Installed SamsungGalaxy (which is S4?). Market - not play store, haven't seen that for a while - keeps trying to update the same apps, says they are updated, then when I start market wants to update the same apps again.

Might try a fresh install to see if it changes anything. So far I was having much more joy with S3.

Try this. I backed up my play store.

I like this ROM but my bluetooth keeps disconnecting and acting weird. It connects the first time I try it then it just disconnects and unpairs it, I then have to pair it again but wont work.

Did everyone else do a full wipe, or just the normal dalvik and cache wipe?
 
Dude, this is BY far the best I've seen yet.

I will give this a go after a bit!

Thank you for breathing new light into this unfortunately phased out phone.
 
Thanks for this Great ROM! Anyone have issues with message notifications with the G3?

Sorry, Issue with the sound notification when receiving messages/text.
 
Your post its kinda confusing, you have 3 links and its kinda hard to know which is what, could you please re-arrange in a way it specify what we are downloading? like put versions and dates of updates.

Thank you
 
also, if theres a way to unlock the system so we can uninstall the crapload of apps we dont use it would be great.

You should be able to get in the system/app folder from Root Browser and remove the apps that are safe. Theres a thread around the forum that lists which app is safe to remove
 
I was told about this ROM through facebook from one of my friends. I instantly got flash hungry yet again (I had flashed a ROM couple days ago) But first I did my research to read about this ROM. Came across the Bluetooth issue people reported. Also noticed that some said the home button wasn't working right? I believe its on the S4 version and not S3? Either way I'm enjoying the screenshots but I would really appreciate if the Bluetooth issue gets fixed. Bluetooth is a must for me, can't go without it. Been seeing that the Esteem is sorta phased out but its not dead. GREAT JOB DUDE!!!! Hope to see an update with fixes so I can try this bad boy out
 
Eversleyd - All I can say is absolutely awesome ROM! I have tried all of the other ROMS and this is very smooth, responsive, and best of all the battery life is unbelievable! Best of any ROM I have used. May be because of the battery apps utilized. I have older battery that would give me no more than 6 hours without plugging it in, with limited use. Now I am seeing double the time, and a very noticeable reduction in battery usage. Many other ROMs utilize a font I am not crazy of, themes that are too dark, or slow downs after a period of time.

I usually balk at excessive apps on the phone, but many of them I have never tried, and you have an excellent assortment. The #1 ROM worked the best for me. Battery life, smooth operation, and was able to use Bluetooth on a headset. When using BT in my car, it seemed to cause problems. Phone would slow, started having random crashes of apps when trying to connect. Outside of that, everything else was perfect. #3 I could not get BT working at all. Couldnt use since BT is important to me as much as Boss. Was thinking of flashing one of the BT fixes from the other ROMS, but didnt want to have a problem.

Great work man! Far and away the best there is, outside of a BT fix. Would recommended to all, you have to check this one out!

Yea bro I too was thinking bout flashing BT fix but then I wondered if it'll cause problems. I mean that BT fix was based on another ROM so more likely it would've caused a problem. I seriously hope there's a fix for it because I wanna flash it only if the small issues are worked out
 
Even with the quantity of apps I don't notice a slow town. Will sure try it though!

I will try the BT fix and let you know Boss. The link from the ROM is not working. Its sad that many of the links on the Esteem forum are dead.
 
Thanks Lion, I had it on my SD card from the past.

The BT fix installed OK on this ROM, but does not fix the problem. I am testing on my car bluetooth. Turn on bluetooth, scan for devices and it never finds anything. #1 is the only ROM that connects to my car. #2 & #3 wont connect. Have not tried them with a headset, but cant imagine it would pair.
