Be kind, be respectful, stay on topic, follow the XDA rules!



Buy me a beer or coffee if you like my work and want to encourage me to do more. A lot of hours have been put into this project. I appreciate all the donations I receive for all this hard work.



Thank you stanguay, chillypsu, jondaman21, geenski, kurplop, radtech777​


Although I did test this rom there is always a chance things can go wrong. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. You should know what you're getting yourself into.
If you don't, please do not flash this and READ, READ, READ these forums until you feel confident enough to do so.​


Thank you very much @DocHoliday77 for making this work for the T999 and testing it. The i747 is my main device right now but I will support this thread as much as I can. This is my main thread though that you should follow too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725750

This is how I envision touchwiz 4.4.2 on my galaxy s3 in the spirit of my favorite rom dandroid by danvdh. If it wasn't for him loserskater and enewman17 I would of never fallen in love with this site as much as I have. Buy those guys some beers!​



Everything looks a bit different now on 3.0. Please send me some screenshots and make a video if you have the time to contribute. Thank you.



Thanks fred0x for making this video of the rom running 2.1.​

==================================



Making a backup is suggested before installation.

1. Make sure you are on at least 4.3 firmware.
2. Full Wipe (Wipe Data, System, Dalvik Cache and Cache. I also suggest an internal sd wipe after backing it up)
3. Flash the Rom.
4. First boot may take a few minutes. Be patient it could take up to 5 minutes to boot and settle in.

Addons, Themes and More on The Box which goes to this site


==================================




- Smart network switch still shows on first boot in the wifi connection. Haven't found the cause yet. DON'T USE IT, it causes issues.
- Wanam Xposed breaks auto brightness. disable the setting in wanam>themes>brightness slider settings.
- Wanam Clock and battery mods do not work.
- Wanam lock screen tweaks shouldn't be used.
- Clock will be dim on first boot till you enter the Extras menu then the color will appear.
- Modified Note 2 and Note 3 camera will FC only on 720p video recording.
- Please report any bugs. If at all possible please try and recreate the issues while running a logcat. The issue can be solved much faster then just telling me "this don't work".
- GPS Fix:
Enter the Samsung service mode by typing this code into the dial pad *#197328640#
Then go to Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD> (Important: don't exit the menu yet!)
Wait 30+ sec
Long press power button and select "Restart / Reboot"
Now check your GPS from any software that may use GPS like "Maps" or "GPS Status"...
If this doesn't fix it use GPS Status and toolbox
If it still doesn't work right you may need to remove your battery cover and tighten the little screws on the back of your phone, This actually fixed mines issues.

Stock Theme Revert: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722645709

Mods

Be warned that when already using 3minnit battery mod you will need to flash the correct 3minnit battery mod zip after flashing the theme you want before rebooting or you might run into some major errors. Before flashing between themes I recommend making a backup anyway especially if you are using a mod like 3minnit battery mod.

So for those of you already running the stock theme looking to update it you will want to be careful to flash the 3minnit battery mod afterward. I have those zips made to remove OGBatteryMod.apk which will probably cause major issues when flashing other themes with files pointing to OGBatteryMod instead of 3minnit.

My Theme that comes with the ROM 3minnit Battery Mod: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722645131

At first glance. It is a very nice ROM. Moving from S3Rx, I didn't have to factory reset and all of my apps appear to be working. No FCs so far. I will give more feedback after further use.

I am guessing that KT747 will not work with this ROM yet?!

Well we found some bugs in the ATT forum caused by things in the ultimate.xml (feature.xml). This update attached will fix these issues for you and add some other features I missed in the other file. Flash then wipe cache and dalvik. Below is my att post quoted also.

Something is also causing gallery to force close. Haven't nailed what it is but I believe it was something in wanam xposed module. If it happens to you wipe cache and dalvik and if it persists disable wanam then wipe them again.

This fix will update your ultimate.xml (feature.xml) with a lot of things that I noticed I missed. I'll have to make another release sooner is all this means. This will fix up a lot of little bugs.

Awesome work so far so good, is there a zip file to revert back to TW mms or I can just replace the Mms.apk with SecMms. apk in system/priv-app? Thanks
Which theme? Its included in the stock theme revert but I can get one up for my theme soon.

System/framework/mms-common.jar needs replaced with the original also.
