So, i used Siyah but its only a little bit better... I dont know a fix... :s
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Well, I'll never get rid of that habit xD.

Anyway, since we're talking about kernels here, which one is a performance based one you recommend? Boeffla has gaming issues and you said you're always switching kernels. Any recommendations?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I don't switch kernels that often. I use Boeffla pretty much exclusively at the moment. AndiP is a dedicated and active dev dedicated to the SGS3.

If you're having issues, I'm sure he might like to know about them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bobik666:
tbh im using Perseus even thoug it wasnt updated for 3 month, and very happy with it, battery life / gaming / performance.

I know boeffla is great as well but I have charging issues with it, so I won't change till I figure it out.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Why do you waste comment space saying +1 when you can just thank him?

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

I had it too and it was good. But the lack of governors made me switch. I like having options. Boeffla has a lot of them. From a power profile to zram and smod tweaks. And a great sound above all. If this new version (2.3) doesn't give my any problems, I'll stick to it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
Kryten, post this article in FP ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Beta dudes, check their e-mail/forum :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Important

I'm also advising EVERYONE right now to backup their EFS.

In v14 there is only one modem available in the installer. The latest modem changes the format of the EFS partition and is incompatible with older modems. If you install the XXEMG4 modem, then try to use an older modem, you will not get a connection to your mobile provider.

The change is ENTIRELY SAFE and I've noticed a marked improvement in data performance since using the new modem.

However, if you do, for whatever reason, want to use an older modem, you must restore your EFS partition to a backup prior to this change. I have one on my PC from months ago as soon as I realised how important such a backup is and UltimaROM backs up the EFS partition for you on each install. You can find it here: /sdcard/EFS_BACKUP/ .

I stress again that this is a safe update, it just means older modems don't work.

In the beta there is only the XXEMG4 modem available. There is a 90% chance I will keep it this way for the release, because I don't want people installing it and then trying another modem, only to come and complain it doesn't work.

Take your EFS backup now and keep it (secret, keep it) safe and label it for the old modem structure.

This is fair warning.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
So i tested the game on android revolution hd.. the same lag on order and chaos . Maybe my phone is broken. I dont know :s
[Galaxy S III Android Development] draxterix:
Kryten2k35 - You can not help the fact that people can not read. This is the truth ...

I understand that the version of the modem is important, but mayby to write a message in the installer?? Maybe it would be a better solution?

If I may ask - do not deprive people of joy with the new version ... Some of us can still read and have the joy of it may be new versions.

Please share v14... for us... for me :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
v14 will definitely be based on XXEMG4 and it will only include the new modem :)

And don't under estimate the ability of people to ignore any text anywhere... I put messages into the installer that simply don't get read :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] draxterix:
You are right ... unfortunately.

I'm not going to convince you, but I'd v14 released even if this will cause problems.

I know this because I am a normal user. I know that each version brings something new and better for us...

Why deprive the joy of people who can read, even if they are in the minority?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Ok, here's my n00b question of the day. Seeing as V14 changes the format of the EFS partition, does that mean that if I install another ROM anytime in the future with an older modem, that I will experience problems?

Or would the problems only occur if trying to install an older modem with this particular release?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes, unless you install a XXEMG4 ROM, or restore your old EFS first.

There is more information here:

Hi Kryten, just one question, V14 will have LockScreen status bar 100% Transparent?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
I see. Thanks. Another quick n00b question. :D For my self, and other who are maybe not sure how to go about it, is this the proper method of making an EFS backup?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-um3XG0NXo
[Galaxy S III Android Development] beardymarrow:
Thanks kryten. I guess that also means if one is dual booting then both roms need to use the same format efs?

"There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No. Only Live Wallpapers show transparency for thes tatusbar while on the lockscreen.

I'm aware of JKay's framework having this feature, but AFAIK, it cheats slightly by setting it to be forced to be a transparent image, which isn't feasible for UltimaROM.

However, if you use a LiveWallpaper that lets you set a static image to be the wallpaper this also works.

Most likely yes :) And you can use the KToolz app to restore the backup taken by UltimaROM on every install.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxniper:
Thank you Kryten, that solves my wishes :) now this rom is perfect for me, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:

Hi, is there a 4x6 of touchwiz aosp thema's available for v13? I can only select 4x5...

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Nothing bad. You just cannot switch to an older modem and must use the XXEMG4 (and any version that comes after, I would assume).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Danielsson:
Where?!?!?!?!:(:(beta?!?!?!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
beta is just for testers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
By switching, do you mean manually flashing? What if just make a whole nandroid backup of the rom and feel like restoring it later? Will that work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lpuboy87:
to backup the EFS...just need to save that 1 EFS backup folder elsewhere right ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vikraminside:
You can take backup galaxytoolbox app amd save .img in pc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No, Nandroid doesn't backup the EFS folder.

Also, I think the EFS backup script on your phones is faulty. If your backup is a couple of bytes and entirely empty... then it's faulty. I'm writing another now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lemanstr:
Waiting v14..^^

i like the ultima style!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Woah, you're right. It's only 87 bytes. How does this happen?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Not sure, if I'm honest. I've just whipped up a script that will back it up on boot every 48 hours that passes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DUBS73P:
anyone else having the problem when headphones are plugged in, the volume is erratic and changes on its own? also seems to load svoice every now and again too?

so i checked jb domination's thread for s3, and i saw Vertemus post showing his broken S3...

Vertemus said he will work with Kryten for jb domination for MG4...

i appreciate your great work, looking forward for v14 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Not XXEMG4, for 4.2.2. The latest Domination will probably work for XXEMG4.

Damn, I missed out on posting on page 1337!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
If i'm correct. Philz recovery has an option to Backup EFS? That's in Custom Backup option. I did make EFS backups from there. They are just fine. But didn't come to that situation yet to try those (Thank God) lol

Also one thing i should ask to you [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] , What if i backup my EFS. & doesn't change the modem till then. & my EFS gets corrupted & i restore that from the Backed up EFS. Will it be fine?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
yep, got that covered :p

When he finalises it and it's out of beta :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sanukk:
Not quite, only half the system (the controller side) can be installed from the market. Read the other links about PDroid (or indeed the info on the controller side from the market) for more info.

~S
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I have no idea what it is but I will look into it when I'm at home :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] macavsk:
how about an option to have stock icons for 4.1? is it complicated to do? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Did someone say they lost root earlier with this? Cause there was just an update for superSU. Root wasn't lost!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
No, no problems. Just updated superSU through Market, open it, updated binaries and all seems fine, mate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
When it updates binaries, does that mean the su file in /bin?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tenacious:
Yes that is the one.

Ups it's in /xbin
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
When first launched - it said "Binaries must be updated - OK/Cancel". After "OK" all is OK. =)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Cool, cause I'll include the /bin/su file and the updated apk in the next update ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Google Search has been updated with a very tasty changelog. ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ickoicko:
Just a question: Is it normal to have RAM as high as 732/833 then suddenly dropping to 670/833? Just noticed it now and I know unused ram = wasted RAM. Just wondering if it's normal for it to be that high. Thanks! Still a great ROM :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yep, perfectly normal :) Sometimes I have ~560MB used, sometimes I have 730MB available.

There's a lot fo "free RAM" tweaks out there but I think they're all pointless. IF it's speedy with 730MB used then why bother with the tweaks?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ickoicko:
Thank you for the quick reply! Still speedy and it flawless! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
If you backup your EFS now, 100% working, then in the future it goes belly up and corrupts you cna use the backup to restore.

You should take a backup NOW, and a backup after XXEMG4 and you should be good :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
ALSO,

In v14 you will be able to change the text colour of the battery icon :D

Remember how if you picked the blue circle icon, the text was white? And now it's blue?

Well, in future, it will be whatever you pick in the settings :D All, with the exception of the "Block" one as the it would probably ruin it :D

I'm in the process of finalising the needed image changes, and then I will see about adding the charging colour too and see if that can change - if not it'll just remain white.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Yes its 25.06mb so i think it is fine & will work in case anything bad happens. Philz recovery does the job @ best, Creating efs backups. Btw Ty! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:

2g toggle fix ?? worked for me

I have found a fix for people who do have 2g network available and are not able to access it, because I was having a problem in accessing 2g network here in India with Ramuh version of Ultimarom. I was able to fix the problem by:

1. First changing Modem i.e. I switched to India specific DDDLJ1 or DDEMB1 both are available in Ultima Rom mods or setup.

2. And the second thing switch the network to auto mode in both network type and in actual network selection.

These two worked for me. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Rajat
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kskbl23:
Good night.

I have a problem with this version ... Do you can help me?

Many many times when I press the buttons to turn on the device, starts the media scanner.

I installed the ROM with full wipe (without formatting SDcard)

Can you help me???

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Let the media scanner run after you have just flashed the phone. Once done will not keep scanning. And did you create incremental backup of your ROM? For example and files with .dup?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kskbl23:
Now all I have a backup of the version 12
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattyyey:
Mine does reduce the volume sometimes when using the 3.5mm jack on max (like plugged into speaker) as it even gives a warning of damaging hearing... I think you can turn it off but dont ask me where :P dm to me, BT audio holds at max...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NuK3DoOM:
I was away for a long time, I haven't installed the v13 yet, but as I have seen it is better to wait v14 =)

The customization power of this ROM is so great! I won't wait a minute to flash the new version!

