[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sborisov:
Hello everyone,

It's my first post, and I've been registered member for few days only, but I've read a lot, and I also played with my SGS3 a bit.

My first custom rom was ARHD 11.3 with Perseus Kernel and it was doing really well, but when I saw the update to ARHD 13 I thought to myself I should be using the latest version.

Installed 13 with stock Kernel, and now things changed - battery life is ... horrible from my point of view.(not that many will agree though, because it's not that bad as many others has reported).

While I was on 11.3 my battery didn't drain at all during night time when the phone is at rest so when I charge it it was at 100 or 99% in the morning, and 1% per night is awesome. Now when I charge the phone and let it rest when I wake up it's down to 94-96% and 4% drain is unacceptable for me knowing how it was before!

So this leads me to the question - is there any better kernel than Perseus for ARHD? I know it's subjective to ask such a question, but I'd like to know first hand experience from other members with different kernels so I can make an informative choice.

Thank you everyone for the great information and community and I'm looking forward to your answers.

Regards!

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I did. Actually I used the super wipe script provided in the thread, but I guess that counts.

Everybody else, please do keep the suggestions (possibly first hand experience) coming.

Thank you everyone who took the time to reply.

It seems that it was not my battery going down fast, but rather my perception of it.

I am not actively (as actively as others I mean) use my phone with 3G or Wi-Fi, but I played some games and downloaded some stuff. It's not debloated nor has many apps installed, but I didn't charge it since last time, and now almost 3 days later I've still 34% battery (I've talked some time + some skype viber etc) and I must say I was mistaken about the battery life.

I think I will however try with the Perseus Kernel with some UV + debloating and replacing touchwiz with some other launcher for better performance, because as far as I've read TW + UV doesn't play out good.

Any other suggestions are welcome though, as I'm relatively noob as I've my SGS3 for few weeks only.

Hey guys.

Maybe there is already a fix for this but cant find it-

when i listen to youtube i wanna turn my phone so that speaker on the back is exposed so that it is louder-but when i turn the phone it goes to silent.

I know that i can turn that option off under motion but i like that option for silencing calls.

Is there a way u can set this up-so that i can only solent calls and not media.

Thanks

Two small problems with ARHD 14 & SGS3

Hi all,

I have installed ARHD 14 on my SGS3 (with perseus) after staying 2 weeks with version ARHD 12 (with stock kernel).

I have noticed two problems:

Calls: when i make or receive a new call, for a while I see the name/photo of the previous call made or received

Google talk: now this latest arhd it doesn't work anymore. No way to login to the service.

Anyone has noticed these problems?

Thank you all!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamma:
Not here. Did you do a fullwipe before updating to 14?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindoz:
No, just only the wipe script inside aroma, but I used full swipe when installing version 12 and the problem with calls affected even version 12.

With version 14 this problem remained and now only with version 14 I have problem with Gtalk too.

Any idea?

Hi y'all,

I'm currently using ARHD 13.0 and install Perseus kernel that came with that build. Can I just install the latest version 22.2 on top of 13.0? or I need to revert back to the latest samsung released build first, then flash this rom? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just flash the rom but i would full wipe before installation:

In CWM: Data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, format system in mounts and storage and then flash the rom without a wipe in the Aroma installer. That should do it.

What I have to do?

Another question: what is the best kernel for this rom and the best recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mereno:
@Or1994: Hi! I've been using ARHD since v17 and I honestly have not had a problem with dragging app icons to the homepage. May I suggest that you double check the md5 to ensure you're installing a good copy. If it doesn't check out, try downloading the file again. Moreover, if you came from another ROM, it is highly recommended that you perform a full wipe first before installing ARHD 22.x. As for the best kernel, this is entirely subjective. Most people stick to the stock kernel provided by the ROM. Having said that. however, I found that Boeffla Kernel works best for me. My advice then is for you to try all the kernels available for 4.1.2 ROMS and to settle on the one that works for you and your phone.

I hope that helps.

So, I wiped and formatted everything again, and installed ARHD22.4, and the gmail app issue continues.

in the meanwhile, all my installed apps are automatically being installed (as was with ARHD30.1), it's only the gmail app.

Any ideas?

I've installed the ARHD 30.5 but went "back" to 23.3 because of one reason. When i'm on vibartion mode (30.5), I only want my phone to vibrate on incomming calls and texts. But it also vibrates on incomming e-mails, even if I untick "vibrate" in email settings (same for gmail). Is this because of android 4.2.1?

Music playback skipping problem

Hi everyone, thank you for taking the time to check out my problem.

Every now and then, seemingly randomly - the music skips and gets cut off while playing(I tried numerous music players, so that's not the problem).

