[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

Installed your ROM today using PhilZ Advanced Recovery Touch 6. Did a factory reset by performing Clean to install new rom.

Installed custom bloatware (just the Digital Clock widget & SNS).

Rebooted and everything seemed to be worry ok.

Then I rebooted back into recovery and restored my data from my previous ROM ARHD v40 (JB 4.3 - XXUGMJ9). Wiped both caches. Rebooted.

All seemed to be ok... But then I started facing weird behavior. The digital clock widgets were no where to be seen (not sure why). Random shutdown. Random soft rebooting. Hanging etc.

Realized there's a file in custom bloatware folder called "placefolder" or something like that. What's that for?

I'm back on ARHD v40 (thanks to Nandroid backup).

What am I doing wrong?

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Are you serious? You're restoring /data from totally different ROM and you're asking what's wrong?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Wouldn't that just restore your menu settings, app and app data? Hmmm...

Need I just do a TB restore in that case?

Kindly let me know.

Also I realized that Google Play on your ROM looks so much different from the one on my current ROM for some reason. Not only does it have a dark theme to it... But "price" for paid apps is shown in Arabic for me. I've never faced such a thing with other ROM's.

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Please, stay with your current ROM.

Or at least don't restore /data from totally different rom and ask why :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
With all due respect dev... I really want to make the switch.

You made it clear that I shouldn't restore /data from another ROM. Got it. Will follow.

I'm not a n00b but I don't know it all either. Would appreciate if you could be a little polite / tolerant to users such as myself.

Thanks.

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I am polite and tolerant. But in the same time I spent a lot of time to write Q&A and answering nearly all possible questions, which someone would like to ask. You're asking about VERY common thing shared across all roms and android itself, and if you want me to be polite, post this question in proper ArchiDroid's Q&A thread, not development one.

This thread should be used for solutions, ongoing development, eventually development questions. And while I really don't mind users asking a bit more *advanced* questions here as well, I really don't want to answer questions which are already answered either here or in Q&A thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
My bad for posting in wrong thread. Thanks.

I did check that thread but didn't see anything for bloatware either.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] naathaanb96:
in your current rom, backup apps and data with Titanium, sync contacts with google, use sms backup and restore for texts. then triple wipe when coming to this rom to make sure none of your bloat is left over and everything should be fine.

ArchiDroid 1.7.9

Changelog

ArchiDroid 1.7.9

- Updated base to XXUGNA7

- Readded Kitkat Revolution theme, as promised in the previous release, version Beta6

- Fixed facebook push notifications, SNS was missing, thanks to [MENTION=4277809]GrimPivo[/MENTION]

- Fixed lock screen clock, KeyguardWidget was missing

- Fixed exchange FC, S_Postman was missing, thanks to [MENTION=4103267]alatariell[/MENTION]

- Fixed SecBrowser being unable to show files during download

- Updated Bloatware flasher to V1.3 - Implemented F2FS-friendly method of flashing, fixed some cosmetic things

- Updated Yank kernel to 4.1c

- Updated Archi's Boeffla presets

* ArchiDroid Commons

- [!] Implemented ArchiDroid Partition Wizard and full F2FS support for /system /preload /cache(*) /data(*)

# Option for reformatting to F2FS is only available if your custom recovery and chosen kernel support it

# Reformatting is optional, by default ArchiDroid won't perform any action

# (*) /cache is not being able to reformat back to ext4 from ArchiDroid Partition Wizard, while you can't reformat /data at all if you're flashing from internal sd card. This is on my todo

- [!] Reworked recovery flashing

# Now you can flash recovery TRULY before ArchiDroid flashing

# If you choose recovery flashing option, ArchiDroid won't be flashed at all, instead, it will flash your recovery and then reboot it (recovery)

# If any recovery update will be needed in the future, this way you won't need to do it manually anymore (as long as proper recovery is available in ArchiDroid)

- Added Devil's Recovery

# This is the only recovery with F2FS support for now, you can use above reworked method to flash it right from ArchiDroid itself

- ADBLOCK: Added FORCE_LOCAL_DNSES, which may be useful in case of wrong answers from global DNSes but good from local ones, which are slower than global ones. Disabled by default

- Fixed AdBlock not working on some kernels

- Enabled SuperSU Pro features for all (shh!)

