Non-ROM related questions should not be asked in the ROM development thread. Please address your question in the correct forum which would be the Q&A section.

There have been a lot of these kinds of questions,

please search before posting

!!!

Battery usage is extremely subjective and depends on how and for what you use your device. It also depends greatly on what apps you have installed and what settings you apply. Both stock kernel and Siyah usually balances battery life and perfomance pretty well. The only way to find out is to try yourself. With the OTA kernel mod it is very easy to change kernel.

This is not just for you but for all questions concerning battery life. Try for yourself! If you find some combination of kernel and settings that seems way better than the other, please share your results and stats, but only if it's something revolutionary over it :)

Kryten have in mind this :::for the first week of january, you'll have new phenomenal:: dev said wait so to put it in rom.Thx

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

.Depends on 1 think and its heavy usage.Every user espect most amazing life and its all same.As siyah kernel (1 to rule them all) same goes for battery.Tthere are heavy users and light users.Someday these light users can suddently go gaming somewhere in the desert or forest,and being tricked and batt just drop dead suddently.As for gaming/light/medium heavy/super light usage go for phenomenal.Im every usage user and thats my word.The only think your battery depends its not ur everyday usage but how u feel inside everyday.1day u want games other dnt use phone at all,other movies/music thats it.Sry english

Problem with Camera Video Stock

Hello, the first thing for me is the best ROM, I have 7.2.3

After this, I have a problem with the video recording with camera Stock (Samsung) does not record video ... I installed the HX-Mod to work OK

I have Medium Kernel Phenomenal.

Before installing the ROM using a super Wipe

Thank you very much for this great ROM!

PS: Sorry for my english: P

Is anyone using the extsd2internalsd mod from this rom? Does it work perfectly? i just got my 64 gb sd card and wanna try it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
has any tried using STweaks on this ROM yet?

I would like to try and get max battery life out of my ROM and I know Stweaks can really help with this, what im wondering is if there is a guide on this as I don't have much of an idea about this and don't want to cause any damage. or alternatively is there a list of recommended settings?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] intrudar:
Nope! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fknshwow:
I use it. works great. one thing to keep in mind.... this mod is only intended so that your phone installs that extra app data to your external card.. for example, if you install he game nova 3 and then look in storage, you will notice your internal (external storage after you use the mod) will still decrease. but when you run the game and download the game data you will notice the internal (external storage after you use the mod) storage is untouched, only your sd card. if that makes sense. if not let me know and i can re explain it.

but yes, it does work and it works great
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salilkansal:
Ya i got it. Mainly what youre saying is that the apps will still use internal sd but the data that goes in android/data folder or android/obb folder will now go in external sd.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fknshwow:
yeah pretty much. it really helps out when you have alot of games that require extra data
[Galaxy S III Android Development] clyphox:
I recommend "DiskUsage" on play store
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salilkansal:
sd maid is also pretty good. But use with caution.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Yeah. Im that kinda person. Fed up that i can only keep 1 or 2 games that are big. Now its endless space. Also when installing rom in the log it says extsd2internalsd v4 installing. But in changelog it says v5. This needs to be changed.

Hi there,

I'm using this ROM since the 6.0 version.

This post is just to let you know that i've installed the 7.2 and everything went fine.

Then i installed the patch 7.2.1 and still no problems.

The issues came with the 7.2.2 that make my camera do stop working.

I rollbacked to the 7.2 version and now everything works like a charm again.

I'm a bit "affraid" to install the 7.2.3 version but i'll be following this thread and if i get any issue i let you know.

Congrats for your excellent work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
7.2.3 has the same camera "fix" as 7.2.1 :) I rolled back.

But, I'm downloading wanamlite XXELLA right now and will make a start on v8 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djcenox:
It's only me or wi-fi direct don't work? I'm trying with 2 gs3 but seems not sending files.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Works fine for me and my GF's SGS3 both running this rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djcenox:
Are you sending with CM10 manager? Do you need to be connected in the same wifi network?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
With W-Fi direct you don't connect to a Wi-Fi network... you send it ad-hoc and I've used many apps to send it. It doesn't really matter which it is, really, once you pick "Wi-Fi Direct" as the sharing method, the app has very little control and everything is passed over to the Wi-Fi Direct stuff.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
Wifi-Direct works just fine.

Good luck on v8, Kryten.

