I am a longtime android user, own all nexus devices, etc.
My brother is thinking about making the jump from iPhone to an sgs3, should he stay on touchwiz or should I help him get a stable ROM on there? Maybe AOKP jellybean?
Suggestions and opinions/experiences appreciated.
I'd say stock for a bit then later aokp. Let him get a taste of both worlds...

Agree. Flashing a frequently updated ROM might be a bit much for an iPhone user, and touchwiz is friendly enough!
I'd say stock w/ either Apex/Nova launcher
I say let him run stock, maybe if he wants a luncher on top of it, but if coming from iOS I would let him run TW fully there are some really cool features in TW that he will enjoy so much .
I say run stock for a few months, or until he is throughly annoyed by touch wiz. Then start flashing. Let him get used to how Android works, the menus, eyv before throwing custom stuff at him. If he doesn't know how it's SUPPOSED to work, he won't know when it DOESN'T work on a custom.
Personal opinion but no god awful touchwiz...and with the USSD bug goin around even more reason for me to never ever reccommend anyone use it
You say you have all the Nexus devices, so I'm assuming that means the Galaxy Nexus? How about letting him use your Nexus and you get an S3? That way he can get used to pure Android without having to root.

There is no bug, Samsung fixed it long before it was made public and current versions of the stock firmware don't have it

That depends whether he uses Wi-Fi or not. If he does then AOSP/AOKP ROM's will not work for him.

Not that it completely does not work. It works for awhile. And then disconnects.

Go into advance settings for WiFi on aosp/aokp and uncheck the box for don't use weak signal. Problem solved.

Tried both settings many times. Never helped. On Ariel 2.7 (and I suspect on the latest OTA as well) WiFi just works and never drops.
Aren't alot of features that come on the GSIII tied into TW? I haven't switched to AOKP on this phone but ran it on my GSII. There are things you have to give up by going AOKP or CM.

Like crap battery life, 26 hrs plus on AOKP. Lol. There are TW features that are missing (certain camera features come to mind). But to the point of the OP, if you haven't used TW much, you won't miss them. Yes, AOKP/CM10 are updated frequently, but you don't have to update unless you want to. If the build you are on is stable, battery life is great and you're happy, don't update. I flash every update, my wife is on an early August build. For a person new to the S3, I would stay stock for a month (30 day return policy). If they're happy, leave it alone. If the battery sucks, root it, load Titanium Backup, and kill all the S-crap and carrier bloat. It should be a learning process, done in steps. Android is fun and there are so many options, which (to me) is why it is better than IOS. Too many people rush into custom ROM's without acquiring the basic knowledge of how Android works.

I recently been getting texts that appear to be from t-mobile saying that I have used 400 of the 500 mb hotspot on my data plan. The problem is I have done zero tethering what so ever. I first started seeing this text after using the android app XBMC on my phone to stream a few movies. It seems as if the phone is seeing this app as another device using the connection but its all on the same device. I am just trying to see if anyone else has experience this. I notice I do not get the texts if I use the vpn the whole time. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
I don't understand the question.
Use the vpn to hide traffic
Tmobile is probably seeing the desktop user agent and is thinking that you are tethering.

I've had 2 similar problems. A week after I got the phone it started using all data as hotspot data. A factory reset fixed it.
A couple of weeks ago my Loader Droid app on my phone started using hotspot data. I cleared data and cache on the app and that fixed that problem.
factory reset will fix it, better hurry, the tmo mobile police will be at your door, as soon as you hit 1gig data. Always when you lay the phone down, make sure it is camera down. And place napkin over it, so they can't see who you are.
be prepared.
Sorry all, I could not resist...how many times have I told you Ax, don't get involved..but..no Ax.

had a guy in THIS forum say, why search, if you post the question in threads in all forums, he would not have to look for the answer. And he did it to, in 3 forums, same question. He said he was to busy to search. I will remember it. That's for sure.
why dont you just use wifi tether for root users it works perfect

He should be careful flashing - zip only no ODIN. I dirty flashed Omega and flashed ktoonsez TW kernel and it booted up and worked fine. However, the AppstoSD function did not really work - it did not actually move them to the SD.

