My father gave me his old GS3 with CM 10, and after that I flashed via CWR the ArchiDroid V3.1.5 (after wipes)

Anyway, I suffer from crashes none stop... the phone even crashed during the 2nd flash of ArchiDroid V3.1.5.

Any idea what is it about? Do I have to install boeffla-kernel-4.0-alpha18-CM12.1-NG-i9300.recovery/2.2.08-boeffla-config-v2.apk first?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt1966:
What's CWR?

Try it with TWRP Recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zlatan13:
Flash latest twrp recovery first, then clean install Archi 3.1.5, that means wipe internal memory 2x. Then after install and first boot, restart again in recovery and flash boeffla alpha 18....

And you have perfect ROM and perfect kernel.

Yes it will have the same results as doing factory reset cos you delete everything except ROM.

Well, I never do factory resets, I always clean install new ROM to be bug free and backup my contacts or pictures on SD card or PC.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeGP:
I don't know what to think now, someone else (who's comment i can't find here) said that Archidroid keeps vital information in one of the areas that gets deleted when you do a factory reset, which breaks the rom, (and it did) but i guess he was talking about the "stock" way to factory reset, not the one from within Philz.

The phone was bug free (except for the camera flash one) and i was selling the phone so all i wanted was to delete sensitive information (accounts, passwords, etc.) i don't think that requires a whole reinstall.

Anyway, thanks, i'll keep this in mind if i ever root again, which is not likely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vldesco:
I was, I asked to moderator to delete my post because your question was answered before me.

When you do a factory reset (the stock or philz one) it will erase the /data directory. ArchiDorid keeps information there, so it wont reboot after that.

as stated, do a clean install, this will be a totaly new install
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeGP:
OK then that means that Zlatan13 was wrong, you cannot do a factory reset in any way and keep your rom working?

Thumbs up and merci

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the ArchiDroid ROM.

After many problems downloading it, I was finally able to flash my S3. What can I say?

Well, it seems to work extremely well, for the moment I haven't found any showstoppers. Works way smarter and faster than CM KitKat.

Battery usage is great, I'm still on the original, 3 year old battery in my phone. Camera is fine, Bluetooth works for me (with the devices I have at hand)

"Cool Tool" is a very nice "goodie" and Synapse a great way to customize CPU/GPU/RAM (even though I don't understand everything in it just yet).

Don't know what to do with LMT, how it could help me or what it should do at all?

I'm really extremely pleased with what I see., Great work and effort.

The only thing I'd really like to see in Android (which is a problem no dev could possibly solve, due to the way google created Android) is realtime

audio capability for music work like on iOS (sequencers, synths etc.). I know that there are some music-making apps in the playstore, but it ain't no fun

with the latencies we get.

Help?

Hey,

I've just installed the Archidroid-ROM V3.1.5. on my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. The installation is completed, but when I reboot my phone and want to make the first steps, like connecting with WLAN, I can't use the keyboard. When I just skip those first steps I can only see the toolbar and a black screen. And now I can't even start my phone, it is just showing the CM-boot animation. What can I do? Maybe install another ROM?

Thx for your help.

lost root access

Hi. I've lost root access on my Archidroid 3.1.5 installation since I've encrypted my phone. In order for encryption to work I also had to delete /data/data and /data/system. I probably broke root this way.

When an app requires superuser privileges the super user app won't open. When I open an adb root shell and execute "setenforce 0" it works again.

I added this command to /etc/init.d/90userinit in the hope to have it executed on every boot, but that does not work. I always have to manually call setenforce now.

Any ideas?

i use this rom since last year (i don't remember the date) as a daily driver for my phone and i've been extremly happy with it.

but, yesterday, something happened and my battery has been drained very fast. ussualy, when i leave the work at 5:30, i still have ~60-70% battery (with 3g connection on always), and yesterday was the same. i went to buy some stuff and i called my wife for instructions. after work, i arrived at the supermarket in 15 minutes and i had only 46% battery. i waited for a whatsapp shopping list and the battery was already 29%. i activated the battery saver (the rom included one), but it was still draining. i rebooted the phone and it dropped to 16% and i received an error regarding the synapse boot cancelled.

what is wrong? i haven't changed anything in the settings, i was very happy with the way it was.

can you help me?

Hi Matt! Thank you for a quick response. However, I had installed Boeffla Kernel 4.0 Alpha 19 when I flash ArchiDroid 3.1.5. and I can't find a settings that can change it to be running in permissive mode. Any help will be appreciated. Also, the force close is not also in games but also in some apps that is installed. For example, I open Firefox for android then go to site instant street view of google, it force close the apps. Also, when listening to music, I used Poweramp and when it got to 5 or 6 music, it force close the app. I looked on it on Google and it says that it was a known issue in Lollipop, there was a temp fix to it by disabling "Android System Webview" but I still encounter force close. Thanks for the help Matt.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt1966:
First I use alpha19 myself.

Also Poweramp and don't have any problems with it.

To change from SELinux strict to permissive click the 3 dots in the Boeffla Config App and go to settings - more settings or advance settings.

Don't know what it is in English.

I use German language.

There you can set it to permissive.

When done reboot and check Android settings - about the phone and see if SELinux Status is Moderat.

With Boeffla I use this profile since a long time.
