Root [Boost Mobile] Working ROMS/MODS/KERNELS/MODEMS/ECT for the Boost S3

Since this is a thread for ROMS if anyone else wants to try this one out with me I flashed it earlier today and it seems stable enough so far messaging and 3g work at least and I did remove the asserts here too. Avatar is a fun one, the theming of MIUI with an AOSP base and it's 4.4!

[ROM][KK 4.4] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy SIII(d2spr) - Updated [Jan 19,2014] - xda-developers



I had tested the older version and I ran into some issues. Hopefully this one is good to go. Thanks again for bringing it to mine and the other's attention so they too can get it tested.

I'll be sure to get it tested and added this weekend if all goes well. If I can, I'll try to get a few more added this weekend too. I've been sticking with WS but I need to get off my butt and get more ROMs added to the thread. The only way for me to do that is to test. :D

It's solid so far aside from a couple of the themes having some problems but if I go back to a different theme it seems fine again. I haven't had extensive use but it worked for me all day at work today.

Trying out this wicked sensations rom I see everyone talking about, I must say it is pretty slick. After coming from the Marquee, I just have too many roms to flip between. First world problems. Happy testing!

Lol. Bro, I've still got my Marquee sitting on my desk right beside my Prevail.

You're gonna have to change the way you look at things after coming from the Marquee. My best advice I can give you at 1st is to keep it simple. Stick with the easy to install Sprint Touchwiz ROMs until you get comfortable. Trust me, there are some dynamite Sprint TW ROMs out there for you to play with and get your feet wet with. Personally, I'm staying with Wicked Sensations for right now. It does just about everything I need a ROM to do. I do plan on testing some of the other ROMs soon though so I can get them added to this thread for you guys. I should have some new AOSP and Touchwiz ROMs added soon. I plan to start testing tomorrow.
 
UPDATE-


WICKED SENSATIONS JUST DROPPED ANOTHER UPDATE. v.03. THE FEEDBACK LOOKS GOOD SO FAR. I'M FLASHING IT NOW! THE NEWEST EREDICATE THEME WORKS WITH IT TOO AND THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A PRE-RELEASE OF THE UP IN SMOKE THEME THAT WAS RELEASED TOO.

JUST A HEADS UP FOR YOU WS FANS OUT THERE. :D

____________________________________________________

I AM ALSO GOING TO BE TESTING SOME OF THE NEWER 4.3 AND 4.4 ROMS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED. HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND SOME STABLE ENOUGH TO BE WORTHY OF SHARING IN HERE SO YOU GUYS CAN FLASH WITH CONFIDENCE. ;) PLEASE KEEP IN IND THAT I AM UNABLE TO TEST 4G IN MY AREA AT THIS TIME SO THE 4G QUESTIONS HAVE TO BE ANSWERED BY THE GUYS WHO HAVE IT.

My wife has both! I made the Marquee into her playing around device and music player since the Prevail has the space issues and she only ever had a 1gb SD card for it. That way she has one specifically for phone calls and one for everything else, she seems to enjoy the setup.

I've already gone nuts on the 4.4 ROMs on this S3 though, they are too fun. So it's hard for me to flash backwards now since I got my feet wet with (and spoiled by) the 4.4 features. I'll stick to WS for a bit though since it has a lot to offer and I got 4g to work on it! Thanks for everything though man, keep on it :)

yeah i guess your right that makes sense high traffic on the hosts site guess ill wait.:(

also there are two links do i want beta or not.
 
I looked and could only find like xposed mods , but are there any other mods for tweaking the ui/system touchwiz based?

I am currently using wanam xposed and multiple widgets xposed but aside from the xposed mods and a volume increase zip I couldn't seem to find much more. I remember moar having a few I liked but not sure what they were.....they seemed to be non-xposed mods too.

I don't overclock or volt things so mainly just the system/ui is all I use.
 
