Hi guys.. have some problems with maps.apk error some times come out it have unknown problems working... on V3 and also in v4 :mad:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Google maps? Works fine here but I will try to reproduce an error, do you have any more details? Did you do clean install? Did you clear app data/cache for maps? Did you clear Dalvik cache before install? Which gapps are you using? Which kernel? Any more details?

Can you get a logcat?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
mmm... I'm trying now... anyways always clean install...

pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20140123a-signed.zip

maps works... but some times come out that kind of issue windows don't working good... if you try to change manually day.. for example today set on 12.02.14 after a few seconds show me up that kind of error on google map... I will try to clean cache and delvik and lets see what happen... thanks...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I stopped using PA Gapps, I think they are doing some changes to the system during install, try our own minimal gapps or Banks gapps instead :good:

(I know it''s practical with a full package, but it can have some disadvantages as well)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
ahh ok.. you said that, is the problem?... ok.. so after a clean install have to install your minimal gapps and then install one by one from the market right??

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, I used to have "play services have stopped working" with PA, never with the minimal approach ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
what can i say? SmartDroid is amazing! ill hit you's up with V5 B24 today!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Supports V4 f2fs or will V5 support it?

Thanks for info.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
V4 supports it, formating to f2fs is in the Aroma installer :p

But you need Devils custom kernel, and it's really for the advanced user as of yet, if unsure people should stay with ext4. But those who dare will be very happy! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Im on f2fs :D its awesome! and I dont like to go back to ext4 ;)

so I asked because I can't find any information here.

Maybe you can add it in Title like [AROMA] [F2FS/EXT4] ;) :good:

I will test V5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
You are right, the OP and title needs some editing, tanks for reminding us! We will update it as soon as possible! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
unfortunately after try tree times clean install etc... installed maps and give me the same error... v1 and previous version works good...

but is ok.. I'm still on v4... so... after the first installation and first boot... when I set wifi come out a update cm snapshot ? is necessary update or not? I'm using the new partition but I cannot see what is the difference between EXT4 :p

P.D: Sorry for my questions I'm a nO_Ob :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Performance should be much better then Ext4!

[MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] waiting.... :) ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Hehe, soon, base was built this morning it's only the tweaks and features have to be finalized :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
[MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] will release the first base using the SmartDroid base update program i made tonight! this should be good :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Hehe gonne be good! ;)

Secretly checking xda in my school computer! ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
LoL, if anything is gonna happen in the next 9-10 hours the ball is at Ricky, I'm at work right now and can't really do anything before after that :p

On the flip side, battery life have increased tremendously in the latest builds, soon it will be as conservative as a dumb phone(not really, but imaginary speaking) ;)

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Well, I can do something. If anyone would like to test the latest base build in it's totally unmodified state. Feel free. Compiled just three hours ago from absolutely fresh sync!

Remember, only vanilla CM11, nothing removed. Nothing added. Rumour is they have greatly improved the gallery app in this build ... Already runs supersmooth on my second filesystem :good:

B25

(of course real SmartDroid AOSP *next* will be much more fun!)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
The modding has begun! ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Hehehe, just sent the tool i made to [MENTION=5432718]SkywalkerZ[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] builds so fast and without any bugs :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks! The masterpiece clockwork is all ready and set to go, only thing is I have to be home first! :p :good: Just a few hours left ....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
xeizo got a taste of the 1 click base updater :D i think he was shocked how easy it was!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Cant wait for it :D Device is ready to flash ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
its up in the downloads section, click it and you can download! we will add to the thread soon!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
:D

That was a walk in the park! Great job done from Ricky! :good:

A quick link to save the click finger:

SmartDroid-AOSP-B5.0.zip

And, yes, the OP will be updated in a while! :cool:

Faster and more powerful

More internal tweaks

New init.d script for power

sysrw binary

sysro binary

is now build from SD-Autobase-Updater
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Get this rom ota updates ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Not yet, but it is planned, you will know we will announce it here :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slims34:
Okay, I will test this when I get get the time to test.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
[MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] Have a Problem

I flash SmartDroid B5 then latest DevilKernel and SmartDroid Gapps but when my phone start and i set a language the Setup Wizard Fc's
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I've seen that on CM before, usually it's just to reboot and it will work ...

