[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Basically haveged regenerates your entropy pool, it makes sure that entropy never goes below some point, which means that it's always available for everything which requires it.

Android uses entropy whole the time, especially dalvik, when it's available, so higher entropy = more smoothness, I configured haveged to wake up only if entropy goes below ~1024, so it's both enough for any Android task to use, and battery-wise to not regenerate not-needed entropy, like crossbreeder or seeder does. If you take a closer look - with crossbreeder or seeder entropy is always ~4096, and it drains battery a lot, with my haveged entropy is jumping from 1024 to 4096, then slowly reaching 1024 and back to 4096. So haveged is waking up from time to time instead of regenerating whole the time.

Of course it's up to you, I didn't notice any excessive battery drain or other problems, only more smoothness. Android itself takes more battery than haveged can even do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mereno:
Thank you for your reply, master. I found that my entropy levels do not go beyond 800. It stays mostly on the 600 range. Although I appreciate better battery performance, I am curious whether having Haveged working would mean a better over-all experience for me. Stated in other words, I want to at least try it for myself. Is there anyway I can force it to run?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Why is it off? It should be ON, unless you have some third-party entropy fakers such as rngd, seeder or crossbreeder (or other thunderbolts magic tweaks placebo).

Try "reload" button.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mereno:
Haveded Disabled

To be honest, master [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], I do not know what these third party entropy fakers are and, am pretty sure I haven't installed any of them. The only thing similar that comes to mind is Boeffla's Frandom which I have activated. As you can see from the screenshot I have previously attached, the switch is on but Haveged is still off. The Reload and Refresh buttons were the first thing I tried. Next, I tried running Haveged_Enabled through Root Explorer but still no go.

What I haven't tried yet is a clean re-install of the ROM but I am hesitant to do that at this time as I've already configured my phone the way I like it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Ouh, haveged won't run with no proper /dev/random, you should disable frandom in boeffla, ArchiDroid already applies frandom if available.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mereno:
Disabling Boeffla's Frandom and then rebooting effectively enabled AD's Haveged. Thank you, [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]! I am a happy camper now. :)

Currently using AD 2.4 but I've been facing this problem since 2.3.6.

Im quite a newbie but very interested in your rom.i have an international version of the s3 currently on 4.1.2 JB.just wondering if ArchiDroid 1.7.13 will work on my unit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyosha:
If you have international version it will, I did it a week ago. My phone came back from the lab with 4.1.2.

I installed Philz latest recovery, did full backup and flashed 1.7.12 (it was the latest a week ago)

no problems.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeti47:
International 9300 will take most roms. I'm on the 2.4 version of ArchiDroid's omni rom and came straight from the nightly omnirom. Try a few out to see what works best with your usage....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benedictros:
It Most definitely will. I'm on i9300 international version and I've been flashing away with ArchiDroid.

All you have to do is

1. download the Archidroid installer zip file to your internal memory

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Install zip and make it install the AD zip

4. When in the aroma installer, it will ask you what install mode you want, choose RECOVERY (this installs the required recovery for a smooth install)

5. Once the recovery installs, go back into recovery and choose Clean to Install New ROM (be aware this will erase system info, like apps, sms, settings, etc. But your internal and external data will not be touched. Backup what you need with your preferred method. I use gcloud) avoid using titanium update to restore system data because it causes problems.

6. Once clean, install zip, ArchiDroid again. This time choose the custom install mode.

7. Choose your settings and flash (you should avoid doing anything to partition if you are new to all this)

JustArchi makes it pretty noob proof. It's awesome and you'll surely be very surprised and very happy with your new rOm. In my opinion, it made my device like a completely new piece of hardware. Faster, stronger, better battery, and awesome feature set. It takes a while getting used to, but once you get into it and read forums, it's really POWER IN YOUR HANDS!

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

It depends what version you coming from. If it is a small version bump, you can usually just do a dirty flash (meaning you install it without clearing stuff). In general though, it is a good idea to use the Clean to Install new rOm. Read my other reply above for more detail.

If you want to change the font size, make sure to choose the proper DPI setting when installing the rOm. You can do a dirty flash of same version if all you want is to change the DPI. I know there is another way to do it, but I find using ArchiDroid aroma installer is the easiest/safest way to do it.

Display Issue

Hi,

I m new to this rom. After using for about an hour or so, a square box appears on the top right position on my display. Please help, :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
OmniSwitch?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osama.nasir.90:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeti47:
Would agree with Archi, looks exactly like the OmniSwitch drag handle. It would appear a short while after reboot as that process starts up. It can be configured to autohide or not be used if you prefer the standard task handler. ?

Thanks for the reply. but i m new to this rooting and all and dont know how to hide this. can u explain?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeti47:
Go to Settings / Interface / More... . You can select to use OmniSwitch there. In the OmniSwitch settings you can then set up how it works

Its easy, if you know where to look... ☺

Edit: forgot to answer the question. To use drag it out with your finger. It will then show all your recent tasks. Select one to switch to it.

Bit like tab switching in Windows.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osama.nasir.90:

Extract from [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] OP Archi 2.x

ArchiDroid 2.X vs. ArchiDroid 1.X

The long battle between choosing over ArchiDroid 2.X and 1.X is still recent. There's no one real and true answer to this. It's up to YOU to decide who wins this battle, because obviously every user is different. I'm only going to give you some tips and briefly describe differences.

