[SGS3-R530M] Metropolis Rom [4.3 Touchwiz]

Best thing todo is get a list of bloat ware thats safe to remove and make a flashable zip so anyone that wants the add on can flash it. If you want to go that route, I can make a list a little later on and send it to you.?

Thanks for the update and the countless hours that you have put into this SIII community. :D:):p

+1 on this I really only use mymetro to pay the bill...

Are you guys doing clean installs? I flashed over 1.0.2 with no problem. It did a check to see if older version was installed. Maybe that's where you guys run into error?

Im on 1.0.3 with a fresh install I came from that liquid smooth rom. It said something during flash about not bieng compatable and to wipe everyrhing when it was done flashing but I did NOT wipe after flashing only before flashing and I am.haaving no known issues I am flashing using cwm and I flashed straight from recovery

Sent from my SCH-R530M

this is a full install, a wipe is not needed if you are coming from previous version. as stated in the changelog the script it is smarter, i need to look into how to go about wipeing it for you automatically if you are coming from a different rom. wipeing before or after has teh same effect but its one extra nice thing you guys wouldnt have to worry about :)

if you wipe system then you will not be able to install the rom, it uses the build.prop to verify you are on an older version. in the future i plan on being able to customize it even further :)

i needed a full install for a few reasons, but this allows anyone who is wanting to check out the rom to just jump in and go, hoping to make future updates in full/patch downloads so people who flash can just grab the latest zip for a much smaller download :)
