No a problem, just seeeeeed :D

EDIT:

I hated BT :( Best our line can get is 2mbps down, and they wanted £35pm+£12 line rental for no bandwidth caps. So, went to Orange who gave us it for £22 for both, plus no bandwidth caps.

Not yet, the green is a work in progress :)

And yes, those that asked earlier, the green WILL be an option alongside the blue. Blue will be default as always.

No, a fix to make the stock ones actually show up. They're not working at all at the moment.

Thanks, thekoRngear

Btw, why v8.1 is Hades again? I expected something with J or Ifrit itself.

Where does it say Hades?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
On the 1st page, below "Download all versions".

But it shows the right name in the download link.

Btw, Kryten, about the entropy seeder: It does drain battery more than usual. So, it wouldn't be wise to include it in the rom and force it on people who want a longer battery life. Personally, I prefer using it.

Or you could add it as an option in Aroma with the appropriate warnings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I was reading the frontpage... it's been debunked.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevinarjun:
Kryten can you add joining unlimited contacts ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
Just out of curiosity, on what basis do you name the different versions of the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
How do you mean? You should now be able to add an unlimited number of contacts to a message and also it shouldn't change into an MMS at any point.

A new Samsung base :) XXELL5 was 7, XXELLA is 8 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
So, sorry for not understanding this bootloader thingy, MUST we downgrade ? or it's ok to stay with the current one?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevinarjun:
No i mean the phone contacts. like same persons google,fb,whatsapp,linked in, etc...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It depends, really. If you're on ELL5 bootloader you might want to downgrade as it makes warranty harder.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalk9:
Does anyone else have a problem with the behaviour of the home button in this rom?

If I'm using an app and the display times out, pressing the home button takes me out of the app and to the home screen, rather than just waking the display which is what I would expect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well pressing the home button takes you to the home screen, so I would expect that kind of behaviour instead. The power button wakes the screen.

Also, it's not the behaviour of this ROM and is the behaviour of Samsung.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalk9:
I guess i expect the button to just wake the screen because that's what it does on all the other roms I've tried, although I think I can recall the same problem on CM a while back.

Is there some other way to wake the screen without getting kicked out of the active app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Yes, use your Power Button.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I can't even recreate this anyway.

If the screen locks and I press the home button, it takes me to the Lock Screen. If it's because the screen timeout has depleted and it goes off, it just takes me back to the app.

Not meaning to sound harsh, but this gets reported and I can never recreate it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlers:
Kryten i love that X app where change dpi and ress,its trully amazing.Finally got the paranoid youtube i wanted and alot more.Btw can u add green clock in future and does anyone know in xposer wich of the apk or setting apk is the one of the homescreens?to change ressolution and dpi on homescreen.And how to remove that feature wich turns off my screen when i put near my ear the phone when talk via phone.Thx in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, green clock is coming later. I knew this would get asked :D There's a lot of work involved but I'm planning on making an option between green and black. Was it you that asked on xmas? You gave me the idea if so!

And you can't change touchwiz at the moment, but I'm sure the app will be updated!

Instead, you could use one of the 5x5 or 5x6 touchwiz's in the OTA section for launchers?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nigmol:
Any cures for the no wallpaper problem. Does reinstall do anything?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Not currently. I don't really know what causes it...

You can try the OTA update file instead?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
I have tried also OTA with the wallpapers, still got them black with nothing, wierd issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well, they're in the zip you downloaded if you want to unzip them yourself and copy them over?

It's a weird issue. I had it at first but then I made a small script to unzip them:

#!/sbin/sh

unzip -n /data/media/ultima/wallpapers.zip -d /data/media

Which should work :(

Did you have something else installed? JKay? Because if so, that's the problem and that's why I don't want to include or support his framework. It causes issues.

