[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ikkuh84:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Is it built on the latest AOSPA 4.5 beta 2?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] slon11:
need to do clean instal if i'm on the newest CM11 4.4.4.by Maclaw ??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] karburutu:
No need. Just flash wipe data/cache then reboot. :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] slon11:
wipe data cancel all my app's

Where is difference beetween AOSP and CM11 ?? i see only different toolchain what's more ??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
We always build using latest sources!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TPelangi:
It's time to moving from cm11 to AOSPA ..

hope it's will be daily release like a cm11 :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Absolute1453:
Is this rom have a new android l recents ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] MounirHero:
Will try it now and give you a response
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
And what do you guys think about AOSPA?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] rafo2001:
Ok. Let´s try. Time for a Back Up!!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
it's time for clean install XD

really thanks [MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION]

ps: you could add s3 mini to legacy devices ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
I like AOSPA but for me I'll always go back to CM. It just has a special place in my heart￼.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tenshi_xp:
[MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] nice to see novafusion team doing to do this rom too, just tested and see some issues but sure in the next release will be solved. for enable torch you need add this to View attachment 2897146 and if you want to use original boot animation of AOSPA use this View attachment 2897145 i like it more than legacy boot animation.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Yes, this ROM doesn't support it. I mean, whole Nova's release don't support it:silly:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] shervinkh:
Hi. I was using 20140819 version. Just downloaded 20140824.

I have problem installing that.

After i select my choices (f2fs and keep (2) and persmissive), when i press "Install Now" in the aroma installer. I just see "Creating Backup..." text, then quickly it reboots to recovery. I tried a few more times, but I always had reboot to recovery after "Install Now". (I checked the version the new version hadn't been installed.)

Using last twrp. (installed latest one 2.7.1.1 but twrp shows 2.7.1.0).

What's the problem? Does any other person have this problem?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tazmanskej:
Any chance for halo in this ROM
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Halo is dead. The PA team replaced it with hover.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tazmanskej:
Ah ok
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
How can I fix this?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mauam:
Turn off heads up.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Agyar:
So far great

So, after living with 24.8. resease for a few days, I can say it is extremely good and probalby CM backups will be deleted this weeknd.

Battery life is approximately 30% better than on CM11.

System feels more responsive.

Didn't had issue with WiFi that was reported here.

Hover is realy nice and usefull, although, it doesn't resize few apps for quick reply or action.

Only downside I've had was one clock freeze, which I didn't had on novafusion roms for a while now, but clocksync can fix that with reduced sync time.

Great work :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ndhakara:
is there any way to add some shortcut in lockscreens' unlocker like CM or stocrom?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
You mean hover?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mauam:
Sure. Hover is the same as heads up.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dreamH6:
Same 'bug' as in CyanogenMod using Dropbox, all "Camera upload" picture name become 1970-01-01 01.00.00-xx.jpg .

Does paranoid use CyanogenMod source code?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
I'm not receiving notifications from twitter and snapchat :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] bostro:
It's not CM related, every 4.4 rom has this bug related with EXIF data. I think it's a problem with camera driver, so the rom of dropbox app has no fault but it's to be done in the camera driver.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dreamH6:
Thanks, in the CM tread someone wrote it was related to CM sources.

So I stop wasting time testing other 4.4 rom

Ciao, io sono di Monza :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] bostro:
Le ho provate tutte: slim, aokp, cm, omni, carbon, di NF e Android-Andi ma niente da fare, è sempre lì. Raggirare il problema usando A Better Camera App.

I've tried every 4.4 rom: slim, aokp, cm, oni, carbon, both from NovaFusion and Android-Andi but the bug is always there. You can use A Better Camera app, it works well.

Ciao, da Codroipo!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] midelpo:
Clock freeze fix

Hi Maclaw, seems that Golden-Guy has fix the clock freeze bug:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Danzano:
Hi guys any issues with ART on the latest build?

I've just rooted my uncles phone and put this build on but will switch runtime to ART if no issues as on my G2 it has improved speed and battery life by a substantial amount. I see about 45mins more screen on time with ART and the speed is great.

Thanks for the help in advance

Couple little bugs auto brightness does not stick#

In wifi advanced preferences choosing to priorities the wifi causes sys settings fc

Will add as i find them
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Auto brightness does not work because the S3 Mini doesn't have a light sensor.

