So if we are on a 4.4.2 custom ROM we can just flash this as we would any custom ROM? And flash back at anytime like normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Yes flashes like normal from recovery. You should wipe and flash matching modem also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Steve, can you post a link to the matching modem so I can put it in the OP please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Sure can.

YES! Finally an odex version!! Thank you good sir!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Everything works, eg hotspots?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I tested tethering with WiFi Tether Router. Worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Its stock rooted with no mods, as it states in the Op.

If you pay for hotspot then you will be good to go :good:

As a huge fan of Cleanrom 7 and currently on CM11 4.4.2, I look forward to "Eight" immensely :)

Quick question, what are the primary things one will "lose" moving from CM11 to this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Me too! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Hey Scott welcome back! So glad to see u back with a S3! Thanks to the person who donated it

Sorry to ask, but this is just a stock ML1 Rom and there will be another Rom 'Eight' coming soon?

Anyone else have trouble with messaging? Mine kept force closing. I flashed the AOSP messaging zip and then it worked.

Clean install, wiped everything (including internal by accident).

I didn't mess with it too much, I needed messaging to work, I use two-step verification for Google, I always get my code sent via text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yes, Eight is the codename for CleanROM 8 ;)

Zero problems with messaging. Screenshot to follow...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Can someone post a different link to the ROM? Scott's website is down. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Just checked it's up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scottbg1:
Download is VERY slow. Fails at 50% each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Yeah, it was my 4G LTE screwing up. Once I connected to my apartment's WiFi, it loaded up fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
Scott - Thanks for the ROM. Can you speak to what the wifi bug is? You seem to indicate that vzw left a bug on purpose? can you expand on that any?

thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep, when you flash a stock boot.img stock stock kernel WiFi will not turn on because of changes made to the firmware. Its not really a "bug" but a way of making things hard? IDK what to call it.

However, if you are on Safestrap (because you took the OTA) then this "bug" will not exist because you have the latest firmware.

Basically its a work around to taking the latest firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CLran619:
Thank you for the rom bud :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vince556:
Downloading now. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Scott, thanks for this! You are the man! It seems like (prior to 4.3) the majority of all ROMs available for our device used yours as the base.

Question about the odex version - can we still use Xposed framework to mod/theme it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanInAj:
Working great so far here.

Looking forward to 8.

Thanks, Scott!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
This baby is finally set up and running like a dream. Thank you for your work Scott and can't wait for Eight to come out. :D

By the way, any chance you might implement multiwindow support for all apps in the new ROM?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
The Vzw vs3 community really missed you. Nice work. Just a reminder to all, you should back up all important info to a pc or other storage and recommended to wipe internal. 4.3 uses a different path for internal storage than 4.1.2 does... :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good point!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Version 2 is up!

This includes the fixed exFAT support fix.

You can get the same kernel change by downloading my separate kernel instead of downloading the entire ROM. Its all your choice!

All files, Odex and De-Odex are ready for download!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Windsor1959:
"Although it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to us!" Welcome back, Scott!

I downloaded and installed this ROM with the matching modem that was referenced in the OP (but not now?). Installation was flawless, and my 4G download speeds have quadrupled! But it doesn't like my wireless network. I get messages that my network is unstable. Anyone else see this?

Edit: Though my S3 tells me that I'm connected to my network, I can't download anything or access anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Maybe it doesnt like the new modem, can you try the previous you had? Also, maybe try changing channels on router?

I also have to wonder how much of this can be related to the lack of the new firmware.

With that said, I get pretty decent speeds from my router. Not had an issue yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I just loaded this and I see that Wifi tether is not working. It says that I do not have tether enabled on my account. Does anyone know a fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Yes you can use Xposed. I tested a few things with Wanam.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanInAj:
I was getting the instability notification as well while on my 5ghz network - switched to my 2.4 and everything's been kosher.

Probably on my end, but just an fyi for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vince556:
Did you try the zip from old and slows thread?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
It does work with the Old&Slow mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
never formated my internal sd card before. Do I just back up everything on the pc, format then transfer back. If I do that then what's the difference of just leaving everything alone? or is there only certain things I want to transfer back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jihoonie:
I know this rom is deknoxed, but just want to give everyone the heads up that you may want to freeze or delete this apk.

Thanks Scott for bringing us your magic once again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This is a stock based ROM with no mods except for Root and the removal of Knox.

