You can do that now. Go to settings/date & time and choose "don't show" for day of week.

I would like to see the battery bar in 1.5 if you've had a chance to look into it and it won't take too long to incorporate. Otherwise, please keep it on the list for the future.

Loving this ROM but the updates may be coming just a bit too fast to keep up with lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I've never had people complain about updates before..

no one is forcing you to update..

if you don't want to, then please.. don't

but please don't complain about me spending my free time to update this ROM..

I look at this as an open beta thread.

I am not one of those DEVs that is going to pick out 2-3 ppl that donated to me to test, you can all test.. if you want

if what you are using is good and you don't find the update needed, then you don't have to.. I am not putting anything in the updates that will hurt the ROM. Only things to make it better..

but I am confused about how it's a problem that I am updating things :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I'm sorry you took it that way because I didn't mean it like that at all. I was actually trying to complement you on the constant improvements. I do skip updates if there is nothing in it I feel I need at the moment and sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put into all of your projects.

Let's blame this on the antibiotic I'm taking and the fact that I'm only half awake. Friends?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
friends? of coarse man!

I wasn't meaning to direct that post at you, sorry about that.

I really appreciate you as a user here and your feedback is highly appreciated as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
All is good. Let me try to state what I meant clearly for everyone's benefit.

I am really amazed at the speed with which you are able to not only find and fix bugs but identify new features to incorporate. Some of the things I really like:

You put a lot of thought into adding features, you don't just throw things in to have more options to list in the OP.

You listen to user requests and are willing to do special "one off" fixes in cases where it doesn't make sense to change the ROM.

You are good at explaining your decisions and not afraid to tell someone you can't do something they want instead of telling them it's a stupid request like I have seen other devs do.

You are willing to admit that something you did isn't working well and either eliminate it or change it as appropriate.

As I said before, I really like this ROM and have made it my daily driver because of you and the entire community supporting your efforts. You are one of the best devs on XDA even if they are having trouble recognizing it, the user of your work know it.

this is honestly one of the nicest posts anyone has ever written me. I honestly cannot tell you how much this post means to me!

It's friends like you, why I love doing what I do!

Thank you so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I know I should remember lol, but so much has happened in the thread I honestly do not remember haha.

what would you like added

EDIT: brain fart, yea I know what it is haha

I'll try n work on it tmw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
v1.5 may or may not include the battery bar

I just spoke with Didact74 (possibly the most honest and nicest DEVs there is)

and he has his battery bar MOD working completely coded into the SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk - no need for a third party .apk!

pretty boss.

I asked him for permission to port to which he kindly said yes and asked if I was able to get it ported to the ROM, to which I wanted to ask him first so now that permission is given I am going to give it some time tonight. IF I get it v1.5 will have this.

IF not, Didact said he will be making a tutorial for the MOD soon, so it will be included then if I can't get it :)

EDIT: yea sorry guys, need to wait for tutorial.

I know it's a small update, but I feel it's needed, this will be the last update for awhile I believe. Until the battery bar tutorial comes, then I'll be updating again, but until then I think we are bug-free, and pretty much good.

v1.5

Added Viper Audio MOD to Misc in Aroma

Added Disable option to long press to kill MOD

Added page numbers to Aroma installer to help guide through the install

build.prop tweaks - nothing over the top, settle improvements to speed up the overall ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
The ROM has been smooth like buttah, Andy! I think the whole day of this thread being pretty quiet proves no one is having any problems and no suggestions or any additions lol.

I just hope the roll out of 1.5 with Viper will be smooth for you as it completely turns your phone into a high end music player. Have any other ROM's come with Viper mod?

It was a little temperamental getting it to work for me. MusicFX would fc Settings on me when I attempted to select ViperFX in 'Music Effects' a few times until it randomly behaved and accepted changes. Also, I use ViperFX and ViperXHiFi together and notification sounds through headset would not work when playing music in 'Compatible Mode.' Which is the mode the guide stated to set when using both mods in conjunction. Everything does play well together when I set FX and HiFi to normal mode... weird. Symptoms were duplicated from fresh installs until I figured out normal mode worked just fine.

