Ahh obviously its your build to do what you like with but that set up is not quite true to life.

Use a colour calibration chart ( or a pack of multi coloured felt tip pens) and use the camera app to compare true life to what's on screen. You should notice that compared to the colour chart/pens your preview is desaturated. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
For me it's far better than Samsung's colors and it's only my preset, users can easily change that ;).

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Boldizzle:
Is just something I got used to with the last Samsung rom that I ran where I could make it respond a bit quicker and now it's a habit that I need to get back into haha.

That's cool though, small compromise for all the awesome features I get in return.

Thanks for the quick response, eagerly awaiting your kitkat stable release. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] peraklo:
Then lets go kitkat :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Soon... ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
...time to start hittin' F5 like a maniac? xD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Not yet. Until you see "release today" on my github then there's nothing to refresh :p.

If you look at 2.X-STABLE then there's always release today on the top :laugh:.

cm 10.1

i am having battery life issues..can anyone tell me the 10.1 verson of archidroid? love his rom and work so thinking to going down
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
2.0.3.

Not supported anymore.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:
Any bugs on 2.2.5?

a link to the current bugs/issues with cm11 on i9300 will do

Is the memory leak gone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
exFAT sdcards still don't work.

Everything else is gone. About memory leak - no idea. You'll need to test it yourself.

Overall kitkat is in the state "available" for putting in stable branch. If there are any issues, they're minor.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:
That's alright.

Will definitely be testing as soon as you release stable over the weekend.

Anything else that used to work on AD 2.2.4 and doesn't work on 2.2.5?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
There's still no HALO, no Dark Droid, no ListView animations and a bit more things which existed in AD 2.2.4.

But there's navigation bar, AOKP animations, Quick Settings and many more cool things.

Guys How's the battery backup..??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] strubius:
Hi, I had the same problem... Went to Apps manager, clear cache, disable and then enable again (had to do it twice). It worked, but don't ask me why...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] phoberus:
I couldn't flash the newest experimental with the philz recovery (5.18.5).

After "Setting Permissions", the error: "set_metadate_recursive: some changes failed" is displayed

Anyone knows the solution for my problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Of course you can't, because PhilZ recovery is not up to date.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thotwielder:
Thanks, that works for me. I also found it needs to clear data as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] benedictros:
Took a picture with my phone this morning, when the flash triggered, my screen flickered and it rebooted into a bootloop (stuck in cyanogen boot with circle going around and around). I can enter recovery and download mode but dont see any helpful info... Anyone have suggestion on what to do? (i know this isn't an archidroid problem perse, but it happened while on this rom v2.2.4 and was just hoping maybe someone can help?)

i encountered a similar bootloop problem before, and ended up using ODIN to install stock EMG4 then back to archidroid... but i am hoping someone else might have a quicker/easier solution. Any input will help.

Edit: anyone know of a way that i can still backup my sms despite this bootloop problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:
Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup then use titanium backup and look for "extract from nandroid backup" and look for messaging data from the nandroid backup you made and just restore data
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schooner:
Hi Archi.

This is my second ROM flash ever and have to say I am really enjoying it.

Only question I have is where the hell can I learn about what all the various settings and information the ROM has to offer.

Also is there ways of tweaking for battery life ?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Hey Archi, I want to flash your Rom, but i want to know when you release your Kitkat Rom, because then I know that is worth that I flash now the 2.2.4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Tomorrow or in a few hours.

When I'm just about to release 2.2.5, new emergency bug comes in :D. Happening for last few hours.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Thanks for your answer and I will wait :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Der-Knuffi:

We could still use Temasek's for now.

It's up to you ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
ArchiDroid works fine, but I'm not very happy about third-party issues which are affecting it more or less.

Anyway, I'm going to start uploading in an hour or so.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
... Yes you can change that in kernel's settings. CM didn't merge it yet. What did you expect from a release before official nightly? :p

Google calendar does not sync yet, but nobody stops you from installing working one from google play.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It's highly proposed to do a full wipe.

