When you say "The thread" I'm assuming your talking about the EMBRYO thread? and if so yes I did. I read before i did the flash. If this thread is not the one your talking about then please be more clear of which thread you are talking about since there are a number of threads to choose from.
I have reflashed did cashe clear. made sure the md5sum is correct

Yeah i was talking about the embryo thread, in case this happened to someone else already then it might have been talked about. If you can't install any camera from the market it may be hardware. I would revert to your previous nandroid and see if it still works in that Rom

What is VRALI5.rpm.zip?

Is this the JB modem or something else? I'm not sure if should i install it with the jelly bean leak.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Seems like it. I flashed the one from invisiblek's modem thread with the filename VRLI5.modem.zip and it's working fine for me.
EDIT: Never mind, that's not the modem. According to this post it seems to be related to power management. I never flashed it, unless it was included with the modem zip.

what is this talk of .RPM on touchwiz jellybean? i have searched and found little info... sorry op not trying to hijack your thread!

Here's a couple posts I found earlier today about rpm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33187381&postcount=4155
and this latter one is more descriptive about what changes with OTA's and apparently only the rpm is of consequence...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32538851&postcount=3532
and finalement, here's a post with the JB leak's rpm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33557322&postcount=260
Now I still don't know what this does other than exist.

yea im trying to figure out its purpose and if i need to add it too my guide. thx for those links!

I'm still new to Samsung, so someone correct me if I'm way off-base, but the gist I got was that when a new rom (or leak) comes from verizon, it includes rom+kernel+rpm+modem... which on an HTC device we called rom+kernel+firmware+radio. So my understanding is that if you just flash the new radios without the new firmware that matches up with what your dev used as a base, there could be compatibility issues.
(Much more knowledgeable people discussed this in the Cleanrom thread as in those links above).

i understand all of that...just trying to figure out what exactly is rpm. thx !

In simple terms if I understand correctly it installs files that you don't get in flashing a ROM. Gives you an option if you don't want to go back to stock via Odin and OTA back up to current version.

RIL files and Power Managment files to coincide with ROM and Modem version to avoid possible conflicts and issues?

ahh ok now were getting somewhere! thx!!

So does an odin back to stock undo whatever this file does or does another rpm file need to be flashed to undo it?

If you Odin to a prior version of stock, it should be included in the zip which simultaneously changes the modem. The reason an rpm is being discussed is because when flashing custom roms and modems, this isn't updated. Think of an Odin flash of older images as "reversing an update," all those same files are added when you accept an OTA, so they'll be changed if you Odin an older stock image.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly redact my comment but that's what I understand from this discussion.

Thanks, it's starting to make more sense to me. I'm not unfamiliar with root but typically only do so to eliminate bloat, otherwise I'm happy with stock builds. The JB leak changed things a little so I want to get a better handle on what I'm installing and why.

stable
Why can't this just be simple.....I just want a good stable everything and then leave it alone.....Will that ever happen?

flash back to stock and leave your device alone...pretty simple.

So if we revert to a ROM backup, do we need to manually turn back the rpm as well, like we do with the modem? Sounds like we need vrali5 for jb leak. I will play around with jb for awhile though go back to ICS for everyday stability use, until I find a jb I like. Do I need to revert the rpm when I restore ICS? Where do I find older rpms. Thanks.

[Q] Avatar Rom Help

I am having a lot of reboots and lags/freezing of apps. Is there a way to get the previous build? I had no issues with that build.
Thank you

Did you flash the latest from the previous Avatar ROM? If yes, you should still have it on your phone, don't you? Good rule is not to delete ROMs until you know the next one works.

No, lesson learned. I actually had gone all the way back to stock, wanting to give gb a try again, but the wifi was awful and rely a lot on wifi. So, I went all the back to jb and flashed the latest avatar.

Well 3.5 is pretty stable. I would do a reset, flash it again per OP instructions and let it settle. Do a factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik and not a dirty flash.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

I did that in the beginning. I have never done a dirty flash. Though on some roms, they can be buggy. I accept that, not complaining. I will consider reflash with a clean start.

3.5 is my stable version right now. I'm working on version 4.5
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Ok, thanks, looking forward to new version. I did another complete wipe and relfashed and I am still having lags and random reboots/stuck on boot logo happening after reflash.

Dialer problems with all 4.2.2 ROMS

I've been having an issue with all 4.2.2 roms where if I either make a phone call or receive one my screen will go off, and none of the buttons will work during the phone call. I cant even hang up. I would have to wait for the other person to hang before I can use my phone again. I've tried 3 different 4.2.2 rom and I have the same same problem with all of them. With 4.1.2 I don't have those issues. I used the stock JB radio and kernel. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

OK, I've searched the whole forum for anything related to UCMCM1 and only got two hits; this post and another that briefly mentions UCMCM1. Im assuming that UCMCM1 and UCMC1 are not the same. Would you know where I can download UCMCM1? Thank you for your help.

its the same it was a typo, its ucmc1

Its ucmc1 and you can find it in the dev section and its probably linked elsewhere I'm not going to link because you need to work on those search skills.

Sorry, yes I meant UCMC1, I was typing from memory. I am confused then because you said you used the stock JB radio, which I don't believe is UCMC1. In that case, you may have an APN problem, what carrier are you with?

Sorry for the confusion, Im with AT&T.

Hrm. I'm out of ideas now, I don't think I've heard of this problem before.

att's stock jb radio is ucmc1, perform a full wipe then go back to stock 4.1.2, install twrp then wipe then flash 4.22

like this rom
i like this rom only had a few problems but after a reboot seams to be working good again

I have the weirdest thing happening. I'm on stable 7 and have been for quite a while. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago and now I can't send text messages out. I think I can receive OK. Just can't send out. I've even tried doing a clean install of this and other ROMs with same result. It gets more odd... After toying with it I can send only one text out. Just one to any person. But I can't send another unless I reboot or I think wait a few hours. Upon reboot I again can send only one text message out. And so on. I have no clue what could be happening. Any ideas?

I had that problem when I was using certain builds. I had to drop modem back to BMB1. After that I could send with no issue. I, too could only send one text at a time.

I was able to locate the firmware and had a tough time finding the stock kernel as many links for many things are no longer good... I downloaded what I thought was the "stock kernel v2" however when I try to flash after flashing the firmware in twrp I get a failed message "unable to open zip file".. Any thoughts, thank you in adv. Have twrp 2.8.0.1 btw and flashed MF1 firmware....

That's my bad on the ambiguity! Haha glad you've got it all set up. Just to clarify, every rom comes with a boot.img which is what becomes the kernel. Custom kernels are slightly different.

GPS issue with latest nightly
Just an FYI, I tried the latest nightly and got zero GPS fix, even with a clean flash. I went back to the latest stable build (also a clean flash) and everything's cool with that, except for my inability to view pics within Gmail. :/

Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot
Hi, I just loaded up Slimkat 4.4.4 with the stock kernel on my Verizon Galaxy S3. I used to use the Wifi Tether TrevE Mod with my previous version and that worked, however, this does not appear to work in this rom. I noticed there was a built in Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, which does work perfectly. I would like to use this but am just concerned that somehow VZ would know I am tethering and I would incur additional charges. Do I have anything to worry about or am I just being paranoid?
Thank you for a GREAT product, it's a spectacular rom.

You could try clearing data for the Play Store. I always encourage a clean flash (wipe data and system) before each new release.
