I have deleted couple of apks for debloating the ROM. Now i don's have the Samsung Clock/Personal message widget on my phone. I dont see the option of Clock on the notification lock screen. Other options like calendar appear on the lock screen widget options

Can you help me with the name of the apk?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
No. You need to flash a bootloader/modem package before flashing ROM...see OP

I did not need to flash it for this to work because I am already on 4.3 bootloader and modem. If you are not already on 4.3 bootloader, then yes, you would need to flash it prior to flashing this rom as the other person suggested.

What bootloader and modem are you currently running?

Just wanted to chime in with another success story. I am on MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem.

1) Upgraded to TWRP 2.7.1.0

2) Downloaded the odexed ROM, ktoonsez kernel, and SuperSU 2.0 just in case.

3) Flashed (without wipe/reset) in the order listed above.

Everything worked fine. I'm going to do my wife's phone today.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazedout:
Hey [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION], thanks for your fix! I understand that kitkat has globally disabled external SD card writes - however, what I don't understand is why internal SD card writes are also disabled when SELinux is set to enforcing. I imagine this isn't the case on a purely unrooted, KNOX-enabled stock rom. Would this be a quirk caused by us flashing a rooted stock ROM? Could you shed some light on this issue? :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If im not mistaken, its related to not allowing apps to read/write to any folder but their own. In the past any app could potentially read any data on internal or external sdcards, making it a potential security problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazedout:
Hmmm - I was under the impression that the "write to own folder only" issue was only applicable to the external SD card, whereas internal storage would work like it did in jellybean. Basically I just find it odd that people need an insecure kernel to get writes to internal storage working - wouldn't this cause a massive ****storm on the ATT/Sprint/Verizon forums? I'm wondering if we could be missing some sort of SELinux policy that stock roms have...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tejajuloori:
stock 4.4.2 after OTA from 4.3 had no problems with writing to internal storage
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazedout:
Yeah - we must be missing something in this ROM that forces us to use an insecure kernel. Gotta track down what it

[MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION]: For your insecure kernel mod, shouldn't "setenforce 0" also be present in the "on property:sys.boot_completed=1" section in init.rc? That was the only way I could get permissive selinux on boot - I'm thinking (I'm not an android dev though) it could be a race condition between sys.boot_completed=1 and init.svc.bootanim=stopped due to both sections calling selinux_restore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Saqib Mushtaq 74:
but it thought it was only bootloader specific and there is very small difference between i747 and i747m
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The internal sdcard problem may be root related then....I know I figured it out before! Just have information overload! Ill have to go back and reread some of my posts from a few months ago.

And as for the insecure kernels ive posted, setenforce should already be 0. Im fairly confident I didn't make any mistakes on any kernels I've posted in these forums. (Im sure someone mentioned it to me...) did you find a kernel missing the line, or with it set to 1? Which one? Can you link me to the post where you found it. I literally post in hundreds of threads so if you're asking about something specific like that its much much easier if you can link to the kernel or to the post with the link.....

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------

There may only be small differences (I don't know). But even the tiniest changes can have great effects. And even though the two drvices are similar, they are not the same and have always run different firmware from each other. Even two I747M's may have different firmware because each carriers is specifically tailored to their needs.

But more importantly in this case, if you used an I747 debrick.img on an I747M, its simply not going to work. And even if it did, it would then only allow you to flash the I747 firmware, which would only further brick the device if it didn't fail outright.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazedout:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you are on 4.3 firmware its expected the kernels won't quite work right. If you are updated to 4.4.2 firmware im not sure. In either case, use the kt747 kernel instead. I still haven't been able to fix my S3 so im not able to do much troubleshooting myself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Carsus55:
I was originally having so many problems on this rom with 4.3 firmware and kt kernel I was afraid of using the kt kernel again. Seems to be OK on 4.4.2 firmware though.

Ideally I'd like a stock kernel. My phone just seems to like stock better.

You beat me to it. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krazedout:
Yep, everything works good. If DocHoliday's kernel doesn't work for you try using my modded ramdisk. It's taken from the stock NE4 kernel, but I basically added setenforce 0 into two areas of init.rc. (on property:init.svc.bootanim=stopped and on property:sys.boot_completed=1) This should force (with high probability) SElinux to permissive on boot without having to run any additional commands.

Flash in custom recovery. (I whipped up the update-script real quick so just tell me if it doesn't work.)

Oh my rom, yea that'll work just fine. I've been working on improving battery life. I suggest since you're on NE4 firmware to use the kernel that he added to the OP. :good:

I'm tempted to update mine and use it but I'd like to make it available in my ROM to the users like me that are stuck in the past with our bootloader and modem. I took a liking to enewman17's stock kernel on 4.3 though and thought it was smoother than the others I had tried.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It is possible. Otherwise kt747 wouldn't work. You'll need to somehow get the stock modules though. For some reason, beginning in 4.3, Samsung started building the modules into the base firmware (at least, that's where I believe they are now). But when you flash a modded kernel it wants to use the modules on the /system partition, but they aren't there anymore. (At least not all of them)

Kt747 works because it includes these modules with the kernel. Im not sure how, but I believe you'd have to build the kernel from source and modify it to use the modules the old way and im guessing you'd be building them alongside the kernel. (Some of this may not be exactly spot on (probably isn't), im not well versed in kernel building. But that's how ive been led to understand it.)

You might want to check with ktoonsez and see if he can lend you some of his genius in this area.

I'm thinking for the i747m users they have a completely different apk. Will post one shortly in my thread and here to see if that works. In future releases this apk will be bypassed if it works how it used to. This is what I did to my tetheringprovision.apk but the links I added below allow you to delete tetheringprovision.apk.

This is the guide by jovy23 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057344

This is what I did to tetheringprovision.apk before removing it http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/development/mod-enable-native-att-tmobile-wifi-t2801442

So looking through the NE6 base I found why this doesn't work for them. There is no tetheringprovision.apk and whats needed in it isn't in ours. I edited the framework-res so it doesn't look for it and have made a flashable to delete the apk and update your framework. This will also enable bluetooth and usb tethering.

This will replace your framework-res with the one that I only modified what is in this guide to fix wifi tethering for those it won't work for and add bluetooth and usb tethering back in. This is completely stock themed without any other modifications added.
