Battery drain

I had awful battery drain since 1.7.10 (~25% in 3h with screen off), did a few full wipes and even lived without "apps" for a few days and couldn't figure it out. Then I realized my phone wasn't entering "deep sleep" at all (better battery stats). The reason was this wakelock:

.. that prevented the phone going to deep sleep.

My settings were:

boeffla kernel (archi presets), stock dpi, stock everything rest, no xposed, no tweaks

So I googled a bit and disabled lockscreen torch in Wanam XPosed app (is this setting somewhere in sammy settings?) and wakelock was gone.

Hope this helps if someone has similar problem.

No read/write permission?

I can't seem to edit any system files, or for that matter copy or replace any files. Says permission denied. Anyone has any idea how to get the permissions back?

Root is working?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mahendru1992:
Yup it is. Just checked through root checker
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyosha:
What app do you use to handle files? try root explorer / solid explorer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mahendru1992:
yeah man I already tried es and solid both. Same error. It seems like my phone is rooted but at the same time not rooted at all. LOL. I'm thinking of rooting it again.

Archi Mate,

During Aroma installation, at the last step, while selecting for repartitioning, will it format the internal SD card? I don't see any option for skipping the repartitioning.

Can you please help!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It won't do any repartitioning by default, when all options are set to "current".

You can turn on this feature from Wanam xposed > 4way boot menu. Gravity box has power menu screenshot option
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Install Wanam Xposed. You also need Xposed framework.

System -> select multiwindow apps and check ones you want.

Hi, firstly great ROM archi. But I have a network problem on fresh, full wipe install. It seems to happen only in google play. Every now and then I get "no network" error and need to hit on "retry" a couple times for it to start working again. Does anyone know what could be the problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cheese458:
wrong post
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Try to turn off ArchiDroid adblock first and check if it helps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pjerisimo:
Nope, it didn't do the trick.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rodlane:
I have the same problem with adblock. Everything is blocked and I can't use wifi without disabling it. Is there something I need to do to get it to work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Velogr1992:
Had the same problem.

Enabled nfc and s beam it didn't enable at first then retried and nfc /s beam worked.

But after that I couldn't connect to the Internet via wifi nor with data.

Tried to see Android logger or kernel logger. But I remembered that archi said it won't show anything about adblock.

Reboot fixed the problem for me.

P.s since I had this problem after the transfer of s beam, do you think that adblock got confused since there was a wifi direct connection?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's not connected with adblock then.

Try to use "force local dns" option from archidroid app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pjerisimo:
Yep, what else could be the problem? Google play looses network connection at random times while for example browser seems to work fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'd say ask google, their servers near you may have problems or other similar thing.

Lag/delay

Experiencing small lag in web browsing, text input and changing between programs after last update. Could this be because I didnt wipe or could there be another cause?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Hi,

does anyone know how to modify the values for steps that adjust brightness of the screen? I know the highest is the highest, but also have a feeling that the lowest can go lower. I find the lowest one on white backgrounds still pretty bright when you're in a really dark room (e.g. checkig e-mail when you wake up).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'm using Lux app from store.

Well, this logcat doesn't tell anything in particular, at least for me. It shows an error with bluetooth, but it's system error - nothing to fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fenritz:
I think some other app tries to listen to same bluetooth interface and this causes an error. As I mentioned before this FC is not present in other Sammy roms (tested on Omega and ARHD). So I think we need to seek in other system apps that may cause this, because I can confirm that this is nor because of some user app that I installed because I tested same thing in other roms with exactly same set of user apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Well you can try to find the culprit app then because I'm not sure if anything listens to bluetooth events, I'd start from xposed and it's modules.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
There is a slight bug with multiwindow. Nothing critical but is annoying. When I try to drag an app from the pool of apps to the sidebar for quick access ill end with the wrong app on the sidebar. First time I just figured I picked the wrong app by mistake but after doing this several times it was not. This behavior may or may not occur.

Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
Be sure to go to Xposed Installer and update then enable gravity box there. Then you should be able to use it!

---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

I use twilight app, free on play. Another similar app is lux. They can both control brightness, temperature, and auto adjustments. You can even manually set the specific brightness level depending on ambient light levels.

hi, how to disable virtual butons ?

thanx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Will try. Thanks.

You shouldn't have enabled them in the aroma installer in the first place. You have to edit the build.prop file found in system folder. You'll find the navigation bar line there. Put the value to 0. I think that's the trick but someone may correct me if I'm wrong.

aosp lockscreen shortcuts

Perhaps I am blind... How I can change/add shortucts to aosp lockscreen? :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Has aynone figured out how to keep the phone, contacts and messaging app from the lag that comes when trying to open them?

