You are very welcome, thank you again. Been waiting to make a spot for it, just hadn't gotten any donations.

others: don't feel obligated to ever donate, I do this for fun, but yes it is motivation and it goes towards my next phone.

I don't hold donations against people (TBH I forget, that's why I add to the OP, so that I can give some sort of appreciation), I will add requests, do MODs for those who have donated, and haven't, it doesn't matter to me - same with beta testing, which obviously I need to do, (given the mistakes I made on the first round of v2.0 ;) ) so those who offered(thank you again), I will certainly start uploading some betas for you to try of v1.7/2.1 before releasing those in future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
that's insane.. I have limited 4g, but then again I am on wifi 90% of the time..

I wonder what the hell that is about, is this v1.6 or v2.0? they both use the same .apk

This is the same .apk from SynergyROM very weird.. is this extra data, or is your data on track do you know??

EDIT2: given the MD5 checks out v2.0 will be up VERY soon, 91% uploaded
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I got your back homie. ;):cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
hell yea bro! thanks man, always great to have testers, I can't believe the stupid mistakes I made on this first release lol.

but at the same time it worked out, as we figured out (+1 4 TeamWork!) the 2nd part to the full enabling of multi-window applications. and got some nice info I didn't know about to get the custom boot animations working (thanks STLRamsFan1k)

oh and I also for some CSC features lol (thank you jhanford)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Are the CSC features u mention the same file some edit to get the lock screen bubbles? Will renaming the file not work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipple31:
I'm on 2.0 and KT kernel. Zen/pegasusq. Struggling with very choppy graphics in games. Same settings were smooth as butter on AOSP. Otherwise running great. Any tips?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
It's actually 1.5. I'm thinking it's possibly it's the fact that I used tb to restore my data stats but then again, everything else looks to be in order. I'll keep an eye on it and will let you know if I see the usage increase like that again. Just weird that something like that of all things would want to use up 1gb and not YouTube or Netflix. :|
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Sorry, I was just thinking along the lines of how you include many of the other GS4 apps and rest assured, only if it's easy !! I mean, just think if Phone.apk from the GS4 worked perfectly on the GS3 !! :D I realize the odds of that are pretty slim, of course.

I suspect -- and I'll be looking in the right place after posting this -- that a theme might be the best idea for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Downloading new update :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
it actually *may* work, but if you try it, please make a nand before :)

it is, but I personally don't suggest it, since Trev is going through his PMs, hopefully he will see that I've reached out and possibly lend a hand or send some advice to do it correctly when he is free.

Oh and v2.0 link is HOT! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
so 1.5GB of 4g data was used by that .apk, that is jsut insane! I only get 2GB.. if that happened to me, i'd be screwed, I wonder how that is happening and if another app besides the AdvanceS would benefit ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I've only had my GS3 for ~2 weeks so I'm not very comfortable with everything about flashing just yet. If this were my Thunderbolt, I wouldn't hesitate. Pffft, worst thing I'd have to do is re-flash (never been a fan of nandroid backups -- are they still slooooooow ??).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
Nands take no time at all and WELL worth them .. I keep around 4-8 Nands at any time :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I made a nandroid backup a long time ago and it took forever. I flash new ROMs or re-flash and can re-configure / re-setup quick enough that I just quit bothering, beside the fact that I figure I could just wipe and flash from scratch ! Plus, it forces me to change things up, decide which apps I really don't need to re-install, etc, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Thank you Andy, and thank you mirror lol ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
To each his own OR.....

as a wise old guy once told me...

Whatever blows ur dress up . :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
where is this mirror? My download is going painfully slow lol

Nvm :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
IL mirror is 10 min . :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
It's downloading at over 500KB/s second for me, which with my 6Mb DSL is pretty good...

Over 1gb for a ROM though !!! Damn ! I remember HTC's Sense ROMs being 300+ mb and I thought that was big, especially after using some 90mb AOSP ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ANDROID 3G:
Yeah white status bar clock was the only thing missing. Hopefully we can get that added in a zip or future update. So far 2.0 is working like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MotorcycleMike:
Can we 'Safely' use the built in Mobile Hot Spot or should we download WiFi tether from Treve?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
Nandroid backups take like 5 minutes. Patience is a virtue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah because with a white clock option, we now will have the potential to set up a sgs4 theme. White icons, signal bars, and clock. Green battery, and 50% transparency. Sgs4 theme! Plus if Andy could add in the ability for stock like toggles, that'd really help make it look like the sgs4.

