Hello all, worked on this all night and came up with LoS Checker to cut down on your LoS time. I wish I had some screenshots for you, but this is all just a background job THIS DOES NOT ELIMINATE LoS! It fixes your phone when you have LoS! Let's read on to find out more about LoS Checker...

Standard disclaimer: Use at your own risk! I am not responsible if your phone breaks!
*** !Important! ***
If you go LoS and the phone doesn't reboot, PLEASE PM me or post your logs so I can determine why! As of version v2.1, "LogMe" is included with LoSChecker. LogMe is a quick script that grabs 3 important logs relating to the phone's radios that help explain LoS. The logs go into /data/local/LoS in time stamped folders that start with "script_dump_".
To use LogMe, type "su" in Terminal Emulator (no quotes) then "logme" (no quotes) and it will dump the logs for you. Do this if you think you have LoS and your phone didn't reboot automatically from LoSChecker. I also need to know what what happening (eg. couldn't text or call) as well as current device status (eg. on wifi, etc). Please be as detailed as possible. These logs will help me make LoS Checker work better and maybe even solve the root cause of LoS!
Q. What is LoS Checker?
A. LoS Checker is an automated script that monitors the phone radio to check for LoS every 2 mins. When it determines that the phone's radio has turned off, it will dump logs to /data/local/LoS and reboot the phone. This will minimize the time that the phone sits in your pocket with no service.
Q. What if you're on Airplane Mode?
A. If you are on Airplane Mode, the phone sees the radio as being off just like it would on LoS. However, I have added a special check in that will specifically check to see if you are in Airplane Mode and it will not reboot every 2 minutes on you.
Q. What about "Ghost LoS"?
A. Ghost LoS is when the phone doesn't indicate that you have LoS. Data and signal icons are still there even though texts fail and data doesn't work. To be honest, I'm not sure what the radio thinks is happening when it goes into Ghost LoS since I haven't had this happen to me while testing. [EDIT: I am getting closer to nailing down ghost LoS!] I tested the script by forcing the radio to shut down and simulate LoS (which wasn't full LoS) so when LoS happens, it should work just fine.
Q. Any ideas on how to fix "Ghost LoS"?
A. Frifox suggested pinging 8.8.8.8 (Google Servers) to test for data and while that will work, if you were on the phone and not on WiFi either, it would cause the phone to reboot because it thinks it is experiencing LoS. I would need to add in checks for being on the phone and roaming and such, which isn't the easiest thing to do in an automated shell script. [EDIT: As of v2.1 and higher, the script checks if you're on the phone but if you have a data connection through WiFi, this wouldn't tell me anything. Thinking of more options.] Again, please monitor to see if LoS Checker fixes Ghost LoS.
Q. Can you make LoS Checker check faster/slower?
A. Yes, you can. I have it setup for 2 minutes because it's pretty conservative and I think much faster is unnecessary. If you want to do this, open up the LoSChecker file located in /system/bin and look for this line:
Code:
SLEEP=120
Change "120" to whatever you would like (in seconds).
Q. Will this cause wake lock or battery drain?
A. No, it should not. Checking every 2 minutes uses hardly any battery life, probably less than a second of processing power every 24 hours. If you increase the frequency of checking, it may have negative effects on your battery life.
Q. What is the root cause of LoS?
A. In my opinion, it has something to do with roaming during low service. That is when I notice it happening the most to me.
Q. Can I include this in my ROM?
A. Yes, that's fine. Just please give credit I would, however, advise not including it in your ROM just yet because of the frequent updates while perfecting LoSChecker.

This isn't gonna make my battery drop in huge increments when it reboot right? Also what if im going into an area with spotty coverage will my phone just constantly reboot? If either of these don't happen ill be more than pleased.

No, when you have No Signal, the phone will see that differently than the radio being turned off (which is what I have it set to look for)
Sweet ill put it on my phone before i head into work tomorrow. I have low coverage there and i get LOS pretty regularly there. Thanks a lot for the quick response. Ill let you know how it works out.

