xperia z launcher

sir Kryten2k35... is it possible that you can port a xperia launcher on your rom... i will choose that as my default launcher if you will include it on aroma... hehehe :)

v14
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
True, the keyboard is already there. Too bad it's not 240DPI compatible though, looks small. But since this is an AOSP themed rom, we won't see that coming............................unless kryten adds a whole xperia makeover option for the rom. BEST. BIRTHDAY GIFT. EVER. :')
[Galaxy S III Android Development] markz03:
+1 for whole xperia make over... plus boefla kernel... ultimate rom sound xperienze... and also... a special gift to SuperAce609... sir.... i think master Kryten2k35 well make it for you and for us... hahaha just a piece of cake? thanks in advanced... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
He's just going to say this is an AOSP themed rom and it's not changing. Like he did before. He'll just say to flash something else.

But the truth is i don't trust any other roms with performance and the stability that this one does. So we'll be forever stuck with AOSP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] markz03:
yes... this is true... im using this rom for 2 weeks... and this is the best among the rom that ive used before... i will not named those rom... but why is it that AOSP cannot modified like others? newbie here... sir ACE...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
What do you mean? This AOSP is just a theme. Modified framework from stock rom. But i honestly can't go into details since that's something I'd rather Kryten answers. It might be possible. But since all the settings and tweaks are meant to run like this, it'd be hard to alter the whole thing. It'd be like making two roms. It's possible, but i think it'd be a little hard.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] markz03:
ah okay sir... AOSP is based on stock firmware? im almost 1 month here in xda... i dont have any idea about rom construction... im just a fan... )
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oooohhhh i see. Then damn. You have a lot to learn. AOSP is pure android. This rom is themed as pure android otherwise it'd just look like Samsung's touch wiz.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
AOSP will always be faster and more stable. Ever used a nexus device?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
No i haven't. But it's just a theme. Or is it the theme that makes it lightweight?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] markz03:
hahaha... then you should be my instructor... sir ACE...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
That Xperia theme is tied into the JKay framework, which is a bit of work making it non-JKay, then there's making sure it works with Ultima...each release.

I, personally, prefer AOSP to Samsung, but I also like the camera to work properly, hence this ROM :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shady225:
i just use ultima rom because on AOSP the camera is not really working.

1 day to v14 isn't it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It's also the day Breaking Bad airs :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
WOOOOOOOOOO Breaking Bad!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Breaking bad??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
good tv show....guess you dont watch :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Early release for you :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
A day after my birthday, but I can still take it. But about the EFS thing you talked about, since this switches it, can I make a nandroid and restore it along with the backup? Or will that be forever gone. I mean the M4 thing modem item object you guys were talking about.

I can't find V14 in the website.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Try now. I had to clear the cache..oops.

EDIT:

Also, there's some info and a download for the EFS in the post on the website. Read it well. It's not a hard process.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ashutoshsinghy2k:
M from India and Shiva here is known as GOD of Hindus. The v14 is named on that or m wrong

But, you could say it's a godly ROM as well ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Shiva is an Esper from FFXII. Just like the other rom names.

Edit: A ship in FFXXII's case. Esper in other FF's.

Kryten, my efs is now 33.19K with today's date on it. Shouldn't it be bigger?

>Added Google Play Edition Camera/Gallery.

Does work completely? Or is it like the the Nexus camera where something didn't work.

Also, I think you should edit the .zip- extension of the Ultimate version. Some people might not figure out that you just have to remove the "-" from the .zip to make it work and might delete the whole 1.4GB download saying it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Mine are all 60kb, but it should be absolutely fine.

And the camera seems slightly mroe stable than the N4 camera, which is why I replaced it, plus it's new. I use the AndroidGX Lite camera myself anyway.

Also, for everyone else:

The call log issue with the AOSP Contacts is FIXED as far as I can tell. It correctly keeps logs form all contacts, known and unknown. The trade off is you MUST have the AOSP Phone apk, which lacks call recording (but is quicker and smaller so less RAM intensive. Also prettier, imho). If you don't use call recording at all, then it's a good trade off.

