First! Wow First Port Awesome Work Doc! Quick Question, Can This Be Flashed On T999L?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
Thanks Doc great job.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I don't see any reason why not. If you have any issues you should be able to just restore your android backup or reflash your previous rom or firmware.

If you do give it a try please report back to let us know for sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
I will after it downloads ~25 mins. Let you know with an update in the am
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Forgot to link to the original rom thread by CNexus. Ill add it to the op shortly, taking a break from the computer for a few min.

For now, here is the thread.

have 8 minutes left on my download going to try and flash to my t999n and see what happens
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
Splendid job as always Doc!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
i install and everything works(including the screen rotation) but my data isn't working on Metro pcs, any idea how i could fix this

Edit: Fixed it had to manually put in the APN settings everything working now =]
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You'll probably need to manually enter your apn. I'm not sure what it should be but a quick Google search should net you some good results.

Thank you for trying it out on your T999N btw! This means it should also work just fine on the T999L.

When you say screen rotation works, when you go landscape its not upside down?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
Double checked the rotation it is upside down >.<, was so excited i didn't even notice. I attached screenies of the MetroPCS Apn settings if anyone needs them
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
So it appears in your screenshots that the apn did fix mobile data, right?

I'm pretty sure the screen rotation issue is in the kernel somewhere. I'm looking into it and waiting to hear back from someone else who might have an idea on what to look for.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
yes the apn worked like a charm =). everything is working perfect now except the WiFi, my LTE speeds are faster than my wifi so i don't even care XD
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Awesome! Im glad to hear that! Just wanted to be sure!

Let me know if you have any further issues, and let us all know what you think of running TW KK!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill add the MPCS to one of the first posts in case anyone else needs it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
Besides the wifi and screen rotation im having gps issues google maps and the weather widget dont find my location, dont know if someone has the same issue. Other than that everything else works perfectly amazing job Doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Try downloading and installing GPS Test by Chartcross. Run it and give it a few moments to find satellites and your location. It should narrow it down to several feet. Now try your maps and weather.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Which APN are you looking for ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
b.t.w, does this ROM has Knox?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Not to my knowledge.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks for the reports! Will be looking into these.

And ART is not in this update im afraid. Can anyone confirm the maps and phone crashing issues? Havent tested maps yet but havent had any problems with calls.

I actually did that with this update. Somehow I missed some parts of the apns when copying and manually entering the extra apns. Not sure at all what happened though...thought I was being more careful!

Thanks for giving it a try. Obviously its not for everyone and we still have a few things to work out. It is unfortunate about so many apps not working now, but hopefully more devs will start updating their apps to function properly on kk. Once they do itll be better for everyone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What happens when you try to enter it?

Nope. You can pretty safely expect any and all roms to have knox removed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Fixed Maps!

Temporary solution is to browse to /system/app/Gms_Maps.apk and tap on it to install as an "update".

Once i get the resr of the reported issues, Ill make a flashable update zip in addition to the updated rom. That way those of you who have already flashed 2.0 dont have to download the full rom again. This is my hope anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
When I click the plus sign to add an APN nothing happens.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok thank you for the report! Had an AT&T guy report the same, so whatever the mistake I made is, its aparently affecting the whole file. I am trying to make an apn-conf.xml that includes all T-Mobile, AT&T and all their variants and carriers apns. That way we can just use it in all our roms and not have to worry about it at all anymore!

Even though the apn is not there, and you cant add one, is it working to send both sms and mms? Can you send yourself one of each to test for me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
Sure

Edit: Yes Sms

NO MMS RECEIVE OR SEND
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, same issue on the AT&T one. This is what ive asked them to do, hopefully itll be a temporary solution for now:

Browse to /system/etc. You will see 3 apn-conf files. Rename apns-conf.xml to apns-conf.xml.bak1. Then remove the .bak from the other and reboot. (Ignore the sprint one)

Check if the apn is listed and if you can now add one manually.