Btw, off topic, to install supersu.zip from chainfire as last step during install cures some potential problems with CM based roms. Remember to uncheck "respect cm root settings" in the supersu app!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Cant get it work :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
i updated the tool to support OTA updates, will be in V6

full wipe?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] S1ay3r666:
Yeah i did all Reboot, Full Wipe, other Gapps...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
hmm, wierd, ill check it out, ill have to look through cm sources to see if theres a bug
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gafi:
Flash without gapps and reboot. Flash the gapps on second reboot, after setting up the phone. Worked for me. DevilKernel, F2FS, Bank gapps. Pretty fast rom...?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks! Almost obvious, yes, sounds reasonable to not flash anything extra(ie gapps) until after (Cyanogen Mod)setup is done! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thehrushi:
I tried several times, including installing Gapps with the ROM and also after 2nd reboot, but I don't seem to get Gapps to work. I can see the play store and Google Settings, but don't see any Google apps as well as calendar, calculator etc.

What could I be doing wrong?

Basically I don't get CM setup at all. All I get is the home screen directly!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] taran2l:
There is not calendar, calculator,etc.. I install it from original cian rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
If I remember right we removed CM setup, dirtyflashed the latest versions myself so I didn't think too much about it but less bloat = good in our world :) It's easy to add accounts including backup account and language in settings.

The gapps package is only play store and contacts sync, the idea is you should only add your favorite google apps yourself from play store = more slim and less bugs!

If you want any of the missing CM apps you can download one of my base builds from xeizo.com, extract and add the app yourself. Generally there are better similar apps from play store, that's why they where removed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
After a full wiper I've installed ROM v5 choose The F2FS Ffile system partion... And I justo did that only from Aroma.. Then I don't choose nothing else.. And on second reboot you know what? I just try to install full packs gapps only because I love Google launcher icon 320dpi also Google search on left size of the screen launcher... "Everything works just perfect" I feel the ROM more faster simple and reactive about previously version... The only things remained was Google map still crash even when I didn't use it... But this is not a Rom problem and nothing like that... This kind of bug also happened with Nexus 5 I read somewhere... So how I fix this... Very simple... I just uninstalled update from map app and leave the app without updates.. Also some time play store show me now still remains one update to do for map.app but I didn't... Now everything's is perfect... The ROM is perfect!!! Sorry but I have to explain my self and every singular thing I've have to do!... And have many apps on my S3 full packs gapps and other apps.. Evrething works great.

Camera web browser... Ecc ecc... All good over here..!!! Thanks nice work guy's!!!!:good:

:o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Oh, and two things, a remark and a problem to solve.

First, no support questions via pm, I should have been more clear about that. Will put it in my sig. That's because a. maintaining a living rom build/distribution is time consuming as it is and b. if the question is interesting it will probably affect more people. For now it should be better to post it in the thread, so that everyone can see if there is a solution and how to solve it. In some time I will create a Q&A thread instead for such matters, as this thread is mainly intended for following the development of the rom :)

Second, with that said, an anonymous user pm:ed me with a problem, let's see if we can sort it out ;)

I'm not sure I fully understand the question but the general procedure for dual booting is:

1. Install Devils recovery.

2. Install a rom to the first filesysten, preferrably the Sammy-based rom. Install a Devil2/3-kernel to it.

3. Make a nandroid backup of the Sammy rom to your external scdard.

4. Create a second filesystem in Devils recovery.

5. Restore your earlier made Sammy backup to the newly created second filesystem.

6. You now have two identical rom to choose from!

7. Clear the second filesystem to install a new rom.

8. Install the AOSP rom to the second filesystem. Install Devil 2/3-kernel.

9. Finished, choose from your two favorite roms! :)

BUT, there is a problem, Sammy-based roms doesn't seem to install in Devils latest recovery(error 7) so the above procedure should be made with the older Devils recovery on DerTeufel1980s OP. When everything is setup, ie you have made a nandroid of a working Sammy rom, you can upgrade to the latest recovery and choose which partitions should be formated to f2fs and restore selected backups with included Devil kernels to respective filesystem. If you run two AOSP roms this is not a problem, only if one is Sammy based!

Hope that helped, in other case, I'm sure someone else can help because we are at xda! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Oh, that was great news! :D Happy users are the best reward there is! :victory:

Thanks aLmAFu3Rt3 for the review! :good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
hey xeizo

i am new to the ROM as i spotted it from devil kernel forum actually so i got interested and want to try your ROM

as it is based on CM11 which interested me more.

however i have some questions before flashing.

