Forgive me but its been awhile since I flashed this ROM. My build number says 3.2. Is 3.3 the version that Andy forgot to change the build number from 3.2 to 3.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Yeah, uncheck it and you should he good to go...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
I believe that if you were on 3.2 and used the 3.3 download to mod only that it would show 3.2 still. If you did a fresh/clean install with 3.3 it will display 3.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Anyone try WasabiWa's theme pack since he updated it today? I'm thinking it should work with this ROM but was hoping somebody else would be the guinea pig!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZachAtak:
Did not seem to fix the issue, i also tried a re-flash of the rom with wiping and still the same issue, can this issue be phone specific?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
As with any online game there are too many variables to know. Could be your signal or server traffic. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZachAtak:
Candy Crush is not an online game i thought? Anyways my hp touch pad tablet and gnex do not seem to have any issues at all. Next to my wi fi router and close to an outside window.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Did you install flash. It is a flash dependent game. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
I tried it and it still doesn't work on this ROM. I get the Systemui crashes after installing. had to Nandroid back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If there are any modded xmls in theme it won't work. As in my theme the xmls and resources are matched to the rom. If it is not matched you can only change pngs and lose half the theme. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Internet connection/speed shouldn't matter. I'm very surprised that unchecking 'force GPU rendering' did not fix that issue. I'm all out of ideas for you buddy, all is working well over here. I put in about 2 hours a day on candy crush without any lag. Are you on stock kernel? Maybe reboot after making sure that GPU rendering is off? Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
There are pages and pages of lag reports on that game on Google on all devices. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Doesn't surprise me, it's pretty graphic intensive.

I think CR uses the 15 toggle mod still. If so, it may just be a simple systemui/lidroid swap to get them running. Of course it's a step backwards mod wise (no dormant mode, MW toggle or lock screen toggle).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TabletConnect:
Sorry I thought 4.2 was out for the Samsung S3. I forgot 4.3 was just released. Thanks. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
4.2 is only leaked for the International is not a viable base for porting as the binaries are totally different from those used for the US Qualcom processor. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I thought it was an official kies update ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Either way no help to us. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I just didn't know about it being official or not, gives us an estimate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Estimate so far is Oct-Nov. Probably July for Verizon. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Yup exactly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
May have to actually go into build prop and delete the lines at the end related to gpu rendering. I did that on mine and things went better. Not sure just unchecking is enough because of that build prop mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I also suggest this, the build.prop MOD will work great for 99.9% of people, but it sounds like the way you run your phone, you would be better off without it.

Hope everything is running smooth for everyone!

I would like to release a v3.4 to you guys but there honestly isn't anything for me to add that I can think of. :)

Basically it would be a patch and not really worth a new release for these things

Fixed Chrysis battery not showing up when chosen in Aroma (Done)

Added Street into Maps in Aroma (Done)

Remove the AdFree.apk from Aroma:Misc, and include custom Ad-blocking hosts file in ROM (Done)

that are already done.

Anything anybody can think of?

No, there is nothing from the S4 that I can bring to the S3, sorry. Trust me you aren't missing anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Can you get me your profile pic centered in the middle of a black pic that is 720x1280 I'm gunna make you a bootani
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Wrong Mr. Bones. user error on your part. We're missing out on GS4 Bonestock. lol out of curiosity which do you like better S3 or S4? :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea bro that would be awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I really enjoy the feel of the SG4 better, but for some reason I just feel like the SG3 could take wayy more of a beating than this SG4 can, so I do miss that as I don't use case/and or a screen protector.

I SG4 isn't really all that noticebly faster, and 4.2.2 isn't really that much better besides it's pretty cool the new status bar.

But we are way behind in terms of everything, the boot loader may never be unlocked, but with a almost $5,000 bounty and $4,000 for root + recovery you would think someone would eventually claim that pot of gold.

So we kind of are stuck on this first update that came with the phone they released an initial update that broke root for everyone, and took awhile, but it was eventually rooted, but you can't put recovery on it, so it screwed a lot of people, which is why that root + recovery bounty is so high. So the new update since it's rooted I was able to make a ROM out of it, but we are stuck on the old firmware + kernel, and any new updates we most likely won't even be able to run because of it being so locked down. If the boot loader gets cracked, I'd say, if you can, it is def worth the $200 upgrade from selling your SG3 to getting a used SG4, mint condition SG4's are going for under $500, and you can get about $300 for your SG4..

That's just my opinion. I personally will most likely end up selling the SG4 if the boot loader isn't unlocked and something new catches my eye (aka HTC One) but not 100% sure I'm even really interested in that phone. So as of now I am going to enjoy the SG4, and just having the SG3 on the desk for inspiration :)

and when I feel like playing around.

