Could you please include link to inverted gapps in the first post? There's no sense in using a light background with AMOLED screens, just wastes power, right?

First off thanks for posting. Good heads up. :good:

I am the Glass Half empty kind. The code looks to be CM Kernel related. That too Sprint version of S3. :rolleyes: So I figure unless Rom incorporated the code or other Kernel developers did, Its not going to matter to D2TMO..........
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Yes. It was first confirmed on the Verizon and Sprint S3 and the fix will be merged into later builds for all d2 devices. WIP :)

Help!!!

I'm a newb so bare with me:

So I decided to update my Liquid Smooth 2.1 to the newest 2.5. On installing, I realized I keep getting the "Status 7" error and the installation is aborted.

I updated my baseband version to T999UVDMD5 using this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2276670 (and it says this in my "about phone" settings)

I put my phone back to CWM Recovery mode and I tried installing LiquidSmooth 2.5. I did a "clean installing" according to the forums (wiping data/cache, then flashing the LS2.5 ROM).

I still get the status 7 error though! Help please. Can some one assist me on what I'm doing wrong?

side note: i AM on a older version of CWM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Flash this first then reboot then flash liquidsmooth and gapps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2282603

You need to update your bootloader, which isn't your baseband. The link I posted will do that for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kytime:
I get status 7 error with attempting to flash that firmware. I just read the whole forum for that and no one else has gotten it....what am I doing wrong? also, when it says to put in "root of sd card", can i just put it into my sd card or is there an actually /root folder?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Didn't you say you flashed the baseband? not the same thing as the firmware. Which did you actually flash? If it was in fact the firmware/bootloader from the provided link then you must remember to reboot back into recovery after flashing that but before flashing this ROM or any other ROM after 4/15. Believe that was the date.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kytime:
with this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2276670&page=11

I flashed the radio. In my "about phone", it says my baseband version is now UVDMD5, which it wasn't before.

I'm kind of confused on what you mean by flashing this rom or any other rom after 4/15...The last ROM I used is LiquidSmooth 2,1 (not sure what date it came out).

So basically I flashed the radio from the above link with no issue, then I rebooted and it showed me the whole aroma setup thing. I turn my phone off, and then I put it back into recovery and try to flash the LS 2.5 ROM and it gives me a Status 7 error and aborts.

Any ideas? and Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Make sure you are on the latest recovery then head to the link in my signature for updating to the MD5 FIRMWARE. Choose the file without the modem (baseband) as you've already updated that yourself. Flash it in recovery. Once done, reboot back into recovery then do a full wipe and flash the ROM and gapps. For future reference also check the getting started guide in my sig to better understand the terminology to avoid all the confusion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kytime:
sorry...but how do i get the latest recovery? I'm pretty sure this is a question I can google but I don't trust myself at this point. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Are you on cwm? Download ROM Manager from the playstore and update through there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
TWRP is usually recommended so I would go with that. To easily install:

1) Install Goomanager from Play Store

2) Open the app and grant it superuser permissions

3) Hit menu and select "Install Openrecoveryscript"

4)Hit Yes on "Confirm Recovery Install" window

5) Tap Yes again on the next window to download and install the recovery.

6) Let it download and install. You will get a notification at the bottom of the app's main menu stating that recovery has successfully installed.

Now you may proceed to the steps mentioned in the previous posts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Go to the link in Luigi's sig or the one I posted. Just put the file in your internal sd card and flash.

What you flashed has nothing to do with the status 7 error.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:

Thank you to both of you guys. I'm on Liquid Smooth 2.5 now.

There is an issue with my phone not connecting to my home wifi router when I started using Liquid Smooth ROM's. If you guys can help me with that, that would just be icing on the cake. It is getting late and that wifi issue isn't that big of a deal for me right now.

Is there a way to change the system font? I want to switch to Helvetia font. I found an app called font installer in play store but alot of people are saying their phones are being bricked.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
So I've been out of the loop for a while.. Decided yesterday it was time to finally upgrade to JB

- I was on Free GS3 7.1 which was on android 4.0.4

- updated my CWM to 6.x

- Read that I needed a newer baseband so liquid would play nice with it (updated to UVDMD5)

- installed Liquid-JB-V2.1 (since I couldn't get the latest to work)

- added recent gapps

Had my phone on wifi most of the night at at home but had slow but constant connection in Bellevue. Woke up this morning now to find that I cannot connect to T-Mobile at all

I just wanted to check in and see if I'm going in the right direction.. I've been to the "ALL T999 Modems Thread" and did some reading.

- Looks like I can just update my baseband and be okay?

- Or was there an issue with this Liquid Version? Do I need to update to the latest v2.5?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
No. You have to update your bootloader, not baseband.

Read the last two pages, your question was answered with steps on how to do.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Luigi please note, in case you were not aware, the link in Goo Manager for TWRP seems to point to older version (v2.2 I think). Current TWRP is v2.5. Purely FYI.

