Awesome! Thanks for sharing your great news!

+1, VirtualBox will do in a pinch but VMWare is the best.

Sorry for the additional OT, but although VMWare still has its place for me, under Windows 8 and Server 2012, Hyper-V is SO fast on modern processors that support hardware virtualization. Especially for taking snapshots (backups) of the live system. Even faster than VMWare in that regard.

VMWare still has more features, and Hyper-V's networking is overly complicated but when speed is everything it's definitely worth looking at.

I use both depending on what I'm doing.

Just a follow up to my earlier statement....

ND8 is working great..

As has been said already, it uses much less RAM and runs smoother than MK3

The WIFI issue I had above was a one time thing, has worked perfect since. (I keep my WIFI off 90% of the time, but on occasion need it to work while screen is off, working great now.)

Battery life is stabilizing, seems good now.

I'll have to check out bilgerryan's Wicked X 6.0 next!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
That is what I am running and all is working very good.

This was the fastest that I ever took an update.

Great to see great developers still using and supporting a phone that is over 2 years old!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
need help. followed all the steps. the phone booted fine a few times. now i cant even get past the samsung screen. Cant get into odin or recovery, The phone just goes to black screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Did you odin or take the OTA to Stock nd8 first? If not, you're bricked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
yes i did. it booted and worked fine for about 15 minutes then it shut off and now it turns off after a few seconds of being on. I can get to odin screen but then it shuts off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Ah, sounds like you have a stuck power button... It's actually a common problem, take apart the phone a either clean it out around the power button.... Be careful
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
what do you mean take apart?

when i press the power button it clicks and all. when i pull the battery put and put it back in, it turns on by itself for the 15 seconds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJj33p3rz:
He means take the phone apart.Be very careful doing so.Your power button could have dirt,dust and pocket lint stuck in there.Its worth a try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
thanks. got it fixed. the power button is gone from the phone. good thing the g3 is coming out soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dchawk81:
I'm having some sort of brain fart here. Installed and am using the stock 4.4 as the first step but I no longer have CWM or any other custom recovery. But I'm getting a verification error when I use stock recovery to try to flash the latest CWM zip.

Am I missing something? It's been a while since I've done all this. Right now I'm stuck on that first unrooted version of kitty kat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
You need to odin the recovery of your choice, not flash it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
You can't flash this or anything else that matters with stock recovery. Odin to the latest Philz recovery. CWM does not seem to work properly with this build anyway BTW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dchawk81:
I had a tough time finding an image file to Odin. I'm good now though. CWM 6.0.4.5 seems to work okay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte

Good to know about CWM, the true test will be if it works for backup and recovery also. I can't recall what the problem was with CWM. Same goes for TWRP; I believe it works but you have to be running the latest build for proper backup & recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Just look for the .tar file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Correct me if I'm wrong, confused, ignorant or all of the above :p, but I thought these two ROM versions available here (the odexed and deodexed ones) were already rooted? I thought all one had to do was flash the stock one (posted in the OP) via Odin if you needed the 4.4 bootloader, which I would since I technically still have the MD4 bootloader?

Just need a little clarification in case I'm missing something. Thanks! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
Yes, flash the tar (to get on the latest bootloader), odin custom recovery and wipe and flash the stock pre-rooted rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Or you could flash Wicked and skip stock-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2750674
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
I love shameless plugs. LOL

I'm surprised at how quiet everything is on your thread too considering that yours is the only custom ND8 rom available. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's been that way on all my threads for the S3, tons of downloads and really quiet in the thread
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
Probably because it works. Seems like the way to have busy thread is to have issues, make it confusing for people or constant pursuit for perfection.

You don't have either of the first two and it seems like you are working on the last one at your pace since there really isn't any other ones or there.

Keep up the good work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
does anyone know how to get into recovery mode without the power button?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] F3AR420:
either enabling the extended reboot options through wanam and xposed or you can download a rebooter app from the market and use that to reboot into recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
dont have root anymore. i installed the nd8 tar file and then my phone went to crop. power button broke and i had to remove it. anyways, i need to get into recovery to install the rooted rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
What you can do is odin in the custom recovery, make sure auto reboot is checked, when it's done the phone will reboot into system, but you can force it to boot to recovery instead by holding the button combination (vol. Up and home) as soon as the screen shuts off and release those when you see the words in the upper left... So instead of letting it boot, hold the button combination to get into recovery (I hold them as soon as I see pass on odin)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
you are the man! let me see if installing the rooted nd8 brings back my root.

everything worked. i got the root back, but lost my power button in the process. oh well, lg g3 is coming soon

Thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
That was my next question: flash the stock unrooted ROM so that I have the Kit Kat/Knox boot loader, and so that I can forgoe being stock rooted, then flash a custom recovery so I can flash a custom ROM (yours)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
That stinks :( .

Another reason I really like tdunham Lock Button on the Statusbar Mod. We had it on MK3 MOAR. Would be awesome if we had it on ND8 ;) ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Same here. I loved that mod. I hate using the power button. I have been using Floating Toucher for awhile - 2 touches to screen off but also allows for other apps which you use often to be right at hand.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CL1311:
Not much to say other than Thanks when you put out such a great ROM!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdoc1:
ND8 upgrade?

