1) Thank you, Kenny, for MD4 sweetness.

2) Your girl is beautiful, and we are all grateful that she is doing well! More good times to come!

3) Thanks to our friend k0nane for stopping by, enlightening us, and for putting up the mirror of 3.16.

4) Thanks to Taz and all the other People for mirrors, and for continued support.

Heading out west this week to Houston (aka "TexasEpic4G Country"). Or as we say, "No Country For Old Men", of which I am certainly proud to be one! Will report back on performance.

Hope all The People have a great and safe week!

It's worth noting that my links are: 1) direct 2) unlimited 3) fast as f*ck. Check back to my prior post, mirror 2 is up, and I'd suggest it be your mirror 2 (or mirror 1, with my primary being primary - I can handle your traffic!). ;) I can provide stats (at least for k0nane.info) later, if you care for them. With all of my recent uploads, my bandwidth use will be up high.

I swear my phone hates me lol.. I just did a clean install, I wiped cache, dalvik and even did factory reset and still I got the system/app/app folder with the weather widgets in there and not in /app

Also I looked but can't find where the sprint optimazer menu went to as the settings page has been completely changed in MD4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Any reason why the lock screen on 3.16 is AOSP and not TouchWiz? Can you switch back to TouchWiz or can you customize the AOSP lock screen? The options for shortcuts in the settings menu refers to the TouchWiz lock screen.

Edit: Weird. The lock screen was set to stock by default but was using the AOSP lock screen. I selected another lock screen then chose stock and all is good now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
I think kenny made aosp as default cause people were having issues with there phone locking up cause of ripple effect from tw. But u should be able to go back to tw just uncheck aosp in lock settings

if anyone is still awake...pls help me out with some solutions. I did a clean flash of 3.16 and all was working well. I took my phone out of my pocket and now the touch screen isnt working, the screen is frozen (the clock has not changed in 40 minutes), but the power button works. If I removed the battery and put it back in....it boots right up to the lock screen and wont let me out. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PDXunicorn:
Is ripple effect checked while using a different lock screen other than stock

Its whatever is the default. I havent changed a thing yet.

The konane link took 2hr, i just used the original dl link and got it in about 35min.

Multiview used to give me all my apps as a choice, but this up date only gives me a handful, anyone know why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Added all my most used apps to multiview! Never thought I'd really use it, but it's already been useful, starting to really like it actually!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
You can add them yourself, not hard to do... navigate to system/csc and look for the file features.xml (I did all this with root explorer) open it and look for multiview, add the package names of the apps you want to add.. rio find the package names of the apps, navigate to data/app and you will see with them... most start with com. Make sure you leave out -1.apk, that's not part of the package name ;)

update is a reflashed and it is working...like it was working before...hopefully itll last. keep everyone updated. Tks for all of the replies
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -SpeedofSound-:
I just had the same exact problem too. Was working great and then all of a sudden it froze. Did battery pull even booted into recovery and cleared davlik and cache....same issue when I booted it back up. So I flashed back to 3.15 and my phone is working fine. I really liked the look of 3.16 but guess I will wait until this issues is fixed before I try it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oldpreowner:
Try using a different recovery. I was on twrp and had the same problem as you. I then flashed cwm recovery and it is working fine now. I tried flashing several times with twrp and it would boot once then after a reboot got stuck. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Read and see what helped the other user. Because there is no issue it's something with your device or the way your doing something. There's been hundreds of downloads and several of us have been using 3.16 for a couple of days.

If I'm understanding you correctly you have to move then out of system/app/app folder to the system/app. That's what I did and its working fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] neuton:
Well this time I did a restore of apps from ti...but I had to manually move them before also. However that small issue should of been fixed in a previous build lol....maybe certain phones have issues with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruckstande:
Because I have yet to try it on my s3 I must ask. Is there any reason why I shouldn't wipe everything including internal sd? I want a completely clean install and remove any orphaned files. Just wondering before I go and dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
No reason at all that's the cleanest there is but make sure you don't wipe where you have your rom stored for flashing. Usually wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset will suffice.

Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ruckstande:
That would be hilarious. I only ask because with AmonRA and my EVO 4G I used to completely format and repartition my SD card with every wipe just to be clean. I still don't know if I can do that with TWRP. Thanks.

Sounds like a bad download...

It was doing the same thing to me...

I also experienced it locking up when it auto rotated...

Wipes and permission fixes didn't help but only made it worse as I too was getting stuck on boot up and initial lockscreen...

Just remember.... WithTPR nothing is released unless it's stable....!!! I've been with TPR long enough to know that.

With that being said... I downloaded again and problems solved....

TPR rocks!

[EDIT] : also learned flashes are reliable even if done dirty!.. New download dirty flash... Now 3.16 flawless....

Redownload the rom, verify the MD5, wipe dalvik, cache, and do factory reset. Flash rom. Do not use any backup program to restore anything. Let Google Redownload your apps. I guarantee it will work flawlessly. It really sounds like you have some bad data, or settings which you are restoring which are causing issues. What kernel are you choosing during Aroma install?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -SpeedofSound-:
Right on...thank you for your help. I do have cwm touch so I don't think that is an issue. I think the issue is I downloaded it to my phone directly and it automatically put it on my memory card. Then I flashed it. So I believe my issues come from either flashing it from my memory card or a bad download. At any rate, I am not giving up on it...LOL. I will try again today and report back...it should work and have no problems.

Thank again for your help my friend.

