Screen off after an incoming/outgoing call

I am in the 2.3.5, with default kernel and governor. After a call, incoming or outcoming, the screen stays off, so I am not able to end the call, even if I push the power button. After 2-3 minutes, sometimes the screen is again ready to work, sometimes I have to pull out the battery and reboot.

If the screen comes back on, several times I read "com.android, sistemUi stopped" or something like that, or dialer stopped: I just tried another dialer but, just now, I got another force close for this dialer. What can I do?

Hi Archi, hope you can help me with that ^

help!!

I was playing with the developer settings n my phone crashed. I was trying the mirroring option. My phones volume up button doesnt work. So now I am unable to put my phone in the recovery mode. And it is stuck at Archidroid logcat boot. So isthere any other way to off the mirroring which prevents the phone from starting up. Or is it possible to put the phone in recover mode. HELP :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yasounet:
Turn off the phone, and start it up again while holding BOTH volume up and volume down buttons to enter Safe Mode. Once the phone boots, go to developer options, turn of mirroring and reboot again.

edit: oh didnt quite read the part bout your volume up key not working, gonna try to find another solution for you.

edit1: assuming you ve got USB debugging enabled, connect the phone to your PC, boot it up, and just use "adb reboot recovery" in command line (you ll need android platform tools for that).

edit2: even easier solution that wont require reflashing rom/restoring backup -

1) connect to android shell ( via PC )

2) copy this command to terminal - "sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db"

3) and now copy this command - "delete from global where name="overlay_display_devices";"

4) reboot
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jtndinesh:
hey thanks for trying to help.. I was able to put my phone in download mode. I tried adb recovery but it says my no device is connected. Any solution with the download mode?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yasounet:
Well, you could obviously flash official samsung rom while in download mode, but i guess thats not the solution you are looking for.

Regarding no device being connected, you probably do not have android adb drivers installed. To solve that, you ll need android sdk that you can download here - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. After downloading whole pack, unzip it and launch SDK Manager. Now you ll see list of packages, look for extras => google usb driver and download it. Once you have the driver, you have to plug your phone while its in normal mode (hang at logcat boot animation). Now open device manager, look for "other devices", right click on "Android" and pick "Update Driver". As a driver pick the google usb driver you ve downloaded earlier (android_winusb.inf file in /SDK/extras/google/usb_driver). Now just perform commands i wrote in my edit2 of previous post ( adb shell to open the terminal ).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b9AcE:
I have been using this ROM now for a couple of days (coming from "Android Revolution HD") and the only thing I really miss is a more competent camera.

Is there any way to get the Samsung camera on this ROM or is there any third party (free) camera app of similar levels of capability/complexity (I don't want something so complex it becomes an obstacle to use either)?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Did you use back button in aroma?

Don't use it, it's evil.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Valdorous:
Lock Screen notifications.

Is there any way of getting my hands on lock screen notifications with your ROM? I've found most roms that do have it lack the stability of yours...

Do you think you'd be able to implement it? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drizztSA:
No. I didn't use back button. I just hit the next button. Whatever was default. I already have 2.3.6 installed and just upgrading. Going off Ext.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Perhaps you ticked previous preset and it didn't load properly.

Already on Omni's gerrit.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bristolian:
Is there a way to change the colour scheme in messages. the black text on dark text bubble is very difficult for me to see.

thanks for any suggestions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Don't use TRDS then. It's WIP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
A gentle reminder about JustArchi's Mysterious Builds :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Valdorous:
I don't know exactly what that means, but it means its up for consideration?

Thanks though!

Really love your ROM.

Although whenever I use adflash to try and update I get errors when it compiles the zip. At least with "git" with "direct" the zip compiles... But the installation falls in aroma. Something about "something.nowipe"?

Great ROM though, probably my fault for it somehow as nobody else has complained :P.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jsq:
Hi, nice rom, Great work.

I have one question:

Colors are weathered.

