Hmm, well then I don't know. Usually you move the whole folder, but not sure, you might just have to do a wipe in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] derrek22:
Okay so just a data and cache wipe? What about delvic? I'm sorry I'm rusty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
You could do dalvik as well. It'll just take a while to boot the next time, as it rebuilds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Was checking out a few CM nightly change logs, and lookie what i found! Awesome to have official support for our devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] derrek22:
Damn that sucks. I just went back to 10.1.2. I will probably flash back in a few days then. It's nice to know we are supported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
That is great news it now has official support! :D That may just ease the ice for noobies and what not! :) So, if anyone is having a error adding airtime to your phone, I was, all I did was make a account on straighttalk.com and sign-up, including my phone number and stuff, then I re-activated my phone, and added the airtime pin, and it worked! :D So, goodluck everyone an if anyone can find a TouchWiz Kitkat 4.4.2 rom compatible with our device, let me know! I'd like to start testing! :"D

Best regards!~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Oh there won't be a KitKat touch wiz ROM for quite a while. Touch wiz isn't open source, so Samsung has to develop then specifically for our phones, then people port it into their custom ROM, so Samsung has to release a KitKat touch wiz ROM first.

Ran into a problem earlier today, posting here so you guys don't waste any time making the same mistake I did. Using the Cyanogenmod updater in the settings gave me an update for my nightly build but it was listed under "d2lte" instead of "d2vzw". At first I was reading the change logs and it mentioned that it supported our models but upon actually updating and flashing the new rom it didn't seem to be for the same version. I was getting a signal but it's like what happened to me before when I accidentally flashed a sprint rom on my phone, I wasn't getting any data I can send text messages, make calls, but I have to be on wifi to get data. For some reason the built in updater isn't recognizing our models, or the "d2lte" roms are supposed to support our phones, but don't yet. I'm not sure, but the Cyanogenmod download site (get.cm) has the latest nightly compatible with our phones, listed as "d2vzw" so download from there, and flash as they update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Thanks for the heads up! :D And Yes, I updated last night over the CM Updater, and it removed my data from my device, I flashed back to my back up in CWM and everything was restored, it literally scared me because I just bought a new Phone Card last night, and I was afraid I might lose it. Lol. xD But thanks, and have you tested this new update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_man:
I flashed CM 11 last night after factory restore wiping all cache and delvik. Installed gapps but had trouble with gapps crashing so cleared all cache and did a factory restore but after restoring now I don't have a wireless connection and my phone number doesn't show up in my phone information. I restored all user apps and system data with TB but still no data or even phone connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Check to make sure you installed the correct version. The ROM must be for a Verizon phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_man:
Yea I double checked and I definitely had the correct ROM. Ended up having to unbrick using the terminal to get my service back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Ah, well as long as you have service back, that's good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
So, have you tested the rom, or played with Seth? o.o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
What ROM? I'm currently running a CM 11 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
.-. The latest nightly, do you have data, etc.? o.o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
The latest d2vzw nightly, yes. The d2lte nightly, no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
data

In the mobile settings check NV than back out and toggle airplane mode and data should pick up.

I have yet to figure out how to get data working on some roms ... Like liquid smooth and PAC. Anyone else figure this out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
I've only ever ran CM and CarbonRom. Couldn't get data in carbon either, no matter what I toggled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Anyone else having problems with MMS on CM 11 Nightly 2/17/14? Mine isn't working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Yeah, mine isn't working, I've mentioned it before. I think it's a problem with the APN settings, but I can't seem to find anyway to edit them. No apps work, there's no file to edit, the settings app crashes when I try to edit them there, so...I don't know what's going on. Thankfully I don't send or receive many MMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Yeah, me too! But, I was going to use it for once today! And suddenly Hangouts didn't send it. D: Well, hopefully in the future it will be solved. Someone needs to make a official CM 11 Rom just for our device that has everything working on it. xD I am hoping to find a compatible 4.4.2 touchwiz rom, I love touchwiz and Kitkat, and I think it would be perfect. c:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mookie2014:
FYI... Got the phone back from Mobile Tech Video and they were able to unhard brick it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
That's good news! Lol.. Can you send me their contact info? How much was the cost and what's the turn around?

Got a quick question.. Anyone try the TW based custom ROMs and did it have working data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mookie2014:
Contact is http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com

Cost is $50

Turn around is about a week,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
I would love to find a 4.3 or 4.4.2 Touchwiz Rom for our devices. :/ I found Samsung Stock 1.0, but I have no idea what a locked/unlocked bootloader is and I am not taking risks flashing it if I don't know what that factor it. Anyone here found a compatible TW Rom? :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Thought I'd let everyone know that I've been testing the d2lte nightlies on my device. So far, the most recent one labeled for the 27th doesn't have data on our devices. I'll post again once I find a nightly that works, or figure how to get it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Thanks Seth! :D Maybe we could ask some devs to help? :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Maybe. I'm not too worried though. Maybe we'll get a stable release later on in development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
d2lte

Which nightly are you referring to? I flashed all the aosp ROMs I could find also the working ones I have found are CM, AOKP, AICP and Slimbean. So you got a few to choose from. Just check nv in mobile networks and toggle airplane mode for data. Ad for kernals the only one I have been able to get data on or to boot is quantum. I have yet to try a TW ROM also.

