I am running archidroid for about two months now (since v2.4.1 i think). I've tested many other roms before but not even one did fulfill my claims.

So.. Then I found Archidroid. All I can say is, that it is exact the rom, I was searching for.

Everything is clean and smooth. Battery drain is so less, that I can use my device heavy for two days without charging - without any performanceloss !

But with 2.4.3 I expected an error. Sometimes my screen turns black for 10 seconds, goes on again and then it goes directly into the lockscreen. After unlocking all apps are closed :( maybe its my fault. I will flash 2.4.4 today and I hope to get it fixed.

But Thanks for this awesome rom! <3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
I'd say so. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] higstar:
Incorrect double negative, or wrong version?

2.4.4 does not have the cherry picked features (which caused soft boots for some)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] onkel_joerg:
Just updated to 2.4.4

Now missing DESIGNS in the settings
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Improved stability has own price.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Garreth88:
No more sound calibration in the dialer app? It was interesting option in 2.4.3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Sry mate for my english, what I meant was - 2.4.4 comes without these cherry picks ofc. :) To increase stability.

great job buddy!

How do I disable app notifications moto x?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
https://github.com/thelegorom/android_build/blob/lego/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk#L38

Even if he's using 4.10, he uses SaberMod and not Linaro (I'm not a fan of SB to be honest, I'm getting better performance and stability with Linaro snapshot), also he didn't change TARGET_GCC_VERSION, which means that it's a mix of older GCC defined and hacked path, not even close to what I'm giving right now with 2.4.4 :p.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You should ask Omni for that. Jira is a good place.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BrhoomHD:
does soft reboot and system ui restart issue fixed in 2.4.4?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You're a perfect reason why I should stop writing changelogs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mhb92:
Archi how is it going with your kernel ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ddulic:
The soft reboot seems to be fixed in this new version of the ROM, which just made it perfect. Thanks for the update and all the hard work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bornlivedie:
Camera zoom fx was the culprit. If i install it, camera stops working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Nothing new is happening. I'm slowly backporting some nice commits to my kernel, and I'm compiling it with Linaro 4.10 now :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kroata:
i dont have soft reboots on 2.4.3. everything works like a charm
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gurningchimp:
I did have soft reboots on 2.4.3, so many that it made the phone unreliable & I restored 2.4.2 (but only after many clean installs trying to fix).

Only been running 2.4.4 for 5 or 6 hours (so early days) but does seem to ok - no reboots or lock ups.

Hope that's of help to people who were experiencing issues with 2.4.3 in making a decision on whether to update.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mhb92:
can someone give me a link to download previous modem ?? no rils.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] realism:
Just a simple question...

I recently flashed ArchiDroid 2.4.3. and went through the nice aroma installer, pretty smooth and easy.

But now I see there is an update, as i dont wont to brick anything, i wanted to make sure.

For updating, without wiping user data (if possible) do I need to go into custom recovery and flash it?

Or do I use the update app?

And for some reason the update app doesnt want to download the update, any ideas why?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yeti47:
Download Perkas File Stash from play store. That will give you the modems in different formats. It's stored under 4.3. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
You have to flash it through recovery, no other way.

Update me app only notifies about new version, nothing more.

The Mother of Stability has come! Wohoo! :victory:

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] now I'm fully convinced in aspect of removing not-officially-merged-yet features. It seems that it's always a metter of time when something will start to FC/reboot.

Yeah, totally good move.

P.S. Don't you even dare guys complaining about the lack of fireworks. Stability, stability & once more ArchiDroid. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevcal:
This worked in 243,holding the 'home' button in 244 no longer lists running apps..

Is this expected? Tried enabling custom button actions in settings.. No luck.

Apart from that this seems to most stable build.. .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
Everything's working fine here as in previous versions. You seem to have some other problem. Have you tried to restart your phone?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevcal:
Yes, with custom buttons enabled and disabled (which should it be?)..

Maybe I'll clear caches and see if that helps..?

