Man did y'all help me with this post. I've been noobie-flashaholic crazy and I've been running TW rooted stock, Wicked Sensations, Black Bean and now MOAR (the best btw) and had a gazillion "O" folders and have gone from 875mb to over 8gb int. storage after moving/deleting redundant files. I still have one "O" folder with my Morphology (for MOAR aroma installer) backups/restore folders in it. I have r/w enabled in ES File Explorer but I can't delete that last "O" folder. Is that a partition? When I do a nandroid it says "backing up 3 partitions." Please teach me.

Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I have notice the following in the People's ROM 3.17. When you go to settings> Lock screen> Lock screen options> turn on Weather. You will get "Unable to display weather data" on the lock screen. I you select the Weather to put your location, you will get that "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." and the Ok.

I can not post this on the developer, because I am a Noob, and have no right.

Please let me know if this need to be posted on a different thread.

I'm coming from htc evo which I've flased endless roms and mods on but the gs3 has me feeling noobish..I've had it less than 2 days (rooted it 10 minutes out the box) but here's my noob question. ...

Can a rom be flashed from internal memory? Also is the latest twrp reliable?

Now I know this has been discussed somewhere but I was hopeful that someone would be so kind lol... thanks

That's not true you do not have to unroot anything to change the number. Just flash the rom i linked you to. If you want the stock unrooted i will link it for you also.

One more thing, I see that rom is for 4.1.2, but the android version I have on the phone currently is 4.2.2. Does that matter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
These phones do not have 4.2.2, those CM build are built from leaks, ports and cm coding. There is no true 4.2.2 for the Sprint Galaxy S3. 4.1.2 is the latest and most up to date. It doesn't matter make sure you wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do a factory reset before you flash.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
Version shouldn't matter and that is the latest official release for this phone. 4.2.2 is not official it is a leak.

This will return you to total stock with counter reset.

APT-X for CyanogenMod 10

I've been playing around w/ flashing, rooting etc. over the past few months, but still fit the definition of noob. So I thought I'd start by posting here. :)

I settled on Cyanogen and am running CM10.1.2 stable and am having the "low volume" problem some other folks have written about, but mine only seems to affect Bluetooth and only when connected to the HS3000 APT-X-enabled receiver in my car. When Bluetooth streaming to, say, my laptop, the volume is fine. So I think it's an APT-X thing.

There are just a few (and fairly old) threads about APT-X support in CM10. This one seems the most relevant:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-x-bluetooth/page__hl__+apt#8208x#entry365298

I asks the question, but never really answers: "Is APT-X already baked into CM10 and, if so, how do I access it? If not, is there a way to get the codec onto a Sprint S3 running CM10 so we can still enjoy the great sound?"

Any insight, thoughts, or steerage is much appreciated.

UPDATE: Nevermind - Somehow my HS3000 got reset to factory defaults and the volume on the device itself was reset very low. DOH!! Once I turned the volume back up, it seems to sound fine again. It sure seems like it is using the APT-X codec because the sound is quite good. But I'm not really an audiophile and also am not sure how ot bypass APT-X as an experiment to see if there's any difference.

Hi! This is a super noob-y question... Does my phone have to be rooted to use a one click? Or can I use a one click to root it?

I have an s2 and am upgrading to the virgin s3 this week. I rooted my s2 and used one clicks to upgrade to jb after that but wasn't really sure if I could start out with just the one clicks.

Thanks!

not quite noob but good question

I am unable to directly nandroid to my external SD card as I get the error: Can't Mount Backup Path and it has been suggested that a full wipe would fix the problem. I have a complete backup which I have moved to the SD card via root explorer. Can I wipe everything then reinstall the backup if I move it back to the sd card (via root explorer)? I guess the question is: if I wipe my phone, will the backup remain in the internal sd card? If not, would I need to re-root via Odin, reinstall CWM and then restore my backup after moving it to internal sd from the external? If it is that much of a pain, I may not bother but I cannot install from the external sd either.

That being said, I am still running stock rooted. Is there a list of the most stable roms out there? When I had my OG GSI, nothing was completely stable...

Can't view files when connected to computer/Get rid of Rom

Hi,

Recently, when ever I connect my Sprint Samsung GS3 to my computer with USB, I can't see the files "Phone" and "Card" anymore! I have re-installed the drivers from Samsung website, downloaded a Microsoft MTP porting kit, rebooted both my phone and computer, tried to plug the USB cable into different ports, I am not using a different cable (it worked before), and swapping between PTP and MTP also did not fix the problem. *Maybe the most important thing (as i am VERY new and unexperianced) i just installed (maybe incorrectly) CARBON-JB-v1.7 off GooManager, and somewhat randomly wiped data using CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.

