Okay I need help. My dad got a new s3 and I rooted it and installed this ROM via twrp. And I set everything up correctly. But when he went to set up the phone it would say no Sim card but he could still make calls. The Google play wouldn't let him sign in. And the WiFi wouldn't turn on it'd just turn back off. TIA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
What phone model is that? If it is T999 then check the bootloader version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 13~BigBear~13:
If it is the bootloader then do I just flash the latest version? Sorry if I sound like a noon. I have a N4 I'm quite new to the s3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
Yeah just flash with twrp.

Did u try modified AOSP in aroma?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] notufatjesus:
Not just in latest version....but recent versions....when I flash the camera with slow motion (note 2 I believe) my camera will say not responding. I have to clear data for it to work again but just a small bug I found.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DC2CA:
I have the note 2 camera and don't have this issue. Just tested slow motion and it even paused my music switching between still and video. Just my experience.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a music player? I have Winamp and I love the interface but every 20-30 seconds it'll skip and it's annoying. It's super intermittent but also constant/consistent. If that makes any sense. Maybe I have too many songs or something... Idk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
I only noticed the music issue with dkp or ktoonsez. I never had the issue using stock kernels.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DC2CA:
I'm on the NC2 Kernel.. Dang :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 13~BigBear~13:
Which Bootloader should I flash?

Flash Complete NC2 bootloader and modem *Added 3-22-14* From Op

then Full Wipe

next install the new rom S3Rx 3.0_4-5-14, choose NC2 kernel when you install

Enjoy and don't forget thanks to Enewman17.

I loveeeeee this rom but my battery life really has been sucky lately and literally just dying in my pocket. Doesnt happen on kk roms so i may have to switch over until kk tw is released, sadly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bigjoe87865:
I am noticing a bug or something with this 4.3 rom using MJC tmobile. on random occasions, my phone cannot place any calls, as soon as I hit the call button, it would just end. The solution that works sometimes is toggling airplane mode and if that does not work, I have to restart the phone. it is rather annoying.

any solutions?

thanks in advance !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] G1-evolve:
I am on Cyan kitkat rom, would it be safe to just flash after I WIPE or do I have to change anything (like bootloader or anything)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried a factory reset and starting over clean? (Only restore essential data such as contacts.)

Do you know what build/bootloader you are running? As in, did you ever fully update to NC2 via Odin? I know its not always needed by everyone, but running mixed firmware has sometimes been known to have an adverse effect on battery life and overall performance. Some can run fine mixed, but it just depends on different variables from user to user in my experience. (Im not guaranteeing anything, just an option to consider)

Try updating to the NC2 modem. And if using a custom kernel, try a stock one instead.

You shouldnt have to, but if you are out of warranty, or dont care about it, you might consider updating. (At the very least id suggest using MD5 (4.1.2) for your base firmware and bootloader). You can always try it if yours is older though.

The main thing you need to know is whenever going to or from aosp/cm to touchwiz, it will hang during boot until you factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
I tried starting over before but didn't work. And I didn't update to the nc2 because I'm on tmo and was told I shouldn't update to that modem. I used ktoonz kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
Why would T-Mo users not want to update to NC2? I ask because I was about to flash this and I'm on T-Mo, and was going to go all the way to NC2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im not sure why you were told not to. But if it doesnt work you should be able to just reflash the MJC one. Its an easy first step to trying to solve your problem though.

If you havent yet updated to 4.3, you may or may not want to. You can never flash older firmware again and the bootloader has the warranty bit. I dont like not being able to go back, but it wasnt enough to keep me from updating personally.

Theres nothing else wrong with the firmware imo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
Does that mean I can never go back to a 4.1 based ROM if I flash the new firmware? Or just that the firmware itself can never be reverted?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just the firmware. You can still flash older roms and kernels from recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Just the firmware
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jck.sparrow:
Boom!!!... Another kickass update... Thanks enewman17... I flash week ago without any problems... Great customizations... so stable, smooth and fast...

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
So is there something wrong with NC2 that made you worried about moving forward, or just that you don't like not having a path back?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
The phone worked perfectly and i had great reception, it just started getting hot by the ome button and killin itself in my pocket. But i ll try when i flash back maybe
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I just dont like the restriction is all. NC2 works fine for me. But I do wish the options were there regardless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
Gotcha. I'm the same way.

So if I have a nandroid backup of my 4.1 ROM, can I restore that if the backup was created using older firmware, once I've updated to the new firmware? Also, does the new firmware prevent one from flashing an aosp ROM?

Thanks for answering all my questions by the way. I really appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You should still be able to restore the nandroid backup. But if you have any issues, factory reset and only restore the system and kernel. This is just to make sure the problems arent due to incompatible data.

