[UNOFFICIAL] ROM Status Thread (VZW SGSIII)

---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
The purpose of this thread is to keep people updated on the status of various ROM's for the VZW SGSIII, because although the search button is our friend, sifting through pages of progress is cumbersome for a few of us. This is not a babysitting thread, though - I'm not posting hundreds of links to different pages and answering ROM tech support questions ( at least not all of the time ). If you post pending issues with the ROM, we can get them here and also post work arounds and fixes in a centralized area so as to not clutter the ROM sub forum. This thread will have THREE major parts.
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------

I will be adding more ROM's as they come and as I have more time to. At night when my wife and daughter are passed out, I test these ROM's extensively. I also decompile and check everything out, just to see what might make one tick. You can post any questions you have here, and this way the devs have a centralized thread to look at where major concerns can be posted and fixes/updates/patches can be relayed just incase you missed a reply/skipped a page using the xda mobile app/etc.

Part 2: Complaints, Workarounds and Fixes
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
Q: I lost my ability to do direct call from text after flashing this rom, and a theme.
A: I'm willing to bet you didn't realize the stock mms was replaced by the AOSP version. Luckily for you, forum post #298 in the Jellybean Domination v7.2 thread has a stock MMS fix, that is also themed blue.
Q: I flashed paranoid android and i lost complete cellular service, and I have no IMEI! Why would they make a ROM like this?
A: It's a fault somewhere between flashing this rom and K-Exec doing it's job. We don't know exactly whats causing it yet. But chances are if you would have READ you would have heard about this being the number one RISK as of right now, and backed up your EFS/IMEI accordingly. A link on how to do just that is in the first part of this thread.
Q: SynergyROM people said that tethering works and VZW Mobile Tethering is broken. What gives?
A: I could have sworn they included a different WiFi hotspot app that works off of one touch. Look for it
Q: Google Now isn't working. I installed the APK and all it says is initializing.
A: As far as I know Google Now is a jelly bean addition, correct? We are on Ice Cream Sandwich. We can't really expect everything to work. A working google now can be found in the Paranoid Android ROM, which is AOSP and Jelly Bean'd.
Q: The Dev(s) of (variable) ROM haven't replied to me or addressed my issue directly. Whats the point of being a dev?
A: This is not the Devs job. The Dev makes the ROM. The Community flashes, tests, and reports bugs/problems. The dev then finds the time to fix these issues when he/she/they can. You're not a twelve year old in a ROM candystore where every ROM is a Daily Driver until this bootloader situation gets handled properly.
Q: Awesome Beats doesn't seem to be working, help!
A: Just because it's on there doesn't mean it's supposed to work. It's experimental, and some people have given the nod and others the axe. Your model may vary. I do have a modified SGSII version of a beats script I've been working on that i've test flashed on mine that works, and I'll pass that out after some more testing and after I find the creator of it and get his/her permission, at least so I can give proper credit for the original compiling.
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------

Hey guys, this is for you. It looks like confirmation of the efs/imei backup working on more than one person. This comes from Paranoid Android thread. I hope this helps!
It is now.. I have data AND voice. Where previously I did not.
itsmefu is correct. I used the backup from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29201792#poststop
To elaborate, I went from:
stock rom->rooted with root66 rom->made a backup of my IMEI/EFS
I did not know this but for some reason this phone views our internal storage as SD CARD whereas the actual "physical" SD CARD is named EXT SD Card... so when i first backed it up I was unaware of this... but I had used the method I linked to back up the IMEI/EFS. So that there is an EFS.BIN on my EXT SD Card.
I than updated my kernel to the latest OTA->updated my baseband to the latest OTA (I advise rolling back to the previous baseband as this baseband is HORRIBLE...)
|_->downloaded the vzd2 image recovery from this thread->downloaded JB GAPPS->downloaded paranoid droid
|_->booted into recovery using three finger method->data wiped->cache wiped->dalvik cache wiped
|_->installed PARANOID ANDROID-> installed JB GAPPS
|_->rebooted... and my data/voice was broken.
SO:
went back to recovery->nandroided back (^ok sorry i forgot I nandroid before the whole installing process...)
|_->got back to root 66 rom with root.
|_->downloaded terminal emulator
|_->followed the instructions to push the imei/efs back into the phone.
|_->rebooted.
Working data and voice. Got 4g/3g/and VOICE (<-the MOST Important).
Repeated the appropriate steps to install Paranoid Android..
Now i have working data/voice.. 4g and 3g.. Going to roll back to previous baseband though as with this new baseband I'm dropped 4g, 3g constantly at the areas when i had constant 4g and 3g! 
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------
I can't really confirm but I know I had ALOT of zeroes in my IMEI with broken data and voice... so I'm pretty sure I had it, as I lost connection to network in total.. basically a broken phone but a working wifi tablet? haha.