Sent from my GT-I8190 running Novafusion's AOSPA 4.4.4.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
Has anybody else problems with /system ext4 and rest f2fs?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tazmanskej:
with last build I have clock freeze (alarm did not work today) and I still have very bad wifi signal
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
clock freeze i've naver had the last half year... but mostly it is a problem of timezone in twrp or at first morning after flashing ;)

wifi should be better for me i havve no more probs
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tazmanskej:
Ok I try change timezone and time setting and we'll see. And about wifi, if I stand next to the router (mean 1-2m ;) ), I have only that little dot of Wifi signal .
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
I've posted on CM thread about golden-guy's solve trick :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
I think mac has already noticed i tried also to post at novafusion.pl

Hope wie receive update today ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] midelpo:
Please fix boot animation... still ICS android logo on boot and not PA logo.

ps: PA is on 4.5 beta 4 now, this rom is still on beta 2
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
yeah suddenly selinux not ****ing my phone :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] silencar:
Dont take followin answer too serious:

How often and long do u see the boot animation .. :p 5secs a week? :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
I wish pa open sourced their new recents for legacy builds.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
testin now for some hours and have to say: incredible

this update is so good, fast and without selinux so fine thanks

antutu says 10865 was never so good before
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
I want to upgrade PA 4.6 beta 1 please!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
PA is continued by NF team.:good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
Mobile data does not work too .. It's buggy because NET is very slow.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
http://blog.paranoidandroid.co/2014/09/02/4-6-beta-1/

Will we get Dynamic System Bars in the 4.6-beta1?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] marmelada:
Does anybody else have a problem with a network indicator? Despite being connected it shows nothing, like in screenshot below.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
Like the new recents is closed source for now.. When they make it public we will have it ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
I hope they will open it. It's beautiful lol.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
In the meantime, we can use the Tinted Status Bar Xposed module.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
has anybody else problems with ram?

for 2 days rom was icreadible good. now somethin is ****ing my phone and antutu decraesed from 10800 to 5500
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] opc100:
I seem to be getting a lot of tearing with the most recent update. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JynAlek:
I'm feeling a huge loss in performance, lags of nowhere, even with the 1 GHZ processor and using performance governor, the ROM continues with several crashes and slowdowns, I think it's time for an update on the ROM, right sir New Maclaw?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Suppresed:
You should've left this rom to tenshi if you will do nothing but procrastinate.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
Don't be ungrateful. It looks like Mac is really busy in the last few weeks. He hasn't even really released cm and carbon either.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JynAlek:
many innovative ROM's and it only focuses on CyanogenMod and Carbon which are practically the same thing, I think is too much to ask for a C-ROM / MIUI / or Mokee
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
I just said that he has barely even updated those ROMs. Also it's his choice what he wants to compile. Why don't you compile yourself if you really want another ROM? Stop being ungrateful and learn to do things yourself.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] opc100:
Youtube isn't working, no videos will play. All other videos I've tried work, but not the official YouTube app.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
I think it's related to YouTube, because m.youtube.com doesn't play any videos either.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] JynAlek:
buy a better computer for me and so I compile the ROM I want
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
Why maclaw don't let this rom to tenshi, who was updating this every wednesday?

Sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
Don't make your problem mine.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] GXGOW:
Guys stop it! I think Maclaw's been very busy lately. Just be patient, he will release an update for this ROM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] exwan:
Busy or not he should have left this rom with tenshi, not meddle with something so that he get more hits to his website. When andi and golden guy release omni. Mac release those too. But with little to no update. Then tenshi release pa. Awesome job and most of us were happy with it. Then mac do the same and release pa. Guess what, he's been saying about aospa since last year / early this year. Why release now when people is happy with tenshi release? He has been saying something good will arrive since last year. And nothing has been relase. Just big empty talk so that his topic gets high hits.

Please dont meddle with something if you were gonna do half assed job. Let tenshi continue his work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
It's not like he told tenshi to stop. And I agree tenshi did an awesome job.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Suppresed:
My ass will be rotten sooner than this ROM's next release.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
Don't you guys know that tenshi accidentally deleted the sources from his PC? Also he doesn't have enough space in both his Windows and Linux partitions now. So it's not Mac's fault.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] MalekoUK:
May have to go back to CM11... unless we get an update soon? :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] grinder777:
If I was Mac and if I had to read all that rub... .... ... ... ...Hell no, how can people be soooo kiddish...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
Agreed. They're ungrateful for something they get for free.

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
Ahhh awesome. BTW why don't you use Tapatalk instead of the XDA app?

I'm Batman!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] MalekoUK:
No update? :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TPelangi:
maclaw focus on CM bro [emoji4]
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
I'm always been with novafusion team but hey they could have left this rom to tenshi!!

