TWRP 2.6.3.1

Im ready to install the ROM and I have a few questions on TWRP. I put the ROM zip file on my external sd card and Im in TWRP and my question is I do factory reset, but do I go into the advanced wipe and check all the boxes there and wipe dalvik system data internal storage cache also? The options in advanced wipe are Dalvik cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, Micro SDcard, and USB-OTG. On the page before it it says that in most cases the factory reset is the only one you need but I just installed MJ2 bootloader and MJB radio and am running 4.1.2 so do I need to do anything other than just the factory reset? Thanks for being patient with me Im just not interested in botching this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
You can use the aroma wipe for the wiping. If you are wanting to format internal, make sure you backed up to a computer first. Don't remember if aroma offers internal wipe or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
I don't believe aroma offers an internal wipe option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electrojas:
Is it something I should do? Would you do it? I am running Hyperdrive RLS 16 right now 4.1.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
According to the devs, yes, you should wipe the internal memory. I did it without issue.

I installed it but,(Must be a 4.3 thing) it's not loading Web pages with flash content using the stock browser
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fffft:
You should be good if your bootloader and modem are MJB.

As wifi is still giving you grief, it'd probably be best to start over as suggested as it sounds like you may had something conflicting lingering around or perhaps missed a step. But the following configuration change could get you up and running faster if you want to try it: Use a root aware text editor and edit your build.prop file. The entry you wish to edit (or add) is:

ro.securestorage.support=false

Very strange but redoing all this from scratch fixed my wifi issue. the usual full wiping all system, data, etc and reflashing didnt work. had to start over completely in the exact order outlined in this post. maybe updating TWRP was the key.

Thanks!

I don't use the stock browser so I'm not 100 percent sure but I think there may be a setting within the stock browser to enable flash. If not, the stock browser does not support Flash content.

Well I need help please!

I got the ROM installed and all went well. I set up my APN settings and sent a test text to a friend and asked for a reply. that worked. I asked them to send a picture text and that worked. I text back to say I got it and a message popped up when I hit send it said.Attention Message may be corrupted on recipient device. Change input mode to automatic. I did that and it didnt make any difference now I cant send text. It worked right away and then it just went crazy. the only thing I did was change the message center number in the text settings and I didnt write it down so I dont know if that had anything to do with it or not . please help :crying:

Totally my doing. I was in settings in the stock sms program and under message center, I changed the number. That was my bad. I googled the message center number on google and att's website gave the number all fixed. What a noob....he he
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
loserskater, if I follow all of your instructions here, do you think I can get the attached AOSP MMS to become fully functional on this ROM or is something else required to make it work on a 4.3 ROM? I really want to get this to work badly and I don't mind getting dirty if you can point me in the right direction.

Is the fade effect working for you guys? Initially, I chose the CRT effect which I like but when I tried the fade effect next, my phone still behaves like the CRT effect. Maybe I need to go back to no effect first then try fade again...

I used this S4 MMS apk that was offered as an additional download in December. Weird how this is the only TW text messaging app (not interested in 3rd party apps. I like the TW lockscreen widget too much) that will work with long text messaging.

I used ES Explorer to replace the MMS app with this.

-Browse to /system/app

-Rename existing SecMms.apk to SecMms.apk.bak (or something similar)

-Move this apk to the /system/app folder

-Adjust the permission (If you do not know what to change the permission to, look at permissions of other apk's in the same folder for reference)

NOTE: This zip is NOT flashable

Ok, Thanks. When you said this is the only TW text messaging app that will work with long text messages, what do you mean?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
I could not send long text messages (example is a long URL) using any of the TW based messaging apps from the Aroma menu. The message would just hang and not send. It also would not convert to MMS to send. Using this apk, long text messages send fine.

Another person posted that they also had this problem a few pages back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
No that won't work. Like I said, CM introduced privacy guard so you'll have to remove that from their MMS.apk, and I'm not sure if the framework files are compatible.

It's a bug with the install script, you can go to /system/build.prop and one of the last lines should be persist.sys.screen_off=crt. Change crt to fade.

Not sure why it wouldn't work in the app, but I'd trust the system menu more than the app. There's a lot of root checker apps, which one are you using?

It's been a while since I've seen a kernel with last_kmesg. Usually if you experience a reboot it's just the system that goes down but the logcat is still running so you should be able to pull it and see what happened.

