[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] seglda:
Alright, so I love AOSP ROMs. I really do. I feel they're a lot more functional and smooth and I hate how on TW roms the Notification Drawer has that very subtle choppiness in its opening and I hate how they themed all of the icons and AOKP has so many more features for me.

I would love to stay on AOSP ROMs, however, I live (and more importantly work) in a place where Sprint signal can be choppy at points, and AOSP ROMs still have the handoff issue they've always had. (even back on my Epic 4G, I remember this.) This has become more of an issue now that they're rolling out LTE in spots in my area. I had my sister's GS3 and mine right next to each other, hers on a completely untouched official Samsung firmware and mine on the unofficial AOKP 4.2 from here. Her phone was able to see the LTE signal and connect and allow me to speed test it, whereas mine saw it after a couple airplane mode cycles, connected, but kept dropping connection when I tried to do anything with it.

I guess my question is this: is there any AOSP ROM that has no handoff issues whatsoever? What causes the issue? I'm not even concerned about LTE if we could just have 3G be reliable.

I really don't want to go back to a TW ROM, but I will if that's what it takes.

And I guess my final question: what TW ROM is the best for someone like me who wants it to feel like the AOSP experience?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well the aosp roms generally have that issue sporadically so you may have to live with it, or you can try some signal tweaks in your build prop to help your 3g signal.

If you were on a tw rom, you could try fre3 gs3 or the people's rom, which are both supported by mah buddy naddict and team noobz, who have a plethora of themes, to include aosp, to give you the feel of aosp while on a tw rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] seglda:
Alright.

I tried.

I couldn't.

I hate Touchwiz-based ROMs. It's not even Touchwiz, that's easily fixed, but the notification drawer, the layout of the settings, the LACK of settings. D:

I would seriously donate quite a bit of money to any project that was an AOSP ROM without data handoff issues. I'm so tired of it, but I just can't tolerate Touchwiz to fix it.

There has to be something! D:

Sorry, had to upload it to dropbox. Hope it works. Although of you are on 4.2, of should be installed already.

Although if you should install it on cm10 stable. It wasn't added till later.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] getinnocuous:
seglda, I know your pain. I live in an area with pretty weak Sprint signal, even in my own home, and while TouchWiz has proven to be reliable and stable, it really has nothing on AOSP. I've gone through a lot of threads in this section regarding this issue and the lackluster data speeds that sometimes come as a result of it, and unfortunately a lot of them end with people pretty much saying "Nope, you're reading the signal wrong or you need to update PRL, etc. etc." One of them, I'll have to look for it, points out that in CDMA/EVDO mode, AOSP connects to EVDO Rev A6 while TW connects to A8. Not sure if that definitely affects anything, but I still wonder how that could be fixed. I too would be willing to make some generous donations to finding out how to sort all this out. Until then, thanks Whiplashh for uploading the old handoff fix, I know it should be fixed in 4.2 already, but if it is then I don't understand why I'd still get dropoffs in CDMA/EVDO/LTE. I admit I'm not knowledgeable about any of this stuff, so just take all this as a rant regarding my observations during use. :)

I am running Liquid Smooth RC2... how can I tell i it's installed already??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Do you have bad handoff from 4G to 3G? It was incorperated in all 4.2 ROMs...

Sent From My Rooted, S-OFF'd Blackberry Curve using the iOS XDA Application for Android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Not a problem man. And also remember: anything 4.2 is still off nightlys from cm10.1, so it may have the handoff update, but they could still be working on signal issues. Sorry signal sucks at your house too. :( what ROM are you running?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I am running liquid smooth also and I found that I get weaker signal on this compared to tw ROMs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
It is said touchwiz displays a higher signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
Touchwiz and AOSP pull the same signal strengths, but AOSP will display a -80dBm value with 4-5/6 bars, while AOSP will display it as 2/4 bars, depending on the asu. Sprint wants people to think they always have good signal (same reason the 3G icon is displayed when connected to 1x, by default.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Is your market currently receiving Network Vision upgrades? If so, that's most likely the reason. That happened to me a ton while Chicago was being upgraded, but I haven't had any problems since they finished my area.

