GO ON!

I'm not a developer (but would like to be), so I'm a noob!

I do not know how to make a good ROM for my device, but I know where find something like this. And what is best, I not paid for it!

Developers here do not charge for their service, it's for free! For fun, by overcoming, by hobby. However, they also have a job, a family, a life.

XDA is a forum for developers, but by democracy, everyone can participate. But if you do not understand, or do not know, do not criticize, or copper. There are other options! Search, at least for this!

We have options to choose. So, choose! But do not blame dev if you do not know how some things work, or how to fix some small error. Or if you do not read the OP and forum rules.

You are not perfect, nobody is. Why ROM should be?

If you want perfection and good service, pay for it. Your device is for free? Why don't blame and charge a better system from manufacturer, for example? Or seek another option! But please do not take the patience or discourage people who do what they love and rejoice with the good recognition.

If not satisfied, try another, or do it yourself.

Congratulations Sotmax. tested your ROM just once, but always accompany your work and see how you are dedicated and meticulous.

Continue! There are many more people who appreciate you, the few that depreciate. ;)

sad news :(

been using sotmax rom since v8 and i have to say i really enjoyed downloading all the new versions as they came out

i eagerly read all forum posts and loved how helpful most people were

ill see how v25 runs but one thing for sure.....my s3 will still run sotmax only

regards diddle :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aizamev:
oh no. :(

it is very sad. thank you for everything sotmax. this is my 1st custom rom that i used and i've try different rom but still back to yours.

many of us still hope you will back here but it is your decision and we will respect it. thank you again for your masterpiece of custom rom. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fox_bvamrw:
Like I said back in June:

Thanks Sotmax, for all of your work.

All the best for the future.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adrien_razvan:
Sad indeed :(, you're rom is by far the best. Thank you for all the time and effort put into making this rom shine. All the best in the future! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marjanot:
No issues at all with v25. Using it half a day, no heating, battery is brilliant for now.

Thanks Sotmax for great roms you have made.

Keep calm and Sotmax your S3 ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rauppal:
I am on V24 its smooth so far apart from eventual lag in Bluetooth music play or little bit overheating during high spec games.

Just a question, is it worth installing V25 and doest it has any improvement for bluetooth music

A brief review from someone who on V25 would be much appreciated :).

Finally very sorry to see sotmax leaving this rom but again HUGE THANKS to him for his contribution for this rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] carlao:
that is very sad to read sotmax. thank you for your great job. i have this rom only from v15 but it is the best. thank you for all the work!

i installed v25 and i noticed that i have still bluetooth issues while connecting with my car and lots of youtube lag as in v23 and v24, so unfortunately i have to go back to v19 for daily usage because use bluetooth with my care the entire day and i watch a lot of youtube videos a day...

then i will wait for official 4.2.2 release from samsung and istall that one..

thanks a lot again sotmax!

Oh noh he went the "Yank" way and left XDA

Edit: based on the comments, that may not actually be the case?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ashutoshsinghy2k:
M new to s3 I don't get why this rom is getting closed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Daz555:
Really puzzled as to why this thread is going to be closed. With no thread surely the ROM will be dead to all potential new users?

A big shame because the ROM is excellent.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
viki-bg,

Swiftkey is the best keyboard I this has one day seen never and uses already on several Samung Phones and had problems and works perfectly.

However, I have the purchase version and the pair of euro are well put on there.:good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
working on my friend.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
Hi sotmax, :good:

thanks and I wait with pleasure for yours v9, because v8 is great already. Here I know what agrees I with you and whether I install now odex XXELKC now or in one week deodexed XXELKC makes no difference to me, must make anyhow late service!

Nice evening still!!

Doc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Official is a very different fw from my side of view....expect many things...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
:laugh: I have made with yours v8 the best experiences and was never as contented as with v8 and, hence, I wait for XXELKC v9 and, otherwise, nothing comes on my S3.

I have seen that the META_INF are different with XXELKC.....!!!:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] androb0t:
would new modem be better than previous?

hmm just wait for v9, I guess :)

v8 is good already :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
we will see about the modem....i have to test it first....in a couple of hours first flashing going to my device and see how it will go... ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...for approx last 6 hours iv been doing abit of testing with a few of roms which have latest ELKC firmware including official sammy...i am now reflashing Sotmax v8 because in my opinion v8 is faster and far smoother...and everything is the same...apart from modem...so if your thinking of trying (like i was) trust me..dont waste your time...i will be gladly await for Sotmax update instead.....FACT..:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
Hi,

I am very contented with the modem XXELKC, above all the linguistic quality is better and clearer.

Up to now no problems and Wifi work fast and without burglaries, Data I always have 3G/H + almost seldom H and E I do not see at all. However, lies also with the region where one is, can be worse with one, with the other again better. Bluetooth is also functional and GPS. Like the exact comparison against ZNDLK4 looks I must still only see meeting in the next, but up to now really perfectly.:good:

The Yank555 v2.8 ist greate and I'have the Yank555 Option installed.

perfekt DUO:D

@tarzan11 you say it, waiting fo v9 and all Flash User from this Thread are happy.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey..im back on v8 now.... ahh thats better....going to try latest modem with it now..;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:

Okay see you and good night:cool:

Say me like is the Modem for you !:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kepz:
Please no, that's why this ROM is good because it's stock. Let

everyone customise it themselves because I've seen too many devs trying to meet the demands and then end up giving up on the ROM.

That's how I reckon it should be. Keep ROM stock but any addition, let it be an installation option or an enable and disable menu.

As mentioned above, I've seen too many devs here get burnt trying to meet the demands.

I did ask for one thing to be in V9, which is as block as default. I think everyone would agree to that.

....let's not forget the amount of work and troubleshooting when moving away from stock. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
Thats quite true.

Certain mods are ok but if you go too far away there will be always problem.

FYI official is much better than leaked.

If you guys like V8 you will fell in love with V9... :) :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] androb0t:
Really can't wait for it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...Sotmax..your wrong my friend...we already fell in love with v8...;);):)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ra1n3R:
Hey guy's, don't shoot me. :D But I'm in love with my wife :D . Sotmax's ROM and Yank's Kernel are the No.1 here and bring me every day a smile in my face when I use my S III . :) :thumbup:

Thanks to both guy's for the hard work and sharing with us. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Can we get support for HD Voice in v9

My carrier supports it but v8 doesn't unfortunately

I've tried this mod here but that didn't work either

Swyped from my Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drdoulittle:
Morning

v9 will blow up absolutely the bomb and I am glad on v9 then sotmax what knows user wish....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hi guyz...just to say v25 is awsome...no issue's for me...just pure liquid gold...another amazing update from the master of rom development....Sotmax.:)

[ [ROM][4.2.2][XXUFME7][Sotmax Ultimate Stock V25]

Hi to all, i agree with you tarzan11 this rom is really great, really awsome, "pure gold".

I flashed all the 4.2.2 roms for S3 but no one is like this one with battery life and stability.

thank you to all the hard work done here til now.

Thanks,

Tricov:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
I'm not using s3 anymore but this is just sad. I know there is nothing I can do to reverse the decision as an individual. So I would like to say just thank you so much sotmax for all the hard work.

Tarzan and sotmax: secretly come to s4 k? Hihihi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...kind words from you and alot of user's mate...how is the s4 dev going?....picking up yet?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RaphaDroid:
Hey [MENTION=2391029]sotmax[/MENTION], how are you doing?

Here it goes, I'm following this thread since v22 and never flashed your ROM, because I don't like that backing up and restoring process...

I'm going to travel this month, and after that, I'll take my phone to the assistance, so I'll have to turn it all stock again. But after having it back to my hands, the first thing I'm going to do is to flash your ROM! It looks a lot stable!

Thank you buddy! For patiently supporting this thread and giving us this wonderful ROM! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Hey [MENTION=2391029]sotmax[/MENTION], I've been a devout follower of your rom since v8, tested many but always returned :)

It's a shame to see you leaving for two reasons:

First is obviously the incredible rom and the simply faultless support you gave to us users. Nothing was ever too much trouble was it :)

Second ifs the fact that this thread is simply the most stress free thread on the entire xda forum!! The whole "anything goes" attitude showed us to self-moderate and thus the thread never deviated far off topic (maybe other threads could bear this in mind #justsaying)

I wish you all the best for your future in work and life. And I genuinely hope you manage to work something out with your son.

And to the morons that couldn't obey the simple "no eta" rule that managed to knob it up for the rest of us, I would like to say thanks. You all suck!!

So, my download has just finished so I'm just about to rejoin the sotmax tribute. I shall wear my sotmax banner with pride :)

It's picking up slowly but for the moment the choices are very much limited. I'm just running omega rom perseus kernel and 3 minit framework. Lot of bugs lags here and there. The thing I miss most in those tons of threads is the friendliness I have always experienced here. I have very low activity on xda but I have been checking here and there for a very long time and I can guarantee that this much tolerance and friendliness doesn't exist anywhere else on xda.

Lot of stuff happening in xda at the moment. Saw that Andrei was the real reason yank left? Saw some posts exchanged between him and yank. He was demoted to senior member? Now sotmax leaving because of impatient morons. The question now I'm asking myself is why me? The people I love the most here are going away.

Once again I really hope sotmax gets an s4 somehow and develop something for it coz sotmax rom has become a part of my life and it's hard to live without it. I bought the s4 but I don't feel so excited about it. Every now and then I'm turning on my s3 and just swiping through the pages and just smile to myself. Sotmax is the man! So fluid and so stable. Samsung should learn from people like sotmax. The world will be a better place.

Sotmax: no more donation to you for your hard work. Let me know how much a beer cost at your place. Wanna give you something to chill rather than grinding your teeth and straining your brain with a bunch of people who never learn and never appreciate what people do out of pure passion.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crazix:
Never been a user of your ROM but do follow the Thread for new developments. Always wanted to try your ROM which I did finally. But am sad now that you are leaving. I know I won't be much of your help with the problems you are facing but would just like to say your work on the ROM "ROCKS!!!"

