Oh okay cool, no problem. On mine green is menu and blue is home

nice work, but it is advisable to have a credits section in the op...ie trailblazer for his mods (i know u mention them) who did power options etc

Nice work. Running with 0 problems and loving how debloated it is.

Thanks for the heads up, added them next to the list items

I've gotten a couple PM's that people love the ROM, and I plan on making a EC07-Nuckin-2 package.
My thoughts thus far:
New Kernel (imnuts)
Scribble boot animation
Zeam Launcher to replace TouchWiz (Zeam is super memory efficient)
Dolphin Mini to replace Browser
Better instructions, including a TAR to use with Odin
Link to alternate framework-res.apk (trailblazer's) to restore the buttons
What do you think would make this ROM cooler/faster/awesome...er?

Any eta for the new ROM I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and flash the first one or wait for 2

Flash the first, I honestly haven't started #2 because of midterms n' such. Not to mention the first works so well it's hard to give myself a reason to reflash lol

Thanks buddy sounds great and thanks for all the hard work

I flashed this rom a few days ago, and so far it is great. I love how clean and fast it is.
The only problems I have had are some issues it apps FCing. I use these apps daily and was wondering if anybody has had any luck fixing FC problems? I would hate to do it, but if I can't get these apps working right I might have to reflash DL17 again.
Here are some of the apps I have come across so far that FC every time:
-Wells Fargo Mobile
-Stock Android Browser
-Movies
I am sure there are other, but these are the only ones that I have found so far that I use on a regular basis. If anybody has any insight on this it would be great.

I had the same problem with Browser, I just switched to Dolphin Mini HD but I understand you can't really do that with the other 2 apps you listed. Is it just my ROM you've had this issue with or all EC03 and EC07 ROMs?

I've had the same issue. It's been with all versions of ec07 though. some ec03 as well (if memory serves me correctly) I swapped to dolphin browser and haven't had any trouble.

Can I assume you wiped dalvik on install? If so, I'd start by clearing data on each of the affected apps in settings/applications/manage applications. And if that fails, try deleting the apps themselves, along with any data stored on SD card and reinstall fresh. Generally fc issues are due to the way the app interacts with the system.

Yeah, the browser is not that big of a deal, I switched to Opera and like it alot better than stock anyway. I ran the clean EC07 first before I switched to your rom, but I only had it on for a couple of hours so I don't know if that one had the FC issues as well. I don't think there is enough difference between the two to cause these issues. Yours is just more debloated.

Yes, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and did factory reset/wipe data before I installed the rom, then wiped the caches again after just to be sure. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling all the apps I was having problems with. I will try clearing the app data and removing data from SD card tonight and let yall know if anything changes.
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
Ok, tried clearing data, uninstalling, wiping SD card, and reinstalling apps. Didn't work, they are all three still FCing. I think it has something to do with them accessing network/data. Browser doesn't FC until I try to load a page, Wells Fargo doesn't FC until I try to log in, and Flixter movies FCs as soon as I open it. All thee times they are trying to use network. Doesn't matter if I am on 3G for Wifi.
Just a thought, I don't know if that actually has anything to do with it.

One more thought, is it possible to have your phone hooked up to ADB in usb debugging while running an app to see why it is getting a force close?

I'm pretty sure you can use the command logcat for that

Yes. As circa said, logcat
Commands are as follows
Adb shell
(it will start daemon. Once that is done, you will get a hashtag)
Logcat
(wait for it to scroll, then after it settles down, start the affected app)

Google Now working on T Mobile GS3

Full credit goes to author of the below thread. Got Google Now working 99% on my stock rooted Tmobile GS3. What is the 1% not working? Once you launch the app if you dont perform any search, back button does not exit the app. So need to close it from task manager. Also sometimes after you enter the search text, enter key does not initaite the search, so hit menu -> refresh. Other than that the cards, talk back, quick and accurate response, voice search etc works just fine.

Try to reinstall it beacuse on my device I am able to exit Google Now with the back button. I am rooted running FreeGSM R5, Faux Kernel and High Def In Color theme.

i'm guessing we're ARMv7? and which of the 5 apk's did you use?

y sir, atleast with me it did.

Do the cards take a while to show up because I've had it installed for a few hours but still don't get the weather card. I'm using the mikey m6. Everything else works.
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted

Stupid question but have you asked for the weather ? Because that was the first thing I asked and started getting cards. Also when in the app hit menu and go into settings I beleive that there are more options.

