Well, this is the fruits of my labor last night. Took the KG2 ODIN tarball and ran it through the dsixda rom kitchen.

Features that I have added(Haha, funny, huh?):

- Deodexed(Useable as a base for a custom rom)

- Rooted(Used Superuser like every other rooted rom)

- Updated busybox

That's about it...really. I don't need to add screenshots since everyone should know what stock looks like.

Only thing I need to really mention, is if you're using this on Orange CWM...CHECK CHECK CHECK your mounts.(In other words, make certain the mounts are correct)

Follow these instructions as per which CWM you're using. And if on the Voodoo(Red) CWM...disable voodoo or you WILL get a bootloop.

I'm not responsible if your phone is unrecoverable. You voluntarily flashed this yourself and are solely to blame if anything goes wrong. I did not hold a gun to your head and force you to download and flash this package, so don't expect me to replace your phone. Also, any bugs present aren't my fault. Blame Samsung. It is stock after all.

- Put zip file in your /sdcard

- Reboot into cwm recovery

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache Partition

(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM

*Now before you Flash, Only if you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM ignore the mounts/unmount part*

MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

MOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else

- Now its safe to Flash the .zip

(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS IF YOU ARE ON A RED VOODOO RECOVERY) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

UNMOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.

(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts

Irregardless of what the above says, it's best to worry about mounts anyways. And if it results in a bootloop after flashing this, boot into recovery(should give you the stock blue recovery[uses stock Kernel after all]) and clear all user data. It should boot right up after that.

Cool base.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
I'll download this and maybe use it for my DangerZone rom. BTW, does flash work within the web browser?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SammaelAkuma:
ASDF.

Forgot to add the modified recovery file. So to anyone who uses this as a rom base or as a regular rom between 12/23/12 and whenever I update it...grab the /system/bin/recovery from any other custom rom and either adb push it to /system/bin or use a root file manager to paste it over the current on and reset the permissions to 775(I think)[Just check what it is before you use the second method]

And as far as I know, Flash should work. I haven't had any issues, personally.

Hello,

I have run into problem with my galaxy s3. I am currently unable to make calls or text anyone. I can receive text messages. When I go to make a call I am getting a recorded message on what to do if I want to make a collect call. I was able to Odin back to the jelly bean OTA but I am still not able to make calls. I am also getting the roaming notification message. If anyone has had this issue or can steer me in the direction of a thread that explains how I can find a fix I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue as you. I just did this today. You need to ODIN back to ICS with root66 this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762204

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jas88:
Thank you! I'll give it a try. I haven't read the entire thread but did you just use the final ICS download or does it matter? I just don't want to make it worse than already is. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rudy_Ruettiger:
ODIN this file http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.vzw_root66.tar

it will take you back to completely unrooted locked ICS. Once you are up a running dial *2767*3855# and it will reprovision your phone.

Then you will have to take all the OTA updates to get back to JB.

Let me guess...you were on one of the CM10.1 builds right? Thats what did it for me...let me know if you need any help.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
This summer, I bought this phone but sold it after a week because it had a ton of problems, including overheating. Today, I bought the phone again, because I wanted to give it another chance. Right now, in the middle of winter with less than 20C in my room, I was playing Temple Run when I started noticing the phone was getting warmer. I thought "well, this is normal, I have been playing a 3D game for about 20 minutes, I bet it hasn't overheated like it happened this summer, that one was probably defective too, it's just getting a bit warm, that's all", but guess what? I quitted temple run, ran a Quadrant session, and yeah, it had overheated and reduced its performance like it happened last time. Halved performance due to overheating, exactly like it happened this summer, 3000 points instead of the usual 6000+ it gets.

I. CAN'T. BELIEVE. IT.

I guess it's my fault though, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

This phone is such a piece of crap it gave me the most buyer's remorse I've ever had.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
6000 points on Quadrant? The max I got was around 3400...

