figured since SS closed his dev thread we could start a thread to help each other out with issues and for people like kaotic mpc and other add on creators to post any new toggles, screens, etc
And thanks and "happy trails", Steve! You did great work on the GS3!

it is a sad day when the odexed blue thread gets closed. I will be on the GS3 until April at least. I hopped on M.O.A.R. v6. Its a fast, stable ROM and whats great, you can theme things to look slightly Odexed Blue!
I will keep my flash-ables up in my folder!

Had to smile at the title of this thread
I was very sad to see Steve move on, but I'm happy for him and his Note3. If the spouse decides to upgrade from the Note2 we will definitely check out whatever SS is doing.
I decided to take the plunge - yesterday I flashed Wicked Sensations, with a bit of an experiment. I did the nandroid, the wipes, the install all on Clockwork recovery. Also downloaded the MD4 modem. I was warned against the Advanced Restore for all data, but I did it and everything seems to be working fine so far. I like the Kuban Updater but I think it will work better for me once I (eventually) change to the TWRP recovery.
I'll report back on battery life, etc.
I miss Odexed Blue but for now Wicked Sensations is very nice.

If ur too worried about switching to twrp all at once I would recommend checking out @CNexus recovery switcher... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274796. It uses the aroma installer to install twrp ,cwm ,and cwm touch. That way you can test out twrp and if u don't like it it's not hard to get right back to what u like.

I was a very dedicated Odexed Blue user too. Actually still have it as my daily, but now all of the google updates are happening and my apps are ugly again.
I was curious about doing an advanced restore. Did you do it for data only? Even the odexed apps work? This makes me much more likely to make the switch. At least until I upgrade my phone in March. However, from what I've been reading I'm not so sure I'm going to jump to the Note 3. When the biggest complaint on the newest phone is call quality I really question what the manufacturers are focusing on.

Yes, I did the Advanced Restore - Data Only...and yes, everything has been working fine. I was prepared to revert completely via nandroid if I had encountered any issues - but there were no issues whatsoever. Once I felt comfortable, I replaced my recovery and did a nandroid of the new set up.
Spouse has a Note2. Spouse isn't really a power user and hasn't shown any interest in the Note3 so we are waiting. I don't know anyone local with a Note3, so I haven't checked out the call quality.
3 out of our 5 family lines are now off contract - mine and the other remaining contract line will go off in the spring so we are waiting to figure out our next move. For now I'm perfectly fine with my S3 w/extended OEM battery and Wicked Sensations.
In general Sprint has been very good to us - we have LTE nearly everywhere we go and the only dead spot in our county seems to reside in spouse's office, so Sprint gave us a free Airave. But paying $250/month for the five lines plus Airave is getting to be a drag. I'm the only data hog in the family - typical use over 5 to 6 GB/month as no WiFi at work and I use Google Maps turn by turn for travel. So we are weighing options.

Well...after looking at the new T-Mobile plans and testing their coverage with a prepaid SIM for a couple of days, we have decided to move to T-Mobile. We will be saving $100/month with 2 unlimited lines & 2 with 2.5GB. I moved Mom to Ting so she could keep her old flip phone. Her service before tax will be $9/month.Found nice phones on Swappa - need to sell my Sprint phones. We will break even on switching costs including $140 in EFTs few months...after that it's all savings for us.

You can edit the build.prop file to get the ota notifications to stop. I thought that I was locked to odex roms as well, but I've made the switch over to Wicked Sensations (not the 4.3 version yet, but Dazed does have one, there are 2 separate threads for MD4 and MK3) and its a similar experience to Odexed Blue.