My reasons for wanting to access my "Phone" file is to place a stock rom zip in there and attempt to get rid of Carbon and have the rooted stock of my phone back. I was going to use

1. From the home menu, select "wipe cache partition" and confirm by selecting yes.

2. Select advanced menu.

3. Select wipe dalvik cache and then confirm by selecting yes.

4. Return to the home menu

5. Select "install zip from sdcard"

6. Select "choose zip from sd card" or "choose zip from external sdcard".

7. Select the file you want to flash and select yes to confirm. (if you don't see it, swipe the screen to scroll up and down)

8. After it completes, go back to the home menu and select "reboot system now".

to do so.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this,

Zanger5398
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Step 4 should be do factory reset. If not your not wiping anything. Then proceed how you wanted to proceed. Also you can download the stock rom to your computer take your SD card out of the phone put in computer transfer tovsd card then put it back in phone. Voila new rom zip ready to flash on phone.

Anyone know of a stock rooted md4 ROM? I used freezas and I keep getting reboots . I'm not sure if its the optimized kernel or the ROM itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Did you do a clean install? MD4 is very touchy if you do not do a clean install. But there's thousands of people using it with no issues so it's neither rom nor kernel. It has to be something in your set up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] parmend:
Yes I did a clean install. I no longer have this phone , I installed it for a friend . I got a reboot while installing apps . so I installed ktnooz kernel and hopefully that did it . do you know of there is a stock md4 kernel , the one on freezas ROM page link don't work .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes the md4 optimized i just tested it. When you say yes you did clean install would you mind sharing as to what you consider clean install. Not trying to say you don't know what your doing just so many people have a somewhat mis conception of what a clean install is, like the poster prior to your question here.

I need help

I had been running WS with eredicate theme for a while and decided to flash MOAR. it was working fine and i was messing with the themeing and accidentally flashed the md4 return to stock with count reset (by billard412). This worked except when done, it left me in twrp recovery and i restored a moar backup and rebooted. This left me with an unrooted moar rom. I got home from work an rerooted and restored the moar backup. everything was working fine. I was then messing with accessibilty features and enabled liteflow lite and talk back. the phone then kept rebooting. I then decided to restore the WS rom back up because i really like it. Here is were the issue starts

In recovery when i try to restore it states E: error opening '/data/lost+found'

any time I try to wipe cache, dalvik, or do a factory reset. I always states that the restore failed.

I can flash the MOAR rom but it is a dirty flash and every thing keeps force closing and the phone freezes.

there is a file on the internal drive that is "Xposed-disabler-CWM.zip" that was not there until i flashed the MOAR rom. Should I flash this?

How do I fix?

Thanks for any help!

Does RFID require NFC hardware (inductive antenna coil/circuitry), or does the device support RFID out of the box?

Hello guys,

I finally got the nerve up to flash a new ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 that is flashed to Boost Mobile! It literally took me weeks of pondering it before I made the jump! I flashed the Wicked Sensations 4.xx, and everything seems to have worked fine, except now I can't send pictures in text messages anymore! I checked the mmsc url, which was blank, so I put in the proper address (which won't let me post here because I'm new) and thought for sure that would solve my problem! Nope.... didn't work! I checked the mmsc proxy, and it was blank, so I put in "68.28.31.7" (copied from my daughters phone....same thing....S3 flashed to Boost), and I put "80" in the mmsc proxy port (also copied from my daughters phone). Nothing worked so far. I also noticed that at the top of the screen where it used to say "3G".....it now says "1x"! Could that be the problem? Someone please help! I am thoroughly confused, and I need to be able to send pictures in text messages once again! Thanks for any help you can offer!

This is exactly what you need: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1904099

Just make sure to read the instructions carefully. Download the correct file for you Sprint phone, either 16 gb or 32 gb. Copy the file to your phone, boot into custom recovery and flash the file. You will be returned to out of the box state.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I downloaded both files for the 16GB Galaxy SIII but how do I know which is the right one to use? I don't want to use the wrong one and screw up my phone. I don't understand any of the instructions on the link. The "instructions" don't seem like instructions.

"This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. 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." -- this is from the link.

Do I use the new MD4 or the old MD1? How am I supposed to use it? Is the recovery stock too?