UPDATE-

ADDED "Official ViPER4Android Audio Effects" TO THE "MODS, KERNELS & PRL INFORMATION". :D

IF YOU LOVE YOUR AUDIO, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND GIVING THIS MOD A TRY. :D PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INFO ON SETTING IT UP. ALSO, WHEN YOU 1ST INSTALL IT YOU WILL BE ASKED WHAT QUALITY YOU WANT, I CHOSE THE BEST. IT DRAINS A LITTLE MORE BATTERY BUT MY MUSIC IS WORTH THE EXTRA DRAIN ON THE BATTERY IMO.:p:D
 
Beta at this point....

Edit:
Mirror download link.
https://files.secureserver.net/0soHlGSx8fNla8

Is there like an xda link for this, so I can keep an eye on it, read up on stuff....kinda like to read before I try :).

Asking because I had some systemUI boot loop issues when I was toggling setting in options with the 7.1.......also looped again after a hard boot, so gave up on it, because at that point only thing to do was a install of the rom again.....didn't feel like messing with an install again. I love the rom though nice features. Hoping they got the kinks worked out in 7.2

Right now I'm on jdsingles 4.3 stock rom, with xposed mods, but I'd like to have more options if they are out there, but still havn't gotten an answer one way or the other to my previous post.

Works nicely, except with the battery mod I have. When I turn the screen off the battery mod puts thigns in sleep mode and turns off the 3g data. This seems to affect viper some how, because when I come back I have to toggle it of, then back on again for it to re-engage itself.

It does work well though. If your on AOSP/CM type roms, I'd HIGHLY recommend this, it's a definite best of the best out there and when I say this I mean it truly works, where as others are hit and miss and mostly don't work. I've used this in TW roms as well, so it works there also.

Only thing I've seen is with the sleep mode.....I think I read on the thread they have that it's a known issue and some have it some do not.

It's really a toss up as to what app is the cause, becasue I used greenpower, which is picky how it works, some times it works other times it does not, while DS Battery defiantly works without issues, so while it worked for greenpower, it doesn't for DS. Kinda a choice to make sorta heh.

I ordered the ZL battery though so I may go back to greenpower and keep viper. I guess it's how DS makes the phone sleep, it does a deep sleep, so I dunno...kinda hard to choose.

Again though this aside, it's a very awesome app, and free as well, and for a eq/booster app it has a nice selection of stuff to set, reverb, room size, enhanced speaker, an eq slider like DSP, it's basically DSP on steroids, it's loaded.


Ok Update:
Other than I'm a total idiot sometimes, viper4android works just fine.

I forgot that one of the solutions or work around was viper installs under user apps directory data/apps so in some cases apps need system access to work correctly, so to resolve this it was as easy as moving the file to system/apps and reboot.

I had this issues once before and totally forgot about moving it to the system/apps folder, so now it's persistent in the system and works as it's spose to. This is even when I have DS Battery set to the most aggressive setting there is disabling ALL apps and doing a COMPLETE slumber, that means apps, outgoing checks, 3g, wifi, anything is put in slumber mode, it's even more aggressive than the aggressive setting which turns on every 2 hrs for 1 min to check thing. I always like controlling things so I set it to ALL OFF mode and check things manually as needed.

Anyways on topic, yes viper4android is THE best solution if you have low volume.
 
I'm a busy person tonight LOL....have another request, along with the TW questions.

I remember seeing there is a mod for gps notification disable for KK roms. I've looked and cannot for the life of me find anything pertaining to such mod, yet I remember it being out there......anyone happen to know or have a link to where this is?

The gps toggle on/off is annoying, but tolerable if I absolutely have no other options

Yeah it beta and it is buggie at the moment, it has its share of fc's. But it has lots on new things like quad window... I've been working all day n just got in and about to flash it... been following the thread all day, now it's time to test it.

yeah i'm definitely waiting to many bugs in the beta!

That's a good idea... it in no means is a daily driver. I messed around with it last night, not bad but not worth flashing unless you're going to help by bug reporting. Official release should be soon.

Anyways on topic, yes viper4android is THE best solution if you have low volume.

FYI, last I checked, MOAR has regular, medium, and extreme volume mods. Wicked Sensations also has them. I use the extreme mod. The reasons I use Viper is not to boost the sounds, it's because the sound quality is insanely better. :D

That's what Viper is for, sound quality, not to make it louder. It does however have an extreme setting in case you want an extra boost. Viper was created for music junkies like me who enjoy not only the music but also the quality.

Beats is another mod that I enjoyed using when I had my SV. You couldn't tell it listening through the speaker and Viper is pretty much the same way. You notice the quality once you but a nice set of headphones on or hook it up to a decent sound system. Viper makes huge difference in the quality of sound in my car too. :D:thumbup:


Edit: another solution if you're having battery drain is to freeze that bad boy with Titanium and defrost it when you want to listen to music.

When Viper is installed it gives you several options of the sound quality you want. Each will affect the battery differently. Personally, I chose the best one offered. That's how much I enjoy listening to quality music. ;)
 
I had to share these. Dazed cooked these up for me a little while ago. LOVE IT! :)





The 1st is definitely my favorite. This is a nice feature that I wish Android Forums would add the the Sigs. :D
 
UPDATE:

GUYS, HERE IS A HUGE BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I MAY HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE BUT I DEFINITELY NEED TO MENTION IT AGAIN.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FLASH ANY OF THE NEW AOSP ROMS , YOU ARE GONNA NEED TO BE RUNNING PHILZ RECOVERY. FOR SOME REASON THE NEWEST WORKING VERSION OF TWRP FOR OUR PHONES WILL NOT FLASH THESE 4.4 ROMS. I HAD THIS ISSUES AWHILE BACK AND REMEMBERED MENTIONING IT TO STRUCKN BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT I MADE A POST IN HERE ABOUT IT. WELL.... HERE IT IS. LMAO :p:D:p;):rolleyes:

IF YOU WANT TO TRY THE NEWER AOSP ROMS WITH THE ASSERTS REMOVED, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE RUNNING THE NEWEST VERSION OF PHILZ BEFORE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO RUN IT.

AS PROMISED, I AM TESTING SOME OF THE NEWER ROMS. FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE, USE PHILZ 1ST!!!!! TRUST ME..... IT'LL SAVE YOU A LOT OF BRAIN PAIN! HAHAHAHA :D

OK, HERE I GO.... OFF TO TRY OUT SOME OF THE NEWER ROMS. I'VE JUST FLASHED THE NEWEST BEANSTALK 4.4 AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD TIME TO SET IT UP YET. I JUST WANTED TO PASS THIS INFO ABOUT PHILZ WHILE IT WA STILL FRESH IN MY MEMORY AND MY HEAD WAS HURTING REMINDING ME TO DO SO.

OK, OK, GO AHEAD AND LAUGH YOUR ASSES OFF.... I DESERVE IT. THE MAIN THING IS IS GOT IT FIGURED OUT ALL BY MY LONESOME SO PUT THAT ON YOUR CRACKER AND EAT IT! HEEHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

TIME TO TEST...... I HAVE SEVERAL TO TRY AND TEST TONIGHT. KNOWING ME AND THE WAY I LIKE TO TEST ROMS, I PROBABLY WON'T BE GETTING TO THE OTHERS UNTIL TOMORROW. STILL!!!! I SAID I WAS GONNA TEST AND HELP GET THIS THREAD A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE AND BEING THE MAN OF MY WORD, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING.

WISH ME LUCK FELLAS. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EACH OF YOU A VERY PLEASANT EVENING.

BIKER. :)
 
If you mean to have img sig, being premium or staff would fix that :p

lol... DUDE, I am Premium. :p

Didn't know we could add pic sigs though. thx

Oh, I'm also a member of the special teams here too on AF. :D

Even was a Guide for awhile but had to step down while I was in school. The 4.0GPA I had at the time meant more to me that being a Guide. lol
 
lol... DUDE, I am Premium. :p

Using tapatalk so I've no clue who's what :D lol

But yep, if one of those 2 you can add img to sig :)

I knew you was an AF Contributer but I think you need at least to be a guide without premium for that before you can use the img.

You was? Must've been before my time :p don't remember you being one when I first became one some odd little over a year ago.
