VERY solid for me so far. I'm glad the good old "MP-Decision" is back. My CPU now settles way more rapidly, battery life seems better too. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrsubway:
Just a note. I'm getting about 100mb more free ram with this ROM. Shoutout. Very well done. Wish I'd come here sooner. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scorpionhd2:
I had the cam issue as well until flashing 3.5. Flash the ROM, then flash pa 0 day gapps 02.27. After that, boot up, go into settings, apps, camera, and delete data and cache. Launch camera. It should prompt you with a location request. If you got here, cam should be good. Try it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xFallacy:
This ROM/Kernel set is fantastic. I'm seeing significant improvements in both battery life and responsiveness.

My only issue is that Bluetooth media still doesn't transmit any metadata to my car. It worked perfectly on PA3.99RC2, so it's not my music app. I sincerely hope this is dealt with somehow, the ROM is absolutely perfect for me but for this one problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acme anvil:
Just tried this as well on the 2.17 gapps. Works like a charm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poppo101:
+1 on that. All of this talk about building a system would have never made it past the second or third post. I think it is great that we can share ideas with each other. Plus the system building talk isn't off topic because it is giving Pwn ideas for rebuilding his system to help him give us more pwncakes. :D

By the way, all of this system building talk is making this old goat think about building a file server to get rid of all of the assorted standalone backup drives that are sitting around. Plus I haven't built a system since I built one for my younger daughter when she went off to college back in 2001.

Well, time to download the latest Quantum and give it a whirl on my play with ROMs phone.

clean install and no problems. have to admit I changed the wack a pwn boot image back to the google spinny thing.

was wondering if updating my boot/modem from mg2/mjb to MJ2/MJ2 would help improve reception.

I am not interested in gaining KNOX at all. I found this file but was hoping someone could direct me to the mj2 modem

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Guess it didn't gain much popularity haha! Likely because it has chances of being extremely close to MJB, considering how the bootloader is almost the same too. :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
That's why I like this thread, it goes off topic but it never goes too far and it always stays relevant. It's not even that much of a rebuild, I just have never noticed how bad it was! I haven't really played games in a while, but I fired one up and realized how hot it was getting. I also had issues with GPU decoding in VLC as well as assorted other issues. When I dusted my computer the other day I found out my CPU was being throttled pretty hard, building has been much less painful now that it's all worked out.

The best part about my PC is that when I bought it I got top quality parts except for the GPU for around 500, and then the GPU cost around 115. I never had to buy anything else until now. I usually spent my money either paying for some dumb car repairs or on my drumset.

For those who want an update on everything, I was finally able to get a PC case! I ended up getting the HAF 912 and a 200 mm Fan. It all comes in tomorrow (woo free next day due to Amazon slipup), and I'll post some before and after for all of you. I'm expecting a 20-30 degree drop in temps inside the case to be completely honest, especially once my new hours kick in and I can get more fans.

I would expect a new kernel build, (no new ROM stuff) either tonight or tomorrow after everything gets set up!

Maybe, nothing has changed on my end, so maybe it was a random commit from CM. But I am noticing less static(?) on the screen if that make sense.

Here you go, I went and made a whole new folder for all of these. I'll go find the Canadian ones as well.

You WILL notice a difference with data upgrading to MJ2 from MG2 due to the fact that the radio will now prefer to hang onto HSPA as opposed to 3G. Supposedly turning it on as soon as there is any hint of network activity makes the connection faster, maybe at the cost to battery life.

I also have MG2 and would like to upgrade to MJ2, do I flash the boot and modem on your link?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PlayingPoise:
Thanks, man! Hopefully this will fix my service dropping in and out. I went to MJB hoping it would fix things, but maybe MJ2 will work better... or are they the same thing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Won't fix that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PlayingPoise:
Is there a definitive fix, yet? :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Don't use LTE. I'm not liking these unified builds at all to be honest. I'm just starting to get randomly dropped text messages as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Even without LTE (have it disabled always cause I get poor reception at work) signal drops often.

Not the biggest fan of the unified builds either. Bit of a regression there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shiniyoyo:
I was just about to mention this tbh
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PlayingPoise:
Think you might end up dropping them? I just drop service every 15 minutes or so, and I gotta wait like 5 minutes for it to come back. Not a HUGE problem, but annoying regardless :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Takes me about 5 seconds to get service back, nowhere near 15 minutes. :|

But for people without MJB you can flash the modem.

