My first question post, so please don't flame me.
I went from ktoonez AOKP to M1 AOKP when M1 was first released and gtalk video chat does not work anymore and neither does the sound. I have also tried to use skype but that too comes through as static and no video.
I have done a full wipe factory data/wipe catche and format /system. It didn't bother me for a while and I have since switched roms to slim rom. When I went back to stock with root the video and the static issue went away but as as soon as I flashed the static came back.
What have I done wrong? I flash all the apropriate zip files in the correct order and such.
When I was on M1 I flashed kt747 kernel as well. Did I miss something along the way?
what kind of logs would be needed to help with the issue? right now I am on the latest slim rom with the kernel it came with
Thanks for all your help and I appreciate the help and will thank all who wish to help
also, video audio playback from recorded videos do work fine.
any ideas?
summary...
flashed 10.22.12 task rom, everything seemed peachy. also added the jusTUN bean gapps with proper wiping i forgot to mention.
then flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949025 and after a little flashed the kt747 kernel. noticed the audio issue before the kernel flash. i can't say if the audio issue started with the first flash. still had tun
flashed a few more roms, baked (no data, LTE issue?), liquid smooth with tun, and back to task's AOKP without tun.
got fed up with the inability to find info on my issue and went back to stock through ODIN then flashed task again to see if that would fix it perm., it didn't. it WAS fine on stock after flashing through odin (i flashed the stock rom with root already injected in it)
and now i'm on slimrom. enjoying slim as I enjoyed it on my bf's SII but STILL having the audio issue..
it really irks me that after starting anew with going back to stock with odin helped completely then flashing a rom fked it again...
i do full wipe, user data, cache, dalvik, format /system... all through the newest CWM non-touch. then proceed to flash the rom normally

I personally haven't tried Skype at all on my phone yet. There are some pretty slick touchwiz ROMs out that really persuade you to get away from cm10 and stuff. Here is one I am really liking.

Thanks for the reply my man. That's an idea I never thought of. I did flash wanam light before going through Odinand flashing ccompletely stock with root. I don't believe I flashed it incorrectly since I had no data again, may have forgotten to format data but I was a little stressed at then time. I'm just really used to aosp at the moment but I willgive it a try after ttrying to find out what's wrong.
Other things in noticed that most likely its the top mic that's the issue. Another thing is my buddy said he had a sound issue simular from his headset connected to his computer and stated that it was because too much voltage was being pushed to his mic.... So wondering if that's any relevance

Have many people complained about functionality in gtalk?
I still kinda don't want to switch to a Sammy based rom..
Thanks for all the help!
Hello all, I hope I won't get too much flak for creating this thread but I'm hoping to save some time and effort if some of you are willing to help me out here.
My buddy had asked me recently if I could help him use his phone as a hotspot when he goes on vacation, and I suggested that he install a custom rom to get that function since for some reason a Sprint rep told him he couldn't do it (not sure on the whole story with that...).
Anyway, I'm not really a newbie on rooting/flashing as I have an older Galaxy S1 device that I constantly work on, but on the other hand that's about the only device I have experience with.
My questions are:
1) Is rooting/installing a custom rom the best way for him to use his phone as a hotspot? It seems to be built into every rom that I've had on my device.
2) What are the most popular (and stable) roms available for this device? I'm asking because I won't see him enough to flash updates and he's not really the type to do that.
3) Are there any serious risks to rooting/flashing this device? I'm spoiled with my older Galaxy S1 phone that has no problem going from rom to rom like it was it's job. He'll probably be upgrading soon, but I still don't want to break it.
Thanks for any input. Oh and I don't know if this matters, but I'm almost positive he's on stock ICS right now.
1. The hotspot app won't work on stock because he needs the plan with sprint to use it. There are 3rd party apps out there that can use your phone as a hotspot. Most roms have the wifi hotspot check disabled so you can use the app the rom came with. Be warned if sprint catches you tethering too much data they could cut you off.
2. Maybe look into the blu kuban rom. It's very stable, awesome battery life, and looks awesome. It also has a built in updater in case there is an update.
3. If you read the instructions you should be fine. There's really no downside besides the emmc brick bug which can render your phone useless but most (if not all) kernels have this patched. Also remember that this phone has the recovery image packed with the kernel.
Hope this helps.

If you install stock/rooted gb27 jb you can use the EmperorX 4g hot spot mod.
Look up Emperor X in apps and themes, its not too complex to get working.

The blu kuban rom looks good, but I didn't see any JB roms that looked all that great (feel free to correct me) and I see that Cyanogenmod doesn't officially support this device for some reason. Are there any mostly stable 4.1 or 4.2 roms that you would recommend or is ICS the way to go?
edit: I wasn't looking in the 'original development' forum and just noticed there's a lot of good 4.2 roms that I'm used to like slim, AOKP, etc, now my question is if I wanted to flash a new rom is it the same as I do on my phone- wipe data/cache/davlik then flash rom/gapps and reboot? Is it that simple on this phone too?

