I meant replacing the battery but new phones are always nice. :laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Under Wifi > Advanced Settings, there is a setting called, "Keep WiFi On During Sleep" or similarly worded. Set that to Never and half of your battery problems will go away.

I feel ya.

I have a OnePlus One invite sitting in my inbox. the wife is not going to let a 50 % sway her.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
Awesome. When wifi is fixed will flash on moms s3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill look in to the languages. Not sure about the launcher though. Haven't seen this myself. Did you flash clean?

so data has issues on otger roms as well? Have you tried anothrr modem?

look for a hot boot setting. Ill look into it as well when I get home.

wifi probably wont be fixed until the official update is out for us.

Should work fine. Confirmed on the T999N which is identical.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
Yes im currently on CM 11 and i still have the data issue i tried flashing both modems i found for the t999n still no dice. i thought removing the sim card and leaving it out for a few minutes would fix it but that didn't work either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Can you give me some specifics on what triggers it, does it cut in and out over and over? Anything else you can think of? I have a few ideas, if I get some time ill try to put something together for you to try. In the meantime, when did you last flash your official firmware via odin? Try that, then factory reset and see if it continues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
Doc I installed the kt747 sprint tw kernel and this gets the Wifi working, screen rotation still have the problem. But at least wifi is working for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Lol! I was just about to post exactly that!

Confirmed! Ktoonsez latest kernel for Sprint ND8 is working and it fixes WiFi!! I did not think I would see that happen!

As stated screen rotation is still backwards, but I am still working on it and asking folks for advice! If WiFi can be fixed, certainly screen rotation can be as well!

Wouldn't that be awesome if this were to become a 100% fully working port!!?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh, and here is the kernel thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800576 .

I will add to the OP and incorporate it into an update pending permission.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
It would, You did an amazing job and im really impressed with how fast at least it feels to me compared with 4.3, and battery wise much better.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks! Hopefully now with wifi and the kt kernel, battery and performance will just get even better!

And if we can solve screen rotation, I can't see any reason for rom devs to hold off, unless they just prefer to wait for our official release. That'll be up to each of them of course.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] matrixzone:
Just waiting for screen rotation bug to be fixed, then i am good to go..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I would dearly love to flash this but Hotel WiFi is a torture to download. AFH is borked by firewall.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I just tried to flash on my t999l it did not boot up, tried to flash the rom with the kernel no luck, then just the ROM nothing as well, I'm on mk4 if it helps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
That was Clean Flash right ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Yupe factory reset, I even wiped dalvik and system cache
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You sure you have the full MK4 firmware including bootloader?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Yes I am sure
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In that case there could be other issues with the kernel. What is your current Rom ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Right now I'm running s3Rx, and I'm using dkp kernel if that helps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
When you flash this Rom, make sure to flash the Kitkat Touchwiz version KT747 Kernel for Sprint. That'd be after you flash the rom. Doc has linked that

Kernel on this page.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I did so because I read it would fix the WiFi, but even if I flash the ROM with the kernel it would not flash
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
What was the error? And what recovery are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I'm sorry I didn't mean flash, I meant it won't boot up, there's no flashing error, the ROM and the kernel flash, it just doesn't boot up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Was the flash successful ? Can you post the Recovery Log ? Its usually in /cache/recovery folder
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I'm not able to post the log, its too long
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Attach it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Taptalk wouldn't let me attach the file so I uploaded it to my drive here we go

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Make sure you're on a 4.3 bootloader and full firmware
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Okay went back and flashed the mk4 baseband and firmware just to make sure I had them, no luck it still doesn't boot up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I assume with KT's Sprint KK Kernel ? If yes then for the L model, the kernel is not compatible at all and bootstrapping it does for other models won't work for you.

Can somebody with an N or M device confirm this ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I tried flashed it with and without the kernel and the ROM won't boot up, someone with the mpcs version was able to boot it up, could it be only the L models?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beekiller1:
Any word on the rotation fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I am more curious to know the result on N models

Please Read on XDA rules that you agreed to when you signed up. It is extremely rude and insulting to ask for ETA in any shape or form.

I Have A t999n and run this Rom with the new it kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
Rotation

Flashed the new KT kernel from the ATT original forum. It fixed the rotation.:good: Also,thanks Doc!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Rotation issue fixed & confirmed -

Please flash latest KT747 Kernel for ATT / TMO from this post.The Rotation issue should be resolved.

So you are booting Ok ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lj27416:
APN Fix

Running on T999L with same rotation and wifi issues. Other than that no other issues have come. been almost 48hrs running.

i made a batch to autofix the apns missing issue.

here is the code:

@echo off

:start
adb push apns-conf.xml /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system"
adb shell su -c "rm -r /system/etc/apns-conf.xml"
adb shell su -c "cat /data/local/tmp/apns-conf.xml >> /system/etc/apns-conf.xml"
adb shell su -c "rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db"
adb shell su -c "rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal"
adb shell su -c "chmod 0644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml"
ECHO Press enter to reboot
pause
adb reboot
pause

Put the .bat file in same directory as adb.exe and also the attatched "apns-conf.xml"

Profit!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
What firmware were you on before you flashed this Rom ? Kindly also mention your bootloader version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lj27416:
I had full 4.3 bootloader/firmware for t999L

**edit**

i must add i have not flashed the above mentioned kernel. i will report back shortly with the results.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Which one nc1 or mk4? I have the same version but ROM won't boot up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lj27416:
Ok i did a clean wipe (factory reset/ format system) and Flashed rom then Touchwiz KITKAT 4.4.2 zip kernel booting up i have wifi + rotation fixed!

Hell yeah!

:) will let you know if any other bugs come to me.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Lol! Looks like im a little late to the party today! Yes! Huge, HUGE Thanks to ktoonsez for his kernel! That guy is just too cool!

Unfortunately ive got to get my daughter to her softball game now, so ill check in when I can, but will update everything when I get home tonight!

To the guy who couldnt get it to boot. How long did you wait. I had to wait much longer than usual on 2 of my flashes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Yes im booting fine and fast and have been running it all day
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
The thing is, once the Samsung logo shows up the screen goes black, I waited for about 5 minutes and nothing happened, should I wait longer than that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I seem to keep getting an FC on Google Play Store. I have wiped dalvik/cache and even cleared data on Google Play Store and Google Play Services.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
do a Factory Reset.

Anyone Else missing APNs or any APN issue ?

APN = Access Point Names. This is usually listed under Settings >More >Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

Or the Touchwiz equivalent path. Everyone should see epc.t-mobile.com and Fast.t-mobile.com
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Still not working. :(

---EDIT--- It doesn't seem like anybody else is having this issue, so I'm thinking it's because I'm setting it up via Multiboot on the internal SD card. Going to flash it again on Multiboot via external SD to see if it makes a difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Has anyone tried this with the latest multiboot recovery?

Also, what tw features still exist?

Specifically multi window? I use that regularly (as in many times a day) so I kinda need it to run on my internal ROM.

As of now I'm multibooting S3rx and resurrection ROMs.

Oh, and tethering via WiFi or USB? Has anyone tried?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lj27416:
I've been tethering via WiFi and there's no issues at all. On that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
It started working again in the morning it's something on metro pcs end, I have this running again with the new kernel you posted everything is working fine :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You may want to switch to the KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz 4.4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
Yes that's the new kernel I mentioned I flashed, the S5 Launcher I got is giving me major battery drain tho :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Okay so I want to update my firmware and baseband so I can use this ROM, I'm going from mk4 to nc1; now the only files available under doc's signature are zip files, but under firm are its says that those files should be used with Odin, but Odin only takes tar files, do I flash through recovery or what?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beekiller1:
Lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I did, but only a couple of times. Not sure why. Walk away and let it go for about 10 min, just to be safe.

Also, with the kt kernel

I would choose English at initial setup wait a min and have to choose it again. Then I'd have to let the screen time out for it to move beyond the "just a sec" message. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it.

play store works just fine for me, for the most part. Got errors when testing and trying to buy a paid app. Haven't tried today yet as I haven't had any spare time, but free apps and already purchased ones install just fine.

Default apn's should be identical to NC2. Use manual setup in post 3 (I think) for metro pcs users.

thanks for the update on that! Glad to hear its all working now!

I'm not quite sure what you are looking at. Are you going to my firmware thread via my Sig link? All firmware is there ready to use with Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Yeah I downloaded it from the thread on your sig but they're zip files? But I'll give it another try and let it sit while I go out see if it works out
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh wait....are you talking about the root66 firmware? They are actually .7z files (same thing, more or less). Extract the .tar.md5 from the .7z and then flash in Odin. The only other zip files in that thread are ota's which you don't need.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Doc, my post was in reference to lj27416's post regarding APN issues and the patch he posted. Since I have not flashed yet, I do not know the situation.