Will have the possibility for aosp theme and sgs4 theme in one ROM. That's awesome IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
What can I say Andy but this is one helluva rom with customizations up the zing zang.

Great job man. I'm a new follower! :good::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Andy, when you do the aosp theme, could you add the animations into it? Since there are a lot of animations, it'd be easier for everyone to experiment instead of having to reflash the ROM over every time. Just a suggestion that I believe would be helpful. If its even possible. Not sure how baked into the ROM they are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
what I'll do is make a .zip that is has just the Aroma stuff and not the entire ROM, this way you can re-flash this at ANY time, and you can change anything that's in Aroma in the beginning of the ROM.zip, just pick the things you already had if you want to keep them :)

this will make it easier so it has everything.

I had one for v1.4 I'll update it for v1.6/2.0

it will be about 300mb large is the only downside, but better than 1gig lol

on AOSP theme, framework-res.apk is themed, now only 16 .apks to go. Well 17 if you include the middle clock SystemUI.apk AOSP fix..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Think I just finished except maybe a couple png's for stock theme. ;):cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
luckydog

AOSP theme will not be finished tonight lol,

maybe tmw if i have time to work on it see how fast i can port it.

framework-res.apk would have been the difficult one. but that is running great.

4.2.2 Didact says is quite different. if it's making HIS head spin, I don't even want to think about it haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I still have to flash 2.0 update and see what you broke. :p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
All is great here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No doubt about that. The rom DEVs have a habit of and enjoy breaking themes. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
Think I may have found a bug with the multi-window mod. When trying to add an app to the tray, if you scroll down past the final row on the initial screen of apps available to add, you cannot add any apps that are past that particular row. I ended up having to add and remove apps to move apps upward in order to be allowed to add them to the tray. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing that. Other than that, everything is working great!

Edit: This is happening on the new 2.0 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I had this problem at first, I found that if u move them slowly it works a lot better.

I figure new Rom a new Gmail! If anyone wants it, 4.5 is pretty nice. Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
Awesome can't wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I think I get too excited for this stuff haha.

My gf says, why do you enjoy resetting your phone so much. I tell her its much moreeee than resetting my phone. She doesn't understand the amazing ROMs an mods created here lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
Will there be an option for stock gtalk colors?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I never themed the gtalk.apk :/ :confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
Stock Gtalk... flash in recovery

http://db.tt/2i6K4AWh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thanks brotha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
Ok, you are correct because after installing gapps and his gtalk for some reason the green color is cyan blue. It is also like this in my pull down bar, it must be one of the options I selected in aroma. I will play around with it. Thank you guys for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I did do some settle theming of the stock ROM from green to blue ( for instance the settings toggle on button color is now blue instead of green, maybe something I themed in framework-res.apk is not showing up the way you'd like. Can you get me a picture of what it looks like now, and what you'd like it to look like by chance and PM me those?

EDIT: Finally added some screen shots to post #3

AOSP theme images coming soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
That explains it all. That green is what I was looking for. That theme also changed the gtalk online color from green to blue. I'm slow, for some reason I thought it was an option I was selecting wrong. I see that will probably create a lot of work to add which themeing option stock green or ics blue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yea sorry about that, I tried making some green things that I thought should be blue, does it look funny, or do u just prefer green?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
To me it looks weird on gtalk. even stock jellybean 4.2.1 ui which is themed blue keeps gtalk online green.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Since it's in the framework-res.apk I'd have to track it down, and send you a new framework-res.apk to use, but I'm not sure which .png it is. If it really bugs you I can look, not a problem.

..This is what you're talking about though, right? I think it looks good , hehe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
There is no green gtalk. It comes ics blue as stock. I can make you a green talk if you like, I themed the inverted 1 for blackness. Just gonna take me a bit.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I *think* he is talking about the little blue online button as pictured above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
You are correct. I think this bothers me because I use gtalk more than I text and my eyes are accustomed to seeing green as online and available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Once I get some down time - I'll track the .png down and send you a VR Themed.zip to fix it..

