Okay, you must be on the i747M from one of the Canadian or Mexican providers.

That doesn't indicate the bootloader. If you never put a custom ROM on the device it should be the same as the baseband(modem) and ROM version. You can verify the bootloader with the "Samsung Info" app from the PlayStore or from Terminal Emulator if you have one installed. In the terminal window enter

getprop ro.bootloader

If the bootloader is indeed the same as the baseband you need to upgrade to MK5 bootloader and modem to meet this ROMs requirements. enewman17 posted a download link for the MK5 pair, give thanks to him for the file. Or, you could go to sammobile and update to the stock rom for your device before flashing Dandroid ROM. Going the stock ROM route would probably clean up the internal storage more thoroughly than only flashing the bootloader and modem. At the sammobile site there is more than one MK5 rom available, they are sorted by carrier. I know some of the carriers share firmware, but I don't know if all do.

If you want the newest bootloader and modem, then you just continue the process going from one pair to the next for your carrier. The carriers seem to be splitting on which version is next. After MK5 you have ND2 or ND3 depending on your carrier. Likewise there are more options for the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem, depending on carrier.

Once you have upgraded your bootloader and modem, flash the ROM in accordance with the instructions in the first post of this thread. BTW, you may want to take the opportunity to sim unlock your phone before upgrading from 4.1.2. To do so will first require downgrading to 4.1.1, look for the free unlock thread for instructions.

The latest version of this ROM is posted in the first post of the thread. Danvdh has one other ROM for this device, it is also based on android 4.3. It is called DanKang and was posted to the forum a month before this one was.

HTH.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Exmet:
Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I have one of the older versions of this rom on my S3. I will update my bootloader and modem and install the latest version.

Thanks again.

Running great for me. I'm on AT&T and did not even have to replace build.prop. Everything is working great right out of the box. Still can't see mms sometimes while in mms thread with other people... Think thats an issue using aosp mms with touchwiz. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
build.prop will be d2can by default bro

Re: [ROM] Dandroid v2.01 LL1 LATEST! deodexed, zip aligned, debloated. AOSP feel. 1/2

My build prop was d2can by default. But when I flashed tasks aokp I had issues because his rom is d2att. So I modified the update script in the rom so it would install on my d2can device. Now my build prop says d2att. So I just have to do the opposite this time I think. I'll try flashing first and see how it goes. I just need time to do it... Would have done it today at work but it's a busy day.

will have the lockscreen your looking for, you can add it yourself if you would like, if it breaks the theme just reflash the theme go here and download the lidroid version, boot into recovery and flash the aroma installer, look for ice cream theme (not centred clock, unless you want it!) and finish the install, don't reboot, wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions and reboot and you will have the rom fully working with aosp locksreen

I don't really see a need to bake an aosp lockscreen into my rom but here it is for the people who would like it :D

hmm that's strange, the only rom to ever give me problems due to region build.prop issues was CM10, I've flashed tasks aokp build many times with no issues coming from all sorts of roms, one of the main reason I created this one is because I'm sick of not having a completely stable fully working rom, instead of being a troll and a nuisance in his thread like a lot of newer XDA members, I felt I would create my own rom that would work 100% until there is a stable 4.2.1 with working BT audio and wifi tether that I'm sure alot of the members here will flock too
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xijar:
Flashing now. As soon as I saw Dandroid I knew this would be awesome... Always named my WiFi hotspot Dandroid because my name is Dan!

Anyways, The fact that you got the AOSP look with the stability of a fully functional touchwiz rom has me very excited. Can't wait to get this bad boy running. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Oh and one quick question, could I just drop the american build.prop into the install zip so I don't have to play with root explorer or permissions?

PS. Your donate link is not working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Sorry about the link. The one beside my name to your left works though. I'll fix my sig when I get home from work :) as for your question. No flash the zip then swap out the build.prop file. You will have no issues
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xijar:
Thanks for the quick response! Now I am actually flashing now!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:

Danvdh... Are you having any issues with mms? When people send me pictures it opens up a separate thread for them to show me the picture, and if its with multiple people, it won't show me anything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Group mms using my AOSP mms app will be a little faulty. Regular mms works perfect. if it's a huge deal for you just grab gosms or handscent untill the issue is figured out bro. I don't see it in normal text convos with mms. The pictures I receive are never in a new message. It's always in the proper sms conversation

STOCK SAMSUNG TOUCHWIZ THEME NOW UPLOADED IN THE OP AS A FLASHABLE ZIP!

remember, clear dalvik and cache, fix permissions after this flash and let me know how it works :D

My real life friends and I noticed the same thing :D the rom and kernel can be described as "dependable efficient butter", that's how smooth this thing is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Re: [ROM] Dandroid v2.01 LL1 LATEST! deodexed, zip aligned, debloated. AOSP look 1/28

Finally had time to flash this and play around with it.. So far this Rom looks very nice and promising. Haven't encountered any issues so far knock on wood. Can't comment on battery life quite yet as I haven't had it for a full day. I will have a better idea tomorrow at work. Wifi tethering works flawlessly which is a huge plus over any aosp rom at the moment.

If I can get better battery life than tasks aokp on my device I think I will be running this as a daily driver until wifi tethering is fixed. I will post back later with more feedback. Great job with this Rom!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
The rom's battery life is incredible :) just make sure you clock it down to 1512 and use a good i/o scheduler and intellidemand. I get about 3 - 3.5 hour screen time, charge every other day. its perfect, also feel free to screw around with kernels, KT's kernel also gave me good battery life but he is about 4 linux versions behind on his TW kernel, if there is any drain. I can assure you its the kernel rejecting your phone and not my ROM. but so far i've seen no issues!

