I have one more issue:

I use OpenVPN (installer and settings) and after each update I have to update/run Busybox installer as the vpn app complains busybox it is not installed properly. Have not had the issue on other android hw or SGS3 roms (ICS only though).

Maybe a rom issue or not. No biggie however.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myellow:
Hi Darkside Agent.

Thank you for your great work. Ive been using your rom for a while now, giving your frequent updates I was wondering if possible to include a update.zip with your updates? As you mention with your internet bandwidth I have also restrictions. Just these couple days its been 2.4GB.

Best regards,

Myellow
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rooster19:
8.4...

Keen as a bean
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Im using the same setup as all the other roms...same buybox file, same symlinking and permissions set up....i will look into it

Sorry but no...as there are a lot of system and aroma changes, an update.zip wouldn't work....and especially when upgrading to a new firmware version...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dan1967:
Thx.

I have not looked at details or logs as there's a easy fix, but I'll pay more attention to permissions and stuff next time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rooster19:
How long till 8.4 is up anyway?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
If my isp doesn't keep killing the ftp upload...4 hours....I have the lamest internet around...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
In addition to my previous response. ..I am going to move the bloatware into its own aroma zip and put it on the ota app...this will reduce the Rom size by around 150mb
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myellow:
That would be nice, 150mb less every update would go far each month. When you keep working at this fast pace.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Widget21:
A bit of a coward..still on your ICS 7.9.1...as they say 'if it's ain't broken..why fix it?' Been waiting for the official UK release of Jb and it has..today...LJ4!! I'll patiently wait for 8.5. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Its right what you say....if you are happy with it...and I'm glad to hear it dude!

I've given up with ftp today...Rom is being uploaded to devhost again

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MEEEE:
Hey DSA,

Thank u really much for ur roms! For me ur work is the perfect combination of stability, performance and design. :thumbup:

I'll report the following bug!?

There are 2 symbols for plugged headphones (see screenshot).

I installed jb-music player, codecrom 8.3

See ya!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
You might opened two players one after the other, whilst one was running you opened another one...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MEEEE:
I only have 1 player installed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
The one is simply the icon indicating that headphones are plugged in, the second is the player.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] apvito:
excellent rom ... thanks ..... waiting ancioso the new version
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Sorry for the delay guys, been one of those days

8.4 is now online

Issue:

No sound in Skype voice and video calls. Don't know if it's already been reported. Didn't see it anyway. If more info needed I'll gladly provide;)

Edit: can hear other person but they can't hear me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Using any sound mods?

What kernel?

What version?

Happening on any other VOIP apps?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Great, thanks for the hard work, downloading right now!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Boldizzle:
Getting force close on Home on first boot after going through the Aroma installer.

Have tried different launchers such as Xperia and LG Home but still same result.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
AC!D mod in the latest version in 8.4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
The theme is only relative to Aroma - Nothing to do with the actual ROM

Just wiped/reflashed all the launchers:

LG Home 3 Launcher - Force Close

MIUI - Working

360 - Working

Nova - Working

Xperia S - Working

JellyBean - Working

Apex - Working

Make sure you are wiping before each install

i will update the first post about LG Home Launcher - its getting removed in 8.5...thanks for the feedback :good:

Yes but not the new 4.0 - it was causing all sorts of problems
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Boldizzle:
Hey DSA, Just want to say thanks a lot for this Rom. It's clear that you put a lot of work into it and so far, although I've only used it for just over an hour, it's hands down the best JB Samsung based rom I've used. Usually an hour is all it takes for me to run back to ICS but not this time.

Thanks again, I'll send a donation your way when I get paid.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad100:
- using no sound mods

- siyah kernel

- rom version 8.3

- I don't have any other VOIP apps (which one do you recommend I test it with?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Installed skype for you to test. Sounds works fine on 8.4 with phen. Med. Kernel. No soundmods either.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thanks very much fella, much appreciated...but:

seems like its fixed mad100?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Great rom so far! I just can't get used to the default included tones. Andromeda (the default alarmtone) isn't exactly relaxing when waking up. Okay, the point of waking up may not be relaxing, but heartattack is on the other end :)

Is there an easy option to include the default Sammy ringtones/alarmtones as Aroma-option by any chance?

ps. Love the wallpapers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] poplectic:
Once again great work my man. Perfect!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
:D

I will look at doing that for 8.5

You are the first person to mention the wallpapers!

Thanks very much :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Girls with tiny shirts are always good ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guillots:
smooth like heaven, oh yeah!

hey! why do not i have that wallpapers??? hehe, ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
You probably do ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad100:
Skype issue fixed in 8.4

Still can't understand why it didn't work in 8.3

Oh well.... solved is solved.:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Good to hear!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guillots:
where are!? :confused:

buu :(

@DSA

is advisable to apply the BestMultiTaskingFix??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Wallpapers are copied to your internalsd in a folder called wallpapers

You can try the multitasking fix....but change your build prop and delete everything in the init.d folder and also sysctl.conf from the etc folder...I'm not guaranteeing any improved results...I don't know what he has included
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:

Thats some real improvements with the size compared to 8.4

Really nice work, hope you are getting some good sleep tonight.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
It's a good 'un :good:

Might have to remove a couple of the web mods....seem to be causing some kind of lag in the stock browser
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
thanx mate ! do your best !

i`ve done it for you , 5£ though but it`s a way to show you my gratitude ! :good:

am still in xxdlib, will upgrade when j4 comes out...

never cared about upgrading till now cos, i get an awesome battery life & stable performance with codecrom xxdlib coupled with phenomenal kernels...

Hi There

i just installed the CPU TUNER and seems all playing up restating the mob all the time
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Cpu tuner has incompatibilities problems with stweaks afaik
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Yay, can't wait to try my first XXDLJ4 ROM! Did you also include the Samsung sounds in this release? Hope it will release soon! I wish you lots of compiling and building speed, sir!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
To be honest i prefer the AOSP Sound.

Dream Theme ringtone FTW (Dosen't included in the ROM, so i pulled it of cm9 update.zip)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Hehe, seems like I'm not the only one to flash additional sounds ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
I'm gonna look at the sounds...

Is anyone interested in a 240dpi Rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Me personally not really. Thanks for looking into the sounds!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Not really no, I've got problems with my eyes ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
It's something I'm particularly interested in either....just thought it would be a nice option

Right, sounds it is then...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baderfgt:
Am I too late to answer this?? Because 240dpi looks awesome on this huge screen! :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Widget21:
If it's an option and not too much trouble yes why not?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
@DSA: Be advised that the features-list in the OP is a little outdated. Stuff like Phen. kernels are not in that list but they do appear in the changelog. No biggie though. Same goes for the top-page poll, which still lists "Lets do Jelly bean!" as option to vote for :)

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

If nobody wanted it, it would mean bigger ROM and more testing to do for every release and thus making your release schedule a bit bulkier, I suppose.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
nope, if enough people want it, i will look at providing it ;)

ok, it may be an option in the future

I know, and i will update it. But people should still be reading the changelog for the latest features etc

I need to get a mod to close the poll

i think i get what you mean...the Rom wouldn't be too much bigger - Only certain apps need to be modded, the rest work from the build.prop

The one thing that will be an issue is my internet and uploading two Roms

We will see..:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Hell yes we will! F5-ing my ass off for the new 8.5 ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Hehe..it won't be today dude

And thanks to whoever gave me my 1000th thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Aww, too bad && Hah 1001! ;)

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Oh by the way, I've selected ""AC!D Audio Engine" at "Music Players" (which gave me Walkman as player and acid as mod, maybe change that in the description of AC!D as it now says "Install AC!D Audio Engine" while I'm at the "Music Players" section)

But, when I plugin my headphones, I get various icons in my notification drawer for 5 apps:

Video player

FM tuner

Youtube

Google Now/Voice

Google Talk

I would prefer to have the musicplayer app that I selected in aroma to be in place on the videoplayer. When I plugin my headphones I rarely want to view a video but almost always just wanna listen to music. Is this something you can change in the ROM, or is this something beyond your control?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
And I thank YOU for my 500th thanks! :beer:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Theres nothing to change in aroma thanks- The acid audio engine is based around walkman player - but the player has been background modded to work with the acid mod (its also around 9mb bigger than the stock sony walkman). So its different to the other sony walkman option in music players section of aroma.

