A cautionary tale..

A cautionary tale (

not a ROM issue

, but rather PEBKAC)..

In my enthusiasm, I did a dirty update of my daily driver S3 over intergalactic 4.1 while having less than 10% battery and with wall charger plugged-in (hoping that it would take care of any discharging & load). Well Aroma finished successfully and asked me to reboot. I put it to reboot and went back to my morning coffee leaving the device to settle. When I came back the phone was sitting dead and I am unable to charge it with my usual (non-oem) charger.

Lesson:

listen/read/remember the advice regarding precautions to take while making the update, specially on a work day morning and with daily driver phone!

now I am looking to revive this thing..:crying: Will see if the the different charger & cable combination is able to revive it.

Well putting other user's fully charge battery also did not let me go to recovery options, but I was able to go to download mode.. so not all was lost.

FIXED: needed to go back to old friend Odin and flash UCDLK3 - good that I did not move my bootloader to MJB, otherwise I don't think I would have been able to do that, since only odin download mode was accessible to me. Now getting back to this rom..

Anyone install the dark google play app and receiving the 927 error code? I’ve installed this rom about 3-5 times and this problem I haven’t been able to resolve, plus I haven’t seen anyone else mention this. The usual “927” methods to resolve this haven’t fixed the problem. The only way I have resolved this is to replace the phonesky.apk in the rom with a previous ver I have (google_play_store_4.5.10.80250010.apk). I’m getting great results with the provided kernel, great job.

Is anyone having issues sending out a large SMS? Seems like it won't break apart the message to send in multiple messages or convert to MMS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Just a quick question for i747 owners rocking the newest rom. Im seeing posts saying LTE no longer shows but it is in fact LTE speed? Is that for everyone? Thats something I cant live without seeing as how AT&T JUST flipped the switch to give me LTE in my area. Thanks

EDIT, also, can I dirty flash over early December 3.0 or to avoid problems I should wipe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
I'm getting LTE speeds while "4g" is showing so it's not a concern for me. I'm just used to see "LTE"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
Sounds like you're using xposed. Go through your modules and double check anything relating to key mapping

I dirty flashed over the early December 3.0 and it works great. I'm getting LTE speeds and the LTE icon is showing fine for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Sounds to me you both may have made different choices in aroma. If you dont mind me asking, what were those choices?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Socomfort99:
Great Work E and Loser

This rom has been running flawlessly for me using the dkp kernel. I did notice that the AOSP lockscreen doesn't have swipe then pin unlock anymore. I'm pretty sure this has to do with Samsung not having swipe to pin unlock anymore also. I always liked that feature for quick access to apps on the lock screen. Great job on the rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
I just noticed the same thing. I'm using the S4 messaging app from the Aroma menu. It's just hanging on sending.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
That's a tricky one to try and remember.

- full wipe

- I stuck to stock most of the time,

- chose the mk5 stock kernel (for bell 747m),

- AOSP sounds,

- Google Launcher,

- no Samsung bloat ware,

- no exposed framework.

- Restored apps with Titanium (no system apps)

I can't remember all the options but these stuck out in my mind.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
It also looks like he is on Bell and I'm on AT&T.

I chose the Upgrade option with the White theme and default selected Kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikek753:
any Q&A or guides about this ROM?hi

hi ROM developers,

Thanks a lot for the ROM !!!

It works :victory:

What else to wish from stable ROM.

I moved from 4.1 Hyperdrive (great stable, but 4.1 based ROM) by flashing option A bootloader and modem and after flashed the ROM.

And I'm noob for this ROM.

What is important for me:

1. BT

2. MHL / HDMI

3. Battery

all those work :good:

what would I'd like to get:

1. Fastcharge - I need to charge the phone via MHL. the issue is that phone kernel when in data mode restricts to 0.5A charge, while phone consumes > 0.6A. I know that Kn-z kernel can do it, but it will void my #2 a must option :confused: (due to private MHL Samsung drivers)

2. Privacy guard - this's what I liked in CM .2 ROM

This might be naive question - can TW based kernel take Kn-z fastcharge in?

Are there any Q&A, wiki, guides or other info for plain user?