Anyway, I think it is normal to a device to overheat and lose performance when it gets hotter. Same for too cold (under 0ºC). The colder, the better the performance. That's why all eletronics should be kept cool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I could have excused it for overheating during summer with 35C room temperature, but with less than 20C and after just less than one hour?

How is this acceptable? Seriously, what is wrong with this phone?

I am raging uncontrollably right now. I can't believe I was so stupid to get this turdphone TWICE before realizing it was indeed a massive stinking turd.

And yeah, it's not 6000 points but 3500, when it overheats it gets much less, and I notice it's happening even before the score gets displayed, because usually the planet thingy runs at 60FPS but when it's overheated it runs at around 40.

GOD DAMN.

Oh and by the way, if it overheats during gameplay, it also overheats during web browsing or EVERYTHING really. And EVERY SINGLE XPERIA S IN EXISTENCE has this problem. Yours too.

You better not use it too much, or it might overheat and start running slower than a X10. What, you bought your phone to use it? LOLZ.

/sarcasm
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
definitely rom/kernel problem.. what's rom u use? have u update it to latest .55? u unlock the bootloader? u just b*tching without give any details.

the colder the hardware is not the better the performance, there's something called operating temp. usually u cant use the hardware if it's not in its operating temp (like PC processer, it cant boot when 0 degree Celsius, but booting fine at 30 degrees or -27 (subzero) degrees). if u get lower performance, usually it's because the driver/applications that order the processor to lower itself.

when i was using custom stock rom, i've played Nova 3 with my friends (wifi) for around 45 minutes, and it hasnt got lags, sure the phone was very hot, but the performance wasnt drop. now im using cm10, still got no lags when playing games (Trial Xtreme 3 is very fun & challenging and surely a phone heater, ive spent bout 2 hours playing, got low battery, charging it (thx for the fast charging) for 1 hour and half, then playing it again.. still got no lags )

so, surely the problems is in the rom.. since ur in xda, try fix it urself... if u wont, just f*kin' sell it :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
About overheat on my phone, yeah it does sometimes. During summer it can get up to 40C (the ambient, not phone), the phone overheats while using for browsing, but I think it's normal.

It gets hot when playing NFS:MW, the performance drops but I just have to leave there for 30 min and its good again.

The phone generally gets up to 43 C when playing...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Dude. I'm playing it in my room, with 17C room temperature. After less than one hour of that crappy game Temple Run, the phone got hot, and out of nowhere I decided to test if it had clocked down like it happened during the summer, and it did. I'm fully stock, locked bootloader, stock rom with only some bloatware removed. As soon as your phone gets hot, try to run quadrant and you will see your performance will have reduced. I think you can also see your CPU speed has gone down to 800Mhz.

And by the way, like I said before, I'm on my second XPS, and the first one also overheated, so I guess they all do that. I think you may have noticed the phone becoming laggy after some heavy usage sessions.

Anyway, I am not sure if every phone somehow clocks itself down when it gets hot and then starts running like crap until it cools down again, but on all the phones I've used in my life, this is the only one that does it and after such a short period of heavy usage. It's just ridiculous, there should be class actions up sony's ass for this, but it seems like I'm the only one who realized this happens and literally cripples the phone's performance until you stop using it, basically.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
If the phone kept at full speed, it would heat even more at the point of damaging the internal components.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
I know how to keep the performance as good as it was cold. But the temperature won't drop i meant it's still warm.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I am not retarded, I know how overheating works, I'm an IT technician and I deal with overheating bleeping computers all day long.

The point is, the phone SHOULD NOT overheat and clock itself down to half the speed after just a few minutes of gameplay. This is ridiculous.

Why are you missing the point?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
It overheats, and it should, because you're running a 3D game. Again, it clocks down to avoid bigger overheat and damage. My phone performance keeps the same after 1 hour of playing NFS:MW. It just need a few minutes to start the processes again, since the game use it all.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] richteralan:
um..that's not the case, AT ALL.

The thermal throttling kicked in so that's why the OP seeing lowered performance.

