HaHaa. Yea most these mods don't have an on off switch. The small ones anyway. The more involved may have a toggle. :p:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gherman222:
Andy, Thanks so much for this ROM! Excellent work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I haven't seen any other ROM have this toggle for Verizon..

all it is, is a toggle for the notification in the pull down bar to tell you, your battery is full.. but it's honestly pointless and why I removed it as a toggle and just fully removed it - like most other ROMs, as you know your battery is full when the light turns green..

I wasn't considering adding it back in unless there was an overwhelming want for it, I'd rather just provide the .zip for those who want the notification.

when the battery is full it will still turn led light green, and vibrate.

that was a MOD I was going to remove actually, the vibration on for next release.

Same problem here with the multiview panel draging error. I found out if you drag an app on the first page it works just fine. Once you scroll down for more apps, the app that you drag over is not the app you end up with on the left side panel. Instaed, what being added is the app on the first page at same position. Need a fix.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Same thing here, When it boots up it's not transparent at all until swiping down.

Question: how do you change the bar's transparency on the fly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
You can't change the transparency on the fly. You have to flash the zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Really?

It's too much to swipe down your status bar on first boot?

It's what happens when you edit it;s transparency..

to change on "fly" is not possible, to change it, re-flash the .zip..

and for the multi window, a fix will come.

with all honesty though, I'm not going to be putting in much more work since the OTA has been pulled..

and since I can't replicate this bug, (it's working fine here strangely enough) there isn't anything I can do, besdies put it back to stock, and you will only have the 5-10 app that stock lets you use for multiwindow.. your choice. it's only one app I need to upload to get it back to stock.

you can use exposed settings for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
I have a quick question Andy (maybe you already explained this earlier) but how come all the addons/fixes aren't added into the base of the AOSP 200mb zip so there is no need to flash multiple zips to get desired results? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
.... because the add-ons/fixes came after the AOSP .zip??

I'm really confused though..

the only add-on is blocking mode and I DID re-upload the AOSP.zip with that...

the only other add-ons are middle clock if you want..

and the dialer fix.. which I JUST did today??

and AOSP theme is a preference, I like it the way it comes, some like the provided add-on..

what .zips are you talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
This makes no sense to me.

I don't understand as I am having no issues...

(ignore the fuzzy crap in the beginning, it was the .apk recording the video...)

Hey guys another question.. If i have the md3 radio can i flash 1.7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
idk why you would be using the MD3 radio, but yes you can.

I suggest the "suggested" firmware..

it is mainly MB1, but with MD3 RPM

the rest of the MD3 firmware blows..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
In regards to any add-ons, it gives people the option to use it or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I've been playing around with some easy MODs

recent button and lock button

in pull down

or

status bar

in the pull down it looks like this: (for AOSP Theme, I may make change it to look like 4.2.2 - like this, with the settings button like it is in TW and the clear button up top to the left of settings. then it would be to the left of that recents/lock depending on what ones you want)

Finally got the lock button in the status bar were I want it to be, it's pretty cool feature..

Saves the power button from being used if you don't want to drag the pull down, down to use the lock toggle.

you can also long press it to bring up the power menu.

Pretty neat and very easy MODs to do.

it would be a huge pain to have to edit the file so many times to be able to give the options for just recent, just lock or both in the pull down, and also the lock button in the status bar, i can offer all these in any order. All of them, or just one, like I am using right now with just the lock button in the status bar..

Is anyone interested in any of these things?

and is it worth my time adding these options into Aroma?

I think we will have to choose a set, like

an option for both recent and the lock button in pull down, and/or the lock button in status bar, I don't think I'll be able to give all the options like just recent, or just the lock button, as it is tied into another file I am already editing in Aroma to change the status bar clock colors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I got my s3 about 2 weeks ago and during the setup it forced a reboot to recovery and installed md3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Well this is why root is amazing. :)

I suggest either using the MB1 firmware link in the OP, or the "suggested" firmware, which is MB1 + MD3 RPM (basically the only good thing to come from MD3 firmware..)