This is a little update to the mostly stock ROM I posted when we first got the NS4G. It is mostly the same, I updated the kernel to matr1x 1.2ghz cfs kernel. Its been working well for me. It is deodexed/zipaligned. It has dreamsforgotten's Quick Panel mod, so huge thanks to him for the time he put in porting it. I removed any apps that can be downloaded from the market, I think g-mail and voice are newer than the ones that came on the phone.
Here is another small update. I updated the market, tweaked a few things, and added the matr1x cfs kernel by mathkid95. It is oc'd to 1.2 at boot so setcpu is not needed.
ROM v.0.1.1
ROM v.0.1.1 w/Matr1x 1.4 and smartass
This new kernel still boots at 1.2, but it has a 1.4 slot also. It is also bfs.

No sd card, like its not mounted? Try a reboot and see if that helps. My phone has been doing that since I rooted, before I even put this on it. A reboot helped.
*Wow, I guess you made it pretty clear your sd wasnt mounted :/

Sure enough - that worked. Weird. Hadn't noticed that in the 2 days since I've been rooted. I only noticed it because I went in to Titanium to restore apps and they weren't being detected. Problem solved I guess!
And thanks mikey - I tried other ROMs for non-4g NS and I can't get a data connection with any of them.
Any devs know what is causing the sd to unmount? I was having the issue just stock rooted also.

Your welcome My sd unmounted sometime earlier, I tried to take a pic of my kids and the camera told me to mount sd before using camera. Its happened a few times randomly. It was for sure happening to me before I ever flashed anything, so I dont know what it could be.
What benefit does deodexing do?
None. It just gives you the ability to theme and modify things. Some say it slows things down, others say its faster deodexed. We may see a theme or two in the next few days..its nice to have options til the CM guys figure this out. I was just trying to help, maybe get the ball rolling on things. Also, even if you don't want to flash this, netarchy's kernels are awesome, I recommend flashing one of those at a minimum.

Personally, I'm very happy you put this together. If nothing else, it validated for me that the other ROMS for non-4g ns are not going to work out of the box.
As I stated earlier, I had zero data services on multiple flashed ROMS. This is the first one that has worked flawlessly...obviously meaning there are definitely differences in some files for ns. Vs. Ns4g and ROMS will need to be tweaked for them to work correctly.
Thanks again for the work.

Mod's, I for one, would appreciate a separate Sprint/CDMA Nexus 4G section please. I've already seen a couple of our members unknowingly flash the wrong ROM and radios!
Yeah let's spread the Nexus S community some more, if anything we need the Nexus S community to stay together. OPs just need to label their post with what phone it corresponds to.
users should look at the title post date before flashing anything.. again, the OP is not responsible for any bricks or anything like that. flashing risks are upon the user.
if you split the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G community... it'll only be Sprint users and it'll probably be a deadzone whereas the main "Nexus S" forum would consist users from around the world with the only exception as the NS4G... you really want your own separate forum where it barely has anybody else? the only forum that would have a difference would be "Android Dev." Q&A/General/Themes/Accessories are the same.
I'm sure compatibility will come forward shortly. Netarchy's kernel for the Nexus S is compatible with NS4G, its in the same flashable .zip too. I don't see why ROMs wouldn't follow this. Just give it some time.
When going to 4g settings, i get a force close. Wiped all too
Uncle Jimmy says hello
The chances of bricking by flashing wrong rom are pretty slim, afik. We will be fine with a single ns section. people will just have to read a little before they flash a rom.
That being said, has anyone found any issues with this rom yet? Other than it needs appwidgetpicker.apk added

Thanks for getting my back. I did a lot of research, for the last few months or so. I only removed bloat system apps from the ROM. I agree, could've been more descriptive, but I didn't want to list like 60 apps and take up space. Now, the contacts that were in the system are TW based. Everything was taken from datajosh's FF18 stock rooted deodexed, and then themed from ev1lart toxic theme that I ported over form the sgh-t989. Everything worked with the exception of Contacts as stated above. I have since put everything back the stock exchange and email back and tested, but same problem, and after doing so the SystemUI wouldn't function correctly. So i rolled back to original to still have contacts FC. I was hoping maybe an experienced dev wouldn't mind downloading and taking a look. Maybe see something I had overlooked is all.
Also, forgot to mention that I am in the process of re-themeing

Oh, btw you really need to try the Autoapktool from here, make sure you get 204a:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577025
I've fought with apk's for a long time and come to find out, there's a frickin corrupt .9.png file or something else somewhere not allowing me to compile correctly even though it's looking like it is. The trick is anything you decompile, it pops up a status window letting you know if the decompile went well. It's a pretty advanced tool and supports ICS.
BTW: How noob? You're double checking/setting system permissions when you push apps correct?

