anyone encountered a GPS problem?

I'm new to this rom, just last night. today was first time i used waze in it. i kept losing GPS signal, the app kept freezing every few minutes for a short period, but worse of all (& maybe the main cause of those problems) -> the device kept getting very hot, was sure it will FC at any minute!

long story short, it totally ****ed up my trip, instead of a 20Km ride the **** took me 50Km without getting to my destination (the vet). then i said **** it & went back home only to find out waze/gps broke completely, got lost, took me 40 minutes to find the main road, & all I was thinking about is that I should have bought an iPhone lol :D:o:(.

anyway, seriously, any known issues with GPS signle or waze?

went back to omega about an hour ago, in it everything is fine! but the rom is so boring now after i tried yours!

forgot to mention. SGS3 I9300, used latest V1.7.2, using buffalo kernel ultra battery saving settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Danielsson:
so this is experimental?i can flash this guys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Indeed it is, ready for flashing. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Rom couldn't be a problem here. Sorry mate. Which app are you using for GPS?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
I'm using AD 1.7.2 with GPS and both Waze and Maps with no issue. Waze is working perfectly well on my S3 with this ROM and Boeffla kernel v5.1-b1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ciprigeorgiu:
you do know you also have google maps for such situations?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusufjee:
How is the graphics performance with everyone else? I am using liteGX kernel with only boeffla sound support but i am not happy with the graphics performance. Need less to say there are lags in games which were running and should run smoothly as silk. I dont think it has anything to do with the kernel as i have used this kernel with most other ROMS but with archi both the graphics and battery is problem.

Are you guys happy with graphics performance??? if yes, are you guys using boeffla kernel with archi settings?

Samsung just released the new update for 4.3 : http://www.sammobile.com/2013/12/05...-3-update-roll-out-for-galaxy-s-iii-gt-i9300/

Hope for source to be released soon...

We all count on you for cooking the best 4.3 ROM ever for S3 :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
I read that they solved some issues that had on the other update.

Waiting for an update of Archidroid...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] s14sh3r:
Sorry if this is off topic just a little bit, but I have a question.

I read where wanam isn't going to be developing ROMs for the S3 any more. How will this affect this version of Archidroid? I'm loving this ROM and hate to see it stop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

Will we see an update to UGMK6 base when it's available to download ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Don't rush me guys. ArchiDroid never dies. I'm just sad that Wanam stopped supporting SGS3, but if he did, it's his decision. I'll work on my own then :).

Give me some time, AD 1.X is a bit outdated in terms of universal 2.X commits. I'll make my best to bring 1.7.3 soon. Maybe even in a few days.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nomaj:
DL links... are showed up ... UPDATE... and they are fakes! someone posted 4.1.2 rom! i hope that will deserve instant BAN!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:
No rush [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] 1.7.2 is working perfectly :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusufjee:
Ok finally yannk kernel is best with rom so far. Both battery life and graphics have improved.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] s14sh3r:
No rush here. I just appreciate the work you do.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
I see. well, if it's not a rom issues, i will give it another try. the feeling on 4.1.2 rom isn't good anymore after you tried 4.3+!

But it's really strange the device got so hot & all the freezing that happened, never encountered this before.

Will install AD rom again, this time will use google maps instead of ****ty waze.

will drive to work tonight, so will test it.

thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
I think it's ROM issue, but not due to AD. It's for sure, due to the bugs inherited from Samsung stock 4.3 ROM version UGMJ9.

I already have this kind of issue where phone becomes laggy, battery becomes very hot and drains very fast. I need to reboot to stop it and everything comes back to normal.

Hope new release from Samsung (MK6) will solve all these bugs and next AD version will be the absolute ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
I tried google maps on AD 1.7.2 & it worked perfectly this time on the new installation. also, first time using maps, i felt it's better than waze by a lot, much more accurate.

about your comment, if i switch to AD 2.3, it will be this bug free? I preferred 1.7.2 since it's more stable from what i read.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Question!

Any wake up lag / battery drain etc. with Archidroid v1.7.2 & yank kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusufjee:
Havent noticed yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If we're talking about sources, documentation and so, yes, 1.X is more stable in general. However on the other hand 2.X is not unstable, it's more like not everything can work properly sometimes ;).

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] Hi there , Sir.

