Using V8.0 and i can say it's really the best ROM i ever used with the s3 phone. Smooth, no fc or bugs so far, and a amazing battery life... Great work, thanks to the Dev.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kishanthj:
After flashing 8.0, all fonts except for 1 default font disppereard. I'm personally looking for the 'rosemary" font. That has been my font of choice.

Please help. Thanks again.

The rom is nearly perfect. Just one thing I have noticed not working, and thats Pinch-Zoom emails in Gmail app. That works in other roms. I have installed the Themed Gmail for Ultima. But i cant zoom in. ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
Yes. Activate it!! Just press OK and wait for a second, then a message appears where you will have to activate/approve security settings.

Probably not if it's not in the generic category. You should wait until v8 is up in OTA app.

Apply for a job at Samsung's and fix it yourself :) It's always like that with Samsung. They never manage to translate all parts.

Have some patience, it's been reported before.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lantonis:
do i really have to wipe my phone again to go from 7.3 to 8? If i install it on top of it will it be ok>? Or i might get fc's etc?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Installed v8

Thanks Kryten. You did it again. No errors or bugs to complain about. You are the best.

But :angel: somehow after installation I can see that the default File Manager was installed and even the option to update the device (FOTA) kicked in. Going to reflash it and will update if it is still getting installed.

But thank you a lot.:good::highfive:

EDIT: Even the weather widget has the logo back :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Was discussed many times already... No need for wipe. But be prepared to some bugs. If happens - flash with wipe.

Yeah, same here. Chose no File Manager, but default File Manager was installed. Not a big deal, of course. The rom is rock stable and bug free.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BinaryEclipse:
press menu, then Settings - > General settings- > check the box saying "Auto-fit messages":cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] latino147:
I just tried it without wiping (first time ever) and so far so good....

Btw, I also received the filemanager although I had unticked it. Nothing that TB can't fix ;)

Immediately after booting I got an update for an Allsharecast Dongle S/W upgrade. Let's hope this update makes the dongle work with custom roms! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Confirmed that the Default File Manager gets install even if not selected, weather widget has the logo back and Samsung software update kicks in during first boot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ardsar:
Can confirm the default file manager getting installed. I did not get any notification about Samsung update and looking at the settings menu can confirm it was not installed.

I had made this screenshot of the market in v7 when trying to buy an app.

As you can see there is a big white square and the buttons ok and cancel are invisible, I assume it's a theming issue.

I had this on my phone and my wifes (also v7), so i guess other must have encountered this too?

I can't try it again atm with v8 as I would have to buy an app :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
dude, that aroma installer itself behaviors peculiarly, look at their thread. the Ultima Installation is quite big :good: and may be that is why.

Strange thing is once I was upgrading my phone to v7.2. The installer was quite big, took time. No freeze. Then I started Ultima Sound Pack installation which is a small file and it for the first and last time crashed.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mantff:
I have installed v.8, and prefect for the moment.

I've not installed the new bootloader.

Then...I'm protected for the exploit or not?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
I have a pretty big noob question here.

As the Rom is rather "Bloated" in size will this mean that it would take more battery to run than say a light 600MB ROM?

I know there plans down the road for a light version of this ROM and I wanted to know if its worth the jump when it comes to it. I am currently trying to get as much battery out of my phone as I can and after so UV and UC according to Better Battery Stats I'm burning around 1.6% every hour is this a good amount?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
new fw's kernel= exynos bug fix.

new fw's bootloader= (allegedly) fixes the emmc (sudden death) issue.

If you expect better battery life than a stock cwm ROM then Ultima is for you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BinaryEclipse:
Not at all. In fact, most of the size of the rom is because of all the options you have - most of it you won't use (like it has 4-5 kernels and 4-5 modems, and something like 6 different launchers. This rom is great on battery and everything else. Highly recommended in every respect.

My main issue was with the amount of services and stuff running. Normally I just slap a ROM on and if I like using it and it has what I want I will use it like Ultima (amazing ROM) but now I'm on the quest to save battery I was curious to which ways I can save battery other than the obvious methods like screen settings and clocking.

I mean what are you guys getting on your Phone?

Hi there, Firstly gotta say that I LOOOOVE this rom. It is fantastic. One question though, for some reason in my messaging app it longer keeps the messages in one conversation yet has them in single ones for every message they send. It's quite frustrating. Is there something I have done for it to not work? Thank you again for this Rom as outside of this it is fantastic.

Thank you.

MASSIVE battery drain. Really not a good idea.

Please search. This has been discussed and answered. You have to take your time and not press or scroll too fast.

Please stop this. It's closing up to spamming.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Hi Kryten! About HD-voice.. Last night I installed V8 with another modem..and I lost HD-v.. so I did a restore from my original ROM (first 4.0.4 Orange(Romania))..then i did a full reset..this was the way i could get my HD-v back..but didn't work this time so I thought recovering the second backup (my first flashed 4.0.4 international ROM (XLG8 with DLID as a modem) would do the trick.. and it worked.. dialing *#197328640# showed me the WB-AMR setting : ON and UMTS WB : ON, AFTER that I flashed V8..with FULL WIPE. AND HD-voice is still present in calls BUT i get both WB-AMR setting and UMTS WB OFF..strange, as I said before HD-v is working! but the settings are OFF..Forgot to mention that only with DDDLJ1 I get HD-v..so please do not erease that modem..if i install it later from OTA like you said it doesn't work..it must be in the install process..

PS: The stock messaging icon is GREEN..like others complained..other than that everything works peachy !! Great job!

