[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
I saw that. I just need someone else to confirm. The Internet issue is fixed. I will flash tomorrow. I had a complicated issue with Philz Recovery, then I found that it is not supported anymore., so I decided to try TWRP. Did you make special settings on Yank's Kernel to get this battery life?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Philz isn't supported anymore?!?!? Oh, no! I'm going to do some searching after this reply! One of the things I really like about Philz is that when I flashed back to stock (as an experiment), when I flashed Philz (through Odin), it automatically restored my root privileges. No extra step of flashing root required. Is it the same with TWRP?

Edit: latest Philz for I9300 (dated today) here, discussion thread here

On Yanks, the first (or second) screen has his settings chosen as default, I just choose that and then breeze through all the rest of the screens. I always promise myself I'm going to explore the many, many options there, but then I go--"Hey, it ain't broke, no reason to fix it!"

I'll be awaiting your response to L-Droid.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
This is why I said it is not supported. I think Temasek build this recovery. I am not if I can flash this version on stock. I did not try to flash a stock ROM, but I still have root access. I do not have any idea with kernels custom settings, so I will pass it :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rosti93:
1) what kernel would you recommand to use for this rom?

2) how do I flash bootanimation "^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
1- Cannot help you with that

2- Just flash bootanimation.zip file after flashing the ROM and GApps and all the other files you need

Can I use the L-Droid-v4.0.0-cm.zip.zip for my i9300? I mean is that for i9300 or another phone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
You can use it, it is for the I9300 too.

Cheers,

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
The version 4.0.0 was built by Senior_Limpio using Cyanogenmod base, 3.0.2 was built from Slim base. Both are compatible with the I9300, but be aware there is a possibility that the CM based ROM might not receive further support. It seems most of the users and the OP are happier with the Slim version, and in an earlier post Senior said he may abandon the CM.

Both work fine, but the Slim is giving better battery life. Contrast that with an apparent slight improvement in screen display provided by the CM version. Also, there are a few options available in each that are not in the other because of the different base.

If you like to experiment, give 'em both a try!

The kernel question has been discussed at length in this thread. Some like one; others like another; still others like a third. It depends on what you're looking for in a kernel; read the threads for the various kernels to see what they offer. Or, you can just stay with the stock kernel, which is just fine.

That said, look at my signature line below for my preference. :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
Successfully flashed the ROM. I will make a small review after the second full charge . I need to know what is volume steps and what are those numbers mean. Why touch sound is very low? I am almost not hearing it. Also the camera is not working. When I charge the phone, while it is turned off, I do not find charging indicator. I mean, on all the ROM's I used, when I press home button, I see that battery icon with green bar. Now I do not see that anymore
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
I almost didn't weigh in on these questions, but now I find I need to.

But first, a question of my own: Which version of the ROM did you flash, the Slim version (3.0.2) or the CM version (4.0.0)?

1-volume steps: I don't know the answer to that one, it's not something I've ever used--before. However, to see if I could answer your question, I went there, and after an experimental change, I've found most of my system sounds--like power-on click and touch-click--are now inaudible, even after a reboot after wiping cache and dalvik. I think that's a good thing to stay away from until we know what they are for. :confused:

2-Camera not working: The original KitKat versions had a lot of problems with the camera. However, that's a problem that has long since been solved. I think it can occur if you have a bad download or bad flash.

3-charge phone/powered off: Again, not something I'm seeing, but I normally charge with the phone on. I tried it out, and I got the battery icon, but it was static, nothing moving. That's been the norm for me since KitKat.

So as you can see, I'm not much help here. But I would like to know the answer to #1 now, since I like having key-press touch sounds and don't any more. Maybe Senior or someone else can help us out with that. Or, maybe that long-awaited update will come out soon, and the problem will disappear with a new flash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
After wiping Dalvik Cache and Cache, the default camera is working, but Google Camera is not working. On screen touch sound and charging animation, not solved yet. I am on 3.0.2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Glad you got the camera working. Because my sounds problem didn't occur until I went into the Volume Steps section, I'm speculating that there's something in there that caused it. But because I'm very satisfied with the setup I have otherwise, I'm willing to live with it. If I were too concerned with the sound issue, I'd probably dirty-flash the ROM and see if it takes care of it. But I'm concerned that any changes would lose the battery life I'm getting under my current setup, so I prefer to just leave it alone for now.

I do see that there are more Lollipop ROMs coming available, so if someone builds one for the I9300, I'll probably be tempted to check it out. Then, when I inevitably come back to L-Droid :D, that would allow me to see if the sounds come back. But for now, since it's not (very) broke, I'm going to leave it alone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
I think I will wait for Senior Limpio to tell us what is that.