You can flash any of our roms on the latest firmware. CM/AOSP/TW/4.1.1/4.1.2/etc, should all flash just fine. The only thing id say here is that the older the roms build, the more likely it may become a little buggy. It may not happen at all, its just the potential is higher the further backwards you go. Only way to know is to try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
So its confirmed sgh t999l can have he nc2 modem??? Just wanna be sure before i flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No. You can only use T999L and T999N modems. I believe your latest is NC1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Thats what i was wondering, so can i flash latest 4/5?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup, just use your modem and it should be good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
SO reflash my modem or just dont touch it? Noticed the new version has nc2 base
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Up to you. If you already have the 4.3 one no need.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xguju:
One of the best Roms I have ever used. So silky smooth and super fast on stock kernel. I can't believe how awesome all of the mods are, it makes it feel like I have a new phone.

Runnin last vesrion....when getting pics I get this....s5 theme..idk

Not getting pics on 4g or wifi.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Use better battery stats (BBS) from the store.

Were those newly sent pics? Did you restore old messages from backup from a different rom or build? Or did you dirty flash keeping your old stuff from your last rom?

All I can think to try is a factory reset (after backing up of course). Then test while completely clean. If it still happens try reflashing the rom. If it still continues, odin flash the root66 firmware and test.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] king236:
My WiFi isn't working I'm on t999l I'm using stock kernel l can any1 help, thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You probably didnt fully update your firmware to 4.3. Try the AT&T kernel. (MJ2 I think)

Or Odin flash the root66 NC1 firmware, then reflash the rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] king236:
I did the odin root66 NC1 new from March before I flashed this, i'm gonna re flash with a t999 cwm recovery instead of the cwm recovery intended 4 the t999l and see if it helps if not I'l try the MJ2 kernel. Actually in Aroma installer it says 2 use MJ2 kernel if WIFI isn't working... However hope stock kernel works 2nd time around cause I don't know how well MJ2 kernel will work with this and if it will cause any features 2 not work properly...

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Kernel should work just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
Right... the zips I uploaded would delete all the data so your Mms app doesn't FC. So it more then likely reset your text notification. In the Messaging app in the settings menu there are some options for notifications. The Mms app uses a different notification sound then the system and I think the default is silent, or something odd that isn't actually there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toobz:
Weird... My calls are silent now too. I checked all the in app settings, notification are enabled, volume is max, for ringer and notifications. I installed 1.4 clean too. Full wipe 3x.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
This is by far crazy, play a video on YouTube or download a ringtone app like Zedge and assign it as your default ringtone and call yourself from a another phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
IDK what to say, My wife and I have yet to experience any issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
I'm dying to try this. It's about the only one I have left to give a go - stock TW and the Infamous/Infamous Lite ROMs have issues with games stuttering on my phone. Fruit Ninja, Temple Run 2, anything even moderately 3D. I've tried custom kernels and crazy settings like "performance" governors. REbooting, wiping caches, killing apps, etc. etc. Nothing works. CM10.1 is INCREDIBLY smooth all the time (even with custom kernels to help with battery life - KT747 is a great kernel!) but I really really like the look of TW and I really really like S-Voice. This seems like my last chance to get everything I want out of the phone.

But Aroma keeps locking up. :p That's why I have't tried it. I'm going to keep giving it a go. I've tried TWRP 2.5.0.0, CWM 6.0.3.1, and CWM Touch 6.xxx whatever that was. I'm glad other people have problems, I hope to get through mine. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toobz:
Oh my gosh I found it. Blocking mode was on. I'm so sorry I feel stupid. There is usually a notification when it is enabled, and it must be hidden. So sorry to bother you guys with this. Thanks for your helpfulness nonetheless
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
If you haven't tried put the zip on your internal sdcard and give that awhirl.

I'll post this in the OP as well..

This is an AROMA test. it's small so you can easily try the AROMA installer without downloading and transferring a huge file to your sdcard.

Important, do not go all the way through the installer. If it boots then great, then use the exit or reboot option to exit the AROMA installer.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Knew it wasn't the rom, I'll keep this up in the old noggin just in case someone in another thread has similar brain farts :-p thanks reporting back with honesty. This is still one of the most stable toms with great options.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeerSteak:
I just had the same idea, to put it on the internal card. It was copying when my phone sent me the email that I'd been quoted. I'll update this, as if this works it might help others. And I'll also give the aroma installer you put up a try to see if it's a recovery issue. If it doesn't work I'll reflash recovery and retry the installer.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Well I launched the AROMA installer test, it worked, so I exited back to Recovery and immediately launched the ROM. Then the installer fired right up, which is awesome. Hopefully that's it. It's installing the default installation now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
Lol... in the blocking mode settings there is a toggle to hide the notification. The default is set to hidden.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I gave this ROM a shot today. I had previously just been lifting your kernel+init.d scripts. 0.8% idle drain per hour on stock kernel is acceptable. Anyhow, lots of options. Looks good, everything I used seemed to work properly.