Is there an option to change color profiles?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b9AcE:
I think my question was missed, so I will try asking again.

My sincere apologies if I was incorrect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
There's no way for Samung camera. However there are other camera apps, which you may want to try, f.e. Focal or even ported nexus camera.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jsq:
Ok, Thanks. I found it.

I have another question.

Your rom contains nice widget called

Month Calendar Widget

Is there an option to change first day in week?

For me this day is monday... default is sunday.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mhb92:
archi.. is it right i cant use adlinux with extsd feature?

Access test passed, we're ready to go!

You selected extsd, but I failed to use it so I'm aborting here

It lacks symlink functionality, you need to reformat your external sd card to native linux filesystem (f.e. ext4) if you want to use debian on your extsd

this is what i get..though my sdcard1 is ext4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
This feature is bugged atm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mhb92:
archi something is going on when choosing to flash philz rec. doesnt boot on recovery after reboot :P

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ristokoo:
I noticed that USB audio doesn't work. When I plug in my DAC, sound plays through the phone speaker. It works with Samsung ROM (tested with Archidroid 1.7.9). Is there a way to fix it, or does it need something Samsung specific?

I used Boeffla kernel in both cases.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shaarky:
USB audio seems not to be working on CM11 / Omnirom already since CM10.2

Just see http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+audio+dock+cyanogenmod+i9300 ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Already reported this issue to Phil.

The problem is with the recovery, not the way of flashing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] teppe498:
Is boeffla kernel causing spontaneous reboots? I switched from boeffla to stock and since then no more reboots.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janine13:
I have had these random reboots a couple of time too. Initially I did a dirty flash and had reboots like more than twice a day. Did a clean install and have had like 2 reboots in the last 5 days

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
So, my finals are finally over, passed :p. I have nearly two weeks for catching up with everything now, so expect some more activity on my github now :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
So it must have been the kernel, eh? :)

Yes, I built this specifically in: Hot-reboot timer, that is how the feature is called. To make sure, your system is always in a fresh state.

Haha.

No, jokes aside: Not that I would know. But always good to move to latest kernel version - i.e. I released one today. And also always good to use a standard default configuration for 1-2 days to see if it is due to some specific settings.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Never blame Andi for anything ;).

I'll look into this issue. My boeffla presets also need some updates.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bj4ever:
hey [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], i've just found another fantastic thing made possible by you! with your pocket debian I can flash my xperia z ultra from my s3 using fastboot!!!!! real power in your hands!!!! thank you very much!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Of course you can, pocket debian has nearly all features as "real" debian, the only limitation is a kernel and chrooted environment :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bj4ever:
That's almost all right, it seems that the only limitation is immagination!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, that should also not be taken as a fact. Kernel can be as guilty as rom or apps. You never know.

Let's be open minded :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I never had any problems with your awesome piece of work, so I refuse to accept any boeffla-based issues :D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Hey guys. Im using stock sammy now since a few months.

Is this rom good for daily base ?

And is the battery life just as good (or better ) then stock ?

I know its about how u use the phone but you know what i mean :p

I even saw this rom in the news so im very curious about it it seems promising.

And i tolld myself to keep using stock haha i doubt i will
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Yes, this rom is good enough for daily use.

Stability is good, almost no sudden reboots or bugs (except somewhat bugged Omni alarm clock), battery life is a lot better than stock with undisabled bloatware, and is on par with modded stock. Speed is a lot better - i never saw a stock rom that was comparable to ArchiDroid 2 in speed&smoothness department.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Thanks for the info !

It sounds good haha i think i am going to root my phone again and install this rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
When you like to get full performance try DevilKernel with F2FS FileSystem!

Devil Thread ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
thanks il take a look at that !

on a normal day i play dungeon hunter 4 for like half an hour, so im looking for performance but battery friendly to
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Mate, root is totally unnecessary thing when it comes to flash custom rom first time. All you need is custom recovery, not root. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
this rom is awesome !

i forgot how good it was to be on a custom rom haha

thanks archi!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mystras:
Hi Archie, thanks a lot for you efforts.

