What does that mean? I would manually flash it using TWRP. What does "forced update", (I thought that's what flashing a ROM was), and "faking ArchiDroid status" mean?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You'll see when flashing ArchiDroid ;). Nothing to do from recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k-semler:
OK. One more question. If I do the "Faking Archidrod Status", will I be able to get OTA updates, or will I have to manually flash? (I'm downloading ArchiDroid as we speak).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Guys, any thoughts on this question ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If by OTA updates you mean ArchiDroid OTA then of course.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You won't have calendar and will have sync problems.

But if you update straight to ArchiDroid 1.X-EXPERIMENTAL then you won't have calendar and won't have sync problems as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolbuy:
Could you please choose stock keyboard and stock launcher, 320DPI and select all the apps and flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
How about bloatware? All uninstalled?

I'll check when I'm free. As for now we have a small revolution in 2.X ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] t3chg33k:
System UI force closes each time Secure Settings is installed/restored from Google Play/TB/sideloading.

Had this problem with 1.7.3 and now with 1.7.4.1. No other ROM force closed for me after restoring the same set of apps using TB, so I suppose something is missing or conflicting which causes SystemUI to force close each time Home key is long pressed to invoke the multi tasking screen.

Selections in aroma include 280dpi, boeffla kernel with radio, gallery, allshare installed among bloatware.

Need secure settings and helper for some of my tasker profiles, but can't go any further in deciphering the problem considering that I wasted 3 hours and countless reflashes to find the cause. :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You should save your 3 hours by flashing full bloatware pack :p.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] coolbuy:
I usually flash after a normal wipe data/factory reset, Selects bofella kernel, aosp theme, 320 DPI, stock touchwiz, stock samsung keyboard and all the default apps. once the phone restarts it will get to the setup screen then starts continuous bootloop, i tried wiping cache and dalvik cache at this point. but not working!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k-semler:
Sweet! :) Only 33 minutes remaining, then I can flash. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You're using pretty common preset so I really don't think that something is wrong with it but of course I'll check it when I'm free.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Could I install Samsung calendar manually to resolve the sync problem? Am I risking anything by going straight with 1.X Experimental?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No, as experimental doesn't differ much from latest stable, only misc things (at least now).

Android terminal emulator -> su -> adflash 1e direct
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Sorry for my ignorance, what is "Android terminal emulator -> su -> adflash 1e direct" ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
An app preinstalled with ArchiDroid, su and adflash are commands.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
When and for what purpose I need to issue this command ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
For updating to experimental if you want to do so ;).

Please, make some searching, it's already well described in the changelogs and on the first page.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Will do. sorry for wasting your time.

Simple request: Can you put the MD5sum in the OP to the builds, (and as a followup to my post), so I know I got the original file unaltered from the server?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
MD5 sum is available on downloads page and provided by xda servers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k-semler:
When I click the link, it just downloads for me. I don't get an MD5 number verification, or redirected to another page at all.

EDIT: N/M. I just deleted the &task=get part from the URL, and it works.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Of course, because you're hitting direct link. Check the very top of this page ;). ^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Followed the instruction in the OP and created a ZIP file for the 1.x Experimental.

Size is 766,741,699 bytes

MD5 is 8DC0163DEE33A2DCE53FB1DCFC3A99E3

Is there a way to confirm if this correct ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] angelus249:
Yes. Your red archidroid boot screen came up several times ;)

But like I said. It's a minor issue.

Haha yes ;)

Another... issue?! Is it intentional that not even default sounds/ringtones or stock wallpapers come along an installation? I installed moat of the stock/bloatware apps, but didn't find a checkbox to (un) select sounds/wallpapers. When I change the background I can only change by selecting a picture from the gallery/file browser.

Using stock theme, touch wiz.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Intended. Most of the people use custom sounds so I left only one chosen by me. You have rest in the bloatware package.

Strange Emergency Calls only after installing Gmail (setting up Google)

Hi,

I love the rom until I try to setup Google.

I seem to have a problem that when I setup Google, and then install GMAIL on the phone (through the Play Store) at the next restart of my phone I get Emergency Calls Only.

I have left it for a number of hours - not installing my Google Account. I can install it for a while, and nothing seems to happen. It typically only starts to go down hill after I have installed Gmail.

The only fix I have figured out so far is a fresh install of the ROM (done that about 10 times now, with different options - and with and without Bloatware).

