Is that possible to make it into odin file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Nothing Impossible but why to make it odin file.

You can flash it to stock slot by Safestrap but dont forget to backup system in case somthing wrong happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
thank you, cant wait to be rid of the bloat from samsung and verizon lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
So I just updated my mom's S3 from stock 4.3 to 4.4.2 via OTA and (OH BOY WAS I SURPRISED) it didn't change anything. We were hoping to get the kitkat toggle tiles as well as the Google Now Launcher in the play store. However the play store still thinks the phone is 4.3 so the kit kat apps do not show up. OTA and phone info says it's 4.4.2 so I give up on Verizon.

I was wanting to know if anyone else has flashed this yet and can confirm that it works... And if everything works properly (mostly).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
This is the wrong thread for that, but...give it a little bit. Try rebooting the phone and also your google play might update itself. If it still doesn't recognize it as running 4.4 in a few days then idk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I didn't want to make a thread just to talk about Verizon issues. I just dropped a tidbit of info to express my hate for Verizon and locked bootloaders. I figured someone reading this thread would have experienced a similar problem.

And I was asking if anyone has tried this rom/recovery yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
i havent gotten to the rom yet cause i have people over but the safestrap i do know is good for backing up and restoring kitkat, ive already borked things a few times and had to restore backups XD. only tried it with the 4.4.2 though, havent gambled on restoring a 4.3 nandroid, probably wont either since i dont feel like dealing with odin to fix things if it locks down again

update:

flashed on stock slot, smooth and quick install, account synced up, all seems to be well so far. all bloatware gone and wifi works, thats all i can confirm since i dont have service, its just my lil wifi toy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Flashing this now... Finally finished backing up all her media to Google Drive... Took HOURS. Idk WHY it's so freaking slow... Her gs3 has always been slow...

Edit: Seems to be working well. No complaints, thanks!

For now...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] larry0987:
Official google launcher is only for nexus and aosp/cm based roms wont show on stock touchwiz on any device I have Sprint or vzw 4.4.x

Description in the play store:

Available on Nexus or Google Play edition devices with Android 4.4 (KitKat).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
You can install it manualy ( apk and lib) push it to system by root file manager or by flashable zip.

It works on kitkat tw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Can someone tell me if I'm safe to flash this rom? I have a locked boot loader but am unsure what "version". I'm assuming there was only one (4.3) that hasn't been exploited yet.. but I've been wrong before.

[Build number is intentionally altered via build.prop to prevent forced OTA]

I am currently running SafeStrap as well.

Hoping to update and try out Google Wallet, but didn't want to take the 4.4 OTA due to further hindering my chances of a boot loader downgrade in the future.

edit:

Ok I think I need to upgrade to official Kitkat before I can flash this right, which at the moment it's not recommended by the community aye ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
you cant flash this if you not updated to kitkat (NE1).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Ok I understand now. Thank you. Do you know if the NE1 bootloader is "locked down" permanently vs. the ML1 bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:
Yes it is locked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Ok, I'm stuck either way. By the time the 4.3 or 4.4 boot loaders are unlocked I'll probably have a new phone.

Going to update to remove my old SafeStrap, install 4.4, then TowelRoot, then install busybox, then install unofficial SafeStrap, then install this ROM into a slot.

Thank you. :)

edit:

nevermind - had to unzip it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
So can anyone give feedback? How is this ROM compared to Stock 4.3 and Stock 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -somebody-:
no complaints. all the crap verizon and samsung install is gone, wifi works, been running it a couple days now and it runs well. cant verify texts or calls since i dont have service. but its good in my opinion, just a bloatfree stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I made up a 2.5 second ogg sound file that works on boot. I just took the Star Wars soundboard app I have and cut down the lightsaber sound to 2.5 seconds with Audacity and copied it as /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg and then set the permissions to 0644. Did all that with Root Browser again...wonderful app :)

There are so many of the boot animations on the web. Do you have an app that rotates through these animations so that you get a different animation every time you boot?

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
I don't have an app, no. But it shouldn't be too hard to write a script that would cycle through however many animations you feel like having on your device. Not sure, though, if these "stock" ROM's can be made to do init or shutdown scripts but I'd bet that there is a way.

The logic of the script would be to have all your animations numbered, then rename bootanimation.zip to somdummyfile, then rename bootanimation1 to bootanimation, 2 to 1, 3 to 2, ... , n to n-1, and lastly somedummyfile to bootanimationN ...this would cycle through the animations.

I hope that makes sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
That makes sense and what I was thinking... I've seen a lot of these Linux scripts over the years but cannot write them.

