Try a Samsung custom theme with the theme engine built into eclipse. It has the same theme system as later Samsung devices so any Samsung s7 s6 and later note series themes on xda will work, there actually alot better looking then cmte in my opinion.

rodman01 is right, you have to tell more about your problem in odin, phone recognized or not, exact error message, etc.

Please also try another usb cable, maybe it's the culprit.

Although the most important feature that I was looking for, being able to customize the icons however I like is a "PRO" feature, Unicon is good.

Moving reply here because otherwise it would be /OffTopic

Well, to me, this is because touchwiz is super duper fugly, and also because it is stuck on KK. A lot of apps now only work in LP or higher (at least a lot of the ones I use) lastly because long live DuARTe

Well, because 1. we do use that kernel as it is cross compatible with our device and 2. the commits over on device tree side of things are super recent, in fact thank you very much for pointing me towards it, I will take a look at it and try to build. However why it'll be unlikely that we go official is because the patches affect not only our device, but other common repos as well, and these commits can potentially affect other devices' builds. Also, p.a.n's build instructions are very complete, if he did miss things out you could check out here, I personally followed that guide. Lastly, nightlies really don't bring a lot of new things to a rom except maybe new security patches once a month, and some experimental features that we dont need. If we did have access to CM's nightlies server that'll be super great but due to problems I listed above, I don't think this will happen until about 1 month later when someone finds out a cleaner way to fix the bugs we have.

Trouble restoring with Titanium Backup and CM 14.1

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right thread for questions like mine, but I did not find the Q&A thread for the [ROM][OFFICIAL][CM 14.1 Nightlies for SIII] any more...

I wanted to test the new CM 14.1 nightlies, and so I backed up all user apps to the SD card using Titanium Backup (like I did when previously switching CM versions).

Installation of the CM 14.1 nightly and pico gapps worked fine, then I installed Titanium Backup from the play store.

Now when running Titanium Backup it does not find any user apps to restore, and I do not find the settings anymore, where I could always set the data path (access to the main menu under CM 13. is by pressing the "menu" button (the one to the left of the home button).

Pressing this button in CM 14.1 gives me a list of currently running apps, apparently... So I do not know how to get to the settings for Titanium Backup.

Any help appreciated!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
I hope I've correctly understood what your issue is. You need to set the path to the storage location in the TB settings.

Maybe this might help: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66653845&postcount=3261. I apologise that the screenshots in that post are in German; however, the explanations are in English.

Hello,

first let me thank you for the quick reply. :good:

It is correct that I need to set the path to the storage location in the TB settings. But my problem is, that I cannot get to the TB settings in the first place... The menu button on my SIII no longer seems to be a menu button with CM 14.1 (20161208 nightly), but some sort of "display the currently running apps" button instead...

So I do not know how to get into the TB setting...

Once I would be there, your linked post would be helpful. :) (And German screenshots are no trouble for me, I am German.)

I'm running twice Resurrection Remix v5.8.0 and one RR v5.7.4 Sammy on three i9305, and none of them has this issue with TB.

Actually, just upgrade one to v5.8.0 minutes ago, and had to set the storage location in TB to obtain access to the back-ups.

Today, I flashed yesterdays release of [ROM][7.1.1_r4][i9305 OFFICIAL] Resurrection RemixÂ® N v5.8.0 [20/12/16] and also experienced the missing menu button in TB the first time.

I've noticed you often ask people to use the thanks button rather than simply say "thanks", it's a good thing and I agree, if people do so it allows to have a clean thread, that's why this button was created, but:

There are other gapps you can use(delta gapps, slim gapps to name 2), but it's strange you have issues with open gapps as I've never had any issues there.

If you have older packages, you can still use them. The play store apk and play services etc. will update themselves. You will find the google apps in the older package just need updating as well.

No, touchwiz(samsung) roms have only been released up to kitkat (4.4.4). There are very good touchwiz custom roms based on this android version. You could search for touchwiz-like cm themes for 5.x or 6.x cm-based roms on the market, but I haven't got any first hand knowledge of what is available or how good they are.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
You'll have to wait for a computer. If you can only go in download mode, the only solution is flashing stock ROM with Odin...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
A few months ago, I had an issue probably similar to yours. One of our i9305 was stuck at the Samsung logo that always appears when switching the phone on or when rebooting. I wasn't even able to switch the phone off and had to remove the battery for that. When inserting the battery again the phone automatically and immediately switched on but stayed at the Samsung logo. I was unable to enter the recovery mode either.

I searched the web and found a youtube video related to this issue. What I learnt: Probably it is not a software or ROM issue but maybe a hardware problem, and that actually proved to be correct. From now to then, the power button was stuck or let's call it permanently pressed i.e. it turned on but could not go into the booting sequence after the initial start as it was permanently repeating the intial starting sequence.

I positively solved the problem by following the tutorial video. I disassembled the phone and separated the logic board (all well explained in that video). At a pharmacy, I bought pure alcohol (about 92%). With a Q-tip dipped into the alcohol I cleaned the power button from the outside but immediately pressed the button afterwards multiple times for about a minute or two to allow the alcohol to go inside the power button. I waited about 15 minutes before reassembling the phone to allow the alocohol to completely evaporate. Important: Don't use any other liquid than alcohol; that might damage your device.

After reassembling, the former problem was gone, the phone started and booted as advertised; obviously, the power button was no longer stuck at the ON-position.

If I have time I try to find the video. If succesful I'm going to amend this post.

