Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Fancy that. Those are some excellent results right there. Think you can squeeze 8 hours of screen out of the battery this time? ;) I've seen some people who's devices only last 8 hours in general on some AOSP based ROMs. Your numbers blow my mind. Glad it's being good to you!

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

I do the same thing, I actually make a post flash zip of all my apps so I can do it all from twrp, all my contacts are on a private exchange account so they're restored as soon as I set my email up. I also use nova so I have access to its backup/restore functionality.

I also typically strip even the leanest roms down considerably to get rid of accessibility stuff, weather, widgets I don't use, etc.

I typically refuse to restore any data or system apps. It's not 100% that it will cause problems, but if I'm taking the time to full wipe in not going to chance wasting time troubleshooting or doing a sans data full wipe and reinstall.

Unfortunately, not restoring data means you have all the in app settings to deal with, not a problem for me but a major problem for her (especially since she doesn't remember half her passwords).

Even with all the shortcuts it usually takes 45 minutes to an hour from full wipe to how I like it. I used to tell everyone 15-30 min till I actually clocked myself; but I have 2 vpns, 3 mail, 2 cloud and a bunch of rom settings that I like.

I personally don't have a problem with it, I'm sure more time went into development from 2.7-2.8 than I've spent doing clean installs on this phone since I got it. My wife however, just wants to use it, and I think she's more worried about warranty than anything else.

Not sure why, but you can only be married for so long before you learn to pick your battles, lol!

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

It was about 30 hours of work from 2.7-2.8 if we're counting and about 40 different flashes. That being said, I am on spring "break". ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Urinophoria:
Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Lol, yeah, I'd say you probably spent as much time on that update as I have (clean) flashing in total.

Considering I've at least tried all of the popular roms in "original development" once, and some several times... Good argument to throw out there if anyone whines about doing a full wipe for troubleshooting.

Especially if I were to confess how much my time spent flashing would go up if I acknowledged all the wasted time troubleshooting or re flashing my dirties...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Some people find me being hard, but if ever a person whines the first thing I tell him is to clean install n then, if the problem still persists, to report it. A dirty flash is, in my opinion, never the right way to solve the issue, unless its very evident. Don't feel its proper to tax the already hard working devs over our laziness to clean flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Urinophoria:
Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Yep, I generally go dirty when I'm feeling lazy and don't particularly care if it gets borked. Typically when I'm strapped for time, don't need the phone atm, and planning a clean flash later. This is actually one of the few roms I've seen that works pretty damn good even on a dirty flash

However, if I have to clear data or reinstall more than 1-2 apps, that's when I'll just burn everything, including formatting internal storage and start over.

Sometimes happens even with a clean flash, at which point I repeat the above and discard my postflash.zip and set it all up from scratch or the play store backup.

Scorched earth doesn't suck :D

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

When moving between ROMs it is highly recommended to do a clean flash to avoid issues. Can you try clean flashing it?

Dirty flash simply writes on top on existing. So if there is any existing data that conflicts with the data in the new ROM it creates issues. And since chances are that the dev won't know about your old ROM, it would be hard to help you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Synyster06Gates:

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Boot into recovery.

Wipe system, data and dalvik.

Flash.

Reboot.

You might need to search on here on how to go to recovery. Can't be of much help there cos I'm on phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Synyster06Gates:
Hmmm I did that per the instructions on the first screen, but it still happened.

Would it have anything to do with the old boot animation from the last ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
Perhaps a bad download? I would re-download from mirror and try again. Check md5 sum

A clean wipe/flash should take care of any changes to your last setup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Synyster06Gates:
Hmmm if it's a bad download, what can I do as far as getting the better file on the phone now if it doesn't recognize it when I plug it in?

And another question- if it were a bad download, would it still show as a good install in CWM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Before that, download the file on computer n load to your external SD. I make it a point to store all ROMs and related OS files on external SD in case I happen to format internal SD by mistake.

