[ROM][4.4] [need testers!] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

WARNING: I left my phone at my dads house yesterday so I am unable to test this ROM, for all I know, this does not boot!
Only for the brave flashaholic!
Hey guys, I ported cyanogenmod 11 from d2att earlier, but I left my phone at my dads house so I am unable to test it myself.
What should work:
Data
Wifi (I believed I fixed)
Everything else.
What does not work:
I need you to tell me. (I NEED TESTERS!), until tomorrow morning when I can pick up my phone.
Legal stuff.
If you flash this, you are volunteering to be my ROM lab rat. To avoid any potential issues, I advise you all to back up your current ROM.

I'm ready too and just sent you a request.

Apologies for randomly chiming in, nor do I have the intent of taking away from the great effort set forth by yourself. But within Original Android development there is also a source build if any of you are interested after testing his out.

i want to be one of the testers i already sen the request on google drive!!!!!!!!

Wow, thanks for sharing!
I was wondering why you never made a new thread for this ROM. In my opinion, it is worthy for its own thread. I would have never known you made this ROM if you never posted your comment.

I would
I would like to help in your testing please

unable to get it to boot here

According to what I've read you need to be on CWM recovery in order to flash this correctly.

Couldn't get to install at all and even had newest recovery another new rom said needed. Go so going back to the stable rom in my signature once something makes my signature I should leave well enough alone because it is always the best DD.
Good Luck!

[ROM] Alpha2 iml74k (I may have received a leaked alpha of aosp 4.0.3?)

Today I received a warranty replacement phone through tmo. When I went to root it I found two files on the USB storage. Alpha2.zip and sr2gs2.zip
I held my breath and flashed alpha2 through cwm. And to my surprise a vanilla aosp ics rom booted up. i will post the zip when i get home but nothing really works on it. its fast and snappy but no wifi audio or camera
When i tried to flash sr2gs.zip and it overwrites the kernel to a tmo branded one. i cant get it to boot past the kernel though
Heres the info i have. Ill upload the rom later today
Model msm8660_surf
Kernel 2.6.35.11 -dag0.43+
Build number ends with iml74k and contains a name with @themothership

Rom was preloaded with softAP and developer tools
hmm can you maybe upload the t-mobile one ?

Darthstalker ROM -- All things not development related--

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!

I always make backups for any change I flash too but the last phone I rommed was my g1. The vibrant was too much of a pain and there wasn't any good roms with Wi-Fi calling. I know these things are a different beast so I just wanted to make sure. Btw doesn't nand do all of the wiping process for you?

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 would pm Jovy as he would know best, but maybe someone may be able to answer the question for you. I am new to phones also and the S3 is my first smart phone. I too have tried most of the roms, but keep coming back to this one. I do know that most at&t kernels are compatible, I would want to be 100% sure of ROM compatibility before flashing, might end up in a bad way. Thanks for the suggestion about seeing if Jovy would put the link in his OP.

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.
Thanks for creating this thread btw.

[ROM] [PORT] 4.3.0 CM 10.2 for d2spr

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.
Sent from my SPH-L710
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

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

I do not claim to be the expert on anything, especially development issues. If you notice issues, please let me know. And if you have a solution to one of the issues I've found, please, by all means, post it and you'll get the credit. Enjoy
Note: It seems when rebuilding this to fix the issues above, I've lost the "rising orange Bs" boot animation. There's still boot-up sound, and the blue Samsung animation, but no Boost-specific. If you want it, you can get it from the previous build If I get time, I'll add it back in manually, but frankly, I like not having it there, it seems to boot a little faster

A little confused.
Is this for Boost or Sprint? Will Sprint users see Boost logos and such? Or is this for people who are trying to use a Boost phone on Sprint service or vice versa?

It's for the Boost Mobile Galaxy s3. Boost has their own variant of the s3 like other carriers now.

Notorious is correct. It's for the Boost variant of the S3. And to answer your second question, yes, it will flash Boost logo, mmsc url, etc.

Glad I asked.
I'd guess that it wouldn't work well on my Sprint phone.

Actually, it'll work just fine. It'll just have Boost signature and mmsc url. Just like Boost and VM users have to change mmsc url, you would have to as well, I think. I say that, because if you check mmsc urlv on this rom, it actually reads "not set." I would be interested to see if mms would send and receive on other carriers with it saying "not set."

Quick ? JD, does my Sprint S3 will have to be on the same MD7(since it was base on that one) or can it be on a different one...i.e newer/older version.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're referring to your modem, then no, it doesn't have to be MD7. This is a Boost build, so you may have to change your mmsc url to get mms

This will not install a modem and should not wipe your device.

So I will not lose any apps or anything if of course I don't do a total wipe I mean?
I did a nandroid just encase but wondered if it would just do the "android is updating" after installing thus all apps would be untouched.
I flashed it once I had some time it kept nagging about wanting to upgrade and was very laggy and slow compared to blazer I was running not ready to be a daily for me at least not till I have some time to remove all the bloat.

Hmmm, that's the first I've heard of that. This rom is completely stock, but yes, not debloated. I just installed es file explorer and deleted all the crap it comes with. And for the other poster, this will not wipe everything if you do a dirty flash. And I'm using it as my dd with zero issues.

Glad to hear it. I have the MG2 tar as well. Anyone interested in a deodex/debloat of that? And silver, how's the build working for you?

Over 300 downloads, thanks everyone! I haven't heard any feedback, so I'm assuming it is working ok. Let me know!
I'm wondering is this ROM a daily driver or are there any kinks that anyone can report on.

CM KitKat version 1114

Woo hoo! I can't post directly to the Devs but holy **** this is working so great I can't get enough.
Few things I had might help others....Always factory reset and wipe before loading...My SD Card issue was fixed with the new build (although I formatted it anyway) and I have superb battery life and updated Google search to latest version.
Launcher is super cool as well. Thanks to the CM team and all your hard work! I love it. Shout out to my new friend Jamison904 for his work on my other favorite ROMs too.
Any other issues I can help with if your up for trying KitKat let me know. #brokemeoffapieceofthatKitKatRom

Really? The other CM11 thread specificaly made for non development related stuff abou the ROM wasn't okay?

The initial release was a problem but I have been running all day today and besides a few WiFi hiccups I've been smooth as silk! Its fast, and super streamlined. I love it.

The only thing that would make it better is galaxy gear support.

You know what would be even better than that? Talking about it in the existing CM11 thread.
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.
I agree
It is already being discussed.
