Cool. Care to do a fix for not being able to install of cm10 after trying viper? Sadly the author of viper hasn't seen fit to do a fix for his epic fail. Haha. If not no worries. Icons are pretty!

First, its not his epic fail... no one knows why it does it. Also, try anti-venom script. Worked for me. Also, please keep in mind, these guys do all this for free in their spare time... don't talk crap about them for something such as this. You kinda need to know why it does it before you can fix it.

Seems standard one would test to see if other roms could be flashed after the fact. That would seem a normal behavior of anyone who flashes roms. Wasn't insulting the guy personally, just his rom for screwing up half the boards phones. Lol. Also I think that script requires a pay app or something for flashing. Cwm doesn't work does it? Or did that change?

I'm facepalming so hard right now
I would also add that viper was beta tested for literally months before it was released. No genius tried flashing cm10 somewhere in there? Maybe the author didn't fail I don't know. Either that or the entire beta process is fail. Flashing other roms seems awfully basic. Just thought I'd add that to my last comment though. Again not insulting any dev personally. Just the rom. Months of beta testing to release a rom that screws up your phone is hard to describe in any way other than fail.

Actually, the script is something you flash in any recovery. Its rather simple. Also, I'd challenge you on whether its basic to test that as most of the people who were on the testing team weren't exactly worried about flashing other ROMs after viper... myself included. Whether you're insulting any person or not, you're still calling someone's work (something that shouldn't even be able to work on this phone no less) garbage is rather insulting no matter if you meant it as such or not. Also, check this: the ROM hasn't screwed up anyone's phone, and last I checked there's a disclaimer that says flash at your own risk. I was a beta tester and I'll have you know its one of the best testing groups I've been a part of and everything was covered. Absolutely none of the testing team encountered any issues that weren't soon fixed after. Any and all issues found through testing were eradicated. Only so much can be tested, however, and every device is different. In testing we encountered no problems whatsoever, and the fact that you would make statements such as this is appalling. Also keep in mind cm10 is currently running on a hacked up gingerbread kernel, also something that shouldn't technically work. I'm also typing this now from PACman which is part cm10 and not getting any hiccups. If you wish to continue this discussion, feel free to pm me and I'll even show you in detail the steps taken to get it all off the ground, but please do not reply here further cluttering the thread.
Also, in case you were wondering, if cwm doesn't work for flashing the script, you can always get the free version of the 4ext recovery app from 4ext.net…

Not a problem. Thanks for the info. I didn't even intend to talk about any of that at length. I think you went on about it more than I. Lol. I simply repeat it was tested for months to release a rom that messed your phone up so bad you couldn't install cm10. Seems a big oversight. I know all roms have disclaimers. Doesn't mean where one fails a failure can't be pointed out anyways. That's all I've done. Thanks for the info tho. I actually asked about it in the script thread and never heard anything definitive or the issue really discussed. I'm a simple user. Just do all flashing through cwm. Sorry this thread got off track. Didn't need to be highjacked like this. Agree. Sweet icons. Always fun to change them up!

I never make posts like this. This is usually nitsua or jizzy lately (haha).
I don't like you. From all the things I can gather about you through your posts, you are ignorant and ungrateful. I hate so much the things you've chosen to be. If you want something stable, don't root your phone. Nitsuj17, the "author" of Viper, has released quite a few ROMs for this phone despite moving on to greener pastures. He and the various devs including aeroevan, chillybean, CondemnedSoul, khamsakamal, and others I might be missing have given us ICS and even JB, which is more than we can ask of them for free and more than we've seen from HTC.
Have I encountered lag on ICS/JB ROMs? Yes. Does it suck, yeah. But that's part of the game when you root your phone sometimes. All of our latest ROMs are using a kernel that's too old because newer source isn't available due to being left out to dry by HTC. Be happy you get to even see 4.0+ at this point. Have some respect please, and maybe you'll have ours someday.
Good day, sir.

