I've got one quick question. When I am receiving group text messages they are not coming in as group messages. And there is no way to respond to the whole group. Just the person who sends the message. Is there a setting to change this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] froggydoddy:
Network

Here's another quick question.

All my Android phones have always displayed what network I'm currently conntected to by pulling down the notification bar. This ROM doesn't display that information. The only way I can see it is on the lock screen. Is that an AOSP thing?

Just curious
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
You can turn off group msg in aosp MMS assuming your using it

Yes I removed it while applying a theme to systemui

1) Nope, this is the AOSP signal cluster, you will find this exact layout in all CM, AOKP and vanilla android ROM's

2) go for the AOSP mms optional flash in the OP, I like it better

3) Thanks for your feedback, check my sig for my setup. some say it works perfectly for them

Last time I used Dandroid (about 1.5 months ago), there was a CSC edit that would disable group messaging (do not like it).

EDIT: Here's the CSC: <CscFeature_Message_EnableGroupMessage>false</CscFeature_Message_EnableGroupMessage>
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HappyPlato:
I don't have the mute/vibrate notification icon(s). Anyone else have problem with this? Or this is missing in the AOSP theme?

Wow, WOw, WOW!

I've tried CM and Paranoid but always went back to rooted stock for various reasons -- battery life, bluetooth issues, etc. However I really liked the look of CM just not the issues. Been reading this thread for the last two days and decided to take the plunge. You have done amazing work sir! Hats off! So far I've just flashed your ROM, been playing with the various settings -- so many new things to fiddle with ;) I'm going to give it a day or so to see how the battery lasts before I flash the KT kernel.

One thing I did notice is that my baseband version stayed on UCDLK3. I am on AT&T so maybe this is normal but I'm thinking not? Regardless it's working like it should, send/receive calls, SMS, Play store so I don't know what that's about. I have not flashed the build.prop yet either.

Also the tip to restore data from within CWM is stellar! How great is that? All my data and a new ROM, perfect.

Thanks for the great work!

Same here, the hour number is to high. If this is the only problem I have with this ROM though I can't complain ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
Your baseband is the modem you are using. Typically custom ROMs, especially multi-carrier, do not include a modem to be flashed.

UCDLK3 is the latest for AT&T. Check out this thread: [MODEM] Complete Modem List for both I747U & I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rcook55:
Ok, cool, so I'm good to go then. I was confused as the screens showed the other modem.

Last thing, it would appear that I've lost root. Superuser (not SuperSU) says that it needs to be updated but never does using either update method. Root Checker stalls out as well and ES File Explorer no longer does anything when I try to open the root explorer. Suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
This ROM uses SuperSU, not sure where your gettings superuser from

use chainfire SuperSU

this is probably a conflict with your CWM data restore, I do not recommend these although sometimes they have no issues

Great version (3.6) of this rom. I'm really liking it. I need some help, though. I am having to run the Runzheimer mileage tracking app for work and it absolutely kills battery life. Since I have no choice but to use it, is there any kernals I can try that might help with batytery life over the stock?

get the 4.1.2 tw kernel

if you don't know kernels well just get the Kinetic Pulse kernel from the Original Android Development forum here on ATT

also a write up I just did for the OP

Having a problem?

1) Full wipe

2) Do not restore System data or data from CWM

3) Do not dirty flash from other ROM's

4) When was the last time you did a odin to stock? this is important in my opinion and I'm not saying you need to do one but I just want to explain that custom zip's that I make and other dev's make in the shape of "roms" only affect

a few partitions on your device, other's do not get touched and can get messy/corrupt over the months (This explains why the GPS icon disappears in some peoples cases during rom switch) and this is why I get posts in this thread about people wondering why their baseband hasn't been updated after flashing my rom when my post states "MF1"

With this being said my personal rule of thumb is to odin to stock and then boot into stock recovery and factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, this gives your phone fresh partitions everywhere, a fresh system to root and the latest bootloader (which you need for any AOSP 4.2 rom). This is also a good time to unlock your phone if you have not already, then reroot and install custom recovery, update the recovery if need be and flash again on a brand new system

this fixes more issues then you will realize. some of the way people flash rom's on XDA and complain to me with problems is rather funny considering I have the install instructions in the OP, not to mention many of you rooted your phone when you first got it in the ICS 4.0.4 day's and haven't done an odin to stock jellybean to update all your partitions including your bootloader, I will go over my method with the community in hopes that you read this and it will help you all

backup all USER APPS/DATA with titanium backup, DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APP'S

reboot recovery

nandroid

factory reset, wipe system, wipe both cache/dalvik

install rom

boot system

reboot recovery

install AOSP mms, install a kernel of your choice (wipe cache, dalvik, fix permissions)

reboot

setup phone and download titanium backup from the market

restore all user apps and data

Every 6 months, backup internal storage to PC and I odin to stock, much like formatting a computer

