nevermind..i already tried downloading latest 050515 experimental using git mode and its success, but it seems its like the same with direct mode with almost 600mb++ data downloaded and in the end Archidroid.zip were provided after the download.. the only problem is, on 0205 experimental build the file size was around 700mb, and now using git mode I got a 607mb archidroid.zip, size differs much, maybe archi already shrink down debian size.. and one more thing that made me wonder, 3.75gb space were taken by archidroid folder on internal storage.. its too much -_-

I'm trying to use AD Pocket Debian.

I tried installing and mounting it via AD app but tapping on Launch Shell it opens up the terminal emulator that gives me an error while trying to launch

X --shell /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/debian

:

ERROR: ArchiDroid's Linux has not been mounted yet in /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/debian!

What can I do?

Thanks :)

Does anyone know if there is an option to have flipped selfies ,as in stock camera we have that option. I am using google camera.

Oh and can i disable touchboost for better battery as i am using nova launcher prime :3 ?

synapse
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Egli.Kasa:
It was a question i know that it can be disabled on synapse but will it affect smoothness?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sperelli:
touchboost in any case would affect smoothness as for my experience.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Boot into recovery, delete /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/debian folder completely, reboot to AD, and try again.

If you had older debian (from 3.0.2 times), it has to be removed firstly.

As said in the FAQ, git mode is for experienced users who want to sacrifice internal memory size for delta updates.

You have three big elements on your int sd now:

1. ArchiDroid's Pocket Debian, taking around 300 MB.

2. ArchiDroid's Git repo, taking around 2,5 GB.

3. ArchiDroid's output zip, taking as you noticed around 600 MB.

Size of the output zip differs because direct mode uses pure java Android solution to download the zip and repack it, while git mode uses better tools provided by AD pocket debian (7-zip), which does the thing faster (multi threading), and better (better compression algorithm).

The only advantage of the git mode is the fact, that if you use git mode (again) for the next update, AD app will only download delta of the repo changes made to that point, and not the whole repo. So it's faster updates, for the cost of repo located on your int sd. The final choice is upon you. I always suggest using direct mode, unless you flash experimentals very often (once per 2-3 days) and you don't want to download 700 MB whole the time, even if it costs you int sd size.

Hi guys!!!just a question.Have you noticed problems with Tapatalk(missed notifications)?THX in advance!!!;)

EDIT: the today's experimental is even smoother and snappier again :D

EDIT: BT Car pairing works great using the trick Archi described later in this thread - to use synapse and set min cores to 2. THANKS!

I'm sorry I didn't use experimental versions for quite a long. Is it enough to download ArchiDroid-i9300-cm-experimental.zip and just install or a should remove some folders?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eldoggor:
I downloaded the whole zip and just installed it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
now i know, so its better to choose git mode for experimentaliholic like us and also your AD rom made me feel like PRO ABIT when using debian/linux in a 'smartphone'..haha.. and who the F cares about the internal memory storage, its better to fully use it then let it wasted, got a 32gb sdcard anyway.. :D thank you for the explanation master [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION].. your the best ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Basically, most of the AOSP ROMs flash just the system block, and the kernel block. It's easy to create OTA for them, as you only need to make a diff of all the files from point 1 and point2.

Now the AD situation complicates. "Experimental" is an abstract term - it doesn't exist. By downloading "experimental" you literally download actual state of ArchiDroid, not any fixed release. Moreover, situation complicates even further because AD is not a simple ROM, but rather a monster created from many little segments, and to truly update AD you need to run AROMA installer, because AD installer handles many different parts of the ROM, for example ArchiKernel kernel on "installing" pulls your currently installed kernel, splits it into the zImage and the ramdisk, modifies the ramdisk, combines zImage and the modified ramdisk, and flashes new kernel onto the block. You see, the final output of the kernel "varies", because AK adapts to ANY situation that may happen, so it's impossible to create a simple diff of kernel1, and kernel2, then apply the changes. That's one of the reasons why AK is universal and works across all ROMs and not only specific supported ones - because it adapts to the environment you provide, not the predefined environment selected by the developer.

So how does git mode work? It's easy, it clones the experimental repo in current state (let's say A), then creates a zip from it. Now the next time you wish to "update" experimental, git communicates with the server, notifies it that there's state A available, and we want to fetch all changes made from A, till current state (called HEAD). Git responses with all the changes, then we merge them in, change state from A to B (which points to current HEAD for now), and create zip from the whole repo again.

This way, you literally download the changes to the files (ONLY), and moreover - in compressed form, but you're not making any "OTA update" zip, you just apply the changes, and make ZIP from the whole repo again. You literally store on the phone whole repo and all single files that are used to create a ZIP, and you apply changes to them, not to the zip or any previous fixed update.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
so from my points of understanding, basically update on Git Mode that depends on AD's debian is like a github desktop on a phone, which copy all the repo from your git and only download delta upgrade when there are new commits. Is this this correct? :cool: AWESOME!!

you should exposed this little monster to other AD users and make use of it, we dont even know this beast was exist inside the rom since after a long time using AD.. and I should start to learn linux from now on.. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Exactly. Updating repo covers only downloading changes from your current state to the HEAD.

No it doesn't create any problems at all, you can do if your job is worth the compromise (of security)

No it doesn't. We had to do that a while ago to make adblock work (not anymore) and had 0 problems.

But I wouldn't use xposed on lollipop. It is just not stable. I think it also makes the phone optimise apps on every startup, which can be annoying (or is this fixed already?)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
Check the cm12.1 thread, the last 2 or 3 pages. In particular FadeFX's posts. It appears that it needs to have at least 2 cores online, while usually in idle, it goes to 1 core. FadeFX made a tasker profile and an init.d script that should work.

Not quite sure how it works though

[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
Not really much you can do about that. If you use the tasked profile, you can make sure to enable it only when you need it.

Bluetooth on aosp will remain a nightmare (as is camera). Even on nexus devices, it sometimes causes trouble.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
I heard it causes problems on stock 4.3 for s3 too. Even after doing some major tweaking of governor values, it causes distortions and issues every now and then.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You don't need any tasker profile, AK gives you synapse, and there you can configure pegasusq min cpu lock to 2.

Is it just me or downloading from github is really slow. I have a 10mbps connection but the highest speed i get is around 80kbps. and the download never finishes. at somepoint it gives an error and i have to re-start from the beginning.

Then I changed the rom. And reinstalled from this backup and my photos were gone. Whatsapp pictures too. The other whole system is working. What is the problem. I had backed up whole system.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yasounet:
Photos and whatsapp pictures are stored in user storage. This part of memory is not placed in a TWRP backup as its not wiped during a new rom installation. I'd guess you have some problems with either filles permissions, or just straight up path to those files.

My candycam pictures gone. I did full wipe. So did it right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yasounet:
As i havent used this app i cannot say for sure, but i'd assume it holds pictures in user storage, not /data/data folder - wiping shouldnt delete them.

GIT mode: will copy the git repository with the files used to create the zip for download mode. The first time it will download between 2 and 3gb of files to internal storage. From second time, only newer files will be download. Then it will create the zip.

As suggested I changed pegasususq minimum CPU lock to 2 cores in Synapse so that Bluetooth functions when screen is off. Working perfect now!

A secondary side effect for me is that battery is lasting nearly twice as long and deep sleep occurs faster and for longer.. Which is excellent!

Has anybody else experienced this? Is pegasususq perhaps scaling down to aggressively after screen off leading to processes running longer than they need to before sleep is allowed?

Thanks for the great ROM!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] szotaa:
You also have to keep in mind that our device is quite outdated now and upcoming android versions and apps will work worse and worse. In my opinion kitkat was the most optimised and low-performance-devices-friendly android so far. That why im keen on seeing the most perfect kitkat rom which would give me and opportunity to survive another year with my s3. HWC would be really helpful in that because kitkat multitasking, ram magnement and lack of bugs with hwc smoothnes that we expirience in lolipop roms would really make me feel like we had full exynos open source and aosp would be finally working as it should.

I get the same behaviour like once a day, one of that times i also lost app data (also on latest).

What's more impacting for me though, is that i loose connection to my wifi whenever the screen is off for too long. When i wake the phone, i see an exclamation mark in the mobile data and wifi symbols, and it takes 5 seconds to reconnect. Obviously this leads to not getting any notifications from whatsapp/messenger/mail etc (this does not happen when i am on mobile data exclusively)

I tried all wifi settings there are, and also disabled ProxyDNS/Adblock alltogether without success. Also tried other wifis, but the problem is consistent. Last Experimental (or the one before that) everything was fine with wifi.

Maybe someone got a hint for me?
