Flash away!! (standard Factory Reset wipe, of course. Don't worry about /data/data.)

Here is the latest and greatest modem for our phone - the NE1 - there are 2 files in this folder, one firmware, the other the modem.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:
Won't he permanently lock his bootloader if he flashes the firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Flashing the radio is fine.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

I just came back to TW from LiquidSmooth - been away from TWO for week over a year. Main reason was the typical GPS locking issue. Sadly, it's not solved so I suspect I have a hardware problem (I've tried the various "fixes"). I'll probably stay on this for a while.... I just wiped everything except my SD card and internal storage, flashed, and that's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:
Flashing the radio/modem is okay but I believe the firmware would lock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Ooops!! I hope I wasn't too brief in what I said!! I meant to flash only the modem. I just wanted to let hlimbu00 know that there were 2 files in that directory and to pick the modem. HOWEVER, just FYI, that firmware, VRBMF1 would be perfectly safe to flash, (edit: then flash the modem after.) but is not needed. :cowboy:

EDIT: I assume that is the firmware we are all on, with upgrades to the modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:
And just for further clarification: Flashing NE1 firmware would lock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Righteo! And the NE1 modem is fine.

EDIT: And is a definite improvement on my phone - better battery life and connectivity. Well worth flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HiM@L:
I googled the recommended modem from OP and flashed it. its working good so far.

i dont know much abt locked bootloader as i dont carry this phone...it was for my gf...and she is using tmobile sim with this phone....so far its working nice.

do u guys recommend any kernel besides the one OP recommended in AROMA installer....i have that one now. although i dont feel as smooth as my Nexus 4 but again touchwiz was never to begin with (just my opinion).

Thanks again for everyone who have been kind in helping me here.

Good people here in this community.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
It can get smoother (after it's been working for awhile) and with the addition of Nova or Apex launcher - either will make the phone seem faster and smoother (though with the loss of the S5 weather widget, and the ability to make it transparent, I'm sticking with stock launcher at the moment - sacrificing gestures is a pain though.)

Also, as far as the ML1 modem, it works fine. This thread and ROM are not maintained anymore by the OP, who has moved on to other things so that is not the latest modem, which I just commented on, but there's no problem with ML1. However, I was surprised at the increase in battery life after flashing the NE1 modem!

Also you can speed it up with a tweak: Go into Settings and then select 'About Phone.' Then tap on the 'Android Version' tile I think it's 9 times in rapid succession. This will activate 'Developer Options.' Which have a number of cool tools and tweaks. Go into 'Developer Options' and scroll down to the 'Drawing' section and change the 3 animation scale settings from 1.0x to 0.5x.

As a side note, go into Settings>Custom Settings>Scripts and select to 'Add Extra Toggles.' This provides much more potential functionality from the pull down menu toggle option. Also, under Custom settings>Custom App Settings select the 'Media Battery Drain Fix.' This would be noticed as a drain if it was your phone and you checked on the battery. (at least on mine.)

One of the cool things about this ROM is the possibility of themeing just about every element on the phone. But, make a Nandroid before screwing with too many of the themeing elements or especially implementing one of the preloaded themes. This version has some holes in it and you may never get control over your phones appearance again, despite the option to save your current theme. THat option does not work as advertised. As I said before, AllianceROM for this phone is not getting the updates from any continued development of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ashtro:
well i was half asleep reading this and thought i had only flashed the modem...and I hard bricked my phone. I was using safestrap due to a a prior bricking months back...been a while since ive followed the forums. What are my options?