I'm currently on Omega, but want to switch to this one because of XXELLA. By flashing to v8.0 i'm 'safe' from the Sudden Death right? Or do I have to flash an extra bootloader?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] badboyscad:
AWESOME ROM.

Just changed from stock jellybean to ultima 7.2 few days ago.

Currently updated to 8.0. Keep up the awesome work man.:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I'll get that sorted.

I took them out because of space constraints. Again, I'll sort that.

The FOTA Client (Update) was added back in when you install Kies... It's the only thing I could think of that would top Kies from syncing with the PC. I don't use Kies to test, so it was a whim.

Yes, thw eather widget on the lock screen is back, I need to fix this also.

I think VishWarrior is testing for us and seeing the drain. Please, if you can, test it as well and report the battery drain for us.

It's not on by default, so that's ok :)

You can always refund it again immediately... I just bought Need For Speed (and then refunded) and I didn't get a white bit like that.

That sound pack may work, but it's for v7 :( I haven't got around to making it for v8 yet!

1.6% every hour is quite good, but could be better (if that's idle, asleep). But the size of the installer is fine, if you want, you can use it to install a 400-500MB ROM with hardly any bloat/apps.

33hr's is pretty damn good.

Can you tell me the EXACT Aroma settings you use? I'm testing HD-Voice with my device right now (switching CSC's) and it works ok, but some setting in the installer causes it to break.

No you need to flash the bootloader separately. It's also a rumour that it fixes the sudden death problem. Not confirmed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Also, as for the 3minit ROM thing. I already do that myself.

What I'm looking for is somewhere I can upload the file and an automated process takes the differences out and makes a OTA file for me.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
Entropy Seeder

Okay, So I had done entropy seeder thingy.

Over a period of about 24 hours, I did notice that the battery was draining a bit faster than before. I cannot say for sure because my usage is inconsistent. I play battery heavy games like Most Wanted and wifi is always ON with downloads in the background. Need to confirm the battery drain from multiple sources. Also, it did not have a wakelock entry in BBS.

But the improvements promised were true. In Maps, the tiles were loading up super fast. Pressing the home button after playing games did not provide any lag in loading up the homescreens. Also, my music folder had about 200 files and always would take a lot of time to load up in x-plore. Even that loading time got significantly reduced.

It does work.

Today, I undervolted my S3 -75mV to see if it balances out the battery drain. I'll report the stats tomorrow.

Also, I PM'd the developer of Entropy seeder asking him to add 'block read' so that it does not execute when the screen is off (That's unnecessary, right?)

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

If you have the backups of the system apps in the stock rom, then you'll have the alarm widget. You just have to restore the system data. That worked for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
Thank you vishwarrior, so i just have to install the app right or do i need to do something extra to get this thing work

btw, Kryten you can put this app in your rom as optional, just me thinking
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
Sorry mate, I dunno much about it. All I do is after installing a ROM with wipe, I restore all my apps + data (excluding system apks, including system data) from Titanium Backup. That gives me the alarm widget.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
This is why they are testing for me. If it's ok, I'll will add it.

ALSO:

incoming patch today to fix the minor problems, such as the file manager, sms icon, stock icons problem (gallery was still JB?) and all the rest. Then I will make the standard version and upload that.

After this, I NEED to work on a uni project, it's in very soon.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The sudden death problem is rumoured to be fixed with the bootloader (which is not included with this or any other ROM not flashed with Kies or Odin)

If you flashed the bootloader, then no it will not reset triangle away. Also, I don't think the stock kernel is compatible.

You don't have to flash it again. Just go to Settings> Lockscreen> Lock Screen options> "check" AOSP Lockscreen

It's now included in the ROM as stock, thanks to Didact74 :)

I'm sure, but please give me your FULL settings that you choose as this may help me narrow down the issues I'm having. You are bound to use different settings to me so it means less flashing to test for me.

Google Music does not play.

I never played any song using Google Music app since I installed v7 (This was the version where I replaced stock music player with Google's). But after upgrading to v8 I tried to play my list and all it was playing was complete silence. I was able to play and listen to FM stations, Games, etc. but not my Music. Rolled back to v7.2.3 and tried Google Music again and still it did not work.:mad:

The music file plays fine with other app as I tried with X-plore file manager.

Anyone else who is using Google Music to play please let me know if I have to perform any kind of configuration in my phone so I can play too. :p

whether or not people update to new stock/odin fw the triangle away is not compatible with the new bootloader in the sense:

if you have everything stock but the recovery it will show you the red exclamation mark in that recovery.

Chainfire said:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36220532&postcount=2200

But, fact is when we were in ICS or JB 4.1.1 or even in 4.1.2 with previous bootloader once you reset the flash counter it just wont show you any red mark or custom status whethere you used stock or custom stuffs. But with this new bootloader it now just cannot be avoided.

Example: if I install ultima 8 with the stock ELLA kernel and a cwm 6.0.2.7 recovery and that new Bootloader. Then , assume I had counter status like 1 or 99 (whatever) and reset the flash counter it will eep coming back if you go to the custom recovery mode you are using.

Best is, have upgraded to ultima V8. Have stock kernel with a recovery of your choice. And do not have that bootloader until it is officially confirmed it actually fixed that emmc (sudden death issue).

Even, staying with ultima v7 is not a sin considering the fact that it is actually rock stable. :D

Hi friends can anyone help. I'm trying to install this great to meet unsuccessfully this far. Coming from cm10.1, I flashed this room via touch recovery 6.0.2.7, wiped everything (data factory reset, cache and dalvik) then stayed installing the romantic, selecting the full wipe on the way but: when it gets to "the wizard has finished installation I waited for 15 minutes but it just stuck at this stage.
