[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
ArchiDroid 2.1.6

Featuring boeffla... Once again :D

Changelog

ArchiDroid 2.1.6

- All custom keyboards (including hacker's and touchpal) are now installed as SYSTEM apps, not user apps.

# This change was borrowed from ArchiDroid 1.X, thanks to [MENTION=3435143]qgp[/MENTION] from my local polish android forum.

# A keyboard is required to decrypt encrypted /data partition, and thus it's impossible to do so without a keyboard available as system app.

# Full wipe is not required but I advise to manualy delete TouchPal and/or Hacker's keyboard from /data/app because it may be doubled now.

# Touchpal is NOT COMPATIBLE with /system/app, thus it has been reverted to /data/app as before. I don't like it.

- Aroma cleaning, round #2, #3 and #4

# Round 2 - Aroma is now fully multi-language compatible, thanks to total rewrite basicly everything.

# If you would like to see your own language in aroma please take a look at HOWTO on xda's topic of ArchiDroid 2.X project.

# As for now we have Albanian (thanks to CEPi), German (thanks to beyerservice) and Turkish (thanks to ZiR0 & MadCoderz). I've also fixed English and Polish languages by myself.

# Round 3 - Finally I was able to throw away useless /tmp/bash during installation, thus changing all my script to native sh provided by busybox instead.

# This may have positive effect on freezing during executing my scripts at 8% in aroma. Additionally I slightly rewrited my scripts to minimize risk of a freeze.

# Round 4 - I also threw away old update-binary-installer and replaced it with native CyanogenMod's one. This can also have positive effect on overall flashing.

- Added Online Nandroid Backup (onandroid 9.00) utility to /system/bin.

# Onandroid gives you a possibility of doing backup without rebooting to recovery. This isn't an app, it's a very advanced script which I can include with AD.

# I've also written a script for you - ArchiDroid_OnlineNandroidBackup, which makes a backup with just one click. To learn more please type onandroid -h from terminal.

# This tool has been developed by [MENTION=4540978]ameer1234567890[/MENTION]. All credit goes to him, I'm only utilizing his tool in my own scripts.

- Added long awaited Boeffla Kernel [EXPERIMENTAL].

# Comes with Boeffla-Config app. There is a high chance that this kernel will be suggested one in near future, because I love it!

# Expect also some nice presets of mine in near future.

# As for now I marked it as experimental due to misc issue with non-refreshing logcat bootanimation (yes, your phone isn't freezed, just wait), lack of presets and my not yet finished implementation.

# It works just fine but please keep in mind that logcat bootanimation is stuck and it's rather a new kernel so it needs still some tests from me. Otherwise it's stable and well-made for daily use.

- Updated App Settings (Xposed Module) to 1.5

- Updated Googy Max kernel to 1.7.3

- Updated Greenify to 1.95

- Updated (and fixed) Adobe Flash Player to 11.1.115.81. Thanks to [MENTION=3153836]kopicha[/MENTION]

- Updated PhilZ Touch Recovery to 5.15.0

- Updated temasek sources to V48 (this includes f.e. fixed active display with bugged proximity sensor)

- Misc bugfixes to aroma (this includes f.e. fixed yank's kernel flashing problem)

- Other misc fixes and improvements on aroma-side, f.e. new fancy prompt, lawl!

Known Issues

1. Latest AROMA may hang during installation. If you get stuck at 0.00% or 8.00% for more than a few seconds then hold on vol-up+home+power button and try again. Notice: don't move too fast through aroma pages, because this is probably the reason. I'm working on this issue. Fixed?

2. CyanogenMod account does not work yet when setting up for first time. Just git "Skip" button. Fixed.

3. Please install ArchiDroid from your internal card if possible. There is a rare bug which cause no root access, No Keyboard / Big Keyboard, no wi-fi connection and more issues. It's somehow related to external sd card but personally I didn't face this issue (installing always from ext sd), so it's not global. Fixed?

4. There is a temporary bug with proximity sensor being always on. Nothing to worry about, we know about it. Probably it'll be fixed in the next release. Fixed.

5. There is a bug with installing Yank's kernel from aroma. Installer will encounter bug during updater-script. It is fixed in the current experimental, thanks to [MENTION=3725660]veritum[/MENTION] Fixed.

Please note that boeffla kernel is not yet ArchiDroid-Backend ready (read changelog) but that's only a misc issue and kernel itself is a very stable and well-made. Don't get shocked if it'll be default one in next release :cool:

Also I *think* that I've finished aroma the way I like it. I'm not sure if it helps much but at least I have my little placebo feeling that everything is right on my side now. I didn't get a single freeze mixing both Custom & Archi presets since Round #1 in previous release but now it's more stable than ever before.

Lastly I'd like to thank you guys for continuous support and making ArchiDroid one of the best ROMs for SGS3. I hope to make it even better in the future, because as you may notice I've just finished aroma stuff and have a plenty of free space on todo list :D.

As for now...

1. I'm talking with Andi about presets for boeffla and some misc things which I'd like to see in next release.

2. I'm still fixing other misc issues, nothing much, but worth a while.

3. More to come?

After I'll finish all three above steps I'll be happy to have a round of self-compiling from my own sources, this is where ArchiDroid 2.2 will kick in. However I'm not going to abandon temasek/cristiano as you may know, it's more like a practice of compiling from their sources instead of waiting for their releases. However it's still a looong way to get here. I'm sure that "more important things" will pop up :).

If you respect my time put into this project you can always consider a small donation. Thank you!