You can either give it a shot now or wait till I hear if it works or not from the other guy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
Doc does the wifi icon suppose to look like this or like in the first port. The blue one its from the first port and the black one from the yesterday version. In the new version the icon is smaller looks misaligned.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Its like that in the first port too, I had changed the build.prop to T-Mobile s3 and I got it like that too, when Doc changed it is the same thing.. If you want the previous sprint icons change d2tmo in build.prop to d2spr and reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joseyamil7:
Thanks will give it a try.

PS- It worked thanks a lot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Confirmed, this is our temporary solution. And i forgot but the old one is named apns-conf-old.xml.bak. rename it to apns-conf.xml for now. Working on updsting the OP. Will add these temp solutions there.

Nice! Good eye man! Probably wouldve taken me ages to figue out, so I wasnt even going to bother with it for now! Thanks for the heads up!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Just glad to help! I hope that's not how they plan to do the icon for our model
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im having issues sending mms with WiFi on. Seems to be ok when using mobile data though. Can anyone check this to confirm please?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
Works perfect now man. Ma is gonna love it lmao :D Great work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
can't flash using twrp 7.0

do we have to use cwm? or am I doing something wrong?:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Worked fine for me using TWRP 2.7.0.0.

What is happening? If its a flashing problem, make sure you copy log to sd after the attempt.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
Keeps gonig back to recovery,I can flash kitkat cm but not this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In TWRP, the phone does not reboot automatically after the flash. It will give you a choice of Reboot, Wipe Dalvik + Chache and Back. Wipe the two then hit back and Reboot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Also, if you are not updated to 4.3 firmware it will not boot, and might instead reboot into recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP updated!

Pretty much rewrote the whole thing. Fixes to all known bugs are listed there. I wont be able to work on the rom again till later tonight, so hopefully that will get everyone by until then.

Thanks to everyone whos been testing, reporting and helping! Let me know if you discover anything new.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
using latest firmware

doesn't eevn flsh over kitkat. will try again later. thanks:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Firmware is not the same as a ROM, you need to have updated to 4.3 MJC/NC2 through either Odin/kies/OTA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] parkave85:
Just thought I would let ppl know that I flashed on mjc firmware with no issues. Aside from the APN thing which has already been discussed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] striker661:
I'm on the metro PCs lte variant(t999n). Though I don't have the mentioned modems and firmware it is a 4.3 version. I'm on the nc1 modem. Will gladly guinea pig and post results. Wish me luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks! I probably should be more specific about it in the OP. Its been confirmed working on the T999L and T999N models. But, the more who try it the better! Looking forward to your feedback!

I think its the 3rd post that has the mpcs apn if you need it btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Just like that guy who can't flash it, it was the same for me until I updated my firmware to nc1 so try that out and it should work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
I have updated my software and now that apn is fixed mms works
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
One more bug (I can logcat in about two hours if you want) I found.

APN seems to randomly switch from Metro pcs to T-Mobile.

I get data and calls on both apns but no LTE on T-Mobile which is how I noticed.

This may explain the voicemail issue I had this morning.

I can dump a continuous log unless you know what other specific commands I can run to save you time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Try changing epc.tmobile.com to fast.tmobile.com.. That's the APN for LTE.. Hopefully that will fix it, or just edit the T-Mobile APN to metro for the meantime.. Metro and T-Mobile apns should be backwards compatible. This has been my experience however, if you have problems with it then stick to the metro APN
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
The problem is the switching of the APN without me telling the phone to do so.

I think it may explain my phone fc issue this morning.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I know that's why I said for the meantime.. or delete all other apns
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] striker661:
Did a nandroid and full wipe and this ROM is running flawless. First flash is yesterdays build though. Everything seems to running without a hiccup and haven't ran into any FCS other than dolphin browser but its expected since I'm using the hacked kitkat flash player lol. Good work doc! Will be my daily until official touch wiz kitkat drops for us.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beekiller1:
I can't seem to get it to boot I wiped everything coming from cm11 nothing. I flashed tw 4.3 and wiped also still nothing I feel like I'm the only one that can't get it to boot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Try flashing s3rx and dirty flashing (no wipes at all) this ROM. Worked for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beekiller1:
I'll try it out bro thxx
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What exactly did you flash? The 4.3 firmware, or just a 4.3 rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beekiller1:
A ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Make sure you flash the full 4.3 firmware, as stated many times in this thread the ROM won't take without the firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
Found my no flash-boot back to recovery issue. I had phone on charger each time. Once unplugged works as advertised. Thanks. Doc and everyone associated with this Rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually, if you want to test, try just flashing the NC2 modem first. One report in the AT&T thread said thats all he had to do. I still will recommend being on full 4.3 firmware, but if its confirmed to just be the modem I will add it to the op.

