You've seen the vocal minority moaning about their EFS folder... people ahve lost their EFS folder simply flashing Ultima, and other ROMs. The risk you could lose your EFS folder is there whether you flash that modem or not, since ALL modem flashes alter some data in the efs/nv_data.bin file.

And there have been some performance improvements for me on this new modem, most people report better Wi-fi signal too. I've personally found a better ratio of poweruse form the radio to download speed (I.E. being able to download at the same speed but use less power doing so) and a faster connection to the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality.

But, by all means, you should use another modem if that's what you want to do.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
That's a better explanation. A fair deal then if these features are really been arrived with the new modem! Btw i'm soon starting to dual-boot & coming to Ultima as well. & i really don't want to use the new MG4 modem. Are you thinking to give users an AROMA option if they wanna use the new ROM update with older modems but not MG4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
just a quick question. how large should the efs backup file be? I copied the folder off my phone and it had 4 files in it that are about 88bytes each
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
20 Mb on .img file

I use efs pro
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
what do i select. When i select just the EFS option it put a .tar file on my comp of 195 bytes..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
20mb .img or a 64kbs tar.gz file

The auto option has been broken for some time. I didn't realise it until lately (totally fixed for next release).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
So what should be the minimum size for EFS backup so that we can be sure that it is a valid backup.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Michaels1980:
Exactly 20mb img file for me when backed up from Phils recovery. I don't know if it is possible to test it without actually restoring it, which I don't fancy trying.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gassity:
Starving for the update!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avikrick:
I got this with me...surely doesn't look like 20mb.

:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] barani kumar:
hi ,

current auto backup not functioning properly will be fix in next release.

you can manually backup efs, try xda search or google... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ammad368:
Hey guys i made a backup using HC-KTOOL , i had a file "efs.img" with 20mb size and "efs.tar.gz" with 23.4kb size ...

Anyone can me that the sizes of the file are ok or i have to make a backup using another tool because i am using TWRP recovery and there efs is going to make about 8mb size ...

So is that ok or not ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sperperons:
I'm going to flash the v13 Ultimate. I have CWM version 6.0.3.2 - is this good ?

I seen the v.6.0.1.2 is required..

I could got some problem with 6.0.3.2 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ammad368:
Flash it , nothing will happen ...

As required is 6.0.1.2 and u have latest version , so nothing will happen
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
All of the extra "modded" lock screens let you pull down the status bar and see notifications. And none are compatible with 240DPI unless the tab one or the HTC one which is just a simple ring.

I had to switch to the normal pin lock screen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avikrick:
Should I be downloading v13 or wait for the next one....

Its a big file. :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:

Can anyone tell me which android version will v14 have?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Same version

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

I thought the speech to text was embedded into the system for offline recognition. But now it uses connection and it's horrible.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badchip:
Damn I thought it would have at least 4.2. Thanks though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You mean the unfinished 4.2

leak

? I've always had a strict "no-leak" policy. I didn't move onto 4.1.2 until it was official and I won't move onto 4.2.2 until it's official.

As it stands there are no custom kernels for 4.2.2, it drains the battery and is unfinished. It is not worth the time right now.

EDIT:

Also, porting these mods takes a lot of time and tehre is no AOSP skin for 4.2.2 until myself, or someone else makes it. v14 will have a very smooth, good user experience and customisation. I understand the allure of having the "latest" thing but it's quite simply unnecessary.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
V14 will be based on mg4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badchip:
Thanks for the explanation Kryten, your work is very much appreciated.

Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty much new to the scene and I have a question, I understand that 4.2 is a leak, but how do other roms pull it off with 4.2 and even some roms have 4.3. Or are they simply unstable? Or is there something that I'm missing here?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Sounds good. But is there a reason why the display turns on while charging with an extended battery? And the thing is, it STAYS on.

Edit: I just flashed the Siyah kernel and I can't switch keyboards again. I'm starting to think it's a rom issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avikrick:
Why are some people facing issues with mg 4 firmware and modem.

Its an official international release right:eek::confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlers:
I had just encounter strange issue i cant find how to resolve.My media vollume/all vollumes adjust themself when i try to manually.Idk whats wrong and this happened overnight when i woke up ,when before that day was all fine.What can be the problem so to chase it?Iv restarted it twice and stil same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kishanthj:
I'm facing the weirdest issue ever. I'm not sure why but my busybox is gone. So every time I try to open an app that needs root its not working. At the same time, I do have root and I can flash v13 again and again but I keep getting same problem. Flashed boeffla and even titanium back up won't work.

Someone please help...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Some if the 4.2.2 and 4.3 ROMs are AOSP, these are not based on the Samsung leak (but come with their own problems).

The others have just elected to use the leak as a base for their ROM, warts and all. I'd like to do the same but JB Domination is not yet ported over (which is going to rely on me and Vertumus doing so or someone else - I'm busy with 4.1.2 so far) and there is no custom kernel support which means none of the important stuff I rely on :;
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ammad368:
I think i also asked something !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badchip:
There are plenty of info about EFS backups if you did a search. Example

Or you can just google 'Correct size for EFS backup'

The size varies from tool to tool because it depends on the compression algorithm used.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
UltimaROM being so popular there are many users who keeps posting the queries and problems. And sometime we all know the answers or have experienced might not be able to answers it at that very moment. Donot assume that your post has been ignored. There is no harm to ask again. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I did answer the efs question once a couple of pages ago.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
just installed ktool and it made an exact 20mb img file for the efs backup
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
Waiting v14....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] draxterix:
Not only are you...

Kryten - What does it take to get to the beta test?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LexanderMoon:
Kryten whats the v14 SAM base version? EMG4, EMG5 or EMF6?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
EMG4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Which I should note, is a higher changelist, and therefore higher version, than EMG5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Are we sure that all future version (4.1.2-4.2..) will use new mg4 efs partition?

I prefere to stay away from mg4 if it is possibile. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LexanderMoon:
Ohhh great. Any date to release? Sad to refresh here every hour. LOL.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Once again please donot ask for ETA. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Danielsson:
ok, just a pity that v 14 is tested for a week ....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Why a pity?

Tested for a week is better than tested for a day.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LexanderMoon:
Depends how ur gonna test. :) a extreme user is better than a deepsleep user.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badchip:
I think Kryten said earlier that all future versions will be using the new efs format, so I don't really see the fuss about having an efs backup... but I guess it doesn't hurt.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
They know the score by now :) Test the changelog and test the old stuff. They all use in different ways so I get a good range of results
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] barani kumar:
hi Guys,

anyone using extsd2internalsd mod from setting....it dint work for me

always show internal n sd card as same size 10.2gig

i reinstall rom few times with just to check this ....finally just flash extsd2internalsd mod separately

but if install mod separately, in sd card (previously internal) some files cant read or copy most of time become useless.

(never had this issue before Ultima13)

to make sure i didt do any mistake i did reinstall rom n this mod few times.....

for some reason i just cant get right ......i dont know why....i assume something in rom conflict with this mod or vice versa

i also try mattiadj's old mod extsd2internalsd gs3 fat32, which give me same problem as installing from setting MOD

sd card & internal storage same size 10.2gig

Kryten,

really appreciated if you can include in aroma as before

as u know this mod recommended to install before 1st login, n most of time this mod is 1 time think.

Thanks & Regards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
What's the size of your sd?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] barani kumar:
using S3 16 gb wt

32gb sd available around 29.7gb
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
That's really weird. Is it formatted correctly? Maybe the SD needs to have a ext partition for it to work. Never really tried this in the s3 so i don't know if it works the same way. I'll let kryten take care of this one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
It is a bug with AOSP contact apk. Use Stock apk. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The external2internalsd mod isn't mine, so you'd be best asking in the thread. All I do is put it in the init.d folder for you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Will you include googy max kernel in v14? It really is a performance beast.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I'm thinking about taking a bunch of stuff out in later releases to be honest. We'll see
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Volpe92:
Sorry, but I do not understand what you mean :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
He's going to cut down the size of the rom and put other stuff (modems, wallpapers, boot animations, etc.) into the OTA updates. It will probably happen in v15+.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yes, yes. But please include the googy max kernel. Lmao
[Galaxy S III Android Development] beardymarrow:
Just download it and flash it :p

"There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I can't. It doesn't let me switch keyboards when I do that. And it's a problem with the Siyah kernel since I flashed it and the same happened and Googy max is like 99% based off of it. I thought if Kryten implemented it at a rom start, it'd leave out that issue. Or if he tried it out, he could see what the problem is or something.

