The ROM is really fast.

RAM usage is still a little heavy tho, 500mb with all aps closed, compared to 4.1.2 which is 350mb.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
I have 470 Mb free all apps closed

U want to make ur own rom?many guides on xda to do that?

I've flashed 2 type of S4/Note2 keyboard for 4.3 and they was crashed and crashed and crashed :( :( Any Solution? (Sorry for english)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Sorry if the answer to my question was postet already but I hope you guys can tell me which kernel I should use with this ROM :

Stock Kernel or Boeffla 5.2 ?

@ Skywalker :

Until now ROM is going very smooth, I prefer it over the "S5 roms" here on xda. Of course stock design is a little bit bad like f.ex. onle 4*4 grid.

But I really need some free RAM for a little bit of multitasking. Until now this is the best 4.3 Samsung ROM for my preferences ! Thank you very much for that, maybe v4 of your Revolutionary S5 becomes more RAM friendly, too.

@ all :

This ROM is RAM friendly like CM, very very smooth and I think Skywalker and ricky fixed all possible bugs :D

As I was asking I'm not sure about switching to Boeffla kernel for maybe an even better performance and lower battery drain ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Wel i dirty flashed over v7, all apps where still there after the install, but i needed them all to reconfigure (re-enter data/login/pw)

Had to place everything back on my screens (widgets/folders/shortcuts)

Lost APN settings and samsung account,

Cause i had time i figured, what the hell, i just do a fully clean install and re_install just what i need again and start fresh over

Flashing a Note3 keyboard for S3 FC the keyboard app and makes the rom slow as hell (worked fine on v7), had to reflash v8 again and start over.

I do miss a good Keyboard with Emoticon support on it :/

Google apps don't synch. have to install my apps manually again after setting up google account

Still messing around with it :D So far it's light and fast!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] athankar75:
I want to test this rom, now i'm on archidroid 4.3. Is there any way to make it look cm- aosp like?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Install CM11? ;)

or

You can always use a KitKat style launcher with KitKat style icons and background :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] athankar75:
Thanks but i mean something deeper.I have total aosp look now on archidroid and i believe it is excellent rom, but i think free ram it's low compared what i read here...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] b0unty:
same here dirty flash was not a perfect way, i also done a full clean install to test (seems to be fast as well)

i reinstalled V7 backup for the moment (no time to reconfigure all)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
I'm just done with reïnstalling everything i need and putting back my data from the apps with titanium backup (only data from some apps)

All works fine, now just getting back my used layout in touchwiz with widgets and shortcuts :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] b0unty:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
So far this rom is awesome, Speedy and damned good!

I use it with Yank555 Kernel v4.2

I had a few issues with e-mail but that was caused by myself with putting my data back from a backup,

Just pitty i can't install a Note2/3 keyboard with the extra numbers row. it FC after that and i have to put back my nandroid backup i took before trying :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
My insidet told me that damsung always have a new updated base

When the changelist is lower and built date newer..it means that they had reverted some issues/code that were there before for the good of the base

Google syncs fine here?

if u mean calender then flash samsung calender from bloat

It Automatically backedup and restored all apps

now what u had to do is restore the data with TB

that was the whole point :)

It works for me?

ok guys, if I think I will take down v8 soon if some more complain and upload a version with some bug fixes :/

[Galaxy S III Android Development] redstreetwalker:
Rom is great and smooth as butter but i have a problem. Android.process.acore crashes randomly when im using my device. And also google sync gives error too.

I did some data erasing on services framework etc. but no luck. What's the problem that can be?

edit: did a quick inspection and google contacts sync is the reason of the crash. When it's syncing android.process.acore stops.

I've made a clean V8 full re-install.

it work smooth, fast and great

no google sync. problems and no others problems detected until now ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skyelm:
The Whatsapp problem can be seen by checking Google sync error problem. This will cause android. Process.acore force close which sometimes its so fast you don't notice it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Still working great, froze additional stuff and it's even better!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
What did you freeze in this small ROM ?

I only saw some "SMS Services" which are very very useless :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Just had a quick look, may have missed some but basically

All Samsung Apps

Allshare*

Use APEX instead of TW

Rename 2xNFC APK's

Bluetooth TEST

CapabilityManager Service

Cloud Agent

DirectConnectManager

Flashbarservice

DirectShareManager

All fonts

Enterprise*

Factory Mode

Factory Test

MultiMedia ui service layer

Nearby devices

Self Test Mode

remote control*

secwallpaper*

smartcard services

Service Mode

Shareshot service/Best SHot etc

Wifi direct

Rename KIESEXE

Remove Sim tool kit

Sim Card ToolKit

Setup Wizard

Switch autostart off for many apps,

use custom GPS.Conf

Use boeffla kernel

Use exposed/wanam

Its pretty awesome!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Ok, I have to leave some apps because I use for example Samsung S Planner and I want to leave TW.

On this ROM it's really fast, I'm very excited about the speed !

What about your kernel ? Did you change it to Boeffla or do you use the stock one ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Boeffla all the way, no zram, zzmove with yank battery extreme, row internal, sio external, no UV, very solid and fast, not to mention wicked audio

Don't forget greenify!

Oh, I do use s planner
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Now I only miss a working Note 3 Keyboard, Note 2 cams from xda seem working :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sleehond:
Great to see a new version!

Got running V7 for weeks now, very very good ROM.

