What is this wiping tool you are using out of curiosity?

I know people were sometimes using Superwipe scripts back in the early days of the S3, but I never felt they were a good idea unless used under certain circumstances.

Too many people would format /system and then have a ROM flash fail leaving them with no OS to boot into. Most times it was a pita to get it working again!

Anyway, im not sure why your GPS is acting up so much. I'll test on the new build later on. But I wouldn't expect a lot more for the S3 from enewman17. He's moving on and will probably find he's got his hands full with a lot of new projects. I'm not trying to speak for him, and he may yet give us something more in the future if we get another release. I'm just saying not to expect anything is all.

Sort of. Still can't afford to fix mine. The one I'm using right now doesn't belong to me. A buddy of mine is letting me borrow it for now. I just don't know for how long. Probably until he needs money and decides to sell it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
I really appreciate the port and the help. I am an op reader so I rarely have problems. I also don't post unless I can help. That is why my post count is so low. I think I will try a clean flash without the superwipe. I attached it so you can check it out if you are curious.I only use this when going from tw to aosp or vice versa.I feel it keeps things cleaner on the internal sd since I keep all the important stuff on the external sd. Thanks for your work with the sgs3!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, its a little different but essentially the same as the superwipe scripts I remember.

I personally don't like them because they wipe /system like I mentioned above. All ROMs format that partition before doing anything else anyway, so it also does seem a little unnecessary to me.

To each his own though! Just be careful when using it. And always have a second, known good ROM on external SD when flashing. (One you know will flash with your current recovery)

On another note, I am testing the new release now and it looks like I'll be able to upload and release it this evening! Hopefully early evening if not sooner!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] talkingmonkeys:
Update 3minit Battery Settings app. I made this updater-script to update this and make it work properly. Let me know if anything went wrong. I was assured it works correctly finally after 5 attempts. Flash in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik afterwards.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pisu50k0i47ukuk/3minitBatteryMod-updateS3.zip?dl=0

Doc feel free to add this into the update if you're still using it as default.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
UPDATE!

Hey guys!

Here is the updated S3Rx Port! Sorry I didn't post it earlier. Havent been on the computer since I uploaded it. You will notice it is a good bit smaller this time. Enewman17 decided not to go with aroma so all the extra files are not needed now.

This is what he said was changed:

Everything seems to be running well for me so far. Hope it works as well for the rest of you! I will update the OP later.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712467443

I will be making some changes of my own at some point. Ill probably post it as a secondary option when I do. No Promises though!

:cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Thanks for all your hard work, Doc! We are are thankful for yours and others contributions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chaos-Shadow:
Thanks for all the hard dedicated work! I'm sure I speak for all when I say we all truly appreciate it.

I've been using the older rom as my daily for some time.

I'm having an issue here where I cannot connect my Google account. Despite internet actively working, even ran the browsers.

Any idea what it could be?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You may need to wipe data for most of the Google apps in app management. Then reboot and set your account up again. It happens a lot when dirty flashing a ROM. (Sometimes even with clean flashes!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Curious, any change in GPS behaviour?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
What modem is good for that ROM?

Mk4 calls hear chunky...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShernDog:
I'm using MJC and haven't had any noticeable issues... It also might be a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chaos-Shadow:
I cleared the data and coach data and it didn't work.

I had the idea of Flashing a different gapps and the communication error fixed itself.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Glad to hear you got it sorted out!

Sorry I haven't been on much the last couple of days everyone. Busy and sick so just haven't had a lot of desire for anything that requires mental focus! Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I'll get things properly updated and posted!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
Take your time Doc!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
How come I didn't see this thread before? With the way Hangouts and Google Voice are changing, wifi calling is almost not important to me anymore! Besides not getting text messages without a signal, which shouldn't be urgent, Google Voice pretty much takes care of that now. Going to try, and fortunately I looked back a page to find the most recent version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I like to think that the lack of activity is because its running so good for everyone!

Still gotta get that op updated though......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Enewman17 may have an updated ROM out this evening, with Aroma! If so I will try to set aside a few min to get it ported and released here too!

A new version of Likewise will also be ready very soon! So look for one of us to port that too!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
After installing the updated ROM, my battery is draining fast even when plugged into my PC with fast charge enabled. The phone itself is getting really hot near the SIM card. I am going to pop the battery out for a few minutes to see if that will help... Hopefully it does.

Taking battery out and waiting for 10 minutes did nothing. I have wiped and everything before and after flashing 4.1... going back to 4.0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not sure what that could be. Ive been running it exclusively for a couple of weeks now w/o much problem. Sorry it gave you problems.

Enewman17 didn't get his update done last night so maybe tonight. Hopefully the upcoming update will be better for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fatboyRICH:
2 t999's on srx4.0 different results

I have 2 T999's, one white and one blue.

