You are unlikely to find anyone to help you in the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. You should try posting elsewhere.

Can I flash the lj7 AIO zip to obtain just the modem or will it install something else also? I am on free gs3 and don't want lose custom recovery.

This is a great thread, I think I may have found most of my solution reading through it. Let me start from the beginning:

I was running ICS 4.0.4, stock rom, and rooted. I wanted to upgrade to JB, so I flashed the JB leak. From TWRP I: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flashed rom, flashed modem, flashed root recovery.

Upon restarting I reinstalled Titanium Backup and restored system data, apps and app data. Ever since I've had a problem crop up: at random times (once or twice a day) it will completely freeze up. I notice it when I go to wake it up and it's completely unresponsive. I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds a few times before it finally starts booting up again. (It also somehow killed my 32gb sd card).

Reading through this thread, it sounds like my problem was restoring the system data and app data. My girlfriend has the same phone, and I went through the same process that I did on mine, and she is having the same problem (except for the sd card).

Do you think if I flash the official jb update and don't restore the system data & app data that we'll be free of this problem? Would I have to go through the whole process of factory reset and cache wiping?

You should probably flash with a factory reset. You restored ICS system data into JB and you'll want to get rid of that...

It's a hassle, but well worth it. It's great that you narrowed it down and realized what caused the problem instead of just blaming it on JB.

Question

Here's one more N00B question.


If i do a factory reset from my device, will that restore all system apps, and remove root?

I believe that the answer is no. It will not modify the system partition. This will wipe the data partition and delete all data and apps that you have installed. This includes the data on your internal sd card.

would the stock rom replace deleted system apps?

 

[winterstormhaku]

I'm have two versions of the same Rom, one is an earlier date and one is the latest. I like the previous dated one as a daily driver but the latest one has a few things I want. What files or folders would I need to extract to carry over the splash screen and the notification bar?

Yes. If you flash a stock ROM it will replace the deleted system apps. It will also unroot your phone unless the stock rom has been modified to give root access.

Just got a S3 today, stock rooted running LI3, Ice Cream Sandwich.

How do I get on-screen buttons with stock Touchwiz? I want to do that and remap Home button to camera.

Hopefully this isn't non-noob of a question.

Emoji and JB

Hi....Yes I am a noob and lots of info on here I do not understand at all.

I just got the sg3 with Sprint. Had the evo before and was able to use the emoji plug in with handcent. It wont work with the sg3 now. I researched and saw that maybe JB will fix that. Is this true? Will it not work on ICS? I also saw that JB is out. Will my phone automatically prompt me with the update???? I know I know....stupid questions but hey....that's what this thread is for right???

I just got back from vacation and had zero reception even roaming. Is there anything I can do to force roam on any carrier signal. Don't know if it makes a difference but running cm10.
