Not sure i don't use the kernel lol. Ask in the googymax thread. May be a small bug. How is it compared to boeffla in terms of battery life?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cocogary:
Boeffla.

I restarted my phone and it seems to be OK. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Nice restarts always help. :D

OTA touchwiz link broke

Hi guys,

Trying to change the launcher after i've installed the rom with nova launcher but when I go to touchwiz and select download I get an error.

Is anyone else getting this? Also is this the best way to change the launcher to another one such as Apex?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
I have a question, but It's perfectly fine if I don't get an answer.

My phone's been slowing down a bit lately, and I think it's time to do a full wipe and re-flash my rom. I don't like doing this too often as I have a lot of stuff on my phone, so it takes a lot of time.

What I wanted to know (and as I said, if you can't say, then it's fine) is if I should go ahead and re-flash V13 now or if I should wait till V14 is out if it's just around the corner.

I don't mind waiting a few days, but anything more that a week and I might as well go ahead and flash V13. So a simple "wait" or "don't wait" would do me fine.

I'm guessing the only one who can answer this is Kryten2k35. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
That was happening to me too. Flashed a new kernel and everything is good.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jordyboy123:
Reflash V13, it's been super-stable, and you probably could do with a clean start anyway if your phone's slowing down.

The next version will be ready shortly, in the meantime start backing up your phone anyway, and decide if some of the stuff on their can be discarded.

Then when V14 arrives, do a full wipe and restore everything you need.

All you want is to get the most out of your S3,if there's something not quite right, action a change.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Well I tried the Googy kernel, and to be honest, performance is even worse than before. A lot worse.

A fresh install was made only last night and things are extremely laggy. Back Boeffla for me.

While large games life MFS Most Wanted and MC4 would sometimes have a lot of slowdown,

at least I was able to navigate the UI with problem. :(

You're right. I'll re-flash V13 and wait for 14. Thx.

Can anyone tell are there audio tweaks in other kernel except siyah one?Cause iv like tested alot kernels but none have the sound of siyah but just some basic audio enhancement and thats only reason keeping siyah is cause the super loud sound.Siyah is great but the battery life is terribad no matter how i tweak it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
boeffla has an audio tweak

On the OTA download error, I saw the same thing, not just on the touchwiz, but many others downloads. I tried to manual check on the download paths by following http://ultimarom.com/rom/update//v13_parts.xml, but looks like all the zip files I checked are unreachable. Perhaps the files was removed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thegrantonstarcause:
SD card killer?

Have had two SD cards die on me in the past week. Both 32GB and both from different manufacturers. Prior to this week, haven't ever had a single SD card issue in over a year of owning my phone. Boths cards seem to be actually corrupted as most files can't be recovered using chkdsk or fsck. Has anyone had this problem with Ultima ROM (using v13)? If not any ideas on what it may be or what I can do? Would formatting as something other than fat32 (ext3?) help?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
That's not the rom fault cause you're the only one with such problem. SD cards die from time to time and it doesn't matter from which manefacturer they are.

Format them in PC with Full Format (not quick) and then in the phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thegrantonstarcause:
Yeah i dont think it is the rom either. Just checking if others have had this in case. Very strange as it came out of nowhere.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RKitchUK:
Hi guys. When v14 rolls around I think I'll try a different kernel. What do you all recommend for best performance? Already using speed mod.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Googy Max ftw. Switched and ain't going back.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
tbh im using Perseus already even though it hasnt been updated since 3 month ago, and happy with it.

battery life is excellent, and I like the color correction (master sequence):good:

How is googy max with battery?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Haven't noticed a change. Just some really good performance.

How can I fix the mic not working? I remember Kryten mentioning something about no sound in bootanimation. I still don't understand how that has to do with it since I was just using the google voice keyboard and now it doesn't work anymore. Just like that from one second to the other.

Anyone know a fix pls? :'(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Hey man I am trying the new 1 as well. Seems to be really smooth. Testing battery life as well. Will report on it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I went back from the new one to 1.5.6. The new one has heating issues and he said he'll fix on 1.5.8. I'll be waiting for that one.

V13,syah kernel...:

- lockscreen doesn't rotate

- i cant' change battery icon color with anyway

- CONTINUOUS FCs for many apps...Maps,FB,Gmail,asus widget,gallery,swiftkey...

- Ultima OTA doesn't work,goes to FCs

I'm starting be bored...From 9 Version i don't see more improvements (i tryed also other versions like 10-11...) and now i don't know what to do for fix my problem,i'm really tired to do always backups and restores...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
you don't see improvements??? :-/ are you sure?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Skyfinder:
Old apk of google maps????

WIth 9th versione and stock kernel...something like 48h of battery life under use...quickly,performant,no FCs...

However, serious problems, where do I find the old

apk of google maps?

The last official upgrade i think is one of the worst ever seen in my life...my places and labs vanished,continuous fcs,wrong road...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
did you install new versions with data/system clean?

for maps go to settings, applications, find maps app, enter and click on "uninstall updates"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maazy:
You must be doing something wrong. I'm using v13 + Siyah and I haven't faced any of the problems you listed.

Check the ROM md5, update your recovery, do a mega wipe and flash again. Are you restoring any kind of app data with Titanium? If so, you should'nt. Restore just the app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Clearly doing something wrong if you're getting FC's like you described.

1. Read the change logs.You will find the information about the lockscreens there.

2. Yes you CAN change the battery icon colour. Be sure to add alpha-transparency, otherwise you will make a totally invisible icon colour.

3. I can look at the OTA app and see if I can figure out why it's FCing, if I can get it to FC at all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Skyfinder:
THANKS A LOT; you saved me :D I've forgotten this way!

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

1 - ABOUT THE ROTATION LOCKSCREEN REALL SORRY,i don't saw that was been removed,sorry again!

2 - Battery Icon Colour no way,if i change color icon,changes also Battery text color...no way to do that different also if i set

3 - Now OTA works (i flashed again,but with stock kernel)...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Kernel shouldn't matter for the OTA app

And unfortunately, yes, that's correct regarding the battery colours:/

sorry if i ask absurd question. i wasn't here for a long time. so please tell me. when v14 will be available? i waiting this update. so is it will include 4.2.2 ? thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The update will not include 4.2.2.

It will be done on Kryten2k35-time :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stormy_ugur:
do u have any idea when samsung will release official 4.2.2? your all mods will be awesome with 4.2.2. how i will wait your 4.2.2 update i really don't know. just want to see your all mod on 4.2.2 rom :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RKitchUK:
I've read numerous blogs that give a October/November time frame. They might even skip 4.2 and go straight to 4.3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
We may get 4.3 and form performance it seems to be a very good update in terms of speed and battery life. Well on the nexus 4 at least. I have used it and it is definitely a big improvement over 4.1.2.

AOSP Contacts?

It's a known problem. Only solution is to use the stock contacts.

I've installed the AOSP contacts.

Can I install the stock contacts instead without reinstalling the rom?:

resolved! yes we can.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Just use exDialer. It's simpler and looks better than TW contacts. Has the same swipe to message/call and it's themeable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Thank you Kryten :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
I was also a victim of AOSP contacts. Its a bug and as Kryten once mentioned that it might be because we do not use AOSP Phone apk. Hence I moved back to Stock Contacts too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wolfy1664:
hi

toch wiz keeps crashing and the install does not end you have to reboot manually ts tweak's do not work saying no kernel please fix these issue's also could you also make the ringtone louder please its a bit to quite all else seems ok so far and thanks:crying:

Any chance of adding Windows Phone or iPhone lockscreens to a future release?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Not a chance. Two ugly as sin devices.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Are they available in any android phone? I donot think so.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Skyfinder:
So,is normale that "change battery icon color mod" doesn't work? Because now that i set green,is still gren also at 5% of battery :D AND I've installed your "patch"!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Ew no. This is an AOSP themed rom. Use WidgetLocker if you want.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Still doesn't hurt to ask.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yes they are available. Use WidgetLocker. But it's a paid app. And it'll block it if it's pirated so you'll have to pay for it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Yea, I'm familiar with WidgetLocker. Was using it up to today, but I'm trying to reduce the number of apps on my phone, especially ones that load at startup. Plus, built-in lockscreens are a lot faster too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It works exactly as it was intended to work. You set it to be green, it's green.

The "Text Color" is only for the "icon with text" or "text only" options.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Best ROM out of there..thanks dev!!

I really like it's theme system..i hope to see some future update on other firmware version (4.2-4.3..). Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
When will you share v14..?On v13 charge time is so long..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Charge time is 100% down to the charging cable, maybe the charger. I had slow charge times, I swapped for a stock, Samsung cable and got back to 2-3 hour charges (from 4-5 hour charges).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
When i use other roms i have 2-3 hours charge..My cable is good :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There is literally nothing about this ROM that stops the phone from charging normally. Two things can do this... Kernel or hardware. So no, using other ROMs doesn't affect this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Why is it that when I switch to the googy max kernel I can't switch keyboards? I literally just tap on the mic button and nothing happens. I switch keyboard languages and nothing happens. I try switching keyboards nothing happens. Nothing happens either when I disable/enable keyboards from settings. It's as if they're locked. I'm really running out of ideas here.

Then when I restore my old backup with boeffla installed I get the lagging and freezing when gaming and the mic sometimes not working.

Kryten help plox?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninja666:
Hi.

I have the same experience. On the other Rom (PardusHD, Foxhound) took charge 3 hours with a new non-original cable. Now 8 hours with the same cable.

With original Samsung cable charging takes 2-3 hours. This is strange. (Kernel Syiah)

2 knowledge: Please optimize battery life. It is slightly smaller than the other rom.

And when you will release 4.2.1 or 4.2.2?

