RC 1 can now be found HERE
Here is a mirror
How to get back to stock if you are having issues:
1. You will need to flash a sbf, you can find guides here for Windows and here for Linux.
2. Reboot recovery by pressing X on the keyboard and turning it on
3. Press the search key so a menu pops up
4. Navigate to wipe data with the volume keys. Select with the camera button.
5. Then navigate to reboot with the volume keys and select with the camera key.
You are back to stock and you can root!
The File Manager was included in this rom so you are able to install the Bootstrap application so you can restore a back up or flash a different rom. Wipe your data after this.

Sweet, i am so excited for this. Gonna install it as soon as I get a chance, downloading now. I can't wait to see if you guys figure out custom kernels
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I'm real curious to hear what you guys found that will allow custom kernels on this phone. I already read over what birdman and nenolod were trying and it seems they threw in the towel. I read some other posts on droidforums about initiating essentially a second boot second to trick the phone into loading a custom kernel, but nothing more on that topic. Really curious to see how you might be able to implement this
Nice work guys. I will probably give this a try this weekend.
I too would like to hear your theory on how to get a new kernel on the phone. Not in a hurry to see it happen, but just curious to hear the underlying theory.
Though, I do understand if you are waiting to get it released before sharing. Just don't forget to let the community know when/if you get it worked out. It will open a lot of doors for some of these rom cookers around here, and rom cookers of the future.
and just installed it, sans computer intervention (thank god nothing went wrong or I'd be SOL for 5 hours lol, im at work)
mounted, wiped cache/data, remounted, installed, remounted, and wiped cache/data again just to be safe
now I'm waiting for it to restore all my apps and stuff so I can get everything reconfigured and have a glorious blur free phone! thank you so much devs, this is fantastic
Hey guys, awesome ROM! Very stable so far!
One thing I noticed: The "Car Home" application shows up in Android Market, but the update fails when attempting to apply it. Not sure what the cause of this is just yet. If I can glean more information from my own testing, will let you know.
Thanks again for the work you've put into this!

I am not sure why that happens, but if you really want the new one from market, you can just remove it from /system/app and then it will install fine from market. I have had that issue with other apps before. Honestly, with a lot of these apps in the market now, there really isn't much need to include them in the rom.
Seems to work pretty well. Got stuck in a boot loop because I didn't wipe my data, so I rebooted recovery and wiped it. Problem solved.
The only problem I'm having is that I can't get Backup Assistant to work, so I can't restore my phone numbers.
I downloaded the stock app rar, and tried doing an ADB install for BackupAssistanceClient and BuaContactAdapter, but I get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]".
I tried copying over BuaContactAdapter.apk and BackupAssistanceClient.apk manually (to /system/app) and setting permissions, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

Export your contacts from the verizon website and then take that file and import it into gmail and sync your contatcs with gmail. Then, it doesn't matter which rom you install you'll have your contacts.

Here's what I did with another ROM. Go to VZW with your pc. Navigate to contacts. Export contact list as Outlook CSV. Go to your gmail acct and import the CSV. Sync phone contacts to gmail. Important to do the outlook export though. Regular CSV doesn't populate gmail contacts properly.
Just a quick question. If and when we flash this, are we still rooted? If so, can I just install bootstrap and reboot recovery and restore? Or do i have to do the whole root process again like if it was an original phone from store?
one thing with the bootloader i remember when i first got my eris was people on the fourms would keep emailing htc for the bootloader keys because it was hard to crack and htc gave them up ... maybe if we flood moto with emails and stuff they'll loosen up like htc
DL'ing now. If you guys want another mirror let me know.

Yes, it comes with root. No, you do not want to restore. Restoring will bring you back to the backup you created. This rom comes with Superuser.apk (root) no need to re-root.