EDIT: Uploading v1.1

fixing AOSP Theme, then uploading

New Middle Clock .zip fixes

no more having to replace the systemui.apk in the ROM.zip/Theme.zip

can now just flash the middle clock fix.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Got ya. That's definitely the framework-res png. Since it's a system app it will use all the framework headers and dividers within the framework. It will alter all of the rest of your system apps too like gmail and playstore etc. Just be sure your other apps won't conflict with that divider line. :thumbup:

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
This ROM has been flawless since flashed. Only issue I've run into was if my phone sounds we're on loud and I was listening to music once I get a text after the sound played it went from headphones / Bluetooth in my car to speaker on the phone. If my phones on vibrate it's two messages before it goes to speaker. weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thank you Sir, very much appreciated!

that's a very strange bug, have you had this on any other ROM by chance?

Or do you know of one that doesn't have the bug, maybe I can find out what's different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thanks bro.

I'm pretty sure I know what .png it is too, I remember themeing it blue, just need to back track haha.

I'll just replace it with the stock .png and all should be good :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
If happened on old v2.0 then this is a Samsung bug
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Thanks man, my friend qball45 suggested to me but ROM was too far uploaded :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scottyd21:
Andybones great rom again.. one thing though. I am getting the sms hour bug on 2.0.. I even did the selection in aroma. Not sure if the old patch you posted would work on 2.0... if yes do you still have it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Sounds like you got to many apps to me. The normal average number of apps actually used by an individual is 16. You actually should be thankful. We did one mod and it put all apps in side bar and would have had to pull them all back out. :p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
i'll try to make it tomorrow for you bro. my old ass eyes are shot from doing the blue and the red today. i can't tell the difference between red and orange right now. lol, but i'll hit it tomorrow, hopefully by the afternoon.:good::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'm trying to cover up all this white ****. I picked 75% trans (opacity) but it is actually 25% per hexcode. Gonna take me a while to match this out. I gotta convert. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
I've just updated to the latest BoneStockROM 2.0, and so far so good! I'm loving it! Thank you, AndyBones! Very good stuff.

FWIW, about all the talk of dirty flashing from 1.5, I had successfully flashed the early rooted stock MD3 ROM and MD3 firmware, then restored data from a nandroid backup of BoneStockROM v1.5 (aosp themed). No problems for several days other than having to clear data for Gmail on first boot...

And just now, I flashed BoneStockROM v2, then restored data from a more recent nandroid. All is well.

Why not? Vzw merely released another Android v4.1.2 ROM...Right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You are probably OK since you are flashing basically the same rom, same dev and pretty much same base. Stuff has been added but no major files actually moved. What you need to watch depending on kernel you are running is backing up from MB3 base. If run stock kernel with the MD3 firmware (TZ) you may break cameras and lose wifi on MB1 based roms. Also MD3 modem sucks. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
Makes sense. I do seem to be bucking the trends here, as it seems my reception at my home is actually improved with the MD3 modem from borderline to almost acceptable :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I had to trash MD3 modem. Couldn't get online. Changed back to MD1 was able to tether 4G. At home I'm in middle of 4G in Houston and can't tell much difference. If get in marginal area don't take long to see MD3 modem is bad. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
http://db.tt/3KalzgmZ. Here's 1st draft of aosp google music. It wouldn't compile right, being a real pain in my a$$. Blue and red were easy. Needvto push this into system/app andcfix permissions. Hopefully I'll get it better tomorrow...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
K. Thanks. I'm fixing to flash again. I'll throw it in there and see what we got. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
If there's a music2.apk just rename the one I posted music2.apk. No reason to explain it to you, for whatever reason I couldn't get to recompile after editing pngs. Weird, I had no problem with blue or red... I'll go back to it later. Works fine though. :cool:

This is in case we want to change animations, battery type and things of that nature? I'm on tw theme btw

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ANDROID 3G:
Found two bugs with 2.0. The text message time error is still happening even though I selected the fix in Aroma. Also when the phone goes from 4G to Wifi, the 4G icon remains in the status bar along with the Wifi icon. I think I'm going to try 1.6 instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Anyone have examples or descriptions for the various animation options (page 12 in Aroma) ? Same with the various battery options ?

