Just sharing something:

I'm an aosp fan, and would have stuck with cm10 if it wasn't for Sammy's closes source issues.

Since this rom is so stripped down it kinda reminds me of pure android accept for ugly tw framework.

For those of you that wants pure look, vertimus domination works fine on top of this rom. Just strip the zip for anything not included in this rom. Using 7zip, I left only calculator, phone, contacts, mms, settings and framework in the domination zip.

I also flashed 15 toggles mod and circle battery from his thread on top of that.

Everything simply on top of this rom, no other adjustment, no issues. Call recording still works fine, dialer and mms looks great, no fc

For anyone drooling over aosp, this rom with "custom" domination is a good way to get close;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
could you link to this? Are there any stability issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Hi,

Link to the theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1730397

Some issues... check the last, maybe you can check the last 5 pages... Nobody report issues with Wanam ROM (HyperLight is based on Wanam ROM) but with other ROMs, all based on XXLIB...

If I were you I would wait a little ...

@ Eddiemc , you are on the last update of this theme (01.10.2012. - v1.3.4)?

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
Thanks, i won't flash it, but thought that it'd be handy to have the link around in this thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jult:
Some more tips:

- doubleTwist (great music player, best interface, always working as expected)

- ACast (best -free- podcatcher out there)

- Barcode Scanner

- Bubble (leveler)

- ElectroDroid (if you're into electronics and stuff)

- ES Task Manager

- FrequenSee (cool realtime mic spectrum viewer)

- GPS Test

- K-9 Mail (best android mail client out there hands down!)

- PicSay (fun image/photo editing stuff)

- Power Toggles

- RecForge Lite (great audio recorder, detects secondary mic of S3!)

- SSHDroid (handy for safe file transfers via ssh)

- Total Commander (killer file manager)

- Vignette (great configurable photo-editing fun)

- Wifi Analyzer

I have more tips, but most of the others are well-known or local (Dutch).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
I like some of the alternatives presented.

I'm not that much of an android market inhabitant, but i am dutch, so those would be welcome too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Eddiemc:
Yea latest. 1.3.4

Only issues are a few graphical bits that vertimus will update next.

The video player and music player has some Sammy tw residue still sticking. Dialer also has a blue zero instead of white. Some dude posted a screen shot of those bits in the domination thread. Minor stuff. Vert will fix.

But I ripped those out of the zip anyway (except for dialer, I left that to get the call screen modded). I use mx player, poweramp, exDialer, so no problems.

In regards to the theme, dunno what people are having issues with. I've got absolutely no issues.

Messages themed. Looks good. Call screen and contacts themed, looks good (records fine), power menu, popups, widget screen, basically all framework looks great. Oh yeah, and settings and calculator looks good too..

But I'm not trying to convert anyone, just reporting that for me everything works perfectly as long as you remove a lot of the apk's in the domination zip. I've only tried my "stripped" version, and a general rule is "the more you mod the more you break" ;)

Here: screen shot showing what i had left in the vrtheme/system/apps folder in the theme zip. In retrospect I'd remove videos too..

Is it me or is the calendar (S Planner) incredibly stuttery? Everything else is butter smooth
[Galaxy S III Android Development] j0ep0:
Over here, opening appointments and stuff works fine, "swiping" weeks isn't really fluid but acceptable for me. Enabling "Disable hardware overlays" and "Force GPU rendering" in Settings -> Developer Options makes it much smoother. Don't forget to reboot after enabling the settings to make sure they are active.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] auralzx:
That doesnt seem to be a fix because i have a bunch of apps that crash if i use those settings

I can not find in Addons Samsung's SMemo app. Where I can download it?

v0.81 compatible
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wlxxiii:
hi, it seems that chinese characters are not showing properly on 0.81 compatible.

i have tried the following suggestion but doesnt work.......any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] j0ep0:
Unfortunately, for now, that's the only solution.

Basic don't have S-beam to send files (Wifi direct). Compatible version hasn't got all, try flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?600h7iz8dpjd051 and let me know. Somehow I'm only able to receive files (testing with a 4.0.4 SGS3). All the required apk and framework files are there, but getting logcat messages about a too old INDI server.

