It flashes perfect with both recoveries
Thanks. It's been almost 2 years since I've been on AOSP and thought about going back to stock rooted.

Thanks. It's been almost 2 years since I've been on AOSP and thought about going back to stock rooted.
I've used this version before and ran into thr same issue with defualt app selections getting erased after every reboot. How do you fix this? DeOdex opt. Kernel, cwm touch newest, and updated bootloader. This the only rom that causes yhis issue so that I kno. Any suggestion?

Hey edfunkycold
Was goin back through to find similar issues when I found my old posts bout the same issue. Then saw this post, is it recommended to do all three md4, kernel, and firmware; even if you came 4.3. I was on PA newest before the maintainer left then cm 10.1.3 and used frees3 firmware update, does that cover it?
My default apps still get reset every reboot. Only on this rom it never happened on any other.

Lets add to this now. The rom causes my device to forget ALL setting after reboot. Defaults, preferences, etc. Everything.
I haven't read anybody else having this issue. How can I fix this? I came back to stock for some stability now I can't find it anywhere. Please someone assist.

Sounds like a bad download or bad flash. Did you do a clean install?
That's what I thought so im downloading a fresh one on the laptop. I wiped everything except ext. Sd. I've had so many issues trying to get this stock rom to work that I thought it had to be some left over files. So I started completely wiping the device and then manually formatting a second time for safe measure. I come back after trying AOSPA, CM, and Slim; it still does that exact same thing. I'll update and let ya know when I'm done.
Rumor has it that it is supposed to drop on 11/6/2013. I doubt that you will see any leak here or new ROM based off it soon as it is my understanding that they are looking down the bootloader and this will need to be broken before anyone updates a custom ROM.
I wish companies would just leave that stuff alone. I guess they see it as a liability because of people bricking phones and not taking accountability for it. It sucks for the community but the devs are smart and work quickly.
Great Stuff freeza THANKS!
Also, The 4.3 RDF has been at MK3 three for a couple days so who know's?
CNexus is working on a port and is close.
Anyone have a mirror for the:
MD4 Firmware:
MD4 Firmware/modem/baseband update
MD5: EEEAFDBE59CF9C5B492B1A591EC92D02
in the OP. The link isn't working.

Hey been running smooth for some time. Only minor bug is my compass doesn't work in any app. If I remember right, you hit the compass in Gmaps and then the map orients its self to your direction; this doesn't happen. I checked the compass and the magnetometer with other apps, it shows magnetic input but wouldn't register any direction change on the compass.

Why would I want or not want the optimized ROM with with bootanimation, ADB, and init.d support that does the following versus the simply optimized one?
-Set loglevel 0
-Write apanic console 0
-Disable debuggerd
-Disable smdexe
-Disable ddexe
-Disable gsiff_daemon
-Disable reinstallation of stock recovery (even though I have removed the script from the ROM)
-Disable bugmailer bug report
Try to keep the answer civil and at a 5th grade reading level. TIA>

Purely stock files: These files are update (OTA style) zips and are only meant to be flashed on top of purely stock ROMs. They are straight from Samsung/Sprint and I will be posting up 'purely' stock kernel for LJ7 if you're running my stock rooted ROM. Once you have a purely stock system, the update files will flash fine. I use the stock recovery to flash them, but have been told that clockworkmod works as well. I can neither confirm nor deny this. I would stick to stock recovery to flash these anyway though.
NOTE: Flashing these will also update all of your firmware too.

Q: I flashed the firmware, am I fully updated?
A: No, not particularly. The firmware consists of a Radio, bootloader, and a few other updates. These are different from Android updates.
Q: Do I need to flash both the ROM and the firmware?
A: Generally, when a new ROM from Sprint comes out in the form of an OTA, it applies both the ROM and the firmware all in one go. On here however, we do things differently. If every custom ROM provided a radio update, you'd get unnecessary updates to these parts that have maybe already been updated. Also, some people feel as though different Radio firmwares can hold a signal better. So we don't want to mess with your combination. So, in short, it's up to you. To have the full updated status, you'd need to flash both the ROM and the firmware
Q: Cool, but my baseband version says I am updated. Am I?
A: Firmware updates show up as baseband versions here. So it's easy to mistake a baseband version for a ROM version or an update. Don't be fooled. Just because your baseband may be one version, your ROM could easily be another. You generally want to look at "Build Number" if you are stock, to determine ROM version.
Q: Can I use this as a base for my ROM?
A: Of course! You don't need to worry about asking or getting permission. These ROMs all come from Samsung/Sprint anyway so I have no place claiming any sort of ownership over them. Besides, share all the love!
Q: Do I need to give credit or thanks when using this as a base?
A: Absolutely not. While it's a nice gesture and I do appreciate the etiquette a lot of you on XDA have, It is not necessary. Again, these updates are from Samsung/Sprint. All I'm doing is providing them in a 'pre-rooted' manner, and as such, need no thanks for that. We're a community that is about sharing and learning as much information as possible. Do with it whatever you see fit.
Q: Why should I install this if an Odin version is available?
A: Some people just like being able to flash things in their recovery. It's easier, faster, and is just better IMO.
Q: What is a flash counter and should I worry about it when flashing this?
A: Flashing things with Odin won't increase your flash counter. Honestly, I think the whole idea of flash counter increments is a bit blown out of proportion. If you are that worried about your flash counter, Chainfire has created an app that can reset it to 0 called TriangleAway. Flash counter has no impact on performance and I'm not sure if any Sprint technicians will look at that and care. As long as you take the proper precautions if you need to take your phone back to the Sprint Store, such as making sure you have a Stock unrooted ROM on your phone, you should be fine.
Q: Cool, how can I get unrooted from this ROM?
A: Well, there are a number of ways to unroot yourself. Your Superuser app might have the unroot feature built into it, so load it up and poke around in the app to see if it has the ability to unroot you. If it does, you're golden. All you need to do from there is flash the stock recovery from the OP. If your superuser app doesn't have the ability to unroot you, I will provide a zip to flash in recovery that does just that. You will need to flash that zip in the same recovery session as the stock recovery, because once you reboot, the recovery will no longer be custom.
Q: I'm on MB1 or another version, can I just flash this version right on top of it?
A: Yes! Since these are full ROMs, it matters not what you're on currently. Even better is that if you are already on a stock ROM and you're looking to simply update, you will not have to do a factory reset, simply wipe Dalvik, and flash.
Q: Do I need to wipe Dalvik when flashing the firmware too?
A: Absolutely not. Wiping Dalvik is only relevant to ROM software, not firmware updates. Honestly, you don't need to wipe the Dalvik when flashing just kernels either.
Q: Do I need to flash ROM, firmware, AND kernel?
A: Nope, just the ROM and firmware (if you're not already on the latest) is fine. The kernel is provided to those who may want to return to stock after trying out a custom kernel.
Q: Odex and DeOdex. HELP!
A: Well, Odex is what your phone ships with. This is a way to optimize the Dalvik so that it doesn't need to create and/or optimize your system apps/framework. Since it will already be done for you. This does not apply to any apps you install yourself. Those will be optimized by the Dalvik VM automatically. This is generally the best way to go, but is a bit more cumbersome to theme and modify. You can mix and match Odex with DeOdex, but you will need to make sure that you delete any relevant .odex files for anything you install that is tagged only for "deodex" ROMs. For instance, if someone created a battery mod that changes the colors and/or icons of the battery, you will need to delete "SystemUI.odex" before installing it, or it won't work properly, and could even cause FCs (Force Closes) and system instability. Basically, if you are going to go the Odex route, you should stick with Odex mods. This usually is the case for folks who only want a stock rooted ROM and nothing more. DeOdex is what the majority of mods here on XDA and custom ROMs are based on. It makes decompiling, modifying, and changing things much more simpler. This comes with a small performance hit on "first boot" because the Dalvik has to now build entries for system apps. In every day usage you should see no difference between the two after the first boot. You can flash between Odex and DeOdex full ROM versions anytime, and most of the time Android can recognize when a Dalvik wipe is necessary so wiping it yourself isn't necessary, but if you notice any strange issues, wiping it won't hurt.
Q: Can I use custom kernels created for other software versions?
A: Generally, if Sprint releases updates that are within the same Android version family, like what is happening now. MB1 and our current leak MC3 are both based on Android 4.1.2, so custom kernels should work fine even if they are days/weeks old. As long as they were built for Android 4.1.2 you should be fine. But don't automatically think that's the case for all custom kernels. Some ROM versions, such as our leak MC3, include an updated kernel. While we don't know what exactly is updated on the kernel until Samsung releases the source. I can tell you that two things changed in the kernel ramdisk. This may present problems for custom kernels that include their own ramdisk and haven't implemented those changes in them. However, as long as you have a backup handy, it won't hurt to try out your favorite kernel.60Thread cleaned
You all know I am in this thread, I will not put up with flaming, name-calling, or rudeness!
You all should be so damn happy to have this leak that nothing should piss you off.
This will be the only posted warning in this thread. Get along or get out.
Next time flaming will result in infractions.