It should be in /system/bin and the file is called LoSChecker. Had 3 people test this plus me. It's there and it installed right
Sorry guys, please redownload and reflash if you downloaded before 3:30AM EST. Small scripting issue causing the script not to run. I really need to get some sleep lol
Could you possibly add logcat feature,that could be enabled and disabled to collect any possible errors and see when and why the radios are turning off?
This is why I love you guys. This will be an excellent add on for e4gt rom developers.

This is why I wrote this because I was at work and had LoS for 3 hours and didn't know it. I don't check my phone much unless I feel it vibrate so I was pissed when I saw this happen.

Yes, that's what ghost LoS is. I hope it works for that, but I don't know yet. I need feedback from EVERYONE so I can make this better!
This is LOS. Look at the signal meter. It has 0 with a line through it plus it says mobile network not available.
This is the ghost LOS. Look at the top bar (the signal meter looks fine). I thought this only happens with changing the theme but I could be wrong. Also it doesn't say the network not available like above.
your opinnion about LOS is interesting.. I have my roaming turned off and ever since I havent had any LOS, its either from that or from LostKernel.. I do experience the no bars and a x on it which requires a reboot, but im assuming thats not LOS but another problem with the sprint network..

AndroidInsomnia Presents:
the OFFICIAL MIUIAndroid 2.4.20 - The last official release. All following releases will be me playing with different things.
The best MIUI English translation around, it's the MIUIAndroid.com build. This is THE Official Releases for MIUIAndroid. I put in a lot of time to getting this build to this point so I do hope you enjoy them.
Please remember that MIUI is created in China and is controlled by Xaiomi
I will be providing support EVERYWHERE! However, official support is provided at MIUIAndroid or MIUI.us
New releases planned for every Friday
This is an excellent ROM. It introduces the first non-CyanogenMod/carrier/manufacturer framework overhaul of Android 2.3.7 and it's EPIC!

Change Log: None. This is the last release and there was no changelog given for gingerbread specifically. Supposedly there was a blanket changelog for ICS and GB together and if you want to see what that is head to www.miuiandroid.com
But I highly doubt it has anything to do with GB.
This is ported using the Official translation from MIUIAndroid of the Desire HD and the newest CyanogenMod Glacier build compiled by me as the HTC Glacier base.

Thank you for picking up the miui releases. It continues to be the best in performance, stability and battery life. And all without having to do any tweaks!
Thank You for continuing the build.
I am wondering if you will be able to look into the issue where call volume is cranked all the way up when using headphones. It kills my ears. Other than that, this ROM is great.

Thank You so very much! This issue has been around for a very very very long time. It is one of the only pressing issue that I have noticed. It really scares the crap out of me when listening to music on my headphones and the ring and voice are blaring.
The only other issue is when sending a text message on WIFI calling and sometimes on weak cellular signal. The messages rarely go through the first time. It would be nice if MIUI would silently retry sending the message at least 5 times with a 15-20 second wait between each attempt, instead of immediately failing and having to press the retry button. After this the warning of failed send would be acceptable. I believe this is a universal MIUI issue, so I don't know if you would be able to do anything about this.
I flashed the ROM and ever since I did my battery started acting up. Sometimes it shows full charge and suddenly it drops to nothing or my phone just dies out. I restart the phone and it has more than half the charge. Also, when it needs to be charged, I do so, and notice it takes more than what it used to take on the previous build. Any suggestions as to what is causing the consumption of my battery or what is making this rom give me weird battery life?
Sounds like it may be time to wipe battery stats and calibrate it.

Sorry, but that has no affect on the battery. It only wipes the usage counter in settings.
Info from a Google Engineer: http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
What you can do is try to factory reset and re-flash the ROM. If that does not work, you may need a new battery.
http://www.teamroyal.net/battery_calibration.html
I recommend the first one. It's helped me out a few times. Kevev is right in that deleting the batery stats alone doesn't do anything. But I said calibration. This is a good guide.