Get the APK's from here: http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php#8368aelabyenc and put them in /system/app. If you need a flashable zip, let me know which files you need.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sciacca75:

The thing i don't like since last update, changing to wanam's framework, is the fact that when pressing the volumekeydown button, the 'lowest' volume you can get is vibrate. Whether before it used to go to silentmode as lowest.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] saravoxy:
Hey Joe,

v 0.8.1 works really great. :good: Is there a way to disable to wallpaper scrolling in the TW launcher? I tried flashing a 4 by 5 Wallpaper scrolling off zip file found in the themes section but it didn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or is it not working for everyone else? Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LentoViolentoMan:
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but why not switch to something like apex launcher? it has so much more functionality, yet stays light and looking like TW launcher.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] saravoxy:
Yeah man, I am using Nova Launcher Prime currently. I have used Apex also, but I don't find them as smooth as the stock TW launcher (at least on JB).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] huuub:
For those having heavy distortion on calls (loud noise and voices are hardly understandable, you here it even when dialing out). This is without the headset. There is a thread for it since this problem is related to ROMS in combination with what carrier you are using.

I have the issue with this ROM as well as with VikingXRom.

If you are having the issue please report it in that thread and try using another SIM from another carrier to see if the issue stays!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Aylarth:
I'm still on HyperGalaxy 1.8 but its good to know someone took over the project and I can still rely on the Hyper ROMs! Thanks for your work, Joe! :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Upon returning home from a business trip, the dreaded NO SIM error started creeping up on my phone again. 2.5 weeks in Salt Lake City, no issue. Back in TN, horrid NO SIM errors abound. I called Verizon tech support today, and he noticed I already exchanged the phone for a new one, along with a new SIM. One thing he mentioned, it looked like I was "roaming" in the system, so he reset some routers (his words) after having me pull the battery and wait a couple of minutes before powering the S3 back up. Sure enough, on the drive home from work, the phone had a NO SIM issue... so I unplugged the battery for the rest of the drive home. Once inside, I plugged the battery back into the phone, everything looked hunky dory, so I went about my business... and sure as s***, the phone gave me another NO SIM. So I contacted Verizon again, and she offered me any Android phone as a replacement. Now, I don't know if you guys have looked at the current line up for Verizon's Android based smartphones, but it's basically the Moto Razr or the Samsung Galaxy S3. I have not found a case that I absolutely love, so I have invested in quite a few so far, plus additional charging cradles, car mounts, etc... frustrating because I love this phone, but I use it for work, so I can't deal with this issue much longer.

If you had to select another phone to replace it, what would you go with? The new RAZR M? (lose NFC, smaller and crappier screen, etc) The RAZR Maxx?

Thanks, in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
No other phone on Verizon can touch the S3. Only phone that can be comparable is something that is not out yet.

Then when it comes out, they will tell you it is to new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Might hold out for the Note 2. Testing something currently... wondering if Go SMS is the issue, seeing as the problem seems to creep up with some sort of combination of texting and calls. Will update tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fearlesspaula:
Did you apply the latest update? It should have updated automatically OTA, unless you are running custom unlocked rooted whatever ROM. In that case go to dev section and download latest radio and flash it. Should fix that damn no SIM problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Yep, already flashed last week. Tech Support told me tonight they have been fielding calls post patch showing it didn't fix the issue. If they are offering me any android of my choice, they are probably as flustered as I am. Almost went to a Rezound, a step backwards, I know, but I am at wit's end. Will see how the next week goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fearlesspaula:
Sorry to hear. Try and hold out for a fix. I came from a rezound, and while I loved my HTC phones, this s3 is great. Too different to compare.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rpuleo:
A fix is being pushed out today to address this issue. S3 is bar far the best phone you will find out there...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
do you have a source about that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joe_sun:
Verizon is super frustrating. I switched from Sprint and got the Gnex, along with the "mute issue" where all of a sudden your microphone stops working during a call and you have to hang up. I've had the phone replaced and the replacement still does it so they offered me an "early upgrade" if I buy the S3 for $200.00. I did some research and found out about the no sim issue on the S3 so when I called back to tell them I didn't want an S3 they offered a RAZR M at $99.00 :/

I'm really considering breaking my contract with them to get a phone I like that works as it's supposed to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ya. This issue is really bugging me. I honestly believe there is a hiccup between the phone and the tower when a text is sent. I noticed at home that when I have wifi connected, and then send a text, the S3 will connect to 4G to send the message. At that point, something triggers in the phone and it loses connectivity with the SIM.