Some people don't feel it's worth the upgrade from the SG3 for any price and that's fair, that's their opinion, but after spending some time with the phone and getting into it, I feel once/if the boot loader is unlocked it will be much to as what this phone is/was but on steroids. haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
i've been long overdue for an upgrade. i canget a free s4 tomorrow if i'd like. the whole lock down thing throws me off. also there's a few new phones on the horizon that look sweet. moto x google edition being 1. and the note 3 may be a possibility. not 100% sold on phablets...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
They hurry the S5 be out before it's unlocked. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
The normal MotoX on all carries has a locked bootloader but obviously the GPE won't :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It can be unlocked on all carriers but Verizon and AT&T. :cool:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...riers-developer-editions-for-att-and-verizon/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I personally wouldn't use an upgrade on it, Dog thinks the SG5 will be here sooner than it will. But it will be coming soon, and it's most likely what I will be using my upgrade on as it's not for another 11 months.

I would wait out for the moto x if that interests you.

I would also consider selling the SG3 and getting the SG4 once/if boot loader gets unlocked. It will be game on. And by then prices would be prob closer to $400 :)

haha, idk if it's coming that soon :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Andy that's interesting you mentioned the status bar of the sgs4. That's the one thing I've been trying to mimic on my sgs3 since it was released. Love the new look! Haven't quite achieved it yet though lol

Glad your enjoying it though. Hopefully they can unlock it. I continually check craigslist for used sgs4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Dang, that's what I get for listening to Twitter :p I kind of want an X now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
i've never been happier with my phone than with the s3. i always rushed to get something like the atrocious tbolt. but that's a whole other story. i'm happt with s3 just getting some info from devs i trust and know a thing or 2. prdog doesn't need an s5 or s4. he could probably create a s6 with some junked spare parts from an old nextel. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Developer Edition phones may end up being our only means of getting able to ROM our future phones.

You never know.

The Rezound, ****, I used a paperclip to get that thing S-OFF (basically unlocked boot loader for HTC phones)

I was the tester for the guys behind the scenes for the S-OFF for both the Rezound and the Inc4, I was the first guy on XDA outside their group to have S-OFF on both those devices, lol.

Wish it was like that on Samsung!

(damn, and this was without bounties.. if you were to combine both the bounties, currently we have two, one for root + recovery, and another for boot loader unlock. the two add up to close to $10,000. The root + recovery, $4,000 roughly right now, and then boot loader around $5,000 right now, so realist, $9,000 right now.

the bounty just doesn't make sense to me.

If they are able to get the boot loader unlocked it seems very realistic that they would be able to get the root + recovery as well..

why wouldn't they release root + recovery, claim that bounty (even though boot loader hack is ready, mind you) and then wait a bit then release boot loader unlock to claim that bounty.

just kind of dumb not to just offer them the both if boot loader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Did my Rezound with a bread twist tie. Thanks to Mrs. Bairds. :p:cool:

http://db.tt/nyKkosXz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CPTBeaker:
just some ideas...

...a

volume up/down button screen on

option - had this on a Thunderbolt ROM a while back. (I try to avoid the home and power buttons whenever possible to hopefully extend their lives. Adding a couple more buttons would help with this).

...a option to select persistent WiFi notification on/off in Aroma - like the option you provide for the keyboard (I like the notification in the pulldown that tells me what SSID I'm connected to.)

...additional WiFi and Signal icon choices, selectable in Aroma

...(bug?) fix..the 'Lock Switcher' toggle doesn't seem to stick (or respect) the toggle for me. (I like to toggle the lock screen off when I'm home and have tried to use the toggle, but it seems to work randomly.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
1) can't do it, outside my skill set, can prob set up a volume up wake or something though, nothing like Skyraider..

2) not sure I can do this, if not I will provide a flashable.zip (I think you may be the only one wanting it and don't really want to add into Aroma anyway)

3) NO MORE theming! For real, I'm burnt out on themeing, I did more than I liked to already in this ROM...

There is a reason I stopped themeing and moved to smali coding

4) I can look into the toggle, but it's lidroid code, and not mine and to be completely honest, no idea where to start.

I appreciate the feedback.

but looks like the only one I may be able to do is a volume button wake, but even that, ever since 2.1 passed the kernel blocks the volume button from waking the device once in a deep sleep so i'ts actually pointless and the main reason I stopped doing this MOD, ESP once I came to the sg3, and can use the home button..

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
i use this this to get on screen keys to save my hardware keys-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2110134&highlight=soft+keys. super simple build.prop edit to get a home, back and menu on screen nav bar. saves the compactive keys. volume you can control on the device once you hit a volume key once a slider should pop up with a settings button that enables all volumes control...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I personally can't stannddd the on screen soft keys.

just seems like waste of realestate when already have a menu home and back button.

Everyone is differnt though and prefers different things, goal is finding that spot for others , haha :)

When I owned a HTC device the first MOD I would make for everyones ROMs was the "wake on volume" key, I couldn't live without it.

I couldn't stand using the power key (still do) I use the home button to wake, and the lock toggle to lock.

Unfortunately one Sense 4.1 came the volume wake MOD became useless as HTC baked into the kernel a way to stop the volume keys from working once in a deep sleep (basically if you phone has been off for more than a minute, it won't work rendering the MOD useless)

every since then I have stopped mking the MOD, and the SG3 was a savior with the home button wake.