Anyone have any ideas?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Hey, have you flashed fixed version 1.7.4.

1

?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldendawn:
Yes the version I have flashed is ArchiDroid_V1.7.4.1.zip

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Hi,

I would assume so - because it was working perfectly fine until I start trying to set it up to work. So after flashing for the first time (which I wipe everything, totally clean) it works perfectly fine for a number of hours.... until I start trying to install other software onto it.

I have noticed there is a lockup at the boot up. So it boots to the lock screen, but when I try to unlock the phone locks, and then after I reboot it I get Emergency Calls Only.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Strange. Have you tried bloatware pack?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldendawn:
Yep have tried installing all of it just to be on the safe side - didn't help.

Here is a kicker - I have found that to fix it I have to pull my battery out and reset the phone doing it that way.

This is the first time I have pulled the battery for a while - so I will see how it goes after doing that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Strange. I'm afraid this is unusual issue, you're definitely not the only one to install gmail :eek:.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
no one answered this question i posted 2 weeks ago, so will try again :).

currently I'm on version 1.7.2 stable (with boeffla 5.0-beta2 kernel). everything is great, battery life are more then awesome, nearly no complaints- only the lag when i turn on my phone after deep sleep (it takes sometimes up to 5 +- seconds for the screen to come on). but i can handle it.

is there a reason for me to update to latest version? or of it's not broken, don't fix it? :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldendawn:
Would hope not.

Is there any log I can go to (if it was windows I would know to look at Event Viewer to start with, etc, etc)

Another thing is there a way to check for any files have been changed that shouldn't have been?

Something else I have realised - it appears to be that the locking after restart is happening if the phone is plugged into USB at the time. It isn't happening always, but happens every 5. After that lock - there is a 50% chance that I get Emergency Call. So maybe this has nothing to do with GMAIL after all (or setting up the google accounts) but instead something about restarts while plugged into computer?

Okay take that all back - I did a number of resets (without being plugged into USB) and the problem happened again. I am going to flash the ROM again, and just do a number of resets without anything else installed and see what happens, because I feel it is a problem with resetting now more than google.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Even more strange :eek:. Are you sure that you didn't have such issue on previous roms? Maybe you have kies installed on your PC and removed in your rom? Dunno, really. And logs won't help me, it's not AOSP source to look for problems. I can only suggest to install bloatware pack and untick all bloatware options in aroma, nothing else.

ML2 fixes some problems, also regarding long wakeup. It's always up to you if you want to update or not. I suggest doing nandroid backup from recovery, this way if anything goes wrong with one click you can bring your 1.7.2 back.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldendawn:
Sorry as edited (you might not have seen) the problem isn't USB - it locked up still when restarting without USB plugged in.

I am fresh installing by default (everything that is default I am installing as per that), and want to try restarting it a number of times. Right now it appears restarts is causing the issue (if you restart a number of times).

CM10.2 worked fine on this phone - so don't believe the phone is the problem - but weirder **** has happened... if this fails I will go back to CM10.2 and test.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
i guess it won't hurt to try, like you suggested will do nandroid backup just incase.

when i install the new version, should i fully wipe and install it, or is there a way to update from the current version? how it works best?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
By default ArchiDroid will always propose update if previous version found, even if it's 1.0.

However this mode is absolutely unreliable. That means ArchiDroid will flash successfully, however if you face any FCs or unusual behaviours then full wipe is highly suggested.

What I suggest? Try update, if it won't work then full wipe. The closer you're to the base, the higher chance that it will work flawlessly.

Full wipes are only required when flashing new major version (like upcoming 1.8). Such "big" change indicates that full wipe is absolutely required. Otherwise, you can try and hope for the best.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Can someone who installed 1.x experimental confirm if my MD5 is correct please ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You never will have identical MD5 as somebody else who zipped experimental. Just flash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
After updating to 1.7.4.1, I still had the same issue, so I decided to try NeatROM 6.1 based on MK6. Same issue, S-Voice does not want to send a message.

So I decided to fully flash the latest Samsung stock firmware (GML2) with Odin, and... it still does not work :eek:

So it seems samsung made something wrong with S-Voice messaging feature on 4.3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Will do.

Just curious, if I unzip the same file I downloaded again, and create the compressed archive file again, I will not get the same file size and same MD5 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] knightzz:
Hi Archi, just successfully update from 1.7.2 to 1.7.4.1.

