Stable upgrade from stock 4.1.2?

Hey guys!

I almost upgraded from sluggish stock 4.1.2 to 4.3, when I found out it has many problems. (androidpit.com/how-to-fix-more-android-4-3-problems-galaxy-s3)

Now I'm searching for an alternative. I would like to find a stable ROM close to stock, without major bugs like "Calls arrive but phone doesn’t ring".

Is ArchiDroid V1.7.18 what I'm searching for?

Thanks!

Thanks you for the answer really appreciated. I done everything as you said but issue remained still the same when it restarts goes directly in battery charging status.

hello every body, like recommended i used aroma installer for first installation of archidroid 3.0.

Now i want to dirty flash the new Version 3.0.1 but when i press on the zip file in my recovery, it will start up the aroma installer and i cant choose "update". is there no need for a update button because i should handle this like a new installation and use the same settings like before?

moreover i dont want all features of archidroid, thats why it would be good if only the features i choosed last time will be updated.

sorry for my strange why of explaining.

3.0.1 has a H/W composer built in which causes some graphic issues when in landscape or playing games, it will need a clean install, you maybe able to jump straight to 3.0.2 which has the H/W composer removed and some small bug fixes. Its just as easy to do a clean install for me, it should stop any issues on either ROM.

thank you for your replay,

yes i think a clean install is the best way to do it but i have bad experience with titanium backup and my phone settings and app settings are 100% optimized to my needs. so everytime i set up a new system it takes me too much time.

Thank you for the information with the hw composer, i thought it work like a charm and that was the only reason to update. so i will wait and have a look at the next release.

but anyway, do you have a answere for my question. how to dirty flash/update with aroma installer?

How to change kernel after installing xyz kernel with the rom(in aroma)

like from boeffla to archi and vice versa or downgrading to previous version of the same kernel.

i have heard that to change kernel first we need to have stock kernel installed

So i reflashed archidroid 3.0.2 on my current archidroid 3.0.2 and had all same settings but this time selected stock kernel

and after that i flashed different kernel with flashable zip.

is there is simpler and faster way? and does dirty flashing the same rom(i repeat no update i.e flashing same version rom) causes any side effects?

and fyi:- i have frozen some system apps

Is it possible to have multiuser support in archidroid

Hi,there,I have few questions:

AFAIK ,Android 4.2+ have multiple user function built in.

I tried to activate it via terminal emaulator:

setprop fw.max_users 5

pm create-user test

After that,it works, I can see an option of Users in settings popped up

However, I cant see an tab in power menu to switch users after I switched to the new created user

I can't switch back to the default user

Also,after the reboot, the user I created were gone, vanished ......everything fallbacked as I haven't create that user....turned to original(the users option popped up in settings also disappeared)

Was it related to some scripts that archidroid executes every boot? How can I get the multiple user works on archidroid?

BTW, The multiple user mod for xposed framwork doesn't work on archidroid.
