Hi together.

Is it possible to remove the rotation in launcher, without flashing the whole ROM again?

Regards

Putti71
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
sorry then.. i dunno..

yes.. run the zip again and make sure you choose bloatware at first menu.. it will give you the chance of change mods one by one... ;)

I have to admit that I was eager to try Rickys and Skywalkerz S5 Revolution ROM, because there was such a big hype about it, but I am very glad to be back on Echo! This is in my opinion the smoothest TW ROM experience for S3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RickEphraims:
I've been going forwards and backwards looking for a rom that is smooth and has a great battery life.

Keep coming back here as it is great with bouffla 5.2 and MK6 modem

i switched to another kernel but still same problem to flash blue theme mod. Mostly all roms supported except this echoe rom. Plz give the exact solution,specially request to developer...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] diego88it:
Perfect rom...but i have a problem..the camera fc...how i can solve it?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Link me the theme.. i can take a look at it later.. no hipes tho...

Flash the stock kernel, open the camera, flash again the custom you like.. ;) ciao

Hello.

I installed the room full wipe and I would like to report a couple of issues I faced. The magazine fc occasionally, no weather widget (was expecting the s5) . Instagram fc. Will keep on testing. In the meanwhile I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Well yes the my magazine issue is related to the launcher you are using (note 3 one i desume,wich installs also the my magazine that has some random and few Fc ) same goes for widget.. Did you pick the choice to install them in bloat apps? There isn't the s5 tho.. Was too early when we builded :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STeReo21:
how can i remove blockk and home button from status bar ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Run the zip of the rom again and in aroma choose bloat installer.. this will give you the option to flash a single systemUI , not the whole rom, without any mod on top but you can keep quickpanel 6 toogles and og or remove them as you like ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooljay5:
I have installed this ROM by performing a clean install using philz latest recovery. After booting up, the phone stays in the boot logo for more than 15 mins. so, I restored my nandroid backup. Not sure, why this happened... any suggestions mates? I was on neatromv7.4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Have you checked tje md5 of the file? Could be a bad download..

Else have you wiped data also?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooljay5:
I have wiped data from within Aroma. I checked the md5, it's correct, bad download files will not start at all, I had experience with bad downloads with neatrom, when I tried to install the badly downloaded file, the aroma will not start at all and the installation will be aborted.

should i try without wiping data in aroma?, If yes, I will try it @ home and will post results tonight... Thanks mate...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Well yes, that should be the usual, but i have seen the wiredest thing happening so if you didn' t check md5 with a programm i would..

For the rest.. i actually dunno what to suggest you.. maybe use another kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooljay5:
Thanks Mate,

I selected boeffla in aroma... I will try with stock and will let you know on how it went.. Also, this ROM has the touchwiz, green color stock battery icon right? I also saw the battery mod from the screenshot in OP....

I will try reinstalling this tonight and will let you know, since this is my personal phone and I don't want to keep my phone unusable till I reach home...:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
ok that' s fine... you can anyway restore a backup, but i don' t want to push you :D i guess we can wait untill tonight to see how it goes lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STeReo21:
i solve it , thanks , but now , i dont have ,when i connect headphones that tab for music ,and i dont have music player ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
You have probably missed the bloat apps like pagebuddy and misic player... (yeah i consider those bloat because i use another player and because pagebuddy is always running in bg :) )

So simply run the zip in recovery and choose bloat installer.. you'll be able to flash only the app you need instead of the whole rom again ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STeReo21:
i run bload , i found samsung music i thing , and page puddy ... after i didnt found music player,and page buddy doesnt work ..:(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
There are 2 music app in bloat.. one is google play music the other is musicplayer.. I just made an attempt to see and worked proply
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STeReo21:
i use recovery zip 5times to install samsung music .. doesnt work for me , and cant change launcher ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Make a check inside system/app with a root browser.. you have 2 launcher there.. just delete the one you don' t want.. seclauncher4 is the note one , launcher2 is the s3 one.. and can you please check if the music app is there inside the folder at least?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] wolfy1664:
hello

can some one please help iv flashed this rom and a stranded kernel:crying: but it will not boot
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STeReo21:
i solved the launcher problem , now with music i found : MMAppFramework (with apollo icon) ..but i dont see icon in phone.the app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Move this app to system/app with a root browser and set permission to 0644 (rw-r--r--) and reboot

Edit:

Sorry!! I noticed now that i forgot the link.. soo sorry :)

A question: if i choose the stock kernel my phone don't pass the initial screen where there is the model name written..

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Yep... there is a problem is stock kernel.. it got somehow corrupted..

