Is there any chanche that we will ever seen a 4.4 Neat Rom, not AOSP?

Just asking, no pression intended!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Michael_Android:
Hello, I need some help. Is it possible to install this ROM by using PhilZ Touch Recovery? What about ROM Manager?

Does it contain the Insane Chip bug fix? Thanks !

Installing ROM through ROM manager is an old fashion.

Just follow the instructions given in the op. You should be fine.:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Michael_Android:
And what about the Insane Chip bug fix? Is it included in this ROM?

how can disable HD Vice?

Why freez? Why don't you uninstall them? I use safe app remover from Market and uninstall everything i don't need. The program has recycle bin so you can restore what you want if you experience instability.

I dont't think you can. Maybe your mobile operator doesn't support Hd voice or this may be kernel issue
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sargos76:
because i can't uninstall everything i want, im afraid that system became unstable thats the reason i ask to all wich apps can be freezed or uninstalled ☺

Go to setting-up device-NeatRomControl General Mods and select CRT effect.

If that doesn't work then it must be an Xbosed module that changes that.☺

I installed Phils recovery, wiped the phone and then installed the latest NeatRom from my external sd card.

I checked the md5 and it was fine.

Now the phone won't start up, it just reboots into Phils recovery every time I turn it on or reboot system from Phils.

Any tips? I tried wiping data again and reinstalling ROM after a wipe but it's still the same.

I assume I may have to install stock firmware with odin but would like to avoid that if possible.

Any tips?

Rebooting in Recovery

Which version of philz recovery did you install?

I was successful with philz_touch_6.48.4-i9300.zip downloaded from https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/

Maybe this would help?

And from the Ultra clean installation chapter of post #4 of this thread:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RickEphraims:
I found the kernel supplied with the rom to be smoother than boeffla kernel but unfortunately, I'm stuck on boeffla and patched modem or no signal.

Would be great to patch the stock kernel .

Hey

Please do give a try to my own personal boeffla profile which I've been using on 4.3 for 2 weeks:

Hey mate!

After considering this lack of lockscreen widget I came across the conclusion:

*if I don't need this crappy stock lockscreen anymore then why not to replace it like 8sms?*

Aaaand.. Here comes the most simple, beautiful & totally battery friendly lockscreen I've ever seen & used:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2641557

Also, in case you have xposed turn on its module for better handling.

Seriously, you will love it. :cool:

P.S. I haven't experimented yet in terms of freezing native lockscreen while using masterpiece above but I suppose it might not be worth trying as long as we don't need system crashes. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ballmead:
Good on ya mate, you were right. :good:

I was running the latest version of Phils recovery 5.00.5 and it didn't work so I decided to install TWRP instead and it worked like a charm
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
5.00.5 the latest? Sorry dude, but you're totally wrong. 5.00.5 is not only outdated version but also dangerous while using for current custom roms/mods. The latest PhilZ is 6.48.4 which in comparison with 5.00.5 is far more advanced & refined. :)

Still need to do a full factory reset since i haven't got the time to do so. But went to a festival yesterday and recorded some video's.. totally amazed with the sound quality much more clearer then stock/CM and also better then my friends Nexus 5!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
AcDisplay all the way, i've been using it before and totally forgot about it, thanks for memory refresh! And that 'widget' really doesn't need me that much.

And oh, about freezing the native lockscreen, what is it's name in sys/app?

And is it an app or integrated in framework?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
Neatrom Lite is fantastic. Most reliable rom on xda

Anyway to make audio louder with a sound mod at all?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
Viper?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sargos76:
that's the one i use and it rocks my S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Oh, I googled a bit and it seems lockscreen thing is located into android.policy.jar so all the more I will not experiment here with total touchwiz lockscreen removal. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
Just tried it and didn't notice a big improvement on the volume being louder.

Any other sound mods I can run?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
why are you not installing boeffla kernel and then play with boeffla sound,for me it is the best :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
I was running another rom on here without any kernel. It came with 'acid sound mod' and it was a lot louder than this rom. I always found very small gaps when listening to music when I used the boeffla kernel

Do you have a download link at all. I tried 2 from the link but they didn't work

Ok got it installed but it's still very quiet. The other rom I was running was louder when volume was half way. Overall this rom is by far the best though!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
Oookey dokey that'll be skipped. :D

Update, searched a bit and found out that lockscreen runs under name com.sec.keyguard.apk, but it's complex rather than just an apk, it merges with android.policy, freezing keyguard worked, no lockscreen, but just for few minutes, then system fc :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Hey, what was the rom you had been using? Maybe that way we will find the answer.

Few cents from me? For louder sound I'd use boeffla kernel with boeffla config app where it can be easily increased.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
The rom is called S5 Mini Alpha. This is it

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-galaxy-s5-mini-12-edition-buy-s5-t2669724

Like I say with the above rom I didn't even have a kernel installed but it was still loud as hell!