By the way, I dirty-flashed from v1.5 to v2.0 and as soon as the phone was up and running, I got a TW Home force close.... I told myself that's asking for trouble to leave it like this, so I immediately rebooted into recovery and wiped /system, /data, and /cache and started over.

On this topic, I chose the 50% transparency options for the Notifications screen and status bar but it's either not working or it's not transparent enough ! :p To re-do these settings, is dirty flashing okay here ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gherman222:
Uninstall or freeze the Caller ID app, and the dual icons will go away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
For people with network problems with 4G connectivity etc. go into your network settings and change from global to CDMA. I then re-booted and it drastically improved my 4G connection. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
Anyone know how to increase the AOSP messaging font size for 2.0? tried a few fonts but no big improvements
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
This is an issue even with the Stock OTA. Should eventually go away ..

Also freeze or delete caller ID app as posted above
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
It appears to me that 'andy' pre-defines the setting to LTE/CDMA vs what Verizon sets it to (Global). I've wiped and re-flashed a couple of times with v1.5 and v2.0 and that's a setting on my list of changes to check and it's always already where I want it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
this is unfortunately a Samsung bug, not on my end.

as for the 1 hour off, that's very weird as I did the same fix for v1.6

I'll provide a completely stock to fix that, patch soon.

if the trans is not h=up to par, please feel free to fix them.. they are .pngs and are very hard to "define" a number on the pictuers.. unlike a hex number..

if you want to put your own (you can even make it a color or whatever u want.., just go into aroma/statusbar/trans/and then the one you want, you will see folders, 100,75,50,25, just go into that and u will find the statusbar.png, edit it to your liking :)

if I get better .pngs for 75/50/25% trans, I will gladly use those

much appreciate the compliment, but I can't take credit where not due, I haven't touched those settigns, but mine also are on the right one.. I wonder why it flashes as global for some and LTE/CDMA for others.

hope that everything is running well for all! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
And don't forget to bring ur Gimp .:D:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Yeah mine was preset to cdma. I have had no issues with anything so far.

Andy I just noticed the quick unlock option! Is that new in 2.0 or was that always there? Used to love this on my last phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
Anyone try Zeus kernel on 2.0 of this ROM? MD3 is still 4.1.2 so I am assuming it will still work. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipple31:
Curious - anyone else running KT kernel on this baby? And if so; what are your results?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Quick unlock is new for v1.6/2.0 :), one of my favorite additions as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
I feel the stock kernel is pretty smooth. Tried the latest Leankernal and I got choppiness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
It seems that toggling WiFi and data off and on a time or two will resolve that. Mine showed both as well and something I did (probably the toggle) took care of it. FWIW, my wife's S4 shows both icons as well....

Sorry, I wasn't complaining in case it sounded like that. I will re-run Aroma and try 75% this time. Transparency is one of those experiment-with settings ! :D Between the % setting and the image used, you never know what it will really look like without trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
For those of you interested in the floating multi-windows, I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42179415&postcount=740

I can confirm it works, somewhat. I found it to be buggy, but I could have done something wrong. Definitely worth a look for those interested. Maybe someone can perfect it like what was done on Synergy, but at the moment, this is what I found out of the blue. Definitely make a backup before doing anything!

Just to clarify, when receiving messages with stock sms, the hours are off by at least 3-4 hours. Does flashing the Stock SMS w/ Hours fix fix this problem? I wasn't sure what that fixed initially.

Edit: I just read above and someone mentioned that it would "fix itself". Does this self remedy apply to the non-fixed stock sms also or just the fixed stock sms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
What is quick unlock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog_12345:
Has anyone tried swiping to the right in recent calls to see if you get to the shortcut to place a call? Messaging works when swiping left but not calls. I'm just trying to see if this is a bug or the result of dirty flashing.

Quick Unlock lets u enter ur pin w/o hitting the "ok" button to unlock the phone. So as soon as the right pin is entered the phone unlocks.

I was going thru my usual de-bloat process and I came across an app in TB called VMware Ready 1.3.0 Does anyone know what this is and is it safe to remove?

VMware is for enterprise, cloud computing and virtual desktop. More than likely need for apps such as TeamViewer, ect. It also verifies to the server that device is VM compliant. :cool:
