Just flash the boeffa kernal now in recovery, why wait for v13 ?

sent from the moon
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Because I don't like waiting for the kernel to "settle in" and having battery drains until then. So I'll just flash it with the rom. I'm not in a hurry either way. I'm good as it is, but I just like having options.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Latest beta7 is amazing, loving the new touch2wake feature too. Thanks!

First of all thanks for helping me. Next time I will try wiping as you described. One more question. I've read a lot about how to install but there are so many posts.... what do you recommend to wipe IN Aroma. Suoer, Normal or no wioe?

Thanks again:):thumbup
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bazz7777777:
Haha I wish I had your patience, I have to have it now, or yesterday if possible :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
That "Settling in" is simply the Mediascanner scanning and documenting your device... and only happens after a new install of the ROM. You can switch kernels whenever you like.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bjarte:
Well, I did that, and softbricked the phone.. Wooptidoo :P *facepalm*

Edit: think I might have done something with the modem or kernel when I reinstalled.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Doh!

Well, if it's any consolation, you can disable the battery icon in the next update.. without running the installer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bjarte:
Well, if only I knew that before I f*ed up my perfect installation.. :P

Edit: guess I got it up and running again after yet another attempt at the installer..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deanr1977:
Any chance you can add a color changing option to the incoming notifications.... like in 3mint framework? I know i already asked but thought id remind you cause this would be so cool? I want ics blue notification icons without modded all the framework? Would be great to see this in the next rom version? Please Kryten.... pretty please :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Kryten found out that calling a number that it's not saved and then calling a different one.. The numbers are not shown corectly.. Even if i cal 415 for example.. It show me the first number i called.. Or is it just me? (Aosp contacts patched)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
I agree too, if the number isn't on the phone book, it doesn't show up on the logs correctly. Seems like a bug.

It does if the log is clear. It probably prioritises numbers in the contacts list.

Hi

I just give it a try on your ROM. Looks very smooth at the moment. Great work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Draygon:
Please respond to that bug, Kryten...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Barmenchik:
Can somebody explain for me, 1st post we've got UltimaRom v4.0 Alexander, but if I try download torrent ROM name is UltimaRom v4.0 Bahamut! !??

It's the same ROM or different?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m00moo:
Its alphabetical so v3.0 was A, now v4 is B. He just forgot to update it.

Cant get screen capture working. Possible to get it in the power menu instead?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
I got adbd insecure and easy ums. But I cannot get it to work. I go to easy usb mass storage and click on the UMS button which comes out with no external sd path found and after connected to PC it still shows connected as MTP device. AFAIK Busybox is installed with the rom. Can anyone teach me or refer me to a link where can I perform this operation in proper ways?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
There isn't one as far as I know, it's the same as before XXDLID :)

Please learn how to read (if English isn't your first language, you can be excused, though) because I said a page or two back that I wouldn't be here for the next 24 hours.

As far as that bug, I have no idea about it. Have you selected all the stuff for German in the voice search settings? I don't speak a single syllable of German so I can't test.

Try see if there's a 1.8 update for the app? I didn't get change to look if I'm honest :(

Anyway, I'm back, will start doing some stuff now.

How are you guys finding this? Because, honestly, I've had NO end of crap with this since installing it yesterday, but I think my SD card might be causing this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mosec:
Kryten are you going to add jelly bean lockscreen to the future build? AOSP sounds would be great too.

Can you advise how to change lock unlock sounds and replace them with aosp ones. Thanks:)

I will flash right now!

But I already know that this is awesome!

Tks! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
AOSP Sounds YES, Lockscreen, MAYBE, depends if it's stable or not :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ROMs been running peachy for me. Flashed Blacked out Gmail and MGS sound mod and from what I can't tell it didn't break anything.

Kryten, it was mentioned but I didn't see it in the "to do" list- Inverted Google Now to match everything else blacked out :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
And themed Google Talk, if it is possible, please. :rolleyes:

And we're glad you're back, Kryten! Hope you had fun. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Have Google finalised the GMail app? I don't want to theme it and then they go and bloody well do a different version :D

and I did. Went to Manchester to take the GF to see Lacuna Coil and the support band was actually quite amazing (and a super fine singer, too).

Though, I think we discovered that the camera on my SGS3 isn't as good as the camera on her SGS3. I'm going to have to check this out and try all the settings, and maybe even flash the same firmware as her, but I can't say I was best pleased at this. I'll be figuring out how to exchange my phone if this is true!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
So you pleased your GF, now she'll let you "do your computer stuff"?.. :laugh:

Is she on UltimaRom or on Stock? That's strange. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] joanmv:
Hi everyone from Spain,

I've some problems with the torrent download because I'm using a server with different IP from the PC where I got the torrent and then I got "unnregistered error" when triying to download the ROM. Could some one upload it to a new mirror and share de link please?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thekoRngear:
krytek, have you started working on our own Ultima Bootlogo animation? The ones on the Omega are gorgeous. Full screen matched with our theme will be just plain amazing.

Keep the good work up.

