When you install v2.1, choose stock kernel.

Then after you have added all your accounts, restored apps, waited for all synching to finish (you can only check this by going into each account in system settings, to make sure they have completed synching!) then use the phone as you would.

After that if you still feel like you would like to try Siyah, then go download the latest version (v1.6.5) because the version included in Dragon JB is already outdated and the newer versions fixed lag problems for alot of people across several roms.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

My results thus far :

1. System settings FC in application manager (Though I believe this is directly related to some data restored along with user apps, so will be testing this theory by starting from scratch and installing only the user apps without data, will report back.

2. Changing wallpaper on homescreen through Gallery (Note 2) still gives FC, but easily bypassed by using gallery or other program to set the wallpaper.

3. LAG : NO!!! Buttery smooth, but as mentioned in a previous post, upgraded Siyah kernel to latest version (As previous versions v1.6.3 and backwards were test versions and lag was present for some people) So if you use Siyah kernel with rom, make sure to flash latest Siyah (currently v1.6.5).

Only lag I did notice was during google play store app installations, which has happened to me before, and is nothing to be concerned about, as once all installations are done the lag dissapears.

Also lag has been known to happen due to MEDIA STORAGE process updating / synching / creating cache for Facebook gallery albums / picasa web albums synch (All you have to do is wait for the synching to complete, or you can disable the synching of Facebook gallery and / or picasa web albums, through system settings, and each individual account!!!)

4. I had an issue updating youtube app, but I think this was my own fault, as cant recall exact options I choose and what youtube backup I restored, so I will be looking into this to see if it persists upon my next installation.

Other than that, as previously stated, lightning fast, everything working, buttery smooth....stable! Daily driver worthy....Have not had the rom installed for long enough to comment on battery life (but then again battery life is dependant on many different things, and I do tend to use many battery saving techniques that most likely alot of people do not)

Hey biovolt i had an issue also with youtube on v1.8! Dont know why but when i would google a youtube video it would take me to a version of youtube that was not the black youtube already on the phone. This version was very laggy and almost unresponsive. Tried to update youtube and it kept telling me communication error or something like that. Phone has been very laggy and freezing quite often. Dont know why. Seems to get worse everyday.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

So biovolt you say to follow instructions to the tee with flashing v2.1 but select stock kernel first. Let everything sink up and after a while if i decide to then run siyah 1.65? Just making sure. I've always used siyah kernels. Only the phone gets extremely warm at times and the lag issue is present. Love dragons roms with siyah kernels. Always been silky smooth.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
hi biovolt well as much as i like to use dragon roms, but having setting fc is a no no for me, so i flashed omega rom and guess what no more system settings fc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NeoXTC:
ROMS is lagging this is with virtually all mods enabled ext4 tweaks and such. (installed but left as default). Will wipe and re-install with stock kernel and maybe cut back on some mods and see what happens. (after 8hrs of usuage)

I'm thinking it's siyah kernel is the problem because in 2.0 didn't have this problem or fc (other than the known one of setting wallpaper and selecting gallery)

Will flash and report back.

Does anyone know a mod to reduce the time after pressing "End Call" button on the phone. I have seen this feature on very few JB ROMs and are not mentioned. Is this a mod? Can you please include it in your Dragon ROM? can it be downloaded somewhere?

Also, how can I get back the stock look of Sammy keyboard?

Thanks guys for your help and excellent work... a small donation is coming your way if you can add this mod (i.e. reducing the wait time after pressing "End Call."
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Well they not specifically made for jb so maybe just a case of that. I will have a look around at some point to see if there are new dialers out there for jb.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Yeah just do that, of course I can't guarantee 100% success rate, but definitely always worth a try to try new roms, and find the one that works best for you.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Well just a side note, I suffered from the settings FC on Criskelo rom also, so it leads me to believe that it might not be the rom but instead some data causing an issue, also a lot of people don't suffer from this problem at all, both on the Dragon JB and Criskelo rom, and I think there was another rom also where some people had the same problem, just can't remember which one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jemael972:
please a link for stock kernel xxdlib
[Galaxy S III Android Development] advr:
It's in the kitchen. coose the modem xxdlib as well.

I did several times reinstall the stock kernel after using several Siyah kernels.

installation with the dragon kitchen works perfect for me!! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cmcole101:
Unfortunately, I've had the same issue of horrible lag times when using the siyah kernel. If it is installed, from Dragon's JB version 2.0 to 2.1, siyah v1.6b13 to v1.6.3, my phone turns to molasses. When I flash back to stock XXDLIB everything returns to speed.

However, my ROM information shows Dragon's JB version is 1.8 and I've wiped data, cache and Dalvic cache when installing Dragon's JB v2.0, v2.0.1 and v2.1, and the same ROM version of 1.8 is shown. When I go to Settings>Extra Settings>DragonICS OTA Update, it shows version 1.8 and the update icon appears saying a new ROM is available. Additionally, the build number went back to XXDLI8 after flashing v2.1.

As a test, I did another fresh install of v2.1 after wiping everything, and before putting any apps all the above information was present, so I do a restore back to Dragon's JB v2.0.1 and flashed v2.1. Again, all the above information remains.

Am I missing something or is this a known issue?