Also, will there be included *.irs files and pre-made sound profiles?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thank you this means so much!

unfortunately I am unfamiliar with Viper Sound MOD, I did test to make sure it worked though

it had two .apks that I included for the MOD, and there were two icons in the .apk drawer, the Viper app wouldn't open, but then I opened the other .apk in the drawer and it asked me to install and update some stuff and reboot, which I did and then it opened, I am hoping to hear that it works as it should :)

I honestly am running out of ideas for what to do next for the ROM!

I am trying to keep it different than the others, which is proving to be a bit difficult as ALL the tutorials are based off the thought that you are using ROM Control. so all the code is in the tutorial is 100% different, so some things got challenging but that's what this is all about :)

Also, I'm sure Didact won't mind helping me get the battery bar working with it in the settings > display instead of settings > rom control.

rom control is awesome and a great idea don't get me wrong there, but I don't like doing what everyone else is doing. The friends I have made from in here is awesome, all you users I cannot thank enough you guys are what make me want to make this ROM PERFECT! Which I'm not sure It'll ever be perfect, but I am trying my best to make the ROM the way the the user wants it, without overbloating the ROM down and keeping it fresh.:cool:

Aside from Plasma VIII I think this will be the only other one to include it. What rom were you on when you had those issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
I was on this one, BoneStock. I doubt it's ROM related... just a clash between three EQ apps..

hey guys I was rolling through the Tethering TrevE thread, and was testing out the .apk and found a better one.

Andy you are killing it my friend. Rom has been superb today. Battery off the chains and im using a animatedGIF lwp! Thanks for the update. Do me one favor though, take the long weekend off! You've been working way to hard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
bro thank you so much! you guys seriously rock! I love what I do, and it's all thanks to you guys!

v1.5 link will be up in less than 30 mins.

then I'll start the upload for the mirror.

and you read my mind my friend!

Hitting up Lake George this weekend, leaving tmw afternoon, not going to be the greatest weather, but man I cannot wait!

I hope that v1.5 you guys find to be a bit more snappy, and hopefully a little bit easier to know where you are in the Aroma installer with the addition of the page numbers (let's see if this catches on :) )

I will go ahead and say that since this isn't a heavy update that it will be very safe bet to go ahead and flash v1.5 and just wipe cache/dalvik cache, just need to make sure to UN-check "reboot" after installing the ROM, and then wipe cache/dalvik.

(nandroid first!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
Nice.

Hey Andy, was wondering if you ever thought of an option for flashlight on the lock screen? I like how the app Flashlight LED Genius gives you the option to just shake your phone at the lock screen and it turns on the flashlight. I use the pin security lock screen so it's useful to me for being unable to put a shortcut to torch on my lock screen and also simplicity of use.

PS- You are def killing it! Phone just hit 7% after 1 day, 11 hours of discharge. 4 hours and 12 minutes of screen time and 1 hour 15 minutes of Voice Calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
hey man, not too sure what you're asking, :confused:, sorry

however..

lockscreen torch I have baked into the ROM, with the option of a toggle to use it

in settings > lock screen > lock screen options > Lockscreen Torch,

when this is checked, and you are on the lock screen press the home button and it will turn it on :)

-----------

v1.5 link is up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
wooo! downloading now.

I use a PIN code for my lock screen and it greys out the lock screen options. Flashlight LED Genius gives you the option to automatically turn on your flashlight when you shake your phone... it works really well. Was just an idea and I guess I'm in the minority that uses security on their phone lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
I finally got the chance to ODIN back to stock and then update to 1.4 right before 1.5 comes out... Go figure. *lol*

I did get to verify that even on stock ICS, when the phone is in the car dock and listening to music using the USB audio out and a notification comes in, it cuts off the music and switches to speaker mode to play the notification and then switches back to the USB audio. I could have sworn this used to work where notifications worked by properly preempting the music by lowering the music volume and playing notifications overtop.

