Re: [ROM] Dandroidv2.3 LL1 TW (latest)ddexed-dailydrive-verystable-AOSP inspired 02/0

Have to agree. I have not run a TW ROM or any OEM ROM since I had a cappy. Not to bad. I am one that also doesn't like the slider. With a toggle and the slide across the status bar to change brightness I don't see the need. Just got to find/make a few more mods for it and I'll be completely happy. Then it will be time to gothamize it. Great work man. Oh and if you need I can shoot you my APN file which should remove the need for most to have to mess with it.

Opps wrong ROM option sorry about that. So used to it being there and I leave my brightness on a set level and never adjust it so seldom really mess with it

Uh, I don't know about everybody else, but my APN settings are fine, I didn't have to fuss with them at all to get LTE and MMS working just like it should be.

download Rom Toolbox. You can change any icons you want. Very easy. Make sure to do a backup with Rom toolbox first. so you dont screw anything up, and also make sure anytime you do this that your using the right incriments for the battery. if this rom uses 1%, then stick to that, or 20% on this then use 20%

Np. Btw Dan, awesome Rom. Other ones I tried I couldn't get LTE. When I saw CANADA download I immediately did it. Thanks man. Really fast and looks great. At first I didn't read there was no browser, so I thought something happened when I flashed, but your right, no one should use that one anyways!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
no problem dude :highfive: glad you like it :) half the credit goes to idyar now though ;) without him I would be running out of idea's, he's a great help and has brought fresh new idea's to the table and without him this last update (2.3) wouldn't be available until next week

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Tried to use *#*#4636#*#* (and all possible combinations) but to no avail.

But, on any TW ROM I tried before, and it does work on Dandroid 3.9 and earlier versions as well, I use *#2263# (or *#BAND# to help you remember ;) ) to access "Service mode".

In this mode there are mainly 2 menus of interest :

[1] Automatic

[2] WCDMA Band Preference

In menu [1], the only sub-selection is "[1] Automatic".

Selecting this option enables LTE and all 3g bands

In menu [2], the available options are :

[1] WCDMA 850

[2] WCDMA 900

[3] WCDMA 1700

[4] WCDMA 1900

[5] WCDMA IMT2000

[6] WCDMA ALL

Use option "[6] WCDMA ALL" to only enable 3G frequencies, disabling LTE.

These options stick through a reboot.

I use this "Service mode" quite often as the only frequency that goes through the wall here at the office is the 850MHz one. Thus, when at the office, I use option [1] of menu [2].

EDIT : Note for canadian users, in Canada, the only 3g frequencies available are 850MHz and 1900MHz. This means that only options [1], [4] and [6] of the "[2] WCDMA Band Preference" menu will work.

Hope this helps others as well! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Problem with this is you can't re enable LTE :( sadly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
You sure about that? :confused:

I always use this method to force switch on 3g and then back to LTE and I can confirm I have a 4g icon in the status bar and corresponding LTE transfer speeds.

Note that the phone doesn't switch back to LTE upon reactivating it. It takes a little while... between 30 seconds and 1 minute usually when in a good reception zone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djjohnnyblaze:
Can someone confirm that this works on 4.01 with the new kernel? This menu looks different than the *#*#4636#*#* menu and may produce better results. Anyone willing to try this and see if Canadian users can switch back and forth between WCDMA/GSM and LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Exmet:
1. Welcome back Dan.

2. Is the GPS locking issue an inability to locate position, frequent loss of GPS signal or extended duration for initial position location? It takes a little while for my phone to locate it's position and often loses GPS signal. I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour or something that requires a fix.

3. Does anyone have the stock TW email app?

4. I do not have a data plan and therefore only use WiFi for anything other than calls/texts. Does LTE on/off affect me at all?

5. Thanks.

6. If anyone wants to add the "DANDROID" logo to their signature (or anywhere else), I've included the image.

just to be clear, does that mean no tethering since "ATT wifi hotspot is disabled"?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Felchy:
Did you try this fix from the OP?

I was running CM10.1. I Odin'd to stock, rooted and flashed 3.9 and couldn't a GPS lock. I ran the fix from the OP and everything seems good now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Exmet:
I didn't try it because my GPS locks. It intermittently loses its lock though and I'm not sure that it even has a problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
Sometimes this occurs infrequently between TW ROMs, but appears to happen more often when switching between AOSP-style ROMs then to TW ROMs. This I assume is due to drivers, but alas, it happens. Check out this thread for fix(es) for the common problem that plagues our S3s: [READ] How to get your GPS back! (No GPS showing/GPS giving general location)

(As Felchy put, the OP includes a set of directions that can be found in this thread. Some find the NV rebuild to only be a temp patch, and ODINing to Stock is the only permanent fix. YMMV.)

Although Dan clearly expressed his feelings about the TW email app when it was last requested:

Not necessarily. As Dan stated, TW is good about going to H+ in weak LTE spots, but the biggest battery drain is during use of LTE. Therefore, I doubt it will affect you.

