The post above I quoted is what my gut is telling me it is. Our phone has an extra framework file and if that file controls some of the hardware then of course its needed. The other note ports all have the framework-ext in them as well but im not sure how they ported the roms. And im not sure if the framework ext was added to one of the others by Samsung on the note. If they combined them on the note the file size didn't change which leads me to believe they did not but I was wanting to decompile the all the framework files and check just to be sure...

Hey g2usr you here now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gs2usr:
Yeah just got the S3 about 5 days ago, after my SR broke.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Oh yea! I finally got a ROM released. U plan on devving?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gs2usr:
Already have a few things going, but mainly working on aosp 4.2.1 PA. Got a few successful builds so far but won't boot, that's my main goal right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Anything I can assist with. You know we go way back haha.

Gary what's the status of this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdidtht:
That's stupid.. Not mine never has
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I posted a logcat a few posts back take a look at it and see what you think. I got it to boot past the first screen all the way thru the ATT boot animation into the flashing blue Samsung logo and it stops there. Our gs3 has a extra framework file called framework-ext I think is the name of it and the note2 does not so im thinking ill add that back when I get home and try that... meanwhile you can look at the logcat and see what you think....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well I have spent the past few hours decompiling the framework jars on both phones and what I found shocked me. This is what I found....

1. Framework.jars on both phones are identical.

2. Framework 2jars are both identical.

3. Framework-res apks both identical.

4. The difference our gs3 has an extra framework jar called framework-ext.jar which I already knew. So whats shocking? What I found next....

5. Stripped the systemui.apk on UCDLK3 on our gs3 and I decompile it and start going thru the files and find that it also is identical to the note2 and I also find folders in our systemUI apk called layout-sw600 dp and inside that folder the files already exist for multiwindow. I was thinking if the damn files are already in the system ui and everything is there why not just release the update already...

After seeing this im more certain than ever that this port can be done.. so im gonna try adding the extra framework file the gs3 has and try that.... after all framework-ext is in both galaxy mod and serenity. ....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deoxlar:
Makes sense for samsung to do this. Give us everything at once, we would want more. Pace it put and feed us every three months = users satisfaction.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
Synergy has already got this working, i dont know if you can get their help or not but figured I'd throw that out there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Thanks I sent him a pm to see if we could set up a phone call so I could ask him a few questions. His has a Verizon base which believe it or not makes a difference. I downloaded a Verizon base for the s3 and did everything exactly the way I did with ATT base and it booted right up. I cant see a difference in the two but somewhere there is and im gonna find it. Does ATT lock their bootloaders? I know that sounds like a stupid question but im starting to wonder if they do...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
No the only one that did lock their bootloaders was Verizon...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I didn't think they were because android kitchen said they were not locked but you know how pc programs are sometimes lol.... I am so close to getting this working. Its gonna be one of those little things that when I find it ill be like ahhhh haaaa why hadn't I done thought of that....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
yeah usually is...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
I wish the devs would just tell us how. Smh
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well im to that point where ill only make one change at a time zip it and flash it. Im also so close that so far each little change ive tried has put me a step back which really lets me know how close i am
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I sent you a pm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well we now have a rom that boots and runs good but multiwindow isnt working yet. So now that I got it to boot its time to work on multwindow.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
Your almost there Gary....sweet!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Soooooo freaking close I can taste it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
Hey bro...your desire to get this done has really got me dying to try it...thanks! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Thanks bro. I finally got it booting but no multwindow. But the good news is I know why it ain't working so this evening when I get back home ill be back at it....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arshull:
Similar Problem

Out of curiosity, how did you resolve the phone not booting past the glowing Samsung logo? I'm working on a port from the Note II and it boots, plays the music gets all the way to right before the home screen and stalls out. I made sure I had all the framework files in place, zip-aligned the apk's, copied the correct files over, etc...... It's soooooo close, but just won't display the home screen. (even reflashed after clearing cache and davik)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
It was a build prop I had wrong
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] el3men2od:
Hey any progress on your work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Omg I feel like such a idiot... I just noticed the note2 rom I been trying to port over does not have busybox installed yet my base does.... im a freaking idiot....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
hahah, in other words ROM COMING SOON! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Sorry guys its gonna be a few days...