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
Btw sorry for spamming with such a long post. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] green750one:
Sad news. Have been rocking with sotmax Rom for just about forever. Perhaps you should do what yank did & set up your own forum. You'd have control over membership then.

Just flashed v25 today, but still getting overheating, although not as bad as with v24. However it was a quick & dirty flash over v23 so I will follow your instructions & do a full wipe & clean install, & see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xpmode:
I'm so sorry that you left developing for us. Sotmax has been my #1 choice Samsung ROM.

After hearing the bad news, I looked around for a ROM like yours, but, couldn't find any.

Ah well, I guess I'll go AOSP and never look back again.

To make this on topic; will you contiune development for Note 2? Or is it completely over?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ballmead:
I agree with most others here, your ROM rocks.

I understand that you no longer have an S3, so I can understand you not wanting to continue with this ROMS development.

Onwards to your next project.

BTW does anyone know how to get Samsung Account to show data.

I have signed into the account but it shows nothing in the sync settings screen.

I've tried full wiping and reinstalling numerous times and I've even wiped dalvic and cache with fix permissions. So far no good.

Do you have to have certain Samsung Apps installed for it to work properly?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aizamev:
conclusion for v25 from me, everything was running smooth and feel it so perfect. no heat issue here, flash with full wipe. but only one thing still have problem like in v24 which is NFC toggle. but it is not an issue because not everyday use. if want to use, just hold the NFC and manually open from setting. no big deal.

thank you sotmax. it is always great from you. :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shan_s2:
I have used your Rom v 19 and v 24. Amazing ROMs.As a user I would like to thank you for the support you have provided. Best of luck for your future assignments. Will miss you as well as your ROM.

I've got a little issue... when I long-press home to show recent apps, I just get a black screen, then systemUI FC's... and when the statusbar returns, it's back to being grey, not transparent - anyone else noticed this issue? or is it just my installation?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] omek07:
I dont have this issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
Ok, I'll give it yet another wipe and see if it still happens before I install my apps

Thanks for that :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyrusavirus:
I am gonna move to N2 as well. .... i have been using Samsung phones for long now... i am a die hard flashaholic. .. but gotta admit... i am stuck with sotmax and chaos.... whatever i try flashing, I end up again flashing either sotmax or chaos in few hours.... no other ROM has been able to hook me for long (not meaning any other ROM is bad)

Now with sotmax gone and chaos almost losing interest ( i hope i am wrong) i don't think there is any reason for me to stick to GS3. ..

Sotmax thnx a ton buddy for all u did for gs3 community.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
I hope it also..or note3

But the devices are expensive. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KKTHX:
Sad day for Me, Sotmax rom user :(

Note 3 too? ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
S4 ain't so expensive. I bought within the first week of release and I spend 699. Now it's way cheaper I believe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyrusavirus:
It is cheaper but i personally don't like the device as such.... Samsung has gone down on build quality way too much and has been over hyping their product features...

To be honest i love my s2 way more than any other phone i have ever used (even s3)... S2 was a classic....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sx4:
Pls can some one give me blue theme of 4.2.2 rom.stock theme.pls I want to use it in 4.1.2 v19

And thanx sotmox for this wonderful rom.hope to see u back once samsung release 4.2.2 update for s3.

Pls think once about ur decision.

Have a g8t life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fantasmanegro:
i was thinking the same thing... but no note 2 in my carrier...:(

if the thread is closed... where i can download sotmax roms?...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
Android File Host, the place to be for v19 (4.1) and v25 (4.2)

Look for Orangerot's dream themes, he may have blue stuffs for you. 4.2.2..

Domination for 4.1.2

I do not like icons of S4 particular camera ... Can someone make a zip with the ability to restore 4.2.2 stock with s3?

I tested this ROM and for me the best so far on XDA for SGS3.

The more I am sad that you are leaving us and close your support for your rom

All the best to you and thank you

i am not asking this from sotmox.i have said if anyone have .read first and then say something to others.

and thanx for ur advise
[Galaxy S III Android Development] calinoii:
Guys,in your opinions,which is the most stable version for Sotmax rom with 4.2.2. I personally found that v23 is the most stable for me,as I am having heating issues and poor ram and redraws on v25. Which do you think is the best ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey...v25 is ok for me..your right in saying high ram...but it runs good for a leak...v23 was also a stable version with least heat issue's...stay with that if it runs ok for you;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] carlao:
Yep v23 is the best.. with 24 and 25 I have serious overheating. Today I have got already two warngs for too high temperatures... I tried also to flash twice the rom with only a factory reset between them as sotmax said but nothing...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] netswim:
I have the same problem with v23 & v25. Skype working good but only with earphones, not the speakers.

Any solution?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] calinoii:
I feel that when the official 4.2.2 would finally come off the dark,Sotmax was going to do it EPIC,too bad he stopped the development for our S3 :( I really feel bad
[Galaxy S III Android Development] green750one:
Yep, I agree with this. Major heating with both v24 & v25 despite clean installs as per Tarzan & Sotmax instructions.

I think it might be device issue, maybe slight variation or tolerance.
