Newbe to vzw Samsung Galaxy s3.... I kind of enjoyed the TouchWiz features in the vzw store. Can someone point me in the right direction for a touchwiz rom with root where I can use the hand swipe to do a screen snapshot, etc, etc?
Currently I have a aopk rom on my phone that someone else loaded on it. Unless I am missing something, it doesn't seem to have touchwiz.
Can someone help a fellow out?
Thanks in advance.
I like this one. It has everything you asked for and it's cleaned of the bloat.

Link above will list pretty much all ROMs and kernel available.
You can test and see what you prefer.
Stable rms I have tested: cleanrom as stated above ans synergy.
....but just flash different ones and see what you like. That's part of the fun!

Thanks for the replies... I see Clean and Synergy. I currently have Synergy on my TB. Right now on my s3, it came to me preloaded with AOPK. But that doesn't have TouchWiz. Which version of Synergy would be considered the most stable? It's hard for me to tell which versions are which. I did see someone post something about a version 1.7, but for the life of me I don't see that.
R73 is the most current 4.0 build. It's fan-friggen-tastic! 4.1 jb build us just beginning, so wouldn't recommend that one for you. Click the current build link and it will list all recent versions.
Throw on a Trinity kernel and a little dark horse rises theme, and love life for the great moment in time your in...

Thanks, I found Synergy R73. Now I am waiting on it to finish booting up. I am sitting on the 'Synergy ROM' boot animation, and it has been on that for at least 5 minutes. I think something went afoul here. Hmmmm.
Nope, takes a bit first time

It's still going.... so all in all so far it has been 25 minutes.... I think this is taking too long- don't you think?
That's long, your bootloader is unlocked correct?

Your in download not recovery mode. Hold power button down, it should shut off after 20 seconds give or take. Then power, home, up (not down) for recovery

Device came preloaded with AOPK. I have not activated it yet. It's to replace my HTC Thunderbolt. I was wanting to put on a TouchWiz rom and load that first before trying to activate. Then once activated, I was going to get all my apps back from the market, etc.
I downloaded Synergy 1.7 from the download area. I copied it to a UTILITIES folder on the internal card. I did a MD5 checksum prior to installing Synergy and the checksum was perfect.
I then went to install zip from internal sd. I navigated to the UTILITIES folder, and selected the Synergy zip file. It then did some processing for a few minutes and told me it was done.
It was at that time I rebooted the device, and from there it sat on that Synergy boot animation.
I then tried several battery pulls after it was at the boot animation for 30 minutes or so. But they all just sat at the boot animation. Finally I attempted to get into recovery mode. I am not sure if I selected the proper keys, but used Power button, Home button, and Volume down button.
That's how I ended up where I am now.
Sorry I didn't see your message until just now. I will try again and report back in just a sec.
Did you make a backup before the flash? Did you wipe data before the flash? Have you been able to get into recovery as I mentioned above?
Ok, it took a few times, but I am now in Recovery. Should I do a "wipe data/factory reset"?

No I did not wipe data before the flash.
Yes, I am now in recovery mode using the steps you outlined
Ok good, you were just on sh*t street, but not on F'd lane! Yes wipe data, wipe cache, go to advanced wipe dalvik. Then reflash the synergy rom. This should work fine. bootup will be anywhere from 5 to 10 min

- Update - it just finished installing. Now it is starting to boot up. I now have the boot animation screen and it is 29mins after the hour. I am watching the clock.... *keeping fingers crossed*
Ok, that's done. I don't currently have a sim card inserted into the device. I wonder if I can use the one from my TB? Or should I use the one that came with the phone?

I seem to be stuck in a loop after flashing Serendipity VII Infuse.
My infuse is at the home screen showing the clock, unlock slider and volume slider. Screens says (no Service). Top of screen is running a media scanner.
As soon as it finishes scanning the media, the screen goes blank, shows the Serendipity boot screen w/progress bar, then back to the home screen with the two sliders.
It does not reboot all the way to when it says Samsung.
I've reset and cleared the cache in the red cmw.
Any ideas?
same thing here.
You wouldn't happen to have a SIM password?

Car Dock Issues
So I flashed Serendipity VII yesterday from Infused V1, and let me start by saying it's awesome.
I am having an issue with the car dock, though. It actually worked fine the first time I used it, but now the sound won't redirect to the dock. It's not a huge deal because I can just plug the cable in directly to the headphone jack, but one of the great things about the car dock was that I didn't have to deal with the wires. Anyone have any ideas?

