I try a little The new versión n.7 but for me was not possible install other home's... (4expample Google home launcher)..

So... I'm back on v6.x.x :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Just to let you know.

Camera has still the same problem :/

When taking pictures, it works fine for 2 or 3 pictures, then when you try to take another one, it doesn't take the picture, no matter how many time you press the button to take one. Then switching to recording, that works, switching back to camera, problem stays, switching to panorama, works ok, but camera still doesn't work;

Closing the camera app (long home press and swipe away) then start it again, works most of the time but not always, sometimes it gets the problem again after taking 8 or 9, sometimes 1 or 2 pictures again.

It doesn't freeze anymore, that's already a good sign :)

[EDIT]

Another question:

This question is more a personal point of view.

GravityBox [KK] or Wanam Kit
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Good to hear theres some progress from the source :D I saw there where plenty of changes in tonights source too, like multithreaded boot which is speedy! Wanam doesn't work with art, at least last I checked, anyway haven't gotten around to checking those out that much any recommendation is appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
sorry guys but this days I didn't have so much free time, ok so.. I had the same gps bug too on previous versions like 5.x.x ecc... even when I did a full wipe and change system partitions... then my phone made so many automatics resets alone.. and really believe me don't know really why!! :confused:

then Xeizo recommend me to install stock firmware with Odin ecc.. but I didn't because I have a macbook and I hate windows.. hahah.. :D .no, I have a small partition with win7 but I don't wanna wait a 10''min.. for win7 open in.. is to much for me :laugh::good:

ok so... I did this... reflash the last Recovery philz... then turn back other kikats Rom I have there somewhere ... and every things worked perfect.. not more automatics resets and GPS works... after that... I refused to use Xeizo Rom again... :victory: ha ha but then I saw he did a new versions... so I was so curious... and there we are! I've installed the version 6.x.x and worked good.. gps and not more automatics resets.. only yesterday it made just one.. and after that, ROM update came out! v7... and that's it! .. the story of my liveROMS :D

I still use v6.1.3 because I can't install google launcher... :mad: maybe Xeizo debloat that #option #Launcher :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gafi:
Does anyone have trouble playing youtube videos? Tried the official and third party apps, but no success.

On v7, f2fs, latest devil kernel.

Tried reinstalling, clearing app cache, wiping cache and dalvik but still no go.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
Youtube from gapps or from market?? That's happened to me in past versions but was pa-gapps packets the reason... ;)

Anyways I'm still on v6.1.3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
YouTube works fine here with 7.0, stock kernel and Banks core GApps(the most Slim GApps I know of and never hade any prob with)

I use Dalvik and Philz Touch at the moment since I myself recently did a recovery to stock including factory reset. It really is very snappy anyway :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gafi:
Well, it is snappy. It is by far the fastest rom on S3.

How did you do recovery to stock? Can I just reformat everything in Philz Touch and flash another ROM if I don't want to use f2fs anymore or do I have to flash stock ROM thrugh ODIN?

A link for downloading stock please?

BTW, my camera is working without glitches. Used Banks core gapps, tried with stock camera, Lenovo cam and Procapture. Everything OK.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25703 is a good na7 stock, you need to be registered and logged in to download. Yes, use Odin, and do a factory reset after install and your back to fresh phone. Dont forget to do backup first and remove your sdcard.

Of course, todays latest CM sources had to be built, so I built!

(had a looong workweek, no time thinking about features)

:D

edit. most of the droid energy this week have been wasted on debating Galaxy S5 haters on various forums, if I knew there where so much hatred for .... a smartphone ... out there
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
So i messed around with the OTA updater, cause i got no notificaties for the B8.0 update. :/

I removed ota updater with titanium backup and rebooted my s3, installed ota updater from the play store (it gave an uri Error, but the second try it installed just fine).

After starting the OTA updater it notitfied me of an update for the rom to version 8, but when downloading it gifs an error: "there's an error with the downloaded file" While it has downloaded nothing.

Hope this helps a bit on the OTA updater thing. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
its a possibillity he hasnt pushed the update via OTA yet, or it could be the app..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes it does, something probably obvious have been missed, thanks! :D:good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Manually updated to B8.0

First thing it tells me is that's there is an update (Hé, build in OTA works ;) ) but it just doesn't download (same as previous error.

Is it possible to include OTA settings under settings? The reason i ask is cause when you swipe away the notification, OTA doesn't remind you of the update untill you reboot, it would be handy to start OTA updater and check manually if there's an update, or incase you want to do the update on a later day or a few hours later.

Also as shown in the screenshots, my rom is now on B8.0 (manually updated) and it tries to update to B8.0 again (second last screenshot shows the error message "There was an error with the downloaded file!")

The screen with the changelog while downloading (after clicking download) stays on 0/100 for a few seconds to almost a minute, (time varies) then gives the error message and then goes back to the normal screen (as shown in the last picture). When you close this all, there's no way to try again or update later until you reboot

Thanks

Will now manually update to B8.1 :)

Right after a reboot: (OTA notification pops up).........................Sliding down notification..........Clicking on it in the notification brings you right here!

Clicking Download -> Changelog ............................Again the same error............................And back to the screen, with nothing updated or downloaded.

[EDIT]

After updating to B8.1, it's the same as on B8.0 with the exception of the version, it says update to 8.0 while i'm now on 8.1.

When trying to update (yeah i know, just wanted to see what would happen, it reboots sometimes)

Take all screenshots from above with exception of the last and replace it with this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] start3r:
Hi,

8.1 installed as single rom using f2fs. Working fine but unable to load the flux theme. Going into themes>flux the image shows 'Theme error'

'This theme is missing assets for your device's screen resolution'

Any ideas? Have tried fresh installs, clean wipe following factory reset. Tried 240,260 & 280 dpi.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, it should do that, there is a big red arrow "IGNORE THIS" which you must have missed : D So, it works anyway :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks, I've had the same things happen at my end so at least the error is consistent. No solution yet, but I am investigating! :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Decided to do a clean install (after a nandroid backup) and check out what's all this ART thing is about :D

Still setting up my S3 and reïnstalling all apps from market (no i didn't want to putt back backups from titanium backup, really wanted to do a fresh clean install on ART and trying out 280dpi instead of the 320 i always preffer, I did choose f2f for partition, but actually don't know if it really is cause i didn't change kernel (yet)

So don't know if it's any better or not, will figure that out soon enough :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Always good with a nice clean install :) The f2fs thing in Aroma is for when you already are on f2fs to not try to format the partition to ext4 which may cause bootloop. So, Im 100% sure youre on ext4 now ;) The stock kernel is actually quite good, very stable and snappy, you can change a few things in trickster mod if you like. Also, the stock kernel is excellent with battery, but it dont do f2fs, you still need devil for that :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Ah, ok, i'll stick on ext4 then :) , I'll skip the f2f stuff then, cause somehow i don't preffer devil kernel for that (I know the reason is me, myself and i) it's either stock or yank555 i use :)

Thanks, so far no problems with ART, but i really don't see the benfit of actually using ART in my daily rom.

I know AOT compiling is in the end better for the user instead of JIT (Dalvik) but ART is still in introduction fase and will be improved over time.

I still have to see what apps i use, give a problem, i heard Xposed and it modules don't support ART, but the few i use do work atm. Batt. life should be a bit better, but i still have to see that in my usage :p

Also had a few times notifications of some google services that closed, but the are gone now, ah well we'll see, have to figure out if TWPR can make a descent nandroid of my rom on ART too. :D (Yeah, i still preffer twpr over cwm/philz and that's a personal tatse (like everything) :p

Anyway, it's just to see what's ART all about, cause you never know it really untill you have tried it :).

[EDIT]

Somehow Android has switched ART back to Dalvik and i can't change it now, after setting it to ART, android needs to reboot but it stays on Dalvik, maybe cause i have installed some apps that don't work with ART.

Anyway, not a big deal, i have at least a fresh install left from trying it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
You have installed some of the Xposed varieties, they are incompatible with Art and will switch automatically back to Dalvik which you have just discovered! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
shut xposed off and now it's ART :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Version 9.0 is fresh baked! :D

Now let's see how OTA behaves, not overly optimistic at my end but hmm ...

More fun is that I decided to let DSPManager be left untouched in the rom, to give more alternatives for fine tuning the sound for those using stock kernel. Those with a custom kernel probably uses another sound manager anyway. Viper4Android is still left for those who prefer it's sound, however the verdict is still open on what is the most "HiFi" - DSPManager must definetely be more optimized for the stock kernel as they spring from the same source ... Well, just try it out for yourself! :angel:

How retarded can you be? Including a paid theme in your Copy/Paste ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dEris:
Why would you include a paid theme for free in this ROM? John is a friend of mine and I have made him aware of this. Also thread is reported.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks! Hmm, it was free last I looked at it, my mistake! I will remove all links immediately and post a new build without it! :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
manually updating to v10 !

OTA can only be tested then with the next update i guess ;)

Also reverting back to Dalvik cause i do miss some of the exposed modules i use :D

There's no real benefit for now, using it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Regarding the OTA

I think i found a reason why OTA can't download (removed it with titanium backup and reinstalled it from the play store)

When i start OTA Updater and click the 3 dots in the upper right corner, i choose the first option (View downloaded ROMs) it gives the following error:

- "Your SD card is unavailable"

Probably cause it tries to write/read from "/mnt/media_rw/sdcart1" instead of "/storage/sdcart1"

and that's , i guess, the reason for the download error in my other posts about the ota (see screenhots from previous posts)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Hmm..Lets see y that issues is there and thanks for your tests and observation my friend! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Lol no offence but it wasnt the best theme out there anyway :p I mean.. I ciuld do like 30 times better (and Ill do just that), also a mistake is a mistake. He said he is sorry now grow up or get lost "retard".

Oh and only true losers use profanity on online forums.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I think I'm finished now setting up a new toolchain on my beefier i7-box, it's syncing the repo right now, I decided to skip virtualbox on Windows 8.1 as it seemed not entirely unproblematic. :(

Instead I went for Xubuntu 14.04 revving on the barenaked cpu-metal, todays daily development image. It looks like it's purring along happily sideways Windows, in a dark corner of one of the hard drives(a WD Black 640GB). Pity I don't have more SSDs, the 120GB in the same box unfortunately have to be reserved for Windows if I wishes to keep it(all my games!). Well, well, I have more hard drives to choose from if the WD takes a beating compiling stuff. It was the Xubuntu-installer which choosed that particular disk, if I wanted it to play besides Windows(dual boot).

So, sometimes soon there will be a V6 fresh baked on an i7! :D (at least I hope so, even though the V5 feels awesome so far imho)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xmyszka:
What about FM Radio apk ? I'dont see... :( ...any help ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I don't ever use FM radio myself since internet radio works fine where I am, but I will try to check what options there is out there to include a working FM radio. The only one I know of is Spirit FM, but it is not free, and the Samsung radio obviously doesn't work in Kit Kat ...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, V4 was borked, I have to remove that link. V2 and V5 works fine though, and V5 has the new CM camera!

Tried to build on the other PC last night, but it was a no go, I have to find out what's wrong. Next build will be on the old server again, as it seem to do the job pretty good :)

Do you accept or consider feature requests?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks! I haven't really gotten into the modding department as of yet, but that will come, for know it's only the latest Cyanogen Mod code made usable. :silly:

But, if anyone wishes some features implemented it's just to put the requests in the thread, I can always read back in the thread and insert the features one by one at a later occasion. Could be sort of a to do list :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
loving the new signature ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Hehe ;)

Well, V9 works great as happens to be the case from CM lately!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 557953:
Thats great my request would be for a built in battery bar along the top :) I know there are apps for this but i liked the built in one on IIRC Slimkat
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I had the sense to clock the compile of V9, it was 80 min fresh using no cache, the i7 did the exact same in 35 min so there is a difference ;) It would be faster if I hade enough space on a ssd, I guess I have to buy a really fast ssd 240GB+ sooner or later... Btw, I have downed the complete slim source too! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PacketJ:
Any plans of implementing HALO in the future? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:

Changelog:

Latest CM sources

KK Widget upgraded

Try fix OTA, we will see

CM has made some changes which requires newer custom kernels, stock works ok
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Well, I have solved part of the OTA problems, it didn't make into V11 but will be in the next build tomorrow(?)

Meanwhile, you can fix the problem of OTA not finding the sdcard yourself :good:

Use ES File Explorer or root browser, given permission by supersu, and navigate to /system/build.prop and open it in a text editor,

Scroll down to the section # OTA support and check that the lines below are at the end of the section:

otaupdater.sdcard.os=/storage/emulated/legacy

otaupdater.sdcard.recovery=/storage/emulated/legacy

if not, or if they contain another path, change them to the values above, save and reboot. Now at least OTA finds the sdcard. You can do this change to any version of SmartDroid AOSP you may have installed. I would be happy for test results as this is bugging me a little :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
As soon as my phone is charged i'll test it out and let you know if v10 updated to v11 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
CM source is linked in the OP and has been since day one, seems popular to not read it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
The reason it was there is because Ricky has coded a tool for maintaining the rom ie all customizations are automatically injected, while that code is not included in the rom itself it certainly is an original work of creation. Not available to the public though, but it makes it easily possible to always use the latest CM code while keeping the original behaviour of the rom. All code that is included in the actual rom is on the CM github, and that was how the whole thread started by myself saying that it is what I use .... :)
