Hi OP, i just wanted to say, ive had the S3 international since october and used AOKP CM based roms with little success due to major bugs such as camera and battery etc. Stayed on custom touchwiz based roms but really hated the slowness and inefficiency of touchwiz. With the new halo feature i really wanted to go back but dreaded the issues. Seeing your flavoured ROM i must say i am really happy with the results. Only LED doesnt work which i can live with. Had to flash Siyah kernel and undervolt by -25mv and battery life is amazing. I do have a 5000 mah battery. So far drainage works on average at 10% per hour of screen on time. I usually get 10 hours screen on with touchwiz but think i can get more with this rom. Only had it for 2 days. Just wanted to tell you your work is very much so appreciated and id be happy to donate if i can stick with this ROM over the next few days. Of course kudos to Team Dirt as well... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Yeah got my zerolemon 7000mah battery in this morning. Charged for 12 hours and now testing it! Will take a few cycles ofcourse but yeah (sorry for offtopic lol)

In your world I would be considered crazy, in my world too but they know me here at least.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jicv:
I tried some similar roms but the ribbons do not bring the power toggles as AOKP. This ROM brings? Thank you. Looks good.

I'm using this ROM for a few days already, looks good so far, but it has some issues:

1- when I receive a call, the screen is half black (covered by the answer circle). I think this does not happen when I have set a picture for the contact that is calling

2- the battery is kinda' bad, only 2days with low usage (30mins calls, 2h of screen);

3- a few other small issues that don't really matter for me.

The battery is something that I really want to improve....but not sure how. (use other kernel?)

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Use a kernel that is compatible with 4.2..2 cm like siyah googy Max temasek etc etc battery life is very much kernel related undervolting it a tiny bit helps in many cases allot already although personally I don't do this as I find it OK to charge my phone whenever I can plus I have a 7000mah battery now so I will roll a few days with a full charge

In your world I would be considered crazy, in my world too but they know me here at least.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MungoHigh:
Yeah, it's working. See attached screenshot.

i think it looks quite same like on other roms, just normal.

For your battery life ..I don't want to be rude, but you're really complaining about 2 days and 2 hours onscreen time with stock 2100mAh battery?! It's a fantastic battery life :D But like Mcwurth already said, try using another kernel and play around with some undervolting.

Also take a look in BetterBatterytats what apps are draining battery. But anyway thanks for the review and keep on enjoying Dirty Unicorns :)

7000 mah?! Lol thats big :D Using the 3000mah original samsung battery for myself and it holds up to 3 days :D

General Information

I was nominated as official maintainer for i9300 , so after the next update the thread will be marked as "official" too :)

Maybe it will take a few days until the next build will be released, but we want to release Dirty Unicorns 4.0 for all supported devices at the same time so please be patient :)

Thanks for all your reviews and thanks, keep on enjoying Dirty Unicorns!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Congrats man nothing but good about this rom and your support with it! You deserve that.

I been trying out a bunch of themes but obviously there is not a 100% theme for this rom. Now I'm not going to promise anything but I am actually thinking to grab the moment and make an exclusive (or a couple when it gets easier) for this rom. Some extensive research has been done and trying to work out some ideas ATM. Its allot of work and I will have to do it in between family school and work life in but I think I will give it a go anyway.

And the battery well I live in the north of Sweden and it is not unusual to be a couple of days out in the open with no power :p

Just noticed one thing. When I uninstall a theme the theme chooser Crasher. Either through rom toolbox or theme chooser.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndiTails:
Absolutely love this ROM. Works beautifully and no random hangs I used to get with Paranoid Android.

Torch works for me on the Quick Drawer, but not on the Power menu. No biggy.

Not noticed the LED not working yet either.. All good!

Thanks for a great ROM, excellent news on now being Official and looking forward to v4 (but no rush, as this is running sweet!)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marius_rg:
Well, regarding the battery, for me 2days with this low usage is not normal, since I was getting even like 6days with JB, same battery and like 3-4h screen time, 1h call time....etc. (I know my phone and apps, no need to monitor the usage with third party tools)

Anyway, thanks for the reply and will see if with another kernel I might get a bit better battery life. Looking forward also for the next release.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
2 days with low usage? That's insane man. What rom did you use?

