Glad to see someone new. So virtually nandroid and twrp backups are the same thing. Now knowing that your new I would like to say that if you have a more complicated question following this or any kind of question for that matter, research before posting. This will help you in the long run on xda.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ruffain:
Thanks I did a little research I was just confused before research I thought they are different after research confused now I know they are same but yea thanks for the time and advice

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Yyeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You so much to everyone involved!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caveritt:
Awesome. Thank you so much!

Will we be asked upon every reboot if we want to fix root or just upon the first reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mmikeee:
thank you!! downloading the huge file and will flash right away hahha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Bam! Just like that here it is, thanks so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daimerion:
Downloading :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Nice!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Awesome! Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brickbeats:
i think i'm going to try this as my rom has no root or wifi....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
First boot will ask about fixing recovery. Subsequent reboots will ask to fix root. Always "just say no"....lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
Rock and roll!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Thank you! Couldn't have done it without you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisdroidx2:
I read the warning about not flashing the firmware. I did update the modem/ baseband already. Only the modem though. Am I still safe to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yes. Your safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n2locarz:
Thanks for this guys! It's my late Christmas gift. I have been waiting for TW 4.3 and held when the stock was released. It didn't take long! I bet those guys that went with the OTA are wishing they would have waited a few more days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Need that modem or your 4G is gonna suck. The RIL don't match 4.1.2 Modems. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Much wait,

Such rom,

Flash now,

Wow.

Lol just a little excited to finally see this.

Thanks to all involved
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Cant get WiFi to turn on! The toggle goes right back to off when I press it in any setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisdroidx2:
Would be safer with a external sd incase you wipe your OS. But I don't have a sim or sd card in mine since I am about to sell it and I flashed it fine with twrp and just doing a factory reset.

I have mistakenly wiped the whole OS before and have to use my otg cable and thumb drive to restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsmart:
honestly confused I am, I'm on currently moar, can I flash this ROM you providing without add-on anything else. but if I'm running cm or kitkat, I need do some extra dirty work....is that affirmative?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
Thanks for this. Not gonna flash this just yet, I'll wait for a few roms to trickle out based off this base. Would like some themes and extra features (flashlight, xposed, maybe a kernel etc.) Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
So pumped right now, I haven't flashed anything in months. Woot wooooot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Can always manually install xposed. Plus any kernel will most likely be flashable on this. Try it out!

And actually, it already has a custom kernel. Check OP. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zelet:
Xposed didn't work for me. No settings that I checked actually stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
Xposed is working for me... did you install the Framework first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edthesped:
After a few hours of playing I have to give a big thumbs up. I haven't had any problems and all seems to run quite smooth. Mucho Gracias to everyone that worked on this project!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caveritt:
Make sure you install the framework then go in and check-on the modules. Reboots are required after changes in wanam.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I can add a confirmation that wanam works quite well. But it won't do anything if you don't have the module active. Also be sure to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShhImSleeping:
I think huge minus is a bit much, especially considering on how much they've improved the toggles, but you could always try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle I haven't messed with it in awhile, but it offers flashlight (says it might need tesla though).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
For those have do not have Text preview on lockscreen ( or the name of person texting ) Open SMS app > settings and make sure Preview message is checked.

Lockscreen widgets might be the best thing about this update :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Dat boot animation.

Havent seen that in a while, too many custom boot animations from custom roms.

For the first time in my life i'm deciding to flash stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
How do we add other lock screen widgets besides the stock clock and personal message? Or are those the only 2 available to use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
can have up to 5 .. Pull down on clock (while in lockscreen) then scroll left or right . Tap add :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kirkwoodlucas:
Can someone post me to the moddem I'm supposed to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I can get to the selectable screens but there is no add buton. Maybe cuz im using PIN lock screen? I wanna use cLock app for weather and time if I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
also must checkbox > Multiple Widgets in lockscreen settings

Ya PIN lock kills the widgets :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
OH FML of course

All good. I just need that theme that PR posted a screenie to and i'll be all set. Would love Quick Reply Messaging but can't have it all I guess. This is a great Rom. Just in time to take crazy pics tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That is the latest and what we are using. GooManager will only download the latest version. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CPngN:
That's exactly the opposite of the experience I had with my VZW S3. GooManager didn't install TWRP or somehow didn't finish the job. ROM Manager installed the latest 2.6.x just fine. Key point before you do either is to unlock the bootloader. Don't believe this nonsense you may read that the other tools can no do it on their own!!!! :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] primetime34:
Hmmm....that's just weird. I guess I can try that out and see how it goes. I wish I didn't have to turn my wifi on and off everytime I want to use my chromecast at the house, but maybe that's what I'll need to do for now. I have unlimited data so that won't be an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Never had a problem with GooManager. Been using since first TWRP Version. Rom Manager ok for making/ restoring backups and installing files. We always had problems flashing roms. I use the recovery best suited for device. TBolt was CWM, Rezound was AMON and S3 is TWRP. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aburgthing:
I gotta say it, 4.3 is one of the craziest updates I've ever done. I've experienced many of the weird notifications and symptoms that many are experiencing. The "unstable wi-fi connection" notice every now and then, the inexplicable battery drain (but only sometimes?), the occasional out of the blue re-boot, the lockscreen freezes, the OS freezes, and today a completely new one I haven't even seen mentioned; a 4% battery left warning when I had just unplugged it from the charger a half hour prior. When I went to check (because I was utterly amazed at it in the first place) there was 94% battery left. Go figure. Yesterday morning when I unplugged the phone from the charger it was noticeably hot and didn't charge at all? I'm sure this is not due to O&S's ROM per se, but a half cooked 4.3 update from Samsung/Verizon. This seems to be the norm from what I've read in various forums re: the 4.3 update. I'm not a complainer and I really wanted 4.3 to work. I religiously follow this thread and watch for solutions for problems that are reported but in all honesty, I think I'm going back to safe territory on 4.1 where there was rock solid stability and so little disadvantage that it the pros far outweigh the cons. Again, please understand I'm not denouncing O&S's ROM which is the base of all the new TW ROMS coming out for the Verizon GS3; I give you the most heartfelt thank you for this, but I am denouncing Samsung for putting out such a buggy update. Singularly these problems are tolerable, but when experienced in total it's just not worth it to stay on this update. Sorry for the negativity but frustration wins the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CPngN:
Honestly that does not sound like an issue with the ROM itself, but perhaps with the LeanKernel which is installed. Especially if you enabled fast charge (`ffc` in a terminal). That could definitely make it hot. But given your other issues, it sounds like you have an app/service/widget which is getting stuck. You should be spending time troubleshooting stray processes with a good task monitor which shows CPU usage and/or battery drain per app. If you use an old battery monitor app, nuke it and try GSam, which can show you how much juice each app or service is using.

How do I back up my textx thru tibu? I have only used it to back up my apps.

Thanks!

I have a ton of junk on my internal SD card. I can just copy everything to my desktop and reformat my internal? That would free up some space? I am running the 12/31 old and slows 4.3 I am trying to get everything ready to flash the 1/14 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MetalMan2:
They are stored under "Messages (SMS & MMS) in the Backup/Restore area of TiBu. If you do a batch restore of everything, your messages may not restore as part of the batch, but you could still restore them separately.

Any way to get torch light working on 4.3 lk and wanam?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I have it working on 4.3 lk. Don't know about Wanam. May have it flashable tonight. I have flashable but have to enable with SQLite editor. We should have fixed in smali tonight to self enable. Otherwise would have to be coded into rom to auto enable. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Can't wait!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
HaHaa. Was just playing with it. Lockscreen torch widget works also. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Oh now ur just rubbing it in! WTF!!!!!!! LOL

Does it have the option to turn it on when the screen is off/locked? Like hold home button or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
:p:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
Having the video issue on YouTube also.

Also when I turn my phone YouTube no longer auto switches to landscape

Even videos on sites like cnn won't play in just get a black box
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
So is it a Torch app or a Flashlight app? I see 2 different names in ur pics

You need flash player. Google Flash for JB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The app is International torch and the code is American Flashlight. Go figure. Actually I just looked and the Lockscreen widget is a second app. Adjustable Torch from the PlayStore. If not pin locked you will be able to access the toggle from the status bar without opening the Lockscreen.

:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doeboy711:
Well I have been running this for a couple of days now. After a long run I've found that it doesn't lag as much and it's pretty stable. It's not the fastest rom that I have ran, but it has good battery life.

Also, I haven't seen my 4G logo appear though since updating it. It always shows 3G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
LOL! Its the frankenstein of Lights! I just want the toggle in the drop down, will it work with the blue theme toggles from Jlyle?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. I'm building a stock , white and blue versions. Full theme will have all options. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Guys,I have downloaded this latest release several times. The md5's appear to be the same to be but comes back as failed because it couldn't be verified. I've never had this issue before. Since the numbers match an I ok to flash?

Assuming you're using TWRP, disable MD5 verification prior to flashing.

Yes. In settings, change to delete only instead of "archive" or "archive & delete"

Welcome to the party, bro. Not the happy, blazing fast Wifi working kinda party, though. More like the depressing, "My Wifi is pretty much so slow it's useless" kind of party.

I haven't found a fix yet, and a long internet search basically revealed that it's an issue with 4.3, with most claiming that it's not carrier or ROM-specific, but that it's something that Samsung actually borked up. Interestingly, though, it doesn't happen with all S3s, even when running the same ROM, kernel, etc. on the same exact Wifi access point. I thought this might mean a third party app was causing the issue, but got the same results in safe mode (which disallows all non-system apps to run at start-up). I'm sort of wondering if it could somehow be related to having AOSP on the phone at one point, then going back to TW, as my son's phone is running this ROM and he gets AMAZING Wifi speeds, and only software difference is that he's never run an AOSP ROM on his phone. Another commonality I saw was that most of the people having issues were connecting to Comcast equipment (router/modem). What type of wireless router are you connecting to? I'm on Comcast Xfinity Gateway/router/VOIP modem.

Sure hope someone can figure out a fix. Luckily, I have unlimited data so don't use Wifi often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjosph:
I can't even use wifi at all it won't even turn on.

I flashed the lean kernel still doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Do a clean install, make sure you are on the latest CWM or TWRP and flash the ML1 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjosph:
I'm using safe strap and I did flash the ml1 kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If you're using Safestrap, you need to flash the VRUCLM1 kernel module zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xceebeex:
Ha sweet, thanks. Such an easy fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjosph:
I did do that. My phone just froze so I did a hard reboot and now the wifi is working weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Cool. Not sure why it wouldn't work with the wifi module installed separately but Safestrap is beta software on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nightinjail:
have you tried to reflash yet? i havent im having the same issue with all my video apps and i have flash player installed i dont understand

why the video function would be broken ?... im assuming no one else is havin this issue lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
Thought I remembered reading something a few pages back about Samsung Video needing to be installed from the pulled bloatware. Or you could just reflash and choose to install those apps this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobson318:
not a fix for the issue but it could be sort of. if you open the dialer and go to setting, voicemail settings, voicemail number. it will say *86 if you add 2 pauses then your 4 digit pin and then # after it, you never have to enter your pin when checking voice mail again. so in the end your new voicemail number will look like *86,,0000# - obviously replace 0000 with your numbers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
I checked my apps a s in the system apps folders it shows I have the Samsung video and a set with the correct permissions and not debloated not froze etc and it shows up nowhere in my apps so I can't even start it....

I went to the removed files extracted it a day added it back to system apps and set the permissions again and same thing still nowhere to be found.... I'm stumped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fhem:
i know myself and other people in my area had problems w/ comcast due to them changing hardware. i fixed mine by updating both my modem and router to items on their approved list. i don't rent from them. i did the same for my daughter and one other person and our problems were solved. no guarantees i'm in pittsburgh. hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
These WiFi issues have me stumped. I don't notice slow speeds, but I do frequently get the "Unstable Connection" error, and I am seeing the battery drain from WiFi due to wakelocks. (wlan_wake and wlan_rx_wake). The most active wakelock seems to vary depending on what access point I'm connected to. However I have found that on both my home network and enterprise network at work, I am seeing these issues. These issues were not in any previous ROMs I have used before 4.3. One thing that was mentioned earlier in this thread is the possibly that coming from an AOSP ROM is causing the issue. This is interesting as I did indeed come from CM11. I would think that a full wipe would remove any trace of AOSP though? I really wish I could find a solution for this as it is the only thing that is a real bother on this ROM, as I rely heavily on WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droider137:
I was getting unstable connection from time to time with lean kernel beta. Once i flashed v4.0 non beta it went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
I have tried the non-beta LK, KT747, and built-in kernel, but I seem to get the wakelocks on all 3. I'm considering using Odin to go back to stock 4.1.2, and re-rooting. I would imagine that would eliminate the possibility of some leftover from AOSP causing the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
could just be the kernels tbh.. I wiped my internalSD card before coming back to TW 4.3. It seems fast and smooth for the first couple days, then starts lagging with jerky transitions, slow rotations..

if it wasn't for the camera I'd be on aosp..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Something I discovered...When I unplug from charger overnight I noticed it went from 100 to 98 immediately. I plugged back in until it said 100% since then my battery drain has been little if none. I did read how some chargers can cause wakelock in wakelock thread..Could this be it? I did the same today and same thing..less battery drain. Before yesterday it drained pretty consistently but now as I type I have 91% with 5 hours off charge and I have actually used my phone. Not sure what happened but wow. I am using KT kernel and pegasusq gov. am on 1/7 release. Normally there is all sorts of stuff waking my phone up.Just reporting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
I think the 100 to 98 is just normal. Say your phone charges to 100%. It then turns off the charge and bleeds down awhile but still shows full. When it gets down a bit it will charge again. If you pull it off in mid-cycle it will show you something less the 100%. Don't know if I'm right but thought I read that somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
Normal behavior leaving the phone plugged into oUtlet after full charge.. it starts to discharge for safety
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JOLiu:
Thanks. Worked like a charm!