You are correct. These are the steps we all used back in the G1 days. It does help.
Excellent ROM!! Only problem is I get slow downs sometimes.

There is a fix. You take permissions off using root explorer. An easier to explain fix is to just use opera. Flash works fine in that browser.

Awesome!! Thank you. Have good weekend buddy
Hello all, thanks for this awesome rom, I have one problem with it, wifi calling is not working for me, keeps saying enabling.. And doesn't do anything else. I did full wipe two times and still have the problem. Any clues? Thanks in advance
I fixed my sms issue. I am using Go SMS Pro. It automatically retries sending without notification.
Any status on the max ring and call volume on headphones? This is the only outstanding issue I see with MIUI. I can beta test if needed.
Hey, Im not usually in these forums a whole lot, but I am looking for a rom that is Rock Solid, and really really stable. My dad is.. lets just say technology is not his thing. And Im thinking about flashing this rom.. I know miui is the most simplistic rom, but is it stable enough to u s e as a daily forever pretty much?
Thx in advance!

Other than the loud ring and call volumeon headphones, and sms issue in weak signal areas, this rom is solid. Go sms pro(free in market) fixed the sms issue. If he never uses wired headphones there should be no concern.
Thanks in advance to any contributions. Oh, your welcome sir, thank you. No no no, thank you. No, thank you, NO! THAAANK YOU!

Be back soon. I am going to install a ROM and all of my favorite apps load themselves thanks to Samsung's Sprint partition. Also going to test for the first if it is safe to transfer zips from one ROM to another.
THIS IS PROBABLY DANGEROUS SO DO NOT TRY IT YET UNTIL ALL OF YOU HAVE ON YOUR HUGGIES!
Well, I'm here. I guess two calk wipe all+ reactive's two+ factory reset after a failed attempt when i forgot that calks romstripper relives the pre install.. isn't enough to kill my preinstaller. I made a video... Camera died. Can make another if it's important.
Oh, screw it...

It has the settings for wimax and 3g. They work to my 3g is way better since using it.
Honestly, for all i know everyone has i this. Was trying to better understand net settings because a lot of people have not been getting the best they can, despite what a speed test says.
This is a library of simulated net settings, tests, results and how to simulate (thats the part I'm interested in, how to simulate them) i don't remember what is all included. It may out dated, it seems worth a glance.

Ignore these idiots. I've tried to put up helpful information before and people are just stupid. I swear 75% of people on this site just refuse to read a thread at all before they post.
Just the op doesn't count.
I looked at the other thread and I'm interested in ANY new information that may or may not help sprints crappy speeds.
If you're not too put off by peoples negativity, I'm getting a modem error after entering my MSL. I would love to use your tweak, and would appreciate the help. I'm on cm9 a4 with fe16 modem.
The nova shortcuts work great to get into the debug menu, btw. Those menus just appear broken for me on cm9. Next time I'm on a touchwiz ROM I'll try this again.

Yes, these settings stick through a ROM change. (just checked after 2 rom installs with 3 format alls and 2 factory resets, for an unrelated subject)
I thought 300 might be default max, I'm not sure where I made the change that made that one stick. I'll look for it now. Even though 300 is plenty

I read elsewhere that the dialer codes are touchwiz specific. So you'd have to be on stock fe16 for them to work, i believe.
It was either that or they are a no go for ics yet, but i'm pretty sure stock fe16 will do the trick. May want to look that up.
lol, to prove your point, i haven't read the last few posts on page 1 before i posted, so I was not aware that this was discussed like it was.

AnyCut would have the same result, probably. Sometimes even though the functionality of the hidden menu is intact the user-interface is not. (I have the same issues trying to put AOSP stuff on my TW...)
Thanks for the morale boost and if I see/hear of another way to get it going I will update the thread and PM you.