Go to http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/ and click download at the top. Took me some time to figure it out too.
I am currently running Infused 1.6 with the Infusion 2.0 Core A kernel. I would like to move to the GB release of Serendipity VII, do I have to go back to stock or can I just flash the download through red CWM from the serendipityinfuse website over my current build and do a full wipe?
Will the download also include the kernel it needs to run?
I'm have seen some mixed information on the actual process for installation coming from custom roms and kernels. This is the first time I am going to be updating to GB.

Backup your apps with TiBu, download Serendipity VII to sdcard, go to Red CWM, Full wipe, flash Serendipity VII, reboot, restore your apps only (NO SYSTEM DATA), Enjoy!
It really is an awesome ROM! I flashed it yesterday and love it!

Don't feel like an idiot, we're all learning over here in Q&A.
Turn the phone off and then hold the VOL + and - keys and the power key at the same time for about 10 seconds then release.
If you are not getting Red CWM then it may be because you do not have Voodoo Lagfix installed. Is your phone stock, have you ever installed any other ROMs? Mine started giving me red CWM after I installed the Infused 1.6 ROM.
Hopefully we can get some more advanced users in here to lend a hand, I would like to learn more about this process also.
im in here let me know whatcha need !
i used to have infused 2.1....or 2. something and i wanted serendipity. so i tried to install and nothing would happen. so i went back to stock and all kind of problems started. but im gonna give this a shot

ok i held the keys and it sent me to a blue screen. if i press reinstall packages it then sends me to the green cwm screen. could someone let me know whats going on lol
i went back to stock using the unbrick method and now i cant download anything from the market. i hit install and the download bar pops up for a second and then dissappears. cant even install apps that i had before
does anyone know if you can restore all missing apps and data with serendipity. i somehow got it to flash and was jw. thanks
hey guys, my phone was working fine overnight with ICUP-speedy2. i checked my messages, left it alone then went back to it after breakfast and i saw that all these processes were stopped.
so i powered off the phone to reboot and i'm stuck on the bootscreen (aka google nexus square animation)
i'm able to get into recovery. i tried fixing permissions and wiping the dalvik and cache. i tried uploading the kernel again. still no go.
any help? i really do not want to do a factory reset and lose data. i forgot to do an nandroid backup.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
also, my superuser is up to date with the ICS binaries and i'm currently running CMW 5.0.2 with the install-recovery.sh renamed.

You know you could have made a nandroid after messing it up, then wiped your data and manually restored some of your settings? CWM Recovery only tar's files and makes a MD5 hash check. A copy/paste is nearly as effective.
The same thing just happened to me as well. I'm using Speedy 3 by eugene. I received a text messaged then my phone rebooted randomly, after that all the apps had a bunch of errors when the phone loaded. After rebooting it cycled the boot animation over and over again. Is there anyway to recover from this state?

How do I do that if I don't have the rom zip on my phone anymore? I do have a restore of the stock rom that came with the phone, but would that conflict with the current kernel? I'm seeing there are ways to use the shell once in recovery, but I do not know all the commands, as to sending the zip.

Hi. I was toolin' along doing real well on CleanRom 4.5 for several days. Starting yesterday, the phone would randomly reboot itself to the HTC screen. I figured I had a bad app or something. Today, I went to open an app (Draw Something) and the phone froze for a bit. Then it rebooted, and now I cant get it booted back up. I usually never make it past the HTC screen. Got into recovery once but it rebooted in the middle of clearing the cache.
Any advice?
Welp, just made it through cache and dalvik and rebooted in the middle of factory reset. I wonder if I'm doing more harm than good.
Got it recovered and wiped fully, but it still keeps rebooting. Starting to feel like a hardware issue.

Worst case scenario you can relock the bootloader and run an RUU. But I think u can get out of this without having to do that
I replaced the SIM. Battery at 90% now, was 44% when I started. Fortunately, it is charging from TWRP.
It reboots all over the place - from fastboot, from recovery, from the boot.img, from the lock screen. I made it all the way to Android setup at one point and it rebooted. It most often just gets to the HTC screen and hangs - it reboots the least from recovery, just once in a great while.

try flashing CM10 instead of a Sense rom. Aroma can cause freezes and reboots on its own. I would also be scared to run the RUU also since your phone freezes randomly. whats was your stock version?
It doesn't sound like you do, but if you installed a custom kernel that is overclocked then it could be that your device can't handle the higher CPU frequency. CleanROM 5 final I don't think has a custom kernel though. It could also be a bad CPU or memory hardware.

