after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...

make it stop!
I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works
I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.
I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

For those wondering:
I flashed Calk's Stock EL13 ROM with the EK02 kernel. At first glance, it appears the dreaded "soundpool" bug which causes several games to crash without notification may be gone!
I tested with Plants Vs. Zombies, which had crashed consistently on the same level on EG30 and EK02. I've been playing for a half hour without crashing.
This may be preliminary, but for those waiting on the fix for this problem it certainly seems promising.
Subject is a little misleading.... I thought that it actually had the issue hahah
Download one if the Nintendo or Snes emulators, run a ROM (game), if it closes within 5-10 minutes its still there. The emulators are where this bug really shines.

Thanks I'm glad they actually fixed it, now no LOS and the sound pool is fixed, my opinion of Samsung has changed. Im glad they are making an effort to fix phone issues lately, instead of abandoning support after release like they used to.
i've never seen it, but it sounds like a pain
there are actually a bunch of people who are claiming that calks rom has fixed the issue

I've been using Calkulin 2.0 (based on EK02) along with Rogue Stock 1.1.1 (also EK02 based) and I have yet to crash playing pocket legends. I would always crash ~5 minutes in on anything EG30.
I agree. I have been playing some games here and there and no crash or FC's.

I can confirm that another game suffering from this bug is dungeon defenders. Its practically impossible to finish the first map without crashing. Usually around wave 4.

EK02 sorry. I haven't tested the new rom yet.
Great to hear that this is probably fixed. Unfortunately, I won't be using EL13 as it seems it brought back LoS. Or at least some bad signal issues where you basically lose service when Wifi is turned on and you leave Wifi range.
Does anyone know if Swype was updated again? The last update in EK02 that fixed the spacing bug introduced a new one.
You could always flash the radio or modem that gives you the best service

True, it's worth a shot. It's not entirely determined by the modem, though, so it may not work. LostKernel on EG30 and Rogue on EK02 each get rid of LoS, but I'm still on the EG30 modem. I'll keep an eye on things, if it seems like using the EL13 system alone won't cause the issues, I'll try it out.

What modem are you using with the EL13 rom when you get the LOS? Are you using the EL13 modem or a different one?
I'm not on EL13, I'm just reading the threads about it. Multiple people starting at post 68 have the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389874&page=7. I'm about to ask, but I'm thinking they are all on the EL13 modem.
I'm on ek02 stock ota. And I played wreck less racing for like an hour yesterday without even thinking about it. So I don't think the latest leak has anything to do with it....
Thanks to rockypr for his idea to do this on FH23. List all the fixes, bugs, additions or whatever you want to discuss about the FI25 Leak.
I will start.
Additions/Changes:
1. Removed ability to choose between MTP or Mass Storage.
2. Removed the Back up and reset option under settings.
3. Much more stable! "rwilco12"
4. Feels super smooth !"rwilco12"
5. Picture messages now send on 3G. "rwilco12"
6. Connections seem to be much faster. "rwilco12"
7. Battery percentage icon is off by default again. "rwilco12"
8. Several updated bloatware apps. "rwilco12"
9. Connection Optimizer is removed. "tdunham"
10. Bootanimations appear to be working again. "tdunham"
11. Removed contact tab from dialer again. "manufan721"
12. Out of Office editing works again! "rwilco12"
13. Battery monitor for devs is removed. "rwilco12"
14. Sprint Zone has a voice. "rwilco12"
15. It seems they added an extra font called Helvetica Neue. "Dvin211"
Bugs/Issues:
1. The Recent Apps thing, where it isn't transparent if you have 3 or less apps in it, still exists.
2. The led notification light does not pulse while charging. "someguyatx"
3. Bluetooth is not functioning properly. "grncherry" For me it was constantly dropping the connection.
4. My WiFi just stopped connecting out of the blue.
Some quotes from the community:
Hmmm.....i flashed and it seemed laggy to me, modem worked great. "manufan721"
This modem really helped with low signal. "revamper"
Data speeds greatly improved and get signal before where i never used to! "elliwigy"
Holy crap this ROM is fricken smooth! Scrolling on it is nice finally! "daniel4653"
Coming from FI03 I'm finding this build to be laggy at times with a couple freeze ups when opening apps- Market , Gmail & Working in settings which reminds me of the young ICS bad days. Data transfer is slower. "sling"
I went back to FH13 today. FI25:not good modem. very slow. Some hicups opening apps. They took away some functions. :banghead: I did not feel much improvement from FH13 or to be more accurate from FI03. "Omar04"
Battery life has greatly increased. "IamFlynn"
I'll second Omar on the FH25 modem. Its terrible for me. The ROM is alright, a little bit smoother and more crisp than FH13, but not enough for me to change my daily setup. "boXerrumble "