After installing this over SlimROM 4.2.2 build 2, I immediately started getting 4g inside my house not to mention my call and texts are now starting to go through at SXSW not to mention now I am actually seeing 4g downtown.

Make your phone behave like a real parrot.

Real Parrot can learn words from your phone calls and say these words as well as parrot sounds while your phone is asleep.

Imagine you are setting with your friends and family, your phone speaks by itself every few minutes in extremely hilarious way.

*** !!! ***

First of all, the parrot can sing so you may listen to its sounds. These sounds are parrot voices taken from the real world. However, the parrot loves to talk the human language and tries to learn it. It initially does not know any word. While you are talking with your phone, it may listen, learn some words and try to memorize them. Then, you can set your parrot to say what it has learnt in specific interval. Every time you have a call, the parrot learns new words and save them in its memory.

*** !!! ***

You can listen to the parrot sounds during the time of the day.

You do not have to keep the app running, it works in the background.

It is very gentle on the battery. Its consumption can be barely noticed.

It is free, no ads.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shaun11787:
I love using MeanBean Rom and the only issue i have is when i connect my phone to my Car Radio via USB, I cant get the phone to toggle between "Disk Drive" and "HTC Sync Manager". The icon in the notification area keeps popping up, but not long enough for me to click on it to change the "USB Connection Type". Same thing with the charging via USB through the car radio, keeps going on then off, on then off. Anyone else having this problem?

Alright, I hate having to post a new thread on this topic, but I cannot find any solution, or anything close to a solution for this. my problem is that i cant get back to stock from the newest firmware. I had unlocked, rooted, and gotten s-off all before the update. After that, i flashed a few things, and ended up updating to the newest radio and firmware number (2.04.605.2, and 1.01.01.0110). now i want to go back to stock and start fresh, but nothing seems to work. Trying the RUU method only gets me to a 158 Image error about 3 minute into the process, and i cant seem to get back to 1.15. any help is much appreciated. I've been at it, searching for 5 days. if i missed something, or missed a thread, please let me know, thank you in advance ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Flash the ENG Hboot then you will be able to run the RUU. Making sure you have the bootloader drivers installed. I generally boot into the bootloader and verify the drivers are loaded BEFORE running the RUU. I can say I have flashed the RUU numerous times so I know it works with the ENG hboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Yeap zone is correct, flash the Eng RUU or relock your bootloader either way and then run the RUU. It won't run on a stock hboot that's unlocked.

ENG Hboot & unroot

I'm having the same problem as the op. I downloaded the updates, and i'm trying to unroot my device and put it back to stock (I broke my screen and I want Verizon to fix it, without giving me grief about my software). I have the RUU and Its giving me an 158 Image Error. Sounds like I need to flash eng Hboot and then run the ruu.

Two Questions:

1. Where can I get / download eng Hboot for my DNA?

2. Which version of Hboot do I need? I currently have hboot 1.33.0001.

Ok, so I read this thread yesterday when no one was sure that this was real or not. Then I read from where I left off to just now.

I do not have this phone so I don't know about how the FWs work for it. I do know about Sammobile and all that though (I have an SGS3).

I need someone who knows what they are talking about to please respond to me (I will check your posts to make sure you are a valid resource, so beware). Is this real or not?
[Galaxy Ace II General] mkel91:
This cannot be real for some reason: first of all its name is strange, cannot be possible ME1, it must be something like MC1, because the second letter stands for the month of build (in this case MARCH so the third letter is C, not E the fiveth letter that is MAY); second thing, size of the file could be strange but all in all is acceptable; third thing is in the archive we have boot.img, Samsung normally uses kernel.bin.md5 for kernel's files in ACE 2; and the most important thing is the md5 checksum in incorrect!! and if you try to flash ODIN says md5 error and stop the process..

For this reason is fake for me!

I'm making more check, I could be wrong..

I will update my opinion..

And can Moderator just remove this thread from forum, cause there always be people who won't read all posts here and just flash this firmware. It is possible using DD command in ADB. We do not spread this brick package. Don't we?
