Thanks for your reply, BioVolt.

I'm 100% with you on #1. It's always a gamble when using test kernels and I have no complaints, nor was I complaining in my post about the lag times. For the past couple of years I've been installing custom ROMs in all of my devices, and understand the consequences associated with doing such. Being that I'm a computer engineer and HUGE high-tech geek, the enjoyment obtained from working with these ROMs far outweighs the dangers. :laugh:

As for #2, you are correct in that I didn't format the mounts, but I do use the latest versions of CWM for all my devices, and v6.0.1.2 is currently installed on my S3, which is how I flashed all ROMs.

I see there is v2.2 available for download, so after I have it I will do as you suggest by wiping then formatting the system folder. Hopefully this will give me a fully correct version running smooth as an android's butt. :fingers-crossed:

Again, thanks for your input. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
where is V2.2 changelog. The last changelog are 2.1.........
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ardsar:
V2.2 working great.

However google search still needs to be removed by using titanium backup and re-installed from the market to stop the force closes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] briandevlin:
Still have problems with widgets widget picker fc's. Anyone else? Done a full wipe before installing. :confused::confused::confused:

Rom is excellent!!

But size of the Rom is Giant for me.

My 512kbps connection takes 6 hours to download.

it will be really great if Dragon split it in to two package.

first one should be Base Rom with all tweaks included

and second one should include Mods and Themes.

Any way its my own opinion and I know developing Rom is big Time consuming Task for Dev.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] oxidil:
Agreed. Good suggestions. Thanks

There is a new Siyah Kernel 1.6.7

Do you guys have also no Bootsound ? Is it still work in Progress ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
+1 can u make a kitchen app for all mods and themes etc like few roms having .. by doing that it will reduce the size of rom ..

ITS A JUST SUGGESTION

Running V2.2 with Siyah 1.6.7 :o

No problem at all. One time and quick installtion. NO FC's so far.

Still a little lag in searching contact (400).

I am using TW 4x5 with NO scroll and I cannot delete a page when I accedently made one...Does anyone else have this little problem?:p

Great ROM Dragon and I think I am the only one who likes the new keyboard.:D:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Aldonski:
Hi

Your Rom made a folder called DragonRom on my internal SD with a file in it called backup.sh

Now I ve changed the rom and I can t delete the file. I tried formatting with windows and root explorer and that file remains.

How do I delete it?

Thank you very much

Think this has to do with the same reason that application manager FC for some people (including me).

I now believe that :

#1. It is not rom related, as it happens to some people across many roms.

#2. It is not DATA related, thought that when restoring some of our apps, some or other app data might be causing it, but I tested this theory and this was not the case.

#3. Which leads me to believe that it is a specific app that is not playing well with JB v4.1.1, and as such I need to learn how to make logs and reproduce the problem, then need to learn to understand the logs in order to locate the problem.

google talk not signing in anymore

Fantastic ROM. flashed it over 2.1 without wipe and everything works perfectly, except talk. it just won't sign in. i can see all my contacts but they are all greyed out and shows me offline. tried on both wifi and 3g but its the same. uninstalled it via titanium rebooted re-installed and restored but still the same. checked with my friend who is on a stock ROM thinking it might be an outage from Google's server but all is fine there.

Any ideas on how to get it to work again ???

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andjoid:
Hi guys, thanks for the rom, it's pretty smooth but I'm still on stock Kernel, and I wonder if I should get 1.6.7 of Siyah ? Wich one is better for battery life and performances ? Thanks mates !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
Biovold i don't know why you don't want to try an omega rom, and you will see that settings fc is rom related and not app related, i had the same problem with dragon rom, and I gave up i tried to backup without data and same fc problem, then i decided to install omega rom and guess what i have no settings application fc anymore at all
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dragon7780:
Flashed the rom many times and tested by many people now, no complains from testers about settings fc's also tested it myself installed many apps (200 apps) also tested with different ways of modding the rom themed, not themed and so on, never had any fc's on the settings, so i know its not rom related, but what the exact problem is i cant tell because ive never experienced it. lets hope next release from samsung will fix it for you guys..​
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zimmerAndy:
Nice job Dragon I downloaded this v2.2 today at work thru ota man I love that ota in 10min I got it!! flash with only wipe in aroma till now super fast and smooth with nova launcher stock kernel dragon jb theme etc... not a single fc... this guy deserve a donation when I'm at home thanks again....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
going to flsh this rom. normal flashing na? wipe data cache dalvik and flash rom that's it na? do I need to flash touch revry to get all stuff working ..? any bugs on v2.2 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
When you say you uninstalled it, then reinstalled it from market?

