MD8 Android 4.4.2 Update has been released for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III! Can't wait till we get an S5 themed StockMOD ROM, it's gonna be sick!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
[5.3.14] Update!

.::StockMOD ROM::.

RLS2.1

"Samsung Galaxy S5"​

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Had a little bit of extra time today between studying for exams, so decided to cook a small update for you all! The ROM has now been further themed to look like the Samsung Galaxy S5, look below for what's been changed!

Changelog:

-Rebased to[B] T999UVUENC2[/B]
-Added the following from the Galaxy S5:
--Real Ported Galaxy S5 Launcher
--Accuweather Widget
--MyFiles Themed S5
--Bootanimation/Shutdown animation
--Boot Audio
--Sounds
--Font
-SystemUI and Framework-Res further themed
-Cleaned up system

Developer Notes:

-AROMA Installer is still causing trouble, so standby on that issue

-Swiping up from the homescreen will bring you the Pull-up Activity app, choose My Magazines to be the default app it opens

-To further the fuctions of the Galaxy S5, use the lovely XPosed Framework and it's plethora of mods! I personally use:

--MenuBeGone (Replaces menu function to multitasking window, just like the Galaxy S5

--Tinted StatusBar (Statusbar colors changed to your choice!)

-

THE UPDATE MUST BE FLASHED OVER RLS2 OR ELSE IT WILL NOT BOOT!

Bugs:

-Swipe Left from the homescreen will not bring up My Magazines, "App not installed" error (Look above for temporary fix)

-Most of the "Extra Settings" in the Settings app will not work due to differences in the SystemUI and framework!

Attached below are some screenshots of the theme

The AT&T ROM was having some issues, which is why I am rebasing this to T999UVUENC2 for now. Will try again when I get the time. There shouldn't be any problems since both d2tmo and d2att are interflashable. :good:

This will most likely be the last major update until Android 4.4 hits! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I just DL'ed this update and I got caught in a boot loop. I wiped and tried to flash the previous release -- same boot loop. I do have the 4.3 bootloader in my phone already. Am I missing something or should I just wait?

Is the download booster in this? WiFi+data 4g LTE
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
Try this method to install RLS2:

"who ever is having issue with installation of RSL2 this is what i did: I wipe DATA, CACHE, FORMAT SYSTEM AND DALVIK, installed ROM, boot up i know some of us have the problem with rebooting over and over and not going any where after that, go back to recovery and wipe cache, and dalvik (i dont know if thats the right spell but u get the point) reinstalled rom again, and reboot viola!! good luck kids"

No.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
Install this after flashing RLS2.1 to get working left swipe to MyMagazine. Note: This link is MEGA so you need to install the app to save the file.

If it still FCs then delete "Lounge.apk" from the system folder (backing it up and renaming it is the same as deleting, safest way)

If the news doesn't load then install flipboard.

@ saranhai:

It worked!

1. wiped cache and dalvik

2. re-installed rom.

3. done deal!

If bugs\glitches come up, I'll report them. Go saranhai!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Okaham:
Hi i tried this and it didn't really work..perhaps you could help me out?

I installed it as a regular app, and then went to /system/apps, but there was no "Lounge.apk" anywhere?

I have flipboard installed

Thanks in advanced
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
Try this, the final version of the launcher.

Whenever I try to install I get a Status 7 error. I have wiped everything multiple times. I think it said that there were too few arguments.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Update your recovery. Philz cwm latest or twrp will get rid of your status 7
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Okaham:
Hey! I flashed this in recovery and it worked!! :)

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
Great! No problem man! I can post a link to all the launcher themes if anyone wants them soon. I'm still in school.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kalel420:
Can't get the wallpapers to change from that launcher it say app not installer i can change it via settings page
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joseyamil7:
Using root browser enter system app and delete sec wallpaper chooser below this one there should be a sec wallpaper picker or something like that left that one there and reboot. It should work now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
I'm Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly loving this rom, just a few issues that I probably should have asked before I found the sweet spot. Cheers to anyone with answers... (I switched from Beanstalk 4.4, fwiw)

1. The Aroma installer never appeared for me. When I first flashed, it sat on the "samsung" screen for ~12 minutes, which if I remember correctly is a common bug, so I just rebooted it. When it came back up it took me straight to the "Set up your account" stuff. This *may* be the source of some of my issues?

2. It's calling itself a T-mo device and only gave itself a cingulair APN. Data is fine, voice is fine, signal is better than ever. Wifi-calling kept crashing till I found it to disable, since afaik AT*T doesn't offer this.

3. GPS icon swaps back and forth with a usb3 icon. No biggie. Sometimes the usb3 icon hangs for a long time.

4. None of the status bar mods work at all. Battery mod, etc, nothing happens. This is only moderately frustrating, as some of those battery mods are pretty sexy.

So...like I said, no deal killers, more "Am I dumb?" questions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caocao47:
I am experiencing the same issues except for #2. Aroma was removed (stated in changelog, so forgive me there ) , gps/usb3, no bar mods. Came from intergalactic rom. Clean install etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
Does Aroma work in stock recovery? I've got mobile Odin I can use to flash it, but not sure if Aroma works in stock recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
You need custom recovery for this I believe and this is a regular flashable zip, no aroma is in it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
Thank you for the thorough report.

1. Since RLS2, AROMA Installer has been removed due to unresolved issues with the script, read the changelog for further information

2. Calling itself a T-Mobile device because of T999UVUENC2 base (if this bothers you, change the device name in /system/build.prop

3. Thanks for the report, will look into it

4. Read the Developer Notes in the previous page, most of the "Extra Settings" will not work due to the S5 themed SystemUI and Framework

-Saranhai
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
Thanks for the reply. I was looking in the OP instead of a previous post. I won't do that anymore. Excellent ROM all around, very happy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
Flashed it okay through Mobile-Odin/stock recovery, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
Can anyone tell me how to get battery percentage because there's no option in Display settings and the option in extra setting doesn't work. Also how to get "Translucent" status bar on home screen not transparent you can get in tinted status bar but I need Translucent just like kitkat home screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
Settings > More > Battery > Show Battery Percentage
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
Thanks mate. Any idea for Translucent bar ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
Mine is translucent, but I honestly don't remember if it was before I installed the updated S5 launcher that allows for the Magazine app to open on a left swipe rather than having to swipe up from the bottom. Try installing the launcher below that [MENTION=4839376]Smash2Bash[/MENTION] posted earlier in this thread. If that doesn't give you the translucent status bar, let me know and I'll try to figure out what else I've messed with.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
That's all I did and I believe it was transparent so you should be good. Unless... if that doesn't work. Change it in wanam exposed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xami:
Thanks a bunch [MENTION=4839376]Smash2Bash[/MENTION] [MENTION=3847873]RampageRR[/MENTION]

Also if there's a way to select my app to open instead of magazine swiping to the left or swiping up as fake pull up doesn't work with this version

Edit: Since you guys are helping :p How can I enable emoji in google keyboard like on AOSP 4.4 rom its pre-enabled

Also I need proper secwallpaperchooser apk. Pre-installed one FC and I can't even selct live wallpaper :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
Love the 2.1 update. Installed over RLS2 without any wipe needed. Only issue I noticed is page buddy not working. It is set to ON in setting but doesn't engage when headphones are plugged in or while roaming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
Page buddy doesn't work due to the s5 launcher being installed. In order for it to work you have to install the old launcher back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] avel7the7hated:
Hey guys! I'm really curious about this and I want to see if anyone knew if this is possible.

I have a T-Mobile S3 that I've unlocked and put an At&t sim in. With the rom I have on it currently it will allow for calls and text but it will not work with voicemail at all. Has anyone with the same situation used this rom with voicemail successfully?

Thanks guys!

Is there any way of enabling the lock screen widgets on this is rom. In settings the options are faded out and cant enable them?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shiniyoyo:
A 4.3 TW limitation is if you use lock screen security, then you can't use custom lockscreen widgets. However there is an exposed module which allows you to do so
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vxkillswitchxv37:
I installed the module and works perfectly. Thanks for the quick response.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joehen873:
Does this rom have the s5 bubble lockscreen with camera button. I think its only possible on kitkat but was just wondering
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shiniyoyo:
correct, that is only a 4.4 lockscreen

Hey guys, a quick question: for some reason i only get EDGE connections after flashing this ROM along with the MJB modem...any ideas? On the i747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Smash2Bash:
Only idea I have is check your APN and make sure it's the LTE one.

there was only the phone one. i added the LTE one and it stays on Edge even after rebooting
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nodyarg:
i just flashed this on i747m with the latest UEND2 modem. lots of issues so far. on first boot i got a popup that says google play services has stopped, which keeps coming back. when i try to swipe to the left of my home screen it says application not installed, same with when i try to change the homescreen. when i try to swipe my screen up i get a pull up from fakejap windows that says to select the default app to launch. i wiped system, data, cache, dalvik, and factory reset before installing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joehen873:
Did u flash rls 2 first?? U will have problems if ur coming from a different rom and not rls 2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kb9nvh:
I flashed 2.1 to my i747 and had all the same problems. Data was hit or miss, I had no LTE network to choose from, and got the play services has stopped.

I looked and already had the correct modem flashed so I just went back to 2.0 and it all works again. I'm perplexed as I did a complete wipe and reset prior to the flash. Seems like it was going the t mobile settings instead of ATT.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saranhai:
You guys probably have to change the APN settings to that of AT&T. You can find the APNs online :good:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] v1ral:
Okay guys.

I have an issue flashing the Rom.

I followed the instructions twice, both times I haven't encounter the aroma installer part.