Please update and say that the backup is at least working.. so it is a verified backup in a sense. So people won't be as scared as before since then the backup was a HUGE if. I can verify this because I made the backup, lost data & voice compeltely, and than rerolled backup and now have a working phone!

May want to make sure it's confirmed on more than one device and total IMEI loss before adding to the main post.
Rather clutter than people flashing and borking phones because of bad info. Mods delete this after a solution has been found and then no more clutter.

Yayyy clutter to arrange clutter....... stupid...

Are you talking about the lift to call motion here? If so, that has worked for me on both versions of nosympathy's ROM as well as the most recent synergy ROM.

Pretty sure if the stock MMS gets replaced by a theme/ROM direct call gets borked.

Didn't say it was won completely working, but it's better to have a backup then it is to flash and then be pissed off. One if the main reasons I made the thread is just so people can be aware. There are plenty of roms and same day developers and assholes and trolls, but we need more people helping instead of demeaning. At least now they can look and SAY OK, there is a huge warning in red regarding k-exec and AOSP Roms. Instead of people dev bashing it can help. Also I don't consider this thread clutter.

It should work on any rom based off of mine. Synergy is one of those.
He is posting it mainly because there are some themes out there that default the stock ICS mms.apk instead of the TW secmms.apk that is in my bases. No one had a working deodexed secmms.apk until I released my first base.

Absolutely. Before no sympathy it's safe to say we were stuck, in a way. His tremendous work happened after these themes were being created, and people were blaming the ROM and that's clearly not the problem, and unfair.
Great work by the way no sympathy.

Thats why I suggested the OP to update the thread with the backup to be at least confirmed working for more than 1 person-the orginal OP of the backup efs thread and me-so far... Because than at least people will be less afraid. They still have to be cautious as even getting root is not 100% safe if you don't follow anything to the T.

Well said slic!

Thanks glad you agree with me! Because apparently Farabomb thought it was clutter... which in my aspect I think at least having it worked twice should count as a fundementally WORKING backup vs. a "THEORETICAL" backup... Because realistically till this happened to me we only had one case which was the OP of the EFS thread.. so it wasn't only in theory that it would work.
And i'm pretty sure for a 15 numbers string theres only one way of messing this up..
Btw, thanks Chad for posting what i wrote in the other thread up. And my apologies if it's a bit long, people said they wanted a detailed transcript so I did that..

LOL!
I'm glad it's long. The way people work on xda sometimes, long descriptions and transcripts are needed. I want everyone to work together, because all we will do is benefit!

Slic|<, my comment was in response to the post below me. Sorry if I offended. I was in irc trying to find out if it was just you that came back. I just didn't want people flashing madly without a proven solution. I flashed aokp without issue but I was still wary of trying any other ROMs without a working backup.

Oh.. sorry than. Cuz the two sentences seemed to go hand in hand lol.. And it's cool man. I'm not in IRC. I'm at work lol.. no IRC on government comps! :silly: Yeah that's why I told the OP to post that the backup was working but as already stated FOLLOW EVERYTHING TO A T AND YMMV since that part of the info hasn't changed lol.
Well you can try paranoid android rom now with no worries <--less worries- since I was the unofficial guneai pig... thank god I fixed it though lol. I also just got my 4g working again, had to reset my radio to LTE/CDMA/GSM it was set to GSM/CDMA auto. Reset it with the phone info app. Now i can see if it's better than the last baseband.
Will keep you guys updated.

Hey Galaxy S3 users!
I wanted to share a ROM I am starting to build, it’s in its infant stages(notice version 0.3) so this ROM isn’t for everyone.
I wanted to build a ROM for especially for noobs, for those of you who are just getting into the game. I do receive a ton of emails from noobs being totally disappointed after trying advanced ROMs like CM9/CM10. But those custom ROMs aren’t always meant for noobs and beginners who are just getting into Android rooting and ROMs so I wanted to build a ROM that gives you extra features without sacrificing stock ones so they can slowly transition to other great custom ROMs already here on XDA.
Anyways, if you have any suggestions and you are a total boob and want certain features added/removed, let me know and will work on the next versions.
Thanks!
Video overview of v0.3 here:
http://galaxys3root.com/verizon-gal...rom-v0-3-for-rooted-verizon-galaxy-s3-app2sd/
Features
- Built off Stock ROM (USB Kies and everything else works from stock)
- Jelly Bean Boot Animations
- App2SD Hack (Allows you to use 32GB/64GB app storage!)
- Custom Bootanimation
- Google Now
- GREAT battery life, no weird heating issues.
- Init.d Support
- Hacked Native Wifi hotspot
- USB Kies support
- 4-way reboot
- Speed tweaks for WiFi
- Power saving features
- Graphic acceleration for your photos/videos
- Deodexed/Zipaligned
- SuperSU
- More coming soon! (Let me know what you really want!)
- I left all bloatware on for now (slowly removing one by one, please tell me which one you think absolutely isn’t needed)
ChangeLog
v0.3 Added Init.d support for kernel and App2SD Hack
v0.2 Added Custom Bootanimation support, Hacked native wifi tether/15 toggles blue menu (Thanks to electron73!), 4-in-1 reboot menu (Thanks to scrosler!), and init.d support with insecure kernel (thanks to scrosleragain!)
- Removed some bloatware: Kindle, MyVerizon, and Yahoo widgets. Will keep removing more slowly.
v0.1 Based off Stock VRALF2, Jelly Bean Animations, GoogleNow, speed tweaks for WiFi, power saving features, and graphic acceleration so your photos/videos should be higher quality.
How to Install
From v.0.2 and on, YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! Unlocking bootloader is easy, please see video tutorial here if you don't know how.
Download:
http://galaxys3root.com/highonandroid-galaxy-s3-rom/
To change boot animation, download your favorite boot animation at http://AndroidBootAnimation.com, then use ES File Explorer, enable Root Explorer and Mount in settings, and place bootanimation.zip in /system/media directory.
*Note – This ROM is for NOOBs and for those of you who want to stay stock but get better performance/features over stock ROM.
P.S. I support the noobs. We were all once noobs asking the dumbest questions in the world, no there’s no such thing as a dumb question, that’s how you get smarter. Without noobs, we wouldn’t have any experts.

How about you create a rom called "Butt Naked" and strip all bloatware. List the removed bloatware on startup and allow the user to pick and choose the bloatware they want to install. I had a rom on my ASUS Prime that did exactly this.

This is not spam, I'm giving the devs ideas. Both scoot and zedomax asked how they could make roms better and what bloatware users wanted. If you knew better most devs use features from other roms.. why does everyone have to be a **** in these forums. I was just throwing out ideas......
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I support the aroma idea. Aroma installers are awesome. Can be kind of much for new comers though not knowing what to pick. I don't think it suits this rom very well. Something like getting the ota installer implemented would be good for this. And possibly a spot on Google manager or rom toolbox which installs the ROM for them with little to no interactions. That might be hard for an up and new rom like this though. I know nothing of the process for any of that.

Idk the ins and outs but the tweak will make the wifi faster than it is now. So say your wifi is at 5mbp/s this will make it 9mb/s. Those are just random numbers though. Idk what the real difference will be.

- Graphic acceleration for your photos/videos
- Deodexed/Zipaligned
- SuperSU
- More coming soon! (Let me know what you really want!)
- I left all bloatware on for now (slowly removing one by one, please tell me which one you think absolutely isn’t needed)
ChangeLog
v0.1 Based off Stock VRALF2, Jelly Bean Animations, GoogleNow, speed tweaks for WiFi, power saving features, and graphic acceleration so your photos/videos should be higher quality.

*Note – This ROM is for NOOBs and for those of you who want to stay stock but get better performance/features over stock ROM.
P.S. I support the noobs. We were all once noobs asking the dumbest questions in the world, no there’s no such thing as a dumb question, that’s how you get smarter. Without noobs, we wouldn’t have any experts.

This is not spam, I'm giving the devs ideas. Both scoot and zedomax asked how they could make roms better and what bloatware users wanted. If you knew better most devs use features from other roms.. why does everyone have to be a **** in these forums. I was just throwing out ideas......

Yes works fine on any verizon gs3. It has stock kernel so will not affect the locked bootloader status. The verizon gs3 security feature only goes off when u flash custom kernels. There is kexec workaround that all the devs are using but wish we didnt have to do that i dont see what verizon has to gain from this other than bad publicity. Well just my thoughts.

we have an unsecure bootloader now, we no longer need kexec. Verizon try as they might can't keep a community this strong down.

I thought this was the forum for Flo/Razor and the original development forum was was Grouper/Nakasi, although I may be mistaken.
EDIT: My mistake, it looks like they've changed the forums, been a while since I was last here.

