Ok, i have loaded up splash 1 and splash 2 using er2003 edit.

i saved the bitmap and also saved the rom.

so my question is.

do i need to copy the original bitmap file into the directory where i have extracted wm2003SE folder in c:\ drive?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
I can't use any AOSP/CM ROMs because none of them are compatible with Fitbit.

I dislike most of the stock Samsung apps. Touchwiz, Messaging, Browser, even phone and contacts. Is there a ROM that includes or lets me select via Aroma all the default JB apps? I know I can probably download the apps and replace the ones in /system/app but I'd like a ROM built around it if that exists.

Failing that, where can I find the default stuff? Maybe someone has made a zip I can just flash?

I think andybones rom is the best but that is my opinion. Its got the stock feel you are asking for and removes most of the extra junk that bloats the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
Thanks, but I mean vanilla Google Nexus type Android. I'm running Bones right now and it's good, but there aren't really any options to go for the Google browser, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I could possibly make an Aroma option for this stuff..

Would that help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
I'm not gonna lie, that would be pretty awesome. I bet a lot of other people would dig it too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Personally I find Google Nexus style stock extremely bland, but to each his own. There are some AOSP type ROMs in the development section, but I might lean toward the more stable ROMs like Synergy, Hyperdrive, MORA, and a few others that have the stability and functionality of TW base, but let you configure the look and app selection to be TW, Nexus, HTC, Sony, etc.

Google browser? Any ROM can run chrome or more preferable Chrome beta. Those are the "google browsers"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
I came from a Galaxy Nexus to the GS3 several months ago. I've been trying to get used to the Samsung-style apps and just don't like them.

I can't run an AOSP rom because they're not compatible with the BT 4.0 required by the Fitbit I use, so I need the TW base. I also don't really like Chrome on Android.

I'm weird, sure. If I could have any phone right now it would be a GS4 or HTC One with stock Android. I really, really miss having a Nexus device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
OK, everyone likes different looks, I got that.. I'm still not understanding why you are not happy with a full functional ROM that looks like and runs mostly nexus style apps and yet offers other features and custom items if you want or not if you don't.

Seems like the best of both worlds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
... Do you know of such a ROM? That's what this thread is asking for. I'm looking for a ROM that includes, or includes options to install, the Nexus-style apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
Is there a simple way to just replace the browser with the stock Android browser? What about the stock Android launcher?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
Whats so different about googles stock launcher vs Samsung's that makes you want to change it so badly? I use googles all the time on my other devices but don't really notice a big difference except for the lack of user agent options in Samsung's browser. Anyways, you could download a launcher with customizable, icons like adw then go to the market and download quick ics browser. Problem solved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Or you can just download google chrome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
Thanks for the replies guys, but none of that really addresses my question. Is it possible to replace the Samsung browser with the stock JB browser? If so, how? I don't like Chrome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewk7750:
Google search :thumbup:

Edit: or bing, yahoo, whateves
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Check out Hyperdrive. 99% sure there are selections in aroma that allow you to add all the aosp apps. Browser, gallery, camera, mms, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
As far as a "stock JB launcher" you can achieve that with Nova launcher.

The stock JB browser is officially Chrome. You may be thinking of the stock browser in ICS which was a blue globe icon. If you want that, download the latest CM 10.1 and extract the browser out of that zip file and install it on your own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milesmarrero:
Ok, so due to new IMEI policy by t-mobile, this galaxy s4 I bought on craigslist brand new worked perfectly for 2 weeks and then the guy reported it stolen and got a new one (insurance fraud.) I'm having the man prosecuted, but that is largely for revenge purposes. Me getting my money back is slim chance. What should I do with the phone to make the most money to buy a new one? Can I sim unlock it and sell it for use on other carriers? Or are imei blocked on all? Can I break it down and sell parts? Do people buy those? haha. I'm just looking to make the best of a ****ty situation, help appreciated :) Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dan37tz:
I think best is try to get it unlocked and sell it overseas.

Once AT&T and T-Mobile merge their blacklist it probably won't work on any US GSM carrier.

There is really no protection now for the second hand buyer when it comes to GSM phones. The original owner will most likely file a claim for the phone as being lost/stolen so they can profit and the buyer will always get boned in the end.

I say if you do buy a used phone, at least buy it on eBay. That way there is at least some accountability and the original owner would think twice before reporting the phone stolen/lost.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milesmarrero:
Think it will actually get purchased?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
He is saying the future you should buy a used phone on eBay since you will get eBay and PayPal buyer protections.

If you are selling a phone with a bad IMEI you really should have a ton of documentation to support how you obtained the device. That means all the paperwork from the court about the prosecution you are involved in.

And this isn't a new policy by T Mobile. This is a long standing policy to black list phones with IMEI's that are reported stolen.

