I've had zero issues with this rom. 4G works just fine. I did a wipe and clean install and reinstalled apps from Play Store fresh. Took a little extra time but I think you get better results and less issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
Same here, I'm a heavy users and have had no issues at all.

Actually I forgot to mention 1 issue, Evernote fails to sync. Is there a fix or workaround? I use it a lot on a daily basis.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bbgt2:
I dont have any issues with Evernote syncing, did you restore from a TIBU backup or start clean after you flashed this ROM, try uninstalling it and reinstalling app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] psyman42:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vw671:
My only real issue with this rom is that my app defaults don't stick (*opening a file from email or file manager). Anyone have a fix for this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
I did a clean install of both the ROM and Evernote =(, Just keeps saying "Last Sync Failed at *time*" =(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bbgt2:
Weird. Did u ask evermore support what might be the problem. I can't think of anything in the rom causing the sync error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chocodough:
So far the 4th version posted here works really good after my own modifications. I debloated a ton of stuff, redid the startup animation from a file someone uploaded earlier in the thread. (BTW the shutdown animation is still Sprint from that DeSprinter file, the fix only does startup, not shutdown).

On thing that started today though which for the life of me I can't figure out what's causing it, is that when I check what's running under application manager, "Media" all the sudden jumped really high. It's been around 22% most of the day and at the moment I think it's at 13%. I didn't install anything new today and I even restarted the phone, all I did today was uninstall a NBC news app and the USA today app. It's just boggling me what caused the media to jump so high. At first I though it might be dropbox, but I logged out and even cleared data from the app, but that didn't do anything.

Anyone have a clue?

And on a side note. Avoid the NBC News and USA Today apps. Although I like both apps and have been using them for awhile, I recently noticed that their PushService for both apps always stays running even though I have News Alerts turned OFF on both apps. I emailed both developers about it. Ironically a dev for the NBC news app replied back saying it was intentional and their tests show that the drain on battery is very small. I replied back that any drain, no matter how small is too much. If I am not using the push services the app should not still be taking up resources. So I uninstalled both apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
I haven't yet, I suppose i'll have to go post on their forum.

Not sure if this is ROM related but on stock ICS ROM I was able to add an HSPA+ APN to disable LTE when I didn't need it. When I do it now I get no network data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colin.hristow:
Has anyone experienced horrible battery drain?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] austinsnyc:
Yes battery issues are the main reason "most" have not made the switch from ICS myself included. I can get over 27 hours overclocked @ 2.1 and no undervolting. JELLYBEAN just can't touch that, sometimes the newest isn't the best
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
no big battery issues with this rom if you disable the google now location services (traffic and other location aware items)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chocodough:
Well after properly de-bloating, the ROM is a really good one. I much prefer it over all the custom ROMs in here.

But I am not sure what exactly is causing the battery drain a lot of people, including myself are having. Personally I think it is Jellybean itself. There is no reason either Android OS or Android System should be taking up so much resources. Unfortunately I don't have an android phone that came stock with JB to compare. But I also have an Atrix HD with ICS on it and both Android OS and System are below 5% each, sometimes at 3%, so I am leaning on more towards it being a JB issue.

Now by some comparison, I also have a Nexus 7 tab, and it's been on for a few hours this evening with little use. Mainly looking at Ducky pictures with my daughter. :) But Android OS is at 14% and Android System isn't even on the list.

I de-bloated a ton of stuff from this ROM. I worked on it for hours and re-flashed a few times before I was satisfied with it. Overall it's a great ROM.

The whole process was a learning experience for me, but I found out of ridiculously easy it is to work on a ROM once you have the rooted ZIP like from the OP.

For other noobs to ROM editing like myself who are curious. Basically:

1) Download and install 7-Zip on your computer.

2) Right click on file from the OP and select 7-Zip and then open archive.

3) Navigate to into SYSTEM and then APP.

4) Just delete any APK file that you do not want in there when you flash.

It's just that simple. DON'T unzip the file and make changes and rezip it, you can just manipulate the archive from within 7-Zip. To add a file, just drag and drop from Windows Explorer to the archive. It will ask if you want to add it to the current folder you are viewing in the archive.

Just make sure you know what you are deleting. :) Most things are pretty obvious.

Also for people who are having issues using Swiftkey resetting back to the default Samsung Keyboard after restarting the phone. What I did was delete the Samsung keyboard from the archive. (it's terrible anyway) and replaced it with the AOSP keyboard APK. You can find the AOSP keyboard around, but what I did was just download an AOSP ROM from here in the Original Development section and use the file "LatinIME.apk" file, which is the AOSP keyboard and put that in my archive.

