Anyone who dedicates his time that others can enjoy his work for free desirves my respect . I'm sorry to hear that you're depressed. Look for the small things that bring joy to your life and focus on them. Have faith...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] strom87:
MaHo, firstly please accept my sincere thanks for your ROM! I really enjoy it every day. Every little detail brought to you to this ROM can give us a lot of fun and that's what this is all about! I am aware of the fact you make this ROM in your spare time and for free. This alone it worth an applaud. I would also like to thank you for not ignoring your users - you are patient and answer our questions carefully. Not many do this.

Don't you worry to much about the problems I or others complain about. Every ROM has issues, there is no question about it and yours suits my needs and taste for the time being. I just report the bugs I encountered to help you perfect your ROM.

There are obviosuly more important things in our lives than xda, so let's do not take this very seriously :silly: Cheers mate!

Older version

Maho, could you send me a link to download your rom's 2.1 version? Or the 2.2 sensation version, NOT the lite. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] eireusa:
Like to get that link too :D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] TharakaKS:
Any updates in future? :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Main rom is under ''ROM DOWNLOAD'' in the OP (first page) and i have just added also ''OLDER DOWNLOADS'' right beneath the main rom. This rom is usable with both the old and new bootloader because it uses Agni kernel by default. None of the roms in the OP contain anything from KNOX inside, completely knox free. You dont need any other kernel other then what is provided for this rom in the OP and WiFi should work properly ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Mad07:
THX for the clear clarification; sounds good :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] eireusa:
Hey MaHo thank you for this rom its really looks so great. I just wonder if you could help me a bit with the camera issue, i was reading on page 1 and i have got the hang of everything up to step 4 Reboot into recovery, flash back your original kernel (AGNi or Boeffla) and boot back. My question is do i have to download AGNI OR Boeffla or is it there already SORRY IF ITS A STUPID QUESTION ANY HELP APPRECIATED. If i have to download kernal where would i get it from THANKS
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Hey man,

You will need to download Agni v4.9 and flash that, you should be good after that, its the one in the OP under "compatible kernels" :) some time ago there was also boeffla kernel downloads for this rom, but those were not stable, so i had removed them, still need to correct that line you mentioned in the steps, will do when i get home ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] eireusa:
Listen MaHo thank you so much. Now that i see where it is i do apologize for wasting your time and

THANKS AGAIN:)

Thanks for this ROM, you wont believe me but I purchased this handset to try this ROM, and Finally I successfully installed it on my SGS3 GT-I9305N

Can you please tell what is the difference in 9305 and 9305N because I didnt find any thing change rather than LTE frequencies, but I dont care I dont use LTE as LTE is not launched yet in my country.

Thanks once again Bro..

I don't know why, but battery consumption is really bad in this ROM, don't this is because of handset, apps or ROM. I charged 100% at 12AM night and sleep with 3g data on, when I wake up in morning after 8 hours batter left at 46% strange. The radio of this cell phone is consuming too much battery. I never experienced before. However, I greenify all apps before sleep.

Please help me to solve this issue, as I previously use LG Optimus G and when I charged full and 3g data on when I woke up in morning the battery was about 84% left.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
On the first install of the rom, have you selected all battery consumption tweaks? Also check if there are not any apps active on the background by going into recent apps --> tap the pie button --> active applications, if there are any, stop them. After making a call or have listened to music (with rom default music player), it could be that the apps are not completely closed. I have noticed that most of the time those are the ones that always show up in active applications (music and incall UI) after having used them.

Could be also your battery being weak maybe, not sure.. I have selected all the battery tweaks in Aroma on my installation and im having great battery life, sometimes up to 2 days with normal usage, not even using greenify from what i think that its not even needed, but thats my opinion of course :)

Some of the S5 apps are big in size and also consume more battery then the normal apps, but even so, it should not make that much difference like in your case. You can always download any other battery app and see what is causing this huge battery drain. In settings --> wifi --> advanced, make sure that you disable ''always allow scanning'' which also consumes a lot battery.

Hope this info can help you out.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Yeah i took a look at the rom and seems very nice indeed, I will try to port the whole rom, but i dont guarantee anything, if i succeed and get permission from its developer, i will publish here on new thread hopefully if i come that far.. :fingers-crossed:

Did you read this? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/differences-gt-i9305-n-t-variants-t2104265

I have i9305T from Australia and just flash i9305 ROMs for the phone to work in my country (Poland).

What do you mean by "the radio of this cell"? Did you check it with Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats or anything similar? I found you that when you use torch in your lockscreen (you can enable it in display settings) it creates a wakelock PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock. I used Wakelock Terminator to get rid of it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] akkay1:
Thanks for the details, however I have selected all battery tweaks in AROMA installer. There are no active applications that are running in background as you mentioned I have checked there is only facebook that I have closed. I am right now charging my phone again :( when I'll be 100% than I install better battery stats app and than share the results. Actually I dont understand the battery stats shown by apps. However, I'll post screen shots from where you can better identify my problem and then you'll be able to tell exactly what should I do.

