Step-by-step fix

Starting from Scratch

#1: restore your previous rom and be sure Darthstalker rom zip file is on internal sd card.

#2: install TWRP using Goomanager from google play store (free app)

#3: open Goomanager and press menu key & select OpenRecoveryScript

#4: select reboot to recovery option in Goomanager or use the power menu

#5: select WIPE and wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and System then do a Factory Reset

#6: then go back in TWRP using home icon or back icon

#7: select INSTALL and find the "DARTHSTALKER S3 EDITION VERSION #7" zip file

#8: after selecting "DARTHSTALKER S3 EDITION VERSION #7" zip file flash the rom

#9: after flashing select "wipe dalvik" again then Reboot System

After doing this, have patience and wait until the phone is done booting.

When it's done booting wait until the menu and back leds on the phone turn off.

Once the leds turn off reboot the phone and the problems you described will vanish.

Good luck!

My play store and mms texting is fine. When you install v7 make sure you wipe cache, dalvik cache, and format /system. The latter is very important ! Also try fixing permissions after doing the above. As a last resort, wipe the cache and force close the market and MMS applications
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrbmg:
Try clearing app data and cache for google play store app and maps.

A very useful site that helped me to manually enter a user agent string into the plug in / add on within my browser : www.useragentstring.com (go to it from your browser on the devices not your computer/laptop and copy it. Then paste that string manually into the "User Agent Switcher" in Firefox or Chrome. This one is what I use inside Firefox:

"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Firefox/17.0.1"

(obviously no quotes)....As I have pointed out in many other threads...its a TMO server side thing that checks the OS info...so no ROM mods work TOTALLY because the

TMO servers sniff the OS details out and then guess what is displayed...yep the UP Sell page. Hope this helps few other people that REALLY want tethering/hotspot for free.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
thanks for the info totally missed that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
Any adfree apps working on v7 from market?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ToledoG28:
Just passing by to thank you for this rom. It seems to be more battery friendly. Let enjoy it for a couple weeks. Ill report later. Btw...4.2 camera is amazing fast!! Thanks again! Merry christmas bro. :thumbup::thumbup:;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gmanhad:
I use adfree android by bigtincan from the market. It's free, and works for me on every rom I flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
On the Red Hue no biggie.... I was changing the Lock Screen to a Dark color when I noticed it. Then just switched it back and as stated has this cool look when the Note wallpaper. Also want to report with the actual Full Stock Kernel in place it seemed my connection was far better while at work. I leave my phone on WCDMA to get a better connection during the day.

Great Rom snappy as they might say...:D

PS. When the ROM firtst booted I thought Crap another reversion of stock... NOT AT ALL... Going to keep this one for sure. I liked a few others yet had issues with Mod Kernels ....:good:

SideKick did you use TiBu to remove All share, Accuweather, Yahoo, and how about VM ( I use Gvoice) ? Wasn't sure if this would mess anything up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheSleezkIng:
just got my S3 fews before Xmas and this the first rom i threw on,freakin excellent and already a V7?! Great work guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
One of the beauties about TBpro is that you can just freeze apps to test "consequences". Find that you still need that app, just defrost it. Sometimes works way better than deleting or pulling them from /system/app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
Woodrude thank you... I did just that and seems all good. So far not a consequence on any of them. So will see how this goes. I was just more curious if taking them out would hurt at all...Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrbuddhasr:
Great ROM. I'm loving how fast these updates are rolling out. Not enough time to enjoy previous update and another one rolls out. By far the best ROM I have tried out. Nothing against other devs I'm all about simplicity and this ROM is it for me. This ROM can be discontinued and I'll stick rock out with it. Thank you for an amazing ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pinoy724:
Adaway works as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pedroisweird:
Jovy could you please make it so you hold the back arrow to kill and hold menu to search doesn't get changed. Seems more intuitive to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pinoy724:
Just wanted to say thanks again Jovy for the awesome ROM. Running Nova Launcher and it's still fast as hell. Here's a pics of my home screen. What do you guys think? Happy New Year everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] woostar88:
I have a man crush on you now. I am now coming out of closet. I love you man. I am serious about it. Lol thank you for your hard work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] This_dude:
Best Face

Hey Jovy,

I figured out what's wrong with the best face feature. Since I have my external sd card as my storage, when I choose best face it doesn't change the storage to phone for the burst shots. So the quick fix for now is to manually change the storage to phone before choosing the feature.