6 months is actually a long time considering how much I flash, but this device can take a beating let me tell you =P

I DO THIS WITH EVERY ROM I INSTALL, AOSP or TW
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gpo1956:
Hey thanks very much!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rcook55:
Yeah it must have been from the CWM restore, I ended up flashing Superuser in recovery and it works fine now. I prefer Superuser over SuperSU knowing that it's completely open source and I like Koush's apps. After the flash it works just fine now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Updated the guide in the OP

If you're having issues on my ROM that no one else is reporting, or I haven't reproduced on my phone, read the following.

1) Full wipe

2) Do not restore System data or data from CWM

3) Do not dirty flash from other ROM's

4) When was the last time you did a odin to stock? this is important in my opinion and I'm not saying you need to do one but I just want to explain that custom zip's that I make and other dev's make in the shape of "roms" only affect

With this being said my personal rule of thumb is to odin to stock latest and then boot into stock recovery and factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik (BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER), this gives your phone fresh partitions everywhere, a fresh system to root and the latest bootloader (which you need for any AOSP 4.2 rom). This is also a good time to unlock your phone if you have not already, then reroot and install custom recovery, update the recovery if need be and flash again on a brand new system. here are my steps

1) backup all user apps and data with titanium backup, DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APP'S

2) backup internal storage onto PC

3) Odin to stock latest

4) wait for phone to boot then reboot into stock recovery and full wipe and clear all cache

5) reboot and root the phone and custom recovery

6) flash away and put what you need on your internal storage back onto your phone via usb, see my 2nd set of instructions below

this fixes more issues then you will realize. some of the way people flash rom's on XDA and complain to me with problems is rather funny considering I have the install instructions in the OP, not to mention many of you rooted your phone when you first got it in the ICS 4.0.4 day's and haven't done an odin to stock jellybean to update all your partitions including your bootloader, now I will go over my every day flashing step's.

1)backup all USER APPS/DATA with titanium backup, DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM APP'S (skip this if you did a odin flash to stock)

2)reboot recovery

3)nandroid (skip this if you did a odin flash to stock)

4)factory reset, wipe system, wipe both cache/dalvik

5)install rom

6)boot system

7)*(OPTIONAL) reboot to install a kernel now if needed, always wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions after installing a kernel

8)setup phone and download titanium backup from the market

9)restore all user apps and data (you will have to put the titanium backup folder that is backed up on your computer back onto your internal storage via usb first)

Every 6 months, backup internal storage to PC and I odin to stock, much like formatting a computer

6 months is actually a long time considering how much I flash, but this device can take a beating let me tell you =P

As far as kernels go, the 4.1.2 tw kernel works well. In addition, you can go to the link below and flash the TK Mod 1.0.4. It will do a lot of the work for you and and also load up some pre-sets to play with.

Network Connection

I clean installed (full wipe) Dandroid 3.5 a couple of days ago. Then dirty flashed, to 3.6. I've noticed that even though I'm connected to the mobile network, I sometimes get an error message; data connection not found. I have to click on "retry" several times to get a YouTube video, or the playstore to open up. I've never had this issue before.

Anybody else having this issue? I'd like to try to solve it without doing a full wipe, which might not even resolve it anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
not seeing this issue, can you repeat it? this could be modem and or carrier

Just full wipe man 3.6 is worth it and it's pretty much final
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] froggydoddy:
re: often losing data connectivity despite being connected according to the network icon.

I did a full wipe this morning and reinstalled 3.6. Same issue. Obviously it's just me though. Just odd how I've never had this issue before.

Maybe later today or tomorrow I'll go back to stock and see if it stops happening
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cubano07x:

Here's a screenshot. As you can see, the H+ is there, but I'm constantly getting this error...

Try using a different kernel. I had this problem before and was fixed by flashing a different kernel, phone would loose data connection after screen was off and turned on and used right away. Data was actually connected the whole time as well which was the puzzling part!!

Make sure your APN is correct, Google what it should be and change it, I am with bell in Canada, I had to change mine for the same reasons, also, if your APN is wrong, sometimes I can't connect to the xda app on data, but I can on wifi, I had this issue alot with other devices, for me it all came down to my apn settings.

