If you need it so urgent, enable xposed framework, download HKTheme Manager module, install themes, apply them via HKTheme Manager, Reboot!!

No sound in calls, latest experimental, changing build.prop values to their pre-5945 state doesn't help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IUnga:
Same problem here. I flashed exp build now and don't have a sound... I want to flash stable 2.3.8 now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crack00r:
latest experimental from today, full wipe, no sound... No video playback
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mandrake80:
changing the build prop as suggested by andreasltcf worked for me guys...you can try. i am using the latest experimental, no issues
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crack00r:
Where to do it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Download "Build.Prop editor" via PlayStore.

Or edit /system/build.prop via any text editor.

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]: is there any way to have that See Through setting under Security persist between flashing? It's a bit annoying for me having to set it back to Disabled after each flash (not to mention being a potential security risk for some other users).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] manjumohangh:
Yes it is 2.1.... Infact first time after installation the battery was 72% (at first boot). and it was night, i slept. when i woke up it was 42%, and almost 8 hours elapsed. This issue is seen after second charge.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I'm having 0.1% in deep sleep on current 2.X-Experimental with everything turned off, only mobile network on without mobile data. I suggest trying BetterBatteryStats to see wakelocks during night. Rom doesn't cause any excessive overhead and/or wakelocks by default.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pdaaalex:
A couple of days with it and I love it. DPI is awesome, performance is really good (a couple of slowdowns on video playing, but those are minor), and battery life is awesome.

A couple of comments:

- I, personally, do not like Cool Tool. Can it be optional in AROMA? I've frozen it (Rom Toolbox), and it do not seem to cause any problem...

- I've tried changing boot animation, and I allways get an error (Rom Toolbox and some other boot animation changers)

- AdBlockers (LBE Security manager & ROM Toolbox) do not work... I don't know why, but they don't. I've tried to use AppSettings with Xposed and I haven't been able to get it running (will donwload latest XPosed framework and give it a try... If I get it to work I'll come back to you with more information)

And lastly, version 2.1 is as stable as a rock!!! When you said it was unstable I was a little afraid, but it works great!!! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Hey.

CoolTool in fact IS optional in aroma. It's turned on in default profiles because I find it very useful and nice but there's nothing wrong with clicking on custom preset and changing everything as you like. There's also nothing wrong with deleting/freezing it after a flash ;).

Same with bootanimation. If you want to get rid of my logcat lite bootanimation you need to untick such tweak on ArchiDroid Tweaks page. You can also do that through opening logcat lite app on your phone and selecting "remove" or "uninstall", can't remember now. But beware because I'm using specific hooks to turn it on by default and it should work (bring back normal animation) but if you'll in fact get no bootanimation at all then you need to reflash AD using ArchiDroid Update mode and untick things you don't want ;).

AD 2.1 is not unstable, but it's not stable enough either. AD 2.1.1 looks much better (current experimental). It'll still be RC probably but AD 2.1.2 should hit stable ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nabobalis:
Just wanted to say I am loving the Rom, flashing the experimental branch every day or two. Keep up the great work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Downloaded the v2.0.3 yesterday and im loving it.

Just a thing the google now doesnt work? I long press the Menu button and it does nothing.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Nice to see that actually somebody else also enjoys my experimental :D.

I've removed google now from gapps as I don't find it very useful. Probably I'll add such options to google apps aroma page but as for now you need to flash it through store.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] striked0wn:
+1 :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
OK thanks.

Last thing. On the gallery I cantora move pictures to other folders? Luke when i take a picture from a document i Sant to create a folder Doc and move all this pictures to it. When I select a picture it doesnt appear that option.Im new using AOSP ROM..sorry..

And have to say AD is one of the most complete ROMs vive dever used and ive used A LOT ROMS.

Thanks for the great work.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Did you try moving them through root explorer? Usually it's better idea to use file explorer than simple apps.

I've just pushed some nice improvements to my 2.X-Experimental branch. F.e. from version 2.1.1 ArchiDroid will automatically make local copy of your /efs and provide you with maximum of 2 backups "just in case".

Better safe than sorry ;). Backups will be located in /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/Backups. They have only a few kilobytes so that's not a big deal and I'm SURE that someday somebody will find it VERY useful :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Yeah ill have to do that way. Thanks.

Im just starting using your ROM and im very happy with it.

One thing though I just installed the AVG and it showed me that the Ac!d sound mod is a malware...is it normal?

Do you know the Viper4android sound mod?