OK. I have all sorts of tools. Autoapktool works great decompiling, but not so good with recompiling. Agat63 does some awesome work though, he has mad skills. I wouldn't be anywhere without all the great devs here. I use the original apktool for most, but there is a new ics apktool I use (apktool for ics basically. These two I use exclusively for de/recompile, unless I just want the res really quick. I use auto in order to create flashables and such.... I have tried stock and tried to add via root explorer individually. Once again, contacs is a no go, and neither is systemUI. Also tried pushing using GangsKidz kitchen. Pushes the right way every time. But, still no joy. Dazed is going to take a look to see what he can find, but for now I think I am just going to start over.....

I created a theme, but the testing of it went just as well as my ROM, so it is on hold until I find out which exact apk(s) is(are) f'd up. I have also cleaned it up quite a bit.
Ok everyone. I ha e discovered my mistake. The pro lem.lies.within the idiot that made.it....me. Seriously though. The theme was just fine and dandy, but I used the assets from the ported framework, hence why everything went awry. I searched for 6-7 hours straight to figure this one out. With that being said, I have semester finals this week. I will get back on this on Thursday or Friday this week. Hope to have this bad boy themed and ripping out next week. Also, what are thoughts about an apple osx themed rom? Im not much an iphan <-- get it? But I do have a Mac, and like osx. Just wanted some input. Thank you everyone who has helped with suggestions and tools. I was losing m mind, chasing my tail for hours....

I believe if it will be a theme that we can try out, that would be a nice option. If it is going to be entire rom based on that theme, I'm not certain how that will be recieved but you just never know.
Edit: Sorry, just being honest.

That would be great. As stated above, I won't start until Thursday or Friday, these finals are killing me. I did notic most were in code. Found all that out when trying to recompile. That is why I built using the assets....totally forgot about putting them in there. I will hit you up when I start working on it again. This theme is too good to pass up though!

I thought it would be grate to have a spot, were we clould ask questions to Clark44 about his Rom FreeGS3 v0.0.7 7-27-12
I am a realy Big fan since version 7 the Installer shows so much spunk!!!
I realy think keeping everything for Clark44 in one spot will help him in further creation of his rom.
After spending time with this rom all i can think about is how do I donate to keep it going?
I can not wait for the themes to come out for this Rom.
***First question Clark. May I use Setcpu and Ram Manager with your Rom?

goo rom manager question
I do not want to loose the abilty to save recoveries to my extSdCard. So I am afraid to switch from CWM version that i am using.
The question is, can we use the Goo Manager to download the zip then use the CWM to flash it ?
I am just not sure if it packed and repack the same way.
Youtube isn't working when I'm on the go, using my 3g. But it works fine when I connect to Wifi. Maybe I did something wrong or maybe it just my phone?
Clark44 never sleeps...he is a rom machine
I noticed on the messaging app that the vibration when silent option was absent with .7. I don't need my phone vibrating when I get texts with sound on so I was wondering if there was a way to get that back. Thanks.

