I'm not aware of anyone adding true (old school chat room style) group messaging to the stock messaging app on any rom, so as far as I know the solution is the same as with any other rom - install a third party messaging app with group messaging (I hear that goSMS and Handcent both support that feature).

The difficulty with group messaging is that unlike email, sms messages don't arrive with a list of recipients. If I sent a mass email to everyone in this thread, then everyone would know everyone else's email address because that information is included as part of the message. But if I sent you all a mass text, the only number any of you would see attached to the message besides mine is your own. So your phone wouldn't know the difference between a text sent just to you and one sent to a group that includes you, and it wouldn't know who to group any given message with.

Also, what if you send a group message to two or more people who don't know each other's numbers? It would no longer function as a group message, unless all recipient information was included in each message (or the phone that starts the conversation acts as a host, relaying all messages to the rest of the group, multiplying the number of messages flying around the network by the number of members in the group). But sms messages are inherently size limited, so additional information will cut into the 160 character limit. Mms could be used instead, but then android phones would be headed towards becoming as much of a drain on the data network as iPhones are ;)

There sure is, you could just run the stock rom.

I'm not sure I understand why you want to run a custom rom and then want people to change everything back to what you had out of the box? That makes no sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
.

Guys the rom is not made for you, the rom was made by Kenny for Kenny as Kenny likes it. He did take into consideration many of the things others wanted that why it's called The People's Rom. This rom comes with a following for more than a year and a half from the OG Epic 4g. You can if you want use morphology or any other themeing method to accomplish the look you want. Naddict who is one of The People has been gracious enough to accommodate and post many of your requests in flashable zips, which has been super cool on his part as we all try and help each other. But to come in and ask for this or that is a little insulting as this is Kenny's rom as he wants it.

The themeing is as he sees it fit, he likes the blue and he likes Spiderman... Take as is or customize it as you wish, but don't ask for him to change his rom.

Well said, Ed (hey that sorta rhymes)

In fact, TPR is a rare find - I've seen many requests in many other rom threads, and more often than not they are referred to guides to do it themselves... helpful, sure, but not nearly as much as guys like rompnit, naddict and crew making flashables almost daily, some of which might only be used by the person who made the request. The People bend over backwards to go that extra mile - they deserve to draw the line somewhere, and no one would have any right to complain about it.

Edit: I'm not sure why I referred to the People in third person - end users and noobs are part of the family too :)

Seriously the XDA App needs a search function while in individual threads...now...I hate to ask but has anyone been having issues with the ROM freezing randomly as well as the notifications bar disappearing randomly? A simple yes or no would be awesomeness a full answer would save me trip down 2 flights of stairs and across a cold concrete floor to get one of my computers

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
An update for the dev's about what I wrote like 2 pages ago about the volume button issue. I just did a dirty flash of the rom again and this time picked just the loud option and now the volume rocker works like it should controlling all volume functions. It looks like something is missing in the extreme loud settings that doesn't allow u to control all volume functions together.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
No problems here - the notification bar isn't visible on first boot (as noted), but it sticks around once it appears by pulling down the curtain.

The freezing tells me that something isn't right with your install - what was your process? Be sure to include what room you came from, what additional zips you flashed (and in what order), and what you wiped in the process (also in exact order).

Finally, the search issue - I know that the app's search is broken, but your mobile browser works perfectly fine with both Google and the xda website - I can't remember if the forum's web search works, but including "xda" in your Google search will ensure that most results are from the forum (the others will predominantly be posts on other forums that refer to xda, so even those can be worth checking - they might include a link to the answer you're searching for). I can guarantee that using that method almost completely eliminates the need to post most questions (because the sheer number of people online makes it highly unlikely that any of us ever have questions that haven't already been asked by someone else) - that's how I managed to root my first smart phone (OG Epic), flash several roms and recover from a few soft bricks using Odin, all before my first post on xda :thumbup: :)