In any case, I simply LOVE this ROM and think it is the best I've used to date. Thanks to the developers for all their hard work put into this ROM for us. :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tommyrumbler:
*i can't make location work - OMC can't even update weather info even via GPS

*visible lag when browsing through Chrome and switching to other apps - this on both stock and siyah kernels

*random reboots - happened 3x in two days, twice when playing video, the other when editing main screen icons

*audio is loud but low freq/bass is lacking, even with DSP tweaked to optimum for a more bass-y feel

these after a very clean install, with no left over folders, complete wipes, no extra tunings or init scripts implemented other than what the ROM already has.

otherwise an excellent ROM - i like the concept and over-all build. it's still running my S3 to date.

consider my post as a bug report list. if it doesn't help in anyway, please disregard/delete it. thanks for the huge effort!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NeoXTC:
Ok after re-install and reading other post I'm sure it's siyah kernel that makes the phone lags. I'm on stock and everythign is flying right now. I'll wait for a more mature siyah kernel

Super Wipe

Hi could you add the super wipe script to the AROMA installer..

I cant find the link ....

[Galaxy S III Android Development] 440hsp:
I have another question for you guys before flashing. The last several times i have flashed newer versions of dragon roms ( only one i have been using ) when i first sign in to google after fresh install it doesn't install the apps i had on the phone in previous version. Only way to get them back is with tibu. Is there something i'm not doing because it used to automatically install all previous apps without tibu before.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
biovolt just try for yourself an omega rom and all your system settings fc will go away i have over 350 apps installed and always I got setting fc with dragon and turkbey roms
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Ok let's get started with the following :

1. Siyah kernels v1.6.3x through to v1.6.4 were test versions related to locating a problem caused (lag problems) when the developer made the Kernel work on both CM and Sammy. So, if you were one of the lucky few, you did not have lag using any of these versions, however most people did experience some forms of lag using those old versions of Siyah.

Remember siyah kernel is under development and is not meant to be a stable kernel, so if you want stable kernels and if you can't take the time to go read the siyah kernels thread daily and flash a new version of the Kernel almost daily, then stick to the stock kernel!! The stock kernel works perfectly well. Else download the latest Siyah or other JB kernel and try them.

All i am trying to point out is that most people's lag problems are caused by their own doing and not by the rom!

2. Considering those versions are still appearing instead of the updated versions, it sounds like you are either skipping an installation step or you are doing something wrong or forgetting something during installation.

Firstly, make sure you flash the rom using CWM Recovery v6.0.1.2 (This recovery already has to be flashed on your device when flashing the rom, this does not mean that you need to select to flash this recovery during installation)

Secondly, yes I see you say you wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache, but that is not complete, also go to "mounts and storage" in recovery and "format system".

Then flash the rom, but follow the instructions in the aroma installer carefully and to the letter. I would choose stock kernel at this point until I can download a later version of whatever kernel I decide to flash later.

Also once you have flashed the base and it reboots to device, check the versions at this point!

Then boot to recovery, flash the kitchen, and when it is done, check the versions again! (Before restoring any of your backups)

Now restore your backups and check the versions again, if the versions were fine up until this point, then you know that you are restoring your backups incorrectly.

For the guys that are having problems with Siyah Kernel, just get the Siyah Kernel RC2 Repack :) It works like charm with no lags!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] 440hsp:
Biovolt i got a question for you buddy. i finally took the dive and flashed v2.1.

1. Backed up everything as normal and even used a new app in the arsenal. My backup pro.

2. Wiped everything and formatted system

3. flashed system first and let everything settle for around 30-45 minutes

4. Went back into the kitchen through recovery and picked stock kernel, no transparency, inverted gmail, and a few other small things but here is my issue!! I chose a boot animation twice. first one was the blue havoc ( got stuck at boot animation). went manually back into recovery and back into the kitchen and chose not to install anything except for the razor blue animation because i had installed everything else earlier. Flashed new boot animation and got stuck again on second boot animation for around 15 to 20 minutes. went manually back into recovery and now i am choosing no boot animation and not installing anything else. Should i have wiped everything each time before i went back into the kitchen and reinstalled what i wanted? Little frustrating trying to figure this out.

Going to go back to m latest backup until i can figure this out.

Thanks zodiaxe66. I did try tge quickboot option once but it stuck once so i didnt do it again. Will reinstall everything again and try that. Thanks buddy.

You need to flash the system 1st.. Then go back and flash the kitchen... Otherwise you will have just flashed the mods over the rom you have originally...

I am still running version 1.7 as i found that to be the most stable out of them all and haven't felt the need to upgrade but im interested in this latest version, i jumped to Liquid Jelly Bean AOSP but cant stick on that build until they get the wifi tethering fixed.

I assume i don't have to do a full wipe to update to the latest version here?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 440hsp:
Ok guys i have flashed v2.1 again. Restoring all my apps right now through backup pro. I'll keep you posted to see how everything goes. Chose stock kernel to see if lag disappears.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zodiaxe66:
Read my post,some system apps were changed(phone,contact,WiFi changer,font installer,chrome browser and a few others I always uninstall),battery and clock changed,nothing more,ohh yeah siyah kernel changed,but not the build nr in settings/phone,only in setcpu.

I almost never use any mods,except sometimes center clock,when I'm to lazy to change it

myself.look better when u alter it directly in systemui than flashing a vr-theme,more sharp.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 440hsp:
ok here with an update. everything seemed to be working fine until i tried to open some of my games. Almost every game i have FC's everytime i try and open them.