Install his mod again, that should fix it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Add this to the build.prop

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

Or run the OTA boot animation file again and disable boot animations.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BeRniTo:
I had 8.0 installed and flashed 8.1, but the circled battery icon was replaced with the stock one, even having selected the correct one in AROMA. Why? :confused:

I'm also having stock's boot animation... :confused:

Some options where auto selected in AROMA, as if they were loaded from the previos install (v8.0). Maybe they were only showed selected but installed default ones? :confused:

P.S: What's the patch for?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] suadt:
Nothing else. Only UltimaRom v8.1 and patch.

System settings don't responde. :confused:

Sent from GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Just reinstall 8.1 again and repick your selection. The battery icons work fine and there is no reason it would have installed the stock battery icon unless you picked it.

As for the boot animation, this will only happen after the patch if you picked the no boot animation option. Install the boot animations OTA file to reselect (after the 8.1.1 patch) your options. This is because the patch flashes a new build.prop, which is also where the instructions to cancel the boot animation are.

The patch is for the new transparancy mod and a problem with the stock accuweather widget.

Well, I'm out of ideas, because I installed it myself without a problem and on my GF's phone without a problem. The patch changes the ROM version in the system settings like in the attachment.

Try installing 8.1 again (no wipe) and then the patch.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
Just to update the guy who has problems with latest patch (8.1.1) I just updated my gf's phone, installed 8.1.1 and still had the same battery icon I have chosen in 8.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, the patch doesn't even touch SystemUI.apk at all so it won't affect the battery icon in any single way.

Anyway, I'm updating the OTA section now so those files will be available :) I'll let you all know once I'm done.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
If you know how to get a logcat print out of the error then that'll help, but otherwise, I can't see why it would FC. It's a small XML file that has some small changes in it and it's worked fine on both phones I have :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
Installed 8.1.1 patch.

Selected 50% transparent atatusbar, but it's full transparent.

Also I wanted to change the density in build.prop to 300dpi, but my changes aren't shown.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BeRniTo:
I don't understand why you don't believe me... :p ... the battery icon I wanted was selected by default (from the previous installation of 8.0)... I reflashed the 8.1 and now it worked fine, but believe me, I did the exact same thing as before! :D

Anyway, I'm downloading the patch now... :cyclops:

Is there a way to disable CRT-OFF effect? :confused:

P.S: Why's that Ultima isn't compatible with TWRP? What makes it uncompatible? I'm flashing CWM and back to TWRP every time there's an update! :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Works for me. Are you using TWRP? I've just flashed the OTA file I've made (taken from the patch) and it works fine.

the build,prop changes? No idea. Did they save? Have you checked the file again to see that the changes are still i the file?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Because TWRP doesn't read binary files properly. They have issued a fix but I haven't really gotten around to testing that it works with CWM yet. IF it does then I'll update.

And it's not that I don't trust you, I just know you did something different and probably didn't realise it!

All the battery icons work fine and whatever you pick is flashed so if it puts something you didn't want then it's because it was selected, by mistake or not ;)

And the "auto selection" thing isn't form last flash, it's what I've set to be the default!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slayer1977:
For me the the 8.1.1 patch works fine and also the 50% Statusbar.No problems here.I flash the 8.1.1 patch over the 8.1 and i am happy with this great Rom.

Damn you're more stubborn than me... ;) (hope this isn't a bad thing to say... Google Translate was used... :p ) ... Next time I'll take a photo to show you what's selected and what was the result so you believe me... :D

Anyway... great ROM! Congratulations! :good:

BTW, you missed the CRT-OFF effect question. :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, because I tested the batteries extensivey before! :D Plus it looks like you use the same battery icon as me, and I know that works! (AOSP Blue Battery Left?)

To disable CRT, you can use the "Mods_AROMA" file to uninstall it:

It's either in the OTA app, or here: http://alpha-techs.co.uk/files/roms/ultima/?dir=OTA/XXELLA

I flashed the OTA zip for MODS and after completion I was stuck in a bootloop which i could not enter recovery.. I had followed the steps in aroma no problems and let it install, but on reboot it would not work :( it forced me to reflash stock, re-root and reflash Ultima rom. was up until 7am my time lol but was worth fixing. Is there anything I could have done wrong in the flash process of the MOD.zip? I cleared cache and dalvik and simply followed the steps in the installer.. and all that was different when I re-chose my options was that I got rid of CRT-OFF as it was being a bit buggy for me.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BeRniTo:
Nope, AOSP Circle Battery... the first one in the list... :p And I SWEAR it was selected by default, even though stock one was installed! :silly:

What options did you choose for the mods. Specifically, which of these did you pick:

Extended Power Menu

CRT Off Animation

Long Press Menu

Long Press Volume

First full flash of the rom I chose all of those, but when i reflashed the OTA pack i got rid of CRT because it was buggy for me, and then i could not access recovery :( after the whole procedure I done I reflashed ultima and all is working fine now on 8.1.1 :)

Edit

Please change the 8.1.1 patch to be able to be flashed over 8.1.1 again in case you want to try other transparencies. It informs me that I don't have 8.1. XXELLA installed if I try it again.

Had a few problems with 8 but 8.1 has fixed everything

The battery life is so much better.now..

Only one small issue. After flashing 8.1 the reception bars at the top show only 1 or 2 bars all the time? I live in the city so it's normally full? I can still call and text so don't really care but thought I'd mention it.

Cheers buddy!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You need to change to a different modem, then :)

Have a poke around and see which is the best for Vodafone in Aus and install that. Then use GetRIL from the market and get the right RIL for it and you should be good.

If you find one, do let us know so I can add it to the files for you and other Austrailian/Vodafone users :) (and please extract the RIL files "libril.so and libsec-ril.so" from /system/lib/" after you've used GetRIL so I can add them :) )

EDIT:

And the battery issues are most likely the battery stats. It takes a little while to settle in (a day or so) after flashing a new ROM (a wipe counts as new) so assuming you didn't do a wipe for 8.0-->8.1 that'll explain that :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2727alex2727:
Hey buddy, I actually have the i9300t and I downloaded the latest vodafone i9300t firmware from sammobile and extracted the modem.bin from that and thats the modem I usually use, I made a cwm for it. I could send it you if you like? and I always do a full wipe with every update. Except the incremental ones :)

I flashed the default modem from aroma just then and right now have 0 bars..?

The new patch is a disaster! Had to reflash 8.0 to get the soft keys back ;^<

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No you didn't need to flash 8.0! Use the OTA mods file to get it back! At the very least 8.1! ¬.¬ :(

EDIT:

or add this to the build.prop and reboot:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

I think I'm either going to add that mod and the no boot animation mod as runnable scripts to avoid this because every build.prop update will remove these mods and I can't add them to every patch!

Just a little comment to your website: It looks fantastic. But it's not easy to operate the menus from a touch screen... when pressing downloads it loads the main downloads page, making it quite hard to get to the mods section...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JTayta:
This is because you don't have S Voice installed. Double press the home screen to see if S Voice loads. You may need to simply agree to the terms of use.

Don't ask why, its a Samsung thing. Without S Voice installed, the home key minimises your open app when pressing it on screen timeout.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Hey Kryten

Can you make having the two camera types available as a separate download, or are you planning on putting that option back into the main build?

I did like having the 4.2 camera/gallery in addition to the Samsung one. :)

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirtyWizard:
Big fan of the ROM but I'm experiencing some slow responsiveness after a while (slow screen renew, ...) a reboot seems to fix it for a while so I'm thinking about bad memory management.

Currently I'm still on 7.2.3 and I didn't really notice before (when I still had 6.0.2) The only difference is the ROM and the kernel (now on the latest Siyah).

So basically, one question to you all. Do you experience this as well ? Maybe I should just switch kernel and see or maybe I'm missing something else.

Thanks

Dude, during install there is section "Mods" where you can chose all mods like CRT-OFF effect. Maybe you need to scroll down SLOWLY the page ;)

Anyway,if you want install it now,you can donwload Mods_Aroma.zip by OTA,reboot on recovery and installing it like always,reboot and you mods will be edited.

P.S: remember the THANKS ;D