That's what I wish for this rom. But if he can't, then I'll just have to deal with it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well, fortunately, the .img and .bin fiels for the modems and kernels compress pretty well, so we'll see. But I really want to cut down 90% of the apps in the installer and just leave some essential stuff in the AROMA.

Of course, I will still have everything else as an AROMA installer, via the OTA section.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
AWESOME! Googy max isn't an app so we're good. Butbutbutbutbut can you test it out before adding it plsplsplsplspls? D:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Honestly, no. I prefer boeffla and I said "we'll see" I don't see why you can't just install it yourself. There are a lot of Kernels now and I can't include them all, which is why I stopped adding them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
"Kryten told me to report here since the developer is very dedicated to the kernel.

Every time I play a heavy game, the phone always locks up and freezes until I either reboot or spam the home button. Always happen no matter what version of Boeffla I'm using. It's not a governor/cpu or ram problem since I ran googy max and everything was fine. I just played Modern Combat 4 right now and not even 2 minutes into playing, the phone froze up for no apparent reason.

I'm using the latest 2.3 stable. Been using boeffla ever since I installed Ultima rom.

The settings I've set the kernel with (zram and such) have absolutely nothing to do with the issue since I didn't change anything the first time I flashed the rom/kernel combo and it still happened."

-Posted it on the boeffla thread and I didn't get an answer.

And when I flash googy max, the keyboard settings lock down so I can't add/remove keyboards or even switch to the voice one when I'm typing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You should've tagged Andi in the post. We don't check every single post in thread, so stuff can be missed. Or, he saw it and deemed it circumstantial and not a fault of the kernel. Who knows. Also, I use Boeffla for my daily driver and I have Modern Combat 4, Dead Trigger, ShadowRun, Riptide and other 3D games, no issues.

And this keyboard stuff isn't really my domain, to be honest. I don't see why a kernel would stop the software from doing that, either.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
That's not fair. Why am I the only one. How do I tag though? I guess I'll just try out that kernel cleaner before installing it. Thanks for the help

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Woah, must you always enter those weird numbers? Do I have to memorize them, or what?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badchip:
Those weird numbers are the userID, you can find it out if you visit someones profile, or basically by checking the url in your browser status bar when you put your cursor on top of the username.

But anyhow, you don't need to get the userID either, just type @ and then any username and you'll get a dropdown list asking you to choose which member you would like to mention. Try it out. (This will basically auto-generate the BBCode for you)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Looking for a new rom and this looks good.

I used to download the blue gapps from this rom for other roms. I had no idea that there was an ultraROM for the s3, i did check once but couldn't see it (yeah stupid I know)

Also with the new version supposed to be out soon I shall wait for that.

I'm all signed up for the email when the new version comes out.

In the meantime I'll try a few other roms.

Just a query, not read every single post so please forgive my ignorance. Will the new version definitely be based on the latest official firmware?

I don't want to start testing other roms to find i need to mess around with efs etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Hi, yes it will be on the latest official.

You can either NOT install the latest modem (and not necessarily backup the EFS, though it's always a good diea to have at least once on dropbox or somewhere safe) and carry on as normal, or you can install the ltest modem (but know you need to restore older EFS for older modems therein after).

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Yes, next version will be based on mg4..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Thanks for the replies.

Can't wait for v14.

I did try v13 and all was good but I'd rather wait and do a proper full wipe ready for v14 and just try a few other roms out. I find roms are largely the same except for the odd tweak here and there and this rom has the blue gapps that i always tweak roms myself with.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] markz03:
okay sir... im going to try Boeffla kernel... wait... i think it is included on this rom... on AROMA... i think... i dont know anything about boeffla kernel so i choose siyah kernel... well... ill try it... thanks

thanks mate... i will try googy and boeffla..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh you're looking for torrents. I'll try looking for an alternative
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
If you are looking for ways to distribute the torrent file (or is the xda torrent site for hosting the rom file for peers to connect to?)

Anyway if it is the torrent file could you not to attach it to a post in this thread? Much like a image or a fix. Or maybe zip it into a zip file and upload that somewhere.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I could use burnbit again, and I can host the .torrent no problems. I have a seedbox that can be used for distribution (to a degree) to kick it off, if users will seed. I could keep it up for at least a week before I let it rely on seeders.

I'm also trying to talk the owner of ROMhut into running a tracker for developers. They'd probably need to seed for a bit themselves, though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Just did a Google search and came up with burnbit and was about to suggest it.