MD3 firmware will give you bad radio, and other issues, I highly suggest flashing a different firmware.

I recently flashed back to stock MB1 firmware.zip using v1.6

Suggested Firmware for both VRBMB1 + VRBMD3 provided to us by prdog1

VRBMB1 firmware

you can flash these at any time in any order.

If you want to say, try MB1, and then want to go back to MD3 you can, etc..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
I'm on v2 and one thing I've noticed with the aosp mm, capturing portrait pictures stays in the portrait format instead of rotating it 90 degrees like its always had in the past. I likey ;)

Does it do this on v1.6 as well or was it fixed in the latest firmware?

Also Andy, it's it possible to add a toggle to turn off 4G?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
That lock button in the status bar is awesome. Countless times I have my phone laying flat, and I have to reach to the side to turn the screen off. I know, that probably sounds really lazy lol But that mod would be a nice addition. As long as it's not to difficult to implement, bring it on. But if it causes any problems for you, I wouldn't stress it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Has anyone or is anyone using next launcher successfully with this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I will have to check into the 4g toggle :)

have you tried using the lock toggle?

there is a toggle in the lidroid toggles for the option to turn the screen off with a toggle, give that a try, I use that.

the lock button in the status bar is real cool a VERY easy to implement,

same with implementing into the pull down bar.

either or is very easy..

I may make the status bar one an Aroma option..

I don't really care for recent button, so,

I may offer the lock button in pull down as well,

so you could use either the toggle (which is already present..)

or option in Aroma for either status bar lock button or pull down lock button, or both. :)

This is how status bar looks

this is how pull down looks (ignore the recents button, I don't like that and don't want to include it..)

That's what I figured, awesome battery life! Would do a test myself on WiFi but my 4g connection is better than WiFi...

I did a small test on battery calibration and it seemed to help a bit with battery life, got about 30 minutes extra of both screen time and time that device was on. All on LTE too:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yes, flash it at anytime you want. Before ROM, after ROM. Flash MD3 firmware and try it out and flash back to MB1 for example as well if you want to experiment with any of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ANDROID 3G:
Quick question.

Hmm I thought that one didn't work. I will run it through Aroma again then. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Works fine on v1.6 but didn't work for v2.0, that's why v2.0 has an add-on.

It looks like your advice worked and everything has cleared up with the voice search. Navigation has also been more stable the second time around. The only other thing that I've found is that setting the status bar transparency to 100% would not stick after a reboot. I've been able to get it stuck with jrummy's tool though.Giving it another day or so for battery life and stability and then I'll be hitting the donate button.

Andybones, just a thought of something that would look cool. The emos on stock mms app are green and are hard to see using certain color combos. Any way to change them black?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Speaking of the stock SMS/MMS app, is it possible to customize the bubble colors ? I'd like colors with a bit more contrast or difference between my bubbles and the other person's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah, on TW MMS, go into settings of the MMS app. You can change the bubble color as well as the background
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
I can help you with that if Andy is busy. Or use the below link to change emo coloring.

Here's a different mms.apk that allows complete customization but the features are a bit different. You'd have to rename old mms (mms.bak) and place this one in system/app. Fix permissions and reboot.

That's not the stock Samsung app. Looks like an AOSP variant that I've used in the past.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minnysota:
Hey Andy! Thanks for the great ROM. I'm looking forward to v1.7.

Is the MD3 RPM noticeably better than MB1? Why is that "suggested" over sticking with all MB1 firmware? Just curious. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You will not notice. Sticking with MB1 is fine. It is mainly for those that already updated to MD3 OTA so they maintain what they can of the firmware they took the time to update. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] howellcp:
That would be great. I'm just looking for them to be black instead of the android green.

Any tutorials on how to do that? I funny mind doing it and sharing. Or if anyone had it already that would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Just ran into something unexpected with a re-install (dirty flash) and Aroma.

