OP offered aosp mms in post 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You wasted a ot of time. Lol Just odin the last MF1 4.1.2 image. The .tar files are image flashes. They totally flash over what's on the partitions. Flashing the OTA is same as flashing a rom excect the firmware are images. Only need one image. Flashing multiple images does nothing till flash the final one as it wipes and flashes over all the rest. . :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] herbiehusker2608:
Thank you worked like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
i had that problem at the first of the week on these 4.3 roms happened like 3 different times and i would have to reflash.....i ended up wiping everything

including internal storage and sd card (back up stuff you dont want to lose) ive been good since then
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
For the ppl with battery issues, if u use Google now and have GPS off it will cause a wakelock on the phone. Leaving GPS on all the time will not effect ur battery and its hardly ever used unless u initiate an app to use it. This drain has happened to me on every rom ive run since the latest Google Now update. My battery life has been great on this Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Definitely always love good, straightforward information like this! Thank you! I have ALWAYS been hesitant to use Google Now....maybe NOW not so much....lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rswain64:
I was having the same problem with Google Services eating at the battery. Go to settings>>>location services>>> and uncheck google wi-fi & mobile network location. Seems to help my battery life so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluxvalve:
Yes, there are some symlink differences for sdcard and extSdCard compared to earlier versions.

That doesn't seem to be the problem though. I can do an 'adb pull' from /mnt/extSdCard and /system with no problems.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with SuperSU. It correctly has 'ADB Shell' as Grant Access. But if I have it forget adb, it never ask for SU permission when I do an adb push.

It does pop up the SU dialog when running 'adb shell' after telling it to forget the setting.

I'd sure like to known what happens when others do an adb push to the extSdCard, or to /system (after remounting rw) using this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
I imagine I could have searched for MF1 and downloaded it and odined it in slightly less time than going through the updates, but as I said I already had BLK3 downloaded. As for wasted time, I was just sitting around playing video games while the phone updated, and the missus was out with her friends so it was time well spent. Just sharing my experience and thank you for sharing yours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
flying without a net!

So i decided to do this tonight while at a play (dinner theater, i go for the food. Chicken wellington tonight)

so i downloaded

the stock rooted rom

the ml1 modem

the tether hack

moved them into goomanager folder

and went to flash in goomanager, chose to run a nandroid and clear caches, ordered the flashes in the order above and told it to go.

it rebooted into twrp 2.6.3.1 and started the backup. after completing the backup it couldn't find the files to flash so i stacked them up in twrp install and they ran perfectly. cleared cache and dalvik once again.

rebooted annnnnnnnnd...

system software not authorized by vzw has been found on your phone.

please turn off your phone and go to the nearest VZW store for help.

so can't get back into twrp, can't boot, when i boot into downloadmode and choose cancel it does not bypass this error and boot up

so can I boot to download mode and just flash the insecure bootloader and be ok here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Best bet is to odin back to MF1 and then follow the Casual thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
if i flash the vrlec bootchain will it boot? if it does then i can nandroid back. i really don't want to wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
You can try it but keep MF1.tar on standby.

once more into the breach I go!

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

Or close the wall up with our English dead.

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man

As modest stillness and humility:

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,

Then imitate the action of the tiger;

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,

Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
This is very useful information! I did not know that. However, I had both Google Now, GPS, and any location access disabled in hopes of improving my battery life. It did not. I have now actually done the opposite after reading that and turned everything back on. After all, I shouldn't have to be so conservative just to get decent battery life. Should still be able to actually use the phone. I'm not sure what the issue is yet for me.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

Thank-you for the reply! Unfortunately I already had Google Now and any location access disabled in hopes of improving battery life. So far, no luck.

'Once more unto the breach' - is from the 'Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' speech of Shakespeare's Henry V, Act III, 1598.