This is very frustrating - it occurred on my previous install of ARHD v. 22.0, and with this latest version 32.0 it got worse. :(

This happens almost only when the screen is off, so I am guessing it has to do with some memory management - background processes etc.

Maybe there is a way to prioritize Google Music - or any other player - so that it doesn't get stuck.

Note: I use Sony DR-BT 50 earphones to listen, but this also happens while playing music with a wired headset.

Maybe a different kernel could solve this issue. Any thoughts?

Wanted to post this in official AR HD thread, but as i'm new to this forum, it is impossible for me until i get 10 psots.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, i got fed up with official SGS3 firmware lags and i decided to try some other ROM. Checked out a ton of them and decided to try this one. So here are some questions i encountered while and after flashing the ROM. (Thanks to mike1986 for such a great job, as it works almost perfectly!)

First is - in ARHD official thread it is said, that the ROM has improved EXT4 performance, however i was asked if i want to disable writebacks. Is this an additional option or it IS the option that actually boosts it's performance? And is it worth enabling it?

It was also said that the ROM has full GPU rendering, but in dev options it is unticked (AND the official thread has a link to a tweak that enables GPU rendering). Can anyone clarify this to me? Is it that this tweak is in-build now or i have to install it manually?

Also one of the points why i chose ARHD was the picture of interface. The default dialer had the video-call button changed with SMS button, but atm i cant seem to find how to do this.

The lag between pressing the power button and the phone actually waking up really decreased, but atm it's still around 1-2 (sometimes 3) seconds. Is there a way to reduce it even more?

And the last question is - is it worth using other kernel (Boeffla)? What are the advantages?

I am willing to spend some time tunning my phone so that it works perfectly. Thanks again for any advices.

RECOVERY: Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

My question is where to go now. The main reason I rooted (I guess as with most Desire owners) was so I could gain more storage space. I’ve read about repartitioning the SD card which I will probably go for in the long run, but I wanted to try flashing a custom ROM first just to get a feel for things. Would flashing a custom ROM free up some memory in itself, due to losing the HTC stock apps and sense UI, etc?

Can anyone recommend a light ROM that would work with the version of HBOOT and CWM I have? I’ve looked at Oxygen which is supposed to be a very light Gingerbread based ROM? Does flashing a ROM require me to format my SD card or factory reset first, etc?

Any recommendations and pointers toward the process involved would be great!

Install 4ext recovery. (4ext.net)

Partition your sd-card (Back it up first) 1gb ext, and skip the rest.

Install a rom that uses any a2sd type script.

Or install mounts2sd, and enable stuff from terminal.

Light roms: Mildwild, Cyanogenmod 7, Redux

To flash a rom: Factory data reset +Wipe cache+ wipe dalvik cache

No need to wipe sd-card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Installing above ROM's is not a best idea with Stock HBOOT which you have.

To use them flash a cm7r2 hboot or look for something else. (or you'll just waste loads of internal memory)

Try this one for example if you interested in Sense 2.1/3.0 (A2SD version for your hboot, make sure you partitioned your SD with 4ext recovery) - http://revolutionrom.com/

Do some reading ADB/Fastboot guides, once you'll understand flashing hboots it's a cake, takes like 10secs and you're setup for any ROM's out there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Hi guys, thanks for the replies.

So if I understand it right, I'd need to flash the HBOOT to use a ROM such as Cyanogenmod (but could use my current Clockworkmod recovery), but to use Revolution ROM, I have to flash to 4EXT Recovery and partition the SD?

Would I flash 4EXT recovery first (with my stock HBOOT and ROM), then partition the SD card, then install Revolution ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You can do that.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
#1 If you wont flash required hboot, it will work too but you'll waste about 150Mb internal memory in this case.

#2 4ext is not requirement for anything, it's just better recovery and you can partition SD card with it. (partitioning in CWM usually doesn't work properly)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Ok, I think (since I would in the long run anyway) ill try flash 4ext recovery and then give the Revolution ROM a go.

However I just turned on my PC to find my graphics card has died so apologies if my replies are erratic!

In the meantime, does 4ext recovery partition the SD card from the recovery on the phone itself? Does it format the SD in the process?

Thanks again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.ik:
Yes, partitioning happens from the recovery, and yes, data on the sd card will be lost since it's being reformatted. Also, if you flash a new ROM, your apps will be gone, so it's mainly a good idea to back them up with an app such as Titanium Backup or MyBackup and restore them to your new rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colin_404:
And dont forget to make a Nandroid backup in recovery before u start flashing anything.

Then copy it to ur computer before u format the sd card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
You can choose to not format FAT (windows) partition, in that case your data on the sd card will be untouched. (but you should backup it anyways, just in case)

Also you dont need to "flash" 4ext recovery, you just download the 4ext application and it will do the rest.