I wanted to change the animation style as well as try and get most of the status bar icons a consistent color (Feature request: Add'l color options for status bar clock, icons, etc ;) ). I had asked Andy about this previously and he repeated this recently that Aroma doesn't delete, only adds/installs. Knowing that, if one of the Aroma options was "None" or "Remove", I chose that. For example, the weather widget. I chose the "None" option. When it was done and rebooted, my existing weather widget was GONE. That shouldn't have happened, should it ? I also install a number of apps from the different steps in Aroma (Kies, Media Hub, etc) and didn't check them in the list this time. I can't say definitively but swiping through the app drawer, I was missing apps (I know this because I normally have a half-page of apps on the last page and instead didn't have that last page at all and the actual last page was missing two apps to fill it up).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
You still have to select the stuff you want ... If you only want to try a different boot ani. you would select that boot ani . ALONG with everything else you want ... if select NONE . then it gonna give you NONE :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It will replace and flash what you check each time. It still rebuilds the rom from scratch. At this time have to still check all options as you want them even with Aroma. It is building you a new framework and systemui. Until he adds the persistent state to aroma you will have to recheck all options as you want to see them on device. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I'm doing a dirty flash though. I am NOT wiping it clean. That weather widget is already installed and after a dirty flash, it was gone.

Does this ROM wipe /system by default when installing ? I suspect it does and if so, that would explain it. I don't think it does though. For example, I have the battery percentage (number) turned on in the status bar. I use the Verdana font too. Shouldn't those be reset if /system gets wiped ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSpencerPro:
how long is ur battery usage

I just saw that you also have the zerolemon battery. I've been on the rom for a few days now and I continue to get about 8hours 30 minutes of screen time and almost 2 days out of the battery. Should I be getting better? I'm on stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Whether it wipes or not is irrelevant. Aroma rebuilds and replaces framework and systemui from scratch according to the options you pick. The apks you had before are totally replaced and not just modded. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rozelle25:
I just installed 2.0 this morning. Now it always thinks my headphones are plugged in. Any thoughts? Anything in Aroma i should have checked? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
What do standalone APKs have to do with framework and systemui ? They are simply files in /system/app that should remain.

I'm asking for educational reasons, not doubting or questioning you ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You are rebuilding the entire rom in Aroma unless Aroma had a Flash Mod only option as it is my theme.. If you tell it none that is what it is gonna build. When dirty flash it is gonna replace everything except the 3rd party apps you have installed and the data for all apps since you did not wipe data. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I think was unclear when I said Aroma won't delete. Aroma will delete when the code is to remove an app.

You must pick what you want as if you are installing the ROM like the first time, as essentially, you are.

You pick what you want, if you pick remove, its going to remove, I know its a pain guys but so is Aroma scripting. Id love to get the personal state built in, but ROM comes first than additional goodies.

I have zerolemon 7000 mah battery and have been running this rom for a few days now. I've wiped internal memory, external memory, cache, dalvik cache, fixed permissions, factory data reset, system, pretty much everything I can think of. I'm on 1.6 and MD1. By looking at how much battery time Andy has been able to get on a stock battery, I feel like something is really messed up in my phone. Is my phone not accepting this rom and struggling or what can I do to help increase my battery life. I have tried battery calibration, I tried greenify(it actually drained my battery faster), I have betterybatterystats downloaded, gsam battery monitor, cpu monitor and watchdog. I'm really trying to find the problem of this one but I don't know. I'm running out of ideas here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Maybe you have too many apps going? I only have better battery stats, also I wouldn't compare against my battery life I've never seen anyone get what I can. I delete and don't use any social .apk included gtalk. I have only 15 or so third part apps so I don't have much to drain the battery going on.

If you take the video first (change settings for mms), you can then compose your mms and attach that video. Kind of a round about way, but it works.

another thing can try is,

Open the camera app---Under settings---Recording mode---select Limit for MMS.

I am assuming it is suppose to do that as I never specifically coded it in there, so it must be included in the code that was ported for that lock screen. I may look into disabling it, or maybe making a toggle out of it, granted I can find it.