I've tried to put them resident in memory via App Settings and build.prop but they still lag. :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
How about replacing them? I used to use exdialer a while back and I didn't have that issue. That said, I didn't bother with it anymore since I can cope with the .5 secs it takes to open. I figured I can live with that but I have a bit over than 200 contacts. Can be different if you have many more...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Iqbal Ansari:
Is there anyway to remove the 3 dot menu button and have the navigation bar. I use physical button for menu.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
I might try replacing them but I got used to Samsung phone/contacts/sms apps and they are really good if you ask me. I just don't get it why can't they stay in memory even when I force them to. For this situation to come even more unclear - messaging and contact app are shown in cached processes in application settings. Cached and lag to open? Samsung please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
Heh one more reason not to go samsung next time :p

Actually, exdial had everything samsung had back when I used them, the slide to call/text was a big thing for some and ex had it. Also had a better looking ui imo but thats arguable.

Think its a paid app now but they offer a trial. it might totally be worth a few coins still :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
How did you get aosp lockscreen?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AGiovanni:
App -> ROM Control -> Lockscreen Mods -> Enable AOSP Lockscreen
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
As far as I know there's no aosp lockscreen mod in v1.7.12

//If you use blue theme, head over to it's thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If Blue theme's app doesn't provide you with such option, I'm sure that gravitybox will have that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Try to use app settings xposed module, if you're using non-stock DPI then it's already active with my pre-forced apps.

There's an option for the app to make it resident. This is the best way I'd say, build.prop is not so reliable. Also - lag exists in every sammy's version, this is the app problem and there's nothing we can fix, apart from switching to 2.X base.

Hi, How is battery life at this rom ?:)

For ex. in the 9 hours with plane mode, how much percent discharge?:confused:

Is this rom faster than cyanogenmode?

Which rom is the best in the battery life,& faster?:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Flash it and try it....you won't regret it. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
I've tried that already and after you hold home button and clear all it lags again. It even lags if you don't clear it but move to another app and want to use the phone app again. Then you also get lag.

I've ran into this topic, the OP states he removed this problem. If you have spare time could you look into the zip and see what's it about? I have flashed the said zip and made them resident via Xposed App Settings again and now there is barely any lag and it almost opens instantly. Even after clearing all opened apps. I think they are now really resident.

Link to the topic:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-bestmultitaskingfix-8-multitasking-t1888081

I wouldn't be bugging you with this, but I've tested it just now and it really is a positive change. If it's correct programming wise why not try to implement it in .13?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k6?:
Am I ok to flash themes over this ROM? Or is it best to stick with the bundled ones and do I just upgrade through aroma installer?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
NB1 has higher changelist than NB6, so it's newer even if compiled before NB6.

You can compile a ROM at anytime, for example I can compile Android 4.1.2 for you right now. Is it newest android only because I compiled it today? Here is your answer.

Read /system/etc/hosts file.

If you can't point freedom at /system/archidroid/etc/hosts and you understand that your network will dramatically slow down when using deprecated and obsolete hosts method, you can unlock hosts in ArchiDroid app.

You can flash anything you want, just keep in mind that not everything is compatible and themes in aroma are proven to work.

This mod uses hardswap on your internal memory, which slowly kills your internal memory's life. I'm not interested in that, it's like sacrificing I/O for more memory. You can use it, but on your own risk.

@JustArchi

The adblock feature while flashing ArchiDroid is optionally right?

Host file is always read only no matter if u install adblock or not?

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Adblock is built in ArchiDroid's Backend. However you can lock/unlock hosts and enable/disable adblock from ArchiDroid app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I've installed the s5 flat icons theme, the s5 launcher by sunajkram and s5 quicksettings. They work great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Unlocking hosts would have to be done manually right?

Apologies but pls lemme know if these questions need to be taken to your Q&A thread...

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
The question is what you understand by "manually" - if opening ArchiDroid app and switching the switch is "manual" way for you, then yes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tisazalay:
Sure, use Gravity Box (included in rom ), the last option has it (force hide three button menu). I think there's a stand alone xposed module for that too, but I use gravity box myself.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
By "manually" I meant editing the hosts file actually... My bad... Got it :) Thanks.

Google search FC with google now launcher

Hi Archie.

I've been using this ROM since you released it as a 4.3 based one.

I always added Google Now launcher and used it without issues (even "ok google" voice activation worked.

Since version 1.7.13 Google now launcher plays up. I keep on getting "Google search has stopped" notifications, even though once I dismiss the notification, all is still well beneath it. It's just annoying to have to keep on dismissing it frequently.

I did a completely clean install using Devil kernel, 208 dpi resolution, blue theme and only removing some non-consequential Sammy apps (my standard setup on prior versions as well).

I also tried install without google launcher and adding it manually as I had done without issue in prior releases. This had the same issue.

Anyone else?

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
May I suggest not to remove the Samsung keyboard from the default options? Google one is actually good but only if you type in English all the time. The slide typing doesn't work with my language (portuguese) and I'm guessing it also doesn't with others which gives a far more limited experience. Samsung's does. I know I can just flash it from bloat but I just thought when something gets replaced it makes sense only if it's for something better not worse :)
