Could this have something to do with a option somewhere in settings to encrypt sd card contents? I don't have S3 anymore so I can't check, but search for the setting in all the menus, maybe it's that? I don't know because I have never encrypted the data on sd card.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2be3_80:
I have also never encrypted data on Sd card on any phone,

That's weird behaviour and I really like this rom.

Anyone encountered strange folder names on yours external SD?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Silence usually means no. Have you run a virus scan recently? If you're not creating those folders and they're getting corrupted, something is doing that-and that sounds like the behavior of a virus. Worth checking out. I think I have Avast, and it must have been free. Not sure when/where I got it though.

Is there anything in the folders?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2be3_80:
I don't think it's a virus, I have flashed 3 Roms with full wipe 2 days ago. Deezer made those corrupted folders and camera app and that's all. So for now I will try another rom and see if it's rom or sd card related.

Thank you

Look awesome

Looks awesome that bootanimation!

Maybe this will help you:

I use Total Commander (freeware from the playstore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander)

Set root acces in the settings and then delete or modify the ZIP file that contains the bootanimation

*** Root\System\Media\Bootanimation.zip ***

With Total Commander you can also:

- Open the ZIP file

- Modify the rights if needed

Hi. Very Cool Rom :D I've got 2 issues: i) Google Camera FC when using lens blur ii) When browsing through webpages, if there is a youtube video in the page and I try to see the video from the browser, the browser FC too. Hope you can look into these :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] samuelaviv:
As far as I know there is no way of doing that with the ROMs functions.

I suggest you look for an app in the play store that offers this feature.

Hey guys, What do you think of my battery stats ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] paulosousanokia:
app sd !!

good afternoon, after overcoming the problem of not able to install fifa14 in s3 with the help of user Andr3y29, I have another question;

is there any program to be able to install whatever you download (apk's games and programs) directly to the memory card? if you get the card the phone is completely "clean" as if it came from the factory with only the installed rom?

Thanks again for the excellent rom!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Anybody else having their sd card unexpectedly remove randomly?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] samuelaviv:
Not sure what you mean there,

but the "All In One Toolbox " is one app that has batch Install apk's from SD if thats what you mean.

sorry.. didnt get the second part with the card and the clean..

sorry I meant if you take the memory card of mobile phone it was so clean rom without the programs that I downloaded installed

Hi community, here are some minor bugs i found on my L-Droid 2.2.2: phone sometimes just freezes and shows black screen. Rebooting only over recovery possible (power+volume+home), same when shutting off. Browser (dolphin, here) quits reacting after one session that is, i browsed on one hp, clicked some links, trying another site, links are shown, but "unclickable" screen responds normal, just browser hast to be restarted with cleared cache. Camera takes great videos, oh, wrong meant huge videos. Lowest resolution 480p and a video of 3mins is about 700mb.... Else, im happy with the rom!

Edit: OK,The browserproblem seems to be with Dolphin only.but found another bug: my softkey Lichts dont work anymore!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
What is waking your phone so often? The reason I ask is because most of your wakeups aren't accompanied by screen activity.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] samuelaviv:
You know, Im not really sure, Ive disabled notifications for social apps and email,

and syncing is set to every 6 hours wherever I could set it. I also disabled play store automatic updates

and in google account ive disabled sync for photos, google+ photos, and a couple of others,

Dont think ive found somewhere to limit google's sync intervals though,

Im installing better battery stats so maybe itll clue me on what is causing these wake ups.

We are eagerly awaiting his return.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Would be interested to know what you find out. That activity is so completely unlike what I'm seeing.

Woo hoo! Now you can run with the big boys!

And I'm sure he's blissfully enjoying his much-deserved vacation--and honeymoon.

This lull has permitted us to really evaluate the ROM, and what I've found is it's AWESOME I did revert back to the 6/23 build; I experienced some small problems with both the 7/2 and the latest--nothing huge, but some problems with the camera, a couple'a fc's, so I decided to step back.

