I see you went with xplosion audio rather than viper4android. Any problem if I remove xplosion or does it sound better? In your opinion?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Xplosion Audio works with Viper... It's under the hood and in every one of my ROMs (it's actually my mod ;)). Just make sure you remove system/app/MusicFX.apk after installing Viper4Android. I actually just optimized SoundAlive to make it more S5 like.

In this latest version of the ROM the capitol one bank app was fc when trying to pull up a drop down menu...it worked in the wicked 8.0 is there something ROM related that may cause it or is it just something on their back end? Thanx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Like a notification you were trying to click on? Or the app force closed when you pulled down the notification panel? Trying clearing the app's data and cache, I just had to do that for my PNC app earlier today. Secure apps like that have problems with custom ROMs sometimes (especially with SElinux in permissive)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
No it fc in the app when clicking button to show drop down menu to choose which account to use. I tried clearing cache and data and still fc at that point
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Clean install of the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fly4awhtgye:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
sorry for the hounding lol but as always i love your rom Ryan :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
Loved the preview of this ROM but was unable to use hotspot. Is hotspot working in v1.0? As always your ROM rocks otherwise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It is for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrLipschitz:
Ok thanks. One more question: will my reflash process have to involve usin odin/download mode? B/c the one caveat to my device is usb connection - it is very fickle and my last reliable usb cable just broke so having my computer recognize it is not gonna happen. Sorry if the answer to this question was implied in ur response. Just want to make sure im understanding it correctly.

Tl;dr My bootloader is already nd8 according to the liquidsmooth statistics so i should be able to pass go, collect $200, and not have to worry about any odin flashing (just flash a stock 4.4.2 AOSP rom), correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yep, if your Bootloader is already ND8, no need to worry about it.

I flashed a splash screen which had the stock galaxy s3 look. However it came with its kernel and it overwrote ktoonze's, I didn't know it was going to do that. I just wanted the stock s3 splash screen. Anyways where can I find the appropriate ktoonzes kernel zip to just flash it over what I just flashed? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The splash screen is in the kernel. If you still have the KTweaker app and it doesn't force close when changing settings, then it just flashed the same kernel with the stock splash screen. There is also a Wicked splash screen in post #3 made with ktoonsez's KT747 kernel if it did overwrite. ktoonsez's thread is in Original Development.

Got it, I used this and all is well... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800576 If you don't mind me asking is it possible to add your own custom picture like you did with your wicked splash screen? Or if anyone can provide me to the proper link I will take it from there. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yes it is possible, it involves converting an image of a certain size into a certain format (not one of the regular jpeg or pngs). I did not do the Wicked splash screen (credit goes to the_original_teknikl), so no I don't have any info on it, but [MENTION=5104057]6th_Hokage[/MENTION] should be able to help you out.

Here are the things draining my battery any help would be appreciated. I came from tribute Rom to this one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Try using a battery app to recalibrate. Try different kernels If you're using tweaker or any country control app and you adjusted the country settings switch to on-demand.

Can I flash this rom if I'm on the NJ3 bootloader?

Probably. Make sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY and if something happens you can recover.

Did you follow the instructions in the OP? As in, clean flash, checked md5sum, etc?

i love this rom its great ...i was just wondering if there was a way to theme the system menu like the lollipop roms i tried one and ealier and i realy like the white system menus if yo cant thats ok its still a great rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Like this? Working on it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
So here is something strange. I can't reboot when issuing the reboot command from the terminal:

root@klte:/system/bin # reboot
reboot: no such tool
255|root@klte:/system/bin # ./reboot
./reboot: no such tool
255|root@klte:/system/bin # sh reboot
reboot[1]: syntax error: 'HS4,4' unexpected
1|root@klte:/system/bin #

From what I've read it's an issue with the "toolbox" binary not having "reboot" in it? Can anyone else reboot from the terminal? Of course you have to su first. My wife is running like 4.1.x and it works fine on her S3. I just don't know what to do. I installed the latest busybox but it doesn't have a "reboot" command or "module"....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Is she rooted? If so grab the toolbox binary (system/bin) from her phone and try it on yours.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
Yes, she's rooted. She's on 4.1.3 I can try that. Hopefully if it messes anything up I'll be able to put the other one back ok ;) I'll post back with the results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Nice. I'm gonna have to buy you a beer bro!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
Ok I copied the toolbox binary from her 4.1 ROM to this one and it DOES allow me to reboot, (all I wanted to do was "reboot nvbackup") and that worked. HOWEVER... when launching terminal I get some errors:

/system/bin/sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[9]: getprop: can't execute: Permission denied
su
root@android:/ #

I didn't get these errors with the toolbox binary originally supplied in your ROM. So I don't know why the original one won't reboot, but for now I'm going to just put it back instead of my wife's toolbox binary. If you want I can post her binary if you need to take a look at it. Just let me know. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

And then I wasn't able to copy the original toolbox back to /system/bin!!! GOOD THING I made a backup of the system partition before I did that! Just restored it and now the original toolbox is back and not giving me that error when launching terminal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's kinda weird though, I didn't take anything out of the binary folder... I only added to it. I've personally never used the reboot command from terminal, I always used QuickBoot or an on screen power button. So I don't know what ROMs it works on. I'll see if I can find a working one for you. Yes if you could post it so I can look at the differences.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
Ok, there it is. Be curious to know what you find out. Also I tried "toolbox /?" "toolbox -help", couldn't find an output of commands or version number... not sure if it does that or not. Maybe I just don't know the right command / syntax...

There are clock options in wanam. I have mine centered with the am/pm hidden... power option probably coming later

No.. . I am using APEX and it works perfectly with it.. unless I'm in Easy Mode Home Screen. Here is a Screen Shot with it active now. See on the left. It now works and I also used the Multi-4 mod and all good

Finally took the plunge to nd8 and flashed this rom. Been running for 3 days no issues to date but will keep you posted. Thanks for all your hard work on this project..loving it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petermg:
OK... found out some more very useful info. My wife has the NON "T" version of the S3, while I have the "T" version. I updated her phone to the latest Sprint 4.4.2 L710VPUDND8. The command "reboot" works PERFECTLY from the terminal emulator on her version and it's the EXACT SAME BINARY as the one I'm using that will NOT work on my phone on this ROM. I'm wondering if it's possibly related to the kernel I had to flash because I'm on the "T" version? Now mind you I have NOT put this ROM on her phone, it is ONLY the stock Sprint version. But like you said you didn't do anything with the toolbox binary and I can attest that this same toolbox works fine on my wife's phone with the STOCK Sprint 4.4.2 ROM. The only thing I've not done is flash your ROM onto my wife's phone and see how the command works. I don't know if she wants a custom ROM right now or not.. but we'll see ;)

thanks for the suggestions, I've re-calibrated my battery and turned off everything that sync's aromatically. Also I downloaded one of the profiles from Ktweaker min 378Mhz max 1512Mhz Gov ktoonserative Shed row. I'm still get 20 % Google services and 17% Android sys usage.

Thanks for the reply. I did check the download to make sure it was the complete file. Still getting battery drain.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
How old is your battery? It's recommended by Samsung you change it every 6 months... might be time for a new one (extended batteries are awesome, you barely notice the extra bulk).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmicasa the Great XvX:
First and foremost this ROM is now OUTSTANDING

Maybe I had to let it settle in but no issues at all and smoooooooooooooth as Quick-Butter :cool:

Previous issues are gone. Lag is gone. I am even able to now use my TouchPal keyboard with no stutter. Using KT Interactive, Noop, 486min /1674max with Gentle Sleepers disabled and no augmentations to the Voltages

Only issue I have is that on Wicked 8.0 there was a SECONDARY blocking mode in setting that killed even the notification that someone called. This version no longer has that. Is there a fix or something I'm missing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
What are "Gentle Sleepers"? I looked through my ktweeker app and didn't see that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmicasa the Great XvX:
"Gentle Fair Sleepers"

Go under Scheduler/SD Setting and its the 3rd down
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
This isn't Wicked X, nor will it have the same mods as Wicked X. It's a different ROM. Have you looked into the VIP Mode app? I don't have anyone I wish to block, so I don't use the feature. I actually didn't even know that was in there because the_original_teknikl did that mod. I've been trying to get ahold of him for months and I've gotten no response.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmicasa the Great XvX:
I kno it isn't Wicked X, but I figured that since its a part of the basic S rom it would be in here. And NO.. but I will look into the VIP section.

Its not that I need to block anyone in particular, but I have all my calls forwarded to another phone (a little flip-phone I wear on my belt) because Sprint's free call forwarding only forwards after it rings to the original number several times without being answered
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's actually not in the S ROMs at all. Try stock again, it's not there.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cwhatever:
Great job Ryan! Runs smooth as can be. Does anyone know if themes will be made for this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you want themes use Wicked X, there won't be any themes for this because the point of it is to look like the S5.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
White theme and chad the pathfinder black and blue theme
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Both are only minor though. I'm definitely not a themer, I just changed a color.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
The white theme is from nyfl2004. I took the framework.res apk ,twframework.res and secsettings. And the contacts and phone apk pushed with root explorer then flashed the black and blue theme. Not crazy about the white though.lol... oh there is two contact apk in the privapp file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah, I don't know what happened there. It'll be fixed eventually.

thats fine.hey if you need a tester let me know.i like messing around...yea and with the contact.apk one is stock the other is the s5.........flashing back to my nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 555rt:
Hey Ryan, I don't know if you seen my fix in my earlier post on the custom ringtone issue. I got a custom ringtone assigned to each of my contacts now without it crashing.Just delete SecContacts.apk and keep SecContacts_OSup.apk and SecContactsProvider.apk.

I noticed my other fav rom, Wicked-X didn't even have the SecContacts.apk file, that's what gave me the idea to delete it. If I remember right, my icon disappeared too, just had to drag it back to the home page from the app drawer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caderyn19:
Besides this issue, I'm loving this ROM!

I'm having an issue with the external SD card permissions. My camera works fine and saves my pics to the external, but one thing I noticed is that whatever extra I do to the SD card gets lost when I reboot. For instance, I reinstalled everything through TB and I went to recovery to install the Xposed framework. The zip to flash wasn't created and I got stuck in a boot loop, so I had to reflash. Well, after wiping for a new install I found out my Wicked zip disappeared from my external SD and was not where it was on my internal.

When I finally got a new copy of Wicked and reinstalled it, whatever I did on my external (folder creation, copying from internal to external) was all lost, and the files are no longer on the internal either. I'm currently using ES to search for an archive I had on internal and moved to external, and it's not on either.

Another example, I have four APKs on my external in a folder called Games. I create a folder called Android inside my Games folder and move those four APKs into the Android folder. When I reboot the phone, the APKs are in the Games folder and the Games>Android folder is nonexistent. I have done it probably five times now and it doesn't stick. Is this a permissions issue or what is supposed to happen with this whole KitKat SD blocking Google so idiotically put in place?

One thing to note, after my wicked zip disappeared, I went to stock rooted and I got the "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Reboot to revert changes." message. That's Knox right? I did a little exploring and someone mentioned the honeypot worm or something like that...? Could that be related? I could care less if Knox was tripped...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
For sd card fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743840

Edit: I'm not sure if this is what you need or not but it worked for me when I was having SD card trouble. I didn't flash the zip. I did the edit manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
That's strange a lot of people have reported on 4.4.2 custom roms (including this one) that they have had issues with either internal SD or external SD yet I cannot recreate those issues nor have I ever had an issue......It might be the way I flash those same roms, when I do a full wipe in PhilZ or in TWRP I also factory reset my internal SD then I flash the Rom from my external SD. When I boot I don't get any issue with my SD cards....Those of you that don't get the SD issues, do you flash the way I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I do now but I found a while back that if you don't format your internal SD, you sometimes run into that along with some other minor issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Unmount external sdcard before you flash Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
There are a lot of issues when switching between tw and aosp too. Every time I switch between those I always format my internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
Guess in this way I've been lucky, always flash from internal. LP, Wicked, CM11 and Liquid Smooth. Never had a problem always use Philz.

I did however come across a situation earlier today where this extremely well crafted ROM left me hanging (see attached picture). When moving heavy equipment like a 2 ton surface grinder don't forget A BODY IN MOTION TENDS TO STAY IN MOTION. The weight of this bad boy shifted by no more than an inch while try to raise it off its pallet. We got the hoist after the incident. God I do hate when I go stupid, just glad no one was seriously hurt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Are you trying to say this rom saved your life?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenjesse:
Lol.. nope the ROM just sat there playing Netflix never warned me I was about to have a seriously stupid moment. Hey but otherwise I'm here to testify that this is an awesome DD ROM. [emoji2]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
just my two cents, but I have always flashed everything from external SD and I never have issues - with philz or any other recovery -

from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?
