Thanks for the thorough explanation. So deleting the strings/graphics entirely would cause a FC?

Does using 4.1.2 or 4.3 apks instead of the 4.4.2 also break stuff? Just wondering, I'm sure you tried, but then again I'm particularly interested in digging into this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Deleting the images would 'cause build errors and for the apk to not recompile. Much easier to do this stuff from source, but of course if we had this from source there wouldn't be any unused apks.

I've compressed SecSettings.apk, and shaved about 15MB off it, which has taken 15MB off it's RAM footprint too.

And the 4.3 apk could work, but would most likely be missing stuff. I haven't actually tried it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
hey kryten,

so now i am using your ROM and set 256 MB hardswap as recommended and used ArchiKernel.

now i want to upgrade to ArchiKernel 1.3.1. Can I flash it directly on top and hardswap will still be enabled? or there are any conflicts?

thanks :)

Hi All

Getting com.android.systemui fails.

Here is the catlog: http://www.Exeter-Pirate-Day.com/catlog.txt

I think the problem is linked with MySMS, but could be wrong.

Ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah, the kernel and hardswap are not linked :) Flash away.

This same issue was reported to me earlier, different app, though.

Can you recreate the error on demand? If so, it'd be helpful if you could flash this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivfspxal9yy1sf0/abed_fixed_sysui.zip and see if that fixes it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Kryten, can you tell which version do you recommend when it comes to battery life?

i see both versions Diablos & Typhoon can enter deep sleep quite well

but i notice that Diablos has low screen-on-time, even lower than my previous CM11 ROM

Do Typhoon provide a better battery life and higher screen-on-time than Diablos (due to RAM management!!??) ?

also does Typhoon has AOSP SystemUI ? it is awesome :cool: i was unconvinced with the idea at the beginning but now i like it more than samsung's

Thanks and i wish you can do something about the RAM issues. I know that it is out of your power, but i wish you the best and wish you can think about it :good: :D

Keep it up :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sanukk:
Don't want to speak to soon and blow it, but that update does appear to have fixed the problem.

Thanks Mate.

I found this

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/mod-secsetting-s5-note2-reduce-ram-t2792863

Maybe it's relevant?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah I've seen that before. I've had a look at the stuff. Not quite sure how it supposedly reduces RAM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
RAM uses the same amount of power all the time. Never more ro less depending on how full it is. AFAIK, Typhoon uses AOSP SystemUI, yep :) But, it doesn't have half the mods in 4.4.2.

A lot of people like Boeffla kernel. You can install that, and:

Undervolt your CPU - up to -100mv. Start at -25mv and run for a day, then -50, then -75 and finally -100. You cna keep going loser if you can, but I would imagine you'd hit issues.

Use ZZmove governor. I like the battery or moderate setting

Use noop, row or deadline scheduler. row is perhaps the best for all round use

Leave GPU settings alone, imho. Though a mild -25v undervolt can be performed. GPU is VERY sensitive to voltage, I've found.

Everything else is personal preference. Those are the best settings I can think for battery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Choristav:
Me neither, but he did deliver.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ah, hmm, the Settings is quite lot smaller, that's true. Is it the silly grid one, though?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
so you recommend Diablos over Typhoon plus some Uv for CPU and using a battery saver profile for Zzmoove?

will make a battery life test today,

but if i faced some dead freezes and was forced to reboot then this will force me to Typhoon.

Anyways thanks for the help man. This ROM is awesome ;)

EDIT: seems like RAM issues are far reduced after replacing Samsung Camera and gallery with AOSP ones and the lockscreen too. looks like they were the culprit

but the Phone and contacts are a must for me to use the samsung ones as i face some robot voices in the call :laugh:

EDIT2: I am now on ArchiKernel v1.3.1 and followed your advice. Did Undervolting to the CPU for -75mv and GPU to -25mv and i am having noop I/O scheduler and i am using Zzmoove-Zzbattery plus gov.

will see and post battery stats after a complete day of normal usage :)

thanks Kryten for the advice
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Choristav:
Yes it is, looks like a fisher's price baby's first settings UI.

Maybe there's a way to find something in between?

[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION]

I've installed 17.1 after a full wipe and selected only Samsung Gallery (not Camera) and Samsung Contacts. The rest all as recommended. After first wizard I've installed 17.1 patch via OTA updates (checked MD5: passed). So, the problems I have encountered:

- com.android.systemui error will appears in 2 cases: if you enter the wrong pin (everything ok if you're right) and every time you receive a text message and in this case the error occurs even changing with any other messaging application

- sometimes the keyboard disappears

- keyboard swype doesn't work completely

- screen mirroring doesn't work completely

- last but not least, it happened a couple of times in few days that I found the phone locked with the screen off, I knew the phone was on because it was very hot and after a forced reboot the battery is discharged drastically

This isn't a problem but a note: I noticed that misses Samsung Browser during aroma installation. Please add like in previous releases, I need it.