I have been using it for the last 2 days and it's such a gimmick. It doesn't give me the cards that I am expecting and need and most of the time I do a voice search instead of a card I get thrown to Google even tho I have a card set up for let's say my favorite sport team. Kind of wack.

How do I remove it? Google Now is one of those products that's probably gonna follow Google listen etc after a few years...

See u guys are getting the wrong impression of google now it does not work right with stock roms and has a phony voice. It was awesome on my gnex and was super quick and cards showed up when i needed. It finally is working great on cm 10 ....p.s. the inverted google now looks sick

Google Now will keep me from flashing to JB if the only thing that I can do with the double tap home function brings up Voice Dialer instead of Voice Search. Only fix is deleting the entire Google Search apk, which nullifies any benefit Google Now brought to the table. Sad, I actually liked the app...

Anyone having issues?
Hey guys. I was able to put Google now on my rooted SGH-T999 and it works wonderfully. I'm running CM9 and I can't wait to see what this can do. I was experiencing one issue though. Sometimes, after I search, I will click on one of the websites it shows me and the link won't open. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or any other issues with Google Now? Thanks guys!

The only issue i have is that if your launch Google now and don't search anything, pressing the back button won't exit the app. Need to use menu > refresh. Not a big annoyance since most times the app is used to search something. I wish location services would work just using gps, but you need to enable cellular triangulation too for that. I feel like triangulation will drain battery unnecessarily.

They have fixed that issue, I am using reekotub's v3 of Google now, and it works almost perfectly. They have also made a fix where voice search can be mapped to double tapping the home key!

[ROM][JB]UNOFFICIAL Codename Android 3.3.1-- questions

I can't ask in the dev forum and I don't see a General thread for this ROM. Since this seems to be the best JB rom for our phone, we probably need to have a place to discuss things outside of the Dev thread. Anyway, I have some specific things I want to ask about...
1. Lock Screen question -- Is there a way to add actions like the unlock or mute? I wanted to put the unlock in a different spot but don't know what Slider shortcut to use. I have tried looking through both the Activities and the Nova Activities. I just don't see how to do either of those two. Anyone know, short of installing another app or lock screen?
2. GMail double notification -- I may have done something wrong, but I can't find it right now. When I get a GMail email, I get two notifications. They are both the GMail symbol. And the notification drawer shows two items, one with a big chunk of the preview and one with the subject and "Important". I suspect I did something in GMail to cause this and it isn't ROM specific.
3. Pandora doesn't seem to work. I think I saw in the Dev thread mention of people having issues too. I only ever use it at work where I only have 3G, so I haven't tested on WiFi. What is irritating is that on my last ICS ROM I was running I had this issue solved by uninstalling it, rebooting and clearing caches, and reinstalling. I have tried that and fixing permissions. All in multiple orders and combinations, no luck.
Other than those three things and the standard 4G/FFC known issues, this is a great ROM. Thank you Mazda.

#1 issue.........this will come in the next update, stay tuned and it will come
#2 issue.........Try to uninstall gmail and install it again, I use gmail most then anything and I've yet to get this issue
#3 issue.........What exactly is the issue with Pandora?? If is a FC or something, could you pull a logcat and post it on pastebin and then provide me with the link?
Thanks and look forward to improving the ROM and making it great!

Great, thanks for the response.
#1, yea, it will work the way it is, I just thought the existing actions would do it and I just missed which one.
#2, thanks for that idea, don't know why I didn't think of reinstall, I guess I had it in my mind that Gmail is part of OS, not really a specific app. I just did it and will test. I am sure that will fix it since I think I did something obscure.
#3, Pandora acts like it is all working, I have logged in and have my playlists but when I select something is just doesn't play the music, sits on a song for some time (maybe buffering but not always) and then moves to the next song and tries to play that one but never does, then next song. Never playing music...
Thanks again for both responding and for the work on the ROM.

Just a thought on #2, but go in to your account settings and make sure you don't have notification settings for more than one inbox (ex. Inbox and Priority Inbox). I've had this happen in the past. Just change your account settings.

Sorry, I should have posted again. Reinstalling worked for me. But I think you are right in your suspecision, I think I might have had that Priority Inbox checked. Reinstalling resulted to starting over with configuring it though. I think it all started going downhill when I didn't have the sync set right, so I wasn't getting notified due to the sync not running, then start checking everything. Thanks.
Now the only mystery I have left is Pandora...

