Software Upate - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

This morning when I turn on the phone, it saids New Update from AT&T. I didn't press it. Does anyone know if this will be Jelly Bean or just some useless stuffs?

hahaha jellybean???!!!???? not till later this year I heard...

I was hoping LOL.

It keeps asking me to update the software, is there a way to stop it or remove it ?
I postpone it like 3 times and it saids it will update itself in 8 hours. I max out the delay lol.

My phones rooted. I used root explorer to go into the cache folder and delete the update file it's about 10MB then I let it try to update but of course it failed cause the file was gone.
Oh and this updated takes away universal search function from the Google search bar widget

I heard someone just added the .bak to the end of the update.zip file. Do you know the location of that file?

Then its probably cuz I'm on my phone its not working??
But like when I make whatever I want, let's say a battery icon, and I go to summary and press submit to kitchen does it need to load a new page or what? Do I get some kind of notification or way to know that It was Successfully submited? And how do I know what file is mine when I pick it up lol? Where is the name of myy file?
Whenever I go to pickup it says my cooked files 0?? This means its not working right lol?

Are you uploading your framework-res, systemui and twframework? Then in summary you hit submit and it tells you your filename to expect and then a link to click on to watch folr it.

That and upload system files needs to be checked. Then the boxes will appear for the 3 files it needs you to upload from your ROM.

ya i know about the 3 files
so i just made something and submitted it and now waiting to pick up
it still says cooked files 0 for some reason.. shouldnt that b a 1 now? it gave me my file name and gave me the link to the pickup page so im guessing it worked but at the pickup page it still says "Your recently cooked files (0)"
anyway.. i just wanted to ask about the status bar. Does it work for ours with our widgets? i dont see anywhere over there that lets me edit the widgets for a galaxy phone so does that mean my status bar wont have the widgets in it?
ok so i just figured out how it works completely
my only problem is idk y but i got an error lol it is a veryyy long shtf error that i dont understand lol but what did i doo wronggggg

Yeah I got the sh&tF*ck error with CM7 Crystal theme. No one tried to help from their thread. They may have gotten corrupted in the upload process. Pull the clean ones straight out of the ROM's zip file.
Click the link in my sig for odexed theme guide. Works for deodexed too, just substitute the right files instead of the ones I give.
Sent from something with a Kモ尺れモㄥ.
Okay ill try again once I get on a computer again lol
I did get something to work tho I used clean gb el30's files and put some stuff on it aand it worked like blue overscroll glow and a different font and even boot ani. So I guess ill play with it a little more some other time
I did also try to do one thing. I tried to change some app icons
I went into the email app and looked in res/drawable hdmi (or whatever it is) and replaced the png called "icon" (which had a pic of the email icon) with my own which I renamed to "icon" but when I flashed it it didn't change not sure why tho.

It does look the same except that they added a couple more categories like magazines and tv episodes.
well, the difference with the new play store now is that you don't have to download a whole app to update, it only downloads the parts of the app that were updated, resulting in a lower file size needing to be downloaded. also, we're on 3.7.13 now. i think it was pushed out a few hours ago.
Thanks works fine on my S3!
bump for an update!
I get a 404 on the 3.7.13 link on the site. Downloads as a 345k file in the xda app.

Yes, the market auto-updates itself. The CyanogenMod gapps version does too. You manually update if you're impatient... (for... magazines... or whatever else is new)

WTF is the market named on the SGS3 by default? It's usually vending.apk but I can't seem to find it in the system apps lol.
I want to include the latest update in my ROM but I assumed I'd need to rename it to do so and I can't even find the stock one haha.

Change superuser apps to SuperSU and use it's temp unroot feature. Also if you do so make sure you update SuperSU's binary's before you delete superuser

It sort of did that... it said supersu needs to be updated. Didn't mention the binaries. When i opened the settings and didn't see the option, i figured that was the case but I wanted to be sure before I removed the old su
Thanks for verifying it for me.

I read the reviews and that's bull. There's no reason to keep rooted users blocked. Just rate it a 1 star and move on. Hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and revert the change.

Google Services f**ked me!!

I recently received a msg from my service provider that my data usage is over by 400+ MBs. I was really surprised as I only use mobile data to check emails/whatsapp and my free usage limit (512 MB) never get crossed.
So I looked into the data usage & found out that google services are using a lot of data from last few days. It has used 750+ MBs in last 4 days now I have no other option than to disable my mobile data.
Check the screenshot.

4.2
654 MB in one day..
Check in Play Store if you have enabled automatic updates. That could contribute to the excessive data-usage.

if you on 4.2 it's because a 4.3 OTA Bug on some custom ROM..that's google failure on this case
the solution only is upgrade to 4.3..

100MB killed in 1 day, then 20MB the next day. Was using CM10.1.2. Hope this work.
Hi all...I am having the same problem. I have downloaded the app,however when I try to paste it in the required location....it says permission denied.
Maybe it is a noob question,however...can you please let me know how can I paste it in the required location without "permision denied" ? I am rooted.
Thank you
Update: managed to complete the steps by using root explorer app and a tutorial found on the web.

You will see the update and it will prompt to install but it will fail because the OTA's are very sensitive to change. They require the exact stock rom from the latest version before kitkat i believe. Since youve removed the Zappos app, it will definitely fail. This is why majority are going back to stock just to get the kit-kat update.

Really you just need to use RSDLite to return to stock. Depending on all you have done you may need to modify the .XML file in the image, but its very easy and just uses Notepad.
