I haven't tried it yet, but since ArchiDroid derives from CM 12.1 I suppose that the newest alpha of Boeffla kernel is also compatible with ArchiDroid. However, does anybody know if this ROM gains anything (particularly in terms of performance) from Boeffla kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
No, moreover, it loses performance when not used with AK.

Hi I just installed the latest 3.1 stable ROM; which I must say is the best so far many thanks JustArchi.

I am having a very strange issue with what seems to be mp3 files stored on my SD card (sandisk 64GB).

So i performed a clean install, I wiped cache, system,data and internal storage manually through TWRP 2.8.6.1; which I also installed using archidroid.zip.

The rom installed without any issues however I noticed that the sound in general would not work as soon as the rom loads, when I press the volume rockers there will be no beeping sound to mark the volume.

I unmounted the sd card and the volume starts to work perfectly; so i formatted my sd card and mounted it empty (without any music or photos which are the only things I basically have) the volume worked perfectly.

As soon as I copied my mp3's and mounted the sd card the volume would not work; it also seems to hang up the rom at times. This does not happen on the May experimental build however.

I copied a couple of songs from the external sd card to the internal and they played fine, no issues.

Iam attaching a logcat of what might be the issue; can you help me out please?

Thank you for your help.

Every time my phone boots it seems to loop once the home screen loads. The home screen loads for about 2 seconds and then the screen goes dark for 10 seconds. The phone only boots if I clear dalvik cache, cache. After that the phone boots and all apps optimize and the rest works fine. I have performed a clean flash and also updated TWRP. I have also wiped external SD. I have installed AD3.1 using OTG. Not sure if this would affect the install.

__Ok so I have managed to fix the problem, During installation I selected NO BOOT ANIMATION. This is what caused the problem. I reinstalled the ROM and selected a BOOT ANIMATION, This fixed the problem.--

AD 3.1 Stable : No call audio after using headphones

I am facing a peculiar issue but unable to determine how exactly it can be reproduced. Still it happens often.

The last scenario is when I used SpiritFM(FM Audio) along with Runtastic (voice prompts) and listened to them using wired headphones. After using them and taking out the headphones if I try to make a call I do not hear the other side. My voice is audible. No matter how many different calls I make, I am unable to hear anything. Only after reboot, it works fine.

Any idea, what could be the issue.

This issue was there in experimental release as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Third-party apps such as Spirit using root access. I'm not responsible for side-effects caused by them.

Indeed there is something wrong with your MP3s, it looks like a problem with id3 tags.

Regardless, this is CM issue and won't be fixed here, so I can only suggest posting to CM's JIRA or clearing/retagging your MP3s.

I've downloaded yesterday, flashed the stock firmware with Odin and then full wipe and flashed archidroid, keeping archikernel and without mod.

The rom is crazily smooth, no one issue to the UI, just some lag but this is due to my downclock to 1200mhz and zzmove optimized as governor.

Everything else is perfectly working: GPS, APN, sim detector (just once he couldn't recognised the sim, but solved after a reboot), WI FI, Hotspot and even Bluetooth, I know that BT shouldn't work, but for me is very good, yesterday night I used streaming BT on an amplifier and no lag o distortion.

About media quality, nothing to say: camera is working and with the HTC camera seems very good almost as the stock camera, the audio quality is good and with the boeffla sound engine it could be even improve and louder, the microphone is hard to review, as usual for aosp rom the quality of this is less cause to the driver, but with the optimisation of archi the video can be recorder without distortion, the sound recording is acceptable and the audio for the call is perfect, tested with VoIP (whatsapp) and normal calling. (for particularly event you can ever change the microphone gain with boeffla sound)

Battery life seems good, now I am on 10% and I have 2h 30m of screen and a lot of YouTube, Spotify, Facebook and WhatsApp.

Best rom I've used so far, recommended to all, thanks archi.

Hi guys I'm on 3.1 Archidroid. I want to disable the Archidroid app... Do I have to do something special or can I just disable it without problems ? I don't want adblock or stuff...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RajashekarReddy.A:
It is recommended to flash original(stock) firmware, so that all the things come back to original state.

Then flash the 3.1 ArchiDroid Stable. Majority of your problems may get solved and you can experience the stability at its best.

flashing update

Hi,

I have downloaded update via Archis app. I thought it will install it also, but instead of that it says I have to flash it. Will this erease everything from my phone or will just update current kernel? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RajashekarReddy.A:
You can disable it directly from app settings without any problems. But I don't find any reason to disable it, as it merely occupies some space and you can disable the things you don't want in it. You can also download the latest releases directly from it.

Anyhow, it is up to you.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

It is recommended by JustArchi(ROM developer) to clean flash, doesn't matter from which ROM you are coming. ( It is also recommended to flash stock firmware, as it will bring everything to default again. Then flash this file.)

The app just downloads the flash-able ROM file. You need to go to recovery manually and flash the file. Don't forget to wipe manually from the recovery before installing the zip.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podgorsek:

Can you guide me how to remove ID3 tags ??!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMCrimson78:
So, I went the full route :D First installed TWRP, and made backup with it. Then backed user apps along their data with Titanium Backup. Wrote up my accounts and passwords for easy access when done. Then, using XPlore File Manager's wifi-server, moved stuff by hand to my computer. After that, downloaded the "experimental stable" and proceeded to install it. After that came the accounts, then some data restoration via TB. All is well after that. Then upgraded dirtily to stable, as it came along, all is still well. Minor gripe had manifested... Farm Heroes would die on me without warning, also Cooltool and some other stuff that are hanging in the background - must be the LMK - set it's values to those it said were defaults (8,16,64,0,0) instead those that were present - it was pain in the ar... as the steps are ridiculously small :D Now wthat problem is gone, but one remains: Is there any way to prevent screen blinking on when a notification comes? I do like to see the notifications on lockscreen, but that display on/off I dislike, i carry my phone in my pocket, so it can result in an unwanted unlock.

You need a custom recovery on your phone, once downloaded in the SD and entered in the custom rec (would suggest TWRP) should be very easy to do, just go in 'install' and choose the .zip you want, possibly after a full wipe. Anyway there a lot of guide and this is explained in the first post of archidroid's thread...

Dear [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION].

My only intent was to precisely describe the conditions which I was able to recall. Although I understand "This issue was there in experimental release as well." may have conveyed otherwise. Sorry for that.

I wonder if using 2 audio apps in parallel , could lead to such issue. Looks like some app is locking the audio channel and not freeing it after use. Anyways, I will remove spiritFM and observe if this issue appears again. Will post my observations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Rooted app can do anything, including zeroing your bootloader and hard bricking your phone. Spirit is hacking it's way to access audio interface and kernel sysfs, which is needed to make radio work on i9300. But it's totally possible that it includes some bugs.

Volume Steps

Hi,

I currently use Archidroid 3.02 and am using an Xposed module to set the number of volume steps to 30 rather than 15 for music playback. While it appears that this Xposed module no longer works on Lollipop I'd still love to upgrade to Archidroid 3.1. I've found an alternative solution which requires you to modify one of the files in framework.jar. However, I can't seem to work out which file needs to be updated, once I've decompressed it with baksmali. Does anyone know?