And then you say "restored" after reinstall?

I think you should try, uninstall, then install from market, but DO NOT restore the data! Then try it again, hopefully this works, unless this is what you did, but didn't explain properly.

#1. Best to flash with recovery v6.0.1.2 and flash from internal memory. (yes some people have success with flashing from v5.5.0.4 recovery and from external memory, but if you want to be safe and avoid unnecessary problems, best to do it this way).

#2. Wipe cache & dalvik cache (yes you are correct, but once again if you want to be safe, then also do the next step).

#3. Go to "mounts & storage" and format /system (This is especially good choice when coming from other roms or when the base of the rom you flashing changes).

#4. No major bugs, daily driver worthy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
if i flsh with ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 with internal memory

is this safe? coz i do nt want to use recovery v6.0.1.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
I agree it is not rom specific! I had the same issue on another rom.

So it is related to something on the rom, but also due to something user side. (Starting to think it has something to do with a script, will keep you posted, going to learn how to make a log of the error, and then try to see what I can figure out from log).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] clickqass:
It isn't available in market(play store). I think its an android core app and can't be uninstalled via menu, just disabled. But i did manage to uninstall/delete it via titanium backup. I couldn't find it in market so i restored it from a backup done by titanium.

edit got it 2648054153C981260116A5E838149A14 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Ok, but then make sure to restore it without data, only restore the app and see how you get along.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Anybody knows how to read android logs and make sense of it?

I haven't really taken a look at it, I just reproduced the System FC by going into my application manager, so maybe someone knows easily what the error is....

Think the error happens somewhere around here ? >>

Congrats Dragon..this is the absolutely best build(2.2) from u on JB..

Everything works brilliantly,again amazing..

Browser is smooth and experience is butter like..

(Crap) now I have edit my sig. Again.....d... u dragon:laugh:

Thanx D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] z0mbi3:
I seem to be having a problem, I'm unable to receive incoming calls or texts. I can make outgoing calls and send texts just fine.

This is new with 2.2, was working in the previous version.

Also, any pointers on how to restore an EFS tar backup? I want to see if that fixes it.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
I don't know if there is an easier way but there is an app you can download called "hc-ktool" that can restore efs from backup.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] codo2003:
Thanks Dragon for this perfect UPDATE 2.2.

Works smoothly and without any FC for me at least.

Speed is fast and quadrnet gave me upto 6700 with Siyah kernel 1.6.6i.

Thanks again. I love your ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
well my friend me too but dragon and biovolt insist its not rom related, while I insist it is rom related, i told biovolt to try omrga rom and he will see that he will not get fc in settings application but he does not want to do that, i don't know why?

well for me i love dragon roms they are so cool, but unfortunately having fc in settings is an absolute no for me.

anyone who has fc setting application try omega rom and it will disappear
[Galaxy S III Android Development] briandevlin:
You are correct hykhleif I have tried most roms

Ultimate Rom, Viking Rom, etc etc no fc in settings it IS Rom related. :banghead:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
thanks my friend

well that proves my theory and please don't treat us like newbies here.

it happened on another rom too besides dragon, but i can't remember which one i think on turkbey rom.

Please dragon something is wrong and this goes back to about the last 3 releases

u might not suffer from it , but many of us do, something is wrong

again dragon, please please don't misunderstand i love your roms, and wish to come back and use your roms as daily rom, as your roms are the best

Again Biovolt i repeat if u try an omega rom u will see there is no fc setting not matter what you do wth titanium either do back up of apps only or apps and data no problem will happen at all in settings
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Regarding Settings FC :

My final option to test whether or not it is rom related or something on my internal memory that is causing it, requires a FULL (MEGA) WIPE (Formatting of internal memory, completely wiping every single file and folder on my internal memory).

Note : I have not completely wiped my internal memory since ICS roms & since installing many roms, all my folders and residual files have always remained in internal memory. The reason I have not done this, is because I have a problem where I am unable to mount my external memory card through CWM recovery, and as such, if I did such a complete wipe, it would wipe the Rom installation file off the internal memory also, and then I don't know how i would flash a rom ??

So I am going to try formatting my external memory card, which I also have not done ever! and see if CWM mounts it, if I succeed with this, then I will format my internal memory and flash from external and then test after restoring my apps if I still run into the System FC.

Also to note : Alot of people who have that LAG, caused by Media Scanner, during initial account setup etc... meaning you can barely use your phone during 1st 15minutes of initial setup, this is usually caused by the same reason, and supposedly can be circumvented by doing a complete wipe beforehand.... which tells me, that there is data somewhere that just doesn't get cleaned up with the normal cache / dalvik / system wipes.

So I am going to try all this and will let you know how it all goes, but if I can't get the damn external sd card to mount in CWM, I don't know how I will ever achieve this :-S

Maybe somebody has had such a problem mounting their extsdcard with CWM and can give me some pointers??

EDIT : Just formatted extsdcard with phone and tested, it is now mountable via CWM....so I will be proceeding with MEGA WIPE and then flashing the rom on BARE BONES SGS III
[Galaxy S III Android Development] briandevlin:
Dragon I also been using your roms, but this official stock version you are using has a bug somewhere in settings I have had fc's in settings since you released V2. Try going into settings click apps and scroll through apps :eek: fc :D

Sorry but you could have shortened this post by saying " I'm going clear all and try again, but I'm having problems mounting my xt sdcard " Just over one line it's easy. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
I am not disagreeing with any of you, afterall I suffer from the same problem.

But I don't want to believe it is rom related (including the other roms I tried and had the error on), until I rule out all possibilities.

You see what you have to realize is the following :

#1. I have system FC on Dragon / Turkbey / Criskelo roms...ok so something that is the same in all those roms could be causing the problem OR

#2. Something about my particular setup / apps / data doesn't play well with the way that all the above mentioned roms are constructed AND SO

#3. Even though, there are roms that don't give you the error, it may not necessarily be that they have "FIXED" something, just might be that something is circumvented and does not allow "your particular setup / apps / data" to cause the error. Which is great, because you don't have the error now, but what is not good is, that nobody knows what caused it in the first place?

So what I am trying to say is, that just saying, this or that rom doesn't have the error, does not help solve the problem, so I am trying to troubleshoot and locate what could be the cause of the problem in the first place.

I am not trying to be rude or calling anyone stupid or anything, I am just mentioning the ways / routes I am trying to utilize in order to help everyone, because "jumping ship" (changing to another rom) just because of a minor glitch is not a solution in the long run :)

Flashed v2.2 from internal memory using CWM v6.0.1.2, did Data, Cach and Dalvik wipe.. after installation phone reboots into recovery everytime, why am having this problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Yes I could, and I could use shorthand and make it even shorter...

But if you have been around long enough and tried to help people as much as I do you would realize that writing short descriptions of what you are actually trying to achieve, only results in more questions and more to answer.

Not everybody knows everything, and as such some people require more details and step by step guides (so maybe you lucky and you don't need these things, but that doesn't mean other people don't need them).

So please refrain from commenting on my posts if you have nothing constructive to point out, help to offer.

I will continue to offer support and help to those that need it and will continue to explain everything in as much detail as possible, including things which will not be necessary for most of us, but will always help those who come from no previous knowledge.

