[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Hey all, my phone has been freezing lately needing a battery pull to get it running again and hanging at times. It doesn't do it often but I feel it does it too much. Now, here's my question, I wanna do a clean install of 2-17 and I wanna know if there is any benefit really of going back to stock 4.1.2 via Odin and doing the whole root, recovery, unlock booty over again or just wipe every via the advanced tab in TWRP, then reinstall 2-17 is good enough? I just think I have a few too many gremlins now:cool: Lol. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I thought you had the 4.3 ota pushed to your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Never hurts to go all the way back now and then. We do it. That being said a full clean wipe should get everything. I wipe dalvik, cache , data and system at least twice. If never wiped internal sd I would do that also so that new 4.3 file system is built correctly. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
No need for that. Move anything important to extsd and flash this.?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/obb61egk2pvhkgu/Wipe_Full_Factory_Reset_SGS3.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That works also. How many times it wipe. We have run zips like that since the TBolt and do a good job but should be multi wipe. In beta testing we have found that multiple wipes do eliminate flash problems regardless of what others say. Lot depends on device and recovery but can never hurt to wipe till it squeaks. Charmin Ultra preferred. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, that's what I thought. Just wanted to see if there was any supreme benefit to Odin, reroot, etc. Honestly, the thought of doing that again pains me because I was an a$$ and didn't unlock the booty after root, never had to with my D3 or Strat. When the screen came up saying the phone was locked, go to Verizon or whatever, you never saw a grown man so scared. LMFAO :D :)

No sir, not I. Do you normally wish such harsh things upon your friends and colleagues? :sly: :eek: :D. While we are on this subject though, has anyone unlocked the booty of Knox or no? Ik you can use Safestrap from Hash after root now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No . And won't be unless someone comes up with hash to change address to another Q-Fuse. There are several so that Samsung can update the bootloader. Once blown they are blown for good. At least this is my understanding. Knox is just a security/warranty flag system. Has nothing to do with locked bootloader. Bootloader is Qualcom. Same way they did on old Motos. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Charmin Ultra? Be a real man and use something closer to sandpaper on your A$$ :eek::o:p:cool: LMFAO. First dudes are talking about FLUSHING and now we are talking about TP... Oh the agony :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
HaHaa. We moved on from the outhouse and Sears catalog. Last outhouse I built was in the mid-80s.:rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Lmfao

I see. I thought it was one in the same. Good old Qualcomm, back in 2000 that was my first VZW phone make. Guess it was smart of them to stop making phones and just play with cell phone innards :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
My routine includes wipe data /factory reset. Wipe cache and dalvik / run the script (the posted zip) and the wipe data factory reset one more time. It may be redundant but I've never had gremlins in my basement ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yup. Multiple wipes have always nuked my Gremlins. Never have a bad flash. If I have a bug it is the code and not on my end. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok, I KNEW this would be my luck after initially having issues adding the flashlight toggle and having to use Sqlite, tried the Bandits Hybrid theme after wiping everything and doing a fresh install of 2-17 and the theme is there but no added toggles.

Now, before all this, I had the blue themed expanded toggles that I flashed over the blue MAR mod that I manually added the flashlight to. After wiping all and flashing 2-17, I followed the instructions to select the stock UI in Aroma and finished up Aroma install. I then booted up at least once and then I went to install the Bandits Hybrid zip & the widget fix zip. Phone booted, I hit reset & nothing. I installed a few times and nothing. I rebooted numerous times and nothing.

Should I try the add toggle zip? Why is it that my phone, even after a clean install STILL has these add toggle issues? :banghead::( As always, thanks a bunch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Which version of theme did you flash. If did the blue did you flash the toggle zip also. What is the widget fix zip. Flash order is critical. :cool:

Edit: If using Blue version of theme need to flash blue toggle zip in 2nd post. Blue version hasn't been updated to incorporate toggles yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Okay, I flashed the two zips in the OP here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2626880 one of which is signal bar and alarm clock widget fix. Now, am I supposed to flash your bandit ML1 4.3 exp tog mod stock zip and then do the bandit hybrid theme? I thought I just had to select stock system UI in Aroma to avoid losing battery icon and after a full boot I could flash bandit hybrid. Lmk. Thanks again. ?