So don't use Tit backup, I have always used that... dumb question how do you use google for that, I have never used that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oldpreowner:
I am having the keyboard issue as well, had to use titanium to uninstall android keyboard. I use swype anyways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
When the phone first boots up you will sign into your google account, it will ask you if you want to have Google restore your phone, just make sure it's all checked off and it will do it. Make sure you have a wifi connection or lte when you do this. It can take some time depending on how many apps you have. There may be some data that you may need to restore from tibu but NEVER restore any system data or apps.

Yes this has been on going issue for many since MB1. Best thing is to remove it and use another keyboard. Or remove it and re download it from Play and install it again.

Clean install with CWM, restored no system apps, just restored my regular apps with titanium, everything seems to be working fine. Except when I reboot.

Sometimes when it reboots, the Samsung logo comes up goes to start the boot animation and then it reboots shows the Samsung logo again and then boots as regular. And everything works fine. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -SpeedofSound-:
Thanks my friend. I will retry today. I posted above what I thought my issues stemmed from so I will reflash todaybthe way I normally do with the rom on my internal memory instead of off of my memory card. I think because I just quick flashed it dirty lasy night right before bed is what screwed me...lol...I knew I should have just patiently waited until morning.

Sorry for my post too at so early in the morning before trying to fix it proper myself. I was in a bit of a panic because my wife had just taken my youngest to the emergency room for massive stomach pain and i stay home with our oldest who was still sleeping. So i was nervously pacing the house waiting for her text or call. Then thats when the phone decided to jack up as soon as she texted me to give me an update. I kept hearing the text chime but it would not let me get off the lock screen. My phone was close to me turning it into a projectile...lmao.

I have a bunch of experience from being on this forum so long...which I should have used...but at the time my mi d was elsewhere and I was in a bit of panic.

I apologize to everyone for my panic post...lol.

I will report back as soon as I get everything straightened out and it flashes good as I HAVE TO HAVE THE PEOPLES UPDATE...because the peoples rom is by far the best in the whole universe!!!!!

Cheers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Main thing is premium suite, and a lockscreen bypass issue was also fixed

Ive tried evetything yall have posted and so far ive had to go back to 3.15. 3. 16 doesnt start if it does the lockscreen is frozen solid or else its stuck on either starting apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thank you my friend for the lightning fast dedicated mirrors!

Looks like Rompnit pulled a fast one and removed the Optimizer. As it never really shut off anyway the option is to freeze it or now you can remove the apk without mobile networks FCing.

It is set to default with ripple off. All lockscreens are still there in options. This is to avoid people forgetting to disable ripple. No the AOSP shortcuts are not changeable without hard coding.

You are restoring it with TB that is why it keeps coming back.

My experience with 3.16 so far:

1) Read through all the comments here.

2) Being stubborn, did a dirty flash - Wipe cache and davik cache. Didn't work, phone seemed to be in a loop, flashing the notification bar only.

3) Reflashed, this time doing a factory reset. - Worked, but also being stubborn, especially since I paid for Titanium Backup and Nova Prime, did not let Google restore my apps and downloaded my key from playstore for Titanium Backup. It crashed on the Batch Restore screen, although Nova Prime did restore my settings.

4) So, restored my nanoid of 3.15. Looks like when I have more time, I'll have to factory reset, let google update my apps and "maybe" I'll be able to restore just data from Titanium Backup.

BTW, I'm using TWRP, can someone explain to me why the custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) should make a difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I have never used TWRP as I am from a time when we only had CWM and do not trust anyone but Koush with something as important as recovery. I use CWM touch now. The Meta.inf has not changed from these versions. It is possible one of the mirrors are bad though. Maybe those couple with the freezes can give details like which mirror, downloaded to phone or computer, which kernel, which recovery, clean or dirty, restored anything?

Been working beautiful for me and The People's Testers. 2 people have had an unusual freeze issue out of 400 downloads (or more). It may be a bad mirror, twrp, or some weird combination not seen yet.

2 Thanks Kenny and glad to see your girl is smiling:cool:

3 To people with problums please post logcats.or at lest tell us you checked the hash.

4 Just from my point of view when I read anybody (almost anybody) on a xda saying they have a problem with crashing or something doesn't work and they don't say that they verified the hash on whatever it is they flashed. I find it hard to believe they're having a real problem. Not that there a liar but just if they can't make that simple step why should I believe that theres something wrong with SAID flashable zip?

How to check md5

Still troubleshooting and working towards a solution but wanted to throw my experience up in case it helps the tiny handful who are having issues:

Using TWRP recovery, latest

Downloaded from k0nane's mirror, did complete wipe/factory reset, even formatted sd card after copying all to my computer for backup.

Installed kernelcleaner from March to run scripts for cache, dalvik, permissions.

Installed with KToonsez kernel option

wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permissions, & rebooted

Never got past KToonsez kernel screen

Retried install with Stock kernel, same result but stuck at Samsung GSIII screen

Installed CWM Touch recovery from Naddict's thread, thank you!

Repeated all above steps

Same results

Am now downloading ROM from Kenny dev-host location

Will update and advise... I am thinking bad download as I did not verify MD5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
In my case, I downloaded last night to my PC using k0nane's mirror, verified md5 using hashcalc (verified twice, on PC and when I transferred to USB thumb drive to transfer to extSD with USB-OTG cable). I installed using stock kernel, I first installed TPR with 3.14 and tried all the kernels, only the stock kernel would mount my 32 gb microSD (formatted fat32). From my first failed attempt, I agree 100% that a CLEAN install is necessary. I'm going to do it again in awhile and let google download my apps. Just crossing my fingers that I can install the data from a hand full of apps using TB.

BTW, the OP still says a dirty flash is okay, maybe it should be changed?