The blue one, I bought recently, was on NC2 stock. I rooted with CFroot, and tried to downgrade to MJC to SIM Unlock. Of course, I bricked, and had to use a tutorial to boot from the microSD. After un-bricking it, the blue T999 runs this rom, SRX4.0, fine.

The white one has been my flashing toy since the beginning of 2014. I got it with build MJC. Got SIM Unlock code from TMO. OTA'd to NC2. Rooted. Flashed various kernels and ROM's since, both AOSP and TW. I always end up back on SRX3.0. Now, it won't run SRX4.0 at all. I've even tried the newest KToonzes kernel, but I still get various FC's and reboots.

Any idea why SRX 4.0 runs stable on one T999, but not the other?? Any ideas to stabilize SRX 4.0 on the white one??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
I like 4.0 well enough anyways. I just wanted to try the new update... Everything is working fine again now that I backtracked to 4.0.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Have you tried factory reset? wipe dalvick/cache? fix permissions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] if6was9:
I’m totally impressed with this rom, running great with excellent battery life. Thanks @DocHoliday77, @enewman17 and the others who have worked on this, helping to prolong the usefullness of this great phone. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Hi Doc, I recently installed this with a fresh install and experienced poor Wi-Fi connectivity. Is this a kernel issue? I'm back on the route66 Rom and Wi-Fi is great. Thanks for all you've done here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you turn off smart network switch?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
New ROM have S5 theme?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not sure. Ive only just started downloading it to make the port. Busy night!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Here is the changelog for the upcoming S3Rx update.

*Aroma installer

*fixed overlay on system ui. clock and icons are now brighter.

*unlocked all lock screen effects.

*added heads up notifications in extras.

*better ripple effects.

*removed battery toggle in battery settings.

*fixed gms core fc issues.

I will have it ready for you guys asap!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
No, I didn't. Do you recommend shutting it off?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes, if it's on, turn it off. Causes problems for a lot of people.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry I haven't got the new update done yet. There's a few things in Aroma that need to be changed and I don't have much experience with it...

If I get a few min, I'll try to post a temporary build, but otherwise it'll be late tonight before I can do much more. Busy busy day today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
It is very strange. I went back to 4.0 and my battery problem went away for awhile (as comopared to 4.1). Now it has came back getting really hot and discharging very quickly even while plugged in. There is no wake-lock and haven't done anything different than previous with 4.0. Going to try a few things... hopefully I can get this working because I enjoy this ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you plugging into a wall outlet with the stock charger and cable? All 3 of these can make a big difference when having charging issues. As for it getting hot, are you doing anything that is either processor or radio intensive? I sometimes have problems overheating while playing games or using the network. It might be the housing I'm using right now, but it could also be partially due to the kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
I suspect a battery problem. I just replaced my battery and will know by the weekend or so if the problem is fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
I don't know what the issue was. I had cleared all processes in memory and made sure nothing was running that was necessary for the phone to operate. I was also using the stock charger/cable. I finally just downloaded and flashed the new Likewise port. No issues now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Cool. It's built from S3Rx as its base, so there's a good chance that if it was the rom it'll be fixed in the next update. I should be able to get it done today. If I can get around the Aroma issues I've been having!

Glad to hear it seems to be solved for you though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daggorlad:
There was probably just a bug in the kernel with my installs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] misterwal10:
I just flashed this after running in S3Rx 3.0. I love both of them... thanks doc & Enewman!!

But on this one I can't use the camera app with the low battery. It's there a way to edit it that I just may be missing or its it just not built into this one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I know it can be done, but I'm just not sure right now if it would be as simple as a csc edit or if the app itself would have to be modified. Will try to look into it later when I get home.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Woohoo!!! Thanks to a little advice from enewman17, S3Rx 4.2 is ready and uploading! I'll try not to fall asleep before its done!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
What is updated on this new build?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well, looks like staying awake backfired! I'll have the link posted in just a few min!

S3Rx 4.2 Update!

Ok, sorry for the wait everyone! But here it is!

S3Rx 4.2 T999 Port w/Aroma

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712473231

Will have the OP updated shortly!

Note: this being an aroma version, it is very difficult to test out everything. Please let me know of any issues and bugs you may encounter. There may be a few more changes to the Aroma installer to come. Mostly just to clean things up and append some statements to be relevant to the T999. (i.e. On the kernel page, only KT747 is available to us, but it will say non-NE4 kernels are not supported, or something to that effect. Obviously this does not apply to us here, so disregard that and other similar statements if noticed.)

Note2: You can use the EFS backup option if you like, but be aware that this will not protect or help you in the event of an IMEI loss. The best preventative measure for this is to open terminal emulator and enter the following:

su

reboot nvbackup

Of course backing up the EFS cant hurt! But it may be confusing to some who have looked into this type of thing in the past for this device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
A few things I have noticed so far:

When no notifications displayed in statusbar it shows the carrier name.

