Do I need an updated Bootloader to flash this ? Im on 4.1.2 Id rather not update my bootloader , Any fixes for this ?

Merry Christmas!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr. Clown:
Merry Christmas to you too. Thanks for your contributions for the XDA community.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] udelgadochio:
Help please!

How do I know which version is my phone... T999 or T999/L/N/V?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Nope, you don't have to update the bootloader in order to use this ROM, only the Modem.

What carrier are you on?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kinjus0675:
how long?

how long after flashing should it take for the system to reboot? I know the OP says to be patient, been sitting on a samsung logo for 15 minutes now. How "patient" should i be before starting the process all over again? Installed modem and rom per OP instructions using TWRP. Merry Christmas everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jck.sparrow:
NFC not work for me... ):

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] udelgadochio:
Hi! My phone was originally T-mobile, but I unlocked it with a code for using it in Mexico. Hope you can help me, thanks in advance! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr. Clown:
If it is a T Mobile variant it should be a SGH-T999 or SGH -T999L. Remove the battery and look in the white tag, it should say which version your phone is. As far as I know, this rom supports these 2 T-Mobile variants. Just need to update the modem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
I would flash again. Make sure you wipe all the caches. First boot for me is about 5 minutes

I have to admit something. I flashed a KitKat rom, & I was disappointed. I'm back to this because of the best rom I've used for some time

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
lol...yes you can flash other non AROMA ROMs after flashing this...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kinjus0675:
fixed

Followed your advice and finally got it to stick. Admittedly it took me quite a while, flash kept freezing or issues with aroma not starting etc., but when I finnaly got it done it worked perfectly. I'm getting a couple of FC's here and there but nothing major. This ROM is excellent and quite honestly I couldn't stand "stock" before until this. Ty and thanks to the OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Weird I don't get any force closes. Any specific app? Did you restore data with titanium backup or rOM Toolbox pro
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kinjus0675:
Specific example: when I enable multi-window and select internet and drag it to the screen to create a "window"I get an FC on it. Also when I go to settings, accessibility, text to speech I get an fc. Like I said, minor things. I'll try and clear data app specific and see if that helps

Happy 4.3 user

This has to be one of the best 4.3 roms ive tried so far..:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] milkdudxp:
Hey all, I'm having issues with my gallery. I recently moved from stock 4.1.2 to stockMOD ROM 4.3 v4. I can't seem to get the pictures from the internal storage to show up. If I borrow someone else's microSD, I can take pictures and view them just fine. I searched this thread and found someone saying that they moved everything from /data/media to /data/media/0. I did that but it still didn't work. I've also tried clearing data from gallery and media storage apps as well as clearing cache and dalvik. Any solutions or thoughts?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shinkien:
love this rom. been running it for a week and no performance issues at all. only thing i'm missing is the tw keyboard. does anyone have the apk or know of a way to get it in this rom?

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

verify the location of the pics in root and if they're still there. check in storage/emulated/0/DCIM, that's where my new pics go. i managed to delete all of my old ones when i formatted the phone for a clean install. you can take a pic and save it to internal storage then check the details for its path.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
thanks bro...downloaded this rom....will try after class....:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

wish nothing will b wrong
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
will it effect my cwm touch recovery??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
No it will not

You should going to Application Manager and clear data on your gallery

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Does anybody have experience with exposed modules slowing down the ROM?. They seem to add a lot of lag to my phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
quick help!!!!!!!!!

i'm trying to flash it bt the aroma doesnt boot up....trying 2 times..wht should i do???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:

SHOULd i flash insecure karnel?????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
I never did and had no issues. I ended up flashing [MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION]'s DKP kernel and its nice
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] milkdudxp:
The problem is, I don't see the images that get saved to internal storage. The gallery thumbnail from the camera app just shows a grey box.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
which xposed modules? :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
I have heard of a corrupt image doing this. You might do a full wipe (including format internal SD card) and then reflash ROM. Sorry its a lot of work :(

These 6 modules - removed framework and everything is fast now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
that's actually really interesting...the opposite happens for me, with XPosed installed, the ROM seems to run a little smoother lol. might it be just one of the modules you have installed i wonder..? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
Should this(v7) be flashable over ODIN'd stock rooted 4.3 ? It stops after starting aroma installer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Should be. I flashed it over ODIN'd stock (un)rooted 4.3, but with CWM. Took me more than 4 tries to get AROMA to work though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
Will we get any more update recently,?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
Ok - thanks - only tried it twice - lol.

Have been away from S3 for over a year (handed down to g-friend), and while updating it, I got it KNOX'd apparently - so was wondering if that would block it. Having trouble with titanium, and was hoping maybe it would work OK on this (modded) ROM.

Update - just got update to titanium which fixed the problem - FC on selecting individual apps. Now if i could only get this ROM to flash... Jurt did - third try was the charm !

Looks pretty good, Only thing noticed right away was the GE camera FC's when I try to select a mode - nay fix on that ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Please no ETA, we're currently taking a little break, spending some time with friends and family. Hope you understand :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Yeah it could be one of the modules or even DKP Kernel, I am not sure which is the cause. At the same time I uninstalled xposed, I also reset DKP kernel to default settings. Now my phone is smooth. So maybe it was my custom governor or something
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hasansabuz:
Yes I do...thanks fr reply...and thanks fr ur work.., :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:
Enjoy bro
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
Ok so here's my question. I know its always best to do a clean flash, but do you think one is necessary if im switching between the two ROMs here? I'm currently on the unchanged stockMOD ROM, but i want to switch to the (slim) one. I will probably end up doing a clean flash just because it saves me the worry of extra bugs, but I was just curious how necessary it is since they both have the same base.

Thanks and happy holidays/new years :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:
Yeah my opinion u better of if u do a clean install dude
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hccaus:
Bluetooth Sound Quality

I'm considering using this ROM, I'm very sensitive to Bluetooth sound quality. Is APT-X enabled in this ROM? Reason why I'm asking is that I was using CM10.2 prior to using the stock 4.3 ROM from Samsung. After the ROM from CM10.2 to Touchwiz Stock 4.3 ROM (Official), the Bluetooth sound quality went bad. I use LG-HBS730 as the receiver. After experiencing this bad sound quality issue, I switched back to CM10.2 (through bricking and debricking my phone..) and the Bluetooth sound quality came back to its optimal performance. Had anyone had this kinda issue on this ROM? or is the 'Audio Mods' in the first thread represents a tweak for better sound quality compared to the official stock 4.3 ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Found it... had to start at Root. Data - Media - Ringtones

Just installed this. Coming from 4.1 Darthstaker X2. Full wipe of course, but not internal or external sd cards.

I had a couple ringtones I had made that are no longer listed when I try to assign a ringtone. Anyone know where I can find by these? I use FX File Explorer. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
where were the ringtones located? have you tried any ringtone assignment apps?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
Ok, so I ended up doing a full wipe/reset before switching between the stockmod rom and the slim one. Everything worked fine, except that I seem to have lost root in the process. I tried flashing the insecure kernel, but its still saying i dont have root and SuperSU is saying there's no superSU binary installed. I still have CWM which is where i trued flashing both the insecure kernel and the superSU update in this thread, but neither of them seemed to have worked.

Did I do something wrong, or does anyone have any suggestions of why it didnt work?

Thanks

EDIT: Can i use CF auto root in odin to manually inject root since KNOX is removed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
flash SuperSU zip from OP
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
I did that and I wrote that I did that in my post.

I couldn't find a solution so I ended up installing cf auto root via Odin which worked.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

Developer Notes:

The following all apply to

Note 3 Style

only:

You'll get a bunch of FC errors when the device boots up, just ignore them and they will go away.

After initial setup, DIRECTLY GO INTO LOCKSCREEN SETTINGS, AND CHANGE IT TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATERCOLOUR, IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL BE STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP.

After initial setup (and changing the lockscreen), immediately perform a reboot for a smoother experience

Many thanks to xda member RagzDog for his contributions in the i9300 forums, and for allowing us permission to use parts of his ROM

Bugs

These apply to the

Note 3 Style

only, Stock is bug-free:

Smart pause/scroll still don't fully work

Watercolour Lockscreen WILL CAUSE a bootloop

Weird overscroll image

When taking a screenshot, it'll say that the screenshot wasn't taken, don't worry, it was

Using the search bar in settings will cause FC

Please report

Enjoy the update ladies and gentlemen, and once again, Happy New Year!

Hope you guys like the new OP artwork!

That is some tempting stuff with the experimental. Might try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oreice:
*hand

my only question is what is this big hand showing when i scroll all the way down.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
It's the weird overscroll stated in the bugs section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oreice:
oh anyway to get rid of it or no?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:
Not yet I'm guessing note 3 still experimental on gs3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
You don't have to guess it's experimental, it's all in the changelog. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
lol guys read the change log :p

even though it's still "Experimental", i think its great (at least for me) as a daily driver! Thanks again Team Inferno!

where in this rom shall I go to enable data toggle
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
Are the links working? Each time I try to download it, I get redirected to the play store to download a game.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
That's probably the advertisements. Pressing the back button to back out of the Play Store was all I had to do.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
I get download unsuccessful. Tried that 5 different times, all with same result.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ppgregory:
Installed the 1/2/2014 unmodded version with a few aroma updates. Working fine except I lost the stock video player. Re-flashed and still missing. Reinstalled again with Note 3 video player option and that one didn't show up either. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
check the mods section, post 4

Let me mirror it on androidfilehost then...i DevHost was acting up on me as well, sorry about that

check /system/apps, are the two apps SecVideoPlayer.apk and SecVideoList.apk in there?

The installation stucked on the Aroma Installer for the last 15min?

I am installing StockMOD Custom ROM v8

edit: Now my cell is stuck on the boot anim of Illusion ROM 4.3+

edit: I was able to restore to an older back up but still no chance flashing your v8.

I'll give it a last and 4 time tomorrow and see if it would work, i really would like to try it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beachbum40:
I can confirm gets stuck at boot where it says Samsung Galaxy Slll. I let it sit for 30 minutes but nothing happened.

Oh and I tried it with cwm and twrp latest versions
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
READ!!!

AROMA freezing is a known issue, just keep trying and it'll eventually work!

and which style did you guys choose, Stock or Note 3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beachbum40:
Note 3 and stock v8 it keeps getting stuck in boot

Wont flash ...wont get to aroma. Help plz
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
aroma issues

found you can't use aroma while phone is charging or connected to usb. as long as unhooked will usually boot with no issue
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
you tried the androidfilehost link as well? this is weird...what errors does recovery give?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but I have slim v7 and when I take a screenshot I get different wording. Not an issue, just more of a curiosity
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xiehaibo:
it's frozen when I install the rom,it's saying:starting AROMA INSTALLER version 2.00. HELP ME! Please!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
...read!!!

the page before this one literally tells you all you need to know...im tired of saying the same thing over and over again lol...

KEEP TRYING, IT'LL EVENTUALLY WORK.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beachbum40:
Cool off okaham. Man some people just cant handle helping others. Anyways I just open recovery and before I do anything I reboot recovery then go to v8 rom and flash all works from there on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:
yeah we all know about aroma it does freeze but keep on trying dude eventually it will work I try about 7 times to installed it finally I did
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beachbum40:
What got it working for me was I first booted into recovery once I was in custom recovery I did factory reset wipe then format system. Once done I just reboot recovery then scroll to where the rom was and flashed. It went straight into aroma and all worked great
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
I installed just fine but root isn't working even after flashing the kernal with fixed root
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imilleson:
Lol it must be asked every 5 pages or so.

Hey [MENTION=4377316]beachbum40[/MENTION], he did in fact help . I didn't see you telling people how to get past the aroma installer freezing every few pages like [MENTION=4325898]Okaham[/MENTION] has been . give him a break, its a stupid question to ask if you follow forum rules, which state, READ THE OP

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Its as simple as copying the content to your computer or external SD card, formatting internal, and restoring. Or do what I do and USD an aroma file manager to move it all in recovery and delete /0/0/0/0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ppgregory:
Neither file is there...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
then there's our problem! i forgot to add them in, sorry about that. grab the files from /system/app from the last version :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] notufatjesus:
Downloaded with Next Browser....worked like a charm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] potzrj:
The rom is great. But i didn't found the calendar widget! I miss a lot this widget.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nook'r:
Thanks for the tip, I had to wipe the format the cache and system partition and the installation went fine.

It should be mentioned in the OP anyway.

Edit: I am done with this ROM, I am sure its a great piece of software but i am getting FCs, i cant even get pass the account setup screen and constant reboots while setting up google account.

peace out
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] notufatjesus:
Also...not sure if it was 2 bad downloads or if it was cause I changed the download path. First 2 times I downloaded to the root of my *EXT SD CARD. No dice.....

3rd time, I used Next Browser and downloaded to the root of my sd card on the phone,.if that makes sense.

And to the guy having force closures....there's a lot of bugs still. I understand your frustrated. Did you know if you press Home while at your home page you get a TouchWiz Force Close? Well thats like pressing HOME TWICE. I fixed it by setting that to be VOICE SEARCH WITH WANAM EXPOSED. Thaat may be the reason you said u had fcs.... AND YOU CANT GET PASSED THE SET UP SCREEN WITHOUT REBOOTS BECAUSE YOU ******need to take.off WATERCOLOR under lockscreen effect. The reboot comes when your screen turns off, (or goes to that WATERCOLOR effect)....i hurried and skipped the set up screen and went to settings to fix that. I too was frustrated but kept trying til I got it. So im sharing what I did.....my thing now (probably not rom related...I only get to 85%charge using two different stock batteries. Ive wiped battery stats and now think its my 2 batteries. Wont know til I get a new one. But n one having the same problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
I'm using the stock version with no added apps or widgets in aroma and so far everything is working perfectly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Okaham:
your choice i guess, but you're missing out :p if you want a full stock experience, use the Stock Style instead of Note 3!

you can always try flashing another ROM and seeing if the battery thing remains, and also, do your batteries seem like they're bulging out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Need users to confirm if flashing the Note 3 style will result in a boot loop, thanks!

-Saranhai
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Richcar:
I had no problems with boot loop did a full wipe and fellow your instructions and all were fine . As soon as the rom boot up I went into lockscreen setting and change it from watercolor everything is working as it should . Thanks