SurpisiNgly & uNfortuNately it Just damaged my 16gb exterNal memory card :(

How to Recover it? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Did you damage it for good or just a partition stuff?

There's a tool, called fsck. On android it may be e2fsck. You can use it to correct any errors. It should be something like e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk1p1.

It'll be hard to do anything with it from the phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Oh..sorry to hear mate...

But i didnt have such a problem here on my side

No problem yet!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adnan7khan:
I DidN't do aNythiNg Sir..

you kNow.. i have beeN usiNg your ROM siNce start.

ENtered a Park.... got NotificatioN..."damaged SD CARD"

I restarted the phoNe.

it worked fiNe..

after that it agaiN showed... No memory card... iNsert a memory card!!

i haveN't messed up with aNythiNg at all...

well will try to follow your iNstructioNs , Sir.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'd go to recovery, open aroma file manager's terminal and do fsck.

You have it installed with ArchiDroid. If you're using PhilZ just double tap in recovery, otherwise find /sdcard/clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip and flash like a rom.

Also check back of your phone, maybe sd card just ejected.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adnan7khan:
Flashed aromafm.zip

but couldn't find the option of fsck
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Because you need to launch terminal.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Hey there

I've had similar issues with the memory card I'm using. For a good month I had that issue. Nothing I could do but format it completely again and again and again.

And then 1 fine day it quit doing what it did... And it's been over 6 months now... No issues. (touch wood! Hope I just didn't jinx myself!)

Lol...

Anyhoos...

So tempted to flash ArchiDroid v1.x. I'll admit ArchiDroid wasn't my 1st preference. It was more like Android Revolution HD then Wanam Lite and then ArchiDroid.

ARHD v40 was good. But had lag issues using Boeffla with governor as pegasusqplus. Didn't have the patience to keep trying with different kernels as I'm a n00b with kernels. Also managed to see some bloatware (some widgets here and there... That I still regard as bloatware... Lol!)

WanamLite... Well Wanam has gone the Nexus way... So skipping that.

I'm gonna give ArchiDroid a try tomorrow. And go with yank555 kernel as recommended by another xda user on this thread. Can someone advise me on what governor to use and with which profile? I use my phone mainly for whatsapp. Email. Browsing. Not much calls or text messages either.

Also I have my EFS backup on Dropbox... So yayyy!

Just hoping there is no lag or battery issues with ArchiDroid v1.x + yank555 Coz I so wanna be on 4.3 ;)

So sick of 4.1.2 and sick of issues with AOSP like cyanogenmod or AOKP...

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] s14sh3r:
Hope it works out as well for you as it has for me. ArchiDroid 1.7.2 + yank555 has given me no problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Just about to flash...

*fingers crossed*

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
In any case just give a try to boeffla kernel, it's so freakn' awesome too. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Oh I did use Boeffla kernel (governor pegasusqplus, balanced profile) but with Android Revolution HD (v40). Battery drain but more irritated with wake up lag.

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Totally don't know what you're talking about. :D

Anyway, as I said - those two kernels are outstanding and in case yank wouldn't do a trick for you try boeffla, seriously. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
WOW!!!

ArchiDroid v1.7.2 + Boeffla .... WOW !!! No lag whatsoever...

Quick question though...

I did not install anything from the bloatware zip file...

should be ok yeah?

I might just need the digital clock widgets & assitive light...

thats all the widgets I ever use... lol !!!

Flashed it first with 280dpi...

but found it a little too small for my liking...

reflashing again with stock (320dpi)....

Also found lock sound to be different from stock.... is that right?

Still have a lot to restore ... apps + app data.... plus personal folders!!

But WOW.... with Boeffla :)

Thanks mate !!! :good::good::good:

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Recommended was Boeffla so selected that....

WOW !!!

Guess I don't need to bother to give yank555 kernel a try at all...

i'm a n00b with kernels btw :)

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

If I don't want to install inverted apps, can I just flash GApps (for 4.3) instead?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

I ended up losing my root access somehow...

very shortly after installing Xposed framework and stuff...

I have no clue what happened :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Issues!!!