Yeah, thats what makes not 100% sure on the whole "skipping the 4.3 OTA firmware because it locks your ass down thingy".

I wonder what fallout it could cause? Right now I am fine though. I am runnign this stock root just trying to find anything to shake loose so I can move onto Codename: Eight.

So far is amazingly smooth. At least Samsung made it decent for those locked down!

Yeah, to be safe, I would copy the contents of your SD to a folder on your PC. Flash ROM, then format the storage from inside the ROM and copy everything back.

Its mostly a precaution. But its ALWAYS good to have back ups!!!

Yeah, SOB snuck by me! But regardless it is rendered useles with the removal of the actual knox blocking agent files so it wont hurt either way.

But like you said, doesnt hurt...

And if you are freezing things, I would also freeze the Verizon remote support agent. That just kinda creeps me out some.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
Do I have to flash the MF1 firmware then the ML1 modem to use this ROM? Everytime I get off the MB1 modem I'm unable to send texts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Windsor1959:
I tried both networks and get the same result. As background, I had been on CleanROM on my S3 since October. No OTAs. I am liking the improved 4G speed of the new modem, though it doesn't seem to like my Wi-Fi for some reason. Since I don't use Wi-Fi all that much on my phone - except when I use my phone as a hotspot, it might be an acceptable tradeoff. I wonder if Eight will be different?

It is possible that my network is "off" in some way. When my new MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, it sometimes tells me that there's no IP address, and it will take several minutes before it finally logs on.

Well, how do you like that? I just rebooted my router and DSL modem, and I have WiFi working on my phone again! Tarnation! Who'd have thunk it???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Try it without and see what happens.

Hmmmm..... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ftmaniac948:
For those of us who already screwed up our internal storage, where should all the files be? In root Explorer I'm seeing sd card, sdcard0, in emulated a legacy and a 0 folder. Basically if you do have a screenshot of how it should look that would be great so I can clear up some duplicate files :-/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Honestly, I dont know on this one...

I havent been on 4.1.2 since I left the SGS3 7 or 8 months ago.

Someone else may be able to explain better than me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hidden away in /data/media. Cut and paste it wherever is appropriate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
I know it's going off topic but is there a way to force the old style file structure it just looks so messy and the 4.1.2 file structure was clean clearcut and easy any suggestions would be welcomed. It's the only thing Holding me back from making a 4.3 rom daily use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanInAj:
Just another small fyi:

When I go to Software Update in Settings, Settings stops. Obviously we would never do that, but just something I noticed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nope. It's part of AOSP 4.2+ as developed by Google. It is to address multiple users on the same device.

Completely intentionally because "sdm 1.0" is removed which allows you to manually check for software updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanInAj:
Oh ok, gotcha. Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This is correct in both answers!

Answer 1: They did this for "multi-user" eg: user 0 gets /data/media/0/sdcard/.

user 1 would get /data/media/1/, etc etc etc..

Answer 2. Yeah! Haven forbid I didint take that out and I forced everyone to take a new update. You know how many people would try to hunt me down, lol :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
I had the same instability warning on MOAR. It must be a new 4.3 "feature".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Feature! I always liked that term!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
The odex version is the snappiest 4.3 tw Rom I've ran. I'm using xposed modules to add all the missing features :) .. I can finally take a break from xda for a bit :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scottbg1:
I wonder how accurate the instability warning is?

When I first installed 4.3 and received the warning I tested my download speeds about 5 times in a 20 minute time span. I consistently got 30 down each time. I also notice I get the message after joining a new connection. I haven't gotten it since.

Just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Damn...

I need to break something so you will be back ;)

I had the issue with my Note 3. I changed the broadcast channel on my router (as I suggested earlier) and it was fine...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
In regards to Safestrap compatibility, users of Safestrap recovery need to flash the VRUCLM1 kernel modules that are linked in the Safestrap OP in order to have working wifi. I know you have used multiple devices, so I'm curious what makes your rom not suitable for Safestrap users whereas the other TW 4.3 roms are. It doesn't affect me either way, just helps from a knowledge perspective.

Edit: since you have used multiple devices, you are more likely to have greater experience with Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You just answered it and quoted my post which also answers it.

You need the proper kernel modules.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
And because I did not post them I cannot support them...