Thanks so much for this reply, buddy. You saved me a lot of heartache. Going through nandroid backup process now. will update asap. :)

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

The FAQ on the first page is a good place to start. You can also check out some of the video reviews that have been posted by various users. Those are also linked in front page i think. I learned the most about the rom by just going through all the available settings and some of the apps/tweaks that were installed with the default. You can tweak battery many ways. But from what i've read, the best way to get the most out of battery is by choosing the ultimate battery (something like that) option during the aroma installation. Different kernels also give different battery/performance balances. Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mynote@xda:
Hi Archi, I flashed 2.2.5 with Boeffla Kernel, have skipped Cyanogenmod Account and setuped Google Account. Then I went into Settings to change framework from dalvik to art. Now my phone is booting since 10 min. Is this normal, that it takes so long?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yes because it needs to convert all dex files into special art files. It may take VERY long time.

If it won't boot after let's say 15 minutes then you have "something" which is not compatible with ART yet.

When I lastly tested it, it worked for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mynote@xda:
Ok thanks, I will wait a few minutes.

Yet I have not installed something. Only this, what is offered in Aroma installer.

Would it be possible to add an choise later in installer?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
From technical point of view, it's possible. From practical point of view, totally pointless. Most of the apps don't work yet with ART and even if I love it and suggest, it's still too early to even think about switching to ART for good.

Also, don't expect anything from 2.2.5. It's considered as release candidate for a good reason.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] strubius:
I must say your work is impressive! Only an RC version and I already can't download it!!! :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mynote@xda:
Now I've running system with Dalvik. First impressions are really good and I believe for release candidate it will be ready for daily use.

Only one point doesn't work: I cannot uninstall Wallpapers, Android Keyboard with Titanium Backup. I have changed Su App to SuperSu. It's the same.

Thanks for your good work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Known issueeeeeees.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mynote@xda:
Aah, OK!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] strubius:
Any other links for 225? Maybe I have to try another day?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] schooner:
Is it possible to return to the aroma installer to explore different kernals and to untick the cool tools app ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Of course, just reflash and tick update mode when ArchiDroid asks you (as the last step).

I am going to flash the 2.2.5 tonight.

I am using twrp recovery. I think I will change to philz recovery because that seems to be recommended. So can I just flash philz zip file using twrp or must I flash the new recovery via odin?

currently using archidroid 2.2.4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] strubius:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Suhayl Memon:

Every time i flash this rom through philz i get no boot screen nothing, it just reboots and shows the samsung logo, after a while it goes back into recovery why?

Im using 2.2.5 newest zip file

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
And of course you're not using googy-max crazy dualboot feature as 2nd rom, are you?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schooner:
Would it work using twrp? I quite liked it layout
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Depends if your TWRP has support for new set_metadata.

You can ask it in thread. This is relatively new function (max a month).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] super acid ninja:
Whenever i install it says everything installed but when I reboot I get the Samsung screen then straight into Philz.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Strange then. It shouldn't act like that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Heyo experimental guys. We're slowly but surely bringing back functions from ArchiDroid 2.2.4.

Active Display awaits in current experimental ;).

Have fun.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chaosking121:
The statement in the known issues section in the OP about some features not being included yet is sort of vague. Are HALO, ListView animations and Dark Droid the features that ARE included or the ones that are missing? Sorry for a rather pointless question everyone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Right. These are NOT yet included.

HALO is floating around Cristiano's repos. I'm waiting for final merge. It should be here in a few days.

Dark Droid (TRDS) is awaiting for new implementation by kufikugel (Slim Roms Developer).

Advanced display should be merged by CM, if they don't do so, I'll.

Everything else is after these three.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boostjunki3:
Archi, not sure if bug or bad install on 2.2.5, but swiping breaks the AOSP keyboard by closing it and then it reopens after a few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Good question, as I don't have AOSP keyboard right now.

