[SGS3-R530M] Metropolis Rom [4.3 Touchwiz]

actually it works in general well for most but now that u mentioned that folder it dosn't exist on my phone and i do mean the csc folder so seems i flash something wrong or something so im gonna redo.

Oh okay I got u brother... Well the xml that I put up is for those who prefer long msgs convert to mms rather than split
 
no, this wa smy first bootanimation attempt. i wanted somehting truly custom and after several days of me asking around offering to pay someone to make me onei decided to myself, taht white flash is fixable but ive tried everything on the net with no luck
I don't mind it I treat it as a game how long can you look at this befoe you have an epileptic seizure. So far I have won every time. :smokingsomb:
 
hey guys...I've been playing with the text messages and mine seem to be fine...I'm using the newest radio...I noticed that on the LJ3 radio that really long messages constantly got converted and unconverted with like every other word...nothing like that here on newest radio...I'm pretty sure the mms issue from before is gone with the jellybeanz and the new MB2 radio or whatever its called
 
No issues with mms or long text I'm on the tar update not the actual ota but yes everything works shabby donating next week thanks again men this is nice
 
when are the init.d scripts actually applied before or after boot? They don't seem to be working correctly. I also noticed that my lockscreen is all messed up but I think that's from the reboot menu I flashed...it might have broke something...restoring backup now...

DO not flash the reboot mod it breaks the lockscreen...also system tuner's script for cpu adjustments does not work without modding the script...not your fault

Reboot mod you downloaded is for Metropolis v104 ~ v105. That is probably why it messed stuff up. New version will be up tonight.
 
Plagued by the 0 folder. Can't find backups through titanium or new downloads to install. :(

Edit: downloads to install via recovery
 
yep...thanks man!

any idea about the init.d script not sticking for system tuner cpu changes?

how is the script named? mind pastebining a copy of it? are you sure teh settings arent sticking? or is teh script not running at all?

if you are booted the phone sees internal sdcard as /sdcard/ in recovery it sees it as /sdcard/ unless it detects a 0 folder then it switches to 4.2 compatibility mode. take care of teh 0 folder and you should be fine in recovery
 
I know that should make since to me, but do i remove or rename the folder. Thanks for all your work man^
 
so, since I'm in a uber lazy mood .. this is just the awesome version of the newest OTA update? with a few roms popping up lately, it's been kinda hard to keep up lol

downloading now.
 
:confused:how to install V1.1.0 ,, I'm on version 1.0.4:confused: MetroPoliss
Hey im going to lunch so ill try to keep it brief,

this started off as a rom based off of US cellular's JB update, now we have a very nice metro based rom, mucho gracias to every one involved :)

Screenshots will be posted here :)

downloads are in #3 Addons/themes will be in post 2 :)

Instructions:

Download rom (derp)
copy to your phone (internal or external sdcard)
Boot into recovery (power + vol up + home til you see blue text in teh top left corner)
TWRP go into the wipe menu and choose factory reset (no matter what rom you are coming from)
CWM choose wipe data/factory reset on teh main menu
Flash the rom normally

since this is a new build (4.1.2) none of teh data is godo to crry over hence 1.X.0 bump so its best to start clean. i know what you are thinking "why do i need to wipe? i thought you had a super install script?" well i did, but the only bug i couldnt work out was how to deal with if people wiped system. since everyone seemed so damn happy hitting that format button i scrapped the entire script and now all of you can do it all yourselves.

1.boot into recovery

6. No 6th step just messing with ya :D

The metro pcs white boot animation will seem frozen for a min or so don't panic don't pull batter just let it work it's magic as soon as u see bottom soft keys light up that means it's about to take you into the setup for first time use you know Google account and what not lol.

anyway to turn off boot custom sound on animation?
 
So, Is the sdcard0 in /storage needed for anything since I also have /sdcard which appear to be identical. I am on 4.1.2 odex debloted. I believe that I read somewhere that sdcard0 is for 4.0.2???

sdcard/0/ i s because you flashed a 4.2 rom, everything on your sdcard got moved there when you booted and then when you reverted your /sdcard/ folder got populated again, take what you wnat from teh 0 folder and remove it

One quick question Shab;

Is the 0 folder one of the reasons people get the "insufficient space" BS when trying to download from Play/etc.?
 
Shabby do you think you could get multi window and theme chooser on a ROM with working Bluetooth? I know its a lot of work,I have no problem donating to the cause :D I keep fishing through ROMs and only metropolis is solid for me right now.

theme chooser has to be coded into teh source accross the ENTIRE rom. since we dont have source for samsungs touchwiz (or most of the rom at least), its just not possible at this time.