Edit: I just went back in the thread for more information to help neuton, and saw that you were just told about searching the other day - people will start to notice that pattern, and that might just be the only way to stop getting help from the People (why would anyone want to help a guy that refuses to listen to anything he doesn't want to hear?). That irritates me, but in the spirit of the People I will give you the best route to fix your problem: first, check the md5sum on your download to make sure it matches the one listed on the download page (the link is in the OP, of course). Then make the necessary backups (I'm referring to apps, using titanium for example - no need for a nandroid of a bad install). Finally, go to recovery and do a factory reset, flash the room, then wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. This procedure probably won't reveal the cause of your phone problems, but it will eliminate it - I just did it yesterday and everything is working as advertised.

Mine worked fine when the volume mod was first introduced (3.07, if I recall correctly), but I opted for the middle-ground option when it became a choice in the installer for 3.08 so I don't know if you had a bad flash or if there really is a new bug in 3.08. You said that you dirty flashed - have you tried a clean flash yet?

Update: I see that you did start with a clean flash... did you verify your md5sum on your download? Not all bad downloads cause boot loops and other fatal errors (very rarely does a bad download mean that every single file in the zip got corrupted) - maybe the corrupted files in your copy of the zip only pertain to the loud volume mod... So if your md5sum didn't match perfectly, redownload the rom and try again (dirty first if you prefer, but be prepared for another clean flash if necessary)

New Battery Tool

Hey all,

Our Morphology pal OlliG just dropped his latest masterpiece...Go over there, download the tool, and thank him!

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Thanks for both the thoughts and the "backup" so to speak. I cannot agree with your posts more...

One thing I can say about KennyGlass123 is that he has always been VERY accommodating to almost all comers. If you recollect and go back to the days of the OG Epic, people were hacking and cutting that poor rom up too, including me!

Fast forward to "nowadays", both XDA and end users want even more, it is unfortunate that so many folks expect and demand almost instant gratification and DO NOT want things the way they are. Heck, there are even lists of rules that tell users don't come here just to make your phone look cool, but most of us enjoy making it do so. And we do learn as we do it too.

That being said...the following is not instigated by anything or any one post or person in this specific thread, just so you know ;)

What bugs me the most about this whole thing? And I am serious here...

People who don't use search, or try to blame the XDA app for not being useful...CRAP! I say!

People who cannot click the thanks button. Most of us are not thanks whores... heck FlastNoles11, CajunflavoredBob and I have posted/laughed publicly about thanks whores and I even used to beg for thanks just

not

to get them (the good old days) ;).

BUT,

I/We/Contributors/Themers/Moderators/Developers do appreciate thanks

when I/we have made a bonafide contribution and or the post brings value to the thread, even if it is just a humorous post and helps to alleviate anxiety for users, (just how I roll anyhow).​

Users who choose not to learn from the posts made and/or the files posted. I personally cannot stand folks who want to post about needing this and that and never try to do anything themselves, and then, never thank anyone when it gets done for them. I get tons of PM's from users who do (and I applaud them), but the "takers" outnumber the "doers" 3 to 1.

Users who use a post to be critical about a feature they don't use or don't like. No one cares if you don't use or like it, move on.

Users who don't read to learn and/or only read the post just before theirs. Kind of tied to the search issue. But you gotta read! They do still teach that in school, don't they?

OK, rant over...

If you take anything from this ...the most important thing is to

USE the SEARCH FUNCTION!

I am not here to make a big debate or argument. I don't think asking for a stock theme is insulting at all. It can be looked in the opposite way that we like the way the ROM performs and it's features so much that we will run it, even though it's not to our visual liking. I am greatly appreciative to Kenny for his hard work and Naddict for his assistance in making a stock look. The support I've seen so far here has been amazing and far superior to that in the EVO LTE forums overall, so I am very impressed and grateful.

At any rate, I think many of us don't know what's involved to have an aroma option stating stock theme or modified. If it is relatively simple and enough interest was there for it, I don't think it would be a big deal.

