So here's what I found....

There is a file called "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db which has the ripple and ink effect values in there. I was able to edit and save them in a SQL editor. When I transfer it back on the phone, it copys fine, but resets to the old version on boot.

I tried deleting the file completely and rebooting and the same thing happens..... the file comes back.

Where is the DEFAULT settings file saved to? It has to be getting the info somewhere.

Ok I'll make a backup now! Where do I put your nandroid backup once I download it.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

What if he is using a different kernel or something like that? Will I lose my text messages?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
#1- I'm on TWRP so my backup no good on CWM. Restore system could also kill MMS. Not sure where that db is. Would have to look at files.

#2- There is a db file where your mms are stored. Name depends on what mms app you use. Can pull that db and put back in clean flash.

#3- Advanced data restore only May or may not restore system settings. If it doesn't that will restore your app data.

#4 -Best to make backup and reflash phone. Then play with the files in backup so at least have a working phone.

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
I did exactly what you said. Backed up, wiped and flashed new rom, restored data only..... the lockscreen is still there! NOOOO
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Does the lockscreen open? Then the settings are in data somewhere and not in base system. I think the backup saves both system/data and data/data. Looks like no way to save data unless can find those files that have the settings and the mms. My guess is it is kernel related if not using stock kernel or original dirty flash related. I have AOSP, Ripple (Altho will not work with AOSP),swipe, pinlock all enabled with stock kernel and works fine. Add rotation and really looking for problems. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
I tried using a different kernel... no go again. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Doesn't TiBu restore data from nandroids? Why not just restore the stuff he needs from it with TiBu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Has to be the dirty flash to begin with. We have had many that had freeze problems with rotation but never more than a few seconds. I enabled every option available except rotation and mine works fine. Can't duplicate it. :cool:

Edit: Never seen one that couldn't get to pin lock or homescreen. Only time I have seen it is if tried to mod or add 3rd party lockscreen. International or Sprint lockscreen will cause that. So if flashed another lockscreen mod that could be the problem. There are different versions of AOSP lockscreen and try to flash the newer one it will do this. 4.3 lockscreen would cause a freeze/reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
TiBu restores from nandroid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Could be an option if knows what files to extract. Root explore or z-zip will do the same. He needs the db and app data files. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
We got it! [MENTION=5090422]vmancini3[/MENTION] worked for me for a few hours trying to figure out the issue. He hooked me up with his lockscreen files, which I used to overwrite my old ones.

/data/system

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal

Before I replaced them, I went into /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases and removed the 3 files from there as well. (settings.db)

Rebooted phone and BAM.... back to my homescreen with the lockscreen and password disabled.

I want to thank everyone in here for helping me fix my phone. I want to give a special thanks to [MENTION=5090422]vmancini3[/MENTION] for working with me on ooVoo chat for the past 3 hours. You saved all of my important data that would've been a huge loss to me. I'd also like to thank [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] for his different suggestions that helped point us in the right direction. You both are shining examples of how great the people are here at XDA. Caring, unselfish, and the desire to learn and fix my issue... I'm truly grateful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
AND [MENTION=2777061]Ridl3y[/MENTION] IS BACK INTO HIS PHONE!!!!! Took a while to figure it out......he took my 3 files....locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, and locksettings.db-wal located in /data/system and injected them into his nandroid and voila.....ACCESS!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Now you need to save what you need and wipe and reflash since your dirty flash is what broke it and will break something on next rom you flash. Can't dirty flash and survive forever. Will lose it all. Lot of roms can't even restore data. My flashes are all clean. That is why I'm able to test this things cause mine never broke. If I can't duplicate it it is operator error, device or dirty flash. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
I've been dirty flashing since Jellybeans v1 and never had an issue until today, which resulted in me doing something STUPID to my lockscreen. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
May have gotten away with it but I bet my device much smoother and faster than yours. Backing up mms and data is easy. No reason to have dirty partitions or old firmware. ;):p:cool:

---------- Post added 5th October 2013 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 4th October 2013 at 11:57 PM ----------

Haha. I wouldn't have spent hours to save data. It would have already been saved and just flash clean and add data as required. My device hasn't been fully setup in 6 months but still have all my data backups. ;):p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
I do have one little tiny issue that is confusing me. All of my settings are different... much different. Why would replacing those files do anything but fix the lockscreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Everything in settings is either default or his settings depending on what if you stayed with just deleting yours or replaced with his. Once deleted and phone opened I wouldn't have used his. I would have just set my own. You may now have his settings. You also playing with on the fly mod. All the smali and xmls are tied together. That is why I don't like those mods. I flash the base rom and then let my theme mod what I want. I will use minor mods like screenn scroll. Don't use any status bar, notification or battery mods. Ne exposed, ect. no call recording. Skvalex has that covered. More mods you add the more problems you have. They all hook to the same smali and xml files. I prefer the mods to be in Aroma. Can flash what I want and don't bloat my device with uneeded mods. If have 11 batteries you have at least 2000 files you don't need. . Got 30-40 lockscreen files you don't need. That why I don't like on the fly. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
The way we did it actually caused issues. It gave my device a different ID which disabled most of my features. I went ahead and pulled the files from an image of my bad backup and modified the values. I replaced them and now everything is perfect.

