1. Make all suggestions you want here itself. But be sure not to ask for stupid touchwiz features. If you have no idea what i am talking about, you better read up a little.

2. To users getting force closes, battery problems etc, make sure you have done a full wipe before flashing the ROM. If the issue still persists, please pull up a logcat or a screen from something like Better Battery Stats. ; or ask someone else to do it for you. NO LOGCAT = NO SUPPORT FROM MY SIDE.

3. The weird visual bugs you see in transitions have been reported in other builds as well. Somebody posted a good soln for it in one of the other s3 threads. Have a look at it.

4. Gapps is a pretty much bare-essentials package. Find anything missing? Look it up the Play Store.

5. Use the search feature. There is a reason its there.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Thanks man... you have any idea what page out of the 126 on the old thread that would be on? Because the search feature on the app doesn't work real well.

Nevermind found it elsewhere. Here you go guys it worked for me.

Found it on Rootz.

This is directly quoted from his post on rootz:

Takes like 5 seconds to fix screen flicker. Use an app that allows u to edit your build.prop like Rom Toolbox.

Find the line that says:

debug.composition.type=dyn

And change it to

debug.composition.type=gpu

Done

There's an .apk already floating around of the camera app from the newest version of Jellybean. I installed it and its working OK with GS3 Liquid Smooth RC7. A few crashes on certain features, but mostly just works.

Would love to see that .apk added to Liquid evemtually!

While ktoonz isnt bad, Ive just used lean kernel more than anything else and have gotten used to it.

They are both really great and im sure ill be switching back soon. Just wanna see how LK 1.7 works with RC7.

On a side note, not sure if this has anything to do with this rom, but playing NFS Most Wanted is really bad. I get a black game screen and cannot see anything but the HUD. Anyone else having app or game issues like this?

Safe Mode from RC5 - Trying to go to RC7

Ran into a possible major problem last night. I was running RC5 when my morning alarm went off. I couldn't turn the screen on so I battery pulled. Now I'm in Safe Mode hell. I tried to flash RC7 but got an Error 7 message. I'm redownloading RC7 and will attempt to reflash but I'm curious about a couple of things.

In TWRP, when I flash a ROM, I do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik. I'm assuming this is the proper order of operation. If I were to Wipe System, could I still just flash a ROM, or do I need to ODIN to stock and then start the Reset/Cache/Dalvik process for ROM flashing?

If I can't escape safe mode, is the only option to ODIN?

I attempted to restore a nandroid (Beans v9) but still had Safe Mode enabled. Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hurricane350:
Nope, broken here too...Sucks, this was the only thing I wanted fixed and was so happy to see it in the notes but alas still broken
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kirkenjerk:
I had an issue like yours and the only thing I could do to truly fix it was to ODIN back to stock and start fresh. I didn't spend too much time looking for a hot fix so there may still be a few options available to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
I'm sure it has been addressed somewhere else, but can't find it.

Is it a well-known issue of aosp roms or is there a fix for this?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
Have you tried flashing a recovery again, and then doing a wipe followed by flashing a rom of choice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teamhurtado:
I went ahead and redownloaded RC7. Did a Factory Reset / System Wipe / Cache / Dalvik in that order. The ROM installed perfectly. However, I'm still in Safe Mode. Now I'm confused. Thoughts? I'm thinking ODIN at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
Did you try wiping the internal storage? It sounds like you have a troubled app that's causing it to go into safe mode.

Check out this page for more information.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810421

Edit- don't forget to get any pictures that you have on the internal storage first, otherwise you're going to lose them. That's what it sounds like to me, because it's the only part that you didn't wipe that's still used by the OS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KINGDROID25:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
I believe on the first boot you have high media because of it scanning for media files since this is not wiped when you flash...I could be wring but this is my belief. I have found that doing just that, letting it sit is the best thing and it corrects it self never had it not and usually doesn't take all that long to return to a normal level

Guys, I've got a new sgs3 sitting under the tree that I will be rooting asap. Does the initial firmware make a difference on how to root (ICS vs JB)? Should I prevent any updates til I get a chance to root ? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidian1441:
There are root methods for both but I recommend updating to JB then rooting. Its better in my opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Thx, droidian.

I'm coming from an Galaxy Nexus which was rooted and is currently running Jelly Belly 4.2.1. I'm anxious to use my shiny new toy but I'd like to get it rooted and running another ROM as quick as I can. I rooted using Wugfresh which was fairly automated. Is there an equivalently easy (I mean...automated) method with the GS3?

Also, outside of LiquidSmooth (which I've never used), I'm also considering Cyanogenmod 10.1 but it doesn't look like there are as many 4.2.1 ROMs out there for the GS3 as there are for the GNex. I'd like to go 4.2.1 but I'd prefer a stable 4.1 ROM and good battery life to a 'not-ready-for-primetime" 4.2. Can you point me to solid ROMs to compare?

I know it's alot to ask, but I'm having to sneak to my computer for short intervals, etc to eek out informaiton because I'm at a family event LOL. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidian1441:
To answer your rooting question.. eh, no. Sorta.

The JB root method requires you to flash some files and the recovery through Odin, then flashing the root and unlocked bootloader through recovery after that. Its a 5-10 minute process, and its pretty easy as long as you follow the instructions.

As far as JB roms go if you want 4.2 I recommend Cyanogenmod 10.1. The nightlies built on 12/24 and after have working data where all the ones before didn't. If you want 4.1 there always is Cyanogenmod 10 or Paranoid Android.