To satisfy my flashing-itch, I've tried a couple of the other ROMs available, but using L-Droid as the standard to measure the others by, nothing quite stacks up. L-Droid has smooth performance, boucoups features, stability, and--with careful configuration--excellent battery life. Right now--Friday morning--my phone, after running 23 hours since the last charge, is sitting at 85%. I'll probably have to charge it Sunday morning before I start my day. :good:

gesture unlock

i have just installed this rom,and i am really impressed. everything is working good.

only need to know as i am using gesture for unlocking the phone,there is no option to make the gesture invisible.

pls advise where is this option.

also since i saw theme engine support,is it safe to use theme and are they stable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] goldbeard:
i've never have had this battery life on any rom....what "careful configuration" are you talking about ??? is it for battery saving ?? pls advise...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
I've discussed this throughout this thread, but to bring it together:

First, I've loaded Yank's kernel. Other people prefer other kernels; not discounting those, but I did a careful comparison between Yank's and Agni, and found that Yank's was superior in battery usage. (Some have commented that Yank's is a little slower, but I haven't noticed that.)

Second, I set Wi-Fi to turn off when phone is asleep, an option in the configuration.

Although I like the looks of active wallpapers, I've also discovered they suck the life out of the battery. Those are verboten for me. (Unless I'm showing the phone off :) )

Hover, Peek, Active Display, none of those are activated for me. Don't really need them anyway, since their functions are taken care of through GO SMS app.

I've set the phone to sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity, but I'm pretty good about putting it to sleep whenever I'm not using it. I've configured three different ways to put it to sleep: double-tap in the status bar, double press on the home button, and the power button, of course.

At the moment, that's all I can think of. Another habit I've developed, which improves battery life, is to allow the battery to exhaust down to about 1% once every two or three weeks; then I charge it, uninterrupted, to 100% and disconnect as quickly as possible after it's finished. This resets those stupid pointers that the battery has built in to tell you the battery is drained when it isn't.

Keep in mind that battery life is dependent on how much time your screen is on. I can usually get 4-5 hours or a little more of screen-on time per charge. Those days I'm using the phone more heavily, the battery is exhausted more rapidly, of course.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jesterpaul:
I vote this best post on battery issues. I'm SOKP user, but this is fantastic advice for any ROM flasher that wants to maximize battery usage.

The only further question is which governor profile you use.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Well i find pegasusplus to be perfect competitor to zzmoove for performance and battery.

Gov - Pegasusplus

SchD - Row

No UV, No OC ... zRam ON.

Setting is almost stock anyways but gives me excellent battery life and performance

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Thanks! I have to say, I'm not a guru on android, maybe we could use this time while we're not busy flashing new updates ;) for others to share their techniques for improving battery life. As I've stated before, battery life is probably more important than nearly everything else in my evaluation of a ROM. (The other is the calendar function, since I let that run my life.)

For your last question, when I install Yank's, the second choice on one of the first screens has a choice of Yank's preferred settings; I just go with that without changing anything.

In the meantime, I pulled a couple of screenshots; let's see what you think of them.

I need some help with default document manager in the rom. Today noticed that while trying to attach a file in Gmail, the default doc manager opened for a second and then crashes.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] samuelaviv:
Okay so I took a look at whats waking up the device and so apparently its because I dont turn of wifi,

and so it seems that its mainly googles various services are what wakes it up for syncing and the likes,

there are a few more apps behind the wake ups but these are apps I want to stay connected.

Unless I turn off connectivity all together in some way or another I think this is kinda the minimum wake ups I can get with my device.

Itll be interesting though to see if I get your kind of numbers without WIFI.

Btw, I use AGNI (optimal profile) with CPU max at 1500 and GPU also a step above default and Touch boost on 500, 400 is default.

I also always keep Battery Saver mode on with it set to scale down the CPU to 1200 and turn off mobile data connection when screen is off.

I keep auto updates off in the playstore, I go into google account settings and check off few things, mainly photos sync

(for photos AND google plus photos) and browser sync, I also turn off sync for a bunch of other apps I have

( facebook, Tapatalk, you basically every app on you phone has some sync feature so I go in each one and either turn off sync completely or,

if its important to me this app will keep syncing, I set for sync intervals of 6 hours or more).

I also use greenify to Hibernate few stubborn apps that sometimes "pop" in the background, or that keeps running after youve left them (examples - chrome, Ebay..).

Personally I think 1 day plus is quite fine for standby time while still letting it stay connected.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
That's quite a bit better than the previous screenshot! It looks like you're stomping out all those niggling little things that suck up your battery.