I prefer the old options too. When I unchecked vibrate and sound in settings > sound I still get vibration when texts come in
No S-Voice options please
The installer is very cool. This is now my goto build for installing modems, I can install them at install then update PRL with one build.
I can't live with S-voice though, it just can't call the people I want and... don't get me started on it.
I hoped choosing not to install the removed Samsung apps would include S-voice but I still get it when I make a BT voice dial.
Is there any way to have the option to not have S-voice and use Google voice instead?
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this thread! I can't post in the dev forums yet (too new) so I had no way to get into the conversation.
I've got two questions.
1. Is anyone using JuiceDefender with this Rom? I'm used to it from my Samsung Galaxy Epic, but I wasn't sure if it's needed on this ROM. I like some of the features (Location aware Wifi, etc) but maybe not if it's sacrificing battery.
2. (For Clark) On version .8, is there any way to build in some of the color/theme options from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28676439 ? I'm not a big fan of green, so I would love to change the colors of the battery and the 15 toggles...

Well, I think it depends on how you use your phone. For me at least, JuiceDefender has helped out TREMENDOUSLY. I live in an area with bad reception and I'm constantly going in and out of roaming. Having all my data turned off while I'm not using the phone really helps boost my battery life (and not having to do so manually is worth the $5 in my opinion).
Without JD I'm at about 10-15% when I get home from work (10 hr work days). With JD I'm at about 30% when I get home.
I guess everyone's mileage may vary, but if you've already bought JD you might as well try and see if it helps your battery life.
side note: I also love the night tint in JD
I've actually got a couple of questions with this ROM.
First, though, I have to say this is a phenomenal ROM. I initially flashed it solely as a stop-gap while waiting for CM10 to come out for my Sprint GSIII, but it quickly has become my daily driver.
So with the installer on the 0.0.7 version, there are multiple radios. Is there any advantage in flashing one of those, or just leaving it be? Also I really like the CRT animations and beats audio, but it wasn't there in the 0.0.7 version, so I just went with 0.0.6. Is there a way to get it on the 0.0.7 version or have those features been disabled? I went off the video review on youtube, linked but for some reason, on my version, little to no features were on mine compared to the review video. Is there a way to enable them on the newest version? Thanks.
It got lost on the main thread, but awesome beats will be back in .8 (he forgot to put it in .7) and crt was broken by Samsung

Nice thread you guys have going on here
As for themeing. Let me explain how im going to have this system setup at latest by v0.0.9.
I've done some research and finally found an app that will do the following:
1. Notify when update is available
2. Allow user to download themes, bootanimations, apps, flashables, all within the app and all supplied by me.
3. Allow the user to read the changelog of upcoming buids on the go.
The link to this app is here
Now i already started migrating the boot animation option i already finished in Aroma installer into this app and that should be done very soon. Themers will also be able to send me whatever they make and i can make it an option in the app!
This will benefit us in the following:
1. Aroma installer stays and installs kernels, modems, and mods
2. ROM size doesn't go up to 2GB when i add in all the themes ect. (Size will always be around 860)
3. Users can change their theme and UI mods on the go without having to reinstall the ROM.
I'm trying to make customization available without having to reinstall the entire ROM. This will give us the best of both worlds.
I'm working on this as we speak so I might dissapear from XDA for a little bit while i stay on my train of thought But in spite of everything...this is going to get a whole lot better.

No on CRT, see back a page or two with a draft of the mods in next release.
The radio's are the different modems you can choose, there have been three releases (updates) and the original that came with the phone. That is what the radios are.
Radio=baseband=modem

Are there any advantages/disadvantages in flashing a different modem to the phone? It seems to be a consensus that LF9 gives better signal, but I'm afraid for the drawbacks.
Downloading .8 now. Very excited.
Clark, I have a small request for .9.
Any chance you can add on my favorite bootanimation from my Samsung Epic days?
It's the third link found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033274
(I'm also a big fan of the blue shutdown animation, but that's not nearly as big of a priority.)
Thanks!
I don't see the video icon when using Google Talk. I used to have it before I flash 0.0.8. Any ideas, I can get it back? Thanks

