OK, this is just a shot in the dark, but try this.

Go to /data/app

Copy com.google.android.gms-2.apk to /system/app

Go to /data/app-lib/ com.google.android.gms-2

Copy all files inside to /system/library

Open app management and uninstall Google Play Services

Clear data on all other Google apps (play store, Gmail, Google services framework, etc)

Reboot and setup your account

Test
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No, it shouldn't be doing that.

Go into developer options and set all animation scales to 0.5x and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mervingio:
Thanks Doc but I resolve the issue simply install Google Play Services and Done!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lemonboi5:
LikeWise S5 has been transformed into some AWESOMENESS, some awesomeness so awesome, I'd never been able to turn it into something this big :D Great Work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Anthonol:
So if I do a factory reset / format system and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the ROM and reboot system. If I want to flash a custom kernel, can I just reboot into recovery, flash the kernel then wipe cache and dalvik without issues after rebooting, assuming that the kernel is compatible with the ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
ALL credit goes to you and the other devs in the OP! Who knows how far behind we'd be without your original rom! Its good to see both you and saranhai are still around too!

First, I highly suggest you Do Not wipe system! If something happens and it refuses to flash, you're stuck with no OS and it can be a huge PITA to get one back! Only wipe system manually if absolutely necessary in certain situations. If the rom is going to flash, it will format system itself before doing so.

And second, there is no other kernel we can use right now. Kt747 is it. Sorry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Taling:
i cant download nothing on GooglePlay :l

said error (RPC:S-3)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you factory reset after flashing? If so, reflash, but don't wipe anything this time.

Otherwise, try clearing data on Google Play Services, play store, gmail and Google Services Framework. Then reboot and wait a few minutes before trying again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] talkingmonkeys:
Great work doc! I need to make a post so I can follow this thread too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Why cant people read the damn 1st post! No other kernels will work, stop asking, its in red letters!! you should let them flash a different kernel and have a problem so they can learn to read instructions!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cokewins:
Great work devs! Been using this rom on v2.5 for a long time and now moved to 4.1.

Has anyone noticed a problem with their battery % on the status bar? It will show up when I enable it, but then disappear after a minute. It will only come back if I disable and then re-enable it, but then disappear again after a minute.

Also, the swype functionality of the default keyboard doesn't seem to work for me. It swypes and I see the trail, but the word is not input. Anyone else see this problem?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Regarding the keyboard issue, it was suggested by Doc to update the english language data base in keyboard settings. Update and see if that works
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cokewins:
That did it! Sorry for asking a repeat question :)

Now to figure out the battery % and it's back to DD status
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I will look that over when i get home tonight.

I noticed the battery % went away the first time I set it, but its been fine ever since. Are you using any of the different styles in OG Battery mod along with it? If so, try using the stock battery icon and see if it makes a difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
No need to apologize, this was suggested at a different thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdotdot:
You have to enable it in OG battery mod. Go to settings->extras->battery (or something like that)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cokewins:
I wasn't aware of OG Battery Mod. It looks like it might be conflicting with the stock battery percentage. I'll just use OG Battery Mod styles as they seem to work.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cly1025:
the battery life is much better than the one I used (the sprint one I guess), it drains much slower
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Hi Doc. So I assume this is the correct port to my T999. You had me worried in the other similar thread. Thank god you warned me to not flash the other Likewise port from that other thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] awalysis:
Pls is the incremental update 4.1.1 from at&t included too or it will be okay to flash that one. I'm just asking
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Things are running great on my side so far, no reboots. However, I've found a few things I dislike about the update.

1. The layout grid of the launcher and app drawer. Stock grids would be great.

2. No galaxy app store, which is needed for Galaxy Gear

3. Galaxy Gear connects thru bluetooth but it doesn't give the option to download Gear Manager (because of missing galaxy app store?)

4. Is it just me or battery is draining awfully fast? Its gone down 5% within 10 minutes on stand by (This is after everything has settled, sync/location off).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] talkingmonkeys:
It will work with this just the same
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] epicboy:
So I just realized my phone isnt vibrating. I flashed this ROM yesterday and don't remember if at any time it had vibrated or if I somehow turned it off from a setting (maybe something that had to do with haptic feedback?). Anyone know anything about this?