It is so easy to disable a locked phone without knowing a password. Who knew? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That what we look at. Don't even use lockscreen. lol If rooted and unlocked for you it is rooted and unlocked for all of us. lol Always has been easy if smart enough to code files. Most not smart enough or it takes hours so not worth most peoples time. lol Can do same with PC if no password set for system. Just go through bios Only took yall 5-6 hours to pop it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
The saga finally ends....

So long story short........

Always make a nand.....

Don't dirty flash.............

And keep a good nand in ur pocket at all times........ :rolleyes::cool::D

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore

In case no one has ever seen this before..

It pulls apps, call logs, sms, system apps, etc, directly from nandroids made with twrp..

It probably works with other recoveries but I use twrp..

The pro version is 0.99, but I was in a similar situation and I was able to get everything from the free version..

But since it saved my stuff, why not toss him a dollar..

Long live people helping people..

So boot into recovery, make a nand now, wipe, put in a working rom.. Get the app, restore from made nand..

I use it and love it! Combined with Obackup which does a scheduled nandroid every night, I have no fears about loosing any of my data, also use backup to gmail to instantly backup SMS and MMS (though no MMS restore) and Mybackup pro for everything else just in case (also scheduled every night)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mtw204:
After installing this rom I get to the first start up screen and I get a system ui crash. This happens a few times thru the start up process. Also, my sd card is constantly being checked for errors and won't go away till I restart the phone.

Thought it might be a kernel issue, so I tried all kernels and the issues are still there. Also im on MF1.

Any info or help as to why this is happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Bad/dirty flash or bad download/file transfer. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mtw204:
Hmm I did a clean flash. Several times now. Guess ill redownload and try again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
Lately my phone has been doing GPS searches for several minutes at time. Is there an app to download that will tell me what app is doing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'd say either BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector. Either would be fine although BBS will give you more technical breakdown and has a dump logcat to txt option. BBS is free on xda and WD is free in Play Store. Charge the phone, let either run in background for at least 4-8 hours as you use the phone, then you can look and see what's been using most battery or been in use the most. They will not tell you exactly what's starting GPS at specific times but both will tell you what apps/services were in use.

Anybody ever get their power button replaced? If so, did you have any future issues with the power button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mtw204:
Well I've re-downloaded the zip and done and clean install several times, still getting the system ui crash and the sd card is being "prepared" until i reboot. This doesnt happen on any other 4.1.2 or 4+ roms. Any more ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
:laugh:

I think you'll be fine with the systemui crash after finishing that activation menu. Try reformatting your sdcard to see about clearing those "sdcard is being prepared" notifications.

Does anyone know of any mod to change the colors of the statusbar on the fly? Or if even someone could provide a flashable zip for white icons that would be great ;) really wished this ROM had this feature
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
This Rom does have Stat Bar color change on the fly mod.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Oh sorry I meant to say the color of the statusbar icons. It would like beautiful it the ICS colored icons were white, well at least for my home screen :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
I figured it out. It was Google Play Services. It's been doing it ever since the Play update. I reverted to the old Google Play and no more random long GPS searches. Thank you again for the suggestions.

Of course, this begs the question, why does Google Play need to know where I am???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Adds, tagging your location to your friends and thiefs so they know your not home, games like Ingress, tailoring Google searches for cards, ect,ect,ect.. All the stuff the kids like. All Google apps are tied togetyer now. If it turned on on any Google app they all know where you are. Play services is just the central location where can turn them all on. :p;):cool:

Why does my choice of having white icons concern you so much. All I asked is if there is a mod to change colors of the icons yet you're judgmental about it rather than helping.

There or lots of mods. Search or just change the pngs. It a 5 minute mod. :cool:

Is there an easy way to remove the sound boast mod without reflashing the rom? I'm loving everything about this rom, but the sound boast is too much for my liking. I'd prefer to simply turn it off, rather than reflashing the entire rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ridl3y:
I too would LOVE to know how to get all white icons for my status bar. I used to do this back on my DInc with CM. White is a neutral color that all other colors match with. It would be nice to switch up my theme every now and then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Pull them from stock rom and replace or use exposed. If not white enough send to me and will batch them . :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FlyRyan:
Oh for sure! That's what I've been doing. :)

I just really enjoyed the passive nature of being informed before rather than having to actively keep up with updates. OTA didn't do anything other than downloading the zip anyways. I just really appreciated how automatic it was.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Have no clue what you are talking about. There is no 4.2 TW. Would have to see downgrade file and reverse it. Probably easir said that done. :cool:

See edit. A copy of original 4.2 sd card saved to pc would be easiest and move any changes in to file after flash AOSP. Would be best to ask whoever wrote other script. .:cool:

OK. I mean, obviously beans would know something since its included in his ROM lol. I'll see about reversing it. Just wasn't sure if anyone could tell me a little better than digging around in it til I got it right.