Fu#*! I didn't notice that yet. Haven't had a chance to use the rom yet. That blows. I don't know why they are mucking with it so much. I don't understand why they removed the mass storage option or the backup feature either. As far as it being laggy I am not noticing that part. Seems really smooth and fluid for me.

Some things that I've noticed:
Agat's FI03 repack instead of FI25 kernel seemed to give me even better signal. Asked Tray to test as well but didn't work for him.
The buttons between contacts and dialer - which were nice - are gone again
Wonder if they're cutting down because the ROM was as big as it was...?

wow this is the second best comment i ever came across here at XDA ;P
a few months back a good guy at fascinate forums responded like this when a fantastic ROM update came. He said
* Thanks OP, this thing got me laid last night , my GF just loved it *
Feedback
I don't mind installing stuff like this, especially if it fixes the issues im having, I can handle most of the tech hurdles, however I wish there was some kinda of feedback mechanism. Clearly 'they' aren't just writing the ROMs for fun....
Just some more stuff I've found.
- Out of Office editing works again!
- Battery monitor for devs is removed.
- Sprint Zone has a voice... Maybe I'm imagining this one but it wasn't in previous builds, right? Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
this is irrelevant but is anyone having power button issues? mine is seriously messing up now.
Also, they better have not removed mass storage.
call recorder is not work at this leak

That is not the issue. The led notification light does not pulse while charging in Touchwiz ics builds. It worked in GB Touchwiz roms and it works in Aosp roms. You can use controls in aosp roms to make the light flash blue and red or the app blink or lightwave can make the light flash blue. Its very handy.
I'm running stock with Tunein Radio Pro & slacker radio installed.

Ah I gotcha now ..sounds to me more like a feature that was removed in ICS not so much a bug to be fixed
In addition to the warning CJ posted, can we get a clear explanation about the stock kernel issue too please?
Here is an excerpt from Kobridge's forum by Leaderbuilder:
"Well flashed this and liking it so far but here are some things I've found. Stock kernel worked (works). But when I tried to Mobile Odin a source built kernel with recovery (Agat's 5.4 or RUjeluss' 1.8) the phone locke up on boot and required a battery pull.
To get it back to functioning I had to PC Odin the FI03 Agat's kernel (Couldn't use the FI25 one click from the repository it kept failing md5 check). Then I was able to boot back up.
Then tried to Mobile odin back to FI25 kernel via Mobile Odin and the same thing happened - stuck at boot screen. So back to PC Odin One-click and use FI03 Agats and booting again."

i could never choose between the speediness of swype and the accuracy of swift key. Hopefully with this, i wont need to switch between two keyboards anymore
I've been using FlexT9 keyboard for quite awhile. It's like swype with better word prediction. I like it a lot but it's not free. The new SwiftKey Flow won't be free either but it's cool to be able to try a beta
I can't live without SwiftKey. Adding swipe functionality to it will be icing on a cake.

I would say that a more realistic expectation is that the beta will be available in a couple of weeks to a month. That is purely conjecture, but I think that it will be more accurate than a few days.
I am looking forward to checking it out as well. I have been running the Swype Beta for a few days now to get used to the input technique and to have a fresh point of comparison. I will probably flash the 4.2 Keyboard tonight as well for the same reason.
If you sign up for the beta now, you will get an email when it is ready. Also, if the day it is released is like the day SwiftKey 3 Beta was released, the servers will be gridlocked. I got kicked off several times trying to sign up that day, and the VIP member base has basically doubled since then.