I tried to install google maps but somehow it fails and shows "incompatible with other application using the same shared user ID". Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks

Can I just install this over the top of 1.7.3 or do I need to wipe and start a fresh

[MENTION=4507621]guinux[/MENTION] mirroring not working but i make dirty flash from 1.7.3. You can make full wipe and install with bloatware.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] s14sh3r:
I've flashed 1.7.4.1 three times and and lost root every time. The first two were full wipes, so this last time I did a dirty flash over 1.7.3. Here's how I flashed it: I rebooted into recovery and flashed 1.7.4.1. I didn't reboot, but flashed Yank555 kernel because I have to set the usb charging rate to stock or it causes my usb ports to shut down. Flashed the config only, then flashed the Note 2 camera. Rebooted. I can't remember which program I started, but it said I needed root. I opened SuperSU and it said I needed to re-root. Rebooted into recovery and used the flash root option in Philz. Rebooted, went to the Play store and downloaded Super SU. So far, so good. I just can't figure out what I'm doing to lose root.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Send me /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/Init.log, maybe something is wrong. RunOnce.log as well. Maybe Yank kernel has broken init.d support? Did you checked ROM mode (NOT ramfs mode) on last Yank's question?

The strange fact is that auto-daemon init.d script created by chainfire works while mine doesn't. But it works flawlessly on my boeffla and stock.

It depends on the algorithm, mode and program used. I mean if I use zip in ArchiDroid, and you use 7-zip on your PC then obviously our MD5s will differ. That's why you should rely on MD5 ONLY when installing stable from xda.

Google likes to create such problems. I can only advice to remove it's data and all google apps (if possible), if nothing helps full wipe will.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] astralbee:
thank you - best rom ever

Just wanted to post and say THANKS for what has turned out to be the best, fastest and most stable rom I've used on this device. I had a few issues at first though, and just thought I'd share:

I can confirm that including the Samsung calendar in aroma fixes the google calendar synch issue - thanks for help and advice on this.

I've experienced shocking issues with intermittent freezing and lag on all 4.3 samsung roms I have tried, which have all been cured by switching away from the zzzmove governor. Switching away from it hasn't been that easy either - using the config app doesn't seem to cure it but reflashing the kernel with a new default always does. Am I the only one with this issue? zzzmove seems to be everybody's favourite cpu governor at the moment so it seems unlikely it could cause these problems for me, and yet it does!

Lastly I've flashed 1.7.4.1 4 times now with full wipe each time, and the issues I had with this rom not displaying the correct dpi seem to be do to with selecting the Yank kernel in the aroma install. Once I figured this I did a flash with the default kernel, and then flashed the yank kernel (which I prefer to use for the reason above) afterwards.

Regards.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
I'm still on 1.7.3 with Beoffla default settings (Archi default) and had seen the intermittent freezing at least twice every day, and only re-boot gets the phone back to normal.

Not sure what is causing this problem. Planning to flash 1.x experimental later today.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] edodo:
No problem, as long as I can take it from the bloatware ... :)

the second thing is actually very simple (and I also added it manualy) - just modify /system/csc/feature.xml by adding

<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>999</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>

took it from here. (credit to dorutec)

Thanks,

Edo
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Thanks. I'll take a look and add it as tweak :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's the right time guys...

Version 1.5 has been released and considered as next stable, with many fixes, new baseband and a few new things, nothing much but still worth a flash I guess.

According to Samsung's stance we should get official 4.2.2 Android in June, so this is probably the last version on Android 4.1.2. Don't expect new version to soon because many things will need proper tests and adaptation to new firmware. I'd say that a month is a minimum ;).

I've also updated "Known Issues" section on the first page, nothing new I'd say but still some little problems which may or may not arrive.

Have fun with newest ArchiDroid.

1.5

- [!] Fixed VERY important permission problems with CrossBreeder in aroma. All users with CrossBreeder are highly advised to upgrade. It's not anything urgent but CrossBreeder probably didn't work properly in past versions.

- [!] Added many performance tweaks, cleaned everything what could be cleaned and basicly rom is now smoother than ever, thanks to CrossBreeder fix as well.

- Updated baseband to XXEMD2, powered by Android Revolution HD 26.0

- Updated ZeroWakeUp Delay to XXEMD2 (Yes, it's static so it needs updating as well)

- Updated JKay Framework to XXEMD2 baseband (Still newest 14.94 version)

- Updated Shark kernel to A16.1

- Updated Yank kernel to 3.3k

- Updated JB Domination theme to 2.0

- Updated LMT to 1.99

- Updated Greenify to 1.8

- Updated TouchPal Keyboard to 5.4.1.0

- Added an option to install JKay's Deluxe Settings Lite with unconfigured preset. This was requested directly by JKay, preconfigured option still remains as default one.

