Photo folder archive for camera ArchiDroid V3.1

Hi guys!

i'm new and i had to open a new thread.

i've just installed the new archidroid 3.1 ( samsung S3), but i can't find the way to set the default archive for photo as external SD... can you help me?

also my device is always "out of internal memory" and i dont know why, i've only 2GB of app and the video/photos are on external SD

thanks for support

Thanks for this rom. I've been using Archidroid 3.1 for 2 days now and haven't found any bugs whatsoever. Also I have no problem playing music with tags on Poweramp. Everything is smooth. I just want to know, do I need to install SuperSU from playstore? I read from previous posts that SuperSU is required to get rid of that # icon on the status bar. It's just that I have a problem with regards to installing SuperSU because everytime I play Kritika The White Knights there's a message showing that I'm using a hack tool or something like that, but if I disable SuperSU the game works fine. I'm just wondering if it will affect the performance of the phone/rom if I don't use SuperSU at all for this rom. I'm new to this flashing thing so I'm not sure what will happened to my phone if I don't use SuperSU. Thanks and again this rom is the best Lillipop rom I've ever use.

Galaxy S3 i9300 ..... sound bug?

ROM was working good... buttery smooth and all that.... until later, the phone just stopped outputting music. Neither from the Speaker nor through the Headset. I tried using Poweramp and the Stock Music App, didn't work. Tried playing a video from MX Player Pro, didn't work. Tried wiping cache & dalvik w/o wiping data (because I thought it would still work because it's just the same ROM) and flashing the ROM again, didn't work. One thing I noticed was that I cannot wipe the internal storage, weird, and now I'm trying to recover from a TWRP Backup back when the phone still had the stock ROM and will try to flash the ROM again, see if that works. In any case, why did the phone stopped outputting music? If anyone could explain why, answer it, or help even just a little bit, that would be SO great! Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CE42:
I experienced this same problem as soon as I mounted my external SD card (which contains 50Gb of tagged MP3s) and I'm pretty sure it's related to the media scanner. I froze "Media Storage" in Titanium Backup and this got it working on my ROM. I can't say it's a permanent fix as this issue has been fairly intermittent but my phone's been up for a day and not experienced any further problems. I'm 99% sure that's where the problem lies though, since as soon as I disabled it things started going back to normal.

I previously tried just putting a ".nomedia" file in the root of the SD card and that helped for a time but still caused some issues using MortPlayer - no idea why though.

BTW before I experienced this issue I had a few albums on a different SD card for testing purposes and there weren't any issues. I suspect it may be the sheer volume of music I had on my SD card (or perhaps a couple of corrupt files?) that led to the problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zek.yuuki:
I tried freezing "Media Storage" ... it didn't work, or should I restart the device first?

Putting a ".nomedia" file in the root of the SD Card just made the app player not detect any of my music/videos

The first time I flashed this ROM, everything worked butter smooth, and thanks to that kernel, I was able to push the speakers' volume even further (boeffla sound through archikernel) and it was good. But after a reboot the Synapse App started crashing on boot and whatnot, saying "settings wasn't applied because of crash or reboot" or something like that, and the sound started not working.

Anyways, thanks for the help. Will try to reboot the device after freezing Media Storage, see if that works :)

EDIT: It worked after the reboot, thanks !!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CE42:
I restarted the device. I should say I use MortPlayer and PowerAmp, neither of which rely on the media scanner. The stock player might do so if you're using that, this solution might not work for you.

Glad I could help. I almost went back to 3.02 because of this issue. Now loving 3.1 Lollipop goodness.

Does anyone know where I can raise this issue with the devs? Would it be an issue with AOSP, CM12 or Archidroid?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zek.yuuki:
Probably the ROM itself. I have tried many lollipop 5.1.1 cm12.1 ROMs already, and this is the first time I've encountered this problem.

I just noticed that my battery is draining really fast, before I could play 3-4 hours of continuous game before it shows that my battery is low , but now just after 1 hour of playing coming from a full battery charge it already shows that I only got 15% of battery left and that I should turn power saving on and my phone gets really hot, I mean way too hot. Is there anyone experiencing this? Is there a way to make my battery last longer? Because I love this rom and it's very smooth and I don't want to go back to CM 11 M9 because that's what I'm using before and it got a pretty good battery life even when playing 3-4hrs, it's just the battery problem that I have with Archidroid 3.1 that I wanted to get fix if there's a way to get it fix. Will turning off Synapse from booting automatically ruin the performance of the rom/phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Reboot to make sure everything is unmounted.

Execute manually:

su
ARCHIDROID_LINUX --mount /data/media/0/ArchiDroid/debian

Make screenshot, send to me.

