Yea. Something corrupt. Which recovery you use. There have been some reports of pre 4.3 nandroids not working properly. May be way it is partitioning the internal sd. Not sure haven't had time to look into it and haven't gone back to 4.1.2 as I'm steady theming, modding and testing 4.3. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you restoring an older Maps version? There's no need to restore Maps if you're using the latest version. What version of Google Play Services is on your 4.1.2 backup then compare that to the version that is in this 4.3 rom. If they do not match up (ie your 4.1.2 has an older Google Play Services) then it's entirely possible your older version of Maps is incompatible with newer Google Play Services especially since there's a newer version rolling out this week.

Edit: I've re-read your last post and I think I may have misinterpreted your last post since I'm realizing you guys were exchanging multiple posts before that :/

Idk what to suggest since I've restored to KitKat with no issues but that's obviously not JB 4.1.2.

So I've been away from tw for awhile and remember tether didn't work when 4.1 first dropped. Do tethering apps/native tether work with this update? I tried staying up to date with this thread, but it's growing pretty fast lol... Couldn't find anything about tether.

Forgive me if I don't know the rules on this, but why does no one simply create torrent file for download on here? They only get faster as more people get it, as long as the person copies it from their download folder to their phone instead of cutting it when it is finished, that way it will keep seeding.

NO FIRMWARE just modem. Read warning in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Sorry to ask questions that are either really noobish or if asking question that have been asked and answered repeatedly. I will be coming to 4.3 from BoneStock 3.4 (4.1.2). I have been very happy with BoneStock, but would like to try a 4.3 ROM with hope it handles notifications better on my Sony SW2 smartwatch. Big priorities are bluetooth (to connect with watch), Google Maps (use the phone as a GPS often), and I'd like a pretty stable phone that gets good battery life.

I have scanned this ROM's thread as well as the two newer 4.3 threads and I'd like to flash this one. Here are the questions:

1. Do I need to DL and flash the ROM zip from an external SD? I don't have one, haven't ever used one on any phone, and I think I read somewhere that it really wasn't required (may be just wishful thinking on my part). The OP says I do, so checking before I start.

2. I understand I need to also flash a new modem. The OP points me to the right modem. My question... If it turns out my phone works better on 4.1.2 will I need to reflash the old modem originally on the phone before my BoneStock Nandroid will work? And can someone point me to a link to the correct modem I will need to go back to if it turns out I need to go back to BoneStock?

3. I understand I will need to do a clean flash since I am coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3. So choosing TWRP Factory Re-set will do the wipes I need, or should I also wipe cache and dalvic again?

4. Speaking of TWRP, i have an old TWRP (v2.5.0.0). Do I need a newer TWRP to flash 4.3 (I think I saw where newer TWRPs may have been needed to to go to 4.4, but not sure if needed to 4.3).

Thanks in advance and appreciate your help and patience!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gts24:
pictures are worth a thousand words. The lockscreen grid for pattern unlock is far too small in 4.3

4.1.2 was thusly:

4.3 is now like this: (tiny grid for the pattern unlock ) .... this sucks.....

Is there any possible way to get the old grid size back? I've tried everything to no avail , it's clearly not changeable through any setting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RogerSC:
Didn't see another answer to this, so if you haven't already got it, just use the ML1_Revert zip from the 3rd post in this thread ("MODS" post).

Worked for me. On the other hand, it may revert more theme elements than you want to do. Like you'll get back the green top notification page symbols, too, that I personally like better than the blue ones *smile*.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's preferred that you do however you should be fine. Just know that after flashing, all of your data pre-4.3 will be moved to /data/media so it will appear as though you lost your data. If the flash fails or you notice something wrong and want to flash again, your data may not be visible in TWRP so having an sdcard is a fail safe.

[/QUOTE] 2. I understand I need to also flash a new modem. The OP points me to the right modem. My question...

It's preferred that you're on one of the newest versions but I do not believe that you need a new TWRP. However, if you decide to flash KitKat roms in the future, you do need at least TWRP 2.6.3.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Honestly not sure of 2 things...

A. May not be the right thread for me to post this and....

B. I swear I looked all over invisiblek's site for JUST the MF1 modem and couldn't find it...

So I took his MF1 firmware package and removed everything except the modem...so if you guys want it..here it is. Again, I'm not trying rip anyone off....I just didn't see ONLY the modem anywhere else!

You can try that modem on 4.3 but I couldn't live with 1.5 mb down and .5 mb up 4G. Been reported tho that ML1 modem will work on 4.1.2. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
You are absolutely right about both..... The ML1 modem DID in fact help my signal on 4.1.2 and if you try the MF1 modem on 4.3 it's gonna SUCK!!! lol....I was just trying to be helpful, because I'm sure there are some people like me that want to always have a backup plan in case they want to go back for whatever reason, seeing how we all have the same phone, but they can all react differently...IE...if a person did actually want to go back to 4.1.2 and DID want the MF1 modem back as well...well, now it's available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It's kewl. Just didn't want them to flash it and expect to work good on 4.3. I just keep the the full MF1 AIO . Doesn't matter if flash it all. Just flashing over what is there. Some came from MB1 and could use the full AIO anyway. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Now that you put it that way it makes much more sense! Maybe that's why he never made JUST the modem readily available....cuz most probably already held onto the full MF1 AIO.... like you and I for example... Thank you for always trying to steer myself and everyone else in the right direction, while always maintaining neutrality!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. With 4.3 this only time it mattered except when going from MB1 to MF1 the TZ broke camera and wifi on MB1 roms. This time it was life or death. :laugh::cool:

Thanks SlimSnoopOS. I am downloaded the zip now, will proceed with the install tonight. A few more noob questions:

1. Do I need to flash the new modem before or after I flash the ROM (I think I read they can't be flashed at the same time)? If after, I am guessing I need to wait 5-10 minutes for the ROM to "bake" before flashing the new modem, correct?

2. And after flashing the modem, do I wipe both caches before I flash, or after I flash the modem, or both?

3. Looks like there are a bunch of cool mods included as zip (planning to grab prdogs transparent accuweather and the 3D toggles). Guess I will be up late tonight DLing and flashing mods. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] golfslicer:
I got a terrible echo from the phone that had the mf1 modem on it. Replaced it with ml1 and echo was gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Flashing before or after is acceptable. Generally, it is best to flash zips (in this case, the firmware) by itself that way you can isolate any issues to that zip. You can wait a few minutes after flashing, I generally disregard that notion and tweak whatever I need to tweak since I'm usually doing non-intensive things like changing settings in apps.

If you want to be thorough, after flashing the firmware you could set up your rom then turn off the phone and pull the sim for about 30 seconds to force it to check for PRL updates (essentially your connection to local towers) once you boot the phone back up. Pulling the sim to update your PRL is the new method for LTE phones with sim cards because dialing *228 for 3G only phones as we used to do will ruin your sim card. Tip of the day!

No wiping necessary. The firmware (aka modem aka baseband) is flashed to a partition that you can not access by wiping in recovery.

I'm on SlimKat however see in that AOSP rom, /System/Media/Audio/UI and it's where sounds for the rom are located including the camera. Check in that path.

On AOSP, that file is titled "camera_click.ogg" You should be able to tap on the file name to play the audio file and confirm its sound before you delete.
