Quick question. When you install a custom ROM on an s3, is all of the bloatware removed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

QUOTE amessina: Quick question. When you install a custom ROM on an s3, is all of the bloatware removed?
When you go an download a new custom ROM It should specify if the bloatware was removed or not. It depends on which ROM you picked.
Normally this is specified in the description of the actual ROM thread.

depends on the rom. Most carrier bloat is removed on the s3 roms but Samsung bloat still on most touchwiz based roms

I'm Happy that it worked. I was searching for a good tutorial that anyone could follow. So I decided to make this for everyone could enjoy it. Cheers!

Surprisingly I haven't found a need to root my GS3 just yet...I'm still holding off but this just added another for me.
"Thanks" button hit

Has anyone used this with the speaker booster app? I currently use that to increase my speaker volume but was thinking about flashing this. Please let me know your thoughts.

Great tutorial. Works "AWESOME"

Works amazing! Thanks so much, I am really enjoying the improved audio!

Great job! It sounds so much better. Just another reason to root your SIII.

Hmmm. I ran everything as directed and I have no "Music Effects" anywhere in my settings/sounds. Do I need to run though everything again?

I'm running the stock AT&T Rom - rooted, of course. No errors during installation and everything seemed to go as planned.

Does this work on aokp?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

At the moment only only stock rooted. I haven't tried on AOKP. I'm sticking with stock rooted for the moment. If someone would like to try. Just make sure to make a nandroid backup.
jerastan: I would suggest to try and do a restore from your nandroid backup and to it all over again.
I tried a different rom today and it didn't requirer the data wipe to install the .zip on top.
Just clear cache and dalvik. Install .zip and reboot.

Many thanks! Especially because this seems to be the only third party equalizer i can get to work with Google Play Music on-device songs on a stock rom.

Same for me on Kyanrom based on Stock Rogers rom
Edit: I just installed this and I see the music effect. It sounds bad though as soon as i activate a preset i hear crackling noises

Any stable JB update?

I really want to flash a JB rom but i keep seeing that other software needs to be reinstalled. Just wondering if there was any JB rom that is close to factory as far as installation? EX. AT&T newest ICS OTA update. I used a modified version but installation went very smooth. I see so many roms but some issues with them an other things that need to be reinstalled.

Flashing any firmware on your phone has inherent danger to it. If you feel nervous about, just wait until att pushes the official JB update. If you don't want to wait, just do a lot of research first.

Screen flicker?
Kinghorsey did you still have to reinstall gapps?

damn that sounds annoying lol... so none of these are pretty perfect yet?

I was scared to flash a rom on my phone so i decided to flash my kindle with a JB rom. It worked great minus that i had to reinstall all my apps and my data got erased. So my question is, now that i know how to install a rom and Gapps... is there anyway to flash a rom without loosing all my data? What do i use to update this info?

Purchase Titanium Backup Pro from the play store. Great app. You can back up all of your apps and app settings there (dont backup/restore the system settings though) and then when you flash the new rom, install titanium on that, and restore the backup

Is that the only program that does that? How about astro?

Go Backup did for free, but they made some changes and Im not sure how they work now.
You'll have to look around for an app that will backup/restore apps and data.
Titanium backup is the best though.

Titanium is also free the last time I used it before purchasing the free version made you manually restore each app. (not to big of a deal just time consuming) Just remember to only restore apps no system data. As for SMS there are a lot of SMS backup apps. I use my backup pro for SMS

[Q] Internal Storage writing error [SOLVED]

Hi
I've posted a few threads relating to my issue, and I keep thinking it is solved, but the issue still lingers for me. The previous posts are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791701
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808195
My current issue is having a few apps write to storage. The 3 apps that are most obvious are:
Dropbox - when exporting a file, it says 'error exporting file'
Beautiful widgets - I download a skin, but it doesn't show up in the downloaded files list.
Sixaxis - I made a custom controller profile, and hit save, but it doesn't save. The folder to put downloaded profiles doesn't seem to exist.
I'm pretty sure this issue started when I used the Gnex toolkit to backup and restore when I was updating from Android 4.0.3 to 4.1.
If I knew it would help, I would go so far as to restore back to 4.0.3, and factory reset,
Anyone offer any insight into this?
Thanks

Yep, still have about 5 GB free

So just to clarify, have you changed anything with your phone such as flashing a rom, rooting, or a custom kernel?
If so you might want go back to stock and see if that fixes it.