I'm not sure what is the issue, but if it can't mount one of core filesystems then it sounds like some really fatal error. I tested Pocket Debian prior to releasing AD 3.1 stable and it worked as intended.

Combination of AD optimizations, AOSP and CM12.1. Should be fixed in 3.1.1. You can update to experimental already if you can't wait.

MMS problem

I've installed ArchiDroid over the weekend and I can't manage to get MMS working. I've searched the thread and only found some people complaining, but no solutions. Is there any solution? My APN settings are fine, I have a different APN for MMS and I've tried Textra to send MMS with selecting right APN settings but without a success. I hope there's a solution for this, because the ROM is really fast and fluid.

Changing lockscreen wallpaper in AD 3.1

I encountered this question/problem a few times and now, afer shifting to AD 3.1 I asked the same question to myself. If you need it and haven't found solution yet, here it is. You need file explorer (with root access) and ofcourse desired wallpaper :). What you need to do is to rename the image, save it in proper location, give the required file rights and that's all.

Here is the story explained in details: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2xmzqt/change_your_lock_screen_wallpaper_on_lollipop/. But - I did it and it didn't work. To complete the work and succeed you have also make changes to the second file resident in the same location (/data/system/users/0). So..

0. Follow the link and cook your different-than-main-wallpaper locscreen wallpaper according to given guidlines.

1. Find the file "/data/system/users/0/keyguard_wallpaper_info.xml".

2. Edit this file and adjust dimentions of your image, if necessary (width, hight). Save changes :).

3. Modify the file attributes to 664 (rw-rw-r-- same as "keyguard_wallpaper")

4. Reboot (it was not mentioned in linked guideline.

5. Enjoy your favourite locscreen wallpaper on LP..

Although I have flashed an alpha7 boeffla kernel (ca nnot be doing with how quiet the sound is with the included kernels) it seems to be very sluggish with everything, has id3 tag issues under apollo and issues with music playing and resetting, and i think the play music app this happens too.

I've done a full wipe and my phone is an S3. The phone is a lot slower now. For example when a call comes through. I hear the ringtone and the phone doesn't display until about 2-3 seconds later. Switching from apps to apps locks up a few seconds as well. Just in general, everything is much slower. Anyone have the same problem on a S3? Or perhaps my phone is just too old and I need to get a new one.

Exactly the same problem as I am experiencing! Even if the app was opened minutes ago it will restart, making the overall experience very slow. This was the case after clean install. Tried it several times, but same result every time. After installing some apps the problem get worse...

Could it be related to Synapse crashing on boot? From the first boot after flash it says that Synapse couldn't be loaded or something...

Have you tried using a different recovery, CWM is no longer maintained.. TWRP seems to be the way to go.

Also, if you are flashing stock through Odin no need for auto root.

Flash stock firmware, then flash recovery. Boot straight to recovery then install AD 3.1 (Root is included during Aroma installation).

Worked like a charm for me. AD 3.1 with the latest exp ArchiKernel is running buttery smooth and super quick!

Wifi frequent disconnections and no downloading

Hi, well first of all a, this is a great ROM. I like the colors most. Now I'm having issues with wifi, it keeps disconnecting and connecting after like 1-2 minutes, and occasionally it won't start downloading (particularly in Play Store).

I had stock 4.1.2 firmware with stock kernel prior to installing this ROM. Had no wifi issues then. what I did was I first flashed MG4 baseband cause of EFSv2, then updated my recovery to philz touch 6.07.9 and then flashed the ROM (with Boeffla kernel). Flashing went well, but after rebooting wifi started causing trouble. I rebooted, but problem persisted. So, I flashed the ROM again but with stock kernel but wifi issue was still there. I reflashed again and selected modem MK6. but problem remains.

so now I'm back to 4.1.2 by restoring through nandroid backup and issue is gone.

I really like this ROM and want to flash it, but without the wifi issue, anybody have any possible solution.

I Appreciate your help in advance :)

Hi everyone,

If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. So, I made a big stupidity. I already read that the latest experimental 2 or 3 days ago causes boot loop. But I still flashed it, so I ended up getting boot loop and another big stupidity is I didn't do a back up. But I have a copy of AD 2.3.4 on my external SD card. But I can't seem to transfer it to my internal SD either via Aroma File Manager built in in Philz recovery or through my computer either. And I can't remember how I did it but I ended formatting my internal SD so my internal SD has nothing anymore. I'm still able to boot into recovery though. So my question now is, does anyone know how I can transfer AD 2.3.4 saved in my external SD to internal SD. Or is it possible to flash it via ODIN? I know I'm stupid.
