Try the new public beta. It has number row and emoji support now.

Are folks having better results with the unmodded Secmms or the S4 messaging posted a few pages back?

For keyboards, try Kii Keyboard. It has autocorrect, dedicated number row, emojis, text shortcuts, themes, etc. It is like the best of SwiftKey, Smart Keyboard Pro, Swype, Slide It, and Touchpal all in a single keyboard. It's quite amazing!

For this reason, it IS better to convert a long SMS into MMS, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
I get the tw has stopped on every reboot as well. Comes right back, but just know you're not alone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhayami:
For some reason I still cannot get the cyanogenwiz theme to work correctly. And my stock camera will fc if I use the voice control option with it. Two small miner bugs but just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it.

As far as the theme it looks like it installs half of it and then the other half is stock tw green it is really odd.

The stock camera with no mods will work fine until that option for voice control is selected and once it does enable the phrases do not work.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it inactive with 4.3?

It usually did for TW roms but now it won't. The only thing I can think of is the new bootloader I just updated??

Too bad because that's how I would get my GPS working :(

Works for me on AT&T

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I have been flawlessly using the S4 messaging I posted, so no need for me to try the unmodded secmms.

Kii keyboard has been my go to for a long time now. It's great for sending emoji, but I wish the emojis showed in actual color in the text messages as they're meant to. Sometimes it's hard to determine which emoji was actually selected...

I would think conversion from SMS to MMS would be better in that case also, I could be wrong though. What would would be the best way to enable this? Modify the SecMms.apk or some other location in the rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Seems to me it is bootloader/modem/ROM related as it works for people on AT&T but doesn't seem to work north of the border with our booloader/modem combo using an AT&T based ROM.

Funny thing is I reverted back to Dandroid 3.9, which is based on the Canadian MF1 TW 4.1.2, and both *#197328640# and *#2263# menus are working with updated bootloader/modem.

Go figure... :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhayami:
Yes I do. And it is working as it should (s voice) at least but just doesn't seem to be connecting to the rest of the actions. I'm on my 5th or 6th complete wipe and flash trying to get themes and this working. But it is not a big deal just thought maybe I did something. O.o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Kii's emojis appear in color for me...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
On a previous version of this ROM (or perhaps the prev JB ROM from E&L) I noticed that when I used google voice to text someone, I would tap the microphone and say "Text John", and then I would get a verbal prompt "what is the message"...I would state the message and then after a moment, I would hear "Do you want to send the message". I would say yes, and bingo it was done.

Now when I say "Text John", I get no verbal prompts anymore. I have to tap icons to compose and send.

Is this a feature that was changed in the latest upgrade to Google Search or is this dependent on our ROM. Speech Output is on...navigation and asking questions work fine as regards to verbal output
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
That is the app, not the ROM. I've noticed alot of reviews in the play store for this problem. I have no problem with it. Are you using the update from recently for the app, or the inverted version from install? Im using standard version from play store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ezwalker63:
When using Google Search to text, you're supposed say Text John then immediately say the message you want to send. Google has eliminated the need to talk back and forth to send a message.

-EZ-
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Not on my app. I have to wait for acknowledgement of each spoken command before I can continue on to the next. Last update I installed was February 7th.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ezwalker63:
Just try it and see what happens, example: "Text John I will be there in 5 minutes." It should create that message to John automatically without acknowledgment between. If that doesn't work, I don't know what the problem can be. Here is a link to Google Search commands that tells you how do it: http://techblog.tv/google-now-commands-google-voice-search-commands-android-video/