Here is the link to the correct stock for v6

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vimbizukrsxzylz/S3_stock_kernel_v6_nb6.zip

Sorry for delay and happy easter :D ciao
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooljay5:
Thanks Mate,

So, We need to flash this stock kernel after flashing the rom from aroma before rebooting right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
flash it at any point after the rom is installed, and you'll be fine. you can choose a non-stock kernel too, and then flash this after.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nikosdd:
Phone works correct(except camera) with agni and boeffla kernel,but in stock kernel it doesnt even boot :(

Edit : Noticed that if i install boeffla kernel from official site,everything works great.Even camera app!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jaggythistle:
Now im going to have Echo on my s3, s5 & Note 3 does life get any better? Thanks for another amazing rom guys.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
yes. you're missing the s4.

i'll swap you one of my S4's for your S5, and then we can both be happy!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jaggythistle:
If I had a spare one I most likely would I collect the Samsung models and the s4 I just refused to buy because I was so disappointed with it but I still need it :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
i got super lucky with a streak of 'broken' phones sold cheap, that only needed minor repairs. stuff like removing pocket lint from microphone holes, and makeup from the ear piece. cant beleive in a year i went from owning an iphone 5 to this collection... its fungasmic, and the android community is so much better than the apple community.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] woolsley:
i had flashed this but it keep hanging in the samsung logo...

and than i remember that i must choose another kernel and not the stock one during flashing

what was it now flashing the rom and than with boefla kernel and flashing the call button zip am i right??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] putti71:
Need some help here guys. I cannot add Facebook account to accounts.

Why? Or am I the only one?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Access from facebook app and you should be fine..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] putti71:
I can get into Facebook, that's not the problem. But I like to get the notifications in Splanner, therefore the account is needed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
I don' t have a facebook account by now since i closdd mine 1 year ago.. plus i am testing the new base ( but don' t tell the other lol ;) ) so i can' t effectively test it... but looks like it works from both in setting/account, facebook account and sync account with apps..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] putti71:
Maybe I deleted one file from system too much :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Do you have Sns apk in system/app??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] putti71:
I just checked it and no its not there.

Could you be so kind and give it to me? Over Dropbox or something?

Nevermind I just found it with Dr Google.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Good!! Sorry i'm back at work so i can' t check notification always :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
i think that app is called SNS
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avikrick:
any updates coming up???:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
please dont ask for updates. its rude.

updates happen when samsung releases an update - so until that happens, be patient.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Dear Community,

I'm coming with bunch of news from this night (in terms of my time zone ofc.. :silly:). Well known here-and-there developers JustArchi & Kryten decided to cooperate together and started porting KitKat using various versions already presented by Samsung - I9300I, N2 and, the most similiar device, I9305 (which update should come in a few weeks I suppose). Well, till now it boots, some fixes need to be implemented but, the most crucial thing, the ideas for them exist!

The hope is mother of fools they said. I'd say rather it's mother of XDA. :highfive:

What's my purpose? Simple - I'd like just to inform you as I know how much all of us want to see stock KK on our 1GB-ram-only-outdated-device and invite you to follow/subscribe the thread:

ArchiPort [N700][KitKat][STOCK]

Along with works' status on their github: https://github.com/JustArchi/SGS3-KitKat-Port/commits/master

Maybe any of you would have some more ideas for this profejct? Go to thread and let them know! :)

Who on this planet wouldn't boot S3 with stock KK with warm feeling *samsung, you're no longer needed for me, XDA updates my phone on its own* :cool:

Regards,

Mr. Sherlock :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Hi, there, thanks for the work you've done--I'm really happy to see that this is available for the S3. Couple'a questions before I flash.

The OP seems to indicate that there's call/SMS blocking, from what I've read. Work ok? The reason I ask, I'm getting boucoups calls from "the other" carrier, and I'm tired of hanging up on them. What I've got now works flawlessly, I just get a notification in my notification drawer, no ring, no voice messages, and it allows me to block a range of numbers with wildcards.

Second, it seems the stock kernel seems to be borked. That's ok because I really like Yank's kernel for the great battery life and excellent sound I get from it. Has anyone tried this or know if it works with this ROM?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] teslax:
Flash or not?

Hi guys,

I would like to flash this rom on the phone of one my friend. But I can see many people here have just problems with this rom.

Should I flash this rom or not?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
go for it, theres no harm in trying. the only thing you might need to do, is use a different kernel than the one included in the rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
The only problem reported is about the stock kernel. Got corrupted somehow. That' s it. All the rest is working as supposed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mussels84:
and the echoe team is one of the most supportive you'll find around - if you have trouble, you'll actually get help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] teslax:
I know that the Echoe team is the best. Im using for my Note 3 Echoe ROM, the best possible ROM for this phone.

