[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I've searched all over the forums and even posted in the "stupid question thread" and can't get a clear answer. Hopefully I can get the answer here.

I have a Canadian device running Tasks latest release (4.3 Aokp/Aosp). I have the MVLDLK4 bootloader which I believe is 4.2.1 or 4.1.2. Let's assume Dan's next release for this Rom will have the same requirements as his current version (4.3 bootloader, modem, etc). I want to try this rom whether it be the current version or Dan's upcoming release. Obviously I would make a nandroid backup of my current rom and settings. Then I would upgrade the bootloader and modem and flash this rom. If I wanted to go back to my current setup and restore my backup, will I encounter any issues since the backup was made with the older bootloader? Or would I more or less be stuck on 4.3 Touchwiz roms until further notice?

My other question is, I looked through the 4.3 Canadian stock rom thread. It mentions in there that upgrading the bootloader is optional. So essentially it's possible to run stock touchwiz 4.3 with my current bootloader. Why is it necessary to upgrade the bootloader to run this rom if this is based off the stock touchwiz 4.3 rom?

Any answers or information is appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
I don't know about the not updating bootloaders but I know that if you are on the newer ones you can still run open source roms fine. Not sure about tasks but I know all of the 4.4 roms like for example cm 11 work fine after being on the new bootloader. So you still have options to go back. I think you may be able to restore your backup, not 100% about this or how everything would work but I know once you upgrade to the new bootloader you can use tw 4.3 roms and still use any 4.4 custom rom. Its going back to 4.1.2 roms I think that is nonreturnable and I've even heard of people figuring out how to do that. In your case I think it should be doable but don't jump and do it because I said so. Hopefully somebody else can confirm but I know off the 4.3 bootloaders for att I have run plenty of roms besides these based off the official touchwiz.

Hope I was somewhat helpful. I have the i747 and not the i747m so I don't really know as much about it but I think I got it correct here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Thanks that is helpful. I think for flashing non Tw based roms with the new bootloader, I might just have to edit the updater script. And if I can't restore my backup, I guess I could always reflash tasks latest and set it up from scratch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Don't think you'll even have to edit the updater script. I never did and didn't experience any issues on those roms. They should pretty much be good to go.

Sweet. That's at least reassuring.

U can do all in your phone.. Download Es File Explorer download the ROM to your phone go into file manager hold down and select Decompress and select a folder create one called Dandroid go into Meta then Android then Google until you see Script rename it to script to script.txt then open it in ES note editor erase all the Lines that way Get Prop and then save it and exit the note editor then rename it again and erase the Txt so it goes back to default then go to main folder where you see meta System and two weird files click all four and compress them with es file explorer then flash that.

I bought a used S3 and I'd like to put this ROM on it (and TWRP), but it already has CM11 (kitkat) and CWM. I've tried to just flash this over CM but it fails. Do I need to downgrade to the stock ROM and then install? It feels like I'm missing something obvious...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I wouldn't downgrade anything until you read up a little more and understand what you're doing. Bootloaders can brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing.

I am also making a special flashable zip for people that want to use Morph / Wasabi.

Question for science: When you tried morph did you copy the systemUI over ours and then try to apply the installer?

For those that want the bleeding edge of what we are working on. I spent an embarassing amount of time getting Lidroids 23 toggles ported with great instructions from Wanam. Learned a lot today and did a lot of stupid fidly themeing by hand which as you guys know by now is my kryptonite. Here is a flashable for 23 toggles into 2.4

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

Is there any way to completely get rid of the aosp calendar? If I disable it, my calendar sync fails. I really like the tw calendar and how it shows the daily agenda along with the month.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

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

So you froze it then deleted your Google account and re added and you had the tw calendar back? I wanna do this too
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
Will look into a cleaner solution for this. The google sync problems with aosp calendar I don't think is an inherent problem with the ROM its a problem with the actual app. I have had issues with this on true AOSP as well. When I have some time I will make a flash that removes aosp calendar and adds back in splanner.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dabink:
Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.4 LL1 (newest I747 base)- ddexed-Full AOSP look or Stock TW 02/0

The Google calendar isn't allowing Facebook to sync bdays or anything. So ya if the regular tw one or spanner allows that then that's good. In the meantime I downloaded ebobirthday, does the job.

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

I used the tw calendar flash when I installed the Rom, so I had 2 calendars. I froze google calendar with tibu. I venture a guess that you could also just disable it. I noticed that in my Google account I was having sync issues with the calendar after this. I deleted my Google account and then readded it. It is all good now. My guess is that it was because both apps were installed when I initially set up the phone and the system was trying to sync with a disabled calendar app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idyar:
After spending an hour trying to get the splanner widget working in Nova I finally googled it and apparently it requires TW launcher. Sigh. Has anyone managed to get it to work or know of a dev that has? Would like to figure out if its possible.

I also had strange sync issues with calendar when I installed splanner and removed calendar. I followed the trick suggested and removed my google account and re-added and it worked right away. Will continue testing.

