Just wanted to warn anyone avoid Microsoft Latest updates if running Windows 7. So far over half a dozen updates have cause my system to lock up trying to copy files from or to my phone. I have just said screw it Microsoft has gotten horrible for testing there updates. I have foundbotched update alerts all over the internet.

After tracking down to at least 6 bad updates I have given up all these security updates are total crap and I end up just hiding all updates to today.

HOW the HELL do I get an animated weather lock screen? I have tried Fancy Widgets! Beautiful Widgets! Animated Weather! None of them will work! I have asked this question several times but have not gotten a response is that because something is broken with this ROM or Android version that animated lock screen widgets are broken? If so let me know so I quit spending HOURS trying to get something to work that does not appear that it work! I understand that some features maybe broken running a custom ROM but I would like to at least know it does not work than me spending hours trying to make something does not work.

I already learned to ignore all air gestures and smart features as they do not work. Smart Stay does not work probably a broken feature of Samsung. Even if I remove my glasses it can not tell I am looking at it.

Is there any mods that will work for animated weather that I can flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I know the Mod you are referring to. It is not compatible with 4.3 . You can try THIS. You can also check out another Mod HERE that will accomplish what you want. IE more internal Storage freed up.

Damn.. finally found a damn answer! Seems Android 4.3 SUCKS!!! Damn Google removed in SG3 the option for Weather on lock screen! Can not seem to find a MOD anywhere! I really consider going back to MOAR 6 where I can see my weather at a glance on my phone! Removing the best damn feature of a phone when upgrading.. what CRAP!

Can not find a damn MOD anywhere that I can just flash to get back Weather!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Super Dave426:
Just in case someone didn't see this elsewhere Microsoft Office is now free for mobile phones, of course if you can grab the apk you can side load it onto a tablet. Again just an FYI, nothing to do with MOAR but sharing the information. It is complete and very nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Android 4.3 lockscreen is limited.

(This has NOTHING to do with MOAR ROM, it is the version of Android)

You have two choices:

1. Use a different version of Android

2. Find a third party lockscreen app that completely replaces the lockscreen like Go Locker.

If you have further concerns you would like to voice concerning this version of Android, I suggest you contact Google. :rolleyes:

Before I come back in here and start cleaning posts. I am giving fair warning to all who are in here to remember a couple things.

1 - this is a development site. Use it to learn how to do things yourself, no one here owes any body anything. So, with that said, if I have to come back in here due to members acting entitled or self righteous, infractions will be issued. Consider this your last warning.

2 - every one in here agreed to abide by the well known and long established posting rules. So, if you are rude, disrespectful and/or are not using search, you are breaking those rules, and that is why there are moderators.

In short, be nice, use XDA to learn, as this is NOT a support site.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Not a RANT I see it several times a month as I do support Dell Servers. I just had a call today SBS 2011 stuck in startup repair loop it was a security update. Walked the Dell customer in going back to known good configuration.

The plain fact was Microsoft was releasing security patches too many too fast before problems with them were found.

Latest botched updates

The plain truth is if the updates are older than 2014 and you have not updated in a while better off hiding them updates. There is a ton of references and Microsoft has supposedly learned there lesson and slowing down security updates and spending more time on testing them before release. Which I hope is true so for now I hid all the past 37 updates as they locked up system whenever I tried to access cell phone.

From this URL http://news.softpedia.com/newsTag/botched+update seems only a single update since Dec that is causing issues so if going by that Microsoft is paying better attention and doing better testing. Previous year 5 updates in November and 8 in October which really showed the quality control for updates was not there last year. The problem is Microsoft is not pulling most of these updates that caused problems they really should just pull the last quarter of last year and do proper new security updates. Server Administrators only update usually about 2-3 months and than only a small batch until they have tested before doing anymore but when it stops server from booting it really can cause serious issues.

So warning is pointed to those that do not let automatic updates update every day and do it manually I would recommend avoiding the updates from Aug to Dec of last year and you will most likely be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djconundrum:
I do that, but it takes so much time every time I flash the rom, to fix a tweak or exposed module and return to Moar stock without redoing it from scratch which I do currently. Love all the options but I know the rom runs awesome until I go nuts with the choices and it lags. So it would be nice to have a minimal rom with aroma dealing with the embedded tweaks and mods. So removing them also does not leave setting options that can't be removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
Thanks I will try the Go Locker.. Yeah I finally got animation to partially work it would not work on the lock screen itself only after unlocking. So I will try that Go Locker or that and see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

I figured it had nothing to do with MOAR but the Android Kernel 4.3.1 which for some dumb reason Google removed animated weather from the default. The Noobz with the MOAR control is suppose to have it but it mentions weather widget has to be added to the locks screen but I could not find a noobz widget except the clock one which did not seem to do anything.