Thanks for an awesome ROM!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tylerholbrook:
Yeah it works now thanks. Weird maybe just had to let the ROM settle

Lockscreen issue

When you set the lockscreen the picture comes up with a red tint and is there any way to fix it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
Its known bug. He said he will fix on nxt update
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bbobarino:
For boot animation on this ROM works great using myself

Sent from my TRANSFORMER TF101 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Glad your enjoying it man! ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
I havent had any issues either! Its working perfectly on my side but lets see what i can do for the next update to make the rom even better ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Wow thats nice! I cant wait until once it hits that 100% mark. Good job on that!!! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] qais9:
Loving this ROM! 1 issue I have is battery drain. Running the stock kernel with juice defender on and I still lost over 30% overnight. GPS is off, auto sync Is off. Any ideas??

Do I need to change hw overlay or gpu rendering?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Yes there is a couple of issues with the note 2 camera that im aware of i have to check what can be the problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_F_Word:
I have a little over 3 hours of screen time and battery is at 41 this is my second cycle :) personally I never went over 4 hours with screen time.... looks like im about to beat my personal record!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
The back arrow cannot be changed since multiwindow functions with that. Its a pretty hard process but multiwindow will be coming sooner rather than later once its fully working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Nice setup !!!! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Lmao!!! And your welcome bro enjoy the rom...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
I havent gotten any battery drain in none of the updates especialy on #7. You must have an app running in the background check to see what app is eating up your battery. And also make sure you go thru a couple power cycles.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] camineroga:
Cant wait for the next update, excited face....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
Jovy really loving this ROM man. I was showing my friend a function to take pic while in call ; with proud ;)

On next update can you please add bootanimation support and ad free by default rom function please

:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Flash this zip to enable custom boot animation. Then use bootanimation.zip in /data/local and set permissions to rw--r--r https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8MbX7lPcenNbzBKNzFHd3JfVE0/edit (I don't remember where I got this flashable zip from but I used it on mine)

Also ad blocking is an easy app download. I personally prefer to patch my host file with an ad block script
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alix0056:
This is the best ROM since I left Frosty and the updates are making it better each time. The red hue is awesome and I saw a few positive posts about it, I hope it stays. The only problem I have is in Clockworkmod recovery, fixing permission doesn't analyze every single app and it take seconds instead of minutes like I'm accustom to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
You can use the ROM manager's "fix permissions " function, it is extremely thorough
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chocolatet:
I am unable to change the CPU settings usings CPU tweaks or no frills cpu. is anyone able to do so
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] slyguysam:
Anyone else having issues changing the lockscreen wallpaper? I can change my home screen wallpaper but my lockscreen wallpaper will only change to those in the "Wallpaper" section not from the gallery. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaliscojorge:
I was able to change it with the 3d gallery. I just chose it to do the cropping and it changed it. The other gallery just generated the cropped file but didn't change the lockscreen.

How do i get kies back?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Kies

Download Kies from the play store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rolf90:
If i replace the Note cam with the S3 cam would I still have the capabilities of using the cam while on a call?? and I will also change the gallery I really want to try this Rom out..using wicked v5 now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahoodood:
I, Too am having problems changing the lockscreen wallpaper.

I tried using the 3d gallery to change the background, but that did not do anything.

Are there any other fixes available?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Urbanrootz:
:good:@jovy23 - OK so i didn't think this ROM could get any better, but ever update I find something more that I love about this ROM, it is the most stable, functional & buttery smooth ROM to date thus far that I have tried.

