[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
digiblurROM MK3 S3 Deodex - 2014.01.17

ATTENTION Thin Skinned Users: Dry humor ahead 1 post.

If you've ventured into the Note2 forums you've seen my ROM before...it's time for an S3 version!

I've always enjoyed a nice simple to the point ROM on my phone. It seems many ROMs start out as this but tend to stray quickly so I have shared mine for everyone to hate or enjoy. If you are looking for some heavily themed ROM with 68 notification toggles, everything turned purple, etc, then press the back button now.

I've been working on a slimmed down cleaned up ROM for the Galaxy S3, it's similar to the one I created for the Note2 in the past. It is based on the MK3 Android 4.3 update so you will need to be upgraded to this point and have a custom recovery installed. KNOX is not included in the ROM but was developed/tested on a device with a KNOX bootloader without any issues. If you do not have the MK3 bootloader you will need to flash the S3 wifi fix after this ROM is flashed. This ROM does NOT contain any modem or bootloader flashes!

What the ROM does NOT have:

- Some cute build name

- A cool team name

- beta or alpha version number

- themes

- crazy zombie jumping out the phone for a boot screen

- kiddie boot sounds

- annoying Sprint boot animation/sound

- dumb Sprint shut down animation/sound

- stupid camera shutter sound during screen shots and camera usage(turn off in camera settings)

- idiotic 777468(SPRINT) code requirement on the ##DEBUG# menu (entire prompt is gone)

- MSL code checks on ##DATA# Editing (to quickly turn off LTE without a reboot or MSL code)

- tons of Samsung & Sprint bloat

- 1.21 gigawatts of overclocking

- unnecessary carrier customizations that screws up your Sensorly points

- eyeball icon in the taskbar (removed properly)

- redundant "You have lost data..blah blah" message when switching to roaming (we have a triangle on our signal already!)

- full battery charge notification

- sympathetic support team

- Sprint connection optimizer toggling your wifi and spying on the usage of the neighborhood's open wifi access point

- KNOX garbage and knags

- Headphone volume level too loud nag

What it does have:

- 1X signal type display corrected (shame on you Sprint!! Tested and works!)

- modified battery icons with battery percentage

- PRL Write enabled in the ##DATA# menu (-PRL Thread Here-)

- 4-in-1 reboot mod

- A mod that announces "I'm watching porn!" every 30 seconds if you write those dumb 00001 PRLs (I wish!)

- All apps multi-window mod built from proper MK3 base files

- KISS principle

- Dry humor in the ROM first post and continued posts throughout the thread by the ROM author

- Google Maps 6.14.2 w/KML layer usage (remove updates if it gets auto-updated)

- Blacked out Google Hangouts (the way it should look!)

Screenshots

None needed as it is stock. Just a status bar shot is necessary

Flashing/Upgrading:

Some have manually flashed up to 4.3 without applying the 4.3 KNOX bootloader, this does require the WIFI fix due to the mismatch of software. There might be other pieces missing such as NVRAM modem tweaks so I personally do not use this method. The only downside to the 4.3 bootloader is tripping the KNOX flag in the bootloader but my device is long out of warranty anyways.

I always recommend a proper wipe of the system and data when do a ROM install, it may not be required but I have not tested this nor will I help the dirty flashers with issues. The choice is yours... If you flash any other mods around the forums on top of this base just remember you could be undoing things brought to you in this ROM.

Add-ons:

-Wifi Fix for those with the older 4.1.x bootloader-