Cannot decide what I will do about Lollipop. I use my phone for the work, so I will wait for a stable release. I mean I cannot be lab rat :3. I actually thinking to give my GS3 to a family member; because I want to get Xperia Z3 Compact
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
I'm with you on that. My one test of Lollipop left me extremely under-whelmed, and as I mentioned, my return from that was fraught with problems. Everything I'm reading is that the present releases of Lollipop are great--except that the camera, the radio, and most everything else necessary for a driver don't work. But it's got a really nice status bar! (That's sarcasm, in case you missed it.)

I'm guesstimating it'll be a good 6-9 months before it's ready for use as a daily driver.

Hi

What is the name of theme in screenshot? :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
I think it launcher theme, not system theme. I think this theme is OnePX
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazza1988:
Hi. I have a problem with location services. Whenever I change the settings it force closes Google play services.

The workaround for this is to keep trying and eventually it sticks.

Anybody know if there is a update for 3.0.2 being released?

I am not after a eta or anything just curious because I can live with it until the next update. But if there isn't going to be one I'll have to try and fix it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
There's one in the works, according to this. But Senior recently started med school, so I imagine he's being kept busier than a one-armed paper-hanger. So we're all patiently waiting. IMHO, this is the best ROM for the I9300, so it's definitely worth waiting for!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] THE.W!ZARD:
Does this ROM has Xposed Installer, or support it? I cannot make full review about this ROM; because my usage is very light. I can tell, the first impression is very great. When I wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache, I do not get any FC's. I only got FC for Google Camera and Location, but that for once only.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
go to settings/downloads, you can download X-Posed there. It works like a charm for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
Working on the next version which may be my last kitkat version. I'll be on vacation from December till uni begins in February, so won't have much time at my comp until Lollipop is fully under way. Update coming soon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rodman01:
Great and good news!....would you give me a short info, when your sources on github are updated, so I can start the ports too? I am sure users of the other devices are looking forward trying the new update :). :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
Will do. It's almost ready I'm just figuring out why halo broke. I revamped hover and lock screen notifications but it broke hover. I've also changed the toolchain and it seems to be running really fast. Might be placebo though [emoji6]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nabeel_n85:
As long as the build is not CM, we are game. L-Droid 4.0.0 wasn't a success thanks mainly to CM's heavy and laggy base.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
So the last version might not contain Halo. It is a pain in the ass and seems to break no matter what I do. I've spent about 10 hours trying to figure out why and in the end I still get a system ui force close whenever I disable it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Who cares,Halo,no Halo as long as the quality is the same as previous versions;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nabeel_n85:
Plz no CM base that's all I gotta say. Halo or not, I don't care I don't use it anyway. This is by far the best rom for S3 currently available. Thanks for all your hard work and effort [MENTION=5190842]Senior_Limpio[/MENTION]

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
CM base was a one and done deal. Slim from here on out.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
For me, lack of Halo isn't a problem. It's a nice feature, but with the launcher I use, no matter which edge I put it on, it interfered with something else that I was doing, so I quit using it. So thanks for all your effort. I'm really looking forward to the goodies you put in, not worried about the ones that had to disappear. :o

You're pretty plugged in here, have you seen any indications that there's going to be a Slim version of Lollipop?

I agree with you, and I saw Senior_Limpio's answer up above. From all indications, he put a lot of effort into the CM version of L-Droid, and there are those who prefer that base. Obviously you (and I as well) are not among those, but at least for the die-hard CM lover, there's a version of L-Droid as well. Lucky them, luckier us. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nabeel_n85:
There are so many other rom out there but non has the stability and power that L-Droid 3.0.2 gave me. I am in totally love with this rom. Thanks [MENTION=5190842]Senior_Limpio[/MENTION] for all your efforts and hard work. Much much appreciated.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
I agree completely. I've tried a bunch of different ROMs, before and also after loading L-Droid, and this is the one I plan to continue using. I don't even try others now, I'm so happy with this one.

I have lately started having some problems with fc's, all centered around my use of Cool Reader, which has been problematic since the advent of KitKat, even on other ROMs. It occurs especially when I'm running my timer (stock), and using the reader--I'll get a "jerky" motion on the page, then it goes to the lock screen. Unlock, and everything's back as it was before, so it's a very minor inconvenience. Also, I can't seem to pull a catlog either (I think that's an ID-10T error :) ), so I'm no good at helping Senior identify the problem. I've thought about changing readers, but I kinda like Cool Reader, so I'll just put up with it and see if it goes away with the new release.