-Did try the debrick file method multiple times with no luck..not to upset though may just do a warranty swap out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
What exactly did you flash? Also, you're bootloader was locked before? What were you on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ashtro:
I was on build 23...i soft bricked a while back on a replacement...so I had to use safe strap...which i currently used any time i flashed any thing since...i flashed the modem package of"NE1" not even thinking about it being multiple files and not just the modem..I did a backup on my phone and then Flashed the package...after i rebooted it never came back on. Hard Brick!! :eek:

should of been on 4.3 i think that was on there when i got my replacement a few months back...My power button broke on the old phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
There is a modem only NE1 file you can flash. People with an unlocked bootloader and the traditional kind of custom recovery can flash that, no problem. If you have to use Safestrap, I am assuming you have a locked bootoader? Can you reinstall Safestrap? What firmware are you on? Perhaps the Safestrap thread would be the best place to search/ask?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ashtro:
gotcha at this point My phone wont even receive power. completely bricked. I can get the led to turn on if i take the battery out and plug the phone in. Im tired of trying to bring it back. I activated an old phone and am just gonna wait for a replacement and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah, if my memory serves me correctly you can't flash anything like that if you have a locked bootloader. I assume the only way to upgrade one's modem with a locked bootloader would be to go to stock and take the OTA update, then install Safestrap again and reinstall this ROM, or leave TW Kitkat on.

Don't take my word on that, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Normal flashing is done via a custom recovery. With a locked bootloader, it's not possible to *install* a custom recovery.

I'm not even sure on a Samsung phone, but on HTC phones, for example, you could name a zip file certain ways and flash stuff that way (even on non-rooted devices, but limited to radios, firmware, factory images of ROMs, etc).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ashtro:
edited.

a replacement phone was the worst thing ever. preloaded with 4.4.2... I enjoyed Beans Rom since about build 3 im going to miss it for sure...hopefully i can hold out for the next line of devices....thanks for the memories with the s3 and this awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkpod:
My phone is weird as well, I might return my through warranty insurance, but i am afraid of this... But having a working phone again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey funkpod, how would you feel about flashing Alliance fresh but removing, moving or renaming the emulated/0/Android foilder? This folder can lead to flakiness and it fixed it for me. You might even be able to restore a previous nandroid after it sets up a new Android folder. It's actually the data folder inside that's the problem.

I had to tussle with it some and I don't remember exactly how I got it all working again (without completely formatting internal sdcard, which you could also do) though I think it's as simple as removing/renaming/moving it and letting a new installation create it again. You may then have to install all of your apps manually from the play store, or with Titanium Backup. Your messages and phone log and calendar and contacts can all be saved with Tibu and restored as well.

Might be better than having to get a new (refurbished) locked phone.

Anyone have Bluetooth issues, got a Gamin Vivosmart which was staying paired for one day then overnight it started having issues with connectivity then this morning my phone won't see it but my wife's phone can see it fine. She is totally stock and locked down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
I had some issues with sync to the vivofit, where I would have to restart Bluetooth for it to work. I'm now on stock z3v and occasionally have the same issue, so I'm not sure it's the Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Thanks [MENTION=2982370]tsachi[/MENTION] I've read a lot of people have had connectivity issues everywhere. I went as far as reformatting my phone and reinstalling with the stock kernel because before I was using LK. Since then it has been OK, haven't lost connectivity a lot but still do at times. One nice thing is my wife bought this from REI so I get to test it for 364 days and if I'm not satisfied I can return it for a full refund.

Can I install this ROM on T-Mobile Samsung SGH-T999?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
On the phone call screen (when your in a call) and you get a 2nd call. is there any easy way to get the swap button to show up (vs.having the record button) or do i need to reflash?

THanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
Settings --> Custom Settings --> Phone Mods --> Conference/Call Rec toggle

I had to restart the ROM for the change to take effect, though force closing the dialer probably would have done it as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
I just moved to this from Beans 19 and am having a problem making the lockscreen (TW or AOSP) appear when the screen lock is set to anything other than swipe (i.e.pattern, PIN). Waking the device goes directly to the unlock screen as opposed to the lockscreen with widgets.

I recall a checkbox in Beans 19 that required swipe of lockscreen in addition to the secure lock. I can't find an option like that in Alliance 23.

