^ There's really no point in changing the CSC to be honest, it doesn't give any advantage over others. AFAIK, it's the stock Samsung stuff that gets installed, not, for example, Three UK have their app and iPlayer installed, Orange have theirs installed. And, there's a lot of international people using the ROM so catering to just one would be harsh :p

A little bug: semitransparency is not working when using Nova launcher (haven't tried with Apex or similar). Although it does when using TW.

I'm using 50% transparent status bar and nova is working fine with semi transparency and even if it wasn't that would be something to report to tesla not me!

The patch doesn't affect Google apps!

An option could be to have multiple mms apk to select from in aroma. Could have a stock/medium/heavy option which support different resolutions until user feedback tells which is supported by all. Just a thought..

It probably wouldn't need to be tweaked much, other phones seem to have better quality and are still send able by the network. My old desire hd sent at a size that was at least crisp and clear when viewing and zooming in on the phone, not sure why it shrinks so much on the s3... even on CM it shrinks when on other phones it wouldn't as much. That goes the same fore the iPhone and various other devices.

I don't know, im not the dev. i just thought it would be something good to bring to the rom.

I do know that foxhound ICS had solved the mms issue on his mms app, there are also a few other mms apks that i have come across that have also addressed the issue. there has to be an optimum resolution

Hello Kryten2k35,

Thank you for your support.

I'm not sure about flash your dev. rom, I would like to check first this with you:

I have flashed once my I9300 before, and I did experience the issue with the broadband and fixed with the ARIZAJB:(v2) patch, due after installing the rom I have no signal on my network, Ariza fixed this.

Now, I want to install 4.1.2, my actual rom is JR003CI9300UBDLJ1 CSC I9300UV0DLI4 CP: ARIZAJB AP: I9300UBDLJ1

I do wan't to screw my phone again but how can I know if your rom will work with my local operator (CLARO ARGENTINA).

The cell is international unlocked from the origin. Not sure what version of CMW.

What do I have to check to flash? And how I can backup all the information (APPS / SMS / CALLS )

Thank you

*update* I put my SIM in my Nexus 4 this morning and sent a couple test messages to my gf's iPhone5. When I replied. I got non stop messages pouring in from last 3 days. (Ugh..) So then I put the sim back in the S3 and it seems to have worked. SMS's are coming in like they should, oh and they look oh so sweet with AOSP MMS. Flashing patch and choosing AOSP (from stock SMS) and then deleting SecMMS did the trick! :)

Re: [ROM][10th Jan] - UltimaROM v8.1.1 Ifrit - [XXELLA][AROMA][1226MB|743MB|426MB]

Just download the patch and then flash it in recovery like you did the rom. Don't do any wipes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Hey leeznon, how was it fixed? You did something? As per my phone it is mediascanner wakelock and due to that my phone running at 100% most of the time and I had to lower the max CPU rate to 800Mhz.

I will post betterbatterystats soon. And regarding the patch if there were fix for multiple mods and during the installation if we miss anyone of them and try to apply it again then we get the message v8.1 not installed. If possible we can add the main file version as well as the patch version to overcome this situation. I guess.

Message app FC afeter upgrade

After i installed the patch, my message application didn't work anymore

it opens and then just closes itself.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Glad you got it working :) Bit weird but that's tech for you!

It's ok :)

You download the patch via OTA (or the website link here: http://alpha-techs.co.uk/files/roms/ultima/?dir=Patches).

If you go OTA, it will prompt/ask you if you want to reboot to recovery, say yes.

Navigate to "flash from sdcard" and find the "UltimaROM" folder and then the patch

The patch will start. The aroma installer will ask you some questions and show you the warning (about backing up SMS messages if you want to keep them) and then you can hit install, which will take a second or two, then reboot. You're all good :)

There were two fixes, one for the AOSP MMS, which you should only install, really, if you already had it and then the mediascanner fix which was compulsory and installs whether or not you do the AOSP MMS one :)

Sounds like you had the stock MMS before? You should delete "/system/app/SecMms.apk" and reboot :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Theshawty:
Waat? If I had a Nexus 4, I wouldn't use my S3 a second more :P

[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Re: [ROM][10th Jan] - UltimaROM v8.1.1 Ifrit - [XXELLA][AROMA][1226MB|743MB|426MB]

Did you have AOSP messaging? You need to delete the old stock messaging if your using AOSP. If not don't select yes in the patch :p I got FC's when I first booted but after deleting SecMMS from /system/app it works perfectly. (Had stock SMS but chose yes on patch and moved to AOSP MMS)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Must be you were using Stock MMS and installed the patch for AOSP MMS. :)