Enviado de meu GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
AC!D is not malware (lawl) but I've decided to remove it anyway in 2.1.1 release. Having an antivirus on android is totally pointless because flashing apps through google store is pretty safe I'd say and android is based on linux, it doesn't need an antivirus to be fully functional and secure.. Also remember that ArchiDroid is open source. Well, maybe partially open source :D. I mean all changes, even smallest ones are stored in my commits on github so if I'd decide to implement a virus or other malware stuff then it won't come without notice.

Also no, I don't know viper4android.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seagerfreak:
I'm using 2.0.3 with stock kernel and i cannot record the screen. I tried different apps. Can you help me please? Other than that, awesomest rom ever.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Screencast worked last time I was using it back on 2.0.1 I guess. Other random free apps and trials from google store worked as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrecaron:
Its true about the antivirus i just installed to see.

Viper4android is a mod to sound better...i used it on the leak 4.2.2 and the sound was great but it had a lot of stutter on musics..dont know if it would happen on CM based rom. If you wanted to try and test I think is worthed.

Any chance of implemeting openpdroid?

cuz i really like pdroid so much better then xprivacy.

I tried implementing it via the autopatcher but unfortunately the process fails :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
There are a few guys who provide openpdroid for temasek's builds. ArchiDroid is fully compatible with temasek so you just need to search for matching build.

Go ahead and post your patching error directly to temasek's thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797109

Then I suggest syncing with my experimental branch -> https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid (always newest temasek's builds) and patch it, should be no problem.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Shidapu:
Then wouldn't a good idea be to integrate OpenPdroid to your aroma installer? :)

Would be easy if you base on Temasek. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BillG24:
Hello Archi,

it would be really great to integrate OpenPdroid to your aroma installer.

By the way Shidapu, you drived me grazy with your footer. Hitting this little critter was really hard :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] IUnga:
Archi, can you add backup function to adflash? My suggestion to rename old version of flashable archive. In case of problem with exp build (like today with sound) this feature may help to return to previous version fast. Yes, I now, I can to do backup in recovery, but...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Stop using forced update mode and ArchiDroid won't override your settings.

Also, if you think that showing one last blurry screen is a potential security risk, you should store your phone in the safe perhaps :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Noted.

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

I tried lot of kitkat roms ... (some one are plain, some are overloaded with unnecessary features ) and this one is just perfect imo!

Great job! I was long time on stock- 1.7 and now this is my daily.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] geopgeop:
To be fair, it wasn't quite obvious from the first posts of this thread that Forced Update Mode would override such settings. Perhaps note it in the 4th post of this thread, under RunOnce, rather than the vague wording that Force Update sets Install mode instead of Update mode.

I do like the feature (it reminds me of what I was doing at a glance before I locked my phone), but it"s something that would be better off Opt-In instead of Opt-Out for new and forced update installs. I have seen a few instances myself where the blurring doesn't work and the lockscreen is fully see-thru. Why risk that? But if you feel it's not a legitimate security issue, then you might as well move it out of the Security area in Settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] start3r:
Have to say, am loving 2.3.8. Was running it on f2fs with Devil kernel & recovery. BUT reverted back to Philz Recovery (easier for fatter fingers), EXT4 with ART as I wanted to use Boeffla kernel due to it having better sound quality, in my opinion when comparing Archi's eq settings against that in Devil kernel.

Thanks for all the hard work Archi. Looking forward to future development. Keep it up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I didn't implement this function by myself, neither put it in security settings. This was done by Omni, and ArchiDroid 2.X follows every Omni's commit, also this one.

I don't need to agree with every Omni's move, for me this setting could be in lockscreen options, not security but I'm not here to decide where it should be.

Also personally I didn't catch a situation when my screen wasn't blurry on the lockscreen, so perhaps you were running some outdated version or something. ArchiDroid will always come with my pre-tweaked settings after install, you don't need to agree with my settings, that's why I'm not forcing you to not touch them, instead, I give you an option to keep your settings as long as you don't full wipe, which by definition wipes your data :).

Forced update mode is made for "updates" to pre-tweaked settings (ADMANY & DBUPDATE RunOnce's components), for example recently I added an option to download MMS'es without mobile data turned on (in 1.X), this requires forced update mode, and that's the reason ArchiDroid asks you if you perhaps want to restore settings back to ArchiDroid defaults.

Notice that I physically could modify android settings pack to make some options on/off by default, but I didn't want to do so due to compatibility with 1.X, which uses closed Samsung base and doesn't offer a recompiling.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kayserxx:
I have two days with this rom and I must say I'm in love with this rom. very fast and smooth. but we need choise theme and many here agree with me. need theme choise of 10.2 cm uu else because the heated tel me a lot with the kernel boeffla? otherwise the sound of boeffla and elsewhere there is reset on each reboot (sorry for my bad english)

Guys.. quick question!