You also need to be careful when talking about how to sell and profit from a phone with a bad IMEI on XDA. It's a touchy subject here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Agent3:
I purchased the S3 last year on eBay. The seller waited until after the 60 days were up (to be able to dispute on paypal) to report the phone stolen/lost. eBay was also of no help. So becareful!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sucsss:
That's why you use a credit card with a long dispute time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dan37tz:
But at least you have the record of the sale right? Couldn't you have gone to the T-Mobile store or called up CS and tell them you have proof that that you purchased the phone on eBay? Wouldn't T-Mobile help unblock it in your situation since you have proof with the seller information? You could have gone a few steps further and maybe get the police involved since you have nothing to worry about, you have proof of the transaction.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hkbladelawhk:
People like the ones you guys describe deserve to have both kneecaps broken.

Kind of makes me wonder about mine....I bought mine on CL. It was NIB. The dude bought it from Best Buy and brought it out to me. I took it home, popped my SIM in and Voila...Wonder if it would even be possible on mine since I don't think it was ever turned on on his.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milesmarrero:
Yeah I got **** on. There are terrible people out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saldebot:
For people buying phones on Craigslist either for T mobile or AT&T ask the seller to meet you at a store and advise a sales person to notate their account that they are selling the phone. If seller is legit they will gladly go to the store with you.

That's what I did when I sold my S3 and Nexus 4. The sales person notated my account in front of buyer so that I can not report it for insurance fraud...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hkbladelawhk:
Wish I thought of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] touchpro247:
OP: What did you end up doing with the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qbanlinxx:
That's what I did when I traded my Note 2 for the S4. Haven't had any issues to date.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shinydude100:
I use to program my epic all the time, you could change the imei to a good one, however you'd need a donor phone and all of this is theorhetical.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Nothing about how to change imei's, regardless of you might use that ability for honest purposes, should ever be discussed on XDA at any time for any reason.

Any discussion about changing imei's is a big no-no on XDA. Its also illegal in most places in the world to mess with an imei, much like messing with the vin number on a car, no matter if you have a legitimate need to fix an old broken phone or not.

9 out of 10 people who will want to change an imei will want to do so for less than legal reasons. (Bought stolen phone. Stole phone. Want to sell a stolen phone, etc) XDA will not be a party to the distribution of that information as a result. So please do not discuss it here.

Thank you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shinydude100:
Thanks for understanding, disclaiming, and not attacking. I do indeed do it at my own risk/discretion, however I know what I'm doing. Either way, sorry op, that's literally the best I can do, and still be a good xda user, seek and ye shall find.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
they are not merging. Prolly never will either. Fcc shut that down awhile ago. It's metro PCs who just recently merged with T-Mobile.

But I do believe att and T-Mobile share a blacklist. Think this exact situation happened to a person on the s3 forums. Said they couldn't use it on att either.

But OP. Should be able to unlock and sell over seas. Try eBay. If no buyers then part it out. Screen and digitizer as one is a good 200 if not more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] boredndsm3:
Just change out the IMEI

Just change out the IMEI number so it is not blacklisted. It is not illegal in the United States, and if any moron tells you it is ask him for the link to the law. You will not find one. I got mine fixed on ebay from a company called kingpin unlockers. It cost me 60 dollars and they did it remotely in less than 30 minutes. Remotely, yes i did not have to send my phone in anywhere. Just go to ebay and copy and paste the following text in the search box:

Bad IMEI ESN repair service Samsung T-MOBILE Galaxy S4 S 4 IV M919 Blacklisted

They do both att and tmobile and also do note 2 and s3 imei changes remotely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelendel:
Just take a look at the imei cloning laws before you talk about things you have no idea about. The only people that can legally change the IMEI is the OEM.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milehighh:
Yep. Not a new policy at all, I can tell you from experience if you buy a used phone from a non T-Mobile dealer, and it gets blocked a week later. there is literally no way for it to be unblocked, not by CS, or anyone. No matter how much proof of purchase you have, the only purchase that matters is the original one from a T-Mobile store. best option was posted earlier to have that person meet u at a store and have a rep notate the account to never exchange or do a claim on the phone being sold.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Saintfyre:
Just wait until this passes Mobile Device Theft Deterrence Act of 2013

Then when people come along crying that Wahh it's not illegal to change IMEI's in the US and they continue to do so all willy nilly, they can hopefully be added to a short list for:

Any person who violates subsection (b) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

And also from what I understand when you're changing the IMEI, you can't just create a new IMEI from scratch, you have to use an existing one. So how does it make sense that it's okay for you to change your broken IMEI to someones valid working one that they paid for. Just because I'm not driving my car doesn't mean it's okay for you to take it to the 7-11 for smokes because I'm not currently using it... :eek: You may have gotten a great deal and all on Craigslist/fleaBay/friend-of-a-friend but instead of potentially screwing some innocent person who has their own good IMEI, just save up and look for that next bargain or go after the seller.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
1, you are wrong.

2, even if you weren't wrong about the laws it is still against the xda rules to talk about changing imei's here or to give people help in finding out how to change imei's. You are in violation of xda rules with your post.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSGM:
I was looking at fake call apps for my GS4 to get me out of awkward situations.