I flashed to stock Sammy 4.1.2 ...

and then flashed again to Archidroid 1.7.2 via recovery...

flash was successful...

downloaded ROM Manager...

and it says i dont have recovery installed...

trying to download CWM recovery via ROM Manager...

and its not downloading....

stuck at 0% :(

I checked though by holding the required buttons...

and i do have CWM Touch Recovery installed...

but its not showing in ROM Manager...

done for today...

restoring my Nandroid backup of stock 4.1.2 ...

disappointed :(

Change the camera from the front to back mode.

Wohooo! :p

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Anyway, don't ask me why samsung doesn't include such feature for front camera. ;) It's samsung.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
I have to ask, how? I have latest AD 1.7.2, with boeffla prefix set on balance mod in aroma. most of the apps are on greenify list, beside the ones i thought it might cause bugs to (in the attached image you can see the apps not greenified).

battery drain is huge, sometimes it's 2.5%/H, even at night while I'm sleeping, and sometimes i go to work & after 12H it's down by 70-90%! I work as a nurse, so most of the time the phone is in my pocket.

what am i missing here?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
- flash latest boeffla beta3a

- use ultrapowersave profile, not balanced one (I bet you wouldn't feel the difference, but your phone will) - go to Boeffla Config, press on the top "[DEFAULT]", then Load...->Archi_UltraPowerSave.bcprofile and once it's listed bove the default profile choose it, that's all

- umm.. for now, try these 2 steps & see how it will affect :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
will install it now.

just a quick noobish question :p, after i flash the kernel, do i need to wipe anything? long time since i flashed one alone, forgot!

also, the one you linked is for AD 1.7.2 right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
yeah, that's package for 1.7.2(generally for 4.3 stock based)

just download that .zip & flash it via CWM without wiping anything ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
thanks :), just flashed it & choose the right profile in config.

will give it 2 days then report back here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
what's more I can say? I'd highly recommand you using BBS, it's neccessary to track wakelocks. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Already pointed in my Q&A ;)

Thanks for kind words.

You're probably interested in "Master sequence" and "Register hook" option on screen tab.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amitks:
Thanks a ton. Unchecking the two options worked. I am not a developer, so I don't understand this as well. Disabling "Master sequence" and "Register hook", can this impact battery life negatively? I understand that some image enhancement engine by Samsung is now active.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I don't think so, maybe it can but you won't notice so much difference. Basicly master sequence and register hook options calibrate colors because stock values aren't so well calibrated. You may like stock better because you were using them since the beginning. Personally I like these "dull" colors much more because they're in fact well calibrated and more reliable, but it's up to you. Some users like it, some don't ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyryn:
hey what are the default settings u reccomend while setting up thru aroma ?

and the sound stuff, for that, which kernel do i choose ?

sorry if u mentioned it in the OP, but yr changelog was too vast, so i must have missed it :p

btw, u need to publicize this ROM more, dont think many know tht such a nice ROM exists :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Default settings are my recommended ones ;). As you may notice I have bunch of experimental features turned on by default. If you want my opinion about that - default settings are best.

About fame - My community grows by a minute ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amitks:
+1 on need for more publicity. This is a great ROM still in the shadows
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'm uploading 1.4.1, bugfixes only. If you're happy with current release then there is no point in upgrading but as always up to you :).

Changelog soon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alandd86:
Plzz any1 know about media server issue ( it drains my battery alot

I had this issue before but after formating my phone disappeared but now comes again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Are you in fact using ArchiDroid? Because from SS I can clearly say that it's NOT ArchiDroid, it looks more like modded ARHD or Sotmax.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alandd86:
am using arhd ,+ jkay and am now downloading ur rom to use it with jkay ,, hope solve my issue ?

any idea what cause this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I can't say if my rom will solve your issue or not but I can assure you that I doesn't have such problem on my build.

It looks more like having a bunch of bloatware, autosync on or things like this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alandd86:
i found somewhere the same issue and they said that corrupted media files cause this !! i dnt have any media files BTW
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zyryn:
ppl say u should do this :

- backup internal sd

- format it

- restore needed stuff
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Just an another bugfix release. Don't flash if you don't want to.

1.4.2

- Fixed clock problem which affected 240 dpi this time. Screw you Samsung, create multi-dpi packages next time!

- Fixed misc problem in aroma not showing latest 280dpi warning.

- Yank is now flashed with ArchiDroid config by default. You can tweak it yourself later but flashing without any config is now not allowed due to absolutely no reason for doing so.

