Alright members of the I957 community, I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm proud to (finally) present to you a custom ROM designed specifically for our devices: Contingency! There are a couple of things I need to rattle off in this description before I can get down to business. 1. Due to some error in updater-scripts causing incredible lag with CWM flashes, this ROM is Odin-based only. If you aren't very good with Odin/need a refresher, look down below for a quick little tutorial to help get you started. 2. Due to my lack of an actual cellular data account for this device, it's difficult for me to tell you whether or not the data is working... I'm 99% it is functional in this build, but in future builds I may need a tester to discern for me.
Features & Added Apps
Da_g's OC Kernel
CWM Recovery
Rooted
Zipaligned
Deodexed
Bloat Removed
Build.prop performance tweaks
System Tuner for OC/UV
Titanium Backup
Go Launcher HD (If you're a Touchwiz hater)
As you can probably see, this is a very bland ROM right now; I just had my first successful Odin flash of it yesterday, and the testing lead all the way up to today.
Stuff To Add/Do (Taking Suggestions)
Extended Power Menu
CRT-Off
Bravia
Xloud
Edit Name in build.prop
Put data monitor back in
Theming
Due to my little experience in the world of Tablet modding, I could really use some help as to what you guys would like to see in future builds of Contingency.
Instructions For Odin Flash (It's In Red Because It's Important)
A data wipe is optional, but I recommend it.
Download the .rar of Contingency from the link below
Extract out "Contingency vX.tar" to a place you'll remember it
Open up Odin
Navigate to your Contigency.tar and load it into the PDA slot
Make sure your Tab is in download mode (Power Button + Both Volumes)
MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS UNCHECKED!!!!!!111!!!!!111?!?!?!!11!11!%[email protected]^#
Hit start
Go grab a snack, sit back, and watch that progress bar
Screenshots
Look at your Stock Tab... Now back to me. Unfortunately, I'm not your stock tab, but that's what Contingency looks like.

Awesome!
jomeister15, You Da Boss!
I'll flash this in about 12 hours when I am back at home with my i957, and I'll let you know how data is doing. If I get no data action, what is the fallback to get to the original rom?
Thanks very much for this!

Ha, I guess you're right, there isn't really a way to get back to stock if you mess something up... I'll set up a stock firmware repository later today.
Damn! Double damn! Nice....! Finally! Thank you!

if you want wifi hotpost use quick tether from market. it activate usb and wifi tethering.
I'm gonna charge mine up for a little bit and try this rom out later. I only got 30% charge currently.
Bought mine used a couple of months ago. Still has an active SIM in it from the original purchasers account. Guess the termination fee was too steap or they needed the cash and decided to live with the $30 a month
I mainly use it on wifi but will test it out on ATT network to see. I just pop it on once in a while to see if it's still active. Just checked and it was!
If it's a nogo I can just use Odin with the original rom from ATT/Samsung? I already have it downloaded as I've use it twice to reset mine.
Waiting for ICS sucks!
Does this still have the ATT data monitor app?
Thanks!

No issues with flashing the rom. First bootup was a little scary as it stayed on the Android animation screeen for a while. Wound up doing a factory reset once up and running to clear up some issues. Seems to get more responsive after it sits for a while and after a couple of reboots. Had a couple of issues with updating the app store and maps but it seemed to work itself out after a couple of tries.
ATT data is functional for those who are interested. I don't live in a LTE area but it's getting closer by the month.
ATT data monitor app is gone. No biggy but was nice to see how much free data I have left....Hoping original owner keeps my data plan going!
Active applications widget can be added but only clicks when touched. Guess the app is no longer included....No big deal just thought I'd mention it.
Looks like there is alot of stuff to play around with as far as tweaks go. Not sure what they all do but guess I'll check them out later.
Thanks again!
I'll let you guys know if I see anything else that is worth mentioning.

Now that you mention the AT&T data monitor app from the tablet, (poster above) I was trying to get the app working on the galaxy note and I failed. I installed the apk from the tablet to the Galaxy Note via Titanium and manually... I see the app and the widget on the Note perfectly, but I am unable to link it to my phone data plan... Any ideas? I was able to get to a screen were is asking for some credentials that are out of my hands... I guess they are AT&T credentials for my account in order to set or link the monitoring app...

It would be best to save a copy of your nandroid backup somewhere safe like on your computer just in case you need it later. Not sure if Odin will nuke it or not. My tab was pretty much stock when I flashed it today as I used Odin to restore the stock rom a couple of weeks ago. If I remember correctly a folder in root is no longer there. Not 100% sure what it was called but I'm thinking it was preloaded or preinstalled. Not needed anyways as it was ATT apps/bloatware if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure about the rom failing and nandroid back thing. Maybe somebody else knows forsure.
I'm thinking if you for some reason don't like this rom you'd have to maybe use Odin to flash the stock rom back first, then install the kernel you were using and then move the nandroid back to the tab if it was deleted and then flash it back.
As soon as there is a link to download the original Stock AT&T ROM I will be installing this ROM...