Vibration intensity is set to the highest level. I get no vibration or haptic feedback at all not even from pressing keys.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
What wizardry is this? This ROM is awesome! Everything is running so smoothly. No problems encountered on my side. Brings some serious life back to the S3 with TouchWiz.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I noticed that this morning as well - mind you, I had it plugged in overnight. After abnormally heavy use today, I had to plug it in again. However, I noticed that, once the phone said the battery was charged, I unplugged it immediately and it didn't drain as fast as it did this morning.

I wonder if charging it overnight overcharged the battery and it was trying to discharge it faster than normal? Once I noticed this, I rebooted the phone and the battery drain seemed to disappear.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It wasnt the rom i was warning about. It was the NE4 firmware you asked about. The rom itself wouldnt cause any harm, but that firmware would hard brick it and our debrick method wouldnt work.

Not sure what the stock launcher is for.... But the other two items are already built in to ours. Should be fine to flash though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ill ask about the first 3. Im sure more options will become available in the near future. In the meantime, you can grab the apps you need from another rom and copy them to the right location and set permissions.

See my answer below about battery.

I have a suspicion for what may be causing some battery drain. It may be related to that single SystemUI FC after first boot.

I'll be adding this to the OP later, but after flashing and setting up, wait a couple of minutes and reboot. Hopefully it'll take care of the battery drain.

Mines vibrating normally. If you are testing by sending yourself SMS, back out if the apo before you receive it or it won't vibrate. Also check in sound, messaging, call and Samsung apps settings. There are several locations you can toggle vibration. Make sure the ones you want are on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Taling:
All god :D

work great this ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JJMiller35:
This Rom is working wonderful for me! I love it. Only issue I have had so far is that when I hold in the home button and choose to close all active programs. It then hangs sometimes and reboots the phone. Not sure if anyone else is having similar issues. Thank you again for a great Rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fcortes626:
did anyone find a solution to the 5 sec screen timeout not changing. When i go to change it it selects the other options but then when i select it the pop up message comes up and it says it is set to 5 sec. what would you guys suggest? I literally have to hold the screen while waiting for an app to open or for something to load if not the screen turns off and the phone goes to the lock screen.

Edit: i found a solution.go to settings and under sound and display tap on lock screenthen on secured lock time and make sure the first one isnt selected.

I do have another problem. when i clear cache and dalvik cache i get a boot loop. then i try to flash the rom again and i get an error. i then have to flash a different rom make it boot and then go back to recovery and flash this rom again for it to work. It does it if i do a factory reset before flashing the rom too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cly1025:
I found an issue , when the battery is low, my phone will keep rebooting/freezing, is there any setup to fix this?:crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
My best guess is theres an app that is causing problems when trying to rebuild the DC.

What error does it give you when you reflash? Can you attach the recovery.log?

Are you on the latest version? There was a similar issue on earlier ones where it would have problems plugged in when it reached full charge if battery notifications was on. I haven't seen this in a while though and haven't seen what you described at all.

Is your battery getting old? As it gets low the voltage it can push drops. This drop becomes more significant on older batteries. It may not be supplying enough power to effectively run things. If you are overclocked it could make this worse.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fcortes626:
i dont remember what it said. do i have to save the lod right after i ge the error or can i get the log after? i have the rom running right now after i installed another rom and then this rom over it.i just didnt clear chache or dalvik cache but it seems to be working fine right now but would probably bootloop if i clear the cache.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cly1025:
there was no such problem with other ROMS, this is the first time I saw this on this ROM, so it must be the problem of the ROM, not my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It has to be done before rebooting after flashing.

If you do try clearing cache again, try to start a logcat right before. I think talkingmonkeys has a link in his sig for how to use logcat

If you're not sure.

Clearing dalvik while the rom is running isn't a good idea if that's what you tried. But doing so will definitely cause reboots. I won't ask you to do it again now since yours is the only report I've seen like this. But when you do, try to remember to capture those logs. Otherwise its just too hard to diagnose.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to argue or "defend" this rom or something like that, but if it were a problem with the rom itself, we would be hearing more reports similar to yours.

But as of right now, you are the only one who has had a problem like this, which leads me to believe its something other than the rom. (Unless you are using a unique combination of settings no one else has tried yet.)

Have you tweaked any kernel settings via the ktweaker app? Have you applied any separate mods? Using any xposed mods? It could also be an app that hasn't been coded to properly work with kk. Have you tried investigating by grabbing a logcat? If it is somehow rom related there's nothing anyone can do without a logcat to show what is causing the problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
2 questions:

1) Is the MMS issue fixed in the rom?