Hey were you able to fix this and use the hotspot with a problem? If you did please let me know thanks
This is a question to all devs who understand the underlying system far better than I. I have a T-Mobile Note 3 and am interested in moving to CM but where I live the signal is not great at all so I MUST use Wifi calling and MMS. now is the mechanism a module that can be moved to another rom or is this something baked into the samsung based rom itself?
If I can move to another type of non samsung rom and take wifi calling with me how can this be done or is it a feature that will have to be added to source and recompile?
Thanks so much everyone maybe if there is no way to do it now maybe we as a community can find a way to do this and bring it to other devices that do not have this type of feature.
I am not aware of anyone getting T-Mobile wifi calling working on an aosp ROM. It requires very deep integration into the system. It's not just an app, though it probably could be if they cared to write it properly.
If I had a need for it, I'd use csipsimple and voip.ms or callcentric. I believe the AOSP dialer app supports sip calling as well.
I've been tmobile for years with many phones and have never heard anyone porting it. Make that happen and lots of donations would come at ya like a stripper getting rain'd on

Thank you for asking this question. I was wondering the exact same thing because I just flipped to a CM based 4.4.2 ROM last night and the dev said WiFi calling was specific to Samsung ROMs, which didn't make any sense to me.
Does/would WiFi calling have a completely different script in AOSP versus TW?
All I know is I would definitely be in the group that 'makes it rain' for a dev that implements the feature into an AOSP ROM for the Note 3.

This would make things so much easier. but another thing is that i'm thinking that they are now using a different protocol because i've seen another dev using that IMS stack in the note 2 forums [EDITED to add info on other developer]

Well since it is baked into the samsung roms it would mean that it would have to be reverse engineered. no one seems to want to take the time to do it or they can't figure it out and from what i know they would be able to get about 60k from various device forums.

Alternate method to enter recovery?
Does anyone know of a way to enter recovery other than with using the power button? Is there a way to do it through ODIN?
I installed ICS Stock ROM, but I need to be able to enter recovery to do a factory reset.
My power button is broken. I can get into download mode (pressing volume up, volume down, and then inserting usb cable).
If the phone is off, I can also get the phone to power on (by inserting power cord, feeling vibrate, and then quickly removing power cord).
But I can't get into recovery. If anyone has any creative methods, that'd be awesome!
I'm saying goodbye, as well.
After installing ROM after ROM, I never found any that "just worked". Anything 4.4-based had all kinds of busted stuff (1080p video, Netflix, etc). 4.3 had camera/gallery issues. Even with 4.1 and 4.2 (including 4.1 stock), they still seem to suffer from "vbus_present" issues forcing me to reboot any time I unplug the device.
The device froze up on me and corrupted too many photos. I tried asking the community what the "best" ROM was, and mods closed the thread.
I wanted the T989 as a tool. Not something I had to babysit.
Maybe I'll get a Moto G or whatever Motorola's new phone is.

The way I see it....ROMs made of 4.2.2 and higher may have their odd glitches... But that just life bringing android versions to phones who's official support ended. Its either accept the odd problem, or stick with last official update. In this case touch wiz 4.1.2. Which is pretty much perfect.
Flashing custom ROMs comes with the odd glitch, no matter the phone. That's just how it is.
Stock is for those that can't accept the odd issue.
Good luck with your next phone!! The moto g is nice, for its price for sure!!!

A point I should have made.....the devs work hard and for free and for fun....and share with us lucky members.
They do their best with what they have to work with....especially on android versions not even created for our device.
They deserve our respect and thanks. If what's available disappoints anyone....they should keep it to themselves or choose their words wisely.
Without the devs.... We'd have nothing at all. Especially when Google stops giving us official updates.
Be grateful.
Still loving my Herc. Carbon rom with SaberMod Uber kernel and I have no complaints...

