Seriously? Pay attention to the punctuation. It clearly tells you what to do. But if you want to keep custom recovery it tells you do this.... And if you want to keep root do this... But obviously if you don't do those steps it flashes to out of the box condition.

So if it says New Md4 don't you think that would be the latest one? And MD1 says old? Either you don't comprehend well or your just over thinking everything.

Instructions are clear as day. Here they are exactly how their written not that cut and paste edit you did.

ll try to keep this simple.

So here it goes, short but sweet...

You know it, you love it. Single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the sprint store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. (This is where it ends for you)

To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system. To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system.

Pay attention to the punctuation? There is no punctuation.

"To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system. To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system."

These sentences don't explain anything very well. I comprehend just fine. The first sentence is talking about multiple flashes. Doing one flash after a different flash. So it's telling me to flash the downloaded file after a different rom flash to keep a custom recovery. There is nothing about the different rom flash or a download link for one. So if I want a custom recovery, then what rom flash am I doing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
The pink text talking about the recovery is a clickable link that takes you to a page full of flashable recoveries you can download. The blue text where it says "flash this after install before rebooting" will download a flashable zip to root the phone. Flash the stock zip you download (either mb1 or md4) and you'll be bone stock when it finishes. At this point if you want to keep root access you would flash the "root zip". If you want a custom recovery you flash the "recovery zip". You can do one or both.either order.But they MUST be flashed after the stock zip and BEFORE you reboot the phone. That help or is my dislexia showing again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyv573:
Thank you. I guess next time, and many after, I'll just have to ask the person who posted the instructions and links.

So, if I flash the stock zip first then root and use the custom recovery, will I be able to use morphology 1.5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Don't see why not. So when finished, the end result would be bone stock, rooted, with a custom recovery + whatever morphs you add.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyv573:
I was trying to use the stock recovery to install the mb1 stock file and got "signature verification failed".

Looked it up and found out it can't be installed with the stock recovery and needed to have CWM/TWRP to flash it.

How do I install or flash cwm6 from one of the links? It wouldn't let me with the stock recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Are you rooted? Then use rom manager or goo manager. Otherwise you need Odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyv573:
I'm not rooted. Does Odin flash zip files? Is rom manager on the play store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Yes rom manager is in the play store but you're not rooted so you'll need Odin. and no it does not flash zips. Download cwm or twrp from here

What is emulated sdcard? Titanium Backup woes.

I recently did a clean install of this rom (wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2315765

Everything works fine except I see my SD card is emulated when I open a file manager. Is this enabled by default, what is the point of it, and how can I disable it if I don't need it?

Also, I used Titanium backup and the backup was saved onto my internal storage, so I had to move it to my SD card before doing the clean install. I read that the backup is automatically saved to SD card anyway, so why was it saved to my internal storage?

When the new rom was installed, I installed Titanium backup and tried to do a restore. It did not recognize any backup, and the backup was on the SD card. I saw that the backup path was in the emulated SDcard by default, and I had to copy the backup there in order for Titanium to recognize it. How do I set Titanium to have the backup path to be the SD card by default?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Can you explain what you mean by emulated? By this you mean you have a new 0 folder and everything was moved there?

Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halomaster:
Correct. When I open the file manager that came with the ROM (OI file manager), I would go to storage, then I would see my internal storage, SD card, and emulated [0]. There is also a "legacy" folder in the emulated folder. The emulated folder was the default path for titanium backups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That's because you flashed a 4.2 rom. That's what happens. You should have read more on what happens when you flash 4.2 roms. It creates a different storage folder it's all part of goggles multi user.

Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halomaster:
Alright. Is there any benefit to the emulated SD card? What can I do with it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Nothing that's how it has to be when running 4.2 if you flash back to a 4.1 rom you can make sure you copy everything to the root folder and delete the extra 0 folder.

