Dolphin did the trick...thx guys. I will flash tonight OE tomorrow....any hints considering I am coming from ASOP Carbon? I am not a flashaholic but sometimes it is nice to change. I may have a few questions once I am up and running...

I would wipe everything including Internal SD but that is me. [MENTION=3576831]SlimSnoopOS[/MENTION] should chime in on this one. He is proficient at bouncing between AOSP and TW. :rolleyes::p:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha man, I don't wipe internal when switching between AOSP and TW. I actually just wiped internal for the first time in a year and all said and done it after moving data back to internal, it freed up 1.5 GB of space which is great. Only did it cuz I was testing a potential solution for 1 sms issue on AOSP.

Typically, I just wipe system and factory reset then flash. I did however do some moving of data when I would go from AOSP 4.3 back to TW 4.1.2 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:
I run asop an alliance I don't wipe internal SD. They work good together since tw went to 4.3.I never have had any issues using both its good for a change.

TW vs. AOSP

Gonna give this a shot and see if reception is any better on a TW ROM? Have a POS Flip Samsung from work and no problems in the house what so ever! But my S3 is crap:(! We'll see. Howie

:p

Unfortunately not so quickly, I'm testing out a T-Mobile SIM this weekend and get this quite a lot.

And before someone over at the T-Mobile side gets too excited - no, I didn't install this rom on T-Mobile s3, I'm using Verizon phone with gsm SIM.

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That's the problem with T-Mobile and if they are like Sprint eventually tag you for roaming too much. :cool:

Been playing around with this ROM as always Beans and tram has done a great job.

First full day will be today. I guess the one thing that is stumping me..and I apologise ahead of time for my newb question....is there a shortcut to get to the native tethering? I feel like an idiot asking...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobson318:
So I just came back from running Beanstalk 4.4 - I liked kitkat but since it wasn't made specifically for this phone it had some quirks that have obviously brought me back here. One thing I did like though is that if I clicked on a link in an email, I would go right to the site no issues. On this rom I get page can't be found stuff. For example: i get emails bradsdeals.com - if i click a link in that email i can't get to the web page. browser won't redirect and i get page can't be found. this is just one example. since I used chrome in both roms it has to be a rom issue. I did not do anything to chrome in the other rom to get it to work, it just worked.

thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in to this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LazerDino:
I haven't had any problems with this. I just tried it in Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, & stock browser with no problems.

It's in the notification pull down toggles. If it's not showing up there, you may have to use the add toggles script in the Alliance Settings. (I can't recall if I had to do that or not)

My wifes phone is a verizon s3 with this rom and on TMO sercice. Works fine. No 4g though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No 4g on S3. Have to be AWS supported to get 4G. Then have to swap back to UTMS to get calls and text. Won't be user friendly till VOLTE is activated and can do voice on 4G. T-Mobile uses same AWS band as Verizon. :cool:

Hello, is there a way to replace the stock image in the contacts? It's the image for people without a contact photo. The stock one's fine, better than nothing, but it'd be fun to play with those. Just curious.

Quick question in regards to audio/vibrate notifications. This ROM a great! Just flashed it last night. However the notifications aren't working at all. No sound and or vibration. I have double checked everything. Everything is set to ring and vibrate for everything. I'm getting nothing, not even the phone is ringing. I have rebooted the phone and even pulled the battery several times with no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
yes! i notice that there are like... 3 or 4 color variations in the stock smiley face that is used. if i could replace it with like, mario, liugi, toad, princess, etc, that'd be fun. dunno if that's possible, though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goldie:
Its possible. You can do it! Just extract the seccontacts.apk and look in the drawable folders for the images. Then name your new ones the same and drag them into the correct folder in the apk with 7zip. Paste it into /system/app with root explorer...reboot :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
Thanks! renamed it to a .zip, and then unzipped it. Looked at the folders, and the closest thing that I can find is this...

"contacts_default_no_update_image_01.png"

and there are 5 different variations...

BUT, it's NOT the right image.

the ones on my phone are a smiley face, ALMOST drawn on top of the image attached.

Know how I would find the right one?

<<<NOT the right image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
There are a lot of them. SecContacts.apk drawable-xhdpi and drawable-sw360dp-xhdpi. Also SecPhone.apk sw360dp-xhdpi. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
thanks. I am looking to replace this photo, and I can't seem to find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
on a side note, i just found the

"dialer_bg_h_01.png"

I can replace these files with my own and customize my dialer?

I always thought they were like... buttons.. but they're more like backgrounds with transparent buttons on toP? like theming on a launcher with transparent icons?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LazerDino:
They are in drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi.

It is sw359dp-xhdpi if look at all my screenshots. That one is coming from dialer and is in SecPhone.apk. Same folder. Part of the theme is in contacts and part is in phone. They work together. That is why that is the hardest of all apks to find everything and theme. :cool:

Wow...this rom will be a legend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
Verizon won't be able to tell if I am using the built-in hotspot tethering on this rom, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That is debatable. Will they do anything about it. No. I have used in excess of 30 GB a month. Some people more that 100 GB/month. We have been doing it for years. It will still use your data allotment. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
here's the interesting thing:

The first pic is the folder that you mention. Notice, it's not the same picture that you have.

Also, the 2nd picture, is the in the parent folder, "res" . I did a search for everything with the word "contact" in it, and no pics with the smiley face guy show up.

somehow maybe I grabbed the wrong .apk? I only see one on my phone, though. i guess i could try again.