Another thing I've just noticed is I have no 'notification' volume. All I have is ringtone, media, alarm volume (which should be notification) and system volume
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Afaik keyguard apk is far more responsible not for lockscreen itself but for the locking methods used there. I'd say if for example we use only ripple efect without any PIN, pattern, etc then this app is partially unneccessary.. Unfortunetely the key word - 'partially' which was proved straight by you in your freezing experiment. :D

God blass we have already got rid of crappy message app & lockscreen (partially hehe). Apart from the fact replacing touchwiz with nova is obvious thing, I wonder what else we can achieve. Honestly, few weeks ago I tried Kryten mod replacing stock dialer & contacts with AOSP ones - they were indeed Mother of Android pretty fast! But.. As stated in mod OP I had to sacrifice audio crackling during every call which made this new replacement useless and pointless. :(

We stay in touch if any of us discover new possibility. :)

@Isalamun here it is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780131

Maybe it will work for you at least as this sound bug is reported as not appearing in all devices. :)

Oh, almost forgot - we also replaced stock gallery with QuickPic using myliferocks mod for camera allowing to choose default gallery app. :3 (anyway I keep hidden in nova stock gallery only for changing loclscreen wallpaper.. Oh, but look! Now even don't need this as we use AcDisplay! Yeah, another stock app to remove, one more happy day. :D)

Hmm, after all, maybe I will produce some nice post with all our tips&links how to feel AOSP on stock based roms. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
Anyone help at all?

I have no sound for sms alerts. In volume control it shows alarm volume instead of notification.

Battery life is poor as well
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
How about this:

message app - settings - notification sound?

First BBS screens, then complain:

;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
Like I say no sound our notification. Definitely not handcent. Please check for me this. When you do volume up or down then press configuration what 4 sound volumes appear on your screen?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
I have ringtone, media, notification & system.

But, again, did you check what have you set in stock messanger app settings? Because there are 3 places with this setting:

#1 settings - my device - sound

#2(!) messanger app - settings - notification sound

#3 volume +/- menu

Check once again ALL of these places.

If no one gives you any effect then I have totally no idea what's wrong. It may also be caused by xposed module or any mod/custom theme you have installed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mike710_0:
Your right it was the gravity box module causing the problem. I now have notification sound back. Thanks very much!

Btw what's a bbs screen regarding the battery?

The reason I say battery life is poor is because I've used quite a few other galaxy s5 roms off here and they were fine. Usually at this time of day my battery is at 70% as it stands am at 39% and using my phone no differently
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
My adventure with S3 has tought me about being careful with xposed modules. :) They are powerful, useful & totally handful but on the other side you can't even notice when something in system is being messed up.

Anyway to improve the volume as its not that loud on this rom. The last rom I used had this kernel

Anyway to use it in this rom? Acid, viper etc make little difference
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
Install boeffla kernel with its config app, then head into boeffla config, slide over to boeffla sound and raise the speaker/headphone level.

But hey, it can be loud as hell, also, if you enable equalizer and enable some of the presets, i guarantee you the, err, eargasm!

Hello, I´m new to this ROM, but I had to try it, since all of the AOSP based ones have that annoying camera bug that makes the camera useless...

My problem is: I was configuring my home screen, so I wanted to delete the "gallery" from the home screen, since it´s icon is very ugly (samsung´s fault I know), so I long pressed the gallery icon and tossed it do the garbage, and, for my surprise, this deleted the whole app!

Now, whenever I took a picture, I just can´t see the picture, since it won´t open the pictures with "photos" from google, can someone send me the APK for the gallery for this rom?

I´ve downloaded one from the internet and it won´t install.

Thanks in advance.

just a suggestion: try quickpic from the store, for me it's better than stock gallery.

only thing is that without gallery you won't be able to set lockscreen wallpaper but, as [MENTION=5264108]malachow[/MENTION] suggested, for lockscreen you can give a try to Acdisplay, I've tried it and I'm not gonna come back :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] insane2103:
hi man, my problem was regarding the camera app, when you took a pic, it sets a little thumb on the corner, and without stock gallery, i wasnt able to see that, now i can, i mostly use "google +" gallery to see pictures.

thanks anyway!

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

look for some settings that enable google to use your wifi even if it´s off (they use it on location services like google now), I turned mine off.

it´s under "settings/wifi/advanced" => always allow (mine is in portuguese so i guess this might be the name of the menu in english)... "allows that location services like google search for wifi networks even when wifi is off"...

this is a major battery drainer in my s3. when i was running kit kat, with google now, my battery lasted for 8 hours tops.

it even used to tell me where I parked my car, how many kilometers i´ve walked, runned, used my car... crazy battery drains.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
I noticed this also, I was on Archieport, but came back to neat to try 7.9, had the camera but within a few hours, so went back to 7.8 to test, all good again. also latest modern does not work that well in the UK, so previous modem was also better for me. 7.8 is pretty solid at the end yif the day :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
I hope you've already realised that something is fu**ed up with this whole camera stuff in our devices and no metter how well camera works for person A the another person B can have always some bugs, FCs, freezes regardless the rom they're using as it's clear that both - AOSP & stock are affected? ;)

All somehow explained by Archi in his thread:

TL;DR? Camera bugs are in most cases random, we don't have enough info to attempt to fix them. This is all about so called "crappy samsung". :D

Of course, there are few fixable by reflashing stock kernel & then flashing custom one again or just rebooting phone (AOSP) but it's still so dirty fix..

Oh! So there's a great chance to repeat once again - never ever buy samsung again. :cool:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] insane2103:
well, I was beginning to think that it was a HW problem, since I tried to replicate the bug and "nothing", I took more than a 100 pictures, using various scenes, with flash, flash in auto, without flash (almost all my lock ups were using the flash), using internal memory, using my class 10 64 giga sd card (sandisk), with WIFI on, WIFI 3g on... (almost all my lock ups were when I was outside, so, 3g was on)...

nothing, the camera worked like a charm.

BUT, if you can HELP me with that, you said that some people flashed a "samsung stock rom", took 1 picture, them flashed a custom rom and all worked fine, can you explain it a little further?
