if coming from a previous version of Codec Rom.. Do i need to factory reset/wipe data.. find it a very tedious process to restore as I find titanium backup very difficult and confusing to understand..

Can I just update from the previous version to 8.6?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rotsj:
No need to factory reset. You keep your applications, settings etc.

I usually wipe cache and dalvik cache when upgrading, don't know why though but it's just a habbit :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
It is recommended to wipe between versions as well, you can try it without, but if you face bugs, wipe and check if they persist before reporting them.

Dalvik and cache gets wiped within the installation process, no need to do it manually.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tyrtok:
thanks for your help!

anyone know how to change lock screen wallpaper? seems buggy from what i searched
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghostofcain:
I'm assuming the method required for 8.5.3 no longer works?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Like usual, the only thing you need to think of is to chose the note 2 gallery crop tool not the one of the 4.2 gallery (means the secgallery and not the Google gallery tool).

Works fine for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slaphead20:
All good with the latest, tried a no wipe install but had to go clean eventually! Bummer!

Good work DSA :thumbup::D:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
The clock space issue fixed mate?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
No, but it's not an issue at all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Confirmed !!! All good here as well ! Plus , creating an update zip via titanium with my pushed system applications , i managed to flash them into system partition without problems (I'm mad with my applications, isn't it?)

I'm of to sleep now and thanks again dark Mate ! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
OK, so far no issue detected, great work like ever :)

I kinda like the xcode icon at accessibility (I know it has been there before, but I haven't chosen the icons in aroma a while and didn't notice it before), good statement for the brainless drag & drop development done with it (if I'm right that this is your intent).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WarCow:
I had some better luck :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
YAY, someone noticed!! :laugh: That was my little graphic easter egg :cool:

i love that pic!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WarCow:
Did you also change the color of the focusing marker in the stock camera, or am i remembering it wrong? It's blue now where it used to be green :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Yep, more aosp theming
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Hey. I am a ture flashahholic! And I flashed this just this morning and I must say that I am very impressed, a great mix of stock and custom!

I need a bit of help. I downloaded the bloat zip also but just wanted the weather! So I extracted jt and put them in system/app and changed the permissions, but it doesn't show on the lockscreen

[Galaxy S III Android Development] WarCow:
Any reason you didn't just use the Aroma installer? You can pick which of the bloat apps you want. Also installed the Accuweather for lockscreen and it worked fine :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Lol I didn't know that that also has an aroma installer! I thought It would just install everything!

Jumping onto this Rom today. As there are more sound options but can sum1 give me a idea of battery

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kremata:
I can't add pictures to my contacts or my own profile. It says "No pictures available in the phone". Anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Battery life was (and still seems to be) pretty good at codec, look some pages back and you will find some screenshots.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

Nope works here, but can as well be a 4.2 gallery related problem (tried it and it redirected me to note 2 gallery without possibility to choose a gallery), reflash and check note 2 or stock gallery in aroma and it should work fine.

@Darkside Btw, found a small glitch, but don't know if it's only me. Have chosen root mode at at cm file manager and it asks for su privilegs, but the root (or at least system) directory still isn't showing up within the bookmarks and the chosen settings sticks at safe mode. Prompt mode works fine though (even while it seems to work like root mode, because i get no prompts), so no big thing, but wanted to tell.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kremata:
Yep, reflashing with note2 gallery did the trick. Thanks man
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WarCow:
Yeah, i got the same exact behaviour here. Also the app seems very sluggish when navigating in system folders compared to Root Explorer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Yeah...cm file manager bug....if you change it to prompt...works fine as you said...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
ummm ... still sluggish , when tap back is slow and freezes . where can i find log debugging info file ?

-=-=-

i`m not sure but i think that there is something related to new siyah rc3 kernel. for now i flashed rc1 back as i was using it before . since the last version i faced some problems when connected on my lap , on copy/paste files etc ... i`ll report back later
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Weird, except of the root mode problem I faced no issues, hmm, maybe it's time to pull the source, try to fix some stuff and compile it ^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
i`ve found this rc3 a bit buggy ... when connect on computer , it shows the files but as soon as i try to copy/paste ro only preview pics or files from phone on pc it stops and my computer doesn`t respond ... unplug the phone and is fine then the same again and again ...

with rc1 never had that (i thought i`ll never use this expression :p) but i do belive that is something relalted to rc3 , as per some other users reports on his thread .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anuragvivek93:
Whenever I try to do OTA update to 8.6.. I goes lyk sometimes 44% sometimes 66%.. but someway in the middle it stop downloading.. and then Codec Rom, Settings crashes and goes not responding.