2) Will there be a new uodate soon?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What MMS issue?

Probably. There is a new build up from enewman17, I just haven't been able to work on it yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] talkingmonkeys:
Neither have I. Still need to update tms3kk too. This ROM is running flawless for me with great battery life for the last 2 weeks. I may be theming s5 apps for my ROM next update too.

Its just a matter of having the free time to get to it working so much more and always having stuff to do off here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lilajrestnom:
This ROM is great, but I have one small issue. When I disable the double tap home button for S-voice from the extra settings, if I double tap the home button it gives me a toast saying "application not installed" and opens the play store to search for something it can't find. I get the same result when I set the seach app to Google.

My temporary solution was to disable the play store. This way I get the toast notification but it doesn't do anything else.

Is there a way to just disable the double tap home from doing anything? Id rather use the app for when I need to search something and keep the home button for going to the home screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JJMiller35:
I discovered the hold home to close active apps problem with it hanging and then reboot only happens when plugged in to charger. It doesnt have any issues when running unplugged.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Any idea what com.sec.knox.eventsmanager does? I noticed it in my Greenify list. I wonder if it's a "left over" from Knox removal.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Hi Doc. Ok, so theres no MMS issue. It must be an issue on another port then that I mistook this port for. Looking forward to the next update. Thanks Doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shinkien:
try setting google as the app, toggling the check mark then rebooting. i had the same problem and this eventually fixed things for me.

great rom guys. getting the most mileage out of this old device. thanks!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Thanks for keeping this ROM alive, Doc.

Can anyone confirm text and phone blocking feature in this ROM please? I read somewhere Google was not including these functions in Android 4.4 and newer versions and you would need to resort to an app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illstatic:
It's here you dont need an app
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] slowDSM:
I have this rom running on my wife S3 and will love to have something similar on my S4 (i337) but didnt find anything. Any recommendations???:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] indigold:
when i plug in my charger phone charging shows on phone locked screen but the charge icon dosent show the animation on it. what do i do
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Try different battery icon and animation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illstatic:
Whenever I close notification that's been there for a while i get a system ui fc or when i play music every once in a while it'll fc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Haven't HD that happen to me. I'll try to leave some notifications alone for a while though to test. About how long would you say you left them there? Does it ever happen if you swipe a notification away right away?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anderson79:
hi install this rom on a T999 and from time to time the calls are cut someone knows why

sorry for my bad english
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
I love the rom and the option to use secthemes! Would really love to see the option for stock grid launcher and drawer, and an option for bloatware so we can delete what we dont need.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illstatic:
Not sure on either one of those questions im just assuming
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Havent installed the rom yet. But someone requested an option to delete bloatware. Does the rom have bloatware? If so, how can we delete it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
I use titanium backup to delete the bloat I don't need. You can download this app from the market.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Will Titanium delete the bloat pernanently?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Down to the root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Freeze everything you want to remove first and test for a day, just to be safe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Thanks Jay Rock and Doc! I'll do as you instructed Doc.. Thanks man!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fatboyRICH:
Me Too

I have two T999's. On one, this ROM and SRX4.0 will run perfect. On the other T999, the 4.4TW ROMS won't run at all. As you experienced, constant FC's by almost every system service. Constant freezes, random reboots. I don't get it. How can 2 identical phones react so differently to the same software??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
I am running the NC2 bootloader with this ROM and it runs fine and stable except...no GPS at all. That's so far the only sacrifice in this ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdotdot:
GPS works here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] patcal:
How much system ram are you all having free after flashing? On my T999L I have less then 200mg left out of 2gigs.. Is that acceptable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
It does not here. Clean flash, latest bootloader, NVDATA and EFS are fine too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
I have found that with these ATT builds that gps wont turn on for a little while after boot. It then will work great until next reboot. This is consistent with my device , but may vary from device to device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Even I can't run any TW Rom after 4.1 on my SGH-T999 as on all TouchWiz roms I am getting call issues and on outgoing calls other person can't listen and no issues on incoming calls.

I tried almost all TouchWiz roms but all have some issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shermer321:
Any possibility of a more up to date kernel? I hate when the phone dies and you put it on the charger it does an endless boot loop. Or when on the charger it still seems to drain the battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
I wish I could say the same.