In that case, you should be telling me how to improve
I'm pretty sure my best 4g speed so far was in the 1.4 MB/s range. This doesn't mean that your speeds won't increase with a certain "mode."

Yes. I think you are finally on the right page, the dialer codes are stock dialer specific and that is what the shortcuts mentioned can help with. Even if a ROM is entirely stock except for dialer, the service codes are a no go.
I think I'll try to "catch it in the act" so to speak and see what the actual commands involved are. I'm sure the right use of a terminal emulator could get this done I just happen to be a different type of nerd...
Made these changes and my 4G is just greyed out o.o
Also, changing modems won't do anything to the settings right?
Edit: Got 4G to work. Running speed tests, but nothing seems very different. Getting 1.5 Mbps on stock EL26 but will run more
I am on the VeNuM ICE rom and all works well for me..Thanks Kebetz

Dude, i gotta say... i had my doubts but effin "A" man!! what a tremendous increase in speed and connectivity. I'd put up some screenshots but i didn't even bother to take before pics.. but maybe i had one from a couple weeks ago. I'm actually restoring my AOKP backup right now. I had to go to a Wiz rom just to test this and it blew me away. I live 50 miles south of Houston, TX and it was hitting a server in Wichita freakin Kansas and consistently hitting 5mBps+ could not friggin believe it...
Thanks. Much thanks
You are welcome, sirs.
I was starting to get frustrated because it is sooooo easy to test but everyone dismissed it so quickly. Ive been using these for a while now and always have good results. Here are todays, been testing a few other settings that Im not comfortable posting yet.. not until they prove solid. Note how close Im getting to WiFi speeds...

Those Extensions that I mentioned work best is moderate coverage and are designed to keep your signal when you rightfully should. You may try tightening it up to
EntryRx/CINR/Delay -99/5/30
I find these to provide a more usable connection when I have poor coverage.

I thought it would be grate to have a spot, were we clould ask questions to Clark44 about his Rom FreeGS3 v0.0.7 7-27-12
I am a realy Big fan since version 7 the Installer shows so much spunk!!!
I realy think keeping everything for Clark44 in one spot will help him in further creation of his rom.
After spending time with this rom all i can think about is how do I donate to keep it going?
I can not wait for the themes to come out for this Rom.
***First question Clark. May I use Setcpu and Ram Manager with your Rom?

goo rom manager question
I do not want to loose the abilty to save recoveries to my extSdCard. So I am afraid to switch from CWM version that i am using.
The question is, can we use the Goo Manager to download the zip then use the CWM to flash it ?
I am just not sure if it packed and repack the same way.
Youtube isn't working when I'm on the go, using my 3g. But it works fine when I connect to Wifi. Maybe I did something wrong or maybe it just my phone?
Clark44 never sleeps...he is a rom machine
I noticed on the messaging app that the vibration when silent option was absent with .7. I don't need my phone vibrating when I get texts with sound on so I was wondering if there was a way to get that back. Thanks.

No S-Voice options please
The installer is very cool. This is now my goto build for installing modems, I can install them at install then update PRL with one build.
I can't live with S-voice though, it just can't call the people I want and... don't get me started on it.
I hoped choosing not to install the removed Samsung apps would include S-voice but I still get it when I make a BT voice dial.
Is there any way to have the option to not have S-voice and use Google voice instead?
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this thread! I can't post in the dev forums yet (too new) so I had no way to get into the conversation.
I've got two questions.
1. Is anyone using JuiceDefender with this Rom? I'm used to it from my Samsung Galaxy Epic, but I wasn't sure if it's needed on this ROM. I like some of the features (Location aware Wifi, etc) but maybe not if it's sacrificing battery.
2. (For Clark) On version .8, is there any way to build in some of the color/theme options from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28676439 ? I'm not a big fan of green, so I would love to change the colors of the battery and the 15 toggles...
Thanks!