I seem to remember the alpha thread saying not to flash themes over this....but don't think it was mentioned this go round....still the case? (assume so). Figured it was worth noting in the first post if that's the case.
Also....I just installed this, and am also stuck unable to get it programmed.
First time it started the music and then got a failed message. Since then I don't even get the music, and after 20 seconds or so I just get a "Please enter the # you're calling about" message and if entered, it just tries to transfer me to cust service.

Have you tried *22899 send? Should go straight into programing the phone
Hi all! Asking for a little help from the xda crew. Yesterday I went through the process of rooting my sgs4g, doing a Titanium Backup, flashing from Froyo to the GB starter pack, and finally installing Valhalla Black edition. Everything went *super* smooth and I love it! The only issue I have is that my contacts will not populate with facebook photos, which I believe is because Valhalla does not use the "accountsandsync.apk"
I believe this to be true based on this thread in another forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102157
Now, that being said, I thought I could just reinstall from my TB file, but I think this is where I made a small mistake yesterday. I backed up "all apps+system data" and when I try to restore the accounts and sync file TB hangs up at the popup window. After doing some research it appears that this may be due to the fact that I saved it with the Froyo system data? *If* all I've said so far is true, could someone please share the "accountsandsync.apk" and anything else I might need to restore this feature in GB on Valhalla Black?
Some simple instructions on where to put the file and how to install would be welcomed with a smile as well!
If I'm incorrect in my assumptions, hopefully someone will get me pointed in another direction so that my phone will populate my contact list with facebook photos again.
To be complete in my attempts at a fix I have tried multiple scenarios between syncing with google, and in the facebook app sync menu with no results.
Thank you in advance for your help!
-Devlin.
My contact pictures always worked fine, even with Valhalla Black. After using TB to restore apps, make sure you log out of Facebook app then log back in and select sync all. After that my contact pictures always populate afterwards. Even the newest Rom by Raver works fine.

Hi, thanks for your reply. For s&g I tried to log out and log back into the FB app but this didn't update my list. This is certainly not a ROM issue. It has to do with not being able to restore my 'accounts and sync' apk. I imagine my contact photos would work if I could restore the accounts and sync apk from TB, but as I stated TB hangs when I try this. I believe this is because of the way I backed it up while still on Froyo. I believe that I need the actual apk from someone currently on GB in order to make this work again...so, original request still stands. Thanks again.
Yes.. rather than use TB to restore I would push the .apk. Anytime you can do fresh installs in better than using TB because it can sometimes cause issues. For future reference you can get most .apks from other ROMs like the stock GB rom.
I use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your AccountAndSync.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the AccountsAndSync.apk in the folder.

Thanks a bunch. The app shows up in my app drawer, but force closes when I click on it. I tried to navigate to the file in the system/app folder and set permissions but Super Manager has a blank screen for permissions. Tried install and that process failed as well. Now I'm at a loss for ideas. Might you have any yourself? :/ Also did a reboot, tried to resync with FB app, no success.

I flashed Raver's latest ROM. It had Accounts and Sync in it.
If you have not done it yet try fixing permissions. Uninstall facebook reinstall. Clear cache, fix permissions, uninstall, reinstall fresh... these are all the things I would try.
If all else fails flash the most current release and see what happens. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: Look at the attached files in my previous post. I added one. You may be needing that apk as well.

Hi,
I'm using ported ics with badsouls rom. I get this error when I try to download something on the play store.
when I delete my google account and add it again after a reboot, I can download all the apps again.
But after some hours the error repeats. someone know how to fix the error? Could it be an error because of superchargerv6 and the modified services.jar file?
thank you for your help
What rom are you using?

