[Galaxy S III Android Development] hyperorb:
Have you tried another battery? Also reset your battery stats.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
I have been having this problem ever since sometime last year. From all the research I've done, I think it is a battery issue. I have not gone to buy a new battery (or test a different battery), because it works fine anyways. Just be careful because I noticed that sometimes, various settings will get reset (ie sometimes I have to remount the external sd).

It seems to me like the battery cannot control voltage at low battery or something, so it does that flickering. Also if you try taking a picture with flash when it is low batt, you will notice that the picture has lines. Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Let the party begin. :cool:

Huge thanks Archi once again! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] giovag7:
Hi, help me to understand: what is the difference by installing apps like greenefy, xposed, mx player etc. in aroma or through the playstore after rom is installed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Comfort. You don't have to install it separately after flashing through Google Play, nothing more. Moreover, Cool Tool comes with Archi's preset, the rest of apps is clean like after first installation with GP.

That's all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DB Nunan83:
Thanks for the advice. I thought it could be the battery. But j thought it could be something to do with the recovery I have installed. Only started when I updated ti latest version of philz. Probably just coincidence but I changed it anyway. Will swap out the battery too.

Archi Kernel

Hi, I'm about to flash 1.7.17 :) indeed long time....

I now have Boeffla Kernel, If I want to try Arch Kernel, as I understand I need to flash it first with stock rom, then flash Arch Kernel Only.

Am I correct?

thanks

Elad
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Nope, just choose ArchiKernel in AD1.7.7 aroma. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
Yeah,first flash archidroid and choose stock kernel and then just archikernel :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyosha:
Now I'm really confused :) got 2 answers in the same time, but different answers :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
oh sorry my bad,I didn't saw you want to install archidroid 1.7.17,yeah as malachow said,just choose archikernel in aroma :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LordBass:
Thanks so much for the update :) Just flashed it.

I'm getting "android is upgrading" on every boot, is this normal?

Also, where can I see the ArchiKernel settings?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Mate, during your first installation of AD1.7.17 just choose the kernel you want - AD installer will perform neccessary wipes needed for kernel change, even if you go with dirty flash not full wipe. :good:

Weird.

Is this happening till now? Try again rebooting.

If so, please do wipe cache, dalvik cache & report back.

To all folks who chose ArchiKernel

​

- kernel settings: for now, the most proper way to tweak kernel is to use terminal, all you want to know is placed in this nice post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53914182&postcount=544

- kernel settings: app? in future - yes, till then don't ask here

- kernel settings: more info? I'd like to invite you to have a look at this AK development thread & check it from time to time: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53914182&postcount=544

Have fun. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LordBass:
Thanks for the info :)

Just wiped cache/dalvik cache and I'm still getting "android is upgrading, starting applications" after every reboot. Should I force the RunOnce when flashing?

Before that I've also tried reinstalling SuperSU just in case (it was showing up twice on my nova launcher for some reason), but there was no change (other than the app showing only once in the launcher, as expected).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Aaand here we might have found the culprit!

As stated in changelog Archi has implemented few major upgrades into his backend so in such cases forcing RunOnce after dirty flash is more than needed.

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davibs:
Just for ask.

Why have you deleted the camera fix, [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] ? It was good for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Maybe due to the fact that workround based on reflashing (without wipes) AD with stock kernel, opening camera app & finally flashing standalone custom kernel you want was far more universal way to fix this. (Honestly speaking I've never heard about any failure of this method). :)

Only guessing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davibs:
Yes, but for the new users i think it's uncomfortable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LordBass:
Good to know :P

I've reflashed on forced update mode and it wasn't successful. After googling a bit more during the flashing I saw some people talking that Lucky Patcher creates .odex files for the apps it patches, and that makes the "Android is upgrading" dialog to appear on every boot. I tried searching the phone for .odex and found them. After I deleted them and wiped dalvik cache again, the problem is gone.

This should be on a sticky post somewhere "search for .odex if you're getting this issue" :P

Thanks for the support, it wasn't an issue with the ROM after all.

TBH, this update is kicking ass performance-wise. It's a very noticeable difference from .16 (maybe it's ArchiKernel doing its work?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LegendM:
Thanks for update archi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyosha:
v1.7.17

As always..............