WELCOME TO THE JEDI ACADEMY!
We're pleased to welcome all Jedi, from Initiate to Master here for questions and answers about the Jedi ROM series. Our goal here is to provide a platform where you can ask questions, seek advice, and gain insight and knowledge about the ROM, especially in the immediate pre- or post- flash time period.
One thing we cannot stress enough - READ THE OP (Original Post) for the ROM you're thinking of flashing completely to familiarize yourself with any changes or issues. The OP is updated (usually in advance) of all new releases, and contains *important* information about the release.
Lastly, style counts as much as substance here. We take great pride in being polite, respectful, and generous in our time and devotion to helping improve the Jedi ROM experience. While we can't guarantee we can respond immediately to all questions, we make every effort for someone to be around to help out should you need it. As the Jedi council grows, you can expect more names from people you can ask directly for more detailed or personalized help.
Below, you will find an FAQ with the most commonly asked questions about the Jedi ROM series. Please be a little patient with us as we grow the list and get it entered. As you all know, typing all of this stuff out takes time, so growing it will take some time.
Now that you've made through all of that, feel free to start looking, and remember that the SEARCH THIS THREAD box to the right of Thread Title is your friend, and can lead you to the necessary answers in many instances. I am working on the fuller FAQ now, and I promise it will grow as we wade through the threads looking for the most common questions!
Thanks for your patience and commitment to the Jedi ROM series!

Q0 HELP!!!! I TRIED TO ROOT AND FLASH THIS ROM AND NOW I CAN'T GET PAST THE SAMSUNG OR ANDROID SCREENS (OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE)
A0 There's an EXCELLENT thread for recovering from a bad flash HERE. (Mad thanks to bigapplevip for the link in the Jedi X5 Thread for posting this!)
Q1 Why won't my 64Gb SD Card work?
A1 The Saber 02 Kernel, used by both the Jedi Master and Jedi X series, does not support xfat formatting. In order for a 64GB card to work, you can either format the card in FAT32, or switch to the Perseus kernel for the phone, which supports exfat.
Q2 Does this have multi-window support and wifi calling?
A2 The Jedi Master ROM has wifi calling enabled, but no multi-window support. The Jedi X Series has multi-window, but no wifi calling.
Q3 My AmeriTrade or Samsung Galaxy Note II User's Digest isn't working.
A3 Uncheck "Force GPU rendering" in "Settings/Developer Options"
Q4 Why can't I find XXMyAppHereXX in the app drawer?
A4 Bloat or anything the Dev sees as extra or not needed by everyone or available on the Market was removed!! See link to GoodyBag in the OP or find in the Market
Q5 With the 5X5 Home Screen, my widgets are all squished-looking!
A5 Remove and re-add the widget, it will self-fix.
Q6 My phone won't sync with Kies via USB!
A6 Jedi Master and Jedi X support Kies via USB. You may find that you lose connectivity to Kies after restoring from Titanium. If this happens, disconnect the phone, run the connection Troubleshooter (which reinstalls the USB drivers and checks them), then reconnect the phone. You should be set after that.
Q7 Can I dirty flash over Version XX with Version XY?
A7 In some cases, yes. But, should you encounter stability issues or the occasional bartender who sees your phone and says "Their kind isn't allowed in here!", then you *may* want to full wipe. As a rule, I myself ALWAYS full wipe, system, flash ROM and any other .zips, wipe caches, boot, drink a root beer, and reboot. I've never, ever had a stability issue with a Jedi ROM. One thing to keep in mind is that you should ALWAYS CLEAN FLASH when a new BASE is used. This information will always appear in the OP for the ROM you're going to flash.
Q8 What does "Dirty Flash" mean?
A8 It means flashing a new ROM straight from the old, without wiping data or system. This leaves your old system data intact, but *can* cause stability issues. The council recommends a full wipe as stated in the OP, but your results may vary.
Q9 I flashed Jedi and now my XXyouapphereXX doesn't work anymore or behaves poorly.
A9 Some apps seem to have issues with new releases. Go Locker appears to have an issue with Jedi X5 (thanks to NeoAndroid for reporting that). If you have an issue, try reinstalling the app. If that doesn't cure your issue, post up, and we'll see what we can find out.
Q10 How do I get the carrier name back on the pull-down on my home screen?
A10 Easy answer - flash a new theme. Otherwise, you'd need to open the apk and change xml, which is NOT advised. NOTE: Themes not EXPRESSLY authored for the 23-toggle WILL NOT WORK.
Q11 How do I change the boot animation?
A11 You'll need root access, and just change the bootanimation.zip in "system/media"
Q12 Help!!! My battery is being eaten alive by this ROM!
A12 Install GSAM Battery Monitor. It's free, and gives us really useful info about what's hitting up your battery. Generally speaking, it's best to give it at least 24 hours and a full charge cycle before getting too excited. Since we all use our phones differently, YMMV.
Q13 Why am I not getting 4G/What happened to the 4G icon/Now I'm only getting 3G, why? etc...
A13 Starting with Jedi X7.2, the Status Bar now shows Correctly what TYPE of network you are connected to. H+ is 4G, H is 3G, and E is 2G GPRS/Edge
Q14 How do I flash a different theme from Aroma?
A14 A dirty flash is all you need to do.
We're VERY proud of of Dev, and his AWESOME releases. One way we show our appreciation is with banners. Please feel free to use any of the below if you use/appreciate/or just think Jedi are cool.

