Mmmh for me 1717 is fantastic. Very smooth and fast, even if I use dozens of apps, bugless (for me) and with fantastic battery (archikernel and latest modem). Many thanks, my phone will live forever! !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Hmm i installed the S5 theme from aroma and got the music widget bug and i always picked it during my previous installations.. Maybe that is the culprit? If other people can report what theme they chose and got the bug we can at least narrow it down.. I cant try other themes atm im at work, maybe someone can try the rest and check it?

Edit:

v.1.7.17 for me is rock solid, got it from day one with BBS included and i never got a single reboot or fc or anything. Phone is super responsive super fast and everything runs so smooth..Other than the music widget bug only other thing i had was fonts, greek characters dont follow the font style and stay on the basic font but i just installed a sammy font (rosemary) from custom bloatware and everyhting is back to normal..

+1 for me at Archi for this superb ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nightwing90:
I don't know how you guys are getting on screen time of 3h+ when 48% left :confused:

For me I'm getting only 2h+ when battery is about 10% left :crying:

A few post before some one reported the same issue & [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] already said that it may be due to Custom theme from Aroma. Anyway I don't find any problem with that. For me this rom combined with archi kernel is super stable and faster :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] decathlon:
Can somebody host the file in mega because it's taking ages to download. I have a 100 megas network and in the last two hours it downloaded 5%
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Well i was the one who brought it to Archis attention in Q&A and when he asked me if i was using custom theme i assumed he was asking about custom themes outside the Aroma installer. If that is the case then its my bad for misleading him.

Sorry if i wasted your time looking into the wrong places :crying:

If anyone else can confirm its the S5 theme from aroma or other themes as well, at least we will know which ones got the bug and which dont.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mongox7:
I have never installed a theme other than those proposed in aroma and i have the sms notification issue with V1.7.17.

On V1.7.16, i choose the S5 theme and i had no problem.

For me, this problem starts with V1.7.17.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmac31:
im on s5 theme and since 1.7.17 released even i didnt restart phone it works great for me. i dont think its about s5 theme.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Touche my friend, touche.

I have to admit that i giggled a bit with your gif so my guilt-o-meter went up another 2 points.

As a punishment i am now dirty flashing all themes in aroma to see what works and whatnot.. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noim:
is there any other download link for V1.7.17 ?? like Mega , Firedrive , etc !! i can't seem to download from xda !! :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tisazalay:
You can skip Blue theme, it has the bug... The only reason I use it is because it includes AOSP lockscreen (well also the clear all notification on top). Do You know if there's a flashable AOSP lockscreen or something that works the same?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giovag7:
My phone duration record. Battery is 2 years old!

AD1717, AD kernel, UBUGNF1 modem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Ok so back to back installations with dirty flash same settings everytime only changing the theme in aroma. Posting in order of installations:

1. S5 theme -> music widget

2. Blue theme -> music widget

3. Stock theme-> Notifications! (yay)

4. AOSP theme ->Notifications! (yay)

5. Black theme ->Notifications! (yay)

6. S5 theme (again) -> music widget (booo)

Im going out on a limb here guys and going to say *gasp* its a theme problem.

There you have it i hope i redeemed myself with 1.30 hrs of flashing and my phone is not too angry at me for 10 reflashes in 2 days.. .

Oh well back to stock theme i guess until/unless someone finds a workaround..Goodbye S5 we had some good times, S3 come here you old hag lemme give you a hug.. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scytheb:
For some reason my mobile data connection almost never works, causing me a big problem.

Most of the time I can't even load a webpage even though I get an H+ connection.

I checked the settings with my provider, they are correct, and the phone works fine for calls and wifi.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Try with another modem? :)

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Nope, unless you're running now any other version of AD. If you were to then it would be much easier.

in terminal:

su

adflash

1s

Buy if not then patiently download from crappy XDA source.. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nightwing90:
Mate how is that possible in getting on screen time of 4h+ ?? Did u use greenify or something related to that ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
It's totally normal mate, I get usually at least 5h SOT.

- make sure your battery isn't outdated

- greenify, greenify & once more grrenify

- use ArchiKernel or Boeffla

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giovag7:
I use Greenefy and Gemini to disable autoruns of some apps. Anyway I have many app running (non greenifized) like Automagic, My profile, K9, GReader, Calendar widget, Ivona.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nightwing90:
1. In the case of battery I think the health is fine. Or is there any way to find out ??

