2 issues

first issue is gps.

when using gps in the car with my pioneer appradio 3 via an mhl 2.0 cable the gps works since i have a gps antenna plugged into the radio.

when gps is not plugged into my appradio, i have no lock on signal and it says gps lost with no navigation instructions on any app (gmaps, waze, etc.)

second issue is auto shutdown of apps when phone gets too hot.

when plugged in the car to mhl 2.0 and screen is on for a while running tunein radio and gps within 15 mins, everything shuts down except for phone and contacts

how do i get rid of this security feature?

this was not an issue in 4.3 and its driving me nuts while im driving

any help is appreciated

I'm having trouble installing the rom. After installing Safestrap from the link in the OP and rebooting to recovery, I get 'E: Unable to open zip file'. Checked the md5 on the download and it matches. Any thoughts?

Just for clarity, I'm on 4.4.2 OTA with the NE1 baseband. Rooted using towelroot. Tried running the install in the stock slot and in a separate slot.

EDIT - Just realized the file was screwed up when I copied over to the phone. I checked the hash after downloading but not a second time after transferring it to the phone. Just copied it again and verified the md5. Off to install...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhssal:
Finally gave up the unlocked BL and went up KK. All is running well. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fastpakr:
Two questions after running for close to a week.

1) Battery life is a little rough (definitely worse than stock). Something seems to be running in the background, as I'm getting significant drain even with the phone locked/screen off. Attachment shows an example.

2) Unable to connect to Netflix. When launching the app, I get a spinning red circle followed after a couple of minutes by the error "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (-9)". Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi, LTE, etc.

Other than those issues, everything I've tried so far has worked well. Performance is dramatically improved from the stock TW configuration.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SupraLance:
Sounds like your phone back is loose, causing the gps antenna contacts to not make connection. This would cause your phone to get hot when gps is on and it is trying to lock. Can probably be fixed just by tightening the screws under the battery cover. There is a thread here somewhere about this...

If your installed on a ROM slot through safestrap, safestrap will continue to run and zap battery. If you install on the stock slot, battery life is much better. NetFlix checks for digital rights management stuff and has an issue with any detectable sign of root, because they are afraid you will copy/steal their content if you are rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fastpakr:
I'm running on the stock slot.

Are you saying that Netflix doesn't work on rooted devices at all? That certainly hadn't been my experience in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SupraLance:
Netflix can be fooled and made to work on stockish roms even on rooted phones, including the s3. I was just pointing you in the direction of the likely problem since no more knowledgeable people have responded (I don't use NetFlix). You might try the hacked version of NetFlix, and/or try clearing cache and data for NetFlix. Also, there may be components stripped from the ROM that need to be there for NetFlix, since this ROM is completely debloated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Abzal:
May add to this ROM russian LP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
No LP will be added at the momment.

Sorry I dont have time for devlopment. maybe soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gengerald:
Same issue with Netflix.

I have messed with my build prop, tried another Netflix app via XDA thread, whitelisted and turned off my ad blocker, cleared cache/reset permission.

I am at a loss. It appears to be either an app I am not aware of blocking Netflix or maybe a key file was debloated. I did have a different issue when I was on Hyperdrive on my old SG3 but the build prop edits fixed it right up.

Anyone have thoughts or insight?

Google / XDA search haven't gotten me anywhere...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gengerald:
[MENTION=4674426]fastpakr[/MENTION]

So I have been working on getting Netflix to work. I believe Netflix is either (a) dependent on a removed system file or (b) checking for more than device information in the buildprop.

I haven't been able to figure out one or the other, but I have been able to get a legacy Netflix version to run. Video / audio stutters, but it is able to connect and send clean video / audio to my Chromecast, which is a primary use for me. Worth a try IMHO. As a side note, I have not checked this Netflix version for any little nasties...but in a quick review, nothing makes me think it is tainted.

1) Delete current Netflix app

2) Download Netflix 2.4.1 build 950 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291678460

3) Install, enter credentials

4) Use as a Chromecast remote only

*I currently have Nexus S details in my build prop, so you may need to add this in before completing steps 2-4.