you are a complete jackass......viper rom was tested for months, and part of testing isnt "can xyz rom work after using this rom", it was verifying the rom itself worked for the end user....the aosp install scripts dont wipe / format all partitions that viper does, so not everything was getting wiped properly for those trying to go cm9/10....someone else made a script to wipe between viper and cm9, so great
you have never contributed anything ot this community except to piss me off and make yourself look like a jerk, congrats...its people like you that make devs want to walk away and say make your own ****ing roms :good:

I've only been in this thread for 2 minutes and already I can tell you are a complete worthless contribution to this community and the Android system all together. It is people like you who make the iPhone people actually have a point. You are everything that Android should not be, do us all a favor and just shut your mouth or go get an iPhone because clearly you don't deserve the benefits of Android. You do nothing for this community, and just run your mouth like you know what you are talking about, offending contributors that spend hours upon hours of their free time to do this. If you are too dumb to figure out how to flash from one ROM to the next that is not the developers fault, it is user error, and not just user error you come here and bash people because of your stupidity. It's people like you that make the real contributors not even want to publicly release their work. Go away, grow up, get a life, and get off mommy and daddys verizon plan, we don't want you here.

I figured I would start this thread so that we can move all the non-development talk out of the development section. I hope people will use it so that when something that pertains to development is talked about it will be easier to find. We can discuss what kernels gives best battery life, which ones work and which one break things. We can post about our favorite apps, widgets, wallpapers, or how the weather is outside. Maybe someone will get help on an issue they are having. We can discuss anything within the guidelines of XDA, lets just try to help keep Jovy's thread clean.
I'll start, has anyone had an issue when coming out of sleep the screen is dim and you have to go into brightness and tap it to make it work? I think maybe I set my clock frequency to low or maybe I should be using a different governor. Another issue that bugs me is when I have ripple effect set and use a black background for my lockscreen the borders of the screen look slightly grey. I have read posts about this and by turning off ripple effect the color is like it should be. I like the ripple effect and I like black backgrounds, does anyone know about a fix for this, or does anyone notice this issue on their phone.
Here's the link to the Darthstalker ROM if you read this post and want to check out the actual ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442
I am not the developer of this ROM, all credit for this great ROM goes to jovy23 and those he's listed in his OP.

I flash quite a few kernels, always making a backup prior so I can always restore. When restoring I always wipe like I'm installing a new ROM. Just to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Same here! I find 99.9% of ROM-related issues for us flashaholics stem from not performing a full wipe prior to a flash. I've been fully stable on every DaRTHSTALKER update, with LOTS of varying kernel testing, by using this method. Full data + cache + Dalvik wipe then flash than another cache/dalvik wipe before the boot is always a good strategy!

Much better. I guess I didn't even try the Rom tweaks on this one in the first place. Gonna see tomorrow how much better it will be. On another note, has anyone successfully connected to allshare play with another gs3? My girlfriend got hers (completely stock 4.1.1 w/no root) and everything else interacts except for that. Would like to group cast with her and I've followed the videos online to do it but our phones don't show up in each other's network, connected to WiFi of course.

Thank you for this thread, this is an excellent idea!
I've been a fan of this ROM since the very day the version 9 was uploaded. I got my SGS3 late December (this is my first android device), tried a few ROMs and stopped on this one. (BTW: a suggestion to put a link to the DARTHSTALKER S3 ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442 on OP so everyone new to this knows what it is all about).
This being my first post on the entire forum I was not allowed to ask questions on the original ROM's threads (and there are at least two I am following).
Now, if you don't mind a newbie question, here it is:
I am a T-mo subscriber using an unlocked AT&T phone. Currently I am on DARTHSTALKER v9 port for AT&T (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087164 ). As the most of you I am eagerly awaiting version X1 of the DaRTHSTALKER, but my question is: can I just flash the T-mobile version or should I wait for when an AT&T PORT is available?
Thnks.