- Added NoIncreasingRingtone xposed module.

- Added Unlimited Contacts Tweak, huge thanks to [MENTION=1419345]edodo[/MENTION] for that. It's turned on by default (available in ArchiDroid Tweaks)

- Fixed one misc cosmetic problem with ac!d build.prop. It should work from now on.

- Fixed one misc cosmetic problem with portable browser, being not fully displayed on 320 dpi.

- Added some additional misc lanes to acid config information in aroma.

- Added changelog view to aroma.

- Updated bootloader to XXEMD2 (Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I think that it's impossible to flash bootloader directly through aroma. Probably I'll remove this feature soon).

- I've turned off debug log and verbose for my permission fix implemented in 1.4.2. It looks like everything is fine.

- [STABLE] CrossBreeder has been considered as stable (once again) due to recent fixes.

- [STABLE] AC!D Sound System has been considered as stable due to recent fixes.

Stable: ArchiDroid 1.5 GD DF | MD5: cd03ed190818db93aae3d68c983de223
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eden1988:
Would I be able to save my settings after I flashed v1.5? Cause sometimes a flash might override some of my previous settings, and it would take me quite some time to reconfigure again. Do I need to check those apps that I selected in the previous version or I can just ignore them?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gkhushal:
And what about Battery back up ..?

What's the screen on time .??

Which kernel do you think is best I need battery as well as performance and stability. .??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yeah it depends on the app I'd say. It's best to make a backup using Titanium Backup of the apps you would like to save and then try to restore the app settings after reflash. I'm always doing that and it works perfectly but remember that in some cases programs may not be fully compatible with that, especially samsung programs.

But usually it works like a charm. And wipe is highly advised for flashing 1.5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eden1988:
I wonder why the aroma installer hanged at 93% when installing CrossBreeder at Extract:/system/xbin/haveged, I've let it stay for 10-15 mins but still the same thing :(

Edit: Ok after rebooting and reflashing it works again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's known issue, just hold on power button for about 5 seconds and repeat flashing. We're working on that with [MENTION=2899970]idcrisis[/MENTION].

Boeffla kernel is very smooth and batterisaving with ArchiDroid , Link ::::

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gkhushal:
Thanks

But, i am using it but I need an alternative I don't need much customizations and battery and performance should be better than stock..??

What do you say about adam's or any other alt ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'd say that in terms of battery Yank with his governor is the best shot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] temo44:
What does crossbreeder actually do out of the box? Can't seem to find it anywhere
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's an alternative to Seeder, which you may know. Basicly Seeder is a "software" way to enlarge entropy pool, while CrossBreeder is a"hardware" way to do it. You have better performance, less battery drain and many more benefits. I have a link to a topic directly in features tab, take a look if you wish.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodoma:
Does ArchiDroid 1.4 not have live wallpaper selector?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
1.5 neither - it's included in my bloatware.zip and you need to install it manualy. I considered it as heavy battery drain and moved to bloatware. But of course that's not a problem and I made this zip file for all users to allow easy way for installing removed things. Remember that I can't make universal bloatware package because every person uses different things ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TECH NIQUE:
Rom seems good gonna give it a shot
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
I just started using crossbreeder. Just flashed it about an hour ago. Do you use it yourself archi? You'd recommend it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yes I'm personally using it since the very first implementation in ArchiDroid and in my honest opinion it's much better than Seeder, mostly because it causes much less battery drain than "software" way to enlarge entropy pool. Also it has a very nice implementation, I can include it directly in ArchiDroid (as you see) and basicly it's... how should I put it... included directly in the OS, init.d script and executed directly by the kernel instead of "software" way executing by Android System.

As always every person has different stance on that but for me it's the best way to enlarge android's entropy pool. And of course to be honest seeder isn't "that worse" than CrossBreeder, it just lacks some hardware implementation and it's more like workaround than actual fix or improvement/tweak.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodoma:
Hmm yeah I guessed. If it's not a huge amount of trouble for you or perhaps someone else, do you mind attaching it here for me? I'd really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Strange, kernel shouldn't be the problem here but non-executed init.d may.