Are there any aosp/cm based ROMs which support a photospehere camera? Tried to get it installed on slim bean and liquid smooth but either the option isn't in the app or the app never appears.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Just a heads up, AOSP ROMs are not allowed to use photosphere in them. Just like Gapps, they are Google only. There are camera apps out there though like you found that allow it. But no aftermarket ROM is (suppose) to have it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Sorry whip but I think your wrong on this one photosphere is AOSP/Google so any aosp ROM it is available you just have to know how to install it and use it. I am to believe your thinking of Touchwiz ROMs unable to support the Photosphere camera

Here is the 4.3 photosphere camera flash in your recovery.

I could be wrong, no one is perfect. I just rememebr reading somewhere that photosphere is proprietary to Google only phones. (nexus).

After installing the app from my link I had two cameras and two galleries. After flashing your link I have only one. Is there anyway of telling if that's the 4.3 one? Looks the same, stitching seems better but might be placebo ;)

Could you also tell me if there is something like the regular S3 camera with more options I could have besides this one? Going on a trip tomorrow, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Another ninja edit: I can't believe it, it seems like I can take pictures without pressing to focus first! Thank you so much!

Is Root required for Nandroid backup/restore

My phone is currently rooted with CWM recovery.

Is it possible to flash CWM recovery via ODIN to an unrooted phone, boot into recovery mode, then do the nandroid backup from CWM recovery, and later restore the backup all without rooting? Or is root required?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
The camera will look the same because aosp ROMs use aosp camera cm uses a CM based camera now if you tap and hold the screen your camera options come up also if you tap on the camera icon is where the photosphere,panoramic, and video come to play
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DeucesAx:
I used the photosphere app before, I also find the operation quite intuitive.

ROM Question

Hello to all.

Does a ROM control the ability to connect to data? I am on Sprint here in Compton Ca. 90221

I have terrible data connection here. It seems that I am either being throttled or my connection drops in and out at times. I have tried to upload a 10 second video over 3g to Face book and has not worked yet. Pictures are fine.

I can barely watch a yourtube video in my area.

Thank you all in advance and keep up the great work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
No a ROM does not control data or data speed. I am assuming the digits are your zip code with this link:

Sprint Bites!

I am in the same boat with Sprint in Glendale, AZ. I contacted Sprint through their support forum. I got the same answer I did at the store. "We are aware of the problem and are planning some upgrades in the next 90 days. This should help with the data speeds." Evidently the network maps are just not accurate. I so wish I wasn't subject to the ETF and could just walk away. I am considering contacting my state's attorney general office to see if there are more Sprint customers with the same issue. However, I am holding on for the 30 days to see if the promise is true.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Aosp roms most of them are ported and pieced together from 4.2 all TW roms right now are 4.1. The 4.2 roms where designed by Google to be multi user roms meaning that they can have several users using one device and each can log in with their own set up much like you can on computer. So they move all the root files into 0 folder. That why you see that happen, and yes it'd been talked about 2000 times or more.

Your error is that you should default store your media to the external SD card and not to internal storage.

Updating a ROM

OK. How is the best way to go about updating a ROM version. Can you get away with just wiping cache and dalvik cache? or do I need to factory data reset each time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Depends on a few things always read the OP to get the correct answer for that ROM. Like TPR everything was fine to dirty till ver 3.17 it was highly recommended to do a full wipe. If you are going from a CM based ROM to a TW or vise versa you should do a full wipe. You will always get the best answer in the OP of the ROM you are trying to flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] left_to_fate:
OK, thanks for the reply. I am currently following and flashing the CM10.2 ROM for android 4.3 I did not see anything in the OP for specific directions when flashing each new build. I first did a full wipe when I was coming from blazer ROM 2.4 to CM10.2, but i just wanted to make sure that i could just wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing each new nightly update to CM10.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
You usually don't have to clean anything with nightlies but if there is a big enough difference between .2 and .3 then you might what to do a clean then dirty the updates. Usually version changes in CM can be significant to warrant and full wipe. Like the MD4 update was a big enough change that most ROMS recommended to do a full wipe.
