I m suggesting you the following...

Back up sd cotents.

Download goo manager

Install twrp

Format your sd

Put rom inside

Reboot to recovery

Wipe everything except data( you ll get a warning) and external.

This will erase internal also

Install rom

Restore your sd contents via mtp without android secure , lost.dir and android

Tell me again :) :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] androb0t:
totally agree, boss!!!

i never use TB to restore all my apps....always from scratch download whenever I do full wipe..

just using TB to restore 'data' for games .....

that s why i never rely on dalvik and cache wipe only whenever i flash new ROM regardless same base and coming from same Dev :)

always notice much different in result :)

that s why sometimes hahah i m happy with your principle that you don't release new firmware without fully testing :)

I was using v12 before I thought to try on SuperDroid 2.0_4.2.1... i Thought we could always restore back.. :confused:

doesnt this v12 have a mass storage mode... or is this a problem with 4.1.2..???

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Heres what I plan to do.. I am backing up my sdcard to my PC (using MTP, which is taking forever). then I plan to manually copy all the data into the sdcard folder and manually remove the 0 folder... Will get back to you..!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] androb0t:
dalvic and cache only

then i found some problems including smart stay too...

then i did full wipe data (clean wipe) and re flash v 12

and no problem til now...everything worked including 4.2 camera that people reported FC ....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Yep, I thought the same and got caught out the same way!

Only way I got past it was to titanium backup all my user apps+data, formatted all partitions including internal sd (not external) and then reflashed 4.1.2

I tried everything else but that's all that worked!

CM10.1 needs to come with a warning sticker on the box lol

"Warning! Will cause a serious pain in the ass!" lol

I would "never" cheat on sotmax... its undoubtedly the best. I just thought to try out 4.2.1 for lockscreen widgets. I am thoroughly dissatisfied. I hope to expect something similar in sotmax soon.. though in the process of redeeming my SIII I found out a way to enable 16 colour inkeffect without losing the extended reeboot menu..:D... M still tying to figure out how to retain the circle battery without the mod and retaining everything as stock... will get beck as soon as figure that one out..

Also I maybe new to xda as a userid but I am qiite old for testing... I have tested nearly every rom available for my devices.i.e. SII and SIII and have found nothing better than Alliance Rom for SII and SotMax for SIII...

Even after my minor setback I will still continue to test roms and give my friends feedback about it... :)

I just want to find a simple process to dualboot my device so that I may not have to flash and recover data again and again and again...

Trust me when I say that I dont spend an entire week on a single rom...

Except for Sotmax..

Trust me sotmax... your rom is worth the week...

V8 - V12

Hi SotMax,

As much as I hated having to, I finally did a FULL WIPE of user data, dalvik, battery stat, and cache.

I upgraded from v8 to v12 [with HD voice] Using Yanks v2.8e kernal @ 1.5 ghz, and everything else as stock s3 settings.

In aroma i only chose the 4.2 camera and gallery, ink effect, google icons and call button in contacts.

So with fewer bloatware apps, and the same settings etc

I feel that this new version seems to be somewhat slower.

During task operations, it is somewhat choppy and constantly using up more ram than v8.

V8 was smooth like butter for me. :confused:

Has anyone else also noticed this? Your comments please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
No such problems here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...v12 hd voice modd is flying for me...i chose no apps in aroma only chose full pic caller and tw landscape...and in yanks customise settings i chose 1.4ghz...left other settings except +1 speaker vol and +3 headfone vol...no issues at all my friend...:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skssha:
Hey thanks man, works fine now

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...just try again wipeing cache and dalvik...;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AW079:
Tarzan,

V12 for me feels real sluggish, especially just after boot up.

Yep, wiped dalvik and cache, then reinstalled with the 4.2 camera only, purely for the 360 shooting mode.

Still feels the same.

Phone kinda hesitates....

No problems with games though, as it runs perfectly smooth on Modern Combat 4, and Nova 3.

