Ok,

Ive decided - If you would like to donate for the work im doing, please send your donation to the RSPCA (A UK Based animal welfare charity)

They only survive by donations and are struggling with the amount of abandoned animals this year (More than ever)

This is the link:

RSPCA

This will be added to the first post
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
mate , you just impressed me now !

considering that i use to kill how many frogs , mice , rats , insects , (some cats too) in my time,i will donate some coins to RSPCA .

are you going to move out from the dark side :cool: ?

-=-=-

awaiting for link !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
:angel:

Thats the only time i venture from the darkness....back in to the shadows for me now...:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
yeah ! stay there , what we`ve got on this world , from darkness has been created and ... in to it will go than ... argh ... anyway ... donating and thinking that my white chinchilla will be safe in case will continue pissing me off , miaowing on every morning when i go to toilet ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Lol

I'm thinking...for 8.3 I'm gonna move all the bloatware to the Ota app...that will reduce the size of the Rom quite a bit...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
pfff ... well ... i feel like i`m gonna kill my cat ...

-=-=-

i`ve seen that on the GMAIL.apk thread those guys are mixing up this inverted / reverted stuff , i mean where they posted gmail.apk 4.2 is showing me in the app menu 4-1-2 and viceversa and in my storage is a mess as well , i don`t know which is which ... anyway , i`m trying to tell you to double check which app/version will be inside .

both of them are working fine though .

(and siyah rc1 is fine , check it out , might be a good choice as the default one)

good luck !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Will do, thanks for the heads up

i have changed siyah to latest rc1 already (saw it yesterday in his thread :))
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
... and considering that is a new base is better v9 ... 8 point ... seems to be endless :angel:

oops ! i talk too much ... shall i send you pm`s or shall i shut up my mouth with another beer ? anyway , 4 hrs more and i go to work ... surgical ... :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Version upgrades from 7 -8 -9 are generally for OS updates (v1,2,3 were symbian, 4 was gingerbread for the s2, 5&7 were for ics for s3 and 8 is jb for s3)

This will be 8.1, the next will more than likely be 8.1.2 as it will be an incremental update

Also, does anyone want me to remove the Blocking Mode notification from showing (even when its active)?

Edit to add:

I just noticed Vertumus is releasing his new theme tomorrow night...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
thanx ! it`s clear now !

personaly i don`t use this option :cool:

no hurry ! cook it well done !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
Testing right now

Hey there!

First of all: Thanks for your ROM and the great amount of hard work involved with supporting it!

I`m testing 8.0 at the moment, smooth and quite sleek looking (Siyah and Apex). Apart from the already known error in Note2 Gallery port (FC when trying to set Wallpaper from Homescreen) there is only one odd thing, which is the "quick search" widget.

I can drop it to the homescreen but its not working.

I can resize it and drag it around but get no reaction whatsoever when trying to input something. Maybe it`s related to the launchers (NOVA /Apex), will give it a try with a different one asap.

Looking forward to 8.1.2!

BTW:

Any user-reviews concerning with AC!D Audio Engine? I already tried many sound mods, none of them was an improvement in quality, most just add gain (and noise!).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
@ phozz

Search bar widget is dead also here(apex in use)

AC!D don't know, I use quite rarely the headphones

Thanks for reports!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Install google search from market, the widget is just the widget, the functionality comes with the search apk.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Shhhh ... now people will call us dumb and dumber ... :o

-=-=-

so , from the deep of " my dumbness " i would like to ask you dear fellows for how long do we have to suffer from this waste of system space ?

i`ve heard that siyah tried to implement sort of shrinked system partition up to .5 or 1 gb to save some space .

personaly on one of his versions , 1.7b5 i think i noticed a small size on the second rom , but on rc1 is the same as default 1.58 gb .

well i use to push my preffered apps on rom zip to be installed on system to save some storage space therefore removing apps (bloatware) from system makes no difference unless there are unusefull for most of uss
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guillots:
still I have the problem of the sms(don't regroup). i used the application you suggested "SMS Backup +"...i think the problem is inside the rom 'cause always restore the sms's with "SMS backup and restore" and i never had a problem...would you take a look of this?

sorry my english ;)....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] etique57:
I have the exact same problem.