EDIT: Looks like it is a Samsung feature. I can put widgets on the secure lockscreen but it does not seem to allow interaction with them and isn't as useful as insecure lockscreen.

EDIT: The Xposed module "Unlock effect before Security code" allows the swipe-first lockscreen to appear before the security code screen.

Although I'm using the Zero Lemon in airplane mode. Because I moved from this phone.

The feeling of staying on one solid ROM and version, like I did on S3 hasn't been achieved on the G3 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rune-san:
For what it's worth, I'm having the same issues with my phone. Complex password with letters and numbers. Encryption looks like its going for about 30 seconds, then simply reboots. A check of the setting again after reboot shows the option to Encrypt still available, with no request for the password on reboot. So it is definitely not encrypting anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] talon4x4:
I was able to fix it on mine. My company also forces a PIN to unlock phone, which I had set to 4 numbers. After some Google searching I found that in order for the encryption to work I had to change to a 6 digit PIN to unlock the phone. Once I did that, the phone encrypted just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rune-san:
I just wanted to update that I got it figured out and updated my answer over in the Q&A thread :D I'm just noting it here in case anyone is searching for encryption issues in the future.

Turn off SuperSU!

Trying to set an alarm for the first time on alliance. Clock force closes when I select the alarm tab. Tried clearing data on the clock app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Complete 180 but you could always wipe cache and dalVic reboot .

If and when that does not work maybe third party alarm like smart alarm which works great and mimics alot of the stock features and settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xaybor:
thanks beans

i can't say much but yeah, I like the beans rom a lot better than the alliance roms. my phone just works so much better with it. going back to old builds. thanks for all your work beans!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
Good idea but the cache/dalvik wipe didn't fix it. I'll check out Smart Alarm. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Yeah with all the additional custom stuff alliance brings when something basic poses itself as a hurdle just work around it that's what's so great with android as opposed to the other op systems that will always remain nameless with me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
For what it's worth, I seem to remember one of the developers in charge of MOAR and Alliance ask a few months ago which ROM the community wanted one last updated build. Of course Alliance won. :cool:

I have been patiently waiting but I guess they forgot about us lol.

Oh well! :p

lately I'm getting a lot of force closes, laggy apps, and really poor battery life. Right now I'm at 6h 53m on battery, less than 2 hours screen time and i'm down to 46%. This used to be better. Any one else notice anything similar?

Anyone have contacts crashing when you click on one? Unlocked, mf1 firm, ml1 modem.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dstarfire:
Has anybody encountered this problem or know of a solution?

1. Dial voicemail (*86 on my phone) using entry in contact list

2. voicemail system prompts me for password so I press power or shake the phone to make the display reappear

3. (this is where the problem occurs) any time I hit a button the display goes blank, and reappears a second later, without recording the keypress. If you repeat this step just 3-4 times, the screen starts going blank and reappearing without any interaction.

This is a semi-intermittent issue. I tried it again (to ensure I had the details correct for this post), and it let me enter my password, but then exhibited the problem when I tried to press 7 (to delete a voicemail that was playing). The next attempt I was able to enter my password and delete a voicemail without any problem. I didn't restart the phone or do anything other than end the call, go to my contacts list, and search for voice (in my contacts list, using the box at the top).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
Quick Question. I'm used to the s4 and need some help for the s3. Can someone show me how to flash the modem or ML1 if the s3 is on NE1(or the link to the post WITH the Modem. I can't seem to find it)? Or can I install THIS ROM on NE1 with the version of safestrap for NE1...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
If your already on NE1 and not on the locked bootloader it will work. However if your on the locked bootloader do not even attempt to do this, doing so will brick your device

Beans, you've read my mind with each and every change on these last couple builds. Thank you for theming the dialer app, adding the aosp lockscreen, and fixing the sms cb# bug! And you even merged in Leankernel, which i was gonna flash with the next build anyway! You rule.