Check the third post of the thread below, lots of resources for unlocking your bootloader, rooting and installing custom recoveries. Read read read and come back if you have any questions/need any help. There is also a toolkit by Wugfresh in the development section, which is pretty straight forward if you prefer.

I'm trying this one on my Nexus 7 2012. This is exactly what I was looking for (fast and lightweight).
So far performance is great! Good work!

There is some privacy guard to control app permission in the rom?

Ramping up to push out the 5.1.1_r2 update. I'm not really sure what to add, since I imagine my rom to be as close to stock as possible, with only a couple added things. I'm thinking an Advanced Power Menu.

Cool. I'm on a N7 (2012). Will I need to flash a tablet tips zip for the different dpi setting or is this already set up for that? Thanks in advance.

I would appreciate the APM. Also, does this ROM support F2FS or data and cache?

Looks very nice, does it have double tap to sleep on statusbar?
It's the only feature I need thanks!

Wow I apologies this is for n7. I must have to much going on...anyway I've installed rooted and so far loving it!

Thread closed - Source still not apparent in OP.

I'm suspending this project since there doesn't seem to be a big interest in it and I have other things to move on and do. There are plenty of other Roms for grouper. If I see a big interest spark for my ROM to return, I'll look into it. Thanks everyone!

Thanks

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

3Mint
3Minit? Is there any way to remove this? I'm not a big fan of the mod

If you would like. I could remove it and send you a link to download it?
You would still have to flash again to remove it.
Ill do another right now without any tweaks

I would love that as a matter of fact, loving the ROM btw, so much smoother and the battery is magnificent. Also can definitely see the improved camera quality and honestly, one of the best TouchWiz based roms I've flashed on any Samsung. Also I wouldnt mind testing out your attempts to get the Alliance framework into this. Definitely preferred over the 3Minit mod. Another issue is when I choose to edit the java code to mess with the clock the settings force close and i cant get back into it without a fresh flash so beware

Does this trip the KNOX fuse?

I am not really sure. But is working for me so far. It does not have knox so i do not think so.
I am going to try to work on one that is smoother and more stable. Ill try to make it a lag free phone. Thanks for anyone who supports me..
The hotspot does not work on this one for now. I will work on it

The fact that there is no response to say if this is the same as Sac's worries me. And on that I will be switching to Sac's rom and just flashing the kernel separately.

How?

Can't find a tutorial or any info for the installation of SimromLP for my Sprint S5 G900P. Maybe this is a noob question, but can I just install the .zip from custom recovery just like I did for MOAR V7? I'm running MOAR V7 (build MOARV7.0 OA6) (kernel: 3.4.0-3859396 [email protected] #1 Fri Jan 23 12:06:25 KST 2015) which installed from software version G900PVPU3BOG1. I'm on Android 5.0 - do I need to upgrade to 5-.-? and how? My S5 has also been domestically sim unlocked with idoneapps - would it affect that? I'm relatively new to Android but I can follow direction well, just can't find any info on this. I'd love to give this ROM a spin.

More Screenshots Please

I think personally if you don't have a clue what you are doing and you need a manual to flash a ROM and you don't understand the risks that come with it, well then you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone to this extent...just my humble opinion!

That was a snide remark. I'm fully aware of how to flash a ROM; my phone is rooted, domestically sim unlocked and "flashed" to MOAR V7.0 and it works just swell. If your aim is to insult me to make yourself feel better, at least have the courtesy to be face to face or read a little more into things. There is no documentation or support for this ROM on the Sprint S5. I'd like to give this ROM a spin, but I'm not going to just boot into custom recovery and install this ROM blindly. And what's with the multiple useless posts by this guy. Like I said, theres no documentation or support. Don't bother responding as I'm all set.

My attitude is fine as long as Im not feeling as though I'm getting backhanded comments. I think we both have better things to do than this. So lets drop it.

I went ahead and flashed SlimLP. A red outline flickers around screen and flashes every time you hit a button, and the interface is very choppy. I was expecting a trimmed down fast OS but apparently it's still an early BETA and buggy. It does look nice though.

Yeah there are a lot of people here that would rather leave a smart-alec comment than give a simple answer. I did end up flashing it on my g900p and it ran pretty rough. Real rough. So I wouldn't bother with it. But I have found that you can flash your g900p with just about any g900F custom ROM and it will work better for a GSM carrier than a g900p ROM will (much better connectivity). Hope this helps.

How do you actually download the slim ROM zip file

Where can I download it ?

Wow, so many SlimRom post for no reason. This guy needs to stop