I told him to flash a rom that doesn't use aroma. He is getting freezes all the time. TWRP used to freeze up on me all the time after the 2.20 ruu until twrp 2.2.2.0 was released. Phone still has trouble getting into recovery from the bootloader though. He should install CM10 or codefirex without using a custom kernel. Maybe run "fastboot erase cache" in bootloader then wipe cache,dalvik,factory reset,system,external in recovery then flash CM10 or codefirex and gapps. keep it plain until you find issues you can attribute to the rom or to the phone. i have had very few issues with latest builds of jb aosp roms besides some battery stuff.
Well, although I had fully charged it and then powered down, now that I am ready to work on it this AM, it wont start at all. I'm thinking she's gone, captain.

So a while back I rooted my S3 i535, and started trying to install customer roms. The only one that would work was Slimbean so I have been using that for a while, but it has begun to occasionally freeze on me.
I would like to try switching over to maybe Liquidsmooth or ParanoidAndroid. My problem is whenever I flash these roms the phone won't boot, and just sits at the splash screen. I am kind of thinking maybe it is because I need to flash a different kernel, but I have never done that and am unsure of which Kernel I should use or the steps I should take in doing this. Any advice is appreciated.

I see that I have the Cyanogenmod Kernel installed currently which I suppose either is installed with Slimbean or it may have been installed because I tried the CM10 rom first, but it wouldn't boot.

in theory AOSP ROMs should load faster than a Touch Wiz ROM as TW ROMs are around 1 gig for the ROM.zip and AOSP ROMs are about half that, but still I've had ROMs take over 15 mins to load, I know one time I thought it was the phone, but then I wiped fully again, and waited 20 mins and it loaded. I would say anything after 20 mins though, then it's definitely something wrong.
Ok backing stuff up then going to flash back to stock then try LiquidSmooth and see if it will let me boot up. Will let ya know how it goes.
So I install stock un-rooted rom. Then installed a stock rooted rom, then installed liquidsmooth and all I get is the Samsung symbol flashes then it goes black. Then it vibrates and the Samsung symbol flashes then blackness. Just repeats this over and over =(
I noticed you said that you're wiping cache and dalvik, but make sure you're also wiping data and system too.

Anyways. I wiped everything on the phone before every rom installation. System restore, dalvik, and cache. The custom rom still won't boot.
As the title states, I have my skyrocket with cm10 and mms is not working. I'm using the pta apn that's included.

Md5 is another thing though....I've never checked them before, and due to that, I havent clue how to verify md5. I'll do some reading and see. I can tell you that when I flash it will say "no md5 found, skipping verification" or something to that effect. I presume this could be the issue?
Thanks!
That just means you have md5 verification turned off, it doesn't affect anything. You need to check the md5 yourself before you flash the files on your phone. If they don't match the files are incomplete or corrupted.

Thanks. I've downloaded a Checksum utility from CNET, and redownloading the rom right now. Will also re-download modem and verify as well. I noticed on the CM site that UCLI3 is now the recommended modem, so I'll go ahead and change to that instead of using UCMC1.
I plan on flashing to stock, and going all the way through it, just to ensure everything is cleared out this time, instead of just wiping/formatting via TWRP this time around.
Appreciate your help. Will report back any issues.
Thanks.

That is outdated, you want to use ucmc1 radio.

Thanks for confirming. Just finished re-downloading everything, and that modem link on the CM site was kinda odd, so I decided to stick with UCMC1. I literally just finished all my downloads, and now am going to begin the stock-recovery-modem-rom flashing process. Hoping to be able to report back success within the next hour! All md5/sha hashes checked out, so here's hoping!!
Thanks for your help through all of this.

RIGHT ON!
I have no idea where the issue was in my prior process (likely MD5 checking, because that's the only thing I did differently) but we are up and running now.
Totally appreciate your help through all of this...now I shall crawl back into my hole, and likely not return til I get another phone, and a whole new set of problems
THANKS!!!!!!

just wanted to update this, in case anyone else experiences this issue....
I installed a few extras (an addon package, and cLock, and a few other things off the Slim Roms site) and all of a sudden I wasn't able to send MMS again. No idea what did it, because I didn't check before installing each .zip package, just installed them all at once.
I presumed everything was good, then tried to send an MMS that evening. Didn't work. AHHH! SO FRUSTRATING!
Decided to charge it up all the way and prepare to reflash everything. UGH. Not again. This **** is getting old.
So I thought, well, let's just do a full wipe, and see what that does. So I went into TWRP, did the "full wipe" option that wipes cache, dalvik cache, .android_secure, and Factory Reset. Figured if it borked everything, I'd just start from square 1. Got nothing to lose, right?
Well, it worked. Did that reset, and phone booted up. Once everything was up, I tried to send MMS, and success! Haven't had a single issue since then.
Thanks.
I've noticed that if I'm using a thrifty party messaging app my mms won't send but using the stock app it sends with no problem...