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION], do you know what your baseband version was when you tried the rom? Or did you hold off on it?

Uninstall and reinstall from play store
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famousk:
Yea I just did it works perfectly now thanks :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
I can't get my data to work. I have a T999L
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you try the apn fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I think I've got what could be a final build for you guys. Gonna do a little more testing and if everything still runs ok, ill get it uploaded and posted asap!

This apn issue has been a pain to fix believe it or not! For some reason (probably an obvious one I've overlooked), any change I made to any existing apns-conf.xml would result in it not working! Found an existing one that I think will cover all our needs. Hopefully it'll be solved for everyone this time!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
Do we need to update if all is good?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
I tried but it still didn't work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I do recommend it, but if you've got everything running the way you like its probably not necessary. If you are at that point, but still want to update, you might consider waiting to hear reports from others if its working as expected. I'm not expecting any new bugs, but you never know!

2.1 is uploading now. Maybe try it when its ready. Hopefully it'll solve most all issues folks have been dealing with.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
OP Updated!!!

OP Updated!

Changelog (Post3) Updated

T999_Sprint_ND8_PORT_2.1 is ready to download!

Make sure you read the added Instructions section before flashing!

woo thanks doc! 2.1 works flawless, i have SGH-T999! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
Thanks Doc! :good:

Confirmed that the latest 4.3 firmware isn't needed to boot this ROM yet?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gabe05:
Latest firmware it is needed, you will be able to flash but not boot up without it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
I heard someone got it booting on MD5 firmware and the latest 4.3 modem (NC2) and it booted but I just need confirmation that it is true or if someone else has tried it and failed....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I think it was a misunderstanding as they were on an older leaked version of 4.3. So it still holds that you need to be updated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The rom so far is working fantastic for me! Im assuming that the slow down in the whole forum is because its the weekend, but is still a promising sign that im not seeing any new issues come up! I figure ill give it a day (depending on reports from everyone) and if its still good we can call this one done!

I may try to incorporate some mods into a secondary release, but dont expect a whole lot right away as i am just nowhere near as good as some of the other devs at modding roms! I will try though!

Thanks for everyones patience, testing and reporting! All of you helped me more than you probably realize!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

When it is done, you can find it here, if anyone has problems with AFH:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
Update works very well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
Great! I'm seriously considering to update my bootloader to try this ROM but I want to know what new features are in this ROM that differ it from the 4.3 JB Firmwares.

Is there any difference in camera? How about gimmick features like smart stay are those available? Is it the touchWiz like the one on the S5? Are widgets different in design? Is the font setting customizable? Is the multi-window (split screen) feature still available? Is power saving mode available? Are the TouchWiz apps like music and video player available?...... Some screenshots would be helpful as well...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CNexus:
There are practically no visual changes but that doesn't mean that it's not good. You should read up on what changes kitkat brings first.

If you're wanting a revamped UI, you're in the wrong place. You're not gonna get that from a stock rom, even if you were updating to android 12.0 or whatever.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jdsingle76:
http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
It looks just like the jelly bean TouchWiz UI with the added kitkat features
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
I'm aware of Kitkat features and low resource consumption, I just thought there would have been added features like the 1st 4.3 update with a more updated camera etc....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] revwillie:
Yeah, good times. 4.3 was a HUGE step up for the GSIII. I finally got my Bluetooth goodies and better voice search. Plus it just did a better job of resource management. I'm running 4.4.2 on my G2 and it is dog slow. I know it's supposed to be an improvement over 4.3, but it didn't seem any better than 4.3 on my GSIII. Again, props to Doc for bringing us the early touchwiz leaks and ports. I'll try a 4.4 T-Mobile leak if Doc makes it happen. For now though, I'm sticking with S3Rx as my DD.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
This ROM is just as good as any DD, except this is KitKat and I feel its faster and more responsive than 4.3, big props to Doc for always bringing leaks and early goodies ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
If we're simply upgrading this rom to the latest build do we have to wipe or can we dirty flash?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
I dirty flashed -works well for me

:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
Flashed this afternoon. Works perfectly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
Is anyone else getting these random text messages? If so how do I stop it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I too confirm that this Rom don't boot with MD5 firmware + NC2 modern.

I tried and it just vibrates only once but won't be booting

I am planning to update firmware to NC2 tomorrow to use this Rom

I'm getting them also
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allenjthomsen:
Just changed build.prop info from d2ltetmo to kltetmo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Nice find.. But change to kltespr if you want the WiFi icon fixed :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trofmoc:
yeah, me too

nothing but gibberish. got at least 3 or 4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
what carrier are you guys with? What model is your device? The only time ive seen this was several years ago, but I think it was a carrier message or something like that. Try searching xda and google. Ill try to find it as well.

yup, to cear the confusion, it was in the AT&T forums where people were saying it was confirmed working on the MJ2 bootloader. This was their original leaked 4.3 firmware and I guess some took it as saying it worked on pre-4.3.

That is awesome guys! Great find!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
Howd u get ur stat bar like that

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

How do i get the old 4gLTE icon back, by old i mean the one from the first build, and i dont care for the wifi icon so thats a non factor
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just change the build.prop values. Use kltetmo if you want T-Mobiles data icon. klteatt for AT&Ts icon, or kltespr for the fixed wifi and sprints data icon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zul8er:
Tmobile S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
SGH-T999L
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
So its happening only to one on a T999, one on a T999L, and one on an I747. (Two on tmobile, one on AT&T)

Only two things I can think of that might be causing are either restored data, or something from the carriers side.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NexusS4gFreak:
I made a huge mistake! So I really love Eloise and I made the very dumb mistake of flashing the ios emojis mod for 4.4 amd now not only can I not view them system wide anymore, when I go to that portion of the keyboard its a hunch of blank icons I can't type or see, anyway to revert??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Reflash the rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
On the gibberish text messages, I am almost certain its a carrier/network thing. Searching it out youd see a lot of the same reported on many carriers on many devices over the past several years. I just cant find where I found a good answer in the past.

You guys might want to flash back to stock or a previous rom, and then try this one again tomorrow or in a few days. I know thats not a real solution, but I cant believe its the rom on its own. If it were thered be more reports of it.

Im not saying the rom isnt part of it, as itll probably stop by flashing another one, but it may be a combination.

When was the last time you got a new sim card btw? Older sims have been known to cause issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
It started after I flashed this Rom so I'm thinking it has nothing to do with my carrier
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Perhaps, but ive seen many, many times where someone would have an issue right after flashing a rom, blame the rom, and the find the next day it was a network issue. This most often occusr when someone looses 4g or something like that and the coincidence just seems too far fetched for them to believe.

All I'm saying is dont rule it out. If only 3 out of at least several hundred people have reported it, it makes it extremely hard to pinpoint any cause, and even harder to fix.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ckisgen:
Happening here as well. T999 on T-Mobile. I get 2 to 3 texts every day like this. Awesome annoying.

On a lighter note - sending MMS with WiFi on works fine for me using 8sms - the free CM SMS port app from Play Store, which is my preferred messaging app anyway as it's super fast, has quick reply, multiple vibration options, custom LED settings, list goes on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shonmac11:
Either way this is going to be my DD for a very long time ????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you get them before using this rom too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks! I do apologize to anyone having that happen. Im not hoping it happens to me or more people, but if it does it may make it easier to figure out.

Keep us posted on any info you guys might dig up and ill do the same.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ckisgen:
Nope.