-what does the gapps include?

-will a custom kernel mess up with the OTA function?

-does the OTA update function download the whole zip or does it download delta files and patch them within the zip like Opendelta or Cyandelta?

-f2fs friendly means that i will have my system still f2fs formatted after install right?

-any special instructions? i am coming from archidroid 2.3.5 with f2fs formatted system, cache and data and /.secondrom

i think that wiping the data and caches is only necessary right?

thank you for sharing your ROM with us and thanks for supporting the f2fs project
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Just minimal, Playstore and contacts sync, add what you want from Playstore :)

A good question, the OTA was just added as a ability in the current build, it wont actually be implemented until next build which will be today. As far as I know you will have to reflash your custom kernel, and as the OTA that will debut today is purely experimental ie first try I wouldn't recommend it if you are dual booting which is experimental enough by itself! :D

Delta is not implemented in the first version of the OTA, but it is planned for future releases.

Yes, we are actually using JustArchis f2fs configuration module in Aroma(Thanks Archi!) so if you've used his builds you will feel right at home! :D

Yes, I would also use the option "clean to install a new rom" in Devils recovery before i run the installer.

Thanks for visiting the thread, showing interest and asking good questions! :)

Remember, this project only just started, but it is fantastic to have such great initial support as on xda :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Well, forget about the OTA for today, I don't have the time to configure it properly right now. Meanwhile you can get a SmartDroid AOSP build based on the latest CM-sources from today :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Super! Already changed! :D:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] subfire91:
Hi,

I will give this rom a go :). i need some help though....I want to implement the new f2fs filesystem. my questions are :

- Only stock and Devil kernels support this ?

- Should i use the Devils recovery for this task or twrp currently on my devise should do fine ?

- What is the procedure for implementing f2fs (for example install rom first then kernel etc)?

Thank you in advance

Keep up the good work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
At the moment the only kernel at xda that supports this is Devils kernel(wrong, apparently Agni Pure kernel also does!), we will look into if it's possible to borrow code from DerTeufel or make our own implementation but not anywhere soon. What our rom does support is f2fs in Aroma and formating partitions to f2fs. You still need Devils kernel.

I recommend his latest:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2569802&d=1391987451

Devils recovery is needed:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2554519&d=1391343956

The best procedure for going about this is described in Devils thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49979584&postcount=1116

Do as quoted below and you can't go wrong :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FlemishDroid:
You need devil kernel and devil recovery (or Agni's kernel also I think).

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9300 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
Yes, agni pure kernels also support f2fs
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks, I had no idea Agni kernel already had this, sounds good the more the better! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] subfire91:
thank you for your post :). one more question This procedure should take place before or after flashing the new rom ??

thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
You can first install the system with your current recovery if you like, but do not use f2fs in Aroma if you do, after that follow the steps above. The key is to make a nandroid backup of your system, which includes a Devil kernel(or Agni), which you can restore back to the newly created f2fs partitions. It's all in the text above.

The f2fs functions in our Aroma installer won't really be needed until the first time you want to upgrade a rom which is already on f2fs, for intial f2fs setup - all is in Devils recovery! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Been testing this rom for awhile now, works great

Been doing a clean install, no problems

Been upgrading to this rom from a fully installed CM11 (All apps i use included) (Only wipe cahce and dalvik cache), no problems

Been upgrading to this rom from a fully installed unofficial CM11 (All apps i use included) (Only wipe cahce and dalvik cache), no problems

I did use PA-Gapps instead of your own smartdroid gapps cause smartdroid gapps is minimalistic and since my CM11 install had more google apps then that it left some green android bot icons :D

I also use Yank555 kernel since i have no need for dualboot.

Everything runs smooth and it has great batt. life :)

I did read you already included OTA updater but not yet configured, Hope to see it soon working :)

Also, maybe stupid, but it would be nice to have a stock calculator included in the rom ;)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thank you, DjoeN! :good:

So, a full day at work and I have catched a cold in my body, so no time to implement any new features. BUT, of course I can put out a build as that is basically automatic!

(sorry, no OTA yet!)

