Still running the stock 4.4.4 Rom that is rooted. I am s-off already. Finally going to pull the trigger and upgrade my firmware tomorrow and switch roms. I am pretty firmly decided on Cleanrom but wondering if there are any perks of one version over the other? Obviously 4.4.4 vs 5.0.1, but meant more day to day usage. Like battery life, usability, etc.

OK, so I went with 4.0 and for the most part it has been flawless. The only issue I am having is occasionally when in hangouts and I try to bring up the keyboard it exits the conversation and goes back to the selection pane. A hot restart fixes it, but was wondering if there was a permanent solution. I had taken the webview update so uninstalled and dirty flashed 4.0 that in case it was the cause.

The webview thing shouldn't be a problem anymore. It's been fixed. As far as cleanrom 3.0 vs 4.0 goes, I'm seriously considering going back to 3.0. Lollipop is a turd in my opinion. I've been on it since before Cleanrom 4 was released. I've run stock lollipop, Cleanrom and Adrenaline. Since I ran stock for a while and it had the same problems, I know it's not due to the roms. My biggest issues with lollipop is the battery use and handoff issues from 3G to 4G and vise versa. I can live with the battery thing but I've about reached the end of my rope with the handoff issues. I'm constantly having to toggle airplane mode to get data to work. It shows it's connected but any app that uses data will complain about no data connection. Yet, messaging continues to work fine. I had this issue every once in a great while on kit kat but the times were few and far between. Like once a week or once in 2 weeks instead of a dozen or more times a day on lollipop. It gets old. Too late for you now though. Run it a while and see what you think. Maybe you won't have that problem or the battery draining issues. Time will tell.

I probably should add that I've never had the keyboard issue. I've seen others that have (not sure if it was on this rom though). Since I don't see it, I would have to assume it's some app or setting or some such thing that I don't have. I'm not using the stock keyboard. I use Swiftkey but I don't know if that would make a difference or not.
Thanks for the reply. Using the stock keyboard so far. Never really liked Swype but might give it another try.
BTW, I thought I had read going back to 3.0 was okay even though it's KitKat. That not the case?

I've tried both Cleanrom 3.0 and 4.0 as daily drivers.
Lollipop is not at all battery-friendly.
Have my M8 back on 3.0 setup the way I like and battery life is GREAT again.
I can easily live without "new and improved" thanks to scrosler's great rom work on 3.0....
Be sure to save an xlnt nandroid in case you want to go back to it after trying Lollipop.
I have a nandroid of the stock rooted rom. Can I just restore that and boot it up? Then go back into recovery and flash 3.0? Or do I need to change hboot and run an ruu in order to go back?

You could put in the newest firmware: VZWm8Lfirmware.zip, then put in the newest TWRP for M8, then install Cleanrom 3.
Thanks. I actually updated the firmware, then ran that for a few days. Then took a nandroid, did a factory reset and then installed 4.0. So I should be able to just woke it again and restore?

Yes, that ought to work. After a stop at Play Store to update a bunch of things, it should be what you had before.
Thanks. I thought I had seen somewhere that if you wanted to go back you had to flash the older ruu then go to a rom. Good to know.
Might try a clean flash of 4.0 first and then freeze webview to test. ROM was fine for the first week so not sure if an update caused the issue.

I tried all the lollipop roms and I am back on 4.4.4. I think lollipop roms suffer from the start. The stock software base has been known for overheating and memory leaks. I have seen allot of developers try to just fix the base. Do their best and just find no reason to work on it.

OK so it seems my phone has an issue with any rom other than stock as I have tried them all and I have 3 things that happen: a. Phone will reboot on its on or b. The screen will go black with the buttons lit up. Or c. It will freeze on me. This is any rom other than bone stock. Any one know what could be the cause of this?

okay , your phone looks like hard to use.
what version/model is it ? is it possible you flashed GSM ROM to 4G Nexus S ? or 4G ROM to GSM ?
okay , your operator is AT&T , forget it ... it wouldn't be 4G
orginal MIUI and orginal CM7 , all the same ?
I haven't tried any miui roms but every rom I have tried has been for 9020s. I have tried bugles beast, NSCollab, oxygen, we scream for ice cream (which I fully expect to have issues but could not resist trying) , blanddroid, and nexusMV all with the same issue. I even tried several different kernels to see if that would make a difference but it didn't

There's a low chance your cpu can't take any voltages/frequencies outside stock kernel range. Because that black display/lit buttons thingy happens to me if I go too low on voltages or freq.
What are the stock voltage rages? So I can try that theory out?

