I kind of like the Lil icon cuz It makes it look more stock but I'm good either way. As long as there is a way of telling what the battery is , it's all good metalfan.

I can't decide. I think having both is too redundant. I wish I could get this mod to work. Rompnit is helping me a little, but he is pretty busy at the moment. Hopefully I can get it working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
You'll get it working I know it. Take your time. I know I'll be ready to load it up. On wicked v5 now seeing how it is but I'll be back when the update rolls out.

I posted a changelog for 3.7.1 in post #2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Link posted in OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
There is a small glitch I just noticed, when opening the browser for the first time it says Google.com is unavailable. I forgot to change that so it would work as default homepage. I will try to make a zip later to fix it. The browser works fine its just the initial default page that is messed up, sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noimjosh:
The link in OP is to the build.prop file, I think you were going for this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407574532
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Hahaha hahaha! Thanks! Fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
Think I may be coming back to this rom. Been running kitkat and some 4.3 and thinking its time to switch it up. Still have v3.6 on my phone. Will be loading this up later.

Rom at the moment : Liquid Smooth 4.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Right on. It runs pretty good. I've been working on a 4.3 Rom lately and haven't done much with this one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
Yea this ROM runs flawless. Nothing wrong with it at all. 4.3 and kit kat just have the newer bells and whistles but this ROM is nice all around. I use v3.6 just because it has the battery icon with the percentage lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Maybe I'll add the icon back in for 3.7.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
Or maybe an option to enable it or not. I personally like the icon. Looks more stock to me. But metalfan do your thang. I'm running with it regardless. Feels good to be back!

I'm uploading 3.7.2. I fixed the default homepage, and I put the battery icon back in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
3.7.2 is up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
Any chance of a 4.3 or 4.4 (when it drops) versions of this ROM? Not asking for ETA.

I love it because it doesn't remove everything and mess stuff up like other ROMs or add so much something breaks its just right and themed perfectly I love it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That's kinda what my BareBones rom is turning into. It's pretty debloated though.

I can make flashable zips of things you like to have back, or maybe make a bloated version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
Thanks for the quick response I just realized barebones was made by you :o if it isn't to much to ask as I know your probably busy but if you can make a bloated version? If not its perfectly fine I just kinda like playing around with the stock apps ect. The gimmicks keep me entertained lol.

Sent From My Smoking Hot Galaxy SIII
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Yea, I can put one together, no problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I haven't really themed it like metalrom though, I was probably going to work on it a little this weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
I'll just use wanam xposed on it. Thanks again though :cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
Yo bro great ROM but I want to use the information ticker on the lockscreen to show my Facebook status (Why did they remove this in 4.3?) But you seem to have removed something that makes the information ticker uses less it never loads or gives a fc.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'll look through everything later, I am not sure which apk it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
I'm guessing it has something to do with a yahoo runtime because if I'm not mistaken the ticker uses yahoo for everything.

Sent From My Samsung Galaxy SIII on Metal ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's the SNS.apk and for the Yahoo News, the NewsDaemon.apk must be installed. And I might as well say that the AccuWeatherDaemon.apk allows the lockscreen weather.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It uses Yahoo for stocks and news, Facebook for Facebook, and AccuWeather for weather
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bradley129:
I have the latest version of Facebook installed and logged in so I still wondering why it doesn't work.

Try pushing this to system/app, then fix permissions, and reboot

Didn't even have to install as system app lol. Just installed as a regular apk turned on the ticker and BOOM started working thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
No problem, I knew that apk was for social apps but I never knew what it did, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Now you know;) I worked on 4.1.2 for almost the last year because we never got the 4.2 update on the S2, so I'm really aquainted with it. Still learning on 4.3 though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
On m.o.a.r 9.0.1 now but thinking of coming back to this or m.o.a.r 6.1 ... 4.3 has been giving me low battery life,signal and stability compared to 4.1.2. So I'm sticking with what I know works flawlessly...

Yea, wanted to go with something different this time around. Lots of little differences, it's a really nice phone though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
If you're taking requests, I'd love the hold volume up to skip track while screen is off. Best mod ever.

Love the ROM, thanks!

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S3™
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'll look into adding some of your requests. I'd like to do some more build.prop tweaks as well. I'm glad you are all liking the rom. It's been fun learning and I've been getting a lot of help from great people here. I'm also working on the battery icon. It will be similar to stock but gray instead of green.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Have you guys noticed any difference in signal, data, Wifi? I seem to have a worse signal than normal, but maybe it's tower related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Do you have a link for the volume rocker mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I found the volume rocker mod, that's quite a hefty modification. It might take me awhile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] byransays:
I had fine signal, and this rom is amazing. The only issue I had was I could not get DLNA/Allshare working with XBMC so I went back to my backup for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Thanks, that might be because I removed some of the allshare apps. I can add them back in for the next version though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Running this now and have zero complaints. Just one suggestion, can you build in the "screen on when text is received" option? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
I sent a pic to my gf (a.k.a my mom) and when I tried to view the pics, it says that gallery force closes

