Happy New Year to u ...... thinks for this nice rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hansonchen:
This rom is awesome. Excellent battery even with stock kernel, smooth, snappy. I've flashed ArchiKernel for better ram swapping management.

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pepo930:
Will you release an updated version based on 4.3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quaker1985:
Dual booting with AOSP neatrom using arter kernel

and i must say this rom fills definitely faster than any stock rom i have used

Thanks for great rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dasmikko:
Does hdmi work with the kitkat version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khoald92vn:
Hi. Thanks for your great rom. It's awesome. Btw, can you help me how to enable camera on lockscreen? I use pin code and camera widget was disappeared. I installed xposed module named "samsung multiple widget" but it do not support 4.4.2 any more. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrayzrocks:
of course it will disappear since you changed it to pin.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
I havent tested as i dont have one

exactly what [MENTION=5776489]mrayzrocks[/MENTION] said :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pepo930:
Just flashed this ROM and it works pretty good for a Touchwizz one.

The new features are really useful.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khoald92vn:
Yes, I knew it. So is there a way to enable camera while using Pin code?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
No. Its disabled through Samsung

I could try looking inside keyguard apk to see if there is anything i can do ( i dont guarantee it will be available )
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Warrenforfree:
To the op thanks for the nice rom, i'll test further for stability and performance.

so far no problem being encountered. just flash this rom 8hours ago..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] event88:
the rom does not read my sim card !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pepo930:
I've been running it for the last 2 days and It has become very slow.

Something is eating up all of my RAM causing everything to LAG.

I'm using the same apps as on any other ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Warrenforfree:
[MENTION=4991615]pepo930[/MENTION]

I have the same problem like your's before and one reason is the messenger cannot be stop that's only one of the problem.

if you want to keep it then deal with it but if u want to get rid of it. here check this Facebook Chat Re-Enabler follow the instructions.. and 2nd, i think you have to give up the aggressive option of nova in benefit of more ram, and 3rd, try to greenify those other running applications..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
i suppose its fb messenger (its been termed as resource hog app on xda and other android sites for a long time)

Use the hack posted on XDA which will let you continue to be able to chat from the facebook app (not messenger)

Here is the app

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-facebook-chat-enabler-t2934179
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pepo930:
Nah, I had the same problem with Facebook+enabled chat, this is why I put messenger.

I removed both and I still have this problem. Either some app doesnt work well with the Kitkat base or the whole thing isn't meant for 1GB RAM since it's a ported ROM.

With 4.3 + some of my tweaks I've gotten down to 290-330mb RAM usage.

With 4.4 + the same tweaks I hover around 550-620mb RAM usage.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Warrenforfree:
[MENTION=4991615]pepo930[/MENTION]

I'm not sure how you configure you phone but here's mine same performance with stock 4.3

this is the one reason why i leave neatrom for the meantime.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jymsogr:
290 -330?

How man share your config and link to tweaks please
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pepo930:
- Disable/uninstall anything you doun't use from Android's app manager

- Xposed Boot Manager to disable apps from starting

- ES Task Manager to prevent background caching

- Archidroid 1.7.18 + latest ArchiKernel

- Zram disabled
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Happy New Year to everyone :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leonov:
Thank you

Thank you , also we wish you all the best, and further development of the ROM :good:

any updates for this awesome rom? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyups:
[MENTION=5432718]SkywalkerZ[/MENTION] Thank you for great ROM, Did it stop developing or? It's the best Lite Kitkat ROM I've ever used. Really it doesn't have any lag like any other S5 or Note 4 Roms
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nedalnib:
Hello everybody. I'm very happy with version V9. Today I tried version 1.3 KitKat of this ROM. But I can't restored any of my applications using Helium Backup (Carbon). Ofcourse full vipe. I tried 2 times (always full vipe and clear reinstallation) and still the same issue. Still error in Helium during restore.

Finally I am back on version V9. But I would ask if anybody else has troubles with Helium backup on this rom?

second thing, how to enable call recording???

[Galaxy S III Android Development] caloyskii23:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Android-Banjarmasin:
Boeffla Kernel 6.9 of course

[Galaxy S III Android Development] damian1711:
this ROM is typical average port- interface speed with stutterings, download and install from google play is taking long time and impacting phone performance a lot + CPU heat quite a lot.

best KK port so far is:

I don't know how this guy who barely speak english did that but it's super fast! make your judgement.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Geo_Tech:
First of this ROM is 3 Years old and EOL, second even with the OP not around you dont go in his ROM thread and talk about another ROM that by your opinion is better, have some respect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
I will be updating this rom very soon. I shall be rebasing it to the lastest QS base.

It has been over a year since i did anything on XDA so i am a bit rusty. Anyway i shall begin working on the new rom from next week.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fixo:
Does this rom has the poor Ram Managment? Like QS 4.4.2 has?

Ram gets full very quickly till phone gets unusable...

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

I Share the same opinion...

Anyway i like the QS one if it wasnt for the RAM getting full so quick...

I would like to see that issue solved once for all...

QS was my favourite port.

Atila is what im using now... it just works but i will try this one too once it gets out.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
with light usage i usually have 400 mb free ram(1-2 apps)

with 5-7 apps i have 300 mb free space
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fixo:
Yeah... at the beginning it behaves good but with time it starts to oversaturate the RAM... and this doenst happen with 4.4.4...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:

Fast & Stable & Lite

Economic Ram & Battery

Thanks Devs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] konohanz:
I have tried all the rom available for GT-I9300 in XDA, and latest v2 IMO is absolutely the best rom for SAMSUNG variant besides from CM, highly recommended for someone who looks for stability, performance and battery life. I will keep test this rom for a couple weeks and lets see what happens next, thanks a lot [MENTION=5432718]SkywalkerZ[/MENTION]. Congratulations for an awesome rom :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
1 entire day passed and no actual complains.

Feelsgoodman
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:
This rom *DESERVERS* this and I am also using this rom now switched from cm with full wipe and no bugs till now just some times some games lags otherwise it's awesome
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xela1989:
The rom is really valid. Only two things do not fit me:

1) the first is the release. It practically does not appear unlocking with ruffle effect or other. It comes out as if I had not set anything.

2) calls! I pretty much close by themselves. Every time I try to make it a, this thing happen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Ill try doing something about the lag :D

1. What? Ripple effect works just that it doesnt have ink effect added to.

2. Calls suddenly stops in between? I was on a 30 min call today and no issues what so ever.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] w9999:
[MENTION=5432718]SkywalkerZ[/MENTION] .its good idea if this rom based on Atila rom 4.4.4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
For now i just want to make full use of the 4.4.2 base. In future if i see some huge performance differences between 4.4.4 and 4.4.2, i will then change the base.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Few new features that have been added for better user experience and will be coming out in the next version

Disabled Haptic Feedback on First Boot

Disabled Lock Screen Sound on First boot

Enabled Developer Options On Boot (automatically)

New 0.25x animation scales have been added in Developer Options. This new transition Option is now supported on every language. (Took me an hour to do)

Animations set to 0.25x by default on first boot. ( lower value means better performance and better battery life)

Tapping Clock once in Status Bar turns off the screen

Long Pressing Clock in status bar OR Swiping Down from Clock in status bar opens power menu.( i added this because my power button broke recently)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Next Update is BIG guys :D

Aroma functionality is increasing day by day and so are the features that this rom has to offer :D

For now show some love and smash that button.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kunal1540:
Hey skywalkerz I have installed the newest update but I am unable to install viper4android (all apks including 2.3.3.0,2.3.4.0,2.4.0.1)on the phone

It says that you don't have busybox installed or your device is not rooted.

I have installed all the busybox available on play store and rebooted after every installation of busybox just to be sure but with no success.

Does anyone else have this??

One more thing flashlight doesn't work.

Not from the widget nor from the settings.. Is there any other way of turning it on..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Currently fixing this issue

EDIT: I think there is something wrong with the App itself. Is it working on other 4.4.2 roms?

This rom is rooted and has busybox installed

Enable it in settings. Turn screen off and hold volume up button. Its clearly stated there.

It works for me.

Edit: It worked for me in v2 (which i tested 8 days ago) and it works in v3(just checked)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jesterfin:
Why doesn't my wifi work even when I flashed archi's mk6 modem? It didn't work after I flashed the rom too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Wifi has nothing to do with modem. Its the kernel!

Flash agni kernel found in i9300 Original Android development section or flash the stock kernel which i will post soon!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] srv.abhishek:
it could be an issue with the superSU..try using an older version of stable superU instead of BETA
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jesterfin:
Thanks for the reply. I haven't had any issues with boeffla before but I might try again with the agni kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
From the past 2 days the development was on halt as i managed to break my laptop charger. Today i got a new one and so development has already begun.

