Is there no way to change the home screen theme without reinstalling the ROM?

Nevermind, just found it :eek: I forgot about the Menu button on this old phone :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
I remember a few qualms with safestrap in the past on other devices. On a couple devices you had to flash a kernel in order to get back into safe strap and or Android. Is this predicament the same? Example nc2 flasher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
This was meant for S4 and S5 not S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
Yes. I know that. I was just asking if it pertains to this device as well.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Any roms can flash with safestrap? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I think there are 2 roms only my superliterom and maybe another one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
Were you ever able to implement the navigation bar on this rom? I have tried editing build prop and even installing GravityBox to install navigation bar and I keep getting system UI has crashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Sure, I will fix it when I got my device back from a friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
Is there something I can do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
Would not all you have to do is add qemu in build prop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
No, I need to fix SystemUI.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryspring:
Were you able to update it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
When I got the device in my hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
you answered all of your own questions but ill gladly recap:

yup, stock rom (no customizations)

yup, has root (kinda need root and safestrap to flash it to begin with(yup can use rooted apps))

as for cracked apps, you wont find too many supporters of stealing apps around here, but rooted or not you can generally install that crap too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
I tried this and it did not work. I need corporate exchange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Anyone else having an issue where plugging in charger from PC causes phone to reboot?

The stock rom (Verizon) does not do this for some reason. I'm using a zero lemon, standard motorola USB cable. Works on my other devices without any issues, must be software related. I get a crash and have to pop the battery to restart the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
nope, nothing of the sort happening to me on this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Can you write down the names of apks you need.

Happen to me with non samsung usb cable. Its Safestrap issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Trying a wall charger with AmazonBasics USB cable gives me a small red x on battery icon.

edit: Ok I restarted with the cable still plugged in and it's now charging. Workaround - in case you're on the go, which I will be in a few weeks. I don't have a OEM Samsung cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
my cable is from one of my old htc phones and i havent had this problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Are you using a USB hub or directly plugged into your PC port?

Are you using a wall charger? Any info I'm grateful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
This is a nice rom very fast and smooth. But its too light. No Gmail, corporate exchange email, voice to text on the keyboard. Is there a way I can add them somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Wall charger and some original cable are ok. But nokia cable or some chinese cable will reboot the device.

Only cable connected to pc causes reboot.

Tryed wicked rom from sprint thread, issue with Safestrap not the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Ok thanks. At least I know it's not hardware related. This will be my last Samsung phone unless an unlocked bootloader is achieved for sure! :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
im using a HTC usb cable directly into my usb port with no issues

also still use my htc wall charger without any issues.

no issues with it plugged into either of my computers, both usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Ok thanks. I have a HTC charger laying around from my original Dinc. I'll see if I get problems with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Emalasto:
Thats happening to me on the stock rom and its only with the oem samsung cable. It still charges just fine it's just weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Download from playstore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
I cant find them do you have names? or APK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Well what you have to get speech. To text is download Google search and them in language and input you would check google voice typing and them you would have your mic on the keyboard for Gmail it's that's simple go to google play store and type gmail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
i will try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Gmail, google keyboard, and I believe MailWise does corporate exchange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Mine just started doing this. Bought a brand new Samsung USB cable. Works fine on wall charger, but if I plug the cable to the USB port on the computer, it reboots. It will bootloop until I disconnect the cable, then boots fine. Doesn't happen on the wall charger. Wiped phone, odin'd NE1, installed unofficial safestrap, created new ROM slot and installed ROM, same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
If the "red X" appears, it means it's charging at a low rate or something - contrary to what I initially believed at no charge at all.

I switched to stock ROM and removed SS, and I still get the red X, but it does charge. My main problem was the freeze/lock up which I simply cannot have.