Now Swiftkey no longer resets back to the Samsung keyboard after restarting the phone.

I'm not one of the experts on here by any means, but if anyone has questions about what I explained above, I'll try my best to help.

Again thanks to the OP for this great ROM port.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElKompaAndres:

Where you able to get rid of Sprint Hotspot? If so how? I cannot seem to find the .apk under Titanium backup to remove which makes me guess sits a system app that's tied into other apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tosh1:
Just flashed this rom.... so far so good. Only thing driving me crazy is no sd card access. All my music and pictures were on my sd card. .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmacdonald19:
That's odd, my SD card is working fine. I have a 64 GB microSDXC. But it could be the format. I think the OP states that exFAT isn't working currently.

I copied all the contents of my card onto my computer, then reformatted the SD card as standard FAT, and then copied everything back. It's all working fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tosh1:
Thanks jc.. maybe that's it. ..can't live without my 64gb card.

Evernote works fine for me with no problems
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
I figured out how to resolve the issue. You have to do a Web login and empty your recycle bin. After I did that, I had no syncing issue... (Found the answer after searching through forums via Google's search engine)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ibanezbass:
My battery life isn't too bad at all. I leave power saver on and have disabled a bunch of useless apps. Almost 6 hours on at 62% battery with about an hour of screen time. Two hours of screen time will get me through the work day with no problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] austinsnyc:
6 hours at 62% I'm sorry to say is not good with this phone. Until we get a ATT release i think battery is going to suck. I went back to ICS and am stunned at battery life, let's see right now I'm at 18 hours and 39%with tons of use. I would be dead if I was running a stock JB rom, maybe with Tasks AOKP I can pull OK battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
I'm at 13 hours 23% right now. Was using it in class for some funny videos and surfing in boring lectures.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chocodough:
No I didn't delete the Spring Hot Spot app. I wasn't sure which APK file it was, but it didn't bother me that much to keep investigating it.

Ironically on another note, I've been watching my battery usage off an on all day, and Android OS has been hovering around 24% all day. That is more than what my Screen is using!

I wish I could figure out what is doing that. Out of all the devs on here that do incredible work with these ROMs, I am very surprised no one has figured out why Android OS and sometimes Android System are running so high. They should both be under 5% each.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hai Karate:
The Sprint hotspot seems to be incorporated into the SecSettings.apk file, which provides a number of other services. The easiest thing to do is to just hide the icon in the launcher.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranova:
Jellybean, in general, doesnt have as good as battery life as ICS. Main culprit is Google now, if you turn it on, all the location aware services will suck down your battery. Turn all of them off (as well in location settings in google maps) and youll be ok
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chocodough:
That's exactly what I did. I hid the icon with Apex Launcher.

I just wish someone would leak an AT&T Beta for JB. From all indications, they have gone through 3 build already.

We've had Sprint leaks up until they released an official release, we had Tmobile leaks, and now we have a Verizon leak. So someone needs to get their hands on an AT&T build and let people who really want to play it have the chance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acme anvil:
Deal breaker for me is that the dialer doesn't work correctly when I am trying to retrieve my office voicemail messages. Once I am in the voicemail system, pressing a number to access a particular function does not work. It registers the key press on the screen but does not complete the command (e.g. pressing 2 to access new messages).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diffstyle:
I just tried that and it worked fine for me... Is it a 50/50 on installing that it might work or might not?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hai Karate:
Yeah, that's odd... I've used this a fair bit in the last few days and it worked fine. Perhaps clearing data on the Phone app from the Application Manager might help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tosh1:
Man after two days on this ROM, I have to say I am very impressed!!! Not one FC yet and everything seems to work fine. The battery isn't as good, but thats because I have google now always on!!! I love how smooth this rom is.

As of right now with Google NOW ON, WIFI ON all day and with a good amount of surfing and music videos on my commute home.

I am at 10% with 14h 17m on battery.

I can't complain based on how smoooooth this rom is!!! I am just going to get Mophie for my S3 when it comes out in black by end of this month for when I travel and really need battery!! The white Mophie case for our phones is already out for those that want some major battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chocodough:
Hey thanks for the De-Sprinter file. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately that only does the startup sound and animation. It still shows the Sprint shutdown sequence.

It appears that the Bootup animation is from a non branded GS3. Do have the Non branded shutdown.qmg file also?

I'm rebuilding my custom version of this ROM and could sure use it. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hai Karate:
Damn! The revised version I did worked on my phone.