2. You mean grenify all apps or the apps that greenify suggest like slow down the device ???

3. Currently on Archi kernel with 1.4Ghz (Stock CPU value)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giovag7:
I greenify only some apps suggested by greenefy (the ones that use gcm) (Facebook, viber, whatsapp, hangsout and similar).

All my greenifized apps
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
Not sure that theme is the culprit as sometimes I get music widget also on stock theme. Very rare must say.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
And did you full wipe on this stock theme? No other third-party mods?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scytheb:
Latest rom for my country had the I9300BOUGNB1 modem. Any ideas where I can get that, or something that works the same?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
1. No other way than just using phone & trying to discover whether how worse your SOT has gone in comparison to your freshly-bought S3 usage.

Oh, there is one thing you can check - how many times you have plugged in your device with this app. In my case I replaced my battery after ~1300 cycles.

2. I'm greenifyholic - I greenify all user apps (unless they're not made for providing me some notifications/alarms - then ofc not) & some system apps (Google Play Services, Google Play). Ah, also I have pro version of greenify which allows me to use GCM notifications even when app is greenified. That's my usage, you can give it a try, but be careful with this hibernating - you can easily omit some improtant notification for example. ;)

3. That's pretty good. Don't change it & wait for AK 1.4 version upcoming. Afaik it will bring us STweaks control :cool:

Hi JustArchi, could those zips bring some improvements to ArchiDroid 2.X too ?

I had a few camera failure in the past days with AD 2.5.2, may those zip files help to solve it ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No, AD 2.X includes it already.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
[MENTION=5264108]malachow[/MENTION], about this app phone info, it says my charger connect is 165, i asume that's wrong, i mean, i use my phone since July 2013, i plug it in every day, sometimes i plug it multiple times because of crappy case, i should have at least 300 counts, is there a possibility that the value has been reset? Afaik values are in bootloader, correct me if i'm wrong and that cannot be deleted with full wiping/flashing rom, kernel.

Also, when you got yourself a new battery, your cycle continued from ~1300 upwards or it reset?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Battery doesn't need to be replaced. Half-year old battery,up to 4.35 SOT on 20%.

Also,no greenify. As for me,greenify was always something like a placebo. It doesn't improve performance or battery. I used it for quite some time,then removed for some reasons,and performance,as well as the battery didn't change at all.

Sometimes,I manage to get up to 2 hours of SOT on 70%,that's 30% with 2hrs,then again 30% with 2hrs,and imagine how much could I get at the end (on 20-15%),if not gaming? Forgetting to make a screenshot,always,though. But I will make one.

At at the end,I understood that it's all about right configuration. I had bad performance and worse battery (something like 2.50-3hrs of SOT) with that configuration. Then I reconfigured everything,and got ultimately smooth performance and this good battery time. Who said that performance and good battery together aren't possible? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Half-year old battery is brand new. There are people with 2 years-battery here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
Before I flashed AD my phone was on warranty claim and came back to me with all stock firmware. That was 3 months ago. After that I rooted it and made mega wipe, all that it is possible except external sd card. After that I flashed AD 1.7.16 with full bloat and xposed framework, everything else stock (launcher, keyboard, theme). Only other mod that I have is Physical Button Music Control 2.6.2 in xposed framework.

I have to say that this music widget appears very rare and I thought that this is maybe due to not properly locked phone when in pocket.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] messia74:
is this in 240 dpi??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
You can choose between three values(240/280/320 afair) in aroma installer. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] messia74:
sorry for the question..but this is on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
It's based on the 'latest' leak XXUFME7 - 4.2.2.

The smoothest stock based rom I've ever used, give it a try, it's totally worth it. :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
TOUCHWIZ MOD

→modify your stock launcher!

→extend the area without changing DPI!

→app drawer & home screen!

Requirements

→any of 1.6.X rom

→STOCK launcher (not nova!)

How to install?

0)

backup

your current SecLauncher2.apk from /system/app in any case

1) download the mod which suits your needs the most from HERE (SCR_OFF = wallpaper scrolling off at home screen)

2) flash it via recovery!

3) reboot system

4) done :good:

Screenshots

→look at attached files! (here's my TW 5x5)​

I've been using it since 1.6 and yeah, it works like a charm with the newest 1.6.4! :victory:

Give it a try, it's worth it. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Just remember that you need to force some apps to use 320 DPI in case of weird graphics on lower DPIs. That's not a problem but some samsung apps don't like being on 240, that's Dialer, Calculator, Contacts, Sound recorder... and TouchWiz if you use it.