More than likely a apn issue, take note of your APN on stock, than try and use them on 3.6.

re: lost of connectivity in certain apps despite being actively connected to H+

Ok, Re-wiped (full) Again. Reinstalled 3.6 Again. Checked all APN settings and they are ok.

I'm going to give up on this issue and just go back to stock as I don't have this issue there. It's probably an isolated issue on my phone only.

At least there's a mention of it here now if anyone else has this problem down the road.

I'm with Bell. I didn't do anything with the build.prop (to be honest, I don't know much about it)

Wow that was a lot of work. Had to figure out how to get the apns-conf file. Then I realized forgot to do a Nandroid AGAIN and lost the stock ROM (keep rushing through it too quickly). Anyway, so I had to re-flash stock ROM from scratch, re-root to get the APN.conf

Here are both the APN.conf files for the STOCK BELL ...apns-conf and the one from Dandroid ...apns-conf(1) They are both in the zip file.

They are different. I tried to create my own APN on Dandroid copying the Stock Bell APN settings but it wouldn't even connect after.

Hope I got what you needed. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Perfect. I'll take a look
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] froggydoddy:
OK thx, in the meantime what I've done is added (via back up and restore function) the Stock APN onto Dandroid. At least now it lets me connect whereas when I input the stock APN info manually, I couldn't get it to connect at all (due to user error I'm sure).

So I now have all 3 APN settings listed (1 from stock and 2 from Dandroid). Seems ok for now using the stock APN on Dandroid, but that's testing it for 5 minutes only. Going to bed, past 1am! Been doing this all night. :S I'll update tomorrow
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
kk let me know, and when you are not so tired please post your steps so I can see if this is something that will affect all Bell phones, Ironic enough I actually unlocked a rogers phone and flashed dandroid 2.5 5 days ago for a friend and ran into no such issue, and then her boyfriend's phone which is stock bell gave me no problems at all.

I didn't change anything that will affect secphone.apk, the apn's or anything that will touch the modem at all in 3.5>3.6 so I'm interested to see what's going on in your case.

I just got home from work now, had to take a bartender job for the summer to generate some extra funds, really sorry I couldn't sit down and look at these apn's sooner.

Nice ROM! Has anyone looked at a way to cut the empty space between the quick toggles and the notifications?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
doesn't look possible with lidroid, I actually broke open the systemUI to investigate the xml again myself because I would LOVE to do that, maybe I was just tired but it looks like this is the way it has to be, reason being is because lidroid stock comes with icon text + a icon bar below the text that lights up when it's been activated/unactivated

on Dandroid I hid these 2 thing's to get a more stock aosp feel and it does look alot better however it comes at this cost. =(

blame Samsung and what they did to SystemUI :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zathu:
That makes sense. Shod the lidroid themes be compatible on top of Dandroid? I may experiment with adding the text and icon bar back on my phone if I can find a flashable zip.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
as long as you only flash lidroid-res.apk and nothing that touches systemui.apk you might have some luck :good: open up your zip's and take a look first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] froggydoddy:
Ok here's what I did. Keep in mind that I don't know much about all this stuff. Originally when you guys said to check the APN I noticed that Dandroid was different than stock. I tried to manually create a new APN profile by copying the settings from the stock one. I couldn't get that to connect at all, but that could just be me screwing up. Then I noticed that the settings in Dandoid seem to actually be ok according to what I saw in XDA forums. However those settings gave me problems.

Finally last night I used the "APN backup & restore" app (along with Titanium Backup) from Google play and simply backed up the Stock ANP and restored in Dandroid. Picked the new APN and I haven't had any connectivity issues since (fingers crossed).

Hope that helps.

This is the best ROM I have ever used on any phone. It should be stock. I installed the KT kernel and ran the TK mod Aroma script. There are a couple presets that are ktoonservative - governor and row - scheduler... one of them has the Max at 1512 and the min at 81. It also has some screen off tweaks etc. I just recharged my phone after 26 hours of use...music playback... LTE connectivity... and 5 hours 6 minutes screen time. That is a win Sir! :D

I originally switched to this ROM after twice losing my IMEI number flashing Paranoid Android (CM base). I guessed that I would be better off using a TouchWiz based ROM but hated losing the look and differences of a CM based ROM.

The latest version of Dandroid ROM with your recommend kernel settings has made this an almost perfect daily driver. The battery life is outstanding and it's extremely fast and responsive. I have no real complaints at all. Thanks for all the hard work, Dan!