AOSPA is my daily rom and this flickering version is really annoying. :mad:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] opc100:
And of course, despite the tearing issues, it still says there are no issues in the OP. Nothing like a bit of honesty, eh?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Mike20017:
tenshi announced that he will compile AOSPA with android andi sources. So just be patient :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Back to releases. One tonight!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LuqmaanMathee:
You seem rather busy. Especially over the past few months. So no rush.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Android_Mailson:
Is 4.6 beta 1?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ndhakara:
4.5 beta2 in device info
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] KoRnFactory:
I noticed that the legacy parts disappeared, and I'm not able to find the governor/scheduler settings. What's new in 4.5 beta2?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ndhakara:
Same here, there is no legacy part.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
I'm using PAC performance apk, no problems about legacy parts missing for me.

Thanks for the update it is running very well! [emoji12]
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
Gonna try this
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] capeñarol:
Same for me. No legacy part
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Agyar:
So far it works great. A bit smoother than Sep 1 release and no clock freezes as of yet.

CM11 backup got deleted ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Panzukk:
How is the battery life?

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Still in 4.5 beta2?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Agyar:
Normal everyday usage between 1.9% and 2.5% of battery per hour and my normal usage is a lot of mail reading, 1.5 hours of BT music, 1 hours phone talk and some texting.

Nothing too extreme.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
it is still flickering a little bit not like in previous release, but it's still there
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] marmelada:
Is it better or worse than in last tenshi's realease? (Btw, had same battery life with tenshi's last one)

Ed: Oh, and does yt work?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] giltros1:
Bugs?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] cathaclac:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tom1491:
I would like to try this. Could someone tell me if this is 4.5 beta 2 version or 4.6?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:

Hi yesterday was the first time that i flash my phone. I use odin for it (following the instructions in novafusion page).

The rom works perfect. Its very very fast. But i found 2 problems only:

1) youtube doesnt work (i start to use viral lite)

2) the only one biggest bug: when i plug my charger to my phone (and this one is off) the screen freeze and shows loading pointer. It doesnt move from there. So i need to charge my phone on.... Plz fix this bug asap.

Thanks!!

4) battery drain
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] beanaroo:
I recently acquired this phone and would like to thank the dev team for their hard work. I opted for these because the titles say [Fully Working] and Issues: none. But sadly this is not the case at all. I suffer from the apparently common frozen clock bug. My alarms are not going off...

Does anybody have any advice or a clue for a workaround? I'm desperate, please.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] KoRnFactory:
Hey Mac, link is still reporting 20140929 release... Thank you for fixing youtube video playing!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] jnicaragua:
hey guys, we all know that CM based roms are having problems with RIL; how is this rom working ? ? ... i totally hate be on JB but i really need stable data conection...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
why it is still 4.5 b2 ??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Agyar:
I've had absolutely 0 issues so far with data connection. WiFi can report bad signal, bu to far, every time it did, connection was good.

Had clock freeze issue few releases back, but it looks fixed now.

At this point, this is superior to CM
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] konsti300:
Hope for latest 4.6 b3 in next release...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
It is on latest AOSPA sources, just made change and forgotten to revert it before making repo sync, so number of version is not accurate ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
tried that rom today. Videos(youtube) doesn't work in browser. You can hear sounds, but no video.

Another app(yle areena) my local tv company software doesn't work. Same problem, no video, just sound.

EDIT:Syslog added
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Ozzy2403:
is there a possibility to change the governor?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
Yes, use latest: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=600#downloads

Instagram video sending still doesn't work...I tested so wanted to give feedback :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
How about videos works wit browsers or with other stream apps in this release? Earlier just sound can heared but no pictures :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] jnicaragua:
Back to 4.4 again! as been a loong pain in the ass be on Jelly Beam.

Just trying the rom for the last 30 mins.

1. Data (RIL ) is much better and a bit more stable... but i'm gonna test it more cuz the last time was great for the first 3 hours and them who know what happend.

2. Im having problems to find where to configurate the lock screem ( quick access, widgets - weather - ) ... i just dont find the option!!!

3. The rom is faster than the last version i used

** UPDATE **

I dont know why but, this is what happened:

The phone goes to sleep (not deep, just turn off the screem) for a couple of min (because i wasnt using it)

the, when im try to use it i can see the "H" of good data conection, then it drops to E !!! and i have to wait like

1min to get 3G and other couple of seconds to get back to H !!!

Any idea why happen this or a way to fix?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] beanaroo:
How can this ROM have a title saying [FULLY WORKING] and Issues: none. ???

There are video playback issues.

Screen recording crashes the phone.

The damn clock is not functional.

At least tell people what to expect before they try to use it as their daily driver.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
- what issue?

- that's not an issue, but truly mali is unable to do that

- for the third, I experienced it :silly:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Homu:
'Fully working', 'stable' and 'issues: none' are basically memes around here.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Actually, if you use milestones release, for sure you will get stable environment including no any bugs EXCEPT screen rec as Mali(our GPU) doesn't support it.
