Distortion using 3G

Hi [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] ,

somehow since a few days (base move?) I experience heavily distorted sound during a call if phone is using 3G.

I've seen this the last time with UltimaRom from [MENTION=3443334]Kryten2k35[/MENTION] and not choosing the Sammy Phone-app during install.

Currently on latest baked (still warm and smoking) experimental and default values.

Best regards,

Pete

<REQUEST>

Please [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] stay on like on omni source and dont cherry pick stuff from other sources than CM.

I prefer a fast rom and not a fancy slow one

</REQUEST>

thanks for your great work :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abhibnl:
Go to /data and look for a file. Cid_info. As instructed by archi! I'm.not sure if this file be there on stock,rom or not!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PeteLeFreak:
Thanks for the information.

Just out of curiosity: do you see that on your installation as well? (The stuttering progress circle while waiting/charging)

I cannot remember anyone mentioning this behaviour in this thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I've seen this on Omni and on CM, looks like some global issue. Not a big problem, probably will be fixed sometime soon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
I prefer this behavior, because it means my phone is doing something else than just displaying a progress circle.

There is no real progress indicator, it's only a kind of "please wait" with no indication on what's done exactly.

So I prefer having a phone focusing on loading some app and its data in memory and considering the "please wait" animation as secondary task, instead of a phone focusing on displaying a nice and smooth "please wait" animated message prior to load the requested app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghoster76:
I updated experimental version day by day but after few hours using, I returned to AD 2.4.6. It's still the best choice
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
Here my requests: (just for the kicks)

- some sort of one handed mode (Note or S5 one?)

- notification power widget (from old cm roms) / Notification area custom shortcuts at the bottom

- active display including option to invert all colors when the surounding light is bright. (sensor)

- lockscreen notifications

- omni roms "mini dailer" (would be great if it could be possible to switch between AOSP Dialer and Omnis Mini one)

- that awesome audio optimisations from the SOKP ROMs Kernel. ;) that sokp rom has the best sound on the i9300

- hoover & peek

- flipable tiles

- bring back the brightnesslider to notification area, maybe add an "invert all colors" toggle there, too

- contextual notification panel header (archi style)

- breathing statusbar icons like email, sms etc.

....damn, I'm just dreaming :)

Just landed here while searching for stable KitKat ROM for S3. I currently have Stock Android 4.3 on S3, which is even after removing 80% of bloatware.is quite laggy through out. Planning to give the S3 to my lil sis with faster and stable daily usage ROM with all the required applications installed on it. Can you advise, how is this performing and how safe is it for a daily use ?

PS: Is it compatible with international GT-I9300 of S3 ? And, or Do we need to flash modem etc. ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vyp54:
Of all the ROMs I've tried for S3 Archi's (1.x or 2.x) is the most stable. I have never experienced a reboot. 1.x is based on stock 4.3 and 2.x is AOSP based.

[QUOTE/] can you advise, how is this performing and how safe is it for a daily use ?

It's performing great, everything is excellent except perhaps the camera and video which are not as great as stock as it can be blurry and freeze. I'm using 2.4.4.

Also as it's kit kat all apps will store files in internal sd. Need to manually move pictures n videos to external drive which is a pain.

I don't recall flashing any modem. Do read instruction on how to flash in question n answer well. I missed that, used an old cwm (I think that's what it's called) rather than Phil touch and ended up having boot looping and losing my imei number. Painful process but it's worth it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] feiks:
this would be more of a suggestion than a request. Is there any way to give the user an option between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 dialers upon install ( and preventing it from updating itself in case google play autoupdates )? Some may find the earlier one more suiting. Just my two cents.

And thank you so much for your work, easily best phone+rom combo, I've ever had.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] r4Rok:
So, which one is bad the murata or the semcosh. The cid_info on stock Android 4.3 says it's semco on my SG3 GTI9300.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PeteLeFreak:
which could explain that Bluetooth performs badly in my case regardless if I choose murata or semcosh.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] regaber:
[MENTION=5010673]r4Rok[/MENTION] If it's for your little sister, give Archidroid 1.X a try first and see how it performs. It's maybe a tiny bit less snappy than 2.X, but is based on stock, so your sister will enjoy a flawless experience.

