Every phone needs a good decrapifying every once in while. Especially a crack flasher's phone. :p All we're concerned about is swapping out the imei on that phone #. When you reactivate the S3, vzw will resend the data provisioning to your phone. We used to have to do this all the time on the fascinate back when they were first cranking up 4g. It would constantly screw up our 3g. We didn't have a sim to swap for a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I can feel the love. Crack flasher >>> being old and slow though ;) Thanks. I'll try everything out. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well my man, that seems to have fixed it. :highfive: Actually it led me to 2 solutions - first was to disable syncing to Google Calendar (I thought I tried that!) since the online calendar which I've never used or even logged into, didn't have those things active on it. So, I can activate them on there or disable syncing, but the holidays still show up. I still don't know how things got awry or since using and flashing this phone for 14 months this only now showed up.

I also don't now how my feeble little fingers couldn't search for themselves, but thanks for cleaning my fanny for me! One day I'll learn how to do it myself. XD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Glad you got it sorted. [emoji4]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I had issues too with the calendar. It sucks, plain n simple. Lol. Though I can't say their support is helpful, they gave me the old YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED, WE CAN'T HELP YOU line, the app is very good. It's called DigiCal. Good luck :)

This a good guide to odin back and then to root again, unlock and install TWRP or ??? Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well, and things can get/be really complicated all by themselves! Dropbox, Google Drive, Gmail, Exchange, calendars, notes, userIDs, passwords, (Windows 7,8, Linux -Debian, Suse, BSD... where did I put that file...and what format is it in?) ... Not to mention that I've got 4 ROMs circulating through my phone at the moment and I'm keeping all of them up-to-date, though I use 2 the most. I could simplify my life considerably if I'd just stick to one thing and just use my phone.... but what fun would that be? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
That thread is a little out-dated but you can get your drivers and Odin there if you don't already have them. Do a search for the MF1.tar and then use bean's casual up in the stickies. If you haven't already, you will need to update your java to 7 because casual doesn't like 6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah. I had enough with multiple roms on the old Moto D3 and the early Safestrap by Hashofcode. I just rooted n unlocked with 4.1.2 and did my own debloating with the GS3. When 4.3 came, I tried about 3 roms and this was the best to me. I'm not one for crazy color schemes and inverted apps, I want TW and stability w/ a bit of flare here and there. This rom is just that. Shout out to my ninja, [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] and I guess [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] does something helpful too :P lol.

Great. Thanks. Tbh, I have no idea what I used to root the first time back in August/September. Lol. Ik I used some one-click to root. I unlocked with ez-unlock app and installed TWRP with Goo, I think. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Casual is way easier! Just have to make sure that you update java first. Surprised he doesn't mention that in the thread. After using that I do use ez-recovery to put my cwm back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
You don't TWRP? Not to be confused with twerk aka the dance of sluts :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
No, I've really never cared for it. I do like my cwm touch. Not saying it's better, it's just what I've grown accustomed to.

"EZ-Recovery for VZW Galaxy S3"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez this what you are talking about? Looks sweet. Does CWM and TWRP, from what I can tell. Btw, the Beans casual, does that unlock the booty as well as root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yes and yes. If you've got a recovery.img that's not already a flashable zip you can put it on your sdcard and then point to that directory to install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Okay. Thank you sir. Still running speed tests and getting weird results. One minute, 2 up and 2 down. Next 20 up and 18 down. The 5 up and 4 down. The 11 up and 9 down. Very odd. I'm in a 4g hotbed. When Sandy knocked me out back in 2012, my crappy rooted Samsung Stratosphere held me down. Ran everything for almost 2 weeks on 4g. Now I've got a superior device and it's horrid. Ik what I need to do, whatcha told me to do, just making conversation. You said tower but vzw says my area is spot on. Who knows. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I found the MF1.tar via Prdog1's link to a zip in Android File Host. It mentions flash the tar or .md5 in odin once pulled from the zip file, does it matter which I use? I also see stuff about resetting the counter with Triangle Away, that isn't a necessity, right? That's just if you want Vzw or whomever to think you never rooted, odin or the like, right? Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It is one file .tar.md5. There anotherfile in there but don't need it. Triangle Away is optional but it is also free to XDA members on the site. Don't have to buy from Playstore. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks. I saw that SlimSnoop mentioned to use one or the other in a small thread, so I asked. Yeah, I'm not fooling anyone. Just trying to figure out why my 4g speeds are crazy and why I've been dropping a few calls. Not worried about a counter. You da man :)

So I ran ODIN and used this tar file http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 but the phone won't load. It is stuck on the 4GLTE splash screen continually flashing for over 10 min now. I pulled the battery but that didn't do anything. Still won't load. Any ideas? Odin was fine, 100% success and nothing failed. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Factory reset. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I was just doing that in recovery. Lol. Just loaded up. Thank you. Now, I didn't wipe before I went into DL Mode and then ran Odin. Should I now wipe date/factory reset and Odin again or this doesn't matter, I would have to wipe date/factory reset anyway after Odin? Just want to make sure everything was done 100%. Also, phone is not connected to Big Red, and I am using my D3 for a bit while I toy with my GS3, there is no way the phone will OTA on me without service or being connected to wifi, right? Thanks again. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You should be good and won't update. Once run Casual it can't update anyway. Most it can do is bug you. :cool:

Ik it isn't a big deal for you boys BUT any movement on the S5 style toggles for this rom with the new toggles? It looks ok after I played with the zip like you told me to BUT it doesn't look spot on ;) Just wondering, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Fhem is one who made them. I have no idea how he did it. I told him about it so I passed the buck. He is tagged and it now. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
[MENTION=5526655]fhem[/MENTION] could you make some blue, and/or any other of the usual colors, S5 toggles for this new rom build here for the S3? The 2 new toggles aren't supported and even though Dog gave instructions on how to work around the new toggles with the S5 toggle mod, it isn't spot on. lol. I don't think he was tagged, Dog, so I tagged Fhem. :cool: Thanks for your time, Fhem. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Which color are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Blue S5, bro. I did what Prdog said to do to work around the 2 toggles but it doesn't look right. lol. No big deal if it can't be done, no problemo :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Had you installed any other mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Okay, I use a few the mods with this, maybe that is why? I installed Multi window theme, note 3 my files, 4x4 speed hack, VR spell check, Note 3 keyboard, the vr theme with the big MOAR batt font and then I flashed the S5 toggles you did. I am thinking it is the vr theme, yeah? I am just trying to get the blue theme with the big MOAR batt font. Maybe cause the date is now next to the time, it is causing the FC because the vr theme doesn't have that in it? Forgive my babble. Thanks for the help :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yeah, it's probably the battery theme causing it. Have you checked out the battery font without it yet? I thought I made this one pretty big.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Do you realize who you are talking to? lmao. I chose blue system ui with MOAR battery in Aroma and it didn't look as big as I am use to. Am I crazy? Where can I see the font sizes in the zips so I can see if I am crazy or not? (Don't answer that) :silly: Thanks, bro.

Is there something I can try to do to help with the icons. I have been side tracked on other issues. Please let me klnow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
I made a meager attempt at doing the new toggles for lockscreen on/off and screen timeout. I posted them a few posts back if you want to look at them. They're your zips with the new toggles added. If they are ok you are welcome to use them in your thread.

Still can't get Root Browser to work. I emailed Jrummy, the developer, to see if they can help. Very weird since, like I've said, no other build of this rom has given me this problem. I even downloaded a busy box app that mounts the system writable and that didn't help. Other than that though, this rom is smooth as ever. I just use Es File Explorer if I need to do something with files, even though it isn't my fav app. Keep up the good work, [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
I'm assuming that that is a fresh install of root browser. Thanks, glad you like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, I completely wiped everything and odin'd back to 4.1.2 and used Casual for everything, root, unlock, & recovery. I installed this rom and then I tried Root Browser, didn't work. I then did this all again to see if that would help and sadly it didn't

:( Lol. I haven't used a Nand for my data either, I installed everything fresh. What can u do. Hoping Jrummy gets back to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Had to try it for myself. Installed from the market and renamed an app in /system/app/ and after it asked for permission, it worked fine. Sorry, I don't have an answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
No worries. Just curious, after the app was installed and you opened it, it tells you that you need to install some files that help Root Browser work and you hit okay? The files loaded to 100%? Some options work, not all. Did you try to move an app to system>app, overwrite existing (like move a accuweatherwidget.apk that's been modded) and change permissions? You're on your stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yes, yes, yes, and..uh...yes! :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok. Going to try your kernel again. Can you just tell me the difference between yours and LK? I don't need a blow by blow, just a short explanation. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Mines just built from source. No extras. No tweaks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Ok and LK has those?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yeah. Different scheduler and governor. Not sure about UV or OC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Gotcha. Trying Stock Kernel now :)

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

So I installed the Stock kernel and it worked, Root Browser. Then I said maybe I can go back to Lk and it'll work. Well, I was right, it works on Lk now. I'm wondering if I installed Lk after the rom download & selecting Lk, that it would work then too. Anyway, it's working and I'm happy

:D :cool: Thanks [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Cool. I honestly didn't think it was going to make a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I see. Thanks for the wild goose chase :P Now, I'm thinking maybe the fact that I wiped caches did the trick and the kernel flip flop didn't do a thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Probably right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Well, at least ik what to do next time this happens. Cheers to the man named [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Same thing is happening to me on alliance... Always have used root browser with no problems, lately have not been able to move anything into system. I am wondering the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, first I uninstalled Root Browser, then just try to wipe Dalvik cache and cache in recovery. Go install Root Browser again. If it doesn't work, uninstall Root Browser again, wipe caches and install a diff kernel in recovery. You get the idea. Good luck :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
Doesn't sound like it worked for you..did it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Oh, no, I'm good now. I just did all those things at once. Old@slow said he didn't think the kernel switch would have helped and that lead me to believe that maybe just wiping the 2 caches did the trick. Like I said, I'm good now, but not sure what exactly did the trick. Lol. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:

[MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] would you say he's got some gremlins floating around; Odin back to 4.1.2, reroot>unlock>recovery and try the rom again? Or bad rom download maybe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
So, I guess the reinstall didn't help? Sorry, I've got no explanation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
Nope, still the same thing. I think I know why now. I'm trying this out with mulitboot and its not mounting the internal sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Aha! Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
Just wanted to report back. I got it working by installing Busybox. Now my internal sdcard works! While using multiboot.

Hmmm. I had searched this thread for news of such a mod and was happy to find this. I then installed Wanam Xposed (and Xposed framework). and enabled this option. Rebooted, and the useless Blocking Mode notification still shows. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] posaune76:
Did you activate the module in the "modules" section of the Xposed framework app (check the little box next to the module listing)? It's possible to make changes in the module without having activated it, having no effect.

So, to recap, install Xposed framework. Reboot. Install module. Activate module. Reboot. Make changes in module. Reboot.

Hope this helps. Beyond that, no ideas for you right now; just switched to a different ROM.

Okay, so I've figured out, for the most part, it isn't my phone that's off, but it's the 4G around my area. I ran speed tests for about a week on my phone on this rom and my wife's phone that's stock 4.3 NC1. The results are similarly poor. That said, what sites are there, if any, that can show me if work or upgrades are being done by VZW? Any idea [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] anyone?

AWS shouldn;t affect S3. We don't have radios so using same signal as always. Think they just turn on other band and radios combine the 2. It slow here in Houston and we have had AWS for a while. If I get 12 down and 2-3 up I'm doing good. Can get 13-15 up if ping deep into Mexico. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
well, you don't need another pat on the back, Dog. You forever acting holier than thou. I will admit [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] did say tower. ;)

Anywho, recently I was running 4 down and 4 up. Little while after that 3.50 and 8, an hr ago .75 and 4. Yes, .75. Let me add that sometimes late at night, 2 am or 3 am I get my old speeds back, 40 and 14 & 27 and 13 recently. Guess I gotta wait it out. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Definitely a tower problem if you get your speed back once traffic dies down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah. Very odd but a few yrs back there was a big deal about a tower vzw had here and was then decommissioned. When they went to put up the new tower, the town said it defaced a local monument of sorts, so for a yr I had little or no service around me and then they found a new spot for a tower after about 10 11 months. Hopefully soon this gets corrected.

Okay, yesterday and today my phone just turned off needing a battery pull to get it back on. Ik just now I was using this roms stock web browser, phone turned off bc of the screen timeout and then I hit the rocker twice with slight pause in between to turn back on the screen and nothing. Idk if this makes a difference but my phone's power rocker has always been off. Like, it isn't in right so if you don't press precisely, it doesn't take sometimes. Now, could me tapping the the rocker again and again bc I think it didn't take the first time or second time cause this or what? Any programs that can tell me wtf is doing this? Lastly, my screen to turn on from sleep is delayed at times. Can even take a few seconds till it pops on. Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Repeatedly pushing the power button, if it does take, could cause any kernel to go nuts. Since your power button is so problematic, why don't you use the home button to wake your phone?

Something strange happened to my phone today. For some reason I can not get data. Even switching to WiFi it says "network disabled because internet connection is slow". I have changed anything from yesterday. I even reflashed the ROM but still the same thing. Other phones in the house are able to connect but not me. I did notice that the network mode changed to global. I switched back to LTE/CDMA but still no date. I still have a IMEI number and it states "mobile network state connected". Does anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Pull your sim card, battery, & then reboot. :)