Which KERNEL should I flash for this Echoe ROM for i9300? Maybe you have the link for download?

Many thanks and cheers :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
I suggest you the agni one.. I really like it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anantharam:
Try Echoe Rom

I will list the pros and cons of this rom and leave that choice to you :cool:

PROS :

1) Stable as hell - I have been using echoe rom for past three months and there were zero random restarts.

2) Good community support - You can get reply for your support questions long before it becomes serious.

3) No Half Baked stuff - No flashy mods like Note3 ported camera or Smart scroll, which are buggy ,to say the least, in the other roms that i had tried and hence i am happy that they are not present here, if you are looking for those kinds of stuff, this rom is not for you.

CONS:

1) Not everything is debloated, even then you have the option to customize lots of stuff from aroma installer, and anyways if you really want to get rid of every app related to Samsung, you shouldn't be using a touchwiz based rom anyways.

2) Battery Drain - As with most of the roms based on touchwiz, this drains battery faster than any of the aosp or cyanogenmod based roms.I also notices some inconsistencies specific to this rom.

3)No Special Features - If you are looking for any special feature like SmartScroll which is not provided by the stock OEM rom, you would be disappointed.

Overall i would suggest you to give this rom a try before deciding if you wish to continue using it...

Hello, i've installted the Ultraslim ML4 Version and have a problem with the stock browser. Its not a part of the ultraslim version, so I've restored the browser with Titanium Backup. But now it is not possible to download any files. Do i have to install something else to make the downloads work?

And another question. Is it possible to get the app shortcuts in the status bar screen from the latest version to the ML4 Version?

all recoveries are fine i just recommend Philz because i find it better... But CWM will work just fine ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] friedrich420:

Unfortunately is the only bug the Nexus Camera and Gallery has (its like that for all the phones i added it). Its really minor thankfully because you can use the stock gallery for editing..

Thank you for noticing my good man!! :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] friedrich420:
It doesnt have those kind of magic powers i guarrantee you this...

It does not change your modem, it does not delete your modem, it does nothing to your modem...

There are no commands for this rom to touch your modem..

Sir in this rom is that working smart push and smart scrool?.kindly reply.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WithAria:
Swift Key

The swiftkey isnt sticking as the default keyboard. It goes back to the stock one. But TouchPal does.

Is it a prob with the swiftKey app itself? It was working fine in the MIUI rom i was using prior to Echoe, though it was based on 4.1.2 Jelly bean

EDIT:

From what i understand from this link is, there was an update to 4.3 for GS3 and that fixes the issue.

@OP: Mate, could you please include that update in the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] friedrich420:
Excellent find my friend!! :)\Unfortunately i already finished the update (someone didnt sleep much) ;) and its in upload process... Im just not saying anything today until its actually uploaded ;) ML2 base baby!! :)

Lets hope the SwiftKey Devs fixed it for the ML2 base... Unfortunately its not up to us but them updating their apps to be compatible with 4.3 (we have similar issues with app in the 4.4. Kit Kat for the S4...)

In the meantime, dont forget the Amazing

Echoe Creations App

which was just updated especially for the S3 with more mods and stock packages, and all the mods redone for the ML2 base!! :good::good::good:

Get it here:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sam77744:
sir pls reply
[Galaxy S III Android Development] friedrich420:

So i managed to convince my GF to install the rom (told you it would work ;) ). Running soooo smooth, and more important, she's so happy with it. Now we are one Echoenian family ;)

Whats ur baseband version/modem check in about phone

If it is not efs v2 supported(mg4 ) then u have to flash a modem which supports it according to your region..and then flash any 4.3 rom on your s3 including this..

P.S With efs v2 also u cn go back to any aosp rom or lower version of android of sammy rom..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
+1

i just didn' t thought about the modem itself..! And if you want do downgrade to older modem after, you just need to restore old efs folder as the new modem is going to change the efs and is no longer working with old modems

oh man! i just install v2. I come from tema v73 (modem v.1).

I have no modem now and is not rooted.

Why? If this rom doesnt touch modem, why there is no modem?

How i will root this rom now?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
For root just flash superSU V 1.86.. You can find it on chanifire blog..

For modem it's like said upper..

Just flash a new one..

if i flash a new modem v2, can i go if i want to original android back again?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wuby986:
Yes you can if you have an efs folder "old" i mean pulled before flashing a new modem that is going to change it.. In that case you have to flash the old modem and then restore the old efs folder..
