[Galaxy S III General] ahmedmelm:
Reference to [ROM][AOSP][4.4.2][KOT49H] SuperNexus 4.0 - I9300 - Build 1 [25-12-13] forum thread by the genius user Faryaab, I admit that I never got such an amazing user experience "UX" ever before using this ROM on my SGS3 I9300.

Shortly, what I'm intended to view through this thread is sharing the smoothest experience I ever get flavored by most recent Android version Kitkat 4.4.2 which I'd shorten in the following points:

Untouched AOSP 4.4.2 Kitkat

Customizing display, statusbar, lockscreen, volume and other tweaks

Enabling App ops which was opted out in 4.4.2 update

Fixing can't connect to the camera error

Enabling Emoji in keyboard

ART is not working, ROM is self protected, solutions?

Untouched AOSP 4.4.2 Kitkat

I really like the untouched stock Kitkat experience which delivers the original Google's philosophy to the end-user. The SuperNexus 4.0 really delivered it perfectly. Fastest ROM I ever got over 16 months of using SGS3 and the big failure of stock 4.3 ROMs. With all built-in features on just 170 megabytes, the space of the ROM in comparison with 1 gigabytes armed TW enabled Samsung stock ROMs "which I actually miss many of their features", I could really become very satisfied that I really could get the best practice of the high-end phone utilization.

Customizing display, statusbar, lockscreen, volume and other tweaks

Comparing with Google Nexus 5 phone features or just the Kitkat features from official Android's website and in comparison with minimal features we miss from stock Samsung ROMs, I've customized the phone

Simply, I installed GravityBox [KK Edition] from the official thread here and its main framework Xposed from here. These amazing tools allowed me to (these are my own favorite tweaks, you can tweak it on your own choice):

Customize battery icon like in stock Samsung ROM: Battery percentage (like Samsung ROM)

Adding AM/PM beside the clock (like Samsung ROM)

Battery Arc in lockscreen ribbon (Sense of art)

Quick Settings extra icons and arrangement (mostly close to stock Samsung ROM)

Unplug turns on screen to be notified that the cable is unplugged if phone is silent (like Samsung ROM)

Fade screen off effect rather than CRT (like Samsung ROM)

Immersive desktop mode

More volume steps (Volume hack)

Safe headset media volume (like Samsung ROM)

Expandable volume panel (like Samsung ROM)

Fully expandable volume panel (like Samsung ROM)

Turn to mute (like Samsung ROM)

Enabling App ops which was opted out in 4.4.2 update

App ops feature which was presented in 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 Kitkat enables users to control over app permissions across the phone. You can unhide this feature by downloading and installing AppOpsXposed from Xposed framework.

Fixing can't connect to the camera error

Most users complains from "can't connect to the camera" error, simply refer to this thread here and download the 4.4.2 camera then flash it. You'll get surprised that the camera version in this thread includes Sphere mode which was absent in the existing ROM. All modes are working smoothly. Thanks to DAddYE

Enabling Emoji in keyboard

The preinstalled AOSP keyboard does not support the Emoji icon pack. To resolve this, just install the Google Keyboard from Play Store here Enjoy :laugh:

ART is not working, ROM is self protected, solutions?

I tried to enable ART instead of Dalvik, the phone asked me to reboot to apply changes, phone restarted normally but when I accessed developer tools >> Select runtime, I found that Dalvik is still the active option for runtime management. I've read several threads that users complains from boot loop if they enabled ART, but I admit that the SuperNexus 4.0 ROM is self-protected from this issue which I hope to see the next build to enable ART. I just wonder using ART runtime needs script or kernel or odexed ROM, I never got the perfect answer.

UPDATE

Reference to post 7 reply from Shamus69, I found out that the reason of reverting back to the Dalvik VM from ART is the Xposed framework. Since the phone is actually at its peak performance in this very lightweight ROM, and my phone is actually armed with ZeroLemon 7000mAh battery which lasts about 2.5 times a standard battery, I don't need the ART VM for now since I think it won't make such big difference for the set.

UPDATE #2 (22 Jan 2014)

Reference to post from member UltraR4nd0m13, I tried the YouTube app as mentioned and I found out what exactly he illustrated, there is an issue after pausing any video.

Another issues I discovered:

H/W and H/W+ video decoders are not functioning properly (videos are displayed in scattered frames) which means an issue with the video driver (Tested with MX Player)

Stereo effects in some games (Tested with Candy Crush Saga) are not clear which means an issue with the audio driver

I hope you share your experience using the SuperNexus ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S3 in this thread and share the word. :D:D