In your world I would be considered crazy, in my world too but they know me here at least.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marius_rg:
With this ROM I'm getting 2 days :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Considering that most roms don't last a day without any kernel tweaks I think you did great.

Camera issues

Is anyone else having issues with the camera when recording video? it works first time but then it starts freezing and FCs then i get 'cannot connect to camera' only a reboot fixes this.

I have reinstalled the rom and cleared cache and fix permissions but no joy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
No I have not encountered this issue. One time it started stutter allot and fc'd but that was due to being the storage was completely full.

What I did have once though (which I didn't/don't blame on the rom) was that I opened the camera app got a green lined screen and the phone restarted out of its own. But this I have had on another rom aswell before DU.

Sorry I can't help you at all with the wall of text lol

[Galaxy S III Android Development] marvin.speakman:
OK thanks anyway, i'll try a clean install and see if that solves it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jicv:
Fantastic ROM. Smooth, fast and everything works ok. But I have a question:

when I launch an application or back to the home screen, the status bar changes color instantly. Someone did this happen?

Thanks and good work.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Could you explain a bit more? Does it change to the default settings from the rom or? It could be that the rom control settings interfere with the PA settings. I suggest to use the PA or the rom settings not both at the same time. IF you use both make sure to set the statusbar colors and icon colors in the ROM controlled settings this is how I solved it.

Hope I helped

[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndiTails:
When on the Launcher, the taskbar is transparent.

When an App launches, to ensure you don't see a part of your wallpaper below (which would look a little odd) it loses the transparency and becomes solid along with the rest of the App.

Makes sense really!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jicv:
I will see it. thanks.

How do I change the font?

I typed this by hand.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
1- why in andy's name would you want to change to another font? (Just curious no bad intentions)

2- I do not think you can in the options tbh.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Techniques:
I'm just so used to the Roemary font. The Roboto font looks off to me. I tried installing various font changers font changers in the market and they don't work.

I typed this by hand.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EarthquakeXS:
got same problem with fonts. it tried a flashable font, doesn't work on 03/07.

The system font ist too small und thin.

Anyone an idea?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MungoHigh:
i'm grateful , thanks :) A few weeks ago i tried to make a holo-light theme too, but i failed :D I noticed, it's harder then it looks.

My Skills are not enough but maybe yours ? :)

I tried to unistall a theme via theme chooser just now..and it worked without Fc's. Hm was 03.07 a clean install or an update? We're using the new theme engine from Jellybam (i think :D ) and i heared that it causes some problems if it's not a clean install..but I'm not sure :/

And thanks a lot for your great activity and support in this thread..it's nice to have someone who answer questions too :)

I made a video just now and encountered no problems, even touch to focus with flash enabled works fine because of codeworkx great work. Are you using any third party camera apk's, like the new 4.3 cam ? It was reported many times that this causes problems and reboots.. Another solution you can try is wiping the data of gallery.apk ..

If i understand your problem correctly ..it's because of pa colors. You can change the colors for each app seperatly ..so the color changes only when launching the app. If you go back to the Homescreen (Launcher) the chosen color of your launcher get's applied again. It's normally the stock holo-blue colors..But you can change it in pa prefs too.

Hm good question, but i don't know the answer too :D never changed the font..

Normally font's are located in /system/font . Try to delete the whole font's inside the folder ..and put in the new one's manuelly and set the right permissions .

BUT make a nandroid backup first..don't know what will happen..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marvin.speakman:
Just cleared the gallery.apk data and made 4 videos fine ... no idea what that was, thanks for the solution :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Yes it is very hard this theming and I'm not a master at all at theming but I will give it a go atleast :)

Yeah I think I did update only so that might have been the issue then. As per usual I don't wipe all every time only 5th rom I flash I do a megawipe. Will do it with next update :cool:

My new battery rocks madness listening music and watching movie playing games taking picture and the likes and I get this and it is only first cycle yet lol

The "support" I give is al cool man I really love this rim and are greatfull you took it to the s3 anything I can do to help :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MungoHigh:
what the heeeeell :D 10 hours and still 37% left?! Maybe i should buy one too :D but the battery is quite thick , right? :/

Edit : already tried to clear data of designs.apk? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcwurth:
Yes it gets about 3 times its original thickness and weight but the cover you get with it covers the edges very well and I am glad for the extra weight as of now I feel it actually sitting in my pocket and I'm not so afraid anymore to bend down for whatever and crack the thing in half. Feels a bit more like a telephone now. Then again I'm used to have one of them old old oooold Nokia's lol.