Not sure what the deal might be with Pandora. I've used it on and off in the past with mixed success. It might be worth seeing if it works with a different ROM. That might narrow down where the issue is, at least.

[Samsung Galaxy S3] With [Lollipop 5.1] [Custom ROM] Info, Help, And Troubleshooting

This thread is for...​
• Helping you to understand why you would want to upgrade your Samsung Galaxy S3 to a 5.1 ROM.
• Helping to address any concerns prior to this upgrade.
• Helping you to accomplish this upgrade.
• Helping you to troubleshoot and fix any issues after this upgrade.
• Talking about custom kernels, mods, tweaks, custom recoveries, apps, privacy, etc. for the Galaxy S3 running a 5.1 ROM.
• Talking about anything else similar to the above that pertains to the GS3 with a 5.1 ROM.​
Why Would I Want To Upgrade My GS3?​
**** Your Galaxy S3 is an amazing machine for how old it is. However support and customization is limited now that there are "better" phones available. Waiting for updates from android can be frustrating. Some newer software may not work for you. Bugs can get on your last nerve. Everyone else seems to have a cooler phone.
**** By upgrading your phone you can unlock its full potential safely without losing important data stored on the phone. Customization, performance, compatibility, and privacy will improve and can get close to or even surpass some of the brand new devices coming out today! My GS3 outperforms my sisters GS6 in many ways!
**** If you decide to make the change you will feel like you have a brand new phone and forget about upgrading anytime soon! Newer models are removing sd card access, removable batteries, privacy measures that protect you, etc. This phone is a beast if you give it a little TLC! If in the end you prefer the older way you can restore your phone to the exact moment before you upgraded and everything will be the same, no harm done! I am assuming you are rooted already, although this may not be necessary if you are flashing a ROM that is pre-rooted like Cyanogenmod.
Issues That I Have Experienced To Be Aware Of Before Upgrading. Most Of These Are Fixed In Recent Builds, But I'm Including The Solutions That Worked For Me Anyway.​
• Issue: Blackscreen during phone calls
Fix: For me I used xposed app proximity off. Other solutions can cause high cpu usage due to general, sloppy developing
• Issue: No 4g or mms
Fix: For me i used cm12 ting apn zip
Better fix: use apn backup app prior to upgrade and save settings so you can reapply them on new ROM.
• Issue: Battery drain
Fix: For me I recalibrated my battery and used* Xprivacy and Greenify apps along with built in privacy guard advanced settings to double my battery life
• Issue: No sound when using free phone apps
Fix: For me i had to edit my build.prop real quickly and changed mic from digital to analog. Consult with a professional before editing your build.prop
• Issue: Root access denied
Fix: For me I had to enable developer settings and enable root access there
• Issue: App not opening
Fix: For me I had to boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot.
• Issue: No Google apps or playstore
Fix: For me i had to flash gapps after update.
• Issue: Stuck in boot
Fix: For me i had to pull battery and hold power button down for 30sec. Then using button combination reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot.
Things To Do Before Upgrading To Be Safe​
~ Research ROMS and select one that is for your device model# specifically (ex: sprint s3 is different from verizon s3). If unsure just ask!
~ Make sure your battery is fully charged.
~ This guide is for the sprint variant. Other variants may have locked bootloaders and if so this could brick your device without first unlocking.
~ Install custom recovery (I recommend TWRP. CWM has known problems with our device, so please don't use it if you care about your device).
~ Create a TWRP backup (also called nandroid backup) and put on sd card.
~ Backup your texts to sd card using app called Sms backup and restore.
~ Backup music, pics, vids, downloads, contacts, calendar, etc. to sd card.
~ Backup apps to sd card using Titanium Backup App. Although it will be better to re-download them after upgrading.
~ Email yourself links to your bookmarks in browser.
~ Screenshot anything that you cant figure out how to save.
~ Look at each app in your list of app and think "is there any data in this app that I don't want to lose?"
~ Backup anything else not mentioned above that you care about to sd card.
~ Download ROM zip and gapps zip to sd card.
How To Accomplish This Upgrade​
~ If there is anything you don't understand yet, please ask now!
~ Do everything listed under "Things To Do Before Upgrading To Be Safe".
~ Verify in file manager that your nandroid backup, all important data, and all zips needed for upgrade are on your sd card not internal storage.
~ Make sure your battery is fully charged.
~ Boot to custom recovery (Please use TWRP!)
~ Pull out sd card so that you don't accidentally erase it.
~ Select wipe-advanced wipe-and check the boxes for dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache.
~ Reinsert sd card.
~ Select install-micro sd card (touch where it says, "storage: internal storage" and switch to micro sd card)
~ Find and select new 5.1 ROM zip and Gapps zip on sd card.
~ Flash them and reboot to system.
~ Allow about 15min reboot.
~ Go through initial setup of ROM to get to home screen.
~ Let it sit on home screen for about 10 more minutes to allow background processes to update.
~ Get ready to show off your phone because it will be amazing!
Give it time to reboot and dont interrupt the process it typically takes 15 min total. If you are stuck at boot image still then pull the battery out, and hold down power button for 30 seconds. Then replace battery and reboot directly to recovery by holding down power, volume up, and home. When it flashes logo and in top left corner you see blue writing, then let go of power button and continue to hold volume up and home until you see the recovery screen. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. If this does not work, then all you need to do is boot to recovery again using hardbutton combo like above, and restore your nandroid backup from sd card. If you brick your device by making a mistake somehow in all of this, and you forgot to nandroid, then you need to search for the debrick image for your specific device to start over, or use odin to flash back to stock, but it will come back to life dont worry.
Btw I am running cm12.1 nightly with Dkp kernel, Lspeed mod, Xposed 5.1, and carrier is Ting.
Ask me if you are interested in help to finely tune battery, performance, and privacy after installing your 5.1 ROM.​