I had something happen last night that I've never had happen before and maybe sometime can tell me what it was. I was restoring back after messing with a few mods that didn't work and when my phone booted up in the lower left corner it said "Safe Mode". I went back into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and then rebooted and safe mode was gone. What is safe mode?
Thanks,
Todd
Edit: Should have used Google first. Safe mode is similar to computer safe mode. It only loads base os to allow for removal of files. Still don't understand why it happened, but atleast I know it wasn't something bad.

I WOULD NOT DO THAT! Although I cannot answer the question directly, every carrier has modified there own Galaxy S3. They are all completely different. I know that if you flash a Universal galaxy S3 rom onto a T-Mobile device, it will completely hard brick it due to a change in the partition structure. If you have an At&t device, I would still stick to the Galaxy s3 at&t roms even though T-mobile is your carrier.

+1. Unlocking your phone only allows it access to a different carriers sim card. It does not change the base of the phone itself. I have a Tmobile SG3 that's unlocked for my travels but any ROM I flash must be a tmo based ROM. In your case stick with the ATT ROMs so you don't end up with a brick, and enjoy this great rom
My s3 is stalking your s3....
Does anyone have a flashable (zip) stock kernel?
I have looked and looked with no luck, I mean I can always just re flash the rom, but wanted to explore other alternatives first.

Never got such things in CM10.1 for all 3 devices I installed it on, but if your goal is that simple, reverting to CM7 (highly recommended, speediest of all ROMs I've experienced, because it's GINGERBREAD) or even stock FC09/FC19 is a good idea.

Because every phone reacts different to every ROM. My epic hated cm7, but everybody here loved it. You have to try several different ones out for yourself and see which one you and your phone like best.

You may not be a new XDA user or new to flashing, but you have two replies here saying why answering this question is moot.
Either follow Andy's suggestion, or follow mine and frost's and flash roms until you find what works best for you & your device. Plain and simple, lol.
It probably looks like I'm being an asshole here, but we've had this asked so many times over the nearly 4 years this phone has been in production. It got old years ago, and the answer never changed.
Peace out guys, not everyone's a flashaholic I know, but yeah I had been one for about a year and tried so many ROMs so that's why I have a suggestion. If @dertdezzy just lacks time like I do now, then forgive him and let him fetch my answer and enjoy GB, but meanwhile @nikon120 's got a point in there, if there's time you should really use your brain and hand to sort these subjective things out.
Maybe it's time to shut this thread?

Come on, an epic 4g is an epic 4g they are not built differently one at a time..if the same rom works different for some people then its because they are doing something different..I'm sure there's a few roms that people in general agree on as one of the most stable, or the most lag free for example..just in general of course..its not that serious to where I have time to flash a new rom everyday, restore all my settings and set ups just to find the "perfect" rom for me

Come on, an epic 4g is an epic 4g they are not built differently one at a time..if the same rom works different for some people then its because they are doing something different..I'm sure there's a few roms that people in general agree on as one of the most stable, or the most lag free for example..just in general of course..its not that serious to where I have time to flash a new rom everyday, restore all my settings and set ups just to find the "perfect" rom for me

Actually no. There are differences based on tolerances on how the die is cut for the processors. Some could handle overclocking to 1.5Ghz and others could go no higher than 1.2Ghz. I have 2 no longer in service and at one time running identical software my computer would only recognize one...reinstalled drivers on computer and both were recognized again, Agreed that in most cases it is something different in software and matching up phone for phone in a purely clean flash should yield same results. Now throw in 3rd party apps and themeing and game over.
Yup you right u right, nuff said! But would cm7 and older roms tend to be more what I'm looking for with speed, less lagging and freezing?