Then a reinstall..

Thanks as very useful to know it should work ;)

Edit:

Setting long press in custom buttons setting to voice search works.. It's just talk list / switching which isn't working by the looks of it.

Edit 2:

No luck after clearing caches, just seems task switcher not runnable..

Is there another way of it..?

Edit3:

Mmm.. Just installed shortcut to task manager.. "cannot be found on your device"..!

Reinstall required I guess!

EDIT 4:

a reinstall hadn't fixed it :( same problem.

It definitely works on other people's..?

Edit 5:

Back to 243 and working again...!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KOLJACK:
Messaging FC - is BAAACK :)

Hello JustArchi,

Well, uhmmm I don't know how to say it:

After totaly full wipe - messaging FC... is back.

...is it still Omni issue ?

No other issues found for now.

Greets to All of You Mates

Brothers in testing... :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Archi,

Which is better in your opinion?

Using a 4.10 kernel on ext4?

Or using a 4.9.1 kernel on f2fs?

If using a 4.10 kernel is better, can you please tell me a way to reformat all partitions back to ext4 safely?

Thanks archi!

And keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Messages fix has been reverted in the last update 2.4.4 as it's not officially merged.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
As above, it works fine. Make a full wipe and don't restore any apps. Clearing ArchiDroid folder may help as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sayaksark:
Archi...u have reverted theme engine. Does that mean there is no theme option in settings in the latest version? If yes, then I'm not going to update because i love to change theme, and i don't want to merge by myself.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kevcal:
Ah.. Okay thanks for the sdvice; will give this a miss then, can't face doing a full install of apps :(

Never mind I'll stick with 243 which is stable enough, I can live with the odd random reboot.

Is there any way of turning off the updates message..? ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Freeze/Delete UpdateME apk.

As I'm always repeating - it's up to you if you want to update or not, just don't report issues when you're not on latest version, that's all.

Yeah of course, I wouldn't expect support on old versions.

Sure I'll upgrade soon in future when I can afford the time to wipe everything.

Thanks for developing this!

Oh thanks, and what i deleted? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FosCoJ:
Just get es Explorer and analyze SD card. For me with SD card defect, always save pictures, titanium backup apps, and then follow archis advice to delete everything :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Obsolete old files from Android 4.1-, eventually some old-format clockworkmod backups.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] teddybear3k:
OK, OK, I've read the FAQ :

Q: Whoa! What happened to colors in ArchiDroid, why they're "blacked out", "dimmed"? I want my stock colors back!

A: ArchiDroid in default configuration applies custom MDNIE settings, which change displayed colors. Samsung (and AOSP) uses over-satured, plastic, vivid colors, while ArchiDroid uses balanced and natural colors for our super amoled. It's up to you if you like it or not but if you decide to flash ArchiDroid it will come with natural balanced colors. You can change them very easily in Display Options (ArchiDroid 1.X) or in Advanced Settings (ArchiDroid 2.X).

With boeffla kernel it's possible to activate the color but with Agni kernel, i've not found.

You write "You can change them very easily in Display Options in Advanced Settings", it also, I have not found.

It's possoble to give me a printscreen or the full way?

Thx for your work.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Just enter settings, find advanced settings somewhere in the middle and change display settings. It's not kernel-specific.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If you keep your photos in /data/media and not /data/media/0 then you have serious problem because it's obsolete and unused since Android 4.2+. You should have photos in /data/media/0/DCIM or /data/media/0/Pictures.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pantherx12:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Actually, pretty well. After I finish having fun with a bunch of new flags - https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/issues/130 (2 are implemented already) I'll focus on hardswap.

However, I have pretty busy weeks lately, you know this time when you have easy 2-3 months in the college and suddenly everything pops in two weeks, alright? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Redscorpian:
Nice...