If you have CWM 5 (gb or cm9) or CWM 6 (AOSP-based jellybean) you can just flash rom and gapps in recovery
If you do not have CWM 5 or 6 (anything touchwiz ICS+), you should use Mobile Odin or (less conveniently) PC Odin to flash the EL26+cwm kernel, then boot to recovery by holding vol+ and power. You can flash anything in EL26 recovery without incident
Hey guys,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I've searched on the forums and on Google with no luck. Recently, my sound stopped working on my GSIII running CarbonRom 1.6. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, it just stopped working one day. Also when I'm in a call, the person on the other line cannot hear me. I've checked the sound settings numerous times and have made sure that I am not in silent mode.
I have tried other 4.2.2 ROMs and they all have produced the same result. I have also tried a factory reset and formatted data in TWRP. I reverted back to stock and have noticed that the sound seems to work when I'm not running 4.2.2 ROMs. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I really prefer the look and feel of vanilla Android and I'm really bummed out that 4.2.2 ROMs seem to kill sound. Thanks.

That's an easy questiion, like I have been saying all along none of the cm10/aosp/aokp or ported roms
are ready for prime time, they are good for those who want to experiment with a few features not found
in stock t999 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms. None of the cm/aosp/aokp roms even have the Wifi calling feature.
That's why after trying all the aosp/aokp/CM and ported roms I have come to the conclusion above.
So unless you like experimentation only flash T-Mobile T999 stock 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms
or any of the custom roms which are based on T-Mobile T999 Touchwiz v4.1.1 Jellybean stock rom.
The best custom T999 T-Mobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.1 based rom in my opinion
is the Wicked v9.1 custom rom, check it out you won't be disappointed.
Good Luck!
You could always try to flash your 4.2.2 Tim of choose and choose not to restore Google backup, Google backs up settings. If it works without setting up your account then go from there.

Just retired my Tmobile S2 / Jedi Mind Trick and purchased a new Tmobile S3 LTE. Just rooted it and put on CWM.... Which ROMS have the following.
1.WiFi Calling and MMS
2.Good Battery Life
3.Silky Smooth and Lighting Quick
4.Plenty of Free Memory
5.Bloatware free
Thanks
All Roms based on the Samsung Touchwiz Framwork will support WiFi Calling. So try S3Rx by @enewman17 or StockMod by @saranhai. Eitheer way, I suggest flash KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz.
In my opinion, (and this can be debatable.) AOSP Roms have more free Ram and slightly better battery life. However they will never support WiFi calling. Let me know if you want to explore that.
I found this thread in search before asking the same question.
Not all touchwiz based ROMs support Wifi calling. Read posts 31 and 32 in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735506&page=4
I am having a hard time finding the best ROM for my needs. I have to have wifi calling. I have tried several, and really like the KitKat based AICP, but that doesn't do wifi calling, so I started looking for Touchwiz based ROMs, but can't find a good stable one that works well FOR ME.
To rephrase Perseus' statement, only Touchwiz roms based on T-Mobiles firmware will have wifi calling.

Yup. That makes it far more difficult to sort them out.
I am going to try out StockMOD Rom now.
Most TW roms are built from a tmobile base. If not it should specify [PORT] in the title and/or OP.

