[Galaxy S III Android Development] Markox89:
Some thoughts...

...please, read them before rushing toward the new build :)

About the SystemUI memory leak and crashes: since the beginning of the week I'm working with the CM Team on Gerrit, trying to understand what's the source of these issues, how to reproduce them and how to fix them: all the clues are pointing to the new Theme Engine; sadly, removing the apks related to it doesn't solve any issue, because they seem related to the changes made deeply in the OS to support it.

So, for now, the best solution found was to use this patch, and to revert one of the parts of the new Theme Engine.

Now, what to do with this week's build was ultimately my call, so I made my choice: considering that everyone uses SystemUI, and not everyone uses the Theme Engine, I took the risk. I've used in the build the patches named above, after testing them for couple of days with positive results.

Ok, bla bla bla, but this means what? Ok, I get you, I'm writing too much :p

The point is: with these patch (still unmerged into the official nightlies) I've been unable to reproduce Status Bar or SystemUI freezes/lockups/crashes. Though, the Theme Engine may not work properly; I said

may

, it can work as well, but since I don't use it I was unable to test it.

In the end this was my call: apply a set of patches that in the past few days has made me unable to reproduce the infamous issues and take the risk of breaking the Theme Engine. Obviously you can disagree with me, but I hope you'll understand my point of view and respect my decision ;)

In addition, if you report back it will be easier for the Team to fix once and for all these issues and restoring a full functional Theme Engine; I'll let them hear your reports, so don't be shy :highfive:

About the md5sum: I stopped uploading md5sum as a separate text file. That's because AndroidFileHost already calculates it, and before going public I always check it matches the one on my building machine. So, even if I stop saying it, remember to check md5sum before you flash a new build :D

And now the part that you were really waiting for... :p :p :p

I9300 20140515 is UP! :cool:
