Now i wonder how my phone keeps breathing. .

Agree with you..

1) Instructions are clear

2) Its up to anybody to even open xda so it means flashing or doing anything at.

3) Before flashing is recommended to read all about. I accepted red mark since i got rooted for fist time when i had a Galaxy Ace now more than ever!.

Want to avoid all of this? Flash from your old base and stay at last version thats all. We all now risks and we are here to provide solutions and excellent materials as Will does with AnonoRom.

EDIT

Baseband nothing to see or affect to red mark at boot or exynos exploit.

Regards :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
So to remove red dot and stay with custom rom I need to wipe all and install Anono?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maesedroid:
Must be a: Yes but exynos abuse will remain.

As i mentioned before even in Perka's Thread, currently there's no way to avoid both at same time.

I prefer to recommend to stay at ELLA without moving a finger to it system dump. Extra security is not bad and even more safe excluding sudden death.

Regards :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Point is that I still have both problems though I wiped and installed stock. And after wipe and Anono installation I still have red dot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maesedroid:
To avoid red dot (tested):

-Remain original recovery or..

-Change CSC/Bootloader file system to ELL5..

-Another is to flash stock or custom from odin mobile ticking remain root privileges. Then flash anono.

Multiple combos all as confusing since ELLA came up to escene hehe.

EDIT

Sammobile talking about ELLA fixes:

Regards :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Sorry for asking so much. Shall I set SCS to BTU to remove red dot like it described in Perka's post? Even though I'm not from UK.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maesedroid:
Yes no matter where you are, but a wise advice will be to wait till next update to the rom itself by Will. So he can build-in those patches and check we're out of exynos vulnerability. So we can leave behind this annoying ELLA "issues"

Feel free to ask anytime no matter how many times, also you can PM if you need.

Regards :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Seems like now I get red mark even after custom recovery installation. Before it was not.like that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xzibithelps:
I don't understand. I flashed v21, everything seems fine. The xxella gives sudden death or what? Should I go to xxell4? Or what should I do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] d4c:
That my friend is the reality of flashing a rom. You void your warranty, don't want to void your warranty? Then don't flash roms... Simple ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IOIDroid:
Regarding the latest problems with the ELLA Fix.

I have flashed the stock ROM via using the Kies Method and Odin method, and i still have the exynos problem, my CSC is set to BTU.

The thing is these fixes released by Samsung do not appear to affect everyone, however the main issue for the RED DOT Etc does appear to affect everyone.

After seeing the issues with ELLA and the battery drain that comes with it I am really tempted to rebase back onto ELL4 for the official release.

The ELLA appears to be giving more issues than its fixing.

Please give me your opinions and then i will make the decision :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Noharmtrying:
To me battery is everything ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cletusarrarr:
Stick to ELL4 if that's the case
[Galaxy S III Android Development] impact1991:
yes your instruction is right. i will flash back to ell5 baseband (stock rom release) and then install anonorom and no more red dot.

no xxella does not give sudden death i think, it gives the red dot "problem" described the sites before your post. but this only happens if you flash your baseband to newest xxella release with a stock rom via odin. if you flash custom roms via cwm only , and never update your baseband via odin, then you are not affected.

yes my friend, this is totally clear for me. i flash since ive got my first samsung smartphone years ago. i just want to share my experience with other people to inform they about the actual situation, ;)

EDIT: but i think if we avoid this red dot problem with using an older baseband then we dont get the exynos bug fix , right ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Noharmtrying:
From what I heard siyah 1.8.6 fixes exynos bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] impact1991:
hmm dont know, in the changelog from siyah 1.8.6 he says : a temporary kernel-side fix for exynos-mem security hole until Samsung fixes it

EDIT: in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918667&page=15, they are talking about that there is no way to downgrade from xxella baseband.

For me battery of v21 is great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] steelbeans:
My battery life on this rom isn't half as good as it used to be. I'm back on your 17.3 now and I'm still getting under 3 hours screen on time, which used to get a really good life with exactly the same usage ! Only thing I've changed it updated the apps on the play store after I restored back to it.

