Let's tackle this question one piece at a time:

Rooting: "Getting Root" will not reset anything on your phone. You can go ahead and Root it and when you turn it back on most everything will be exactly the same as you had it before. You'll have a custom recovery (CWM or the recommended TWRP) and root access, but it won't format anything off your phone (apps, settings, etc.)

Wifi Tether: As far as I'm aware, you'll have to flash a custom ROM in order to get wifi tether working. I haven't flashed a TW ROM in a while (been sticking with AOSP 4.2.2 Roms for a bit), but I know that Freeza typically puts together a really nice ROM that is really close to stock. I don't think the one I linked has Wifi tether on it. There's also Kennyglass123, who put together The People's ROM (TPR), which I really liked and includes wifi tether. Also, with TPR, you can easily use Morphology to do all your customization.

The only thing about using custom ROMs is that the best procedure is to do a "full wipe" (factory reset, cache, dalvik) before flashing the ROM. The good news is that there are many programs available to help you get your programs/settings back up and running. I personally use Titanium Backup, but ROM Toolbox Pro also has this capability as well as a lot of other cool customization features. My only warning is that trying to restore system apps (the RED ones in Titanium Backup) can mess things up for your phone if you're switching between TW and AOSP or between versions of Android.

OTA Updates: Once you're rooted, you won't be able to flash OTA updates without going completely back to unrooted stock. The good news is that this process is relatively easy, just some Odin commands. The better news is that with the XDA community, you only have to wait a couple of days before they've come up with updated ROMs that include the OTA updates. Freeza is particularly speedy when it comes to that.

Last Note: I know flashing ROMs and "starting over" with your phone can be a daunting experience, but I've found that custom ROMs are the way to go. Nowadays, they're extremely stable, get amazing battery life, and include customizations that can really make the phone "your own." When I first got into flashing ROMs, I stayed really close to stock, but now I'm really enjoying AOSP ROMs such as Slim Bean, Liquid Smooth, and my current ROM, Carbon.

Hope I've answered your questions!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mystical80:
Thank You very much!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
To add on to the above, theres the TreveMod Wifi tether app that you can use on any rom, its specifically modded to work with the Galaxy S3

And yes, like he said, it can be overwhelming, we've all been there...but once you get started, there are some really cool roms out there, you just gotta find what it is you look for and what features you want

But trust me, you picked an awesome device to get started with ;)

Good luck!

Oh and one last thing, do NOT flash roms/mods made for the international versions, or for other carriers. Chances are that you will either bork some functionality or brick your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Here is the link to TrevE's wifi app over in the Verizon SG3 Section. The late November version has been verified to be working on Sprint Stock (but rooted) MA6 roms. I haven't personally used it (don't have 4G in my area and the 3G is too slow to tether with), but others have and said that it works. It's also the app/mod that all the TW ROMs (with tethering baked in) are based off of.

Hope this helps!

Re: [ROM][PORT] AOKP JB-MR1 Build 4 | Android 4.2.2 - Galaxy S2 AT&T i777 [2013/02/25

First ^_^ but why don't you use the aokp boot animation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jerad_rutnam:
Boot Animation Change

well... I didn't like the AOKP pink boot animation much..... (Prefer something blue and black like on CM to match the UI)

but this build came with the Nexus 4 boot animation. (But I replaced it because I prefer the earlier nexus animation than it)

anyway i'll upload the next version with nexus 4 boot animation or new aokp blue & black animation (tried to get this work but couldn't finish it converting to S2 devices).

and thanks for downloading... and let me know if you have any more suggestions.... really appreciate... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Not bad for a first time port. Everthing loaded ok plus I dropped in AJK 1.19 kernel to sweeten it up a little. I have been waiting for something with the new mali drivers to use the latest AJK with. Also I really like the boot animation myself. I am not a big fan of pink unicorns but I do miss the features of AOKP. I will give you a good review over in the AJK thread. Good work on your first try. I need to sit down and start learning how to port myself one of these days.

Re: [ROM][PORT] AOKP JB-MR1 Build 4 | Android 4.2.2 - Galaxy S2 AT&T i777 [2013/02/25

I can not vouch for this rom using the stock kernel since I have not ran it, but I have yet to run into any issues using AJK 1.19.

Re: [ROM][PORT] AOKP JB-MR1 Build 4 | Android 4.2.2 - Galaxy S2 AT&T i777 [2013/02/25

I got what your saying, I just like the boot animation to match the ROM I use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
I'd prefer no boot animation at all over anything with pink unicorns :laugh:

Thanks for the ROM! I can't wait to put it on my i777 to try.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jerad_rutnam:
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the update mate, good to hear that it works with new AJK kernel update. because I too tried with 1.10 (latest at that time) but didn't support 4.2.2 at that moment. I sure give it a try when I get a time. :)

Sure, you are welcome mate.. :)

ha ha... :laugh: anyway let see if I can get it work the new boot animation conversion, then I can update it on my next release. and you are welcome.