But a lot of the good ones are missing one critical feature...being able to use it AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!

A lot of them just have a timer (15 secs, 30 secs etc) but its a bit obvious to pull out a phone, set the schedule and BOOM 15 secs later i get a 'phone call'.

I want to be able to casually reach into my pocket, hold down the volume rockers for a few seconds and activate my pre-configured 'call'.

Then i found a couple of phones that had an excellent implementation of this: the Samsung S5511T & Samsung Intensity III.

Short story long, anyone know of an app (free or paid) that has this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lou1337:
I don't know any app to do that but I think you can achieve this by using an app like Tasker to do that. Tasker is an app which allows you to perform something in a specifical context.

Configure Tasker in order to open the app which simulate a call when : screen is turned off and long press volume down button.

Hope it will help you :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSGM:
Thanks for the suggestion i installed tasker and have Fake Call & SMS installed

I can get the app to open using the headphone jack (best hardware option i could find) but what commands would i need in the IF statement section to make a call?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lou1337:
For the context I think it is possible to find a more apropriate context, ask google about tasker :) (Or maybe an app similar to tasker exist and has this feature)

For the fake call I think there are two options :

- you can try to create a task (in tasker) which unlock your phone and launch the app. Next, maybe tasker can emulate a press on the touchscreen. But I'm sure Tasker can emulate the press of a button, so see in your app if the press of a button can launch the fake call.

-or (I think it's an easier way) you can create a task which will : make your phone ring and vibrate and open a screenshot of a lockscreen wiwh an incoming call). Then, you only have to configure your task to stop the ringtone when you touch the screen or press a button.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlame64:
1)Root your android device (most important!)

2)Get Pressy

3)Get Tasker

4)Create a Tasker profile to simulate a fake call

5)Create a Pressy button action to activate the fake call Tasker profile

6)Enjoy! :good:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
You'll love it. Things to look out for I guess are the fantastic battery life. The joy at Reading, watching and playing on the big screen. And the overall speed and fluidity of the device.

Downsides I guess would be jealous comments regarding its size. If you use lots of apps the ever decreasing internal storage. For this simply root and check out directory bind.

Also I'd say if you use headphones would be the low volume but again for this root and then you can increase the Volume.

Dude same is happening with me. Battery is draining very fast. It was quite gud with stock v0.16 then v0.20 slight fast drain now v 4.2 faster than others. Even i m getting problem of invalid IMEI & wi fi NVRAM error after each flash. plz help:eek:
[Micromax A116] shivas504:

Hii

I m facing the same issue. After Upgrade to 4.2.1

Battery started giving dokha. Once reach 30% it drops to 10.

I m looking for the solution too.

May be battery calibration will be a solution but for that it asks for root access

Which I don't want what to do.?

Hey...this issue is there with 4.2.1 stock rom...not everyone must have noticed it though...but it does not effect the usability of the phone...though i agree its irritating...try to flash a custom rom & see if this issue exists for u...for me that worked...whatever works for u...battery calibration didnt help though :(
[Micromax A116] richie.slayer:
Possible fix for battery drain(30%-10%) rooted device.

Hey guys i used to have the same issue before, calibrating didnt work at first, flashing custom roms didnt do the trick either so in the end i finally snapped n tried calibrating the battery the other way round. I calibrated my battery when it reached a sufficiently low charge(did mine at 7%). I used rom toolbox(device must be rooted) which can be found in the play store, ull find the option in rom management > wipe options(DO NOT tick any other options other than wipe battery stats). Other battery calibration apps might work but it didnt for me. after wiping battery stats it will ask u to reboot. Reboot the device and let it charge to 100%. Then check if the drain is gone:):good:!

hope this helps you guys!

Use at own risk. I will not be held responsible.
[Micromax A116] rohit92:
even im facing the same problem.Also after 87% of charging it jumps directly to 100% in 2 minutes.I have replaced the battery but still same issue.Service center repairers said that its motherboard problem but i dont think so.If I charge only till 85%, I dont face drain problem after 30% till 10%.but if i charge it till 100% den my battery drains in 2 minutes from 30% to12%

I was having hell lot of Problem with Battery backup (using SamHD V3.2), tried using Calibration but didnt work.

Then I after searching/surfing the Internet, used a custom Method as mention below :

1. Charge your Phone to 100%

2. Download "ROM TOOLBOX Lite" from Play Store.

3. Go to ROM Management -- Wipe Option -- Click Wipe Battery Stats (DO NOT tick any other options other than wipe battery stats)

4. It will ask for Reboot, do it.

5. Then charge the phone to 100%

6. Calibrate the phone using Battery Calibration & then start using the phone.

Phew!!! it works now, I was mad behind this problem and now my life is kool...

Note : If this doesn't work then instead of point no. 1, please do the Point No. 2 at 5% or 10% battery status