In my experience, nothing else than AD 1.X has given me better battery, camera performance and bluetooth compatibility.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] .sunny:
I just want to fix freezing, and better battery little bit and I will be happy
[Galaxy S III Android Development] r4Rok:
Hmm, just finished downloading latest 2.4.6 release. According to your advise and OP's post, i should first give a try to AD 1.X....well in that case version 1.7.16. Fine, let me have it download....@912.5 MB.....it's going to take almost 3 hrs here to finish download. Will revert back tomorrow, after installing both the ROM.

Since, it's 3 hrs duration to finish AD 1.x download.....in the mean time, i feel it's better to check AD 2.4.6.

PS: If need to move to AD 2.4.6 from AD 1.7.16..........will it just simple re-flashing the ROM, or it need something elese to do.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] antimo84c:
Just a compliment for [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]: I tried very much rom, this is really the best one. You have talent. I am curious to see what will happen now that u will switch to CM and when android L will be release, but a thing is sure: galaxy s3 with u is in golden hands.

Love this rom. Would also love to see lockscreen blur & lockscreen notifications options added. great work tho
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mark5:
Lol. Just logged in after work and seen the 'feature request' :)

For me the latest experimental is working fine except for blur effect on Google camera fc'ing on rendering the image, which I can live with. Other than that all the latest commits seem to have helped a lot and I am sure the Bluetooth and gps will get better as time goes by.

Btw - For those that want quiet hours on cm, go to settings, sound and voila!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vldesco:
I think that feature request day was only a Joke from Archi :D, He has said many times, He won't cherry picking AD to assure stability and performance. I think that optional stuff (like the Bluetooth one) will be included only if it helps to some users to resolve issues not related to ROM/Kernel.

Currently I am happy with AD 2.4.6 and ArchiKernel v1.1 while waiting for AD 2.5 is finished and released (when Archi says it is ready to release).

Hey everybody,

Feature request!! jejeje

All three links are info on the same apk (the second link has a video), it is basically a sleep option for android, and when active, if you "turn off" your phone it takes only 2 seconds to turn off and when you turn it on again it boots up in 2 seconds.

If you reboot the phone it reboots normally, in my case about 1 minute.

It works fine in AD 2.5.0 Experimental.

It is really

not that useful

, unless you use the airplane mode a lot and this can replace it and use less battery, but it REALLY looks impressive if you are bragging to your friends of the boot speed of your phone!

Very good ROM. I've never experienced such smoothness before. Battery life is also good, on par with stock ROMs.

My only problem is that video recording sucks. Recorded videos are in 17fps 12mbit instead of 30fps 24mbit.

Hey thanks for yet another update :)

where can i find the newest modem available?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
In custom preset, XXEMG4 bundled. There is also XXEMG5 available but I haven't packed it yet, XXEMG4 is great imho.

You can also download my XXEMG4 modem standalone here
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nabobalis:
Any way I can change my google apps to the non-inverted ones?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
By reinstalling them through google play. AD installs GAPPS as user apps, so you can easily manage them after installation. Exception: youtube.

And BTW - you can delete system apps through Titanium Backup so youtube isn't a problem as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Simonna:
I think something is wrong with Aroma on your newest version because switched through pages extremely slowly I mean every 1 min and I stuck at 0% or 8% I tried it 3 times,the same,did a full wipe like always, strangely I didn't have that problem on your previous build when slowly switched trough pages on Aroma and now I have...

Edit: passed it with your default profile :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Nope, it's completely normal - that's how aroma works.

That's why I implemented presets. You can either flash with preset or try with custom mode ;). Sorry, nothing wrong on my side. Poke [MENTION=402300]amarullz[/MENTION] ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] peraklo:
i know this probably was answered a milion times before, but i just have to ask...

