Play store Link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mohammad.adib.roundr

It's called Roundr and it just rounds the corners of the screen. Pretty sweet

Ah damn screenshot cut the bottom off but you can see the rounded edges up top... Go try it!
[General Questions and Answers] mykail:
Hi.

I own a phone with busted screen. The screen is completely dark (well a corner of it is glowing slightly - so it's booting :)) and touch is not working. I figured I will use this phone as a hidden remote security cam on my propetry. I need to be able to controll it remotely via web but this is not the issue.

I would like to know is there any way to control recovery or fastboot via PC so I can actualy see what's going on on the screen?

I know about screencast but I'm not sure if it works under recovery. I have to flash GB and root the device and install some additional apps required for the security purpose.

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] mykail:
Anyone knows the answer? Please...
[General Questions and Answers] Sanjay:
I think u may not,because PC needs ur mobile to be in debugging mode.Since u go to recovery the of and mobile will not be in contact.

Why can't u flash it via PC only,.....

[General Questions and Answers] mykail:
Well maybe I can. But what about configuring the phone afterwards. Any way to skip it? Or should I just try to enable debugging via ADB and go with pushiing apps like webkey or just using screencast?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] connorc0405:
To access recovery, you can either use a combination of buttons on your phone or, navigate to platform-tools in the android sdk in terminal then: fastboot reboot recovery

On a mac: ./fastboot reboot recovery
[General Questions and Answers] CCVader13:
The most simple solution would be to order a new display from ebay and replace it.

But to answer your question: no, you cant control your phone via PC while it is in recovery mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Aweshocked:
So I switched to android 4.2.2 a while ago, on cyanogenmod nightly. But I saw mc3 was leaked, and want to try it.

Problem is it's 4.1.2, and I heard idle battery drain was improved in 4.2.2,but i can't recall my battery before this, since I recently got an extended battery.

Your opinion on whether or not I should chang to leaked "stock" MC3, or just stay.

I'm thinking about switching because I miss motions, parts of Svoice, and multi window was added in the leak.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
So make a android and try it. It doesn't really matter what we think. It works great for TW. There is a rdf for md4 so an OTA will probably be out sooner then later, is my guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Aweshocked:
Isn't it true that it takes time for a Rom to settle in before the battery is at its best? I rather not have to do that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
In my experience, it's only a day or two before it's settled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
LiquidSmooth>TouchWiz

I would suggest sticking with Android 4.2.2 since TouchWiz MC3 only has a few extra features which to me are mainly gimmicks while AOSP 4.2.2 is much better with a lot less loaded crap on your phone and it's easier to modify in my opinion.

I personally don't use Nightly ROMs since they tend to be unstable which is not worth it. I am currently using LiquidSmooth version 2.2. The great thing about LiquidSmooth is that it's based on Cyanogenmod+AOKP+SlimRoms+Extra=LiquidSmooth. Also with less bloat that means that there is less extra stuff sucking on your battery in an AOSP ROM. A very smooth, stable and fast ROM with no bloat unlike stock TouchWiz.

Or if you want to stick with TouchWiz I would recommend a custom ROM such as strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM, very nice ROM and much more professional and nicer looking compared to other modified TouchWiz ROMs in my opinion.

Link to LiquidSmooth ROM Version 2.2

Link to Odexed Blue ROM Version 3.3

Press Thanks If I Helped Please :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
I'm running Freezas MC3 leaked rom and it runs smooth. The new features are great. Apps like titanium backup or root explorer can take care of any bloat the TW roms have.

Sent from my Freeza MC3 Stock Rooted Galaxy S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
Yeah, I suppose you can remove the bloat manually but I find that a bit annoying. But it depends on what you like and want. Personally, my phone would pick up like 5/10 calls on TouchWiz while on AOSP ROMs it picks up all calls I make. I don't know why that is but hey it works. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigtex06:
I am running sons of android 4 . There is no battery drain issues on this rom. I can go all day with lots of use and still average well above 50 percent battery life .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaneledford:
I haven't used a 4.2 ROM in awhile, does anyone know if they fixed the issue with sound not coming through a dock when it is connected ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaddabeast:
Yeah its worth it! You get a more features
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
+1. ALTHOUGH, you also lose all of the Samsung features though, but I rarely used them (motion, smart stay, etc.) and they are mainly gimmicks to me. Multi-view could come in handy I suppose but I would just rather use the task manager, multi-view I would use all the time if I had the Note, not on the GS3 though.