I shifted to 2.3.5 and it seems that I have bad luck and also got the issues with calls (incoming and outgoing). I am not able to end the call, screen goes black and no buttions are working. Battery needs to be taken out...

Does anyone have advise?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b9AcE:
So, I installed 2.3.5 with Boeffla-Kernel, as it was the recommended default and it's very nice, but it's missing both loop.ko and tun.ko.

I managed to use the "OpenVPN Installer" from Sascha Volkenandt to get tun.ko.

The loop.ko however, I can not find a third party solution for.

Anyone know which kernel(s) that are included in ArchiDroid also include both of these?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
The question is do you really need them, as for example this OpenVPN app works out of box with any kernel - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn&hl=pl

Try other modem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
i was running on stock rom, with a unrooted device... it needs to be rooted before i can install a custom recovery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b9AcE:
The tun.ko issue I found the workaround for that I mentioned before, but not loop.ko.

I/we need loopback devices to use for example the "Linux on Android"-app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid) or as far as I understand it the Kali Linux image (although Kali isn't confirmed, as that's what I was trying to do when I noticed lack of loop.ko, but it does come in .img-format so seems like it).

The chroot debian is

great

, but I also want the possibility of running Kali, ArchLinux and possibly more.

I tried building Kali myself inside the integrated chroot debian environment according to their instructions (http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-arm-chroot), but as debootstrap dies when it notices the filesystem is mounted with nodev, it seems to be at least requiring a lot of modification to the system and/or script(s) to work building inside that chroot.

Therefore adding loopback device support seems like a small addition that could provide a lot of value to anyone like me that is trying to look at other Linux-versions on this ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Nope. Sorry to destroy your whole previous android knowledge but again.. NO, root is unnecessary to flash custom recovery and then flash custom rom. ;) I don't know from what source you had taken such info, but it's false for sure.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Get into ArchiDroid's pocket debian, it must be fully mounted ("default" adlinux mode).

apt-get update
apt-get install debootstrap
cd /data/media/0
mkdir kali
debootstrap --arch armhf kali kali http://archive.kali.org/kali

If armhf isn't supported by kali, use armel instead.

I successfully bootstrapped debian with my debian, so I suppose that kali will work as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
okay really ?

i honistly diddnt know that !

here in holland there is an android forum, i learned some stuff there.

but the more i came here the more i saw that those people on the forum don't know anything about it.

learned something more today !

So... what is the purpose of rooting a phone then... ?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

something else..

i asked a question in the q/a forum but i dont get a reply on that.

where can i choose that my camera puts the photo's to my external sd card ?

i couldnt find that in the camera app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Rooting affects the rom, recovery is indepdendent of rom you're currently using, it can even work without any rom being installed, what you often do by formatting /system partition.

Therefore, root is required only for performing root actions from booted ROM, it's NOT required for using Odin and flashing custom recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
It's necessary only in case you don't want to flash custom rom, but only use stock samsung firmware with root access. ;) Some poeple needs such feature, but for me much easier way is to flash any of custom roms as not only have they already came prerooted but also, as in case AD, they're totally debloated. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
aaahh so its like that eh.

thanks malachow and archi ! i really did not know it was possible to flash a custom rom or recovery without having root acces ! :)

so now i am using your great rom and learned something to !

Great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b9AcE:
Nope.

Essentially the same as in the link I posted, except changed location, but I tried with the new location as well:

root@i9300:/ # apt-get update

root@i9300:/data/media/0 # debootstrap --arch armhf kali kali http://archive.kali.org/kali
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1286: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /data/media/0/kali/test-dev-null: Permission denied

root@i9300:/data/media/0 #

As you can see in the output of the extra "mount" command, a whole bunch of stuff is actually mounted both nodev and nosuid.

The nosuid by the way, breaks "sudo" and probably a lot of other things.

Clearly nodev is checked for by debootstrap, so either I/we would have to comment it out of the script (messy workaround), change how it is mounted (I don't even know where mount-options are set on Android, as it's apparently not fstab) or use loopback-device mounting instead (I/we can't since there is no loop.ko at least in Boeffla-Kernel on this ROM).

I don't know if this is different from your phone, but if so I don't know why, as I certainly haven't intentionally requested any changes in the mount-options.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
In AD 1.X, there's no nodev in /data.

You can remount /data with no nodev if needed.

Hoi hoi,

installed yesterday archidroid on the S3 of my gf (used it when I had myself a S3, know its the best and fastest rom ;) )... Only problem right now is the missing WiFi toggle. My gf says she saw it today but I cant figure out how to restore. If I switch to edit mode I can't find the toggle either (I can move all toggles, make visible and disappear them, but no hint on wifi, only tethering)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
I once told myself I would stay stock too. Then I started playing around with Roms a bit. Tried a few, then found this. And the rest is history. It is a masterpiece. I suggest you give it a try, just do ample research and read up. Archidroid 2.x is awesome and very stable, but if you want something closer to stock you can try archidroid 1.x. Good luck and don't underestimate the importance of research before you flash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
thanks mate, thats exactly what i did !

i tried lots of roms before (cyanogenmod, sentinelrom, ultimarom even miui roms) but then i went back to stock for a few month becouse i hated the fact that my roms keep crashing on moments i couldnt use it.

this rom is IT !

its has everything and its great !

Hey archi,

i just want to say firstly, thank you for an awesome ROM and for supporting Dominik's f2fs project.

i do not have any bugs to complain on, but when i type in terminal emulator:

su

adflash 2e direct

it gives me an error "tmp-ksh:adflash: not found!"

i am on 2.3.5 STABLE with devil3 kernel with f2fs and ART

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Also i want to use dualboot in devil

i want to dualboot archidroid 2.3.5 (1st ROM) with archidroid 1.7.9 (2nd ROM)

Can i flash archidroid 1.7.9 directly as 2nd ROM, or should i use the nandroid method?

i heard that there is difficulties with ROMs having Aroma installer being flashed as 2nd ROM directly, so is it safe to flash Archidroid 1.7.9 as 2nd ROM directly?

thanks a lot!

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benschhold:
Try su, adlinux default, adflash 2e
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pris0n:
Hi,

I am new to flashing SG3 Roms. Coming from old HTC Desire.

After downloading this file, what is needed to be done? Full wipe, clear cache, dalvik cache etc and then flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You can try installing without nandroid method. But I'm not an expert in dualboot thing.

Also, it's strange that you're using "ksh" shell, you should use mksh or sh. Adflash is located in /system/bin and it uses /system/bin/sh shell to work properly. If you can't use standalone command then your kernel is providing you with a broken ksh shell (as ArchiDroid definitely doesn't have this), and you may try to execute manually /system/bin/sh /system/bin/adflash.

Apart of having latest up-to-date recovery (CWM 6.0.4.4 or higher), nothing in general. ArchiDroid does required things anyway.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pris0n:
Alright. I did a backup of my efs file and now after the installation my IMEI is broken. Can I just copy the backup to the system?

€: IMEI restored, Network missing

Is it possible to change the dpi after installation?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay, can you tell me steps to do?

i did not understand what should i do exactly..... also how do i execute a script manually?

i will temporarily flash the stock ROM base of archidroid 1.7.9 as it does not have an Aroma installer :D until i ask dominik to be sure if i can flash archidroid 1.7.9 safely to 2nd ROM....

thx for support!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benschhold:
Give the files in the efs folder read/write permission, dpi can be changed in the system/build.prob file
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pris0n:
I gave them read/write permissin with root explorer. But still no network. Any other solutions? EFSPro does not connect to phone.