Fwiw, I'm coming from an aokp Rom that I have been.using for a few months now*almost a year*.

What happens after installing the kernal I go to reboot it says no os install, but the install says "successful". Do I boot after system then install kernel, the thing is, there isn't an os to boot up with.

I believe I'm on the latest bootloader*wouldn't matter much, it says it's optional*

So what am I doing wrong.

This phone is my girlfriend's S3 and she wants to change it up a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
ATT switched to a single APN. Any feeds you're getting are from the original APN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nodyarg:
No I didn't flash from rls 2. The download links for release 2 are all dead. The entire dev-host folder is empty. Where can i find it? Can someone host it for me?

Apparently we should know to come from release 2 from reading instructions, i dont see that anywhere in these instructions:

How To Flash:

Make a Nandroid Backup!

Flash I747UCUEMJB Modem

Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik/System if coming from another ROM

Flash ROM: If flashing freezes at "Initiating AROMA", just take out the battery, reboot to recovery, and keep trying! It'll eventually work.

Flash Kernel (For WiFi)

Reboot and Enjoy

*First Boot will look like it has frozen, be patient.*

APN settings do not cause stability issues, all that will change is if you get a mobile data connection or not. If you are talking about the guys who are getting only edge, either they didnt pay attention to the big red writing on the first post that said YOU MUST FLASH THE I747UCUEMJB MODEM FOR AT&T GALAXY S III IN ORDER FOR DATA TO WORK...

or that might be an issue where the operating mode needs to be changed in the service menu. If it was a bad APN I dont think you would get data at all, not even EDGE. Check this thread for accessing the service menu and changing it to LTE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176505. Im not sure how their phones would have lost that configuration, but i know my phone occasionally loses its USB configuration and when i plug it into my computer it doesnt show up as a storage device, so i have to dial *#0808# and change from MODEM back to MTP+ADB.

Seems like it.

I actually have the same issues. Sometimes I will flash a ROM.zip in TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery and then it will say that SuperSU is not installed, that's how I know a ROM won't boot. You can try wiping everything and ADB sideloading a rom, although it doesn't work for me. At this point I usually just ODIN flash a stock ROM and stock recovery and start over from the beginning. I'm guessing this is an issue with TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery becoming corrupt and not being able to flash images anymore
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Okaham:
This is what happens if you don't read any of the OP, or the thread, and just head straight to the download button...

AROMA has been removed since version RLS2. The "no OS installed" is due to you flashing RLS2.1 by itself, when you should be flashing it on top of RLS2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nodyarg:
read the post above your post. show me where in the op it says to flash rls 2 first. we are supposed to read all 118 pages of the thread before flashing? did you read every single post? because you clearly didnt read mine before posting or you would know there are no links for rls2. you're talking ****
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
The one I have had is similar. So you say it will not reboot after you have installed the rom in recovery and once you force it too reboot i.e. holding power button it will stick at the Samsung screen. You could have a bad download, did you check the md5 ? You did flash the bootloader/modem and then the rom and then the kernel ?

Does it ever boot up at all ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheLastSidekick:
Yes no two devices are the same and everyone has different apps on their device. As much as I'd like to say this thing is stable, its really not. Its more of a play toy. I've used it for 3 days but the battery was killing me. You may lose root occasionally in which case you flash the kernel and fix permissions and you'll gain it back.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

You're probably going to need a JTAG if your phone won't even turn on. Search Google for JTAG services (location of your residence), outside of this there isn't much we can do because your phone won't boot. If we can't get to download/recovery at this point there's definitely a hard brick going on.

Note : if you have an SDCard that's big enough and emmc dump for your device that you bricked, you should be able to recover it on your own following these steps. But this is the T-Mobile forum so please don't use any of the T-Mobile specific files. Just replace the Tmobile files with AT&T files and use the same steps. Please read the thread for a better understanding.

I can install in recovery... get the rom to boot to the welcome screen and setup the rom. Once I reboot from here, I get stuck on the Samsung screen. From here, I hold the power button to force it to reboot then I hold the buttons (vol up, power, home) to force recovery again - I wipe cache and dalvik and this will let it boot - until the phone rebooted itself, then it got stuck at the Samsung screen and the clear cache/dalvik didn't work.

Using this rom and the other 4.3 Stock Rom in the dev thread produces the same results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheLastSidekick:
Instead of booting into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik...which you don't need to do actually, just flash the pre rooted kernel and reboot. You should boot normally.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
He's correct midnight...have you flashed the rooted kernel ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] splxtreme:
I have a similar issue. If I reboot, I get stuck at the Samsung screen. The buttons light up, it vibrates, and then it will vibrate a second time. After I've seen that it is stuck again, I hold down the power button to shut the device down, and it will then start normal.

Have you tried this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Midnight1970:
Don't you have to go into recovery to flash the kernel? :)

Yes, I've installed the kernel - I installed modem/bootloader, rom, kernel, in that order.
