[MENTION=418304]Kryten[/MENTION] i love your work... been using for ages now... very happy to stick with 15.1 for ever... if that's the choice... i don't need unstable, incomplete, buggy, hashed together rom released in a rush to please the masses.. ultimarom to me... is the perfect blend of all that i need, easy complete customization, generally all the mods i normally go for first.. plus breaking features and stability... and it really gets to me when the forums get bogged down with all this nonsense... enjoy what you have been given... and if kryten sends more gifts your way... gracefully accept them... otherwise you are not contributing just annoying.... begging for things.... be quite and wait patiently.... especially when im subscribed to this waiting patiently myself... every time you go oh eta plz... i get a lil excited as the xda notification pops up....only to find more gibberish...

rant over!

Eh, it's not late. It's Christmas and I have a family.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sukulankur:
I dont get it. Why should there be chatter...if there is nothing to chat about. Most issues have been talked about...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
i had an issue after flashing 15.1. google search wouldn't work. it kept crashing.

any ideas on what i can do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] miketino:
Exact same problem although I did only realise it like last week
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kunal1540:
Update it from google play...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Still the same issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ancira:
Use rom toolbox lite, see link below.

AllShare Cast isn't working... even flashing a zip file that fix the problem in custom roms.. any help? thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BinaryEclipse:
The music thing happened to me too the other day. It was a surprise and I had to pause the music myself. I'm on aosp dialer and used stock music and I'm on 15.0. I haven't been checking the forums much as of late, so I'm sorry if I answered too late lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Will try using esfilemanager :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BinaryEclipse:
I had this issue as well in 15.0. Last night, I tried something that worked. In Google play store, find google search and uninstall it. Then you'll have the stock ultima one even though google play thinks you don't have it. So you'll be behind an update, but it'll work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mafioso:
ok thanks dude. Yes i think AOSP dialer is the culprit. The other music player which I use (MIUI one) also does the same..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Happy Christmas/Day off to all UltimaROM users. It's Christmas Day here in the UK (past 12am, that counts).

Boxing Day evening I shall resume my work :)

I've been beta testing the release myself over the last 3-4 weeks or so, and it's just fine. Just one niggle that's frustrating me. It will also ship with Xposed and GravityBox, because it's extremely convenient.

The UltimaROM icons pack will receive a much needed update, too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pensador:
Merry christmas to you 2 matt!you were great this year! Thnc for all your effords!have a nice christmas and new year with your family...enjoy your days off...you earned it!It's amazing how you combine all the things you do.

Happy Holidays [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guerouig:
merry christmas guys. simple question, as to me it's not clear from OP: is this a 4.3 ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kunal1540:
No,not yet..as kryten said in above post he will resume his work on rom that is 4.3 after christmas,then u cn enjoy 4.3 flavour of this awesome rom..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
Happy holidays, and the present I want from SantaKryten: The new Ultima ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] treb88:
Hope the next release..it would be like pure aosp style..the default apps is aosp..then the sammy apps and google apps is just add ons..dont want to install some un needed apps..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Really? Because the first line of "features" says it's a 4.1.2 ROM. At the bottom of the first post it also states it's a 4.1.X ROM.

You're blind or lazy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Lol people are ridiculous.

But question though, after seeing installers for other roms being no more than 100MB made me wonder, what's the smallest installation size possible for a Samsung rom? I remember you saying Samsung apps are really heavy, but what would it be with only the essentials? An extremely slimmed down bare bones version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's the framework stuff that's pretty heavy. The upcoming ROM is going to b about 587MB. It could be less without preinstalled GAPPS. Once the installer starts to fill up it'll increase in size, but not a lot. Some stuff won't be included or will be unnecessary.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Are other skins this heavy? Like sense roms or motorola?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I honestly wouldn't know.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
Merry Christmas mate. We lost another smali dev to xposed? :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Cheers mate :)

It has everything this ROM needs and is ready to ship now. But I still don't like the minor lag xposed has on scrolling, so I'll be working my way back putting more and more mods into the framework myself :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
good to hear that :)

...I'm here for testing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
Good good. Smali devs are a dying breed now and nothing (including xposed) beats an integrated framework mod in my opinion. Xposed is great at what it does but it just doesnt sit well with me for one reason or another. Especially as if a module isnt specifically made for a devices fw it can have somewhat unexpected results due to small differences in the files. For Samsung roms at least this takes away from the "universal" idea of xposed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] guerouig:
[MENTION=418304]Kryten[/MENTION] : probably both. sorry for wasting your time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
new base.

[ROM][XXUGML2][4.3][CWM] Sammy's Stock (Deodexed/Rooted/Zipaligned/Busyboxed/Init)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well, damn :D Ah well, I'll download that now :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
What differences does it have from the one already used? Is it important to have new bases?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No idea until I look at it. But if I'm about to release I might as well use the latest. Won't be an issue to port my changes over.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Some say that, i don't know what, "recent apps not being shown but present" bug is fixed and it is snappier..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ancira:
I just got a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I've tried using dropsync to be able to view the notes taken on the Note on the GS3, but it seems like the S Note app included in this rom is an older version. The new version uses spd file extension and the one on this rom uses snb. Is it possible to include the new version on the upcoming 4.3 rom? I've tried searching for a compatible gs3 apk, but haven't found one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
New ROM most likely will not include SNOte (it's very heavy).

Beta tonight. Might make it a public one, might not. Haven't decided. Been awake since 12pm yesterday :D working solidly since about 2am last night.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] donoli74:
Let me help you,just make it public.:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
Beta is still uploading.... Still ~400MB to go...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] c_tho:
so what's the go with theming this thing? vertumus' theme can't be used i assume so is kryten theming all the settings etc.?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I themed certain apps myself. Some I didn't need to theme at all, since they aren't included.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] _Negan_:
Kriten is this beta public or not?

Kinda disappointed and excited at the same time :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Lidroid toggles are totally gone. Most toggles can be accessed via quicksettings anyway.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I know ArchiDroid has this. Maybe if I can find time to implement it, and if he doesn't mind sharing his method.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
EEEEEKKKK!! Looks good man can't wait for it to be released. Take your time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Is it possible to edit the tiles? From what I can see, that's some complete AOSP I'm seeing. Hopefully all (or most) samsung apps will be gone to give the complete package.

Is the AOSP lock screen finally good to go?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
That might be helpful: https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/tree/1.X-EXPERIMENTAL

Anyway, I'd say he wouldn't mind if you ask him for help/approvement to implement similiar thing. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, you can edit the quick settings. That's simply a stock screen I took, no modifications made.

Yes, AOSP is good to go :D

He says he's quite open to requests. I'll see what he says and add it as a planned feature?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yosef019:
You also can port the intenal to ext mod?

Its a couple row of text
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Does it work with 4.3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
I have a feeling this is a silly question but is the new version 4.3 or 4.4?

Sure I saw it a few pages back but can't see it now.

Possibly gone by it as I looked back but I've got 2 young toddlers who are ill and a massive aversion to me sleeping well. I'm not with it today.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] _Negan_:
Official Stock based so 4.3, there is no official kit kat 4.4 for s3 atm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Of course there isn't. They skipped 4.2.2 didn't they?

It's all coming back to me now. One of those days.

Thanks mate
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's alright Gaz, I wouldn't hold it against you :D

Any day now I'll be a new father. hence the massive push towards this release lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] swift2fly:
i havent been on for a while and im still on v13.0. i'm anxious about this new updated ROM. Just browsing through the past few pages...will the new build still have the samsung camera app? Also, i read about the IMEI issue from the previous ROM, will it be a concern this time?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
That IMEI issue is long gone.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Gratz! New baby developer on the way. Hurray for faster updates :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Congrats on the new baby.

Mikail :D I've seen you around Overclock.net forums, btw ;)

Happy New Year to all.

Release Candidate will be uploading tonight. If it gets the all clear, you could be enjoying ultima v16 very soon :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] forumber2:
First of all,Happy new year :)

I have a question. I just installed the ROM but what is this icon (in attached) mean? and how can I remove it?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
It's the ultimarom icon and is selected in aroma installer if I remember right.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neymre:
2 quick questions. Does this rom includes default samsung applications and it is necessary to install gapps in order to have google applications?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
1) yes

2) no. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neymre:
So this is a stocked based rom :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
*delete*
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Yip. It's all in the OP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] neymre:
So it is a combination of a stock rom with AOSP features;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
So you can read :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There will be some stock apps included in the ROM, not many. The others (S-Voice, SPlanner, Allshare, etc) will be available OTA. You could also use [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] 's bloatware packs for the same base, but I will provide downloads as well.

The download will be approximately 650MB, and comes pre-odex'd (there will not be a none odex'd version - There are no smali mods to apply post-install therefore we can use odex).

There will be less options in the installer. This is done because:

a) The ROM is going in a different direction

b) Updating all the extras, launchers, kernels, modems, etc was a chore and took me too long to do (see the lack of v15 OTA)

c) This way, the upload is smaller, the download is smaller (for you guys) and there's less to maintain for me. Happier dev, more productive dev.

I've been using Google/AOSP software on my S4 and Nexus 10 for some time and I've now grown very accustomed to it. The thought of using stock Samsung anything is frightful. Emphasis will be placed on Google features. I'm calling this ROM and future ROM's Google Edition.

