First step is to install full bloatware in aroma and also bloatware.zip

If that doesn't work, then you can try to force 320 DPI for your TW launcher in App Settings.

+1.. it is the most stable ML2 version around.. after flashing this ROM.. i tried all other ML2 ROMs but since yesterday I am back on ArchiDroid...

Thans Archi for a wonderful ROM ..:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] paphko:
I was looking for the live logcat, did not find it pre-installed and installed it from play store. However, that was a bad idea because after activating it, my s3 does not boot anymore. The live logcat is shown and then the device is stuck just before the sim unlock screen. My background picture and the time in the statusbar is shown, but that's it. Only a hard reset is possible.

Anyone with similar experiences? Any idea how to fix this (except for restoring latest cwm backup)?

Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
That's the reason why it's not included in latest Sammy's release. Live logcat is available in 2.X only for now.

In fact I've sent a message to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] some time ago about this issue but it looks like he's not interested :(. All depends on him.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] paphko:
Btw, I managed to fix it without backup restore: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49138447&postcount=285
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frozenblade33:
I used app settings to force 320 dpi, didn't help. (I did only this)

I don't want to install full bloatware

So I guess ill just reflesh rom again

Without wipe in order to revert the note 3 tw?

Do you suggest to do so?

Or flashing w/o wipe might cause prblems?

Many thanks for your great support
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Flashing ArchiDroid will overwrite your launcher, wipe shouldn't be required.

Nice ROM!

Hi, first of all I want to greet and thank Archi for this excellent ROM, it's wonderful!

I used to be with Omega since the moment I rooted my phone, and until omega v51 which was based on Sammy faulty 4.3 ROM, rendering my device unusable for day to day use... So I decided to make a radical switch to temasek 's cm11, and was greatly pleased with it as I had never experienced something so smooth on my s3, and it was like a new phone and even if there were some bugs I would have stayed there if it wasn't because camera REALLY sucked, and it is one of the features I most liked of my S3. I reflashed omega, v52,and was pleased to see Samsung had fixed it's fault, but it didn't compared to cm11 performance, so as new year purpose I decided to try something new... And after testing a couple other new roms, I got this one and was very pleased with the personalization options in the installer, and the oc profiles made my phone fly, and it felt almost like Cm, but it also seems to have partially boiled my S3. After installing catlog and rendering my phone unbootable, I reflashed the ROM, but the device was totally unstable, rebooting after 1 or 2 minutes even without oc or with stock Kernel... Flashed omega v53, and it also stayed unstable... So reflashed this rom with battery saving profile, lowered max frequency to 1300 with Boefflas app, and now I'm good, with excellent battery life, nice performance, and have not had reboots since then, two days, so I guess that's it. I already knew my s3 wasn't capable of any oc, as previously I had already had reboots even at 1500 and no uv, but this rom profile worked fine for a while... I know oc damage is my fault, and despite that I think this rom is great, one of the most customized, flexible and smooth roms out there!

Thank you!

I need help in flashing this amazing rom..

I am on Omega v43.5 which is based on 4.1.2 and it has EFS v1...

Now I want to update to Android 4.3 so pls tell me how should I do it? I read some post and sticky about some imei issue for 4.1.2 > 4.3 roms..

Does this has EFS V2 modem included or I will have to flash modem and rom supporting EFS V2 first and then this rom...

Pls clear my confusion.... :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
If you have an old 4.1.2 ROM, you should normally have an old modem by default, using EFS v1.

If you update the modem firmware to a recent revision (MG4 or later), it will automatically convert your EFS to v2, as this newer modem will not work with old EFS v1. The issue appears when you want to flash back an old modem firmware (for example if you want to revert to your old 4.1.2 ROM with its old modem), then the modem tries to read an EFS v1 and fails, as EFS is now v2.

For ArchiDroid, it's not an issue, because you can do what you want when flashing.

- You can flash the ROM without updating the modem, so the ROM will keep your old modem and its EFS v1

- You can flash the ROM with the new modem, and it will automatically update the EFS accordingly

If you want to update the modem and be able to revert to your old 4.1.2 ROM, you may backup your EFS v1 first, so you can restore it after flashing back to 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Do the following steps mate & everything will be allright:

1) backup efs in CWM (in case you would like to go back to 4.1.2 in future)

2) nandroid backup in CWM (in case.. nah, it's always good to have working full nandroid backup!)

3) wipe wipe wipe

4) flash .zip with ArchiDroid

5) IN AD's AROMA

YOU MUST TICK "UPDATE MODEM

" (otherwise you'll finish with lost IMEI/broadcast connectivity)

6) choose whatever you want else to be installed

7) have fun

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
Thanks for ur detailed reply...

It was really helpful..

But I read in OP that it say EFS V2 is required for V1.7 and above...

So that means its compoulsory to update the modem or I can still use my EFS V1 no matter if I am on V1.7 ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gopars:
im on this base

can im flash this room without any worry lost signal or imei maybe .?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Nope, you can't use AD1.7.X with EFS V1 - don't ask me why, ask samsung. ;) Just follow my instruction above & you won't get into any trouble. :cool:

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Yeah, you can.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
Everyting is clear now...