Hi

Also i have it installed about 20 times, and it looks like its a mod of a battery i dont know wich, but i have installed with stock kernel and all options i like, then the 1.6.7 kernel, and blue mod 4.1 and blue subtext and the rom function is very good very fast and no fc

try it and report please
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hykhleif:
biovolt when i install any rom i do a complete wipe for internal memory too,

i even installed stock rom JB and did a factory reset, by the all internal memory was deleted, then i did wipe data factor reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, format system and then i flashed dragon rom and fc stetting happens after i finish from backing up from titanium. Also i tried installing all my hundreds apps manually one by one and fc in settings.

this does not happen with omega roms after i finihsed flashing omega i even did restore a back of app and data for all my 350 apps and no fc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dragon7780:
When formatting internal sd card just make sure you have a rom installed then in CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 (one i use) goto advanced and format internal sd card, reboot phone, your system will start normally in android, no problem.

then copy rom to your internal sd (i make a folder like so Roms/JellyBean/Dragons_JellyBean_V2.2.zip). then goto cwm again and perform a full wipe (format system preload and wipe data/factory reset) then flash rom.. now you have a clean and fresh installed system/phone

Maybe this is why many users having the problems with settings fc's. Because i flash roms often ofcourse, and install apps and de-install apps, there will always be some junk left on the internal sd card from previous roms or apps installations.. i format the internal sd card one time a month depending also on how many roms i flashed and if i flashed other based roms. the other based roms are important because they use other paths and other file names and so on.. so when coming from other based rom i always do a format on my internal sd card!!!!

Also i always make sure the internal sd card is as clean as possible.

Again:

When you've installed many roms, apps and de-installed apps and flashed different based roms, there is always junk left on the internal sd card that can cause problems.. FORMAT INTERNAL SDCARD OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE A FLASHOHOLIC!!!!!!

when i where building roms for sgs2 there was as many of you can remember also problems with battery drain and heat problems, that also was due junk on the internal sd from previous roms installed and apps.when formatted the internal sd the issues where solved and you had better rom experience without all the wierd problems.

Thats why i keep doing this on the sgs3 and i never experienced the problems i sometimes read in this thread...

Ofcourse there where some bugs in the roms but the only bugs i can find at the moment in V2.2 is that polaris office doesnt work again(FC), i found the problem already and solved it... and no boot sound..not yet fixed... and google voice search doesnt work(FC)...not yet fixed.

so everything besides this should work without any fc's or other problems..

The rom is very fast and stable (tested with siyah and stock kernel and different mods from kitchen) the kitchen is almost done and error free but more kernels are being added, and maybe some requests from user what they like to see in the Dragon Kitchen:D

Hope this solves many of the users issues they run into, and they all can enjoy Dragons Jelly Bean Roms.

Now lets wait for new firmware from samsung and hope it will be better then XXDLIB;)

Also Biovolt thanks for all your support on this thread. you answer alot of users questions the right way and it really helps them solve there issues often. again many thanks, it saves me alot of time that i dont have, and the time i have i can put it in building and improving the roms:good:

Greets

[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
Thank you for your kind words.

I have always wanted to format my internal memory every time I flash (as I also believe this is the best way to test everything and avoid any conflicts even when a wipe is not necessary) but I have avoided it like the plague due to the fact that I could not mount my external memory card, but now that I have fixed that problem, I will be wiping everytime and I prefer this.

Anyway, I will report back as I continue to test my settings FC problem and if I find a solution.

Thank you for your hard work and awesome rom, keep it up :)

P.S. As for user requests for future releases :

#1. More kernels : For those that want other kernels like Phenonmenal kernel etc... (I am happy with Siyah and will stick with it)

#2. Since you introduced custom boot animations, maybe some more alternatives here ?? (don't know which one's though, maybe some more users can recommend some, I like the razr blue one...only wish it was actually green lol to go with your green theme :P ).

i found out why system settings fcs

ok guys after going crazy this is what i found out

as i stated i installed omega rom v27.1 without any theme and did a back up for all my app and data thru titanium, and everything was working so great and i had no fc at all in settings. Then few minutes ago i wanted to flash a new theme and boom i got the famous settings fc

this concludes it has to do with all the problems we see in settings fc.

it must be the themes that are used in roms ( turkbey and dragon ) or if you flash a theme that is not modded correctly

now i flashed back omega 27.1 without a theme and everything is fine no fc in settings
