I'm curious if anyone has created a universal mod to enhance ripple effect and prevent the fading on the lockscreen? Mikeyxda has this featured in his ROM but I'm currently on clean ROM 4.7.

Thanks

Hoping someone takes interest lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
A good option is to PM mikeyxda and ask if he could do some kind of universal flashable Touchwiz Ripple Effect mod. Doesn't hurt to try and ask.

Hello guys,

I've got a problem, does anyone know how to flash recovery - CWM or - using Heimdall? I've tried running Odin on Wineskin but it didn't detected my Mini, and Heimdall is hard to understand because there's no menu like Odin and also I'm pretty new to Android - been using iPhone 3G for a long time. Can you please help me?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kosciakpl:
Anyone? Please? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Heimdal don't work with mini

And we should not use odin in any virtual player.

I have a htc vivid and the original wire is just about shot and I have to wiggle it into place to get it to charge and sometimes when I go into the secret menu it only says "charging via usb" and it charges slower and with the screen on and using the phone while charging it can get REAL hot, to the point of it not being able to touch or hold in my hand, I tried 4 other micro usb cables and only one of them seem to work in my vivid but won't charge as "ac" just as Usb like the original wire that came from the phone, I borrowed a buddy's cable and same exact thing, what should I do, I just have my vivid until the htc one comes out, and I can't relay on the phone, I can charge it overnight and wake up to only a 34% battery and when I do get it to 100% (very rare) it dyes faster than usual and especially since Wildchid's Sense 4.1 beta gets GREAT battery life...

What do I need to do? buy a new cable, buy a new charger port, anyone who could help I would greatly appreciate it.

The normal export to a VCF file doesnt export groups, im sure that is a Fact.

Ok, the conctacts are now in gmail, Great! seriously. But now, how can i sychronize groups to Gmail too?
[General Questions and Answers] Zeuscluts:
For synchronising group if you create the groups directly on the web site.

It will everytime create a group in your phone when you restore them

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well, I have a Galaxy S3 on Sprint. Lately I've been noticing that my phone has not even been accessing any 3G. I remember I flashed the LJ7 modem when trying out the GOODNESS ROM a month ago and I have a feeling that has something to do with it. So my question is, how can I find out what modem my phone is currently using? Right now I'm running MIUI v4 (Beta Build 6) with the KT747 kernel. What modems are available to my phone? Where can I find flashable modems? And if anyone lives in NY, what is the "best" modem for my area?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'll answer your questions, but not remotely in the order you asked ('cause I'm a bit ornery 'cause of tooth pain, or more specifically, lacking-my-wisdom-teeth-pain).

I don't live in NY, so I don't know which baseband would work best for you. What part of NY (Upstate, NYC)?

In

Freeza's stock Rom Thread

, he has the current modem (MB1) and the various older modems available for download. Note: the old versions are under the spoiler tag.

In terms of availability, the baseband is independent from the Rom, so it shouldn't affect you which modem you flash.

And finally, to check what your currently running, look at your Settings --> About Phone. What you're looking for is the last 3 digits of the Baseband. Below is what mine looks like (from when I was running CarbonRom a month or two ago):

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Wow, thanks for all that man. I really appreciate it. Flashing the MB1 modem now so hopefully that will fix my connectivity issues.

I live in the city in NY, downtown Chinatown actually. I work in Manhattan though and used to pick up decent 3G signals all over but lately it's been sitting on 1x and that lead me to believe that something was wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I know that as Sprint does network upgrades, they will take down some towers. A lot of people across the nation have been experiencing slow speeds because of that. I can't say with any certainty that this is what's happening to you, but it might be worth calling Sprint customer support to just ask if they're doing upgrades in lower Manhattan.