I like Lacuna Coil way too much. karmacode is my most fav album and recently I am heavily rotating My Spirit off Drak Adrenaline album. Kristina and their guitar riffs are amazing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ph3nom:
Kryten, V4.1 will be release soon? I think i'm gonna wait on 4.1 since i'm pretty happy with 3.0.

BTW there is a sound when the phone charged to 100%, a music sound, how to dissable this? i can't find this on the settings.

is it too much if i ask that you mod Vertimus theme a lil, just for the arrow part on H sign and on Wifi sign, the sign is showing grey now, and kinda hard to see, Appreciate if you can change the color like the stock one. if it too much of a hassle then, no worry.

Thanks

and Keep up the Great work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Kryten, I tried. It's true, when the logs are empty, it records calls from number not in the phone book. However, if I call someone in my phone book and then call someone that isn't, it duplicates my latest log from a number saved in the Contacts application.

Example - Empty logs.

I call 649499194, now the logs show:

- 649499194

Then I call John, now the logs show:

- John

- 649499194

Then I call again someone else, say for instance 464256445, now the logs show:

- John

- John

- 649499194

Once I clear the logs, it seems to work properly, but after a while it's back with that strange behaviour.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
For me clearing the log isn't working.. I just cleared it and called 1 and it shows me a person from my contacts.. Try it yourself call random digits.. Like 2, 3.. It shows one contact.. But if i call for example mom it shows mom..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
1, 2 , 3 etc are speedials. Try adding more than 2-3 numbers instead.

Anywya, it works as I said, once the log is cleared... please don't make me post screenshots lol. It's obviously a bug... Nothing I can do about it really!

the aosp dialer is wayyy faster than the stupid stock dialer and scrolling is much smoother too.

i have a question about mms.. i have the aosp messaging app installed and today i received an mms (it's like one of the first times ever i got one, so i have no clue), but the app couldn't open it properly. the mms contained a picture (or more than one) and the app seemed to have thought that it was a video, so it tried to play it back as a video and only showed a black screen. any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] piopo:
It's the same for me but I can see the picture but there is the time like if it was a video. I think it was the same with the stock mms.apk so for me it's not a bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Could be an issue with the defaults. Isn't there a "save" button, though to save it smoewhere?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Hey guys, I keep constantly getting only up to 82MB free ram. Is there a ram manager/optimizer or something that actually works? I'm really out of options here. I've stopped all apps I don't use from running with AutoStarts and it basically makes no difference. I've no idea what's consuming so much ram.

Help plox
[Galaxy S III Android Development] c_tho:
this is why i can't bear to read this thread any more
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Then why bother commenting? Kryten said there's a ram issue and I was wondering if there was a workaround for it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
No... He's right. RAM use is NOT an issue. Android will use as much RAM as possible. Task managers are counter productive and waste more battery than they save in resources.

I've really tired of explaining it :(

The RAM issue I have mentioned however is how Samsung apps are huge compared to AOSP apps and thus use more RAM and take longer to load.

Everyone's phone, regardless of ROM will use lots of RAM... It's not an issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
But even if they're disabled (greenify and autostarts) there's still a very large ram consumption that I honestly have no idea where its coming from. I just find it hilarious that out of 1GB ram I only have around 82MB which is literally less than I had on my 276MB galaxy ace that constantly had 90-100mb free on a samsung rom.

But I get it, lol. If there's no work around for it then I guess I can manage.

Thanks and sorry for bringing it back.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
You don't get it, though. The amount of RAM used is not an issue. It's not something to be concerned about or even bother with. It is by design and intentional. We have 1GB of RAM and we're using it. That's waht RAM is for. There is no point having 1GB of RAM and using 300MB. That leaves the other 500MB available doing... nothing.

Please read, and take note:

RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care

There is more too, please read the whole thing :)

If you have issues with multitasking, please use a zram enabled kernel and your set to go. No need to worry about ram anymore.

Sent from I9300 - UltimaROM - Boeffla Kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] talhafarooq87:
But the point is why our phone gets slow when ram is near to full?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
On any system unused RAM is wasted. On my PC, I ahve 12GB. around 4-5GB is used on boot, because that's prefetch on Windows working away. I often run a virtual machine for Linux to run some things I need (I have a dedicated Linux install too, but it's often much quicker to open a VM quickly) which I give 4GB RAM. Using it makes sense. I can get to 500MB left before I run into issues, and that's only because I've turned off paging on my system (since I use an SSD and I don't want paging thrashing it... and I have the RAM so I don't need it).

Probably because your recent apps list is huge and all those things are sitting in RAM, one way or another. Try swiping a few of those away (not killing RAM form the task manager, I might add) and see the problem go away... The perks of multitasking on Android is that they all stay... but you have a responsibility to also close some apps you're not using any more.

I can see the confusion...

"My phone is slow because there is a lot of RAM used"

Actually

"My phone is slow because I have lots of apps open, and they use RAM and CPU time"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Anyway, SuperAce has come from a Galaxy Ace which has about 150MB free RAM and RAM usage was a big deal to those older devices... so his concerns are understood.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] talhafarooq87:
Now onwards ill use menu hold to kill tge open aap then i think my will not get slow ever:) and thanks for the reply:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NuK3DoOM:
One thing I've noticed, if I am browsing the Web, and switch to other app, for instance to send a sms, view an email or chat whatsapp, my browser has to reload all the page when I switch back to it. Some times, the browser is killed and I loose may tabs. This happens virtually on all browsers, I've tested dolphin, chrome, opera and Firefox.