Netflix Workaround

I used the Xposed Netflix workaround that was used for CM 10.1. Worked for me. Playback is smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fastpakr:
Brilliant! Just tested and it worked perfectly. Here's the short version:

Get the Xposed installer HERE

Install that, then open it and install the Xposed framework and reboot.

Get the Netflix workaround apk HERE

Install that, then open the Xposed application again and go to modules. Click the check box on the Netflix workaround to enable it, then reboot

Hi, is there something i can do to add arabic to your rom? i know that the stock rom and yours don't have it as i tried morelocal2 and couldn't get the menus to show in Arabic, it used to work with stock 4.3 but looks like verizon has decided to remove it. Now back to my question is there anything i can do to get arabic?

Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruhaha1234:
How do you enable the Flashlight toggle? In Settings -> Display -> Notification Panel there is no option for a flashlight. I see a flashlight widget, but I don't think that is what you were referring to.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Does Hangouts (the current 2.5.xxx version) work for anyone on this rom (or any other NE1 variant) for the S3? Just crashes pretty much right off the bat no matter how many times I try. Far as I remember, it didn't work on the 'stock' NE1 rom either. Oddly enough it *does* work on my Note 8.0, but obviously not the same bootloader/kernel/rom, so I'm wondering if it's something with our hardware or just the app itself is buggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xneuromancer:
Sorry for the stupid question.. I've been using AOSP for a while. I have a d2lte S3 that is unlocked, I never took the locked bootloader update.

Is it not possible to create a newer TW 4.4.2 rom for unlocked d2lte S3's? All the ones I find are only for locked bootloaders. Is this because it requires a minimum bootloader version, which our unlocked phones don't have (since we can only update the modem to NE1 and not the firmware?)

-Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You can try, do a full backup then flash v2.0 or v3.0 (have kernel) , wipe and reboot.

If you stuck on black screen you need to upgrade bootloader (but I dont think so, this problem related to init binary)

you can give feed back.

If I wanted to revert it back to plain-old stock do I just have to ODIN this back in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2791801 or is there anything else that I have to do? Can't get DIAG mode to work no how (none of the known dialer codes seem to work) and figured I'd try going back to stock to see if I can get in.

EDIT: for the heck of it, I reinstalled all of the 'bloat' (after backing up the 'bloatless' configuration) and the secret service modes now work so apparently the phone needs one or more of something that's in there. Still trying to figure out what.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Screenshots

Well, I took the plunge and wiped my stock slot in the unofficial safestrap and put the SuperLiteROM version 3.0 (100% bloatware FREE) in it's place after making a backup of the stock image. Then with safestrap I made a slot 1 and put my stock image there in case I wanted to boot into it.

It seems very stable and has been a good choice for replacing stock. Safestrap is not active now and battery drain seems normal.

Also, this is a rooted ROM with busybox already setup.

First off, know that I'm just using my S3 with WiFi and don't use the Verizon 4G. So, I cannot test out if 4G is the same in this ROM as stock. That being said, I don't see any major differences between stock and this ROM. Bluetooth works perfectly as does the camera and video record and playback. Music plays perfectly and I'm able to get my email and go on the web as usual.

Oh, 1 thing that is nice is that since I don't have a SIM card the device only bothered me about it once on reboot and then I checked the don't bother me again box and it hasn't.

I use it with a pay as you go T-Mobile battery hotspot with no problems.

Also, it behaves fine on a Samsung USB cable connected directly (no extension) to my Ubuntu pc USB port.

Thanks for all your work on this mohammad.afaneh!! Is there anyway to make a Verizon free boot screen?

Here are 2 screenshots. I'm not sure which programs were installed as a Google backup once I signed in but I did see it update or install gmail over Wi-Fi.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
So it can be made to look like the s5? I'm helping my friend out with his s3, and since I personally have a s4, I don't go outside of the s4 sub forums much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I just found out something really cool that root access from this ROM and an app called Root Browser (free from the Google play store) can do. That app (once given root permission) can write to the SD card. Not a big thing, but I couldn't understand why that was an issue with 4.4.2. I've been frustrated for the longest with the message that pops up when I try to write to the SD, but not with this rooted file browser!