Why won't an older pre-privacy guard MMS.apk work?

I'm willing to learn. What should I do to check framework compatibility and begin the privacy guard removal process. I have some coding experience with languages like VBA, C++, and FORTRAN so I know I can learn whatever language android uses.

I chose fade effect at initial install wiping everything including internal. Didn't care for it so have gone back to aroma twice in separate attempts to chose crt and hasn't changed. Must be one of those mods you just can't change after intial install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
Changing screen off effect is broken in aroma (my fault). You can open up /system/build.prop and change the setting manually.

#No effect
persist.sys.screen_off=none

#CRT effect
persist.sys.screen_off=crt

#Fade effect
persist.sys.screen_off=fade
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
For those of you that want to change your crt effect. You can flash this which will allow you to change it in real time. I added a setting to Extra settings that will take affect immediately.

Scratch that. Needs some more testing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
I did this method and worked a charm. For those that do, don't forget to reboot for changes to take effect.

Hello. Just wanted to let you know that "device encryption" is broken in this version. After you type your password and initiate the encryption process, the green android is displayed and instantly an error box pops up stating "Unfortunately. The system UI has stopped." after which the phone reboots and the encryption process is bypassed. (Not sure if the external SD card encryption works or not though.)

Thanks again for putting together the best ROM for our S3's!

Text Messages Sent out of Order

Hi, I just figured out that this version sends text messages out of order. It may actually only be sending the last text and skipping the previous parts of the text. Other versions of this ROM don't seem to have this issue... It has happened 3 times today.

Still the best ROM I have ever used.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jacqstrap:
I was running the Quantum 3.27 ROM before this and I decided to give this ROM a go. I downloaded the file on my phone and recovery rebooted my phone to get to Clockwork mod touch recovery and clean flashed from there (wipe data -> wipe cache -> wipe dalvik -> format system). After I installed SRX, the phone went to set up and could not detect any wifi or mobile data. The phone now says that there is no SIM card on the phone. The phone has now been rendered useless due to the lack of connection to wifi or mobile networking it has now. Can anyone help please? Thanks!

Make sure you understand that if you install the MJB bootloader you can no longer return to an earlier bootloader. You can still flash other roms, just don't mess with the bootloader.

Lol its cool it happens. I also have the i747 UCUEMJB (AT&T) just make a backup before you do anything. And loserskater is right about the modem and loaders. And not to throw a curve ball here but for me as example, when I rooted my phone I did the update first which gave me the UCUEMJB base band. But some people was either rooted before the "latest" update was out for at&t. But just be careful on what you do.

I'm assuming it is different because it works without any issues... I had selected the S4 MMS in Aroma originally when I started getting almost every message failing to send. However, there is also a possibility that the installer does something funky or that simply re-installing overwrote some problem. Unfortunately I didn't do a lot of forensics.

That's the beauty of Android. You can customize your device however YOU like it! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeg1s:
Yes... If you go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep you'll see the default is "Always".

Most guides tell you that is the most battery conservative option, despite it sounding intuitively the opposite.

The logic has to do with the Wi-Fi using less power than the Data connection... So with "Awlays" set, if the device goes to sleep it will maintain it's connection while in sleep mode. If it weren't to do this, it would shut down the Wi-Fi and switch to your Data connection, which actually uses more power (and even more if you have a weak connection) along with your data plan. However, if you have no Wi-Fi in the area and you're spending an extended amount of time there, it makes sense to toggle Wi-Fi off to stop it from searching and conserve battery power.

Hope that helps.

Very simple fix generally reboots are kernel related so find several s3 kernels and flash until you find one that works best for your phone.

You must use a T/W kernel do NOT flash an AOSP kernel. I've been on my S4 for quite a while but I know at least for me and I still have my s3 instigatorX was a good one and so is kinetic pulse. Go to the s3 original development thread and search for T/W kernels you should find plenty.

As I said it's been awhile since I've been on my s3 but I was just in the original development thread and there's several kernels that will work.

I'd forgotten that you guys are rolling 4.3 now but the concept of reboots being kernel related is still the same.

So my earlier suggestion still would apply being search the original development thread for appropriate kernels and flash a couple til one works best for that phone.

KT builds some great kernels for sure no doubt about that.
