    Post Best Sprint SGS3 custom ROM for general Android use?

    Man I've been out of the loop for a while with my non-rootable Note4--I didn't even know Cyangenomod was forked! I see they just released a nightly on 4-3 so I'll try that. Small problem is that I encrypted the phone and now I see the stock ROM just reboots when I try to decrypt it without...

    Thread Best Sprint SGS3 custom ROM for general Android use?

    I'm looking for the best custom ROM without worry about how it'll work as a phone. I've been using a Note 4 for a while but as it's AT&T and locked I'm limited on what I can do with it. My SGS3 has always been a reliable machine for what I use it for (mostly handheld emulation--ePSXe...

    Which update are you trying to do? Try re-downloading the file and/or check it with a MD5 hash, which someone here could give you if the download site does not (androidfilehost DOES). Edit: Utility for Windows from Microsoft for MD5 - search Microsoft's site/KB for "File Integrity Checksum...

    Post Updates for NOTE4 form server with installation instructions

    5.01 to 6.01? I'm all the way back on 5.01 -- baseband ending in C04 -- as I don't use this phone with AT&T and thus never get OTA updates. Can I easily upgrade to Marshmallow, keeping data, or would it be simplest to do a method that wipes data?

    Thread How to do full device encryption with custom recovery and 5.0+?

    A while ago I posted a workaround to use custom recovery and full device encryption and it seems like it's STILL needed, meaning I can't use TWRP, unless someone has found a ROM that has working encryption with TWRP? I've tried a few ROMs so far, as well as the latest stock ROM (NJ2 - 4.4.2)...

    Post [ROM] [4.4.4] SlimKat (d2spr) Stable 9.0

    So 8.6.1, the last d2lte weekly, doesn't work with mobile data for Sprint with MD8 modem; nor does 8.4, with or without a custom kernel. IMEI was fine. However Carbon ROM Nightly 10/20 works just fine for me for everything --- phone, wifi, texting, mobile data, etc. --- and I think you two both...

    Thread Workaround: how to use full device encryption with custom recovery and newer ROMs.

    Starting with Android L/Lollipop/5.0, full device encryption will be enabled by default, and for good reason. However, we slightly more security-conscious/paranoid SGS3 users have had problems for a while with using custom ROMs and keeping our encryption, as the main custom recovery with support...

    Post GPS problems 4.4.4

    I also had this problem on a slightly older version of Carbon, but the latest 10/20 Carbon nightly had working GPS for me. (Carbon is largely based off of CM)

    Yes, after I posted that, and after I had problems with a different kernel, I tried your build and indeed wireless does work! I had originally tried it on SlimKat 7.0 but WiFi was not working there, however on SlimKat 8.6.1 Weekly I had no trouble. However, as someone mentioned NDC, I am in fact...

    Hey, has anyone gotten WiFi working on this yet, or are we waiting for Ktoonz to come back to us? I love his kernel, but I want to use some newer ROMs than July =/ I'm on ND8 and tried several SlimKats and Carbon ROMs (d2spr) and they both wouldn't do WiFi once the KT747 kernel was flashed.

    Success with Carbon Nightly 10/20 Here's my d2spr (Sprint) experience: - Carbon Nightly 10/20 + Quantum Kernel 10/11 worked with GPS for me. Tested GPS, Wifi, Mobile Data, SMS/MMS, Phone, all OK. No immediate reboots. I'm on ND8 modem. - Philz did not flash the latest stable SlimKat for me, so...

    Post [ROM/KERNEL][4.4.4/5.1.1] Quantum 5/28

    Indeed, flash went OK and I confirmed phone, SMS & MMS, and mobile data all work on my d2spr SGS3 (MD4 modem) and everything seems fine except for the bug which disables GPS like everyone else has encountered. Now I'm kinda lost since the last kernel I used --- KToonz's --- had "KTweaker", which...

    Post [ROM/KERNEL][4.4.4/5.1.1] Quantum 5/28

    Sorry to slightly hijack, but will either the kernel or ROM work with Sprint (d2spr)? PwnCakes released an older version of Quantum specifically for Sprint, but hasn't updated it since the switch to Carbon.

    Thread [Q] KitKat Custom Recovery Decryption?

    After religiously backing up everything I could, I'm about ready to wipe my SGS3 and put a new custom ROM on it. The reason I need to fully wipe the SGS3 is because I require disk encryption on the SGS3, and no TWRP version was able to successfully decrypt my phone, nor Phil's; I figure I...

    Thread [Q] Looking for a keyboard dock w/ battery that can charge the tablet.

    I really liked this about my TF101, but I want a newer model tablet now that the screen is cracked on my TF101, and I don't like the newer Transformers. Is there any sort of keyboard dock outside of the Transformer line that can also charge the tablet using a battery in the dock?

    Thread Can't boot directly into recovery, but download works (bad bootloader?)

    After trying out one of GideonX/andrewk's unofficial 4.4.2 (KitKat) OmniROM builds (with factory reset beforehand as always), I found myself unable to boot directly into recovery mode using the same button combo as always (hold volume down), not even getting the blue text or boot loader menu.

    Post on old sprint sero with s3 and want to get lte coverage

    When I ordered my SGS3, Sprint was happy to upgrade me to "SERO Premium" for a total of $39.99 + misc fees (less than $50 total per month), which nets me the same basic plan as before( 500min, unlimited texts, unlimited data), but now with 4G. Also note Sprint is the only big carrier with full...

    Thread [Q] Has anyone actually used encryption in JellyBean or higher?

    Ever since I started using custom ROMs over a year ago, I've had problems getting the builtin Android dm_crypt (full disk encryption) working on JellyBean and up. Usually what would happen is that it would say it's going to reboot, then do nothing (just sit at the Android logo it shows), and...

    Thread [Q] Best MultiWindow Custom ROM for Jellybean/KitKat?

    I've been a bit jealous of the stock TouchWiz ROMs with their MultiWindow, even if it is rather limited, but I still like the other features of non-TouchWiz. Any suggestions? I'm especially interested in ones developing KitKat builds. I might even give up my Ktoonz kernel even though it kicks ass.

    Thread [Q] Can't seem to encrypt with any ROM, reboots instead. How can I troubleshoot this?

    I've been trying for a while now to get my TF101 re-encrypted since I went to Custom ROMs, with no success. I even went as far to go back to stock non-rooted ROM (applying the updates one-by-one like you're suppose to) and it's *still* either rebooting or doing nothing when I select "Encrypt...