It takes skill that I don't have. Maybe it'll be in the next SuperLightROM!

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I found my matrix qmg bootloader with some nice sounds here:

http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t245636.html

The shutdown sound and video does work if you use the power button which I'm trying not to (I have a bad soldering connection that became apparent with an after market battery-solution was to use original S3 battery and on screen power down/reboot "buttons" and gestures).

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] triton302:
What's the general consensus of this ROM? I keep switching from my Note 4 to my S3 and want something faster and smoother for the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Seems stable on Wi-Fi but seemingly as vanilla as stock. However, because it's rooted u can customize things like the boot up screen and sounds. You can also write to the micro SD card.

I like it but I like SlimKat on my MotoG better.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] triton302:
Is it quicker/smoother and as stable or better than factory NE1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I think it's the same but I only use it on Wi-Fi. Maybe it's faster on 4G than stock but I couldn't say.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] triton302:
Oops, I just realized I asked this same thing a couple months back and didn't know it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I don't expect the performance is any different from stock- because it is stock, just with the excess apps removed. Maybe there's more to it than that, but that's my impression.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merujeffrey:
THANKS

Nice Rom bro, awaiting your next release. (stuck_with_kkbootloader):eek:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Works great! How bout a new boot screen instead of Verizon? I changed mine and it's pretty easy with a rooted ROM.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 47th_Ronin:
Can you change the selinux policy to permissive instead of enforcing?

I use an app for this but would rather have it baked into the rom if possible.

If not thats ok too.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
In the SlimKat ROM there's the ability in settings to specify quiet hours. In other ROMs I've used an app for this, but it would be nice if it was part of the ROM.

Marty

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

Is this safe? Would this make your entire system vulnerable to apps being able to harvest information and send it somewhere?

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I will.

This is kernel side

- Run terminal emulator for android.

- Type "su"

- Type "setenforce 0"* without quotes

Will look into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
Will the next one have the s5 touchwiz??? I just flashed this for my friend, and see little difference between stock and this one.. But I changed a crap ton with wanam so it's all good :D The debloat is amazing xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
How bout DoubleTapToWake (DT2W) and DoubleTapToSleep (DT2S)? I only saw this put into one other KitKat ROM by a guy named Meticulus. He put it into another Galaxy ROM running Carbon here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784792

If the front isn't covered in a case while carrying it then it tends to drain the battery and people would want to disable that feature. It is a convenience though for people like me that have a bad power button and are dependent on gestures to turn off their S3 :)

Thanks for all the work you've put and continue to put into our old S3 mohammad.afaneh!

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
I dont know if it was note 4 or s5 but they are the same and yes the next update have the launcher.

this is aosp rom not touchwiz rom.

Double tab to sleep can be added but to wake is kernel dependent.

I will add power button to the corner of screen I hope I get time for that I got problem to decompile some app that was ok earlier. Or it will be add on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I like that mod! Works great-thanks! :)

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
The 2 mods

I'm an idiot. :banghead:

I breezed by both of the mods on the first page that were put right below the superlight ROM because months ago I wasn't sure how to install these. Very simple BTW-all u do is tap on the install button in SS once the superlight ROM has been installed. Choose the mod (I did 1 mod at a time between fresh reboots). Here's a screenshot and 2 arrows point out the mods. The first mod puts a screen lock and home button at the top of the screen. The home icon acts just like the home button...keep it pressed in to get all the active apps. The second mod reboots to the new SS recovery rather than the Samsung recovery.

Both apps seem to work fine and make life a bit easier!

:D

I think there's more than 2 mods in Downloads on the first page. I installed these 2:

Home and Lock Button on Status bar.zip

[MOD] Reboot To Safestrap.zip

Only the ROM files are explained. I'm not sure what some of others are.

Screenshot is attached.

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
I need that reboot to safestrap mod. How is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Works fine. On the first boot it took a while as it upgraded all the apps. I made a backup in ss before I started this.

Marty

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

When it said optimizing 200 some apps I was thinking I should have done this months ago right after I installed the ROM and before the downloaded apps were put on.

Marty

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Oh, almost forgot. Since I don't know how to unflash these mods, I first made a backup of my stock slot (which is super light ROM) and then restored this backup in slot 1 for "experimenting". After rebooting with stock 1 to make sure it worked, I then installed each mod between boots into slot 1 to see what would happen.

That way I knew my backup worked and saw if I like the mod. When I saw all was good I installed on stock slot (which is super light ROM). :cool:

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
When the OP said DT2S was possible it got me wondering if I could do this with my go launcher since it uses gestures and it can. Once go launcher is installed, long press on home screen>go settings>advanced>gestures >double tap and set lock screen. Then go to play store and get free lock screen settings go app.