Why does whenever I am opening my mobile it always shows Connected to ______ (wifi network).. Earlier it didn't always showed.. is it because when the phone goes idle it looses its connection?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jcurran.jc:
Hey

Thanks for reply very fast.

What kernel are you using, as I need a days use out of my phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
OK, must confess, as old Linux user I don't care about mtp (libmtp is anyway a mess at Linux and I don't like Microsoft proprietary protocols anyway), using adb or ums instead^^

Ota worked fine for me.

Check your WiFi sleep policy (settings -> WiFi -> menu button -> advanced), maybe you have it set to never.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Oh tectas mate as long as you are an old Linux user ... that explains many things... :rolleyes: ... using rc1 , PC connections has been solved for now but cm file explorer still the same
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AngryB:
@Darkside Agent you using Vertu's theme so you have"set limit text message....and multimedia message limit" fc in message setting. Can you fix this???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Confirmed on stock message app ,for SMS and MMS
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ethoss:
A little issue with the rom.... really even in previous version i've noticed this...

I'm using whatsapp plus and when i want to write a emoji there is a lag on time between i tap and when the operation is performed...

I hope I explained...

Obviously to install your rom I've performed a factory reset, all the wipe and then reset to factory from rom...

Any idea? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
lol, thanks for making me smile

'A little issue with the rom'....what makes you think that a little bit of lag in whatsapp from typing an emoji to it appearing is in any way related to my rom?

Its obviously the app, contact the developer

And please refrain from posting 'little issues with my rom' unless its actually a problem with the rom, it gives new users and people coming to this thread the wrong idea
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
in short ... what our Agent was trying to say is that Rom issues are only those created by features from INSIDE of it , not those which comes from third party apps .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thank you

(Sort your sig out you! :p)

Can you guys try this touchwiz mms for the limit issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ethoss:
the reason that is related only on your rom... I tried omega, foxhound, various miu rom and the "problem" is present only in your rom. that's the reason why i wrote 'A little issue with the rom'... i tried the original whatsapp and still get the lag...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
my wife like it ! you heart breaker ... :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quattro527:
The "lag" is associated from WhatsApp itself. I have confirmed this on all other Codec7.x/8.x, as well as other ROMs. Version 2.8.7326 fixes this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ethoss:
i will try :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quattro527:
8.6 installed. Stable so far. When installing 8.5.2 and 8.5.3, I would often get a "Download Music Info" crash error. I'm not even sure what it is, but I typically go into Titanium Backup and have it removed. Any idea what this is?

Also one question (and please forgive my ignorance), is there any way to theme/skin the AOSP keyboard the way it was in ICS 7.x? This is the only thing I really MISSED about the CodecSE ICS ROMs. It was one of the best (and best looking) keyboards I've used. Is there ANY way to port this keyboard into the JB platform? I've tried the conventional Titanium backup method, and it will crash. I cannot find the APK or this keyboard anywhere. :(

This is the keyboard I'm talking about:

:silly::good::laugh:

Keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
dark mate ! the SecMms.zip can not be flashed !

using TWRP i get a Failed message , downloaded twice , recopied twice on my phone. have a look please :cool:

-=-=-

thanx again for your banner !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
That fc is related to something in acid audio engine...I don't know what's causing it...check the thread in themes n apps

I'm sure I can get the keyboard skinned...will see what I can do

Sorry, I forgot to mention..its not a cwm zip...just extract it and push it...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] t24ever:
Great

This is the most fluent and smoth rom i tested so far.

You can also customise the rom in so many ways :)

Tnx for this great rom !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
No probs...don't forget to hit thanks on the op and rate the thread :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
arghh ! i love to ... push it ! :D

still FC on both MMS/SMS when tap on message limit . permissions -rw-r-r-
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Deacon-Frost:
Same here. Then I flashed Perseus and everything´s ok. So this bug must be related torc3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AngryB:
resources.arsc in framework-res is problem....I think something is wrong with resolution png's. When I try stock framework message limit set is fine no fc!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
you mean these?:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AngryB:
I don't know...I know when I try jb domination theme message limit and multimedia limit in message setting fc,then I flash theme without framework only app and then no fc at all .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
i`ve got FC on stock MMS not AOSP , from Aroma i chosen stock ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
last report regarding MMS/SMS app

-=-=-

I extracted from rom zip the AOSP / Mms.apk , pushed in to system/app , fixed permissions 664 (-rw-r-r-) , reboot and no more FC on settings when change that damn limit ...

-=-=-

if someone interested please just rename the apk to Mms.apk :rolleyes: i don`t know why it came like that ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quattro527:
Yes, I would get this FC only when the acid audio engine is installed. Like I said I can easily remove it via Titanium Backup...so it's no biggie to me, but you might want to look into that so that some ppl won't start freaking out and complaining about the ROM. Perhaps have the "download music info" package removed from the installer?

Regarding the keyboard, I've checked the themes n apps threads, but didn't come up with anything. How did you skin it before, or did it already come skinned? Any links, reads, or info would be greatly appreciated...as I am still quite new at this. But having a skinned (or the option to skin) AOSP/Android keyboard would definitely be awesome on the next build...I'm sure there are quite a few people out there that are with me on this one. :good:

Again, keep up the good work. I hate to bring up and compare other ROM's out there (because this is YOUR thread/ROM)...but I just want to tell you I've tried enough of them, and yours just works as advertised (speed, stability, without all the fancy crap)--plus you stand behind and support your own ROM. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
I'm looking to sort acid out...I'm hoping the dev releases an update soon too

Keyboard..

It was pre skinned by vertumus...I'm sure he's working on a new one....I'm not really a themer but I've got it on my 'to do' list

I need some help with setting fonts: Only 'Default Font' shows under settings\display\font style despite folder system\fonts containing aplenty. Installed a couple of fonts (Arial and Avant Garde) from CodecRom settings but these are nowhere to be found in root folders. And the strangest thing is that the last font installed is now my default font and I don't like it. ...I did reboot and still on 8.5.3.

BTW Rom running smoothly and noticed modem performing slightly better than previous ones. ... Cheers. ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
your answer is few pages back

Try the feature included on ROM toolbox app , is working well

Or in codec ROM settings/font installer ...

Clock app

Hi

I have been using this rom for 2 days now and I must say that I'm really impressed over the smoothness and stability of the rom

As I stated earlier .. the best rom I tested :)

I only miss one thing and that's Samsungs wakeup clock, or the clock application itself.

Is there a way to install this one?

Tnx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Download the file from the link and move it to system/app.

http://db.tt/XehWXG5f
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
I personally don't like that Rom Toolbox font thing. I prefer installing font Apks and cooking them under the display settings!

Here are zip with a whole bunch of font Apks. Extract them and then you can install them

http://db.tt/53KU3TpJ

It would be awesome if someone would take this zip and make a flash able zip because I can't lol

Whilst there are many posts that answer the lockscreen wallpaper issue, there are also instances where none of these methods solve the problem of not being able to change it :) (I can assure you I have exhausted all options). Not sure which camp Bubba is in (incorrect method or correct method and unable to change) but he/she may have a valid point. :cool:

(I'm just lucky I really like the new lock screen wallpaper in 8.6 so have given up caring/trying)

Luckily tastes differ (and darkside agent can't and I guess as well doesn't want to fit to everyone's taste), there are many who like it (e.g. me), but if you don't, there is a simple solution, don't use it, there is something called Google, I'm pretty sure you can find a not inverted version there.

If not your best choice will be to flash back to stock and keep it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] glimpsofreality:
i think if you dont have the kernel installed and you click on its setting in rom settings it will give you force close, i.e. if you have siyah kernel installed and you click on fresco settings it will give you force close but it will work fine for siyah kernel settings, same goes with launchers, if you have selected touchwiz in aroma it will give you force close on jelly bean launcher, Apex launcher

it does make sense though, when you havent installed the app or kernel how can you go into the setting of that app or kernel.

what do you think Darkside Agent? am i right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:

1. Is there any possibility to have stk menu back?

2. how can i reenable adds? i need that in order to launch an app

Thanks anyway
[Galaxy S III Android Development] glimpsofreality:

or

2 - In Rom Toolbox Lite go to ad blocker - then press menu and click on unblock ads

i hope that will work for you

Yes it is his mod, and he isnt in the list....but i do say at the bottom of that list:

So i will gladly add him in...dont be condescending about it :rolleyes:

Hi there,

its just a minor thing but i thought worth mentioning, Aqua Weather widget is showing 3 dots instead of date under time (see screenshot), i had to copy widget file from other rom to make it fine, i was not sure which file was it so i copied all 3 which i have uploaded at following link:

Download

if someone having the same issue can copy the APK files to /system/app folder via root explorer and make sure to restart after that.

Cant add the screenshot :(

[Galaxy S III Android Development] WarCow:
Try reinstalling or another kernel. And did you do a full wipe or just upgrade the ROM? It smells of weird-upgrade-bug :P

You need to uninstall Google Search via Titanium Backup because if you want to upgrade. You'll lose the cool and battery saving inverted look though :)