Also, I know it's too late to request this for 1.5, but maybe for 1.6 (if it isn't already in 1.5) but allow not installing S Voice at all in Aroma?

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

I use security on my phone and have not had any problems with Torch on the lockscreen.

I'll double check before I download and install 1.5. (And also after.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
If I enable swipe lock on top of having PIN, that will enable lock screen options. It has always been that way, no??

------

Oh snap it works now! Enabled swipe lock then enabled lockscreen torch and then re-disabled swipe lock, went back to just PIN security. Weird....don't mind me.. :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Glad you got it working. :)

I think I've usually set up Torch before setting up my security, so that may be why I never came across that issue before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
That's good to hear my friend , I will add this question to the FAQ , post #3 as it's a great question with a great solution, thanks bro.

Haha yea I know sorry about that man but good thing is you can flash v1.5 over v1.4 wipe only a need to wipe cache/dalvik cache.

Also s-voice has been an Aroma option since v1.0 v1.5 however now has the sg4 application options, didn't even think to include a way to not install them but unfortunately I won't be able to fix this until v1.6, right now its either sg3/sg4 for the selection I will make it sg3/sg4/none. To remove it I'm sure you may already know but just incase: using a root explorer application go to system/app and scroll all the easy down and delete voicetalk.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Hehe, just because I can dirty flash, doesn't mean I will. :P

I think maybe I'll give the SG4 S Voice a try before deleting it manually. Been a while since I've used it, but it is possible to use both S Voice and Google Now correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SpyroDazee:
Hey Andy, I noticed something odd in the messaging.

When using the Stock MMS app, it shows the message times off. Like it'll show I received them an hour earlier even though I received them right after they sent it, so this messes up the way the messages are displayed by time received. So let's say I send a text at 5:45, then receive one from the person I texted at 5:47, it'll show that it was sent at 4:47 and it will display it before my message.

This also happens in the AOSP messaging, just that AOSP displays them in order from which they arrived to the phone. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Hehe good point. sg4 s-voice is pretty neat i don't use it though, just keep it installed since it's tied to the dialer.

Sorry to hear this, it's working fine for myself and I'm assuming everyone else as this is the first I've heard of this happening, besides one PM i received. I will do some searching to see if I can find a solution for you. In the meantime I can send you the SecMms.apk from before I fixed group messaging that should also fix your time issue, I may even be able to get group messaging working as well. Actually, I'll provide it as an add-on for those who are having the hour off issue. Basically its going to have all the new extended features except for the one that I believe will fix the hour issue for those having it.

Any possibility of getting a stock theme? By that I mean icons and such. There's only cyan and white. Sorry I'm probably the only one that likes stock theme...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yes I will look into making a vr-theme for completely stock theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wix256:
Glad I could be of some assistance!

I just finished flashing and smooth as usual!

I can see Viper mod is different than the way a user would install it themselves? I never had to run V4A Manager first in order to get the driver installed and ViperXHiFi app working. Just had to open the ViperXHiFi and/or ViperFX and it would install the driver there.

In the ViperXHiFi app it doesn't give you the option to load an effect profile (saved settings). This would make it very simple to load the optimal options as there are a lot of settings to mess around with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Hmm, maybe I included the wrong .apk, think but could send me the viper.apk u have that I could include

Thanks man

Afh seems to be having issues. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theresin:
Honestly, as hard as it is to believe, the GS4 SVoice is actually pretty "neat" compared to the GS3 version. I especially like the driving mode, but I also feel as though the responses are better, the app itself is quicker, and it's integration is pretty solid.

With that being said, I still use GNow/Voice Search 99.9% of the time ... but when I'm looking for a funny/witty answer to a silly question ("Do you like Siri? .... What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" etc) I go with Svoice.

