[Q] Flashing of any JB ROM fails

Hey wonderful people of XDA,
I picked up an S3 yesterday and rooted it no problem. I can install ICS roms fine, but CWM errors out when trying to flash a JB rom (I have included a pic to show exactly what I mean)
It is a Telus S3, but from what I've experienced before with rooting, AT&T should work as well. However, correct me if I am wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Read that. It talks about error 7, although they said they fixed it. The first time I tried to flash AOKP that happened and I just rewiped everything and tried again and it worked.

Thank you! I'll check it out

I had same problem I just updates to 5.8.4.7 and it worked fine, make sure to fully wipe

1.) Download and install Samsung Kies
2.) Plug your phone in.
3.) If you are on stock, Kies will notify you that you have an update available.
4.) Happy Flashing.

Please discuss the receiving of JB in the sticky thread
Thanks

[Mod]Full Screen Caller I.D

**Disclaimer - This is not my work. Just sharing it because I tested it on my T889 and it worked**
*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK**
-> You Can Find The Original Thread Here <-]
So I was just browsing through other Note 2 Forums and stumbled on this mod. I was bored so I figured.... ahh what the heck.
So I...
•Downloaded the zip (found in the linked OP)
•Created A Nandroid Backup (recommended but you can do as you wish)
•Flashed the zip via recovery (I'm using TWRP)
•Wiped Dalvik-Cache and Cache
•Reboot
Not sure if this was necessary but I did the following anyway...
•>Application Manager>com.sec.phone and cleared cache
•>Application Manager>Phone.apk and cleared cache
Used my daughters phone to test. Didn't work. I looked at the pic I had set for her. It was a crappy resolution.
So I picked one of the new pics I took of her. Boom! Full Screen Caller I.D
If it makes any difference I'm using 4.3 DN3 Rom (Ditto Note 3 Rom) from the ATT Roms Section.

I cropped the top part of the screenshot to remove her name and number.

Thanks I was tired of using a app for full screen. Question: you say you are running "Ditto Note 3 Rom for at&t. I am wondering did you lose any features with the rom since it was not designed to work with the t-mobile version?

Play Store disguise request.

I have a galaxy s3 rooted with cm11 and cm cwm based recovery and I want to download magic 2014 directly from the play store yet I will not let me install it and I know it is compatible. Is there a way I can disguise my device from the play store as another so I can download it?

Change the build.prop. "d2spr" is the identifier for the S3 , there are three instances that you have to change. Change them all to "klte".

I have d2lte mine is a newer s3 and d2spr does not work. And all of the ones I changed did not allow me to download. Can you label the lines to see if I have changed all that are needed?

There are three. If you changed three then you changed them all. Go into Application Manager, then All, then Google Play Store, then wipe data and try downloading again.

by newer s3 do you mean the "T" model?

I mean LTE

I am just going to post my build.prop.

the D2LTE is literally all US s3's cause all of them have LTE and it was easier to develop for them as a unified branch as apposed to the D2SPR or D2BST/D2VMU, D2VZW the list goes on and what will work fro you phone is to see what Carrier you have ie Sprint/Boost or what ever it may be....but if only D2LTE works for your S3 then.....i have no idea but as ryan said change what's in your Build Prop

I have and it is refusing to work.

Did you reboot? Wipe Play Store data?
My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience

This is the reason I no longer develop for AOSP, the simplest stuff just doesn't work and other devs don't take the time to do bug fixes because they are doing multiple devices that they don't even have. Sorry for the rant.

It's alright

ROMs with S-Pen gimmicks?

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for custom ROMs that have all the dumb little S-Pen gimmicks. Or would I be better off just re-flashing stock? SM-N975F

I stay stock and no higher than Android 10.
Once you have firmware that runs well and is stable... leave it be.

Thanks! I was thinking of going this route anyways. Tried 12 on it, not a huge fan. :/ Where do you get your stock ROMs from?

It just what was loaded on the phone when bought. One is Android 9, the newest N10+ is running on 10. Both are running well so I leave the firmware be.

Ahh, okay! I've already tried a couple different ROMs, and didn't make a backup before lol.

Lol, I know it sounds so boring. Not like I loaded 20 different roms until I found the perfect one
The current load on this phone will be 2 yo in June with minimal maintenance. No malware breaches in that time span.
However it's setup is optimized and workarounds for any problems have been found.
I use a package disabler, Karma Firewall, Brave browser and this DNS setting.