Update: Just dirty flashed to remove hybrid theme, I then booted up at least once, went to recovery to install Stock ml1 4.3 exp toggle mod, then hybrid theme & last the widget fix zip. Again theme is present but no toggles added. Ask me why I wanted to do a full clean install again? :thumbdown::banghead: Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Are you going into the toggle editor and tapping reset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ruffroc02:
I don't know if this was reported yet but when activating voice control in the camera, it causes a force close of the camera app. Can this be fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Also flash theme first and then toggle mod. You are overwriting the mod.

Come on, Bro, can you give me SOME credit here?

:p Lol. Yes, hitting reset more times than I'd like to admit. :D

Okay, will try that now. I was under the impression the toggles were added with the hybrid theme. Excuse the brain fart :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Well, you know, after doing it 100 times I figured you were bound to forget at least once. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I LOVE it. Maybe we open a comedy club next, yes? We've all got jokes. Lmao. Okay, Got it to work. Sorry, I thought the Hybrid theme zip did everything and that's what confused me. Thanks, [MENTION=1576392]prdog[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] for putting up with me :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The blue theme is separate. The white theme is single flash. :cool:

Voice control in camera app requires S-voice. You can either reinstall and select to install S-Voice or flash this in recovery.

Sure is boring here. Nobody's complaining about anything. Got so bored, I Odin'd MF1, Casual'd back Unlock, Root and TWRP then reinstalled Old and Slow and Boring. Now the ROM is so flawless and trouble free it's more boring. Nice to have all the remnants and gremlins cleared out but that adds to the boredom too. Just look at all the fun they are having on Alliance thread. Guess I'm not that bored.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
OK.just flashed rt his theme over old and slows http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169820

[Theme][6.12.13][UNIVERSAL] Circuitry aka PCB for TouchWiz

Worked without a hitch!

Just sharing and please no offense.

(^.^)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Looks sweet. Can I ask one thing though? Why does it seem that EVERY mod or theme is dark as hell with blue or red overtones? From all the wicked sensations to the bandit hybrids to the PCB and on. Personally, **** annoys me being so dark. Bugs out my damn 35yr old eyes. Lmao. Sorry, had to vent :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
Personally I like the darker theming. Maybe better on these 58 year old eyes.?im just very surprised that this theme worked! Lol.

S3 ML1 4.3 4x4 Launcher with Scroll Speed Hack does what exactly? [MENTION=1576392]prdog[/MENTION] the credit goes to you for the hack, if you don't mind elaborating or whomever wants to inform moi. Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It increases the speed of the page flip. There is also a white version of the hybrid theme. There is no blue in it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, I noticed that. Got dizzy after I decided to just try it, fell on my head and now I'm in the ER ;) Lmao. Thanks for the 411. Thought it might add window's too, as I saw similar posts about speed hacks adding 2 window's giving us 9. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
VRThemes will work as long as there are no mods done to systemUI, framework or xmls. Also many of the themes dont theme xml, values or smali. So some things don't get themed.

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

I could have done that also. The page # mod is in same place as the speed hack. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I'll look again for it. Got this zip from page 1 post 3 in this thread though and it's not there, DAMN LIAR :eek: Lmao. Forgive me, I'm punch drunk. Idk why I'm up at 5 am :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If can decompile the hacks are in SecLauncher2.apk/res/values/integers. The white version of our theme is in post 2 of the theme thread. Tell me which launcher and I can make it whatever page count you want.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Decompile? Sorry, I'm good but don't understand. :( lol. You mean like use SqLite or a root browser? Go to that file path and change 7 to 9 or however many pages I want? 9 is cool with me. TW 4X4 LAUNCHER with your speed hack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Here is 4x4 with 9 page default. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Okay, I see. I was barking up the wrong tree. Had to make a apk, not manipulate the system files. Replace Sec launcher with this and change perms to rwrr or just install it? Reboot needed? Thanks for helping the semi-noob ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Will have to manually replace and set perms or swap it out in the other zip to make flashable. I always reboot if do manually. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks again. Trying it now :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

Idk my widgets would all disappear after this :'( Lol. No worries. I'm just ocd about where my widgets sit. I actually screenie every page of my phone to duplicate it after a reset rom install etc. Lol. Ik, I need help :confused: Thanks again. Got 99 problems but 9 windows ain't one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If have a nandroid backup can restore data only and will put everything back where you had it. Not sure if works with widgets. Will put app icons back. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
No, I just use TWRP for backups and I didn't back up this setup yet, backed up older ones only. Np though, beggars can't be choosers. Thanks AGAIN :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. Not sure if it will replace widgets put will put all app icons back where they were. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Oddly enough all apps on screens stayed, just widgets disappeared except for one, a noobz accuweather widget mod. Idk :sly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Think the same thing happens when restore from backup. They used to either not show up or didn't work and had to replace them. It at least saves the spot for them and takes less time to rebuild. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
All good. Got so much room to roam now and lots more space for stuffs. It's like I moved from a studio apt in NYC to a plantation in Georgia. They probably cost the same though :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Try the white version of theme. We took all the blue out. It is in post 2. Toggles are included so it is single flash. Can flash over the blue one if it is already installed. :p:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I tried the hybrid blue and it was too dark to me in certain areas, contacts, calculator, and something else, I forget, was bugging my eyes out a bit. Lol. The white I tried in the Team Bandit Exp toggle mod and that was too bright allover. Lol. I've got a blue Andy multi-window, bandit blue toggle mod w Blue MOAR, 9 pages and I'm happy :) I remember now, the battery icon was not to my liking and the making the % batt font larger wasn't either.

Anywho, the White Hybrid theme any diff with the batt%, icon, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It is same but white. Calculator, contacts % all the same. I can't see the % at stock size and don't use battery icon :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
[MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] I saw you guys talking about hacking the launcher a couple hours ago, so, if you don't mind me asking, would you happen to know where one could look to be able to move the all apps icon into the middle instead of all the way on the right? Hopefully you're not gonna say smali... Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
I use Nova Launcher and it has its own backup. it will reinstall widgets too. Creates a black block with a "click to restore" caption.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Maybe soon a blue and/or white MOAR battery style mod to hybrid theme in the future? :D Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Can actually flash any of the old 1% battery mods now. I added the OG 1 % battery mod to toggle zip. I need to check the blue version and see if it is updated. You can also flash the blue toggles over the White theme to mix and match.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I see. I thought there were varying issues with using the toggle mods with the hybrid theme, O&S and others mention the battery disappearing. That's cool though, I'll toy with it. I just need to dirty flash to select system ui so I don't lose my batt icon :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Will lose the icon till I make or grab a full 1% set of Moar batteries. The white has the mod for 1%. Not sure about the blue. Can't check till I get home from work tonight.

Ok, Not sure what happened... I had some free time this morning and wanted to clean up my phone a bit and do a clean install. I had already been running this ROM. It appears the my system is not mounting after my clean up. I'm using TWRP recovery. I am unable to wipe Dalvic getting the following error:

E:failed to wipe dalvic

Updating partition details.

The only time my phone will boot is the initial boot after an install. Will not reboot or boot after a shutdown.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
In TWRP, what happens when you do a factory reset then wipe system? Factory reset wipes data, cache, and dalvik all at once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zrx12mike:
Factory reset only works if I format data first, then it will complete.

Update. Factory reset worked that time with out formatting data first. I was also able to watch the ROM build the system, I selected reboot now and I am unable to get it to boot now. Only recovery mode or download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Which version of TWRP are you using? I feel like I've seen this issue before but I'm uncertain if it was resolved without Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zrx12mike:
2.5.0.0, I'm not against using ODIN, just haven't the files I need. I have downloaded Odin 3.09.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Hey all my peeps, figured I'd just post this here because you guys pop up on every other GS3 VZW thread on here anyway. Ok, my wife's GS3 I had to take the update via Kies and from Sammy. Idk if that makes a diff or not but she has had nothing but problems since the 4.3 update. Now, I went to reset her phone and the reset in phone doesn't really reset everything, it just resets some things, so without tripping Fort Knox how do i do a full reset? Thanks a billion. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
You can get the MF1.tar here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2435277
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zrx12mike:
Downloading now. I was looking for ML1, I guess that's why I wasn't finding anything. thanks. I have just installed TWRP 2.6.3, so I am going to wipe everything first and try another install of this ROM. IF that doesn't work then I will try ODIN.

Just so I am clear... I was thinking we couldn't go back to 4.1.2 from 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Try rebooting to stock recovery and wiping caches and see if it doesn't clear some of the problems up. Been a while since I've navigated through stock recovery but pretty sure those options are still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks, O&S. So freaking annoying. Idk why I just don't update the phone our way ;) I'm not gonna ask her anymore, I'm just gonna do it while she sleeps :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
If you've been running my rom then you are not updated to 4.3. This is just a custom rom based off of the ML1 update. It only contains system and boot images from the update. It is just like running any other custom rom.

I'm glad you didn't find the ML1.tar that you were looking for. That would have locked your phone down for good bad. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Should be on TWRP 2.3.6.1. It is only version with full 4.3 support. Can Odin back to any version as long as didn't take the OTA or Odin 4.3 image. Can also flash back to prior roms and only change modem if signal is bad. :cool:

Computer won't recognize phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
You mean you're connected via USB and Windows Explorer doesn't show your phone? Assuming that is the problem and the Samsung USB drivers are installed:

They are aren't they?

Does USB connected show in Notifications?

If not, sounds like a driver problem or could be flaky or "charge only" cable. I use only the Samsung cable that came with my phone plugged into a back panel motherboard USB port.

Are you connected as Installer?

If so, open the Notification and click on MTP and wait a few seconds.

what is everyone running

stock kernel or lean or toon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Stock...but I'm biased. :D

But seriously, they're all good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I'm a lean (mean) kernel machine over here ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gt5oh:
thats what I went with as well.. .whats your opinion on it vs stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Tbh, I never used anything but Lean really. I basically use my phone with a few mods on it, nothing crazy and no renaming daemons, etc either & I get about 13 hrs of battery life. Phone runs smooth too. I have the Blue MOAR theme with the extended toggle mod, jlyles multi-window mod, the scroll speed hack, Note 2 My Files, NOTE 3 white keyboard w Emojis and 9 windows. Most of these mods are in page 1 post #3 here. I see guys getting DAYS of batt life with Lean Kernel but you need to toy with system files and stuff, like renaming the daemon. I also use lots of widgets, email sync'd every hr and I have Twitter, IG, FB, etc running and sync'd too. If you don't like Lean, wipe caches and dirty flash any of the other kernels w/o issue. Good luck :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Pretty sure you are correct on location. Haven't run across it looking at regular files. may not be. Never looked that hard for that one yet. Could be in layout xml somewhere. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
I just wanna post this here....still using LeanKernel 4 beta along with the V6 Supercharger MOD and a year-old, stock battery! Love it!!!! Oh...and I am not undervolting either! Only other thing that's different for me...I froze a TON of crap and also made sure all my apk's are zipaligned!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
I don't blame you one bit. :good: But rest assured, I would never push anything that involved a "point of no return" like a locked bootloader.

One thing I'm really liking in this 4.3 TW ROM is that Google Voice FINALLY displays and plays voicemails in the dialer history. :good:

EDIT:

On a side note, does XPosed with the Wanam plugin negatively affect battery life or device speed? I'm interested to try it, but it's not worth it to me if it drains the battery faster.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] howellcp:
So, I've read through and see that many people said the messenger widgets not showing name. How was that fixed? I can't find the setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
I have the stock ota and haven't noticed a change after adding xposed/wanam. The only difference is that it seeing battery go down one percent at a time can give the impression of faster drain. Still got 3 hours screen and 14 hrs total which is normal for me
