OK that's what I thought, transparency isn't the easiest to do with a .PNG , for me anyway. If you want to put your own images in it though I do suggest trying, real easy, just open the .zip (either or, ROM or theme or middle clock) and go into aroma/status bar/trans/ and there u find the folders for 100/75/50/25 and stock, just go into the one u want yo change/fix and ull find the status bar .PNG to edit,in the meantime I will work on better images as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
No problem man. I didn't know how much labor actually goes into that mod and just wanted to see what the plans were for AOSP theme. Certainly not worth the time for a more compact settings menu (I think I'm the only one that notices this anyway).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Very much appreciated, Sir :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
Hmm 1.4 possibly based off the 4.2.2 leak? :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
No this ROM will remain 4.1.2 but! There's a 4.2.2 leak?? A new ROM would be made for this :)

Edit: nvm I see the leak, unfortunately I can't make a ROM from that at best I may be able to pull things, we shall see, but man would 4.2.2 be awesome or what?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Oh wow I stand corrected, I believe a more experiencee dev can make this into a ROM.zip, I personally do not know how this is my first Samsung phone from a long v time HTC user, but once someone else makes it into a stock ROM.zip I can't wait to start working with it, granted permission is there, which I hope, I don't see the need to reinvent the wheel. If no one else makes this into a ROM I will def. Spend time into trying to figure out how. Scott though is really great at getting us stock bases yo work with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
Absolutely, if these are poppin out already I give it a few weeks before there's one to build off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Scrosler made an appearance on cleanrom late last night. Said something about an update... he normally only does ota's but he might be a little bored. Maybe he's got something going down as far as a leak? Who knows... :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Good luck with that bruh, seriously but two questions. Wouldn't that be very difficult given that its for the international GSIII? Wouldn't a leak for any US GSIII be more beneficial whenever that presents itself?

ok, thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wscaddie56:
lazy question here but is it possible to configure this rom to use the old 'experimental' Google wifi tether app with this rom or is the treve solution from the second post the only option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The original Android wifi tether that Trev's is based off has been updated and is back in the Market. Verizon hotspot works fine from Lidroid toggle in dropdown. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wscaddie56:
I stand by my description as a lazy question! thanks for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
quick question-

When I open up google now, on the stock ROM it made that noise that prompts you when to speak. Was this noise removed from the version that was included in bonestock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
as Prdog1 said, any tether option should work :)

I didn't remove it :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
So I am running BoneStock 3.1 It has been running great with one exception. I have a few apps that write to the external SD card. Or did, but they are not working anymore. I tried to download a torrent and received the following messge, "Error: No such file or directory." I tried saving to several different folders and no such luck. Then I tried to save to the internal storage and it worked fine.

I looked into this further and found that there needs to be a permissions change to the platform.xml inside system>etc>permissions. I checked this file and the change was already added for apps to allow to write to the SD card, however it is still not working for me.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That is a mod from another thread. Need to go to that thread. Nothing to do with rom and can't support. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
Thanks but this problem didn't start until I loaded bone stock. I have no problems running stock rooted. So why wouldn't this have to do with this ROM? I have searched for this issue and haven't found much using the mobile app. If you can link me to the correct thread that would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Wherever you got the app. We have no clue. My guess it only works on stock since we change a lot of files. The rom mods apparently break what ever files it is dependent on. There is a hack for making it think sd card is internal memory so need to search for that. Never had a reason to move apps to sd since the 2GB internal days.

:cool:

BoneStock FTMFW

Coming out of my shell to say "THANKS" to andybones and contributors for a rock-solid ROM. Been running this since 3.0, and love the fact that it's TouchWiz-based so it plays nice with the radio/modem, and I can have the few Samsung/TouchWiz-based features I enjoy (SmartStay).

Keep up the great work, kids!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
voice is activated, and I have google tts installed and set as default... im at a loss here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
Well "where ever I got the app" was from the google play store. It was not a sideloaded app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bittorrent.client

This is ROM specific I believe as chainfire has a post about this on his site. It appears to be a known issue that was patched on cyanogenmod, which I did not want to use. I understand this ROM has a lot of mods to it and it has been running great for me. I am not trying to knock it in anyway. But I am looking for support since this problem did not start until I loaded this ROM. I also imagine other people may run into this problem down the road. I usually don't post unless I have hit a dead end and cannot figure it out myself. I am usually good with google searches and researching my issue. (I work in I.T. I know how to search.) But what I am looking for is some possible support as the answers I found are not working.

http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_/

If you want to not be supportive at all that is fine. I will try loading another ROM and see if my problem still persist. It would have been nice to continue using BoneStock and supporting the devs who created it.