Not that this helps much... I explained it to level 2 support and they kept telling me how it was a new to them issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DertyDOH:
Droid M is somewhat close. I'd stay with it or wait for the Razr HD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Hmm, I'll check it out. The M seems a downgrade at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joe_sun:
You're not kidding. I don't know if they REALLY don't know about these issues or they are just lying.

Tier 2 was who was helping me with the replacement phone and when I mentioned the No Sim error they said they had never heard of it and the only problem he's ever seen with an S3 is when a user doesn't turn off their old phone when activating a new phone :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ya, it amazes me that their "level 2" support still tries this excuse. Every time they try this with me, I ask them to tell me what the latest S3 software update addresses, and then the phone gets quiet, followed by excuses and them never hearing about it... even tho Verizon put out a patch to fix the issue.

Keep documenting it, tis the only way it's going to get addressed, or at the very least you will have ammo to get a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joe_sun:
I'm sooo close to just paying the etf and switching to a gsm provider.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Have you tried the new HD modem for S3 yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Following guidance from the 2nd level tech after calling tech support, I stopped by the local verizon store today to pick up a new SIM. This is my third SIM, but she assured me there was a bad batch floating around the stores. We'll see... fingers crossed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
A friend of mine had the same issue, we both have the GS3 and live in the same area. She gets constant sim errors while I've never got one and I switch between 3G/4G frequently. She recieved a new sim a few weeks ago and hasn't had an error since. Seems a lot of sims are incorrectly configured with Verizon's network, just an educated guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I am amazed. 24 hours, not a single NO SIM error. Maybe I was un-lucky enough to get two bad SIMs the first time...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Still not a single no sim error. I am about 24 hours from saying it was a bad batch of SIM cards... never thought I would say that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
You and thousands of others. Verizon is still avoiding blame for this at every turn. It's a bit coincidental that no other carrier w/ the GS3 have this issue. I'm guessing it has something to do with how the sims are identified on the lte network, could be wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joe_sun:
No, sorry for the confusion.

I'm on a Gnex right now that's giving me the mute issue. VZW offered to sell me an S3 for $230.00 becuase of my problems so I did some reasearch and found out about the No Sim problem and decided that the mute issue was better to deal with than the no sim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Almost 48 hours with not a single NO SIM issue. Pretty confident to say that it must have been a bad batch of SIM cards. Now that I seem to have fixed that, and the bluetooth / headphones jack issue, this phone finally has won me over. (it just sucks it took me almost three weeks to do so)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisjm00:
I was looking at the S3 but the no sim issue is worrying me. How many people are having the problem with sim cards they transferred from Galaxy Nexus'?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I don't know of any personally. But, I also don't know of any reason to keep your SIM card from an older phone. Starting to honestly believe they just had a bad back of new SIMs in the stores.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Get another s3. Seems like a small minority have this problem. Keep getting s3s until you don't have the issue.

Nothing competes right now. You'd be screwing yourself...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisjm00:
I wish there was a definitive answer. It does seem like there were a bad batch of sims but I don't know. It seems odd that there were lots of phones using 4G sims prior to this that experienced no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
It's Verizon's tendency to make us beta testers that is frustrating. Their rush to get numbers of phones out, and, 4G towers to compete with AT&T that created this... you're right, I haven't seen this prior to the S3. But, at least we're getting somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
NO SIM error tonight while shopping. I give up...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I wonder if you call Verizon Tech Support (again, ugh), if they might discover anything that's changed in the past 12 hours relative to your activation and the SIM. I wonder if there's something amiss in their records, because this symptom hitting you seems highly random in terms of timing, but just plain stupid in terms of inevitability.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I called em tonight to let them know that the NO SIM bug bit me again, three times after I thought it was fixed. They offered me a Galaxy Nexus, touting its jelly bean version of android. I have to be honest, I almost took it. But, I decided to wait for another update which the level 2 tech said was coming soon.