Can I recommend a file explorer I found better than any other root explorer:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=xplore+play+store

It's called xplore. I've been using it since Symbian. And it gets even better in Android.

(( The white theme looks kinda cheap. Use the black one))
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Nova 2.0 is released and while it will be included in Ultima as an option I cannot enjoy it because it still wont support the beautiful transparent (or non) accuweatherwidget. This is now a dilemma for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The only launcher to suport it is TouchWiz, AFAIK.

But, they added a feature I asked for a number of times :D Separate Widgets and Apps in the drawer... so you can either scroll both, or you have to select one. Holo has it and now Nova does.

About 80% of the way through ELLA. IT was quick straight forward, but I haven't flashed yet. This is going to be a straight up port of v7.0 at the moment as I don't have time to start adding anything new... v7.2 added quite a lot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Thanks.

My honest impression of v7 is it is in a word- GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So go on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salilkansal:
Also when installing rom in the log it says extsd2internalsd v4 installing. But in changelog it says v5. This needs to be changed.to v5

could you please add Snote to the aroma for v 8? thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scarface1991:
But still it`s an important update if Samsung fixed the Sudden Death problem, although I can`t see how it can be related strictly to software. I really wonder what they changed to fix this issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slayer1977:
Hmm i dont know why but now the Power Amp Music Player dont work.I try to re install but than came the info i dont have enough space to install the app.But this is wrong.I have enough space and other apps i can install without any problems.Is this now a power amp problem or from the rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 0asis:
Already saw that on a stock rom. So thats not related to ultimate rom

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scarface1991:
Is it only with PowerAmp or also when you try to install other Apps?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slayer1977:
Its only power amp but now it works again.I restart the phone and i can install the app without problems.Strange but now everything is fine:good:

I am using Ultima Rom 7.1.1.... Can i flash the new boot loader on this ROM, the one that Samsung released to fix sudden death issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
V8.0 is up.

As usual, report bugs (proper ones, please search the forum first!) Blah blah, I promise to get around to the Standard and Lite versions this time. I was going to upload them yesterday, but then someone showed me the XXELLA version!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Probably.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] net.cat:
Probably it's a stupid question but .. is last Siyah compatible with the last ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sgbmad:
Yes, really fast! Downloading :laugh:

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iArmghan:
Correct me if i am wrong... the latest 8.0 Ultima Rom consist of XXELLA... this version include exynos bug and sudden death patch?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] satfan:
7.2.3 works perfekt, do i have to make a full wipe for 8.0?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
You can try without it, but since it's a new BASE there may be some bugs. It's always better to wipe.

Was this exynos-mem exploit already fixed in Siyah's and other kernels? Or it's sth new?

And what's the MD5? There is old one at your site. I've got 4e4e1739e129a7e9daf62b227af84c44 *UltimaROM_V8.0_Ifrit-Ultimate.zip Is it correct?

BTW, new design of the site is awesome!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
It was TEMPORARILY fixed by Chainfire and/ others and was said in the beginning. Everyone awaited for the hotfix/permanet fix that Sammy was supposed to bring. This is the fix along with a new bootloader that fixes the sudden death.

The deodexed version on which the version 8 is based does not include the bootloader that is supposed to fix that emmc chip prob (sudden death). So whilst you installed version 8 you are fixed with exynos exploit but you will remain without the bootloader. Therefore you have to download that bootloader tar file that Perka made available on his stash and then flash it ONLY through PC ODIN. Then we all good to go I guess.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Galaxy_Fan:
@Kryten2k35:

I just have to say:

nice thanks! the bootloader package is a zip file, while it should be a tar or something else but not a zip. Do u think a simple rename should be good, or should I repack it under linux?

I read in the firmware thread that the new bootloader has new type of security against the triangle away. All the people who have installed new bootloader can please check if the triangle away app still works to reset the flash counter!

E.g. phone/contacts app from a miui base?

cause it's sammy base too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
sure, try this app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Disruptor85:
Hi Kryten, your ROM customization is awesome. ATM, everything is working fine, but only 2 hours of use...

I want to request the new bootloader, if it's possible, to install as CWM zip... Is it possible to install this way?

As you know, with new XXELLA includes new Sboot.bin and tz.img. Will it be the solution for that "sudden death" issues by Samsung?

Thanks for your hard work ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Making bootloader flashable and CWM (which probably is not possible) flash is not advised.