All you would need to do is get it into recovery, and you won't need to be on computer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
CWM will flash whatever is in the zip file; if something was missing, you might not know. To be sure the d/l is good, verify md5 sum. That's the only way I know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
To add to this, I always download large size critical items like ROMs on computer. Might call me old fashioned, but I find this as being more reliable way than download on phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Synyster06Gates:

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

I would like to explain my post Lol this ROM is rocking right now and I do like this on the best so far.....just wishing that the DPI was smaller and the contacts easier to use/dial then the stock contacts......with the stock you have to hit their name then their number to dial but on the other ones you just hit their name and it dials .....little things I know Lol but still, bottom line I am rocking this ROM as we speak and I like it a lot thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Thank you very much I'm glad you are enjoying it. Changing the DPI can make some things look strange so I leave it to you guys to change if you want. Secondly, you can go to enewman's thread and he has a 5x5 launcher if you prefer it. Lastly, to easily call a contact all you have to do is swipe their name and it will call them. One direction is messaging and the other is call. Hope that helps :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
In stock contacts app, you have the option to swipe left to call or swipe right to message. Built in shortcuts.

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Well I figured it was time for a fresh wipe/flash seeing a new version was out then figured what the heck as long as I was wiping clean I'd try a new/different ROM (not saying which) BUT. After a hour I was wiping and flashing Strat's Intergalactic 2.8 lol..

This is by far the best ROM for our GS3s!!! But there was one cool thing the other ROM had I liked, if you held the back bottom it killed the app, thought that was great..

Have to give Strat a big THANK YOU again for giving us a truly awesome ROM.. Thanks bro :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
I found that back button to kill is kinda finicky esp when you click back button multiple times quickly... it force closed the app instead of exiting it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thank you very much that's so kind. I, personally, do not like the back to kill because I think the OS and tweaks I've made do a good job of keeping apps managed and I tend to accidentally hit the back button. :) Hopefully not a dealbreaker. I think there is a mod around here that teaches you how to do it. I don't know where it is off the top of my head.

Update on what I did tonight: T-Mobile Intergalactic has been completed, uploaded, and now needs testing. I'll be putting a thread up soon for those guys. :)

Re: [ROM] Intergalactic v2.8 [UCDLK3][3/12/2013]

Hey stratatak7 I just wanted to say that this is my favorite touch wiz ROM and thanks for being there when I need help! By the way why dose my phone get so hot after 15 minutes when I use the browser, The brightness is all the way down power save is on don't know whats the problem I have tried all the kernels but all of them get hot, I use the 2.6 one it gets hot but not as much as the other ones but was asking if you know what's the problem I have cleared cache and all that fixed permission and still nothing. :'(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Absolutely! I'll always answer any questions I am capable of, gladly. And running the browser or playing a game is taxing the CPU/WIFI/GPU at the same time. Even with power saver mode on, you will notice some heat. The only way to reduce heat is to undervolt or just not use the phone. The heat is normal and is not damaging to the device unless Samsung made a mistake at the factory (unlikely). Another thing to note is that all chips behave differently. One SGS3 may perform differently than an "identical" S3 off the same assembly line. After clearing caches, your phone needs to rebuild them too, which, you guessed it, makes the phone use more CPU power and makes it slightly warmer until it's done. Don't worry though it's completely safe, my phone gets warm regardless of what kernel I use. It's definitely not anywhere near as warm as some of the other phones I've had. They've gotten so hot that I could no longer touch them. Try another browser too. I hope my suggestions have explained things a bit and that it is understood that what you're experiencing is normal unless you have a rogue app somewhere.