You can test it for yourself and easily switch back with the mods files:

http://www.ultimarom.com/downloads/mods/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kishanthj:
Not working for me. I just flashed the contacts file found in v14 folder and still have the the issue of not showing unknown contacts numbers. Also noticed when I tried to edit a contact (add event), contacts crashed. Happened three consecutive times I tried. Should I do something else after flashing?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
How did you flash? Wipe, full wipe?

I just added a random contact now. It did it fine. I know adding events makes it crash, though. Everything else is ok.

If you didn't full wipe try deleting:

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts

/data/data/com.android.contacts

/data/data/com.android.phone

Reboot after

I can guarantee it keeps call logs for unknown numbers. A few days ago I tested by deleting my google account. Calling myself form my house phone and my GF's phone., alternating. Each call was logged correctly.

Also, you're on v14, right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Thanks kryten for v14..one question :all future version of android (4.1/4.2) will change the format of efs like this last version ? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
who knows???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well, installing ANY modem changes the EFS slightly to reflect the installed modem. But XXEMG4 changed it quite dramatically. Only Samsung knows if they will do it again in the future.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kishanthj:
As I'm at work rite now, I couldn't download the entire v14. Therefore as I said earlier, took the file from v14 folder from your site and flashed it.

I'll try to flash v14 when I get back home in a few days and see if that fixes the issue.

i am on v13 and want to update to v14

when i try to install the zip it says "error flashing zip"

i already tried a full wipe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
check MD5 of your download... maybe the download is not correct.

if MD5 is not the same, re-download the zip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Well, they're clearly in the folder labelled "v14.0"... But deleting those files should/could help.

Your download is broken. Check the MD5 and make sure it matches.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok krishanthj,

I just checked the uploaded file. I'd made a mistake - it didn't delete a file properly.

I've just reuploaded it with some changes.

You can flash it again or

Delete the above folders as mentioned, but also delete /system/app/SecContactsProvider.apk

I'd recommend just redownloading and flashing the file again...Can you try for me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kishanthj:
OMG... Had the worst experience rite now. Had to flash my last backup. Attached Img is what error Msg I kept on getting. The Msg kept on popping up every 5-10 sec. So I don't think the new file is working. It made it worst.

Hopefully you can find the issue.

That's Google Play Services, usually.

You will probably need to wait until you install v14. It works, 100%, guaranteed because I've tested it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
So finally it is here. Will download now and test fully.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Teoror:
Has anyone managed to install the new version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Sorry but i want to be sure :if i install v14 without mg4 modem, i will not have any problems with imei format?

In every case i made a backup with efs pro and with your file on ultima site (p. S:if i need, how can i restore this backup?)

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bartiest:
not me, tried 3 versions (ultimate and standard from two sources).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Teoror:
Same here.. cant get pass the installation script. Just keeps getting "installation aborted" could it be the file uploaded is corrupt? cause i have downloaded from both paths now both versions without success.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] I noticed that the zip file from xdafileserver ends in ".zip-" if I rename the file to .zip I cannot access the archive on a pc. Possibly why people are having trouble installing.

However the romhunt link ends in ".zip" but is still downloading with 19 minutes remaining.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Hmm, could be why. I'll reupload it there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bartiest:
also noticed name of the zipfile (for Ultimate) of one source (i think it was romhut) is 5207be82d449e.zip instead of in.UltimaRom_V14.0-....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Since you probably have guest the uploads on server01 went wrong. I've deleted them and don't try to flash them :) [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] reupload them m8 :) it should work again :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
That's normal as ROMHut obfuscates the names.

Oh, you're like a ninja! I wondered what happened :D

Are they all good here: http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Samsung/Galaxy+S+III/CUSTOM+ROMS/UltimaROM

?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Nopes

that's a sync of server01, i'll remove them also, just upload to server01 and it will sync the good ones to the mains erver
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok, cool.