Oh, and on a side-note, last time I was in Chinatown (NYC), it was 2008. I was staying up by Colombia Medical School and had to catch a 8AM bus to Philly that was leaving from Chinatown. I had gone out drinking the night before and had altogether too much (should've stopped at the 4th or 5th glass of scotch). The subway ride down to 2nd was a blur, but the hangover kicked in about halfway to Philly. And boy, was it a doozie! Anyways, don't drink, it's bad for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Can anyone clear this up for me? I'm a little confused on which DL link in that thread is only for the baseband, it looks like they're all to update the entire phone for a stock ROM. I only ask because everywhere I look the MB1 modem is left out and I'm looking for that modem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Check the link in my Sig, it has a direct download of the modem... it's in the 3rd or 4th post, can't miss it...

Oh you are the best
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
In

Freeza's Thread

, look for the following text:

MB1 Firmware:

MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update

MD5: 6698D079BA1D61B6291522BFDA0919F7

It's the seventh link on the page.

The ones under the spoiler tag (look for the button underneath "Old versions") are everything older than the current one. Each of the files updates the firmware/baseband/modem. I don't think there is just a "modem update."

The LJ7 Update looks like:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Thanks but according to flastnoles11's post you can flash only the modems :) just for your future reference in case you want to flash a different modem yourself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well I'm running MB1 now and still have not been able to connect to 3G. I can make phone calls, text, and browse the web on 1x, but I cannot establish a 3G or 4G (Laugh, in NY, yeah right) connection.

I think I'm going to attempt to contact Sprint like topherk recommended, but apparently their site is undergoing maintenance and I can't even contact support that way. I don't want to bring my phone into a store so I think I'll try to call them on my lunchbreak tomorrow. Stupid question, but is there anyway for them to know that I'm using a rooted phone with custom ROM/kernel over the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Now, the only way they would be able to tell is if they see the flash counter or the custom rom itself :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
You can get an Airave, it's worked wonders for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well I'm not really concerned about my signal at home since I connect through WiFi, but in the city I'd like to have more than a 1x connection at all times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Contacted customer support today and they said there is an outage in my area and I should expect it to be fixed by 4/10. So that explains it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
That may explain why the signals are terrible right now but I personally find it unacceptable that in New York City, Sprint can't manage to provide the greatest speed connections and the most reliable service of their entire network. If I wanted the most positive customer buzz for my product where I had a presence in New York City that is where my product would be best represented. I have been being told I have or would have Sprint 4G for YEARS and they just aren't delivering. My most frequent exact location? 200 ft from Times Square and I live in Hells Kitchen with is 3 blocks from Times Square. Maybe I'm a little hissy about this but with most things I expect to get what I pay for, as advertised. If there were a remake of Rainman I'm sure he would say, "Sprint sucks".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
Either that or you didn't update profile and prl on a tw ROM. Not sure what you are running right now, but if you flash a modem while on aosp, you gotta go back to tw and update profile and prl.

Edit: Just read your OP again. Saw that you are on miui. You definitely need to flash a touchwiz ROM and update your profile and prl. I'm pretty sure that is your issue and sprint may be BS'ing you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
I update my PRL and profile often and it doesn't change anything. I always wonder why my PRL is Version 0 but I have a business account which I understand is Version 1. On the other hand I'm not sure it makes any difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Okay, is there anything specific I have to do to update the profile/prl? For example, if I flash JellyBomb v14, can I just flash the ROM, boot into it, go through the default setup, then reboot back into recovery and reinstall MIUI through a nandroid backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
You got it buddy. That should do it. Just make sure the updates complete successfully then nand back to miui.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Cool, well I just flashed Goodness, started the default setup and was presented with a window saying "Android is currently upgrading.."

I let that play through and was presented with "Update complete."

So I'm wiping data/cache and flashing back over to my nandroid of MIUI now, hopefully that will solve my connectivity issues. If not, then maybe Sprint was telling the truth about them doing work in my area.