What is bolded does not sound like a software problem (and I never had that issue with this ROM). I'd advise to change perhaps battery, cables, charger or where you plug the charger.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
For those with GPS issues. Run through the GPS fix found in the sticky roll up in Q&A. Has fixed it for almost everyone.

As for those having problems with the rom not running right at all, relax the latest 4.3 firmware and factory reset. Flash recovery and then the rom. If it's still giving issues, it'll probably be the kernel. Some devices apparently just don't like kt747 for some reason.

There are people working on other kernels, but I haven't had time to keep up with progress on them.

You guys are remembering to keep up with the att threads too right? Most, if not all issues and releases get addressed there first in most cases.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
I'm afraid of installing this rom because of issues with GPS, fc's, etc. Can someone explain why fatboyRICH has no issues on his T999 with this rom but on his other T999 it wont work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shinkien:
did you overclock? had this same issue every time i went past 1512 on the max.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Read my post above yours
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And you shouldn't let what only a very few people have experienced keep you from trying any rom. It's not the norm, but if you do have problems just flash back to what you're using now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kimbo1986:
No FC here, GPS is working flawless for me as well. Thanks Doc!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] patcal:
Anybody? Like to know if this matters,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kimbo1986:
I cant say what it was right after the flash but with all apks closed I sit at 800mb free.

I freeze a substantial amount of system apks and greenify any waking or apps with push notifications, so Im sure that makes a difference. Also im not sure I would be so worried about free ram, from what I have learned over the years is that android can run very smooth with very little ram. 2gb is a lot and there isnt any app out there that even comes close to using that much, at most a couple hundred MB. Yea if you have a lot of backround apps running your ram will diminish but android has good ram managment and it will close out any running apps your not using to make room.

Now if you have no apps open and the system is using 1.3gb then there is probably an issue, but its highly unlikely that thats the issue. Download greenify from the market and run it. It will show you what apps are running in the backround including system apks.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
No problem, Doc.. I appreciate your confidence in this rom. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] patcal:
I am going to reflash & see what I get. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
Did everything and found it is true the GPS does take its sweet time to start after a reboot, but it does. I can now hope we get a further optimized kernel for this. I saw one kernel that is stockish at the AT&T thread but...it lacks Trinity Colors :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Philosuffer:
Same for me. Also tried the GPS fix from the rollup sticky post in the Q&A section.

After a reboot, GPS appears non-existent, not even a GPS icon in the status bar when opening apps that use GPS. Even after doing an AGPS reset in GPS Status and Toolbox, or downloading AGPS assistance data, or toggle location off/on GPS will appear non-existent.

Then after about 5 minutes it will magically start working, and the GPS icon will show up in the status bar. GPS will lock within 5-10 seconds and it will work like normal until the next reboot.

For what it's worth, also had this issue on the Sprint ND8 Port.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Yes Doc Even though I have issues with TouchWiz roms but I never stopped using or at least trying these

From past 24 hrs I am using S3Rx build for our devices on ATT forum
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
After closing all unneeded apps, I'm using about 850mb.

it's more than we are really used to on stock roms, but don't forget likewise is running a lot of stuff intended for the S5. Doesn't surprise me at all that it'd be using more memory. As far as only having 200mb free, that's always been normal after having run several apps for a while. It's just how android works. Perfectly normal.

I ran the GPS fix once, then after used GPS status from the store. It quickly found a bunch of satellites and I never had problems again. Try running that app to see if it helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
I am having the same issue where the GPS starts only after some minutes being toggled on. Clean flash, latest modem/BL. I also ran your GPS fix suggestion. I also even restored the whole NVDATA through a tool to see if that was it. Nope. Same issue every boot. It is so far an annoyance everytime you reboot and want to use the GPS. Oh well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm not sure why it seems to affect some like that while it seems to work just fine for others. In cases like that I usually suspect it may be due to a newer hardware revision. Though I've never really looked into that to verify....

As for the NV Data work you mentioned, be careful! I don't suggest messing with that unless absolutely certain it is absolutely necessary. I've seen too many people cause permanent problems either due to a simple mistake, or changing something they were sure was safe to change!

We may get a chance to look into the GPS issues after a while. I just can't make any promises right now as I've barely even been able to sign on here lately!
