[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GambitK:
I did a lot more testing with tethering.

The problem was that for some reason if I have another tethering app installed, tethering will not work. For example, I use Wifi Tether "http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/" for my tethering needs.

So, when Wifi Tether is installed on the device neither this app or the default tethering app work. The client sees the AP name but can't connect to Wifi Tether and the devices default tether connects but doesn't transmit data or is not found by the client. If I uninstall Wifi Tether and reboot the phone the default tethering works as intended.

I only use Wifi Tether because of the functionality of MAC spoofing, I use it to turn my phone into a hotspot for my 3ds for street passing people from around the world. That's why I don't simply stick with the default one.

Any help on how to solve this?

Ad Blocking Exception.

Hi.

I would like to add an exception for *feedsportal* to the ad blocking. Can anyone help me?

So far I have read the first page.

Downloaded adaway and pointed it to both (/system/archidroid/etc/hosts_adaway) and /system/archidroid/etc/hosts_adaway because I wasn't sure if the brackets were needed. Adaway was unable to write to the host file.

Unlocked the host file, Rebooted and tried Adaway again. Same result. So I have relocked the host file.

Searched the thread.

Appreciate a push in the right direction please. I'm not an advanced user but not a dummy either.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiff773:
hi. is there a way to fix this without flashing experimental? thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Then you pointed it wrong because hosts_adaway file doesn't require any special permissions apart from making system r/w.

Also I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, this won't help you. You need to edit /system/archidroid/etc/hosts, find your rule and delete it.

No.

Hey Archi or anyone else who can help. With the last exp build I am unable to get adblock or haveged to work properly. I've tried all the tricks suggested in the thread to no avail. Runonce finishes fine. The only thing I noticed in Init is this line in the log which must be the culprit.

Ok i bring my questions to the Q&A thread.

1. What is the stock AOSP font name? I want to download it and install it on archi 1.7.11 sammy rom. I ask because Arabic font was good in aosp roms, but it is very small here.

2. In gravity box xposed module, do the quick settings mods work on the rom? because I see no change when I play with them.

3. The reason im asking #2 is because im trying to find a way for a 2g/3g toggle. I found this but it is for stock 4.1.2 roms, i dont know if it can be ported somehow by some dev in his free time.

Cheers archidroid users!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
1. Fonts in .ttf formats are not modified, neither removed so I highly doubt that you got other results on other sammy roms.

2. No, the whole gravity box is one big experimental module, with no support for touchwiz at all. You should use wanam xposed where possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayoubij:
Thanks for your reply but does that mean the AOSP default font wont work on the Sammy rom ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senior_Limpio:
I seem to have fixed the socket problem, but AdBlock is still not working as it should. I can get rid of the adds but only with the use of Minminguard. Which doesn't get rid of all of them.

Not a great concern but I'd like to figure out why or if anyone else is experiencing this.

Questions

I've been liking a lot ArchiDroid, it's very clean and has great usability, I do have a couple of questions:

1) Will ArchiDroid have the ability of recording calls? When I make/receive a call the record button is not shown.

2) I installed ArchiDroid with 240dpi and love the fact that more information is displayed on the screen, I'm using TouchWiz launcher and there's only 4 icons per row, if I want 5 per row do I need to change the launcher? Or can it be done with TouchWiz? If there's the need to change the launcher, can I do it without having to flash the rom installer again?

Thank you, great rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skodaslx:
I flashed the 1.7.11 with 240 dpi. If I want to change now to another value, do I have to flash again or can I change the build.prop? I saw the # in the build.prop line.

I'd reflash AD. Of course, without any wipes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
1. You have such option already. I won't implement automatic call recording, as it's illegal in most countries. If you want to record a call, option is already available.

2. TouchWiz works only with 320 DPI, same goes with other Samsung apps such as dialer. ArchiDroid uses a little "hack" - it applies your custom DPI to every app which supports it, and 320 to the rest. DPI change doesn't affect touchwiz.

Finally I did, Update mode succeeded :D. Last I reported that update from 1.7.9 --> 1.7.10 failed for me, I re-flashed with mega wipe including format internal card.

This time from 1.7.10 --> 1.7.11 it succeeded.

In case anyone interested to know below are my steps

1. download zip file through update me app to internal card (last time I moved it to external card), this time I kept it in internal

2. flash zip file with same settings I had but when a choice between force update / regular update, I chose NO force update

3. after boot, checked that everything is OK and re-flashed bloat-ware so all sound and custom apps are restored.

that it all, the ROM is perfect so far like 1.7.10, enjoying it every day, I mean the stability the performance, the ability to listen to music without jittering and lagging. Most of all finally work fast with multiple apps e.g Hangout, Gmail, dolphin browser without any delays

Hi there.

I've been using Ad 1.7.X Roms since last 5 or 6 versions. I was very happy with performance and battery life, but since version 1.7.10 I've had an annoying problem. I'd like to share it just for if it is useful for someone with the same problem or even for JustArchi.

So, occasionaly, my phone gets freeze. Sometimes it happens when performing several tasks (navigation + expand notifications + toggle qs), but sometimes it happens only writing a message. Games runs fine without any issue. I've been analyzing cpu usage (with 'show cpu usage' option), but I'm not an expert and only conclusion is that freeze moments match with cpu usage increase (often 'system_server' process).

With last version I've tried several combinations. I've flashed it always with full wipe. Then I've tried Boeffla kernel and stock kernel with different themes. Finally, I've change kernel governor to pegasusqplus, and it seems to have a better behavior, but not like previous versions.

So questions are: Am I doing something wrong? Have anything changed that could be the origin of this problem? Am I doing right changing kernel governor or is it just a workaround hiding true problem?

Thanks

Maybe you have same problem that i had few weeks ago. Search xda for s3 freezing thread. There is an app you need to download, dummy generator. Format your phone.

It may take long each run may take up to an hour sometimes, but trust me it will fix the freezing problem

Adblock issue

Hello. I am using the latest Archi 1.x version (1.7.10 i believe) and I am having problems with the included Adblock backend, namely, it's showing me ads on pages where Adaway didn't. Looking at the new Archidroid Control app it seems my adblock is set to use the Adaway hosts which probably means it should block the same hosts. However, as an example, on Slashdot, I am seeing all the ads with Archi.

I can't use adaway anymore either since /etc/hosts is set to immutable by Archidroid.

Is there anything else that needs to be done to activate ad blocking?

First of all thanks for the great rom, judging from WHAT you changed, this one seems to be a long term thing. Said that being on 2.x...

First question about kitkat call app, is there any way to let the numpad show up by default? Keyboard takes ages and the additional button press is annoying, coming from a jellybean Samsung Rom. Everything is fast even the nunpad, but would love to get rid of extra button press.

Second question about the screen off animation, how to disable it completely? Found option to change, but no none option available there.

BTW to all mates having doubt about ART, it's the fastest and most battery friendly option Android has ever offered, do not want to miss that ever again! Judging from the docs, it's just natural evolution in terms of Java as a base language for Android. All about JIT compilation, the one thing which keeps one billion devices from running as fast as they could (should) :)