BTW, the upload's shouldn't take long. I'm on the same host as you, same datacentre... the last transfers went at 100MB/s ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Mmmm could you check your MD5 of the ultimate, because i'm getting a diffferent one that you've posted on the website. I'm getting:

79807D9CDA6E1670C26EF665955FF822 for ultimate

and

082F762213D62CD3552758245C73F3A8 for standard

And there not corrupted I can open both of them :) so probably something went wrong with the checks :) the uploads went fine this time :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Done. Files reuploaded at XDAFileserver.nl
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
Shall we download now?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
89f60c532ea2a16f61a540266eb02c1f - Ultimate

2ca7692aa7375819a04edfa113746895 - Standard

That's running

echo -n FILENAME.zip | md5sum

via the CLI...

Also, just realised I've got them the wrong way around on the website...

EDIT:

ROMHut reads the same md5 as what you have.

Weird!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah you should be fine :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Teoror:
Downloaded the new files and still gets "installation aborted" when trying both versions :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Mmmm dont know what's going on to be honest, the checksums are indeed the same as on romhut.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Any hint on the message? a recovery log or anything?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] donteo:
+1 What is going on :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
God damn...

The aroma and META-INF folders are missing from the zips. How the hell did that happen?!

EDIT:

What a disaster :(

I'm reuploading the missing files now. Shouldn't take too long to get this fixed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pendroz:
Download XDA fileserv " Standart release "

md5 : 082F762213D62CD3552758245C73F3A8

unzip rom meta inf folder not including
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Okay that's weird, but that would explain the difference in md5. did you install a virusscanner on your build machine?

I've deleted the files, because a lot of people were downloading them :) it will create a mess.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, nothing like that. I just 7zip to pack them up. I did the exact same thing days earlier and the beta testers had no issues with them. It appears to have just omitted the META-INF folder.

If this were a week ago before I got this new server I'd be going nuts right now. But fortunately it's an easy fix!

EDIT:

I don't think it explains the difference in MD5, though, because the file I used for MD5 is the one that had stuff missing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Okay

got the files still on the main server but moved to a different location and removed them from server01 :) let me know what is going to change and i'll stay awake for a bit longer haha

about the md5, a different md5 doesnt mean it won't flash tho :) those missing files on the other hand will.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah those files are a deal breaker :D

I've uploaded one set. When the other has finished I'll create the zips.

I just wonder why the command I run gave a different MD5 to the one both XDAFS and ROMHut got? Maybe it'll be the same this time around.

ETA about 10 minutes, if that. I'll shift to you first since it's very, very local (my droplet is on ams1)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Okay 10min is fine :) and this one is on ams1 too indeed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
This helps :D

Thank you cusoon. That explains the MD5 discrepancy!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
A that explains it indeed :) thanks cusoon for the information! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok, just uploaded the "Standard" one to XDA

MD5...

c4147e337baef58d31c970ee43d3fb8f
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Okay still getting a different md5checksum mine is: E3D1376CE90E4860288588E3AF6864B6

But i've checked the zip and it contains both dirs. So it should be fine to test :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I changed the command:

md5sum FILENAME.zip

Now gives me the correct:

e3d1376ce90e4860288588e3af6864b6

All is well!!

EDIT:

Ultimate is up:

164e62be74d8dc801abf0c8659987ec4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bartiest:
just downloaded standard, and also get E3D1376CE90E4860288588E3AF6864B6 as md5.

Update: Hurrah! Installation in progress :).

Thanks Kryten2k35 and korumera for the swift actions to solve the small issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Okay great :) that solves it :) the ultimate version will be uploaded in a jiffy and then all is well indeed ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Safe to download now then?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Teoror:
Installation went ok on standard.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Korumera:
Yes it's safe to download :) checked it on both servers, there all the same.

Time to hit the sack, enjoy your new rom ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Thank you for your swift assistance, Korumera!