Even so, I wouldn't expect anything from a release before official nightly... :laugh:.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] egotheist:
Some info for those who installed with full wipe and trie to restore SMS but fail without any idea why. In 4.4 you can restore messages only with SMS app that you set as default. That doesn't seem to be logic, but anyway you have to set your SMS back up app as default SMS viewer. After restore you'll have to switch your preferred SMS viewer as default one. I've tried with Super backup first, but after restore I couldn't find any messages on my device. I tried SMS backup & restore app and it explained me what I have to do.

Hope that would be useful.

Archi, your work is flawless as usual, thank you for keeping our devices up to date! Samsung plans to update SIII only in April 2014, not so soon, huh?

I still miss transparency settings for status bar and lockscreen and some other features but it's just a matter of time. I know ;)

Cheers!

Apart from the screen sharpness/colour tweak which is too... "dead" the room is very smooth, more than Temasek's CM11.

One issue I've found is that the screen flickers once in a while at the bottom. Very distracting. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romskii:
Short question, does your ROM flashes new modem like sammy ROM's? :eek:

I had a big bug on tema, when someone calls me, I can't receive the call because I've had a white screen ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xxxxchrisxxxx:
Also, a small issue but it doesn't seem to like setting new wallpaper via the gallery. I get the messages 'unfortunately, com.android.wallpapercropper' has crashed... or something similar.

Thanks for your work on this Rom.. fantastic.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] peraklo:
Dont really know if this is a rom bug or known issue... My Titanium Backup does not accept my Pro key anymore... I regularely install it via Play Store, but my app still says it is not pro... even after reboot...

other than that (for now) everything seems smooth... no lags or crashes so far... will report if anything happens tho :D

EDIT: One more thing... before, when my device was connected to google services, the wifi or 3G icons turned blue.... now, they are always white, even though sync to google works, as i can see...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] egotheist:
New modem is icluded in .zip, but it's up to you to update it or not, just choose preferred flash settings in Aroma. I've updated, no issues with incomig calls so far.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romskii:
I tried latest modem but had no signal ... corrupted efs.

When it's up to me, I'll try ;) thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PilgrimToHyperion:
Hmmm. struggling heavily to install 2.2.5

I've tried from internal, external, full wipe. Always get the error "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" just after 53% installation.

Any ideas? Busy redownloading the rom now in case it's that.

2.2.4 flashes fine.

Hi archi. I have a question relating to 2.2.4

I have been using it for the last few days and noticed my RAM has been plumiting. Right now its over 700 used and 100 free. I have seen it as low as 20.

Reason i ask is because sometimes my browser freezes. Are they related?

Can i rectify the low free RAM numbers? Will that fix the browser freezing.

Doesnt freez often but when it does its lile 15 sec.

Just upgraded to v2.2.5 using all the default options, such as Nova Launcher.

The problem I have is that soft buttons don't work. They light up when pressed, but I have no 'menu' or 'back' button.The hard 'home' button works fine. I tried to enable the soft buttons under 'Navigation bar' settings, but those don't show either.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elcabone:
it's not possible to change the location where the camapp stores the pictures, like sdcard isn't it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Depends on the camera app. If it doesn't have such function, it's not possible.

It's connected with a keyboard. Keyboard handling is still not perfect with 2.2.5. Go to options => keyboard (language, input) and make sure that default keyboard and enabled keyboards are OK.

You should ask CM about this. Use /storage/emulated/legacy or /data/media/0 path.

Depends on your browser. Flash works fine in default browser, but f.e. chrome doesn't have flash support at all and it won't work.

In other words, if you selected flash support in aroma and flash doesn't work for you then you need to change the browser because your current one won't work with flash.

Depends which application you're using to check that. Linux has used, cached, buffered and free ram. In fact everything apart from free ram is considered as "used" in many apps, and in fact it is not. Therefore it's okay to have all ram used, as long as it's not divided to these three categories.