Thanks for those noob friendly steps... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Dude, the more nooby situation would be if you had flashed AD without updating modem and then you would cry here for IMEI lost.. ;) Otherwise everything is OK. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
Successfully flashed the AD v1.7.4.1.

Everything is good here.

Is there any possible way to go back to Default DPI that is 320...

ANd how do I disable the CPU notification on the status bar?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Reflash AD without wipe, choose another DPI & at the end of aroma you'll be asked if you're running AD - answer ofc yes, it won't delete any of your data.

Uninstall, using for example Titanium Backup, app called Cool Tool.

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rafu997:
1. Reflash with no wipe and tick 320 DPI

2. Go to Cool Tool and disable it (red dot)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
And during the installation should I tick again 'Update Modem' in aroma??

And a question in general that since now I am on EFS V2 modem so I can flash any 4.3 rom available for S3 in this forum?? Or every time I will have to flash the new modem??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Nope. ;)

Once flashed you have EFS V2 stays (till you restore you efs v1 backup ofc), no matter which rom. You can flash whatever you want, but be careful with old-dated roms with efs v1 (hopefully there's not too much of them).

It works on other roms senitel and arch 2.x

So install everything if you have no idea why your app doesn't work.

When you find a clue, let us know, I'll make my best to fix it.

archi v1.6.4 is android 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
4.2.2.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Now you can thank ArchiDroid for forcing incompatible samsung apps to 320 DPI, otherwise yo'd get graphical glitches.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baadshahpuneet:
ofcourse yes...i am always thankful to the great developers for the work they do to make our phones worthwhile.

when i change to 240 dpi in z-droid v3 , only dialer , tw home , camera and calculator need dpi to be changed manually either by flashing multi-dpi mods or by xposed .rest everything works without graphic glitches.

so i was wondering if multi-dpi mods of these 4 apps be pre-included so it all works at the setting in aroma.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
There isn't such mod so we have to deal with current situation, wich IMO isn't soo bad. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
There's no such thing as multi-dpi mods, you can have mods for 245 DPI, 280, 240 etc. but never fix for everything at once, Samsung should fix it.

I was using such mods in previous version, only to notice that it works on 240 and doesn't on 280. Finally I decided to force all incompatible apps to 320 DPI, this is the best option for now.

Hey Arch,

When trying to flash the latest experimental, the moment it enters the screen where the actual install begins is says " install finished" after 2 seconds. this is the install log:

Mirror

I´m sorry to ask for this but i can´t find another way to update my phone with my current ISP but with a mirror. Torrent file or dropbox would be awesome. Have been trying for many days and after some minutes my connection to the xda server decreases data transfer till it stops. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Read first page for flashing experimental version, just flash 1.X-STABLE instead.

If you have one of the recent versions, try "adflash" command from terminal, choose 1s and direct mode :).

That's why it's called experimental and not stable ;).

Something wrong, after picking weather widget and Samsung theme and launcher and picked all Samsung's apps, after I restart the stable rom there is no browser or weather widget or radio? can anyone help please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Read notice on bloatware selection screen AGAIN ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] darkshaft:
I read the note but couldn't understand the steps well, so I added the whole file to Sd card and flashed it some of the apps were added but others like web browser weren't added, would appreciate if you can help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
And once... AGAIN ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] darkshaft:
I noticed the problem, after I unzipped what I had was bloatware, and META-INF, without custom bloatware
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You should examine bloatware selection during flashing of ArchiDroid as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] koolshubh:
Can anyone please confirm me if Blue Theme for S3 is working perfectly on this rom??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] darkshaft:
""Now unzip it through 7-zip (other programs may or may not work) to some new folder. You should be able to see some folders like bloatware, custom_bloatware and META-INF. Move to "bloatware" folder, you should see deleted content of /system partition, like a few folders and maybe some files. Select them all and copy them. Now enter to custom_bloatware folder and paste it here. You should get two folders - bloatware and custom_bloatware with the same content, good""

My problem that after unzipping I only have TWO folders META-INF and bloatware WITHOUT custom_bloatware
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
So create it ;).

ArchiDroid 1.7.5

Surprise :cool:

Changelog

ArchiDroid 1.7.5

- Updated base to XWUGML4

- Changed bloatare behaviour in aroma. Unchecked apps will now be removed while checked preserved

- Fixed broken google sync after removing Samsung Calendar from bloatware

- Updated Boeffla Kernel to 5.1-beta12

- Updated Kitkat Revolution (AOSP) Theme to beta4, removed in this release due to incompatibility

- Updated Wanam Xposed to 2.6.2

* ArchiDroid Commons

(Common components shared between 1.X and 2.X)

- [!] Fixed half-broken ArchiDroid Backend with Devil/Googy Kernel

# It...will...never...break...again.

- Improved adflash

# Added extsd support. Adflash will now automatically use extsd if ArchiDroid folder found. This means you need to use extsd mode only once (to create ArchiDroid folder)

# Added better git support. Adflash will now automatically use git mode if GitHub repository already exists in folder detected above

# Added clean option, which removes local repo and temporary folders used for adflash

- Improved adlinux

# Added extsd support. Adlinux automatically checks if you have extsd and if it's supported. Your extsd needs to be formatted in native linux format such as ext4 to be supported, otherwise internal sd is (and must be) used, because debian requires symlink functionality

- Added Googy Max 2 Kernel

- Added Navigation Bar (enabler) build.prop tweak

- Updated cURL to 7.34.0

- Updated LMT to 2.0 RC7

- Updated Devil Kernel to 2.3.2

- Updated MX Player to 1.7.22

- Updated Titanium Backup to 6.1.5.2

- Updated Cool Tool to 5.3.3

- Updated TouchPal X to 5.5.0.1

- Updated PhilZ Touch Recovery to 6.07.9

Real surprise. thanks Archi!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Ouh, forgot to update 1.X-STABLE branch. Give me 3 minutes :). Hope you're not downloading old release through adflash, it should print old changelog anyway.

Done.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rawincer:
I'm on 1.7.4. Just got the "theres a new version" message. Clicked on it, went to "changelog", which was empty, then pressed the back button.

Now it says "Wait..." whenever launch the "Update Me" app. Even if I restart the phone it's the same. Is there a way to fix this?

edit: nevermind, I cleared app cache and it seems normal now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Changelog will always be empty, OTA is only a notification about new version. If you want to dismiss it (for good) then you can uninstall it with Titanium Backup, eventually not even flash during aroma installation wizard.

True ota and delta upgrades are hidden in "adflash" with "git" mode ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DaReDeViL:
That's a surprise ! Googy-Max2 included in the best sammy based custom rom ?

I was proud to include your kernel googy, thank you for kind words and have a great time with ArchiDroid :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yeah, speaking of derps...

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/commit/89f1f03461b5ed52c4ca7db5dc8bc7519076e52d

Googy kernel is unflashable in this version without above patch applied. I backported this patch to 1.X-STABLE branch so if someone is updating through adflash (starting from now on), he'll receive this patch.

Sorry :p. Not going to upload whole 750 MB pack again only for this little fix :p. You can tick stock kernel and then manualy flash .zip with Googy's Kernel of course.

I blame googy for removing boeffla sound :D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] darkshaft:
Am sorry to bother you Archi but am eager to try your ROM, but still cant add bloatware like browser and weather widget etc, my steps:

1-unzipp bloat file then added custom_ware_bloat folder and added all the files in bloatware folder in it.

2- Then zipped everything again.

3- Then flashed ROM

4- Then flashed the zipped file.

and didn't succeed can you guide me please. Thank you.

No problem as long as you don't blame me for the bad weather :p

With reworked bloatware in 1.7.4 and 1.7.5, accuweather and browser IS available in Aroma (directly in rom). Bloatware zip now only contains very rarely used things, such as yahoo widget etc.

You don't need bloatware.zip at all for flashing stock browser and/or accuweather.

I'll probably remove bloatware pack soon, as probably noone flashes bloatware.zip with new reworked bloatware selector in ArchiDroid's aroma. Unless somebody wants yahoo widgets, which are available on my github.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I blame myself, 2.X-E didn't have this bug! :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Awesome

I have to say that this ROM is the very best for our S3... The most stable, smoother and the best battery of all, I can be with the 3G,Wifi and GPS ON all day and when comes the night theres still battery.

But Archi dont exclude the Bloatware please...lol... I love the way it is right now...

THIS ROM GOT THE AWARD OF BEST CUSTOM ROM FOR THE S3 ON MY DREAMS... lol lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerko:
How is the sound in this rom please? Are there any enhancements? Is the quality of the sound tweaked? Are there any apps like viper or similar to help? Thanks

Also can I change the dpi cause The icons are too small for me..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheeezy:
I cant change my lockscreen wallpaper, because there is nothing to open with. The only thing I can do is to set wallpaper in launcher.

Anyone got a solution for me ?

Or can somebody provide a libk where the pictures are in filesystem ?

Also there are so many apks in system/app which I dont know about.

Is there a list or something where I can look up the functions ?

Maybe there are apks I dont need which are running in the background and eating my battery.

I'm having problems flashing the latest rom. I'm updating from 1.7.4.1

Aroma stops at:

setting permissions

set_perm: some changes failed

I will try and reflash the previous version to get the phone working again...anyone knows why I setting permissions failed. Could it be a corrupt download?

***UPDATE***

Just reflashed 1.7.4 and the keyboard is not being installed so only voice commands allowed to input text. STUCK! Anybody knows why? I did install this version before and was fine until now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I just installed 1.7.5 as my primary rom(I run dual boot), only thing being obviously bugged - which probably is in all recent stock based roms - is that I have to set things up using the Samsung stock kernel first, and then install my custom kernel of choice later. Otherwise WiFi will not work. But if done in the right order, like I just said, WiFi is fine!

My current ArchiDroid homescreen:

:good::good::good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheeezy:
I had exactly the same problem.

Just finish the installation without typing anything.

After the setup you can check your settings, where you will

Be able to see, that the sammy keyboard is awkwardly there

Waiting for you to be used.

Kind of stupid bug, cause if you dont log in, your apps

Wont be downloaded automatically...
