Need help - pop up on screen, and what rom is on my device? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hope this is the correct spot for this... I loaded a new rom on my old Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII a couple years back (not sure which rom now) but I kept getting the popup shown in the image, finally got frustrated and pretty forgot about the device.

Found the device again this week and I'm now wanting to use it in my office mainly for streaming music to a bt speaker. However I'm wondering 2 things - first is there a way to get rid of this pop up on this particular rom?
And #2 any suggestions on what rom I should be using on this device to use it as a media streamer? Will need bt access and wifi, camera would be nice as well as use of the microSD slot... suggestions welcome!

Looks like the stock ROM, definitely a TouchWiz based ROM. That message on screen could be one of the settings in developer options. USB notification in status bar too. Look for settings about showing stats, turn them off.
ROMs, for media streaming, stock is fine. Just a little outdated. Lineage is on nougat 7.1.2 now. Everything works fine on it. Octos is on nougat as well. Both have currently maintained ROMs for Sprint S3.

This is because your efs got wiped or modified
I think that this is because your efs partition got modified or wiped during installation or something, you can fix that using EFS Professional.
You can go here and find out how :

Looking for a particular rom, need help!

Can anyone hand me a link with a rom that looks like this?

I'm currently using a rom that looks like this, but I'm looking for a similar looking rom with better performance.
No offense to the cooker of my current rom, I'm just too much of a perfectionist...!
Please send me some links!

You could try any 'touchflo m2d' rom, i don't think that you could find one that works with good performance. M2D is just too heavy for our Artemis. Well, at least that's my point of view after testing several ROM's.
agreed
its that M2D interface which is causing you the performance problems you are trying to get rid of.
installing another M2D rom will give you the same issues
some are better than others, browse for M2D in the thread title of roms on here and see what other user's comment are....but i wouldn't post messages in them all asking what the performance is like because we'll all just get a front page full of bumped old threads
Well I use Achile's Youtube Online version 3 from 1/2/2009 and it looks exactly like this, it's fast & stable. The link is her above on the same page.
Best rom I have tested (with best layout), I just flashed back from the latest 6.5 (which was slow & today screen boring).
I agree that the rom from achilles is the best M2D rom there is. I also detest the today screen from the latest roms, so I will stick to this one.
I'm only having problems with a few things.
- my email and text message sound doesn't play at all when receiving a message
- my memory usage is too high
- I can't install a Hotmail-account
- there is no word completion when I compose a message
- I can't switch from conversation mode to single message mode in my text messages
- messages aren't marked as read until the message is opened in the Windows Mobile messaging program
Does anybody know the answer to (one of) these issues?
Thanks!

Mangled text on home screens?

Hello, I've got a weird error that I don't even know how to begin tracking down. Not sure if this is an ICS issue, an app issue, or a device (hardware) issue.
Several times now, I get a problem were, after a reboot, all the text on my home screen - names for apps and text within widgets is mangled somehow. Like pixels inverted, or boxed over, etc. (see screenshot)

}
The first couple of times this happened, a single reboot made it go away. However with my latest occurrence, I've rebooted several times without a fix.
EDIT: It seems like my data connection may also require examination? Since on the 3rd or 4th reboot I was in my office with a solid WiFi connection (versus previous reboots I was in my car en-route), the problem has now gone away again.
My initial reboot this morning was as a quick-fix attempt at an absent data connection. Guess I'm off to research these "radios" everyone keeps on about...
EDIT 2: Ok, perhaps ignore the above. After a reboot made this go away, it has now come back spontaneously (i.e. just noticed it sitting in the cradle with the error again - no reboot this time.) CRUUUUD.
Are you using a custom Kernel? Some 'Overclock' the GPU to 512MHz, while Stock is 384MHz. Some devices can't handle the increase and cause screen artifacts. Post your Kernel details and I'm sure someone will point you in the direction of another Kernel if this is the case.
Not that I know of - should be all stock, since I haven't rooted or unlocked anything yet (just got the phone a couple of weeks ago).
Thanks for the help.
Stock launcher? Or using nova/apex etc?

Hi,
Another thread...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646985
Nothing related to GPU overclock...just about this possibility...
Looking in different threads in Q&A/General.
If you are using the stock launcher...I think I saw a topic with this weird issue with the stock launcher...but I can not find it anymore
In any case clear data/cache of your current launcher,reboot and see...If you're on another launcher than stock,reinstall...
I speak only for the launcher issue.
Yep, stock launcher. Thanks for the other thread.
Seems to be at bay now. Will keep an eye on it.

SPD Clien update

A couple of days ago, a notification to update SPDClient appeared in Galaxy App Store (Samsung Apps). But what is this app for, and what does the update do? The descriptions does not show any relevant information and there are many comments asking what does this app do.
Does anyone know about this app?

It tells you in the app description what it is.

I also got that and was little afraid of updating, worrying if Samsung trying to sneak some security update for Knox, or root discovery etc.(I'm stock rooted). But it seems to be internal driver related to data exchange over networks, possibly updated due to new hardware like VR or S-watch. I updated it now, so in case I buy Samsung watch or some other new hardware in near future, I won't go crazy wondering why it doesn't work, since once you decline the update, usually doesn't come back anymore.

Any idea if updating this app affects root?

Message and Call Continuity Blocked after Android Pie Update

I just updated my T-Mobile Tab s4 to Pie. I was hoping the Tab S5e message and calling feature would come to this tablet. Well, it did, but is blocked. It is baked into the Pie update and alive on the tablet (see screenshot), i just cannot access it. Any savvy geniuses out there want to get this figured out?
Any luck?
Could you flash an international ROM possibly? I'm not sure exactly what would be compatible or not.
I have a SMT835N and recently tried a Sprint ROM and Phone ability was removed. I am wondering if the same limitation is applied across US carriers and if that limitation is not present in international versions.
Hi. Your post doesn't show any screenshot. How do I get there? I have the Wi-Fi version.

Call and message continuity (as far as I know) didn't get added to the S4. Maybe for the LTE versions, but my US wifi model doesn't even have the option. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
I'm not seeing it on my T-Mobile S4 at all...
My UK Wifi Tab S4 got Continuity with the Pie update, but I was only able to use it when my S10+ received an update this week.
Screenshots?
My tab s4 does not have call option with any update
I found something potentially interesting. I'm not sure about the inner workings of Call and Message Continuity, but it seems like it might be an apk? There is an app with that name on apkmirror. I downloaded and tried to install it but it just says install failed..... If that's all that's needed maybe it needs to be a system app?

General Android 12 (non-beta) available for my T810S

On Friday I received a notification on my phone that an update was available for my T810S that I'm running in the USA on Cricket!

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, it's finally available!
Anyways, I just finished up backing up the images and other things from my phone, and am going to try installing it tonight.
My 64GB SD card has been full for some time, and I was saving stuff to the internal phone memory, which I don't like to do. But, I got everything copied to my PC, my RAID server and my backup drive, so I'm going to clean the items from my phone and do the update.
I sure hope that this fixes the notification issues.
Alright, I was able to successfully install the Android 12 update!
I really like the upgraded looks of the user interface changes, and it showed me a nice little tour of the Android 12 features. The extended screenshot capability feature could be really useful.
I'll give an update in a few days to let you know how it's working.
Here are the screenshots.
After clicking the install button it started showing a slow percentage increase, so I left it alone for half an hour while I did other stuff. When I came back, it was showing this.
After the update, it showed this:
Here's the About Phone screen, showing that I'm now running Android 12.
Just a quick update to let you all know that everything has been working well for my TCL 20 Pro 5G (T810S) since I installed the Android 12 update. I actually get notifications from all of my applications, and battery life doesn't seem to be any different than when I was on Android 11. Having notifications from all apps again is a real game changer for me!
I uninstalled and reinstalled some of the applications that I had previously manually tweaked the power settings on.
The only oddity that I noticed, is that if I have JBV1 auto-start with Android Auto (like I've always had), it locks up Waze and freezes Android Auto! I need to look into why that is happening, but for now I just disabled the auto-start functionality of JBV1.
