Well, I flashed the 9/21 CM 10.2 nightly on my Sprint Galaxy S3 after those RIL changes were merged in. It looks like it has helped, but developed an interesting little bug. It will show my connection as no connection (the hollow signal triangle), yet in phone status it shows I'm on eHRPD and data will work fine. This seems to only happen in a low signal situation. But at least the data is working.

I imagine that will get worked out. The weekend will be a good time to see how this works. Thanks LastInLine for the information on that being merged in!

Edit: lol nope data still seems to be pretty broken. Back to touchwiz.

every now-and-then I hop in here to check if there are any good 3rd party ROM's for my Sprint GS3...thanks for this early warning. I haven't read back too far in the thread recently :effort: but are most people running rooted stock on the GS3's?

Most people run CM or other 4.2 AOSP-based roms, as far as I can tell.

I've been running CleanROM on my Verizon GS3 with a theme that makes it look like AOSP. Solves 99% of my problems with touchwiz, but it is stuck on 4.1.2. Still, running stock gives me the best stability and the touchwiz camera is fantastic.

cmxlog seems to have stopped working. Trying to follow changelogs on the official tracker is obnoxious. :argh:



Did something change with root access for apps? I have AdAway set to autoupdate once a day, but now the update hangs until I hit the notification which apparently lets it get root access and finish.

My GS3 i9300 runs Googy Max Kernel, which allows for dualbooting between rooted stock 4.1.2 and CM10.2. Decisions are overrated. :smug:

So I'm right in thinking that when I get a new phone, I can just upload my Titanium backup to Box, then just download it onto my new phone and all the app data will work like a charm?

Also it's a long shot but the new phone will be the Galaxy Mega 6.3 - anyone running root and a rom on one of those?

HDMI outputs on both the Nexus 4 and Optimus G variants are all over the place in 10.2. To be completely honest I don't think they understand what's going on there - Nexus 4 uses Slimport, not MHL, and I think different variants of the G use slightly different driver revisions and thus aren't compatible across the board. This is a known problem with NFC drivers, for example.

If you were missing an APN you'd have no data connection at all. So no, that doesn't look like it will help with an intermittent problem.

If it's CM 10.2 then the Superuser daemon may be crapping out.

Hoenstly Superuser in 10.2 is kind of janky right now. There's some work being done to sort it out but folks are busy and time and stuff. SuperSU may serve as a reasonable alternative right now, but it does questionable things in the long run.

Data issues are still actively being looked at, so yeah, give it a few more days. I'd be interested in checking myself but it's an absolute hassle to reactivate a d2spr on SERO.

CM 10.1 works pretty well. It's 10.2 that's causing grief the way Android always causes grief for CDMA, Sprint, etc.

Yeah, CDMA is always a pain in the rear end but the latest 10.2 nightly is working well on my Sprint S3 and 10.1.3 was rock solid for me.

Edit: I take that back, 9/26 nightly causes data issues, I'm looking forward to going GSM in a couple of months.

I'd love to hear an EB! braindump on the nuts and bolts, but the short version is that in 4.3 the typical way Superuser worked was broken. To fix it, SuperSU and later Superuser took over the old install-recovery.sh script that ran when the phone started. What it used to do was install the stock recovery (obviously) and the recovery generally had a feature that deleted that file for you if it detected its presence.

That's why when 4.3 came out and SuperSU and Superuser were updated you had to also get an updated recovery which made sure not to erase install-recovery.sh for you because now that script runs a daemon which runs in the background to handle superuser requests. If that daemon were to stop running for some reason, any superuser requests would fail.

As I've never had Superuser stop working I don't really know how to troubleshoot the problem. I doubt there'd be a way to restart the daemon without restarting the phone as you'd need root to access the script to manually run it yourself.

Motorola really did a good job at security on Jellybean in their TI-OMAP4430 sibling devices (such as your Razr Maxx). The only known root method for your phone is to run Linux. I'm not even kidding. Rooting newer devices is nowhere near as nice and simple as the old OG Droid.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/16518-root-motoshare-2-old-bug-new-exploit/

The root method involves exploiting Moto's file sharing app on your phone to be able to push in the su binary & superuser. It all has to be done while executing some command line items as well.

However, once you get rooted just get friendly with Titanium Backup so it can go scrub the bloatware out of your phone. If you ever gently caress up too badly when scrubbing unwanted parts go snag the full system FXZ file and RSDLite to reflash your phone and try again.

Just to be clear, you disabled the apps and they started up again? Not closed, but disabled? That shouldn't be even slightly possible because disabling the app, well, disables it.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
Yes, this happens with Verizon and T-Mobile pre-installed apps at least. They'll re-enable at boot, and I think I even saw them re-enable without rebooting. I'm rooted, so I just deleted the offending apps, but it was pretty annoying. I think T-Mobile MyAccount and the stupid Zynga games thing were two doing it offhand with my SGS3.

It's not like people are going to stop using cell phones, so they're pretty much free to gently caress with us as much as possible within the legal limits. Which they're happy to do in general.

There seems to be plenty of activity at XDA. I'd probably get a CM based ROM if you care about 12 year olds putting hidden malware but you'll never be 100% sure.

I want to ask questions about the Note 2 and kernels/rom recommendations, like if there are any things worth keeping from Touchwiz or if I should just install Carbon like I did for the Note 1, and if I should bother with one of these supposedly amazing custom kernels. Can anyone please talk to me over PMs? The XDA developers forums is a nightmare of broken sentences and confusing acronyms.