There isn't a way that I know of where you don't need to wipe data. I just use titanium backup to backup all my apps and settings.
Go to settings/account and sync remove your account. then re-add it.. and wait until it sync completely try that and let me know..
you can flash the new rom ontop of the other without wiping.. i recommend wiping cache and delvik
I installed v1.1, but have the same problem.
I even downloaded a new phonesky.apk like suggested in badsouls thread.
After I wipe cache / dalvkit and delete google account, I can download apps short after it.
But after some hours the problem comes back.
wipe
you can wipe data or reFlash rom .
I did already both, but error is still their.
I got NEWMAN N1 , some application were fine to install with Market some others (like Instagam) )I got error (RPC:..)
Finally I solved it by install via Chrom browser.
I don't want to re install account, why to do it ? , gmail is fine... all is fine...
Why google can't fix this LAME error
I have my bone stock VZ GS3 that got the official OTA for JB 4.1.1.
Since the update whenever I launch Navigation it will open, location lock, get desired directions, and usually crash within a few minutes.
I think it has something to do with Maps because when I check the Play Store, a lot of other GS3 users have been complaining of similar issues since the update.
Now is there anything that can be done on my end to possibly help? Or am I just stuck waiting for an update to the app?

Talked to a couple friends today who are on other ROMS and Nav/Maps works fine for them
Have you tried going into application manager, force stop, and clear data? If that doesn't work, I would reboot into recovery, wipe caches, and fix permissions,
I had a similar problem and this worked for me,

I have not tried that. Ill give it a shot, thanks!
I cant say ive experienced that exact problem, but since the OTA i have had a bunch of other bugs that werent present prior to the update. Many threads online about them also. Factory reset has helped some, but not all.
So I think the issue is still related to the JB update.
I did what HHF2 suggested and it didnt help. I have a couple friends running the latest milestone ROM from AOKP and their Maps/Nav works just fine.
So I rooted, unlocked, and ROM'd to the same one....only to continue to get force closes, to the point where within 2 blocks today, it closed 6 times..
Talking to one of the friends tonight, I found out that they never installed the official JB OTA, they went from ICS to the AOKP JB ROM. So that is bringing me back to think that something in the update screwed things up
Ok sooooooo
I flashed back using Odin to bone stock 4.0.4 Then rooted/unlocked BL/CWM. Then flashed the AOKP ROM and Gaaps, Nav/Maps STILL crashes
idk wtf is up
Try all of the following
Clear data for Maps
Clear data for Google Services Framework
Uninstall and Reinstall Maps and Naviation
Fix Permissions (custom recovery > advanced)
You could download an .apk for an older version of maps/nav to confirm if it's the latest release.
If all of that doesn't work and you still get Force Closes, then something deeper is going on. Download a logcat script capture (I use aLogCat) and post your results after replicating the FC. Hope this guidance helps you in some way. GL.

Did the 4 bullet points in that order. So far, things seem to be a bit better, but it still says "searching for GPS" but at the same time I dont get great service inside my house. So tonight when I head out ill see if I can get a GPS lock on.
Even before when it was "searching for GPS" I could move the map around zoom in/out and it would force close after just a few seconds. Its better because I can scroll around and it hasnt closed yet.
Thanks
Glad to hear there is some improvement!
Download an app called GPS Status. It will tell you how many Satellites you're locked onto, and you can download the aGPS patch fix.

Well now that I'm out of the house it has FC on my twice within 3mins
Think I'll try an older version APK. Any idea where to start my search for that?
I went back and read the GS3 reviews on Maps in the play store and a lot of ppl have the same issues
Sounds like it may be a bug in the latest version of GMaps.

I went to that site and downloaded a .zip file of a previous version. Do I just load the whole .zip file from CWM? I didnt see (may have missed it) any APKs, they all seemed to be market links or .zip
I also just installed aLogCat. Booted Navigation and after it crashed I opened LogCat and it said "reading logs, please wait" and nothing ever happened.