I had the intent to but forgot: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49786312&postcount=3

EDIT: Also not sure if a delete recursive is needed or if format will work. I wasnt thinking and did a format command instead of delete recursive so not sure how SafeStrap works with that. May be fine but I dont know...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] syintiphic:
Thanks Scott. I was looking forward to downloading the Odex version but figured you were still working on it.

I guess one could use your original version and then flash your updated kernel right?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yep, exactly.

I only reposted because of the updated kernel. Nothing else changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh, ok appreciate that Scott. This Safestrap recovery and Knox bootloader adds an interesting wrinkle to flashing roms. Doesn't hurt for me to learn what I can from great devs haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suchavibrantthang:
Thanks for the ROM Scott, can't wait for CR8. I've tried old&slows rom several times and could not get a consistent wifi connection (unstable notif) which is either a 4.3 thing or carrier f up. Then kept doing a Nand back to CR7 and cleaning up the file system cause Titanium kept showing two folders for 4.3 and 4.1.2. Finally wiped the whole damn thing. I'll give this one a try. Lean and dkp kernels didn't play nice on my phone for some reason. Since my vibrant, I've always had to stick w/ stock kernels.

Just flashed this rom today and so far so good. Haven't had any bootloops or any force closes. Used Rom toolbox lite to uninstall and froze a few things that I know aren't going to cause any problems. Used battery calibration to try and get an accurate reading of my battery, let it charge to 100% and its been depleting, just as it got to 20% it turned off. I turned it back on and I get to my lock screen and immediately it turns off again. Do a battery pull and same thing. Once I plug in my phone it shows that its at 20% at the charging screen. Any chance I froze something that would cause this problem? or is my battery just not reading properly. Just want to try and finally get something that has a good battery life. Currently been using roms that only get me about 1hr 12 minutes screen time =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
No you prolly didint didin freeze anything...

You "calibrated" the battery. You just dont need to do that.

Flash the ROM, charge the battery and just go. You dont need any calibration tools.

Scott, I was wondering if you had any write ups on how to re odex roms. I know you offer an odex version but there are mods I want to make prior to odexing. Thanks for the great work!

Good to see you again, Scott!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
This is exactly what I use when I re-odex an entire ROM: [Tool][App] Dexo - the Universal Odex Utility

That way can cause compatibility issues... So what I do is make the mode in de-odex fash, then just re-odex that single file.

I dont have any write ups... But there are plenty here on XDA.

Thank you sir!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
The benefits really depends in where you live. However, it's definitely needed for this ROM because LTE will suck without it.

And obviously it was put out for Verizon GS3s. It's the official modem that came with the 4.3 update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
My phone will only run with the MB1 baseband otherwise my text msg will not send. I can receive ok but not send. No matter which 4.3 ROM I try, only MB1 works. Strange

You may not benefit. Try it and find out.

One thing I noticed..the 4.3 WiFi tether has trimmed down on choices for wep..it only allows open and wpa2..I need just plain WPA to connect my hp460c printer manually through add devices section in the tether app..that's why I'm still on 4.1.2..any way to mod that?,, like use the 4.1.2 stock tether instead?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Well, you can't use the stock tether app with 4.1.2, but there should be tethering apps that should work on the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
From my experience, the store apps just take you to the stock settings anyway..we just need the choices added back..I put my printer onto the network manually and it only seems go accept WPA..if there's an app that adds that feature I'd try it..will look around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daoist:
Thank you so much!

I had been trying to get the other "stock" ROM to work for me but it seemed to be a pile of bugs. When something broke I'd have no idea if it were a problem with the ROM or with verizon's stock ROM, since so many things were changed in that "stock" ROM.

This is great. Thank you thank you thank you!

quick question on install

can i wipe system before installing this? i have some problems stemming from getting google wallet to run (flashed the sprint libs) and so i can't use the $50 that i got from SERVE via ISIS. works on my wifes phone flawlessly but not mine.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

are you on wifi when you try to send? if so revert to data and see if it goes. i think the "kernel fix" for wifi is not turning data back on for the short time that it takes to send a text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Wiping system is not rom dependent. Wipe that and factory reset before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
i'm hoping to not wipe apps just system. but i am backing up with nan and tibu in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ucpro:

I'm sorry if this seems kinda ignorant... (I've been out of the custom ROM scene for the GS3 for a while...) but what would you say the main differences are between this ROM and CleanROM 8? I've been using SynergyROM for a long time and I have no idea which would be the better one to upgrade to.
