Any place where I can download stock kernel which comes with 3.0? I want to try ktoonsz kernel, but want to keep the option open to come back without flashing ROM again to get the kernel back.

Is it just me or is the default Samsung gallery unusable with these new 4.3 touchwiz ROMS. It is just really really slow and buggy, I cant even scroll through pictures without accidentally selecting one or bringing up the check box's any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] psenseny:
I have no issues. I would suggest clearing cache/data on Gallery and Media Storage and then using an app like FX Explorer to re-index your media files so they show up in Gallery. Process should take no longer then 3 minutes.

EDIT - I noticed your signature that you are/were on an ASOP Rom - I hope you didn't dirty flash this ROM from an ASOP ROM - this would cause many issues. If so, perform a clean flash and that should help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
I noticed the same thing. It works fine but is a bit laggy. Switched to QuickPic and it was a night/day difference.

What are most people using for SMS on this ROM?

I love the Hangouts SMS (Textra and some other 3rd party SMS apps are also good) but I cannot give up the S4 SMS notification on the lockscreen and the screen wake.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imonandroid:
I hate the new lock screen sms notification thing! I have to swipe then tap, I liked the old way where I could just swipe straight to the message.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melvinaury:
I use go sms and hangouts
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_z11:
GoSMS is by far the best. Been using it for a long time, and has never let me down. Just my opinion.

You need to run AOSP based ROM for features like that I think. This has been incredible stock 4.3. Wife is loving it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s0ulja:
Yea I was on AOSP roms for a long time but I couldnt upload video to instagram so I decided to give touchwiz a shot. I did do a full wipe 3 times and cleared cache/dalvik before flashing, so far 4.3 is good with sime minor drain issues but the main problem im having is the gallery thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
If you haven't already try the app called quick pic I believe that's what it's called if you want a another gallery. Or download another touch wiz rom and take out the gallery. Apk and load it with yours. But as always make a backup up. I did that once with the camera apk. Because it was not saving to my extsd card.

Side note is anyone having lag. When I click to open YouTube it takes a a few seconds to open. Now I did flash a different kernel dkp kernel.

Chompsms offers both of these, isn't bloated down like gosms and handcent, and the developer support is the best you could ask for. They listen and respond to any problems within minutes of reporting. Outstanding app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_z11:
I wonder if Chomsms has password protected inbox that you can move private conversation/sms from prying eyes..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Not password protected, but pattern. You can choose to lock all of chomp, or individual contacts separately.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
I use the S4 SMS with pattern lock on the phone. I like seeing the screen turn on from the corner of my eye at work then just touch the lockscreen notification and swipe my PW. Goes directly to the message. I'm looking for something similar using the Hangouts app....

ViPER4Android on 3.0?

Has anyone been able to get the ViPER4Android audio affects app to work on S3Rx 3.0?

If interested HERE is the link to the thread.

Tried to "Force Enable" and "FX Compatible Mode" but no luck. Obviously, others have issues with different ROMs or there wouldn't be two setting attempting to fix the problem.

By no means, is this a critical issue for me. Just a "nice to have."

Thanks

Great. I had trouble with it crashing the phone when I first flashed 3.0 so I did a full wipe and didn't try again until today. No crashes today just didn't have any affect. I'll wait for the update and do another full wipe then install it first and see if some other app is causing it the problem.

Thanks for testing it out.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gcamp0730:
I've got 2 issues that might be related. In the camera, if I switch video mode to 720x480 I get an FC immediately. You don't even have to start video only make the setting change. I have to clear app settings before the camera will launch again. I tried all other video modes and they seemed to work fine.

Secondly, I tried to answer a hangouts video call and hangouts FC'd. Not sure what video mode hangouts tries to use but I suspect it might be 720x480 based on my camera experience.

No other issues with the rom. It's been great!

[MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION], before I upgrade to any new builds from the 12/8 build, I need help fixing my internal space. When I went from 4.1.2 to 4.3, as you know it created a separate /emulated folder. However, I still have my original sdcard contents, plus it actually created a third folder with duplicates. So I now have triplicate internal storage folders leaving me with only 1 gb of space. Im going to back up to my computer, then do a factory reset, but what I need to know is what path do I backup? My paths are /sdcard, /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Issues with AROMA Version

Had some issues with the AROMA version. Got everything running now. Here's the order of events. I'm sure some of this isn't relevant but I figure that's for you devs to decide. :o

Was on 12/18 version

Updated with 1/23 Aroma version located on internal memory and everything fine

Decided to due a clean install for a variety of reason so wipe everything including internal sdcard

Tried to install using 1/23 Aroma from external, doing full install (obviously can't just do upgrade) and it would hang on reboot on Galaxy S3 screen

I was very suspicious because the "install" took less that 15 sec which isn't normal, obviously

When I'd reboot into recovery (from recovery) it would ask if I wanted to install su because I wasn't rooted. Did this repeatedly

Tried 1/23 AROMA version install again, same thing.