I assume you just need to unzip the file and there's an apk in there.
For aLogCat, make sure you hit the play button first off. Also, go into settings and make sure the level is set to "verbose"
Sent via SGS3 using Tapatalk
Already tried unzipping it but there are no APKs in there.
For aLogCat, it was already set to verbose and when I open the program it says its running and only has the "pause" button. If I hit pause, I can then hit play, but it doesnt do anything again.
Google Maps APK Links:
http://www.androiddrawer.com/6632/download-maps-6-12-0-app-apk/#.USKzelqY5b0
Current version is 6.14.2, if you look on the right-hand side you can see different versions. This link is for the last major release, 6.12.0.
I recommend clearing Google Maps data, uninstall, then install using the prev version release apk. If the FC's stop, then we can confirm that the problem is a bug in the latest update to the app. Good luck :good:

So I have been using TB for years now, since back in the day that I had the HTC Hero and I have never had a problem with it until now. There are some certain apps that it will just not restore no matter what I try. It begins restoring the others just fine but when it gets to the same exact apps, it just stops and freezes.
I am using the Restore missing apps with data option.
I have tried deleting all backups and backing up again. I have tried verifying my backups various times. I have also tried not using batch restore for those specific apps (Going directly to that app and restoring just that one app with and without data, and it just hangs as well).
I am using SuperSU with my binary updated and busy box installed. I also changed the application processing mode to indirect. Is anyone else having this same issue? Its not on one specific rom, it happens on every rom I flash may it be stock based or aosp. I have exactly 112 apps backed up so when I have to force stop TB, and go back to uncheck the apps that are not restoring various times to restore the rest, it sucks especially since I am very picky with things working as they should.
Apps it will not restore:
Tippy Tipper
Subway Surfer
Nimble Quest
Battlefriends at sea gold
Commander (Star wars)
Instasize
If anyone has any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it, please let me know. Thank you beforehand!
What kernel do you have installed?
Stock CM that came with the official CM12 rom.
But either way, I have had this issue on every rom I have flashed.

If you go to the play store are you able to install them? I have had a few that i can't restore, but once I've installed them from the play store I can restore the backed up data. I haven't been able to figure out why some restore and others don't (unless they aren't compatible with the DPI and the Android version I've found a few that when you look them up in the play store they are not compatible)

I have been able to install them from the play store without any issue, I just can't restore them using TB no matter what I try. And its weird that its the same apps every time. So it is something that those apps have that does not get along. Can someone manipulate the situation and check on their end? I am running Illusion (Latest version from the 18th) and latest version of TB. See if you can restore those specific apps backed up from any rom.
Try changing the mount namespace separation setting in super su. I got that message when I first installed titanium it was a warning I don't know what it does or if it will fix your problem
I realized today that when backing up the specific apps after deleting all backups (Fresh backup), it rushes through those specific apps like as if it doesn't want to back it up but it doesn't give me an error message.
some apps don't like restoring to a different rom than they were made on.
Have you tried using the option in TB to create an update.zip you can then flash?
Hi there in desperation I come to this thread. Ive tried everything thats suggested in this thread and more.
TT backup Pro home page shows all necessary items like Root etc checked.
Problems with Pro:
1..Nandroid restore crashes immediately on item selection eg as soon as Menu Item Nandroid is selected Titanium crashes.
2..As mentioned by others, some apps wont restore; TT sits there in restore mode with nothing happening. This is on several apps.
3..Menu/Backup data to XML Bookmarks=yes Messages=yes Call log=crash/'Unfortunately, TT bup has stopped.'
4..Several other annoyances in reliability but the above are most important.
I have politely asked Titanium for support but they dont bother answering. After a few days waiting I gave the app a feedback of 1 on Play thinking that would get some response but no!
In 20 years of computer work, I have never had a software supplier with such a terrible support policy, and the feedback page for this app supports this comment.
Im sorry to have to come to this forum asking for help, but the Titanium folks leave me no choice.
As an aside I also use 'Backup Your Mobile' which IMHO is better at restoring settings and reliably restores apps with settings at no cost if you can put up with the ads.
Kind regards,
Alistair.
Since this post and no replies I have submitted 2 more support requests with TTBup support which is done via a web page interface. I even supplied a small video showing the problem. Alogcat does not report any errors which is odd.
Still no replies from TTBup support.