Kudos

for that mate - The New Note additions are great, but as I notice that you are aware of the minor hiccups with the CAM & Gallery, nothing crazy, I'm experiencing a bit of lag when loading that gallery, CAM tends to freeze at times. Battery is still great with stock kernel - Tried Ktoonsez kernel, great Kernel, but fell short of the stock one, in terms of battery life -

Keep up the good work - Cheers -
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zonly1:
I don't see any problem at all changing the lock screen. I've done both the lock screen and wallpaper and then just the lock screen with no issues. I just came from Wicked...did a full wipe, etc. Did you guys happen to dirty flash or something? You are using the "yellow gallery"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SebasC:
Lock screen rotation ability to turn that off by any chance??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
is anyone having issues when seeing youtube for and extended period of time?if im seeing youtube for say an hour like seeing a movie my phone freezes and reboots on its own ive tested this with other roms and only happens with this rom.i really like the smoothness of this rom its the smoothest ive tried except for that youtube issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ant2wan:
Yes my phone randomly freezes with any app for a period of time. And then i take out the battery but hapoening onlybwith version 7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
thanks good to know it wasnt just me having a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Not me. Did you dirty flash? Fix permissions in ROM manager
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_F_Word:
Yeh I been on YouTube all day and no reboots... though I do have lag but im sure its my wifi ...

I mean I live with wifi draining, online ps3 playing, old downloading 20 videos in one hour, type hogs!!! Lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
i never dirty flash and yes tried fixing permissions and cache and dalvik and problem still persists.it only occurs when watching youtube for a long length of time such as a movie .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bbobarino:
no issues at all with youtube or any long viewing app. Watched a hole movie not 1 freeze. Is the people having problems with viewing youtube for a long period using wifi or 4g?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
im using wifi but i dont think that would explain freezing or phone rebooting on its own
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] epik277:
Hey lovely rom everything good except my base band says t999uvlem and at my job I used to get 4g signals now I get G signals. Shouldn't it say t999uvdlja. I'm confused .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bbobarino:
lol my bad thats true i could see freezing but your right definitly has nothing to do a reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AnGeL_WiT_SiNs:
I wanna say thanks for this ROM.. This is the first ROM I flashed on my s3 ..I was debating on rooting my phone so I said what the hell ..the stock ROM was getting boring ..so i stumbled on this thread ..man and I must say ..silky smooth!!! Way better than stock ..just to throw it out there ..when on on the note 2 camera and I use the flash ..the camera seems to get stuck with the light on then it takes the picture ..no biggie just wanted to throw that out there ..thanks to the developer for this awesomeness!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 10cheesecakes:
whatever happened to Celes Arca??? Also, are all those 7 versions the same thing???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bbobarino:
thats strange mine says uvdlja did u do a dirty flash
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
Never got this score man. This is amazing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bofiana:
Unless you also flashed a different modem, that's the only reason your baseband would change. No ROM that is out there changes your baseband at all. Mine says uvdlja ever since I odin'd the new JB base and hasn't changed with any JB ROM that I've flashed.

On a side note.....Jovy, v7 is kicking a$$. No lagging, no FCs, nothing but pure smoothness. You've outdone yourself again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
Would have no clue WHY your model would change with this ROM it is built and designed as said for the T999 with Stock (pure) Kernel. I would redownload the ROM prior I would flash the actual modem for the phone. Look on the Developer list for the stock modem, flash that one doing all the good stuff of wiping and after wiping and fixing permissions. Let it sit and reboot a couple times and then go back in and do a full clean and wipe and just start over.

Just my simple thought on this...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] epik277:
I didn't dirty flash. I wiped everything and followed the install instructions. I'm gonna Odin jb again then flash again see what happens.

Two guys at the jib just bought s3's and they're not rooted. Definitely don't wanna be slower then theirs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
Hey Epik redownload the ROM again while your are at it...:good:

Hey when all else fails Odin it is...:laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] circuit.007:
just flashed this rom, getting used to it. But i noticed that the long slide, bigger text messages without converting to mms doesnt work. before it was a max of 3 pages and it still is now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lmarranzino:
JB Sammy Keyboard

Wanted to ask if anyone has or knows were to find the Zip for the Stock Samsung JB keyboard. I like the one with the ROM yet use to the other one.

Tried the one in OP it is I think the older one or ? Thanks

PS. This ROM rocks truly smooth and sleek.

Thanks

Push Notifications Problems?