Here's the stock shutdown animation you're looking for.

I do my own personal modifications to this ROM. The one posted in the OP is really good, but I deleted a bunch of the crap in there. I got rid of all the stuff I don't use or plan on using.

Since I've learned how to edit these ROMs, it's pretty easy to play around with this stuff. And addicting, I find I am always trying to tweak it now. hehe

@scorpion667 & @McAwesome

Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

But I am not one of the professionals on here and am strictly an amateur. All I basically did was use the file in the OP and just deleted a bunch of APK files and changed the Bootup and Shutdown animations with the help of Thundersnuz.

I made a post a few pages back on how I did it. It's pretty easy.

Keep getting "ktweaker has stopped" message on boot. And if I try to open ktweaker, home screens disappear. Did factory reset, cache, dalvik, and system.

Any ideas?

Edit: froze it with TiBu, no more error messages. Was it supposed to be included with the kernel or was this kernel just supposed to be stock-ish and don't mess with it?

There's a THANKS button around here somewhere! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graffixnyc:
Yeah you can remove the apk. It was left over from when ktoonsez did the kernel. I just forgot to remove it. My bad. lol

It's in system/app just use root explorer to remove the apk

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cdjaney:
Probably has nothing to do with your problem...but since you mentioned the google issue...i noticed that the google account i used to sign in to the phone was "UNCHECKED" on all sync options. Had to go to "Settings>Accounts>Google" and tick the checkboxes for the stuff I wanted to sync. Think this was already mentioned...but the signal bars themselves are GRAY. Very light gray if no signal....kind of a darker gray when getting signal (cell network and wifi).

not sure if anyone has noticed/had this issue, but it seems that my phone doesn't always receive calls. I had just tried calling my phone a couple of times, with a few minutes in between, and it seems that the call is trying to connect but doesn't. When trying to call my cell, it doesn't go directly to voicemail, but my phone doesn't ring either :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PhillyFlyer:
Sounds like you are having some serious issues here. Try a redownload and reinstall the rom after the complete wipe. This works wonderfully for me, no issues.

I would love to replace that sprint boot screen but hey, beggers cant be choosers.

Does this port/rom have the issue of the international calls, the other sprint ports would attempt to make international calls when you tried to return calls from the call log.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graffixnyc:
Not sure. I never call international. I know with the last sprint leak I released someone had issues with it but flashing the H1 modem fixed it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graffixnyc:
Nice. One of the coolest things was once I had a gig in Poughkeepsie ny and I was having Spector build me a custom bass. Well the shop was about an hour away from the venue. They told me someone from the shop was going to deliver my bass to me at the gig.. I almost dropped to the floor when I saw Stuart Spector himself walk through the stage door with my new Redwood burl bass in tow :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluedodge:
LOL, I don't call international either. With the other ports, if someone was to call and you miss the call, when you would go into the call logs to attempt to return the call, for some reason it would try to call international.

Here are a couple of CWM-flashable .zips.

Boot_Animation_DeSprinter.zip will install the original Samsung boot animation and remove the Sprint shutdown animation. This is a revised version that should actually delete the shutdown animation.

EPM.zip will install an Extended Power Menu with four options. This is based on the EPM from Drew Garen's Milestone 7 ROM.

Please let me know if you have any issues with these files.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
I have the international thing and am using the LH1 modem. I had it on a earlier Sprint leak as well with LH9.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graffixnyc:
Go search in my BlackJelly thread. There was a guy there that was having it. Maybe you can PM him and ask how he fixed it. It might have been the modem flash and something else he did. It was a while ago so I don't remember.

It's odd that I don't get it...Is there anyone else that it DOES'NT happen to?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graffixnyc:
Right now nothing :(

Sprint builds theirs into the framework not an apk like att and tmo and it's a pain to hack. The wifi tether apps wont work yet because they need to be updated for JB (I read this on the sprint boards as it seems to be a popular subject over there)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cdjaney:
Do you see a + sign in front of the phone numbers in your recent call log? I can call out of address book normally, but when it puts the + sign in front of numbers in the call log....which the phone sees as international country code. But, only happens in incoming. Calls I made that are in call log are normal....no + sign.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Micronads:
Put it into airplane mode for a few minutes, then back to normal. Should fix your 4g issues.

I had a missed call and I called it back from my call log and it worked. It was also a number not stored in my contacts. Ok I looked through my log and found a number with a + in front of it (my other ones didn't) It connected fine. But that number also wasn't in my contacts, Just tried one with the + sign that was stored in my contacts and it went through as well... :confused: :confused:
