I'm still running the rom but lately I've noticed that the phone just doesn't seem as zippy is it use to. And using the cool tool app I've noticed that the processor maxes out at 1134 megahertz. I never see it go above that. I am running the kernel that is included with the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bzow:
Are you using any apps that control CPU min and max? It seems like you're underclocking. You might want to check under Settings > My device > Power saving mode. If you have CPU power saving checked, that's what's doing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
Duh..... thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
If you don't uncheck an option about turning power save mode on when battery is low, it will come on today, but don't turn itself off after you charge the battery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
I left it on but uncheched the cpu

I will try that thanks eh! Hopefully I can figure this out.

Good news Wes...I have acquired two S3's lol. Girlfriend's aunt and uncle upgraded so I asked what they want for them. They gave me both of them. Headed home to root and flash Intergalactic 4.1. Feels good to have an S3 in my hand again. I love my Nexus 4, but I really missed my SD card support and extended battery. Glad to be back.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Very glad to have you back! If you get the chance to try the X, it's worth it too. ;) I hear the S3 is supposed to get KitKat soon, at least the Qualcomm variants. Hopefully it ends up being worth the upgrade.

Try the X? Not sure what that is actually.

I tried to make a backup in twrp but it says Failed. I had no problems before with making backups but now it says Failed everytime.

Should I try to reinstall twrp ? I used GooManager to originally install it.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Are you using the latest version? I think 2.7.0 is the one that works for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joey_xda:
Yes, I am using 2.7.0.0. I have successfully backed up before. It fails during System backup. I have tried internal and external SD card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I don't know what to tell you. Go to the twrp thread in development and ask there. And I say that simply because it works for me and we are using the same version. I will add that I did have compression enabled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joey_xda:
The only difference is I didn't use compression, will try that. I will also ask in the twrp thread.

Thanks

I always use compression, so no big deal to me. It turns a 3gb backup into a 2gb backup.

I'm back on this rom on both of my S3's and loving it. I am using 4.3 boot loaders on this one. Any way this is great and the reference to the best version of ktoonz. Thanx this Rox as a refined alternative to stock.

I was wondering I shouldn't even ask. Tethering is fixed so I won't risk my unlimited plan?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
That's correct! Just make sure you don't overdo it because the carriers will get you if they really want to regardless of fix or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woody1:
What do you mean when you say that tethering is "fixed"?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g_kinz:
high ram usage

On my stock ROM my ram usage would max out at 900 MB. This ROM eats up 1.03 gigs when all apps are closed. Any idea on how to drop ram usage
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
It means that restrictions are lifted on tethering for AT&T. They would normally prevent you from doing so.

That's pretty good. Remember that RAM works differently on Android than on a computer OS. Unused RAM is wasted RAM on Android. You don't have to worry. The OS uses quite a bit in general. Background apps will eat some up too but they cycle through the RAM very efficiently with the scripts I've added to the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g_kinz:
problem is my phone is sluggish!!! i dont even want to use my phone apps take fore ever to respond now. hell now i just call someone because it is a PITA to test them now keyboard is unresponsive. phone works great if under 800 mb of ram used. so i can clear memory and phone rocks great for about 5 mins then all the ram get eaten up by something and then it slows down. but it is a lovely rom i wish it worked better on my phone because i love stock roms. not a fan of the CM roms i really want just a debloaded no att junk stock rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I would recommend reflashing, wiping data and your internal sd as you do so. I've used this rom and had no trouble with the things you mentioned. It's possible that clean flash will clear it up. If it starts out ok and then gets bad, it may be something you've installed/modded after the flash causing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaketc:
Also, be sure to check that battery saver mode hasn't been activated on accident. That can really aggravate show responsiveness!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woody1:
You're mixing up two different issues with tethering. AT&T puts software on their phones control whether or not you can turn on tethering. The fix removes that.

But that does nothing to protect you from AT&T monitoring your tethering. They can and will detect that you're tethering ingress you take other steps to hide it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
AT&T also inserts clever lines of code in androidpolicy.jar which I have removed in my ROM. The tethering apk is not the only thing that controls tethering. They're sneaky devils.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woody1:
What's in androidpolicy.jar regarding tethering?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
I meant framework-res.apk. It's been awhile since I did work with this device. I changed arrays.xml.

Original code:

<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app"> <item>com.sec.tetheringprovision</item> <item>com.sec.tetheringprovision.TetheringProvisionActivity</item> </string-array>

Modified code:

<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" /> <item>com.sec.tetheringprovision</item> <item>com.sec.tetheringprovision.TetheringProvisionActivity</item> </string-array>

This keeps the phone's TW framework from calling for restricted tethering.

Alas, I killed my S3.. well the Power button went super glitchy on me and it was causing massive random reboots and serious system instability. I thought it was the rom till I saw the screen flicker. anytime I brushed the button it woudl try to restart then force restart. at times rebooting twice before coming back up. Overall it turned into a piece of junk so monday of this week, I upgraded into the S5. Nice device. However with ATT, NO FREAKING ROOT! So... back to stock for me. yay.

Peace out folks. PM me if you need me.

Also, getting to messages and call log from lock screen notifications is def a little glitchy... And names don't appear when texts come in.... Just "message" but again amazing ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Go into the messaging app and change the settings for notification. The name and message should appear after changing the proper setting.

I tried to flash the blue original theme to my moms phone and it would not boot, did I mess up by swiping fix root? Or is it not compatible with 4.1? She loves this rom (me too), but she likes the old theme. I also noticed it says theme and tether fix, will that tether fix mess with anything on 4.1? I did search the thread first btw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
4.1 has the tethering fix included. None of the themes work with 4.1. Sorry :(. But if you use the wanam module after installing the Xposed framework, you can theme a lot of things in the Rom.

running a i747m from/on rogers, I know from searching this thread it was suggested to use a modem from rogers and the rest should work, not knowing which that is I tried the latest from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898, however I still end up with wifi not working(I'd be ok with no data as I use my phone mostly as a audio player:P), I tried flashing the pre-rooted stock image I had been using before and then I tried

"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modem.bin

to restore, or place a copy of updated modem.bin etc into /sdcard

dd if=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

"

as a means of get stock modem files onto my sdcard(I copied it over using es explorer from /sdcard/ folder)

also went ahead and backed up the stock boot(I think kernel) using TWRP....

flashed back intergalactic and tried copying over the modem(both files) into it and restarting, no change..... went ahead and restored the boot using TWRP, still nothing, and then used skipsoft android toolkit to try and restore the default boot.....

on stock pre rooted everything still works

......anyone with a rogers phone have a solution for the wifi, or anyone have any suggestions?

Thnx

Sorry guys. Life got ahead of me. I graduated college. I barely got enough input to make all the work worth it. It takes a really long time and it's so much work if everyone has moved on. I think it's best to end this. I recommend S3RX. A lot of the work there was a collaboration between the S3 devs. That way you'll get the best features and not have to worry about battery too. Sorry for the disappointment. It's really hard to maintain an older ROM and work full time when everyone has moved on. I hope you can understand.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radtech777:
You did great work while you were here, Strat. We were lucky to have you while we did. Good luck post-college, and hopefully you are not done with devving. Your helpful attitude, just like eneuman and talkingmonkeys over here on the d2att, was refreshing to say the least. You guys all have given me a whole new appreciation for touch wiz based ROMs. To those looking to replace your ROM with an update, I would also recommend TMS3KK. He has an S5 rom he is also working on, but still works and provides support to us S3 guys while we last. Its actually amazing how relevant this device is considering it is EOL. Anyway, thanks man.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
You know, I really love this community. I appreciate all of you very much. When I started this project, it was a very dark time for me in my life. I was in school, I had just gone through an awful breakup with a long-term girlfriend. Subsequently my grades slipped and I went into a depression. I started studying other devs work very closely. The work I had followed the closest was NunHugger's because he always found time to help people who asked for it on top of always putting out an incredibly solid ROM. Funny enough, I had asked him for help with some kernels and he was gracious enough to teach me how to make a flashable modified kernel. I started playing around with those before I even touched ROMs, funny enough.

I started this project - Intergalactic after building up enough confidence and understanding to actually put out a release. I don't like to release junk. Some of the things that were being tested for this ROM were amazing , but soft bricked my phone consistently. I wish I could have brought those features to the ROM, but the lack of stability made me choose otherwise and other hardcore modifications that could not have been possible without loser, enewman, and upndwn were implemented. This was a seriously amazing project and I can't tell you how happy it made me to see you guys enjoy something I put together.

What this project means to me is everything. If it were not for this, I would not have my current job as Full-time Administrator of Swappa because I was lucky enough to get hired as a part-time moderator and I wouldn't have walked away with all this amazing knowledge about these devices. I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't sit down after I was depressed, look at my phone and say, "I want you to work better". Oddly enough it was kind of like a child. I had something to take care of; something to work on while I was not well. This community's dedication to my work was overwhelmingly astonishing to say the least. You have all been so supportive and kind. There is a reason that there are so many thanks I give in the OP. That doesn't even begin my list.

Thank you all. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavours. If you ever need me for anything, you know where to find me. You'll always see me buzzing around Swappa.

I am sorry this was such a long post. I just started getting really sentimental I suppose. I hope someone will read this who may be in a similar situation that I was in and take it as a confidence boost to get out there, do the work, and learn the hard way (dive in head first and make mistakes). Intergalactic was my therapy. I was never perfect at it and I asked a lot of questions along the way, but I always did my best to make this the best project that I could. It turned out, the people here made it one of the best things I've ever done in my life. Thanks again, my Intergalactic family.

TL;DR: XDA rules. Thank you, everybody.

I tried to flash d2att_I747UCUEMJB_bootloader_modem_4.3.zip from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucuemjb-to-ucufne4-firmware-update-t2808654

When I flash this file in TWRP, it appears to check a list of valid bootloaders in ro.properties and then fails because it doesn't see I747UCLH9 in the list.

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

Correction:

It's checking ro.bootloader to look for valid existing bootloaders

Here's what I see in the updater script:

assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCALEM" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCALG1" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDLK3" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDMG2" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCUEMJ2" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCUEMJB");

So, I could change the updater script, but I don't want to do that and cause a problem. Anybody know how I should deal with this?
