Impossible, ArchiDroid app is only a frontend to a part of ArchiDroid's backend.

However, I can't see a reason to not use ArchiDroid. It's not a typical all-in-one ROM, you have aroma and it's up to you what you want. You can even untick all options and get pure CM with it.

Don't judge battery before at least two charges after flashing.

Hey [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] is there a way to make Grand Theft Auto San Andreas show up in the playstore under 2.3.4?

Im guessing it's a DPI thing so I guess I'm asking if there's a way to change the DPI without having to reflash the rom?

Missing quick setting icons in notification panel

Hello everyone

I have searched all throughout the forums and it seems like I am the only one who has this problem - hopefully someone can give some guidance on this.

First and foremost, thank you ArchiDroid for the good work!

I've recently flashed ArchiDroid V1.7.16 onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the S5 theme - everything else is as per recommended by the installer at time of flashing.

The ROM itself works perfectly, fast stable and smooth. The only thing is my quick setting icons (situated at the top of the pull down notification panel) is missing. Upon installation, at first pass, the icons are there, but maybe an hour or two later, it disappears. I've tried reflashing the ROM 3 times to test it, and every single time it appears at first pass, and then disappears! On my 3rd test, I've left the phone as is and yet the icons still disappear - i think i have ruled out any conflicting actions on my part.

When I go into settings > display > Notification panel, there is supposed to be quick setting icons situated there where I can re-order them.

In the spot where the icons are supposed to be, it is just a blank space.

Any ideas what is happening? Or what I am doing to 'delete' these quick setting icons?

Thank you very much guys!:)

Advice

I am a novice user and I have just flashed AD V2.5. Great ROM, very clear installation guide. All I can say is superb work Archi . For me this ROM feels super fast compared to stock 4.3, no lags what so ever. Can confirm the CM bug on 2nd video recording . Have not tried pairing my bluetooth, so will let you know if there is a problem.

Coming from stock, could someone suggest how do I do the following

1. Can I increase the Icon sizes as they are bit small for my taste

2. How do I change the kernel to other ones offered during installation (I am sure there is a guide but can't find it, sorry)

3. I was not able to restore from back up made on Holo (as I understand it will be possible only with the same ROM and I have not backed up individual apps. So can't even remember which apps I had). Will re-installing a stock ROM such as Sammobile, a) will I be able to restore all the things from my previous backups either using Holo or Kies, b) can I use TB to back up appdata (esp. games). Then if I re-install AD 2.5 will I be able to restore those App data? Do I need to do a nandroid backup before stock ROM installation?

Sorry for these questions (which may have been answered elsewhere), but have spend more than 2 weeks reading XDA forum to get my head around before flashing a custom ROM and still not managed to solve backup and restore.

1. Sure. Just reflash AD without making any wipes - installator will detect you're running AD & won't erase any your current data.

3. a) You should.

b) You can & after reinstall you should be able to restore these apps.

About nandroid backup thing - it's always worth performing in case you will mess something up with your device in future.

Did you perform kernel change in a proper way? I mean, after running boeffla you:

1) just flashed over it AD kernel,

2) reflashed rom with changing kernel in aroma?

In case 1) you probably have the cullprit.

First of all i would like to thank [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] for this epic rom. I've been silently following your roms for a while now and decided to use Archidroid 1.7.16 as this is my first custom rom to install on my great S3 that i got for 2 years now, and i have to say it has brought it back to life from the unbearable lag of stock rom that has become after all this time.

Installation was better than smooth and easy as it gets (except that i installed older version of philz and was bootlooping till i realised it, finding the latest .tar.md5 file was the only tricky part as they werent ordered chronoligialcly or numerically, and loading previous nova launcher settings before it updated to 3.0.1 gave me endless FC and had to reinstall, those were both my bad) and TB restored everything and now all is better than ever.

I would only like to ask one thing as i searched this thread and others and couldnt find something similar being asked about the camera (dont worry its working perfectly no problems there)

I always used the s-voice commands for capturing with my camera and now its sadly disabled (all sammy bloat being gone) and i'd like to ask how can i enable it back? If i install the full bloat zip file it works but is there a way to only install the required apps, as i dont want anything else from sammy stuff, like pulling them with TB or something (excuse my noobness).

It doesn't exist anymore, you should consider looking for some third party apps containing HDR mode.

As above - only by installing third party apps from PlayStore you can achieve this sammy-stock feature. F.e.:
