I am using the default music that came with the rom. I am going to reflash 3.16 and see if it does it also. I just did a clean flash again and instead of kt I picked stock but still the same issue. I am going to try 3.16 and see then if the same issue I will try it at home on my head phones and see. If it works then its the cable here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
I don't have any issues with 16. Except for the theme changes what else will I gain from 17? Maybe I missed it on the OP but I couldn't see a change-log. I don't really want to do a clean install. Is it a ***** with a dirty flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If you did clean flash to 16 you should be able to flash 17 right over it. F you did not clean flash then it is recommended. 3.17 has some lock screen issues addressed, has some changes in multiview, some framework fixes etc.....

Thank you :good: . Worked perfectly to add all the apps and then remove what you down't want. I did have to reboot to make it work, but that's okay, Sundays are my day to do my nanoid backup anyway!! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I never do a clean install. But what I do though is keep backups of my favorite stable roms (TPR happens to be one of them) and restore the specific rom and reboot. I then install the update with just wiping the caches. In this way there's no need to use any of those backup apps. This method has worked for me so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That's great if it's just rom upgrades and developer upgrades. But in this case this was a different build from Google/Sammy/Sprint going from MB1 to MD4 since the are framework changes done by the developer it is hight recommended to do clean install. For Instance the way lockscreen loads and defaults was completely changed by Kenny/Rompnit other things which previously where mods to make them work are now inclusive with the MD4 release. That's when issues arise and your Novice flasher runs into trouble. Most of us here are Dirty flashers but when you hear Kenny and The People's testers saying to do a clean install it would be wise. Just some FYI ;)

First I want to thank those who were helping me...and then apologize lol it turned out the cable for the speakers were in the wrong spot lol. After I fixed that the earphone plug was working correctly.

And I have to say out of all the roms and even the previous tpr this 3.17 with kt kernel is the best. What difference in battery life I have now...thanks to kenny and all the devs. Great job
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
It could be something kernel related. Grab the kernel cleaner floating around here, flash that and reflash kernel of choice right after, or reflash and try a different kernel.

Edit: I see you fixed it...pffft...wires...how quaint! LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Happy Mother's Day to any Moms among The People and to all the wives/GFs that are moms that allow you all to keep flashing all these great things to our phones!

Don't know why but the rest of my last post didn't make it on here.

So let me try again, this is best ROM ever. And MUCH thanks go out to the developers, complirrs, testrs, fixers, and everybody who helps this rom stay on top of the food chain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
For those that dirty 3.16 and 3.17 do NOT post any issues until you do a clean. The last several pages has a people from the TPR testers and the Dev of this fantastic ROM saying you must do a clean to 3.16 or to 3.17. If you cleaned to 3.16 you are good to dirty till recommended again when a major changes happens again.

Glad you got it fixed. Just a FYI the wifi issue might of been if you choice no kernel. We all have issues with wires at times LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
If they don't post issues even from a dirty install, what will we talk about? Football? Too soon! Skinny Jeans? Too old! USB Debugging? Too Bunny!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Speaking of usb debugging, what drivers do you guys use for adb? I'm working on a port and I cannot get my device to show up in adb for the life of me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I have had best luck just removing drivers and then let Windows Update find them. Make sure USB debugging is checked and use the ports directly on a motherboard (in the rear of a desktop) or remember which port you used on a laptop to load the drivers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Hmm ok, I installed the official drivers but that didn't work too well. Naked drivers were better but my device still wouldn't show up as it booted.

Anyone here willing to try and get me a logcat as the port boots? Would be much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but samsung switched the default USB connection from MTP to Camera, when you plug it in pull down the dropdown click on USB connection and switch it to MTP.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
The port gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen at the moment, so I don't yet have that option

I was able to get a logcat exactly once....I think, I fixed the issue and I rezipped but now adb won't show my device at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramer:
I just noticed today something strange. When you plug in a thumb drive via a USB-OTG cable, the phone now sees it as a keyboard/mouse. I think this is related to MD4 as it used to (MB1) see it as a drive. It still works as it should though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:

Possible to install this rom without any theme customizations? Or a way to revert back to stock theme without having to install something like morphology?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
No. There are some files in post 2 to remove spidey dropdown and spidey themed multiview. There is a stock deodexed rooted ROM by Freeza if you want stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
There was a big enough change to warrant the recommendation. The dev himself loves the dirty but had to clean this one. Just saying the people have been informed and should adhere to the recommendations. Not looking for the "well I didn't clean and it works fine" it actually isn't helping us with driving the point home that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND to clean. If ANYONE dirty and it works great please keep it to yourself not trying to get into a pissing match over this. Everyone has been warned the first question we are going to ask is dirty or clean and depending on answer the level of help you will get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orlzzt:
Just my 2 cents...

It pays to do the MD5 checksum verification once you download to ensure all is kosher. I had 3 instances of bad or incomplete downloads with 3.17, ALL relating to the connection (thanks, crappy hotel wi-fi)

Doing the MD5 check takes no time and is worth doing.

+1.....but then again if users are like me, who flashes stable roms only, then this thread will suffer "premature" extinction.;)

I've dirty flashed from 3.15 to 3.16 to 3.17 with no issues. The only update that gave me some issues was when I dirty flashed 3.16A. What was in it anyway:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Look, it is OK to just wipe caches and flash dirty BUT you may get unexpected issues from incompatible data. Then you need to back up and flash clean which is a factory data reset or wipe to get rid of everything in the data partition to verify if your issue is ROM caused or data caused. The only way to be really clean (but not needed) is to format /system and /data before flashing. People that flash dirty and are happy..cool! You know we are just looking out for The People and want to maintain the reputation of the most stable ROM out there.

CNex is right; it is one of the steps you must take if you want to avoid issues after flashing. Anytime someone posts "d/l'ed and flashed, now stuck in bootloop" or "won't boot past Sammy splash"... first question is, did you check MD5?

I had this happen, as I said, recently. Even though my downloads showed "complete", they were not the same size as the upload file and the MD5 confirmed they were bad downloads. Had I wiped data (there's that "W" word again!) and flashed, my phone would have frozen or soft bricked and then I would have had to nand back... no fun!

Like I said in my post; simple enough to do, and saves you pain and aggravation down the road. But to each his own. And as every OP states; "Flash at your own peril"!

Accidentally upgraded.

I accidentally upgraded the OTA update from version 3.14. Now I'm stuck at the TW recovery, tried re-installing TPR 3.14 but to no avail. It threw an error. I made a backup before going from stock root to 3.14 but don't know how to recover from that. Can someone help me get the phone back up and running?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Huh? OTA updates should just fail. Looks like all you have left to do since you did not back up after installing TPR is to either restore your old back up and flash 3.14 over that or wipe data factory reset and flash 3.17. The failure to flash could either be corrupted data or failinf sd card.