Or there is always stock, which if you want better battery life, is where you might wanna be. I'm on CleanROM 5.5.1 (Stock rom) and get pretty good battery life. I make it through the day with it.

Plus the S3 for us has just gotten 4.2 as we started to have buggy as hell builds that everyone wanted to stay away from. But now they are at least stable enough for a daily driver. There are plenty of choices lol.

Besides that, what color sgs3 did you get? Just curious. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ckelly33:
Black. :good:

I may take your advice and move back toward 4.1 just for stability sake. I went through the buggy stage with 4.2.1 and never thought it offered that much in return. I'm sure I can add in those 4.2 things that I did like (the keyboard, maybe the camera), right?

The 4.1 ROMs/Cyanogenmod battery life is good ? What version of android is CleanROM?

You mentioned the JB root method....what about the ICS root method? I read about a process called 'Autoroot? I figured by the title that it sounded like Wugfresh? Heck, maybe I read the wrong thing entirely....I've been like James Bond sneaking off occasionally. Maybe I'm paranoid but I think my adversary (CODENAME: WIFE) is onto me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amaze209:
The 4.1 ROMs are decent with battery life. The battery life is still less than a touchwiz ROM. If you are all about battery and still maintaining some performance then touchwiz ROMs like cleanrom, jellywiz, etc.

For rooting the s3 there is a program made by a xda member that is essentially a "one click" root for the s3. Just look in the s3 android development section. Remember too that the s3 has to have an unlocked boot loader which you can do with a free program off the play store called ez unlock .

I am using it right now. Seems fine not much different than D.

Question: I understand this is beta but any plans for navbar and center clock? Or lock screen weather? Seems like a lot is missing out of the ROM control that is in 4.1. Just wondering if there are any plans to add these in.

Edit: I know the nav bar can be added in by adding it to the build.prop but can I also decrease the size? I usually use a smaller DPI for the nav bar when i was running eclipse.

Not sure how to decrease the size of the navbar itself but if you change the LCD Density to 240 the navbar won't take up that much space and you will get more items on the screen so it won't feel like you are losing much screen real estate.

Uhh, modifying kernel settings always risks the chance of unstable boot loops...did you set your settings/OC to initialize on boot per chance? You also should know that this is very normal and instead of reflashing the ROM, you can reflash the kernel and it should boot ;) Merry Xmas everyone!

Trying to follow the instructions in one of the 'How to Root' threads. I'm on 4.0.4 stock. I downloaded the Samsung drivers, put in Debugging mode, check to allow for unknown sources, and connect my phone via the Samsung USB. It recognizes my phone, installs drivers but the last one fails and gives the following error: "SAMSUNG_android_sch-i535 device driver software was not successfully installed"

I reinstalled the drivers from p1 of the Root thread but nothing helps. I get the same results. Any help on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
Nope it doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odub303:
Yes, it does. Did you flash a custom kernel by any chance? Just because something doesn't work for you does NOT mean it's broken in the ROM. There are infinite variations of possible issues caused by the user.

As far as GPS goes. I have no trouble with it. I'm attaching some screens so you can see for yourself. Keep in mind this was done in my office and although I do have a window, the building is old with metal siding and roof. Here are the screens.

list of issues

ugh..i just realized I was posting in the Old liquid beta 1 thread.

-The latest version of Lotus Traveler 8.5.3 doesn't work with this rom. Won't install.

Whatever is stopping it from working might stop other apps from installing also.

worked fine on the liquid 4.1.2 rom...and works fine on my nexus 7. 4.2.1 (stock)

-The built in photo Gallery seems to have some big issues. Quick pic works fine...but the built in Gallery isn't able to view downloaded pictures from email or mms that i've tried so far. They show up as black blank videos...that won't play (when in fact its just an ordinary jpg)

-When on Auto for brightness....the screen will quite often change brightness and at times when the ambient light hasn't changed at all.

-Google Services tends to run more in the background than previously. (taking up more battery than it used to)

I'm on the newest 1e build.

It's not the roads I'm worried about. It's the side streets. Once you go out of town to unfamiliar streets; you tend to get lost. With a reliable working gps device you have better assurance that you will get there.

Theres is also a problem with the speaker volume in Beta1e. Volume is a little low. Other than that; still a good rom.

I may be off here; maybe this Rom was made with out GPS lock to conserve battery. If it was; it's not a good enough reason to stop using this Rom. Just flash another Rom with a working GPS to get you where you're going.

Thought I would share my Gps issue with liquid smooth beta 1e and the d2vzw..

I was using cm10 and Gps was fine.

Switched to liquidsmooth beta 1, then c, d and then e. Somewhere Gps broke. Would find any satellites. Tried using maps and a couple of other apps.

I tried everything:

- Gps patch listed somewhere in this forum

- used the Gps test app in play store ( Excellent at showing you the satellites!)

- Clean wipe (data, sdcard, system...) and put liquid 1e back on

- Clean wipe and put ANOTHER rom on, dare I say!

Nothing fixed it.

Here's what did it..

I installed cleanrom which seems to be a nandroid of an sg3 jb variant leak. It worked on that rom! It's really a slick procedure, nice ro but I like clean aosp roms.

Rebooted, clean wipe (see above) and put liquid smooth beta 1e on, and used Gps test and it locks perfectly! Gps test now sees about 8 satellites, and maps works great.

I'm sure if I followed some of the Gps fix procedures out there using adb commands I would have probably solved the issue too, but flashing roms seemed easier to me.
