I just had a quick look for any xposed modules which may do this and came across this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher&hl=en_GB

The app requires root (not xposed) and may work for you.

This app is incompatible with your device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
In addition, you can actually do a full nandroid backup via a custom recovery without rooting the phone first.

You have to flash that recovery via ODIN and avoid a reboot of the ROM and boot straight into recovery. So just disable the auto-reboot option in ODIN and hold VolUp-Home-Power to get into the new recovery. Backup and flash your favorite ROM from there.

locked phone

Hello! I have a question: I bought an S3 , but is locked to an operator. I gave to a repair shop and they told me, they will remove the lock.

If I install a custom ROM AFTER they remove the lock, is the phone gonna be locked again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugbyfreak:
[MENTION=4870705]DaFelix[/MENTION] no, the branding comes from the stock rom, so you simply can remove the banding for your own via odin. When you install a custom rom, there will be no branding. And when you would go to Stock rom, you have to flash the "normal one" /" branding free" Firmware
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaFelix:
Nope... It is not like that. I tried that already. I thought it is gonna work, so before I gave to a repair shop, I flashed a CM11 on the phone, but had no luck. With the TouchWIZ I had signal, but couldn't connect to a network. It wanted a SIM network unlock pin. With the CM, I didn't even have signal... And it was also telling me to enter a SIM network pin. THIS is a photo of this pin. It shows right after you unlock the SIM with the pin. You can ignore it, but you won't have a network. There are some paid services online, but they are not so reliable.

So back to my question: do you think after an unlock of the network, if I flash a custom rom, the network will be still unlocked?

Hey. Hope someone can. When I flashed a lollipop ROM. I chose Cyanide L which changed my phone from SGH-T999 to SGH-I747. When they stopped updating I started using matrixzone Cyanogenmog 12.1 nightlies installing d2att of course. I'm still with tmo prepaid but switching to straight talk in the next couple of days to poor signal. I used build prop editor to change all I747 to T999 and d2att to d2tmo, but messed it up pretty good.Now for my question does it matter what my phone id is and if so can someone help change it back. A simple what lines to change in build prop editor would do. Thanks for everyone's help

Locked out of root on Galaxy S3 i9305t

Hi guys desperately need help on this. I have deleted all of the photos on the phone. There is no sd card. I used Kingoroot to root the device and it says succeeded. I put Superuser on the phone. I then used a trial version of Easus MobiSaver which ploughed through the phone and found all of the photos. The phone rebooted while the recovery screen on the pc was still up so all data regarding the recovery was lost. I bought a license for Easus and repeated the exercise. Somehow during the process there was a popup on the phone that I had to press "allow" on to continue the procedure. The popup had a countdown timer which I did not press fast enough and it seems that I am now locked out of the root no matter what I do. Kingoroot says I am rooted, Rootchecker says I am not, and Easus cannot access the root for that reason. Every time I try to run Easus I get a notification "An application attempted to access system on your device without authorisation. This attempt has been blocked". I have removed Knox, cleared the data on Superuser but still cannot get root access. Please help. As always precious photos are at stake. Thanks from Cliff in Western Australia.

Hi, sorry for my english

Is there any way to recover apps or savegames after emergency shutdown (battery failure)?

After shutdown I restarted my S3 (Archidroid 1.X) and I noticed that almost all my apps and games are gone.

Some apps that stayed untouched, behaves like if they were first time started (for example: Swype open first time use creator etc)

I thought that it may be because of errors on my external 16GB card, so I put card in external card reader, and checked but there was no errors.

So I think that maybe data on internal memory card is corrupted. If so, how can I check internal memory card for errors?

Where savegames are stored, and can I simply copy it and finally is there any (easy) way to restore my apps with their data (settings, savegames)?

Galaxy S3 Dead

Hi guys

First time posting! My sister asked me to look at her S3. Can't boot into anything other than Download mode. Have attached an image of what happens when trying to boot normally or into Recovery mode (hard to explain what is on the screen otherwise).