Well, I think it depends on how you use your phone. For me at least, JuiceDefender has helped out TREMENDOUSLY. I live in an area with bad reception and I'm constantly going in and out of roaming. Having all my data turned off while I'm not using the phone really helps boost my battery life (and not having to do so manually is worth the $5 in my opinion).
Without JD I'm at about 10-15% when I get home from work (10 hr work days). With JD I'm at about 30% when I get home.
I guess everyone's mileage may vary, but if you've already bought JD you might as well try and see if it helps your battery life.
side note: I also love the night tint in JD
I've actually got a couple of questions with this ROM.
First, though, I have to say this is a phenomenal ROM. I initially flashed it solely as a stop-gap while waiting for CM10 to come out for my Sprint GSIII, but it quickly has become my daily driver.
So with the installer on the 0.0.7 version, there are multiple radios. Is there any advantage in flashing one of those, or just leaving it be? Also I really like the CRT animations and beats audio, but it wasn't there in the 0.0.7 version, so I just went with 0.0.6. Is there a way to get it on the 0.0.7 version or have those features been disabled? I went off the video review on youtube, linked but for some reason, on my version, little to no features were on mine compared to the review video. Is there a way to enable them on the newest version? Thanks.
It got lost on the main thread, but awesome beats will be back in .8 (he forgot to put it in .7) and crt was broken by Samsung

Nice thread you guys have going on here
As for themeing. Let me explain how im going to have this system setup at latest by v0.0.9.
I've done some research and finally found an app that will do the following:
1. Notify when update is available
2. Allow user to download themes, bootanimations, apps, flashables, all within the app and all supplied by me.
3. Allow the user to read the changelog of upcoming buids on the go.
The link to this app is here
Now i already started migrating the boot animation option i already finished in Aroma installer into this app and that should be done very soon. Themers will also be able to send me whatever they make and i can make it an option in the app!
This will benefit us in the following:
1. Aroma installer stays and installs kernels, modems, and mods
2. ROM size doesn't go up to 2GB when i add in all the themes ect. (Size will always be around 860)
3. Users can change their theme and UI mods on the go without having to reinstall the ROM.
I'm trying to make customization available without having to reinstall the entire ROM. This will give us the best of both worlds.
I'm working on this as we speak so I might dissapear from XDA for a little bit while i stay on my train of thought But in spite of everything...this is going to get a whole lot better.

No on CRT, see back a page or two with a draft of the mods in next release.
The radio's are the different modems you can choose, there have been three releases (updates) and the original that came with the phone. That is what the radios are.
Radio=baseband=modem

Are there any advantages/disadvantages in flashing a different modem to the phone? It seems to be a consensus that LF9 gives better signal, but I'm afraid for the drawbacks.
Downloading .8 now. Very excited.
Clark, I have a small request for .9.
Any chance you can add on my favorite bootanimation from my Samsung Epic days?
It's the third link found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033274
(I'm also a big fan of the blue shutdown animation, but that's not nearly as big of a priority.)
Thanks!
I don't see the video icon when using Google Talk. I used to have it before I flash 0.0.8. Any ideas, I can get it back? Thanks

I'm in the Process of Reworking this post, so be warned things will change...
Also, I'm currently in the process of building the newest version of the ROM
Introducing
Project Bland Android, The successor to Bland Android. The goals of Project Bland Android, are simple. To Create three flavors of Android, Original, Cherry, and Dirty Boot (Sadly Name is now Temporarily Final). All work will remain open source, including Dirty Boot. Each Version will always be built upon the latest code base, and always attempt to update quickly. With the goal, of always being open, always being transparent, and always being helpful. This ROM is aimed to be a effort to help the community, and always have the community help others. If your not into that, this ROM will most likely not be for you.
Just like the Previous builds of Bland Android, I am not wanting to work on this all by myself the whole time, so any offers to help will not be turned down, I would love to see this working 100%, and growing, so PM me if interested, or just post in the thread, together, we can grow this ROM from more than a small project, but rather a community effort.
Introducing the Flavors:
Original Flavor, will remain Strictly AOSP, with small amounts of changes.
Cherry will become the Version that develops Somewhat rapidly, every week, there will be a vote for something to be cherry picked into Cherry, then during the next weeks vote, minor builds will be released with the goal of becoming stable by the time the next weeks cherry is integrated.
Finally, Dirty Boot, which will be the flavor that will develop at a slower pace, but with aims of always being stable. Again, code will remain open source, as long as credit is always provided. Not to mention, with enough request, support will be extended to other devices.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Android Version: 4.2.1_r1.2
Current Original Flavor: 0.0.3
Download:
-This build is tested to boot, not much more, unclear of bugs, most if not all should work, just supply your own G-APPs.
Current Cherry Flavor: 0.0.0
VOTING CLOSES FOR THIS BUILD: Feb 15th, 2013
Download:
Current Dirty Boot Flavor: 0.0.0
Download:

There currently isn't any audio, period, phone volume and music volume aren't working yet though I'm hunting for the reason. And I can't test wimax (not in my area) but I added everything for wimax, so theoretically and I assume it should work.
this is my primary device, so until audio works I will not be able to test it much as soon as volume works I will test 4g wimax

The GPS is checked as if it is on, but when I try to use Google Now, it cannot register my location. Instead it gives me the option to access settings to turn on Location Services which are already on.

Did you try with Google Maps also? I was able to get a lock in maps, but that was all I tested in. Also, a logcat would be wonderful to see what is going on when this happens for you.
Google Maps attempts to lock into my location, unfortunately, both Google Maps and Google Now don't seem to be able to access GPS.
Going to see if I can get a logcat sometime today. Aldo want to check the settings to see if Google's "Gesture" keyboard is within the rom and if not whether installing a separate apk will work.
Edit: Google's Gesture keyboard is not set by default, however, I was able to install the apk separately and it works great. No logcat yet.
Also, when attempting to look at the Storage section under Settings, it FCs. This is also the case when attempting to access any 4G options for obvious reasons.

I'll be adding it to the OP once I fix/try to fix the settings stuff. and I just added the new Gmail ( I think, I'll double check this though) and I'll provide the SuperUser Zip for any issues. All in all, should be up in about 1 to 4 hours after I finish some things around my house.
is this ROM pretty stable? I am looking forward to flashing this but I know its a pretty new ROM and my phone has been acting funny and dont want to chance screwing it up!!
Okay lets get this out of the way now. You need to post what release you are on when you report issues. There are many different releases and I cant/wont help you if you dont give me the information I need to help you.
Well simple OP for now.
For those who dont know about this rom yet let me fill you in. This is the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756911 and all the things that work thank them. For everything that is broken well that is most likely my fault. LOL! This rom is a direct port and will only be offered as the original team made it (besides fixes for Sprint). Please do not ask for me to add or change anything.
This rom contains S5 apps and N3 features (air command)!!
Thank you Section
I will fix this up later but for now it will be pretty much empty
Team N3bula for the rom and allowing me to port it.
Please use Philz 6.07.9 recovery...
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900
Flashing Instructions
1. Download rom and verify MD5sum
2. Place rom on phone (if not already)
3. Backup anything you need/want that is in your internal sdcard
3. Backup current rom
4. Factory reset/Format for new rom
5. Under mounts choose format /data /data/media (this is your internal sdcard)
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Flash rom and reboot
The first boot will take a long time so please wait. Also the phone will be a little sluggish for awhile (it has to setup itself).
If you have not taken the 4.3 or 4.4.2 OTA/ODIN and not flashed the wifi fix you will need to do so to be able to use wifi.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358548565 -- this version is not compressed just flash it as is
This will not fix wifi on beta 2.4

