Aight folks, this has been on HECK of a ride! 4.3 is running super nicely so far as we work towards adding some features....

In case you haven't seen the changelog yet, PA Pie and Hybrid Settings were pulled for now.... i'll be adding Hybrid Settings back 1st. Ribbons and Halo are present, Halo took a major update as well, thanks to PA. A new theme is coming, this will be default since it's closest to stock theme.... you guys wanted a blue theme right? ;). Show Annex some love peeps, he's killing the themes! lol.

KeyLimePie theme will be hosted on Google Docs, along with a new theme called KeyLimePurple lol (i think).

So most of you HAVE to be wondering... Mike when can i get my hands on this? Well.... I'm glad you asked guys! S3 and S4 devices will see an update Friday coming.... it WILL be ALPHA, so please don't complain about issues and such!!!

S4 Users guess what???? Headset jack NOW FULLY WORKS! Thanks to CM, they got it working, so expect something close to stability lol.

Stick around peeps, I'm still busy with personal life BUT, I still got you all! Thanks for being patient.... Here's a little "teaser...."

I've tried two 4.3 ROMs today and they all worked fine until I discovered I can't reboot my phone without being stuck on boot and having to reflash every time.

Essentially I hope it doesn't happen with illusion too cause I'm using v2.1 and I love this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :

A behavior similar to stalking.

"Know what some one is doing,

when there home,

where they are,

But its not full out stalking so its stalkerish"

Is anyone having trouble installing the new version of Youtube version 5.0.21?

Seems like the current version is baked into the rom so it doesn't let me uninstall it using app manager and when I forced the uninstall with Titanium Backup, I get an error when I try to install the new version.

Here's a link for the new version if anyone is interested

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/19/download-youtube-for-android-v5-0-21/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
The version on your device came from whatever GApps package you installed, not the ROM itself. Try re-flashing the ROM and the latest GApps for 4.2 from SlimRoms [here]. You don't have to wipe your /data to try this, and you can always restore a backup later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
Not all true, slim gapps messes up signatures so installing them alone will prevent you from being able to update to later ones. Which is why I recommend and Ramsay recommends the regular gapps instead of the Slim ones. Slims are great cause they interact with the dark ui toggle.

You can wipe system in recovery and then re-install the ROM and then gapps from goo.im and you'll be straight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I only suggested Slim's because v8 includes the latest version of everything and works with the Dark UI toggle. You're right though, that's just a temporary fix until the next new version fails to update. Standard GApps won't cause that issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vitalym:
Good thing I made a backup...installing the latest gapps ver 8 broke the play store, it didn't install and restore from titanium backup just sits there spinning
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
If it's any consolation, my /data partition is now fubar and TWRP/CWM can't fix it. (There's ~15 "lost+found" folders in /data/ that according to CD and LS don't actually exist.) I've tried wiping /data from recovery, but it fails, because the "wipe" just deletes every file except /data/media. I tried doing a manual format and that failed too, now I can't boot a ROM or recovery. I'm trying to Odin back to stock and fix all this...

I wish I had been trying to do something interesting at the time, but all I did was wipe /data and reboot when all of this started.

Your Play Store issues were probably because you had a newer version in /system/app than the one that was still sitting in /data/app from before, btw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
Since you're on the subject and nobody has replied to my thread... I'm trying to revert from 4.3 to 4.1.2 TW and I can't seem to take my /data/media/0 and put it in /data/media. It says the move was successful, but nothing seems to have actually moved. Using ES File Explorer. Do you have any idea what's going on? I really think it might be that ES doesn't support 4.3, but Idk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Replied via PM to keep this thread on topic.

EDIT: Also, returning to completely stock via Odin didn't fix anything. At least I can boot into TWRP now, and I'm gonna manually run make_ext4fs and see if that fixes things...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Any thoughts to starting a Q&A thread to maintain dev specific continuity? Or is there one I'm not finding?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
What should be in my 2nd post that's missing? Ramsay doesn't mind users posting things in here he and many others such as myself hate repeating our selves.

I can update my post later tonight, or tomorrow morning. Even though I'm gonna update it completely soon with the release of 4.3 when that drops. Already working on it a little.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Don't think you need one here. These guys are awesome and don't mind questions. Not like some other ROM's. Honestly I never understood the seperate Q&A thread. Why not just have all the info in one spot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
It used to be good but this website is hardly used as dev communication this whole site is a q&a now, and a repetitive one unfortunately.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
For anyone that was curious about what I did to fix my busted /data partition, I simply went into recovery and used mke2fs to rebuild the partition from scratch as EXT2 (yes, this wiped my "internal SD") and then tune2fs to convert it to EXT4. After a couple passes with e2fsck, no more errors were found, so I reinstalled my ROM and everything is back to normal.

To make sure this issue doesn't come back, I've deleted all my old nandroid backups. Time for a fresh start! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joeygee23:
And whats wrong with that? at one point I'm sure you asked the questions that now you can answer. I cant code a lick myself....I was a "noob" but many..many people helped me to truly appreciate the amazing work these devs do!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Who or what are you replying to? If its mt3g....I think the point was questions are fine to ask. The issue comes when no one does a quick search and the same questions get asked over n over

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
If you guys are using the slim gapps that's why, they have different packages signed differently, once again why I recommend the simple gapps from goo.im.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
That happens when you use modified GApps packages (the Slim "toggleable" ones cause this), for most of the affected apps you can just remove your version from /system/app and then install the new one from the Play Store after a reboot. In some cases, you'll need to re-flash with unmodified GApps, and the only way to do that correctly is a full ROM reinstall.

hey guys sooooo i heard from a wind whispers 4.3 is gonna be released today ??? LMAO jk im patiently waiting for 4.3..