Oh my gawd! This is actually happening? I've always said "SwiftKey needs Swype! SwiftKey needs Swype!" and then it would be perfect! Thanks for showing us this. I just got real pumped for release.
The Samsung keyboard that came with the Note 2 is powered by SwiftKey Flow. SwiftKey announced flow within a day of the release of the Note. So that seems like the explanation of timing.
Now to the next part. Someone claimed that the 4.1.2 leak for the S3 (I don't know which carrier) has the same Samsung keyboard. I read that our phone's jelly bean leaks are ports from the S3, so I was curious if it might have it too. Has anyone reading this thread tried the leaks? I might flash a leak this weekend just to find out.
I really hope you are wrong, because if you are right, it means that SwiftKey flow will be available only for ICS or JB =(
And I want that keyboard! XD

Yes, the Samsung keyboard with Swype-like functionality is included in the leak
I'm running the FK09 JB leak on my E4GT. The Samsung keyboard in the Rom with word prediction is pretty good. Only issue i have with it is the keys are too small with a lot if space between them. I still prefer the Flex T9 keyboard with swype function and word prediction. If you want Swift Key with swype, that's basically what Flex is.
I would be surprised if Swift Key flow didn't work on ICS. I've also tried the new Android keyboard with swype on JB 4.2 on my Nexus 7. The word prediction is not very good yet but I'm sure it will get better.

I am sure that SwiftKey will make it compatible with older versions of Android, but it makes sense that Samsung doesn't care to try to.
I am just saying that making it work for any phone on any version of Android is probably why they haven't released it yet. I am looking forward to it as well.

From the video that they posted, it looks like it will operate on top of the same layout as SwiftKey 3. I have tried the Swype beta again recently and it has improved, but I still prefer SwiftKey. I will have to try Flex T9 as well.
Still waiting on the beta code to hit my inbox. Using the 4.2 keyboard without issue so I know swift key flow will be fantastic.
well i just got an email saying i got into beta and that i will receive the install instructions soon via email. so it should be any day now-
Thanks for the post, just signed up for the beta, I signed up for the Swype beta back in the day and it took over a month to get a response, I'm certain that won't be how it is with this one. I'm stuck on keyboards with swiping ability, but I REALLY like this one even tho I have to hen peck it out, so hoping I can have a new keyboard home with this ones new ability.

I saw an interview that said that it would be available for GB and newer.
Non way I am Froyo (Í curse you, LG Optimus Chic!)! Was I waiting for nothing? I hope you are wrong, this new really made me feel bad
I loaded the 4.3 leak and its smooth and runs great but I don't notice anything else but the flare/light lock screen, not even a themed out dialer or more features with Messaging app, like more bubbles or background options. I really was hoping for a revamped UI for TW but samsung kept it the same. Might as well just call it 4.2 since we didn't see 4.2 on our devices, except the i9300. But as I play with the leak on my phone its just too boring. Sorry but Samsung had us skip 4.2 to give us 4.3, I know its just a leak but how much different will the actual release be? not much.
That's why I flash CM roms to give it a different look on my phone. So glad I rooted my phone. Any way I thought I just vent a bit on the so called update that looks totally the same as 4.1
Yeah this is exactly why I'm going Nexus 5.
But I don't think 4.3 had many visual changes aside from the WiFi connection bars and tabbed settings. That being said it definitely brought along a vast improvement over GPU rendering, better battery life, and overall smoothness.

Yeah you're right. far as smoothness it is better. far as visual its not attracting. But the phone runs faster and not a big fan of toggles. I hope to get on the N5.
That's the thing, not much change from 4.1 to 4.3 visually, even with stock android. Trim support should keep or system running smooth tho

Thats true sometimes all those apps that come with the rom I never use. But I don't understand whats "knox" and I do like the samsung apps like calendar, notes, music apps. I just hope that if we ever get TW 4.4 I hope that at least it'll be an nice minimalistic TW UI. that'll be nice to see that. I wish I was good at programing. I can do images, icons but not good with coding. Hopefully we can see a google style TW UI. I just think that TW should go another direction and lean more towards a google style UI. Flat colors.
I beg to differ due to the fact that I'm not bothered by the lack of aesthetic changes personally. I'm fine with stock 4.1.2 right now so the overall performance improvements are a good enough upgrade for me. I wasn't expecting Samsung to change much anyways.
Biggest plus imo is group messaging. I haven't run a TW Rom since getting this phone until now. I was fine with asop, but the Wi-Fi calling is another big plus with TW.