It installs 10 .apks in the system/app folder as well as other files in:

bin

etc

framework

lib

with additions to build.prop as well

Its an all in one package, as per the thread (i suggest you read the acid thread, download it yourself and have a look)

Tectas mentioned something about this a few pages back, have a look
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
Thanks! Yeah, page #81, but that's not really what I mean. Those are the two icons in the notification area, and I'm wondering about the five icons when you draw down the notification area.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sami55:
way you did not add touchwiz laouncher it is the best for me ??? i hope you will add this launcher in next update:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
That launcher is old fashioned and can be installed afterwards and will increase the storage amount, most if US opts for apex or nova which are way faster and customisable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] asc366:
am I weird for picking Holo? It seems closest to JB (it IS the AOSP JB launcher afaik) :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
No you're not !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
So you haven't even read the first post then? :rolleyes:

This is an aosp/samsung hybrid rom - no touchwiz

....maybe i should write it in big red massive letters as the very first line...having it in the 'Removed' section and saying in the opening lines that this is an aosp rom doesn't seem to be enough...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guillots:
Holo Launcher for me is better than the others...free lag, speed, simple settings, good customization....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
i tend to use apex. but they all seem to have their merits...

In other news..i finally have the AOSP clock up and running, no more fc!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dwaalspoor98:
+1

Thanks a lot for the ROM, tried quite a few, this is the best Sammy ROM, period!!

Would love to have the AOSP dialer..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Apex pro heavy user here as well!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thanks man..

Aosp dialer is a no go atm...240dpi Rom will be a while too

Great minds think alike :silly:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
Whats the benefit of a 240dpi ROM?

ta
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Easy explanation. .

Everything is smaller, so you can fit a lot more on the screen
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
my mind is not that great but ... i`ve got a big brain (i`ve seen that on a CT brain when a bike crossed over my head ...) so there is plently of room for development ... :cowboy:

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

and it can be reverted/adjusted quite easy (DPI changer from market) so , let`s play with it !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
any draw back of 240dpi

(what is std dpi?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
stock is 320

what kind of drawbacks? software? none if its done properly

everything is smaller, so for some people it would be too hard to view....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
Just wondering is all, never came across 240 roms so was curious.

I think I need to see it before I decide!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] emerald123:
Guys just installed latest version of this rom,.But it my s3 takes around 20-25 hours to get charged to 100%.Please someone help me with this issue.

My only problem with this Rom series is that I can't understand why is called codecRom ... :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
Thanks man. Random question: why i cant select the whole image while choosing wallpaper with the note 2 gallery? The AOSP gallery allowed me to do this. Any app that can do it for me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
what do you think it should be called? :confused:

you could try the sony gallery...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svid:
Do you have cwm with the gallery?can't reflash the whole ROM with wipe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Beastify:
hmm.... maybe something to do with your username...:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
I personally like codec, but maybe it's too common, because it fits on almost every rom based on stock and the additional compression is maybe missing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Ok :)

Do you all wanna provide some suggestions and I will have a think...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
I slept all morning after night duty and I realized!

Codifying/decoding = codec !

That's an agency should do!

Or maybe Rom Agency? You are the Agent (the dark one) and we are the ... others ... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
Thats exactly why i chose it ;):cool:

But im open to suggestions...Rom Agency is a good start :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DSA:
I forgot to mention:

i have deleted all the ICS stuff from the OTA app and started uploading JB stuff

Theres currently:

Bloatware (Aroma Installer)

Launchers (Aroma Installer)

Music Players (Aroma Installer)

Kernels (Aroma Installer)

Im adding more as i get time
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tectas:
What about dark project?

Dark at first because of your nick, but as well because of the inverted apps.

And project, from aosp, because it's styled that way.

And the whole together as short sign for darkside agents project.
