[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Exactly. The development for Samsung devices is pretty good as well. I don't know about nexus devices though. Don't they have more development than we do? Probably a touch wiz themed rom too xD

But sadly no extended storage.

Oh well. We have until December to enjoy Ultima's golden days.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinokirk:
Are you saying that there aren't as many ROMs for like Sony/ HTC as Samsung?

Is it easier to cook ROMs for Samsung?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
S-OFF on HTC is annoying, to be honest.

I'll never buy another HTC again. The HTC Desire was my last. HTC Also lack external storage, which I personally feel is more about making the device redundant than aesthetics, and also considering that my old HTC Desire grew very unstable due to an ageing battery, I opt for removable batteries too, Li-Ion batteries don't last that long and after 2-3 years they've degraded significantly.

Sony I have no qualms with at all. My previous devices before smartphones were Sony Ericsson, but they don't fit the bill I require (battery and sd card).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Samsung is the most bought phone and belive it or not 1 of the most supported. I have been through every brand and Samsung has the most support. Sony has a good amount but it takes a really long time for them to come out. Battery life on Sony aren't the best either I hope they solve this with the new z1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Agreed. When i first had my G1 and tried to root, it was so confusing i just stopped. Had to change some radios, RIL and downgrade roms. It was ridiculous. But on Samsung phones, you just have to flash a file.

Sony phones look incredibly sexy. But no sd or removable battery. Besides, i don't think they have extended batteries and accessories like Samsung phones do.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Which goofy kernel should I include? Or should I include both?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Lmfaooooo goofy? Googy* hahahaha. Anyway, googy max. The other one is more stock like.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HorstiG:
Halo is included in this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Oops yes googy! Bloody auto correct.

I noticed the other was stock-like. No app to change settings or anything.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
No. This is a Samsung rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LiL_Assassin:
Maybe it's just my phone, but googy mac kernel causes bugs with wifi if zram it's turned on, and the kernel in general causes bugs with brightness slider and multi window, for my s3-i9300 with Shiva v14. Maybe you could have a look into it? Because it's an amazing kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gassity:
I think the best way would be cooperating with Googy. Then we might face the greatness)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricksIII:
Thanks! It works now!

Dam those icons looks sweet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Not sure if I've messed around with a setting, but with V13, I've noticed for 2 nights in a row, I wake up in the morning to find I have no new email messages. However, as soon as I start using the phone, I get a notification that I've received multiple new emails.

I don't know if this has something to do with the sleep policy of the ROM, but it would be great if someone could shed some light on this pls. It's as if sync goes to sleep as well if I leave the phone unused for extended periods of times :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] frotzbix:
Hi,

there is a - let me call it a - bug one the #### Page.

@Kryten2k35 could start a competition, you can win an icon pack, for example.

How about this ?

i count myself off, bcause i know the place.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Next competition is going to be for some PC games again :D I picked up that Origin Humble Bundle... I only needed one game out of it and I got the whole thing. But icons for runners up is a good idea.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Probably network sleep policy ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RevoWution:
Hmmm, yes I had a look at those settings, but it's already set to "Always" for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" :)

Any other suggestions, Kryten?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Don't really think performance can get any better than maxing out all Boeffla settings.

Can i update my modem to xxemg6? I want to test omega because of youtube. And can i go back from xxemg 6 to xxemg4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The XXEMG6 modem is actually XXEMG2 (PHN)

But, yes, you can.

And I don't know what you expect it find regarding YouTube :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
Is there any other way to backup my efs !??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricksIII:
If you have philz recovery you can back it up there. And put it on your ext. sd-card

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Matija Gubec:
1. First of all, install PhilZ Touch CWM for S3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

2. Boot into PhilZ Touch CWM then.

3. Go to Backup and Restore.

4. Select Custom Backup and Restore.

5. Then click on Custom Backup Job.

6. Uncheck everything.

7. Then check Backup efs only.

8. Select >> Start Custom Backup Job

9. Backup to either internal or external sdcard.

10. That’s it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricksIII:
You just beat me there! :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
Youtube have no bugs with omega? Its the rom or the modem...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Over time every rom gets laggy for some reason. Is there something to prevent this from happening? Does wiping care/dalvik clear that up? Or does a new rom need to be flashed?

It's already starting to happen for me in V13. I'll switch back to 200MB zram since it's the only setting I've changed. I've been using V13 since around the time it was released. About a month ago?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Installing a new ROM... clearing dalvik and cache won't help.

Well, installing a new ROM will, for a while (as you fill it back up with apps, etc).

I cannot stress this enough but CLOSE unused apps. Those apps either take up memory of fill zRAM and will cause you to be laggy. There's multitasking, and then there's expecting miracles.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh no, lol. You should know the ram freak I am by now. I kill with menu everything I'm done using and keep the recent apps clean.

But whatever then I guess. Hope V15 is just around the corner. Lol *hint hint*
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
SHHHH!! Don't say it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
I didn't yet install the new version..as I am afraid of losing my imel...so..what is the best way to install the new version..mean what modem and kernel should I select to install to prevent and issues or problem..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
If you're on a pre-GE4 baseband/modem use the XEE2 modem/baseband during installation. If you're already on G4 use the GE4 during installation.

