I doubt you will notice any major boost, this ROM has always been excellent on battery, but the base has improved since 5.2 so kernel has been updated etc. 7.1 has none of those features, add them using criscan's CWM flashable 6 in 1 multi mod:

Hi schoolsux could you make a zip with only khernel of V7.1 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] otto_di2:
LUV the work :)

Hello Dev-guy.

I love the simplicity of this ROM, one request could be that the possibility to track the phone from Samsungdive?

(I did install the package from homepage with the Samsung account, checked by Root explorer that the remote control is in the ROM, but 2 others af "remote something" is missing )

[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Sure, done! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Just use the forum search function ;) :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyb3rphr33k:
ok fixed :D

yeah i later read on other forums that it's sammy bug. Had to increase transition effects to maximum.

Thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BossStang:
Maybe i missed some info but is sammy browser in mb5?

Edit: nevermind downloaded zip and secbrowser is there. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Sammy browser is default in MB5. Don't flash the old package, or you might erase current version with an older version of Sammy's browser which the package contains. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BossStang:
Yea, no Im still on ma2 (works good). Gott fed up with chrome missbehaving and lagging and added the mb5 browser utill I get the time to do a clean flash. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adelancker:
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your awesome work. Love the rom, which makes my S3 feel much faster in comparison to the others I tried.

This one's a keeper! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyb3rphr33k:
It's been day no 4 and i love it. I've charged my phone twice since then!

Since this rom is clean from mods and stuff, what other users suggest to add apart from jkay?

I've noticed that bios boot animation doesn't work as intended, the sound is all jerky at the end.

S note port (from note2) works excellent though.

Again thanks OP for this rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zenosteam:
this is the best super light rom for me

Media storage is running rogue for me, It drained my battery overnight.

I just force stopped it and cleared data, That's enough right or should I do something else?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HueMann:
I thought it was the best rom but uhh.... the keyboard is really starting to get to me. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BossStang:
Just use a different keyboard.apk?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] henrybravo:
Yeah I don't know why post #2 says:

because this simply isn't true (every other Sammy based 4.1.2 ROM I've flashed within at least the previous several months did not have this issue, and I flash a new ROM every week or two). Unless all those devs are using a different Samsung keyboard? :confused: But Viking Way is a great ROM otherwise, definitely a keeper. I use SwiftKey anyway, but I did notice the autocorrect didn't work in the default keyboard before I installed SwiftKey.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
Thanks for all your work schoolsux, much appreciated and hope you enjoy your new phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] F3nr1s:
thanks for this very Good Rom i will stay with 7.1 until a stable 4.2 is out . Good news for you and the possesor of xperia z bad news for us . :)

Thanks for the outstanding contribution so far. I hope you come back to S3 because personally I don't see what Sony xperia z can offer more than S3. Here is a video :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCthWdmKQJY
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Theshawty:
If you don't, then you're ignorant. The Z's got a better camera, better screen, it's dust and water proof, far sexier than this dull plastic toy, it's equipped with a Qualcomm SoC so if you ever get tired of the TimeScape UI, you can flash an aosp because it'll run it far better than the S3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
I will always have a place in my heart for the SGS3, its a good phone and its still keeping up with speed and most stuff. Buying a new phone was technically not nessessary but my electronics interest made me!

However - Xperia Z feels fu*kin premium and the design rocks the plastic SGS3 all day. Black finish with clean looks and a thin, solid design.

Same thing with the UI... it looks premium as well and colors blend together very good. :cool:

1080p screen is sharp as hell and I can't imagine how they would improve the sharpness any further. Although I was satisfied enough with the SGS3 720p screen sharpness.

I didnt like the previous Sony (Ericsson) phones too much, but this one is really Sony's first hit in my opinion :)

HTC One is also very nice but it falls on the 4.7 screen... theres is simply too much dead space around the screen :(

SGS4 is all the same as SGS3, I wanted variation and I'm usually not a fan of buying plastic for same price as aluminium/premium glass designed phones.

Thaks to everyone that enjoyed & used VikingWay on the SGS3.

I'm pretty happy with stock Xperia firmware but don't be suprised if you see VikingWay for Xperia Z in the future! :cowboy:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RtN89:
Nooo the vikingway files site is down! Too quick! Wanted the MB5 kernel is it a special vikingway one or the standard MB5 kernel?

Goodluck with XperiaZ! My fave will always be vikingway, I am always changing roms but vikingway always keeps me on it for longest...

Hmm heard the HTC One's screen although smaller is close to surface and a lot better on different angles.

Still the Q, is it just the stock one, or any tweaks from schoolsux himself?

I will keep carefully this version 7.1 in my sd 32go!

Hi School, how long are you using it? How does the battery stand up?

I read http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/sony-xperia-z-1119637/review

According to what I see the camera shots don't look THAT good? Or am I wrong?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Yeah, I moved the files back to the original dir :)

I wont remove these files until I need the space for something, so VikingWay Files will be there for a while I guess!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Hey,

The battery life is alright, but I havent charged enough times to get the maximum capacity. Lasts through my regular day with no problem.

Comprared to the SGS3 battery is pretty much the same on Xperia Z, if not a little bit better - especially with the STAMINA mode activated.

Camera is good but not super impressive. However I think both battery and camera performance will be improved within some software updates!

Here are two pictures by me from each phones with fair conditions: Xperia Z ¤¤¤¤¤ SGS3

If you want the best camera possible on a smartphone I think you should go for HTC One though! ;)

Xperia Z loud speaker is placed on the right-side bottom, wich causes the sound to be blocked when holding phone with right hand, one of the dumbest design decisions I've ever seen on a phone.