They're pretty much stable and good to go. You will have more space for apps on a Gingerbread rom than a ICS/JellyBean rom. Also you should have less RAM used on Gingerbread than the other types as well.
Really you just have to decide either TouchWiz or CM based. If CM, then which OS type. After that point, it's pretty easy reduce the rom list.
On cm7 for past week or so...PERFECT!! EXACTLY what I needed, thanks to the good response I got

I currently am running Frosty Bean and it is a fine rom. I would like to try others to compare but run into Google login, apn issues etc.
I've done all the wipe dalvik, system cache, etc.. but haven't been able to get any others to settle in and run.
This isnt my first rodeo I've flashed my Lg g2x tons of times. I see the modems vary here by models.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx XDA

Try Tweaked I use to flash Roms every day and sometimes few times a day when I first brought my phone back in November, but since I found Tweaked I don't have the need to go anywhere else. Is a wonderfull Rom and wonderful dev.

A third on Tweaked 2.3 rom.
two things that got me into tweaked away from jedi series roms
*you can hide that stupid blocking icon when you turn on blocking mode
*WORKING group text messaging!!!!!!!!!
it has all the pluses of Jedi Master 14 and more customization ohh yeah working wifi calling tooo:good::good::good::good::good::good:
Tweaked FTW!! Definitely worth a peak.

one other thing i might add to why i like tweaked over Jedi, low battery notification disable. this is especially usefull when you have a 9300mah ZeroLemon battery, where you can stay at 5% for 8 hours..that beep and nag starting at 15% can lasts for hours on end!!
Yes, go tweaked. The dev is an actual Dev, not just someone who dumps a bunch of random mods on the rom. He actually knows what he is doing. Try it out!

Hey guys, Tweaked is the truth abs by far the best ROM for our phones, but be careful. Some especially this last post are coming off pretty disrespectful to our devs. pmtr3 does some amazing work and a lot of original work. Just don't want this to stay making devs want to quit supporting a community because they feel like it's disrespectful.
By the way xamindar, give it a shot just "dumping random mods" and let me know how stable that turns out. A lot of work goes into even the "basic" ROMs.

If i sounded like i was being disrespectful, I apologize. No way did i mean it to come off that way. I appreciate what YOU Developers do for us. I know i cant do what you guys do. Jedi/pmtr3 roms and kernals are great thats why i use it as a reference standard to compare to.
I should have chose my words better since i didnt think that it would offend someone else. sorry
Tweaked is the business. The dev is super mature, very amazing attitude and personality and his work matches these qualities, bar none. It's also a joy to see a community very, very active. It means that this ROM gets a lot of dialogue in its thread, which leads to great ideas, trials, progress and advancement. I came from another ROM that just went stale. No dialogue. And I've tried other ROMs on XDA which are pretty ingenious and brilliant, but the smoothness of Tweaked, the vision it projects and employs and support it has is amazing. And nothing ever feels broken. More and more conversations are about progression than fixing something that's legitimately broken in the ROM. The Dev is also extremely approachable....if you have ideas, just Private Message (the preferred method) the Dev and you'll see how engaging he becomes. Very, very professional feel to this community. Check it out.

You didn't offend me and I'm no Dev. I'm just trying to learn. My comment was more directed at the other guy who came off very disrespectful (whether meant or not). I don't want people like pmtr3 or the other real devs to get offended. I mean tweaked is the best, but you can never have to many options.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
To me, Tweaked is the best fit for my tastes. It's rock solid, and like others have already said here, Dwitherell is amazing and his OCD leads to a very polished final product for us to enjoy. the degree of customization you have is
Unparalleled. Not only options you set when you flash, but also through TSM parts. The initial Lure for me was the ability to hide that damn annoying persistent notification for Smart stay and blocking mode... Etc.
I could go on and on... But really... Flashing is easy and fun... I recommend trying as many as you want and decide for yourself.
Plus... Tweaked had something no other ROM does.... ALEXIA!