Also.. Does anyone know how I could take the stock TW backup and make a flashable zip for us to have for whatever reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oicunow36:
rooting

you can use cmr for metro pcs the s3 its in the list im using this and did a backup and everything is working fine for me just saying...:cool:

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

use the metro pcs version it works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Me too, I have yet to try a TW Rom, but how do you toggle Airplane mode? And I am unsure, I know you can provide the back up files, incase something were to go wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mitchb315:
hi guys wanted to give you an update on how the phone is doing i have sent it out for a jtag if it works Horay! if not I know that everything has been tried

Why are you flashing a kernel for a mms?

its 2 different questions has anyone on the s968c got mms working on kitkat and is xposed causing me kernel issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
Hmm,not sure why you cant use kik or hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
No.. I have yet to figure out how to fix the MMS been sending dropbox links.. SMS fine though. I have had the same issues with the kernals, well, all but quantum kernal.. Which works fine. Cm, AOKP, slim and aicp all work fine with our phone as far as ROMs go. I have yet to try any TW ROM. Anyone find a working one? Mobile data wise?

FANTASTIC NEWS EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!

The CyanogenMod Nightly 11-20140331-NIGHTLY-d2lte is COMPLETELY compatible with our Straight Talk - Verizon SCH-S968C!

As you may remember I've been testing the nightlies that appear in the CyanogenMod updater software installed on our phones. Recently, it seems that the d2vzw builds have been merged into the d2lte builds. This is GREAT news for custom ROM runners, however, has been a problem for our very specified devices.

The recent d2lte build, dated for today, March 31st, fixes EVERYTHING that was wrong with the previous CM 11 builds. Reading through the change logs I've noticed that one listed item was "Added more Verizon APNs" so, feeling optimistic I decided to download and flash this nightly, to see if it had mobile data, as the other d2lte builds did not. Surprise surprise! EVERYTHING works! Mobile data, MMS, EVERYTHING!

I HIGHLY recommend updating to this nightly! There may be some bugs in the transition, which I'm trying to see how to fix. It's a little laggy, but I think that's cause I dirty flashed it over my old ROM, but everything seems to work. Make sure you clear your dalvik/cache, I had to remove my Google account, and re-add it to get my market to work, I also re-flashed my gapps package, but that may not be necessary, it's just what I did.

I've also found an app on the market called CyanDelta (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta) which promises to make updating nightlies a LOT easier. Instead of having to download the entire ROM package, it downloads a small delta zip file that can be dirty flashed over your existing ROM to update it. The setup is fairly easy, and the app has a wide range of settings for when to download, and flash the file, to make it easy. I HIGHLY recommend downloading this app as well, as it will most likely help tremendously with keeping up-to-date.

Again, the latest d2lte Nightly WORKS! Enjoy! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:

kernel

hey what kernel is good on cm11 and how exactly did you iinstall it incase im missing something seth/anybody?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
Im not sure which kernel as thats up to you but you just flash a kernel in recovery to install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thuggn16315:
well I meant a recommended one also after installing cm 11 I have no apn's what did you guys use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
You won't see any APNs, it's automatic. You have to set the mobile settings to nv, check your roaming to automatic, then toggle airplane mode.

As for kernels, I've BEEN using lean kernel, but I had some problems installing it on my updated nightly, so I'm checking for an update now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thuggn16315:
I did all that 3g was working and I could make calls but using the regular messaging app it said no apn specified and in hangouts it said sent but never came through same thing on all the other 4.4.2 roms ive used so I don't know whats wrong my gapps wouldn't affect it? also I re factory wiped wiped cache and dalvik and reinstalled still didn't work but my phone does a funny boot up it reboots once then boots weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Make sure you wipe your system as well. You don't have to wipe your data, I didn't, and it worked. Just make sure you're system is clean before you flash the nightly.

I use Go SMS Pro for my texting, and it works. Though, I DO get the "No APN Specified" toast notification, the MMS goes through, and I recieve them as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thuggn16315:
have you tried the stock app or is go sms pro fixing the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
Hmm...it seems like Go SMS Pro is fixing it. My stock Messaging app gives me the red triangle, and a "Could Not Send" error. Don't know what Go SMS Pro is doing, but I know it's going through as an actual MMS, and not as some sort of instant message through a data connection, as MMS messages show up in my stock Messaging app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thuggn16315:
I used to be interested in flashing 4g lte phones to straight talk and did a lot of research people that couldn't send mms would use go sms pro wonder if it send's through data??? got me thinking though ive tried a lot of cool kitkat roms gummy/slim/etc... and only thing that wasn't working was mms mabey go sms pro is the answer!!! cause if im gonna use it I might as well use a rom with overclocking built in that isn't laggy like this nightly lol hopefully a stable release is coming soon

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

edit didn't see your data comment wonder what its doing then???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
If you're lagging, maybe you should check how you installed. I wouldn't recommend a dirty flash of this rom, you can keep your data, but make sure you wipe your system before you flash.

