TouchWiz 4.3 Download List​
This is everything that can currently be flashed on the 4.3 update without bricking your device. This will hopefully alleviate the confusion involved of what can and can't be flashed on the 4.3 OTA update.
I will keep this up to date as much as possible. Post in this thread or PM me if you think something should be added to the list. This can include anything (roms, themes, mods, etc.) that will work for anyone with a locked bootloader using safestrap.

Scroslers is the most stock you're going to get. It's a good option, but he should look through all of them. They're all fantastic roms.

That I don't know, I haven't tested any of them.
They should be included in the main page description or I would search each thread individually for an answer to that.

No idea.
It's probably an issue with your Google account. I would try erasing it completely and re-adding it. You could also try flashing a custom playstore or installing a different one to see if you can fix the problem.
It isn't rom related.

Did you find one that does? I've just traded for a gs3 that already had taken the 4.3 OTA. I did get root using Saferoot but I can't get wireless tether app to work. I've searched for 3 days and can't find how to make it work. TIA

yeah bro. foxfi wireless tether works.
there is a free version and a paid version though.
there are 2 annoying things.
1 it's not free
2 it forces you to "lock" your phone with a password/pattern/or pin number.
So are any AOSP roms supported with safestrap? I'm looking at the download list and it's just modified TW roms.
My brother took the OTA, but is now interested in switching to AOSP and I wanted to make sure it was even possible.

Okay, I read on here every day on my cell and can't find the answer to my question. I, like alot of people have a stock, rooted, unlocked phone and want to update to the latest OTA. I would like to, if possible, do this without Odin.
I was wondering if they're was a file like Scott's stock Rom that could be dirty flashed over stock without any problems? If there is no other way, I plan on using Odin to get back to stock after I relock the bootloader, take the update, and then reroot, unlock, etc.
The big reason that I would rather do it without the computer is that I am on the road 90% of the time and don't have access to a computer. I depend on my phone for GPS as well as entertainment, so being without my phone isn't an option for me. Are there any options?

I am the same way and would like to do it without going completely back to locked/un-rooted/stock. I was able to find a ROM that Scott just updated with the new VRALG7 from verizon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892670
This will apparently update your phone to the new baseband and leave you stock/rooted.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I read that, but there are some bugs. I wonder if anyone has tried a dirty flash?

Did you just wipe cache and dalvik cache or do a full wipe?
What I ended up doing was a full wipe and flashed CleanROM 2.5, which is based on the new VRLG7 updates. Then I flashed the new VRLG7 radio form here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

Okay, I purchased mobile Odin pro, what is the way that I need to do it? I have not seen a guide for that application. Also, will I lose everything on the phone and have to restore everything if I do it this way?
EDIT: I think I can probably wing mobile Odin, I can't find the new image file to flash. Does anyone know where to find it? I looked on Samsung updates . Com and couldn't find it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Can I ask why you guys want the update anyway? I'm also on stock/rooted/unlocked and all I did was freeze the apps called 'sdm' and 'fwupgrade' and there's no chance for it to update to the OTA. I hear all it has is dumbed down search and a Verizon remote-help sort of thing.
It blocks a security issue and is different framework from what I understand. I would lock the bootloader, unroot, OTA, and then redo everything but will not be around a computer until tomorrow at the best.

After reading the posts on Scott's CleanROM 2.5, that's what I am going to do this weekend. I will feel a lot better knowing I received the most up-to-date software from Samsung as the framework and then customize my phone the way I want. Plus, that's what a lot of the more experienced posters have been recommending, and for a noob like me, it would be dumb for me to not take their advice.
Thanks for getting back to me about the cache wiping question!
No worries, good luck!

This week Verizon announced a promo to be to watch games on the NFL app from the Google Play Store. To my (unhappy) surprise I downloaded the app, opened it up and was faced with the popup saying error and the app only supports Verizon phones.
Currently the ROM used on the Galaxy S III is the Official AOKP JB Build 3. Looking like Verizon has snubbed the rooted user.
Anyone known of a work around or mod to be able to use the app? The promo is great (if running a non rooted device).

You need to go into a stock touchwiz Rom and download it. Backup with data on titanium backup. Load your AOSP/AOKP ROM and restore the app and data. Will work.

I came across the same issue with a few different ROMS. It depends on the Kernel. I'm currently running JellyWiz Hybrid RLS7.
The best way to get it and let's say GPS to work is to flash and go back to bone stock in Odin.
Set up your phone as you normally would. DL the NFL app and run it as normal...
Then root your device and it should work no problem.
maybe you can open up your build prop and change it to match a stock one

It's just actually in the build prop. There are a combination if build prop and supporting apps that are needed. I know in is the Verizon login agent, but I'm not sure on the others.

Hey everyone. I'm running the latest version of Synergy and I've been having some issues. First, every now and then my screen will freeze and the only way for me to correct it is by locking and unlocking my phone. Second, I noticed that after a reboot my battery percentage is no longer showing. I have to go into settings and uncheck and recheck the option to display battery percentage. Lastly, after I reboot I've noticed that my default input method (which is swiftkey) will be changed to the Samsung keyboard. Again, I have to go into settings and change that as well. Does anyone know of any fixes for these issues? I've reflashed synergy several times and I still have the same problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For SwiftKey back it up with titanium Backup delete the app and then restore it, you won't have that problem anymore.
For the 1st one it really depends on the kernel you are running, you try various kernels in the original development section for this device.
As for the percentage I am unaware of that as I do mot run that rom.

I was stock before synergy. When you flashed this rim it gives you the option to do a superwipe. I did that plus I wipes cache/dalvik/and performed a factory reset before doing the superwipe. I'm not sure on how to get 10 points so that I can post this in the synergy thread.