Edit : or opening gallery at all force closes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Schnadam:
I am a metal fan myself... I'm wondering when the metal theming will come into play ... If at all. Iron maiden.. Slayer... King diamond? Dying fetus.. Napalm death? Megadeth? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
My gallery works fine. Did you do a clean flash of v2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm not sure if I'll ever theme this rom. MetalROM is the only thing that came to mind when I was trying to think of a name. I was thinking about adding some metal wallpapers and maybe getting into making icons or adding some metal ringtones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Please don't theme it. Lol. This is one of the only stock nonthemed Roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm not a big fan of themed roms, I never have been. It will stay stock, except for the battery icon. I think I might change that to one that is gray like everything else in the status bar, but that will be all I do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vat829:
Can you dirty flash v2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I don't know, I never dirty flash anything. You can try it I suppose.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
I love clean stock Roms :) currently on cleanrom 2.3 but will switch to this one soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
hmmm...theming this rom interests users? :confused:

I might could do some...;)

what are the interests?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Hey Naddict, welcome aboard, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alohaitsdonovan:
How's battery on this ROM ? Trying to look for a good stock ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Mine has been pretty good, a little better than stock because of the Samsung bloat taken out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Schnadam:
Well of course... I've never been a big fan of stock touch wiz... Expesially that dreaded SMS theme.. Probably the ugliest SMS of all phones.

Interests? Why heavy metal of course... That misled me coming to this ROM in the first place... No offense metalfan. :):beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
No offense taken, I just wanted a cool name, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
Please, do not theme this, PLEASE. sorry to be a dream killer but i love this rom and the stock look...

And could someone please give me suggestions for gallery fc? All i did was uninstall magazines, and some of the google bloat. Other than that that, everything is as it came. Im running ktoonz with rerick setup from kernelizers thread. I did a completely clean install, wiped everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Is anyone else getting a fc with anything? Maybe the kernel you're using isn't playing nice. And don't worry, I'm not theming this. If Naddict wants to theme it I will have unthemed and themed versions for everyone to choose from. If you'd like to make a logcat we might be able to figure out why the gallery is fc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Testing v2.2 out today. I should be posting it later today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
How do i get a logcat? Can i do it through the phone or do i have to use adb?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I think you can do both. I've never really done it before (I know, some rom dev, right?). I've used apps for it a long time ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Catlog is a good app in the play store for logcats.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrWhite1127:
Waiting for 2.2 before I flash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I haven't had a chance to run it yet, hopefully tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Any ideas why I don't have the calendar widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I never used it so I removed it. 2.2 is ready for download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alohaitsdonovan:
K I was running v2 but for some reason my phone kept overheating
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I haven't had a heat issue yet, anyone else get any overheating?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alohaitsdonovan:
K I updated to 2.2 and it seemed to calm down
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Can you either put it in or give me the removed apps please? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
If you can wait til the morning I can put it up for you. If more people use it I'll put it back in for the next version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Thank you so much. About to download 2.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
No problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
Just want to say thank you,the update fixed my gallery issue..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Nice!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Here's the calender widget. Use root explorer and put it in system/app, go into recovery and fix permissions and reboot. Let me know if it works. I'll add it to the rom for the next update.

http://db.tt/T4BWzfRl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Worked perfect! Thanks so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zemeldog:
Calendar widget

Worked for me, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
No worries, it will be included in the next update since a lot of people seem to use it. Anything else you guys want put in or taken out? I'm open to suggestions. It might be awhile before the next update because the mods I want to put in are pretty difficult (for me anyway).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
Skip track while screen is off and custom toggles without flashing morphology maybe :p even just adding the extended reboot menu...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Those are on the list:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I changed the battery icon (thanks for your help Naddict), I would like to put it in the next update if you guys like it. Here's a screenshot and the flashable zip if you guys want to try it. Make a nandroid and wipe dalvik and cache before flashing. I think it looks good.

http://db.tt/yTXbzokF
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Tried to flash the zip and it failed immediately and said error in updater binary.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Let me see why, give me some time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm not sure why the zip won't flash correctly now. Here is the systemui.apk that you can push. I just copied and pasted to system/app. I had some fc's until I rebooted but it works fine on my phone.

http://db.tt/qX9M6Kyq
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrWhite1127:
Hey there Ive flashed 2.2 and so far its a smooth running rom. However Ive noticed that the rom uses tons of ram. After 5 mins after booting my ram sits at about 910 mbs usage. Which causes text lag. It does that even when I do a clean flash and Dont install any extra apps. Any advice? I really like this rom and dont want to flash anything else.

