Question to the people that know a little more, will flashing a ROM or a kernel undo this?

Yes flashing a ROM will undo the build prop edits.

Sorry, but another question, if I re-did the edit, would it work just as normally?

So what exactly is this doing? Is this SIM unlocking the phone to use on local(domestic) GSM carriers?

I'm not sure about local, but works for international.

I'm not sure when using ROMs, but I used this on stock ROM.
Also, I started running into an issue where the System UI keep crashing, I keep getting the message "Unfortunately SystemUI has stopped working.", I can only stop it from looping this if I press the power button and turn on airplane mode, can anyone shed some light on this?

Maybe is you flash a system ui from might work im doing the same as we speak !

I'm honestly not sure. I did mine on a rooted stock phone. Also, on the crashes issue, I have been doing some test and found out that the systemUI crashes when it reaches a certain signal type(frequency), I'm not exactly sure what type of signal it is, if it's gsm or wcdma, but when it catches it, the systemUI goes into a crashing loop where it won't come back unless you turn on airplane mode or pick up an acceptable signal, I'm not exactly sure what causes this, or how to fix it, maybe someone here in xda will find a fix for it.

EDIT BUILD.Prop
I did the edit and restarted, now my phone is not switching on. i can see the led blinking only. can anyone help ?

Are you suggesting to just completely start over?

You can do rooted or nonrooted. But it sounded like what you wanted. Fyi 4.3 stock isn't the best. Might stick with 4.2.

Does it have hacked wifi hotspot?
I use it at work daily
Like right now

It's not a mod, it's stock. You can flash a rom...

I'm trying to find a stock rom, that has the hacked wifi hotspot. That's it...I dont need any fancy stuff. No themes, no errors...etc.:good:

Look in development. If you want the Samsung features like s-pen you will need touch Wiz. If not AOSP is probably smoothest. You will have to go through them to find the tether option. Not sure which have it.
Over and out.

I have always ran pure stock rooted roms when I want trouble free times and used the wifi tether apk that can be found. Most of the pure stock roms don't let u use the hot spot toggle from your settings but the wifi tether app will do u the same.
The main 2 things I root for is adaway and wifi tether even though I hardly use wifi tether or hot spot but when I do need it is there.
I am currently running the sts mk4 rom which is a stock based rom and it is running very smooth just an FYI for you. Although I haven't tried to connect anything with it the hot spot toggle didn't give me an error when I toggled it on so it appears to have it working.

I use AOSPA and don't have any of those problems. Well technically I can't say any since I haven't tried calling yet but none if the other problems. Did you clean flash or dirty flash? Also, did you mean your recovery is CWM? I've never heard if cfw.

It's a T989, right? If so, here is the ROM link ( http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/hercules/) and here are the gapps ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942).

You have to expect occasional bugs with any aosp roms.... The devs have done a great job keeping this device current.... Considering official support ended with 4.1.2.
If you want total stability on your phone.... Stock 4.1.2 TouchWiz might suit you best.
Just my 2 cents. ?

You might try using a stable Jelly Bean ROM that's been around for a while, such as the older builds of CyanogenMod (10.1.3), AOKP (JB-MR1), SlimBean 4.2.2, etc. If you still have a bad experience with those, you should probably go back to stock. You can always root and install Xposed on stock for extra tweaks.

[Q] Why won't this work? I'm clueless.