As usual great work CNexus. I was on my stock MK3 rooted ROM - provided by you - thank you! - until last week. For some reason, last 2-3 months it seemed kind of laggy and I was getting annoyed. Over the weekend, I read about the update and many other things. Due to ND8 upgrade requirement and not much post about it's experience at that time, I did not want to jump in. So, ended up flashing AOSP builds. After trying out a couple I have settled on the beanstalk. I have been using it for five days, excellent experience. It is fast, no lag at all and very responsive, although with netflix not working!

Any way, to get to the point - I am considering upgrade to ND8 modem. In my reading, I also came across this thread and of course this one I am posting on. I am a bit confused. If I flash ND8 over my MK3, it may cause hardbrick. But that seems to be the requirement for 4.4 stock ROM. I would appreciate some clarification. Thank you again.

-GadgetDoc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdunham:
You can't flash the ND8 modem, it will brick your device and the link for it has been removed. The only way to get it is to flash the full ND8 TAR. This will also prevent you from using any of the older modems. Once you're on ND8 bootloader, you're stuck with the ND8 modem as well. You CAN flash back to MK3 roms but not via odin, only the zip installs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The modem was pulled because several people bricked their phones flashing it on the MD4 Bootloader. So to get the modem you need to flash the stock tar in Dr CDMA's thread and then Odin recovery and you can flash or nandroid back to whatever ROM you want to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
After running the DeKnoxifier, should i see ANY Knox apps? I ran the deKnoxifier during my install but when I go into TB and look for anything with Knox in the name, there are 7 Knox apps including knox notification manager, knox store, samsung knox 3.0, etc.. Can I get rid of those safely?

Edit: Flashed the deknoxifier/debloater again. Got rid of all of those pesky Knox apps... Not sure why it didn't completely work the first time....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dchawk81:
Hmm. I'm having issues with my external SD card now. For some reason and with some apps I have permission issues and can't access it. Sygic (an offline nav app), Quickpic's edit function, etc.

Not necessarily ROM specific but going to ask anyhow.

Since MK3 and now ND8 I can no longer play Play Movies in my S3 I have purchased whether I stream or download them. At 9 seconds in they freeze, make a scratchy noise then start over.

I have did a lot of searching on the topic, found others with same issue, but found no fixes. Cleared cache, switched from deodexed to Odexed, etc. Works in my Nexus fine, so not google account issue. Just thought I would post and see if anyone else has same issue or a fix. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I don't pay for stuff, but does this play the movies through the stock video player or some other app? I have had a couple issues with streaming random videos where it tells me it is playing audio only, but that's it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
I believe it is a player built into Play Movies.

It's very odd.

6.0.4.5, if I remember correctly, doesn't restore the nandroids correctly once you have the ND8 bootloader. Philz us confirmed working, and as has been said, I don't think we've confirmed TWRP v2.7.0.0

but a lot of people just plain can't even use that version on their S3s.

There's an Xposed app for that. Double Tap To Sleep. I love it.

I know it's blasphemy (sorry, [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]) but I like it even better. I can double tap anywhere in the status bar to turn the screen off, it doesn't take any room in the status bar, and sometimes I hit the lock icon by accident or had trouble hitting just the right place.

It should with one of the Xposed apps that allow Launcher rotation for TouchWiz. I use Nova so I forget if it's in Wanam or where.

Yes I know, I'm currently using the Double Tap to Sleep Xposed Module ;) . But with tdunham's Mod you get other benefits. One is that when you long press on the Icon, it brings up the Device Menu. The same as if you had used the Power button. Which is quite nice.

Wanam does have the option to rotate the Launcher.

I managed to get everything to work except that I can't restore the backup I made yesterday using TWRP. Grrrr. I got some data back through Nandroid extraction via Titanium Backup and restoring some files from my Dropbox. Both were very time-consuming and I'm still missing a few things. I don't understand why the restore from backup didn't work.

I have a question. Why did we have to flash the ND8 ROM? When I Odined the ND8 tar and then Odined Philz Touch recovery, it gave me back Root -- which surprised me. I did flash the ND8 zip in case there was something there that was missing from the tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
If you odined the tar you really didn't have to flash this, but to flash other nd8 based roms you have to use the tar because it gives you the nd8 bootloader which you need or you will brick your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
Odin full ND8 tar to get bootloader (ROM will not be rooted). Odin philz to get custom recovery. Then you flash CNexus Rooted ND8 ROM or any other Custom Rooted ND8 ROM (Wicked X) to be rooted.

If you were rooted before flashing this, then either you flashed SuperSU from recovery or Philz added it on its own.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nastypup:
I understand that. However, the OP implied that we had to do both. I could have save download and flashing time if I knew.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The only thing the OP implies is that you have to use the tar to use this ROM, both say STOCK ND8, which means untouched. If you flashed the DeOdex then there actually was a purpose to what you did, you can flash all the mods that are out for ND8. If you flashed the Odex what you did was redundant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
There's two versions in the OP, Odexed and DeOdexed. If you wanted DeOdexed, it is necessary to flash it or one of the other DeOdex solutions.

Keep in mind these are primarily for other developers to base their ROMs on since they're completely stock but rooted.

The assumption is also made that if you're reading the OP of this thread that you're wanting to flash either of the two zips.

This isn't some catch all how TO Odin and root ND8 thread, although people have been using it and all other ND8 threads as such.