I rarely have to ask questions anymore. Some because I've learned a few things over the last couple of years, but mostly because of helpful people like you guys. Just a little reading and keeping up with certain threads and I have all the answers I need. So thanks to all who read this and have contributed to this thread and others. :good:

I usually dirty flash if I'm flashing an upgrade of the same ROM. If something goes wrong (or just not quite right), I'll then do a fresh or clean install. Or if the Dev specifically states that a full wipe is necessary. When coming from a different ROM, especially from a different system (such as AOKP, CM10, etc.) I always do a full wipe/factory reset. Works for me. :) vvv

MMS

Hey,

My sister has had her galaxy s3 for 7 months now and I saw her using it the other day and it was brutally slow. Button pressing had very delayed actions, scrolling was choppier than my old moto milestone even! So onto XDA I went looking for a nice looking 4.1.1 sammy ROM. I saw this ROM and I thought it would be perfect for her. I rooted her phone, wiped, factory reset, fresh install and after reconfiguring the APN I thought all was well.

I think I may have missed something in the APNs but I can't figure out what. Her problem is that it will not send or recieve MMS. when sent to her she gets a download button and when pressed tries downloading but only times out. When sending, it just times out as well. Does anyone have recommendations on how to fix this?

I have a GS3 as well but I have been on AOSP for months now and I forgot a lot of the touchwiz stuff so my apologies if it is a setting I missed or something like that.

Also Her phone still has the lag and delay :confused:

she has a ton pictures and what not that take up the majority of her internal storage but she still has 2gb free. I thought that might be the cause but am not sure it could slow it down as much as it has... any ideas? I told her to move them to dropbox and see if it fixes it...

(BTW the brief period I had with the phone the ROM looked great, nice work! :good:)

Edit: APNs are regarding Telus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Duffman14:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
Thanks! I'm sorry you're experiencing an issue on Telus. Also I see you're from Vancouver. I have a friend I speak to every day in North Van.

The ROM will successfully flash, but you may have data issues without further modification.

Step one: are these your APN settings? There should be more than one. If these aren't the APN settings make sure that they are EXACTLY as follows. I'm hoping you understand that "NOT SET" means to leave it blank :) :

NAME : TELUS SP

APN : SP.TELUS.COM

PROXY : NOT SET

PORT : NOT SET

USERNAME: NOT SET

PASSWORD : NOT SET

SERVER : NOT SET

MMSC : HTTP://ALIASREDIRECT.NET/PROXY/MMSC

MMS PROXY: 74.49.0.18

MMS PORT: 80

MCC: 302

MNC: 220

AUTHENTICATION TYPE: NONE

APN TYPE : DEFAULT,MMS

APN PROTOCOL : IPV4

ENABLE/DISABLE APN: APN ENABLED (CHECKED)

BEARER: UNSPECIFIED

NAME: TELUS ISP

APN: ISP.TELUS.COM

PROXY NOT SET

PORT NOT SET

USERNAME NOT SET

PASSWORD NTO SET

SERVER NOT SET

MMSC NOT SET

MMS PROXY NOT SET

MMS PORT NOT SET

MCC 302

MNC 220

AUTHENTICATION TYPE NONE

APN TYPE DUN

APN PROTOCOL IPV4

ENABLE/DISABLE APN APN ENABLED (CHECKED)

BEARER UNSPECIFIED

If that doesn't work:

Firstly, you should download a rom you want and ALSO you'll need to download the stock Telus version too. Find the updater script from MY rom and open it up. There are two lines at the top. Change the first line to match your product ID, for example AT&T is d2att and t-mobile is d2tmo. There are two instances of d2att in there that need to be changed. Next step: take the build.prop from the STOCK Telus Rom and copy it over to mine, replacing the old one. You can edit the ROM name to Intergalactic there if you want. Final step: Find the apns-conf.xml file in the STOCK Telus Rom and copy it over to mine, replacing the old one. That should be your first step in porting beween GSM carriers.

If that doesn't recover MMS, take it one step further and try flashing a Telus kernel and also triple check your APN is correct. Finally, if that doesn't work you'll have to follow upndwn4par's porting instructions in this development section to get it perfect.

*breathes* I hope that helps. It's the best I know to do right now between carriers. I'm crossing my fingers. Make sure she does a clean flash too.

That's simply amazing. :)

If you want, you can take the SystemUI from the stock theme and place it in the tethering fix zip and that will put your status bar back to normal and still give you black menus.
