add samsung account

best rom i have tried ever archi

Thanks a lot!!!!

HAve been using since 1.7.4

Just one little niggle. I have looked all through the thread and haven't found an answer otherwise I wouldn't ask.

Superfast updates as well. can't beat ad!!!

I have forced update from 1.7.7 and can't add samsung account

It just shows accounts already added like google dropvox etc.

Tried flashing bloatware but got lag and fc.

Anyway to add Samsung account without clean install?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
Actually, this should work. Just read der teufels post. It contains a tutorial on how to setup everything. It suggests a normal install of your favorite rom and then kernel and recovery install, then backup, format to f2fs and restore backup. So before you install the kernel and recovery, you could have already set up your rom, so that the camera works with custom kernels.

Hi there, first of all thanks for the rom, flashed today and its looking good, but i have 1 suggestion. Could you put on the restar menu options something like restart to recovery fast restart restart or restart to download mode?

Thanks and keep the good work

Is there any plan to add ASOP theme back into 1.7.8 or future releases, or is this entirely dependent on someone else's work??

I suppose he's asking due to the fact he has Blue Theme. And unfortunetely wanam xposed isn't fully compatible with that mod. In that case you must flash

[Galaxy S III Android Development] coto39:
It's working ok for me. on stock theme. I think the theme is causing the FC, maybe some icons are corrupted/lost. Check on ABB theme thread if anyone reported problems with calculator app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alatariell:
Hey Arch,

Thanks again for 1.7.8, working great. Only problem i am having is the fc of the exchange settings. I spended a few hours figuring out what is missing from the bloatware what results in the fc.

The exchange app looks directly for the sound file "Postman". The "Postman" sound file is already in your rom but its not in the location the app looks for.

to fix it:

1) Copy S_Postman.ogg from the bloatware pack to /system/media/audio/notification directory

2) reboot your phone

3) no more fc when entering the exchange settings

Can you add this file again in 1.7.9 again Arch?

I have a file transfer problem.

I connect my phone to a PC via USB. The phone is recognized as an MTP device and I can access all the files and folders on both internal and SD memory. I am also able to transfer MP3s to both device or external memory.

The problem is that the MP3 does not work. The Poweramp gives me an error and goes to the next track. The song is there, everything looks normalm but it won't play. The same MP3 plays on PC. What can be wrong?

Thanks!

hello, i have already asked this but no one has taken me seriously...

how do you update this rom?

i have done a clean install of the rom, mostly default settings, nova launcher, some bloatware, etc. and the rom works flawless and now i would like to update it... first of all im interested how "update me" application is going to help me with this? so far only thing it managed to do is notify me about new rom version... when it was said OTA update i didnt really understand that as an app that only links to developer download page but ok...

now i downloaded new rom version, put it on sdcard, start the install, install recognizes at some point that it should do only update but no matter what i select i will end up with a half baked rom... my device settings will be altered, most of my bloatware will get uninstalled and i dont really see why, most of my widgets will require setup again, desktop and folders will get all messed up but at least nova can restore that...

so, what am i doing wrong? is there a way to update this rom without modifying my system settings and/or uninstalling my bloatware (S memo), like only updating the stuff thats actually new plus some unwanted reinstalls? i guess the batter preset is messing with my sistem settings but is there a way to not select any preset, just leave as is?

any help would be appriciated

oh yeah, it also replaces my paid nova launcher with the free version, if i select touchwiz it will also delete nova and if i select no launcher... guess what.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If you want to be taken seriously, then ask this question is proper thread, development thread is not the right place to ask such questions.

In short: Flashing ANY rom includes wiping /system partition. And bloatware is stored in /system, so guess what. Also if you want all your settings untouched, then don't tick forced update mode.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Finally I managed to clean-up this thread. Now it's looking nice :). Have fun reading OP.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Few tips to try out:

#1 go to /system/archidroid/scripts and perform enabledisable<blahblah>.sh script using for example Root Browser

#2 reflash AD with force update mode

#3 give a try to MinMinGuard module

IMO at least one of the steps given above should do a trick for you.. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kemby13:
Thanks m8! :good:

I think i'll try MinMin and see how it goes, if nothing else i can always reflash the rom ;)

If you deleted ArchiDroid Init, then definitely you'll have no root and no adblock, and no ArchiDroid backend. Flashing root package is a workaround only to one problem, not the broken backend.

Today I've discovered some promising theme, maybe it's worth testing it/implementing? Just an idea, all the more due to the fact domination theme was icredibly well-looking custom theme in 4.1.2'times. Here is original post:

And here optimistic news:

How do you feel about that? Indeed worth checking it out?

Hi,

After having a few minor problems with ultima 16 I decided to try your ROM 1.7.6 and it worked great. Then I tried to update it using 1.7.7 and I selected custom install, but also update. I did not wipe. The phone then just boot looped. I tried again doing a full with INC internel memory. and it still boot looped. I then downloaded several other roms, non of which i was able to get to boot, after wiping everything again (not my extsdcard tho)

Then frustrated, I restored a backup of ultima 16, it worked and booted and all that, I've been using my phone like that just fine for a while. Then i tried to install 1.7.7 over that, and it failed exactly the same. No errors displayed during install upto this point. So i restored ultima (i checked other older nandroids worked too).

So been like that for a while. Then doday I spotted 1.7.8. I downloaded, checked the md5 sum, copied to exsdcard, wiped my device inc internal memory, then i did a custom install, and selected install mode, first time I picked as i wanted. Then the second i left all the options as default. however these 2 times i saw an error, and have saved the log from the second attempt. It will not boot. Its also worth noting, that recovery asks me do i want to fix root on reboot... i picked no. It just boot loops and eventually loads recovery.

adb just says waiting for device.

what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MuerteDiablo:
Update your recovery to the latest version. It is probably outdated.

The set_metadata_recursive error is usually because of that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Mate, as stated above, the problem is caused by outdated recovery, which was being reminded here like a thousand times. ;)

Yeah that did it. tyvm

I do find it odd that twrp doesnt work though, always loved it, never had a problem with it till now...

[edit]

do not presume i did not read the q&a because i did. I already had the latest recovery of twrp 2.6.3.0 before reinstalling it, which the q&a suggested would work. I know you said it in a pleasant manner, but still you were presuming me to be a noob, please try n avoid that.

[/edit]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Sorry mate, but too many complaints have appeared till now about setmetadata error/other errors related with S3 owner's outdated recovery that I'm forced to react for each simillar case like that. "Update your recovery, try with PhilZ" - IT ALWAYS WORKS, that's sad, but unfortunetely real truth these days. I've never felt any strong need to try out TWRP, cause, imagine, I'm using philz about year & till now no problems.

Apart from that I consider myself not to be as rude as you wrote, trust me. ;)

Ask [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], I'm sure he would fully understand my behaviour.. :D

Maybe in future posts about recoveries failures will be gone, till then I'll be repeating that damn boring & overtalked sentence about updating CWM to the latest philz. Even in case somebody doesn't acts as if he was a, so called, "noob". :)

Peace, I dint't mean to bother you. :cowboy:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattyyey:
Trust me a completely understand too, back in the days of froyo and gingerbread I did my share of question threads, theming ports and the like for villianrom on the G2 touch. I have since taken a backseat due to working more, but in my time I have seen many people become jaded by the unending ensault of repetitive questions. I forget who told me this, might have been pulsar, but use words like, probably, usually, commonly; which do not directly imply that they are a noob., you never know, like me, they might just appear to be one :P lmfao

I personally have been using twrp since my i got my s3 18 months ago (not sure if i had it on my HTC desire even b4 that) and have NEVER had a problem with it, till now...

I dont consider you rude, but that commentary was presumptuous. :silly: anyway off topic, so ill shut up now. problem solve tyvm every1

I prefer TWRP too and had the same problem with metadata on 1.7.7. I fixed it by installing Philz but I am looking forward to going back to TWRP. I haven't filed a bug report with them but they should be aware of it already.

By the way on the FIRST page of this thread Philz is mentioned as a requirement because of this same error.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
This error indicates a problem with recovery. You can format your /system partition manually, and then try again (as this should clear all blocks and journal), however it may not help.

I'm always proposing PhilZ to everyone, because it's my favourite recovery, but I also respect user's choice, because the whole xda is about the choice. Unfortunately in the same time I can't assure you that you won't run into problems with other recoveries, as I'm not testing them. If you ask me, flash latest PhilZ and I'm nearly sure that this problem disappears.

I'll release ArchiDroid 2.x based on CyanogenMod in a few days. All users will get a notification by UpdateME apk but will stay at stock branch. I'm nearly ready to go ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
ArchiDroid 2.0.0 is out!

ArchiDroid 2.X vs. ArchiDroid 1.X

At the moment you can find two totally different roms, known as ArchiDroid 2.X and ArchiDroid 1.X. The main difference is that ArchiDroid 2.X is based on CyanogenMod, while ArchiDroid 1.X is based on Stock Samsung. These are two totally different systems.

My stance is clear. I'm actively developing ArchiDroid 2.X and merging (backporting) important changes/enhances/features into 1.X branch. This doesn't mean that I'm abandoning ArchiDroid 1.X, no. I just want to say that updates provided by Samsung are ultra rare and doesn't change nearly anything. Take a look - we still didn't get official Android 4.2.2 but we have already a leaks of Android 4.3. And day by day Samsung will be dropping "support" for SGS3 even more. That's a fact. Also personally I'm a big fan of open source and community projects and that's the reason why I prefer AD 2.X.

Personally I'm using ArchiDroid 2.X everyday because I like it much more than "old" ArchiDroid 1.X. But it's still up to you to decide which ArchiDroid you want. To help you with that decision I'll try to list some pros of both versions. Pros from ArchiDroid 2.X are of course cons of ArchiDroid 1.X and vice versa.

ArchiDroid 2.X

Based on latest Temasek's Unofficial CyanogenMod Build | Community-Driven

Pure Android experience. Very "light" system.

Much better performance

Much more free ram

Much better battery life in deep sleep

Often updates, cutting-edge functions, modern environment.

ArchiDroid 1.X

Based on latest Android Revolution HD | Samsung-Driven

Samsung Drivers, better compatibility with a phone f.e. better photos quality

Samsung-Specific functions f.e. SmartStay, AllShare, MultiWindow and more.

Slightly better battery life in normal use (non-deep sleep)

Conclusion:

If you don't need Samsung functions or you can live without them then definitely choose ArchiDroid 2.X

If you really need Samsung functions and can't live without them or for some reason don't like CyanogenMod then you can choose ArchiDroid 1.X

If you're interested feel free to check ArchiDroid 2.0.0. All users from 1.X-STABLE branch will still get latest 1.X-STABLE updates.

Whats the best way to upgrade from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3? Just wipe dalvik and cache and go with normal install procedure?

I don't have time today to do a complete wipe :)

Thx.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Simply install without wipe and don't tick "wipe data" in aroma. ArchiDroid should automatically clear cache and dalvik with such installation.