IM trying to you barnacle and this message appears...anyone? The other recommended app says its woprking ut its not found
The problem is that the wifi tether app doesnt work on all custom roms. So if u have a custom it may not work. Im using FreeGS3 v3..and mine isnt working although its apart of the rom...Dunno what the issue it. I have updated the Binaries for super user and I have also changed the setting in the actual wifi app from Galaxy nexus (CDMA) to Galaxy S3 and it still doesnt work for me.
My bad.....I thought that it was working on all LJ7 TW roms. If it is that important to the OP, a different rom is in order. I use Blazer roms by PhantomHacker with no tethering issues

Perhaps. Try the T-Mo thread
DO NOT FLASH ANY ROM EXCEPT THOSE DEVELOPED FOR YOUR CARRIER. Good luck. You could try the Galaxy Nexus GSM setting without hurting anything....also Auto

S3 lockups and LTE?
Hi
I put this on my GS3 (I747 AT&T) last night and so far it's pretty good.
I have noticed some weird occasional lockups and reboots, which is find for unofficial rom, I know what I'm getting into.
My other issue is that it seems to prefer 3G, HSDA, or HSDA+ over LTE even though I'm in a market with extensive LTE coverage. Is there any way to "weight" this?
Also the on-screen soft keys seem redundant, is there a way to disable them without disabling the status bar (PIE mode hides both)?
Thanks!

Lockups and reboots are kernel related you can try flashing another kernel (or wait for an update) I use this. It's the 4/09 All-Star Devs Kernel. You have to make sure if you flash a kernel not to go any newer than 4/09/13 or it won't work this this ROM until it gets updated.
Make sure your APN settings are correct, make sure LTE is selected in your settings and if all else fails do a Speed Test to check your speeds.
You can disable Nav Bar (Bottom) Settings > Hybrid Properties > Nav Bar 0% Apply and reboot if it prompts for it.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot!
Actually, I have noticed the same thing for me, only in the past two days.. Specifically: random sleeps of death with no regularity, and when trying to use Spotify, or I Heart Radio when plugged into my headphones (Samsung set that came with the phone) phone will not play music through the app, but it will work just fine when plugged into an aux cable... I have changed nothing in my kernel settings, or system settings since things settled down.
Very strange.
Thanks I was having some problems that kernel seem to fix them.

I'm on the latest version of Paranoid Android. I've been experiencing this weird noise. It happens when the phone is placed down or just the screen turning on or off. In the video, it sounds like I'm placing the phone down with some force but I've activated the sound even when putting it down super gently.

Simple answer:
The instructions are simply telling you to make sure that you have the most recent recovery for your device is installed, and if not, to install it. Oftentimes not having an updated recovery is what causes the Status 7 errors when trying to flash new ROMs.

Other than the updated kernel and displays drivers there is no difference in roms. Regardless if it'll work it won't give you anything you don't already have.

This link has the steps to install the S4 Google Edition (Full system Dump) to our T-Mo S4's.
It's a pretty small file, and as always, create a backup before you install. I wiped my themed stock rom, then flashed the GE sys dump.
I've confirmed the following:
* Camera works / Video
* LTE works
* Phone calls work
* NFC works
* SMS / MMS works
* Wi-Fi does NOT work
There's a couple of other tests that I didn't run, but I'm still getting a feel for this as I write this.

...and there you have it. Safe to say it's a fully working GE rom? Personally, I think so. All that's left is to see how the battery life turns out to be like compared to stock TW.

Haha I did it while I was at work, too. No special kernels needed. Just as C.Sweat said, just download, backup, wipe, and flash.
My issue was that I downloaded the system dump from a different source link, thus im sure there was something corrupt or not compatible with the Wi-fi in that specific sys. dump. I'm not even going to do a logcat or any of that, especially if there's already a fully functional dump of the GE.
For those who want to install the Google Edition, please go here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsSDB2hKUxgZDFoR0xNdldLTW8/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .
Also, another thing to note is that Google Wallet fully works (of course without XPosures' patching), and we're not given that "It's not available for your provider" nonsense.
This rom = So much win!

Not exactly sure what fixed the wifi issues. I was a bit late to the conversation. It happened somewhere around here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026&page=14

Very safe to say
Any idea why wifi did not work at first?
After installing the full system dump from GPe to TMo hardware... are there any software differences that remain between the devices? Kernel, etc? Or are they truly 100% identical? Thanks!
Haven't tried yet, but am anxious.
Anyone check NFC, IR Blaster yet?
I was just over at the AT&T GS4 forum and they are talking about some partition difference.
If that's the case, then some GBs of space will be wasted
Is there something like that on the T Mobile version too ?