If you want an awesome 4.2.2 ROM I HIGHLY recommend DeviantXone. It just got updated today with loads of new stuff. Great ROM and great devs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaddabeast:
If you still want a touchwiz launcher and android 4.2.2 AND paranoid android settings try out JellyBam, I ran that ROM for like a month
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
The only TW feature that I really miss is the stock video player. I loved floating that guy around and found it really easy to use. I tried the other floating players on the Play Store, but didn't really like them all that much. I currently use MXPlayer and allow the audio to play in the background. I deal with it, but once in a blue moon I'll restore my stock rom just to experience the glory of the floating video player.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] miller710:
Mention of that gets threads locked. Boooo. Lol

Im on strongsteves odexed blue. Its fantastic!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metayoshi:
I suggest that if you're interested in a ROM, go ahead and try it out. Different people like different things, so it's up to you to find out what works for you. With Titanium Backup and nandroid backups, it's easy to switch to different ROMs without losing critical data.

Personally, I ROM jump a lot. If I see something that looks interesting, whether it's 4.1, 4.2, TouchWiz, or AOSP, I'll check it out and run it for a few days. If I don't like it, I'll either nandroid back or flash another ROM I found interesting. That's what I love about Android. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaddabeast:
My bad, I'm working on a ROM as well! So when I get done you should give my ROM a try...I'm trying to make it fully stable :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
IMHO, if I wanted an AOSP ROM I would have gotten a Google Phone. Buying a brand name phone will always come with brand-specific bloat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Except, you can remove ALL the bloat....

Or flash AOSP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Yea, but the nexus 4 isn't on sprint (yet?) And the galaxy nexus is pretty old specs wise. If one person wanted the latest and greatest, and they were on sprint, it would most likely have to be a brand phone...

Second!

I'm so pumped that you brought this to us...ironic, as just the past day or so I started trying to port ROMs for the first time - starting with this one (one of my favs from 4.1.2). But since I couldn't get it to boot, this is perfect timing :)

Thanks!!

Thanks Jamie D... :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Thanks Jamie. Got this installed now. Edited the build.prop to give myself the 200DPI settings that you got me so used to with your early builds of CM. Got SlimPie working and disabled the buttons. Working just like ParanoidKANGAndroid already within minutes. Loving it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
There are settings for DPI no need to edit yourself

settings-interface-general *look here*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mervingio:
ready to flash...flash....and flash :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Yeah I seen that. It was those settings I used last time when I modified the DPI only to have my Play Store not to be able to connect to the Servers at all anymore. I could search for apps, but once I clicked update or install, Error cant connect to server. Not even clearing the Store Cache and Data did it work again. Even trying a whole new ROM, going to Baked and then back to PKA, worked. I ended up having to wipe everything and start from complete scratch.

I went into the settings and got the dual panels working. It has accepted the DPI change via the edit and still working. I would rather take a longer route than test my luck again with the settings. At least I know it works and I can still update and get apps if I want. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
gotcha, well least its working now haha, odd that it would mess up like that, are you using reg gapps or the slim ones?

Nice one OP, I have been on this rom from the other site where your listed as a dev with a bunch of your roms. I was hoping it would make its way here for broader use. I really like it so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquinn19:

Is there a way to turn off NFC. Every time I turn it off it comes back on after leaving the settings screen. Tnx for this ROM.

Thanks Jamie for the amazing roms. i can't wait till my new one comes then its back to flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
From what was said in another topic, they can use the blobs and other stuff. Basically backward engineer the stuff from the stock ROM for use with others. At least until official source gets released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Not Rom. Kernel.

Rom source is non-existent.

The only source under law to publish is kernel source.