WHAO dude. No need to get offended as I was not directing that towards anyone. I don't think it is very nice of you to throw out other devs names as of trying to defend them for something that wasn't meant towards them either. This can make them look bad.
And your second paragraph is what I am talking about. People who throw random mods together and call it a new rom usually end up creating something very unstable. Point is, tweaked is NOT this.

Again, I'm not offended I just didn't want it to go there of insulting the hard work or devs do. I may have took your quote wrong as saying that's what the other devs do. So I was just thinking of the biggest ROM and dev we had and said that's not what he does. So for the misunderstanding I'm sorry.
All our devs do great work, but I do agree dwitherell is on another level! He originates mods and has been since the DROID charge!

Hey ladies and gents!
I have ported a rom from our brother, d2vzw. I did some stuff so when you install this instead of downloading from d2vzw forum on this sight, your phone wont go into a boot loop or anally rape you. I really didn't need to do much work, since the hardware is identical.
1) since this from a Verizon device, will I lose service?
Probably not. I typed this topic on the cm10.2 build, and I can call and text.
2) is there focal included?
Yes!!
3) what should I do in case of errors?
Backup....duhh.
Finally, I'm not responsible for anything that you do. If you do anything that loses data, boot loop, or anything that you find an inconvience, well I'm not responsible, and you got yourself a beautiful paperweight.
And if you run into any issues/bugs let me know. I'll be happy to redirect you to the Verizon forums. I ported this. All credit and development go to damnyouwaffles and the fine folks at the Verizon forum.
Download (for d2spr): http://db.tt/cM970gM0
Finally if you want the gapps go to goo.im for the newest gapps for android 4.3

One thing to keep in mind when going from 4.1.2/4.2.2 to 4.3 - you won't be able to restore backups (ie. Titanium) after the upgrade due to changes in the file structure in the new version. This goes for both apps and their associated data.
However, you should be able to restore your apps at least when you run through the setup process and download them from Google (as long as you are keeping your phone synced up to your account that is).
Same goes for trying to restore apps taken on 4.3 to an older version.
Just something I thought I'd pass along.

Hey guys, sorry about the inconvience, but I never edited the build.prop to say that your phone is still a sprint s3. Here's the link for the updated build.prop
Download link: http://db.tt/aIMuO81N
Once downloaded you must replace the current build.prop in /system

Here's a source build for the d2spr, it was within the 10.1 thread but didn't warrant it's own separate thread as it's still early for it's own thread for anyone interested. Built today.
uh you guys, you can build actual d2spr build from sources.
You are totally correct. Titanium backup and related apps will work a lot differently when the appropriate updates come.
NOTE TO USERS WHO INSTALL THIS ROM. WHEN YOU INSTALL GOOGLE APPS FOR ANDROID 4.3, SOME APS WILL FC FREQUENTLY. THE FIX AROUND THIS IS TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE APPS.

DUDE - I DID read. I just wanted an update since a few hours ago to see how this specific rom was running. I can't stand people that just tell others to "read." You must assume that everyone but you is an idiot and I am sorry to disappoint you. I guess people like me completely ruin your day. Such a shame. I will be sure not to disappoint you in the future. Maybe you didn't realize that the person only two posts above yours mentioned the fix for lost root without even a link. Maybe I am not the one who needs to do the reading.
And...I am NOT a NOOB - I have been a member longer than YOU. Have a nice day!
So...I got a PM from a newer user who can't post yet but he wanted to make sure that I knew what to do to ensure flashing this Rom will be effective. Here is what he said:
"Apparently I can't post in the developer forums until I've made 10 posts, but I registered just so I could answer your question. Installing the rom and allowing it to boot, then installing gapps wouldn't let me use wifi either. In order to get 10.2 to work correctly I had to flash the rom, 4.3 gapps, and SuperSU all at the same time in one recovery boot session."
So if you plan on giving this Rom a run, give that a shot for the best results. Glad I got my answer.
did you try the root fix? maybe even have a link? can i use any su flashable zip?
thanks in advance