What is recommended task manager to be able kill some not needed apps? I don't like youtube that starts on background, so I have to kill too often, google play, samsung account.

thanks for great ROM again :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazynewfie:
Just wondering if we can edit a build prop file so that we can get the LTE icon showing up in status bar? If we can then which one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nghia85:
I tried flashing the other options for messaging but none of them seemed to work. I'm not sure what the issue is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] petenatas:
The changes made for i747m may have broken the LTE icon
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EzEddie:
It's seems to be something with the .apk file not set to split the message. I replaced the S4 SecMms.apk that I flashed in Aroma with the S4 apk I have been using (downloaded from this thread back in December) and it now sends fine (splits the message). It would be nice for it to send the long message as a single message or even convert it to MMS....

I also downloaded Textra and long message failed until I selected Split Message.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daroco:
Icon I is fine for me. Currently on Telus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nghia85:
Can you direct me to the link and also walk me through what you did?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the.teejster:
For whatever unknown reason it's not on Bell.. Shows "4g"

Here is what it looks like on Bell coming off of a full installation (and choosing the 747m stock kernel).

Did NOT install exposed framework.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
ROM is running very well... Thank You! As I mentioned before, I really miss the Display Time Out toggle. Is there any way I can add it? It takes me at least six steps to change the display time out. Swipe to get to Settings->Select Settings->Select My Device Tab->Select Display->Select Screen Timeout->Select Time interval. I installed a Display Time Out widget on my main home screen, but while running an app I have to leave the app to get to the home screen with the widget then adjust the time-out and get back to the app. This so much easier with the Time Out Toggle as all I have to do is swipe down once, change the time out and swipe up to get back to the app. This toggle on S3Rx 2.2 was, by far, the most frequently used toggle for me.

Btw, as another user mentioned a few posts back, Multi Window is not working for me either. I installed Xposed and Wanam and the only change I made using these extensions was to remove the carrier from the status bar and lockscreen.

Thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
Got the reboot to work by formatting my internal storage in TWRP (the option they warn you about and requires typing "yes") and then reinstalled the ROM. Of course, I first copied stuff in internal storage I didn't want to lose to external. How this helps anyone else having such an issue. Probably related to coming from a non-TW rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazynewfie:
That what I got as well. I'm on Telus and I installed 747M kernel as well
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
You actually have to turn multi window on. There is a toggle or in display settings. Far as the timeout toggle don’t know what to say about that... sucks. Why do you need to change it so often? I honestly can't comprehend that but everyone uses there phone differently I guess.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazynewfie:
What kernel you install?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbird57:
You beat me to it...I was getting ready to ask the same question..... scratching my head :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pappcam:
Do any of the themes have the network icon below from 2.2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davebmx05:
I just dirty flashed over s3rx2.2 and everything was seeming fine and good but now my messaging isn't working I'm coming from using asop dark SMS and I'm assuming that might be part of the problem is there anything I can do to get it working again? I selected note3 messaging in aroma. I keep getting the message " unfortunately, messaging has stopped"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ozone777:
Some apps don't have the ability to keep the screen from locking while you are in them.

One example of this for me is Words With Friends.

While deciding what word to play the screen will time out.

Would be nice to be able to just pull down and tap the toggle to keep the screen on rather than having to leave the app and make the change in settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
First thanks for your reply... There are several apps I use that time out while interacting with them. I keep the phone on my desk at work and use network monitoring tools that don't have a timeout feature. Instead of using their annoying sound alarms I see that certain icons flash when certain events happen.

EDIT: NEVER MIND... Multi Window works... I had not used it in a long time and so... I forgot that you have to drag the apps from the side launcher... not click them.

I have turned on the Multi Window feature via both of the options you mentioned, but when I select apps from the Multi Window launcher it just works as a launcher that starts instances of the apps in different windows. I don't get the split windows with two simultaneous apps running on the same screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdog533:
Tried everything to get the bootloaders to flash and it was a no go. Can I dirty flash 4.3 over deTmobilized without the bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
sorry if this was suggested already, but did you "format data" (not factory reset) in TWRP? This will clean your internal SD, but your external SD should be safe.

Then flash bootloader zip and then ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bleedingthru:
https://copy.com/TvVxAFdbUh2cUDE I keep getting this error everytime I reboot no idea why ive attached my log hope this helps out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdog533:
No it hasn't been suggested. I figured that would be a last resort to delete my internal drive space but I guess that's what's gonna have to happen

:(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OKAstro:
Just copy any personal files/data to your external card or to your PC before doing this.

I will be surprised if this doesn't fix your problem
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdog533:
Will do appreciate your help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
Hold the app down and drag it to the screen from the multi window panel. Then it will show as split screen. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I had just updated my post... check the time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
You have to backup your messages from s3rx 2.2. Then do a full wipe. If you don't want to go through that you'll have to wipe your messages by going to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and deleting all of the files containing mms (should be 3 of them). Be careful because this will delete all of your messages!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davebmx05:
I got it thanks it took a bit but this ROM is great so thanks guys
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
You don't have to reformat. Just nandroid back to your last rom, install the base rom no mods. Then go back and add mods. Worked for me.

One more question, I can't quite figure out how to delete bookmarks from the browser. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Florad77:
Just hold down on the bookmark until the menu pops up then click delete bookmark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davebmx05:
Its not letting me it keeps saying cannot delete bookmark
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
There isn't much

of a difference. Like you know tmo has wifi calling and mms over wifi. The AT&T base has different 3g 4g and 5 signal bars. Way more language translations. Those are about the only differences.

Probably have multiple 0 folders so its not showing you what is on there. I'd format the internal card. But you need to get a root explorer and find the legacy folders and move everything to the emulated 0 folder.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
Since flashing the update, none of my icon packs work anymore, i.e. if I attempt to change the icon for an app with Nova launcher it doesn't give me the option to use the icon pack. Also the icon packs do not show up in the app drawer and when installing the option to "open" is grayed out. Can anyone try to replicate this issue?

This also occurs when restoring my nandroid of 2.2.

Use an app like BetterBatteryStats to see what exactly is keeping it awake. Have you been using the torch feature at all? It holds a wake lock and doesn't release it properly. I've fixed this, but want to do some more modifications.

Oh your trying to delete the ones in my device, they are locked. I will remove them in the next update, but for now you will need a sqlight db editor or root explorer will do it. Find /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/bookmarks2.db. Then delete the entries you want to get rid of.

Does the Torch toggle also cause a lingering wake lock after use?

No joke I'm color blind.... I see in color but I have a hard time seeing blues and reds and there different shades. I'll get my wife to help me get the color dialed in.

No worries man! Like the other guy said...the purple hue is actually not bad. Makes it stand out from the wifi and other icons! :good::D

Way too cool....my first shot at using aroma features...so far doing really good! I am a bit late getting in on the new ROM I must of missed the announcement?? just happen to see the link at the bottom of enewman's sig.

so far running smooth :good:

Not really a big deal but is the torch always supposed to be highlight when not in use
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
yeah I know it's fixed for the new ROM. It's actually a problem with lidroid. the values are backwards. The images for the themes are correct. A quick fix, flash one of the lidroid packages in the 2nd post.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robert90262:
Is there a fix for this?

I noticed that the purple icons for 4g, bluetooth, etc. are present on the blue theme as well. I knew it had been reported on the AOSP theme but just wanted to put it out there on the Blue.

Also, is anyone having lag when backing up in the stock messaging app, i.e. going from the message thread to the message list by hitting the back button?

Has the mms bug in the AOSP messaging app been fixed? I know loser had it working at 90% before but I had not seen an update on it. When I used the last version I had problems seeing group texts from people with iphones, i.e. a small grey cube appeared as a message with no text.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
I'm looking into it. I assume it has something to do with syncing contacts. I think its a csc feature causing it cause it started happening after changing those.... thing is there were a lot of changes so gotta test a bunch.

Backing up all my v7 stuff and trying this out from a fresh Odin install let's hope not disappointed! (forum dives for gingerbread green theme stuff while downloads)

OK I found why process.acore stops...

<CscFeature_Contacts_SupportMyGroups>true</CscFeature_Contacts_SupportMyGroups>

The contacts app already supports this so having this value set to true was making it stop.

I forgot I had bought haxsync a long time ago. I can confirm that it did indeed stop and never sync...

It seems to sync just fine now.