Also, I was running Go SMS Pro on the previous d2vzw build, and it wouldn't send MMS. Don't know what's different with this one, I've checked through the settings, didn't have anything in the custom APN fields. I just disabled my stock Messaging app, and told Go SMS Pro to handle it all, so I wouldn't get those failure, and "No APN Specified" error notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thuggn16315:
mms apn

do you have a apn set in that actual app??

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

well at least I know that apps the key
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Hey guys! So I installed the April 02, 2014 Nightly, and everything works, but MMS is not working in Hangouts and Stock. It works in 3rd Party apps tho. Just make sure to clear the system as suggested by Seth! :) It is very fast and it has a lot of improvements, I did notice my data speeds are much better and I have no idea why! xD But, it loads very snappy. :)

whats a good kernel for cm 11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
You should try franco kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
kernel

Hey root wizard, does this kernel work with the s3? I'm using the straight talk s3 which is very close to the d2vzw and have had a hard time finding a working aosp kernel. Quantum works real well. Do you have a link to the Franco kernel? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
Sorry i have no link, but i heard its good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
OK thanks.. I will see if I can track it down.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

While I'm thinking about it. Thought I would list some of the working ROMs and such I have used for our ST S3.

CyanogenMod

AOKP

Slim

AICP

OSE

As far as Kernels go I have only had luck with Quantum and BMS

Others no data, won't boot and just made my phone act up.

Recoveries

CM and Philz. When I tried to flash TWRP well thought I lost my phone. Shame to.. I really like twrp and not sure why it didn't work when other recoveries do.

** all d2vzw ROMs work the ones listed above are the ones I was able to use with working mobile data.

I have yet to try any touchwiz ROMs.. So if anyone used one of the custom TW ROMs please let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] derrek22:
Can I change the boot animation or will it mess up my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sethfoxen:
You should be able to. I didn't test it, so don't take my word for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
Ya but not on stock rom im pretty sure. CM supports it though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dat_Guy:
i do want to let you know that the CDMA-V version of the galaxy s3 is 3G only. Verizon MVNO's do not support faster speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
*** just wanted to add Liquid smooth JB builds to this list. Still no dice on the LS KK builds as far as mobile data is concerned.

*** Lean Kernel also works well with this phone. Right now I'm using AOKP jb mr2 milestone1, lean kernel mr2 8.6 along with killjoy.. Thing is so smoooothhh... Those of you who like to tinker with things.. OSE ROM is a blast. I still have yet to download any of the TW ROMs to try with our phone.. Got some time this evening I may download a few and try and see if they have working mobile data with our straight talk s3. Has anyone got TWRP to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] whaevr:
Thats what I like to see! Looks like this nightly d2lte build isn't overwriting the model number to "SCH-I535" like the d2vzw build was earlier in this thread.

Can you guys be a little more specific though for the rest of us? I have mine rooted and from what I gathered from all this reading is that I don't need to unlock a bootloader....correct? Meaning then once I root my phone I can skip right to installing clockwork recovery right? Then from there after some careful backups rom city??

I haven't seen anyone mention it explicitly here or anywhere for that matter a process, and aaaaallllll the tutorials I've tried following for the s3 from verizon (because thats what googling will lead you to try for this phone!) I've come into problems someway or another. I'll

gladly

ask the stupid questions for the majority of people googling going crazy like I was; so they don't end up bricking a phone like I did, and hopefully they actually get answered here lol

What exactly does this entail?

Thanks for all the effort and testing going into this by the way! I'd honestly just go ahead and try but I ended up with a brick once so now I'm trying my hand at patience and asking for clarification :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruiner8850:
Asking Questions

Sorry, but it says that in order to ask a question about a certain ROM I need to first have 10 posts. I haven't had any questions in 2 years, so I guess I need to make fake posts. Once again, sorry, but this isn't my rule.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
Any info on the latest nightlies of CM11? I am still searching for a touchwiz ROM. Anyone here try SamStock 1.0? I kinda miss my touchwiz ui and applications. :(

I did buy a few apps to help bring out some of the new TouchWiz UI from the Samsung Galaxy S5, and here is my result. Does it fool you? Lol. XD If you would like to know the apps, let me know! :D

I sure hope the new d2lte asop unified builds work with our phone. I will be heartbroken if the new AOKP won't run like the old d2vzw.

Correct do not unlock. I'm in the same boat wrt taking my time. I hard bricked mine the first time when I attempted to unlock. I've got it back to rooted with custom recovery but haven't pulled the trigger on the ROM yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fokkusu:
I do dislike the unified builds, it isn't specific enough for me. Um, so, since we should not unlock, what do you recommend we do about wanting to use roms that require unlocking status? :o I really wanted to try Samstock. D:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
Well if your rooted and have CM than by all means flash a ROM! :) if its the sch s986c than all d2 and the new unifieds work. No worries.