I will prob make a volume wake MOD for this device to try it out, I just need to dig up some old tutorials and remember how the hell I did it with smali code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
i know it takes up some screen. but having already busted a home key after a few weeks of owning my s3 i needed something to get my by until i could replace it. i used aosp for about 2 months until i found that thread for how to on TW roms. i got a new phone and i grew accustomed to them. plus mine are smaller than usual. i had big ones but i found the smaller ones work just fine... plus it's another thing to theme. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CPTBeaker:
I've become completely dependent on the LMT's pie as an alternate to on screen nav keys. This ROM is nearly perfect as is. By adding LMT to it, it's perfect (for me).

Andy, the options that I mentioned were only ideas to make a great ROM even better and really nothing that is a 'must have' in my opinion.

I used ROM Toolbox Pro to change the WiFi & Battery icons, but it won't apply the signal icons for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
No I know I appreciate the feedback, I asked, you gave :)

was just giving my feedback on your feedback :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Samsung must have done something similar. That mod has never worked 100% on this device. Even on aosp. Somebody made the mod for TW when this phone first came out, but it wouldn't wake the phone from deep sleep... Haven't seen it on TW since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea it's actually seems to be an Android issue, not even phone related.

This is the reason I stopped making the MOD as well, I remember the day it happened too, when we got 4.1 on the INC4, and I did the MOD and it didn't work, I was able to edit one thing that made it work about 70% of time but still was wonky, butthat was for HTC,

I know we could ask a kernel DEV to add the option for the MOD to work, but I like stock kernel.

Another thing...I installed Candy Crush Saga and I don't have any lag whatsoever. I did disable the GPU Rendering before even installing though.

I wonder what's going on with other people's phones that causes the lag?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
No problem.

On the topic of lag, I've had none. I tried that stupid game yesterday to see what all the hype was about (still don't really understand why people like it), and it ran just fine. I also ran several other games and emulation with openGL retexturing on with no lag whatsoever.

This is my favorite TouchWiz ROM and I used to hate TouchWiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Hello

I have been reading this thread for the past hour or so and I had a few question before I flashed this ROM.

1. I am on PA AOSP ROM (VRBMA2 will that be a problem?) right now, do I need to do anything special before going back to TW? (Sorry its been a long time since I used TW, and I dont want to do anything wrong)

2. In PA I like in the settings menu how its tablet layout. For me it makes things easy to do. Do you guys have a theme that does this? Sorry If I missed it.

I figured its always safer to ask questions first then to screw something up and then ask a bunch of questions how to fix it.

Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRaptor29:
Just flash the ROM after full wipe ( 2x factory reset, dalvik, cache, system)

No as the change DPI system being put into a ROM makes it unstable, although I hear flashing the mod helps. Not sure if its built for MF1 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royta:
I hope this is OK that I'm doing this. Please let me know if this is against Andy's policy, or anyone else's for that matter.

I'm creating a flashable zip, containing the apps I would like out of the group you've deleted, that I can run in recovery immediately after flashing your ROM. I'm pulling the apk's from your 3.2 ROM and creating the flashable zip with the the Aroma App Package Creator v1.3.2. I'm running into a little bit of a snag though. Certain apps, like Terminal Emulator and Jellybean Keyboard also have a "lib" directory. I know the apk files go the /system/app/ directory, but I don't know what to do with the lib file. Where do I send it?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
HaHaa. Hopefully I explained it enough in other thread. If you copy the lead folder in it will go in by itself. On another note. Andy I broke 5000 posts. Where my damn cookie. :p:laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royta:
Yes you did. Thank you.

I think I'll need to find another way to create a flashable zip, because I can only load apk files with commandersafi's aroma app package creator.

here you are, Sir - http://d-h.st/nED

AFAIK there is no SG4 S-Memo, but I could be wrong, I thought I included all the working SG4 applications into Aroma but I may have missed some.

TaskManager I found and it said was suppose to work on SG3, but have yet to find an SG3 ROM it works on. oh well.

Is anyone expierecing volume skip not working on 1.3? Its on in settings and worked in 1.2. I've flashed the ROM twice now and both times its a no go, even try flashing the 1.2 fix for giggles.

If I missed a fix since 1.3 was posted I'm sorry, I'm scanning the posts on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
No need to be sorry :)

v1.3 shouldn't require any other downloads.

in v1.2 there was a small issue that was confirmed to be fixed and working.

v1.3 I included this fix in.

What Music Player are you trying this with, it was confirmed to work on the stock, and I use Google Play.

If anyone else on v1.3 could test real quick to see if this is an issue with v1.3, or if it's working as it should, thank you in advance.

Just tried a clean flash and tested with google play and all is working fine for me :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShhImSleeping:
I appreciate the fast response man!

I'm using player pro, which worked in 1.2 after the fix. I would say it was due to playerpro's update today, but it isn't working with the stock player either for me :(.

Maybe I'm an anomaly, I'm open for suggestions though on things to try.

Thanks for your work man!
