I've installed this ROM about a week ago, after I got sick and tired of mij slow device.

And I must say, it's wonderful. Everything works just fine, fast and smooth.

Only issue I found is that the camera crashes sometimes, but I see you are working on that and it should be fixed in the latest experimental.

However, I'll wait for the next stable version to be released.

Thanks archi, you put a lot of hard work in this to keep improving.

By the way, could someone try to explain in simple language what the Hwcomposer does. I tried to find it here on xda, but I could really find a simple answer that I could understand easily.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
HWComposer is the "thing" which uses hardware (GPU) to accelerate rendering of 2D, mostly GUI.

I9300 is infamous device for it's broken hwcomposer, which is due to samsung's policy of closed sources and no help for developers. Recently Dhiru fixed it for Nameless ROM Lollipop, and I backported his fixes to AD KK.

With working hwcomposer, it draws rectangles (GUI elements) much faster due to GPU being available for that task. All common tasks such as drawing, resizing, scaling, interpolating etc. can be accelerated by GPU now.

The final visible effect is that GUI is now much smoother, it uses less energy, phone heats less e.g. during watching youtube, and battery lasts longer.

This is still WIP, but due to HWComposer being broken since ages, I had to backport it to stable branch of AD, even if I stated that I'm "done" with KK :).

You'll read more in the changelog, in a few minutes.

So I have installed the new 3.0.1 version, downloaded from the archidroid app.

All went well, except that now I can't seem to unlock the phone anymore when the screen is off. I can press all the buttons I want, but the screen won't come on. The only way to get it awake again is to pull out the battery and restart the phone that way. In 3.0.0 I didn't have this problem. So am I missing something how to wake the phone again? It did I do something wrong in installing? I did a factory reset/wipe before installing 3.0.1

Can anyone tell me if I can fix this easily or should I do a new install?

Hi Archi

I've just tried Archidroid 3.0.1 (I did a full wipe) and I must say it's really impressive.

Anyway the annoying camera bug is still present. I tried to record a video and the well known "can't connect to camera" message appeared on the screen at the second attempt.

Also the video upload with Instagram is still broken, Vine won't even let me record and Snapchat just let me record for 2 seconds (this happens on every AOSP ROMS that I've tried so far. there must be some problem with encoding. AFAIK Snapchat will upload only videos smaller than 3 mb).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdrager:
Thanks archi. I've just flashed this fix. Will let you know tomorrow if the problem is solved
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdrager:
So far the problem is solved with the kernel fix.

I noticed there is 3.0.1.1 version released. Can I just install that without wiping the system? Or is a clean install necessary?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Definitely dirty flash on 3.0.1 is enough, nothing major has been changed.

hw composer

The volume of people complaining about the recent update highlights numerous things-

Were not used to issues on any of Archis ROMs, stability is his calling card.

Not all these issues are Archis, some of them are CMs, read read and read some more.

Go read the Nameless ROM thread, the he composer implementation posed massive issues for them and just reading through it shows its not as stable as Archidroid.

How much more can Archi get out of KitKat, would you put up with the current minor? Issues ( for me there's little that comes close to this ROM) so Archi could concentrate on the Lollipop build.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiNdFr3ak:
Hi!

I´m using this ROM quit a while. Now I´ve updated to 3.0.1.

Is there a possibility to change the dpi settings after the installation?

I liked the high resolution in the former versions better (I think it was about 320 dpi).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
The problem is, you won't achieve anything without experimenting, and experimenting causes bugs.

We wouldn't achieve snapiness of AD if I didn't implement my optimizations, and trust me, they weren't bug-free, exfat was segfaulting, kernel was not booting, nothing was displayed on the screen, recent sleep of death issue is caused by that as well.

The thing is, all of that was fixed, and we can again feel the stability of older version, with the advantage of new things.

This is normal order of things. Either you experiment, and you go forward, or you stay forever on old, crappy and bugged sources. HWComposer was never working, Dhiru managed to make it so, and I'm now trying to backport it so we can win in long-run.

You have older versions, you can use them. Nobody is forcing you to update. Moreover, the people that spot the bugs are users, not me, I'm physically not able to catch every bug. If there are not enough feedback on experimental releases, then it goes to the stable. And I'm fixing the bug after someone reports it.

There are other ROMs if you don't like my philosophy of experimental & stable releases. You can e.g. use CM11, which is frozen since leaving of codeworkx and xplodwild, nothing has been added/changed/fixed since cm-10.2. Are you happy with that fact?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandDroid:
Thanks for the reply, none of my post was aimed at yourself ss criticism, it was merely a point to the numerous posts highlighting the issues since 3.0.1, the fact that you updated on Christmas eve and Christmas day shows your willingness to improve but was lost on most people. I'm more than happy to put up with the minor issues as what we have is already better than most roms and your changelog shows it will be fixed.

Keep up the magnificent work

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] : Just wanted to tell you that I've been quietly using your roms for quite a while now and I think it's amazing. I've tried quite a lot of roms for this phone (and others), but none were as good as yours imho. I just hope you'll still have some time in the future to keep working on the S3.

PS1: I also notice some graphical distortions when I rotate screen a few times (happens in multiple apps). I dirty-flashed 3.0.1.1 over a clean 3.0.1, but I guess it's not related. It's not really a big problem for me anyways.

Custom shortcuts

Hi, I'm currently on 3.0.1.1 Archidroid. This is by far the greatest rom I've ever tried. However, I do really miss the chance to choose custom shortcuts for PIE (I used to call power menu from pie, for example) or toggles or nova gestures (I used to use a double tap gesture on the home screen to call 'screen off' action). Is there any workaround, such as terminal command or scripts?

Other roms let me choose between lots of activities as I tapped on "custom shortcut" option (I don't remember the exact name, maybe "slim activities" in some roms)

I have a problem with Mobile data on AD 3.0.1.1 with AK 1.7.2

If I go into Settings>About Phone>Status and it shows the T-Mobile PL as the network. It shows the Mobile network type as HSPA, Service State as in service. The problems I see are that the mobile network state is listed as disconnected and my phone number is listed as unknown (again, I can send and receive texts and calls, so I find this odd).

1. upgrade can cause problems, if you encounter them best to do a full wipe

2. can you acces cwm recovey via phone btns ? if so continue

3. go into cwm recovery -> mounts and storage -> format system , dont touch other and dont reboot phone

4. go back main menu > install zip > choose zip from sdcard1 (aka external sd card)

5. hit archidroid and follow the steps

that should slove the problems in most cases if your phone becomes unable to boot
