Running custom roms unrooted would probably result in a less than optimal experience. A great deal of the things that are baked into the rom require root to change in the OS as needed, such as certain settings, etc.

By some things will change, they are referring to the way that 4.2 handles folders and such. 4.2 supports multiple users, so seems to move your stuff into a "0" folder on your sd card. I believe that TWRP and most roms take this into account now when flashing so you don't end up with nested folders anymore, though I'm honestly not 100%.

If things like root, etc are your main concern you may want to consider either a stock rom or CM10 based rom for now. CM is lighter on features, and a bit heavier in code/not quite as quick, but I believe if you took away root it would function better. And 4.1.2 roms are a good bit more mature. If speed and features are what you want, then this rom is certainly strong enough to be a daily driver for most, in my opinion. There are ways around the root restrictions for company email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roose00:
Only had it up for a little. But incredibly impressed with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crashdau:
Thanks Derek. I've tried many ways of faking out the email program (Good for Enterprise) but it still pretty much catches it and wipes it out.

As far as my main concern, I'm just trying the various options out there. Have an itchy Flash Finger....so want to jump around. But, I'm very interested in 4.2 to see what the experience is like. I just may try it out anyway and see how it fits. Thanks for the info.

I'll keep reading a little more to see want everyones experience is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Damn this beta is flawless for me. And yes i know i've kinda disappeared for a while but i'm back :)

Anyways, GPS was an instant lock upon booting up, NFC is working (well it highlights but i have nothing to test it on at the moment), bluetooth is working as well. Hmmm what else, MMS works perfect as well. I haven't had any kernel related issues, no random reboots, no SOD, none of that bad stuff.

Oh and its smooth as water ;)

Another great release, by a great team :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
So are custom kernels working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
Oh I'm running cm10. I've flashed plenty of ROMs. Just never liquid smooth. And I didn't notice the text was messed up in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
I already asked twice, but no one answered, but I think you can answer this.

I'm a Korean, and no foreign language can be displayed on this rom.

Whether I'm in contacts or mms, or even internet, Korean language never show up.

I'm guessing it's any foreign language?

Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TURBO2012:
Thank you

tspderek, thank you so much for this stable rom. So far everything works for me, even NFC. At the begining some apps were crashing and freezing, so I immedialtely checked the dalvick.vm heapsize, heapstartsize and heapgrowthlimit in build.prop. Those values were too high. I changed to 64,16,64 and now apps doesnt crash. Now, everything works great. Thanks again.

TURBO

Can anybody that has been running the unofficial cm 10.1 comment on the signal strength of liquid vs it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
ROM works great. So far only one problem.. NFC fix didn't fix it. I flashed it.

Can someone please help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BHermes21:
Any body have the calendar in this version? Or am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
Don't thank me, thank liquid. I just do the social stuff (dg4prez is what i usually go by elsewhere, you'll find me on our FB and such.)

I've heard NFC works if you are coming from a VRBLK3 rom. I came from a K1 and it's working on mine as well. NFC has always been a challenge on this phone.

RIL is strongest on the K3 modem, too. We strongly recommend it. That can be flashed over at any point, as can the RPMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
Any special flashing I instructions for this?

Maybe I'm blind but how do I use photo sphere?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TURBO2012:
Just download it from play store "Google Calendar".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Not in these builds yet.

Also, tested out GPS on a drive, locked instantly and no problems with navigation. Also, signal seems fine. 4G not an issue and changing to 3G where I do not get 4G has not been a problem either. Also went back to 4G where is was suppose to. I did not run AOSP on this phone prior to this Rom so cannot compare to how it used to be but for the few hours today it worked like my TW rom would have worked in the different locations.