Thanks for your great work Kryten!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
The customization power of v14 is much bigger than in any previous version. :cool:

God bless Kryten! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Danielsson:
:(we cant wait;(;(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tweetyfiestuky:
For when this v14???? :victory::victory: thanks for your work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] artyfarty:
we don't know. we are workin on some small IMEI problems.

stay tuned!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
One does not simply post about V14 and not expect ETA questions. .......... Bring it soon man. I haven't smelt a new rom in a while.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Would recommend move the backup to your PC/Laptop. It will free up space and stop the media scanner. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
I know it's too late for any type of request for V14, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Are you guys able to add the ability to disable the brightness slider from the dropdown menu in a future release? I have Lux Brightness app installed and having 2 sliders comes off as repetitious. I know 3Minit framework has the option, so I know it's possible. Thanks for the response in advance. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
ER, you can do this anyway in the display settings.

Settings->Display-Notification Panel->Brightness Adjustment
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
GUESS WHO JUST GOT THEIR 7000mAh BATTERY? About to rock out on everything S3. Damn though, thought of a perfect suggestion for V14 this morning but now I forgot. I'll let you know ASAP.

But anyway, music control on the lock screen. I use the Samsung ripple one because of the editable shortcuts (I'd love an AOSP editable one) and when I'm listening to music, the controls aren't displayed on the lock screen. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Can you link me to the battery? I am looking for a good 1 but what to have a slim profile as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Lmao slim profile? This is the biggest battery for the S3, boy. Ain't no slimmin' here. If you want slim, you won't get any extended power.

This one adds bulk, phone is way easier to hold and the only downside is that it gets a little heavy. But that's only one con vs a bunch of pro so I don't really care.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Oh....carry on then. :angel:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Use another lockscreen :P

It only shows on the AOSP lockscreen unfortunately.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
So found a bug. I was sleeping, but my display was on for 8 hours. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PipoXtreme:
guys.. Its a long time ago I was on UltimaRom .. but back now.. Can you maybe tell me which kernel is actually the best for performance and battery life ? I will fly on friday to Ireland for a photo trip for 14 days and need really good battery life ;)

Any suggestions??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MarcelBo:
Sorry i have no idea:D

but how you get this battery-life? :P

i never come over 24 hours:D

I use the newest boeffla and the battery friendly profile...

i get like 18 hours with nearly 3 h on scrren time

and i allready use greenify :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gassity:
Googy Kernel. Simply the best one for SGS3 now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bartiest:
probably extended battery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Hey! I just started getting that too. I woke up and found the display on a lot of times including right now. But I did notice it didn't happen while it was charging, but after it reached 100 and was already full.

Edit: it didn't happen with the stock battery, only after I for my extended one yesterday. From what I can see you're using one too. Which one are you using? I got the zero lemon 7000 mAh.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] reywal:
Go back to stock kernel then use SetCpu. Thats what i always do after trying out the so called "best kernels"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mumu22:
heya .

i just back to this room .

with v13.0

im just wonder which kernel i should use now .

for now instaled with Boafela kernel .

i hope its wil lgive me good battery life xd
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
Happens to me sometimes as well. But does not stay on for long. I have a extended battery as well. I use GOLD 3250mah.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mumu22:
reinstaled agaian . now should be fine .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davidsonking:
I have the stock battery :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Then it's something with extended batteries.

BTW kryten, AOSP lock screen isn't compatible with 240DPI :'( the ring is to the right of the screen instead of the middle.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
[MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] why not include older modems too with v14 for those who do not want to use XXEMG4 modem. As it will save time in restoring the EFS and installing another modem after flashing v14. If it is possible.:angel:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
That will be the plan, yes :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mikailmohammed:
So... let me get this. We can't flash older roms with older modems if we upgrade to MG4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Yes. As XXEMG4 modem changes the format of the EFS partition and will not work with older modems. But not sure about the ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Afaik. You can. But cannot use the modem older than MG4. But i think the better option is to stay away from MG4 yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] isimsizkullan:
I backed up with both clockworkmod and TWRP.

If i wont like v14, can i go back to v13 using nandroid backup? Or will i have to restore the efs?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Unless you backed up your EFS folder, in which case there is no problem, since you restore it and use an older modem.

You can also use XXEMG4 with a different modem just fine.

There is no reason to suggest staying away from XXEMG4 is a good idea, to be honest. The firmware is good and the modem seems just fine. It is likely to be the first ina line of new EFS format modems. I.E. They'll all go this way eventually.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] isimsizkullan:
Whatever..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
I know that. i'm using DLIB modem from 4.1.1 & it is alot finer for me. Then why to upgrade the modem to MG4 if 'it is just fine' & There is no hidden magic in it. ++ if MG4 rom can be used with any modem. There is nothing Beneficial to upgrade then IMO. I have seen alot of users crying for their efs loss. Samsung always make things more complicated & crappier. Forgive me anybody who disagree.