Yeah.
My carrier was being really slow about releasing Jelly Bean, so I rooted, and installed it myself.
It was "bigxie_JRN84D_rooted_busybox_deodexed" for 4.1 and
Maguro_JZO54K_Deodexed_Rooted_FactoryImage_teshxx for 4.1.2
Both just zipped version of the factory image. I didn't change the Kernel beyond that.
My carrier has now released the most current version now, so I could return to stock, then root again.

Sounds like a good idea, and if you're looking for a good Rom,I would suggest minco, it's as stable as stock and a whole lot faster with better battery life.

Think I got it solved.
Previously I was doing a factory reset on the phone, so it was restoring the same ROM.
Today I used the Gnex toolkit, and flashed the stock rom from google, and re-rooted. That seems to have worked. I can export files from Dropbox no problem now.

Glad to hear it

How to fix the "0" folder?

Hi I flashed CM 10.1 with twrp, but was created the "0" folder in my sd card. Somebody know how can I fix this problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Googling helps when trying to find answers...
There are a lot of guides on how to "fix" this. If done CORRECTLY you will have only one 0 folder. You also need to update your recovery to the latest version.

this isn't a problem as such, this is just a new feature in 4.2.1. so if you create another users a folder called 1 will be created and so on, this is just the user-space of that particular user.

use TWRP recovery

Like the others said it's not necessary an error.
It would be an error if you flash another ROM and you end up with "Emulated/0/0" folder struckture.

For 4.2 roms, Install CWM recovery 6.0.2.3
Backups made after the instilation will be in data/media/clockworkmod.
To see the backup when you usb connect to a computer, you need to move the backup to data/media/0/clockworkmod.
The data/media/0 folder would have already been generated and is your new SD card directory.
CMW now has .tar back ups set as default. This means no more blobs folder and a complete backup is made.
You can select to save using the blobs folder method if you prefer.
So keep in mind if you have a backup using the blobs method that you want to restore, you may have to restore it before installing the latest version of cwm or switch between the .tar and dup methods (untried by me)
D3VIOUS runs a clockworkmod revovery thread on the development section, read the last 3-4 pages and your pretty much set.

it isnt a "problem" the sdcard format changed in 4.2 due to the multi-user feature being added.. now you have 2 choices
1. flash the latest twrp and you will only have that one "0" folder
2. use the guide linked in my sig to revert back to the old sdcard format and get rid of the "0" folder

Changing From Rom to Rom

Sorry nub Q,...

Titanium Backup.

Been some problems with titanium back up when flashing new roms, see galaxy nexus development threads for some examples, if you want a relatively failsafe method that stores your apps off phone you can use a file manager like astro to back up all your apps into apks then drop the backups into a folder on your computer via usb, along with any media or data you want preserved, then reload after fully wiping phone and flashing new rom, you might have to download a file manager to install the apks if rom doesnt have one. Gather you have a custom recovery installed, dont forget to update it prior to flashing new rom so you can recover if all doesnt go to plan. Good luck

If you are using the latest version of titanium backup, you have the option of creating flashable zips of all your apps with data included. Tried it a few times and it seems to work flawlessly for me. The key is to avoid restoring any system apps. I have about 70+ apps to restore and setup. Before it would take me an hour or two, now is done in about 10 minutes.

Titanium backup is useless unless you actually have the pro version. Pro version makes it all one click, set it and forget it. Definitely recommend it for any custom rom flasher.
