Hi

Is there any one using this ROM?

Tell us whether is there is a efs issue?

Is the modem included able to convert v1 to v2 efs? Worried about losing my IMEI and S/n
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
The included Modem is for EFS v2 and will be flashed with this ROM ;) It´s just to make sure, no user who used an older Base ( older than at least MG4 ), loses his IMEI. Flashing a newer Firmware without updating your Modem is a bad idea since some users actually still use obsolete Modems..

Even if you should lose your IMEI, you can recover it by flashing at least a newer Modem ( MG4+ ) ;) It´s not a bad idea to create a EFS Backup first ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gopzzz:
Clear and quick reply. Downloading or ROM to try...

Is it possible to get the tweaks, mods and apps as in PAC man ROM like pie, halo, settings mod etc?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
If you really want Pie, there is a way to use it without having to install a AOSP based ROM : Have a look at this nice app ;)

Hi Gorgtech

I know this app before and had hands on it when I downgraded to 4.2.2 rom.. not as fluent/smooth as experienced in Pacman inbuilt rom. had few FC's and was disappointed. thats why I think building it in would be a great help.

apps like multiview/halo/pie/side bar/ gesture control all work really great if cooked inside the rom. as in AROMA installer.

Looking for ur help so that we can have a great ROM. stable fast and clean means minimal and necessary useful apps built in makes the ROM as daily user one....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cub3r:
Finally... I've been waiting for such a lightweight ROM like this... Normal stock is so full of bloatware. This is what i need.... thank you!

wakeup lag

Does this rom have the wakeup lag?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
If it´s a Samsung feature, it may have it ;) Everything seems to work fine for me, no sleep of death or random reboots :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
First impression : It's working fast and even without special mods I'm sure it's better, faster and more battery-saving than the original one.

Waiting for the Boeffla kernel and you're mods on TouchWiz :)

Only one thing wich is missing in my opinion : LiveWallpapers ;) (I'm sure you'll upload it in some seconds :D)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
Anyone got problems with very very slow charging?

I know is not your mistake Gorgtech :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
No, its fine. Once I had such a problem. Disappeared after charger change.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] diddsen:
ah, one more who have this problem ...

have had also in past... flash a stock kernel, boot and look if work (it will ;) ), then install yank again

here you can mk2 repacked stock from neat download of my dropbox: klick

:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
After using it for a few of days I found another problem. Sometimes I have a FC doesn't matter which application, but it's only about one time per day. But the more annoying thing is, that TouchWiz restarts very often, this problem was fixed in you v2.7 ;)

Is it only me having these problems ? I really hope Samsung is bringing a better ROM for our S3 :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
I have absolutely no FCs, I use Nova Launcher Prime though since this Launcher is worth a few bucks and highly customizable.

I´m also testing Lord-Boeffla´s latest Kernel ;)

Samsung should have equipped all Galaxy S3 Models with 2GB of RAM..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] diddsen:
yes, you're right... the 4.3 is terrible.

better with other kernel but far away from to be good.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
Hey [MENTION=4827892]Gorgtech[/MENTION],

Thanks for this small size, smooth and fast ROM. I have been testing it for 1 day and so far it looks really good to me. Only one question, as I am a person who loves minimalism, can I change the res of this ROM to 245 dpi smoehow?

Regards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
You could change the DPI by editing the build.prop yourself ;) You need to change the permissions first in order to be able to modify this file, don´t forget to change them back after you´re done.