But i did have a question in regards to 4.2.2 v2.1 for some reason when making phone calls if the phone proximity sensor shuts downd the screen and i try to turn back on the screen ill get a reboot, its random its no big deal but i was wondering if this is also occuring in 4.3 rom, or if it might be setting in 4.2.2 ive search the thread and the q&a forum still a nogo, but i am running v2.1/w ktoonez

thanks guys

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
While we appreciate the report, this is most likely caused by the non-standard kernel. I've never seen similar behavior using the standard kernel. I've repackaged the Illusion v2.1 kernel and posted it [here] if you want to try flashing back to the standard kernel for testing purposes without reflashing the whole ROM. Remember to wipe cache and Dalvik cache after flashing a new kernel.

EDIT: My first version was missing the kernel modules, which caused problems when coming from iX or other kernels that replace the standard modules. I'm uploading a new version now and will update the link shortly.

EDIT2: Link updated. Tested, works properly now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
Just before the release of 4.3 tomorrow, I wanna ask this question before tomorrow.

If I am coming. From v2.1, do I need to wipe everything and then FORMAT DATA? Or no need to format data?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
Do a factory reset and caches is all that's needed... The updater script will wipe /system. My thing was to of in back to stock firmware then reroot and then go to 4.3 so technically I did format /data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
From experience with other ROMs (and my own attempted CM10.2-Illusion mashup... ugh) you usually don't need to format /data, because Android is written to be able to upgrade at any time. Specific apps that are different on 4.2 and 4.3 (dunno of any off-hand though) might not handle the old data gracefully, but most of the time you can upgrade without having to wipe /data.

Of course, there could be some strange incompatibility that'll force you to wipe /data, but that's usually a last resort. Even then, just make a nandroid backup first and pull out the things you DO need with Nandroid Manager after the new ROM is running.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:
So, I was texting my friend when the phone reboots... into a boot loop.

Awesome. Now I have to go find a new ROM to flash, but with my unstable 0.15 mbps at&t DSL connection, that's a bit of a struggle. So I'm sitting here with a useless phone missing out on all sorts of communication.

:(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
That's part of the fun with using a custom ROM that's built from source that might have issues. Not the ROMs fault that you were not as prepared as you should be... This is why backups and external sdcards and such are good to have. Just a heads up, you could've just factory reset in recovery and could've booted up and had it running all over again.

Question to help you and others out in the future, what'd you do to the ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:
I'm sorry... I don't understand your question, are you asking what I did to the ROM while I was using it, or how I got out of this situation?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
What you did to the ROM. Or did you do nothing at all, installed and boom it happened? Sounds like you just came into the thread to vent, instead of looking for a solution?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:
I just installed the ROM a little over two weeks ago, a few random reboots here and there, but I pressed onward, I didn't do anything at all to the software since the day I flashed the ROM. The boot loop just happened out of nowhere, and I was kind of pissed off, so I came to this thread to vent, yes.

I apologize for that, it was impulsive.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mt3g:
No worries, I'd rather help more than just see you pissed off and leave with a bad taste in your mouth of this rom. Only thing I can say without more info is, your phone doesn't like the stock kernel. I was on the ROM for a week on stock didn't have any issues at all, just need a Tmo feature I can't go without cause of work sometimes, so I left Illusion for a little. If you want to go back, or will go back once 4.3 is released if you have reboots, just try different kernels that allow you to adjust voltage tables to make the ROM more stable on your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
To be fair, I've never seen 2.1 randomly reboot on my device (except when I overheat it by using GPS/streaming music over LTE to my car through Bluetooth/charging/screen on/running Ingress all at once for way too long) so I would venture a guess and say that you either used some sort of app that modified part of /system, installed "bad" GApps or another flashable package, or replaced the kernel.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itsmikeramsay:
What's good peeps!! It's Friday!! So as I promised we're pushing for a release today. I've got the device trees for s3 and s4 set up completely, yes this includes jfltexx and i9300 (no delay this time). I'm going to start compiling soon enough to get things updated... Here's what you guys need to know....

1) THIS IS AN ALPHA BUILD!!! I know there's issues. S4 users, irda I'm not sure works 100% yet, CM seems to be doing something extra with it, making it smarter maybe, not sure. Headphones jack is fixed.... S3 users, Focal can take 3-4 pictures at a time!!! If you take more it'll freeze and kill the camera til a reboot is done!

2) I removed Hybrid Settings.... 4.3 rebase fugged it up. The Hybrid Settings I'm adding back is a tad different from PA's Hybrid Settings, nonetheless is based on it...

3) Themes: So there's like 3 themes we currently have going... KLP, Illusion Blue and Illusion Purple, all of which have been done by [MENTION=2014360]Annex1[/MENTION]. Dude is a complete beast!!! They'll be hosted on Google Docs! DO NOT MIRROR THESE THEMES UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!!! If anyone asks where they're located, refer them to the link that will post...

4) I officially got my real estate license!!! What does this mean? Yeah I'm going to be getting busy, but the freedom of schedule and pretty much being my own boss works out, but I'm taking this seriously... getting my hustle on peeps!!! I won't promise weekly builds... but builds will come often, I assure you that much :).

5) This is a 4.3 Based ROM!!! WIPE WIPE WIPE!!! If you're already on a 4.3 based ROM.... WIPE Anyways lol.

Hope you guys enjoy this build... This is Illusion's initial 4.3 release.... Stick around peeps, I'll be updating the threads in a few....