I've looked into the SMS db file, and it appears the app is not able to recognize the presence of spaces in the number. Thus +33 1 23 45 67 89 isn't the same for it as +33123456789. Hence the different threads.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
That's why I included the contacts clean up app....you can reformat your contacts and the mms.apk works fine

Side note:

I've just been sacked from my job.

This obviously means that finding a new job is now my priority...I am uploading the 8.2 Rom as it is but this is going to have to be put on hold

I don't know when the next Rom after this will be, sorry
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Really sad to hear, hopefully got nothing to do with your Rom development :)

Good luck at finding a new job and hopefully we'll see you back soon :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guillots:
That's really bad news...have luck with that!

we will be patient, and will be wainting ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
Sorry to here about the job loss.. good luck in finding something quickly. Im sure someone with your skills shouldnt be out of work for long ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Oh mate! We all know you're upset, is just a bad day or evening whatsoever but you're a man and prove yourself once again that you're strong enough and back to life!

We're waiting for you! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] etique57:
Oh gosh, what a bad news.

Of course your job is the new priority. All the best mate, and hearts up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
Dude the ROM can wait first find a job. We can wait no rush mate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thanks everyone, its been a tough day....your kind words are appreciated :)

ROM is online.....click here

As i previously said, its provided 'as is'...i haven't fully finished it but its still a daily driver ROM

Support will still be there, but not as often as normal

Hope you enjoy it :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Fine! Thanks mate! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Raghav_K:

and thanks for all the work...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lensfuuma:
Good luck :) i hope you find a good company
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thanks again

Rom is now available via OTA app (Finally got ftp upload fixed)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
Darn it

I`m sorry to hear that and hope you`ll find a decent new job soon. I was in the same situation early this year, so I understand the hassle associated with this.

I`m going to give 8.2 a try in the next hrs., but for now the OTA App is saying "no updates available" .

Just for the books, here are some strange things I encountered in 8.0:

-FC in CodecROM settings when trying to use font installer

-FC in CodecROM settings when trying to use Light Flow

-Random FC of DSP Manager when switching between walkman app and N7 without closing the running app before openeing the other on

-there is a strange stripe of colored pixels in the notification bar from the left top corner to the center. I have the center Clock mod installed and the pixelline exactly ends where the clock starts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
That's the battery bar ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
As previously mentioned - ive had ftp issues and roms are uploaded to devhost. Its been mentioned several times

I got OTA up and running again at 2.30am this morning

Fixed in 8.2.1 - i removed the app for testing and forgot to replace it (ive attached the app, use Rom Toolbox and move it to system/app with the root explorer

fixed in 8.2

It will be looked into

Battery Bar - mentioned in changelog
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
Jeez, that hit me ^^ "It`s not a bug, it`s a feature!" :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Hehe

Tbh a few people thought it was a bug...I think I should explain/expand it a bit more in the OP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
thnx

Thanks for your thorough reply.

Yeah, I knew about the FTP problems. Just thought I should mention it, since I tried

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Raghav_K:
I can confirm ota works for me....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
Confirmed working!

You got it right man, it`s downloading right now :good:

Thanks mate!

shame I already spent my "thanks" button for today :eek:

BTW:

I`m wondering if there is a solution for diff-updates over the air?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Lovely

Thanks for confirming my friend

It's a problem with my host...I'm in email talks to get it sorted....they are also taking ages to increase the member database as its full again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
"Diff"-patching

No pressure, I am just trying to understand how all those OTA tools work. For what I read, tools like update-me or ROM Manager Premium

don`t "patch" an update, but simply iron a complete ROM over the already installed one.

So basicaly update-me pulls a cwm file containing the full rom from a dedicated ftp-server as soon as it gets a push notification for a new revision? This would be different from the way carrier OTAs work, where the update only contains the "changed" or "added" files by using a patching method (proly similar to the "diff" program in UNIX/Linux). The downside to this method would be, that it can only be used from one revision to the next (1.1 to 1.2) while the whole flash file would also work in other cases (1.1 to 3.1).

If we were able to use a method like "diff", updates with update me or a similar app would improve the whole effeciency in the updating process significantly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
OTA works for me aswell
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
What about baseband? Shouldn't be xxDLIH ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
Basically it would as well be possible with update me or such to provide only the changed files per ota. For the app it doesn't matter only the package would need to be changed, as well it would be possible to provide version dependent ota files, but the thing is, there isn't only ota, there is the basic download as well where the whole package needs to be provided and not to forget the possibility something goes wrong or is missing would be much bigger, because it can easily happen that something doesn't get included inside the package, because the developer maybe changed something at night short before release and missed to include it at the package or such (you know, they're also human ;)).

So the possibilities are there, but it's much easier and saver for the user as well to do it another way.

That's at least my opinion.

Edit: Ah, bad, maybe i should have let it be, that's post 666^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
no, baseband is the modem - it only goes to LID at the moment - LID modem is in 8.2.1 (i forgot to put in in 8.2)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Thanks darkly! Just flash it as secondary, clean flash ' cause updating it gave me headaches, fc' s ... (secondary's known risks) and so far is great. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phozz4:
Safety 1st

Good point, it`s always safety first! :cowboy: First problem which came to my mind, was the difficulties in maintaining two different update packages. Could you further explain the difference regarding the risk of missing files with patching vs whole install? As far as I remember update-me uses MD5 checks to prevent corrupted downloads from bein installed. Of course this MD5check would not work in case a chef has messed up the package in the haste of battle, but then again, this is also the case for a whole ROM, isn`t it?!?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
The risk can be none, till missing features, till fc because parts aren't able to work together like they should, at worst case even bootloops (but pretty unlickly). Yes it uses md5 checks, but at the whole rom you can at least be sure the base works. What i as well forgot to mention, additional mods (maybe not provided by the developer itself) and aroma options would make the whole thing even more complex, there could be broken stuff because other mods do things they shouldn't, at the whole rom system wiped, all from scratch and no problem at least till the additional mod gets flashed, which can be tracked down much easier.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigmaamit:
Hi DSA... must say ROM's looking great. Had some spare time on my hands and while i am perfectly happy with AllianceROM ICS, I've seen your work and wanted to taste a similar ROM on JB. So flashed the latest one (8.2)

Initial impressions:

The ROM is fast and glides around effortlessly.

The AOSP look is a BIG plus!!

Aroma options are amazing.

Kudos to the hours of work you put in building this beauty up.

On a darker note:

On choosing Nova Launcher in aroma, nova force closes after installation and bootup. (Yes, I know the wipe cache, fix permission drill) - it's a persistent problem after two complete wipes that included an extra /system format too

The transparency bug is still present on third party launchers (holo, apex, as well as nova - latest) and since the rom does not have a touchwiz option, essentially all launchers are rendered useless.

Will come back to the next version definitely. These are teething problems, and i'm sure you'll iron out the kinks eventually. Keep the lamp burning buddy, great job.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thank you very much :good:

Fixed in 8.2.1

Ive put a fix in for 8.2.1 - please report with findings when its uploaded

Hey DSA,

Been busy the last couple of days so couldn't reply.

First of all very sad to hear that you lost your job. Was there any specific reason, like downsizing of the company or such? Anyways lots of luck in finding a new one. As long as you stick to it, it is bound to produce results. Just take your rom as an example:).

Further I would like to ask if you've already implemented the tweaks for the auto-hide statusbar in all apps in your latest rom? And a small request, if it would be possible to have a rotatable lock screen. Just for fun:D.

Thanks again for all the effort!

Greetz,

Mad100
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Its a bullsh!t sacking - someones taken something ive said and blown it out of proportions

Auto hide - no, job comes first

rotate lock screen - already added in Aroma since version 8 - its even in the first post changelog:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad100:
I completely understand that your priority lies with finding work (as it should). I was just wondering if it had already been implemented or that it was a plan for a future release. As I will then stay with 8.0 till that comes out.

And I only wanted the rotatable lockscreen. And I thought by choosing the 4-way rotate option you're stuck with a fully rotating phone, as I only like it to rotate 2-sides. Maybe I misunderstood the option.

Anyways lots of luck in job hunting. Hope to hear some good news from you in the near future.

Greetz,
