Format everything except your external and/or internal storage. Then flash the 3.17 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
Kenny, on the subject of which order, Titanium Backup has a feature to create an update.zip of your apps that can be flashed in recovery. After doing a factory reset, would you recommend to flash the rom, reboot, and then go back into recovery to flash apps, or can they both be done at the same time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
If you must restore 3rd party apps that way rather than fresh downloads and if it is not restoring any system data then you should be able to flash before rebooting to prevent them from automatically being downloaded....but as always YMMV.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
Understood. I've never tried it yet, and of course I would never restore system apps. I'm not a gluten for punishment :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clothednblack:
The titanium backup flash thing only installs the app itself so you don't have to open market and download the app then restore your apps. It doesn't flash all your backed up apps. This feature is incase you don't have a signal and want to restore all your stuff right on the spot after flashing a rom or whatever.

Just FYI :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
Beg to differ. You have the option to backup app+data, app only or data only. You also can choose which apps to backup. IMHO, this would be useful if done just prior to a factory reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clothednblack:
I understand that and use it often, but I have never seen an option to just flash all your apps back to the phone. Creating a update zip for tibu only flashes the tibu app, not all your apps. If I am wrong then please tell me how, I would love that option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
You're looking in the wrong place. Tap the checkmark in the upper right corner of the main screen, then scroll down to Recovery Mode. Where you're at is to backup TB only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rhodiggah:
I believe it's under the batch action (check mark, top right) and then run recovery mode and check the apps you want zipped.

Which makes me wonder - Under what circumstance does one use it? I can't imagine a scenario where I simply wouldn't reboot. Sometimes with Linux I will logoff instead of restart but my computer time to reboot is a lot longer and with Android the only time I seem to reboot is to change my battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
I have never used it. It is either straight reboot / recovery or off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Hot reboot is primarily for when you want to force trigger graphical changes you may have made, it restarts all android apps and services without actually pulling the plug

It's great if you get into theming and making overlays

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 1afly:
+1 and thanks this would be a nice addition.

1) A couple of things... Earlier it was asked what is the best kernel? I love Ktooonz... I loose about 2%/hour when the phone is in standby (phone on, screen off, BT on, 2 bars of 3G, Wifi Off w/ screen off) and that is pretty freaking impressive I would say. The other day I flew from ATL-TUS and I lost 1% (yes 1% in 3.5 hours while in airplane mode). No over/under clock or volt. I'm running 1) Lock frequencies at 384/1512 I/O Skd = SIO w/ no adjustments and Powersave for CPU GOV with no adjustments. My screen off profile gov is also powersave and I set options to start on boot.

Heads up... I was messing around with Google Wallet and left the NFC on (Menu/Settings/More Settings) the other day... I was loosing like 10-12% /hour and I was racking my brain to figure out what changed... and yep NFC (on my phone at least) draws about 8-10% more battery/hour.

Keep in mind I have only 2 e-mail accounts 1 - every 4 hours and the other once a day and no twitter/FB/ETC ETC

2) Any chance someone could mod the ROM to turn on the speakerphone when you flip the phone over face down (just like HTC EVO does?)

3) Any chance someone could mod the ROM to allow more than 10 recipients in text messaging (also like HTC EVO) This is a huge drawback IMHO of the S3.

Thanks in advance!

-Disable the Home Button Lag Hack :http://d-h.st/9vc

Is it Group Messaging? The way android handles that is you'll first get like a fake notification from who originated the message, then you'll get the actual MMS of the group text. They'll both appear at the top of your text inbox, it's weird.

My first custom rom upgrade went smoothly - that Aroma installer makes the basic CWM flash seem so primitive, lol

I figured TPR would be the best choice for a stable first custom experience, because Kenny is diligent about choosing well-tested mods and making sure they all play nicely together before releasing a new version to The People :)

TPR gets my seal of approval - it's perfect for anyone who wants a low-maintenance custom rom that just works :thumbup: :D

You're seeing Polaris Office Viewer, which can't edit documents (the full office suite can). It would make sense if it was bundled with the full office app in aroma, but if you don't need editing capabilities then it's also nice to be able to view those document types without installing the much larger package :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruckstande:
So the viewer comes pre installed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
It's been in every TPR I've used since around 3.14-ish, whenever I stopped installing the full package (there was a newer version, but for some reason the update didn't work). I don't know if it's a stock app because I didn't stay stock long enough to find out, lol

I don't what you did from 3.14 to 3.17, but this is fu@*ing great. Smoothest it's ever been and battery life on the stock kernel is noticeably better. Some of the improvements could be due to it being a clean install, but I'd rather give you the credit.

Only thing I'd like to change is the Spiderman tab on the multi window. Haven't bothered to look for a solution, yet, as it is a minor deal to me.

noobish question

Hi all,

I was a fairly active flasher with my EVO 4G, but found the stock Galaxy S3 to be fairly satisfying. Until this week. So I've been tinkering around for a few days and I think I've found the ROM for me. This has worked really well so far. It has the bells and whistles I want and so far, so off FCs or other digital puke.

My question: when I installed the ROM, I chose several apps and options that I realize now I don't want/need. These options (nova launcher as an example) cannot be uninstalled from the Application Manager. If I run a "dirty flash" and choose to not include them, will they be removed? Or am I stuck with them (aside from freezing with TB or similar)?

Thanks for the great work...this is a solid ROM. I like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Dirty flash will do it or uninstalling with Titanium.

Hi, new to this ROM, and have a quick question. (And yes, I did a quick search so sorry if I missed the answer somewhere in the 600 pages of this thread). I'd like to get rid of the Spidey theme, and downloaded the appropriate zip from Post #2. When I attempted to flash through custom recovery, it did not work and aborted. Can somebody please verify if this zip should be working, and if not, offer advice on how to get back to a more standard looking lockscreen and dropdown background? I like spidey as much as the next guy, but I'm actually running this ROM on my work line...

Thanks in advance for any help...

Using kt kernel. No tweaking so i guess i'm using default settings. I don't know what governor it's using. default i guess. stock battery.

My usage patterns are pretty consistent day to day. Assuming all things (usage patterns) being relatively equal i guess screen time would be a good way to measure (should i use something else?). So for me to go from a little over 3 hours screen time on average before battery is drained to over 5 hours screen time prior to battery being drained represents a significant and measurable increase for me.

Also, and more important for me, i noticed that instead of plugging in the phone for a recharge soon after work, I am now plugging in right at bedtime. That makes me smile! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
This is not quite true the kernel settings yes MUST be on kt747 but the tk mod can be used all the time. Renaming touchwiz files and the build.prop tweaks are pretty universal :) as for the governors etc there are many presets available from the op and they are always willing to answer questions.