We need to get the word out to other I9300 users, so they can enjoy the pure bliss of L-Droid! As always, Senior thanks for all you do!

Pues yo también me alegro mucho de tener otro trabajo más del Senior_Limpio, decir que después de probar esta ROM, se me ha quitado la adicción del flaseo compulsivo.

También me alegro porque últimamente no se si es por Google, que al migrar al Lollipop, me está dando fallos en el los servicio Google, Google+ y su aplicación de fotos.

Y por supuesto............para quitar el mono del tiempo que hace que no flaseo.

Gracias Senior_Limpio, impaciente, pero sin prisas de la nueva criatura que no nos salga sietemesino.

But I also glad I have another job more than Senior_Limpio say that after trying this ROM, put me flaseo compulsive addiction.

I am also glad because lately do not know if it is for Google, who migrate to Lollipop, is giving me errors on the Google, Google+ service and photo application.

And of course ............ to remove the monkey while making no flaseo.

Thanks Senior_Limpio, impatient, but unhurried new creature that does not leave us sietemesino.

Yo creo que es por el Aptoide, pero ya me espero al nuevo acontecimiento que le pase el MegaWipe y empecemos de nuevo.

Gracias por los consejos, pero como he dicho, eso ya estaba hecho.

Incluso he instalado las últimas gapps beta Slim.

That is done.

I have cleared the dalvik, cache, the bathroom, the bedroom, the kitchen and I have to sweep under the beds. But it has given them the same.

I think it's by Aptoide, but already I hope the new event happens the MegaWipe and start again.

Thanks for the tips, but like I said, it was done.

I even installed the latest gapps beta Slim.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Senior_Limpio:
Uploading new version shortly. Here is a list of what can be found, but since this update is so huge I don't have everything here. I hope the performance is the same as previous versions. After a few days of testing it seems rock solid to me, but I'm not the heaviest user in terms of games or other CPU intensive apps, so only the community can be the judge of that.

- Custom background and text colour of headsup

- Dynamic status bar and navigation bar

- Removal of Halo

- Removal of hover status bar button which was pointless anyway

- Updated Sabermod to most recent

- Fixed chrome bug with floating window

- Option to disable statusbar ticker

- Enable speaker proximty

- Speaker proximity only while in call

- MIUI Style carrier text and logo in the statusbar

- Call recording with format choice

- Slimrecent background colour

- Paranoid android PIE (SlimPIE is still there)

- 6 bar signal icon

- New APIs for Lollipop camera

- Soft reboot option

- Overscroll effects

- NFC polling mode

- Fixing of power shutter

- UMS support

- Lots of wifi updates

- Lots of audio/visual updates

- Lots of theme updates

- A million source updates

[MENTION=5190842]Senior_Limpio[/MENTION], what have you done to our L-Droid! Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that it's significantly faster? Also, just on my first charge, it's looking as if the battery life has been improved, as well. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thanks for the work you've put into the (probably) final version of KitKat L-Droid!

You've also made significant changes, a lot of additions, a few deletions (not enough to bother me, f'sure!), so I decided it was time to do the final comparison file referenced above. Hope it helps people as they're (re)discovering the beauty of this ROM.

Hats off to you, Senior, this'll be a ROM that we can hold on to until we see what goodies Lollipop gives us when mixed with L-Droid.

Hi Guys,

clean installed this brillant rom yesterday and everything is smooth and fast except theme chooser which always FC.

I realized it after I've installed all my stuff and set everythin up.

so I full wiped again and istalled, in this order:

ROM - theme chooser working

BOEFFLA KERNEL - TC working

GAPPS - TC working

EXPOSED - TC Working

then I did a backup and after reeboot it's not working anymore. Really no idea of what causes FCs.

any of you facing this?

attached is logcat.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Senior_Limpio, I hate to have to say this, but it seems there are problems with the dialer. I received a call, and when I went to answer, it unleashed a spate of fc's on my phone. Went so quick, I didn't catch them. I pulled a catlog, which I'm enclosing. No sweat, though, I've installed 2GIS Dialer, which seems to be working fine.

I'm enclosing a catlog taken right after the problem occurred, but I had to cut it in about half due to the size limitation on text files within the forum. If it doesn't include all you need, I can give you the rest upon request.

Well, I'm still convinced L-Droid is the best out there. These things happen.

i've been using 4.0.1 since its release date and things were cool, snappy no FC . camera worked fine. i was happy ^^.
