Dual boot

Hi,

Is there a way to dualboot from ArchiDroid? If not is it safe to do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2300288

ArchiDroid should be fully dualboot compatible.

Delete everything from /data/media APART FROM 0 folder.

Hi,

Is wifi tethering still broken on this and other 4.4 roms? I can't seem to find any recent information about this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podgorsek:
Thank you :) working great. Didn't knew that thing about rooting... but still, now i already have auto rooted, it couldn't hurt it right?

May I ask which launcher are you using? Which one do you perfer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zek.yuuki:
The "Media Storage" is malfunctioning causing music player / video player apps to not 'play' music. A quick workaround is to 'freeze' the "Media Storage" by using Titanium Backup, that lets you 'play' music from music player / video player apps, but it makes the Gallery App crash......... always.

Even when the "Media Storage" is not 'frozen', the Gallery App could not detect any other photos within the Internal Storage / SD Card, making it hard to preview what image you captured using the Camera App and making it tedious to post and upload photos with apps such as Facebook. I found a workaround where you had to locate the DCIM>Camera folder using the File Manager, and select the photos you want to upload, then tap the Menu and choose Send Selection>Facebook, or if you just want to preview the image, then tap on the photo and choose Gallery and select it as default, but everytime you want to view another photo, you have to press the "Back" button and it would display a message saying "the Gallery App has crashed" or something like that. If you want to view photos, then you need to install a 3rd party photo viewer app that does not depend on the media scanning or "Media Storage" unless this problem gets fixed.

Overall, a good ROM for its initial Release

(side note: when I first flashed this ROM with the included Gapps, the Google Play Store did not work, and it always displays an error when downloading an app, so I wiped again and flashed the ROM but this time, not selecting the included Gapps, but flashing another Gapps Package such as Open GApps prior to installing the ROM, which worked fine. Also, some CM12.1 Themes have trouble adapting to the ROM, for example, the Text is black when really, it should be white since the background is already black (one specific example is the DEEP DARKNESS // CM12 THEME with the PowerAmp notification) the BlissPop ROM did not have this problem, in fact, this is the first time I've encountered theme font color issues with a ROM, and I hope it gets fixed within the next releases. Also, thank you for the great ROM, keep up the good work!)

p.s. This is the fastest ROM to boot, and the fastest ROM that lasted for a couple of weeks without speed degradation that I've ever tried so far. Also, the Synapse App is really, really useful, but I would suggest an override to the brightness display, because it's too bright in dark places, and too dim in direct sunlight. Also, this ROM made my device to run games with better FPS, a huge plus! Once again, thank you for the great rom :)

Give a try to Nova. Certainly one of the best offer. You have it in Aroma.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

- If you need some new functionality (e.g. gestures) available in pure ROM) address it correctly. I mean address it to CM Team. This ROM is based on CM sources and his Developer claimed many times he is NOT going to implement extra features. Nevertheless you can always use Nova launcher which has got such a functionality.

- Power menu is already implemented.

- Screenshot button is already available. You need to activate it in Settings -> Buttons options.

I was already using Nova in previous version and I'm using it again. Great launcher imo.

Bluetooth reboots the phone after some minutes

Hi,

I've tried some rom for my S3 recently and, based on my little experience, I can say that this is the fastest and feature-rich one I've found.

However, the only bug I have to mention is the one with bluetooth audio playing that reboot the phone after some minutes. The reboot always occurs both when playing media files onboard to the phone and when playing audio streams from the internet.

It's strange that I can play internet audio streams from inside Google Chrome (internet radio stations) without any problem, but playing the same station with another dedicated app (e.g. ServeStream) makes the phone reboot after some minutes.

All the CM12.1 rom that I've tried have this bug, so I guess it's something related upstream to Cyanogenmod.

I can only wait for someone fixing this bug...

Thank you developers and keep doing this good job!

If you really think I'll spend my time on solving third-party app FC even without providing logcat then you're deeply wrong.

First of all, third-party app bugs should be fixed by app developers, not ROM developers. Secondly, if you want a suggestion from me, logcat is the first thing you provide, without that we have nothing to talk about.

Memory Problems.

Hello everyone.

I am using Archidroid Since last 7-8 months and I love it.

One thing i wanted to ask is that, Is it possible to have a 'Memory Leak' problem in Kitkat?

The thing is after booting up, my phone runs very smooth and is very snappy. I am able to Multitask without apps restarting or facing launcher redraws.