Here's the logcat https://www.dropbox.com/s/af8s3epdry62uxr/logcat_and_device_info.zip

P.S. Do you think is better do wipe dalvik/cache after flashing 17.1 patch or adding patch in queue after flashing the .zip with aroma?

P.P.S. How to change or add quicksettings tiles, if is it possible?

N.B. I love this ROM but I've never been able to use it 'cause everytime you release a version I encounter problems, but I trust you've seen your commitment and since you've already proven what you're worth, you will be rewarded appropriately. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
This: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivfspxal9yy1sf0/abed_fixed_sysui.zip

will fix the notification FC for SystemUI

Regarding the pin, I tried a sim pin and got the entry wrong on purpose. It simply threw me back to the pin entry screen. No crashes.

Keyboard Swipe should work on Google Keyboard, but not AOSP Keyboard. I've found that AOSP keyboard is always installed, for some reason (will fix) and you need ot select Google Keyboard manually.

Screen mirroring is just broken. Aside from the fix I tried in 17.1, you need ot use Triangle Away to get a "Official" bianry status in download mode. Other than doing that, fixing it is out of my hands.

For the last one, I would check the kernel for such issues.

Samsung Browser is ridiculously large compared to AOSP browser and I do not plan on adding it, or Samsung Mms. The only reason Samsung Contacts and Phone is added is because some users have issues using the AOSP Contacts and Phone.

However:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
maybe you can use gravityBox [KK] Xposed module. well i can still ignore that option as i am, like kryten, not a fan of Xposed.

i feel that it may cause some extra battery drain and is not that important for me. And my rule is: if you do not find something useful to you, just get rid of it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nokian95ita:
full cal record

Good morning

i am interested to thi rom but i have a question to you

the features that you have called full call record include the automatic call record?

Edit

i installed this rom to try it, i found the call recording settings.

after adout two hours i love this rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zago84:
OK, seems I have solved most problems with the fix (except wrong PIN but actually it's relative).

I love AOSP keyboard because of the secondary symbols in keys instead Google one doesn't have it. How to enable symbols in Google keyboard? Or do you'll fix swype function in AOSP keyboard?

In Google Camera I can't find how to save pictures in microSD. How to do?

A question not about ROM but about KitKat: I use a blocker for sms but it doesn't work (in 4.3 and before it worked). In "APP OPS" I enabled everything for this app but still doesn't work. How to solve?

Thank you very much! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
AOSP Keyboard does not include Swipe, unfortunately. However, the Cyanogen Keyboard may do. I will experiment with this. I have been considering moving the keyboard installation into it's own installer section, and including SwiftKey as well, since it went free.

You cannot save pictures to the SDCard in the Google camera. I've moaned about this on XDA's homepage and on Google Play Store... since they opened it for all, they should have included that feature. You can either install an xposed module that does this instea, or, as I'd prefer, use something like foldermount to mount the internal DCIM folder to the external sdcard and do it that way... The Samsung camera, of course, offers saving to the sdcard.

About the SMS blocker, I don't know. You're best contacting the developers of the app. AppOps is for blocking permissions to apps, of which, are unblocked entirely by default. So, you only need to access AppOps if you want to disable permissions to an app. You will never need to use it to enable an app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sandrotb:
I can't boot up. Boot to recovery. How to install this rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Regarding the camera. I have added UltimaAOSP's camera to v17.2 and it works very, very well. No extra libraries were needed (except the CM camera wrapper), so it uses Samsung's libraries, not AOSP HAL libraries. This means quality should be very comparable to the stock Samsung camera. It has many filters and settings, and includes saving to sdcard. It's the new Ultima preset and recommended choice.

Changelog so far

Added long press menu button to kill app and toggle

Added CRT/Fade screen off animation toggle

Added shutter sound menu for Samsung camera

Added UltimaAOSP Camera

Added WiFi band switcher to UltimaControl

Added some missing methods to SystemUI regarding notification sounds

Added clearing contacts and phone databases in AROMA in order to facilitate users switching from AOSP or Samsung (or vise versa) without wiping the whole phone

Updated Gapps

Fixed a crash in SystemUI when you received a notification

Fixed AOSP Video Editor crashing

Fixed some install presets not installing all items correctly

Fixed Terminal not actually installing, even if chosen

Fixed AOSP keyboard remaining after installing Google Keyboard

Fixed Google Keyboard not working correctly (moved it to /system)

Fixed SuperSU installation. Now simply uses Chainfire's installation script

Fixed AOSP Gallery edit feature. No longer crashes as missing libraries were added.

Compressed some apps using GOptimise

Really great... v 17. 2 will be Ota or new release... cuz I want to download v17.1..

Thank you for you great work.. really amazing.. when it tried it I did not know that I will love it more than the s5 port
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
First I will do a full ROM, then I will make an OTA file. OTA will be a couple of days after release.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pensador:
You been busy!wow!nice job kryten!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eamon.ash:
I well wait for the full release... cuz I have v17

Thanks v.much
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You won't be waiting too long :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
So ever since day one I've been watching the progress of the 4.4.2 port for this phone. Now, trusting kryten, I shall make the jump to it. Lol also seeing as Sunday is my only free day of the week now. Hopefully I'll install the patch when released.

From the changelog, I could only notice that the problem I could face was the system UI crashing when receiving notifications. I'm guessing I can manage until the patch is released. As for the camera "fix" it was already posted so I can search.

Anything else I should know, guys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You should hold on for the 17.2 release ;) It's literally not far away :)

https://github.com/Kryten2k35/Ultim.../META-INF/com/google/android/aroma-config#L34

EDIT:

I'm gonan push this abck until tomorrow now. It's gotten late and Is tarted something new that took up a lot of time lol.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eamon.ash:
Great we are waiting for sure .....[emoji6][emoji6]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Neris:
I have only one question I couldn't find the answer to on the first two pages:

Is the ROM multilanguage?

Well, as I'm at it, can I just use CWM on my until now bone stock phone?

Flashed my GT-I9000 in the past, but doing it to the GT-I9300 is new for me and I don't know how it behaves. The way of modding changed in the past 4 years, at the times of my beloved SGS1 flashing meant everything had to be done with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You can use CWM 6.0.4.4 or later, but I highly recommend TWRP 2.7.0.0 or later.

And yes, this ROM is mostly multi-language.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] d1rekt0r:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] , did you try to add any toggles to quick settings ? At least adding Rottation toggle would be very helpful ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, it would. But the boolean inside SystemUI didn't work, so I stopped bothering.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh cool. I'll flash it after work :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drananda:
Hi guys, I'm will be a new member of this ROM, so before I go, I just have one question. Recently I bought S3 and today I decided to root the phone and install custom ROM and my choice was this ROM.

I will install TWRP from the PlayStore and begin the procedure, so the question is: do I need (after wipe data, cache and dalvik) to format system and preload? I watched video posted in 2nd post and I didn't see that...

THX for everything
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
No you don't. Just regular wipes
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lampz:
well, i dont know if its just me..

wifi doesnt seems to work..

i have flashed the fix already but still nothing happens.

what seems to be missing?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Did you try with various kernels?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
Lockscreen

I absolutely love this rom awesome battery life and not come across any problems with the function's i use but !!!!

in the lockscreen the unlock padlock is not in the center its off by 3 or 4mm im picky lol just thought i would let you know

good job on my no1 rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] l2o5v4:
Kryten2k35 why dont get us another download link !!!?

i downloaded this new ver of rom 3-4 times but dont complete download !

plz give us another link for download

sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
ROMHut is just fine. The problem is your connection, and I don't think it's compatible with download managers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Just a note to anyone using ArchiKernel. If you update to 1.3 it will break root, because they have decided to enforce SELinux, for some silly reason, and you will have to reflash SuperSU.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nokian95ita:
There is problemi on the automatico call record it does noto work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rangs641:
Use resume download option on download that failed. IDM will try to reopen the download link, but will fail. Close the Internet browser window that IDM opened, but not the IDM window that says "waiting" or something similar. Reopen a new internet browser window and go to the ROm download page and click on download. IDM will automatically pick the download and will continue from where the download had stopped
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Thanks for reporting this. I have fixed for v17.2

Short question: [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] did you do anything to notification toggle in new build? I have flashed yesterday this ROM but my only problem was notification toggle, i like to start/stop wifi, data,...from notification toggle, but it didn't work. Had to make it allways from menu. Great ROM btw. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Long press on the WiFi to toggle it, same for a couple of others (like bluetooth, but not data).

And no, not yet. I need to write all those things into AOSP first, then they will be ported here. But, all my time lately has been on this ROM, not my AOSP ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mark_sa:
Hi, I've been using 17.1 for several days, and noticed few issues:

1. Sometimes it just 'losses' the wifi and will not reconnect or show any network until I reboot. Tried to flash the patch, no help. Don't have logcat yet though...