If i want to upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.1.2, will all my settings be intact? (especially Apex screens and setup)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
ArchiDroid Update mode does not wipe /data so yes, you'll have your setup.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Egozy:
Confirmed about Aroma being stuck at 0% on 2.1.2, and 2.1.1 got stuck on 7% and 8%. It happens randomly, so you have to try to flash 3-4 times until you get a successful flash. Eventually it works perfectly though!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] peraklo:
will there be any problem since my last instal was from sd card which is now unavailable to me?

For me Focal camera still FCs on front camera...

Another thing...how can I change only the kernel without having to run all the update procedure?

No issues here.

Flash only kernel then, find standalone zips at the right places.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] peraklo:
hm, i might just be a bit dumb, but where is the download link for the new version? on the first page, first post links but they all contain just the 2.1 version updated last at the beginning of August.

Hey archi the games r freeIng on my device all the time after I updated..any idea y that is... thanks for this rom..I love it :thumbup: :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BillG24:
Reason for this could be that the Games are not yet updated for Android 4.3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tinyutilsdroid:
Excellent ROM. Been using this for over 2 weeks now and can definitely vouch that this is the best ROM with the right balance between features, performance and most importantly (for me) battery life.

One problem I'm seeing, though - ever since I switched to this ROM, 3G data is a lot slower than usual. Am not sure if ROM is the problem, but when flashed back a backup of CM11 (official nightlies), the speed seems to be fine. Anyone knows if there is an easy solution (and if anyone else has the same problem?)

I'm a resident of India.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Semcosh is supposed to be bad. I have murata and no problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Damn. I'm one of those unlucky ones as well. Can't believe buying a phone has to come down to even who makes it and where. This is ridiculous.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davpod:
I cant seem to be able to locate the file cid_info. Is it possible that it simply does'nt exist on my S3? Is there another way to know if my S3 is murata or semcosh?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
But make sure that you are affected before judging. Flashing ArchiKernel along with newest experimental AD will tell you if you are. Camera doesn't work for unlucky guys.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It must exist, you're using crappy explorer. Use root browser.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m01zn:
Having the same issue..using root browser
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fedex-bermu:
[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] Im unable to find it also.

I looked for it first with es file explorer, then root browser and finished with the explorer in recovery (think its called aroma file manager but maybe Im wrong) but Im sure as hell that I dont have that file in /data.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Will implement ArchiDroid auto-detect and optimize :cool:.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Interesting thing is I also have semcosh and as you probably know Archi I've never experienced any odd situations with camera, blootooth etc while running AD 1.X/2.X from the time I had entered custom world (which literally means one year #wohoo) so maybe that's not supposed to be, let's say, rule? :) Hope so anyway. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Second theory for today: Bad models are those WITHOUT .cid.info...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
What does it exactly say? semco or semcosh?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fedex-bermu:
I dont have any problem with my camera neither with my bluetooth... but some more feedback from people without cid.info would be better.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Have you tested ArchiKernel? There are no problems on smdk4x12 kernels.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] microcens:
u mean that in archikernel with murata, camera works fine?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I don't know, I don't work at Samsung. I'm trying to guess.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fedex-bermu:
Yes I tested with your kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Okay then, then it's pretty random I guess.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
semcosh

The file exactly exists where it should - in /data under the .cid.info name.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] styku468:
I have a question. I have 2..4.6 installed and just one thing i wanted 2 change is camera. Is there a way to change it to another or something? Cuz i get errors and photos arent so good as on stock 4.3 camera.

Help please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RushaPoiL:
My brick in the wall :

my data\cid_info says "murata" and i have crappy "video framerate and interleaving" bug

using AD 2.4.6 with properly flashed archikernel 1.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
... This is global bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] c1chy:
Hi guys, maybe it will not bring too much into discussion, but I found code in macloader indicating that cid.info file is created based on wireless MAC address.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/51891/1/macloader/macloader.cpp

So, if you have matching MAC you will see either murata or semcosh in your cid.info file. Otherwise this file will be nonexistent/deleted.

Here you can lookup MAC addresses and i.e. 88:30:8A is Murata, while I for example have 88:32:9B - which is Samsung.

http://www.macaddresslookup.co/browse-1001.1

So, you can all find out what "type" you have based on MAC address. :)

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliw32619:
I have semcosh and no camera problems
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Orel1996:
So on 2.4.6 the video frame rate is always bad? Even on 720p? Or maybe just on your kernel?

Thanks for your work Archi :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
someone please help...

I have 2.4.6 , clean wipe install ... The phone hangs and shutsdown all on its own..

I tried to reinstall , still the same.. Can anyone help me ?

I cant do anything and also its very random.. I dont knowwhat is causing the issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RushaPoiL:
just with archidroid kernel, no video bug with boeffla

but archi's kernel is so badass, i just wish someone finds out how to get rid of that annoying bug
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
Sure, as there is no link between the "semcosh" and the camera.

The semcosh or murata is about the provider of the Bluetooth chip, not the camera.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
That's true, but first tests indicated that only users with secomsh were unlucky :). Now I know that it's pretty random.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliw32619:
Yeah but after i came from Archiport to use Archidroid 2.X weeks ago , yesterday i found that i cannot connect to any other wifi except my saved one , what's the problem?

i reverted to the first experimental

downloading latest experimental now...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh i apologize. I thought you meant camera issue in general. I'm still on 2.4.5 stable with boeffla 2.7 beta 7.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
It's random, because this "second source" applies for many things. As you may know, the camera module has two (at least) providers for the camera module : Samsung and Sony.

The camera module has it's own firmware, and the kernel should match the capabilities of the camera. The camera firmware can be updated by the stock ROMs by using specific dial pad sequence (see http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/jb-4-1-2-camera-driver-t2006128 ).

It's also working with AD 1.x but only by installing the bloatware package (as it contains the service apps called by the dial pad sequence).

That's why some people may have issues with one kernel while others don't, as the stock samsung ROM may use different firmware+kernel versions depending on the country, the service providers, etc... depending on the last flashed "official" version the phone have seen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] r4Rok:
After almost 5 hours of downloading, I installed tested both AD 1.7.16 and AD 2.4.6. Though, AD1.7.16 is definitely faster even with Stock 4.3 ROM, however maybe because of Boeffla kernel it's using. I didn't like to stick to 4.3 and moved to 2.4.6, which is KitKat based. It works fine, except two things i want to change and couldn't locate the settings from the sea of features.

Can you advise,

1. how to increase screen DPI, every thing on the screen is so "small" it strains eye on lower light. In other words, how to make things on screen like in the stock ROM.

2. How to get back an HD resolution, cos' with default setup that i am running even the HD wallpapers are looking craps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] .sunny:
flash rom again,dirty and choose 320 DPI :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
Regarding the use of Semcosh or Murata bluetooth driver, I was using AD 2.4.6 since last week with the default (Semcosh) driver, and I've seen my /data/.cid.info file mentioned "murata".

So yesterday I decided to give a try to the mod, rename the /system/bin/bcm4334.hcd file to bcm4334.hc_ ; then I copied the bcm4334_murata.hcd to bcm4334.hcd and rebooted.

Now, I don't know if its related, but previously, while driving for my Home<>Office trip (30' each way), and listening MP3 via BT, I had a few 'cuts' in the music in the meantime ; and now I tried 3 times, and it seems there is no cut in the music (except for the notifications).

And something strange also happened : previously, when I was at work and my phone remained idle liying on the table for hours, the battery drain with AD 2.4.6 was around 2.2 % per hour.

Today, the battery drain is 1.2 % per hour... :p

Maybe the wrong driver applies the wrong configuration to the BT chip, leaving it in idle mode instead of Off mode, don't know, I will in the coming days if this tiny battery drain is stable or not.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] plerohero:
Which is that package? Where can I find and install it on AD?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
