[ROM][MOAR][MK3] v9.0.1 / 50+ Mods / Morphology / Your theme your way [3.9.14]

[DarkAngel]

Always look at the "System Update" info before installing. Also you mean MK3 right?


If you have your App Data Synced to Google then there should be no reason why it should not download and sync your data to your device....... Unless that is not the type of data it syncs, then your luck has run out. Also, do not restore a Nand backup from a previous version. It contains everything from the previous version bootloader to include the cache, data, recovery, and system info. Now all this was depending on what you picked to back up.


If you must or require extracting data or files from a previous Nandroid backup you made, you can use an app called Nandroid Manager ( just search for it here by member H3R3T1C or Google Play ). You can physically go into your backups and extract APK's, files, etc. Now where you have to go and look for your info, that is up to you to find it or find out where the game backups are stored.


Since you are now ND8, your are there and there is no going back. You can flash Custom Roms from previous as long as they do not include the older bootloader and as far as nandroids are concerned, you can restore a Nandroid that includes your current or the newest Bootloader with an older Rom saved with it ( that has been my understanding since day 1 -- correct me if I am wrong anyone....) .


I have yet to brick any of my phones doing it this way and they are all on the newest Bootloaders.

Thank you. I'll try that nandroid manager see if I can find it.
I don't think I gave the phone enough time to sync the app data and I essentially "overwrote" it with the new game data that first popped up.
I'll play wtih it and thanks for the explanation of the nadroid back up and bootloader. I suspected as such but needed confirmation.

Moving to S5 ...need advice

Long time MOAR user bit long time since last flash. I know many have gone on to S5 and I seek your advice.

First, I have researched how to prepare my S3 for sale and find too many methods with mixed reviews. I am currently on MOAR 6.1 mk3. Can someone who has done this point me to the easiest and most current way to do this?

Second, before accepting first update on the S5, should I do anything to avoid KNOX or just go with it and root afterwards.

Any other sage advice would be appreciated.

As for wiping the phone, I Odin stock (latest, which is NJ2) and then do a Factory Reset and wipe the internal SD.

Why not leave it with MOAR doesn't it double the phone value? [emoji6]

Depends on who you're selling to, some people won't but it if they know it's been rooted.

No way. Clean Odin flash of stock will sell a phone much faster than any custom ROM. Especially one this old.

 

[bilgerryan]

Either way, formatting the internal SD is what people generally don't know to do. If you don't it can leave quite a bit of personal info on the phone.

I've heard encrypting followed by factory reset is also a good way to make sure none of your data can be gleened.

I don't have much experience with that, but I've heard of a couple people getting locked out of their phone when encrypting.

I have too Ryan. That's definitely something to research if he chooses to do it.

I would follow the steps mentioned above and Odin the NJ2 tar, then do factory reset. As for the card, I would pull it and use a computer to wipe it. A good old reformat will work. He can put it in the phone and wipe it again as an added measure.

I wouldn't even worry about installing a custom recovery and rooting. As mentioned above, many people won't touch a phone that's been rooted. It's best to return it to stock and sell it that way. :thumbup:

Hi, not sure what I did wrong. I had installed MOAR on my Verizon phone and really liked it. I tried installing it on my friend's Sprint Galaxy S3 and lost all data connection and phone signal. I wiped everything, installed the recommended modem and Rom and rebooted. No signal whatsoever. So I restored the backup I had done and still didn't have a signal. Tried going into advanced signal status app to turn the modem off and back on, but it said "unknown" and would not allow me to turn off. Ultimately I had to Odin to stock. Will reroot when I get home from work, but would like to install this Rom. Any ideas? I searched around but came up with nothing. Thanks!

Usually the first thing you want to do after installing a new rom is to update prl and profile. If that doesn't work you should try ##72786# on your phones dialer and the phone will reactivate itself.

Preserving the MNC MCC code.

I love this ROM! I am trying to get it to maintain the MCC/MNC numbers, and preserve the CSC info after a flash. I have noticed (Im using Boost Mobile BTW), with a clean vanilla Boost Mobile full restore, my MCC/MNC in my APN settings are 311/870 respectively and my CSC information is BST/VMU instead of SPT.

Whenever the CSC information is SPT the MCC/MNC numbers are 310/120. now these numbers work, and of course I alter the APN information so MMS will work, but I have stability issues with my 4g data and Boosts back-end data logging accelerates my usage making it seem I have used more data than I have.

I have tried many iterations of installations with modems, CWM, script fixes, and the like and have been unsuccessful with having this rom on my S3 and keeping the BoostMobile programming information. I have tried using Nandroid Manager for restoring certain points of system data but it has not worked for me with THIS phone, although it has worked with others. as a matter of fact, the nandroid manager app sends this phone into the 'this program has force quitted' problem and I end up having to ##RTN# the phone to regain functionality. and I only have Titanium free, not pro.

I will keep trying cause I think the rom is da bomb! and I know eventually the solution will reveal itself. but I am asking if someone has already done this. my google-fu is strong, but I have not located a solution for this issue. any help would be hot!

Holding my breath!

This is my first ROM ever, and I'm losing my mind worrying that I left something out while I wait​

MOAR makes it easy to use custom images for your pulldown background, and statusbar.
I wanted to give you all some more detail of how to do so...

First off, when you install the ROM, it will also create a 'moar' folder on the root of your internal storage. I placed the folder there so that you would have easy access to it when plugged into a computer also.

• From a pc, look here: Phone -> moar
• From the stock “My Files” explorer, look here: All Files -> sdcard0 -> moar
• From Root Explorer, look here: sdcard -> moar or mnt -> sdcard -> moar
• Obviously the directory path varies based on how you access it, but I can assure you that the 'moar' folder is indeed there

Recommended sizes:

• statusbar.png -> 1280x70 pixels
• pulldown.png -> 1280x1280 pixels
  

• 
  In order for the pngs to work in landscape mode, they all need to be 1280 pixels wide. If you don’t care about landscape mode, 720 wide will work just fine.
• If you are creating a pulldown (for example) with a static image surrounded by transparency, the width also won’t matter.
• You will need to restart the phone for changes to take effect. A simple 'Hotboot' will work as well

Please feel free to share your creations on this thread!!
Also, there is an existing thread ->HERE<- containing some awesome work, by some awesome folks.
Plus a great post and template ->HERE<- by @erikalin to help you design your own custom statusbar..

Installed this in July, and I've only tried one other ROM. I like this one, but my screen mirroring doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to fix it? I am a noob, so I don't know anything sbout writing anything or putting codes. I have twrp and am currently using this rom. Please share any helpful information. Also, I've tried all 3 kernels and am on the sprint gs3 with virgin mobile

May I ask what you are trying to mirror to? Smart TV, Xbox, Chromecast, etc?

Sorry, its a Hisense, and my mirroring worked before I installed this. I've tried the app for my tv, and even did a factory reset on my tv to make sure it wasn't a problem with saved information from my old os.

Well it's been a long time since I've picked up my s3 so I can't speak on the ROM but I did have a couple apps to recommend that may save you some headache. First there Google Cast (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app) which is free and it has a cast screen option which worked wonders for me back in the day. Played many of movies through it to my TVs. Then there's the paid app Allcast (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast). There is a trial period where you can try it first but this is my go to app now. Sorry I can't help you on the built in features that aren't working anymore but maybe you'll like one of these alternatives. Best of luck to you

PS, this was the best and only ROM I ever ran on my s3 so nice choice. Still following these guys and their development. They're great.