You can always try since all phone play on kernels differently first try a 25 step and keep going up once you see the freezing stop, but keep in mind some kernels may not be for your phone so it's always good to experiment with other kernels to find your best battery and performance results.

Thanks for the suggestions. Where can I find other kernels? I'm going to play around with the ziggy kernel to see if I can fix the freezing.

You have two of the best in titanium and supersu. Greenify is another good one also. I'd suggest a file manager also like root Explorer or even root browser free from the play store. RE is however not free. It's mostly a personal preference

Alright, I just noticed that my flash counter is somehow custom. I haven't flashed anything, I'm still on stock. I noticed it first happened with Wanam Xposed when I rebooted it for the first time with it so then I uninstalled it. How do I change it back to official, or does it matter even though my warranty is expired?

You could use triangle away to reset it but your not under warranty so it doesn't really matter

Then again neither am I with my S3 so I could not really care less
I use Wanam and xposed and I have noticed some conflicts with apps but sometimes that happens. Xposed tends to mess with stuff all the time

Ahh, oh and I figured out you can change the system status to official with Wanam Xposed. It's under Security Hacks but I'm just gonna leave it as custom (box unchecked) since it doesn't matter anymore.

Xposed is very volatile. In my experience Xposed runs fine as long as Wanam isn't in the picture. I said screw Wanam at 2.7.3 once it started fc all my apps. Had to nand to recover. But if you're on a stock OTA...I understand a flashoholic has to get a fix somehow lol

That's for sure. I had Wanam installed but never really used it. I use a few here and there until I find I have no use or don't actually use them at all

I hope I'm not hijacking this thread. I plan to towelroot my fully updated and locked down s3. Like you I was wondering what to do next. Backup sounds good. Do I need busybox? Will using titanium backup give me the ability to restore my phone if something terrible happens? Can I backup my backup to my pc in case my sd card gets corrupted?

Furthermore, which supersu should I get? There are several on the play store. What bloat ware should I get rid of, and how?

I'd suggest supersu and supersu pro and pro of course isn't free but really worth it.
Here is supersu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
And SuperSu Pro
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu.pro
Titanium backup also is a great app along with the pro version which in the long run is well worth it.
I'm not sure about busybox and titanium however, I'll leave that to someone who knows

Well, I am moving in that direction. Today, I revived what I perceive to be "bloatware". My (now rooted and superusered) es file manager was able to block the startup of some pesky "system" files that seemed unimportant. Examples are Yahoo news and stock daemon.

Re: ROMS, mods, and kernels.
Hey all, I've been a long time Samsung user. Started with the S2 to the S3, Note 2, S4, Note 3, and S5. I missed custom kernels from my Thunderbolt days. Since I am new again to HTC... any ideas or opinions would be cool!
I got S-off and permanent root. Now what?
Thanks in advance for opinions and help!

I don't use a custom kernel because I was getting battery drain on my last one and just stuck to stock. If you want to really fiddle with a rom use viper, that's all I've got running and it's fantastic

My wife uses viper. Myself I used it back in the day but not in a long time just don't seem to work as good for me as other's. Viper is good if you don't know how to edit or mod anything you know. Badseed is nice as the whole ROM is inverted big plus for me that is.

I used to run inverted on my S3 all the time because of the battery saving it provided for the amoled display. Since this is a super lcd display, that's a none issue, and I'm trying to run everything white just because I can.
I'm still running stock because it's so quick. On my S3, stock touchwiz was so slow and buggy I had no choice but to install a new rom.
However, there are many more roms available in the international m8 forum correct? Is there a way to tell if they'll work with our phone? Or do they have to say it's specifically compatible with the Verizon variant? The last thing I want to do is flash something and have it missing the CDMA band needed to get data. Also would super CID basically allow flashing of any rom we wanted.

They'll say if they work for Verizon or not. SuperCID would allow you to flash any carrier Rom, but I doubt you would get data or anything, maybe 1x...that's more for like if you want to take your phone to t-mobile then you would be able to flash a tmobile Rom and be good to go (whether you get LTE or not on tmobile is a diff story).

Yup, stock rooted. Love it. I don't usually flash too often anyway. Just want something as stable and bug free as possible. So I'm thinking I'll probably end up running bonestock or cleanrom. I'm also extremely intrigued by the gpe rom.
I'll start flashing soon, but I generally don't like flashing too often.

Are you on the old firmware or radios still? (Which I really hope you say yes as if so you can help out a lot of people by doing me a favor)?.....or have you updated to the new firmware 1.55.....myself I hate pretty much all google apps besides chrome an I don't really care for that just my backup browser so the gpe ROM is very well put together by @digitalhigh . I have flashed it just to see how it ran but google everything an no blinkfeed is a total bust for me..

Plus I ran bonestock for a while at 1st. I have tried all Roms an that is the best stock ROM he has lots of things enabled VZW hides. Only thing he is missing is eps mode but that is so easy to add via XML ...all you need to do its add another line for a quick setting tile like the rest of them an use value 30. Reboot an then your bone stock will have everything you need plus on the house teathering.

Nope, I don't have the original firmware.
I think my sister also updated hers.
Andy has done fantastic work on his roms since his S3 days. He does a great job adding in hidden features and keeping the rom as stock as possible. Really hope he continues developing for this device.

No a lot of people r asking in my firmware/radios thread I started are asking for old radios cause they were stronger for them. With a pull from a phone that still has this we can make a flashable old radios. An some else wants the old firmware to create another safety net for everyone.

Got it, I think a friend of mine is upgrading soon, if he gets an m8 and it isn't updated out of the box I can pull it from that.
