This is the main reason why i bought a OnePlus Two !

Is ArchiDroid finally not going to see the light on OP2 ?

Portable wi-Fi Hotspot don't work

I'm trying to activate a Wi-Fi hotspot but when press the button it turn on and turn off alternatively and don't work I'm using Archidroid 3.1.5 on gt-i9300. Any advise?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
I installed ArchiDroid 3.1.5 some days ago, and everything works very very smooth - but unfortunately there is one big issue: After removing and inserting the battery again, and rebooting the device, it gets stuck in a boot-loop. The only way to fix this is to wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache every time it happens. Any solution for this? THANK YOU GUYS!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
same thing!

I have two i9300, one from friend and one mine. Before problems started, mine had CWM recovery which I've used to flash with AD 3.1.5 rom. Everything worked like charm for about a year. Then few days ago I wanted to try new Resurection remix 7.1.1 rom. So first I've updated recovery to latest TWRP 3.0.2.2 and then installed RR 5.8.2. On friends phone I've also installed TWRP and then AD 3.1.5

After messing with RR 5.8.2 rom I've downgraded to RR 7.7.4 (MM 6.0.1) and then I've decided to get back to AD 3.1.5 cause it's the best rom so far for i9300. So all those flashing was made using TWRP recovery...

After setting up my mob and having it on for about a day, I've wanted to reset it and then it started to bootloop. In first reset it comes almost to homepage but loops it that short time just before starting homepage (it doesn't go thru whole bootup sequence). Then after removing a battery and starting it, it starts again process of apps configuration and freezes just after it finishes that process and then starts it over again.

Same thing happens on my friends i9300 but on his i've updated with TWRP from stock 4.3 to AD 3.1.5. So I've found on net that there's a TWRP loop bug with 5.1.1. roms and that only solution is to flash roms with CWM. (Here's the link). So I've flashed his with CWM 6.0.4.7 via Odin and reinstalled AD 3.1.5 with CWM but same loop thing happens again...

So any suggestion how to fix this? As I've said, AD worked like charm before on mine

Also which is latest CWM for i9300? Is it philz? and if yes, which version? All I can find are down links...

EDIT:

I've managed to get it working!

Hi all.

I got galaxy s3, made factory reset, flashed CF auto root with odin and then installed archidroid 1.7.18 using TWRP recovery.

My camera is not working, as mentioned in Q/A on first page.

Can you give me info which kernel(s) do I need and where to get it. I tried searching for it here on XDA but I’m not sure if I need specific one (the codes…) or I can flash any.

Info before archidroid and root:

android 4.3

baseband I9300XXUGNA8

kernel version 3.0.31-2429075

dpi@HP20#1

build no: JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karvek:
Thanks for your reply Archi :)

1. My provided supports it (Orange - Switzerland)

2. WiFi scanning is off

3. wifi.supplicant_scan_interval: I realized that in build.prop there were two lines (one with value 15, the standard one and one with value 300 of the ArchiDroid tweaks and I simply commented the line with 15), keep the one with highest value, reboot, but I still see no big improvements.

4a. Assuming that this is true at my home (and I cannot do anything about it for now) this CANNOT be true where I work where we have high quality routers everywhere.

4b. Today at work (3.6%/h drain) I realized that the major part (maybe all, but I cannot be sure) of the wlan_wake wakelocks are caused by UDP packets streamed in the internal network (10.2.xxx.xxx) from all the terminals connected to wifi.

Then I was wondering... is there anyway playing with iptables to disable all, or at least ip filtered, incoming udp connections? I think that this could be a big improvement for my battery life but, to be honest, I don't have any clue on how to do it on an android device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
You can disable all UDP packets through iptables, but that won't help as kernel will need to drop them anyway (wasting CPU on dropping itself, and when no service is available it's ignoring them as well). I don't know how to help you because for me it's very unusual situation, if I were you, I would simply disable Wi-Fi when possible.

Hey guys,

since flashing 2.3.5 over 2.3.4 I have a strange volume related problem: my lowest setting for the incoming call is far too loud than before. While calling some persons (read: girly voice with high frequencies) the speaker almost blows me away on my lowest setting.