So here goes:

SmartDroid-AOSP-B5.3_b29.zip

Changelog:

newest cm sources from now(this evening)

build environment upgraded to todays daily dev build of Ubuntu Trusty x64(14.04)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Still feeling less than well, but it will get better! Anyway, a daily build from todays latest sources is an easy task :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
What kind of installation you recommend for a best performance? not dual boot obviously :fingers-crossed:

I mean.. is better to install a Devil recovery, Kernel and format f2fs...right? at the moment I'm still have v5.1 :p some times I'm tired to flash and flash day after day... hehe :o oo almost forget ... I used in Aroma the option format f2fs but I didn't use anything else...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Hehe, you need not to dual boot or to always flash the latest, but f2fs is nice to try. It IS very fast :) Best is to follow the guide I posted above, it will make all partitions f2fs. Obviously you need Devils latest recovery(and kernel) to do that, but well worth it!

Personally I don't use f2fs at the moment since I have to flash a LOT to test things, for me f2fs makes things complicated when doing just that. But if I was running the same Android version for a length of time I would definetely use f2fs :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
Big Thanks!!... so I will try the guide... after that.. .can I update normal any version? I mean just install your' update ROM and select from Aroma format f2fs? right? and then flash devil kernel... don't you?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
It will work fine as long as you don't install anything that formats one of the partitions to ext4, our aroma installer is safe in that respect!(keeps f2fs). I try a lot of other roms, including stock, and other recoveries so yes it is a little complicated to keep f2fs for any length of time :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
aahhh I got ya! ;) uhm.... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
[MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] ok... Make it the guide now full working on f2fs... backup and restore custom job and return my v5.1 good... the only problem I have at the moment is I can't install the last version... I don't know why... I'm trying everything but I can't install it the last one version!!!... downloaded 4 times and paste it on my extsdcard and installed but when I reboot phone still on the first screen boot galaxy S III and there remains... first time I've try it before was on the first setup when I choose country then setup wizard crash!.. and the screen became all black... :eek: ok.. now I will try to install the v5.3 and let's see what happen otherwise I will restore the only one work for me at the moment v5.1 I don't know why but some times have a strange automatic reset... :silly:

he he he :laugh:

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

ok... Fix it!... after flash your ROM but just do reboot... then still on first screen log phone.. so.. after try and try... I think if after aroma installer not reboot phone and install devil kernel... now phone reboot normal.. and I finally have the last version working :D:good::laugh::fingers-crossed:

now I have to install all apps :victory: wow... was hard :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Niiiice you have it working! :D Yes, using f2fs is not always that obvious, but then it is a very new feature and it's amazing it works as well as it does even if one have to think one or two times to be able to use it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
if i told you how to do it with another rom you would crap yourself..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
Really?? ha ha ha :D

I'm Crap my self with this one... :victory:

now have one question...??? If I make all format (f2fs) and after that I install the last v5.4, choose in Aroma to preserve file system f2fs then... install Devil's Kernel...??? then the Rom wake up... Have I a full working file system?? or not? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
yes thats correct!

to do this without you have to flash devil recovery, flash devil kernel, install a rom, boot into it, backup in .tar format, format as f2fs, restore the tar backup and flash devil kernel again..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aLmAFu3Rt3:
Ok!... yes of course all this with devil recovery! yes some time I'm stick myself... I don't how...

So if I do that.. suppose is a full and clean installation with f2fs filesystem Correct?... otherwise I have to do what you said... ok!!! Thanks I think I understood something I guess.. ha ha ha :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
yes it will work

[Galaxy S III Android Development] victor_neves:
Hi man, thanks for your work, it seems so good so far but I have some questions...

Your ROM have a laggy ui like transitions, animations etc? I have this lags in CyanogenMod 11/Temasek/Omni and this driving me nuts sometimes.

If I want to go back to my nandroid backup with partitions formated in Ext4/3/NTFS after use your ROM with f2fs partitions I'll have some trouble?

Thanks for your attention

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
If you want the smoothest experience just use Nova launcher instead, it is definetely more smooth than KK launcher, but we prefer to use KK launcher on other grounds :)

If you want to leave f2fs behind the most safe way is: see to it that your old nandroid backup is on the ext sdcard and remove the card, put in a stock rom through Odin and do a factory reset, reroot by installing ie Philz touch in tar format through Odin, boot the stock OS at least once, put in the ext sdcard again and restore your backup through Philz touch ... old system as new again! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] victor_neves:
Hmm, isn't a hard way to go back i think. I want to try your ROM, I'm tired to be stuck on CyanogenMod 10.1. I have the lag not only in the launcher, but inside apps too. Maybe I flash your ROM today. Thanks for the help :good:
