[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
My Flash of v3.7

So this is what I did and what I chose when I flashed v3.7 :

1. Reboot to recovery mode

2. Factory reset

3. Wipe cache

4. Wipe dalvik

5. Install dragon ics v3.7 from zip

Aroma Options :

6. Wipe data yes

7. Backup efs yes

8. Touch recovery (Have been using touch recovery for a long time, have never had any issues with it, so i stick with it)

9. Siyah kernel (I have had most experience with this kernel, so I keep choosing it, because I like to test various things with it)

10. XXLH1 modem (Why not? it worked great in v3.6)

11. Apex launcher (I like this launcher and I bought it, so i stick with it)

12. No extweaks (Siyah kernel comes with Stweaks, so no need for Extweaks)

13. No Extsd2 v3

14. No Extsd2 v3 Exfat Ed. (No because I dont have a fast or big enough memory card to play with this, but will be getting one soon, but then I will rather install and play with swap partition mod)

15. No volume loudhack mod (Siyah kernel has audio settings at kernel level, so no need for this mod)

16. Yes supercharger v6 (havent ever used this script, dont even know how to run it, but I always install it, just in case today will be the day I play with it :P bit concerned as to how it will influence battery consumption though?)

17. LMKV Optimus (Always used this setting in aroma, but I believe my personal settings in System Tuner in Sysctl.conf overwrite these anyway? though I may be mistaken)

18. Yes boot sound (why not?)

19. No GPU 2D rendering (Concerned about apps not being stable or working with this, so decided not to install it, you have touchboost and gpuboost levels in Stweaks for siyah kernel, that may have the same effect without the compatibility issues)

20. No open VPN (I dont use any VPN, so no need for it)

21. Yes SQLite Tweaks (This is new, decided to enable it, because anything that increases performance is welcome :)

22. Yes Sysctl.conf (Decided to install this, as I already change some settings in Sysctl.conf in SystemTuner, so I want to see what they have changed from default, and if it is any good or not)

23. Dragon ICS animations (personal preference here)

24. 50% Statusbar transparency (personal preference)

25. Yes centre clock (personal preference)

26. Dragon ICS theme v1 (like many people, I like this theme, hope it is working properly now, had some issues with it in v3.6)

27. Signal and wifi icons Theme icons

28. Battery icon Circle v2 (personal preference)

(Circle V2 looks like Circle v1 instead?, hopefully can find a way to replace it without having to reflash??)

29. Yes transparent accuweather widget (personal preference)

30. No additonal themeing addons

33. Choose the apps you want. (I am trying NOT to install Google Maps / Google Plus / Google Drive so that I can install them myself from play store, in case of updates, that will fail when they have been installed by the rom, unsure if this will work, but will have to wait and see.)

P.S. Could have sworn I did not choose to install Samsung App, yet this time when phone booted it asked for Samsung Account Sign In, when previously in v3.4 v3.5 v3.6 when I did not install Samsung App, it would not ask me to sign in to Samsung Account upon first boot.

32. Dont reboot

33. It goes back to recovery

34. Wipe cache

35. Wipe dalvik

36. Fix permissions

Findings thus far and tests of previous complaints :

My findings :

1. Signed in to google account, wallpaper changed automatically to my previous one. (Dont know if this was google account that changed my wallpaper, or if the fact that I notice that even though I do factory resets, and wipe data, I have never lost any data on my internal memory, so maybe apex launcher picked up on my old wallpaper and changed it?) My lockscreen wallpaper is the default one, so I guess Apex changed the homescreen wallpaper.

2. Google play store immeadiately installed all my old apps. (I manually installed : Google+ / Google Maps / Google Drive etc... without any problems)

3. Will need more time to play with everything, but so far, everything is fine, smooth, no problems, now lets get on to the things people complained about.

Previous Complaints / Issues / Bugs :

1. Super SU : I opened SuperSU, it said it needed to be updated, clicked continue and it completed. I opened Titanium Backup, it asked for root permissions, I granted it, and it is working fine!

2. Change wallpaper :

Confirm BUG

get error message "SystemUI" has stopped working and my wallpaper has now changed to some mountain wallpaper out of nowhere lol. (After I restored my titanium backups, I changed wallpaper without any problems! I used Sony Album / Gallery to select image and it changed it without SystemUI error, Also tested with stock gallery and got the SystemUI error again! So if you want to change the wallpaper, use the nice Sony Album / Gallery, it works :)

3. Video recording : Recorded video to internal and external memory just fine, no problems.

4. Google Play Store : Opened, mine has black background with blue text, I can read everything, maybe some option I choose in aroma ? I dont have the white background unreadable text problem I had in v3.6

Thats all for now, will have to wait for other peoples responses etc... to see what else they find.

Also I will commence restoring my backups now with Titanium and see what else pops up.

P.S. I would love to know if anyone has a way to backup the "connections" in contacts, because I am tired of having to reconnect some of my 600+ contacts everytime I flash a rom. (Connections between Google Contacts / Skype / Whatsapp / Facebook) Any info or help will be greatly appreciated.