I have tried using Odin to do firmware for giggles basically, and it has given a screed of errors. The most interesting one being that it is requesting use of a PIT file.

I think it is cactus and will need to be sent away for repairs, but thought I would ask all you lovely andriody people first :)

Thanks! :)

Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 stuck on Tweamwin Logo after reboot

Hi Everyone,

I have just struck trouble when flashing cm12 and installing TWRP recovery. Prior I had cm11 with touchwiz recovery.

I flashed OK and was using the phone no bugs apparent, turned phone off overnight to charge and the following morning it booted

into safe mode with something about 'decryption' on the screen. I rebooted and now I'm stuck with the teamwin logo that flashes every couple of seconds. Odin doesn't want to know it, so I'm stuck. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Hey!

I am with a GS3 from my friend's sister, trying to fix it because it has some issues related to wifi and mobile networks... It is original, and had Android Ice Cream Sandwich yet and, believing that the problem was with the system itself, this afternoon I flashed the update through Odin... Now it runs Android 4.3, original, firmware provided by Sammobile... The thing is, when I turned it on after the flashing, I noticed a message that pops up and disapears shortly after saying "Factory Mode ON". The phone keeps with the same problem of before, and reading a little in other threads, I noticed other signs that match to some descriptions of this Factory Mode, like: when I press power button, it shuts off immediately, with no reboot menu; there's no lockscreen, no matter what I am doing on the phone, when I press power button, screen turns off and when I wake the phone pressing home button, it comes back to the very same place I was just before; wifi doesn't work at all, it saves the known networks, but never connects and mobile networks are not available, it just shows me that the phone isn't registered in any network... So, does anyone know how to fix this issue of Factory Mode? If I root it and flash a custom rom, will it solve the problem ? I need help, but, if possible, in a simple way, because I have some knowledge, but just the basics :D

Hi all

I'm getting confused a lot by modem / ril. I'm currently on back-to-n00t room, really great rom, but I think that I may be on incorrect modem and ril.

And now to RIL... Where do I get best ril for my network? It's Vodafone UK. Why I am about ril? Cause of wakelocks in better battery stats.

Hello

Hoping for some help in rescuing a soft-bricked Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (XXUGMK6)

Had stock Jellybean (4.3) and opted for 5.1 cm-12.1-20150406-UNOFFICIAL-i9300. I backed up via TWRP and CWM but used TWRP for install which I performed clean including full wipe/dalvik cache reset. It took a few mins to install and looked to be working fine but the mobile network option showed com.android error. Tried clearing cache of SIM toolkit but then tried full reset from the 5.1 menu - big mistake and now when I reboot the samsung model shows followed by a teamwin blue screen that keeps flashing off briefly then stays on for 5 secs and flashes off and repeats.

Cannot boot into recovery as it looks like it's trying to do that and failing. When I connected via adb device connected shows as 'recovery' and cannot retrieve any logs.

I can see the device in odin but even trying to upload a ROM using 3.4 or 1.85 PDA option but even though it says NAND write the blue load bar on phone display goes fully to the RHS and odin sits there for about 15min then says Fail ( Odin >3.4 crashes when I click start).

Working now. After various attempts at uploading I connected via adb and typed 'adb reboot-bootloader' and the phone booted into cm12.1. Found this buggy for mobile networks and stock messaging so loaded Resurrection Rom which is far more stable and better bells and whistles. :D

Is there any way/ROM to get the "default write disk" option on my i9300 (I9300XXUGNA8)?

I really want this option, since it would ease my whatsapp etc. pictures syncing to my PC through USB with FreeFileSync.

I have tried: CM10.2 stable, CM11 24.04.2015 nighlty and even original 4.3 rom with and without rooting. Neither of these gave me the option.

Using foldermount whatsapp wont download new pictures so it's not an option to force Whatsapp images to the SD card