But overall I'm very satisfied so far. Xperia Z is the most beautiful phone I've ever owned in terms of both design and software UI. Awating Android 4.2 with eager!

I'm gonna have a look at the HTC One when it comes to Sweden as well, but I think I made the right decision getting the Z.

If not, I just find the right buyer and switch phone again, hehe ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] huuub:
Thanks, I was waiting for your view on it!!!

I don't know but the pictures of the Xperia seem to granular. Maybe it is just me.

For now I guess I wil wait for the S4 and compare devices then...

And i see Schoolsux got another phone... I sold my S3 today and flashed v7.1 for the new user, he will be suprised about the battery life :)

VikingWay was my most used rom on the S3 for sure :D

Hi mate,

I guess the Dev won't be back on this ROM cause he's got a new smartphone...

If i can give you an advice, u can try the latest version of the DeltaROM.

It's a rock, stable, fast rom. No Force Close, so fluide, since 2 weeks, I'm so satisfied, it's an awesome rom!

The latest version is the v 1.1 online since last Saturday.

Enjoy...

Mohehe, even tho I loved the Xperia Z, I got and SGS4 Snapdragon variant.

Anyways, I started toying with a new "VikingWay" for SGS4 but the software is so full of **** I could just slim the rom to approx 700mb.

Maybie you will see VikingWay in the future but for now I don't feel like dealing more with the rom build.

This was just a little heads up for anyone whom might be interested... :)

Have a nice weekend everybody!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orion13236:
hi,

glad to see you, ;)

yes, the S3 is really still a great smartphone, I took the S4 then I sold it back to me S3 which cost me 2x cheaper because ultimately the S4 offered nothing more and it is not not useless software samsung who have convinced me.

I really love the S3 and it's true that I would have liked to see you continue to develop it but finally I also recognize that I'm using version 7.1 and I'm so happy, I wonder what you could do more ?

I also have the htc one and honestly I like as much as the other and the S3 is not at all "crashed" by htc one even in big applications, games, and I would even say that I prefer the screen S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] F3nr1s:
Ho i want a S4 only for vikingway :)

I think i will wait to see how the note 3 it is .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Theshawty:
Well, what did you expect with BloatSung? :p

I'd certainly love a Wikingway rom for the HTC One which I'll be getting ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gaelos:
is hdmi working on this rom ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Yeah it should be working just fine. You need to get a proper MHL adapter tho! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gaelos:
thx i have the cable but no hdmi screen available at work :) flashing right now :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] huuub:
What is your experience with it Schools? Better then the Xperia? Way better than S3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Nah pretty much the same, only a little bit more shining in all aspects. I even think of getting the Xperia again but I havent made up my mind completely. If you have better things to invest your money in, I would NOT say the SGS4 is an "incredible" improvement comprared to the SGS3 and therefore not worth it. SGS4 is nicer to hold than Xperia Z, but the Xperia Z is wayyyy hotter and feels more premium. Also the Xperia firmware is pretty clean and feels alot like stock Android.

Have a nice weekend :cowboy:

Speaking of premium phones ;)

Lol no chance of that me being a vegetarian

But on a serious note, my call time and screen time combined are about 7 to 8 hrs in a single charge and the phone lasts about 15 hrs. The less the call time and screen time more the battery life I get. Ppl who are getting 24 hrs plus can u Pls tell me ur call and screen time. The
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
Don't worry Viking! I'm still here with your Rom waiting for an update!

Battery drain ... ummm I always charge my phone but as long as the deep sleep is so ... deep it's a good sign and this is more important. You mate just post some BBS and will see the drainage better.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amitoberoi:
+1 I am here too. Ur rom is too stable to let go off. The best I have used on my s3. So I am gonna wait for the next version.

No drain, I think my usage is so high that it gives 15 hrs max only. :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KingAzzA:
Been using the rom since last night and it really is the best rom ever. Super smooth stable and battery life is brilliant also.

Just 1 question, when I go to nearby devices all options are greyed out. Any fix it is it anything that I'm doing wrong
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
You're right mate but that option will be available when the phone will be in share with another device, connected with it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KingAzzA:
So will it not allow me to share my videos on phone to my Sony tv which has dlna
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
aha ? it doesn`t work ? i didn`t try but it could be `cause i tried to share my phone with my wife`s sg s2 ... but i think we have to install that dlna app ... allshare ... don`t you think ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KingAzzA:
I thought that with nearby devices you can basically stream videos and music to any dlna enabled device. I've tried my Sony tv and bluray player but the o options are always greyed out.

Might contact Samsung and get a definitive answer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sneazel:
Tried nearly every Rom in here and must say

I been impressed by this Rom the most closely followed by checkrom v5. Happy to wait till the next release but it's hard to see how this can be improved lol. So fluid after 3 days no lag at all. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
might contact viking, maybe he removed this option considered as bloatware ... he will answer .

i`m not that good on sg s3 yet as i own it since for 3 weeks now ...

Adding new content for vikingxrom regulary!

Just added polaris viewer as flashable zip avaliable @ VxR files :)

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
all that i`m trying to say is based on my experience ... i mean , to have a complete image about a rom you need at least 3 - 5 days to test it .

first of all the battery has to settle and to try all the features inside ...

i always do a clean install so it will reflect the real potential of a rom .

i must say it again ! since i purchased this phone ( 4 weeks back) this is the most reliable one !

Hey viking ! do you want me to do a video preview with screen cast ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dsachdeva:
Yes absolutely great Rom. Only thing I need on top is the Samsung account as its do easy to set call forward or get logs remotely when I forget my office at home etc.

Can this be added even as a flashable zip.

Thanks.

Already added as a flashable zip :)