Sound recorder freezes when you use it on 240/280 DPI but if you install (and turn on) xposed with App Settings module you can set all above apps 320 DPI and fix all these samsung apps, including FC of sound recorder.

Just in case if somebody would ask "why my dialer is not centered?!" :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] s14sh3r:
Update went smoothly, although I had to go through the update twice, which was totally my fault. I skipped over some settings during the setup and ended up rebooting and doing it again, making sure I chose the ones I wanted. Other than that, no big issues. I had to go through my settings and redo a couple of things. The update reenabled touch sounds, which I had disabled. I had to set up some of my phone settings, although I suspect this was due to me opting for the newer modem. I consider those issues to be so minor, I'm only mentioning them to give a review of the install.

The ROM "feels" great. It's smooth. Battery life is yet to be determined, but I don't expect it to really be any different from the previous ROM. I really, really like the Wanam Xposed settings. I've only played with it a little, but it has a lot of great options.

None of my apps or data was effected in any way with the update. I did backup with titanium first, but I didn't need it. Better safe than sorry though ;)

*EDIT* I forgot to mention, I like the new boot animation.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adnan7khan:
Bingo.....<3

i was going to ask about the Dialer : DD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] paveldroid:
Hello. I was using v1.6.3 and I had problems with NFC. I couldn't use it to transfer files from my phone to another or viceversa. I don't know if it was removed from the ROM (I didn't find any file in the bloatware folder but the "NFCtest" which I don't believe has any effects on it).

Anyway, I'm upgrading now to 1.6.4 and will try again :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marbedMB:
Weird. I've prepared custom bloatware zip as instructed, them flashed cudtom recovery but nothing hapened.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You can always download single files from my github -> https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiD...AL/__dont_include/_bloatware/bloatware/system and put them manualy in proper locations.

However bloatware flasher worked last time I was testing it and nothing changed since then. Maybe check your file structure? Does custom_bloatware contains system folder like bloatware does? Etc?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max4000:
I would love to download this rom. But the xda download page is delivering only about 10kb/s.

Please make mirrors with proper speeds. Thank you.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You have a torrent link, direct download link and github way with 1.X-STABLE/1.X-EXPERIMENTAL branch.

Yeah, noticed. Thank you for the info ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wanhao:
GREAT rom

just tried your 1.6.4 rom ...very good!! thx bro!

one question: any way to make the dial pad fit for 240dpi?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
xposed + per app settings module

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Psst...

In experimental :cool:.

Stable when Wanam releases his build. I just made a quick&dirty ROM. You can find it's base here.

Some things to consider:

1. You need EFS V2*

2. No themes (nothing available yet)

3. No kernels (leak)

4. No custom bootanimations (regression?)

5. No fully debloated yet (new stuff coming from Android 4.3)

That's all for now. It shines and looks pretty stable.

* This and all future sammy's roms won't work with efs v1. It's a good time to make a conversion right now if you're wondering if you need it. AD 1.7 should convert it but only if you use XXEMG4 modem (you can choose it in aroma). MAKE EFS BACKUP FIRST!

Read more here and here
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wanhao:
thanks for your reply, can you tell me which dpi make the dial pad full screen?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Contacts, Phone and something else, can't remember. Maybe only these two.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] beeeto:
Hey Archi

Wanam already uploaded his version and I'm really waiting yours with his base. Will that happen soon? :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If nobody finds the exact reason for this widget I'll need to revert back to XXUGND5, because honestly, this update seems to break more stuff than XX family.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
Just to clarify. I am having this on AD 1.7.16, haven't flashed 1.7.17 jet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giovag7:
Greenefy is not a placebo. It save lot of battery if you are using several social app (like viber, whatsapp, hangouts, facebook, line, wechat, g+ etc.) and in general apps that produces great number of wakelocks. If you don't use lot of this kind of apps you can't see the effect of greenefy. My wife old gs2 has doubled battery duration thanks to greenefy without loose any push notifications thanks to GCM management of greenefy premium.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
:eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Ok so i get a full gif and he gets away with an emoticon..Cmon man.. .

Ok in all seriousness though i couldnt find anyhting else broken and i find v.17 better than the old one. My wi-fi improved as well as in one of my routers i had the unstable wifi icon and needed at least 1 minute every time to connect but with this version i get no such shenanigans.. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Nobody complained about this issue on 1.7.16, so I'm shocked that it suddenly pops up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
I have to admit that I had to catch up with new posts of last few days and somehow missed that this is on latest stable. Otherwise I wouldn't say anything as in my case it doesn't show up that frequent and sure not on every notification and it doesn't bother me that much.