My s-voice App works just like it should, double tap the home key, tell it send text to "who ever", wait for "what is your message?", say your message, she responds "Ok here is your message would you like me to send it", say yes and it sends.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
I hadn't tried it with s voice, so I'll give it a try
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Havent tried svoice but since reading this I've used google voice and it works well. Kind of don't like how it doesn't keep the msg in 8sms though but for driving thats going to be really useful. Thanks for sharing guys had no idea you could do this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Mine only works properly if I wait for acknowledgment. If I say Text John I will be there in 5 minutes, it pulls up all my J contacts and wants me to choose. Or if I say it slower, it will grab Johns, but the message will be cut. Its just simpler to wait for each acknowledgment to continue on. Its not a problem for me. However, I don't ever get *verbal* even tho all my voice stuff is set. I always only get visual confirmation. Always have. GN never talks to me. :what:

What's Kerney is better. To save more BATTERY? . SGH-I747M BATTERY DRAIN FAST
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scottdanpor:
The I747M hardware does drain the battery fast. No rom can help with that. This rom is rather good on battery compared to others. I solved the issue by buying a Zerolemon 7000mah battery and then I could forget about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhayami:
I did just notice something after installing the CRT fix. The option under "network connections>more networks" for the smart data where it would turn WiFi and data off upon screen off is missing. It is no longer there for me.

Hi! Did you find solution? I have same issue on Telus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pappcam:
I didn't.

enewman17 thought it might a csc issue but it looks like it's something else. There was a poster from a week or so ago on Telus that said he was getting the LTE symbol but I'm not sure how or why his setup worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
You're right I do have the "smart network" option. If I enable it, does that mean sms notifications and others will only come through when the screen is on?

I finally have my phone configured the way I like it and I'm super impressed!

My next phone will probably be the Galaxy S7! :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Midnight1970:
I have been able to send/receive text with no problem - until about 30 mins ago, when I sent a message over 160 where it tried to break up the msg into two - now NOTHING will send. Even a sms that's 3 characters long just sits and spins... nothing is going out now. Was using the S4, switched back to Note3, same problem. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
I had the same problem. To resolve it, using 7-zip, I replaced the tw mms in the mod section of the rom with the S4 mms from the link below. Then I reflashed the ROM and all messaging problems went away. For some reason, choosing the S4 mms in Aroma does not work as effectively as the S4 mms from this link. Go figure!

S4 mms - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2556929&d=1391448269 (previously posted)

I'm loving the ROM and eagerly waiting for the next update :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
I need help quickly. I flashed this ROM for my i747 last night and immediately took it off due to lag and stutter. But now I'm having a big issue. In AROMA I was told to flash the insecure kernel if I wanted WiFi capability so I did. Ever since then, when I reverted back to an AOSP ROM I can't get LTE anymore. It reverts to HSDPA and HSPA+. On top of that it seems like every 10 minutes or so my mobile signal goes out completely rendering me with no service what so ever. What do I have to do to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Did you flash the updated bootloader & modem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
I already had that installed, I was on the one ending in JB before I flashed the ROM

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

I had MJB from when I flashed the stock 4.3 TW ROM that was leaked late last year if that's what you mean. I didn't, however, flash anything given by loserskater since I figured I had already updated from before.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
Insecure kernel is only needed if you do NOT have the latest bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Crap, so how do I fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Have you tried to Odin back to stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
When you flash a rom, the kernel gets overwritten. Since you installed AOSP, everything is fine on the kernel side.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
From what I understand, I can't odin back to stock since there were no Odin-compatible 4.3 tar files released and I already flashed the 4.3 bootloader and modem so if I try to Odin back to anything not 4.3 it'll brick my phone.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Yeah I thought so, if that's the case I don't understand why LTE has disappeared and my mobile signal goes to "No Service" every 10-20 minutes or so for 2-3 minutes at a time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
You are 100% correct if you flashed the Official MJB 4.3 bootloader and modem. However, if you flashed the leaked MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem like found in the OP, you CAN Odin back to stock. It sounds like you flashed the official, non-odinable (new word) bootloader. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Here's what I don't understand though, I already had flashed the 4.3 official bootloader BEFORE flashing S3Rx. LTE, mobile signal, everything was working just fine before using this and since the AROMA installer instructed me to use the insecure kernel for WiFi usage, that's the one I went with. Ever since flashing back to AOSP-based roms, however, now LTE is disabled and mobile signal keeps dropping.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