Thank you very much for the great ROM. I like this ROM :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No. You are wrong. There is nothing wrong with battery life.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ammad368:
Kar do release v14 ab !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
In my opinion, if someone has bad battery life, the most important things to do are :

-verify if there are some wakelocks

-go to see if in the init.d folder there are useless script

-flash a good kernel (this one makes the difference)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
To be honest, anyone saying "I flashed so and so ROM and it charged quicker" is an idiot. Charging is determined by hardware or the kernel. Not the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
So you're saying the AC adapter tweak is a placebo effective hoax?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
What, altering the charging rate in the kernel? No, that's not a hoax. That's the kernel affecting the ROM. The kernel sits between the hardware and the software.

Now, if you have a 1000mA charger, and you set the charging rate to 1400MA... nothing happens because the charger is only 1000mA. It won't charge faster or pull more amps.

But if you have a charger and battery that take 1400mA, but the kernel you're using doesn't allow this (like, the stock kernel) using that setting will work.

Also, setting the USB charging rate, I've found, is quite effective. Especially on USB3, which can handle more output than USB2.

There are also some settings in Perseus that disable some precautions in the kernel regarding power and charging that I found worked well for me when I was using a non-Samsung "Fast Charge" cable

and I had a charging issue

. But, since buying a £2 official cable form eBay I've been using other kernels and charging properly ever since.

My girlfriend's SGS3, using the same crappy cables, had the same charging problem. I also got her some of the same new cables at the same time, her charging issues stopped there too.

Therefore, charging problem? Change your cable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Ooohhh I see. So my setting of 1200mAh won't take effect because the Samsung cable and charger doesn't support it? Up to what can I set it to?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
Question is: If buying some other cable not Samsung OEM one, will not damage the phone in some way, specially when using Perseus with the 2 boxes checked in power (ignore margin and something else)

Btw, using boeffla I cant get my phone charged to 100%, some crappy issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Andrielux said it was totally safe as long as you used a stable/stock charging brick.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
I use usb 3.0 with a charge rate of 800mah. Works really good. USB 3.0 can go up to 1000ma max
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I think USB3 can do slightly more? I use 900mA on that. I also use it on USB2 ports out and around. Seems ok.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
USB 3.0 max is 1000mA. Same as what samsung has it for the outlets. I will try 900mA. I used to use it with my old siyah kernel. Time for V14 kryten :P I haven't change rom since V13. LOL! My CWM is getting rusty.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Guys someone knows how to fix this strange "wakelock"?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You only ran it off battery for a minute or so before taking that screen.

Are you using the "wakelag" fix, because that mod creates a wakelock. It explains it in the settings page.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
no mate..i used "wakelag" fix only one time in the past..no it is disabled..

wakelag fix put some script in init.d ? thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, just some code in the framework. If it's off, it's off.

I'm honestly not sure what's causing that. Run it for longer and see what happens.

I got only 250mb ram free, with boeffla kernel and i deinstalled all apps that i dont need. Any help or why i have only 250? Sorry for my bad english^^

I cant play order and chaos its too laggy, on my Xperia S no lags :s
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I'm going to put a banner in large flashing illuminous pink colours in the first post.

Ignore how much free RAM you have entirely. It's not, at all, in any single minute specific tiny itty-bitty way, important. At all. Seriously.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
But you do know, it DOES matter. The phone starts suttering and getting sluggish when there's only about 50MB left. You can't say it's not important.

But I found a fix. Upgrade to the Boeffla 2.3 which has zram incorporated. Works as virtual swap and you literally won't worry about ram anymore.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
I used ZRam i got now 400, but i want to play Order and chaos but it lags... on ultimarom 9 no lags :s
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Then I'm not sure. I honestly have problems with Boeffla as well and heavy games lagging until reboot. Might be a kernel issue. But it's definitely not a ram/processor issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
Im testing Siyah, then i reply :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
It's a shame because boeffla has really great sound. I'll be looking for alternate kernels as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, it doesn't matter. Free RAM is about as important as which sock you put on first. Simple as that.

Getting posts in the thread saying "OMG! There is only 250MB free RAM? What is wrong with my phone?!" Is annoying because it's base don this idea that having 250MB of RAM free is bad, and born out of a lack of understand for computer systems and hardware.

YES, the phone lagging as the LMK kicks in and clears some RAM is frustrating, but that's YOUR fault. Close an app when you aren't using it. Don't let it linger in RAM, then open more, and more and more and then wonder why the OS is closing unused apps to make room for the new ones.

It's ALL by design.

EDIT:

And sure, zRAM is quite handy, but it's also letting people be lazy like I said above. People expect to be able to open all these apps and their phone not lag and it's quite simply not possible on today's systems.

There's a reason I have 16GB in my PC, because I run some rather intensive programs that use it. I can afford to be lazy with my RAM mamagement, and, Windows works fundamentally different Linux (based systems) anyway.

But if we want to use our phones like we do our PC's we need to have 4GB+ RAM on the phone to cover this. But, that's not possible at the moment.