Don't forget to flash a custom kernel during installation.

There's also a backup method described on the ultimarom homepage and it wouldn't hurt to follow up on it ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
I am already did a backup up of my efs..but I don't know if I am on GE4 or not..I even don't know what is that :D how could I know..and about custom kernel..flash any one is OK!?? No one can make a problem with any think in phone !??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Go to settings -> About device -> Baseband -> ?? Post it that thing here. Somebody will guide you then.

Hmm i think my thanks button is not working. Can you help me check?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
My my. Did you install the ultima v14 yet?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Avantiel:
Does this rom have on screen navigation buttons?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
No I didn't
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Well install it if you wish and select the mg4 modem on aroma as well as Boeffla kernel. After that all settings are up to you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeyadrani:
Thaaaaanks..I will try that :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Avantiel:
Is it possible to make the on screen navigation buttons transparent?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iano31254:
I've correctly upgraded my device from v11.1 to latest wiping it before the installation.

This mod is awesome!!!! Google Keyboard is better than AOSP that I used on Kjata.

I have a question. Can I activate the lockscreen torch pressing (not holding) one time the home button?

Thanks a lot!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] biggary:
Good to see a dev with a wicked sense of humour!!!

Too many people keep demanding things when devs mostly do all this for free

too many people ask for different things for this rom 'oh, will my imei be lost' or 'oh i not got a EFS folder' or can you add this that and the other.....

why not read as many posts as you can in the Q&A section, general section, the first page of this post, if you lose your IMEI or mess up your EFS folder or your S3 self combusts, its because you havent read properly, you dont deserve a smartphone! even my non-techno wife can flash a rom after reading all the help posts....

just let kryten be, let him develop his great rom without the endless posts asking about ETA, or addons which wont work with his rom version!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Nope. I have searched for it and never found it. What I do is put flashlight as 1 of my main toggle.

Even though toggled its not working.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ahh, so it's not :(

Let me whip up a quick fix. I didn't expect it to do that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Might be a good time to test OTA updates, though...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m00moo:
2 other bugs i think are

Set wallpaper via gallery causes FC.

the SD swap mod is on when i didnt check it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pnyc:
Installed over the previous version and everything is working correctly, no issues whatsoever.

For those that might be wondering, the torrent is the best way to download this ROM, got the whole thing in less then 10 minutes. Thanks for the ROM Kryten2k35!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Stock Gallery doesn't FC for me either way. Whether I choose Wallpaper in settings, by pressing menu on the homescreen or going via Gallery...

And you must've not hit the SD swap checkbox because it's not on for me and I specifically unchecked it (I don't use it, I prefer DirectoryBind). To get rid of it, just use a root explorer and delete the script out of /etc/init.d/ and reboot. Everything will be back to normal. You must've missed it, though, cause I've flashed this one about 4-5 times today and it's not been turned on!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sounds like a good a time as any to me :D

.. sadly I'm running out of time tonight to play and test. Headed to see Skrillex tonight.. leaving in a few minutes. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's ok, it'll be 2MB :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Got the OTA :D

Downloaded just fine.. headed to the pre-party and I'll flash there.. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Sorry about all the update messages! I'll get this cracked in a moment.

I won't send any more until I'm certain it's right.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's not right just now. Grab it again at the party!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok, last OTA update notification, I promise.

This works, tested myself again and again! I did say it was in beta...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
:p its working mate! Both OTA and the fix :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, I forgot to include a new build.prop, then I uploaded a file without changes. I was getting pretty mad lol. I got there in the end though :D

There's literally nothing I can do about the Gallery bug since it's the Note II one, except update once a fix comes around.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] berkgun:
Hey, i have a problem with gallery. Camera app can't save photos and all my photos and videos are lost... How can i solve it?

EDIT: Reflashed it, using stock now and it's still the same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
4.1.1 seems really great! :) However the Vol- to silent mode still doesn't work...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lenovohb:
all perfect, i mean delete the script out of /etc/init.d/ and reboot :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ickoicko:
Perfect! Thanks! Reflashed it and unchecked the sd swap checkbox
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iano31254:
My question is only a curiosity. It worked fine on Kjata, but the dev has changed this on v13 ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, and yes they can be transparent if you flash a mod that does this.

No, because when the the screen off timer elapses it turns the screen, and the torch, off. I found it was easier to keep the button held (and thus keeps the screen on indefinately).

:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Anyway, while the ROM beta's, I'm working on a cLock-style clock widget. Just clock, for now. I'll maybe import the weather and date from cLock later :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah... about that.

I had started to build my own clone-like version (since cLock won't run on 4.1.x). Then thought I might as well try the method I was doing on my own, on the CyanogenMOD code from git... Turns out the cLock widget can run on 4.1.2 with only a few minor changes to the code. So, I've scrapped what I was doing in favour of this since it was a total waste of time to continue with the one I was doing (though, not a total waste).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxniper:
The screen is from Ultima Rom? if yes the clock widget is looking really good
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, that's from my phone :D

The design is all CyanogenMOD. I just made it work on Ultima/4.1.2