Is it a normal stuff?

LMK kicks the app out of memory. Get a custom kernel with zram and you shouldn't have these issues anymore. Latest Boeffla beta 7 is amazingly fast even with zRam enabled.

Sent from I9300 - UltimaROM - Boeffla Kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Yes...

The new app you're putting into focus uses RAM too(of course) and as mentioned above the LMK kills something else to make room for the new one. You can use the zRAM like mentioned above, but if changing kernels isn't what you want... you can just try to close apps when you're done. The LongPressMenutoKill mod is great for this as it kills it's process completely.

Imagine it's like your browser. Imagine if you didn't close any tab all day... eventually your computer/browser would start to have issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Yeah, though, once you've gone all the way to a custom rom, i don't see the reason to have the stock kernel :)

Thank you guys. This is not the best room only because of the technical capabilities of it, but mostly because of the community!

You guys are so friendly and always have patience to teach the noobs =)

This issue happens also when I have only the browser and the second app opened. But I believe this is dues to the Samsung stock apps that run on background
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I try to use as many AOSP apps as possible :)

Even Chrome is smaller than the stock Samsung browser. It's 20MB on the market, but once you strip out the lib file it's 8MB (we manaully copy the lib to /system/lib/ on Ultima so it's all good.

Antoehr issue I ahve with Samsung is the amount of legacy crap in their apk's. The framework res is FULL of crap we don't need. You check an AOSP one and it's like 9-11MB... ours is 30MB.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Thank you so much for understanding. I read the whole thing and it was a pretty good one. So basically, leave ram as it is and let Android be Android. It'll be incredibly hard considering im used to constantly keeping an eye on ram wondering where a random 5MB was being taken from.

Sorry again for being a noob. I just learned a lot. Thanks Kryten!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NuK3DoOM:
I prefer the Aosp apps too. The best solution is buying a phone with more Ram hahahha.

I will probably buy a Galaxy S4 or a Xperia Zl (Zq here in Brazil, because our smart government choose a 4g standard that is different from the rest of the world...) by the end of the year. I think that there will é a great difference. Also I hope that I continue using UltimaROM on the new device :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
Unlike other teams I'm just one guy! I'd like to expand onto more devices but I just can't fund them
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Kryten-Sama, so to my understanding, the reason why cyanogen roms have so much free ram is because the system itself is light. And the reason why more free ram results in "faster performance" is because the system has space to do whatever it needs. Right? And hence the reason why so many task managers/killers kill user apps to free up space and keep the whole thing running smooth. AM I RITE?!?!?!

I feel like I just leveled up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Task killers are useless, though.

I have a quick question. Does anyone have any issues updating themed apps? I've always been paranoid about installing the themed versions of the apps available out of fear that when an update for it is released that I'd encounter issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Louis235:
I got the camera workin:good: At some point i stopped countin' how many attempts I started:laugh: I found a solution on web.

Just in case that someone else faces this problem, that cam doesn't even open, after installation. The reason for this is: There are two different Camera Modules. And many Custom ROM's somehow don't fit with the one module my SGS 3 for example has. So if you have a Stock ROM backup (with Stock ROM's Cam is workin).....just open Data>CWF. There you find

"SlimISP_GH.bin". Copy this file to your external SD-Card. Now flash your favourite ROM. After installing, put back the bin-file into data>cwf, reboot and be happy:D.

I'm glad that I can use now this really brilliant ROM as my daily ROM.

Thank you for providing, Kryten:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Agreed. That's why I skipped them in the rom installation.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:

Just as I'm cutting some of the crap out of the ROM... Do the NFC mods even work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Does S beam even work? I've never used it before. I tried but I just end up passing files by Bluetooth.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NuK3DoOM:
The nfc on 25 toggles works greats. Also the s beam is working perfectly. I use it a lot to share photos with my girlfriend. But the lockscreen nfc I tried once and it didn't work. I've never tried it again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
I mean the NFC while screen is off mod ;)

And yeah SBeam works great!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh I see. I'll look up how to use it. Is it like Bluetooth?

On a side note: I've confirmed underclocking doesn't save any battery. I ran phone at 1Ghz throughout my normal average day and I still had the same results. I usually end up with around 65% but today I have 57. Oh well. Back to 1.6Ghz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MattBooth:
It uses NFC to setup a wi-fi direct connection between two devices running the SBeam feature.

And that's shocking, but many, many things could've contributed to that loss. Typically, I find that OCing loses me battery much quicker, unless I undervolt to the same levels (run 1.6GHz at the same voltage as 1.4GHz stock) in which case it's slightly slower to drain the battery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yeah, I found it weird as well. I don't remember doing anything differently at all. Just instagram, pictures, and facebook. No games. Oh well.

But doesn't 1600Mhz have same voltage as 1400Mhz as it is?