Thanks for letting me know that though. I had no idea I had to flash to a TW ROM after updating my modem :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
I agree with you. I just purchased this phone 4 months ago, and decided to go with Sprint since it was about 20-30 cheaper than the alternatives. If I was aware that they didn't implement LTE in NY yet and that their data coverage was already shotty, I probably would have went with Verizon or AT&T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
Glad to hear. I'm sorry I wasn't specific though. Getting the "update complete" message IS part of it, but I'm almost certain you still have to go in and update profile and prl in settings. If you didn't do that, I would highly recommend going back and doing so. Hope you did though. :D

Edit: Oh yeah, let me know if you get normal data afterwards. I wanna know if the sprint rep was just blowing hot air.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Just to clarify, updating prl has nothing to do with your signal or data, only roaming... prl= preferred roaming list, when new towers are put up by other carriers that we can roam off of, your phone won't find them without an update to your prl.... profile is what handles sprints towers

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
That is very true, but from experience, if it's not updated after flashing a modem, data is pretty much useless for some folks. I've heard quite a few similar stories of phones being "stuck" on 1x and this was the cause. Either way, it's worth a try if he's gonna have crappy data for the next two days.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well I went to the "System Update" section under Settings, updated my PRL and Profile, but I am still not getting anymore than a 1x connection. Looks like Sprint my be right when they say there's an outage in the area. I hope it's to implement 4g so I can actually feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RS7JR:
Ah. Oh well. It was worth a shot and you needed to do it anyway. Two more days I guess. Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
I've been holding my breath for so long I have turned a dark shade of blue. I definitely had better speeds at the end of last year and when it dropped it happened at the same time I was flashing custom roms. I tried 4 and they were all the same (data wise) but I think I was incorrectly blaming the roms. As you say, two more days (unless they are running behind schedule which they probably are - Sprint Reps only have the information they are given and it's not always right).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
So, I've never been a TW ROM user, but today I decided to try one out. I flash CleanBean and the Anthrax kernel since I heard that they result in a very smooth overall experience. So I get the phone setup, and what do I see? I'm connected to 3G. I don't know if it was an issue with MIUI not allowing me to connect to 3G or what, but it's working now. No 4G of course because Sprint sucks, but 3G is constant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Are you sure its actually 3G though? Stock roms incorrectly report a 1X signal as 3G unless you apply a mod to the framework
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Pretty sure clean bean had that mod in it ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
After running a speedtest, my speeds are just as fast as they were on MIUI, but they are also same as when I first bought the phone and wanted to test the network. I think Sprint 3G is just horrible **** in NY. The few times I found 4G hotspots, I only hit speeds of around 14mbps, and while that is quite quick, it's a lot slower than most of my co-workers on AT&T and Verizon who hit as fast as 30mbps on 4G.

Well as always it depends on where you are

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dreamer609:
Had a question for everyone here. I just ran across this post today. I too have a Sprint S3 and originally installed the Sprint Goodness Reborn ROM. I flashed the L7 modem, without updating the PRL And Profile... The phone seemed to work great while on the TW ROM. Later I went to liquidsmooth d2spr and noticed it was a decent amount slower than on the Goodness Rom on 3G. I went back to the Goodness ROM, and sure enough, my 3G was working just as fast if not faster than before. I have recently read posts about how you are supposed to update the PRL and Profile and attempted to do go back to the Goodness ROM after trying out yet another AOSP Rom and update the PRL and Profile in the TW Goodness ROM, but it gives me an error and tells it cannot complete the operation on updating both functions.

Here is the catch.. I am using my Sprint S3 on Page Plus, which is a Verizon Prepaid Cell company. Is it still necessary for me to update the PRL and Profile, as I hear that the PRL is in relation to Sprint Roaming towers? It seems each time I go back to TW Sprint Goodness ROM, my bars go up (3 to 4 bars with goodness as compared to 1 or 2 with any AOSP), and I can tell its easily faster as well. (I am aware of TW ROMS distorting how much 3G you are actually getting). Any suggestions or observations would be most appreciated. Thanks.