3.g service only

Im not sure what is going on, but this morning, I'm only getting 3g services. My wife (who hates change) is still on beans 18, but has 4g. Had a chat with a verizon rep, and they refreshed my sim, that did not make a change.

Ive been on 22 (with stock kernal) for at least a week, so I dont think it is a rom issue, but not sure where to start looking.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrokenWish:
Do u have any nandroid backups of beans 22? U can try n restore a backup n start from there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gdavenpo71:
No, I just do a Nandroid before I flash something new. Never thought about creating one once I get the rom setup. Live and learn, thanks for the Idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Well all I can tell you is if you flash the Beans version of my theme on your phone it will theme every contact pic in Phone and Contacts. and the only images we have themed are in SecContacts and SecPhone sw359-xhdpi. We have no contact images themed in framework-res. The non themed screenshots I posted are the files pulled straight out of Alliance-22. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobson318:
Try /storage/emulated/0/Sounds

they end up in the same place as recordings using the voice recorder i do believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobson318:
This has been asked before by someone else but never saw an answer for it. I went in to rom control to do a backup of my settings. Tapping on Back N Theme produces the message that appears in the picture. When I go in to OTA there is no option for downloading the file specified. Just 3 themes. I like how I have things and do not want a total them make over. How do I get this file so I can back up my settings?

Suggestion for future build: Having desktop app folders close after making a selection. Unless the option is there already and I haven't found the setting for it.

Again thanks to all that contribute to this community.

I have to say I am really enjoying this ROM... THANK YOU DEVS!!

Instead of asking a bunch of questions in here...is there somewhere that will explain Aroma and the features and how it works. I am unfamilar with it and would like to learn more about it and use it to its fullest.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Nothing to learn. It's just a tool that allows the dev to offer different modifications and configurations without having multiple flashable zips. You pick the options you want and hit reboot at the end. If want to build your own search for Aroma and will find the thread for it. :cool:

Anybody else notice a fast battery drain on the Stock Kernel? Or is it just my battery not being able to hold a charge? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Yes!!! BIG battery drain. That's the number one reason why I had to 'jump ship'. You're not alone. :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
Haven't had any issues. Two questions, though. What is draining most? Is this a new install for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobson318:
Battery been pretty good here. Better than rom I came from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueLaguna88:
It says my screen is 40% but I don't usually have my screen on that long. Not a new install, I've clean flashed this rom when it came out. I think it might be a combination of the charging port and battery, I might try another kernel with fast charging because I can no longer charge my phone and be on it because the battery will just drain instead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LiRa89:
Have not had any problems with stock kernel,

I did get a new battery bc the old one (1.5 yrs old)

Was not holding good charge, i was only getting like

8-10hrs per charge, with 2.5-3hrs of screen on

Now i can get the same time of screen on time, but phone

Can last on for about 12-17hrs or a little bot more, depending on my use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueLaguna88:
Know where to get a battery for a good price? I'm really starting to think it's my battery because mine does only last 8-10 hours...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LiRa89:
Something like this happened to my friend's GS3

He dropped it while charging, so somehow he messed the usb port

Not knowing this, he kept using and battery life deteriorated pretty fast,

At the end of the first month phone was not lasting for whole day,

He bought a new battery, but started doing the same thi g,

When charging the phone he had to find the right spot for it to charge,

I think this may have kill the battery cause phone was loosing charge while being

used and charged at the same time,

Requested insurance and got another one, problem solved.

Maybe take a look at both usb port and battery, make sure battery is not or is starting to swell up, it has to be completely flat on all sides
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueLaguna88:
Probably what it is, there's been any times when I have dropped it while charging and forgot that it was charging and accidentally yanked the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LiRa89:

I Just had a really weird issue happen. Was text messaging and as I sent the text the messaging process stopped/crashed. When I went back to messaging all of my texts were gone and every message now displays per text and not as a conversation thread.

Anyone have an idea of what I can do to fix this, get my texts back?

Also found them on eBay for a couple dollars cheaper, as I was looking into purchasing one. Yes they are brand new and yes they are exactly identical to the batteries that come with the GS3.....2100mAh with NFC.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
You're not gonna like what I'm about to say....but before I do let me say that I've already gone through what you just experienced! Consider it sort of like a "system overload" you just simply can't have that many messages saved.....someone else pretty much described it as a memory dump of sorts! And no, there's no way to get those messages back unless you have a backup somewhere...sorry.

Edit: And I didn't have nearly as many messages as you when it happened to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:

I use Titanium Backup to backup my messages, contacts, calendar and phone log every nigtht, to Dropbox, too.

28K messages!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont mean to sound rude but holy SH1T!! lol that is a absolute insane amount of messages i didnt think the app could hold over 999 per my messaging mods that is 100% your issue that is just way to many messages lol

ps- i use the same mods on s3,s4,note2,note3 so i dont think the mods to messaging is the issue if anything they help because of allowing more than stock amounts of messages etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Enphenate:
Yeah its pretty rediculous it's about 3 years of texts backed up since I got this phone. I'm not too worried about losing those messages.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You'll hard brick if you Odin flash anything except VRUCML1 4.3 stock image. If you use EZ Unlock to attempt to unlock the bootloader, you'll hard brick. There are plenty of threads in the Q/A section asking for help after doing either of those. You are stuck on VRUCML1 unless you exchange the S3 out for another. It's not too bad if all you ever use is TW though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dmavs3113:
damn Verizon really went all out with 4.3 didn't they... I liked TW roms but for the past couple of months I had been using 4.4 AOSP roms.. So I was hoping to go back to those for a bit. If I had known this I might have kept my old S3 with the messed up power button :(