2. Left the phone fully charged and unplugged for the night, found it with 0 battery on the morning. logcat is attached (08-35-44), but I think that it doesnt include already the causes for the crash

3. Today at noon, suddenly several apps force-closed (whatsapp, anydo, catlog and some other) and the device rebooted while I was looking at it...

logcat is attached (13-55-18)

Thanks for the efforts!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricfenrir:
This guy gets it, now THIS is how you report bugs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Hi,

For WiFi, I would try a change in kernel, as this is where the Wi-Fi driver is.

For the drain, unfortunately the log doesn't capture anything, but that's incredibly unusual. I notice you use xposed? I'm not saying it's a cause, but disabling it and modules can help eliminate the problem... I.E, if it still happens after that, then it can be said to be a ROM issue for sure.

I know WhatsApp had issues with notifications and I managed to fix this for the upcoming release.

Thank you for the logs, though, that is exactly how bug reports are supposed to be.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drananda:
Hi guys, I have a little problem. I tried to flash ROM but I got stopped in TWRP (installed version is 2.5.0.0), the phone couldn't reboot. I followed everything from the video tutorial. I tried several times pressing reboot to system, but I always got back in TWRP. I had a message saying "Need root fix" so I did that, but nothing changed.

Any advice? :confused: TWRP is installed via Play Store (I also installed BusyBox as required).

I restored my previous nandroid backup without any problems

I found out that my wifi and GPRS aren't working in restored rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
You need TWRP 2.7+ afaik
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 30adi:
Flash latest recovery

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, as it says in the OP, TWRP 2.7+ is needed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 30adi:
Just flash recovery over old one, you do not need to uninstall recovery, is no way to do it.

Busybox - leave it installed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Choristav:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] Are the commits from a few hours ago the fixes you mentioned yesterday or is there still something missing?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nokian95ita:
Where is the menu where is possibile to customize the button of fast setting in the notification menu
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, I went back on it. I was trying something fancy in the installer, but it ended up long winded and inefficient. Stuff form today is stuff I've done since then :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pensador:
Haha always doin fancy....you the man!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mark_sa:
Thanks, I will try to uninstall xposed and see if it helps.

BTW: It seems that the log gets overwritten after a reboot. Is theere a way to make it bigger?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I think I've done for today/now. I'll start a v17.2 build on my server for release. There will be a torrent this time as well :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Try flashing the attached zip. It will log the logcat to a file on your internal storage, but only Errors (not everything, to save space) after a crash, it should have the error there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I'm finally off work. Can i wait for the release? I'm too hyped for this rom. Lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, give me about 45 minutes :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
Issue

Kryten theres a pretty nasty issue with the rom 17.2 if you leave defaults it installs TWRP 2.5.0.0,

this has caused some serious headaches as it gives a metadata error at the end of the flash and

bootloops.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No. It installs TWRP 2.7.0.0, which is supported fully and works fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
If you are installing using TWRP 2.5.0.0 then you should have read the first post. It is NOT supported. It will NOT work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
I was on 2.7.0.1 after flash of rom it was 2.5.0.0 i had tp open the zip and replace the recovery.

Btw theres no keyboard either only voice commands usig default install.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Sorry but that's rubbish. I know for a fact that i included 2.7.0.0 in the ROM. All three keyboard options work also.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
If you got an s3 on hand flash the rom using defaults and reboot to recovery its 2.5.0.0
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I've been doing that exact thing for the last 2 months. You are wrong.

EDIT:

TWRP 2.5.0.0 was included in v16. Are you 100% sure you're talking about the right version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
Im not trying too start an argument i was just letting you know for ppl that do a default install and not custom. :silly:

Im 100% sure mate its 17.2 i have installed now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I don't really care what you think you're doing. The default installation works fine, does not install TWRP 2.

5

.0.0.

The information you are giving is

verifiably

wrong.

EDIT:

I'm pulling the update to investigate. I can 100% confirm you are wrong about the TWRP version.

EDIT 2:

My apologies, the keyboard install is bugged. The TWRP is not as you said, though. It is 2.7.0.0
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Can't we push a keyboard to the system/app folder manually after installing? I haven't downloaded yet, so just asking. I have a couple of google keyboard apk's laying around.

Edit: Not like it matters. Update's pulled. Lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aradalien:
Nps mate i appreciate the hard work you put into the rom its my daily driver. :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Fixed the keyboard issue already Reuploaded. Thanks for reporting.

Update is back online.

Torrent, because I'm having site issues, is below. ROMHut link is live as well anyway.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Any issues reported, unless they break things massively, will have to wait for v17.3 :)