EDIT: Here's the link to the video I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI_hTPLzW28
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
He said he can go into download mode without problem so I guess if the power button was always pressed ON, it would also reboot from that mode, no?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
I think (but after such a "long" time I don't positively remeber) I was also able to access download mode - for whatever reason.

But in my case, the button was definitely stuck. If his isn't, fine. However, just wanted to consider also a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Yes, good. The hardware issue hint is interesting though.

In my case I just wanted to warn him before he begins to disassemble his friend's phone. :D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Oswald Boelcke:
Certainly, I see your point. However, disassembling was really easy and doesn't bear any risks in my opinion. I hope I find the video again then have a look yourself.

BTW: I remember I was surprised when I searched the web for a solution back then, how often the SGS3 obviously had this power button issue.

Anyhow, you might want not to throw your SGS3 away. Probably, you give it a try and see if its power button is really stuck. At least I'd be interested in this case. And at XDA, you don't need to apologise for language skills. For most of us, English isn't our mother tongue.

Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Camera Failed (?)

Sorry for the big post and thank you if you replied, in advance.

I have a problem with my camera i strongly believe its a hardware problem but i am seeking a last hope before i go buying new camera.

So there where 3 days in which i changed between some ROM's. To be specific there where 3 ROM's the first two ROM's had no problem with the camera but at the end i didnt liked them so i changed again a third time to the ROM i was at the first place and there suddenly i have a camera problem with the classic message "Warning: Camera Failed". So i started digging i found numerous patches 5 or 6 if i can recall correctly neither of them worked i tried between the kernels that exist for my variant neither of them worked too.I also replaced the .bin files in data/cfw with those from the patches that also didnt worked.

Those previous action's where while i was on 4.4.4 TW ROM (i also installed 4.3 TW stock ROM same problem there). Last i instaled stock android ROM 4.4.4 same problem again.

Is there any possibility that i didnt do something or is it indeed a hardware problem?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DJ aliasz3d:
It's a hardware problem. A main camera replacement on an s3 costs fifty dollars ( in Australia) labour and parts are included.

Edit: if you've dropped your phone lately that can break the camera internally too. Use the app z device test and anything not working will have a red X through it in the app. If it is happening on stock as well it is definitely hardware I saw a similar problem on an s3 recently.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Geo_Tech:
Yeap i just tried the app you suggested and there was an red X on camera. I found this on ebay and i am capable of changing it my self so the costs will be less :cool: . I only hope that the product isnt a scam. You can find it on amazon in the same price and in my country you can find it 10 euros more expensive. So i think that's the prizing of an S3 camera.

I9300, cm13 using in US, some issues

Picked up an i9300, orig set up for Israel (I9300JKUGNB2) Set it up to use in east coast US. Picked up a Cricket (AT&T) SIM and everything seemed fine on stock jb ROM. A few weeks ago I flashed latest twrp, full backup, moved backup to pc, then tried cm14 just to see how it ran. Was getting no sim error and a bunch of random crashes, so I wiped and tried cm13.

Everything seemed fine at first, but quickly started getting intermittent NO SIM and or No Network Detected error. Some times it'll stay connected for days, then on a reboot it'll tell me no sim. Might stay that way for a minute or a day. In the same area, it might have 4 bars on hspa+, then for no reason it drops out to no network. Sometimes a reboot helps. I'm wondering if its stuck on bands not present here and refuses to scan to other bands, if that makes sense.

I've read quite a few places about flashing a new modem file(s) to fix this, but the OP on the "here's all the 9300/9305 modems" thread said he didn't want a bunch of "which modem" questions cluttering that up, and I couldn't find a better thread answering that question.

So question about the few issues I'm having:

is the modem flash the likely fix? where can I find which modem files to try flashing? Or at least an educated guess at how to start working through the options.

also having minor display issues. I've turned off most automatic brightness adjustment settings (live display, etc), but still the screen will randomly get bright. If I bring up the brightness slider (set low) and adjust it, brightness drops back down to where it should be. Setting or fix I'm missing?

phone also seems to sleep sooner than the 30 sec I set it to. Sometimes very shortly (a couple srconds) after touching the screen. Anyone have ideas on that?

with a 16gb phone, coming from jb/kk, what do y'all recommend for SD card/storage setting? My old phone was 4gb link2sd'd to a 32gb sim I moved over here. Didn't realize MM changed storage settings so much.

It's a GSM phone and at&t is a GSM network, I would check the frequency they use and see what frequency the phone was originally meant to use especially if it was a carrier phone.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] njank:
yeah, I did look into that before I picked up the phone. it's the international version, but the hardware at least overlaps with AT&T/Cricket GSM and UMTS bands (850 and 1900). Supposedly the int'l version hardware will cover 850, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GjV6o/samsung-gt-i9300-galaxy-s-iii-64gb

I didn't have any connection issues here prior to flashing the ROM, but didn't take careful note of how it was connecting either. haven't forced 2G, but I've seen it connect at UTMS, HSPA and HSPA+ in areas where phone suddenly refuses to connect.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...alaxy-s-iii-16gb-galaxy-s3/at-t-united-states

Israel seems to use 850, 900, 2100.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...g-gt-i9300-galaxy-s-iii-16gb-galaxy-s3/israel

I just don't know much about what a modem file or RIL(?) affects. Would it change which frequency bands the phone does or doesn't try to look for? From other threads I'm realizing that 'what modem should i use?' is a question with little use. But rather than stumbling blindly through the list is there a recommended approach to trying them out? Should I look for a countries that seems to also cover the 850/1900 AT&T bands and try those first?