This is the path: /system/build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density=320 -> ro.sf.lcd_density=245

It´s the best to create a Nandroid Backup first since playing with the build.prop may leave you stuck in a Bootloop if you´re not careful enough ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cludedu:
been using for 2 days, love this rom. one of the only roms that can nearly match aosp in terms of speed. I stopped using cyanogen because instagram and Snapchat is faulty with aosp roms, I'm so glad I tried this one out.

currently using with googy's latest 4.3 kernel. have greenify installed to disable some background processes. battery isn't as good as aosp, but is good, moderate use today, after 11 hours, it's at 7%, but I did use gps for half an hour, which killed 20% pretty quickly.

overall, very satisfied for daily use, and probably won't be changing for a while until kitkat. thanks again Dev!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Really? I've been using slim bean rom and battery isn not nearly as good as on samsung ones. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or need some fine tuning?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
[MENTION=4827892]Gorgtech[/MENTION],

Sometimes I get this attached error and the device has trouble to connect wifi networks while other devices have no problem.

I lived this issue on 2 different wifi networks which made me started to think it might be related with ROM?

Edit: I want to correct what I said, this is happening during randomly while I am connected to a wifi. I mean it is not something I get this error once I try to connect. It is happening while I am connected.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
I didn´t notice this error before or maybe I wasn´t aware. Sometimes I get a disconnect in Whatsapp, that´s all... :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cludedu:
haven't tried slim bean so can't comment. but with cyanogen, i was able to get roughly 2 days of moderate use, around 36 hours if i remember correctly :)

i would probably have stayed with aosp if the camera worked properly
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
I´ve tried a AOSP ROM once on my S3 and was horrified :angel: I prefer a stable System with 100% working hardware :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
I think there is a solution for this problem : When you go to the Wifi-settings there is a point ( I'm not sure how the exact name is in english) "automatic change between Wifi and mobile internet". You can deactivate this setting and don't worry, if you leave your house for example the phone changes to mobile internet ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
Guys, enjoy your last Android Version for now:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] QIQgame:
Damn. So we would get a properly working 4.3?

Using Andi's Kernel the beta 1 so far so good.. With 3.3 Gorgoid.

But less than a 24 hours experience.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] diddsen:
iam so angry now... wtf...

going back to 412 best for next time i think
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
By the time Samsung may release a final JB 4.3 version, I´ll be in Kitkat heaven :angel:

Samsung skipped the JB 4.2.2 leak though it was quite decent and had less bugs. At least Samsung should have released the kernel sources for this version since this one was closer to a "final" release than the JB 4.3 they´ve offered through OTA..

Well, no more Samsung phones for me, at least not if I´m expecting any updates for it..

Maybe Samsung will also skip JB 4.3 and offer Kitkat instead, by the time it is already outdated...:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eozen81:
[MENTION=4827892]Gorgtech[/MENTION] you are right but I prefer not be ungrateful since I have been using this phone for a long time. S III was a really amazing phone to me and of course I wish Samsung released stable firmwares for 4.22 and 4.3 but you know this is Android not iOS :) so I can stay on 4.1.2 for a while no big issue for me since this is now an obsolete model in Android world :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
4.1.2 is very good. The only problem I have is that I can't have track id3 info playing tracks via Bluetooth to car audio. It's some protocol (AVRCP) problem if I'm not mistaken.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
I will certainly contribute, my next phone will probably be an S5 so I have a few months to wait.

How is the Panda?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
The Nexus 5 is a great device but there are some "flaws" you may have to live with:

- the vibration sounds and feels somehow awkward, similar to a dying car engine in comparison to the S3 which is somehow stronger; well, not a big deal for me.

- the screen is super crisp, the viewing angles are quite bad if you use a darker background. The white color seems to have a slight yellowish tint and looks quite "warm". Also not a big deal for me but in comparison to the Nexus7 II screen, it is noticeable.

In comparison to the Amoled screen of the S3, you really have to get used to a simple LCD screen. I somehow liked the strong colors ;)

- the battery life is good but also shorter in comparison to the S3 with Boeffla Kernel an JB 4.1.2. The phone back also tends to become quite hot.

Well, the Nexus5 is not really a Highend phone but the overall performance and build quality makes it a good phone for the low price ;) In comparison to the S3 though you may have some benefits:

- you get the newest Android Versions from Google for at least 18 months.

