3.1 experimental review

The latest experimental (15 jul) is by far the worst experimental version. Very luggy with lots of forecloses.

After using the experimental (25 apr) for almost a month, I had no forecloses and no lugs at all. The only thing that wasnt working was the spiritfm and some other apps which I dont remember (and it didnt bother me). [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] I have no idea of the changes you made between 25 Apr and 15 Jul experimental but if you want my opinion stick to the oldest experimental as a base. The new one has lots of problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
It reminds me of this touching post from our master of no-backup & risky life [MENTION=4792943]raylogic[/MENTION] [emoji23]

Even though, he was a bit more precise I'd say.. [emoji57]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ep2610:
You're right.

To be more specific I will give you an example...

After a call i put my phone into standby. Then I try to open it and reboots!

After the alarm wakes me up the phone reboots!

The spiritfm says something about deamon and no matter what i do i still can fix it.

Some times the phone is luggy. When I open synapse to see the working cores, all 4 cores are in max value (1600). Then the phone reboots! I have set it to zzmoove - relax.

When I open my phone from standby takes up to 2 seconds to wake screen. But not always...

When the phone rungs the screen doesnt open immediately! Some times doesnt open at all...

And these are what a I can recall for a 2 days try out the experimental 15 of July.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Steinhund:
OK, we'll see. What I was wondering is that even G+ was shown as incompatible. The PayPal app issue was present in different times, even in some Samsung stick ROMs after a firmware update. But G+? C'mon Google! Sometimes they do weird things those days (see force closes of G services in KitKat) :)

Guys, read the second post about creating your own .zip from [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] github. Do that then clean install after formatting /system.

This build is more stable and fast than any of the prior builds. The app incompatible issue with GAPPS is fixed with recent commits and so far is working without issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajo81:
What about Skype and viber issues? ? Is it fixed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sma5hley:
I don't use either of them so can't comment.. It seems like everything else is rocketing along though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
..and don't forget to choose Koush, not SuperSU. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] igsoc21:
Same here dude! +1

I've never experienced this until earlier today, when I got a phone call, answered it after 10-20 seconds the phone reboots by itself. after that reboot, I got a phone call again then the phone reboots again, then it never stop, I counted 6 times then I realized this has to stop because its getting too hot. I remove the battery then insert again, the phone starts by itself, then I got a chance to POWER OFF. lucky for me it stopped from there. Now I'm gonna try the new EXP with boeffla kernel, hope it works.

I was just thinking, is it because of the synapse app that keeps on rebooting the phone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fbiangel:
Still No issuses, no problems here. Im running updated Boeffla. Phone calls are working. Nothing to report...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xollen:
were do can i find experimental 25 apr 3.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ep2610:
I really dont know. Maybe [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] can work around it. I also have battery temperature issues...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kiryl:
Guys,

just noticed that when I install Koush Superuser I have no root on my phone nor any application to maintain root privileges (most likely because of the lack of the root).

And when I choose the standard Root and SuperSU app my phone keeps rebooting after some time.

Does anyone have the same issue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
Have you enabled root access in the developer options?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marenp:
When you choose Koush SU you need to enable root in developer options. I dont have any problems with that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] firepol:
I was luckier, I did a clean install on Tuesday, 14 July in the evening, around 21:00 - timezone GMT+2 (Central Europe). Till Today, Friday 17 July, 14:00 I had just one unexpected reboot (with resurrection remix, I had at least 2 reboots a day and the rom was laggy).

The reboot happened when I tried to unlock the phone. The phone was not responsive, it was sort of struggling and it just rebooted.

I have another problem, some backups done with titanium backup, of apps installed on a different rom (resurrection remix 5.4.7): I can't restore nor the app, nor app+data.

Unluckily I can't find an app in the app store anymore: seems my device is filtered. But now I'm checking with the developers of that app.

Besides that I'm very happy so far, the rom is quite responsive/works fast and I won't touch it, nor install a new kernel. When something works: NEVER update it ;)

That said, the ArchiDroid installer doesn't seem to allow to install a particular version of a particular date. Or does anybody know how to do that? So e.g. if I recommend to try 14 July version how can ep2610 install that particular version?

Or it has to be done manually?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:
Do you have a problem with playing movies on youtube? (App)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kiryl:
Thank you guys.

Actually I had it already enabled, but only for applications. After changing it to Applications and ADB I got root working again. It seems to be working even after going back to Applications only.

However I still don't know how I can maintain or see a list of apps that already have root access granted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eldoggor:
I have it in Apps and ADB but Synapse says it has no root privileges. What can i do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
Using latest experimental, I have an app that refuses to show up in the Play Store. It says that the app isn't compatible with my device. It's kind of annoying because I need that app (my bank account management app), so I've had to revert to the previous version.

How could I fix this? I tried flashing Slim Gapps with multi DPI support. But it didn't change anything. I also tried switching back to stock DPI, but to no avail.

Any ideas? What else could be the cause?

In advance, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ste22032:
Look at this post of Archi, Google likes to cache stuff.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
Yes, I saw that.

I forgot to mention that I also full wiped the phone to make sure, but the app was still flagged as incompatible.

edit: after re-reading, I would need to wait a few days after a full wipe for things to get back in business? Even if it works straight away after having restored a previous backup?

If so, then I'll give it a try...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fre78:
same problem here. anyone knows a solution?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fbiangel:
no..no problems.

Any suggestions about Netflix btw.?

I have attached my logcat. Maybe it will show you what is happening.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tanogeek:
I only have one bug.

Wifi Tethering doesn't work.

It keeps rebooting when I switch it ON.

Edit : It works now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] igsoc21:
my solution regarding this, is to flash superSU.zip before flashing a new rom or before flashing nandroid
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Steinhund:
OK, installed latest build, clean flash, used SU by Kouch, no xposed as always, no custom DPI.

Installed all apps from Play Store and it seems that all apps I had before are working. That includes PayPal and G+. So far so good.

Only issue I still have that Netflix refuses to play videos. Connection is OK, synchronisation as well. When trying to play a video I receive the "Can't connect to Netflix services" message.

One issue resolved, one to go.

I only have to remember how to get rid of annoying # symbol. Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Works fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Egli.Kasa:
Archi congrats mate , not a single lag not even on facebook. The best rom till now ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NickName98:
All these people complaining and reporting bugs...

Archi, you're the only one I trust [emoji14]

Do you think your rom is stable enough for daily use based on your experience? With no FCs every a few seconds, random reboots etc? At least on the default settings..

I really miss this rom and all that complaining is pushing me away from flashing it again. I'm a big fan of your work :D

On a Greek tech forum that I'm a member of, I talk about you all the time [emoji14]

In case you can't / won't answer, is there anyone who has no problems using archidroid 3.1? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] igsoc21:
Do it dude! We're not complaining, we were just helping Archi to test his rom and look for unknown bugs hehehe

come join us, you won't regret it hehehe

I've got no problems with latest build (17th) dirty-flashed on top of 31.-version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] azazello22:
Is there a way to add Lockscreen Notifications on 3.0.2? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fbiangel:
Working as well. Since release still no problem. Nothing to report. Battery life extended app. 15-20% ( didnt do it accurately). On device is app 250 applications coming with me from older android versions and from other Roms. All are working. Catlog is clean.

PS : In the catlog was ( WAS) only issue connected with getjar sdk versus next launcher. All disappeared after 1st restart. ( Lets say settling process) Thats all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Steinhund:
I ran a couple of tests this morning and all features work well. The whole experience is extremely fluid.

When using Maps the first time the compass turn around a little weird and needed some time to calibrate. Now it works well. GPS lock is very fast, too.

The Netflix issue is still present, maybe there is is something wrong with DRM because playback via cromecast works.

What I think about is to switch back to SuperSU because I don't like the hash in the status bar. But this is just an optical issue and personal preference. I know there is a workaround using xposed but I want use it because I want to have the ROM as clean as possible.