If anything, just a little hot. Unit can reach 49c after two hours gameplay!!

RAM = 632/833

Gonna use Debloat to freeze the rest of Samsungs bloatware,

Manage start up progs using System Tuner Pro

and then select customisation:

15b toggle, android battery icon, S3 background, google icon in contacts list, enhanced notification centre.

Fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...i would also format system/data/preload..just to make sure..i use philz touch recovery;)

Has anyone had any problems with the ringtones being lost and defaulting back to the stock ones? Ever since I tried CM10.1, I had to format my SD card and I have been losing my custom ringtones several times a day. Looks like I might have to format the card again. I thought it might have been related to the GS3 death issue. It only seemed to start after I applied the fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STELIOSFAN:
Happened to me twice. I moved ringtones folder from external_sd to internal_sd and never happened again

[Galaxy S III Android Development] braso:
Cheers, will give it a go.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Same here - though for me it's only my message tone that gets lost and just disappears, it doesn't default, it just doesn't make a sound lol

Moving my ringtones folder onto my internal card fixed it as said above :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
Good to know that there is now an official fix for the Exynos exploit and sudden death issue, so we can expect another update quite soon eh?

Back to topic, I have been on V12 for the past 5 days and damnnnn!!! This is really good, my phone lagged a bit on V11 after a few days of usage but with v12 I have no issues or whatsoever. Thanks Sotmax for the amazing ROM. This should be the official Sammy ROM imo :p

I have 300+ user apps now installed and the phone doesnt mind me doing anything ;) Battery life is not that bad, some people keep whining about battery drain. GT-I9300 is a smartphone people, so its expected to drain a lot faster than your nokia 1100. I can manage a full day with moderate usage and still end up with 30 or 40% at 11pm in the evening, I browse the interenet, lot of texting on whatsapp and messaging app, tweeting quite often and play games like subway surfer for an hour or so, watch a video or just use some office applications so i dont think the battery life is that bad at all. I surely couldnt do all this with the stock ROM for sure.

Once again thanks Sotmax for the superb ROM and tarzan11 for his efforts as well. :highfive:

And of course with Tarzan11 adding his 3-UK HD Voice H3G CSC will be a bonus again :)

I think over the last few roms, and from others, I really do like the Circle % for battery.. Is there a CWM battery mod... I like to see the actual number for battery instead of the default battery icon and % number seperate.

Flash Player issues ... just in case the issue wasn't solved for everyone, I just fixed it for a friend of mine using the lastest JB version by Adobe that can be found here :

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Scroll down to "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and I used "Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.34)".

Works even on his dolphin browser...

Thought it might be worth sharing.

According to Sammobile the boot loader in the latest release contains a fix for the sudden death and exynos exploit.

ROM Sotmax Ultimate V12

Kernel Yank555.lu-V2.8g
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
That's what I've read so far as well ...

But I'd say if there is a fix for the exploit it will be in the kernel (boot image), and could also be to a certain extend in the ramfs.

As for the sudden death, I just have a pretty hard time seeing what was said to be a mainboard failure due to poor quality to be fixed by a different bootloader (software), but that's mere speculation on my part...

EDIT : ---------------------------------------------

Will flash ELLA stock kernel and validate the exynos-mem exploit is successfully fixed (using Chainfire's Demo app that actually uses the Exploit to test, not just checks filesystem rights like the app on Play Store) ... I'm very curious....

EDIT : ---------------------------------------------

Wow, Samsung has just incorporated Andrei's fix as the error message returned is the same as with his fix :D

But I can confirm, latest ELLA kernel blocks the exploit just as good as most customs kernels thanx to Andrei's first fix version most likely, since Samsung's kernel is compiled on Decembre 22nd, 17:04:04 KST and Andrei authored his current fix on Decembre 23rd CET.

So at least this confirms that any of the fixes provided by custom kernels actually protected successfully against the exploit from the day the exploit has been known ;)
