Ok, this is going to have to be flashed.

Question though...is flashing a kernel over a superior ROM (from what I read) such as this one really needed? I mean for the developer's themselves, even though you've made a great ROM, do you still replace the kernel you use with this ROM?

Apologies for the n00b-like curiosity. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
No it's not needed. In fact, the stock kernel has been giving outstanding battery life for some. I would only recommend a 3 party kernel to those still facing flickers or any other issue with the stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Flashing now!! Kinda mad bc I JUST did a clean install of B2 2 days ago and now another clean install of this one hahaa. But I won't complain, keep them updates coming bro!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmikeramsay:
What's up, what's up folks!! So I know u all are experiencing GPS issues, as well as I am. I'm working til 5:30pm EST today, so once I get off I'll see what's what. I got a pretty cool new feature I'm going to be adding to the camera in B4 (B4 because of GPS issues and Exchange). You camera folks will get a nice little kick out of it. I'm gonna be updating a few more things overall. Don't hold me to this, BUT, I'll be shooting for a release tomorrow possibly, or Monday AT THE LATEST. GPS is a HUGE important factor for some of you cool people and I don't wanna hold you guys up from enjoying these builds. I'm sure you all know it's a general AOSP issue now, but it's also Saturday, so it's probably fixed already ;).

Anyways hope you guys are enjoying the build overall, and hope performance and battery is perfectly balanced the way it should be. Hope you guys are also enjoying the Permissions manager that was added in B3 as well. If you ever experience any wakelocks like I did with Google maps, use that Permissions manager to kill the wakelock permission for that particular app and it'll go away :D.

Stick around peoples, we're still on the road to Stable :D.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
HAHAHA you must be trying to mess with me cause I just flashed the B3! Well I just nandroid back to B2 because it woulda been pointless if another release is coming tomorrow!! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmikeramsay:
LMAO Dude i just read your posts lol. I'm not picking at ya, or am I lol. I would've waited to do another update, but GPS is a HUGE function, so I'm gonna do an update once it all seems going... I'll be testing all that today...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Lmao, like I said, I'll never complain about a new build!! :D But just curious as to what's wrong with GPS, is it totally broken or some-what broken? Also, ANYYY chance of a release for B4 tonight?! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmikeramsay:
Somewhat broken works for some not all. Might be a kernel thing, not 100% sure yet.

As far as tonight, can't promise that i will, but we'll see....

How can I know when there's a update to this rom? I checked through settings, do I need to manually download it here?

Also if I update, I can dirty flash right? And do I need to reinstall my custom kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Maybe since this is a camera themed change, you can add in photosphere ;) :D

Praying to God that this drops tonight!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
To check if there is an update to this ROM the best way to do so would be to go into System Settings>About Phone>Deviant Version and compare the Deviant Version with the Changelog Linked Here. (Keep in mind if the Deviant Version says "Unkown" YOU ARE OUTDATED and the changelog will list updates with WIP this means that update is a WORK IN PROGRESS and hasn't been released yet!)

To update, you can dirty flash but your system will be automatically wiped because of a Script that happens when you flash the ROM and this is good because it makes sure there aren't too many issues. Though recommended you don't have to wipe data, I don't,

BUT IF YOU SUFFER ISSUES AND YOU DIDN'T DO A CLEAN INSTALL PLEASE DON'T REPORT THIS ISSUE UNTIL YOU DO A CLEAN FLASH AND SEE IF THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE.

And since the custom kernel is part of the system then, yes you need to reinstall your custom kernel, not too annoying in my opinion considering this ROM & the kernel is all free. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] princem131:
This is the main reason I've been dirty flashing lol. Figure worse case scenario if it effs up I'll be back at square one doing a clean wipe so i might as well give it a try first anyway (after doing a nandroid of course). Figure while we're on Betas I'll do it as much as possible until there is a substantial or stable update as long as I have no problems. So far I've been cool (knocks on wood)....

I've got to give that permissions control a try google services drain has been my only problem over the last few releases. This will make the rom perfect for me!

Can't wait for B4! Hadn't even noticed gps yet.

I see how to stop wakelock permissions for maps, but google services "networklocationlocator" is the main culprit in better battery stats for partial wakelocks. Also what negative effects might this have. I'm guessing it'd have a similar effect to just turning off location services...

Anyone know of you can flash inverted gapps on the new playstore after flashing original gapps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks XDA Thread

Yes, according to what the article linked above says, it's because you have location services on quite frequently and you shouldn't do that unless you are traveling and using your phone for navigation.

This one is quite quick and easy to disable you can do System Settings>Location Access>Press Access to my location

OR if that's not quick enough for you, you can do System Settings>Xone Settings>Notification Drawer>Quick Settings Panel>Tiles and Layout>Add Custom Shortcut Tile then Pull Down Quicksettings>Long Press Custom Tile>Click Empty>Click Settings Shortcut>Click Location Access and from then on you can just click that tile and it will take you to Location Access quicker than any alternative that I know of!