So much for me getting my Numerical homework done today... Time to go ODIN to stock and flash my black little heart out!

How's the ROM running so far everyone? I have it downloaded and I can't wait to get out of work to flash and play. Is it just as delicious as build 4?

Willie C
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
The ROM is running great for me however I have noticed an issue while charging my phone. It shows it is charging but it is actually losing power normally like i don't have it on the charger. I've watched it go from 72 down to 69 while plugged in and charging. I'm rebooting it now and then going to plug back in to see if that changes anything. One other question I have is with my Tbolt i remember using terminal emulator for the IMO kernel to select governors and what not. What is it that most are using now on the GS3 to change governors and schedulers?

Thanks in advance

EDIT - Reboot fixed the charging issue. It has already charged up to 77% now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UberSuber:
1) I posted about this several pages back. I have been unable to get a card (32gb sdhc) to remount after removing it since flashing JB. Always have to reboot, but then it is fine. I haven't tried any other ROMs, though. Love this ROM, so I'll deal with it.

2) This gets mentioned over and over. Turn off the battery bar in custom settings

Battery life was decent on B2 and B3. With B4 it has been really stellar. I wonder if they didn't make some batt-specific improvements in the newest leak. I'm using a replacement battery, so I need to put the original back to see if it is really the ROM, but I'm thrilled with the battery life after those first few days (and a reflash) when media and system were sucking up all the juice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
just flashed this. took me about 3 flashes to get exactly what i wanted. so far everything is great. the 4.2 camera works good. it isn't freezing like it does on all the aosp roms i tried. so this is as close to aosp i found ( messaging and dialer along with the notification screen) that works with the 4.2 stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GreenMunky:
So simply rebooting will make the SD card mount? After the initial flash my card wouldn't mount at all... I hadn't removed it. That was really the only deal breaker for me in using this ROM as a daily driver... I'll have to give it another try and see if it starts playing nice with my card. Will report back...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RJFrank33:
After an install using twrp there's an option to wipe cache and delvik again and I always do it. I don't know if it's recommended or not but it certainly doesn't hurt. I'm not using the same card so maybe it is a compatibility issue with this rom. Wish I could be of more help but since I'm not having that problem I really don't know what else to try. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Sorry if it's a noob question.. I didn't flash RPM nor MODEM... I came from the odined stock K1... and everything just works anyways...

Is it because odining the stock already flashes RPM and MODEM?

OH btw.. This Build 5 so far is amazing! love the lock screen... my only complaint is why Samsung Galaxy S III logo is PINK??? Can we revert it back to white? Or can I do it myself? Where can I find the image file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Medic97:
Is there a way to get Fast charge on this phone? i had it on my gnex and i cant live without it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GreenMunky:
Yes, I believe the RPM and Modem are the same from JB stock to this... they're updated from the ICS ones though. So if going from JB ROM to JB ROM you don't need to flash anything in addition to the ROM itself, but if coming from ICS it's recommended that you flash the new RPM and Modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dstarfire:
In update to my last post, I stumbled onto some more details, including a workaround. These lead me to believe that this behavior is related to the 'proximity sensor' (as it's called in phone settings) that turns off the screen while you're on a call and holding the phone to your face.

The disappearance seems to be triggered as my finger approaches the screen (<1cm away), rather than the actual touch itself. With a bit of experimenting, I uncovered the following details:

The various apps I tested (Nova, touchwiz, calculator) do not register a touch at the distance that triggers the keypad disappearance

(in dialer/phone) a quick jab will trigger a keypress without causing the keypad to disappear

Behavior only occurs while a call is active. I can dial a phone number without problem, but once the call connects, this behavior occurs

Based on this information, I suspect the problem could be solved by implementing a delay into the proximity sensor so it requires a few hundred milliseconds of proximity before it triggers. Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer (hardware/systems guy) so I can't fix it myself.