Yes this was reported before. May I suggest changing the Authentication method on your Router? If you have WPA/WPA2 at present then I highly recommend switching to WEP and then test. Also note, the firs time connection is always the longest. Try another place such as Starbucks to test your wireless connectivity.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Appreciate the help! I knew quickly skimming would get me into trouble. Thanks for the quick fix :good:

only thing now is that the most recent modem (UVMD5) is slow! guess i'll have to downgrade
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Are you sure you're talking about the recovery and not the ROM versions available on Goo? The Goomanager app will always provide and install the very latest TWRP recovery for that respective phone model. I'm sort of at a loss as to what you're trying to tell me in all honesty but I know that is one of the main benefits and purposes of Goomanager, to automatically download the most recent TWRP upon following the instructions I had previously posted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Which Font are you trying to Change ? There are quiet a few places where fonts are used.

Its not essentially a downgrade, its another modem for you. On Doc Holliday's thread that you linked, there are other people who have posted their experience with Modems. For that area, it seems to be the recommendation, to use UVLI8 or LJA. I personally had signal issues with LJA but then I am not in Washington.

Luigi I am talking about TWRP Recovery and not about ROM. Yes I did it myself ~3 weeks ago and ended up with v2.2. Went to TWRP website, downloaded and flashed 2.5 via Odin.

(P.S. - Speaking of ROMS LS v2.5 is still not in Goo.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Yeah I checked out the Map but was surprised to there wasn't many posts from my area (Bellevue) MD5 & JLA are both giving me this right now.. not a good start
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Did you try LI8 ? Also look at your APN & Network Mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Hmm.. very odd the app would download an earlier version for you. Normally, it would provide the most recent as shown in the shot, which I'm sure you're already aware of. Not sure of exactly what happened at that time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I don't know for sure. Yes prior to downloading, it indeed showed me the version. Just now checked and now it gives me v2.5. Don't know what to say.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
lol neither do I bro. The only times I've ever seen anyone encounter a situation like that was either on a lower end device or it was simply due to the servers being down and not having the most recent versions available at that moment in time. Besides that, I'm also at a loss of words. For what it's worth I'm Glad it's working fine for you now.

with 3 different modems I'm still getting about 1 up / 1 down... Should I just go back to LEM since it was working just fine then back on Sunday?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
There should be 4 APNs with one being "T-Mobile US LTE". This is the APN you need to choose. EPC I think is for Prepaid or 3G or both. Also please specify your current Kernel and Network Mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
so currently there's only 3 APN's. I'll add a 4th a name it T-Mobile US LTE. I'll see if I can find the correct settings for it.

Also my Kernel is - 3.4.38-leanKernel-att_aosp_43.51? It's what was installed with my Liquid v2.1 flash?

Network mode currently set as LTE / GSM/WCDMA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Why are you on such an earlier version of LiquidSmooth if I may ask?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
ah when I was coming from android 4.0.4 on FREE GS3 R7.1, I couldn't flash into the current version. So my thought was because I couldn't go from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 so I went to 4.1.2 aka v2.1 lol :confused: Should I just flash to v2.5? I have it ready
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Ok the kernel's fine. Network Mode is Correct. See if you can easily find the APN Details or I will post mine.

Luigi, he ran into the Bootloader issue with 2.5 so traded to 2.1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
It all goes back to your firmware/bootloader. You can't jump from 4.0.4 (ICS) to 4.2.2.You can only upgrade from 4.1.1 LJA and later so if you're on one of the required bootloaders then you're golden. You can then flash 2.5. Please read OP for more details on this matter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
2.1 is still 4.2.2... 4.1.2 has it's own thread in the forums, and your reasoning is logical but wrong. You just need to update bootloader cause of the parameters from CM team and the new updater scripts, that followed after 3-17-2013. It's all explained in HUGE letters in the very beginning of this thread, read the OP and 2nd post before doing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
yeah I realize now that 2.1 is 4.2.2. I updated the bootloader via this guide earlier today to UVDMD5. V2.5 was giving me an abort error when trying to flash so that is why I tried a earlier version. Dunno how I got to that conclusion hah
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In that case update to LS v2.5 so you get updated Kernel and then Change the APN as discussed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Sounds like a plan. Before I update to v2.5 take a look at how changing the APN helped!

So Perseus, I updated to v2.5 and used the phone for the day without any problems. All is well so far.

I am finding thought that my speeds vary greatly. I'm wondering if it's because I'm right in heavily populated area (downtown) which takes away from my connection? I mean T-Mobile headquarters is a few miles from me and I'm noticing I am on 3G most of the time.

Current modem - LI8

Kernel - 3.4.47-leanKernal-att_aosp_43-6.1

Network mode - GSM/WCDMA preferred

Should I just text new modems again since the rest of my settings are in line? Just want to make sure I'm headed in the right direction and not just settling for speeds/settings. Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes I'd try couple of other modems to make sure. Do note, being downtown greatly affects your speed. Close to T-Mo HQ or not, you will suffer congestion of Cell traffic. If possible I'd check in suburbs the speed test of each modem while remaining stationary in one place. Whichever one comes on top can be tested in downtown.