Nice ROM, stable and good battery stats but how do you turn off the navigation bar?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
You shouldn't enable it in the first place if you didn't like it. This option is not enabled by default. Check build.prop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Redscorpian:
Maybe I wanted to try it. It didn't come with a warning that if I don't like it I can't remove it. Check build.prop? And once I've checked what am I looking for and what do I do with it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If you don't know what you're looking for, that's fine. Read your build.prop and you'll know.

Hey, mate.. Chill out. ;) I bet if you were to look into build.prop carefully you would see these lines:

If pointing you on the one single file which answers your question is rude and unhelpful, then we probably have other definitions for being helpful. We're on xda-developers after all, it's not a kindergarten.

Is that normal?

Also i would be very thankful if you shed some light on what hardswap is and where is it present?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stoianmitkov:
Can someone explain me how to install the rom, because I can't found any instructions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
+1. It would be great for me and others that find themselves semi-noobs to hear a little bit about this new feature.

You need a custom recovery (something like PhilZ recovery or CWM recovery). Get the latest version for i9300 in their respectful topics here on XDA (search on forum or google). If you are on stock ROM you need them i .tar extension to flash via Odin (PC programme). If you have custom recovery already then download latest version of one of them in .zip file and install via existing recovery.

After that download ArchiDroid latest version (2.4.4 for now) and put it on your device (I suggest you to put it on external SD card). Do a full wipe, and install Archidroid.zip. It has Aroma installer and will guide you through the process.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stoianmitkov:
I'm on Neat rom with yank555 kernel now. I have a philz recovery. Is the way the same that you told me - wipe data, wipe cash and flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Okay, so...

As we all know, our device has 1 GB of ram, this is a very small amount nowadays and everyone is looking for a way how to extend this.

First of all you should read how Linux manages it's memory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory

The one thing, which you may know already is zram. Zram creates a virtual swap space. This swap space physically is a bubble located in a RAM and when Android moves unused memory pages to zram, in fact kernel does compressing job. So the end result is the fact that we can swap up to ~100-200 MB, with average compression ratio of 40%, saving up to 40-50 extra megabytes.

However, it has some disadvantages - the more you swap, the more system laggs. Kernel needs time to compress/decompress/move memory pages in realtime, and this directly hits CPU. While it's not a big overhead because of fast algorithms and CPU, in fact we can very easily get out of memory and zram bubble eventually will pop.

Hardswap is another approach. We "sacrifice" a fixed amount of space and extend our primary memory with additional megabytes of free space. 512 MB free ram? Are you kidding us? Well, not. But hardswap also has it's disadvantages.

In zram situation, we sacrificed CPU speed. In hardswap situation, we sacrifice I/O speed. The whole point is giving OS a fixed amount of space located physically on much slower permanent memory, such as hard drive, sd card, eMMC and similar.

Hardswap is not a "new" technology, it's used both in Linux and Windows since ages, in Linux it's called swap, in Windows - "virtual memory", which exists typically on your C: drive in file "pagefile.sys". In both OSes it's active by default and you may not even know that it's used on your PC right now :).

So what offers a new WIP feature? Basically it gives you an option to sacrifice I/O speed for more RAM, and it's not a placebo effect, RAM is effectively used, as effectively as it's possible, which means that Android will try to swap out unused pages to swap, giving more memory to active tasks.

Hardswap has one big advantage over zram. It's not a big unstable bubble, which may pop. It physically extends available amount of RAM, for it's I/O cost and potential slowdown of course. The "physically" word is important here because while zram exists in kernel and is a bubble, here nothing can go wrong, apart from slowdown. It's physical extension.

It's not a magic thing, which adds free 1 GB of RAM to your device, however, it may give some profits for some kind of people, the same way as zram does.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Update Phliz to latest (6.26 I think) and do a full wipe (I personally wipe everything: system, cache, preload, data, boot, modem...) and then install Archi's zip.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NOMIOMI:
Is this rom has the latest PA feature like Hover?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No, we have better things. Like fastest ROM for SGS3, keep your PA features, we want it fast :D.