I tried everything online and thats the only one that worked for me! And yes its extremely hard to find lol! Hope it helps you as much as it did me.
After wipes I flashed rom and then gapps and then this, then reboot and leave alone for 10 min. Then go to recovery again and flash rom and gapps and reboot (no wipes this time and no apn zip). Any other questions let me know.

I'm pretty sure this is just Google App attempting to open the mic for voice search, which was denied since you have it set to ignore (you must use the search app a lot, and/or Google Now). You don't use voice search, so it doesn't impact you. But voice search won't work with that permission set to ignore.
I could be wrong, but the clandestine recording and transmission of audio files would cause a battery and data hit that would be noticed at some point. Besides, they're already using whatever we type (or speak) into search and Gmail for ad targeting and that's the deal we make for using their "free" services.

They are attempting to open mic but why when i dont ever hit voice search? I know it wont work thats why i set to ignore. U are right that we agree to them using info for using apps for free. U make good points but ultimately u r taking their word for it that we should trust them. I will hunt down some documents tonight to show u some problems and bugs with google in the past. This has been noticed by other people. For example there have been "bugs" when after using google voice it stays on. Heres an article from forbes that is related too but they are not even talking about many problems

In fact when google started this about 10 years or so ago we were not giving permission and they had to stop and fix legal scripts before continuing. Lots of articles from back in those days whem i first started knowing about this seem to have "disappeared" from the internet. Im sure google had a part in that because it was bad advertising. I know someone who listens to similar recordings made by a popular app as a full time job and transcribes them to text for their "marketing purposes". Of course we are agreeing to the fine print but i dont think we really realize who they are sharing that info with, and that its okay for them to listen when app malfunctions, background voices are transcribed too, etc. I know i sound crazy but there is much proof of untrusted individuals accessing legit data and using as they want. Look at all Edward Snowdens revelations so far and more are coming. I just cant trust all these companies that cooperate with govt info requests. Even encryption as we know it is a lie and not random. I got crazy day but would love to talk more on this tonight if u want

They are attempting to open mic but why when i dont ever hit voice search? I know it wont work thats why i set to ignore. U are right that we agree to them using info for using apps for free. U make good points but ultimately u r taking their word for it that we should trust them. I will hunt down some documents tonight to show u some problems and bugs with google in the past.

I'm not saying it's not possible, or that I trust Google. And, to be sure, there are plenty of vulnerabilities and exploits out there, as in the examples you mentioned. But I don't think the specific issue you have with Google app is an attempt by Google to spy on you. You say you don't hit voice search, but do you hit search at all? Also, if you have a launcher that has "OK Google" functionality (I don't), that might cause it, too. My phone (SPH-L710, Exodus, dkp) indicates that that Record Audio was triggered 114 times by Google app, which I estimate to be about the number of times I've hit search, and I hit search again and the number increased by one. Now, if you don't use search or have any "OK Google" functionality, then your Record Audio number is curious.