Samsung acknowledges sudden death, fix on the way
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ricksIII:
Great! I did not wipe and I have no fc's!

That's not what I meant.

I know and bought a lot of these apps ...but all apps need the standard phone apk. I want a complete change.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
Same here, no wipe and still seems good.

Quite difficult atm as the dialer and contacts are deeply integrated in the tw framework. It's nothing that the dev is or will be working on finding out for now. If you find an app that works, please notify :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Theshawty:
I installed this just now and this is the most amazing custom tw rom out there. A question, though. Is there a flashable zip for the cm10.1 keyboard? I chose the aosp one in the installer but it only gave me the 4.1 one, not the 4.2 aosp one I wanted. I didn't like the Nexus 4 keyboard as much as the one in say cm10.1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] falcon212:
Is it possible to get same notification pull down as nexus4 ?with the quick settings button on the top corner right ? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] simes6600:
after reading about "exynos bug", "sudden death" and "flashing new bootloaders" etc, is it perfectly safe to flash 8.0 over my 7.2.3 (with siyah 1.8.6)? obviously Kryten wouldn't release a rom that could potentially brick a phone, just wanna make sure its all safe/is there anything i need to do before i update. thanks peeps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
No, it's a part of 4.2.1 rom and Samsung haven't released this version yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
Unless you mess something up on your hand it's safe. Several users already have flashed it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] net.cat:
Perfect thanks! Before that there was a zip file, that's why my question!

1. is there any possibility to update the ROM instead having to wipe and restore every app?

2. the sms app aosp doesn't merge conversations from the same phone number ... is it normal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
It may be, as was mentioned before by ricksIII and longice. The fix for "exynos bug" is in Siyah kernel, as to the "sudden death" and "flashing new bootloaders" you shouldn't worry about it, cause it's just rumors.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
Yes, of course. First you just need to buy Samsung and order them to release a 4.2 base for S3 today. Then we can have it :D

OR you could search and find the answer: No, not yet ;)

kryten, you are able to change what bullet point in aroma that are preselected? For future releases, will you be able to preselect the always newest base/modem etc so that I can just turn on my autopilot in aroma? :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Yeah, I wonder, why EL4 baseband was selected by default instead of the newer one, ELLA? :)

And why Phenomenal 4.0 is still there? It's a troubled one kernel, till it's being updated.

I did so and I'm still alive. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
1. Try, you might be lucky, but don't complain if you're having issues with FCs +++

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mauaus:
I have to choose the default ELLA kernel to get the exynos fix. Our can i sick with perseus?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
I think the fix is already there, in all kernels except for Phenomenal. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
It is the 4.2 keyboard, however it seems to differ slightly from cm10.1 keyboard. I agree that the latter is the better. But it'd have to be modded somehow to work on a 4.1.x base as it's a 4.2.x app. It FCs on 4.1.x ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gneus:
I flashed 7.2.2 UltimaRom yesterday. Went to 7.2.3 after immediate update. The rom seamed pretty good and so far I haven't discovered any fc's. The only thing that I do not like is the appearance and the lack of flexibility of Launcher. I do not like the stock-like menus, dialer etc. In other words, I'd like to have all the stock look gone. Having used Resurrection Remix 3.1.2 and ReVOLT 2.8.2, I'd love to see the looks/appearance of any of these two combined with UltimaRom's stability.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Aoi_sora9x:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] GhostCanon:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There's no real any point in changing the CSC unless you really must and want OTA updates from Samsung (which is something you'd do on the totally stock, unrooted, Odin image). Be warned that it will wipe your data partition too (it's like a factory reset).

I totally forgot to to the OTA files last night (Though in my defence it took 2hr to upload and it was 7am :( ) which I'll do now for those waiting for that.

Also, I forgot the MD5 as well... I was on my GF's computer, which is a Celeron G530(Dual Core 2.4GHz), 4GB 1333MHz RAM, NVidia GT8500 machine I put together. This is compared to my i5-2500k (4.5GHz), 12GB 1600MHz RAM and GTX670... needless to say creating a zip file takes a lot longer on that thing!

Also added the BitShare and DepositFiles links :)

Everything seems to be going well for you guys (no bugs, yay!) so I'll start making the Standard and Lite versions now and get them uploaded tonight also.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] satfan:
BUT (and this is a big BUT), i have also heared from others that a installation from 7.2.3 without FullWipe also functioned without any troubles....
