ok ive dont a bit of reading around the xda threads and apparently this is very common with installing custom roms. one guy says it happens to him all the time when installing a custom rom, he just calls his phoen provider and they send him apn settings over the air. im still not sure why this is happening as i just checked and u are on telstra in australia also? this is strange. i went from stock DVALI6 telstra ROM to my custom DVALI6, then i tried a few others like ripper rom, kzn rom, but honestly i was bored, thought how hard can it really be to cook a rom, spend a few hours on android kitchen, cooked my first rom DVALI6, the XXALJ4 and now XXALJ7.. all through out, i have never lost my APNs but once yesterday when i installed ripper rom v2 to test something for him. had no data connection. restored from nandroid and all ok again and back onto my own LJ7. ill search around a bit more when im free and see if there is anyting i have missed

The only times I have had an issue with APN's is with the ICS leaks for the S2. You are better off not wiping if having APN issues cause from my experience that will delete your apn settings if there are issues there. There should be an apns-conf file in the system/etc folder which contains all the apn's. However if you do ever loose the APN's and you have root access you can download HiAPN from the market and it will put the apn's for your carrier into the phone and you will get data reception again, I use to use that and works very well and it's free but just needs root access
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
You know what's weird I recently ported my phone number to Telstra and funny thing is that when I booted my phone NO apn settings so I have a feeling it was a Telstra thing. My Vodafone always picked up auto and gave me settings and even always gave me an extra app SIM services But nothin Llike this with Telstra . And becCause its prepaid i just looked at the little booklet that came with the sim and it gave me apn settings this made me think that this may be a normal thing when putting a new SIM into a new phone and If I wipe data reset it may act like I am putting a new SIM inside a new phone so i am just thinking i wonder i might try that after. Once u make a nandroid and keep reverting back to it well this shouldn't make u loose it as it saves all your data. So yes this is my experience with Telstra pre paid now.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
OK, yeah at the moment i'm just putting them in manually, but it's a bit weird. I've been flashing ROMs on my i9300, SGS2, and HTC Desire for years and never had an APN issue, i've been on Telstra the whole time.

you say you usually just upgrade from one ROM to the next? that'd preserve any APNs you previously had. Would be intersted to see if you did a full wipe and still had your APNs..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
yea txr33 got me thinking, i know u are on telstra, but are u on prepaid? did u get ur phone from telstra? i myself and on a contact with telstra, got the phone from telstra aswell.. i wonder if any of these apn issues are people on prepaid who got their phone from another carrier or unbranded etc.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] txr33:
I am on contract with Telstra and got the phone from Telstra too. If you have an issue download HiAPN from the play store and it will fix the issue automatically I have used it both on Optus and Telstra network just fine, It works for all network providers to my knowledge.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
Nope never been on prepaid, always been on a business account. I'd be pretty surprised if this had anything to do with it though. All android phones have been from Telstra.

This is just a crappy work around though, not a proper solution. I'm technical enough to just fill in the APN details myself rather than have to download an entire app with a million APNs, but I'd rather the ROM work properly, so I'm trying to help troubleshoot
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
well yeh i dont think it has to do with prepaid aswell It may have been something I did myself on my nandroid which got rid of the apn, My users that are using my rom and have not came up with this problem and we are using the same firmware base i wonder what it could be. I wonder if telstra heavily relies on there own CSC for this setting . As they have there own model number for their phone I9305T I wonder hmmmm if any of this means anything

PS: i am not using the I9305T I using the I9305 but have a Telstra sim now I am testing telstra for awhile atleast untill vodafone get 4G early next yr Thats whats good about pre-paid i can jump around from network to network using my same number. I wonder if there is such a thing with a no lock in contract like a monthly plan which you can disconnect whenever you want. BYO phone offcourse.If not I just make my own plan using an automatic prepaid plan setting which recharges everymonth on auto........ I still dont understand why telstra has there own variant of the phone the I9305T .. confusionn
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
OK, i put them both in, but noticed no changes. I'm not 100% on how APNs work.. does the phone look at what network you're connected to, match it up to the APN(s) in a list and only import them into your APNs list? I had a look in the apns-conf.xml file (/system/etc/), and it seems to contain the Telstra APN details.

As i already had manually added the APN details.. I guess even if it did work i wouldn't see any difference.. ? i just don't know.

so, it seems that the system isn't importing the Telstra APN details for some reason?

I'll have a chat to baadnwz, see if he knows

ps that example you linked to isn't quite right - that guy got the 4G icon, but i don't get it. All I have is reception.

pps have you actually tried a full wipe before installing v3.0 of your ROM to see if your APN list is empty too?

thanks a lots,but how can to download it ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
i think u are spot on with the apns.conf.xml file. had a quick look through and it seems to contain apn settings.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
just click the download link Download Link L335K1.i9305.XXALJ7.3.0, this will take u to google docs and hit the download button.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
no i havent done a full wipe. i did a full wipe with ripper rom v2 and that lost my apn. i hate to full wipe if i can avoid it, i hate having to setup all my screens again..i havent ful wipe since coming from stock rom.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
yeah, as i said the apns-conf.xml file already has the telstra settings in them, so the issue now appears to be that your ROM isn't loading them from that file for some reason.