Okay so I'm trying to help my girlfriend flash CM11 on her Galaxy S3 i747 (US AT&T). Everything is just fine. I did not use the installer. I rooted, flashed TWRP (latest from the website), downloaded CM11 M12 from official download website and flashed it. Everything is working. Except for Skype. When it's a voice call, it's just fine. But as soon as she turns her camera on to start a video chat, it works for about five seconds, then Skype crashes. Here's the weird (and very irritating) part. This isn't limited to this ROM. I've tried CM11 M3 (yes. I went that low), I've tried AOKP (which got stuck in a bootloop at first boot, gave up), and Paranoid Android, LiquidSmooth, SlimKat. All from XDA, and the latest versions possible. They all have the exact same problem. Stock camera app works fine in all (except for a few times in which case a soft reboot fixed it.) I'm at a loss of ideas here. I've even tried a combination of running a different kernel. I tried running ParanoidAndroid with a Quantum 6 kernel. But still the exact same problem. Nothing I try seems to work.
I would go back to stock, but she likes iPhone emojis. So I wanna flash a 4.4.x+ ROM so I can change the emojis after rooting. Colored emojis aren't possible on Android 4.3 and below. And there is no official 4.4 ROM for this phone. What else should I try? Am I missing something?
Also, if I turn MY camera on, then her Skype shows my video stream just fine. Never crashes. It's only when she turns HER camera on the S3 that it starts to be stupid. All other apps work fine. We've been working on this for two weekends now.
I'm not new to flashing and rooting. Been doing it for a long time now with my phones and other people. But this is driving me nuts.
Bootloader and modem work fine. I flashed the bootloader to I747UCDMG2 and the modem to the same I747UCDMG2 before flashing CM11 for the first time. I don't wanna update the bootloader to I747UCUEMJB because Knox. (I had to deal with that on my phone, so no thank you.) Plus I don't think the bootloader has something to do with this, does it? If it's any help, I run an unofficial CM12 5.0.2 on a GT-i9500. I'll be grateful to anyone who can at least give me an idea of what Skype's deal is.

Don't I need a Samsung kernel for that? And do you mean like a port from the stock i747 OS? I think it has something to do with the kernel and not the ROM since this bug is not ROM exclusive. It happens on everything.

The CM camera isn't the most stable ever and all those roms build from the same tree if I'm not mistaken. Also there is an official 4.4 update for the S3.

Yes. TW based ROM works fine. I did an nandroid backup before flashing and when I restore it, it works just fine. But all other custom ROMs have this problem.

I was literally about to sell my LG G3 til I saw this thread, installed the new Validus and bam! not only works like a charm but it's amazing.

Do you have usb debugging checked in developer settings??
just so you know as well, apps like box or drop box are the new way of doing what you're trying to do..... install box on your computer....install the app on your phone.(you get 50gb free)...add your files you want to transfer to the box sync folder on your computer.,...open the app on your phone and the files are there....lol....download them to your device....I haven't plugged my phone into my laptop for like 2 years..... way better and easier than a cable.....and then you also have access to those same files on any device you own....or other computers (by logging into your box account)
try it out....thank me when you realize how awesome it is...

You need to root... https://www.dropbox.com/s/7w48wjtf7yqybg3/Stump-v1.2.0.apk?dl=0
then flash the twrp 2.8.0.0 image of twrp with flashify app from your stock ROM ...(its already bumped)..It will bump your device.
here's 2.8.0.0 image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yo3yqopl7ifj8ab/twrp-2.8.0.0_d852-signed.img?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/42bi1nwtt44dxe0/twrp-2.8.3.0_d852-bumped.zip?dl=0
then 'reboot recovery".don't reboot phone!...reboot recovery from twrp advanced reboot menu...then you're ready to flash lollipop roms..
Make a backup with the newly installed twrp 2.8.3.0 and then do a full wipe ...(everything except internal storage and ext sdcard)
then flash rom

Cool thanks. I realize that nothing will get exactly like stock but do you feel the picture quality is close enough?
Also I rooted my phone and install twrp last year..... Do i need to update twrp or anything like that? Or can I just flash with an older version of twrp?

Just flash it and try it...its very close to the same as stock...and even has 4k video and android wear support
You need twrp 2.8.3.0 or higher for lollipop roms....I use 2.8.3.0
* see my post above this one as i just explained how to update twrp to 2.8.3.0

Hmm what browser you using? I just downloaded using Chrome on OSX and no issues at all....

You activate 4k video recording by swiping right from the main camera screen, and then hitting the little video camera icon...

IR Blaster App recommendation
Hi I'm currently running the latest test build on my rogers D852 and I've noticed that in the threads the IR blaster is working. I've installed a few IR Blaster apps and none of them seem to work so are there any recommendations on working apps? Aside from that, thank you so much for all the hard work, I've been following Validus since the early test builds towards the end of December 2014 and its great to see this device getting support for custom roms etc..

Reboot? I have no idea? I haven't had that issue here at all....nor has anyone else. Try a full wipe and clean flash if all else fails.

Xposed Framework
Was anybody able to get Xposed to work successfully on this ROM with the D852? Clean install