I have sufficient free ram i.e around 200 mb and the processes are cached in memory.

But the free ram starts gradually decreasing. And later there are no processes cached and most of the times the free ram drops below 50 mb and sometimes even falls to 0 mb. Phone starts killing apps and there are many apps restarting constantly.

I don't play games, nor do i have any junk kind of apps. I use Greenify which also keeps restarting after few hours of booting up (20-24 hours)

Also, the same apps are running all the time. I mean, there are no extra unnecessary apps running in the background and they are the same ones which were running after booting up.

The problem goes away after rebooting but comes back gradually after some hours. (after around 20 hours.)

I hope I have mentioned my problem clearly.

Please tell me, is this a common problem or what is causing this behavior?

P.s I explored many forums and this type of behavior was termed as a 'memory leak'.

Thanks in advance.

Default settings suggested by me are always default settings during flashing.

Hardswap is recommended if you multi-task much and you want to have a little more usable RAM.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaren:
Hi Archi, thanks for getting back to me.

May I ask a couple more questions on hardswap? I can see 3 sections there: Cache, Preload, External SD card. Is "Current:None" setting essentially the same as "0 megabytes"? I can imagine what "cache" is responsible for, but preload and sd card swap role is not that obvious :)

I don't multitask much, but what I'm currently seeing is annoying delay between taping an app and it's being actually launched. Sometimes it gets 2-3 seconds, but once it has started all is smooth inside an app. So I was wondering as to why it happens and whether there is a room for improvement. I'd appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Tip for "Setup wizard has crashed"

I first wanted to publish it in the Archidroid 3.x-i9300-thread, but i dont have 10 posts yet...;)

For those you face this error message after flashing a rom (especially Archidroid 3.11 experimental aka stable from 10.08.2015):

It has something to do with the Goggle Apps inside the package. They seem not to be the "right" one for this release.

This error often occurs if installing wrong version of GoogleApp-packages.

So i just unchecked in the Aroma-installer everything from Google (Apps, Launcher and keyboard), installed it without setup-errors after reboot, rebooted into (TWRP 2.8.7.0-)Recovery and flashed my favorite GoggleApps-package from Banks ( hxxp://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps) and later Boeffla 4.0alpha10.

Everything is fine and stable !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wallzii:
Hey guys, I installed 3.1 yesterday and absolutely love it. Everything has been rock-solid stable so far, as well as extremely quick and fluid. I am experiencing an issue with mobile data, however. I've dug around and haven't been able to see anyone else with this problem, so I thought I'd ask here.

The issue with my mobile data is that I cannot send or receive data over the network at all. SMS and calls work fine, yet anything data related does not work. I've triple-checked my APN settings, and they are correct for my network, yet still it does not work. I've dug around the menus, and as far as I can see, nothing is disabled. I have switched between 3G and 2G networks, toggled airplane mode on and off, and have even called my carrier and asked them to reset my data connection on their end, all to no avail. Wifi works without issue, and the IMEI number of my device is intact.

I would prefer to not have to wipe and reinstall, and was hoping I might be missing some glaringly obvious solution. Any ideas?

ArchiDroid 3.1.1 FC

Installing ArchiDroid 3.1.1 Stable from the experimental branch on my Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) causes the setup wizard to FC (Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped).

In the development thread, other users seem to have the same problem!

While it is possible to continue after the first couple of FCs, the wizard restarts itself after the Get your apps & data page.

As there is no way out of the wizard as far as I know, the ROM is useless :(

Version 3.1 seems to work without problems, so it must be a problem related to the new features in 3.1.1.

Things I have tried to solve the problem:

Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage) before flashing.

Flashed Samsung stock recovery, stock ROM before flashing ArchiDroid.

Downloaded 3.1.1 zip from ArchiDroid app and later from GitHub branch.

Many different customization configurations of ArchiDroid, i.e. stock kernel, ArchiKernel, google apps, bloatware etc.

HOWEVER, it works when I choose the bare bones version of the ROM in AROMA!

Dirty flashing the normal version afterwards, skips the Setup Wizard and everything seems to work.

UNFORTUNATELY, after every reboot, it becomes unresponsive and screen turns on and off. After a few minutes, it starts optimizing apps again and becomes usable.

I managed to get a logcat of a reboot, but cannot figure out how to attach the file. I am new on this forum, so I am not allowed to post links to outside this message, arghhh!