The most celebrated rendition of the speech comes from Sir Laurence Olivier's performance in the 1944 film The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fifth with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France

hey guys, it seems that I can't use the power and home button to screenshot, is there any alternative app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
you were right i was wrong, used this one from prdog1 :http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46334384&postcount=1385 it was a no wiper so i was back to where i was b4 without even having to nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Glad you got it sorted. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
you rock btw! this was nice and easy. is there any reason you aren't including the modem? just curious
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Go to settings/my device and scroll down to the bottom to motions and gestures. Click it and then make sure palm motion is turned on. Then take the side of your hand. Place it on the right side of the screen and sweep your hand across.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
It's not a good idea to package any firmware like modems and such with a rom. I also think it's best to flash modems separately in their own recovery session.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
well it obviously worked better that way for me so i guess chalk me into the "slowly learning how right you are" category

is there any chance some of the things that people have figured out could make it into a FAQ up front? like getting isis working, what's working on exposed, google wallet, ect? there are nearly 100 pages right now and looking back through them all is taxing my little brain. even how i had to recover and the link for the tar to restore back if the verizon unauthorized message appears might be useful for someone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] old&slow:
Yeah that's something I should have done already. Should probably work on that tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
let me know if you'd like to share the burden. i can take pages starting at a particular post and pm you what i've found that would be useful if you want. i'm going to bed now that my phone is working. so hit me with a pm.

night!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Anytime you get the yellow triangle of death and you didn't flash the 4.3 OTA, tar or bootchain means your bootloader was locked. Flashing an insecure kernel with locked bootloader triggers the Triangle. Requires returning to stock with Odin and reroot, unlock and recovery. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Been using it since I flashed this rom. It does work. Make sure you install the jb version. There is a kk version as well. I'll add that you should not both modules at the same time (wanam).

Do I just flash these?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brewmoon:
I had this problem when I first flashed it. I updated to the newest twrp and reflashed and it boots fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Hey Choc, my long press volume button skip tracks mod is working fine from Wanam/Xposed. I just downloaded Wanam from the play store, opened it, asked me to install a Xposed, I did. Reboot. Go into Xposed/modules, click the box for Wanam. Then go into Wanam and select the track skip mod, reboot. I never tried the torch mod since ppl were reporting it not working. Im using a bunch of other stuff in Wanam as well, everything I have tried works. Im using Samsung multiple widgets, samsung keyboard short delay and Wanam.

On another topic, if ur using a lock screen widget for weather make sure the app you use is installed in System/App folder. I am using cLock but i noticed it wasnt updating, after trying a ton of different things I moved the apk to System/app and set permissions then rebooted. Works great now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
To ALL,

I am currently running a Side by Side battery test with my S3 and My Wifes pure stock (never touched 4.3) S3.

Both phones will be used the same for the duration of the test. I will post results later today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scorchedsky:
Got volume buttons to skip tracks for Google Play Music as well as other apps with an Xposed module called Xposed Additions. You can use the free version to remap the volume buttons long press when screen off to media next / media previous. You can also remap any other buttons, while screen on or off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Thanks. On my phone the battery use difference was significant between this and CleanROM 7 4.1.2 and stock kernel. I ran the same setup. Also use two batteries both performed pretty much same. That is only bad thing I encountered with the ROM.

In my opinion it's the kernel. I flashed Beans and Andy's latest ROMS with stock kernel to test also. Both gave me the excellent battery life I am used to. But as we all know each device performs different. Just my observations, hope this helps.

Good job and thanks to all for their hard time consuming work putting this together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I've seen battery drop on 4.1.2 also ever since Google tied all services together. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
I don't see that but I am old and slow too. Edit: OK, got it, TAP IT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
My experience with this 4.3 was good...but I'm back to bonestock 3.4. Things ran smoother especially in games (namely despicable me)I will give 4.3 that (and I'm attributiting that to the new opengl drivers) but the battery life was less and the general ui speed (even after changing animation speed) just didnt seem as quick as bonestock. If I remember right I have a 'fast' phone (ran that command line test that I can't remember and I know it was listed as a fast one). Other than battery life, I noticed that there were alot more disconnects from my wifi and falling back onto 4g than with bonestock on mf1 as opposed to ml1 modem and this rom. I'm thinking that however is moreso the kernel as with other roms I've noticed similar results. Any input on my suspicions is appreciated. Hopefully andy(ala bonestock) and/or scott (ala cleanrom) will push out an optimized rom with this base. I'm kind of surprised noone really has done so yet. I know newer devices are out there but have all the 'old school' dev's moved on to greener pastures? Just wondering overall and as always...awesome job on this rom and keep up all the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I uninstalled Google+ and turned off app location in 4.1.2 and helped battery drain quite a bit. Didn't help 4.3 unfortunately.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