- you get a super sharp screen with Full HD resolution which is definitely noticeable in comparison the the S3´s screen.

- the overall performance is very high, this thing is a beast.

On the other hand you may have to live with a built in battery, no expandable storage ( at least not the easy way, you´ll need a OTG device eg. a OTG cable + USB Stick or a OTG µSD card reader + µSD card , root, and suitable app to help you out ).

I´ve tried to find stuck or dead pixels with a Test App, didn´t see any or maybe I´m just blind. You have a hard time to spot a pixel at a pixel density > 400ppi. Not a big deal for me, just in case I should spot one, I can still contact Google.

This is my short impression, the Nexus5 is slightly bigger than a Galaxy S3. I use mine with a Spigen Slim Armor ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eruben:
Is there a fix for lockscreen audio distort? When I play music in car via bluetooth unlocking phone distors sound badly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
There is a "fix". I´ve set the screen off frequency to 500Mhz if I remember right, the system requires some time to wake up and because of this sudden load increase, you may hear this stuttering sound. One way to fix it may be to set the screen off frequency to a higher level ( eg. 800-900Mhz ) and check if the unlock effect improves.

I´ve never used the S3 with Bluetooth enabled in a car, unfortunately there is not more I could suggest. The bug may also be one of the new Features of JB 4.3 since I´ve seen similar posts complaining about audio stuttering in other threads..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Great summary of the nexus 5, thanks for that George. My next phone will have to be something special. Still happy with S3 and had it since release date thanks to you and AndiP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
The magical thing about Nexus devices is that you don´t have to tinker around so much. Simply unlock the bootloader, root the device, remove some Bloatware Apps and you´re done. On the other hand, some features are not as easy zu reach ( eg. Wifi Tethering, turn Mobile Data on or off ) like in Touchwiz based Samsung Roms or similar custom GUIs.

I´m happy with my Nexus devices, though they´re not perfect. Kitkat has a few bugs which some of you may be happy not to be confronted with at this moment. Enjoy 4.1.2 and 4.3 while you still can ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
It will still need your magic when you start to tire of stock android!

Hey guys,

I've noticed an overall improvement in laggingness in my S3.

Can someone confirm it is thanks for the new Xposed 2.4 beta 1?

I'm referring to guys running Xposed of course.

I'm using Gorgoid 3.3 with Boeffla Kernel 5.1 beta 1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] diddsen:

Yank kernel is preinstalled? I need a rom with least lag and least customisation.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Yeah, I'm sure yank kernel is installed by default, I'm using boeffla 5.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bocke85:
Which framework version did u guys use. Withbthe 2.4. beta 1 it's all fine and very smooth. And after install the stable 2.4 it's more laggy. So for me i stay with the beta.. I just use it for greenify. Anf the preinstalled yank is great. I normally use also boeffla but for now it's an awesome performance.

wanam xposed

Hey guys I see it is not worth to install wanam xposed on this rom. I am looking for lagfree rom so I think I'll skip it :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] QIQgame:
Does anyone of you guys know a similar ROM like Gorgoid's one? Based on 4.3, clean & fast? Since for now no new Gorgoid is expected

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Well I use wanam exposed with the latest framework. It's a decent lag for me. You might want to try Gravity box since It's much less laggy from my own experience..

Outstanding ROM

Its really an outstanding Rom for galaxy s3. Didnt had any problem 'whatsoever'. Its FAST, STABLE n SUPER SMOOTH. Keep up the good work. Hope to see new updates in future. Thanks for this rom. cheers..!!! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kunal1540:
Dev of this rom has gone nexus 5 way..so i dnt thnk we are seeing any updates although he said that he will keep supporting this thread..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
As I mentioned before in my JB 4.1.2 thread, I have to study for 7 difficult exams and have less time for development right now. I don´t have a S3 any longer which is also something to consider since I cannot test any updates and there could be issues by now with newer recoveries. After 7.2.2014 I ´ll have some spare time left and see what I can do after having written my exams.