Hi, In the your folder which of the 3 do I DL? There's the modem, boot and firm ware modem. Sorry for the noon question.also it says cwm. Can I flash with Twp?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I haven't noticed anything else besides that 1 text, though it was from one of the sexiest ladies I know so I was very, very mad. So trust me I'm gonna check into it ASAP. Like I said there's nothing new on the ROM side, but on the kernel side there are a few goodies I would like to sneak in.

Don't touch a thing. Stay where you are, if you don't know what you're touching then don't install it. Simple as that. Why risk an issue if everything is working fine?

Hey all,

I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow evening until Monday and I'm wondering if you guys think the latest version of Quantum is stable and reliable enough for me to flash for the weekend? As always, I'll make a backup to my current ROM, which is stable, but if it's going to be too unreliable I'd rather not even flash it until I get back because I do want to check it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
It's stable, but there's still the random radio bug, so have something handy in case of emergency. I can upload you my personal 3.46 that I ran for a few days that is essentially 3.45 with fixed camera and ART if you would like.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
That would be amaze balls man I'd appreciate it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarKnight6969:
It is very stable, and has been ever since I stumbled upon quantum back in Oct/Nov. Personally I've never had a problem with it ever. A definite daily driver for myself, and always will be.

Tried a clean install, but I using want to wait for everything to download/reinstall, so I restored my nan-backup, then did a dirty flash. Great work as always Pwn!

Although my trickster doesn't seems to be sticking, but I'm not 100% sure yet. Just noticed a couple settings seemed to be different then when I thought I had changed. I'll check and see with a reboot

Edit: it stuck. Must've forgot to apply the first time lol

If your looking to just center your clock and change clock color, than use this little flashable .zip file. It will add this option in your settings with no need to have an added app like xposed. It works with Quantom rom 4.4.2 and CM 11 roms

updated to mj2/mj2 boot/modem last night and am now receiving LTE inside place of work. I work in a old school made from brick and never barely got H or H+.

Just installed this rom last night and so far it's great.....

except I just noticed my contacts stop at the letter B. I thought last night I had them all but can't be sure. Anyone else encounter this? And is there a fix? I tried to restore through Titanium but it failed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
I wouldn't touch that mod with a 10 foot pole. All it does is replace settings.apk and systemui.apk with the ones packaged, meaning you're technically playing with the core components of the rom.

SystemUI gets touched by commits every so often, so using some version that's not maintained isn't a good idea at all.

Settings is *only* the settings page/app. If another entry gets added along the run for whichever option in the rom, you won't get it if you keep flashing this.

I checked cause I was curious to see if it used any sort of intelligent patching. It does not, just as I expected.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Told ya it'd end up being much better! It'll hang onto the fastest connection it possibly can until it's toast. I should've never updated from MJ2 to MJB.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Longcat14:
Yeah, I'm running the same thing (albeit MJB modem with MJ2 bootloader), and it runs great.

Only problem now is that random signal dropping bug, annoys me, but I don't want to give the ROM up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Yes. Not a stupid question, it's confusing enough.

Yes, ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT ON MJB BOOTLOADER

You know, so nobody bricks their phone.

CM upstream issue. It will get solved in time I'm sure. Probably.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] munraf:
If the bootloader hasn't been updated but I have flashed MJB radio, can I just flash the MJ2 radio? Or do i risk bricking / losing signal?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mojar7070:
Hello

Is the mj2 bootloader/modem specific to quantum only or can I flash this on other roms??

I have mg2 boot/modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
You don't usually risk bricking by flashing a modem. Check and report your bootloader version nonetheless for more specific instructions for you.

It is not Quantum specific.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
Ok thanks. I am on MG2 bootloader, not sure about modem because I can't find it, unless that's the same thing as baseband, which is also MG2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] munraf:
Thank you, I checked my bootloader just to be safe and it's UCDLK3. I think I'll just leave it at that for now unless there is a huge benefit of upgrading. I went ahead and just upgraded my modem to MJ2 in hopes for better service.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Bootloader is one thing

Baseband/modem/radio are the other. :)

There's no risk upgrading your bootloader to MJ2. You can always revert to a previous bootloader with this one. The dreaded bootloader is the MJB one.