Battery life over night was good, no unnecessary wakelocks. Now it's time to let it settle and use it.

All in all very nice work [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION].

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Steinhund:
Well done. BTW it is not always a bad idea to do what you did. I do this once in a while to clean up everything. Of course I do backups before :) :)

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Let me put it like this.

AD experimental is AD in "current state". There is "experimental" tag because sometimes I push builds blindly, I push some test builds which may not always work, sometimes I make silly derps causing whole ROM to become unflashable, this is how human's nature works.

But most of the time, experimental is JUST as I said, current AD state. And current AD state seems to be pretty stable most of the time, yes, still there is a chance for a crash, or uncaught issues (such as recently fixed GAPPS incompatibility thing), but this is how rolling branch works.

It's up to you to decide if you can live with that or not. Some people prefer only well tested releases that are physically flashed and tested by me, for these people, I have stable versions. For people that like to have cutting edge version of AD, which includes recent CM, recent optimizations, recent improvements, updates, and everything, including recent BUGS (if any), experimental is a way to go.

I offer some minimal experimental support related to fixing bugs (because in perfect scenario I'd like to fix all experimental bugs), but you should not expect any support regarding flashing, using, or fixing your experimental release. Experimental AD is maybe not for very skilled xda users, but for somebody who at least understands basics of Android, basics of bugs in Android, and basics of state of AOSP i9300, which is pretty fuc*ing bad.

If you keep that in mind while flashing experimental, you'll probably be satisfied with the outcome you get, but if you come here after flashing to say "it doesn't work", I'll simply tell you to flash stable :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NickName98:
thank you for the response! :D

I'll probably wait until AD becomes "stable"... well, at least in the name

BTW, im pretty sure most of the users of your roms are waiting for you to buy the next phone you choose :P i hope snap820 won't be a failure this time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sma5hley:
Is MMS not working for anybody else on latest experimental? I may need to keep checking other things.. But my APNs and settings have remained the same from past builds...

Scrub that, just downloaded on my other s3, swapped micro sd and flashing now..

Haha again I say haha, all good (who needs back ups lol)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Mr Backup, didn't you want to flash some official firmware through odin & then recovery with AD? At least it might benefit in any way as it's said to be healthy for phone to be preformed once upon a time. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IUnga:
I cannot install Google+ on latest exp build

Google+: This app is incompatible with your device.

WTF?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raylogic:
Oh yes I noticed that comment about the occasional back to out of the box settings. May do that when I'm completely bored and or unable to break the ROM

;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fbiangel:
Today some small problems : unable to receive and send call, but this problem disappeared after few redialing. Notification for emails, whatsapp and all the others stopped. Checked the setting and it was set to default ( autoreverse). All those are trivial. Next device went off itself. After turning it on all was again OK with clear catlog. Im attaching log. Those are really small problems but perhaps it will help in other development a little.

Just now is device like before, it means all is ok.

Problems with supersu seems to be solved with today's experimental. Thank you archi.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Flippiej:
So far I didn't get the "No sim card" message with todays build so that might be fixed for those of you who reported this problem with the last build.

Last build gave me sudden softreboots after a few minutes of having the phone on (also after half an hour once) after which the phone didn't see any sim card. Rebooting fixed it for a time, but after enabling logcat it refused to crash again on me :P

Anyway seems to be fixed now. Thanks Archi

Just Netflix wasn't working on this build but it was a already known issue.

I am happy with this rom and will try the stable version as soon as it will be out of the kitchen.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] wadken1:
Which recovery are you using?

I've not been been able to install the experimental version for some time now as Aroma keeps freezing / crashing (not always at the same point) - I'm wondering if my recovery (TWRP 2.8.5.0) is the problem.

I have also recently tried TWRP 2.8.6.1 and a 2.8.7.0 both of which, for me, have graphics issues which prevent me from activating the installation process or even browsing to different folders.