EDIT - [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] has updated the TW Kernel so as to make it insecure. Here's updated link.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] matrixzone:
Doc the mobile alarm dint work for me.. Didnt worked on the intended time.. Any fixes??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, thanks. Must've missed that. Been a busy day so was trying to keep up as best as I could. Hard to read sometimes in this summer sun! Ugh, hottest day yet this year. Doesn't help concentration much either!

Just got home so I'm gonna catch up on some things here and round the house. Will update the rom and op after.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I just want to re-express my gratitude to [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] for all of his work and especially for creating his kernel which appears to have been the final puzzle piece we needed to call this a DD! I've always heard great things about his character, and from what I have seen today, they are all true!

I asked him if he had any advice regarding the situation and he responded to basically say he would see if he could get something going for us. An hour and a half later we had a new kernel and fully working Rom!

I don't know a lot about kernel cooking, but I am pretty sure it takes a lot of talent to pull that off! (Consider for a moment that we have no kernel source for the I747 or T999!)

There have been several people whose contributions to this rom were invaluable, and he is definitely one of them!

Hats off to you sir, and Thank You again!!! :cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you ever get to download it? If you're still at a hotel I can upload my next update to my dev-host account as an extra mirror if you think it'd help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Richcar:
another alternative download link would be nice
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill look into permanently mirroring it if you guys really think its needed. AFH automatically mirrors everything on several servers and you can choose which you want on the download page. Ime, its also faster than dev host and SourceForge.

Is there some reason AFH hasn't been working out? Other than the hotel firewall in Perseus71's way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry I haven't got the rom and op update done yet everyone! Every time I turn around today I'm getting pulled away! I've got to crash for a while but should be able to get it done fairly early tomorrow (or today depending on your sleeping habits!) It won't be anything major this time around. Mostly incorporating the fixes to the issues we had. I may make a lightly modified version as well. We shall see.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Still on the road. The thing is, hotel does allow all the hosts including AFH. But they are slower than a dialup. The download that I started 2 days ago, completed last evening. I will be flashing that in a bit. At work there's firewall blocking AFH didn't try dev-host though.

After you update the rom with the latest KT747, please do host on dev-host. Hopefully I can make it work. Otherwise I will bite the bullet and sacrifice a chunk of my mobile data.

Its ok Doc. We all understand RL will always take precedence. Do when you can, what you can.

Do kindly note, KT has updated the TW kernel again to add init.d and couple of other fixes. So you may want to grab that before you proceed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4b3ck:
I know ... probably stupid question I am on MJ2 bootloader & MJB modem (ATT S3 i747), is it possible flash this rom + KT747 kernel?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
It should be ok as long as they're both 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4b3ck:
Hmm.. didn't noticed that [MENTION=3760726]saranhai[/MENTION] have version for ATT based on this rom, and looks like nobody with MJ2 bootloader tried flash yet. Thanks anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I think after 38 times and not booting up I can safely say that for the L models that are on mk4 bootloaders, this ROM wont boot up lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Richcar:
For me I couldn't get it to download on my S3 tried like 4 time over wifi and each it stopped at like 50% and said unsuccessful I tried stock and chrome browsers with same results and space is not the issue because I have lots of space both internal and external finally get it download on my computer today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ivoe:
Maybe wifi issue if it drops or fluctuates. Other then that long downloads fail alot if you try to go do something else (facebook games and ect on phone) may even just been download source sometimes they need constant watch meaning not letting phone sleep (some roms have tweak were wifi turns off on sleep)

Anyways would love to try this but ill have to wait for custom roms built from some of these cx
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Do understand AFH hosts do get DDOS attack once a day or more. So better switch to a different AFH Server. In additon don't use the System Downloader instead use the one from ES File Explorer. That one will continue irrespective of whatever else you might be doing on the phone.

Doc, I tried out the Rom. I wasn't hopefule but did it anyway. The reason I wasn't hopeful was that I have UVDMD5 bootloader and not either of the 4.3 bootloaders (Not planning to and you know why) . Long story short, the flash went fine and so did the Kernel flash. Phone just would not boot. No signs of life period.