She actually called me back as she wanted to check on a few things, during which my phone decided to get a no sim error again. They are getting worse where they don't recover anymore, and my phone is pretty much dead until I restart. After checking whatever it was she needed to, I made sure she noted my account and left it at that.

So frustrating. Especially with a Nov release date for the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eagene:
Bluetooth/headphones jack issue? Do you mean that you can get BT to work when there is something plugged into the headphone jack? That still doesn't work for me and I wish it did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I'm curious about this issue, even though it hasn't hit our phones.

Does the symptom seem location-dependent, such as it occurs in one or more areas, but not others? This post seems to claim it happens only near a certain tower for a particular owner's phone, for example.

Does this manual Settings selection at least temporarily bring back service when the issue hits?

Does the symptom happen at all on a non-TouchWiz ROM, such as CyanogenMod or AOSP?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I was able to overcome this with two methods. I bought the iBolt car dock which gives me audio out the USB port instead of the headphones jack and works in the car. Also you can buy a $9 bluetooth usb receiver on ebay that will work in the car as well. I have a thread in this section on this topic that has a link for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eagene:
Just a data point - my daughters and I all have the GS3 and they were all working perfectly all summer, including during a road trip from NJ to CO/NM. Daughter #1 goes off the college and starts to get no sim errors sporadically when trying to send texts. She says it seems to work worse in her dorm than anywhere else. It does seem to me like her problem is location dependent. I'll be up there this weekend and I'm curious to see if my phone starts to act up.

Does the setting you mention turn off LTE? That would make sense - some of what I'm reading seems to indicate it happens in areas where service is switching between 3G & 4G.

I just checked and I don't have that setting? I don't have Network Mode there, I have User packet data, Global data roaming access, and Access Point Names. Am I in the wrong place?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I agree, it would be quite interesting to hear if you start to receive the NO SIM error after visiting that same location.

I believe that was their point, yes.

I just looked and don't see their recommended setting, either. Checking under "Access Point Names", this conversation has an owner who mentions that "LTE" is selected on a phone which gets the NO SIM error, but EHRPD is selected on a phone in the same location doesn't get the error. Might not mean anything, but another data point, perhaps.

For switching to "CDMA" from that prior post, I'm thinking that the Phone Info app might be the best way if turning off 4G access will temporarily work around a NO SIM error condition.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I have the setting to switch off LTE and go straight CDMA. But, I have to be honest, the main reason I switched to this phone was LTE. My office is in an area that has poor 3G coverage, but I still need a semi decent data connection. So I picked up the S3 and the LTE works great from there. If I have to turn LTE off just to hobble along... Poppycock!

I am wondering what is different with this phone than, say, any other LTE device. I still honestly believe it's a combination of location / cell towers and verizon silly version of TouchWiz. (this doesn't happen on any other carrier)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Yes, but does switching to CDMA temporarily relieve the NO SIM error?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Sometimes. But so does toggling airplane mode. Other times the hiccup is hard enough that it requires a restart or battery pull.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Does "hiccup is hard enough" mean that the phone can't operate on Verizon's network at all (data and/or voice), as opposed to being able to lock onto a 4G signal? When NO SIM is hit, is any value still selected under Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names, perhaps?

I'm really curious about the boundaries of this error, to maybe pin down where the issue is occurring at some point.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Correct. The screenshot I posted earlier shows the heavier hiccup that renders the entire Verizon connection dead, CDMA and LTE. The lighter version that is recoverable is a bit different. I will see the SMS send, then the 4G LTE symbol pops up (if I have wi-fi present, or just stay on if I don't) and then the bars that show the CDMA signal strength turn to a single triangle... and then blammo, error sending text message, and NO SIM reported. If I don't get the "NO SIM - Insert SIM card" message in my notification screen (not bar) the phone might recover, or switching to CDMA or Airplane mode then toggling back to normal will fix it.

When I receive the notification screen NO SIM message... the phone needs are restart or battery pull.