I will look into that thanks for info. I know i accidently hit google search maybe 5 to 10 times a day but it still seems high. Dont really care since its blocking it anyway but i will try other browser and see if that helps. Just dont know why its trying to use voice on regular searches still seems wrong. I know its nothing personal to spy on me alone. They are probably fairly spying on everyone lol! Nice to see a fellow DKP user!

I actually did. I've been busy actually using it so I apologize for not getting back here to update on it. I did have to do pretty much what you advised, with a new flash, new gapps, reboot. flash rom, flash gapps, flash apn, reboot. open apn settings and verify info. At least something close to that.
Thanks for the information, really appreciated. I am running it on liquidsmooth 4.4.4. at this time. I had other issues with 5.1 stuff. Also using BMS kernel.

Honestly i have not tried yet. Im just using built in audiofx. But i heard viper was better. I would be happy to mess around with it though and let you know what i found if you would like me to. Im under the impression that many people are having problems with it right now with cm12.1. Have you tried? Any problems? if so do you have full busybox, selinux permissive, and switch compatibility mode in viper settings? let me know if you want me to try and report back to you. Thanks for participating in the thread, when i get more thanks will give you a :good:

Haven't had time to mess around with it yet. I'm actually on AICP 10.0, which is based on CM 12.1. I think it's only officially supported for Android 5.0.2, but if you would give it a shot, that'd be great!

Thank you.
Got it up and running. Needed to make a few changes (enabling certain apps with Package Disable Pro), but other than that it seems snappy. Will have to see how some of the extras work before I can form a solid opinion.

Does wifi calling and volte (HD voice) still work with the official Tmobile nougat release?

Just works from stock?
What type of ROM Controls are there
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app

what is this exactly, is this just to add a feature to my stock nougat. I dont want to damage my phone

So do you have to use both the pc and phone or was the directions trying to say you could choose the method?

No replies here folks.... Somebody is going to have to step up and do the mod and report back for us on tmobile. We need a volunteer.

I linked the original thread I just posted it here because it works on our devices also. Instead of trying to be ungrateful maybe take a moment and read. My directions are correct, and very understandable to anyone who knows how to read and most importantly follow directions as stated.

Guess I don't know how to read. Thanks for posting this though.

Actually your directions are not that easy to read or understand.
The OP states a list of steps to take "from PC" and none of those steps other than running the bat files are done from your PC. They are all things don't from phone.

They are clear to those actually looking to use it Instead of just looking to argue a useless point the first person to try it got it and so did a few others. As I stated I quoted the original post so anything you are not clear on then you ask there. This is only to let us tmobile users know it works. Now I will go back to life outside of XDA and leave you to argue with yourself.
Question did it work for you? Did you try? Do you already understand adb? If yes to any above then you should be able to follow directions

????some needs a cookie and attention. You go girl??????????

If you guys are having trouble getting it to work you could always just install nova launcher and make it pretty much identical if not better than the original pixel launcher. Or else there is another app called nougat UI for Android that looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

**** guuurl, err body likes cookies! But I'm not in any dire need of attention. I just don't like it when someone make unnecessarily rude comments to a new member to XDA is looking for some help...
If you start a thread, even when you're just giving a link to more info people will ask questions. I've been there, started a few compilation threads over the past decade on XDA and it never fails... people hope that since you compiled the list you have the info... Not to mention it is a Verizon mod and tmobile people will have different questions. But you enjoy being an ass... I'm gonna run to Fred Meyers and grab some cookies.

I would reflash without wiping anything first. If it is only the launcher FC, a reflash without wiping might fix what ever went sideways during the initial install.

I've had trouble with Pixel launcher as well. No problems during the beta, but after "official" it mysteriously stopped working.

Working awesome here! Nice and smooth!
I found the easiest way to install this through adb is, make sure you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer, DL the play store mod file, extract it and all you have to do is CLICK on the play store rom.bat and it automatically opens the command window and the directions on there will guide you through the process.
MAKE SURE your home screen grid on the TouchWiz launcher is set to 5 x 5 as that is the default grid on the Pixel launcher. If it is set different on the TW launcher it messes with the Pixel launcher viewing. It offsets the app icon grid and makes icon s look crooked on the screen and widgets are all out of place also.