As a sidenote, check Wireless speeds as well. ON 5GHZ Band Only.

I doubt this will matter. But check to see if another kernel makes any difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Yeah I've tested my wireless speeds and they are very promising. I did expect the cell traffic in my area would cause some issues. Thanks for clearing these up for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Glad it worked fine.

Pressing the button is easier than writing but this works too. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Hey guys, i really want to flash this, I have v2.5 and 20130301 downloaded, is there anything else i need?

My current state is attached.

How would i do so flashing this from my current state? Do i follow OP's instructions, or do i do something different since i'm flashing from 4.1.1. to 4.2.2? Also would flashing this replace my kernel? Because i doubt that version compatible with 4.2.2. Thanks, sorry for so many questions and being a noob!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Always follow the OP's instructions. Read carefully through maybe 5-10 times if need be. Based on your setup you look good to go but just to be sure, confirm your bootloader version following the simple instructions in the OP. If you are indeed on LJA then there's no need to update your firmware, unless you do so choose to. Just make a nandroid, FULLY wipe (System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache), then flash the ROM and gapps.

Yes, your kernel will be replaced.

TW = TW based kernel

AOSP = AOSP based kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Yeah, you're fine. I recommend backing your files in your internal sdcard.

Do a full wipe.

Just incase you get the status 7 error, it means you need to update your bootloader. Flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2282603 and you'll be updated then reflash liquidsmooth with gapps and you're done.

Goodluck and enjoy.

Is it possbile to get S-Voice on this ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:

Is there a way to decrease the overall sound output of the speaker? It is like too loud. Yesterday my mother called while I was in class and the whole class could hear what she spoke. Even though I kept the volume at minimum.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Turn on the Safe Headset Volume in the Sound Settings. That helps. Also turn down the Speaker volume. (Yes I know you were not on Speaker in the class).

Mom Calling in Class ? Reminds me of the Howler Ron got in Harry Potter & Chamber of Secrets.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeushvk:
Thanks for replying. I actually did that(enabling safe headset volume) today morning but I could not find any difference. Also I didn't flash any sound mods which increase the sound output(if I did I would be bleeding in my ears ;)). Volume is at lowest. With headphones plugged in its OK. Any other suggestions?

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I remember at one time I reduced the "In Call" Volume when I was actually in Call. That actually turned down the other party's voice coming from phone's earpiece. Turns out you don't see that volume control otherwise. Since then every time I flash a Rom version, I call my guinea pig to check the In Call Volume and adjust if needed. (My Guinea Pig is 611 ;))
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeushvk:
I'll do that , but I distinctly remember keeping it in lowest volume.

Also one more problem I have is that thumbnails of videos not showing up in gallery.

Previously I had around 235 videos removed many of them now precisely 35 only still I don't see thumbnails. Even with 3rd party apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
The Last part with the Video is a known issue. Reasons for it are not known to me. If it is a show stopper then revert to v2.4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Is it possible to have the display light up when receiving new SMS? I'm not sure if I missed it in the settings.

Also I had a funny thing happen today where I went to unlock my phone and the display it had a scrambled tv signal look to it.. It flickered for a bit so I just restarted and it's fine now.. anyone else witness this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Look for the LED settings. The Front LED will blink when Messages are received. Flicker occasionally expected. If continues then Clear Dalvik & Cache.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKucho:
Ahh, I completely forgot to state my recovery, I'm on CWM 6.0.3.1. What recovery do you recommend me flash this on?

Also, if I flashed v2.5 which is 4.2.2, would I be able to restore a nandroid from 4.1.1?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eff0rtless:
Sadly this has become more common and not just a flicker anymore

When I try to screenshot it on the device it goes away so I snapped it with a friends phone.. Has anyone else seen or experienced this? I may have to do a full clean wipe tomorrow and hope for the best.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
You will have to disable it each restart.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I think that's not the latest on CWM. Install ROM Manager to check & get the latest. Sorry I don't use CWM. As to Nandroid restore of 4.1.1 on 4.2.2 is plain bad Idea. I wouldn't do it.

I don't use Google Now that much. But I think if the Notification is de-coupled from Ringer then controlling it separately will help. At least that's how I solved my Google Voice issue.

H/W Overlay is heavily used by some of the games and Video apps like MX & Youtube. Those 2 will still work but with potential buffering. I believe BMS is available on T-Mo. Or you can also use KT747.Change Kernel and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TomMelee:
Thanks, that's a good idea, as I use Intelligent Ringer to keep my ringtone from being too loud when it sits on my desk. I'm guessing maybe google just hasn't given us the option to choose a specific ringtone for g-now events, which sucks.