Has anyone an idea what the problem could be? I am also considering to just make a full wipe of Archi Droid 2.3.5 because I've been only updating since 2.3.0 I think ^^

Thanks guys and thanks Archi :good:

Is it worth reformatting to F2fs? Do we have major benefits to make such step?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fema90:
Sorry for flooding the thread with my problems, but my previous problem just "got bigger". :(

First:

Installing AD 1.7.9 succeeds without any errors, then I can set up android just fine. Except one thing. I tried using the Blue Theme, but with that I can't change the lock screen from the default circle type to anything else - although there are 4 options (none, ripple, light, waterthing), the circle doesn't really want to go away.

I tried flashing the Blue Theme from its own thread, but it didn't help.

I tried flashing the full bloatware - here comes my second problem:

Second:

I absolutely can't install the bloatware package. No matter if I select full bloatware or make my own custom bloatware, nothing gets installed.

Flashing the untouched bloatware zip produces the same nothing.

(Yes, I have the right bloatware version.)

What should I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kocetokostov:
I think blue theme is not updated with new Rom/samsung base so we can't expect to work perfectly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
In current stage it's mostly for very advanced users, who know exactly what to expect. For example AD 1.X doesn't yet fully works with /data formatted as f2fs.

Does it give any benefits? I think yes. It's a good change but it's still in the very early stage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kocetokostov:
Try Kit kat theme next time. It's very good. If you really want blue theme you should flash AD 1.7.7 stable . Fully compatible working excellent tested and Rom version is one of the best on my opinion

I'm gonna be doing a wipe data/factory reset shortly through PhilZ recovery while having ur ROM currently installed (as I mentioned earlier that GApps keeps crashing on my phone specially after taking a Nandroid backup or when I switch on WiFi most of the times. Sometimes even on boot).

The culprit I understand is Titanium backup.

So what's the best way to restore apps? Let Google Play do it automatically I'm guessing?!

It would really suck to setup my apps again (considering I have 90 apps or so in total... Obviously not all need to be setup).

What would you suggest is the best way to go about it.

This is how bad I wanna get on your ROM and stick to it. It definitely is smoother. Project Butter truly. I didn't see that much decrease in RAM but there is a difference. Love your ROM.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karvek:
Continuing my testing I realized that in 15 minutes i have an average 200 packets on my home wifi.

Half of them (roughly 1 packet any 10 seconds) goes from 192.168.0.1 (my router ip) to 239.255.0.1 (standard multicast ip address)

As you may remember I cannot access my router so I don't really know what my router is broadcasting on the wifi network.

Now my question: do you know if there is any possibility to DISABLE multicast on suspend so that the phone does not get wake up by multicasting? Looking on the web I realized that this kind of behavior can be controlled by WifiManager.MulticastLock API and in general the problem seems to be reversed in the sense that people would like to enable multicast rather than disabling it.

On this site http://codeisland.org/2012/udp-multicast-on-android/ you can find some reference on what I am talking about.

Do you think it is possible to disable multicast on suspend?

I think that implementing the possibility of controlling the multicast behavior could solve the 'wlan_wake' problem of a big bunch of android devices ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Let your ArchiDroid behave.

Don't restore apps, install everything you need from the store and restore only absolutely required apps with data, such as games.

The stability of rom depends on YOU, not me. This is only a system, with root power it's very easy to mess it up. You want fully stable ArchiDroid? Disable root, and this includes all apps which are using root, f.e. TB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Already told you, you don't have any control over what udp packets will be sent to you. The only control which you have is the fact what kernel will do with the packet AFTER it has been received. You're already ignoring invalid multicast packets, so there's nothing to improve in this situation. This is how the internet works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:

Q: When I want to use "Freedom", "AdAway" or other similar apps, they can't be installed properly on ArchiDroid, what's the reason?

A: ArchiDroid uses it's own built-in AdBlock, which is widely described in development thread. Therefore to prevent issues and slowing down the network, hosts file are permanently blocked from any modifications. This has been implemented to ensure that you know what you're doing before you mess with hosts file. In most common situations, you can point your favourite hosts editor (such as AdAway) to ArchiDroid's hosts file - /system/archidroid/etc/hosts, as THIS file should be edited INSTEAD of original hosts file. However if you really know what you're doing, you know that adding rules to original hosts file slows down the network dramatically and your app can't be set to use other hosts file, then you can unlock original hosts file through ArchiDroid_Adblock_LockUnlockHosts.sh script located in ArchiDroid's Backend User Control. However keep in mind that I don't support this method, as it's deprecated, obsolete, dirty and ineffective method of settings rules. If you want to do it in proper way, use ArchiDroid's enhanced hosts mentioned above.