OK, then I guess this is a "known issue" for your ROM. I wasn't suggesting that you must do it, but you could always take a nandroid backup first and test it.. (i would have expected as a ROM chef you'd be fairly familiar with this process ;) )

another request: that the next release you allow for the stock theme (like you used to). The motomoto one is OK i guess, but too intrusive for my taste. I flashed the AndroidGX theme on top, but motomoto still intrudes on many things i would rather it didn't. Could you maybe make it an aroma option?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
like i stated previously, it happens on some custom roms, not just this rom.. did u read the link before? it also has happened in pandoriam.. like i said, this is not just rom or device specific, do a search for lost apn custom rom, u will see. and also i stated, i have only had android for 3 months, i was iphone dev before.. aroma theme otpion will be coming as soon as i sort out efs backup properly

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
it only happend with mine when i inserted my brand new sim whilst the rom was already installed .. but no users have reported it happening on mine. Although you are right it is not just your rom it happens randomly with some users on some roms

how can I download it

sorry ,I dont know how to download it,could anyone help me to take that easylink to download l335k1s rom? thanks a lot :confused:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
I'm not sure why you keep telling me that this bug is happening on other ROMs, i never asked that? unless you think i'm attacking your ROM as opposed to others, in which case you have me wrong. All i'm trying to do here is help you with a bug in your ROM. If you're OK with your ROM having this bug because "other ROMs have it", then i guess that's your perogative, but it'd be a nice touch if you let people know in the OP.

do you mean this link? yes i did, did you read my response? that link doesn't describe the issue i'm having. if that guy got a 4G icon he must have had an APN set but misconfigured. I'm not getting any APNs.

OK sorry it looks like you're getting a bit defensive. I'm not here to attack you, honestly i'm just trynig to help you fix this bug. In the meantime i've been trying to contact an old ROM chef friend (he's cooked for the HTC desire, sensation, oneX, SGS3) to see if he knows how the mechanics behind this works. If I have any joy i'll be sure to let you know..

sounds good.

see above..

really? L335K1 gave you a direct link. If you can't work out how to click a link, probably custom ROMs aren't the best idea for you..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
its not the fact im getting defensive, its just the fact that this can happen to anyone, on any rom.. if this issue was purely happening just to my rom, then i would consider it a bug in my rom. but the fact it happens to others, means it is not specificaly an issue in the way i cooked the rom. and the fact that it doesnt happen to many others that use my rom tells me it might be something specific to ur setup. i agree this seems to be a bug in jb as a whole, and im sorry if i misquoted the issue happening in pandoriam, but i have read someone else report this issue in another i9305 rom thread, cant remember which one though.. also gave u a thanks for ur last comment, gave me a giggle

Wonderful ROM in progress here installs flawless straight from a stock image that has only been Rooted...in future ROM's could there be a few more fonts added to the main install..that's all I ask for

Thank You

Extra Fonts

350+ Flashable Fonts added to OP. Was going to add into the ROM but as there are so many it would be impossible to add them all so left them as a flashable zip. Credit goes to d_1000.

Enjoy

EDIT - i have only tested one and it worked for me, but pls make sure to make a nandroid backup first.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
OK, i have been flashing custom ROMs for over 2 years, 95% of the time I have been performing a factory reset beforehand, and I have never had this APN issue. So while i'm sure it does happen with other ROMs, i really don't think it's the norm. possibly the ROMs where this happens are badly cooked? Maybe there's a setting you have to enable, or an obscure file you must include.. This is what i'm pushing you to investigate :) I've flashed a bunch of ICS and JB ROMs on my i9300 and never had an APN issue, factory reset before all of those flashes, and the i9300 ROMs will be almost identical to the i9305. Anyways, I might try a few other ROMs and see the results.

SecLauncher2_Mixed_4x5_5x6_SCR_off.LJ7

Testing the SecLauncher2_Mixed_4x5_5x6_SCR_off.LJ4 and there are no issues yet. Had tried another modified TW but it just gave constant FCs. Will probably be adding this into the next update.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
i see where u are coming from. i myself had the i9300 and never had this issue either. but i did have this issue once with the i9305 when i flashed ripper rom v2 to do some testing with a full wipe. try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943099 and see if this happens again. im sure i didnt miss anything during the rom cooking as actually dsixda's kitchen is pretty straight forward. bare in mind my programming background is Obj-C, im sure i didnt stuff anyting up during the cook. and the fact that it seems only to happen to u at the moment tells me its not the cook. see how u go with ripper rom and also give pandoriam a try too. let me know the results. to be honest im flat out with other things at the moment working on efs backup scripts etc so i cant really test more when it is just affecting 1 person. but when i get some spare time, i will surely look into it and look around the forums for the same issue on other roms and possible fixes.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
let me fix that for you.. ;)

maybe i'm the only one doing a full wipe before installing your ROM.. who knows.

i'll try some others and let you know.