I have seen some others posting wireless issues with update. Mine is rock solid with both 4.1.2 and new 4.3 and I connect to different networks daily. Like I said earlier all devices perform different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
I can connect to the wireless just fine, its just as if with 4.3 its pickier as to how long it holds onto a wifi signal if its of low quality or not. (I swear the back part of my house is a faraday cage). I did (when I was on 4.3) turned off(made sure unchecked) the option regarding automatic switching from wifi to cellular connections and that didn't help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
He gonna have problems with MF1 modem on this. It don't play well with RIL and sucks big time on 4.3. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
Got the ScreenShot waving thing. If it works, where do the captures go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Gallery.Power/home works also unless a mod broke it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Agreed. When I test I always match ROMS and Modems. Never run mis-matched on daily drivers either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'm in Houston with full time 4G. On 4.3 with MF1 modem 1.5-2.0 MB down/.5-1 mb up. ML1 modem 10-12 down/6 up. :cool:

Pretty big difference.

Try using either twrp or an older version of cwm. Philz cwm is based off of cwm 6.0.4.5 which has some problems flashing roms since it's new from what I've seen

Just tried to reflash the .zip for TWRP and CWM and I am getting the same errors I got with the modem.zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
Which recovery are you on?

Does wiping /data just wipe out the system partition? It doesn't wipe out the internal sdcard storage,does it?

How would you compare this to CM11? I really have had almost no problems with the CM11 nightlys, but it's be nice to have a ROM that I know I won't have issues with and have the TW camera back (and official smartstay).

But, CM11 is so fast and smooth, it's incredible. I found TW 4.1.2 to be very laggy for me at times.

Nice job guys.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Just flash it after you flash the 4.3 ROM. It will repair some library files on the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Just flash it in recovery. It fixes the WiFi issues. It adds some libs that were left out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
Since you've been on both, what are your thoughts on this vs CM11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caveritt:
Still evaluating 4.3 but I like what I see so far. I really missed TW while on CM11. The camera was the main thing I missed but the signal on CM11 (or all AOSP ROMs) just does not compete with TW (samsung native drivers). This feels just as smooth as CM11, and with Wanam Xposed module you have just as many customizations as you do with AOSP.

Also, the theming on this is going to be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edthesped:
I'm torn, I really really like CM 11 as it's lean and fast but it still has issues, I was trying to show pictures from a recent dive trip at a party last night and the phone froze for about 30 seconds then rebooted cm11 also seems to suck battery for some reason I'm at 25% by 8 PM with moderate use. I can live with the occasional glitch but really want better battery life. one thing for sure is that I'm not done with CM 11 .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
I do miss the camera a bit, I haven't really seen any signal issues on CM11.

I also get tired of the nightly updates, even though it's not that big of a deal.

It'd be nice to have something I know is rock solid.

Is there really anything missing in downgrading from 4.4 to 4.3? You lose immersive mode. What else would we be giving up from Kitkat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I didnt know u had an S3!

hi, Thank you for the great Rom..

Im wondering if the rom has the option to add or even change the toggles in the notifications side of the pulldown menu? also I noticed on the add-on section some of them say they are missing the torch. Ive not been able to even locate a torch on the rom. is it something I'll have to install?

also I can no longer get the phone to mount to the desktop. It pops up saying its mounted as a installer. I'm able to click mount as MTP but not having any luck with it.

Sorry I had to cancel this test due to Work calling me and Needing phone to fix/test themes. BUT..

I can tell you durring the 4 hrs Mine was at 89% and hers was at 92%

Mine was getting woke up by hangouts apk (250+ times)

My honest opinion is this Rom sleeps like a baby and is Equal to the OTA. It really just depends what is installed and what is pinging the phone to wake up.

Sorry i could not conduct the test i had planned.

Back to Themeing I go :)

NiLS Notifications Lock Screen

I'm still trying to find the perfect setup on my device but so far I'm loving NiLS Notifications Lock Screen because it's a small app that shows all your notifications on your lock screen but it doesn't require multiple extensions like dash clock widgets. I prefer Action Launcher but I'm using Nova Launcher with the Cyrcle Icon Theme for now because Nova Launcher handles the transparent statusbar better. I am using the Xposed Installer with Alternate App Picker, Greenify, Instagram Downloader, Vine Downloader, Samsung Multiple Widgets, Unicon, and Wanam Xposed. I used the Wanam Xposed module to change the Quick Settings Icon Color from green to white. All we need is a working stock kernel because I'm pretty sure that will increase our battery life because I've never been able to get the best out of a custom kernel. Has anyone installed the Trickster Mod which is recommended for our custom kernel, if so, what do you recommend for good performance and battery life?