Second, any chance of getting the stock clock apk? It was mentioned briefly a couple weeks ago, and I tried flashing a different one I found in the stock sticky thread, but couldn't get it to work....maybe just my ignorance.

HD widgets are the best IMO, there is a small add on back with AOSP style widgets too. I love it

as for the stock clock, clockpackage.apk was over 25mb so I ship the ROM with AOSP 4.2.2 deskclock which comes in at 3mb and produces way less wakelocks during an alarm setting.

Thanks for this, will upload this and add to the OP tonight

This is just a preset WIFI network AT&T ships their ROM with, I just disabled it since Canadian users cant use it

Hey. I'm really enjoying this ROM so far. Surprising since I've been on AOSP since I rooted. Anyway I was wondering if this usage is normal. It seems like Media Server and Android System are taking up a lot of battery.

not normal bro. what kernel are u using and did you clean flash my ROM from you're previous?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] majikmonkie:
Just flashed this lastnight. Seems to be a bit slow on my phone though, I'll have to track down what that is though. Came from CM10.2, so I think I need a full format and flash stock then re-flash this. Having issues with GPS that I can't seem to fix.

I was able to get LTE working on Rogers though by fixing the APN's to these: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732633

And then I did the *#2263# and selected LTE Band Preference to LTE ALL and it threw me into 4G. Not exactly sure if yet what will happen if I go out of LTE service area (if it'll fire me back to H+/H/3G/etc.).

Also, wondering why I can't get rid of Talkback notification after a boot? I've disabled/frozen Talkback, but after every boot I have to go into accessibility and go into one of them to get rid of the Talkback notification.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
Clean flash since I was on AOSP and stock kernel.

I haven't restructured my file system, yet, but I plan on doing that tonight. I don't think that would be causing this problem, though. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
The talkback is a bug from Samsung, it has something to do with how apps handle notifications with accessibility settings since the apps can't use system notifications... This is also something Google changed in 4.2.2 I think.. now apps can use the system notifications instead of having to use accessibility settings as a work around.... something like that.

I really, really, really recommend formatting your internal sdcard, it made such a huge improvement on my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] penpencalf:
I recently switched from AOKP to Dandroid(3.9) by first flashing a stock rom through odin followed by flashing this rom. I love almost very aspect of this rom except battery life. I followed the original thread to flash KT kernel to optimize the battery. The problem is that there are a lot of wake ups due to geofencerstatemachine (google services) and FbclientConnManger. I had tried to erase the cache from google service/ framework and disabled facebook notification, but still no luck. One pattern I observed is that the two processes are most active when I turn airplane mode on. Any idea would be very much appreciated.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] majikmonkie:
Yeah, Can't seem to get my work computer to recognise the phone properly to Odin/ADB. Will have to do a complete format at home and Odin Stock, then reflash this. There's a lot of crap on there from the last year or so that I probably don't need anymore.

So no solution for the Talkback thing? It's not so bad, just have to clear it after every boot...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Stock kernel is the best on battery life for my phone anyway, You will notice I took the KT settings down because I noticed he is building his kernels for this phone blind now, they are not going to be as good as when he was testing his releases.

Literally just clean flash my ROM, let the kernel settle a bit and then set up you're phone when its cool to the touch and you should have zero issues

PS: Glad to see your back and on the road to a full recovery......all the best.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
First back up anything that's important to you.

Now when you reboot into twrp go to the wipe menu. Select advanced wipe. Next it will give you the available partitions you can format. Select the internal SDcard, system, data, cache, dalvik. Mind you, you will lose all your game data, pictures... Blah blah but it's best to start all over again re-download everything.

Install the ROM

After its booted I always let my phone cool down. I don't know about yours but mine gets rather warm after flashing.

Restore your apps. If your backups come from an aosp ROM, I'd only restore the app no data.

Enjoy!

Testing a 334mb 4.1 build now ;) I'm quite sure this will be the smallest touchwiz ROM shipped on these forums, I truly am trying to go for a full vanilla android experience here using this base, we have an advantage over AOSP users simply because these drivers are not open source, they work better. period, the open source drivers will work, just never as well. Sure they got 4.3, but I got 5 hours screen time on a stock battery and a fully stable system I never have to worry about (on previous builds, still testing this one but it looks great so far) :P

If you are interested in the full feature set of touchwiz (things like face unlock, polaris office, Svoice, Smemo), I recommend S3RX. it's very awesome and feature packed, The AROMA installer they offer really allows you to customize the experience, once you use it you will realize why I based Dandroid off of it. I can also perhaps work with enewman17 and offer this theme in their aroma. I have the permission from the dev over on the international boards to do whatever with it :)

Things I've removed

-Apollo (it sucks, stock music player sucks. I recommend Poweramp, you will never ever look back)

-gmail (It needed an update anyway, get it from the market)

-facelock (if you use this, shame on you :P) (btw this is like 24mb)

-A ton of useless libs

-A ton of apks in system/app that are not needed and won't break the system

-More foreign language stuff