If you want just inverted gapps then you can visit this link. Play Store 4.0.27 and 13 other G-APPS.... Blacked Out and Transparent (04/27/2013)

Follow the instructions on that thread for the installation of each google app! Most of them involve deleting the previous non-inverted application. For which I recommend Titanium Backup Pro for! Just backup the app and then delete it. And then install the other apk and you should be good but still follow instructions! There is also tons of version with different colored texts.

If you want just an inverted Multi DPI Google Play Store then you can visit this link. [MOD][ICS|JB][Inverted|Normal] Multi DPI Play Store v4.0.27

What's special about this mod is that it supports multiple DPI meaning that you can use 280 DPI across your device like I do and the play store will still let you install any app you want thinking you are 320 DPI or whatnot. :D PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS LISTED IN THREAD

Both of these links are kept updated quickly if you are worried about that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] princem131:
Thanks. Yeah I've basically been using the quick tile method to toggle. I don't really need it, but i guess I just feel like I should be able to leave it on. I've never had any real issues with it on this phone (on TW) or other phones it until recently with some of the aosp roms. Toggling it off fixes the issue but I guess I just would prefer it work and I wouldn't need to manually toggle and can use Google now to its fullest with out such significant drain. Guess I'll just jeep toggling. It has been significantly better on the newer versions in terms of battery life.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
Calendar isn't available by default in Google Apps anymore, except for modified packages I suppose. This is better for you, the user, because then you can update your other Google Apps like Gmail or Calendar quickly instead of having to flash a new Google Apps zip. :D Such as the Google Apps Flashable Zip still haven't been updated to the brand new Play Store! Which you can easily update to by going to the link below and following the instructions on the thread, it's rather quicker than any other method to just update the Google Play Store. Please follow the instructions in the thread to make sure you don't have any problems!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
Please give more information that just one statement if you want some good help. Like what causes the lock-screen target to FC? Is it random, do you do something specific? And also define in detail what the lock-screen target is to you, so I don't misinterpret to be something else. Then only can people help you. Thanks. :good:

Setting icons up and then selecting the image to system icons. I'm getting it too. This will show who clean flashed and who dirty flashed lol. Dirty flashers don't have to set those up again clean flashers will. I'm getting them too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Nah dude it just FC when trying to apply any icon to any app in lockscreen targets. Didn't modify or change a single thing to the ROM so yes it is random. Gallery and everything else is solid though. I really do appreciate the response but with all due respect I wasn't necessarily asking for help. I was simply just asking if anyone else was experiencing it. I'm having the same issue on my T999 on B4 and someone else has already reported the same at the TMO thread so it may be a bug. That's why I asked. I was just curious but again thank you for at least letting me know. I definitely know how it feels when you have to constantly repeat yourself when trying to help others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
It's caused by having a theme, this was an old issue that should be resolved but it arised in the midst of changing build somewhere. Just go back to stock theme and set things up and then apply theme again.

A kernel will normally work on a ROM that matches it's Linux kernel base and whether it's meant for TW or AOSP. If you search the kernel threads the OP usually has instructions on properly flashing it and if it's TW or AOSP based.

How To Flash Kernels

Kernels that work for this particular ROM:

Sprint KT747 Kernel by Ktoonsez

Sprint BMS Kernel by GideonX

BE SURE TO GET THE 3.4.X BASED KERNEL & UPDATED AFTER 4/17 & AOSP FOR THIS ROM!

i personally use the KT747 Kernel since you can tweak that much more to your liking, and it comes with a nice CPU Governor & IO Scheduler managing Application called KTweaker.

So in order to flash a Kernel you need to:

#1 Flash Kernel in Recovery

#2 Wipe Cache

#3 Wipe Dalvik Cache

#4 Fix Permissions

#5 Reboot & Enjoy!

If you plan to use the KT747 Kernel:

I would recommend visiting the following XDA Thread: Team Kernelizer's Sprint XDA Thread There is tons of tips on this thread and setups made by people who have advanced knowledge of this kernel and can give you the best battery life while still giving good performance.

Apn settings

Since two people have asked on how to Reset APN Settings to default, I decided to do some research and here is what I find out.

First of all, what APN settings are? According to Ehow "What are APN Setting Errors on Cell Phones?"

Simple enough definition, now on to how to fix this issue which is a bit more complex.

First, a few sites recommended that you should call your Service Provider on what APN settings you need for your device. But since your device is more likely on AOSP Android on a custom ROM there doesn't seem to be a way that I can find settings to edit your APN settings.

So I did some searching on XDA and found this thread:

FIXED: Can't send MMS? Sprint / Boost / Virgin Mobile APN Settings Problem!

KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE SETTINGS HAVEN'T BEEN TESTED ON 4.2 OR ABOVE SO BE SURE TO READ THE THREAD CAREFULLY AND BACKUP YOUR APN SETTINGS BEFOREHAND!

Also if someone with more knowledge could give a better answer, I have been looking dev tools and see if I can find a way to change APN settings in there, no luck so far.