Please read more about hardware before you post these.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -PiLoT-:
Of course the phone should get hot, and if it does the CPU should def do something about it and underclock

Also why do you have to swear so much? girlfriend problems? limp noodle?

also if ur going to buy something to test its gaming prowess, buy a psp or something

my advice? stop being a moron.

also

"I quitted temple run, ran a Quadrant session, and yeah, it had overheated and reduced its performance like it happened last time. Halved performance due to overheating, exactly like it happened this summer, 3000 points instead of the usual 6000+ it gets."

thats not permanent, its the app staying in cahced processes just in case it needs relaunching. try ending the process and try benchmarking again

you find removing it from the ram as a process may help

i just ran quadrant on mine

its warm cause im playing music and have tons of crap open. it hasnt slowed down. and its score was 2937. i dont see the issue though? the number means nothing on its own. its a potential comaprison tool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Pffft. Do you even know what you are talking about? It SHOULD NOT overheat, only heat up a bit. Playing a game or doing anything CPU intensive should not OVERHEAT the phone, only heat it up a bit. There is a difference between heating up and OVERheating. Overheating means there is something wrong with the cooling solution, and should not happen unless the cooling system or the chip itself (this case, since a cellphone doesn't have a cooling system) is faulty. Learn what 'overheating' means.

Can you even read? I FIX overheating and damaged computers for a living. I know how this stuff works, and from the looks of it, much better than 90% of the guys here.

You also have trouble reading and understanding basic english. If I play a game, then quit out of it, and then run quadrant and I get half the score, there is something wrong, that being the CPU clocking itself down to 800Mhz (instead of 1500) because of overheating. OVER HEATING, not simply heating up. Over heating is NOT normal. If I only had too much stuff open, the CPU wouldn't have clocked itself down to 800Mhz, it would have ran at 1500 but with reduced performance in quadrant because of high memory and CPU workload in background stuff.

Anyway, I'm done with you guys. Educate yourselves on how processors, operating systems and electronic devices work then come back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Which temperature separates heating and overheating, then?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
It's 45 nm, dual core and 1.5 gHz. ofc it got hot. But not overheating. When the hardware is overheating, it'll turn off, u should know that.. I said again, it's the rom/kernel that asked the procie to lower itself when in some temp. mine? I never have this problem since in cm10. Read my posts again. And surely I benchmarked over and over again (antutu) and the scores are vary, but not very much (I even got Max scored at my fifth try, the phone was hot though, but it was alright)

And if u search about xperia s overheating, there are some talks (even here in xda) bout performance hits, etc.. but it was way back there... I thought ppl already learn how to handle this... well, I thought wrong.

Ang if u thought the phone is hot, try playing with HTC one x... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -PiLoT-:
i said remove it as a cahed process then run it again.

also why run a benchmark. its a hypothtical scoring number

Dude it's a phone. Even if you play games on pc the temperature of cpu will rise a lot because of lots of processing. When you look at a pc you are not holding it in hands so you won't feel the heat. And if your device gets overheated it will turn off it won't remain on.. fairly simple to understand.. it's a mobile device there are no fans inside it, or there are no heatsink which you can compare with your pc :/ it's ok if your phone gets heated up.. it's natural..

Even my iPod touch gets heated up if I play game like temple run for half an hour.. it becomes so hot hard to hold it.. but it's not overheated.. it's heated :)

I am not some Sony diehard either. I was MR HTC for many years, but have since switched. Between me and my buddies we have Galaxys Nexus, Galaxy S2/S3, Nexus 4, Xperia S, Xperia T, HTC Aria, HTC Hero, HTC Evo. Out of all of these I still like my Xperia S the best, though my friend's Xperia T is pretty damn good but a little too big. I have come to realize that no smartphone is perfect and you can't go just by specs alone. I love the build quality and feel of Sony's phones, though HTC feels just as good. Problem with HTC now is that they care about battery life even less than Sony does.