Back to freezing bloatware with TB. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Finn81:
is gsm supported?can`t find an option in settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes.

on this rom now

very fast and stable

issues:

downloaded google dialer flashable zip and it force closes when i try to open it

and "OK Google" detection only gives you the option in the search app not outside of it or if the screen is locked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Musicaddict91:
Has anyone else had an issue with video playback being very glitchy in the gallery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Yep. Tried playing a video I recorded on the phone the day before, and it is choppy, almost like 1 frame at a time... Went back to the factory ROM slot and it plays perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Musicaddict91:
Same, tried putting the rom on stock slot, same issue. MX video player worked okay when set to software encoder. Maybe a video driver issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ned4spd8874:
Yep, stock rom works fine, this ROM does not. I don't think I have any other cables either...I'll have to dig around.

Found two other cables, one really short and one really long, but both have the same reboot problems. Guess it's back to stock...*shudder*! :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
SafeStrap issue, the ROM is probably fine. We're just very limited. I find myself content with just root on stock ROM for now. Although I miss the nandroids and using AOSP ROMs haha. Wonders of a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
*knocks on wood* guess im just lucky, zero issues with this rom or the unofficial safestrap on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cutterstark:
also have USB reboot issue but with Samsung OEM cable

When I plug into my computer my Samsung III goes into a reboot cycle. Even when using Samsung OEM cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Yes this is a problem with safestrap. Although not everyone in this thread is experiencing the problem. Are you using the stock battery? Is the battery near "charged" or near "empty" by any chance? I recently discovered I won't get the red X if I charge near empty vs. full.

To get rid of the reboots I had to flash back the stock rom until a fix is provided.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulPizz:
anybody else having issues with the video player? it plays audio just fine but the video is like slow motion frames or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
OP could you make a stock rom with the following below, so we could have a faster rom but let us choose what programs to freeze. Your rom you made is super fast and I love it thumbs UP, but there is just too much stuff removed that I like and need.

Fully De-odexed

Rooted.

De-Knoxed.

BusyBox.

SuperSU v2.00

Latest ZipAling.

No kernel (boot.img) not necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Sorry i was very busy will upload flashable zip (full and lite)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XNO:
You are the MAN!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulPizz:
Try going into safestrap recovery, then into advanced, and fix permissions then reboot. that worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Didnt work with me, can you provide steps with more details.

The problem due to some file from another device, the verizon s3 one not functionally with kitkat (has more bugs eg:stuck on reboot and shutdown) but no issue with cable. cant build it (no source).

will talk to Hashcode if he can build it for us when he have free time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackpot08:
can i just wipe and install this over stock rom? i dont want to create a rom slot.

and if anything goes wrong i can just flash the odin back to 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes you can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] graphdarnell:
The reboot upon USB plugging in might not be the SS after all. I tried 3 different cables (1 generic, 1 authentic Samsung, and 1 authentic LG) and they all caused rebooting. Since I still have the original rom installed, I tried USB while running it, and everything was normal. Just to let you know. Where stock rom allows for USB connection options (Installer/MTP/PTP); SuperLite wouldn't have any. Would that be the reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 5ft24:
Safestrap is disabled when running on the stock slot. That's why you don't have the reboot. If you put the stock ROM on another ROM slot, you will see the reboot as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] graphdarnell:
Thanks for the info. Maybe the OP should be edited to include such info so people know where we are. As I constantly need to use USB, it is a setback. But that's just my personal issue. Hopefully it will be overcome at some point.

DAAAAMMMMM

i have brick my verizon :(

flashed 4.3 latest frimware from oding then root and flash safestrip recovery and flash this superlite rom but forgot to flash the modules and reboot it so saw galaxy s3 logo then samsung animated logo appear n then set got dead :( :(

not switching on back

dont know what happened

Thank You so much for mentioning the thread to get debricked

going to proceed the debricked option and let see if i may get lucky

all my fault , double mind , i downloaded the nc1 stock firmware instead of ne1

we humans and do mistakes, even experts also do mistake some time :), thanking you once again for helping me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
Can somebody who locked BL coming from unlocked BL than rooted comment if it is worth it to go to 4.4.2? I'm on O&S rom right now.

To me, the only bad thing is not being able to run custom kernel. Is that what you guys see?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyeats:
In my personal opinion I would never go from unlocked to locked boot loader. You can still break off a piece of that KitKat without locking your boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
This is why I was asking if there is something much better in 4.4.2 compared to 4.3.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this "You can still break off a piece of that KitKat without locking your boot loader." ? I understand I can switch to other roms(CM, SLIM, etc...), battery life and stability with camera in TW is the key for me.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
theres really no such thing as a perfect rom so i guess it boils down to what are you willing to sacrifice?

would you rather your camera and battery life or would you rather have the freedom to use whatever software you choose on your phone.

me personally, if given the choice id choose to have the freedom to use whatever software i wanna try instead of being stuck with a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
+1

I want to compile kernels for this device but i cant. Im locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
Thank you for responses. I pretty happy with 4.3 and will stay unlocked. I was just trying to figure out if there is anything in 4.4.2 much better than in 4.3.

Thank you again.

yeah im locked too, was locked when it was given to me. sux

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drose6102:
Hey all, I have been out of the game for a bit, used to mess with a fascinate then the gnex, since then moved to the nexus 4 and current nexus 5 and love stock. I don't know if the custom roms days are over for me but stock suits me just fine as of this year lol. Anyways I am familiar with the Samsung and Verizon nightmare that is flashing with Odin and just painful soft bricks...... but this phone, I can't even think. safe strap, not being able to flash non TW or going back to 4.3 What did Verizon do to this thing?

Its my gf's phone, she recently had a problem were it would charge a few percent in 6 hours. It was a cracked soldier joint on the board, re-flowed that and all is well. Decided I would work some old school custom rom magic to make that s3 smooth as butter, that's not happening. Phone is at the latest 4.4.2 OTA no root, just bone stock, and I am overwhelmed with all the hoops I need to jump through to get this thing on cyanogen or anything non TW. The nexus line has spoiled me rotten.

Cheers to all the dev's that keep at it. A developer once told me "phones don't give up on people, people give up on phones" and you all certainly don't give up.

{le end}

Thank you all

PS she can use her iphone 3s til christmas, I don't have to deal with that phone.:eek:

Has anyone had problems getting Google Hangouts to work on this ROM? I always get the "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google" error. I've tried all the standard fixed, uninstalling google play services, uninstalling hangouts, and clearing data on google services framework.

EDIT: I finally got it working. Had it delete the Google Play Service apk from /system/priv-app and let it install as a non-system app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xDFA:
currently this is the best rom available for NE1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Better than the PaulPizz you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xDFA:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigstack:
I installed this to a ROM slot. Works great except when I plug in the USB to my computer to change it. As soon as I plug it into my computer the phone reboots itself and will continue to reboot itself till I take the USB out. If I am connected to a wall outlet charger is does not do this. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Known issue, flash the ROM on stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigstack:
Thank you I will give that a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
In the OP it says not recommended to flash over stock slot, is it ok to do so? I've got it on slot 1, getting terrible battery life but everything else works great. Are there any other issues? I turned off location reporting/history and don't have google now running..

Not recommended is to leave stock Ron untouched if you have the Odin NE1 tar no problem to flash on stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanallaire:
If i have a backup of the stock rom, can i flash this over stock and nandroid back if there is an issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
yes you can.

and you can restore backup on rom slot too.

Found answer to second question. Just disable it. Google plus update breaks it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FuzzieKiwi:
I noticed after installing this ROM, my phone seems to turn off everytime I plug it in via usb into my PC.

This doesn't happen with my mother's Moto X.

Any tips? I've just been having to take out the SD Card manually and plug it into a usb reader to transfer my music.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
did you install it to the stock rom slot in safestrap? also, comparing the moto x to the sgs3 is like comparing apples and oranges, two different manufacturers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] overfiendx2:
Hello all. Got root and then installed SU and safestrap. All was fine so I decided to check out the superlite rom. As I was not worried about the plugging into pc issue I installed it to rom slot 1. Again everything was running fine so I just left rom slot 1 and the superlite rom active. Everything seemed to run just fine and I wasn't missing anything stripped from the rom. One thing I noticed and ultimately my question does anyone else experience much worse battery life with superlite instead of stock? I mean after leaving for work with a full battery running superlite rom I come home with about 33% battery left. Same scenario running stock rom I come home with about 66%. Ran 2 days each rom with approximately the same usage.

Thanks for any feedback. At this point I'm just running stock for the improved battery performance. WOW can't believe I just typed that.:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xDFA:
lol. for me the battery performance is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] overfiendx2:
Do you think it may have to do with being installed on slot 1 instead of the stock slot like the plugging into pc issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drift08:
First of all, I really thank the dev for creating this rom for the NE1 locked bootloader. I did wish more custom rom is out there. Anyway, I flashed this rom via Unofficial-Safestrap-D2VZW-3.75-B02 onto my friend's Verizon S4 (I535OYUDNE1 - rooted via TR) but it has two main issues.

1) Auto reboot when charging via outlet and pc. I understand it's an issue with the modifed SS. My friend has been switching to stock rom to charge phone. Does anyone know/tried to flash this custom rom onto stock rom slot (which overwrites stock rom). Will this fix the issue?

2) Battery drain on this custom rom is worst than stock rom based on my friend's experience.

I don't think there is any way to download the phone to an unlock bootloader from I535VRUDNE1 (4.4.2 ). If there is, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] overfiendx2:
From what i've read here your answer to 1 is yes. Installing superlite on the stock rom slot will solve that issue. As far as 2 goes I'd be interested to know how your friends battery life is with the superlite rom on stock slot. As for downgrading the bootloader as far as I know that's a no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MaxPower99:
Helping a friend flash this ROM. Everything seems to be working fine but I was wondering what the modules in the download page are for? Filename is "d2vzw-NE1-modules.zip" Are they required?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timofcourse:
Just loaded this ROM. First off, thanks for the work!

Also, 2 questions:

1. How can I get the stock Email client loaded back? I downloaded and installed SecExchange from here via TWRP thinking that'd do it, but still not seeing it.

2. Every reboot Im getting an error "VZWAVSService has stopped" There an easy-ish fix for this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xImposter:
does this ROM not support GSM? Im on AT&T Straight Talk and don't have a global option under preferred network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drift08:
As far as I know, this rom was made for Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII with a locked bootloader (I535VRUDNE1). I am not sure if there are module patches that can make this rom work with GSM carriers like AT&T. I am not sure why you are installing this rom to your AT&T SIII. For AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII root and custom rom info, please check out this sub forum at here.

I know there is a CF Auto Root for Verizon SIII (I535VRUDNE1) 4.4.2. Does anyone know if that will work on I535OYUDNE1 (4.4.2)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xImposter:
I'm installing it on a Verizon S3 that is on straight talk with an AT&T sim. But unlike my note 2 it was only getting edge for data. I was hoping if I put a rom on it, I was hoping for a different radio. Just did some research and seems the receiver in the S3 isn't the same as my note 2 and can only pick up edge. Maybe it was wrong. I havent found anything regarding it on xda. It's all on outside websites. Thinking I'm out of luck since this was the only safestrap rom I have found so far.

Owned devices:

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 i605 (on Straight Talk) : Beans ROM 26

Asus Transformer TF300T: Kisskat ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drift08:
From what I know, Verizon S3 wasn't made to have AT&T and T-Mobile freq. bands (see spec comparison at here). So. hardware-wise is different, which make it impossible to use AT&T data network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timofcourse:
Any chance someone knows how to get the Email client loaded back on? Really need it for work but really digging this ROM and dont want to go back to bloat.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShhImSleeping:
Move secemail.apk and secexchange.apk into /system/app with a root explorer like "es explorer" (with root mode on) or the actual "Root explorer", then set their permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

Hope this helps.

You can pull it from the PaulPizz ROM for NE1. It's not as debloated as this (still contains S-voice, AllshareCast, Mobile Print, Swype, SecEmail, SecExchange, gmail, maps, myVerizon, and a couple other things)