Hard to say. If someone is running a different rom, maybe they can try it also to see if it's a broken feature in 4.3.

Edit: Maybe looks like its a feature that just hasn't been implemented in 4.3. A quick search showed the Tmobile SIII variant having the same issue.

Hey guys I'm on MD4 radio right now w/ Liquid Smooth ROM. I wanted to give MOAR a go w/ MK3 or MK5. Is there really much difference between these 2 basebands? I've been having crummy call quality, data speeds, and battery life. I'm hoping maybe MOAR + MK3/5 will help address these issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
MK3 or MK5 modem? Flash the ROM and MK3 modem. Or, pick either one and try it. Then, if you want, try the other one. (?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcc23:
Well, I just got finished reading that installing MK3 installs the Knox bootloader lock? Is this correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
No.

Edit: Keep reading. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No, because you would only be flashing the MK3

Installing the MK3 full tar, or the MK3 ota WILL give you the knox bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mcc23:
Ohh, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] andee39:
It's really user preferance and location. I always got so so signal strength with MK3. I saw an immediate improvement with MK5. I was previously getting 2ish bars at the back of my house. Now I usually get 3-4 bars, sometimes even more. Again though that is just my situation. Give it a shot and see how they both work for you! :D

THEMES???

I woud like to make my S3 look very special and unique, but all the themes I'm looking at online are only for CM roms. I tried the themology but none of those make the phone look different? Any suggestions? Any screenshots of what your phone is looking like?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
There are two themes I know for certain work with the rom, The Elegant White Theme and the BobCat Universal theme that are both located in Themes and App thread. Backup first of course.

I flashed it. It looks nice, but the app icons in the drawer are still the same as everyone's S3. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for all your help Bilgerryan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
You're not the first to recommend EFS backup so I did mine early on. I know the recoveries will do this but it was difficult to find the backup so I searched around a little and found this thread where the app is pretty simple to use and the backup can be saved to internal or external SD (and then copied off to pc for safe keeping):

Edit:

Links removed. This option didn't work with our SIII variant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
App icons are built into the apps themselves. However, you can use a launcher that supports themes to get a completely different look.

The screenshot is Next Launcher. You can download icon packs as well but I've never used one so don't know what to recommend for those.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I've given [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] the OK to use the Project X Launcher/Wallpaper Picker in the next update if he chooses... It supports Icon Packs. Nova and Apex do as well, themes usually only change a couple of the system app icons since any ones that could be updated through the Play Store will lose their theming after being updated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
Also look at Unicon with Xposed. It used to be called Icon Themer I think.

This thread has been cleaned. No more petty arguing, and search before posting is rule #1. I suggest revisiting the forum rules for all involved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Alright, deleted the links. It appears that the tool, while a valid tool is backing up the wrong block for our efs. I left some input for the developer. Perhaps he will add our device as a separate download. Block (partition) 11 is where our efs partition resides apparently. I've attached a screenshot using EFS Professional.

I backed up and now the filesize of the backup tar file is the expected 10+ mb in size so I believe that is going to be the winner.

Here is the thread I used as a guide:

I'm a little unsure about the whole Philz thing for EFS.

Yes, Philz recovery does also backup EFS but I'm just not certain of the whole process from beginning to end, there just isn't much documentation. The backup gets pretty buried so it's difficult to find to copy it off to pc for safekeeping. It has to be done manually, I'm not even sure if I'm doing it correctly and then if I didn't what happens if I really need it someday and can't find or restore the backup? (I've seen some sad posts here and there)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
Gotcha [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]. I saw your post on the philZ thread so I knew you'd looked into it. I've lost IMEI with my G2 and gotten it back twice using a zip you flash that creates a backup and restores with a zip. I KNOW that works, but for the S3 I thought the philZ thing was golden. There's also the Andromizer app (but the files look too small) and the NV Backup tool that peoplearmy did (was that the one you were referencing above that you took down?).

There wouldn't be thousands of downloads of every subsequent version of a ROM if it weren't stable and reliable (?). If you want to read the OP you can see what features are in this ROM also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
This ROM is very reliable. Still, one of the best things you can do is to make a backup of this ROM as soon as you flash it for her. Then show her the basics of the recovery and how to restore the backup. The ROM runs great but that doesn't mean she won't mess a setting up or download an app that could mess her phone up. It happens.