Not sure about the sound, but you can always flash the volumemod.zip from the goody bag and see if that helps. As for the hotspot, what's the trouble you're having with it?
Why are there so many versions of this ROM? I see a few in the Note 2 (T-Mobile) section and would like to try one but not sure which one to get... I'm coming from a long time using the Vibrant, which was a great phone, and I ran only Slim's stuff after trying 7 or 8 different ROMs... I'd like to use Jedi but not really sure which build I'd install. The phone is already rooted and ready to go. The main thing, and I know this is petty, that I am looking at is showing ONLY the battery percentage in text - no icon. I know its silly to ROM for just that but its what I like

There are two flavors -
Jedi Master (Based on T-Mo Stock Firmware) which has wi-fi calling enabled and working. It does not include multi-window. It does have the same tweaks and boosts that ALL Jedi ROMs have.
Jedi X (Based on AT&T LJ1 Firmware) which has multi-window enabled and working, but no wi-fi calling.
I'm not sure about what themes out there support your no battery graphic request, but I'm someone has one. Bear in mind that themes will need to be consistent with the 23-Toggle mod that is cooked in both flavors.
Happy flashing!
Okay lets get this out of the way now. You need to post what release you are on when you report issues. There are many different releases and I cant/wont help you if you dont give me the information I need to help you.
Well simple OP for now.
For those who dont know about this rom yet let me fill you in. This is the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756911 and all the things that work thank them. For everything that is broken well that is most likely my fault. LOL! This rom is a direct port and will only be offered as the original team made it (besides fixes for Sprint). Please do not ask for me to add or change anything.
This rom contains S5 apps and N3 features (air command)!!
Thank you Section
I will fix this up later but for now it will be pretty much empty
Team N3bula for the rom and allowing me to port it.
Please use Philz 6.07.9 recovery...
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900
Flashing Instructions
1. Download rom and verify MD5sum
2. Place rom on phone (if not already)
3. Backup anything you need/want that is in your internal sdcard
3. Backup current rom
4. Factory reset/Format for new rom
5. Under mounts choose format /data /data/media (this is your internal sdcard)
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Flash rom and reboot
The first boot will take a long time so please wait. Also the phone will be a little sluggish for awhile (it has to setup itself).
If you have not taken the 4.3 or 4.4.2 OTA/ODIN and not flashed the wifi fix you will need to do so to be able to use wifi.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358548565 -- this version is not compressed just flash it as is

Mods and Fixes
Here is the systemUI from the Community Rom (S5-look). I have only tested this on beta 2.4 but it should work on all of them. If you are not on 2.4 then it will automatically delete your systemUI.odex file to keep issues from showing up. Note that there is a S5-FEAT-systemui.zip so you can go back to it if you want.