To further update today I have been running a stock 2.3.7 rom made by drew garen that has been running well with no reboots, freezes or anything but again it is stock with the exception of being rooted and 2.3.7 instead 2.3.4 like my stock rom and the only reason I am running it instead of my actual stock one is for google wallet.

Nah, NS4G is running 2.3.7 as it includes the required NFC chip update to run Google wallet.
OK so even with that rom it has been acting stupid though not as bad then I went to my stock rom and again the same thing so I think I am just going to unroot and take it to best buy because I am pretty sure it is not supposed to have this much trouble
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Well I am completely stock and unrooted now and so far no problems so my question would now be did I just have a bad root or something? Should I retry rooting now that its back to original or should I take it to best buy and try to get them to replace it? I really like playing with rooted phones and trying different roms and stuff but it is kinda impractical when my phone won't handle it...that's why I am wondering if I had done something wrong maybe?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I have the NS4G but I've never had those issues on any ROM
Well after being unrooted since yesterday I am now no longer getting any freezes, black screens, or reboots. My question now is, did I possibly do something wrong in the root process that might have caused this problem?

I did just now using different more up to date rooting kit files then the ones I used before. I am going to stick with the stock rom for the rest of the day just rooted and see if the problem happens and then if it doesn't do like this then I may try running a custom rom and if this does not work I will unroot it again and throw the phone against a brick repeatedly so best buy will take the thing back as I tried taking it back today and i couldn't come up with a good enough reason for them too take it back it seems.
OK update time. Running stock rooted after unrooting and rooting (using a different root kit this time) I am having no issues what so ever and I even tried taxing the CPU by running app after app ran some heavy games and things of that nature with no restarts or freezes, however I tried NSCollab for a little while and it did act up though not as bad as before so I have gone back to stock rooted and everything is fine for now. I may try some other rom later but for now I am happy just to be rooted with no issues with the stock rom. I might try a less modded rom like buggles beast or oxygen net go round though other than not having the notification Widgets and reboot/recovery option when pressing the power button stock rooted does everything I want it too.

I think that problem could be kernel. Have you tried any customer kernels? Previously I had freeze issues and this so called 'morning coma', kernel fixed all those problems
while that could be the issue with that rom I think I have discovered my real problem could be something to do with titanium backup, either the program its self or one of my backed up apps. this morning on my stock rom it rebooted twice so I got to thinking and decided to do a wipe but instead of restoring my apps from titanium back up I just used the market website to send all of my apps to my phone and so far that seems to have fixed the issue. the only apps i did not re-install was amazon appstore (and a few games from there) rom manager, and titanium backup so I am assuming my problem is contained in one of those apps if I am no longer having the problem.
With titanium do you you just back up apps and app data? Or system data too?

Ok people, Here is a couple of Questions for you. My AT&T One X is rooted with an unlocked bootloader however, I am running a stock Rom. I just started getting this AT&T message that is giving me the option to update my software. But! It gives me a choice of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours to remind me if I do not do it now. If I let the update happen, will it crash my phone? Will it take out my root? Permanently ?? I am afraid to update because I have been reading that AT&T has been trying to fix their back door.
Also, How can I stop the reminder from coming back???

I will do that. I have to get up early for work so I will be back on tomorrow night. One last thing though, you said to flash the Rom then the Kernal? I thought the Kernal came first.
Oh and what if I flash the Kernal without updating to the new Rom? The reason I'm asking is that My wife has the same phone However hers is Rooted but not BL un-locked. so if I flash just the Kernal would it work? Then, would it solve the AT&T reminders to upload their Rom?
Sorry for all the Questions, Gary
These kernals are recovery flashable. Meaning from CWM so ordet doesn't matter, technically the Rom will flash a kernel, but some users say one is better than another so just throwing out options. I don think there is a way to get rid.of.the notification unless you could.freeze the updater app with something like titanium backup, or go custom Rom route.