It should be safe to download on XDAFileServer and I am in the process of sorting out ROMHut now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Nice. Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
OTA is up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chaoxe:
Kryten, the change log makes this update seem amazing. Was wondering though, if I'm on v13, do I need to wipe or just run the installer without wiping? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kippermois:
i have a question...

in all of ultima versions

applications like WAZE or FunRun just doesnt work for me...

the first screen is going up and when its loading the application its just closing it down.

no error no fc no nothing, just closed.

what can be the solution?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
This is the culmination of almost 2 months work :)

You could try:

Uninstalling any system app updates (Play Store, Dropbox, etc) then installing with a cache, dalvik and system wipe (leaving data in tact).

I installed this way on my GF's phone and it was fine. I just had to go through any apps that had updates and uninstall those updates (again, like Google Play stuff)

Search this thread. I installed and ran Funrun just fine. It's not UltimaROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pendroz:
Great work mate :good:

Wonderfull Sec settings design :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
For me, in v12 fun run didn't work, v13 all fixed and working, don't know what the issue was.

And yey finally!!!!!!!! :D

Downloading.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
Unfortunately,the process com.android.phone has stopped..How can i fix this..?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Clear the data for the phone app.... or flash with a data wipe. It's always the most hassle free way.

You can try:

http://downloads.ultimarom.com/rom/files/mods/?dir=v14.0

Flashing the Contacts_Phone package as well. But you may need to remove your Google account and readd it after.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
i had also messasing error..should i install aosp messasing and contacts?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] moffa89:
I have problems with wifi symbol in status bar sometimes it disappears..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Did you wipe system and data?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
Yes..my imei gone..im installing another emg4 rom..i will solve my problems soon ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Downloading from the playstore is really slow. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
The IMEI will only "Go" if you installed XXEMG4, then tried to use an older modem. If you installed UltimaROM + XXEMG4 modem it will be fine... There is ample warning about this on the website, in the installer and on XDA.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
This has nothing to do with the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
i know but i was on mf6 rom..i installed v14 than imei gone..i think somethings didnt change with v14..i installed another mg4 rom than imei back..im installing v14 now..i think problem solved..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] johnnyspritz:
I have the same problem (I flashed the stock messaging and phone apps), and reflashed three times, wiped data, caches and formatted system manually, then chose the option to do so in AROMA as well. The phone can hardly respond to a simple swipe because of the app crashes.

EDIT: Apparently, there's also no network signal and Settings crashes when I open up APN settings. Also, I can't flash another modem, which I thought would fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Ok,

Some testers had issues with this. They reported that the stock kernel may have had something to do with it. I couldn't confirm this as I had no problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
ohohoho kryten, I just found an interesting bug. When I enabled call blocking in V13, and then tapped an allowed number, the settings crashed and it didn't work. Is it the same in V14? From what I can tell from the other comments I'll have to download the whole thing again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] johnnyspritz:
It's not the stock kernel, I flashed Siyah every time I reflashed. I think it might be something to do with the modem because I couldn't flash a new one after I had flashed this ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I can confirm that crash. I'm using the AOSP settings, though. That may have something to do with it.

EDIT:

Workaround could be to put anyone you want to block into "favourites" That may work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Any suggestions? I just downloaded some apps with V13 fast and now on v14 it is slow. If you come across anything let us know.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
^ whatever it is it's nothing to do with v14. Sorry, no ideas. Mine downloads just as it ever did.

Also, it appears you need AOSP MMS, Contacts and Phone together to make it work... Clearly the beta guys use this combination!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NOZX:
Must be because I flashed a new modem, new kernel, and still force closes phone and messaging. Pity, I was really looking forward to this too. But i dont like the aosp stuff
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yeah for some stupid reason the non-AOSP stuff is crashing left and right. Trying to figure out why.

FFS this release has been a disaster.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NOZX:
Haha don't be too hard on yourself man, you do good work. If it mean anything everything else was seamless ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JUGGERNAULT:
Sorry for the dumb question, but how i retore a efs backup?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
http://bit.ly/YIrurS
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
So far everything is very smooth and good.

Problems are I can't change apn settings. That's it for me. I am using all aosp stuff as well.

---------- Post added at 03:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

This does not work. Any other way? I can't use my data unless i go in there to set my APN.
