Chromecast does not work

Hi.

I just installed the Archidroid on my I9305. Everthing is fine but one thing.

Chromecast does not work.

Within every app that uses Chromecast, the phone reboots as soon as I try to cast something.

Could someone confirm that problem?

Or better, does anyone have a solution?

Thanks.

I am with Archidroid 2.4.4 STABLE in my I9300, it is working amazing.

I hava a question, i have seen it has been asked several times in several places, and i have never seen a working fix. It is about "Sim services" (or Sim toolkit), it is not enabled for me. I did a clean install and it is not working, anyone knows what could fix it? I have read that, for some people a working procedure is "copy a STK.app from /system/app from a working device and replace yours", I have not another S3 to do it, but i did it with an S2 with Neatrom, and it does not work either. Could be a modem issue? I have tried MK6 and nothing changed...

It is not a big deal, i can live without it, i really like this rom, the best rom i have tried till now, but i would like to have access to it.

It shows clearly that the only reason for drain is google services.

Perform all of/some of these steps:

1. Turn off localization if not needed

2. Greenify google play services

3. Turn off synchro if not needed

4. In wifi options turn off google scanning

There's no option to text using the phone app. Ended up making calls when I wanted to text. Ex dialer available from play store seems to be a good replacement. Has option to call or text as well as dark theme for contacts..

How does one back up apps n data as well as restoring them? It's probably a very basic question. Previously Play store was able to automatically restore my apps every time I re-flash (wanam) rom but it's not able to do so now. Not sure which setting I did wrongly. I tend to re-flash rom when phone gets too slow over time..

Some Customization Questions

Hi,

First of all I love the rom, battery and speed wise it's amazing compared to the stock rom, so thank you!

1. I'm looking for a way to customize the dialer, in call screen and contacts. So far I tried using Xtheme engine but I don't think the themes have any effect on any one of these, is there another way to change the looks of any of these.

2. Is there a way to customize the Power Control widget to include other switches such as data?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyp54:
I am also wondering from what app/source can we apply themes? I was on Archi 1.x before (now on 2.4.4) and themes were avalaible in aroma as well as a flashable -zip afterwards. I really hate white backgrounds in dialler and contacts. I would prefer all black like in settings.

I also have 2 apps that I want to get rid of and I might ask first.

SIM toolkit - I don't need it, have never accessed it on stock ROM. Can it be deleted without causing connectivity issues?

Dev Tools - I'm not a dev and don't need those. Can they be removed safely?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachow:
Themes - you can't unless:

a) you change rom to other,

b) omni will officially merge theme engine into theis source.

They have been reverted by Archi due to te stability issues.

SIM toolkit & Dev Tools - you can undoubtedly delete them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyp54:
I see you know this stuff, so I will politely ask a few more questions. :p

So if I understood correctly for the theme engine to be avaliable in Archi 2.x we have to wait for Omni guys to implement a stable engine in their own ROM?

Is multiwindow avaliable in the current Archi's base? I've tried but I think it's not there yet. That is a feature needed to be implemented like the said theme engine?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachow:
Exactly. You've understood all things correctly.

And if you were to ask "why so minimalistic strategy?" I answer - it's all due to the stability issues which unfortunetely have appeared in AD2.4.3 where some cherrypicks like Theme Engine had been implemented.

But, once it gets officially merged status in Omni gerrit it would be for sure available the same day at the Archi's github. For sure. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyp54:
Thank you one more time. :good:

I'll just go follow the official Omnirom i9300 theme then. Even though I've developed a feeling that they don't really listen to the end user feedback but march on the things they've set for themselves. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
for both you can use xposed with:

for themes hkthemeengine. it simulates cm theme engine with some extra goodies, but there might also be some things that don't work.

for multiwindow xhalofloatingwindow module with the corresponding multiwindow sidebar (look in the corresponding threads how to configure them.

I personnaly think xposed way is cleaner. so everyone can choose the modifications they really need for themselves, and if you encounter problems simply disable the corresponding mods.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
You are an end user, doesn't that imply you are paying for a product? They do their thing, you can like it or not, but it is their choice. If you can find a way to stably implement it then share. Do they owe you something?

Thanks, it was the keyboard, wasn't selected. I didn't know it was related to the touch buttons.

I updated without wipe and forgot to select hackers keyboard, that's why it was disabled, but it was working right after install (sent a couple messages), then when I noticed the buttons "issue" rebooted the phone and then the keyboard deselected.

With this build I'm having better battery than 2.3.3 but not as good as 2.3.3 experimental with yank kernel, I will try yank's with this build to see if I can get the same battery.

OK. After retry to flash custom bloatware (with fully hierarchy folder respected) , no changes, no bloatwares.

So, i restored my backup to 1.7.4.

All is fine in this version. No matter (i don't want to try with all bloatware restore !)

Just a little question : how to disable Update Me (i can't setting to not check for update, or check only manually) ? Because Update Me send me a message frequently, i tryed to update to 1.7.6. But the 1.7.4 is all good and enough for me.

Thanks for your works, JustArchi., i really appreciate my smoothy S3 (with a little more of battery than rom stock). And i thank you too to care about the bloatware package and the schedule in install ArchiDroid rom : it is a perfect way for me.

AD 2.X doesn't touch your /efs. As long as you won't touch modem it should work with every available scenario, unless something is really broken here. However AD 1.X does, as it requires EFS V2 to work.

I already faced an issue of a guy who couldn't get network on 2.X but could on 1.X, I have no idea why it could happen, as 2.X doesn't care at all about your efs, if your modem can read it, all is fine.

So, to keep you in touch, i try to only keep the ALSA part but was blocked in a bootloop (i didn't want any of the post processing part). The ALSA part is logically already done by the boeffla Kernel so i just commented everything in the Ac!d part & everything is working like a charm with Viper4android added.

PS : I don't remember the numerous articles that i had read about the 48kHz sample rate but with a phone it's indeed totally a placebo effect if i'm referring to them.

help

hello. I have been using archidroid since version 2 and i absolutely love it. It has been working perfectly for me, fast, responsive, with low battery usage. I can get through my working hours (~8 hours with medium surfing, chatting and games) with 50% of battery left.

2 days ago I used up my battery. ( the phone died while i was messaging) After i charged the battery and switched on the phone, I noticed a huge and fast battery drain. (100% to dead in 4 hours without doing anything). Cool tool stats shows that the CPU frequency is always at 1600 MHz even though I am not doing anything on the phone and just on the home screen. When i check better battery stats, cpu states it shows that I have been stuck at 1600 MHz since boot. I have not installed any apps since the battery died 2 days ago.

I have tried to reflash archidroid v2.3.1, v2.3.2 and v2.3.3 But it is still stuck at maximum CPU frequency. I finally had to select battery saving preset in boeffla config to slow down battery drain. Even then, it still drains very fast.

Please help me with this. Thank you.

p.s. Do I need to post better battery stats log since I'm asking about the constant maximum CPU frequency?

Hi Thanks for the reply.

I did Wipe Data/Factory Reset => Clean to install a new rom in philz touch recovery before flashing. But it did not help my problem.

That's a full wipe

You can also flash AD using external card & while being in recovery choose format /data/media, it will deeply clean your internal storage but remember to make sure you have rom .zip on external sdcard

I have no programming skills and therefore can only be useful as a tester and logcat provider.

BUT! You missunderstood me obviously because you have an attitude like I'm a cryboy that wants eye candy unstable features he found on google implemented in the ROM. No! I just want people to use their brains. The only feature I was crying in the Omnirom support topics is "Home key answers call" in the Accessibility options. That feature was, for some unknown reason, omitted from the ROM even though the feature "Power key ends call" was kept. Since that feature doesn't cause any instabilities or bugs and is present in every other AOSP rom I've tried (also in stock Touchwiz) and nobody ever complained that it was bugged - I don't see the reason why it was removed.

The thing I can say without being a programmer is that the mentioned option is a must for people wearing gloves that aren't touch friendly. I've came across some support from random forum members, but again...the Omni team thinks that keeping one option but removing the other is ok.

Sure, why don't we disable one side of the volume rocker? We can turn the music down, but have to turn it up on the touchscreen. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
You're wrong.

Omni is not based on "every rom you tried", and not based on CyanogenMod. Omni is based on AOSP, in AOSP there's no such feature, so they didn't remove anything, they simply didn't implement this.

Problems with mobile connection

Hello,

i've been using Omnirom for quite some time now, but i'm experiencing problems with my mobile data connection.

when I am using a touchwiz based rom, like Revolution HD, everything works fine. but when i am using a ASOP based rom like cynogenmod or Omnirom it doesn't work.

my mobile phone indicated that it has H+ connectivity, but no data can be transferred, apps like whatsapp and facebook seem to be function fine, but when i'm using apps like youtube or snapchat, it won't load.

could someone please help me with this issue? I'm willing to donate to the developer of the rom, but my mobile data is essential.

But you must admit that even in this scenario it's plain silly to implement one without the other.

Hi,

I'm new to this rom, and I've tried many. I chose this because it seems to be much more stable than the others.

However, I have some issues with it too:

1. it can't do screen recording. When trying to , it freezes the whole OS, and I need to restart the device.

2. I got weird colors on the play store, even after updating to the newest one, and even after flashing the gapps. it's not because you used the non-Samsung-saturated colors. attached a screenshot.

3. speaking of the play store, is there a way to make it non-black? use the normal one?

4.As a developer, I use the DDMS tool. Sadly, like all of the other AOSP roms, this one shows all of the processes instead of just the debuggable ones. please fix this, or let us choose what to show.

5. Since this is based on OmniRom (which I've tested), I assume HDMI (MHL) isn't supported, right? will it ever be?

6. I don't understand how to import/export the blacklist for calls/SMS .

7. UI bug: when on lock screen, and showing the list of available widgets, if you scroll fast enough, you will see the previous items being replaced with the correct ones. I think this is just a bad implementation of the getView method.

8. bug: show overflow menu button doesn't do anything - all screens will show the overflow no matter what this settings is set to.

9. I didn't find the place to change the screen density. Is there such a thing? The reason is that in the beginning it asked me and I wanted to see what it'll do (since I might like it).

10. please disable the confirmation dialog when enabling GPS .

11. not sure if it's possible, but let the alarm clock being able to be dismissed by any possible thing the user can do: lift the device, click on any button, touch the screen, etc...

12. when flashing the rom, add a feature: auto-import all apps&data, and WIFI passwords , etc... and only then wipe and flash the rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
1. SGS3 can't record using introduced in kitkat driver, no bug, it exists everywhere, unless somebody used a legacy hack which gives you 7 fps.

2. No issue, standard colors.

3. It's black for a pretty good damn reason.

4. There are no debuggable processes because this rom is compiled with user variant and not userdebug. All apps are odexed and Android won't allow you to hook them. However you should be fine hooking your own apps.

5. It will not be, take a look at ArchiDroid 1.X if you want to use it.

7. Report to Omni.

8. As above

9. ArchiDroid asked you to set DPI during installation. I suggest reflash with update option.

10. Ask Omni.

11. Ask Omni.

12. No. There's update mode for that. What's the reason for full wipe if you want to restore all apps & data later? Pointless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidDeveloperLB:
First, thank you for answering (and so quickly!) .

1. So there is no hope in having video recording? What if Samsung would open source some of its drivers?

2. It is an issue. attached another image. this is not the way it's supposed to be shown. look at this app icon , and compare it to what you see on the attached image.

3. I know (AMOLED screens or personal taste), but is there a way to restore to default? Is it ok that I've flashed the gapps ? or installed the newest play store?

4. So there is no way to disable this? Also, if that's the reason, how come I can see it even on apps I install from the play store (for example "WhatsApp") ?

5. It won't ever support HDMI ? :(

Not even if Samsung delivers open source drivers?

6. For some reason, I've deleted this. Anyway, there is a tiny problem which I'm not sure how I caused it : I can see both a battery icon and a circle with percentage (look at the screenshot). How could this be?

EDIT: never mind. it's because of "GravityBox" module of Xposed...

7.+8. how? on the forum? here ? If so, now I've added it.

9. I know it asked. That's what I've written. The thing is that I wanted to see how it looked like, and hoped there will be a way to change it back. Anyway, I've re-flashed the rom (over the previous one) and changed it to the real default value.

10. +11. here ? If so, now I've added it.

12. It's useful in case you move from another rom. I've already switched between multiple roms till I got here. You are correct on that it won't be useful in case you update the current rom (unless , maybe if you downgrade).

Also, it might be useful in case something went wrong with the ROM, and you know what should still work well (like wifi settings and apps you've installed before).

13. Please add a way to be notified when you connect to a USB that actually drains your battery (in case it's too weak) .

14. Tiny bug: "ArchDroid" app has a settings action item, but it doesn't do anything.
