Well, I'm actually downloading the official XXELLA firmware right now!

Gonna dig into it tomorrow after work, hopefully we'll se a VikingWay v4 very soon. :cowboy:

Yeah I know, the guy who provided this home button "fix" wont share his sources so that I can fix this for new versions. Hopefully I sort this out soon. Use the power button to wake screen for now or Smart Stay ofc ;)

Damn it.. just finished my LL5 and trying to find a place to upload it. Well, back to the drawingboard then. But just a base change shouldn't be that much work. Hm, looked at the changelog for it, not that big diffrence from LL5. Wonder if it's even worth the hassle..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] orion13236:
I'm ashamed ...

I am ashamed .... :o

first excited by the fluidity and speed of V3 (like any Viking Rom !)

I returned to version 2.3 because even though I really appreciate the slight Rom, some functionality integrated as:

- Home button now only turns on screen When It just turned off and current app DOES NOT quit and go home to!

- Hold home button on lockscreen to use When torch / flashlight! Thanks to Tamerlan2009.

- Long press menu to kill current app!

I miss them terribly in the V3 and I'm too lazy to just reinstalled one by one

this is not a complaint. I appreciate enormously the work Schoolsux and I simply pass my turn to V3.

Until the next version will I'm sure extraordinary

Whatever you do please incorporate the menu kill apps option :):thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kry0bas:

I really appreciate the work you do, but out of thix things i revert back to 2.3 because of the modem. I know i could flash an other modem, but i loved the stability of the rom, the durability, the strength and stability of the signal.

In overall, i think the 2.3 is the perfect choice for me! Thank you for this nice piece of firmware :)

Cwm recovery 5.5 use to be available on the viking rom recovery files. Can you make available for download :D ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
Nandroid first then format system and cache, wipe dalvic. If updating from stock rom or earlier viking just install the zip, otherwise format data for a complete wipe. Once zip is installed flash a modem and matching RIL only if you are outside europe and you have a compatible i.e. 4.1.2 modem specifically for your country.

On first boot check data connects then reboot a couple of times before you change anything.

* I didn't flash the new bootloader yet while testing & running this, just so you know!

* Note that im currently researching for a "home button wake screen but does NOT exit current app" solution. Its really easy to avoid this issue tho, Samsung gave us Smart Stay didnt they? ;) Also train your super-brain to use the power button to wake screen instead!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:

Like always V4 is very smooth and fast . Again a great ROM .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] svetloslav:
Thanks for v3, really great, I love it. The best rom so far.

On another note, I put the circle battery status from raubkatze, but it is not accurate. I activated the percentage next to it and ooh boy it is off most of the time. The circle battery indication jumps from 100% to 90%, than later if it feels like it goes to 85% and maybe after that to 70% straight. While the native battery percentage goes quite smooth with 1% decreases. Can someone give me advise how to solve it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] F3nr1s:
Before flash a theme from raubkatze you have to flash one of the mod in this thread .

One user advised me to use MEGA WIPE script , did it after taking a backup to my ext card and installed V3 , unfortunetly V4 just landed now. :(

@schoolsux

Thanks for adding the installation instruction.

Just one thing though , in V3 , why does colors look dull , i have switched to dynamic , but still 4.1.1 Stock ROM had better colors imo , but on v3 colors look dull and washed out . I have set it to auto brightness and switched off "Auto Adjust screen Tone " . Is it something to do with 4.1.2 ?

Thanks for V4 , but like i used to ask many developers , is it possible to give a small update from V3 > V4 ? Like me many arent fortunate enough to be on fast broadband :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsw_sweden:
Just to explain why. Stock it uses/changes picture after 10%, the mod uses picture after 1%. So with just the circle and no "mod", it

will

be 10% off :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kachrukamble:
Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system is running.

Bootloader are used to boot operating systems, usually each operating system has a set of bootloaders specific for it.

Bootloaders usually contain several ways to boot the OS kernel and also contain commands for debugging and/or modifying the kernel environment.

Not much difference from v2 and v3, which already felt damn stable and great imo! ;)

It might be illusions, but it feels like the battery life is somewhat better in LLA. :cowboy:

If Samsung doesn't update anything major theres really no reason to care about updating until Samsung releases their 4.2 firmware because the current firmware is really fast and stable! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] svetloslav:
Coming from v3 did a Megawipe and than v4. Really stabel and fast, but:

1. Up to v3 once the system booted it would give a notification that it was loading the external card. Now with v4 it is loading and recognizing the card but gives no notivication. Am I missing something or is it due to that lib, which was removed between v3 and v4?

2. Another thing is in v4 when I hit restart I don´t get the extended boot options for Hotboot and Recovery, but the standard SAMSUNG boot as if the phone was not rooted. In v3 I had updated recovery to the latest from the zip file in the first post here. I am rooted and can get to recovery through the 3 keys, but now I don´t get the extended reboot menu. I wonder if it is due to the use of the Megawipe script.

3. Finally I think SAMSUNG boot logo gave a bit more profesional look to the rom, since that X looks mot out of place . Other than those 3 comments the rom is really fantastic, thanks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
My first boot of v4 gave me a nasty pause, thinking I'd flashed a nexus rom by mistake - I'd skimmed through the change log and seen the boot animation change, hadn't registered the nexus part.

I think Schoolsux is right in aiming for a stock experience with just the core necessitates remaining. If you want custom bling then it's up to you to find and flash it, everyone uses their phone differently and it makes extra work for the chef.

The only drawback is that a lot of users new 'problems' may turn out to be addons incompatible with the base.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:
1. The lib I removed is only affecting face unlock, wich isn't included in this rom anyway. My external SD card is broken so I can't test that right now, but I can asure you I have not changed anything that should affect that. v4 was more or less created by the same process as v3.

2. The phone is very much rooted! I decided to let the VikingWay app take over the reboot into recovery functionality in this version!

3. Personal opinions. I make this rom my way! ;) I can never satisfy everyone anyway, but feel free to report bugs.:cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schoolsux:

Everything else is working perfect, I did a clean instal after Megawipe and used the modes form raubkatze to restore the stock toggles and kept only a circle battery mod. So I have an almost totally virgin v4 install with nothing to interfere. Unless it was a change by SAMSUNG in XXELLA, but I hardly doubt that.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] boomboomer:
Nobody, including Sotmax, knows what causes or cures SD - so many people winding themselves into a frenzy over this. Bottom line is that Samsung will repair it if it happens, if they release a true fix before mines breaks then fine.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] flight23:
The OP says that V4 has the kernel of ELLA. In the sudden death thread was mentioned that it is almost sure, that ELLA kernel includes SDS fix. So I'd guess that v4 includes the fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shr95:
been using this rom for days now! :D super fast and butter smooth! whats the best kernel for battery life anyone? heard the latest perseus fixes both mem bug and SOD! anyone running perseus?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] svetloslav:
As far as I understand the SDS is fixed somewhat in ELLA, but with it on stock a new boot loader is installed too. V4 here has all ELLA, but luckily it does not update the boot loader because it has something wrong and makes rooting impossible unless you downgrade to an older boot loader and stock rom. As I stated above in Sotmax thread there is quite a lot of explanations about the subject. Hence my question earlier here.