A suggestion...See the screenshots below, and you can turn wi-fi off whenever your screen is off, and that'll take care of most of those little wakeups. Quite frequently, when I wake my phone, there's a spate of updates that have been waiting until there's a connection. I just let them happen, and keep my phone awake while they're finishing. BTW, this only works if you keep Mobile Networks turned off as well; whenever I need mobile and I'm not in range of a friendly Wi-Fi, I just turn it on, use it as necessary, then turn it back off. You don't want your apps updating over your mobile network anyway.

I've included screenshots from the final results of that last charge below. I finally had to charge it Sunday after work. I was pretty happy with the results.

+-+-+-+-+-

On another note, if you have any acquaintances who are wondering what the value of flashing a custom ROM is, there's an article on Bluebox that talks about a major security flaw on Jelly Bean and below--not something that Android told us about. But the way I read it, those of us who are forward-thinking and running unauthorized KitKat on our phones don't have to worry about it.

Thanks for letting me know what you found out!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gtsfreak:
I wanna try this ROM but it has same tweaks like sokp and c ROM so dunno what to do:p:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] samuelaviv:
Yeah, after I posted the previous screenshot I went in to my google account settings and saw I forgot to uncheck the services I usually disable,

Got mixed up cause I was testing stuff and going back and forth between backups so I thought I already did it.

Anyway, No doubt you get some awesome results with disabling wifi when screen is off,

(btw in the battery saver mode you can tell it to switch on only when screen is off, and when it switches on, to turn wifi,

data and few other stuff, off - just another way to cut wifi when screen is off)

but I would like to keep it on, even when screen is off, so I could still get messages in whatsup and some other updates from other apps.

So what works for me is to keep WIFI always on, while I got the battery saver mode turning off data when screen is off and anyway,

I figure, if im connected to wifi I probably have somewhere close I charge.

Oh and Thanks for the link, but my friends are no where near to thinking about custom roms, installing a launcher would be too much for them, But thanks dude.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
How about this: flash it, try it out, if you don't like it, restore your backup. That's what I do when I try other ROMs. :)

Why rebase ? Honestly. Maybe on the latest SlimKat, yeah. But, imo, this is a rock solid ROM, even as it is now based on SlimKat. I've had no FC, no weird issues. When I will get home at night, I will give you some recommendations ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
I'm keeping Slimkat as my base, I'm just rebasing to keep my code cleaner and more efficient. All slim features will be included by default.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hbohd:
About adblocking: it is a good idea to have it inside ROM, however I somehow got used to use apps like AdAway. Why not to change my habits? :p

Sorry if I miss something important in next points, I used your ROM some time ago and I might have forgotten something.

I think that feature "force expanded notification" is something we may have, hm? :)

1. http://gerrit.dirtyunicorns.com/#/c/386/

2. http://gerrit.dirtyunicorns.com/#/c/387/

Moreover, I also saw in some ROMs that there were more options for screen-off animations (like fade - my favorite - and scale out).

This might be helpful - CLICK and CLICK 2 however there is only fade and crt option.

Also, if you are eager to dig a little bit, I found out that battery icons might be improved. Firstly, percentage alignment in circle battery icon (probably this commit - CLICK) and secondly, in AOSB and RR roms I noticed that there is beatiful (maybe not really useful, however it looks astonishing :o ) charging animation for "percentage" battery icon. Unfortunately, I am not able to read which commit might fix it. Probably one of these - CLICK. And, battery icon 'percentage' or 'text' (i'm not sure how it's called - it is simple numbers with percentage symbol) is taking too much space on statusbar (check here ->CLICK).

Additionally, I saw a Viper4Android audio system inbuilt in some ROM, what do you think about it?

Last but not least, will we have still an option to launch heads up in floating window? :o There are few commits to improve heads up functionality too (CLICK / CLICK) and (CLICK 2 / CLICK 2)

Thanks for all your hard work!

Ps. I hope that my post is more informative then tiring :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] szunyi77:
in my humble opinion the Viper4Android very good sound quality, but increases battery consumption. In the past I tried to anergy saving mode, but you can also consume a lot.

The SOKP rom sound engine can consume a lot of energy. I tried Spirit2 sound engine and without it.

When I used the engine sound, the spirit2 has continuously 600MHz, 200MHz without sound engine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
Thanks a lot, that was very informative. Like I said, I've been away for awhile and the android community evolves fast. I'll look into everything you've said and see how it goes. I'd like to get a release out soon, but there's a lot of testing to do. I'll keep everyone informed.
