It won't have the efs folder problem !??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Install with a custom kernel. If you plan on going back to older roms you may have issues. But once your going forward no problems. Mg4 modem is really good.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There is no EFS problem!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
Hmmm... until about 2 hours ago I've had absolutely no problems with 14.01 (XXEMG4). All of a sudden my signal is almost gone and I get constant "not registered on network errors". A restart of the phone "sometimes" let's me make a call etc, but not long after, signal drops and I'm back to "not registered on network". Very annoying seeing that I'm on standby for the weekend. For now I've diverted calls to my wife's phone.

I know this issue is not rom related, but I'm just posting to ask for possible ideas on what to try? I've spoken to the service provider and they've confirmed that nothing is wrong in the area nor with my account. It really seems like a network problem, but alas, my wife's phone works fine. Eg, signal on my phone is now full, but still the same error.

Is there even a remote possibility that the XXEMG4 modem is not supported all of a sudden and that I should revert to an older one? I did make my EFS backup as instructed. Probably hasty, but I want to get this solved! :D

I will try this out to see if it works for me. Is Google now available to download anywhere as I couldn't see it on the play store?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
It's called Google search.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

I've had this before.

I found turning the phone off and removing the battery and sim card for a short while (around 30-60 seconds) then after that time hold the power button in for 15 seconds (battery and sim still out)

Then put the sim and battery back in and turn it on.

If the problem still persists then it could be a network issue, hardware issue or you did something (changed settings or installed an app) which has upset the phone.

So if I was you I'd try as I put it above then check for any faults on the network in your area (if your local exchange has gone down your phone will try to connect to the nearest one which you could be right on the edge of.

If no faults or someone you know is on the same network and their signal is fine then do a nandroid backup and flash again with a data wipe. Then setup your phone quick by skipping everything (we only need to know if the phone gets a good signal). If everything is fine then it's something you've done on the rom.

If the problem is still there then it may be an issue with the internal antenna in the phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time to advise. I'm going to leave it overnight and see if it's better tomorrow (in case it's network). Otherwise I'm going to start following your suggestions one by one. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
Now I am still on V13..so..u mean if I flashed the 14th with custom kernel..won't have efs problem !??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Nope.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MauricioAedo:
Hi friends

I'm using v14.0.1 and everything works fine except for very slow 3G connection.

I know it's due to the EMG4 modem, so my question is which modem is best for South America or specifically Chile?.

Hi, wanted to flash the latest version 14.0.1. my efs has been modified to latest format. i successfully flashed omega 43.9 and then cm.2 temasek v 18.

with 14.0.1 i chose stock kernel with mg4 modem but ended up with no signal, then flashed mg 2 modem ...still no signal ?

went back to omega 43.9 now --- everything fine again !

what choices should i make in aroma for modem and kernel for 14.0.1 to work without having to restore efs backup please ? thanks for the rom !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Flash a custom kernel instead of the stock one. Also check the post on the website regarding problems, which has a link for the stock kernel, if you still need it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricksIII:
Hey guys,

Installed 14.0.1. I get the whole time touchwiz-start has stopped. i did a super wipe twice. fixing permissions and wipe caches several times. but it didnt work.

Someone know what to do?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Found the problem. I selected all the weatherapps in the installer. Installed it again and selected only accuweather transparant. And the Error has gone!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
In reference to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44915964&postcount=14332 , I had to come post that I used the zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2393289 to install MG2 and signal problems as encountered are now gone! I don't want to cause confusion, but perhaps the MG2 modem is just more compatible with the area I'm in (Pretoria, South Africa). I'm so chuffed I got it fixed! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rraaka:
thank you kryten, choosing boeffla kernel in the aroma solved my issue :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
v15 is well under way. I'd say about 70% before I put online for beta testers.

Kernel issue seems to be gone.

Can someone upload the MG2 modem and ril?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maazy:
Hey Kryten,

What about removing those two gaps? The one between the clock and the right side of the screen and the one between the notification icon and the left side of the screen?

Please, take this post as a suggestion not a request, I'm greatful for all you provide us for free :)

Thank you.

For a Reason your ROM is the only one I can flash without a problem after upgrading to modem MG4???

On all others I get such a yellow floating box with phone information, without setup assistant on start etc. Something is right with yours

May it's because of MG6 base?

IHi guys,

I've got the new YouTube but this problem also was here on my old versions of YouTube, but if you look at the picture I attached you'll notice that the 2 buttons under the texts are slightly cut off. Is there a way to fix this? Or is it a problem with the app that Google need to address? Any help is appriciated, thanks

I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem or something else, so I've posted this on Q&A aswell.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] puffo81:
Hi, I've got the same exact issue: no registration to network, while data still work. Sometime it works after a reboot, Sometime not. I think the problem is related to the handover if GSM cells, because when it works, it continues working until I move to another place. Can't find a solution, just found that flashing phone.zip and wiping cache always solve the issue. Data connection never stops working instead.

Sometime it's enough to put airplane mode on/off, btw it's a big issue.

I'm using Wind provider, Italy
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44941904&postcount=14346 . Solved my issue. Perhaps MG2 is also better in your region.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lyylim:
I have no any issue on installed 14.0.1. I wipe everythg and installed custom kernel. It run quite smoothly.

Just feel the data line a bit unstable, dunno whether if my network problem here...

Another issue hope anyone can help, while i read email from gmail with attachment, i can't open the attachment at all? May i know anythg i miss out? Thks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] puffo81:
Thanks for the tip! Flashed MG2, let's see how it goes..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinokirk:
I've had loads of network drop outs since flashing this rom/modem? Is there another one I can try?

What is this MG2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
It's just another radio / baseband / modem. Released in India. Solved my network issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinokirk:
Can I flash this safely, now that I've flashed this new modem that's changed my efs?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
Yes, you can if you're already on MG4. The zip file even makes another EFS backup should you require it. Go read the thread where it originates. Full of info. I did a nandroid then flashed the zip.

That thread states:

Basebands alone do not alter efs format

[Galaxy S III Android Development] wess786:
I have just backed up my EFS so that when I don't like the MG4 modem I can flash the file and be back on my old modem. Can I still flash other ROMs like AOKP, CM and PA while using the MG4 modem? I think I can, but I want to be sure.

My last question, which kernel do you all prefer on V14, or should I flash V12/V13?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
You can use any ROM with MG4 modem (just be sure that the ROM you're flashing doesn't come with any other modem than the MG4+ by default) Mostly AOKP/AOSP/CM roms aren't packaged with the modem. just the RIL (openRIL)

Boeffla was always my favorite, & even kryten recommends that to his userbase.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wess786:
Thanks. Are you using the MG4 modem? If yes, do you see any improvements in the WiFi/provider signal?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
On-screen Navigation like on the Nexus ;) It's optional! I'd take screenshots but I don't think it shows on them :)

It's pretty pointless imho, but someone asked for it.

@Everyone else

Check out the OTA Updater and let me know what you think :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
I know what you are reffering to... and sorry for my repetition .. If i choose normal battery will it be blue??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep ;) AOSP Blue Battery is the same but with the percentage numbers in the front.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I reflashed.. no wipes in AROMA. Instead of rebooting, I went into recovery and wiped my cache and dalvik. Rebooted.. profit. Its working! Can't get over how good it looks.. thanks Kryten! Ima try to see if there's anything missing :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ahh ok, Good stuff! I'll try wiping cache now.

Even if you choose the "no wipe" option in AROMA, though, it still wipes the cache and dalvik :P so you wiped twice!

And Two things:

Bug was in the sound packs on OTA, fixed and uploading the fixed file. I don't think anyone had noticed yet which is good!

Corey, turns out I just rebooted and it fixed GoogleNow. I didn't wipe (was testing that first) and for some reason it fixed that and it picked up sound. BUT I had installed SwiftKey as well. The plot thickens!

I'm going to add it to the Issues in the OP's so people can be aware of a potential fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
So far so good.. Great job..but..Found 2 things.. trying to set the wallpaper from menu button ->wallpaper->gallery got FC..second I selected no Nexus style...and lost the ripple effect..somthing may be wrong in the installer.. I love the ripple effect..not this "stupid" lock..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinokirk:
Ripple effect has been nerfed!

The Gallery FC was present on v3 too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's not! You just need to turn it back on. I had it turned off as default because it's closer to AOSP style then ;)

Go to: Settings --> Lock Screen --> Lock Screen Options --> Tick "Ripple Effect"

Which Gallery are you using because I've changed both my lockscreen Wallpaper and and homescreen Wallpaper with the stock Gallery without force closes (non-Note II)! Literally within the last hour (was resetting back up)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] rambo32:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] wess786:
The translation is "camera error". Yes, I come from another ROM. Illusion to be exact.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Did you wipe anything when you installed this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rambo32:
I did all of this and have the same problem... It is a problem with the camera`s module driver... Because *#34971539# can`t be opened... and i can`t flash new driver...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wess786:
Yes. I wiped data/factory reset. I also wiped system. I used the button that 'you want to flash a new ROM on your phone' on PhilZ recovery.

However, on some other ROMS my camera just works.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I think you have the AOSP Phone installed? Install the Samsung one, then you can access those menus.

Well, in 12 months of flashing UltimaROM numerous times daily, I've never encountered this, so it's not my ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rambo32:
Nope, i have stock Phone... It opens, and then laggs too much and gives an error "FactoryTest.apk stopped"

No not yet & i don't even want to even though i already have my efs backup. i remember i had an argument with Kryten about MG4 not far ago. He said MG4 is more powersaving than older modems.

Hi, I just installed v14.0.1 (+latest phone.zip) on Boeffla, and it's just ****ing awesome!! I've updated from v13 without wiping.

Only a couple things I've noticed:

* Enabling Blocking Mode, setting Allowed Contacts to "Custom" and selecting the "Allowes contacts list" option makes the whole Settings app to FC.

* I didn't install Kies support from the installed (never did), but in the Settings, the last option of the first tab is "Kies with wifi". It makes Settings to FC, too.

Thanks for everything, Kryten. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] johnk1973:
My mistake, I'm actually on V14 but have the F/C problem in contacts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
That's because you're using the AOSP Contacts.

Don't take USB charge too high.

Normally, USB ports provide 500mA of current, so unless you are sure that your port can provide more, leave it to default.

Asking for more Ampere can damage the port.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's nothing to do with UltimaROM. I'm fairly certain it's tied to either installing kies, or the modified status (binary counter).