Andy - I've been a huge fan of your mods from day one, and I must say this ROM is as stellar as anything else you do. You are, hands-down, the most genuine, caring, patient, and flexible DEV the D2VZW has ever had. It seems as though you are the only DEV left that hasn't compromised build quality just to add half-working tweaks/mods. I mean really ... I love this "lifestyle" as much as the next person, but I've never been able to understood why anyone would buy a high-end device only to cripple it.

Keep on keeping on man. :good:

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

It was taking a while to load up the server options for me - and once it did, there were only two (CO and IL).... However, the download came in between 1.8 and 2.5mbs ... not the fastest ever, but certainly bearable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
OK, quick, probably stupid question here.

The 360 degree rotation, what is that for? I thought it would be for the home screen, but even with the stock 4x4, it doesn't rotate unless I missed a setting somewhere. Though it does rotate when plugged into my car dock. The S4 weather widget looks horrible in landscape, the S3 version was much better. Moot point I suppose as I usually use OMC instead. Which makes me wonder, was there an option to select neither version? Can't remember if there were options to install none of the various S3/S4 apps. Granted, can always go in after flashing and remove them, but always nice when you don't have to.

So far though, this seems pretty smooth. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Should be a toggle in system/settings display - enable all rotations. Everything may look a little strange in landscape as it's stretched out. You can just dirty flash and choose s3 apps or s4 apps at any time. I would just wipe dalvik cache. Andy- enjoy your mini break, I love lake George. Next time I go up that way I'll have to pm you. Good to see so many people using your ROM, helping each other and showing so much appreciation to a great dev!! Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone.

If you look at the links, they are the same. Just one is in a list with bullets and one is more of a sentence describing what it is. Both links go to the same file. Slightly confusing I suppose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
full rotations is for lockscreen rotation, and 360 degree rotation, meaning you can rotate it all the way around (on .apks that support it.) it does not however work on the home screen, ill have to look into how to do that.

as for the weather widget there isn't too much I can do about it not working great in landscape. is this on the stock launcher, or a 5x6?

there is no enable rotations in settings > display , so don't feel you are missing anything :)

also I will add into for v1.6 the option to install sg4 .apks, as sg3/sg4/none, right now it's only sg3/sg4

if you need help removing the .apk afterward until v1.6 comes I can help you out

1.5 is running lightning fast here. Great performance. No issues at all either. Great work once again.

Anyone care to share their viper audio settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Ahh, OK. I didn't realize that apps that supported 360 degree rotation didn't already rotate on stock. Must be bundled into the ROMs I've used before. *lol* Rotating the stock home screen is not an easy task depending on the layout you choose.

Stock launcher currently, but no worries. I normally use OMC instead of the weather widget. I just figured I'd try out the new S4 widget. In portrait, it looks rather nice, but when the car dock forces the home screen into landscape (which is nice that it actually does go landscape, find the launchers that stay in portrait (usually the 5x6 TW, not sure about the 4x5) are rather annoying to work when driving and you need to go to your actual home screen for something) it just looks something horrid. The S3 version looked pretty much the same portrait and landscape, which was decent. I just like the styles and customization available with OMC instead.

I think I have the file names for the .apk's and should be able to remove them, but thanks! You are definitely one of the most dedicated devs when it comes to customer support/service.

And a nice perk of having flashed a nice, shiny, new ROM? I'm already 4 hours into work and I didn't even realize it. (Always nice when the day doesn't drag when you've only slept about 3 hours. Luckily I had left my dad a voicemail last night asking if he wanted to take his golf clubs to the beach this weekend and maybe play a round and he called me back which woke me up since I forgot to set my alarms again. I wish Google would backup your alarms... lol) I suppose I should go and get a bit of work done...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Depends on the issue. It is often rather slow. You can try the mirror that's also in the OP.

I doubt this is an issue with the ROM, but thought I'd post just in case.

I enabled weather on the lock screen. Though it detects my location properly and though we're not quite balmy here, I assure you we're not at 28° here. :D

Is there a way to force AccuWeather to update?