Now I also read the post in Q&A about music widget problem and I have to say that my in my case it is different. When I get music widget on the lockscreen I can open notification bar and just press close button (music controls of stock player in the navigation bar) and the widget goes away. Maybe in my case it has something to do with the xposed module Physical Button Music Control.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mystenes:
I'm on 1.7.17 and without camera fix from 1.7.16 my camera doesn't work at all. I'm not sure if it should be removed as an obsolete option.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scytheb:
Same here. I only got camera working with the "fix everything" zip.

malachow, thanks for all the help, I was about to download and install the XXUGNB1 modem from the site, but I happened to have XXUGND1 on the sd card and tried it first.

This seemed to fix all the problems for me so far, fingers crossed, so if anyone has any data issues try the XXUGND1 modem from Perka's file stash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarti321:
camera does not work also for me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Did you try these proposed fixes for v.17 and nothing worked?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I also get the music widget problem on v1.7.17, and also some soft reboots from time to time. I'm on boeffla
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarti321:
It worked with that fix thanks BUT I HAVE JUST HAD 2 RANDOM SOFT RESTARTS I am using archidroid kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
Did you do a full wipe to install or use force update to v.17?I never had a single reboot with either of those methods since start and i tried both archikernel and boeffla kernel for a couple of days each.

Also i think the devs would like to know which zip did you use to solve the camera issue to try and fix it once and for all for everyone, the first or the second?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarti321:
I did a full wipe and I used the CAMERA ONLY FIX
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mongox7:
The music widget i have

at every reception

of sms disapears as soon as i open the sms so it's not so annoying. BUT, i use Archi 1.x since a long time and it's the first time i have this issue. I'm on archidroid Kernel.

And i agree, my phone is really very smooth since this 1.7.17 version.

Thanks Archi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
People, once again - kernel has nothing to do with this crappy sms widget bug. NOTHING. Blame:

#1 custom theme

#2 xposed

#3 samsung for new shiny fu**** up base.

:good:

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

For me, it's been always something like:

#1 install facebook

#2 use it

#3 after 2hrs checking phone *omg, facebook was running in background whole the time destroying battery life*

#4

#5 greenify

Then, if you consider that in nearest future we will be forced to use not only facebook app standalone but also their massanger with the same behaviour described above..

And that's just one example. ;) I'm glad you can achieve some shiny scores without hibernating but don't try to convince me it's a better idea. :D

Cheers. ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Nope, I'm still on AD default modem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TeosMaoMao:
This guy solved his soft reboot issues a few pages back by uninstalling BBS from this version and installing the stable one from the devs thread, its worth a try and let us know if it worked.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
Another reason for sudden soft reboots may be caused by the xposed framework itself ;)

Since Archi included the experimental version of the framework you can also try to:

Open XPosed Framework app -> uninstall the framework (2.7. experimental1)

Uninstall xposed framework app

Reboot

Get the latest xposed framework app from here

Install the app and then install "stable" version of xposed framework (2.6.1)

Reboot

Activate all your models again

Reboot

Report back if the random softreboots still occur ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mongox7:
I've never said that the issue is caused by the kernel.

I mentioned the kernel i use only to be precise and help Archi in his investigations. :cool:

I use S5 theme from aroma, not a custom theme from nowhere.

I don't use xposed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Since when S5 theme from aroma is not a custom theme?

Hi Archi.. i have installed your stock sammy Ubugne1 and there isn't the soft reboot issue and music player..

I came from 1.7.17 with this issue .. your kernel is perfect.. At this point this issues can be theme related? I have used s5 theme..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yeah, it's definitely the theme.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmac31:
im on 1.7.17 with s5 theme didnt even reboot phone myself since 31.7 there is no problem for me. im not using lockscreen though if its important no soft reboot either. i had some softreboots on 1.7.16 i just dirtyflashed 1.7.17 works awesome so far

ps:im using boeffla maybe its kernel related problem dunno.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vast09:
I just want to report that i haven't had any soft reboots ever with AD. I dirty flashed 1.7.16 without BBS in Aroma (because I downloaded it from the playstore in the previous version of AD) and I'm using the AOSP theme.

The only small problem I had was with the SNS.apk. When ever I would log in with my facebook account it would just show a blank white page after. I downloaded an app that does the same job, so it's not a deal breaker for me.

No force closes or anything!