The demand for this ROM was quite low since most people seem to prefer a rather overbloatet Stock Rom with lots of added extra Mods which may even cause trouble and decrease the overall performance, I´ve added the updates since I was a S3 user myself and more or less had to go through the trouble of trying to build something decent ;)

Long story short, I´ve spent several hours for each release in order to download a Stock Firmware, extract the System files, removing the Bloatware, building the Mods, creating a flashable zip, performing some testing to make sure everything works out for the best and many more steps.

The rather sad part is, I´ve never asked for any support in form or donations, ratings or thanks and have offered you my work for free.

Having asked if some people were willing to support me after having sold my S3 in order to continue development ( as a nice gesture ) only one or two guys were really willing to support my work. In comparison to the downloads ratio this is something to think about. Other developers would have removed their work by now but I´ve given you a choice.

I´ll see what I can do after my exams and release "untested" versions since I don´t have a S3 any more and don´t want to bother the friend I´ve sold my S3 to with using his device for these purposes..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsimitsangaz:
Thanks for your effort and precious time Gorgtech and your custom rom is awesome regarding battery-memory-performance. So my question is : what about a comparison between your new N5 and S3 ? is it worth it? battery life? pure google experience? Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gorgtech:
Having used the Nexus5 for nearly a month , I think I can give you some insights of my thoughts about this device.

In many ways it is superior in comparison to the S3, it also has some flaws you have to consider since it is a "cheaper" device and not a expensive Flagship device.

The build quality is nice, rather simple and functional. The S3 has more curves.

The performance is great, no lags, no stutter and very fluid. The processing power is a Beast in comparison to the S3 , nearly twice as fast.

I use a slightly modified Stock ROM with partially removed Google services and apps I don´t need and which would drain your battery anway ( eg. Google+ ) and am very pleased with the battery life. This one is similar to the S3´s with Boeffla Kernel, I could reach 4-5 hours of screen on time even with a Stock Kernel.

But there are also some flaws I´ve noticed with my unit:

- the display seems to have a slightly yellowish tint ( it´s really not that bad but the image quality reminds of an old CRT Monitor )

There are fixes for this issue if you cannot live with it ( eg. by using apps which allow you to calibrate the display ).

Another issue which I can live with is the rather poor viewing angle in comparison to the Amoled Display I was used to. The colors are ok and very natural, not as intense as the ones on a Amoled Display. The black looks a bit washed out, depending on your screen brightness.

The max. Brightness is very high, you have absolutely not problems when using this device outside in the sun.

The camera is decent but not very great, it´s slightly better than the S3´s camera. This is nothing I would really care about since we´re talking about a cellphone and most so called "cameras" are inferior in comparison to a real camera ( which eg. has a optical zoom and a superior CMOS sensor ).

The Nexus 5 has no Stereo Speakers, also not something I care about since I´d rather use headphones when listening to music.

AOSP Android is something you may have to get used to if you´re used to Samsung´s Touchwiz which offers you lots of options and a rather colorful interface. Pure Android is "simple" and may not be very good looking but it is functional and simply works without any lags.

Well, as every Nexus device, you also get some restrictions:

- built in battery

- no expandable storage ( at least not without having to use a OTG cable or card reader )

The built in battery suits my needs, even with the device overclocked @ 2,8Ghz, 32GB built in storage are more than enough for me too.

There are many other great developers which have also adopted this device, you may want to have a look at eg. the custom Kernels of Faux123 or Flar which are in many ways similar to Yank555´s or Boeffla Kernel.

Unlocking and rooting the device is also as simple as possible ;)

I don´t regret the switch to a pure Nexus device ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsimitsangaz:
Thank you for your fantastic review Gorgtech , Btw you must think about to be a seller!!! you wave skills. I think I will switch soon to N5 (cheap and monster) and sell my s3 . thanks again and all the best with your studies.