You mean clear data of the theme? Otherwise I have no designs.apk......

In your world I would be considered crazy, in my world too but they know me here at least.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MungoHigh:
Yeah, i had the fear to break it too , but now with the 3000 mah battery is okay :)

jaha that is the german name for it :P in english its theme chooser. all i could do is clear cache clear data is "greyed out"... not sure might have been a ****ty install due to not fully wiping my internal. will see with next update it is not that i install themes all the time ussually pick one and get stuck with it :P

just bought a note 2 for the lady of the house this week and it is her first android and she is already talking she wants the same launcher as i have because the touchwiz launcher is so crappy xD but she said im not allowed to root and flash it ...... bah. oh well she will turn over as soon it gets laggy crashy and crappy :P but yeah she need it for school atm (which is about 800KM from home) to record her lectures and make notes. easyer then dragging a laptop around.... hehehe

[HTC One V] shaggydiamond:
Rumours about android 5.0 are starting to spread and I'd thought to make a discussion topic about it here.

Google says android 5.0 is more optimized than Jellybean. Thus so it can also run well on devices with 512 ram.

We havent seen that kind of android since gingerbread.

Now we all know HTC left our One V hanging regarding Jellybean, of course there are Jellybean ROM developers but it would be nice if HTC hooked us up.

Even though HTC might not roll the update for Key Lime Pie out to our One V's, I am still very curious how this version of android would run on our devices.

Let me know what you think by commenting below,

Shaggydiamond
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
I thought 4.3 jb was gonna be announced. I'm positive though that HTC won't upgrade us at all. So custom Rom development is the only way we would get klp when google announces and finishes it.

The hero CDMA can run jb (after being dropped at eclair) so so I'm sure our phones will run 4.3 and 5 unofficially.
[HTC One V] Reisen Udongein Inaba:
To be honest I'm not sure HTC would revisit old devices but like you said, there'll be unofficial ways. It's like I got my A3333 Wildfire running CM10.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
Hello people,

most of the time, during the night, I left my phone in Airplane mode and usually loose around 2% (~7 hours).

But since some weeks, I find my battery lose approx. 1% per hour...and I don't know why.

I tried to find wakelocks but nothing really evident -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42248819&postcount=14809

So I'm wondering, if like me you're using sometimes the Airplane Mode, how much battery are you losing per hour ?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
I can use AP for about 10 hours (never tested longer), without losing a single percentage. Did you check for wakelocks?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1% if I hit snooze on the alarm 5-6 times over half an hour, 0% if I switch the alarm off as soon as it goes off (This is over 8-10 hrs).

Edit - Battery could be on the way out if you've had the phone for a while.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
As I said, I already bought a new battery.

As you can see here there's nothing really obvious, for my part I do not see wakelocks

However, in normal usage, when I make some calls, I can see the battery draining much more than before.

I had some doubt about the open source RIL implemented in CM but I recently flashed an older nightlies (prior to open source RIL commits) and get the same drain in Airplane mode...around 1% per hour.

Anyway the small draining you get with your respective is showing that there's really something wrong on my phone.

The question is: What's wrong ?! :cool:

Thank you for replying
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Quite weird, because I can't detect any bad wakelocks in that post either.. Maybe try another rom (Samsung based) to test it out? I don't use CM anymore so I can't say anything about it, but Samsung-based roms work really good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No, you did not mention a new battery in your OP. This is the first time you've mentioned it.

Your OP:-

Where does it say 'the battery is new' or 'I've got a fairly new battery' or 'I just bought a new battery'.

A: It doesn't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
My bad, sorry. I was sure to have mentioned that my battery was new. That being said, now you know that I changed the battery ;)

Yesterday, I made a full wipe (again) ...factory reset, format /system, run GS2ROMNuke script then flashed the latest CM nightly.

After the first boot I just configured the Wi-Fi access point, my mail account and disabled location services. Nothing more than CM installed.

Then I waited the phone was in full charge (~2 hours),then disabled sync, Wi-Fi, switch in airplane mode and unplugged the power supply.

