I was on 7.2.3 Hades and I just flashed 8.1.1 but everything is wiped. What did I do wrong (so I can learn from my mistake)?

In AROMA installer, there are 3 options: super wipe, wipe data, and nothing. I picked wipe data. Should I not do this next time? What should I select?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
You should just format your cache (Recovery Mode > Mounts and Storage > format /cache ) and format you Dalvik Cache (Recovery Mode > Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache). Both are CWM options. After this load the ROM and choose for "wipe nothing".

If you are coming from an AOSP ROM you should follow the following step: Recovery Mode > Mounts and Storage > format /data
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longice:
kryten, app/feature request: More file managers to select among in aroma? Either Root Browser or File Manager. IMO both stock and CM stinks :)

If you wanna keep your apps and settings, choose "Do nothing". That will keep your apps and settings, but might cause issues such as FCs and more. You can always try to flash a new version with wiping, but if you have any issues don't complain before you have tried a reflash with wipe.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

As he said, he was coming from Ultima 7. Then there shouldn't be necessary to wipe.

And it is not necessary to wipe the caches manually. The installer does that automatically.

Well aware of that, just some global information :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Hi guys,

Yeah the torch on the toggles is white because it's not on. Blue is on, white is off. I've done it this way for a while (since the ICS domination mods).

And the wallpaper images should be in [SDCARD]/Pictures/Wallpapers/...

Basically, if you installed the zip from /extSdCard/ then they will be here:

/extSdCard/Pictures/Wallpapers/...

If you installed from /sdcard/ then they will be here:

/sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers/...

For instance, when I copy a ROM to flash on my phone, I always copy it to /extSdCard/Flash/ which is a folder I keep everything I flash using CWM. So, when I install my wallpapers are in /extSdCard/Pictures/Wallpapers/

If you're still stuck, I'll put them in the downloads section :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rtimoff:
Hey Kryten. You don't understand us. Toggle flashlight colour must be white when it's off. But there's a blue colour on it. And when flashlight is On, toggle button is white. Should be on turnover, you know?

Second. I flashed ROM from ext sd card. After that there appears a folder with your nickname, and bad .zip file within. No picture-folder.

For your information.

Btw, ROM is excellent. I love it!

Wow mate, this rom is amazing. I didn't even wipe data or anything, just slashed it and everything is running perfect and smooth. This is defo a keeper. What else is there to improve? :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I see, weird. Which toggles are you using for that to happen?

I'll make the needed changes and I have a stand alone mod that is in the Jelly Bean Domination thread that I'll update (and you can use that to change until I do a new ROM version).

I'm using the Brightness Slider without Text which works fine (blue when on, white when off).

And very strange regarding the wallpapers. AFAIK they unzip ok for me. I had tried just having them in a folder and letting the updater-script copy them over, but it always copied 0KB files. So, what I did was zip them up and have busyboz unzip them in the updater-script.

The wallpapers are now in the downloads section individually or as a zip with them all in, but they should unzip correctly :(

I use this command in an sh file:

unzip -n /sdcard/kryten/wallpapers.zip -d /sdcard

the -n says not to overwrite any files and the -d say unzip to the following dir.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There's a few hitches with the theme that I'll be waiting for Master Vertumus to iron out (he's doing a fantastic job). If you open the stock music player, or the Videohub, you'll see the problem. Still entirely functional, though.

There's also the MediaScanner Jelly Bean problem that I can't do anything about. You should keep your eye on the MediaScanner draining the battery and making the phone hot if you come from an ICS ROM. If you installed over another JB ROM you're probably ok :)

The only other stuff to fix is whatever is reported here by you guys :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rtimoff:
I'm using toggles with text and brightness.

And there is an transparency issue with slider, like with 3-rd party launchers. But this little issues... not a big deal for me at all. Overall, ROM is freaking great.

Upd.

Thanks for wallpapers, it's very suitable

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Dunno, if you can find a mod or a link to someone having that kind of mod on a Touchwiz I could look into it :)

Also, just deleted my wallpapers folder and reflashed the ROM... wallpapers were copied correctly...

I'll have to look into the toggles tomorrow because I have to leave it for tonight! I' update and PM you when I've done :)

gotta say im really impressed with this rom. iv had no bugs or any issues at all. massive thumbs up to you. thanx mate. iv got a new favourite daily driver now.

Good job. Smooth and fast thnks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Wow, cool rom! It's really fast and seems to be quite stable. And it is also kick ass looking! Congratulations, Kryten2k35!

As to my impressions and flashing expirience...

1) Installed from extSDcard (from my signature) - quite fast and wallpapers are in it after install, no problems.

2) Flashlight toggle is inverted (as was mentioned) - when flashlight is off the toggle is blue. Not a problem for me. Chosen 15 toggles with brightness slider and text.

3) Could you please add reboot options: Reboot, Hot boot, Download, Recovery?

4) Is it possible to make rom "cleaner"? I mean not to install additional bloatware, such as Google maps, Music hub, Play music, etc. This things better to install from Market as someone need it.

5) During install, in Aroma, I didn't marked any bloatware, but right after install was asked to log in to Samsung apps! And this app asked about an update itself.. Strange.

Conclusion. Great rom! Will definetely stick with it. :) Thanks, Kryten2k35, for your work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rivafe:
Is there any way to hack the volume sound?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Good ideas :)

1. good to know the wallpapers worked ok for you. I was getting worried about them not working ok :D

2. I'm about to begin work on that now. It's a quick fix.

3. I can look into this. I've seen the post in the dev section about it. I usually use CWM Manager to reboot to recovery though.

4. Yep, I'll add those additional apps to the cleaner and

5. yes I've noticed the Samsung apps thing! Must look into that further

Do you mean remove it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xanthrax:
I've been using siyah 1.6.2 since 18 hrs now and I've got nice issues so far
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rivafe:
The hack volume is already active when you flash this Rom?

If the answer is yes, why in other roms it's louder?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
1.6.3 is out now too :)

I'm not sure I understand :(

I haven't put a volume hack in this ROM. It's quite stock in that respect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jhonny20041433:
Is there any beneficial difference between the Siyah Kernel and stock kernel?

I chose Stock Kernel and it has been working absolutely fine, will there be a major improvement with Siyah Kernel? And is it stable?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
In my experience no, the Siyah Kernel included isn't stable. It has severe lags at the moment for whatever reason. However, 1.6.3 is supposed to have fixed a few of those. I'm going to test Perseus kernel myself today. The only reason I've ever used the Siyah kernel was for the adjustable USB charging rates to change the rate froma USB connected to a computer to close to what it would be coming from the wall.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hierarchy666:
Nice ROM. Hope Jkay integration would be implemented. Need Battery Percentage on the icon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
15 Toggles fixes have been uploaded to the downloads section. Find them under Mods. They will be incorporated into the next revision :)

EDIT:

As for the volume hack? I'd be hesitant to include that. I'll try the APK that the developer has provided and perhaps include that with the ROM as an option. I know Siyah Kernel will include changing the loudness to 63db anyway, so it may be moot.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, again, longice, remind me again when I hit back for Ultima :D I'll add ES too.. That's another fantastic one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Yeah, it was in the changelist.

But how about the OTA icon integrated in the settings menu? It is just blank but if touched it launches and is fully functional. Anyone else having this?

I always use stock launcher.

Update:

Checked the gigantic ROM file with md5 sum. All green. Then taken out the secmms.apk and when I put it it was blue. But in Root Explorer it was green before. Must be a not-so-clear-process of mysterious Aroma installer. Now its blue and fine.

For now I extracted the settings apk from v8 and using it so far. If someone mentions it also happened with them, then I guess it was an accident. If not, then I will have a clean install again as I was not even given any option whether to set the OTA icon coloured or BnW.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlers:
Does the default dialer i install the rom is the sluggish one but the one i installed from Aroma is the one thats suppose to be fast.Also how to remove the option from screen goes off when put near ear upon call
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
¬.¬ It's blue. I have the files here. It's blue. I can see it's blue. It WAS changed as of 8.1.

And the OTA icon I don't know, sorry.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The default dialler is slower to open (across all roms), but yes the swipe dialler is quite quicker. AS for the other thing, please make a thread in the Q&A section. I don't know how to do that.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] keteflips:
I think this is my new favourite rom.

I can get the Google Reader with the inverted theme?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok, the changelog is identical, there is nothing new.

Also:

1. Auto-haptic isn't new and has been a feature since at least Jelly Bean.

2. Gallery names scroll in XXELLA also.

I believe the user is facing the placebo effect regarding the contacts and phone apps speed since he already got the first two wrong (and probably the S-Planner thing too).

EDIT:

And I have no time, as I've made clear for the last few days, to do anything on UltimaROM until I get this project out of the way.

EDIT 2:

It appears the changelist is bigger:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

But as I said before, I'm not updating or doing anything for a while. The two changes mentioned in that review are not changes.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] degiovab:
Please: don't waste your time updating your ROM with new releases every day.

It is already fabulous as it is and, unless something significant happens in Samsung stock, there would be little benefit in creating a new version.

Thanks again... this is now my fav rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Even if you would jump to update it, I could not jump to dl that instantly. Just have 8.1.1 and the installation is...big. Want to have a new rom enjoyed atleast a whole week. Cannot dl new roms each and everyday. Slowly.

Cannot believe without having it known that the autohaptic thingy was introduced how could someone post a review like that. I just tested and as he stated it does vibrate and such in angry birds star wars on xxella ultima 8.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiNtEnEl:
Default OTA app icon is blue, in Settings OTA icon is BnW. On both phones here. Im using Nova launcher on both phones. Everything works in both cases.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
I think another flash would resolve that for me. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's black and white by default. If you flash the OTA icons file and choose the samsung icons, it will be blue.

As someone mentioned, having it black and white was more fitting with the rest of the icons in the jelly bean set, so that's the default.

And yes, I told you, the icon is blue and it has nothing to do with the aroma installer :)

EDIT:

Try now please. It should be ok.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
That's fine.

I was talking about two things- the mmsapk's green icon and the peculiar blank field (which just happened to me) in the system settings. That blank field is the one I am hoping to be fixed if I just flash it again.

But regarding the messaging (stock one) default blue icon- I full wiped my phone and installed the ROM that uses Aroma. Even after that, the messaging appear to be green. Then what else could cause this other than aroma?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Your phone, I guess. Aroma just moves the apk. The apk has the blue icon in it already and hasn't had the green one for a while. It's not added during the installer, which is why there is little chance it's green from anything in Ultima.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
not a big deal. As I stated before I extracted the blue messaging apk (that proves your umpteen times saying it was blue in one post :p ) and put in the system/apps. A reboot and all done.:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, because you insisted it was green or it could've been the installer or something... yet it in in the zip, blue, it gets copies onto the phone, blue, and even if you pull it off your phone and look, it's blue. It was blue all along, just something on your phone was showing a green one. Which means you had a green one on there at some point and your phone was showing a cached icon...

I say it many times because you suggested I hadn't changed it!

I did clear data from E-Mail app but I use GMail, so... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
Nah, I did not. However if you interpreted it that way. I was stranged because it was in the change list and therefore there must have been something wrong in my case- that is what I meant. Then I looked at the md5 check sum if something went wrong with the download. Unique case. I may panick. And come here. I get directions. Simple.

Unlike someone who deliberately blames the ROM for something that is actually common for all stock JB Roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, that stuff is only set on boot, so that shouldn't affect it. I have no experience with dual boot, though :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Mine WAS green in 8.0, but in 8.1.1 it's blue as it should. :) But in Nova it's green, cause there is a JB theme of the icons and I couldn't change it "normally". Had to extract SecMms.apk from rom, find the blue icon and change it in Nova. Brrrr))

But in Stock TW it's blue in 8.1.1.

Not a complain, just my expirience. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jay794:
I don't know if it's just me, or whether it's the ROM, or where I live, but ever since installing this ROM, I don't think I've received any texts (maybe I'm just unpopular lol) but I've been texting my friends as usual, and I don't think I've received a reply at all this week. I think it's the ROM, but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Go into the "look and feel" section fo the Nova settings and set the icons to default, not jelly bean :D then it'll be blue as I set... since I have the JB icons anyway it doesn't need to be on the nova one! :D