Thanks guys for pointing out some things I didn't noticed. I never used group messaging or used wifi calling. I guess everyone has a thing or two with the update. I use my phone in the most basic way, I mean basic. I make a few callings, text mostly to people and try to customize my phone to look cool. I mean thats it. I don't use really the other special features that comes with the phone. Maybe Gmail and on occasion the web. I just like to try to make my phone look different. and love trying out roms.
Well, if this article is to be believed, (http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/12/galaxy-s3-android-4-3-update-pulled-note-2-delayed/) we may not get the OTA update for a while now. Funny how I don't read about most of these issues in the 4.3 leak threads- I just wonder if it's because most of us do a factory reset because we're coming from another ROM. Maybe Samsung needs to make a factory reset mandatory for a major update like this.
I like it...
I personally like the (leaked) 4.3 update. I did use CyanogenMod for awhile on my S3, but there was just a few too many bugs that never seemed to get resolved (camera issues, audio issues), which ended with me going back to TW. I like the transparent notification bar with 4.3, and the fact it seems to (so far) be smoother than 4.1.2 was, with better battery life as well.
Most likely I will get a Nexus 5 after the holidays, because I personally love stock Android, but I will miss wifi calling.

It does appear to be affecting our release, but I believe ours to be relatively free of the issues in that article. (We've had a few problems, but it's only been for a few people). Just keep in mind they are talking about the I9300 in the article, a very different device from ours.

The only issue I've seen is the keyboard and lack of kernel source. Other than that all is well with the current leak itself IMO, so the official release shouldn't be too much to wait on.

We're at the middle of the month and hoping that the actual release would come out but don't know if it will. Plus again, its the TW I do like it but its just not a lot of fluff for me to keep it on. I like making my phone look different thats why I keep trying out roms. I'm on MIUI because it looks awesome especially with the themes.
I did like KITKAT 4.4 from CM but it still has some bugs. I'll probably try it out again. My friend is jumping ship from his GN2 for the N5 he's never going to see the 4.3 update anytime soon.
I wish you all good luck with the 4.3 drop..even sprint didn't get theirs on the 6th like they were supposed to.
Nexus 5 will be here in..3 days.

Should I be sad or happy?

I loaded the 4.3 leak and its smooth and runs great but I don't notice anything else but the flare/light lock screen, not even a themed out dialer or more features with Messaging app, like more bubbles or background options. I really was hoping for a revamped UI for TW but samsung kept it the same. Might as well just call it 4.2 since we didn't see 4.2 on our devices, except the i9300. But as I play with the leak on my phone its just too boring. Sorry but Samsung had us skip 4.2 to give us 4.3, I know its just a leak but how much different will the actual release be? not much.
That's why I flash CM roms to give it a different look on my phone. So glad I rooted my phone. Any way I thought I just vent a bit on the so called update that looks totally the same as 4.1

Well At Least You Know Your Updated On Firmware Somewhat
Well, the last leak is working perfectly for me, I was hesitant to switch from Dirty Unicorns back to TW, but I tried it and I'm really happy with it. The icons seem to have a better definition, the UI is a lot smoother, different lock screen options including the light effect swipe to unlock from the S4, different setting menu (tabs), toggle tiles and Gear support. Yes, Gear is working perfectly with the unbloated knox free leak. The Gear is now getting all notifications with text to read due to software released that you can flash thru Odin. Stock keyboard isn't working yet, but shouldn't be a deal breaker, I use swype anyway. Overall, I love the last leak and can care less if they delay the official update.
I'm loving the 4.3 leak.
Bluetooth is finally working properly for me. No more connection glitches or horrible crackling audio in A2DP.
Google Voice properly integrates with the new call log.
Lock screen improvements are very useful to me.
Notification improvements are great and work more reliably with Knock+2
I just wish I could find out if ANT+ is truly enabled as was reported for the international version. I can't seem to get it working.

Its possible there could be a couple of reasons it wont work. If its rom related, then its probably just not been implemented in this roubd of testing. Much more likely though is it is probably because of the kernel. the kernel used is the AT&T kernel from the oldest leak of 4.3, UVUEMJ2. Either too many changes were made, it wasnt yet added, or its implmented differently in tmobiles kernels.
Isnt it a wifi technology? or is it used via bluetooth? if it is wifi, as i seem to recall, itll definitely be kernel related. the sole reason for using the older AT&T kernel is wifi doesnt work with tmobiles, so if it is a wifi only protocol, thatd be the most likely reason.
hope that makes sense!

I think it's most closely related to bluetooth low energy or 4.0 .