Phone key tones (aosp style) doesn't appear to make a difference.

In Extra Settings > Notifications, scroll to the bottom and it shows SystemUI constantly "downloading"???

Call Recording is not working (it worked perfectly in Likewise) (may be due to my choosing the non-tw keypad tones in aroma. have not tested stock yet)

SystemUI will still FC once after first boot. But it should not happen again so this can be ignored.

I noticed that for both Auto-brightness and show battery percentage, it would revert to defaults soon after changing. Like the SystemUI FC, this only happened once and everything worked normally after setting the second time.

Tips:

In WiFi > Advanced --- Turn off Auto Connect to AT&T Hotspot

Set all animation scales in Developer Options to 0.5x

In Extra Settings, turn on Battery Notifications by default

I will see if these can be set by default in the next release.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
GPS is always on my mind.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Haven't had a chance to test it yet. But Likewise uses this as its base, and GPS worked just fine for me on it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Thanks doc, giving this a go!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
Thanks Doc! did you know why Walkman sound enchantments FC on this ROM maybe is TW thing? I used on others TW but on 4.4.2 got this problem any way Thanks for your awesome work for us!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm not really sure. When you flashed did you choose to install the Viper sound mod? If so that may have something to do with it. Otherwise my best guess would be that its no longer compatible with changes made in 4.4.2. Maybe there's a newer version you could try?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
Not sure but flash new v4.2 but screen still black any idea?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've no idea tbh. It might be something to bring to the app developers attention. Sounds like its probably an issue with the app/mod rather than a problem with the rom. Especially if its happening on all TW 4.4.2 ROMs. Sorry I don't have a better answer on that one...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
gps

Well said. I'm guessing you owned a Vibrant at one point. I have been able to play with the KK S3Rx for a little while and this is what I have found. I was one of the people having problems getting a gps lock. Once I settled down I found that after a reboot I would lose gps for 15-20 minutes. After that,gps locked quickly and with many sats untill next reboot. Then same waiting period. Small price to pay for such awesomeness.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Secthemechooser support for TW themes? Do they work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you try the nv rebuild fix?

That only happened to me a few times but now it always locks fast, even across reboots and rom flashes. This may or may not help at all, but you can try it if you like....

When everything is working good, locks in seconds, etc, run the nvbackup.

Open terminal emulator and enter this:

su

reboot nvbackup

It'll reboot and create a hidden, on device backup of your nv data, including imei and I believe GPS data. Every time you reboot it'll check for changes/corruption and if necessary will auto restore from that backup.

Don't know if it'll help in this case but its worth a try I think.

Not sure. Heard of it, but never used it before. If anyone cares to try I imagine any problems would be easily resolved by reflashing the rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonwon:
Anyone with this ROM having any issues with leaving the phone plugged in, screen on, battery draining? You will notice this when you pickup the phone and it is hot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sleeps17:
Setting the recording resolution in Camera to 720x480 causes it to force close.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
[MENTION=5266065]talkingmonkeys[/MENTION]

Didn't this happen on TMS3KK at one point? Was a fix ever found?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonk26.2:
I haven't had any problems with this to so far...no force closes...NFC works fine...I tried to recreate the camera fc...I don't see that resolution as an option..could be why you are getting FC's. I did a complete wipe before installing...so that might be the reason. Now my next challenge is talking my wife into installing this on her phone. Thanks doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey guys, I haven't tested this yet but enewman17s latest update is a unified build so you can flash it and choose t999 at the beginning and go from there.

I'll try to take a closer look at it soon just to double check it has all the changes I make for porting, but even if it doesn't it should still work pretty well. Depending on how things go today or tomorrow I may not be back on much for several days. Will do what I can to keep up though if I cant .

Here's the link to the other thread, its also in the op.

I did find a bug with the camera...I realized the fc that was reported was on video...so I tried that at the stated resolution...no cf but I get an overlay of the s-beam animation...and that happens on every resolution I tried.

Just the Note 2 and Note 3 cameras seem to have this issue from my testing and other user reports. I'll work on them later.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Negativezeroxxxx:
It seems ive gotten into some trouble... I tried installing this ROM after coming from a 4.4 aosp rom and ended up having to odin back to stock. So I tried updating my firmware to the latest release after flashing the stock factory image and rerooting etc and then flashing this rom but the same thing happened, stuck in a bootloop and when I try to reflash stock through odin it now says warranty bit 1 bootloader ap swrev 1 and it fails to flash the factory image, and i cannot get into recovery because that bootloops as well. Sorry for the long post but I tried reading up online but couldn't find any solutions
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds like you had updated to MJC, am I correct? What build is it failing to flash? What does it say in odins message box after it fails?

Just for future reference, this doesn't actually pertain to any rom. This would've been better in its own Q&A thread or in the firmware thread. No big deal, but just FYI.