I don't know whether I'm the only one, but I just flashed the most recent version of the ROM (#7) and it works great... except for push notifications. Gmail is the only one that works fine, but not Facebook, Facebook messenger, Google+... Any solution?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bofiana:
Push for gmail, email and FB are working great for me. U perform a full wipe before install? Wipe dalvik/cache?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Both galleries work for me setting wallpapers for both lockscreen and homescreen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
I have seen movies on youtube and i dont have any issues with it such as freezes or reboots.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
You have to flash the UVDLJA radio to see it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
then i dont know whats going on jovy its only happening to me with this rom and only with youtube,i believe someone else posted that they had freezes as well with youtube ive tested this on other roms and it only happens on this one.everything else is smooth im staying with this rom regardless.thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Thanks man glad your enjoying it. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
The baseband is the radio and no dev doesnt add that to their roms. People with at&t can flash our tmobile roms and if they had the radio in them they would get a bunch of problems which is why its not included.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
The stock jb keyboard is in the addons section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
Have you tried deleting the one i have in the rom and then download the one from the play store? Try that and then see if the problem still persist.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jovy23:
I have added the stock camera + gallery in the addons section if anyone wants to revert back to the stock samsung camera and gallery and also i have updated the volume/no volume wake mods so it doesnt break the ink effect now. Remember use these addons only for darthstalker and not for other roms unless its the keyboards or the revert clock to right because you will get a bunch of issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
i will try that now thanks jovy will report back
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gueyenono:
Yes, I did all that and even tried it again right now but it still does not work! :(

I love this ROM but this notification problem may cause me to change it :(

Tethering not working

I am still getting the browser redirects when I try to tether. Did a complete wipe of my device before installing but still can't tether, any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Magnumxxxl:
Is there a zip or something i can flash to get the vol music skip working?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] techboydino:
Thanks for the Rom, it is the only Rom I've used on this since running stock for about a week and I love it. I have a few questions that I could not find answers to or just could not understand....running included Kernel and no add-ons or mods.

Deep Sleep. Noticed in CPU Spy in the past 42 hours the phones been in Deep Sleep for only 25 minutes

What does the Task Manager App/Icon do? Shows up in my app drawer but says my device is not compatible with this app...?

2 cameras and 2 galleries. I know the Note 2 camera and gallery were added, is this just to give us the option?

Menu lag.Noticed a little lag when moving through system menus, most noticeable when opening the play store (using 3 dots upper right) from the app drawer.

sorry if some of this is repeat. Tried to get through most of the posts before asking but have not seen these answered in regards to later versions. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SebasC:
Any way to turn off rotating lock screen
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
RE: deep sleep - sounds like something is using your CPU in the background. I recommend "Battery Snap" as it shows all processes running on the phone. I had the same problem and found it was a runaway process. Enclosed CPU usage for last 16 hours.

Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
For what its worth I just watched Thor on Netflix and everything was smooth and copesetic. And I have never had a FC or reboot on Darthstalker #7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pedroisweird:
Hi Jovy, could you please make a flashable zip for the mod that helps you evade the data cap throttle? I'll love you forever :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I sent jovy my own personal darthstalker that i use, it flies off the handle. Maybe he will implement some of the changes in a later version!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] misael06:
Hows battery on this rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Average. A bit better than stock Twiz. Also depends on what kernel you use too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] viettho:
I got the same issue as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zonly1:
Did you install a theme? My lockscreen does not rotate, but it did on Color in High-Def theme using Wicked (before the theme was updated).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SebasC:
Nope Did it ever since first start..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] titaneds73:
JOVY i deleted the youtube app that came with the rom as you suggested and installed the one from the play store and no more freezing or reboots ,thanks for the suggestion should have thought of that myself.maybe something to do with the theming thanks again.

For some reason news 360 seems to keep getting errors on V7 ain't bring up any news, seems to be the only problem I'm having...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] southusc:
this is one of the best overall roms I have flashed in a long time. I personally don't care for the red hue like many in the thread do but overall it's a beast and can't wait to see how it can get better in future updates.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Wipe data on that app
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crazyfunky:
Regarding the red hue on lock screen. It adds an instagramy feel. Its not bad!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chocolatet:
Is anyone else having problems changing the CPU on this ROM I tried a different kernel and still no luck. Also I did do a clean flash as soon as version 7 dropped

Hey is there anyway you can make a seperate zip that doesnt flash the modem??? I have a WIND phone and this rom looks really neat, but unfortunately the modems are not compatible. There is a modem.bak file of my modem.. how would I go about applying that.. and also.. how can I remove those T-Mobile apps, the hotspot and whatnot icons... Titanium Backup...