So... curious to see V8...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Try Kii keyboard, its great, and you get a free trial, got the best bits from all keyboards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
I Noticed, the auto backup and restore, but i had in mind that it would preserve settings to.

I know i could do a TB restore with data (had it fully backupped with TB under v7 before updating

but i did choose to do a clean install after all this way i could clean up some stuff, less apps installed i never used while i was on v7

Like said, it's a great rom, compact, fast and still no FC, Battery life is great (i use Yank555 kernel) and smooth as butter

Best TW rom i ever used!

It would be nice to see a way to get note3 keyboard working on it ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tovagulet:
I really love this ROM.

Used V7 and then changed to V8 but I had problems with Whatsapp. It kept force closing. I did a full clean install and apparently others had the same problem. Can you or anyone a way to fix this? I tried as suggested by other user to Copy the SecCalendar.apk to /system/app but that didn't work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
I will see to it that I add n2/3 keyboard in next version if only it doesnt affect the ram consumption

And for whats app issue hrre is what our fellow followrr did

User malakka on xda forums posted a fix that I can confirm it is working

1 . Force stop whatsapp, clear data, cache, and uninstall whatsapp

2. Clear cache and data for contacts, contacts storage, and Google contacts sync.

3. Reboot into recovery

4. Clear dalvik cache

5. Reinstall whatsapp, I chose do not restore messages.

Works fine now.. Finally!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gian90marco:
Keep samsung camera, please
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Is it worth changing this ROM to a Google setup ?

I really like v8 with the stock Samsung look, TW launcher and some Samsung apps I use. The speed is already very very good and I hope for updates without changing the look :fingers-crossed:

Otherwise I only can choose between, compared to this ROM slow and RAM hungry Samsung ROMs, or more or less buggy and battery hungry CM Roms :(

What about your opinion guys ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Agreed, this is the lightest, fastest ROM out there. You still get the option to change the look using a different launcher/Xposed framework if you so wish. This is a lightweight, robust, speedy version with lots of free ram that offers everything I need and greatly helps to address the 1GB RAM bottleneck. I really hope this continues until I find a phone that is worth upgrading to (Oppo Find 7 looking favourite at the moment). Never encountered any problems with this ROM, and can't see any reason to change it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Mom, pass me some tissue as i need to cry :')

I have made the rom even smaller now. less libs , much smoother rom but i might need to add back few apks to fix setup issues !

I wanna release the slimmest and fastest rom out there!

I might ened up adding small aroma package to the rom as well!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
If only the device have had 2GB of RAM :(

But your doing a great work that we could experience some smooth multitasking on our S3 1GB :D

As you're going to release v9 I have only one little wish :

Please look out for a low battery drain in standby :)

Or probably it's only me having up to 5% loose in standby with boeffla ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Braintwist:
No drain here. Outstanding battery life...:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Do you use the Boeffla kernel, too ? In fact battery drain is ok, I reach a good screen-on time, but I loose to much battery, when not using the device.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Braintwist:
Yes, Boeffla with Zzmove/ extreme battery yank. But no drain in sleep.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
Ok, I'll switch to that setting and I think all is going to be perfect :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Braintwist:
I am using the new test kernel. And maybe an Boeffla app reset helps..;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] miodzio77:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Braintwist:
All fine here. Maybe you should try again a clean install?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skyelm:
you have to install the S5 Pack when installing the S5 TouchWiz. that pack contains the secwallpaper apk and other stuff for S5 Touchwiz.

tell us more please ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dark'em:
Great idea!

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

A hybrid rom usually means a stock rom combinned with aosp/cm, in this case a rom that is halfway touchwizz and halfway cm
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gekko300:
I must say it seems I finally have found the ROM for me. A lightweight Samsung ROM without all the slowness and bloat from the normal Samsung distribution. I have been down the road of AOSP/CM etc, and all those ROMs, without exception, contain bugs and/or quirks making the daily use not optimal.

It's not for me to say, but given that you ask our opinion, I would say NO, don't make this ROM into a hybrid. Keep it as a lightweight stock ROM. Let the others fiddle with AOSP and such.

Either way, I will make backups of the installation files for this ROM. I think I will stay on it for a while. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quaker1985:
please keep stock samsung camera and gallery.

and black aosp theme will look awesome.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Guys dont worry. I wont make this a hybrid rom. I may make a new thread in future for the hybrid rom!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] King-Chris111:
That seems a good idea, but in my opinion this ROM will be and remain the best one, because here there aren't really bugs ! Only a few smoother, a bit more RAM and there is nothing more to become better :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Handeman707:
Which cpu speed you use? 1400mhz?

*****Anouncement*****​

Andi( Dev of Boeffla) still has not given me approval and I Do Not take other peoples work Without Permission and therefore this release will be with liteGX ​

EDIT: If Andi responds to the PM in 5-6 hrs than i will add Boeffla(In my opinion works best with this rom) or else this will be the last build with GX as i think Boefla is much more smooth with my rom .My Mind is now set. I thought alot for the betterment of this rom and for the users So please Co operate . Again if you think it doesnt suit you then by all means flash any kernel U like .Thank You. Worked really hard for this build ( and also learnt new mods and tweaks) so please understand and dont give up on me. I will add different settings in OP for 3 tasks Performance, Moderate, Batterysaver later

But thanks again AndroidGX for letting me start this thread by using you kernel..really appreciate it ..Thanks