As it's the kernel that's Linux based and under the gpl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Actually all of Android is pretty much covered by the gpl. The only thing Samsung doesn't have to release is source for TouchWiz. Last time I checked, Android itself was open source. Not just the kernel. It is for that reason why AOSP exists. So really more than just kernel could be released. Mot saying it will but only TouxhWiz and Samsung apps do not fall under some sort of open source license.

Plus there is no saying that they won't releae drivers for use. Something that will give better performance than the hacked up ICS ones. Could also have someone reverse engineer or hack up the stock ROM for use with other stuff. If not mistaken that is what Saurom was all about back when this device was first released.

Took stock and made it into something better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] weirdg:
I've tried a few different modems, and they are all failing. I'm currently using flapjaxx's UCMD3 modem, and that seems to work a little better than the rest, but there's still and echo. It's a an issue with the Kernel, because previously I was using JB 4.1.1 for the past 7 months and had no problems. Hopefully it gets worked out. BTW, I'm with Telus up in Canada.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
From what Ive read its only the kernel thats covered under the GPL which is where we get all the tweaks and stability improvements from that devs are able to put out. I'm no dev so :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Correct, Samsung does not release anything but kernel sources

Did you do a dirty flash or a fresh install? I wasn't having trouble with dirty flashing until recently. Random reboots, etc. So I did a fresh install and all is well with the world again.

I did a fresh install. I always do a fresh install. Wipe Factory, wipe system then install apps and then i installed the Mail exchange and my apps from Google Play Store but had too many boots during the day.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aimhelix:
Can anyone reproduce the same issues I'm having? From this version and the last version, running Instagram and then turning on the camera will freeze the phone or make it flicker and corrupt the screen. The only fix is a reboot. Same issue happens when running a 2d game such as Tiny Towers. I've installed the 5/4 version both the dirty method and a fresh install. Everything else works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandawg:
Disable HW overlays
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] troyolson92:
Totally agree!!!!! That is part of the issue that caused my brick.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

I will share my fix. I don't want to clutter this awesome Rom thread however.

I use tasker. With a boot up as my trigger I run a task that sets hw overlays automatically. It also set my ringtone, all my notifications specific to that application such as sms, Gmail, etc. I also clear caches, force stop Apps such as games, clear histories, check sync for late sync to drop box, g drive, etc. I do a ton off stuff on boot. It's sort of my house cleaning. Since I flash Jamie's roms so much, WITH CLEAN INSTALLS, I set ringtones, notifications, led lights and triggers, cpu speeds and profiles, etc, as much as I can through tasker. Makes my rom process slightly quicker and definitely cleaner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chiquito3:
I reflashed it and it worked great for a few hours. Then it started to heavilly flicker at the lockscreen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RickHenry:
Thanks for putting this awesome ROM out there for Note. Slim has been my go-to ROM on my Captivate, ROM, and Tab2.

I would love to use it as DD on my newly acquired Note, but I can't get the WiFi hotspot working. That is a deal breaker for me. I did full wipes, format system, clean install, but can't seem to get it working. Also tried 4aces kernel, still no go.

Searching this thread, I saw a couple of others with this issue, but found no solution. Is there one?

Thanks again. I know maintaining a ROM can take a great deal of time and effort. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RickHenry:
I'm hoping someone with more experience on the graphics end of this ROM can help me. Is there a way to make the "Disable HW Overlay" setting persistent?

I have one older full-screen game that causes the screen to go berserk. I can fix it by disabling HW overlays in the developer's options. Only trouble is, every time I reboot it goes back to the default "unchecked" state. I'm not sure if it is meant to be non-persistent for some reason, or if I'm missing something on how to use it.

Not a big deal since I can disable hardware overlay every time I reboot. But would be nice to make it permanent.

Thanks again for a great ROM. As Phil says, "happy, happy, happy...."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Partridge86:
Just did the disable Hw overlay and now my flickering is gone! Really appreciate that. But I was just curious, is the flickering and craziness of the screen because of the dpi settings? This is my first time using the slim bean and I am coming from the regular cm rooms so I really love this so far!