The phone has been left in this state for ~11 hours, believe me, the phone lose around 11% of battery.

I'm losing it :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
Anyone with an advice ?

Could it be due to the phone itself, some hardware faulty component ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Since you're already testing it all now, why not try a Samsung based rom like I suggested..? Maybe it makes the difference for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredC94:
yep you're right and I'll probably flash a Samsung stock ROM

However, just for sharing, someone pointed me out this interesting thread where some users had the same issue.

Unfortunately, it seems to be an hardware related issue.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevenRoboDev:
So my friends attempted to use SevenEighter and used the wrong language pack in doing so. He got an error message off of that, or something (I'm not sure exactly what happened). Either way, he didn't know what he was doing, and so in a panic, he tried to restore his phone using Zune. This caused a lot of problems. Among them, he now cannot access the wifi settings on his phone and is still on 7.5. So now he's in some kind of Windows Phone limbo and I don't know how to fix it. I've already tried using the support pack, but it keeps giving me errors. Any help would be nice.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] dEhiN:
I need some help upgrading my current CM 10.1 M3 ROM to the new CM 10.1 R2 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217288). According to the R2 thread, the steps to upgrade are:

I'm still fairly new to flashing non-stock ROMs and using CWM, etc. My first real attempt was replacing the stock GB ROM (I'm on Rogers in Canada) to CM 10.1 M3. I have CWM on my Captivate Glide. Can someone please confirm if the following is what I should do:

1) Plug my phone into the computer and transfer using MTP the R2 and GAPPS ROMs to the internal SD card

2) Unplug the phone and shut off the phone

3) Holding the up volume key, press and hold the power key until the phone boots into the CWM

4) Use CWM to back up my current ROM*

2) Perform wipe/factory reset

3) Flash the R2 ROM

4) Flash the GAPPS ROM

If this is correct, I have a couple of follow-up questions.

*Will CWM back up my current ROM - including all apps + data - to the internal SD? If so should I clear space on my SD to allow room? I use Titanium Backup (the free version) to backup all my apps + data. Is that enough? Once I flash the upgraded ROM, how do I reinstall all my apps + data? Should I use Titanium Backup? Should I use CWM to restore apps + data? Will either CWM or Titanium Backup differentiate between system apps & data app?

I ask because I'd rather find out all the information I can before I perform the upgrade. So any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Neuntoter:
Pretty sure it's down?

Up is ODIN download mode.

Not 100% but if you get a little message in the top left corner then that is recovery, and a warning message about are you sure you want to flash this is Download mode.

You want recovery.

Since you are already on CM you should actually have a reboot option for going into recovery.

I know nothing of CWM and use TWRP, anyways TWRP lets you save it to external or internal and allows you to choose what you backup (system, data, sdcard, and etc).

I honestly just use Titanium and backup my apps and data. Since I store my roms all on external I can pop it into a computer if I screw something up and fresh clean installs seem so much well fresh and clean.

CWM probably is more macro when it comes to app backup, like backing them all up in one clump, while Titanium handles apps backup individually so you only restore and backup what you want.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
CWM, there's an option to backup using old method, I can't recall exactly what it says but it will backup your entire rom into a tar.gzip file. The new method uses a blobs folder takes lots of space and to me, doesnt make sense. Backup using "backup to external SD" and to restore in future, "Restore from external SD"

Everything you put there (exempt you need to hold DOWN instead of UP as the phone reboots as mentioned above) is good to go.

Backup everything with Titanium backup but know that nothing like email etc will be recoverable between roms (at least in my experience). For Call Log and SMS use "Call Log Backup and restore" and " SMS Backup and restore" I find they are faster and beat Titanium.

Backup WiFi access points in Titanium and all of your non-system apps. Make sure to hand pick your apps to restore from Ti when your room is booted.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dEhiN:
Thanks to both of you [MENTION=5112942]Neuntoter[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4913608]yohan4ws[/MENTION] for the replies. I upgraded successfully. I used Titanium Backup but didn't really need to. I just had to backup using CWM (which, [MENTION=4913608]yohan4ws[/MENTION] you mentioned, backed up everything into a blobs folder), wipe the data, install the new ROM, and restore everything. And it booted fine. I'm definitely going to try the tar.gzip method next time though. My whole 4GB internal SD was nearly filled up with the backup!
