I finally rooted my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 which is on 4.4.2. I got Greenify, SuperSU, and Titanium Backup. What are some recommendations or things that I should do now that I am finally in the Rooting Club

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

I was able to get Root Explorer from Amazon Appstore a week ago when they offered it for free. I got the xposed framework and have been messing around with modules. Some of them say I should backup my android software before doing anything but how do I do that?

That is pretty neat! But whats the point of being able to make a nandroid but not have the ability to restore with it? Here is a working version of safestrap for kitkat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314 with that you can backup and restore or restore from that neat app.

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?

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

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.

Very true, not going to complain too much and all I had to do was drop a few files. I renamed all the other folders/files it was supposed to overwrite so all is good, didn't need to take a nandroid or anything. Pretty nifty feature to have and takes stock rooted one step closer to JB.

EDIT: Google Now is located under just Google
So here is what I found by trying to stop battery drain caused by the media storage+heating etc. I Of course can't guarantee this working for everybody but I tried this with 2-different JellyBean ROM's twice and it worked all 4 times on my device :victory:
This will have a few Reboots so bare with me. (because I believe reboots make a difference)
For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8
1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice
2. Place on SD card
3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM
4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache
5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)
6. Boot device
7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot
8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"
9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache
10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.
11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)
12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.
13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!
Hope this was helpful and will work for most of you early JellyBean users. :fingers-crossed:

Are you all letting the media storage run for a few hours before trying this? Mine ran for like 2 hours on the charger with power save on, then it started deepsleep and has been fine sense.
The reason. I believe, it makes clips for all your videos that play in thumbnail view in the gallery, and indexes and thumbnail all your pictures. It's normal

When you installed CR 4.0 what items did you select? I think it may have to do with what apps are installed more then anything else.
Basically, install the bare minimum and see if you still have problems. Maybe it is something is getting installed in your process that is causing the problem.
I would leave off "adfree" for sure as well as anything else that effects media.
Launcher: only install one launcher(TW. If you want to add apex or Nova do it from the market after. I am using Nova but from the market.
Samsung Apps: left them all off.
You can always add on after you fix the issue.

Use this.

Not possible.
You can root though, and disable system apps that could be causing you problems.
I'd download wakelock detector or better battery stats and look for wakelocks. Sometimes disable a few rogue apps could solve some problems.

Use the safestrap and install one of the modified versions of the 4.3 . I am having great battery life and good signal with old&slows version.

That's usually from bad installation procedures and not wiping correctly.
Safestrap is a modified twrp recovery that allows you to load custom roms. You can load any 4.3 touchwiz rom in the development section with it. You shouldn't have those rebooting issues you did before, and it sounds like pretty much everything will run better for you then the stock rom you have now.

No, Safestrap makes slots for different roms. Your original rom remains untouched.
You're going to have to read up on it and understand what you're doing. Put a fair amount of research into it, it's not terribly difficult but it is a different process.

I guess I'll assume it is...and I'm supposed to download a 4.3 ROM to go with it. So I'll get on it.
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.
Stock 4.3 OTA VRUCML1 rom
Stock 4.3 OTA VRUCNC1 rom
Safestrap
Safestrap Thread
Custom Roms
AllianceRom
Wicked Sensations Rom
MOAR
CleanROM 8.2 Core Edition
Samstock
Slapnuts
I535 Mostly Stock
Stock Rooted ML1 Rom
Theming and MODS
Xposed may be included in some roms, check before installing. Always Nandroid before installing mods or themes.
Xposed Framework
Collection of Xposed Modules
Flash in Safestrap
Inverted themed apps - Gunthermic
Inverted themed apps - camblue
All Backs Black Theme

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.

Ok thanks. Looking at these great roms makes me consider going back to tw.

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.

It was mentioned a long time ago, I'd search the q&a section. There are a few threads directly related to that issue.

I have and tried everything that was mentioned. It has something to do with gapps. I never had this problem before.

I appreciate that but I tried this method and it did not work. It is something simple I believe I am overlooking.

I really did search about this problem. I do not just ask questions because I am too lazy to search and read. Lol btw I appreciate this list. Looks good csnt wait to try some of these once I get my gapps working.

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.

If you read the description it tells of a way to keep certificate without the lock protection. I can verify that it works.