I want to thank you for the recomending this Rom it all went in beutifully! I ended up flashing my wifes phone also.
Today AT&T sent us messages that stated that there would be no more reminders and that if we did not choose to update they would update anyway. So I shut down the phones until I got off work and took out our access cards then turned off Wi-Fi. Finnally when I could this afternoon I started flashing.
Nice, I'm glad it worked out for you. CleanROM lite is nice too, if you want a leaner Rom.

So if I have 1.73 rooted with bootloader unlocked. Can i just install clean rom to update to 1.85? or do i first have to update? If i have to update first is it better to use the Peter's guide post or can i just use bootkeeper and to the ota update?

Okay guys, I have been searching for a comparison between these 2 stock Roms and can't find anything. I have read that the leak is better, but would like to know if anyone has ran both stock and rooted on their phone? If so, what are the differences? I am running the radio and can't tell much of a difference, if any.
If there is a dev that would care to weigh in with any technical differences, that would be great!

It supposed to help with signal reception on the Galaxy S III and may provide better voice quality. No new features!

I've ran both and have not really noticed a difference speed wise. I did notice that my GPS is fixed from the G7 radio. G7 I couldn't connect on the brightest, cloud free day standing on top of a hill. Now it finds me instantly (again). The only other thing I did notice ( and this may have been fixed in the G7 build is when you are looking at your phone and you hit favorites, it doesn't swap the favorites and contacts tabs like it used too. Other than that, phone quality seems the same.
Okay, here is what I did. I don't have access to a PC so I downloaded the Odin image of the HD build and flashed it via Mobile Odin. I wiped the caches and everything appeared to be okay. I started restoring everything and then gaps started force closing, then the message app started force closing. I figured wipe caches again and reboot. Same problem. Wiped again and fixed permissions, gaps seemed to be okay for the short time that I ran it but messaging still wouldn't work. Tried again, still no luck. Tried restoring with Titanium, installation failed so I uninstalled, but it wouldn't reinstall the app. I had to revert to a nandroid to get everything back running properly.
I have not had very good luck with Mobile Odin Pro. It could very well be user error, but I have yet to get it to work properly. Also, in addition to the force closes, I could not get a very good signal. I thought this is strange because I am on build 7 running the HD radio and it appears to give me the best signal that I have had so far with this phone.

ran 5 tests on this and last radio. Average was PRECISELY same. I also literally did not move the phone an inch.

It also contains all the modems available for the phone. There is Odin and CWM flashable formats available.
Flashing via Odin should not trip the flash counter. I really don't know what trips the counter. Mine says 4 but I've done a ton of flashing in the last week.
Just buy a $8 USB JIG to reset the counter or try Triangle Away.
I'm not a dev, only an enthusiast.
I should point out. The HD update is not a ROM is only a modem upgrade.
@OP,
if you did your TB restore settings under all apps and system data that could be why you're having a buggy device. It's best to only restore Apps + data..and not System data with it after an upgrade like this.
As far as performance of the leaked modem goes,I have not noticed any real difference since coming from the G7 Modem. But still it's always good to have the latest..and supposedly..greatest..
Also when using Mobile Odin pro, it's a good idea to acquire the TAR files instead of the ZIP files to do the flashing. Just saying...lol..

Yeah, I knew not to batch restore. I individually restored the apps without the data to attempt to try and avoid any problems with that. Nothing much to restore data wise anyway, I hardly ever play games. My contacts are the biggest deal. I am currently running G7 base with HD modem and it seems very responsive and stable so far. If I don't see any reports of big gains from the HD base, I intend to stay put for awhile.

Hi a week ago from today i got the ATT USA samsung galaxy s3. I rooted it last weekend and yesterday i wanted to be able to use the volume button as a shutter button. I searched this up and found this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844374 im pretty sure i did it wrong because i didn't read the entire post and couldn't find exactly how to. I'm new to all of the android stuff (i previously has an iphone). So idk about the ROMs and other terminology. Bassically what i did was downloaded the zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844374 to my phone. I then turned it off, held the power button, home and volume up. i hit install from zip and installed the file from that link. Idk if i was supposed to or not. Now i cannot use camera. Everytime i click camera nothing happens and it just pops up with "unfotunatly camera has stopped." It also made it say "android upgrading applications started" everytime it turns on. I need to know what to do next please and make it simple if possible. Thanks in advance.

Damn, we'll it looks liked you tried to flash a jellybean camera on ice cream sandwich. Try searching the at&t Samsung galaxy s3 forum for a camera app and try installing that over what you got. I got to wake up for work in 5 hours otherwise I'd try to find it for you.
Worse case scenario go to the forum I said above and find the ariel rom and flash that.
All you would do is download the rom which will be a .zip file. You go into the recovery like you did before.
***Make a backup first by going to backup/restore and clicking backup.*** Once that's done you format data format cache go into mount and click format /system then go to advanced and format dalvik cache and then go to install update and select the ariel. Zip you downloaded. Ariel is a very stable ics rom. I used it for months. It's basically the same thing as the stock att gs3 but without the bullcrap bloat.

***Make a backup first by going to backup/restore and clicking backup.*** Once that's done you format data format cache go into mount and click format /system then go to advanced and format dalvik cache and then go to install update and select the ariel. Zip you downloaded. Ariel is a very stable ics rom. I used it for months. It's basically the same thing as the stock att gs3 but without the bullcrap bloat.

I searched for the camera and couldn't quiet find it, or know exactly what to look for. Would it be possible for me to just upgrade to jellybean now before i do anything else or what and if so how
I mean... It's a possibility you could do the ota update of jellybean (the normal att update) I personally would be afraid to try since you're rooted and have change system files by flashing that... Idk I wish someone else would jump in and and would confirm or deny that because I'm not 100% sure.
Personally I would just flash a custom rom anyway. I'm running the customized "stock" jb rom someone posted in the forum. It's running great and you can flash stuff like the one you originally tried without issue.

I personally would. I'd flash either the ariel rom which is ice cream sandwich. It's very stable with great battery life. Or the new jelly bean rom by enewman17
I've been using that one since last night and it's been running great so far. I was at work all day and I'm at 82% battery life with like 9 hours being on. If you have a microsd card in your phone you should put your data (pictures, music, etc.) on it anyway but you will basically lose all the apps and stuff. So put any data you want to save on your sd and use the instructions I said before to flash properly.

alright well i don't have an external sd-card but ill probably get one soon. I'll save those instructions and do it later so i dont have to worry about losing my apps and having to redownload them. Thanks for all of you help
Don't worry about losing your apps. Your Google account will always save them. And the instructions are the same no matter what rom your flashing. So don't worry. You'll pick it up quick
If you need help just let me know.

I can get to the homescreen but the phone never activates to make or receive calls.
Try downloading again and reflash. I flashed the new cm and it worked fine.

I'm having the same issue. I've got data, but can't make phone calls.
I've tried using Odin to flash a stock rom and still have the same results.
What version of CM did you flash to get it working?
I was using the 10.1.0 from the cm website. They have the new 10.1.0.1 release up now and I have not used that. Everything worked. Just flashed back this morning because I like bonestock rom features

Yup
I went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.0.1 along with the MF1 firmware just a little bit ago and I was having a constant no SIM error. Couldn't get it fixed, wiped everything but the external SD and tired again, changed the LTE mode back, still no go. So I ultimately just flashed back to my backup of CleanROM and rolled back to the MB1 firmware for my cameras sake.
I'll just wait until some more of the bugs get ironed out. I really miss having stable AOSP on my Droid Incredible, I was on CM7 from its initial release till retirement and beyond.
It seems like its kind of a hit or miss type of deal. Some phones work just fine, others, not so much.

Same problem, its just the "stable releases" are jacked up. Flash a nightly and the baseband (and google apps) and you'll be fine.
Oh, and go into settings and change SIM mode from NV to SIM, then reboot. You'll be good to go.