Here is a screen shot with adding the on-screen keys and running at 240dpi. Oh, if you want to laugh hard every day, follow the tweets of @itsWillyFerrell that I have at the top of my widget. I seriously laugh out loud all day from his tweets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Thanks :) I figured that was why, not like I use it Any ways lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
Can you flash this using twrp 2.3.1.0? I have seen the ? asked but I haven't seen a definitive answer. I ask because I updated twrp earlier today and flashed cm10.1 and had all kinda of problems that required an odin back to stock. Thanks in advance for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Check the post below....I am using the CWM from it but there is also a TWRP recovery there. I know the CM10.1 nightly that was out today had data issues though so not related to your recovery.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37316-protip-42-and-recoveries/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roose00:
I used TWRP. I think it is this build, but cant be entirely sure. No problems on my end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
Where is the option for on screen keys on this rom? Or is it another app?

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yoderz:
This instantly became my daily driver. Lovin' it.

I know most people probably don't give a crap about syncing Picasa and I understand why it's not included in the ROM, but is there a way to put it on? I've been using the program for years and have all my pictures uploaded to the Picasa web albums. It would be great to add it to the ROM, but by no means is it a deal breaker. I've heard that adding the GalleryGoogle.apk has worked for people on other ROMs, but not sure about this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Add to your build prop, then reboot:

qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
Sigh...

Apparently no one knows the answer to my question, or no one's really interested in answering my question.

So here is a REPORT, not a question anymore.

Foreign language don't display at all on this rom.

On the first boot, it doesn't give me the option to change the system language.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bL33d:
Low in call volume and speaker phone volume? Cm10.1 has low volumes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
It's still a beta rom so for now some things have been left out.

Also this is interesting

Data works fine though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
Thanks for the help. I will give CWM a go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nevs5:
question, what theme are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ImYoungxD:
Volume in calls does not change at all, speakerphone or no speakerphone. Always at the same volume.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

You might want to block your phone number...

I also got 0 dBm but i still had 4g working. I did network refresh and it's back to normal.

MOD EDIT: pic removed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
My speaker phone is very loud. Its awesome. In call volume.is still low but bearable. Lose phone number on reboot but if I wipe dalvik I get it back. Bluetooth can't seem to connect to my car either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apristel:
Can't wait to run this on my uscc s3! thanks liquid team
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cali4nia831:
Great Rom! Only bugs for me are Low in call Volume, and wifi hotspot gets stuck on "turning on" and doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wily5150:
This is a nice rom

I was wondering what kernel is compatible with this rom? For being a beta, this rom is smooth and stable. Awesome work guys and gals
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sanjsrik:
I've been running this and it is solid. Very nice work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Syndicate7:
Wow so amazing! My new Dailey:beer:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Absolutely awesome so far!! The only issue I'm noticing is my signal seems yo be pretty weak. Usually I'll have a full 4 bars on 4g and I'm only seeing 2. Also my WiFi seems to be down too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
Still waiting for help on the NFC fix. I flashed it but it didn't work..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm not up to speed on 4.2. But none of the zips worked for me on 4.1.2 based roms. What DOES work on 4.1 based aosp roms is backing up current rom, flashing or restoring a touchwiz rom, enabling nfc/s beam, restoring current rom. I just did this last night on eclipse rom, flashing the latest ky jb rom to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] killerT721:
Excellent rom! So smooth and fast. Only problem so far is a weaker signal for both data and wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SubliminalME:
Get used the that. That has been every non-tw rom on this phone since it was rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I've been running aokp for months and this is significantly lower on both WiFi and 4g. I know its a beta but I'm hoping that it gets better.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djj624:
For nfc did anyone try loading up a tw rom and enabling nfc then loading up 4.2. That worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dlrtyblrdz:
Does charging indicator work? ie, yellow/red when charging, green when full
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsilvertab:
The question now is how to get around the issue of everything being put in the '0' folder. I can't seem to access any of my files via MTP on my PC and ClockwordMod won't find any of my Rom backups to revert back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
Updated to cwm 6.0.1.9 then flashed this and it is impressive. Data and signal has been solid on the HD radio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Where can I find that radio? I'm not getting a good signal now.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRaptor29:
Running solid so far.

