos to show or music and it looks like you have also tried some other things your last resort might be to save any data and files you need from internal and ex storage and format both. Before you do this though check the root of your sd card that there is no .nomedia fie. Also chcek there is not a .nomedia file in Sdcard/android/data.. if there is delete. Also if you are using rom manager you might delete it, it has been known to generate the .nomedia file in the incorrect places. Some app you have downloaded could be causing the .nomedia files.

Does the rom have the red system color by default? If so, can it be changed with settings within the rom, or would I need to flash a theme? I really like this rom, but I'm not digging the red system colors.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] L1Wulf:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please but I believe some file managers will NOT show .nomedia as any file starting with a period is a hidden file in Linux. If you can mount your phone and browse from your computer, they'll appear that way.

To expand on why you don't want that file in the root of your phone or ext card - that file will tell your media apps (anything looking for sound, video and pics, including music players, system settings like ring tones and wallpapers, etc) to skip over that folder/directory and EVERY folder contained in that one, including folders within folders. So a .nomedia at the top (root) of your SD Card says ignore EVERY pic, video, etc on this card.

With that said, do not remove every instance of the file. It serves a purpose to keep things like all those images from your web browsing sessions from showing up in your gallery (like banners and ads for example).

Best response of the week (in two parts)!

Please do not use your $600 toy as a guinea pig! While almost nothing is permanent, it's quite possible to make you want to throw your phone out the window or give up in frustration when it's borked. We all had to learn, many of us the hard way, but there is TONS of info out there to help you avoid the hard lessons. Patience, common sense and don't get too experimental. Things like formatting a partition is fine... If it's the right partition. Do the wrong one and you're bootlooping trying to figure out how to get a ROM back on your phone because you wiped your SDCard and the OS in one session. ;)

2nd if you have questions about a tool that isn't DJ's, use the tools thread! It's there to help people. You'll get more help and faster if you do.

This ROM has some awesome people, but as I mentioned before, helpers get burnt out. Use them for Frosty specific stuff. Read, read and read some more. Usually that really annoying issue you have has already been addressed.

I know the search here sometimes sucks. But often if you jump back 10 or 20 pages and quickly skim posts, you'll get your answer on your own about 500x faster than waiting for someone to do it for you. :D