You need to install AOSP MMS for this patch. Check under OTA section for MMS mod.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] fknshwow:
With the settings:

<int name="maxImageHeight">3264</int>
<int name="maxImageWidth">2448</int>

they set message size to:

<int name="maxMessageSize">307200</int>

so it should look like this

<int name="maxMessageSize">307200</int>
<int name="maxImageHeight">3264</int>
<int name="maxImageWidth">2448</int>

im not sure what max message size is... im not sure if its the file size or something more along the lines of a character limit

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

if it is file size, then it makes sense why its smaller than the one your using now... cause apparently its a resolution issue... and if the reso is correct the pic will be of quality.. and it can have the quality withought exceeding a small size. if that makes sense... so the size is supported by the carrier i suppose is what im trying to get at. let me know if i make no sense.. i can try to explain it again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] massigiulio:

thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
IT's the max size reported by carriers, I think. There was a guy in the thread complaining about it because he couldn't send MMS's with the AOSP one but could with the stock sammy one.

I'll check the Samsung one out and see what it's set to there, if anything.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishwarrior:
Re: [ROM][10th Jan] - UltimaROM v8.1.1 Ifrit - [XXELLA][AROMA][1226MB|743MB|426MB]

@fknshwow

Some carriers have restrictions on the size of the mms. So, high quality pics can exceed that limit. In that case, the resolution of the pic would have to be reduced.

@Kryten2k35

The AOSP messaging app works brilliantly. Thanks!

This is the best existing rom for the Galaxy S3 i9300 and that should mean something coming from the biggest rom slut there is. ^^

Re: [ROM][10th Jan] - UltimaROM v8.1.1 Ifrit - [XXELLA][AROMA][1226MB|743MB|426MB]

You'll have to go to the root folder. Then open root/system/apps/

There you will have to delete secmms.apk

Restart the phone and you'll have the AOSP mms app in your app drawer.

Restore your sms and you are good to go.

When tried to upload the screenshot from the phone there are no images displayed in gallery. But able to see them through file manager.

Did try that. It was displaying my walls and few pics and the data size was approx 2G shown under media properties through application manager. Cleared it and the gallery was cleared. But it is not populating my files after the reboot and my phone runs @1.4G.

I turned off my phone for 5 mins and kept it aside after turning it on for almost 50 mins. Battery percentage was 43% and it went down to 17%.

If you're on Siyah (just a guess) then don't use 1.8.9. I had it installed and had lag and a random reboot, which resulted in a loop. My phone also refused to wake from lock which scared the crap out of me. I'm on 1.8.7 right now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Theshawty:
Really? I've rolled 1.8.9 since it was out and never experienced lags (out of the ordinary) or random reboots (none that I know of though) and certainly no lock ups requires a battery pull/reboot. Maybe your nand is showing its SDS bug?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes and no. Yes, I could, but no I really don't fancy it as it means making 16 android.policy.jar files to do this. You can install S-Voice and disable the click, or just not expect the home button to do anything other than take you to the home screen...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fknshwow:
the max size would be a file size that cant be exceeded, the phone would do all the conversions. You can have a larger resolution and not exceed that file size, for example..... the stock sammy mms app will compress an 8MP picture down to the size of around 100kb, when its set to 300kb max size..... 100kb is pretty small for a pic that big.. what im saying, if you leave the filesize small as it should be, and just adjust the resolution higher, the phone should in theory convert the file to around 200-250kb. you can have a higher resolution without it being to big in size, at the moment the reso is way to small. it would be nice to push that size up to around 250

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

sorry for the slow reply, i fell asleep :S

and thats why sammy pictures are unreadable.. if you send a screenshot of speedtest.net to your self with the sammy one, you cant read it at all... on your aosp mms it is readable, but still distorted. i dont think max message size will need to be adjusted, just the resolution

the max size that i found was the same, just the resolution has changed.

<int name="maxMessageSize">307200</int>
<int name="maxImageHeight">3264</int>

I have to say this Rom is fantastic. I use to flash Rom every other day and I tried them all. But since I flashed this Rom I have absolutely no need or desire to flash another one. Everything is perfect. I'm using it since 3 weeks now and no FC at all. Combine with Siyah kernel and Nova launcher it is fast, energy efficient and beautiful. I would have much more to say but I will just say... Hands down THE VERY BEST ROM for SGS3.

When I try to send pic msg I keep getting error saying com.android.mms stopped working.

How can I fix?