Is there any way to get Particle effect lock screen in AD V1.7.17
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tohema:
cannot connect to camera

Hi i just installed V1.7.17 , coming from V2.5.2 , i chose archie kernel and i cant use camera,

you want me to try flashing stock kernel from Aroma and then reboot and again flash archie kernel ? (if i want to use archie kernel)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romulandu:
Same problem to me. What would solve?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
#1 reflash AD with stock kernel (without wipes)

#2 open camera app, check if everything is OK

#3 flash standalone custom kernel you want via CWM

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romulandu:
Thank you. It worked.:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BoBoGrEy:
Just to be sure...If I come from a Clean Install with all the wipes, and want to use Archi Kernel, can I choose it in Aroma or do I have to make the steps mentioned? Stock kernel...open camera, and flash custom kernel?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Thank you ;)

May be archi, or you, can help me with some missing commands like how to change Zzmoove profiles, and if anybody wants anything else. This post has just the charging commands, which most people needs.

Thanks again ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Promez:
If you choose archikernel in aroma and you've the camera problem you must follow those steps.

If you prefer you can follow directly the steps
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tohema:
Thank you. i did same, i am on stock kernek now. Small confusion - if i want to install archie kernel what should i install " ArchiKernel_V1.3-Samsung-fixed.zip or ArchiKernel_V1.3-ArchiPort-fixed.zip ? i am on ArchiDroid V1.7.17.

Thanks in Advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
ArchiKernel_V1.3-Samsung-fixed.zip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tohema:
Use stock kernel first and once you boot he Phone , check if cam is working, then flash Archie kernel, separately, as archie removed cam fix from aroma , i am unable to get cam working if i chose custom kernel from aroma.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Because /data/cfw folder is no longer used, at least in my case, hence workaround does nothing since XXUGND5.

Check if you have any magic file there guys, especially if you know you have camera problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
So,is new build any better? Please,only be sure about what's you are saying,and remember,first day,newly flashed ROM will always be faster. And one user told me,brightness bug is not fixed in new build. Maybe it was just done for Brazilians?

Can you help me with that? Hit that problem these days.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davibs:
In this folder i have a file called " SlimISP_BH.bin" .

Do you need this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] renierx:
I had camera problems after damaged camera module replacement (solved by temporarily flashing stock kernel). Now, after dirty-flashing Archidroid, I have two files - SlimISP_BH.bin and SlimISP_GK.bin - in the /data/cfw folder. However, not knowing how magic they are.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Pack them and upload them somewhere for me please.

Perhaps I'll be able to solve this magic camera issue once for everyone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] renierx:
Here they are: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13312190/MagicFiles.zip

Good Luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Thanks, could you open Android Terminal Emulator, then type:

su
cd /data/cfw
busybox ls -la

And make a screenshot? Home + Power.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] renierx:
Here:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Okay, let's test if my theory is right.

For EVERYONE who has problems connecting to camera on ArchiDroid 1.X after full wipe -

Flash AD 1.X with full wipe and custom kernel as usual.

After flashing AD 1.X, flash:

JustArchi_Camera_Fix.zip

If that doesn't work, flash: JustArchi_Camera_Fix_Everything.zip instead.

Please report if it helped.

The most important question is if first package is enough for everyone to fix camera, in other words if nobody needs to fix "everything".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ansonchan:
First zip worked!?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
The download speed is soooo slow at xda!

I wish there was a MEGA link again.

Despite my 100 Mbit/s fibreglass line I'm only loading with ~100 KB/s.... -.- :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LordBass:
On .16 sometimes part of the backend didn't activate for me sometimes. And I had some issues that I think were boeffla related (profile). So, IMO, it's better now.

One way to solve that is to open Lucky Patcher and go through each app starred and ask it to deodex it. Then wipe dalvik cache again and that's it. Then, you can also select to integrate patches to the dalvik cache when you apply them. This way it won't create .odex file, but will be disabled on next dalvik cache wipe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xXNCHAMPXx:
So you guys dirty flash or should I do a clean flash? I'm coming from 1.7.16

hi all, I got 1.7.16 with boeffla, now i install 17 witch archikernel, camera works fine :) everything works, but one question in kernel threed i saw that there isLatest ZZmoove (as default CPU governor with moderate preset) and ROW (as default I/O governor) but i got deafoult pegasusq and noop governor, and i cant use row, i only see noop and deadline
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Because info is outdated.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 4hunter:
great :) so everything is fine

Can someone try this camera mod? It's for Samsung 4.3.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50652193&postcount=15015

If it works, I'm coming over from CM archi droid :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LegendM:
Trust me,there're lots of reasons for using archidroid even if this not work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Flashed this as soon as I found it. Works like a charm. Love that I can choose quickpic instead of stock gallery.

Also,sound quality seems to be really much better.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Thank you so much. Power button shutter definitely works though, right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blue_moon:
Please another mirror link. Xda link is very slow. I couldnt download
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vast09:
It there anywhere else I can download the file? I really want to update. I get 10kbps-20kbps :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
Wrong thread.

