Is rootbox on 4.4?

ALSO has anyone tried the new kernel with any other releases? Trying to figure out what's best for battery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
CWM is better than TWRP for a lot of reasons, such as that it's supported by CM. TWRP just has features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Rootbox is in a holding pattern on 4.2.2 as far as I know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BottleB:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Oh yeah he definitely totally is loving his life right now.

I still can't decide on what hotplugging method we should use. This is killing me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jiggs82:
Can't you just leave the kernel stock cm then? Or it doesn't matter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:

I do, but only after I get this camera alive, like a Phoenix, rising from Arizona.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
My camera is working well after updating. That's good news, I took the Mrs on an impromptu vacation and I like taking lots of pictures lol. Finished flashing as we backed out of he driveway :D

Is thalamus' hot plugging an option? I've never had issues with it on other kernels.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I could always try out thalamus again. I used it for a little while before switching over to mp-decision in the kernel. I just don't know exactly which is the best and if I should even use an alternate. It's a weird situation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Hmmm... maybe put out two builds with Phoenix's idea of thalmus and the other mp decision? And find out which one people have less problems with?

I dunno, just an idea
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I honestly don't understand your response. He said he couldn't decide which to use, I suggested one. I know it's currently not in this kernel lol

Anyone having issues with Power amp always freezing? I constantly have to kill it manually by going into apps and killing the process
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zzmomo73:
+1 on this.. Probably the app needs to be updated to support 4.4 better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DiViNEX:
So I decided to run airplane mode all day since I hardly use my service, i mostly text so i use google voice, I run airplane mode 80% of the time, saves battery.

But my god I have never ever seen this battery life with my phone...ever.

This is outstanding.

And dexe argued with me that build.prop tweaks and init.d scripts were placebo and for older phones? How about now? Still think there placebo? ;)

I'm still on beta 2 since I'm seeing people are having issues with camera, battery, ect on the newer builds.

EDIT

Forgot to mention I'm using kt747(his Kitkat kernel has better battery than his JB kernel) with mpdecicion disabled, and full GPU rending forced (not dynamic).

Of course my customized settings for ktoonservative, and I don't use a cpu1 script. Modifying ktoonservative alone is better IMO.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
This man knows what he's talking about....hop on aim if you have the chance buddy.

I can't believe you prefer CWM over TWRP pwn! I HATE CWM with a bloody passion and because I'm not using 4.4 I avoid it with a 10 foot pole. Still hoping for some more fixes and stability before I get onto 4.4, unless DiViNEX here can convince me it's worth it once we (hopefully) chat tonight ;) -- I'm using his exact settings except on KT JB and Quantum 2.4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DiViNEX:
I love twrp. But with this battery life I'm getting on 4.4 with all of the modifications....I'll hold off on twrp...for now :)

And also I highly recommend people odex there ROM for greater battery life/and performance. I can't explain how great his odex tool is, and it supports kitkat :thumbup:

Oh and I have even better ktoonservative settings that you see in the screenshots. I'll pm them to you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Talked to this dude on aim, and in record time (about 30 seconds) he convinced me to flash 4.4 beta 2. I'll be on your guys' boat soon enough...just not the latest beta 4, cause Pwn said himself battery life is worsened and camera doesn't work....so beta 2 it is.

My FAT32 32GB SD Card works in my phone just dandy, but the exFAT 64GB card is unsupported, it says 0.00 bytes in total space.

I'm assuming exFAT support is a kernel thing, but I may be wrong.

Also another bug to report: ADB over WiFi is not working. I have it enabled in developer settings and I enabled root access for apps and adb instead of just apps only. Running "adb connect 192.168.1.9" (it automatically puts :5555 at the end for the port) says unable to connect in command prompt. Putting the same info in Android Commander doesn't work as well. Might be an issue with 4.4 support of ADB but I will get back to you guys once see if there are any updates from google for that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Subsonic44:
FWIW, I use TWRP, for everything except the installs. It makes and restore nandroids fine. I downloaded the flashable versions that were linked many pages back and that makes it very easy to switch when I need to.

I'm running beta 4 (odexed with the tool) and ktoonservative and I'm getting good battery life. Love to see your ktoonservative settings as well.

Only issue I have with beta 4 was the camera. It was there but would lock up after a photo. Snap camera is working perfectly for me though so I'm happy.

And I just discovered this freebie: http://www.powertoggles.com/

It makes up for not having all the tiles on 4.4 builds. NOW I'm about to delete my 4.3 nandroids!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
this beta 3 is running smooth, yes, battery is a bit warm.

I installed jermain's gapps and the google camera and it works fine with only two galleries showing.

I know I didn't "loose" root, but with root access in the developer options checked for Apps and ADB, super user is denying ROM manager. what is the fix and if it is as easy as flashing superuser again please post the file.

keep it up Pwn, love it!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hytran:
Your post this morning inspired me to fall back to beta 2. I love a big bowl of Boot Loops for breakfast LOL

Never had a problem with all this exFAT stuff. Shortly after I got my 64GB card I tried a custom ROM. Naturally, MS had a deathgrip (ie, $$$$$ for licensing) on exFAT so no custom ROM would work with the card. So I copied off all the data, reformatted it as FAT32 on the PC and copied all my data back. Now exFAT is moot for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brobinson2102:
DiVi, who is "his" that you reference? And where is this odex'ing tool you mention?

Sounds cool.

Would love to search but not sure what I'm searching for.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Okay, now try it without build.prop tweaks. In airplane mode, all day. Conclusive evidence only comes when your battery is calibrated and the kernel "settles" in. I highly recommend using greenify as well.

I wouldn't tell you something that it isn't true if I hadn't tried it out myself. I just came out of living on Quadra island for two months (middle of no where). There was no cellphone service at all, just your bed and toothbrush.

I was still running 4.2.2, but that's not the point. For the first month I sat around playing with my phone, "tweaking" it with scripts. I was able to get 3 days off a charge with light to medium use with similar, if not, the same scripts you use.

Then I reflashed the same ROM without any of the tweaks. I was able to 3 days off a charge with light to medium use. Performance was very similar.

Now the way you put it, I think you should just call me by my forum name and mention me in your post. I find that kind of childish.

Here's an example of a developer posting a mod. But what he's claiming it to do, is weird.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2254999&page=2

Read the top post, because that is the only guy in my opinion who's got common sense. Force rendering the ui with the gpu increases sound quality? Hmmm... Just because you "feel" like a script makes your phone new, doesn't mean the parts are.

"If the "tweak" really works, tell me why Google - creator of Android, who know everything about Android, why they don't use this tweak on Nexus devices?"

- [MENTION=4407940]marcin1147[/MENTION]

You could only really base things off your own experience, I had two months time to figure that out. A good custom ROM will already have all those tweaks. Like I said, I'm really enjoying the 32Bit script. Is there anyway you could make that the default bit depth pwn?

So I ran this ROM last night for about 20 mins and I locked the phone to the lock screen and then I noticed that I couldn't unlock it nothing happend when I would press power button or home button but the notification light was on so I knew the phone was still active so I pulled the battery and tried it again same result sucks I actually liked this version over the other kit Kat ROM what could be the issue...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
Since I got S3 in June this year, I never was using same ROM for more than a week. But Now I am on CM 4.3 build for 10 days without looking for alternative. Its that stable and battery life is awesome. Sometimes got day and half with 4 hrs screen time too.

Every other day, I come to this thread, get tempted to try Quantum 4.4

What shud i do. Will the stability/battery life i was getting, will be completely go south? Any advice

hate to clutter the thread since I know this has been covered. I did my searching but am still at a loss. Superuser is denying access for Rom manager and supersu. here is exactly what I did:

clean flash of Rom- reboot

turned on ART- rebooted automatically

flashed jemain's 11.15gapps- rebooted

set developer option to grant root access for apps and abd

turned on google now

went to playstore and got ES File Explorer

Rom manager from playstore

installed google camera apk from the ext sd

installed latest supersu apk

Installed Supersu from playstore went into settings and granted permission

at this point superuser denied permission.

In Rom manager the phone will not boot to recovery because of the the same prompt: Superuser denied access.

Same also trying to flash latest CWM

What am I missing? feel free to PM me any suggestion if you want to keep the thread clean. I really did search but have been battling this since I turned ART on a few days ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DiViNEX:
I stopped a while ago, he brought it back up again and was extremely rude about it for no reason. I'm just trying to help people out not cause arguments. I have already pm'd pwn and told him sorry for clogging the thread but it wasn't intentional and I didn't start the argument.

Sorry to anyone else for any inconvience. My only intention is to give people insight on my experience and maybe even show something I have tried to have fun with and to try something different. That was all. Isn't that what xda is about helping each other? To create our phone to be better ,faster, powerful and enriched with features and possibilities?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Don't worry bout cluttering up the thread, we're used to it today. ;)

Alright, you've got a lot of the right ideas and files just a little off on the order of things. Here's what I did and haven't had any issues with ART/Superuser. Sorry but you're gonna have to start fresh.

Do a full wipe

Flash ROM

THEN FLASH SUPERUSER ZIP. If you don't have the zip file already do a search for it, it's easy to find.

Reboot

Setup Cyanogen stuff

Boot into Recovery

Flash GAPPS

Reboot

Then sign in to Google and setup your stuff and install your apps.

Now turn on ART and wait three days for ART to optimize your apps at the ''Android is upgrading'' boot screen. Lol

Now this process has worked for me numerous times here in the early going but I'm not gonna make a guarantee it'll work for you. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chr0nicDreamz:

Thank-you for the apology although I really wasn't asking for one. I was simply stating that since there was nothing constructive coming out of the discussion, that it was time to move on the the subject at hand. Being Quantum.

There are many ways to write code and still come up with the same solution. It is always nice to see how someone else would attack a problem. This is how we learn. After 40 years of programming I have learned from looking at other peoples code. You both presented your views and it is up to us the viewers to decide which way we want to go or try both solutions and see what works best for us. Thank-you to both of you for your views on the subject.

This has been discussed for the better part of the last 5-6 pages. There isn't really a fix just a couple things that work for some and not others. Do a quick read through and you might find something that could work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aew0314:
I did read over most of this, it suggests that a full wipe fixes it. It did not, the rest of the fixes say to get Jermaine's camera, to which there is no link for. Not in his thread at least from what I can find.
