Device: Galaxy S3

ROM: Slimkat

ROM version: Slim-4.4.4.build.6-OFFICIAL-5242

Build: slim_d2lte-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 5242 test-keys

Kernel: 3.4.95-cyanogenmod-gd56ed95

I purchased my S3 in April of last year (4.1 Jellybean), and at the time the wifi worked perfectly. After the first (or second?) OTA that was pushed to my device, my wifi started acting up. It would cut out and I would have to cycle the wifi off and back on in hopes it would work again. I have been patient hoping they would push an OTA that would finally fix it. A year or so and a few OTA (I don't recall how many, or which versions) later and it still doesn't work properly, so I decided to finally try a custom rom to see if it would solve the issue. The last stock version of android I was using was the 4.4.2 OTA.

I rooted my device using towelroot, flashed CWM Recovery (CWM_6.0.4.7_Non-Touch_GT-I9300) using ODIN 3.04, then proceeded to flash the Slimkat rom listed above using CWM recovery. The wifi seems to be better, but it still cuts out and is unresponsive even though it says I have full wifi signal. A wifi cycle seems to fix it temporarily, but I'd like to solve this issue.

So as far as I can tell the last working modem I had was stock 4.1 or so. So I guess my question is, can I flash previous modems to try to get a working one with this rom? Is there any apps or services anyone could suggest to try to troubleshoot to see if there is faulty hardware involved? I'm a bit of a novice, and refuse to pay ATT or Samsung to have it repaired at this point. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Noob wipes meid during Rom

Hi forum ,

I wiped my meid doing a a rom

Install had a clean recovery but

I may have accidentally wiped sd1 during boot .

So is their a way to manually

Enter that meid settings using

A edit or app.

I saw a method to use that Dell network manager thru usb to edit settings . Why can't

We make micro sd1 to build a type

Of flash settings to restore

The settings to the rom?

My current system is Virgin Mobile so until congress pass that mandatory . To allow us to switch networks my phone has zero meid settings for V.M. I have the phones M.E.I.D

And the hex where it gits tricky is editing the program. This phone dosent have a MEID flash disk it does have a usb

And I have SU. Installed and working. ?

My S3 is randomly freezing, only thing i've done is use Framaroot to root the device, still running stock rom , stock recovery etc...

obviously in 'about device' i get "modified"...

i'm not using overclockers, not running any modds other than a wifi host name changer... ( and i removed alot of samsung apps from system to get some ' free ram'...dam 1 gig doesn't go far lol... ) so not sure on freezing, but anyway, the phone is only 8 months old, so i might return it under warranty, so obviously i want to get rid of "modified" lol...

there was an option with framaroot to remove root, but not sure if that would remove 'modified"

any help is appreciated

Hi everyone,

I’m still on a stock ROM. And my S3 is so slow that I cannot accept that any longer.

So I decided to try a custom ROM, but I’m getting lost among all these huge number of manuals over here and the problems that some people are experiencing after rooting & trying new ROMs. My intention is simply to root the devise and get the most latest, fastest and stable ROM, suitable for me.

I’m searching and reading and all the time I’m dropped back, therefore I would really appreciate if someone experienced could just give me the latest links to the Odin and ROMs suitable for me.

Thanks a ton, in advance.

Need clarity on Encryption of Device and SD Card

Hello Buddies,

I am new to XDA forums. Apologize if I am writing in a wrong thread. Since this is mentioned as Help Thread thought will start with my introduction and ask my query here.

Before I begin, How are you all and How are things with you all?

I am from Prasath from India, currently in Frankfurt searching for job.

I have been using Samsung Galaxy Sw3 (I9300) from July 2012. Recently had rooted and upgraded to CM11. Also had upgraded the battery to Anker 7200mAh. Both are looking and working awe inspiring :cowboy:

I would like to know if EDS encryption app is better or CM11 inbuilt encryption app is better. Thinking about having the device encrypted since it is rooted to keep it safe. Also would love to know the Pros and Cons of encryption :confused:

Also I am interested in developing Apps, Themes etc. If anyone who cares to teach or wants this jobless Jack for help, can PM me. I would like to develop to learn to achieve something which I have been itching to create.

Also if anyone speaks German would be great, I can learn it from them:angel:

Appreciate your responses.

Hello everybody,

Today I flashed the 'GlamourS5 for S3' from the android development forum here on XDA.

When it rebooted after the flash was succesful, the samsung logo appeared (as usual) but after that the screen just went black.

It's been like that the whole time now and thus I have researched a little and appreantly it could be because the kernel is missing.

Now here comes the tricky part.

Last month I removed my power button from the motherboard because my phone (Galaxy S3 - I9300) kept restarting and I was not able to use it anymore.

Since then I have locked my screen using gestures and went into recovery by using 3rd party apps.

Is there perhaps a solution to this problem?