I pulled the battery then turned on again. This time waited 11 minutes. Still no signs of boot or life. Finally pulled the battery again and this time went to recovery and restored my Nandroid. This confirmed that something in the Rom does look for correct bootloader before booting. Ah well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Feel free to give it a shot and let us know. The MJ2 bootloader was the original AT&T 4.3 leak though so it is old and is a bit different from the official releases. If you have any performance issues or bugs not being reported by others, do let us know, but also update your firmware to see if that solves the issue.

I've no idea why it isn't working for you. Except maybe the firmware needs to be updated. If you like, try updating to the NC1 firmware. I am pretty certain this was reported working on both the T999L and N models already.

Just being thorough, but did you try the alternative mirrors provided at AFH? I will go ahead and mirror from my SourceForge account just in case though. Immorality is right about several factors which can cause the failure though. In wifi advanced, also make sure auto network switching is off. Sorry for the trouble you had. Except one time, AFH has always been the fastest and most reliable online storage sites I've ever used! SF is also very reliable, but not as fast imo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Two days! Ouch! If you want to test dev host, most of my early modems are mirrored from there if I remember correctly. Ill use SourceForge as my mirror most likely but let me know if you have different results from either site when its ready. Ill do what I can to help find something that works for you.

Thanks for all your help in this thread (and everywhere!) btw!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Anytime Doc. If I can help I will. Just checked, Dev Host (http://d-h.st) firewalled. Can try Sourceforge but think I will do ok there. Did you see my Rom Results ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just saw it. You must've posted while I was writing. Happens to me all the time!

Thanks for confirming the requirement for the bootloader. CNexus had the exact same results. That does suck though. I really wish you could as I'd love your input, but I do understand you can't. No worries there though. Im sure there will be plenty of input from everyone else!

My guess is SourceForge would probably work since it hosts so many great projects already and any decent IT department would want access to that! If it does work and you ever need something you cant otherwise get, let me know and ill upload whatever you need there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks Doc. I appreciate the offer and your time.

When it comes to the Rom itself, I am going to look into the code to see if there is a way to bypass this issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Bug Report: In the AT&T thread it was reported that video playback is extremely choppy. I've confirmed this on my device as well. I will be looking into this as soon as im done with this next update, but if anyone can test and report back for extra confirmation, I'd appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I can confirm as well, but at least YouTube videos still work fine
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It appears that its having trouble with higher video resolutions. If you record a video at 720x480 playback works fine......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
that sounds like Decoder Problem if anything. I'd try MX Player or some such app which lets you pick and choose where to use Software decoder and where to use hardware one. The phone has a good hardware one. So I'd set the app to hardware only. Samsung's software one can go take a hike.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Okay so after updating firmware I was able to flash and boot the Rom, clearly you have to be on the latest possible firmware in order for the rom to work, although I have a hiccup a message keeps popping up saying it wasn't able to connect to a network

EDIT

Got it working, had to remove the sim card and manually input the apn for tmobile so far everything else is working
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Check APN Settings
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What model are you using again? Apn should have automatically populated, not sure what happened there. Upcoming update has additional apn's added to apns-conf.xml, so hopefully no one will have to manually enter theirs anymore, regardless of carrier.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
I'm using the L model, but everything is good no new bugs found, keep up the great work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] veritasaequita:
The only issue I'm having is while a power cord is plugged into the phone it will not power off. It just keeps starting back up. It is blazing through batteries because of this, I really hope I can fix it while I've hit this 33% left.

Forgot to mention that I'm on the ktoon kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Does it not charge for you while turned on for some reason? How is it eating up you battery if it is plugged in? Its always charged faster while on than off for me, believe it or not! But I can confirm that it will not stay off while charging. I will look into this. Thought it might be the warmboot value in the build.prop, but changing it to 0 did not do anything.

I think I am close to figuring out the cause of the video playback bug! I've gotta take a break to take care of some other things, but will be back on this in a bit. I am going to hold off on the update though until I solve that. Thanks for everyones patience!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] veritasaequita:
I did notice something pop up while opening ktweaker about some values not being the same, I wonder if that has anything to do with it or even in the right direction. Just an observation I think
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Video playback bug.....SQUASHED!!!

Bout to test flash the update and if all goes well I will post as soon as its uploaded!