Edit: LTE has returned. I had to go into Network Operators and choose "Automatically choose preferred network". Not sure why this was changed without my permission but if anyone else is having the same issue that's what fixed it for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
That's a good find. How is your signal strength and connectivity now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Signal srength is at -95 dBm 45 asu which is about 3 bars on the signal indicator. Before I was stuck at no more than 1 bar and constant drop to no service.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Therefore, it sounds like your problem has been 100% resolved now, right? :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Yup, completely resolved. That's why I'm hoping people can be referred to this thread in case they fall into the same situation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
No one knows how to change this path???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
Is probably hard set in the phone.apk. The only way to change it is either edit the apk, or create a symlink.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Thanks for your response. I've been using 7zip to make many modifications to SecPhone.apk. Which internal file do you believe contains the path? I've created symlinks on my desktop before but how do I create one on the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
I've run into another problem. LTE continuously gets toggled automatically to GSM / WCDMA no matter how many times I try to switch it back.

This comes after trying to flash this ROM. I'm thinking I have a T-Mobile modem installed but my device is registering as SGH-I747 and I have reflashed the official 4.3 modem twice with the problem persisting. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and offer some advice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
Can you ODIN back to stock 4.3 and verify if the problem persist?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
He is unable to due to being on the official 4.3 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
EDIT : If you have the MK5 bootloader, you can use ODIN with a MK5 ROM. You cannot downgrade, but you can flash the same version over with ODIN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Ahh... that's good to know! I thought you needed to have the leaked MJ2 bootloader in order to still be able to use ODIN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Would using Odin make a difference in flashing the bootloader than using a custom recovery? I've been using TWRP to flash the recovery.

Which camera are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
no wifi

Just installed after a factory wipe from Hyperdrive. Now I have no wifi.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
When wiFi is not working, that usually means an updated bootloader needs to be flashed.

When there is no phone signal, that usually means an updated modem needs to be flashed.

Both of these can be downloaded from the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goolac:
bingo!!! I only updated the modem not the boot loader....I will report back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
Why are you messing with the bootloader if the root of the problem is with LTE? Wouldn't you want to flash a modem instead?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Be sure to flash the MJ2 bootloader and not the official MJB bootloader in case you ever need to downgrade.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
For wifi problems, just install an insecure kernel. No need to update the bootloader.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrnovanova:
I used to have that very same problem on vr7 I don't think it has anything to do with the lockscreen but rather with its delay. Before I used to set it so there was a delay between the screen turning off and its locking, say 5 seconds. Now that option is gone and the screen locks immediately but when I slide I'm still in my app. Before when I pressed home even though the screen was off it wasn't locked that's why it took me home instead of the lockscreen. I'm sure there are ways to not lock and not go home I'm just trying to give you different scenarios to help you out.

+1 on Greenify. I've been using it for about a month now and putting apps like Google Maps in hibernation mode has made a noticeable difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
If you're using aroma, don't worry about the percentage, the default install will come up short, and the custom install will reach 100% and keep installing. It's nothing to be concerned about. If it says done and the log shows everything installed then it's fine.

I haven't installed apks through adb, but we're not going to use a different kernel. You can flash that yourself.

It's gray for me.

I'm having the same wake from home button closes app problem, but I don't use a lockscreen. I'm on Nova launcher. I don't know if this helps but I read that this issue is caused by S voice. If you open S voice and then hit settings and then click the box that says Open Via the Home Key, the problem goes away. The catch to this solution is that now you have that one second delay (lag) when you use the home button to return to the home screen out of an app or the app drawer. I've also found that if you don't install S Voice, you still have the wake closes app problem. I wish someone smarter than me could figure out a solution.