Current T989 kitkat bugs piss me off, lol. They seem to be putting finishing touches on it, then all of a sudden they make a bigger change that opens a whole new can of worms.
My power button got stuck several months ago, so I actually opened the phone up and removed the entire thing. To turn my phone on, I plug it in with a usb chord and hold volume up/down until I enter download mode, then I cancel it.
I use an app called Quick Boot to reboot, enter recovery and so on.
Also, I kind of agree with you guys. Sure, the latest 4.4 ROMs are a little buggy, but I've found 4.3 roms to be perfect, in terms of stability.
Got my T989 last november from a friend, second android device I had but the first to get serious with. Also tried to check for newer devices like that LG G2 but the chance for me to get a new one is far less than you can do.

I lucked out. I complained enough to tmobile about the screen blobs and lines from the amoled displays that they kept sending me as refurbs, wrote the CEO an email, then they called and agreed to send me a GS3 LTE, and let me keep my s2, so I immediately sold both phones and got the g2 new.

Please note that i have installed apps to reset, restore, reconfigure the GPS but nothing seems to work. Tried re-flashing a thousand times from clean to dirty wiping. Even other apps such as TelNav and Maps won't work either.
Can someone share some light on how i can get this GPS issue resolved? :victory::good: now im currently using stock TW in which is slow and old fashioned :crying:

GPS is a bug known by the dev, but I think he gave up on fixing things. So what we got is what we will ever have. I don't use the gps or cameras so I'm OK with it.
I know there was a dev that finished some of the work but used the build without permission. I have it, I'll flash it to see if it works, but I don't think so

It locks on close, but says I'm in the street from where I'm at. I'll do further testing on my way home from work

yea it shows that but the minute you put your destination it stays stuck in searching for GPS.

Well I didn't test the Nav, but walked around my complex and looked like it didn't budge. I'll try the Nav later before I go to sleep.
The one I've flashed is cyanogenmod version 11-20140416 that was taken down. The other is 1110140408 that's in general. Biggest giveaway of the two is the mobile network switch right under Bluetooth and WiFi switches. If you don't have a recent build I'll see what I can do about uploading somewhere.

I don't think it will work either but never tested GPS anyway

Sorry if off topic. I'm running cm11 on this and can't remember for the life of me where I got it. Are cameras broken for everyone and is there no thread at all anymore for any builds for this device? Also, if anyone knows, it's there a device tree for it? Is it codename p1? I'm hoping to build pacman for it. If I can get her done, I'll start a thread. I have someone helping me with a kernel with wake gestures as well. We'll see how lucky I get with either.

I know what you mean lol. The original thread who was first opened by one of the developers was deleted and never reposted the CM11 build. Only a few lucky ones like me managed to get a good download but yes it does have the broken camera and GPS. I do hope you can bring pacman ROM to this device . If you need my DL i can send you a quick link to it just let me know. I think there's also a device tree for it but im sure that one was deleted as well :crying:...even though i think i may have that as well...sorry i stopped half way in making an AOSP rom for this device so left my work half finished.

Well I have the rom. I'm just learning about building and I have a couple friends helping but I don't get why it would be taken down. Especially the device tree if there is one. Wouldn't that be on the cm site? I believe if that's there then the rest should be fairly easy. Do you know, is the device codename p1? Or what the codename is? I know the model number but I think there should be a codename by which to find it on cm. I installed a nightly for the p1 and it didn't break anything fit what that's worth if anything. I'll deff drop a post in here if I come up with anything. If anyone has any info at all that you think might help, even if you think it might not help or aren't sure if it's right, let me know. Anything about this device seems to be so ambiguous it's unreal.

Hey guys I just got my T217S yesterday and almost cried when i saw the lack of dev support for this model. If you guys are willing to help get me up to speed Im willing to help test some new builds. I cant find a single concise piece of info regarding anything about this model, and the information I do find seems to be out of date. Ive rooted and rommed an epic 4g, s2, s4, tab 2 10.1 and a bunch of friends phones, its easy when you can find the info. If you know any links it be appreciated. (Sorry to threadjack)

Sorry dude but unfortunately there's really nothing atm. Only a whole bunch of TW roms in which in reality is still stock just rooted. We did had a themed one before but that was taken down.
Even tw ROMs are scarce. The one bad seed one looks pretty good but Wi-Fi doesn't work.