Thank you for your efforts.

Edit: I also want to mention I cannot copy files from my Internal SD to the extSD. If it is a simple oversight that is fair. I am going to try backing up the SD card and reformatting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
What size is your sdcard? Might need to format it to exfat or something...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WestOkid:
Just wanted to say thanks for a sweet ROM. Coming from Cyanogenmod.I don't like touchwiz but I hate bugs. The nail in the coffin was the low recording volume on videos. Ruined my daughter's recital. Running 3.2 with AOSP theme. I haven't found any issues. Very solid with tons of options. With the stability of stock, the customizations, and look of AOSP; I am definitely having my cake and eating it. Thanks again Mr. Bones

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
hey andy, not sure how you can make this rom any better but i have a few suggestions:

1. xposed framework option

2. multiwindow theme options

3. chrome beta option (the newest release is probably the best browser i've used, and i've used EVERYTHING)

4. Possible AOSP Black theme in addition to the current AOSP gray theme

5. New google play bootani --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362408

6. Disable ASEC (similar to synergy?) --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179496

7. Maybe some of these ported apps --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2335530

of course, make all these as options in aroma ;) just my 2c, i'll be happy with whatever you release :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Xposed you can install yourself, if he adds it into the rom it's just going to be like the apk that installs it.

Link to ge boot animations with 4 types resized for our device as well

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
i know .. but it would be nice to include it like he did apollo, adfree, etc.. as an aroma option. personally the xposed multiwindow mod is a must for me on every rom..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Exposed is not going in aroma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
1) no

2) no

3) no

4) no

5) not sure will Iook

6) not sure will look

7) no

I am not doing any theming.

And aroma is full sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Most of these can be installed by the user. I add all sorts of stuff. I like a rom with basic features and add what I like which may not be stuff others want.

Exposed its a simple install and has way too many add ons to include in the rom imo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Man, if he adds all that stuff to the aroma package, the download is going to be enormous!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
100% agree, exposed has too much add-ons and will never be included in the ROM.

100% agree here too. I was thinking of trimming down on Aroma as it is, def. not looking to add any more stuff to it, esp stuff that can be downloaded by the user.

--------------------------------------------

I still can't wrap my brain around why everyone thinks everything needs to be in Aroma to use it.

The ROM is set up to change boot animations very easily, those will never be in Aroma.. once I add one boot animation it's going to be like the colors, I want this, and that.

I also will not add any more applications to Aroma that can be downloaded from the play store, please don't ask. I also will NOT do any themeing guys.

It seems about 95% of the current requests have been nothing but themeing and stuff. I know I used to do MOD requests and stuff, but this isn't that thread, gotta remember this is my ROM thread. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The app is working fine to external card here. Wipe everything and reflash. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
so, what is the issue that is only happening on my ROM?

I would put down money that if the issue is on this ROM, it's on cleanROM as well.. probably others..

how can I help, though?

I was too lazy to go back and read figured u could just get me up to date
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
He can't download torrents to External SD or move files from internal to External. Already tested and everything is good here. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
I do know now if it is on other Roms, I have no doubt it is.

As of this morning I had formatted both external and internal SD cards and wiped the phone and put stock back on. It worked fine.

Wiped both SD cards again and wiped the phone and reinstalled BoneStock 3.2 and the problem persists.

So then I tested with various other SD cards and still had the same problem.

I am now back on the stock rooted rom and the original SD card and have no problem.

The problem I was having was I could not download any applications or files to the SD card, or if I copy from the internal card to the extSD it would also fail.

Any help would be great. Even if it is pointing to an article with a fix. I tried chanfires suggestions and what he had said to do on his site and the changes were already done.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Isn't there a problem with 64gb sd cards? Don't you need to change the format to work or something? I asked and he didn't reply back...

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
32+GB cards come formatted to exFat and are compatable with stock kernel and TWRP. Not sure if CWM reads exfat or not. Phone doesn't read fat32 but all recoveries will. If was working on stock had to be formatted to exFat. Sounds like bad or dirty flash to me. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
just tested and working fine here??

prdog1 was kind enough to test as well.

what kind of sdcard you have?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
And to think, these same users rooted their phones ! :p

I suggested to you before to not include anything that's available in the Play Store and you said the apps are small. Yes, each app itself is small but when you add them ALL up, how much are they ? 100-200mb ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
I have a 32GB SD card formatted to FAT32 and can not reproduce this issue at all. Everything is working as it should for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
Thanks everyone for the quick replies. The card I am using is a gskill 32gb. It is formatted as Fat32 no exfat. I used the phone itself to format the card.