Oh, I'm working on the boot animations. I followed a YouTube video and made a qmg file which I wrote to /system/media at bootsamsung.qmg. According to the video you also need bootsamungloop.qmg which I didn't do yet and I'm not sure where the Samsung boot audio is. The permissions are 0644 and you make the qmg files from jpg boot animation files and a program from Samsung called Samsung Theme Designer.

Here's the video:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Power On Muted

Well, I found the bootup sound. It was in /system/media/audio/ui and called PowerOn.ogg. I renamed the file to orig.Power.On.ogg and now it's muted when it boots and the Verizon boot screen is gone. Rename orig.PowerOn.ogg to PowerOn.ogg to get the sound back.

I tried copying another file in it's place and it didn't like that. I think it just wants a simple short sound file.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I don't have the S5 to try to copy it but I did download the go launcher (touchwiz launcher shown) and that probably installed the S5 wallpaper that I chose.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I was hoping that somebody already did this and I was right. I found a bunch of Samsung qmg zipped boot files at this site:

http://www.droidrzr.com/topic/38743-bootanimation-all-carriersgalaxy-note-3-massive-150-qmg-bootanimation-library-kollection-3514/

My no-script extension in Firefox did warn me about a lot of the download links for Dev-Host, so I just took the first Android 4.4 link that was a direct download and that seemed to work fine. The zip file doesn't include an audio file and shutdown.qmg doesn't seem to do anything. Make sure you have a rooted file manager. I first tried Root File Manager and it wouldn't work. What I did find that did work is a free app from the Google play store called Root Browser. So, the only 2 files you need are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. First you should rename the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to orig.filename so you can go back to them if you want. Then paste the 2 needed files into /system/media and change the permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- and reboot.

The audio seems to be that separate file I posted previously. A good program for sound editing is Audacity. This was originally for Linux but is now cross platform. You want an ogg file that is short. The original file is 3 seconds long and has the same permissions of 0644.

I didn't try the easier app way of doing this but there are at least 2 different kinds of boot animations that are used. It looks like Samsung wanted to be different and picked their own format. If an app would work, it would have to be for Samsung devices.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
I use a regular bootanimation.zip and it works fine....maybe you have to do the other kind for sound but I don't like bootup sounds anyway.

Hi, I had unrooted my i9505 and updated to kitkat (02 version). I am actually on the Tesco network and I thought that is what Tesco used. The rom seems fine, along with the network in general but I cannot use any mobile data networks. Does anyone know if this is because of the wrong rom or could this be a different error?

I have searched the forum and internet for a few hours but found nothing related to Tesco GS4 roms! : I used the 02 4.3 one from here and then update via keys to 4.4.2 -

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
Tesco and o2 share the same network, but they probably have different access point settings. if you go to the tescomobile website or call support they should be able to send you some settings to ensure you have the right APN?

Are you connected to TESCO (it says TESCO in the carrier label when you pull down notifications?) Just also check that in "settings/more networks/mobile networks/access point names" that it relates to tesco and not to o2?

Qns on ROMs

Hi Guys,

My SM-9005 kitkat 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0-1703205 baseband N9005DXUENE3 was rooted with Towelroot and I've checked with rootchecker, it says that I have root access. However in my phone's download page my system status remain as "official" instead of "custom". Is my device rooted properly? or Is this normal?

1) How to install custom recovery compatible with my device?

2) Currently my Knox remain as 0x0, will the process of installing a custom ROM trip Knox by any chance?

3) Are launchers only compatible with stock ROMs and not custom ROMs?

4) Currently what are the top Stock & Custom ROMs compatible with my device? (If I'm focusing more on games,performance, batt life and very low usage of S pen).

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Search before you ask for help. All these have been answered many times in this very forum.

Official or custom system status has nothing to do with rooting.

Find custom recovery from development section and flash it with Odin.

Custom ROM does not trip KNOX, but flashing custom recovery and/or kernel will.

What launchers you have in mind? Stock TouchWiz ones might only work on stock(-based) ROMs. Third-party launchers should work on all ROMs, though exceptions can occur.

There is no best ROM. Try different ROMs ones, see yourself what is best. A ROM may be best for one, worst for other.

Also - If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here.