Hi, I am new here to trying to figure out how to enable mobile hotspot/tethering and wifi calling with my SGH-T999L(t-mobile, prepaid 5GB data).
My phone(ver. 4.3) is rooted by Odin method with root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.tar.md5 file. And superSU(ver. 1.94) was automatically(?) installed during the rooting but never used it since. Anyway, this was my very first dealing with phone software; I have never experienced rooting/flashing before. Please bear with my ignorant terms and questions...
q1. Isn't there any reasonably safe ROM to enable tethering?
q2. Can I flash the custom ROM with Odin, same process as my rooting but just change the MD5 file?
q3. Do I need to configure my phone before or after the custom ROM flashing for tethering?
when I rooted, I did not make any recovery. I had no clue about Knox counter before and still don't know where and how to check Knox counter with my phone.. I have just followed YouTube "safe rooting methods for s3" without much knowledge. How lucky my phone is not a brick now!!
1. Any of the Custom AOSP Roms will have tether built in. If you want to keep stock Touchwiz, you will have to use some Tether app from Play store.
2. Yes and no. You first flash custom Recovery with Odin. Same process except different file. Then you flash custom roms (which are in zip format) via the custom Recovery. A custom Recovery is TWRP, CWM or Philz Touch.
3. Usually yes after the custom rom is up and running. Just a few click to turn it on or customize to your preferences. No Rocket science there.
Knox Counter or Warranty Bit is displayed when you put the phone in download mode. If its zero that means its not set. If its 1 then you tripped it.
Is there any Tmobile based TW ROM that has HALO? If not, is there a good add on or app for notifications? Halo was one of the things I really liked about AICP. It seems possible, as Slimbean says it doesn't include HALO by choice.
It seems that all the ASOP ROMs are KitKat. Since KitKat is on the way to Tmobile S3 at some point. When that happens, will it allow ASOP type ROMS with Wifi, or am I mixing up several concepts?
HALO is a feature introduced by AOKP Developer community. Hence it is found only in Roms that are based on that code base such as PAC MAN. Other ROMs particularly Stock touchwiz will never the feature as is. Samsung did introduce something similar called floating Notifications that some liked but most did not. They base on Google's code so the AOKP code will never make it into Samsung Stock. However, I do recall there was bounty on Verizon's forum for bringing HALO to Touchwiz. Don't know what happened to it. I don't use touchwiz.
Speaking of all these terms, you indeed are mixing quiet a few things. AOSP Roms, based either on Google's code or CM's code will never use anything from the AOKP fork. This is by design. If you want to know why, you will have to understand the difference between AOSP and AOKP. Google is your friend.
I recall Liquidsmooth at one point in the 4.3 code had introduced HALO. Don't know if it continued or not. I do know, with the significant code changes to Kitkat, these prior features are not working and the developers are working to port them over. Its a matter of time. Speaking of which, all Custom Roms do have a 4.3 variant. Its just that users want the latest and greatest so you won't see much discussion of the 4.3 now. But it sure does exist.
After you accept Stock Kitkat update, I am sure you can continue to flash custom Kitkat Roms. Who knows, they might have moved to Key Lime Pie by then. But I don't think I understood the question. Are you referring to the Tether or WiFi hotspot ?
I was referring to wifi caling. That is a make or break feature for me. I found a few ROMs that were head and shoulders above TW (FOR ME), but because of lots of steel and concrete structures in my AO I really need wifi calling. I looked into multiboot, but I would have to toggle back and forth too much to make it work.
Wi Fi calling can and only will work with Samsung's Stock Touchwiz. So since that's critical to you, I'd suggest sticking with the stock Rom and Root it if needed. Once Rooted you can remove the bloat to make it more viable. You can also use the KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz. That will allow you to get better battery life.
As to your HALO wish, I guess, you'd have to stick with floating notification and Multi Window features Samsung has. You could try some of the ports of Xposed frameworks. But be cautious to make sure it does not break something else.

Thank you very much. :good: Really sorry to bother you but more Qs..
1. When you say stock Touchwiz, does that mean the file I flashed for rooting? root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.tar.md5
I have also tried many Tether apps found from google store and none of them worked. They just brings me to T-mobile error message.
2. Beyond tethering, I also like to have WIFI calling function although wifi calling is not as important as tethering for me. Benz said StockMOD works for WIFI calling. So, I was thinking about to flash StockMOD for my custom ROM as long as it will also work for tethering... Do you know whether it works for tethering? If so, would you tell me where I can find StockMOD? By the way, is StockMOD a custom ROM?
3. Did I really screw up my phone warranty? Ouch,,, I have just checked the message on download mode of my phone. It says following:
product name: sgh-t999L
custom binary download: no
current binary:Samsung Official
System Status: custom
DualDomm Secure Boot: enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP Swrev: 1
Any unusual status you notice beyond warranty Bit? Is this saying my phone is rooted? Frankly, I am still not confident to say my phone is rooted.. AGain, thank you very much for your help.:good::good:
Touchwiz is the name of samsungs launcher and modifications they made on top of Android. So whem you see stock, tw, or touchwiz its referring to the official firmware from samsung. Touchwiz based, tmobile roms are the only ones with wifi calling.
The warranty bit is tripped. No way around this if you plan to flash anything anymore. But yes, your warranty is now void im afraid...

Hey guys. So, I am a little frustrated with the ROMs available. I am hoping that you guys can help me. Right now I am on Emotion ROM. Great ROM. Love the way the UI looks. But I have been having too many problems and at this point I am ready to just flash the most basic ROM out there. I love customization as anyone does. But I also like stability. What would you guys suggest I flash? Customization and stability is important. But like I said worst case scenario I will flash the most basic stable rom if I have too. Suggestions?
MOAR is very customizable and very stable. But you have to follow the directions in the 1st post precisely otherwise you'll run into issues.
I heard that MOAR was being updated as well.
I had MOAR 2.1b , now running Dr.ketan's S7 rom. Major improvement. My note 4 has never been this fast/stable.not a single FC or crash.everything works.battery life has never been better.MM is something else in terms of fluidity.would highly recommend Dr.ketan's S7 rom.

I think I'll wait for that ROM to get a little more popular. Would it matter if I downloaded a stock rom with a bad ass kernel?
I believe you can use his kernel on stock ROMS

If you're talking about dr. Ketans rom. I had no issues with the texting incoming or outgoing. I belive i was prompted to install a mandatory patch for the rom soon after it booted up the first time. Mabye that fixed it? Or mabye i just didnt face the problem because im using it on a GSM network.

Right now I am on just a stock rom. Makes me happy because everything is working with no problems. I have a FitBit so bluetooth is very important to me. Can someone recommend a kernel for stock rom or a stable rom that works with Bluetooth.