I would like to use better battery stats but i get so confused when it opens im not sure how to use it.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Battery on v21 for me too is very good. On par with v20.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cousiver:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] neilmc1983:
My screen was on for half the time of yours... how did you manage such good battery life?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jody2k:
Yes the older versions where more battery friendly, newer one eg. V21 is more smooth at the cost of battery life

I agree
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IOIDroid:
Just Noticed a couple of problems with my ROM, instead of flashing back to ELL4 i will re-release the ROM as a ELLA release. Later today :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] impact1991:
for everyone who got the new bootloader and wants the old back, here is a howto thats works: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36315180
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Just managed to install stock ELLA took a number of tries.

Not even rooted yet but pretty sure I know how to avoid red mark having read through every single page of the official thread

My method will be

1. Flash official firmware via Odin (or Kies whatever. I have done this step)

2. Use CF-Auto Root using Odin

3. Download and use triangle to reset the counter

4. DO NOT INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY.

5. Flash ROMS using only mobile Odin (as this won't increase binary counter) and never DL or boot into a custom recovery.

From what I make of the threads and learning from other people's mistakes this would be the way to avoid the red mark while still protecting S3 from the Sudden Death issue, assuming it's now fixed.

This is my theory based on the stacks of posts I have read through. I haven't tested this yet
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IOIDroid:
TBH i dont know why everyone is so worried by the red exclamation mark :/ someone will find a way around it eventually and until then we will just have to deal with the exclamation mark.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
I have been using stock xxella kernel with this ROM (got it from omega's add on files) it has been working very well with similar battery life to perseus, seems Samsung may of sorted their kernels out!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] d4c:
Any number of reasons why you had a faster battery drain, apps, sync etc...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Im not worried but see numerous posts and everyone else seems to be. The only fair in solving the exclamation mark is time but in the meantime anyone worries by it can just avoid usin Google a custon recovery.

A new bootloader with a new security feature will obviously need to looking into so some one can find a way round it

Im only on stock as I got my new S3. Once the nww Anono version is up ill be on it

Hi Guys

Just released the latest version

Changes

Fixed a couple of my minor issues

Fixed Samsung Dive

ReAdded AccuWheather (prevents force close on Apps)

Removed some unneccsary lib files (polaris viewer etc)

Added Persues v30
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Thanks, downloading now!

It's now installed, I see you didn't change:

dialler to have direct sms capabilities

direct call button from call logs

Thanks for the rest of your hard work.

That's The Battery Friendliest ROM out Here..

My Battery holded 3 Days With The Anker 4400 MaH!

The other ROM's just holded like 1 Day.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] neilmc1983:
Thanks mate :)

Can I ask what "Fixed a couple of my minor issues" were?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
What is the base for this one? Does it solve red dot issue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
There isn't a permanent solution to red dot issue yet. Is Not a big deal anyway. A few posts back tells you how to avoid it anyway

And the base is ELLA
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
I know it not a big issue but if it is possible to avoid it why not? And I need custom recovery. I just though that if this rom is not ella then I can revert back to old bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Absolutely. I'd prefer to avoid it but some one will find a way round it at some point.

Booting into custom recovery adds 1 to the count

Here the the UK I hear we can Flash custom firmware without affecting warranty
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Just search Norton Halt in Playstore it might help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
It helps only with ussd problem and has nothing to do with Exynos and red dot issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anubius:
So there was a problem with Perseus kernel v.30. Libraries that were needed for video recording were broken. There is an updated version 30.1 if anyone has any issues.

P.S. Still living with the fear of SDS.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] exgtigsr:
Great sharing.. thanks !!! :good:

how about if we flash custom kernel later on with mobile Odin... will this cause the ! to appear back? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
couldnt say to be sure. I would assume so. I dont know though. i haven't even re-rooted my device yet
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jody2k:
Do not flash the new bootloader, it doesnt fix the sudden death it will only limit your root options. There are some cases now who has sudden death with newest firmware and bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Too late. Already done. But if it dies you just claim on your warranty. I don't think the new security measures are much to worry about after all
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
I found the 30.1 Perseus a bit of a battery drain, I'm trying stock XXella Kernel for now will report back later.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alatariell:
Hi IOIDroid,

Many thanks for the wonderfull Rom. Really appreciate your work!

In the latest v21.1 i encountered something odd i havent seen yet on your ROM's. Did you change anything regarding APN settings? On v21 my APN list is empty which didnt occur on older versions of the rom. To be sure i restored the latest offcial update from samsung and the APN settings are there. I did a dull wipe before installing ofcourse including wipe of internal memory

fyi i am in the netherlands on T-Mobile. I just setted the APN's manually and that works, its just odd that the APN list remains empty on a clean install of v21.1

Regards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anubius:
Can you please share the link to this kernel. Can it be flashed using CWM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
You can download from playstore omega files app and install from S3 - Kernels - XXELLA kernel download the zip and install via cwm.

Having said that, still getting battery drain and I am reverting back to 20.2. It was stable and had the best battery life for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anubius:
I think I want to try going back to very old versions of this ROM. I remember the time when I had some really good results with previous versions however I don't remember which one. If there a place where I can find older versions maybe up to v.18?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
V11 and v17 were the best for me. Both gave well over 6 hours screen on easily and v17 gave me over 7 hours on a few occasions

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

The great thing about this ROM is that people don't move on. Flashaholics don't jump ship. For the most part, users know they won't find better ROMS elsewhere so they stop looking. You find Anono, you find a place to call home.

Apologies for the corny nature of this post lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anubius:
Maybe you can share the zip file of v.17 if you have it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Going back through the posts I found V18 getting the best battery life, anyone have this they could share please? I did have it but had a delete of old files a week or so ago and can't get it back!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IOIDroid:
Ill have a look if I can find any of yhem I deleted a lot of prwvious versions because of too much data ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cletusarrarr:
+ 1 agreed , im still on 20.2 and still have flashed away being a flashoholic :P Wifes phone is on v18 :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Hey you may be able to get V18.zip off her phone memory and upload somewhere for us please?

I'll double check I've not got it on my home pc when I get back, but doubt I have!

Found V18

http://hotfile.com/dl/186408347/e7c0bb4/AnonoROMv18.zip.html

You will not standby and screen time is not good in screenshots attached certainly not like the 5hrs in v18 I had.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
I dont have any zip files to previous versions.. im sure IOIdroid has older versions on the XDA server though,

come to think of it i MAY possibly have v11 on my laptop at home.. ill have a root ;) around for it later
[Galaxy S III Android Development] linus98:
Version 21.1 is based LL5?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
I've downloaded V18 and I have installed downgrading from V21 to V18. I think I'm just going to leave it on that until KeyLimePie is released, working and getting good feedback.

I only used Omega and this rom. I started with V19 which was pretty much the best one for me. But now on V21 some problems with touch and connectivity. Does anyone still have V19?.

V11 here if you need it.

Finding V20.2 battery is okay on siyah kernel, could be related to new perseus kernel for battery drain, going to try V21.1 with siyah before going back, as it will be a complete back up and reinstall from new.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
On stock XELLA at the moment and unrooted so stock kernel.

Battery life excellent over 4 and a half hours screen on time and still have about 20% left

With Anono tweaks stock base and kernel I think would be a great match for battery life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
I'll install stock xxella kernel on anon v21.1 You can get it off omega app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Let me know how you get on.

I'm staying unrooted for now. Not for long just enjoying a brand new S3 so will wait a week or two before rooting

After quite a bit of messing about, I have reverted back to AnonoROMv20.1 installing AnonoROMv20.2 update over it.

This works the best for me:

XXELL4 Base.

Good data connection on default I9300BUELK1 modem.

