I purchase MHL cable for s3 and on testing found it was not working. Upon little survey found that its not compatible with AOSP roms. Just want to know whether mhl cable is compatible with archi 1.x roms?

if yes? can both archi 1.x and archi 2.x roms be in dual boot?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
the mhl cable which works with stock rom should also work with ad 1.X, but never tested it myself.

yes they can be dualbooted together. The last time I tried it was with devil kernel with its dualboot recovery. But the recovery wasn't updated quite a time now and I am not sure if it can handle the latest omni/cm roms. so you have to test it yourself.

also note that the direct flash of an aroma based rom (like AD) as second rom might work, but doesn't have to and can possibly overwrite or wipe your primary rom (so backup it). if it can't be flashed directly as second rom, you can use the nandroid method. --> install second rom as primary rom, backup it, restore it as second rom and flash primary rom.

I cannot tell you for the latest versions (atm I use another combination), but the last time I tried it was with AD 2.4.3 as primary and AD 1.7.15 as secondary (could even directly be flashed as second rom) and it worked.

If you don't have /efs backup then you're screwed. /efs backup is the first thing you should do when you access root or cwm. Remember that there are two types of people - those who make backups, and those who will.

I can only suggest to flash official pure stock ROM from Sammy through Odin, wiping /data before doing so, and hoping for best. Otherwise, service centre.

Wifi Authentication Error

Hello, Archi.

First of all, congratulations for the rom. Simply the best one out there in my opinion.

I've been using the 1.7.xx for a while now as a daily driver and updated to the 1.7.16 a couple of weeks back.

Last week I started facing the wifi authentication error out of the sudden.

I really cannot identify anything that could have caused the problem: I was using wifi on one day, two days later it wasn't working any more.

Could it be related to the rom (1.7.16) itself in your opinion?

I haven't found any information on this error happening on your rom so far...

I have read many different posts on this issue and on other forums as well, tryed 100 different fixes that didn't work and just ran out of ideas.

That's why I'm rigthing you this. I really don't want to send this wonderful phone for early retirement because of this wifi issue.

Trying to fix it I have factory reset, restored nandroid backups of previous roms, and I have also flashed with odin official firmware 4.3 and 4.1.2 with no success...

I don't think it's a hardware issue only because on wanam's rom I was able to connect to a wifi hotspot created with my wifi's phone.

Would you be able to give any advice??

(Please let me know if I should have post this somewhere else!)

Thank you in advance.

YouTube issue

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936970]acezuti[/MENTION] Just wanted to mention that I don't think the old pesky YouTube FC/reboot issue is related to the Blue Theme after all. I have just reflashed AD 1.7.16 with stock kernel (previous preset expert, update mode - nothing else but the kernel changed, previously I was on Boeffla 5.3 beta6) and YouTube works just fine :good: :)

I went even further and flashed Sammy ArchiKernel v.1.2 (in fact, that was the reason for thinking of reflashing AD in update mode :D ) and YouTube runs flawlessly, even a little snappier it seems :) No FC or random reboot so far.

So, I guess that's one less issue caused by AD 1.x and Blue Theme combo! :cool:

Battery drop after charger disconnect

Hi.

I've flashed the ROM about 2 days ago (V2.x with boffela kernel, coming from UltimaROM) with full wipe and noticed that whenever I disconnect the charger after it reaches 100% (Say overnight charge, which is also slower than before...), the battery suddenly drops to around 82% and stays there even when I reconnect the charger.

I've ran battery calibration process, but it didn't help (Charge to 100%, erase battery stat files, let it discharge, and charge back to 100%).

I NEVER had this issue before, and it doesnt seem logical to me that the battery suddenly died after flashing this ROM...

The battery logs are attached, and any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aavion:
i think it's a bug, because when i clear entropy, it slowly charges up to 4096 again and stays there... it's a similar behavior like when activating frandom with arters kernel... my idea is, that android is taking entropy from frandom and erandom, while archi app and haveged only monitor random and urandom... just an idea, because with boeffla kernel entropy rises and falls constantly... it's not a big deal as everything else works perfect, but is there a way i can check if theres a problem or not? i'd be glad if i could help you in any way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
No. You're mixing two things. Kernel's entropy and random device are two TOTALLY different and INDEPENDENT things. Yes, kernel's entropy is used when you read random device, but it's also used for many other things, like, running android system itself. With "normal" kernels entropy slowly gets depleted because device can't generate enough, this is why archidroid_haveged exists, to regenerate entropy when it falls below 1024. My kernel has patch implemented originally by [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] which avoids depleting of kernel's entropy by using a better optimized algorithm. So actually you could turn off haveged and still have high entropy level because my kernel simply doesn't need it.

This is NOT a bug, this is a feature.
