I would remove these as well if they didn't break functionaity.

However anything may be removed in future versions. But for overall quality I choose to have these in v6 atleast.

AccuWeather widget (which I really like) needs the daemon.

An option in settings fc if SamsungAccount isnt included.

yahoo news daemon is needed for lockscreen news to work properly. (These news is useless for me in Sweden tho so I might remove the service.)

AllsharePlay is removed but the other allshare files is needed for DLNA to TV etc.

Remote control? What is the name of the .apk who manages this?

If anyone find stuff in the rom that is useless, feel free to PM me and I will check it out.

There is thousands of files and hundreds of apk's to scan through and verify the function off!

Nice, but there's really no difference with that modem, not for me but I can be wrong ;)

But, can make a flashable zip with the nordic modem anyway!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
And now we have this, I9300XXEMR2 (Germany). Would be interesting to see changelog from Samsung, when they spits out FW's almost every week. Feels like rebase can be done every 2nd, or 3rd.. Can't happen that much between them..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Fully agree! :)

Android 4.2 rebase is my next goal, whenever the Samsung releases the firmware.

Re: [ROM][28Jan][MA2] ¤¤ VikingWay v6 ¤¤ The Smooth, Clean & Epic Way!

Currently in v6 and it running really smooth. Just got 1 issue but I'm not sure if it's with the rom or the kernel as I changed boeflla kernel (2.7). As soon as battery is charged to 100% I don't unplug the charger as I'm still using the phone. It'll work perfectly fine but then for no reason it'll start doing stuff randomly. Example if I'm on YouTube it'll work perfectly then it'll stop the video, go to the main screen, select a different video, play then pause. It does random stuff no matter which app I'm in until I remove the charger and it'll work perfectly again

Any ideas ????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
It isn't ROM related so unless it is a known issue with your kernel it sounds like a static electricity problem where the capacitive screen is registering false touches due an earthing issue. Try a different charger and lead, if it still happens then your charging socket or touch screen might be failing.

Getting no sim card error

Guys I am on VikingWay 5.2. Few days back my phone suddenly restarted and I was getting no sim card error. Tired my micro Sim in other phones it was working and tired other sim cards in my phone still the same no sim card error.

So i tried reflashing the vikingway rom again and again after taking nanriod backup.It was not working. But suddenly after some time the sim card error vanished and i was getting netowork in my phone. So I restore from my back up and was using phone for 5 days no issues.

But again today the phone hanged while i was using and it restarted. I am getting no sim card error now. Dont know how to fix it? Is it a hardware issue.

P.S

I am try to install the stock samsung firmware, will let u know if i get lucky.

Hi everyone,

After flashing v6 (which is awesome BTW), I wanted a circular battery mod (and only it, no other screen off effect, no increase ring, no center clock, etc.). So, I flashed one. Everything's working good, except... I lost the status bar. Any help, please? :o

EDIT: I know, I posted this kind of request on the mod thread, but I thought maybe someone here already encountered kinda issue and maybe a way to restore/fix it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bgn9000:
Why not reflashing the rom ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nikuson:
time to release V7 ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
It's pretty much impossible to do that. IF you choose correct mod :)

SystemUI can have diffrent mods yes, like 1% battery, 23T or stock, stuff like that. (So make sure that match with what you have atm)

So you should not download a 1% battery theme if SystemUI don't have it - and vice versa.

Also, you said you didn't want anything else, don't worry - it's impossible since battery is SystemUI.apk and the examples you gave

is secphone.apk, android.policy.jar, so you can never get anything more with just a batterytheme.

Other than that battery is only icons, so it can't mess anything else up - as long as you download correct!

And now answer to your problem, you have the rom zip, right? In there you have /system/app/SystemUI.apk , now you want that SystemUI to your phone, in same path /system/app/

Fastest way is to go to your file on compter and with phone hooked up with USB, 'adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/' , if you don't have that then put the file on phone somewhere, then with rootexplorer or similar, put the file in correct place and reboot.

With that you can ALWAYS restore phone without reflash rom, so learn a method that works for you. And next time, download a SystemUI theme that matches what you have now. Problem solved.

Very handy if you want to go back in any way, like SecSettings.apk, everything can be done this way. That's how we try new features and so on, before a release. We don't reflash rom 1,000 times, but we 'adb push' _a lot_ :)

Might have beem confusing, but it's just ask again if anyhins is unclear.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] svetloslav:
Na.. to much of a trouble. Zisworg, just get the stock status bar, stock toggles and the circular battery you want from Raubkatze. Instal his basic mode for stock, than restore stock toggles and stock status bar from what you downloaded and than only the circular battery. All done in 5 sec.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zisworg:
Thanks you two for your answers!

I actually did your method (w/ Solid Explorer) tsw_sweden. And it obviously worked!! I didn't even know all the files were clearly accessible into the .ZIP. I thought everything was compiled or kind of "melted/mixed". Thanks again for your precious help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
Sv: [ROM][28Jan][MA2] ¤¤ VikingWay v6 ¤¤ The Smooth, Clean & Epic Way!