Used TWRP's file manager to look at internal sdcard and there was only an empty TWRP folder

Tried to install 12/18 from external sdcard and same thing, hang on Galaxy SIII screen, although the install took longer

Reformatted everything again including internal sdcard again <- I think this is where things started to get better

I think after this the install of su stuck and I didn't get the option if i rebooted into recovery

Tried to install 1/23 AROMA version again from external memory, same thing

Successfully installed 12/18 version from external memory

Tried to install 1/23 AROMA version from external memory doing full install install, not upgrade. This time it wouldn't hang but kick back into recovery.

Successfully installed 12/18 version from external memory, again

Moved a copy of 1/23 AROMA onto internal sdcard and selected upgrade instead of install and SUCCESS. <-first time on internal but also first time just an upgrade after successfully installing 12/1

So my 2 cents is that it appears people in general are successful when upgrading without doing a full wipe. I think I compounded the problem with my wiping of internal sdcard. While I think I captured everything I did I might have missed something thus while there is a correlation between my reformatting and my success, I'd hesitate to definitively say there is a causation.

Hope this helps. Thanks for the great ROMs.

DDNV

P.S. Since I just did this my phone is basically fresh and new and empy, I'm open to some testing if you'd like.

I can install the default rom through aroma without issue. I can even use a different kernel (at least ktoons'). But if I choose any mods, I go into a bootloop. I don't know much about logcats, but it looks like I get the same message everytime. I've attached a logcat of the last attempt.

I bootlooped regardless of wipe setting as well.

Still no issues. Loving the dandroid theme with the aosp lockscreen. Glad to see you guys got that working. Also the ktoonsez kernel shipping with this is 1-15 and he updated it on the 18th, the dkp kernel hasn't been updated yet. Thats all that I've really noticed so far.

Although I'm still on S3Rx 2.2, I may try installing 3.0 without formatting.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Do you recommend formatting it? If so, should I expect to see those sdcard/0 folders?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
I do recommend formatting it. You'll see the 0 folder after flashing the rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Ok, thank you. Then to "fix" the 0 folder, I do what?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
There's nothing to fix the 0 or emulated, legacy folder is suppose to be there. If you format and flash you won't even notice it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Then what should the path to the internal memory be or will it remain the same? No files should be duplicated, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
yes i formatted coming from android 4.1.2 to 4.3 but going between 4.3 roms i haven't. Think I'm going to need to though and see if thats why I've been getting some phone force closes on boot. The app works fine though so I don't think the themes breaking it. Also lost my apn, just going to search for that though but not sure if thats related.

Tried just flashing the rom without the mods and extra aroma goodies and no force close or apn loss. So its got to be one of my choices from aroma. So for anyone having issues with this should try just flashing the rom first and letting that settle then upgrading the mods in after. Worked this way for me and no longer having any of those problems.

Dropping off a few screenshots so people have a tease of the different themes they can choose from. The first 5 are of the S4 White theme and showing the light note 3 keyboard. I should of fixed the clock color, apologies but you get the basic idea. The toggles aren't themed yet but its looking nice.

Next is the stock with blue which is my 2nd favorite to Dandroid theme. Thats screenshots 6-8. Wish I got one of the dialer too.

Then 9-12 are just the stock theme. And after that is Dandroid goodness. I detest that accuweather widget so since this is the theme I'm sticking with it got replaced with Crius (Can be found on Play Store. Its cLock).

Only other thing I ran into was AOSP Broswer force closing on load. Remembering seeing winga45's post about how to install it for TW4.3 roms I just went in Titanium Backup and cleared the cache and wiped data.

Missed the screenshot of the dark note 3 keyboard on the stock blue theme so its at the end.

I've been a CM user forever but decided recently I've had enough and returned to stock ROM because everything just works.

The one thing I miss the most about CM is the Quiet Hours. They are simple to set and still allow calls to come through. I know stock has a block mode but it's clunky and not ideal for me.

Would it be possible to port the CM quiet hours to a TW ROM or does anyone know of another way to mimic quiet hours? Yes I know tasker will do the job but I am trying to avoid using that for now.

Thanks and cheers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
As an example: On a french keyboard, the default alt symbols for E is É. When you force that CSC feature, the new default for E is =, which doesn't make any sense. With the correct language strings, will it show É as an alt symbol for E on a french QWERTY keyboard?

Thanks for getting me to look at it again. You are right it's not bad. Seems to me back in the day it wasn't as detailed and not as customizable as the CM version. Seems to be better than what I remember. I thought at one point in time you had to turn it off and on manually. Didn't think you were able to set a time for it to run. That might have been back in the ICS days.