- "Old" ArchiDroid Perseus config is now called "PowerSave" config. I've marked it as powersave because some people don't read Q&A and think that rom is not smooth enough ;).

- Added new default ArchiDroid Perseus config. Basicly it's same like "old" config (now called "PowerSave"), it just includes minimum gpu frequency 160 instead of 54.

- Xposed is pre-installed by default (if somebody didn't notice already), as it's powerful tool and still require user action to activate after installtion. Maybe I'll make option to choose xposed in aroma later but as for now I can't see any reason for not installing that.

- Added Call Recording xposed module to xposed, it's universal now.

- Fixed some misc freeze problem with sound effects settings called directly from samsung settings.

Stable: ArchiDroid 1.4.2 GD

Hope it's the last one for 1.4.x ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] temo44:
Hi mate,

Your rom is truly amazing but there is one major problem for me. The clock app does not work.

When i try to open it my phone just freezes and I have to reset the whole thing. If you have a fix me I'll buy you a beer ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] butus73:
1.4.2

- Fixed clock problem which affected 240 dpi this time. Screw you Samsung, create multi-dpi packages next time!

Maybe that's the answer for your problem? :)

This rom is really great (v. 1.4.0), with standard 320DPI I don't have any problems. And the sound is awesome :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
In general all 1.4.x releases are stable and in fact shouldn't cause any problems but in some specific situations they can appear so that's the reason why I'm creating bugfix releases. If rom works fine for you then (unless it's a patch/update release) you have absolutely no reason in updating.

Clock package should be fixed for 280 dpi (in 1.4.1) and for 240 dpi (in 1.4.2).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] temo44:
It's working as I hoped :D. Man this is the best rom I've ever had ^_^. I'll donate for the good cause!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Thanks for awesome beer bro, I really appreciate that :). Have fun with ArchiDroid.

I've added you to donator list on first page. If you don't want to be listed for whatever reason just give me a call. Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] regaber:
On top of all the great advices from [MENTION=5264108]malachow[/MENTION] ,you should try Greenify if you haven't yet. It's really helpful.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davibs:
I don't have it.

I don'tknow why but i have just the same features of front camera, in back.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
already have it :)

today was the test day for the changes i made in the kernel. eventually, i used to get better results! it's about 4.4%/H, in 8H 50M it went down by 83% from 100% to 17%. the use wasn't that heavy today.

how can i upload any text files with the details from BBS or Gsam for you to see?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Screenshots from others, kernel & partial wakelocks sections would be enough I think. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
it's messy & lots of screenshots. anyway, here we go:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
OK, few tips to start with:

- wifi always turned on? go to wifi - settings - advanced and turn off google scanning

- torchlight wakelock? I'd definietly turn off in wanam settings hidden torchlight as you may see it causes wakelocks (in my case also)

- turn off google localization services in case you don't need it daily

- NIP wakelocks? hmm, I'd disable fast dormancy (using Root Browser go to file /system/build.prop, find 2 lines related with FD, uncomment them - delate "#" before, save the file & reboot phone)

- google talk wakelocks? if you don't use houngouts (old GTalk) then uninstall it

If more ideas appear in my head I will notifiy you. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Also, go to wifi settings and change type connection from "always" to "only when connected" if you haven't done it yet. :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jamson85:
Archi, a question..

I've read on wanams page several times that wanam has sold his galaxy s3 and I have seen his twitter announcement also..

Since this rom is based on wanam's build.. have you thought already about how you gonna continue?

The rom for me is verry good the way it is now.. sure it has some little beauty mistakes in the dailer and camera app..

But comparing to other roms I don't have fc's, batterylife is good when using boeffla kernel, response is good also and the rom works like a charm..

Since Samsung is stil planning some updates for the s3 wil you maintain this rom? Or is it finished from your point of view and will it remain on current build based on last wanam?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro_king:
+1 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'm not satisfied with repacked deodexed MK6 dump. Let me know when MK6 will be officially released, f.e. through sam mobile.

Nothing changes, I'll work on my own. It's already too late to change the base because ArchiDroid has nearly everything shared on xda, plus unique AD-specific features.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jamson85:
Thnx man good to know, it would be a waste if this rom would fade away to the background..

I've used your 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 rom before.. and maybe when omnirom is a little further and your build is a little further I will upgrade to 2.5