I do have one request, however. Can you remove the Google apps from the ROM? I mean, the ones that can be acquired from the app store, like Gmail, Google Now, Google Play Services, YouTube, etc, etc.

I know that these are part of the core system, and included with the stock ROMs. But I like to use Greenify on these apps that I don't use much, like Google Now and YouTube. As it stands, I will have to delete them every time I flash. Maybe an Aroma option?

I realize I can just write a script to wipe them out when I flash (along with the rest of the bloat). Not a big deal, was just asking. Seems redundant is all.

Also, question: can you definitively tell me the purpose of UltraCfg.apk? Google hasn't been helpful, but the package name eludes to modem settings?

Hello guys I'm having a wake lock but idk what's. Causing it please help.. here is my results. How do I find out exactly what is causing it :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
wakelocks are just a part of android. Lots of apps sometimes get lumped into a generic wakelock depending on what it's doing. Your phone had been unplugged for almost 6 hours and the wake lock was active for 4 minutes. I wouldn't worry about it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
Yeah I don't know, that is a lot I agree. I would assume it's an app your using. I don't have these issues. And since everyone has a different set up it's hard to track that stuff down. I'd start with trying to narrow down apps.

You are right Doc (MJ2 kernel) is indeed working just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
So I installed this last night and its running great except for bluetooth tethering. Ive tried to use it on my gear and table and it wouldn't give me the option to use the phone as internet access thru bluetooth. Yes, my phone is paired and I do have the bluetooth tethering box checked off on the phone, but when I go to gear/tablet bluetooth settings and look for my phone there is no box/option for the phone to be use for internet access. Did I have to select a different kernel (I chose stock NC2)? I'm on the full 4.3 update. Wifi tethering is working fine on my tablet tho.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
I should probably remove the setting... although it is unlocked it does not work. I don't know why, I assume it has to do with the drivers, could be the kernel, fact is I just don't know what to do about it.

Been using this ROM for a few days now, and it's pretty much perfect except for one minor quibble. I have unchecked "vibrate" for when I get a new gmail email or hangout chat, but my phone still vibrates for every new email I get, and for every new hangout chat I get. Anyone know why?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you set it in both the device settings and app settings?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
The only setting I found in device settings is the vibration intensity. If I turn that down, then I get no vibration notices for any notifications. I typically have set up my phone so that chats and emails don't vibrate, phone calls and texts do vibrate, but I can't do that if I turn down the vibration intensity in device settings. Unless I'm missing a setting somewhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Check in the settings of hangouts, I hate the intensity of the vibration so I turn it off, it should be there
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
I turned off vibration for chats, turned it on for sms in hangouts, and turned off vibration for emails, but I was still getting vibrations for everything. I turned off vibration intensity in device settings, and I got no vibrations for anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
With the new update I'm pretty sure hangouts its linked with gmail settings, so try to turn off the hangouts vibration and try again,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
Yeah, I've turned off vibrate in gmail, hangouts, and in the stock messaging app which I'm not using, but it still vibrates on emails and hangout chats.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
The only possible thing I can think of as of right now is that you have your phone on vibrate, if so then that's one setting Google made since 4.2 if phone is in vibrate all notifications will vibrate no matter the user settings, but you could download "good vibrations" and set the vibrations to your liking, this will override the regular settings
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rattor:
That may be it...I keep my phone on vibrate during the day, so I may have to do some testing to see if it happens when it's not on vibrate. Thanks for the app recommendation to fixing my issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I highly recommend that app, it let's you set up vibrations based on the stage of the phone, let us know how it goes for you

Did you restore any previous data? Try starting clean and see if the problems still exist.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnny quest:
data? do you mean like my messages? other than that I did a clean wipe. I'll do it again. Seems like the Aroma memorized my choices. but it does ask me to pick a kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enewman17:
I have it set up to remember most of your previous choices, just not the kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bitcloud30:
ok then i choose to update. i forgot on how to update, is there a pattern on how to update? i have the modem (NC2), your new release rom and the NC2 (firmware).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes, anything you have backed up and then restored after flashing and wiping. Usually contacts and messages restore pretty well, but just make any new backups you need and factory reset. If you still have issues at least you know its not your old data.

If the problems go away, restore your backups and see if they come back. If they do you know its incompatible or corrupt user data causing the problem.

If you determine its not the data, you may want to reflash the root66 firmware, then reflash the rom after that. I know its a hassle but it is what I would do to eliminate variables and narrow down the possibilities.

Backup data

Odin flash the NC2 firmware.

Reinstall/flash recovery

Factory reset

Flash rom