Ideally, one should try to not mix and match bootloader/modem but rather stick with 1 version. Seems to yield the best results most of the time. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
You can flash other roms, but why would you want to flash anything other than quantum. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrsubway:
Just a note. I'm on the mjb bootloader and can only use the mjb modem now. If I flash any other modem it will not see the Sim card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Yep, or you won't get data/signal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] munraf:
Thanks yet again! Updated bootloader to MJ2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
Ok so I can flash the MJ2 bootloader and MJ2 baseband/modem/radio on my AT&T S3? I just don't want to have a brick on my hands.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] munraf:
If I'm not mistaken you can only do this if your current bootloader is NOT MJB. (You can check this with an app from play store called android system info). If you have anything other than MJB I think you are fine. Modem should be ok to flash either way I believe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Absolutely.

He has MG2 bootloader, as per his previous post.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Subsonic44:
I'd rather answer this 1000 times than have anyone brick. You can flash that combo SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ON THE MJB BOOTLOADER!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LiquidT:
Are you saying that you wouldn’t touch this flash??

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2607371

I’m just checking. If this is not a good thing than I will quit using it…
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Yes that's what I mean. It works now, most likely will work for a long time unless it gets broken by a commit, but you're replacing 2 system APKs by modded ones. There's nothing inherently wrong with that as long as they are compatible AND updated.

They are compatible at this time of the day but the modded APKs don't include any CM commit after they were modded (January 24th). Basically you're using outdated files on your new nightlies. You can understand why this can lead to problems.

Edit:

Also the update script seems to be took from another mod completely as it has instructions that are completely useless to it:

ui_print("............................");
ui_print("............................");
ui_print("..please wait...............");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Copying files...");
package_extract_dir("system/framework", "/system/framework");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/android.policy.jar");
package_extract_dir("system/framework", "/system/framework");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/framework.jar");
package_extract_dir("system/framework", "/system/framework");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/framework2.jar");
package_extract_dir("system/framework", "/system/framework");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/framework/services.jar");
package_extract_dir("system/priv-app", "/system/priv-app");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/priv-app/Launcher3.apk");
package_extract_dir("system/priv-app", "/system/priv-app");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/priv-app/Settings.apk");
package_extract_dir("system/priv-app", "/system/priv-app");

ui_print("............................");
ui_print("............................");
ui_print("....Installation done!......");
ui_print("............................");
ui_print("............................");

There's no android.policy.jar, framework.jar, framework2.jar, services.jar ot launcher3.apk in the ZIP file. So it seems to have been packaged by someone with little knowledge...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
As Subsonic44 said, it's not bad per se. It's just that once you go to MJB, you're stuck with it. You can't downgrade, and if for some reason you'd like to go back to any absolutely stock TW rom (that include the bootloader/modem) prior to 4.3 you'll end up with a not working phone. That's why you see the MJ2 bootloader recommended for d2att users, as it's technically almost identical to MJB but without the impossibility to downgrade as well as KNOX feature.

I wish I had the time, but I try to help around here as much as I can while keeping my own personal life under control. Sorry, but I'm am flattered. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrsubway:
1. I would NOT flash ANYTHING that says mjb. I made that mistake. You risk upgrading your bootloader. Now my phone has no warranty. :( If it's JUST the MJB modem, you should be fine. If you have the MJ2 bootloader, I'd say go with an MJ2 modem, if there is one. I'm not sure.

2. Did you synch your contacts to Google? If so, they're still on the cloud, so no worries. If you didn't, and don't have a backup, well...:(

3. I would start from scratch. Backup your apps with Titanium Backup, and do a full wipe. Go into recovery, factory reset, clear dalvik cache, cache, and format the system partition. Then, flash the latest Quantum Rom, a gapps package, (I like PA Gapps myself,) clear dalvik and cache again, and reboot. You'll get a totally reset phone. You can restore your apps with TIBU, or just download them again from the market. Again, if your contacts weren't backed up then you probably lost them. I back them up to google and to a file on my PC just to be safe. I have a sh*tload of contacts! Also, if you try adding a contact like "David" can you then scroll past B?