L335k1S Thanks so much for your working !

Coming from i9300 Wanam and no bugs so far for this rom.

Just wondering any plan on tweaks to improve battery life .?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
yea im waiting to see if siyah brings out a kernel for this rom. actually i did some testing on the weekend. for 1 day and 10 hours, just connected to wifi and it still had about 40% batter left from a full charge. then i went to my dads house, which is on the boundary for 4G, and the battery just drained insanely. down from about 30% to 15% in about 2 hours. :S i then turned off LTE auto mode and set to just WCDMA so only 3G, H and H+ would work. that stopped the insane battery drain. so my conclusion was that if on wifi, u will get great battery life, about 2 days from a full charge depending on usage. if u are in a decent LTE area, (my work is in the city and it gets great 4G reception), then it should be ok, not as good as wifi but still decent. if u are in an area that is bordering LTE and the phone keeps switching between 3G and 4G and searching, then battery life is terrible.

my graph in the battery app was linear till i went to my dads house, then it was like a cliff, straight down, and this was wtih no usage.. in settings/battery if the Mobile Network signal stays green (either in good 4G area, or 3G area, not in between the 2 and searching), i get good battery life. when the Mobile Network signal displays yellow as it had bad signal at that time, then the graph follows and dips dramatically.

Thanks L335K1

Loving the ROM, but still finding battery life a problem, even when the phone is supposedly asleep, and regardless of whether I'm in a 3G or 4G area. Any ideas how to address this?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] playwithonehand:
Thanks for the reply L33k1, no wonder my battery life is terrible at night because my home always have 1 to 2 bars only and never green for signal strength and also near the border of 4g signal. I read about if signal constant switch from 3g to 4g vice versa it will drain the battery like crazy.

May i ask how can i change the theme? kind of miss the stock them ;)

Cheers

learn how to use betterbatterystats (you can get a free version from the forums somewhere, or you can buy it from the playstore (well worth it!))

I had no battery issues with this ROM, apart from the usual 4G stuff, but if you disable 4G then it's not too bad.

you can't change the theme as the chef has included one with the base ROM. You'll have to wait for the next version of the ROM where the theme will hopefully be an aroma option, and you won't be forced into using Motomoto.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
yes this is correct. to investigate battery issues u need better battery stats, found HERE. have a read but basically u are looking to see what is stopping the phone from deep sleep, otherwise known as partial wakelocks. between the stock battery app, and better battery stats u should be able to troubleshoot battery issues.

working on the aroma installer now with optional themes for 3.1.

if its a sammy based i9300 theme, it should work.. almost all themes from i9300 SHOULD work on the i9305.. the differences between the 2 devices is minimal, and the differences are not in the themeing.i have only tested motomoto and kalagas's themes and they work fine. just remember to do a nandroid backup first, then if u have any issues, just do a restore. probably wipe dalvik/cache to would be a good idea.

Ya i have wifi at home and always switch off phone data and only use wifi at home but my battery drain is mostly at work where i use alot of 3g/H+ and bit of 4g. I am kind of bad luck with Optus coverage where both my home and work is at the edge of coverage especially at home where i only get 1/2 bar.

Can you please advice how you manage to include Chinese TW Input? I really want to put this for my gf's SGS3 and shes complaining how crappy s3 is lol due Chinese TW Input doesn't come default.

Questions:

1. Does flashing this ROM overwrite my existing modem? I am currently stock Telstra.

2. Are you planning on adding Smart Rotation or do I need to go to the Ripper ROM for this?

3. I am a Telstra Postpaid user. Is there a compelling reason to use this ROM over the Ripper?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] L335K1:
1. Does flashing this ROM overwrite my existing modem? I am currently stock Telstra. currently yes it will, this is getting removed for 3.1 so users will keep their current modem.

2. Are you planning on adding Smart Rotation or do I need to go to the Ripper ROM for this? yes smart rotation is also coming in 3.1

3. I am a Telstra Postpaid user. Is there a compelling reason to use this ROM over the Ripper? personal preference really. whilst 90% of mods used in custom ROMs are the same, there are some little differences in the ROMs.

all credit for this goes to Kazuni.

ok u need 2 flashable zips (should be one, but kazuni missed the library)

1 - Samsung Chinese IME and fonts i9305

2 - Library

now make sure u make a nandroid backup as these are for the i9305. I have not tested in i9300. when u get the files, just copy the /system/lib folder into the Samsung Chinese IME and fonts folder, keeping the same structure. i would be surprised if this didnt work on the i9300. let us konw how u go. once again, this has not been tested on i9300 as far as i know.. BACKUP FIRST

PS u dont need to turn off data when u are on wifi to save battery. i never do and it never is an issue. ur issue will be relating to ur work..

ROM is the firmware that ur phone runs on, its operating system. THEME is just changing of the icons to make it look prettier. u dont need my ROM to install any theme. just do lots of reading, custom roms can cause u trouble IF u dont know what u are doing.. :D