Someone posted a recovery flashable ZIP in the I9505 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340869
Is the kernel compatible OTB for M919 ?
NM: Just flashed it. Worked like a charm! Thank you to everyone from the guy/gal who provided the dump to all the people who uploaded to various sites. Oh and big thanks to Tmobile for keep note 2 and s4 similar to international variant.
It looks like it has gotten much easier to get BLUE TOOTH and WIFI working when you flash roms originally made for 9005 GN3 on a TMOBILE GN3.
First Step is go over and dowload the Bluetooth fix posted in the Stainless ROM in TMOBILE ANDROID DEVELOPMENT Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499593 Make sure you click thanks on the Dev who made this possible! MISCOM did a real service when she came up with this fix....
Step Two - flash the 9005 ROM of your choice (I have done this for both BOB CAT and OMEGA ROMS)
Step 3 - Flash ROM -
STEP FOUR Flash BLUE TOOTH FIX
Step Five - Flash TMOBILE KERNEL - I flashed Compulsive Ultimate 5.0 - don't know if it is absolutely necessary to this entire fix, but that is what I did anyway ....
Step 6 REBOOT
Step 7 Say thanks to the DEV who created the BLUE TOOTH FIX
GOOD LUCK
Whatever you do - make sure you give thanks to the DEV who created the BLUETOOTH FIX
This does work for wifi but bluetooth still does not work....also tried the same thing with the bluetooth folder but it didnt work

I didn't realize Bluetooth wasn't working -just tried it myself and you are correct. Hopefully someone can help us get this figured out - there must be a way....

There has to be a way....just one that I xant figure out with my limited ability....surprised there is not more interest in this....on the s4 I never used a tmobile rom...to much stutter but international update fixed it.....we shall see

I agree. The various varients (International and Tmobile anyway) phones are so similar - nearly the exact same phone, right? The only difference that I know of is the radio and the modem software - right? - but on the S4 - it was virtually possible to flash any International ROM on both ATT and TMOBILE phones even some kernels were interchangeable - hopefully, someone with a lot more brains than I have will come up with a quick and easy solution - we are so close.....fingers crossed....
@mocsab , thanks for opening this thread... Very valuable information
Hopefully the bluetooth issue gets sorted out too
thanks been wanting to get a international rom on this for awhile!
Damn you beat me to it lol i was just going to try this myself since i used to port n7100 note 2 roms to the att note 2, ill see about bluetooth
hmm wonder if same method for note 2 will work for borked bluetooth on note 3

To be honest, I don't recall - during the week I have to come back to my DD because of my travels for work and the need for blue tooth - but when I get a chance I will restore my nandroid of this rom and see -come to think of it, maybe not - which is why I always keep WIFI Explorer on my phone so I can hook up via wifi if needed. but just to be sure,I will check and get back to you.
Sure hope someone finds a BLUE TOOTH FIX sometime SOON!

Well I've tried quite a few things, flashing omega as it is actually still boots up but everything like wifi, bt and nfc still do not work. I then added the wifi folder and bt folder in the omega zip before flashing that fixed the wifi issue but still no bt or nfc. Someone in the omega thread actually made a zip with kernel and wifi fix but still bt issues and nfc. I might have to ask some other devs with higher knowledge see what they think. I've even added all lib files from a tmob rom and still nada. I'm beginning to think it's something with kernels and drivers.

Your dancing on a floor reserved for people with much greater skills than me - I really appreciate your efforts and hope soon that you and or any of the DEVS are able to come up with something that will open the door to the International ROMS - We don't have nearly enough variety yet on TOMBILE (I know, patience grasshopper, it will come) but just the same -Omega and a few others are really quite special.
Fingers crossed and thanks again
Hi everyone. I have had success with this on the XNote ROM. However, I only replaced the wifi folder and didn't bother to edit build.prop. Can anyone advise regarding the build.prop tweak. What's the purpose of it? Should I bother or leave it as is?

Yes but as you will notice bluetooth and nfc are not working, or are they for you?

No BT or NFC. Don't really use NFC. Used BT daily with headset on Note2. Learning to live without it for the while...
So I edited the build.prop...first thing after reboot I got a message saying that my Wifi connection was unstable. The connection then dropped. I had to reconnect and re-enter my wifi passkey...strange.
Since then (which is only like 20 mins) I have remained connected without a problem.
Is there possibly another field that has to be modified in the build.prop to enable Bluetooth and NFC?

To be honest, I didn't figure this out myself. I just looked at someone else's script. I've found that copying the wifi folder is all that's required. I was wrong about the build prop edits. Still no NFC or Bluetooth yet. I'm sure someone will figure this out, and we'll have interoperability among variants soon.

Isn't that a kernel issue? I think there is not yet a compatible kernel that works with Inter. ROMS on TMO devices.
I think we need to try it with cwm guys, someone mentioned everything works for him on his N900W8 note 3 but he uses chenglu cwm. ill give it a go in 2 min. Funny thing also I gave chenglu the stock recovery for N900W8 lol if its because of recovery ill personally be suprised, but doughtfull

EDIT: Yeah ignore all that, still same issues even with CWM. I think the person doesn't really know what hes looking for that says everything is working :/