Again, I apologize if I came off insulting. Certainly not my intention. New to the GS3 forum and just trying to see what ROM will best suit me.

Good day all! :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mahootzki:
First I gotta say, that in the 3 or so years that I've been rooting my phone, I don't think I have ever been as long on a rom as I've been on this one! So huge kudos to you all involved and keep up the amazing work.

I also have to give a big kudos to the people in this thread, for not flaming anyone extensively if they make a mistake, this is a real nice thread to take part of with a great atmosphere..

Now after searching for a few weeks and making some research and try to figure out an issue I've been having before posting, I just figured out what my issue is and how someone can help me.

I have an issue with voice input that it doesn't work at certain times timer and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out why over the day it didn't work and morning and night it did. I just figured out that that it doesn't work with Bluetooth on at all and that's the problem when I have bluetooth on (which is over the day when I'm connected to my headset...) it doesn't work and when I close bluetooth it does. I searched and couldn't find any settings that would make this happen, is there any way anybody can help me out with this I would really really appreciate it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
My voice input works fine with my Samsung 870 bluetooth headset, so it may be a particular setting or issue with your model. I hit my bluetooth button and the svoice lady asks what would you like to do and I say call xxxxxxx and bam it dials.

And thank you for the kind words.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thanks Naddict for that but let's not beat up The People too bad. We have come to be known as the ROM for The People, by The People and of The People. You guys have spoiled the crap out of everybody and that is awesome. Perhaps if someone made a thread or posted here the steps to go through Morphology and make a real stock look for those that want it, that would help.

Yes, I have had a rough few days but been here reading all this everyday as you may notice by a thanks here and there I put in.

One last thing though is the whole "can't search on mobile app" thing is crap. You have one of the greatest phones made to date. In the thread hit a post, options pop up. One of them is view in browser or something similiar, then on this wonderful samoled display zoom into search this thread and post what you are looking for.

Thanks to all The People for your support and all those that graciously give of their time helping out The People.

Oh...and my GF says "How 'bout them Ravens!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mahootzki:
Thanks for the response

My issue is not with SVoice or with Google now, my problem is when I try to use voice input on my keyboard (not one in particular, all of them)

Also, my issue is not only with the Bluant Q2, it's with whichever one I connect to, or even when I just open bluetooth without connecting to anything.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
I appreciate the feedback styles. But I think the way you stated it was uncalled for.

However after getting the help I needed and saw the thread kenny started on the sdcard issue I found out my problem and that I wasnt the only one affected.

As to the sound issue I had, yes it was a clean install and nothing wrong with the download. The volume rocker didn't control all the volume options by default with the extreme loud option in the installer. However going to just the loud install the volume rocker works just like it should
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
I double checked my response, and while I don't see what was wrong with my tone I do want to apologize for whatever it was that offended you - my only guess is that it was some residual irritation from the other guy's search problem... That doesn't make it right, but I do want you to know that I was not irritated with you in any way.

So it sounds like you have confirmed the issue and found a workable temporary fix - we all appreciate that input, especially the fact that you already found a fix and shared it with the rest of us :)

So again, sorry for the misunderstanding. No hard feelings?

Now, Revere was right on with his helping suggestion...

you have superSU working and installed correctly? right?

Delete the tether app from your phone, reboot download a new copy of the app (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735), install the app (and read this thread about proper settings and/or any issues) ;)

Go into settings of the app and go to device selection choose S3 (driver reload #2 works for me) and it should work.

Don't forget that you need to reboot after you delete the tether app before downloading and installing the new one.​

And, really bud, try to read a little and/or search first, it really helps. Good day! :o

but once i put the phone to sleep (with the Swiftkey board up).. then wake the phone (using either "home" or "power" button) to respond to text...

there is NO predictions given. I have to either rotate the screen or close the keyboard/ reopen keyboard... to get the predictions.