I have no problems with cwm reading the files on the card. I also did not dirty flash I always use the wipe all three and perform a clean install.

I really do appreciate the help. You have shown it is working by multiple users so it must be something with my phone or card, not sure.

And BoneStock is a great ROM as well and I do enjoy your work the devs have put into this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
Have you tried using ODIN to go back to complete stock, then re-rooting and trying again? Also what version of Recovery are you on? Latest version what whatever you are running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If you used the phone to format card it is exFat and not Fat32 as exFat is the phone default file system. All 32 +GB cards also come exFat from the manufacturer as far as I know. Also is the card showing up in Settings/storage. Full wipe is 4 and not 3. Data, System, dalvik and cache.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
I was not aware what the formatted it as. I did use the phone to format. When I checked it in my PC it was labeled at fat32. I will also try formatting it again later.

I am using CWM touch 6.0.3.2. I have not Odin back to complete stock. But I have no problems with my extsd on the rooted stock ROM anyways. Maybe I will try this tonight. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
200mb really isn't much...

I had already planned on removing some .apks from aroma for next release, not sure though. Everything is perfect right now, but some things can be removed such as Kindle for ex.

I won't remove all apps that are in play store, such as gmail, maps, stuff like that.

not sure yet, I may trim it down some for next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Was the card encrypted?

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If card is formatted Fat32 the phone may not see it. Only recovery and PC will see it. :cool:

Awesome! I delete most of those first thing. You just saving a brother time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Agreed. I see no problems with the deletions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
how do you mean delete though?

you always had an option to not install them in Aroma :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royta:
ES File Explorer is my primary file explorer app and is the very first app I open so that I can install the Titanium apk stored on my external SD card. I'd hate to see it disappear. The Google apps, sans Magazines & Books, might be nice to keep around too. Keep Flash, Terminal, My Verizon too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
They can all be downloaded off the play store?

Better yet you can download your file explorer and then retrieve your backup with tibu the same way as if it were installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
Like it! Post it! I want to install it!

Great job with the ROM! I love the all the options you have available for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
what is so hard about downloading them from the market!?

I don't get it???

I am trimming down Aroma, for a reason.

these apps can be should be downloaded from market or using a backup tool to restore them.

I won't add back ES, sorry.

just select none, then download from the play store..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Will post when it's ready.. ;)

----------------------

on a side note, nothing to do with the jskolm

again I have to preach

JUST BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN AROMA DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T FIGURE THINGS OUT FOR YOURSELFS.

YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE I EXPECT THOSE TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AN APP!

this really drives me nuts guys, I am not doing this to make your lives more difficult, but rather to make the process easier..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jskolm:
Agreed. I usually say no to all the apps in Aroma anyway and install them from the Play store as it is.

Andy you put out a ROM that you love and we will love it too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdogbosdroid:
Good call. I, for one, use a lot blacked out apps anyway, so I don't install a great many of those on your list. Looking forward to the new update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RRF12:
Fix it like you want it an well use it great to get to use this.Thanks I am enjoying your rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
How about keeping flash? It hasn't been on the play market for a long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
it's not on play store cos no compatible with our phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It says not compatible but the JB version from Adobe site does work. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
Honestly if anyone is bummed about something being removed for next release and even if it is an app that's no longer in the play store just back it up before flashing new ROM version and then restore after new flash. Like RRF12 said... fix it like you want it. We will either adjust and like it or those who don't like it can jump ship.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
only .apks were removed that are in play store..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
It works just fine with JB. Maybe you should include it? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yup, was already pointed out, not sure why you are posting this.

He/she is probably thinking of when installing a "stock" ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I will consider adding back ES file for next release..

3.3 is already too far along.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Looks good to me Andy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royta:
We'll all adjust just fine with your changes.

I do have a question though, if you don't mind. If I choose the stock file explorer, what is the best way to delete it once I install my file explorer of choice? Would I just delete it from /system/apps/ and then reboot?

Thanks.

either choose none and download ES file

or select stock and to delete it's just like ANY other .apk..

remove from system/app

I found that if I hit the menu button I can add a call but like when I'm in call and I accept the call waiting caller that I cant swap between them I know this is probably been covered a million times I'm just being lazy I imagine.

And to be clear I definitely picked Auto call recorder

haha no prob. bro.

just remove the record button and change back to add call like stock, then u can do auto call reocrd, or jut press menu to record a call, and u can swap between calls like normal.

yea a reboot is required for the record button changing. :)

not needed for the ringtone, call delay, incoming call options. :cool:
