The Difference? It just may be enough to make the switch.

FIRST!
This ROM looks awesome! Gonna take it for a test run and report back to you!

Doomboss · Apr 20, 2014

Looks pretty good!! Will test run this and report again later

lemonboi5 · Apr 20, 2014

Thanks! and if you want, take some screenies! I did run into a problem with contacts in which I fixed by clearing the cache of the contacts application! Don't know what happened but I will try to fix it in the later updates!

Doomboss · Apr 21, 2014

So, i actually ran into some problem when trying to flash the ROM. I got the "format() expects 5 args, got 3" error (status 7 error). I know this is not your ROM's problem because i also get this error before too when flashing stock ROM. But any chance that you know what is causing this?:laugh: I previously use CM11.

I edited update-script to match 5 args but it gave me another error "set_perm some changes failed".

However, I am still able to boot by flashing a stock 4.3 ROM and then flash your ROM, and now i am playing with your ROM

seems pretty smooth to me, and the contact does force closed when i opened it, and it still force closed even after i clear cache

Do this should work on d2vzw?

Oh yeah.. Did you update CWM through rom manager? The newest didn't work for me.. I installed twrp and it worked perfect

Really not a fan of touchwiz but something about this rom might change that. it' seems smooth a fluid and love the S5 theme to it. Probably will be my new daily driver. As for the contacts it did FC on my first few attempts but after going into recovery with the latest TWRP and going into wipe/advanced cleared both catch and davilk cache and the problem seems to be resolved now. :victory:

So glad to hear that!

Thank you for the feedback! and I'm going to try fixing that issue with the Contacts. I also love how quick the launcher is. However, now I've found the full deodexed package of the S V Rom, there may be more in the near future, but for now I still think its great

I know its probably a long stretch but do you think the S3 could get that new S5 feature "Download Booster" which pretty much combines your mobile data and wifi to speed up downloads.

I will look into that tomorrow! Thanks

I'm going to start adding on more of the features with this next build

Awesome! I though I recognized you from somewhere then it came back to me, you did the Google Play Edition Rom a few months back. You done with that Rom or waiting on a 4.4.3 release?

It's still coming. The 4.3.1 release I'm waiting on a stable 4.4.. The camera seems to always have problems after the third or so closing.. But yeah Ijust need to resync my repos. It's just hard keeping it completely stock because the SIII actually needs some extra settings

shiniyoyo · Apr 21, 2014

I've been running this rom for the past few hours and I must say I am very impressed. One issue is in regards to the accuweather widget. Its very small and the time is in the wrong position. Every time I attepmt to change it with another wkdget, the rom will boot and hang on the lockscreen, not even allowing me to unlock the phone. Could you look into a proper widget that matches the S5 theme please? Apart from that, I look forward to using this as my daily driver

fr3d0x · Apr 21, 2014

leet see how it works thanks...

Galaxy S III (US Variant) S V ROM

I am porting this rom, and so far all is great, but I may need some help if anyone is willing.
All works as of right now, if any bugs please post/PM me!
My internet isn't the fastest for uploading, so if anyone else wants to help build/upload that'd be awesome!

So Far working - Everything on the rom.
Toolbox feature is not included in this version. Hopefully later on..
I'm not the best at building ROMS neither, so if anyone wants to take it on from here, Send me a message! because I really want this ROM to evolve!
This ROM IS built from STOCK 4.3 you will at least need a 4.3 Modem.
DOWNLOAD

P.S. The First Screenshot is if you install Yahoo Weather (Which I like), but feel welcome to keep the Accuweather widget that's on there!

I just downloaded this ROM. It's only around 600 MB big -- seems small for stock touchwiz. My installation failed (did the usual wipes -- dalvik, cache, etc). Did I goof somewhere or should I just wait a for a stable build?

12/16/2014 | 4.4.2 | LikeWise S5 4.2 | NE4

Should I add Samsung Apps back to the ROM?

Yeah, I miss them.

Ehh, Only a few (Please list in thread)

NO.