- Updated Devil Kernel to 2.4.8e

- Updated SuperSU to 1.93

Pro tip: Remember that you can also use adflash tool to download stable/experimental versions directly from github. Launch Android Terminal Emulator, type "su" and then "adflash" to learn more!

Download

Stable: ArchiDroid 1.7.9 XDA

Oldstable: ArchiDroid 1.6.4 XDA

damn! i just installed 1.7.8 last night. dumb question, but is this no-wipe? i know wiping is always suggested, but i just got things setup! argh haha
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
F2FS won't be available for you anyway.

Up to you, you can try, but in case of problems you know what to do.

Can AD stable be downloaded in github as zip (I see a difference of 200Mb) in xda ~870mb and github ~1.10Gb

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Screenshots are very specific, because ArchiDroid includes now 3 custom themes, with stock it's 4.

Also, you have one above.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Of course. If you have 1.X-S repo then you can use delta upgrades.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
Delta upgrades??

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
git pull.

Also, AD on GitHub includes __dont_include folder, with full bloatware.

No problem about stability true? No fc?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's stable as rock and smooth as silk.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
The delta updates may affect to stability I mean...or no problem? If I want to download the ROM first time you recommend to download in xda?(which not have delta updates?)

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No, they can't. The final effect is the same as official zip.

And of course you need to download the whole rom for the first time...

Also, in case of further questions, you should move to Q&A thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] highwar:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jesterpaul:
I've run into a snag with 1.7.9.

I've got it installed primary ROM on latest dual-boot devil recovery, with f2fs formatted file system. I had 1.7.8 running perfectly this way today.

I tried dirty flash first, but a lot of options such as dpi settings and blue theme.

So I wiped for a clean ROM install, and did a clean installation.

Even with this method aroma installer advises that some settings failed. When I boot I have enormous icons (guessing resolution over 320), even though I selected 280. Also it boots with stock theme and bootanimation (not what I selected ).

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
In order to have *#06# code working possibility you must restore from bloatware (download section) these 2 files:

#1 FactoryTest.apk

#2 SecFactoryPhoneTest.apk

Or at least the first one.

I might have another idea.. Keep these 2 apks in /system/app, don't delete them & restore also SelfTestMode.apk. Give feedback, we still have 2 options left: put into /system/app all apps with "test" in their name & flash whole bloatware. :silly: Anyway, try firstly with restoring only selftestmode.apk. :)

NFC works out of the box, Wi-Fi Direct was available during flashing.

And you won't be able to set freedom or adaway if you don't read ArchiDroid functions. I have no idea why you want to install slow and much worse adblock that the DNS adblock bundled with ArchiDroid.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
Lighteffect and inkeffect which come with the aosp theme doesn't work.

there're no problems with wi-fi direct on my side.

Seems like my whole runonce script didn't work for you. Try reflash with another kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Did you start VNC server firstly? adlinux default vnc

I connected without any problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AltairBW:
I really love this rom, it is amazing. But I really hate the black version of Google Play, which appairs everytime I update or reflash the ROM. In addition I really miss the stock ringtones and notification sounds, and I don't want to readd them every time I flash your rom...

To fully understand you - you fixed this by upgrading to 1.7.9 or you fixed it in some way in your 1.7.8 (then what did you finally do?) and decided to upgrade to 1.7.9?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] skodaslx:
Could there be a problem with 1.7.9?

I made clean install. There was no point to change the recovery.

I checked all boxes with Samsung apps. I let the phone boot and after that I flashed full bloatware.

But there was nothing installed. I'm using philz latest.

What could be causing this?

When you flash bloatware pack, ArchiDroid detect will pop up right before flashing option. It tells you that it detected ArchiDroid or not.