Posted to q&a
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
So I finally flashed along with the camera mod. But the power button still turns the screen off. Did you get it to work?

Also, when installing, almost half of my customization options didn't install. Lucky I saved the installation log. Uploading in a bit.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Please do remember that in case you're running any of AD versions right now you can just simply type in terminal:

su

adflash

1s

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I don't know what the hell just happened but my clockwork mod backup was also erased.

here's the log link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0gmqslecirdhpny/ArchiDroid_V1.7.17.zip.log.txt

had to reflash a clean AD 2.5 again and everything installed fine. Thats what I get for trying to fix what's not broken. lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] j0sefuz:
hi! i just installed this rom and i'm loving it.

just a question. is this deodex? thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ste22032:
Not to be rude mate, but this is a development thread, you should have asked this question in Q&A thread, not here, because it has nothing to do with the purpose of this thread...

Edit : .. And yes, it is deodexed ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vast09:
What would that do? Sorry, I don't know much about using terminal.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Just type it, all the neccessary instructions will be providen on the screen after a second.

Anyone else confirming that this works? Most interested in power button shutter.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tohema:
When i get a call , screen will not turn on for 4-5 sec , is there any fix ?

i am on ArchiDroid V1.7.17 with Archie Kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
+1, it happens to me as well but very rare, I think it is because when the screen is off phone goes to deeper sleep and it takes time to wake up when a call comes :)

Sent from my GT-I9300 powered by ArchiDroid and Boeffla Kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romulandu:
Sorry. I flashed directly second zip.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Nah,not working here either.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Phone still turns off when you press power. You have to hold it in order to take the picture which also brings up the power menu. Which is annoying. So no.

Everything else works though.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

I did. But what i needed the most didn't work though which was the power shutter.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro_king:
Try using the zero lag / zero wakeup (or something i forgot the exact name). You can find that while installing the Rom in Aroma installer. Hope that fixes your problem. It basically puts the CPU in sleep mode rather than deep sleep mode. So the lag may reduce :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmac31:
i actually wonder how it effects the battery. cuz i cant even end a call it takes 1-2 sec to screen goes on so its too bad. if it doesnt change alot on battery ill try it.

and is there a way to change gallery shortcut to another without camera mod at upper posts? i just need it stock gallery is just fail.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] regaber:
Then you did not follow Archi's instructions, and your feedback is useless...

He needed to know if first zip works for everyone or not.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] decathlon:
Can somebody tell me why icons and colors are so faded? Or is it just me?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
It will not affect battery life,don't worry so much. Maybe 1% more will be drained by night,though I doubt,but I wouldn't care.

And no,not possible.

And as for calls,I turned off proximity sensor and it is much better. Screen doesn't get turned off and there's no problem with that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmac31:
Are you using zero wakeup thing? And for calls actually I was searching for prox sensor but found we can end call with power button and I chose it it works great thanks anyway
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blue_moon:
Is this method downloading the file or directly installing the rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Something i first observed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:

Thanks for your answer. I'm happier and happier with the community. Never have left me hanging.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zoarquenix:
Hey guys, did you get any random reboots? Been happened to me twice since i flashed the rom yesterday.

The first one is when i wanna change my BBM profile pic and select album gallery.

The second just happened when i want to edit picture using snapseed, and it happened also when i select an album gallery to pick the picture.

I use sony album app though to open / pick the picture. Hmm.. maybe it's because of this app? Hahaha

I had a similar behavior (random reboots) before, and solved it by uninstalling Xposed.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Depressed T.Bear:
I had exactly the same problem. I tried uninstalling several apps like some xposed stuff.

For me the the malefactor was the RC5 of BetterBatteryStats 1.16...

I dunno why Archi put a RC into this rom, the stable version 1.16 is available in this thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmac31:
its probably bbs cuz i never install it and dont have problem with 1.7.17 too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Could anybody confirm that BBS is causing this strange music widget problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gonzakpo:
I don't have your ROM installed, but based on what they wrote, I think that they ment that BBS is the culprit of soft reboots...

The widget problem is unrelated.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Ah well, misread. So the hunt continues.

If anybody finds something related, let me know.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] _mightyI:
Uninstalled xposed and better battery stats and just had a soft reboot. Never happend with 1.7.16. Even with xposed and better battery stats installed...

New build which samsung just released is pointless.

Agreed, probably will revert back to XXUGND5, these UB releases never ended good.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I know the archidroid backend has frandom, but there is also a frandom section in the boeffla kernel settings. If the archidroid back end has frandom enabled is it advised not to enable it in the boeffla kernel settings as well?

Will there be a new update?