I have managed to modify our samsung camera to run on 240 DPI today. (Yes next version v3 will hopefully support 240 DPI)

And v4 will support 280 DPI(Hopefully)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Successfully managed to implement true 240 DPI ( without using xposed) in the rom. The size of the rom has gone up but its to be expected due to the modded apks.

Now testing stuff out. If all goes well it will be out in 2 days time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lucas09pl:
Hello. I performed clean install of this ROM and I have 3 problems so far.

The navbar keys (soft keys) which can be installed via aroma installer are not working (they dont show up)

Camera is not working, black screen.

Google Services needs to be installed seperately because these included in ROM are not connecting to google services

I got FC of music app or in settings when I'm trying to change custom song for incoming calls etc.

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
The navbar not being deployed has been fixed but its experimental.

Camera not working due to a custom kernel originally being installed is a known old issue. Fix is to flash stock kernel>open camera>flash any kernel you want

I really need to check about google services as i am not facing tha issue. As i said before to another user i made sure the lastest version of google services were being installed( for me it does install the latest and for most other users)

I cannot reproduce that fc, any one else having a problem changing songs?

Could you run a logcat app before changing song and let it run till the fc occurs and post it here?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
CHangelog v3

The time has come for you guys see whats new in the next version. Here it is :

Animations set to 0.25x by default on first boot. ( lower value means better performance and better battery life)

Tapping Clock once in Status Bar turns off the screen

Long Pressing Clock in status bar OR Swiping Down from Clock in status bar opens power menu.( i added this because my power button broke recently)

To patch the stagefright vulnerability for 4.4.2, just open the settings menu found in the stock messaging app and disable auto-retrieve for MMS. Fore more info http://www.androidcentral.com/list-devices-stagefright-patches

If you cant access gallery from the camera app when using 240 DPI, take a picture and then you can access gallery from the camera app (Bottom right corner.That small thumbnail.)

--------------------------------------------

If there are any FC's in v2, post a log cat here and ill see what i can do!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nusko_x:
Can you add few screenshots of V3 ? Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Remember guys when you chose 240 DPI, Core samsung apps have been modded so that they dont look weird in PORTRAIT MODE ONLY. If you switch on rotation dialer, calculator and keyboard will look weird.

I will add screenshots tmrw in the OP for 240 DPI :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ~DemonLord~:
I remember your and ricky's 4.3 based s5 themed roms for almost 2 years back. Those were some great times. Really happy to see you back :D

Also given the V3 changelog, has it been uploaded yet?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Yes those were some good times

Rom will come out tmrw as i am trying to properly align the keyboard in 240 DPI also need to optimize some widgets for 240 DPI.

Also for those having problems with V4A not being able to install the driver, it has been fixed in v3 !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Screenshots for 240 DPI can be found

HERE
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Anyone is interested in a 4.3 update? I know i had promised a v10 update (based on 4.3) one year ago but never made one. Now that i have time, is anyone interested?

Oh and v3 Kitkat is almost ready. It will be uploaded at midnight (+8 GMT).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george_shudi:
Yes mate, Also it would be awesome if u make 4.4.4 Note5,S7 Features Rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shafi307:
Of course. ..I think the 4.3 based v9 is the best stable and bettery friendly rom..I think you should update it

Thanks for the amazing rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nusko_x:
+ 1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ~DemonLord~:
I doubt 4.3 holds any benefits over kitkat except perhaps better stability.

Also I think s7/note5 stuff us quite heavy on ram, maybe as it is designed for a much higher resolution, so adding those(as suggested by some) might not be desirable over lets say a similar theme. Im up for keeping it simple tbh. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
V3 is now live

Download Here

Releasing v3 early. Didnt want to keep you guys waiting for too long.

Also post your feedbacks for this version. I recommend full wipe for this version as well due to alot of new mods being added.!

Also note that the stock animation scale(in developer option) is set to 0.25x by default by me. If you think this animation speed is too fast, only then can change it in developer option (which is also enabled by default). Because 0.25x isnt supported natively in touchwiz roms, if you try to go back to 0.25x animation (after changing it you want to go back to 0.25x again), it will not work. You will have to reflash the rom again if you want it to work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
This rom will never have ported apps in it so dont worry :D.

THis project has an aim which is to keep it stock, simple, fast and light

BUT , the Revolutionary S5 rom(which uses this rom as a base) can be updated with these features when i get time.

Right now i have so many pending projects. From the past 2 weeks i have kept this ROM as my top priority but now i need to do stuff for other devices so an update to RS5 rom will take ALOT of time. Also i wont promise but ill try!
