Any one else having issues with Weebo and tracking? For some reason, when I start tracking (both at work and at home), it doesn't ping any cells. Once tracking has finished, if I try to restart it, I get an error saying "Error determining current Network cell Id". I have to wipe the data/cache in order to begin trying again. Tracking and GPS are on, so I don't understand why nothing is happening.

Battery Drain

I just installed this rom last night and it seems like it's longer then usual for a full charge (8+ hours). And i'm also noticed battery drain happening very quickly. I used to run Synergy Rom and loved the battery life I got with it. can i do anything to help improve my battery life with Avatar Rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
I am not sure about the charging thing other than I have noticed that some roms charge faster than others. As far as battery life goes, if you just flashed it you should probably let it settle for a couple of days before making a definitive decision on battery life. It should get better but if not you probably have a rogue app causing the drain. It might just be the media scanner draining your battery if you store a lot of music/pictures/videos on your phone. This will stop in a day or so if you are patient.

I tried this ROM over the weekend but the GAPPS package kept causing the AOSP keyboard to crash. Makes it hard to walk through the Google setup steps without a keyboard !! :D I didn't see any other reports of this issue either.... The ROM installed fine when I skipped installing GAPPS though. I tried two different GAPPS packages, the one linked as well as a newer one (an 08/13 build for JB). Same results with either one.

Any suggestions ? Not running Google apps isn't practical for me.... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] molivarez3:
I installed avatar rom using TWRP and did a full wipe plus internal storage wipe. I had the issue you were saying when I didn't do the internal storage wipe the first time... so I wiped again plus the internal storage and Installed the Rom and ran (08/13) GAPPS and everything was working fine for me over the weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I didn't wipe internal storage.... I'd be really interested in why that impacts the ROM (I believe you - I tried multiple times).

Bluetooth Issues

So far so good with this ROM, except for Bluetooth. I just installed this ROM yesterday and was able to restore all my apps just fine with TiBu. Everything is working real well and smooth except for Bluetooth. Bluetooth will only work on all speakers if I reboot my phone when getting into my car, otherwise it only plays out of the right side speakers. The other issue is the sound quality and level. They both keep changing throughout playback of music. It will start to play fine and then all of sudden the volume level will spike either high or low and the quality will become distorted. It eventually goes back to normal but again will phase in and out. Make sense? I have currently only tried to play music using Google music app. Also, I am using the Ktoonz kernel. Any ideas what the issue may be? Thanks.

Find out about which apps can run in ART (Android Run Time), the easy way

A quick little post for something we have been working on lately.

Quite a few of you people would have heard about Android Kitkat and the bag of goodies that it brings along with it. One of those important changes though, is very much under the hood. It is called ART or Android Runtime. So what is it, and why is it important to us?

As described by Google, ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. Before this, all these days, every Android application used to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executed files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that the Dalvik replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already has been reported to have sped up apps by around 100%, though it is too early to know the whole truth. It might as well be a placebo till then.

ART straddles an interesting mid-ground between compiled and interpreted code, called ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Currently with Android apps, they are interpreted at runtime every time you open them up. This is slow. (iOS apps, by comparison, are compiled in native code, which is much faster.) With ART enabled, each Android app is compiled to native code when you install it. Then, when it’s time to run the app, it performs with all the speed and responsiveness of a native app.

Now, a lot of developers as well as enthusiasts will be really interested in this thing. It allows Android developers to continue writing the exact same code, and having their apps work across a wide range of hardware specs and form factors — but now their apps will now run significantly faster, feel more responsive, and your device’s battery life should improve.

And this is where our new website, www.androidruntime.com comes in. Right now, in these initial stages, people are still confused as to which apps can run in ART and which cannot. Our website solves this tiny issue by letting you search for any app, and see if ART supports it or not. Missing an app but you know the answer to the question? You can even contribute and add to the supported app list. We will do a quick verification and update the search results.

Now the website is still in its infancy, but we are sure that a lot of people might be interested in it. So spread the word and do what you guys really do best.

Oh, and have a great weekend!

Links

I have been using MIUI for months and was not considering going back to "regular" android until I saw this rom and I really want to try it, it looks awesome! But none of the newer build links work. I went to the avatarrom website but the newest build was from August, it looks like. Will there be updated links?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlkaliV2:
I wanted to report that there is a new nightly 4.3 build available for your phone available right now. It's build avatar-nightly_4.0-ecb1e8c6a9-20131125-NIGHTLY and while I'm over on the Sprint side of the S3 I installed our nightly release and the boot loop is gone. I cannot attest to whether this won't loop on the VZW build, I'm reporting so people can test and report it back so the team knows if they knocked it out.

You can grab the latest rom here: http://s3.avatarrom.com/ (device d2vzw/nightly_4.0 Nov. 26)

If you are interested in what was causing the boot loop and what is going on with the Avatar Rom in general, including why recent build links weren't working, you can check out the blog article here: http://avatarrom.com/explanations-and-facts-our-status-as-of-now/

If you were waiting to try out the 4.3 version of this rom, it's ready now. Enjoy and post successes as well as failures so the team will know if they fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bippi79:
Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

Thanks