Do you know how I can change the long press delay of the Home button for access app switcher?

There is an option in Xposed Additions but it doesn't seem to make a difference!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Will you be adding any color changing options for status bar icons in the future JustArchi?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Answer to both questions is the same - Base is maintained by Omni and I prefer to not touch it too much.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
The above question & a new one:

while on while on archidroid 1.X, I was able to connect the phone to my car using the bluetooth. after moving to 2.3.8 version (after full wipe), bluetooth in the phone is working fine, just not recognizing the one in my car (it says to devices detected)! is this a known problem? is there a fix somehow?

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
i have no problems with the bluetooth connection in my car...

it even works better then sammy's stock rom.

Maybe you could try it a few times
[Galaxy S III Android Development] therealgiblet:
I had same issue, plus had issues with tethering and camera. Had to revert to stock based firmware.

Just check 'known issues' for more info... (good luck with that as filterable OmniROM known issues aren't available for S3 so its pretty much suck it and see).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xFixi:
Thanks! This also helped me fixing the no sound or video playback issue running the latest experimental :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Can anybody please verify that if the latest devil kernel is compatible with the newest experimental or not.

I see CM has made initramfs changes so I was wondering if Omnirom initramfs is also changed or not.

Thank you!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] adiel91:
Hey archi,

after last update Miscellaneous settings in boeffla config was reset all to off.

the default that was used was perfect for me, can you please tell me which switches should be turned on?

the ones i remembered are "speaker tuning" and "dac direct"

the other switches i don't remember what their status was, nor the "stereo expansion" option setting.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ncenter:
I have two problems with this ROM (with Boeffla Kernel)

1. How to lower the speaker's volume during the call? Even on the lowest position it is definitely too loud!

2. When sb is calling to me, the screen wakes up after about 3-4 seconds. It is unacceptable...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Why you won't load my preset from boeffla-data, it's already here.

1. Can't reproduce your issue, speaker's volume during call is pretty normal to me, change modem perhaps?

2. Also, it wakes up immediately. Turn off ZRAM, change kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ncenter:
Ok, so a few more questions...

1. Where could i find other modem?

2. Where could i turn off ZRAM? Could I flash some kernel from your ROM's extracted ZIP by recovery? Because I don't know where i can find some kernels suitable for your ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Man, did you even look at aroma? You have bunch of kernels proposed, you just need to reflash with update option in order to apply new kernel.

About modems - everywhere, read stickies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] start3r:
Ran into an issue on 2.3.8 whereby I get an annoying background hiss through headphones. Seems to be when screen is on. Is worse when using Boeffla kernel (real shame as Boeffla has the better Sound reproduction in my opinion) but I get it in Devil and GoogMax2 (all loaded via aroma & using Archi presets where available.

DAC Direct is on which is usually the fix for this issue in CM11 but issue remains. Do not have the issue when using ANY stock rom.

Have tried full wipe and reload from scratch each time diff kernel tried but still no joy.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KOLJACK:
Salute to You JustArchi,

ROM v2.3.8 is JustGreat in first touch... :)

Ultra fast, smooth, tons of options, just lack of words to describe Greatness of Your hard work.

Thanked You by Button

In this full bucket of honey i found some bitter issues...

1. Battery Drain :( (BBS log attached)

Kernel: Stock, pegasusq, cfq - no apk's running, just stand by...

(more than 30% drain in less than 12 hours, with no WiFi, no Mobile Data turned on, no BT, and 5-6 talks for less then 3 minutes...)

2. front speaker - sound during calls is very loud, sometimes sound becomes a bit noisy, +/- keys no affecting this issue

- I'm not a DEV, but I think it might be ROM deep setting to check...

3. happened once: when phone was plugged to charger...

after I've received incoming call, sound in speaker was one big noise

after ending call, no sound at all when calling...

restarting phone didn't help... What helped: reflashing ROM

Greetings from country mate in Warsaw ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Hey Archi,

Heads up!!!! I see a slight decrease in smoothness

Also antutu gives me a 22.9k while giving me a solid 23K on antutu on other ROMs

When comparing the both scores in details, I find that Archidroid gives a 5.3k in 3D graphics while other ROMs give a 5.6k and a 5.7k

I remember it was very smooth in the 2.3.7 STABLE release. When moving to the 2.3.8 STABLE it was a bit less smooth. Even on last experimental.

Rather than that the best ROM ever in terms of responsiveness, flexibility and stability (even on experimental builds)

So I hope you take my opinion in consideration to make this ROM better and better

Keep up the good work Archi

Hope you the best..

Thanks for such an amazing project.

Yours,

Mostafa wael

Same thing here...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Antutu is not a reliable benchmark. I can feel a lot of difference between 2.3.7 and 2.3.8 in terms of speed, and I'm pretty sure that it's not only me.

For example, recent --as-needed flag forces every binary to load "faster", and load required binaries "when they're required". So consider two scenarios:

Stock:

1. Binary loading [3 seconds] -> 2. Binary ready -> 3. Antutu starts counting -> 4. Rendering

ArchiDroid:

1. Binary loading [1 second] -> 2. Binary ready -> 3. Antutu starts counting -> 4. Binary loads required libs [1 second] -> 5. Rendering
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Maybe its just a placebo effect.

And I noticed how responsive archidroid is so that's why I am still on Archidroid... Hehehehe

Just keep it up!

Best ROM everrrr!!!!!

Oh I want to ask a question..

There is a kernel named "AGNI" which also supports f2fs filesystem which I want to try it out for a while. But it is not listed in the available kernels.

What should I do?????

Thx!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
It has been mentioned by JustArchi that the ADv2.x.x may have compatibility issues with blue tooth. It is due to Samsung not releasing proper drivers. 1.x.x will have better support in most cases. Not sure if there are any other solutions aside from switching back to 1.x.x. Good luck. You may want to read do a forum search on your particular blue tooth system to see if there's some solution out there, because the problem is not caused by the rom.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

I'm honestly not good at reading bbs logs. But i have a few suggestions:

1. Boeffla kernel is highly recommended for battery

2. try the Ultra power saver version

3. Rom sometimes takes a few days/cycles to settle

4. Use a battery calibration app.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] exafanizol:
i tried and it didnt work out still no wifi. Also changed the location of wifi's to europe still nothing. No problems with 1.7.4 version tho
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Can't help you then.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Interesting fact regarding latest optimizations.

As you may know, lately I'm having fun with optimization flags, which resulted in fastest ROM for SGS3 :p.

Android is being built for two targets - target ARM and target THUMB. Target ARM affects kernel and very low-level binary code, target THUMB affects about ~90% android.

In default configuration, target ARM has flag O2 (optimize for speed), while target THUMB has flag Os (optimize for size).

I changed O2 flag for ARM to O3 (optimize for speed yet more), and added bunch of other flags (-f*) to both targets (ARM and THUMB)

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/issues/102

However the most important flag is -O* flag, and the question is why Google decided to compile bigger part of android with optimization for size instead of optimization for speed. IMHO because of memory usage, especially in older devices, as these flags weren't touched for a while.

Based on my "mysterious builds" community test, everybody pointed a finger on O3 build regarding higher performance -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2638691

In addition to above, I compiled a simple C++ benchmark to see if it's true.

http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/whetstone.c

Yes it is. As you can see O3 > O2 >> Os, Os performs about 2.5x times worse than O2, and about 3.0x times worse than O3.

I think that putting O2 or O3 for target thumb may increase performance even more. I'll definitely consider this option in one of the upcoming experimentals :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Groot:
Okay [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], i commend you for having a blazing fast rom as what the users' feedback says. First of all, I am a low-end device user and have no ideas on flashing files on devices like s3.

My girlfriend is now angry because the stock 4.1.2 software of her s3 gives her lags and ugly stuffs from touchwiz...

I have few queries and I hope you dont take it badly.

1. Having rooted and installed the recovery needed on s3, can i just flash your rom? I meam upgrade from stock 4.1.2 directly to your 4.4 based rom? Thanks

Sent from my E151
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Check version of your 4.1.2.

If it's XXEMG4 or newer:

1. Optional: Flash latest Android 4.3 from Sammy (XXUGMK6 or newer) through Odin

2. Flash latest PhilZ Touch Recovery

3. Flash ArchiDroid

If it's lower than XXEMG4, point 1 is absolutely required and in addition to that BEFORE YOU START make a backup of /efs.

Rest is in stickies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 666pluto:
phone's bluetooth connection is now working in my car :).

nearly gave up, since in the S3's BT device list nothing appeared, so what i did was getting into the car's bluetooth settings and manually search & pair the S3 (or any other bluetooth phone, doesn't matter). searching for the S3 via the car's settings was only needed once & from now on the S3 manage to find & connect to the car by itself.

the car is Chevrolet spark 2014 (LT) if it matters to anyone.

so thank you for your comments :)

just 2 more questions:

how do i change the camera's storage to external card? can't find it in the settings

I get an error while trying to use Medscape application about it being blocked by an add blocker. how do i add Medscape to exception list or turn the ad-blocker off?