Glad to help! You see, the system ain't very complex. In thesame way you can open a apk, with 7zip or similar, and replace icons etc. Experiment with it. If you mess something upp, just copy back original file.

However, the file you want to paste inside must be compressed as Well. Example. You have a icon, lets say icon.png, if you open the apk and try to paste it, it will fail. But if you zip the icon first, the open it and pull over, success :)

So, open like framework-res.apk, systemui apk and look in res/drawable folders. Aha! You can change a lot! A new world will open :)

When you tiered of that, time to start with apktool and xml modding.

Once you start and makes some changes, you cant stop..;)

Hello guys, sorry if there isn't much update details in a while! :)

Anyways, v7 will be based on Samsung 4.2.x firmware whenever its released.

I'm personally still satisfied with v6 and see no reasons to make a new rom based on 4.1.2 with nothing new!

I've set up a poll so you can vote for the features in v7. Though poll results will not completely affect the final outcome of v7!

So are you plan to use the leak of 4.2 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
I had a weird incident yesterday, the phone had been running fine all day but the wifi suddenly changed from 'on' to 'switching on' all by itself. I couldn't get the wifi to change status so reset the phone. It then stuck on the initial boot loader screen and wouldn't progress onto the Samsung animation. A battery pull didn't help but recovery was still okay, I formatted system, data and caches then restored a nandroid of v6.

It's been fine ever since, I've reset a couple of times to check, but this is the first hiccup this phone has had - it doesn't sound like SDS to me, anyone have an idea what could have caused this?

Thanks.

Re: [ROM][28Jan][MA2] ¤¤ VikingWay v6 ¤¤ The Smooth, Clean & Epic Way!

Good news waiting V7 for testing 4.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Well, I guess most users, incl. me, like these apps and its just another step installing separately rather than have these apps from the start. Thats why you can tell in the poll if you want to save some size or get these apps from start.

I know it kinda conflicts with the "slim idea" of VikingWay but if major users want them I don't mind including the apps.

We'll see when I've made up my mind how v7 will turn out :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sermonth:
i agree with you and i think you should add svoice v7 because voice control getting FC without it. thanks for good news.

Yeah I know, that would att 70 mb to the rom though, for a single app I don't even use. Better hack settings app and remove the option... S Voice vill never be relevant to me if it doesn't support more languagues anyway!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
Good news:

Changed my mind again... the v7 release preview could use some testing and thoughts after all! It is "done" anyways so why keep the 4.2 preview experience to myself. ;)

v7 RP will not have any detailed changelog and the release does not count as a normal & polished release! Its for testing purposes but should work great.

- After some votes the poll gave me some statistics of what users want. Its always a mess to consider what / what NOT to include when both choices are equal in my head.

- Equal voting on keep/remove will keep the stock stuff since the 3rd party apps can be easily installed from Play Store!

v7 RP info:

- FC in settings when pressing Voice Control options (Kinda obvious eh? ;)

- Samsung account is now removed which causes "Settings > Safety > SIM card change warning" option to FC.

- By default android 4.2 creates a "0" folder within internal SD card folder where Android puts all new 4.2 stuff, which means stuff from 4.1 will be "hidden".

- No extended power menu yet. You'll have to enter recovery the pro way. :cool:

4.2 Leak impressions:

- Home button does not exit current app when screen turns off. Yay, finally!

- Lockscreen water ripple grey tint seems to be gone. Yay, finally x2!

- Bright & white statsbar icons. Not all have changed yet though. I think Samsung is on their way to make them all white for 4.2

- Statusbar auto brightness control is improved. Also the damn little dot is sharp as it should be!

- Some apk's size is reduced, which is a good thing.

- Overall on the right way!

4.2 Leak fails:

- Samsung keyboard still doesn't auto correct words. Has been like that since JB update, on ICS it worked perfect...

- No app quick shortcuts or extended settings for lockscreen. (Atleast not yet.)

- Statusbar quick toggles order can not be changed. (Atleast not yet.)

- No official flashlight / torch toggle yet. I see no reason why Samsung haven't added this function yet...

- S Planner FC's.

Please, make a small rom without a lot of things from samsung, there are a lot of rom with full samsung and other apps but not a lot with a small clean good rom :cool:

Maybe, you can have some zip that we can install in cwm with samsung parts like touchwiz, smemo, yahoo, etc...

It make more job but also more user of the rom with only what we need.

I also think this rom should be the smallest and cleanest possible. In the last couple of weeks I have been using the official CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2) nightly - pure android out of the oven without the crappy gapps just the clean minimalistic rom and oh boy what a marvelous experience. No background google/samsung processes to eat battery, snappy fast as hell, stable, most all works perfect, minus the FM radio, shorter Bluetooth range and a small glitch in the camera.

That's exactly what I imagine for viking rom. As it is now Cm 10.1 nightly has a better battery life than stock which is outrageous given that Samsung controls everything in their roms. Guilty are the background processes, so for viking rom the less crap included, the better. Whoever wants to tag an extra weight is and has always been free to do it on his own.