2014 Plans?

Regarding the S4 ROM, I don't see as there is room for UltimaROM there. There are many ROMs for the S4. If you want a Samsung AOSP ROM, you should try BlackBox by [MENTION=4097982]DSA[/MENTION], if you want Google Play, you should use Dandroid by [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]. I may find time or feel compelled to do this over the summer when there is more time to spare from school work. Right now I feel at home and completely at ease with SGS3 development.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Which kernels and launchers will be included in the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Actually, if you would set up github repository then you could track ArchiDroid branch and all updates with just a few cherry-picks.

On the other hand you could backport my pocket debian, implement some frontend like script or GUI and provide delta upgrades so users wouldn't need to download whole pack every time, I've implemented that into ArchiDroid recently.

Let me know if you need a helpful hand [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Sounds interesting :) I'll see how things go after the 20th (got lots of Uni work to get in before then).

Currently the "OTA" part is just a downloads app that lists files and lets you download them. In this case it'd be a "SPlanner" package of about 6-7MB that the user flashes in CWM/TWRP.

However, delta updates sounds more appealing for the future :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Boeffla, yank stock and googy. I feel that's a good coverage...

EDIT:

BTW, I PM'd you with beta a few days ago?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's complicated as hell, because it's my original solution/function and nobody implemented that yet :p.

Still in alpha/beta, however fully working.

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/blob/2.X-EXPERIMENTAL/_archidroid/auto/system/bin/adflash

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/blob/2.X-EXPERIMENTAL/_archidroid/auto/system/bin/adgithub

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/blob/2.X-EXPERIMENTAL/_archidroid/auto/system/bin/adlinux

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/blob/2.X-EXPERIMENTAL/_archidroid/auto/system/bin/debian

Catch dependencies, proper syntax for delta upgrades is f.e. adflash 2e git :D.

Take a look if you wish, I'm still improving this and it works great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Oh no really I must have missed it. I'll get it now. Thanks fella.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] richar524:
Thanks Kryten

I have been using this ROM for a long time. I am (I believe like many others) a silent follower of this forum and even when I switched to Nexus 4 for a few months, I was keenly expecting 4.3 from you and and v16 will surely be a gift for people like us. I have no idea of android coding and all those stuff but all I want to say is Thanks Kryten for your wonderful work and dedication and I am really happy to know that you will be continuing your work for S3.:)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
Does the installer still freeze after finishing on CWM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Setup wizard froze at first setup. A power down and battery pull seemed to cure it for me. This ROM is great. I'm using yank kernel for a few days to see how the battery goes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
I know this ROM worth flashing. Actually it is the best so far, but this installer issue is bad :(. Specially it happens with UltimaROM only. Which recovery are you using?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
I'm using TWRP and the install went fine :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
No issues with PhilZ Touch 6.07.8. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
More or less every modding stuff like clock, tiles, power menu etc.

can be found in the gravitybox xposed module. Take your time to fiddle with it.

I would suggest boeffla kernel with pegasusqplus govenour for this Rom. You could also activate zram with boeffla config. That could make the Rom even more smooth and less battery draining

try TWRP Recovery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Gravity Box for most settings.

And because it's 20MB, and it sucks. There are plenty downloads for it on XDA if you wanted it. Even the Google Edition One adn S4 ROMs don't include it. It's a Nexus 5 feature only (even my Nexus 10 didn't get it on 4.4).

The included launcher is 3-4MB and more easily customised (by me, for you). Though, I honestly expect most people will use their own third party launcher anyway.

It's CWM that's the problem, not the Ultima installer. However, the installer is 1GB smaller, and thus problems occur less.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Also, just to note, but this ROM is 100% compatible with GravityBox, which is built for Nexus devices... so there you go ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheKonqa:
I got a problem with taking screenshots :s

I did a fullwipe and flashed the new ROM (btw thx for that guys :) ), but i can't take screenshots anymore.

I press the combination "Home&Powerbutton", a sounds plays, an animation begins to show that i took a screenshot but then an error message appears at the status bar :s, the screenshot could not be saved.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue?

thx in advance =D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
Look in your Gallery App. Maybe it worked, and it just shows you that it didn't worked. I heard about a bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Sounds like some problem with your internal storage. Did you make sure to wipe it before/during the install? I took several the other day to show off here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Also:

The Real Holo icons pack will be getting updated at some point. Rather than a flashable zip, it will be an app that works with Apex, Nova, Action, Go and Smart Launcher. Thanks to JaiThemes's OS application.

And the direct call motion works find on the Samsung apps, as expected, but not in the AOSP apps. Don't install the AOSP if those are features you require.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheKonqa:
Thanks for that hint =)

Apparently the folder "data\media\Pictures" (internal SD) had incorrect permission settings (it was read-only), thx for ur time and for the ROM :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kskbl23:
Hello!!!! Happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