Okay guys here is the meat for your philz recovery. Unzip the this and place in your clockwork folder on your external sdcard. It will work on your internal but if you wipe internal (like you should every flash) you will lose it. Once you place it there boot into recovery and double tap a blank part of the screen.
There is one tiny issue with this. Every so often when changing directories it will kind of hang. Dont worry if you see this just touch the screen and it will work.

I will put this on android file host later.
Just had to share this! This is what why I enjoy doing this (besides the fact I have a cool looking phone).

My current phone is a LG g2 I had the sprint note 2 previous. My note2 was collecting dust and I decided to see what's going on with it on xda as far as roms. I just switched back from LG g2 to the note 2 . The rom you made or ported is mad sick I might sell my LG g2 and I love that phone. Thank you my new daily driver

I've been running 2.3 for a week or so had no problems so far. I guess I should wait for the WiFi fix as I use WiFi most of the time. Thanks for all the hard work porting it and props to the devs who did the original Verizon ROM

Same here. Tried every beta so far. I might try 2.4 with the wifi fix

I have the S5 systemui flashable zip uploaded in Post 3. It has only been tested on 2.4 but I made the script so that if you tried it on the other betas it will remove your systemui.odex file.
Great work JL I am gonna flash this after I get finished playing with the Community ROM Alpha 1. You are relentless man!!!

Two last things I forgot to mention. Again from other versions so I don't know why I didn't say anything.
Has not been as big an issue, but some music lag when screen goes off. Only sometimes.
I'm guessing increasing minimum cpu speed might help, but feel we should not have to.
And I know this is a TouchWiz issue, but what causes the wallpaper to revert to default in most restarts?

Will look into those for you. All of this is on 2.3? Now about wallpaper. Give this a try. With root browser go to system and delete the wallpaper folder. Then make sure you have your wallpaper set and do a few reboots. Hopefully it will help.

Yes. I'm on 2.3, but have noticed a little music lag on lock screen with all betas. Any music player or milk.
Also that most of the time when I pause a song on any music player if I do something else or leave for too long it goes away. If it's still there it's back at the beginning. Not major issues.
I'll give the wallpaper thing a try.
And the only other thing seems to be some weird issue with my phone. No matter what TouchWiz rom I install "stock, beta, s5" I have to manually install video share for group play.
All minor issues. Thank you for all this work.
I'm gonna test the system ui on 2.3 and then possibly try 2.4 and wifi fix.
Have you gotten a chance or had the want to look at those supposed super trimmed/beefed TouchWiz launchers?
Not that it's anywhere near as bad as the Internet likes to claim.

I think I'm on 1.8
Runs well. I didn't see that in the OP.
Has anyone used the WiFi fix on a version besides 2.4 and the successfully used the WiFi fix and then re-flashed 2.4 and kept WiFi?
I noticed he said it was a 2.4 issue and I was gonna try going to 2.3 using the fix and then come back to 2.4 wiping just the caches, but wanted to check if it's been done successfully or not before I go ahead and download it.

Link me to the video share you install and I will include it with the rom. I have not looked and any of the "special" TW launchers. Everything seems to run fine on the stock one so I see no reason to change LOL.

Only 2.4 will show the correct version under settings and what you are seeing is the base rom's info. I am willing to bet you are on 2.3. Only way to tell for sure is by the "issues you have" or by the name of the file you flashed. I am trying to make sure I get that updated on each new release. BTW I am flashing 2.5 now and will let yall know how it goes.

You can try if you want but it will not work. The wifi fix zip in the OP clearly states it wont fix wifi on 2.4. The zip is for those who have not taken the OTA/Odin.

I can't tell if anything changed, but the zip flashed fine.
And wallpaper thing might have worked.

Just a heads up flashing the community systemui just makes it look like the stock ui (without the theme) on the 2.3.