P.S. Thank you for all the work. Its hard to find a TW rom that Doesnt look like a bunch of toddlers on speed took a bunch of crayons to it. Im not a fan of the horrendous themed TW roms. Keep it up man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I know google apps and allshare take up quite a bit. Mine hovers around 875 but I don't experience any lag. I'll try to optimize it a little bit for the next update. Thanks for the support!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ezintn:
Would love to see a dark black & white theme for this, maybe some Sabbath influenced icons, inverted just about everything so that back grounds are black throughout. Would love to see that for any rom, not only does it look badass imho, it's easier for an old man to read white text on a black background, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Thanks to Naddict here is a flashable zip of the systemui.apk with battery mod. It's in the new update which isn't quite ready yet, so if you don't want to wait you can flash this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Hey guys, I trying to figure out if one of my build.prop tweaks is having a negative effect on wifi speeds. Is anyone else getting low download speeds, but fast upload speeds? Check this shot out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Must've been a glitch, I toggled wifi off and on and got this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm uploading a small update today, v2.3. My connection is running slow so I'm not sure when it will be ready for download. I'm running it now and I freed up a little more ram, it varies between 700 and 800 mb on my phone and that's after I installed apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Works perfect. Thanks man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
You're welcome, and 2.3 is up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vat829:
I'm getting really bad battery life is it because I dirty flash v2.2. I'm gonna try to do a clean flash of 2.3 and will report back how the battery life is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm going to redo some build.prop tweaks and repost 2.3. I'm not happy with it. Bear with me. I'm not entirely convinced that build.prop tweaks actually make a difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Alright, new link is up. Hopefully it runs a little better. I would love input from anyone using the newest version. Thanks all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Downloading now... Will report back when its done! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
Running super smooth right now. RAM issues seem to be fixed. Did you get a chance to add in the screen on with text tweak?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Thanks! Not yet, been really busy this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Are you talking about the 'no screen on for sms' mod?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Hey _Epic, I have the mod for you. It's working on my phone. It will be in the next release but you can download this, and copy it to system/app and reboot. Make sure you thank Freeza, it's his mod.

http://db.tt/Fu1tPQLz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
I actually downloaded that earlier and got it working. Thanks man! One last suggestion, 4-1 reboot menu. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'll work on that on too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elosogrande7076:
Great Rom so far, thanks for the work! I am on 2.2 and will download 2.3 tonight. As some have said, Iwould love the 4-1 reboot baked in and possibly the increase sound mod also. Again, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Here is the "naddict sound mod"...this one is about 50% louder than stock, and not as loud as the original, as some complained of distortion.

http://db.tt/mV50PokL

Flash in recovery..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Wow, thanks Naddict! Can I bake this into my rom? You know the battery icon mod you did for me? I noticed that the stock video player has its own icon, I'm going to change that too. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Sure you can. ...:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
You're the man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Currently working on some big mods for the next version. AM/PM & clock toggles, 4-in-1 reboot menu, no increasing ringtone. I'm not sure when it will be ready.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
This Rom rocks! Honestly I've dabbled with MANY custom roms with lots of mods including aosp/aokp/cm10 etc but they just prove to be unstable after a week or so of heavy use. I was able to find a sick theme that was not morphology and naddicts volume hack and I'm in love! Great battery life too on stock kernel. Can't wait to see what u have in store for us next release! Great job man#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. I'm having fun learning all of this stuff. My laptop is kinda crappin out on me unfortunately so the next update might be awhile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
Does the ROM come with the blue theme?

Edit: NVM just read through all 13 pages

OP if your still taking suggestions.. maybe theme the toggles to match your battery. Meaning when toggles are off maybe Dark Grey and when on Light Gray like your battery.

Another onr would be center clock.

Also tethering and Volume Up to skip tracks.

If you can, if not all good. Nice rom BTW
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
I'll upload a 4-1 reboot mod that also makes ur menu button long press to kill that I found when I get on my laptop layer today... confirmed working by me...

*EDIT*

I also threw in the old screen edge slide to zoom for anyone who misses that feature... these are MD4 compatible... just flash and done!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That would be sweet, I haven't had a chance to get to that and a lot of people are asking for it. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That's actually a pretty good idea about the toggle color, I'm definitely going to look into that. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Epic:
What kernel is everyone running? I'm getting terrible battery life for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm on the stock kernel, my battery life is about the same as the stock rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
Same here... bone stock. May wanna check ur wake locks... doubt it's kernel related since it's stock but never hurts to check.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rickmatic:
There's an xposed app that u can change toggle color and even theme it. I'll link u in a bit...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363938
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Yea, I found that before, thanks though. Right now I'm learning to put things into the rom itself instead of relying on Xposed. Don't get me wrong, Xposed is awesome and I appreciate you posting the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rickmatic:
It's just for those of us who wanna use this rom with a few customization options, before u have the next release.

We all appreciate the work ur putting into this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcluvin1065:
I just hope this rom STAYS stock....i love this rom because its stock, and not loaded with all the things that make it unstock.... Leave all the customizations to MOAR.. But thanks metal, this rom has been my daily for a few weeks now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
OR....!!!!!!!!

Make whatever customizations you plan on applying on a .zip file we can flash after installing. That way you don't make something just for certain users. You can make something for everyone not just stock people. In the end my respects go to you regardless of what you do with the rom. All good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