Thanks.. :)

Thanks a lot for checking it for me mate. much appreciate your support. :)

you are welcome and thanks for all the encourage... :)

if you are reading this... scroll up and thank the op for porting this over.

bug. when i first installed and got the choose launcher popup... i tried to back out and it rebooted. not really an issue for me. just letting you know. maybe they all do that and i am an idiot for hitting back.

messaging. >attach>record audio does not work. i went through and turned on noise suppression but that didnt work either.

messaging. is there any way to up the amount of text in each message. i get 2.25 lines of text before it splits off to another one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adoute:
Thanks for porting this - finally flashed it this morning, along with AJ's AJK v1.21a AOSP kernel. Everything seems to be working fine, except for wifi tethering. I can't get any devices to connect to my I777 using any kind of security. Setting it up as an open access point works, but either of the other security types cause other devices to not connect.

Has anyone been able to get tethering to work with security and AJ's kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] taze:
you need version B i guess (from AJK thread):

v1.21b

-AOSP version has WiFi tethering w/security fixed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adoute:
I forgot to post an update here. AJ released the b version after I asked about the tethering issue in his kernel thread - he had the same problem. Anyway, the b version works great - tethering with security, no problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elkinjp:
hi guys! i have a question! i want to try this rom with ajk kernel, so i wonder if i have to flash the rom first and then the kernel or the kernel and the rom after?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phermey:
rom first. kernel after. if you do the kernel first... putting the rom on after will install the kernel thats bundles with the rom over the one you want. be sure to do the extra steps after installing the kernel.

@ootri. same here. two days and extremely happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elkinjp:
thanks! ill try this tomorrow!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jerad_rutnam:
Hi

Hi Guys,

First of all thanks for appreciating what I did and for sending "thanks".

Sorry for the late reply, I was bit busy with some web developments.

anyway I think everybody faced the same issue with official CM10.1 kernel. (wi-fi tether, message record audio ..... etc)

so as everybody knows new AJK 1.25 Final works great with this rom. so please flash the kernel and see if anyone has issues.

anyway tonight I will be re-uploading this rom with aokp official build 5 + AJK 1.25 Kernel

hope everything will works smoothly.

Except one known issue that quick settings window swipe to flip still not working. (and until flash gapps even the switch button will not work)

if any one knows a solution (a fix) for this please help me out to fix it. really appreciate. :D

ROM is smooth and stable. Only thing I can find wrong is that the dock audio does not work. Deal breaker for me unfortunately.

ok. that's great, could u please explain me what exactly the program does?

well, i mean, i have used it, and it worked great, but somehow i have lost the backup of the EFS folder.

the program modify only the NV_Data.bin file?

or also other file into EFS folder?

in the first case, i have other copy ov NV_Data.bin original, so that i can make a backup now, and change the nv_Data,bin modified with the original one

in this way i maybe can create a backup of EFS...

thanks for the help....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martin.capeletto:
Hi, I've dropped my phone and now the screen does not turn on.

The touch works, i can receive calls (and talk) and the glass is not working.

It seems that something disconnected from inside.

Any suggestion? Open the phone and review something?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Wait what? The touch works but the glass doesn't? They are the same piece. You've got the LCD panel which is the screen display itself and the digitizer which registers touch, in other words the glass component.

Which of the two does not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Since he claims he can answer calls, it appears to me the screen is still registering touch input (I assume he swipes the screen even though it stays black).
[HTC Desire X] nikolas60:
can it be ported the sense 4+ for one s or one x to our desire x because its great phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] siris420:
My LTE has a screen that went fuzzy, By fuzzy I mean the screen turns on an will receive touch input however it is nothing buy grey colored fuzz.

I backed up my sdcard, and ran an ruu to unroot and s-on, so I can return it to my local sprint store for warranty repair.

I have some pictures of questionable integrity on the internal memory of the phone and would rather they not end up at the mercy of a phone repair tech. So my questions are two fold:

1. Will an ruu format internal memory?

2. If #1 is not true, how would I go about formating the internal memory while "flying blind'? Developer mode is off by default on the ruu I ran so adb is non functional.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Hold down power until the phone reboots then press and hold volume down, it should reboot into the bootloader. From there select factory reset/wipe and it should clear everything including internal memory.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mainstang:
I currently have the diztronic frosted/white tpu case on my white EVO. I loved it before it got really dirty looking. Anyone have good case recommendations for a white EVO. Pics if you have them. I would like to stay with a white grey or clear case if anyone knows one that doesn't get too dirty.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I know what ya mean. I have that same case and it begins to look a little yellow over time. I also have 3 of the Cruzerlite Androidified cases in grey, smoked, and clear. The clear one is begging to get the same yellowish appearance as the Diztronic matte clear is. I have a white generic brand hard case that looks good. It doesn't have a cutout for the kickstand like the Featherlite case does, but other than that they're almost identical. Biggest difference is mine only cost $6 shipped!! I've posted pics on another thread, but here they are again. I'll post them from my black Evo LTE (because they were taken with it) in just a minute.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
There ya go. I'm super happy with it. Doesn't offer a whole lot of protection of course, but does against daily use. The sides come up high enough so that the display doesn't touch of you lay it face down, nice feature I think. Been super reliable so far and no color changing! I do swap between cases regularly, so I haven't used it a whole lot. It has been used as much as my Cruzerlite and Diztronic cases though, so it won't discolor as soon, is at all. It's also much easier to clean up. It has a nice soft touch feel to it also

EDIT: I can post a link to the eBay seller I bought from if you're interested.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mainstang:
That looks really good I just ordered a similar one from eBay a few minutes ago. I'm thinking about ordering a clear one if I can find one like that on there.

Got a white one with kickstand cut out. Its shipping from California with a cheap screen protector for $3 something.