Edit Here is the flash if you want splanner back and dont have a backup:

Requires TW launcher which is flashable from here if you don't have a backup

I would just suggest getting rid of wanam and using enewman's new theme for this rom (which includes the updated s3rx frameworks). Which includes OGbatterymod, which gives you a huge variety of battery icons to choose including circles. :good:

The xposed mods are great but who needs them when you've got loserskater and enewman's hard work that does everything you want that for more efficiently :silly:

Not a problem teddy. Also if it was you that wanted a white dialer I saw chad mention an app that you could use instead.

Dandroid vs ???

Dandroid, team, thanks for all your hard work. I don't use your ROM - thinking about it - but I appreciate that you're making the world a better place one phone at a time!

To those of you who have used many ROMs, and particularly this one and the LiquidSmooth roms: do you find this ROM to be slightly less responsive than some other AOSP roms?

I ask because some months ago I used this ROM for a short while - 3 days or so - and was annoyed by some things which didn't work as well as they did on stock, and which I was willing to live without. One that I specifically remember is if a contact is displayed and you hold the phone up to your ear (cover the proximity sensor) it will call them. Handy feature, on this ROM in those days it took several seconds before my phone would make the call, and in stock it took a second or less. There were several issues like that having to do with the S3 "motion" features. It also preferred the LiquidSmooth lockscreen options, which I thought were far superior.

I'm thinking about coming from LS back to this for a second try, and I have two main desires: I want to be able to implement some kind of denial of specific permissions, such as listening in on the mic whenever an app wants, or sending text messages or making calls (Facebook), which I can do in LS. My other main desire is to have the TW camera.

I used to love the SUPER customizeable lock screen in LS (which it still has), but my new job's ActiveSync forces security settings on the phone and makes me use a passcode (no other type of security will work), and the lockscreen has suddenly become almost useless for bells and whistles. Alas, I am now denied the pleasure of a dope lockscreen.

Thanks for your two cents!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Im pretty sure app ops is in settings/my device/system so you can control perms natively if you like. Not sure about the camera.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Can't hurt to try it make a nandroid backup of your stable setup and try it for yourself. This ROM is TW based not CM like LS (sort of came off like you weren't sure of this). Now this version Dan has out at the moment is very very stable but you would want to definitely check out enewman's added goodies (AOSP KitKat theme and updated S3Rx frameworks.) Now if you want to be patient Dan has said he started on the update which will come with that theme and all the updates to the base he uses (S3Rx).

Not 100% sure how all your jobs security will work on this rom but yes the touchwiz camera works along with many other nice touchwiz features including the motion controls like you were mentioning. Then you can use app ops out of the extra settings menu added with the S3Rx frameworks OR you can look into some of the modules for Xposed Frameworks. I believe its XPrivacy or App Settings. And for your lockscreen you can enable "multiple widgets" in the lock screen part of settings. Think thats what you're looking for and it works with a password.

And I use that motion feature all the time for calling people like that. It works as its supposed to. Right away. :cool:

Hope I helped you decide to give it a try!

Because I lack patience sometimes and know many others do as well heres where you can find that theme.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50439977

Edit: Ok I thought it worked for multiple widgets with security lock on the lockscreen but no it doesn't. Not sure if its actually possible to make it so you can. I remember it working for me on tw 4.3 or 4.4 at some point. Sorry I haven't used it in awhile and today decided to try it and noticed.

As soon as I leave my wifi zone google play music only allows me to play 5 of my songs(specifically the same five) of my 3000 songs i have uploaded. All of the other songs are whited out and when i click on them it says "cannot play this song unless connected to the internet". Has anyone else got this, and/or know of a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cannothas:
Does Dandroid have Apollo on it? I might use that instead..... I have gone away from G-Play because of its unwillingness to work with songs I place on my device. It only "plays" well with stuff that is in its SD\Data\com.android.google.play.music\ (unsure of specific folder name, but you get the picture), and if the music is in a different location, it won't search to locate your media, it downloads it AGAIN from your online library. What a nightmare. Other apps find my music and adjust to work with what I want. Why can't Joogles? Peace out GPlay, I'll use something else for now.

As for your 5 songs, if you tell the GPlay to take another song and keep it on the device, do you now have 6 songs you can play offline?? As for fixing the other 2995 songs, I don't know....short of abandoning GPlay...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:

Thanks for the input. Besides taking a good chunk of the day, there's not much stopping me here. I am aware that Dandroid is TW and LS is AOSP. One day I wanted to find out why AOSP couldn't have a nice cam like TW does, and I found a link that I'll add if I can find it. I learned the answer was the camera is baked into the rom, it's not just an app.

One thing I certainly don't know: how can I find out what bootloader I'm on right now? Related, is the only way to update the bootloader to Odin to latest stock?

Got my phone back in the days of 4.0.1 if I'm not mistaken on version #'s, just days after it went down to $100 on AT&T because S4 was coming out. I rooted right away, but stayed on stock a couple of months (no updates from AT&T) before I decided on LiquidSmooth - back then 2.07, probably same 4.0.1 version of JB. I have not had my phone on any version of KitKat, and haven't had to mess with bootloader to do any of my flashes. Is there an easy way to find out?

Currently, I'm on the highest jellybean version of LS, 2.37. 3.0 is the next, and it's KitKat, which started me reading about all this in the first place :)

Thanks!