It has SMS direct from Dialler :)

Direct Call from Call logs with SMS removed :)

Better battery life than V21.1 (maybe not the same as going back to V11 or V18 but newer base with more features so I would rather keep it)

Hope the above helps someone – if you need me to uploaded 20.1 & 20.2 zips let me know I’ll upload somewhere!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anubius:
I will try to do the same. We will see.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Upload it please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Wheres the best place to upload? I can do this lunchtime, google drive has limited number of downloads though?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
im currently uploading v20.1 to dropbox so will post a link when done (over 3G though just started so may be a while). I also have V11 saved in dropbox.

I didnt get great battery life on 20.1 (mind you, im comparing to v17/18 and v11. compared to any other ROM still superb)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
What kernel u use with 18? Latest Perseus?

So far battery life on 20.2 and I still have 56% left.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
V20.1

http://db.tt/eeJ4s05r
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
V20.2 - install over 20.1 once installed.

http://db.tt/zppF31jr
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cletusarrarr:
i too feel 20.2 is the best so far with the latest update.

Lets not debate over which old version is good as that won't really be the way ahead. let Will work his magic , after all each base is different by Samsung , lets see what can be done, i would suggest sitting tight till samsung fixes the bug and then makes a release, lets go from there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Agree with this completely. I'm going to stick to 20.2. It has all the latest features and everything works well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
Agreed. Although I am unrooted at the moment, so i'll sit tght and root and gear up with Anono once its all sorted.

I think its nice to look back though.. Anono has come a long way and I think its journey has been quite an interesting one. It started out with a really good solid ROM that had quite impressive battery life and it has grew from strenght to strength.

I think when we mention the likes of v11, v17,v18 and v20.2.. i would think of them as milestones. If those were the defining moments of Anono and users universally agreed, those versions could be learned from. Sure they would have different basebands etc, so what works on one may not behave the same on a later version, but there may be a number of tweaks that work across the spectrum, that stand the test of time.

Im having a really good experience myself on stock XXELLA except for very slight lag in some instances. but I would think keeping XXELLA as a base for the next version would be a wise choice, especially here in the UK

I dont know how it works per se, but I would hope that XXELLA is kept until the next major change firmware comes out, rather than changing for every single release (not saying it would), I would assume there would be new releases that are the same but just for different countries
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Can you remember when this ROM was known as ComunoRom! That was right at the very start, I've still got ComunoRom_v2 on my pc! :)

I certainly think if you are getting slight lag with XXELLA Stock moving over to V20.2 is a worthwhile move :) no lag here on 20.2 with Siyah's latest kernel which is installed as part of it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
i do although I didnt install Anono till it became Anono.. It sounded great but didnt want a stock look/feel. I had come from Omega, then UltimaRom. Ultima ROM looks awesome and has some really nice features.. I suppose I compare it to CyanogenMod without all the bugs..

But I wanted better battery life. So tried Anono. Havent looked back. I like AOSP features but its a worthwhile trade off for great battery,

I install the Motomoto theme over Anono and I get the best of both worlds!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Madlisboa:
Hello all,since im having sound problems with my rom i will try this,but as i can see on the first post,battery tweak was removed,even so the rom still with good batery life?thx.

Been back with v17.3 for number of days now. Screen on time is ok, but the real wow is the standby time, reckon i could leave it all day and it would be maybe down to only 95%? A guess, but ive been using it since 6.30 this morning and im still 70% with music, texts, calls etc!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
on v17 I could leave it off from 9-5 while at work and have only dropped 2%.. i posted screenshots way back in the thread. Incredible sleep patterns
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
Well been on version 20.2 with the siyah kernel from install 5.5hrs screen on time and 13.5hrs on.

I don't know whether to revert back to v11, v17, v18 or stick on 20.2?!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kobrax:
With those results I would be happy sticking to 20.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benbird7:
BTW I also went to bed at 94% woke up 5 hours later and it was down to 92% so not too bad in idle either, plenty of screen use today though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] impact1991:
Lol, why you are talking about going back to all these previous versions since 3 pages ?

look in the future and use the current versions compiled by ioidroid so he knows what are the pro and cons on his current version and he can improve. this is the only way a rom gets better.

if everyone uses older versions now things wont get better :eek:

i would ask me why i should build new versions of my rom if nobody uses them ^^