Open the new lock app and put the slider to enable.

On another screen u can double tap to put your device to sleep.

Did not get into Custom ROMs my whole time with S3 and now I feel like there actually has been tons of development. Maybe its time to unretire as the S3 was still in great shape before I moved on to S5.

Going to give this one a shot as I was bootloader locked to NE1. Kudos !

Is "Access Point Names" not available unless a SIM card is inserted (in this ROM or otherwise)? I do not see it under Mobile Networks in settings.

SLR4 screenshots

Well, when I finally downloaded a good file (BTW-people in America-DON'T USE THE TEXAS MIRROR...the file for the mirror out of Quebec works fine) for the new SuperLiteROM 4 it installed with no problems. I have it on my stock slot and after configuring and downloading apps for a couple hours it seems stable. I like the new Aroma installer too-very nice looking! You are able to specify a new boot animation during installation and it now has a boot to safestrap option under restart. Looks a lot like stock ROM but it is natively rooted and gives you the ability to write to your SD card. The only mod that's needed for me is the status bar mod with the home and power button icons. It doesn't have many apps so you will probably want to download your apps from the google play store.

Thanks for giving us another fine piece of work mohammad.afaneh :)

Some screenshots are attached.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonix:
I downloaded and installed without any issues from Texas mirror. I am also located in Texas and the download was extremely fast (>4 mbps)

I really like that almost all ****ware is gone. So I thought I will give this one some more try and popped in my SIM from S5 to start playing around. Connect to VZW just fine but I am baffled that there is no APN under Mobile Networks. Native Tether app works great so that was good. But I dont know how Data is working without any APN configuration available.

I also want to be able to select "Global Mode" as this was available in the stock ROM. Apparently in some custom ROMs(CM based?) all of these are available "lte/cdma/evdo/gms/wcdma , lte/gsm/wcdma, lte/cdma/evdo, cdma/evdo auto, gsm/wcdma auto, gsm/wcdma preferred. "

Then I want to try the tips mentioned here to make this a functional phone with another provider http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809314&page=49
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
100% will be flashing this if my friend gives me his phone back. He said yes lat time I saw him but he was sick. I will be doing this to our old s3 once my mom gets a new phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonix:
Ok I see the following file exists and it has all the pertinent VZW Internet info which is why it connects just fine once you insert an Active SIM inside. So the problem is this Custom ROM is not exposing the APN Settings and that should ideally be included in the next update (Just mean this to be a feedback for the OP who has done an awesome job).

/system/etc/apns-conf.xml

For the time being there is a workaround for APN Settings not getting exposed in this Custom ROM. Install "APN Settings Shortcut" from F-Droid (tompreuss). The good news is the settings are editable because of the mods in this ROM :)

So now we need to find a way to add the different Network Modes to complete this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
Here's another screenshot of the new restart screen that can now go directly to the safe strap recovery.

This happen to me too, If sim inserted more network mod will be available and since Im not using vzw provider need to set APN manually

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonix:
Can you please post a screenshot of the modes you are getting when you insert your SIM?

Since you have removed the APN menu altogether under Mobile Network settings that are available in default ROM, are you using an external APN tool?

--
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Not removed any menu its there when sim inserted.

maybe some bloat that removed cuz this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonix:
That looks great. Yes it is probably due to bloat getting removed and the dependency ! It is weird that when we insert Verizon SIM, it doesn't even show the APN option and only 2 modes selectable from the Network mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LinuxHippy:
I'm really impressed now... you did all this without having Verizon network? Wow!

Marty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Luminair:
I'm running v4 and while it's great, my battery life is truly horrific. I'm getting a little more than an hour on a full charge.

Granted, I have a stock battery, and don't have a SIM installed. I have the ROM installed on Slot 1 - if I recall correctly, the battery issue goes away if I flash to the stock slot instead. Is that the case?

Edit: Re-read some earlier posts. I just flashed to the stock slot, so we'll see what happens.

Edit 2: Just as terrible - 60% to 20% in 60 minutes. I bought my S3 second-hand, so I'm guessing the battery is on the way out. I ordered a replacement stock 2200 mAh battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XxD34THxX:
I'd blame the battery. My friend his loving his phone even more(even through the badly cracked screen(In one corner, you can see the innards of the phone)). That said, he is going to love it more once I flash v4.0 tomorrow or in two days :D.

Oh yeah, my mom has the same problem on the Stock ROM(non rooted). It only happens once in a week or so.