Main issue I found that I already miss is my headset can't control the volume, play/pause/skip.

other than that the normal low signals due to not having kernel source yet etc... which are no problem to me as long as it works. lol

Thanks for the hard work ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Version_3:
Nope. I came from the last CM10.0 nightly, wiped system data and cache in CWR, and flashed this. NFC was enabled and can be toggled. Tested and it read and wrote tags fine.

-----

This ROM is running great so far in my testing. In my daily usage, the only thing that appears to not function presently is track info on my car stereo over bluetooth. While I figure it's still pending, it did function on CM10 and all touchwiz ROM's, so I know it is possible. However, track control via BT does work fine for me.

Thanks team Liquid. It feels good to be back on LiquidSmooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
If I'm coming from cm10.1 do I need to do a complete wipe or can I dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hsomnus:
No it hasnt! I came to this from Pacman and i always had solid 4 bars 4G...with this i only get 1 or 2 bars

Is anyone having GPS issues? I know that is an issue with cm10.1. Any solutions anyone knows of? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
I have read where some people are still having issues with GPS, but on this rom and also cm10.1, it locks on instantly for me. There have been numerous posts on both threads with ways to try to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I highly advise doing a complete wipe :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm convinced the gps issues reported are "factory line" related. Bad batch of s3's possibly. It truly breaks on some people's devices, others (like mine) it has yet to have an issue. And I've flashed everything!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Is the wifi hotspot feature working? Mine just keeps saying it is turning on but it never does?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckmoney:
Going to nandroid then flash the 4.2 gallery/camera zip to see if I can get photosphere functional on this rom. Has anyone tried it yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unseenme:
Wow. Loaded this up last night & unbelievable. Everything I use works. GPS locks as fast as I can open maps. Data works but the K3 radio from the JB update is horrid. Not a ROM issue. I don't lose anything when I reboot. Even my custom set ringtone & notification sounds stick unlike all the 4.1 AOSP ROM's I've tried. Bluetooth on both my car stereo & Plantronics PLK100 with full frequency response work. I use XiiaLive for internet radio & it displays artist/track info on my deck. The one & only issue I've had so far is when I turned Bluetooth off it got stuck at "Turning Bluetooth off..." And I had to reboot. I used the widget block to turn it off rather than the button in the settings screen. Haven't turned it back off since then so don't know if that was a fluke or a bug. It's too early to anyway, but I don't & won't comment on batter life because everybody's phone/battery/usage are all different. Zero force closes, zero hiccups with exception of the Bluetooth incident, zero lag. Amazing work!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spotmark:
Just installed this, and everything seems nice, but it's not showing up, when I plug it into my computer. Any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckmoney:
Have you tried a different USB Port? Restart phone? Restart Computer? I always have usb recognition problems on my WIN 7 work computer regardless of what rom I'm running on this phone. I even have the correct Samsung USB drivers installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
So is your headset being read when plugged in? Mine is not showing as it is actually plugged in so sound plays through the speaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spotmark:
Tried a different port, restarting, both phone and computer, and no dice. I don't have another cable to try, yet. I'll have to wait until I get home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Installed and everything works great (NFC, GPS, data), but wiped my internal storage. Luckily I backed up everything to my PC beforehand and have all my nandroids on external. Probably should have updated to latest CWM. I'm on TWRP. Gonna restore nandroid and flash CWM and redo to see if that fixes the wiping issue. Will update soon.

Edit: Latest CWM (6.0.2.3) did NOT wipe internal storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
You sure it wiped it? There are issues with these builds messing up the folder structure but have not heard about it actually wiping someone's device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Pretty sure. I checked everywhere using a root explorer. Even asked Titanium to search for backups and it couldn't find them. After mounting to PC with USB cable, it showed an "internal storage" folder where all the contents of my external SD were, then it showed an "external SD" folder that just had a bunch of empty folders. Using ES File Manager I was able to find a "storage" folder that had a bunch of different folders, "sdcard", "sdcard0" and "sdcard1." The only folder that had anything in it was "sdcard1" and that had all my external SD stuff in it.

