customizing a rooted s3 after dreaded OTA 4.3 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

so, yes I'm an idiot. I was running cm 10.2 and it was being buggy do I flashed stock and started over, accidentally downloading 4.3 in the process. dammit.
so, I really liked the aosp look of cm, especially the notification bar, the lockscreen, etc.
can I customize the functionality of my s3 without flashing a custom rom or am I screwed?
also, Wtf can I do now that I'm rooted on 4.3? anything?

Read carefully as you first have to install the xposed framework.

and the xposed installer won't brick my device? what allows this to be installed safely while flashing a rom does not?

Xposed is an app (well it's the framework). It does not require flashing anything in a custom recovery or unlocking of a bootloader, it simply lets you modify the appearance or behavior of the system or other apps. Conversely, flashing a rom on our S3 requires you to have an unlocked bootloader.

this answers my question perfectly. thank you very much.

No problem! I haven't used Wanam Xposed but I know it comes highly recommended for TW 4.3. I use Xposed (slightly different somehow) and there's a two step process of first installing Xposed and rebooting then installing a module that interests you then rebooting once again. It's a pretty fun utility and may be rather addicting!

Flash rom without root?

Is it possible to flash a custom rom without root? If so, where can I find one?
Thanks for your help!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No. No custom roms unless you're rooted and unlocked. The closest you'll get are flashing Verizon factory stock roms via Odin, but those are not rooted.

What is your purpose to use custom rom without root?? Custom rom, by default required root for all the modded apps to work.

Umm, why?
I'm new and just trying to learn, that's all. I come from I phone. The S3 un-rooted can already do more than a jailbroken iphone. Almost like learning a new language with the Android and rooting.

[Q] So about this cyangenmod..

I'm trying to root my s3 and the goal is in the end to put cm on it. I'm bummed the installer doesn't work for our phone, but is there a good guide on here or elsewhere with the files I'll end and a how to?
Thanks in advance ( FYI, I've flashed and rooted multiple times before just never cm)
If you stop by Google and go to CyanogenMod's page, find the phone in the devices section. There are device specific guides there. If you want to try something else, go to the original development section, find the CyanogenMod ROM and follow the directions there.

I've found the site but I'm not too familiar with some of the steps needed. I've re rooted my device, I know now I need to unlock my bootloader. There used to be an app on the play store for this, is still there and whats the name of it does anyone know?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Never used an app but using an automated system like that without knowing how to do it the real way ends up crippling you for the long road of wonderful Android. Here is a link to a sticky that has your info:

Read the instructions here once rooted/unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405425
Yeah, those didn't really help me...if I gave the file on my sd card should I be able to flash it from there with rom manager or goo manager?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you're rooted, and unlocked, do you have your nandroid backup set up with custom recovery? From there just use Goo Manager to boot into recovery, and then wipe your cache and then flash your ROM and appropriate Gapps pack. Process was fairly simple on my SIII using TWRP. Make sure you look up the appropriate Gapps zip before starting or you will wind up with key features inoperable and will have to reboot and load it onto your phone before finishing setup.
You'll like CM 10.1.x on the SIII, it runs very smoothly.
Nothing in the post I linked mentions Rom manager. The instructions work if followed.
Don't forget to do this either. Just in case. I've never had to restore, but i still have A & B covered

Not necessarily. I think I flashed my SIII with about 85%. Then again, I did most of the steps with it plugged into the charger EXCEPT for flashing the rom itself. It took about four or five minutes tops.
Has anyone tried both cm and slimbean? I'm thinking of trying slimbean first bc I have usee cm in the past but I keep reading slimbean is stable and gives great battery.

[Q] Exchange Security Bypass on VZW S3

I'm rooted on stock JB 4.1.2. Did anybody able to patch their systems to bypass exchange security?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure there is a module available for use in xposed installer that does exactly just that. I don't use it, but I just took a look and found this

Nexus 5 ART

I have just got my nexus 5 a day ago running stock rom stock kernel, rooted with clockworkmod in play and I'm trying to turn on ART, the system asks to reboot and when it does there is no upgrading process when the device boots, I in to dev options and it indicates it's still using David, I've tried this over and over again and nothing, anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Do you use Xposed framework and modules?
If yes it's normal because they are not compatible with ART, and makes revert to Dalvik runtime automatically.
If no, sorry I don't know...
I do use exposed, that's a real shame, what if I was to use a custom Rom like omni would it still revert back?

So yes it's due to Xposed and you can't do anything until the devs will make it compatible...
No you can use ART with another rom but not with Xposed, whatever the rom with Xposed you can't use ART...

It WILL screw up your phone. Go search for "disable updates" to stop it.
