GitHub - Experimental build

I've tried to install experimental build several times without any success. Via Git shell typed the comand before cloning, cloned from github, run build.bat and flashed newly created zip. After the flashing phone finished in samsung logo and afterwards in TWRP :eek:

Any idea, what is wrong?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No because I'm not an author of build.bat :). Also I don't know Ultima's Git and if it even boots properly, as I didn't test it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] treb88:
I tried it now...downloaded from github...extract it and zip it again...and working fine...maybe you included again the folder of "expiremental"..don't include it just the inside file, add it to archive and zip it...just finished flashing...just wondrin' since v16 and even v17(expiremental-testing it now) smart stay not working...not turning off the screen when i am not watching..hmmm..so far v17 expiremental working fine...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxniper:
till now all the things i have tested are ok, i have done a fresh flash and the FC of phone has gone

Profile Manager?

Hi, only one day and I love this ROM!!!

I miss only one thing: a profile manager like CM... have you got a suggestion?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
OK i tried the adflash update thing and with

adflash 1s extsd

i got this

but with

adflash 1e git extsd

as suggested i got this
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
adflash has been updated on github, but not on your phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Type direct instead of git
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rahulsethi:
Didn't boot

v16 didn't boot for me whichever the kernel , i m stuck at bootanimation .... tried reflashing several times.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
that gave me the same result as the first screen, and i just have made new build (like 30 minutes ago from the time this post is posted) and flashed and tried the command with the "git" again with them same result as the second screen
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
If you synced the repo 30 minutes ago, you'd have the new code.

I'll be posting a link of the experimental tonight, as an open beta of v17

Known issues are going to be the crackling audio. I can't, for the life in me, figure out what's going on there.

Blocking mode still won't work with google contacts

The user info button in quick settings won't work in samsung contacts (will still show your display picture, but tapping it won't open contacts)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
yeah i have build it after the commit when you changed the changelog

v17 Beta torrent

Try this out for me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pricey2009:
Tryed the beta out.. I have flashed 3 times in total, everything seems to work its just my home button doesn't work anymore.. I have full wiped each time but no joy.. Will try again 2moro, maybe its the kernels I've been picking or something. (Tried stock and boeffla so far)

Thanks for the hard work, I like this ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Eh, homebuttons not really need changed at all. Wroks ok on my partners phone and my own.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pricey2009:
Seems to be OK now.. Very strange. I will give testing throughout today and report back tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
i think it is failing here

debian "cmd" "cd $AD/GitHub && adgithub $VERSION"

because the adgithub is supposed to echo something but he doesn't

i am not expert but there seams to be space that is not supposed to be there(after the $mnt)

chroot $mnt /bin/bash<<EOF
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
-> FC on messaging app still exists.. (Turning off motion: "turn over to mute/pause" solves the problem)

-> NO LIGHT EFFECT ??? (the option is missing,..only Ripple effect, and even if i select that, i have that ugly ring..)

-> Also flashed samsung sounds and i still got that Star Wars like sounds..

Forgot to mention V.17

EDIT : Cannot rename the device in Bluetooth menu .. (Still present)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I haven't removed any ability to rename device in bluetooth, please check it exists in stock.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It works fine for me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Have you done something with the Light effect?? I mean is not there anymore..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
i changed

chroot $mnt /bin/bash<<EOF

in the debian file in pocketdebian folder and in system folder to

chroot $mnt /system/bin/bash<<EOF

since there is no /bin/bash, then tried again and it executed the adgithub but it get stuck on else branch of the if on git command that there is none i dont think there is big chance of reflashing because the last commit was only aroma config change but i can reflash and try again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Volpe92:
In the final v17 you can add the blur effect?

With Gravitybox [JB] you can .. but v16 did not appear ....

Please ask you if you can implement

thanks :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You're not supposed to execute the adgithub binary. You execute adflash, which starts a pocket debian version, which does include bash.

Like so:

adflash 1e git intsd

That will download the repo to your phone, and create a zip. You don't need to execute anything other than that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
i know i do this all the time, i am not executing the adgithub on my own and i use extsd
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pricey2009:
Been using beta v17 all day and no issues.. Slightly better battery life than v16 and seems smoother overall.

Using WiFi uses a lot of battery very quickly.. Samsung to blame on that I guess.

Good job Kryten, thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Volpe92:
I'm using v17 and goes very well look forward to v17 final with blur effect :good:

But in Aroma, I used Google experience launcher and it did not change the settings icon in kitikat ... how can I put the settings icon kitkat? (this is a smallness) :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mousman:
I also like v17 a lot, much better then v16, huge progress with the updates too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Ok i'm back to v.16.. As i said i cannot change the name of the device in bluetooth.. And also i like light effect, which as i mentioned above it's not present anymore in v.17.. Is it just me?? Do the rest of have light effect on v.17 and can you change your bluetooth name? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
To change your device name, Samsung moved this to "Settings->About Device"

And the light effect thing is known. I can fix this at some point. For a quick work around, flick to English language, set light effect, then set back to your native tongue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DeeSaR:
wich modem will i have to use?

Hi,

i used UltimaROM v15 with boeffla kernel v3.1 and modem CEEMG2 (i flashed tohether with UltimaROM v15).

Now i tried to flash UltimaROM v16 but i was not able to get wifi to work (so i cant end the setup wizard, because of the lack to skip wifi option).

I cant register to the vodafone network too.

So i had to restore my nandroid backup with UltimaROM v15. Now everything works again.

My Question is, is this Rom incompatible with my modem CEEMG2? And which modem will i have to use to have working wifi and GSM with v16?

CEEMG2, XXEMG4, or XXUGMK6? I live in Germany and the CEEMG2 Modem worked well for me.

Thank You for your help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
v17 BETA?? GIGGLES!!:victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Volpe92:
Someone is able, in v17, create a zip to flash, to change the image settings icon from:

JB style> KK style :confused:

I have the launcher, google experience

Thx and excuse the disturbance :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.pullesson.android.perkasfilestashfree

Download this app.

Select samsung s3.

Then modem(cwm)

Then 4.1.2

Find the modem CEEMG2 and download it to your phone. It's saved in your internal sd card inside a folder called "perkasfilestash"

Try installing the rom and flashing that over the top of it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxniper:
You can do it with XthemeEngine exposed and the theme KitKat xtheme, it works great
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rsd2000:
I am about to try this rom.

the Mods download page seems to be down.

Can anyone confirm/comment?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aris_p:
During the weekend I tried a couple of other ROMs. Comparing to this ROM, IMHO, this is by far the smoothest/fastest and with better battery life.

It has the best balance between speed (KitKat ROMs) and battery consumption(stock ROMs)

I returned back by flashing exper.v17

Kudos to the developer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] c_tho:
been playing with v17 for a day or so and have been unable to generate a single FC. all the issues i had on v16 are fixed INCLUDING the glitchy call audio thing. will try to do some more rigorous testing today and provide some feedback.

Request for implementing Pocket Debian...

Hey Kryten, I was wondering if you had any plans on implementing Pocket Debian into future builds, such as used in Archi's builds (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43359593&postcount=4)?

Having the option to run a fully functional linux environment (I do understand android is linux based), seems like it could create so many more uses for the phone and add extra functionality. I'm going to try to get it running on my phone, but thought I'd make a request, because I feel other users may enjoy this option as well. Thanks for all of your hard work and just wanted to say that I am loving v16 right now! BTW, a belated congrats to you on becoming a father!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
AFAIK Kryten already implemented my Pocket Debian into latest experimental. However it's not up-to-date :D.

I'm still having fun with it :p.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah in v17, the beta I posted some posts back (I'll make it the page announcement) there is pocket debian.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Check my github from time to time Kryten. For example recently I added VNC functionality to pocket debian :).

Just a quick feedback as I installed v17 beta yesterday. I may not have used it extensively as I had not much time but had no FC and none of the other problems I had with v16. Plus it's way smoother, faster and battery friendly, so not much to say except

Awesome work Kryten, thanks a lot!

[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION]

After switching the GravityBox setting "disable/enable charging-LED" to off,rebooted, and then to enable the LED works now, sorry.

(Hi Kyrten, ive discovered a small bug in v17 beta, the charging led is not working anymore wether red for charging nor green for full. The GravityBox setting "disable/enable charging-LED" does not work.)

Everything else works like a charm! Great work! Thank you very mouch.

I had a Little trouble to select the right modem, every time i fashed v16 or v17beta i had no wifi or gsm (no network) during SetupWizard and so i cant skip the wifi Setup to end the wizard (wifi had signal but always authentication error, even unsecured Access didnt work) i tried almost every efs2 modem. The only modem that worked was the emg4 modem, i had to Flash directly after the Rom Flash, before first startup! Surprisingly after setupwizard i was able to flash any modem again and every modem works now.

Process com.android.phone crashing

At first I want to thank you, Kryten and the rest of the team, for an amazing ROM! I've been using as my daily driver for quite some time now.

I've been having problems with com.android.phone crashing now and then, with out any apparent (to me) reason. When it crashes I lose connection to my mobile network. It's quite annoying when it happens during a call.

I've attached a logcat from the last time.

Again, thank you for making my S3 that much better!

I'm sorry if I diminished your ability, that was not my intention, I thought I'd seen another user with "UltimaROM developer" in his/her signature.

Thank YOU for your work!

I'm using the beta, I realize I wasn't so clear about what I'm using.

I wiped everything (except extSd) before flashing, both in TWRP and the installer.

I'm using the 5.1 Boeffla kernel (not the unofficial one) and the MK6 modem.

I had the same problem with v16, and when creating a build from github, feb 5:th.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's more flattering than offensive :P

And that log is too short. There is no crash data inside it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
OH NO!!!

I backed up my apps, my home screen, downloaded your latest gapps to ext sd. put my preferred launcher on ext sd. Ready to wipe everything for the beta (was going to do internal SD too)

My flaming ext sd card has just flaming died. Phone won't recognise it, pc wont recognise it.

Nothing to do with ultima just needed to vent a bit. I suppose it's better it went now rather than halfway through flashing!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pensador:
Sorry mate!that s#cks!

Last time I flashed I wiped my whole int. Sd card accidently....byebye backup.

It is? Okay, I tried to keep it short so it would be easy for you to search it. I thought the lines around 80-90 where the services and processes died would do it, obviously I was wrong.

I haven't figured out how to reproduce the error so I just leave the logcat running until the error appears. I've been having the logger running for a couple of hours now, but the error hasn't occurred again, I'll get back to you when it does.