I had been feeling bad the last few days and really bad today. So I went to my dr and he and my wife would have it no other but to admit me in the hospital because I have the stupid pneumonia...

Dammit I hate this place
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sfb14:
you've been working so hard on this ROM sir :p get well soon man... we will still be here waiting
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
Get well soon man!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Thanks... I hope so cause I hate this place. I feel like a human pin cushion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
Ahh lame bro...pneumonia sucks...I had it once and it sucked big time....good luck bud and heres to a speedy recovery:beer:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Thanks. Im feeling a little better so I hope they let me out this place tomorrow...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well good news the dr said I could go home so im headed that way and im gonna start back to work on this when I get there. I also called ATT and warrantied my phone so now im gonna test on this one with no fear of bricking lol.....

Im returning this one cause it keeps eating sd cards... wonder if thats been part of my flashing issues....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
get better first dude...work on the ROM once ur back to 100%
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Update... the rom boots up and now multi window kinda sorta works. When you turn the multi window option on in the settings and try to use it the phone then for some strange reason hangs up and reboots. So one step closer but just not where it needs to be yet. Hopefully I can figure out the problem soon and update a rom I feel comfortable putting out. With it like it is and the amount of noobs here now if I uploaded this rom without it fully working there could possibly be a few noobs with bricked devices. So until im comfortable publishing it then it remains a W.I.P.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
Your probably right..this thread would turn into a total ***** fest with wayyy to many stupid question lol....when u feel its ready for some testing count me in.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I would really feel bad if my work was the reason someone bricked a $500+ phone..

Im kinda lucky right now cause I had to warranty my s3 last week due to sd card issues (long story) and I got the new replacement friday so the old one im sending back Monday or Tuesday is my guinna pig for the weekend. I just really dont care if I brick it since im sending it back anyway lol...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:
Lol...sweet....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
Haha...that's epic...but you should change the boot logo to something to screw with at&t!:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vwood2121:
How is the rom coming along? Can't wait to give it a go!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Ive had several requests for updates via pm, google+ and here in this thread so here is where im at right at right now...

The rom will boot and either hang up shortly after the the lock screen or when trying to use the multi window function. I was fortunate enough to have a test phone this past weekend and I bet I logged 20+ hours on trying to get this working. I bet I flashed that poor phone I sent back to ATT over 1000 times lol and if it be possible to wear out the flasher on a phone (ha ha joke) that poor thing was. It was definitely tired none the less. Hell I even got it so hot once my hand starting sweating lol (no joke). Anyway im at the point where the slightest change I make to try and get everything functional it wont boot as in bootloop. The list of things of tried would be to long to list and take to much time to list....

So as I type this im actually downloading the rom for GS3 international version with multi window to look at and do some studying on. Not to use as port or base although the idea to use the framework from it crossed my mind....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
So what do you guys think about me using a international S3 with multiwindow as a port instead of the US note2? Of course ATT i747 d2att would still be the base just a different port. The framework on the international is way more close to our phone than the note 2 is....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
sounds good. pm me if you have any questions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Im thinking it will go a lot smoother with a gs3 to gs3 port rather than note2 to gs3 or I hope anyway lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Well I got my hands on a second s3. I can help you with the port.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Sweet...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I hadnt started with the international rom yet as im undecided as to what I want to try first... so whats your advice...

1. Should I just port the international rom over completely as in framework, apps, fonts, and media?

2. Or try the framework only from the international GS3?

3. Or try to just port over the multiwindow function from the international?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jookdakang23:
Well for max compatibility id say option number 1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Yea ill try that first... option 1 that is
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Big-A-Rob:
For me personally, all I'm looking for is a stable Rom with multi window. All the roms with multi window I have tried so far have pretty annoying data drop issues.:(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjb6723:
Same here. Would love a stable multi view ROM. I am running loserskater's rim and it is super nice...so I need a nice stable MV ROM to change daily drivers.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
I'll be glad when more W.I.P. roms come along I've tried my best to make Galaxy Mod and synergy to work but I'm not a tech geek so it has to be a fairly simple Rom to install and run in my very humble opinion. Can't wait to take yours out for a spin.