I was able to nandroid back though and flashed latest CWM Touch and everything flashed fine with that one. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
Can those who flash this check one thing for me? At the very beginning, are you given with options to choose other languages or its just English only?

Only one issue to add. Google voice control/ Google voice search randomly will stop picking up any kind of commands or noise. Simply stops registering

This is the first ROM I actually got an instant lock on GPS. My only suggestion would be to download Pimp My Rom from the Play Store and use the GPS configuration in there. It's worked for me on previous ROMs.

Ok pretty excited to try this out, downloading now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lavundra21:
are there any IMEI issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
Call volume all messed up too. Bug report URL in op is weird at the moment so I'm just reporting this here.

Call volume is VERY low no matter how high I put it. Speakerphone is as lound as the normal ear price should be. That's all I can really explain. And the speaker isn't broken. I've tested both of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
As far as I know, IMEI issues are not ROM specific. You can lose your IMEI during any type of flash. Just make sure you have it backed up and you're gravy. I've never lost my IMEI and have not had an issue with this ROM. I have it backed up however just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luis86dr:
Installed new TWRP, wiped, and flashed again. Gps locks instantly. Volume is kind of low but not a deal breaker. Sure it will be fixed in future update. Overall great experience!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dlongb13:
To raise in call volume go to settings/advanced and go to the sound tab.

Could you make it possible to center the clock?! Thanks everything seems to running good and very fast... :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
You can use rom toolbox pro to change it, or edit /system build.prop. The value that needs edited is ro.sf.lcd_density=320. Mine is set at 280. Edit the build.prop at your own peril. I'm not responsible if you soft brick or lose data because you edit something incorrectly.

Normally at first boot besides downloading all ur apps its scanning the internal memory and sdcard which causes the media drain which will subside after it reads all the files on ur card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dlcpu:
Just awesome. Flashed it as I normally would. Flashed the GAPPS in the link above. Get an error telling me the setup wizard has stopped. Can no longer boot into recovery nor download mode. So im pretty much screwed as far as im concerned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
there is no gapps in the link above...? you should be flashing the 4.2.1 gapps from 12/12/12. you probably flashed the gapps from 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
Few bugs to report since the bug tracker is down. Data/call strength (number of bars) is down in comparison to multiple other ROMs I've been on in the past few weeks. Seems to be ROM specific. I'm getting about -90dbm while showing 1 bar. Also, I keep getting a popup saying the Google text-to-speech engine has closed. It still works when I'm speaking a text but that popup shows up once in a while. Lastly, volume during phone calls is low and I cannot increase it to a higher level.

Otherwise, this ROM is phenomenal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dlcpu:
Thats probably what happened. The link mustve contained both. I cant go into recovery. i hold down the buttons and it skips the it.

GPS issue fixed

quick story

So previously I was on Eclipse build 4 (android 4.1.2) and had ok gps. By ok I mean it was normal for me since I bought this phone. I live in non verizon territory and don't get gps locks here very often at all until i drive to verizon territory and then i get locks like a normal phone/person would.

I clean installed this rom. no gps. I mean Zero gps. Wouldn't even see a single satellite in the sky. ever.

I did a backup. then restored a nandroid backup to Eclipse. I immediately saw satellites and even achieved lock within my house (rare or never happens).....then...restored my nandroid for this rom and now gps is the best i've ever experienced it ever.... on any phone i've owned.

tldr:

if GPS isn't working try restoring a nandroid to a rom where it did work....try it..hopefully it works. then nandroid back to this rom.

worked for me.

If anyone knows why this works ....or worked for me.... I'd luv to know why. seems....odd.