Mods and Fixes
Here is the systemUI from the Community Rom (S5-look). I have only tested this on beta 2.4 but it should work on all of them. If you are not on 2.4 then it will automatically delete your systemUI.odex file to keep issues from showing up. Note that there is a S5-FEAT-systemui.zip so you can go back to it if you want.
Aroma File Manager
Okay guys here is the meat for your philz recovery. Unzip the this and place in your clockwork folder on your external sdcard. It will work on your internal but if you wipe internal (like you should every flash) you will lose it. Once you place it there boot into recovery and double tap a blank part of the screen.
There is one tiny issue with this. Every so often when changing directories it will kind of hang. Dont worry if you see this just touch the screen and it will work.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca560s28o5ekvfw/aromafm.zip
I will put this on android file host later.
Just had to share this! This is what why I enjoy doing this (besides the fact I have a cool looking phone).

My current phone is a LG g2 I had the sprint note 2 previous. My note2 was collecting dust and I decided to see what's going on with it on xda as far as roms. I just switched back from LG g2 to the note 2 . The rom you made or ported is mad sick I might sell my LG g2 and I love that phone. Thank you my new daily driver

I've been running 2.3 for a week or so had no problems so far. I guess I should wait for the WiFi fix as I use WiFi most of the time. Thanks for all the hard work porting it and props to the devs who did the original Verizon ROM

Same here. Tried every beta so far. I might try 2.4 with the wifi fix

I have the S5 systemui flashable zip uploaded in Post 3. It has only been tested on 2.4 but I made the script so that if you tried it on the other betas it will remove your systemui.odex file.
Great work JL I am gonna flash this after I get finished playing with the Community ROM Alpha 1. You are relentless man!!!

Two last things I forgot to mention. Again from other versions so I don't know why I didn't say anything.
Has not been as big an issue, but some music lag when screen goes off. Only sometimes.
I'm guessing increasing minimum cpu speed might help, but feel we should not have to.
And I know this is a TouchWiz issue, but what causes the wallpaper to revert to default in most restarts?

Will look into those for you. All of this is on 2.3? Now about wallpaper. Give this a try. With root browser go to system and delete the wallpaper folder. Then make sure you have your wallpaper set and do a few reboots. Hopefully it will help.

Yes. I'm on 2.3, but have noticed a little music lag on lock screen with all betas. Any music player or milk.
Also that most of the time when I pause a song on any music player if I do something else or leave for too long it goes away. If it's still there it's back at the beginning. Not major issues.
I'll give the wallpaper thing a try.
And the only other thing seems to be some weird issue with my phone. No matter what TouchWiz rom I install "stock, beta, s5" I have to manually install video share for group play.
All minor issues. Thank you for all this work.
I'm gonna test the system ui on 2.3 and then possibly try 2.4 and wifi fix.
Have you gotten a chance or had the want to look at those supposed super trimmed/beefed TouchWiz launchers?
Not that it's anywhere near as bad as the Internet likes to claim.

I think I'm on 1.8
Runs well. I didn't see that in the OP.
Has anyone used the WiFi fix on a version besides 2.4 and the successfully used the WiFi fix and then re-flashed 2.4 and kept WiFi?
I noticed he said it was a 2.4 issue and I was gonna try going to 2.3 using the fix and then come back to 2.4 wiping just the caches, but wanted to check if it's been done successfully or not before I go ahead and download it.

Link me to the video share you install and I will include it with the rom. I have not looked and any of the "special" TW launchers. Everything seems to run fine on the stock one so I see no reason to change LOL.

Only 2.4 will show the correct version under settings and what you are seeing is the base rom's info. I am willing to bet you are on 2.3. Only way to tell for sure is by the "issues you have" or by the name of the file you flashed. I am trying to make sure I get that updated on each new release. BTW I am flashing 2.5 now and will let yall know how it goes.

You can try if you want but it will not work. The wifi fix zip in the OP clearly states it wont fix wifi on 2.4. The zip is for those who have not taken the OTA/Odin.

I can't tell if anything changed, but the zip flashed fine.
And wallpaper thing might have worked.

Just a heads up flashing the community systemui just makes it look like the stock ui (without the theme) on the 2.3.