I found info that the the galaxy note will be getting the multiwindow jb update this month and it has the same kind of processor our phones does which should make porting a lot easier. ... that update should hit any day now

Keep er going Gary. I'd love to see your ROM 100% working man.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crixley:
the i717?

it has an s3 snapdragon, not an s4. different gpu as well.I own both.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
The i717 has..... Chipset Qualcomm MSM8660 SnapdragonCPUDual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion

And the i747 has. .... Chipset Qualcomm MSM8960 SnapdragonCPUDual-core 1.5 GHz

The note 2 has a...... ManufacturerSamsungBrand / familyExynosModel4412Clock speed1.6 GHzNumber of cores4

With the i717 and the i747 even though not identical processors are at least in the same family both being qualcomm, both dual core, both being snapdragon, will make a port a lot easier than a note 2 port which has a processor not even nowhere close to the i747 or i717.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well guys my pc crashed and I lost all my work and progress. I also just ordered a note 2 and im giving my s3 to my daughter so ill start building a new rom for the note 2 since im leaving the s3. So mods you can either lock this thread or delete it whichever you choose to do....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
ughhh, the anticipation is killing me, the only other multi view rom wont work with the ATT phones. won't get sleep till it's flashed, and some people have school and a birthday tomorrow! :D , happy birthday to me, thank you for this great present :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
Happy birthday! And there is one that I'm using right now, it's the galaxymod one, you just have to make sure you use the faux kernel option in aroma or it won't boot, however I'm waiting on this as well just because the galaxymod Rom has ridiculous battery drain issues on my phone, I think it may be the v6supercharger I selected in aroma but I'm too lazy to reflash it :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
15% and going... uuugghhh im stuck in dsl hell lol....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
Thanks man!, and I tried using that one, but it wont work with my Rogers device, the APNS are all a mess, and when i restore them , they " Unrestore" :P ,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Well hopefully this thats uploading now will fix the flashing error. I flashed the one I put on my phone and it worked but the one on my pc that I uploaded last night I zipped the wrong updater script with the rom and uploaded from my pc. So I put the right updater script In and rezipped and now im uploading. My next order of business after testing which bloatware apps I can get rid of without it effecting multiwindow is to debloat what I can and work on battery life and maybe some theming but debloating and battery life is my next top two priorities. ..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
Don't know if this will help but in the aroma installer for the galaxy rom it gives the option for no Samsung apps and people have reported it back working fine, personally I am only using 3 of them myself.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Also, when theming can you make sure and set the stock theme aside for others, I personally love what Samsung did with touchwiz!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
Yea I think we are of the very small crowd that likes what Samsung has done with touchwiz. Project butter was a life saver for Samsung and touchwiz
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tutchthesky7:
Yeah, I don't understand what people have against Touchwiz , its very well done, really visually appealing and it has all the options you need
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Unhived__Mind:
The elitist jerks who hate on tw are just jealous they can't come up with something better! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
You know when it comes to roms what a lot dont think about is it comes down to user preferences. I think even us devs forget that sometimes. So to say one rom is better than another is just saying I prefer this one over that one so I dont see why there are huge arguments over the best rom. If you flash my rom and dont prefer it to another one it dont mean my rom is junk it just means your personal preferences are different. ..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bustervic:
Visually and with a few features Sony has done a much better skin. I always side load the Sony email app cause the Sammy one hurts my eyes. Lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wali01x:
you're right. i guess us devs or cookers just wanna be creative of what we're good at its just doesn't mean there is competition between one another. if we bring it all down its just we bring out the best to what one can do and thats all it matters. we're all one community and we learn from one another and just share what we do like most of us do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] force70:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
It might have failed because the upload failed at 98%. But its back to the drawing board tonight to figure out what happened. You guys dont give up on me yet. Ive got a lot of stuff to do today but when I get back home tonight ill start at it again......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garydv2002:
I dont know if this actually matters from what ive read it does but I done the build prop edits and updater script edits on my pc with wordpad. Now ive downloaded notepad++ and gonna start from scratch with my edits and scripts and use it. The version I flashed on my phone I edited on my phone with root explorer so that may be the difference. Wordpad made my scripts and buildprop read only when I saved then with it... I feel like a idiot duh