I also feel like its important to note that I have been using Task's rom on and off since October so I know the battery life you come to expect with your device, his rom really is incredible but no bluetooth audio is a killer, no voIP is a killer in case I wanted bluetooth audio, and wifi tether on the go train is important for my ipad's well being.

The wizard task said himself, AOSP isn't supposed to be better then TW, just different. Although I myself like it better and many of you are probably with me on that, I will stay put here until 4.2.1 is working in FULL on my device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HBSN11:
Cool ROM, only thing is, is that the stock samsung theme is not working when I flash it in recovery. Is anyone else having this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Apparently there was mostly an issue with some of the smaller re-sellers. As we are not in America don't know who they are, we call them budget carriers up here. If you are not having issues you shouldn't need to pickup this minor update.

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.4 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/0

This is the smoothest ROM I've been in yet with my s3. The battery life is actually really amazing with the stock Samsung kernel. Thanks so much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
If you are impressed with stock - I HIGHLY recommend you give kt a try with intellidemand / noop. Dan broke 4 hours screentime with this on the weeekend. Thanks for the kind words! Please rate the thread / click thanks so we can get more people using the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] umvagia0:
I agree, this is the best rom I've installed on the S3. Been running Dandroid for the last week and it has been as smooth as peanut butter. Check out the sick battery life i'm getting on this bad boy....

Great results without compromising any performance. You have created a masterpiece! Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Looking for peoples thoughts on some of the stuff we are working on.

- Moving the AdvanceS app into the settings menu. Is this more intuitive?

- AOSP lockscreen. This is a crazy amount of porting and merging and testing do you want it?

- OTA updater is ready! But would you use it for notification and just download from the thread? Would you like this process to be more automatic?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] biohazard917:
The option to choose custom AOSP lockscreen shortcuts would be great feature to have. Thanks for all your hard work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drwx:

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.4 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/0

I'll give KT a try. I've tried it a bunch of times and never get really good results. But I think it was just updated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
It was just updated we cooked it in. When you say stock you do mean you overwrote the included kernel of the ROM with the stock kernel. Otherwise you are already using KT =) I am pretty sure that is what you meant but just making sure.

Not every phone is the same. Some people find certain kernels are massively different for one reason or another, so give them a shot. Just think for the vast majority of people they are going to find that kt/intellidemand (or ktoonservative) / noop is the best setup. For those less inclined to test many options I would try the stock LL1 kernel and KT.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proper69:
Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.4 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/0

I flashed in the stock kernel. I've never had any luck with other kernels on my s3 since launch day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] afropoet:

Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.4 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/0

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
The clock is changed so might be blandroid + themes or dandroid + themes or whatever. Both should in theory be similar in terms of battery life.

I'll check into the WiFi for you. The drain I haven't seen myself. Also I've been off WiFi all day and still at 81% with 40 min screen time. So this seems unique

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
We are in the process of finalizing the next and final major build for 4.11. We are happy with where the ROM is at and will look forward to seeing some more long term usage stats. We will still be around to deal with concerns people have. If you would like to be notified of updates after 2.5 the goo.im application will notify (and even OTA update if you want). Obviously I will still troll the forums far too often.

Was a great learning experience putting this ROM together with Dan and just want to thank him for getting me involved.

There are some open requests that are coming "eventually"

- Hold back to kill (this is the biggest thing I know people want and I will try to get this out soon)

- Add samsung voice recording to calls.

- Stop device waking and unlocking when headphones are attached.

- Probably others I have forgot.

Very open to suggestions. If you see something cool that you think I should look at please shoot me a PM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mixxy:
any chance you will add the video player app back? samsung's video player might be one of the only apps that i actually use on the s3, thats also made by samsung.

It supports a LOT of codecs and is very smooth.

i tried placing it in the system/app folder and changing permissions but got no luck. If you wouldnt consider readding it, could you advise about how i can get it back?

thanks again =)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:

Copy my settings for the new APN. Make sure there's a dot next to it before you leave the APN screen. For APN Type just choose Internet + MMS...mines different now because I swapped ROMs again temporarily but this is what works for me on this ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zugshad:
nice.. i jsut updated to 2.4 last night with a clean install to wake up to another update ;) ...good job.. downloading 2.5 now and going to install.. just wondered if rest have just done a dirty flash over or if you recommend a clean install if goin from 2.4? going to nand and do it anyway, jsut figured see if got an answer before done downloading if there was a known issue..

also.. one thing noticed goin to 2.4, did yall change the boot animation? wasnt the same as what i had on the 2.3.. and also, haven't really been seeing the AdvanceS option in either settings or in the apps.. im going to double check, but jsut wasnt seeing it unless it was the QuickPanel Settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
In older versions 15 toggles its quicksettings

In 2.5 its 23 toggles use advanceS

Yes I wanted the boot animation to go back to stock samsung, Dan liked the AOSP we rolled and I won.

As for dirty, as always go ahead and dirty flash you will be fine 90% of the time. BUT if you have problems don't mention them in here until you have done a clean flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zugshad:
yeah.. always make sure i clean flash before asking or reporting anything.. i just wasnt sure if anything major was done (like mentioned in 2.4) that would require the clean install was all.. will give it a shot and worste case, have to clean install :)

That's all I did -- just long-press and add .bak to the file name. The icon will stay the same.

As far as I know, this is "working", although it's difficult to tell if a battery leak has been stopped.