Despite the name, ArchiDroid 2.X and 1.X are totally different ROMs. It all started with ArchiDroid 1.X, a ROM based on Sammy's stock firmware, with all needed goodies and features baked in. Then eventually I managed to implement everything what I ever wanted to implement, therefore making ArchiDroid 1.X more or less complete. Then I started with ArchiDroid 2.X project, built from scratch from AOSP sources, with all source codes available.

The point is, ArchiDroid 1.X is more or less complete, there's no "real" development going on, as I obviously don't have samsung sources to begin fun with. On the other hand, ArchiDroid 2.X will never be finished, there's always something to improve, something to add, something to fix... This is ongoing process, which will reach the end when I finally break my SGS3 or change the phone to another one :p.

If you're new user or you don't know how AOSP works on our SGS3s then I highly suggest to flash ArchiDroid 1.X firstly. ArchiDroid 2.X is targeted at advanced users, who don't mind some "core" features being broken. It will NEVER be as stable as ArchiDroid 1.X is, so if stability is the number 1 for you, choose 1.X.

ArchiDroid comparision

From 1-10, based on my own point of view

Stability

2.X - 5

1.X - 8

Compatibility

2.X - 4

1.X - 9

Battery

2.X - 6

1.X - 9

Performance

2.X - 9

1.X - 6

Features

2.X - 9

1.X - 4

Android Updates

2.X - 9

1.X - 6

-----------

Overall

2.X - 42

1.X - 42

This is ArchiDroid comparision in a nutshell. If you ask me, I think that ArchiDroid 1.X is far better choice for daily driver, but if you're advanced user and you know how to deal with possible broken functions then you can have great time using ArchiDroid 2.X as well.

Remember that only ArchiDroid 1.X supports Samsungs-specific features, such as Smart Stay, Screen mirroring, Allshare or whatever. This also includes closed-source proprietary drivers, such as many bluetooth headsets, which won't work under open-source AOSP. Think twice before considering 2.X if you're addicted to these Samsung goodies.

On the other hand, ArchiDroid 2.X is the only ArchiDroid with "real" development going on, however all universal changes are also backported back to ArchiDroid 1.X, so you're not missing any feature, which benefits also Sammy's base.

That's it. I hope that a choice between both of these awesome roms is a bit easier now. If you still can't decide I suggest to flash both of them for some time and then decide which suits you better.

I've got a strange problem.

My phone has been getting hot all day. I've just checked battery and Android OS has used 51% of battery.

I'd post a betterbatterystats but I've got 11% left and it's 11.30pm and I need to go to bed. I just happened to look at my battery page and noticed it.

Using v1.7.13. Using 240dpi (i have changed nova launcher to 320dpi) I am using archi Boeffla profile (the default recommended one on installation, powersave I think) with Boeffla stable 5.2.

Erm nothing different to what I was running past day or so when everything has been fine.

I recently setup up Archidroid on 1.7.13 on my S3 after using many ROMs this is by far the best one for me from configuration.,look and feel, dpi and other goodies :good:

But - I am having a major severe battery drain - I can only use the phone for about 2 hours - I had battery issues in the past but this is the worst ever :eek:

I know this is not caused by Archidroid but I really need your help to resolve the issue for me

I charged the phone full and let it deep sleep for 7 hours - once I turned it back on the battery showed 65% - i.e. 35% have just "gone" by on deep sleep :(

I am sharing the screen shots from bbs and the logs - can someone guide me on how I can resolve this very problematic issue?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazza1988:
No I didn't delete cool tool, it just got disabled in xposed along with wanam. No idea why because It was enabled when it was first booted when I enabled my youtube adaway, SwiftKey goodness, play store link in app info etc modules.

I've since re-enabled the module (and wanam) and i've got the bit at the top middle of my screen back.

My battery drain could be I had the torch on lockscreen option enabled (even though I went through and disabled it because I have no use for needing it that fast) I took my phone out of my pocket and the torch was on.

Anyway we shall see if any issues arise.

adflash questions

Hi

Just set repo on my extsd.

used "1e git extsd nozip" to see only changes

first time took allot of time (about 45 min) rep is about 1.07GB

My questions are

1. will second time will be much faster now that I have the repo?

2. If I use the command without the "nozip" will it flash the delta and my device will be with the latest experimental code "1e"

3. if I use clean, will the long process of fetching the repo will start allover again?

4. what is the advantage of "clean"?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
1. Yes, when using git mode, you're syncing with the upstream and downloading only changes which have been implemented in repo since last sync.

2. Yes, moreover if there are no changes then it won't download anything else and create a zip from what is right now.

3. Yes, this is the purpose of clean command. Adflash is pretty experimental and due to some errors like failed downloads, lost connections etc., repo may become corrupted after some time.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofird:
Thank you

Maybe my problem is coming from another direction ??

I use my phone for work and to receive exchange mails - but its not possible with root access, so I use an app called "hide my root" - this app prevents the application (touchdown) on my device to see that its rooted and that enables me to get the mails (and other) data from exchange server.

But the problem is that it blocks the root access for all the rest - greenify, boeffla, etc. and I am worried that this impacts this ROM usage, configurations and therefore battery life.

so there are 2 options

1) find an app that restricts root only for my mail - touchdown application (I searched all over for one but didn't find :eek:)

2) find a ROM that doesn't rely too much on root access to operate efficiently

having said that - I am already geenfying (non root) most of my apps and will turn location settings off