And yes, may be my battery is weak, but 1st I need to check system of my phone. If there is any system related problem than the same should be fixed 1st and if still issue persists than I'll spend some bucks to get new battery. The support you're providing, is really appreciated. Thanks soo much.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] akkay1:
Dear All,

Below are my battery stats screen shots, please check and suggest what should I do, is there any fault in system you can see in screen shots and kindly suggest accordingly. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
I dont fully understand the way this betterbatterystats app works, but as far as i can understand from the pictures, most of the draining is caused by facebook related stuff and the famous mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock, whatever that may be :p Im not sure what i can advise you here, maybe someone that understands this better could help you out in a better way :confused:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] akkay1:
Alright Thanks Bro, will ask in QnA section.. hope someone will understand and guide me the same.. ;)

Hey MaHo have to say love this ROM.

Just have to ask I have flashed this ROM on son and daughters Phone sons seems to be going great daughters not as good, but

nothing serious, I am just wandering if in the Aroma menu if i selected different items has anybody compiled a safe selection to pick from that Aroma menu, well a general idea any way THANKS.:D
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] strom87:
Facebook and whatsapp are known battery drainers. Try removing facebook first and see the difference. You can always use facebook messenger only and for the rest login to fb via web browser, my wife does it and she doesn't complain.

For further battery optimization check what keeps your phone awake under Partial Wakelock tab.

You can also use Wakelock Detector instead. It's more user-friendly and has direct Greenify buttons :) if some wakelock is a mystery for you, longpress on and google it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] akkay1:
Alright, thanks for the suggestions and yes you're right the whats app and Facebook are really a huge battery drainers. Will try wake lock detector and share the results. Hope I'll be able to manage my battery drain :/
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
The only culprit is the stuck mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock. This was for me (and a lot of people) a BIG BIG problem since Android 4.3.

Android 4.1.2 was not concerned.

And now Android 4.4.4 has no more this issue from my experience and also from others's one.

Android 4.4.2, has the issue, I also had it with Community ROM in the past.

The only fix is to upgrade to a ROM based on 4.4.4 or to live with this issue by rebooting the phone when mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock is stuck.

Maho, have you started working on that project? Any progress os far? I would really like that rom, and i could offer you my help if you tell me what to do. Like testing, bug reporting.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
I have started yes and finished the porting, but cant get it to boot no matter what i do, i hate this bro :( Thanks for the offer to help, but what i need is someone who can tell me what to do or willing to help to get the rom booting first..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] zimonyini:
What is wrong with booting exactly? When does it get stuck?

If you send me the ported roms download link, i would test it on my device, in the current stage.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Stuck at bootanimation, cant get past it, cant get to the installation wizard, im guessing something to do with framework maybe not being compatible, i dont know, it makes me mad man!!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] kenar2:
It's very very hard port stuff from 4.4.2 on 4.4.4. I think we have to wait for official S5 4.4.4 , then maybe it'll possible.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Hey kenar, this is another rom not 4.4.2 its 4.4.4, and im using our i9305 official XXUFNI3 that you made as base, everything goes oke during aroma installation till i get stuck @ bootanimation :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] zimonyini:
Can I try it? Maybe find something interesting.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
I need to upload the rom then, but there is nothing to test if we cant get it to boot you see, im now not at home but i will upload if you still like to test it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] zimonyini:
Ofcourse, I'll do some searching in the topic, wanna try a few things out.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Allright, but i remember now that i got mad after having tried to make it boot for more then 10 times :p and it could be that i have deleted it, i will see and let you know later.

EDIT: sorry bro guess i have deleted it, it becomes a mess at some point sometimes and your head is dizzy because of so much reading and thinking while porting, but im gonna give it one more shot and try it for last time starting from the begin, if i still cant get it boot, ill stop spending more time on this project.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] akkay1:
Thanks for your reply and guidance, I am also thinking to move on AMCHA ROM as you're using. I need to fresh install that ROM what are the exact steps should I follow to full wipe my device and install a ROM as a fresh start.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
FRESH INSTALL FOR NEW ROM

In recovery do these:

- wipe data factory reset/clean to install new ROM

- wipe cache partition

- in mounts and storage --> if you prefer to wipe internal SD (recommended! remember to make backup if you have any important stuff here) --> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

- in advanced --> wipe dalvik cache

now flash new rom ;)

Well, so much for the note 4 port! i think i bricked my lovely i9305 while trying to make things work with the note 4 port :(:(

not exactly sure what went wrong but my i9305 was doing nothing but freezing and rebooting by itself all the time, so i flashed back official 4.4.4 with odin and now phone freezes always at the beginning of the setup wizard, i guess i was doing things way too much over my head and all i got is now a dead i9305, nothing works!! :crying:

ohje...believe me I can verify how you are feeling now...had a semibricked device too the other days.....I had a different problem, but also had difficulties to solve it. After trying some different stock roms, I found one which was working and blew new life in my S3 :)...If i remember right it was the latest original stock 4.3, so ota or something like that. I think I grapped it from there and I took a vodafone version for my country. For you it could perhaps be: http://samsung-updates.com/details/28298/Galaxy_S_3_LTE/GT-I9305/VDF/I9305XXUENC1.html

Thanks bro, definately not cool, cause this is the only phone i have, im afraid i messed up big time this time, only way for me to turn the device off is to take out the battery, flashing official fw doesnt help as i cant get into the rom to flash recovery and try another custom rom quickly, also device cant be recognized by pc so i can push flashables to external and try flashing like that, pretty much FACKED UP.. :( though i appreciate the help, thanks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Thanks rodman, but as you might have read already my post above, flashing official fw doesnt help, getting stuck on the setup wizard and im already on 4.4.4 bootloader so cant downgrade to 4.3, im stuck in every possible way that comes in my mind
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
Yes I read this in the meantime....sounds not good....and also no connection to pc anymore?...ggrrr...can you connect via adb? Perhaps that so you will get the possibility to do something to an on your phone...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Nope tried that, adb also not working :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
This is where the phone freezes, just when i want to select wifi or skip that part it gets stuck.. also i dont have mobile network as you can see, dont know what to do, besides maybe buying another phone, which i can not afford at the moment.. :(

anyway thanks for trying to help.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] chongc1996:
Hmm, what about flashing recovery right after firmware with odin? Then you might be able to get in recovery and flash something, possibly custom kernel or something. (the other thing is that your battery might be old, that could be causing bootloop. Check to see if it's bloated! Seems like s3 batteries start dying around the 2 year mark :p maybe earlier depending on usage. )

Maybe try flashing the other 4.4.4 rom(there are 2 currently right)

Just throwing random suggestions out here.

Hope you get your phone up soon!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] limnaln:
Yeah, you can try rooting and flashing an AOSP rom. Also, your s3's usb may, just may be broken cause i've got that problem when pc didn't detect the phone :/
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
I might be able to flash the recovery maybe, but still i cant flash anything in recovery if i cant push a rom.zip into sd card, cause everything is wiped when i flashed official 4.4.4 I9305XXUFNI3, I had my backup and some roms on the internal sd for just in case, i guess I should have left at least one kernel or rom.zip in external sD too, cause the external sd doesnt gets deleted as you also know when flashing with ODIN.

I dont think that it is by any chance related to the battery, cause in almost every rom i had as daily, i never had any batt drain or other batt related issues, the freezing and random reboots started the 2nd day that i flashed the ported note4 to test some stuff and possibles fixes (at least i was hoping that some of my ideas would fix things) but never expected it would end like this :eek:

btw i tried both the 4.4.4 officials already, no luck again..

thanks for your suggestions mate, im gonna see if i can get a recovery flashed right after flashing ROM first.

EDIT: Got philz installed, now only need to find a way to put some flashables on the sd card, but even then i fear this issue will remain with anything that i flash, though i hope not!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Cant flash any AOSP or TW custom rom, cant get in the rom. I dont think anything wrong with usb port, ODIN gets recognized but pc not.

Soooooo yeah..... :silly:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] limnaln:
Then do the steps through odin.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] chongc1996:
I assume that meant mounting extsd in philz didn't work.

Well if you had an sd card reader this would be a piece of cake. No other phone at home /family members that you can use to get ext sd read and write a rom to it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Hi [MENTION=5784234]MaHo_66[/MENTION], bad bad news....

I'm sorry to ask this silly things but I would really like to help you:

- First: you said you can't put files into your EXTERNAL SD CARD through your phone. Why don't you remove it from the phone and use an external reader (or a computer built-in card reader) to copy files with your computer ? Then you should flash any zip files through custom recovery.

- Second: when I recently flashed my i9305 with official KK I9305XXUFNI3 with ODIN, I've discovered that it didn't full wipe the phone automatically. So, I had to do it manually (data, cache, dalvik, system and internal sd card) after this upgrade through custom recovery. Just try to do full wipes with PHILZ and retry... Maybe it should fix something...

As you already know, if you still can enter download mode, there are lots of hopes.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
[MENTION=5484498]chongc1996[/MENTION], [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION],

I thought about the method described by chong yesterday, using another phone to put some flashables on it but didnt try it yet, im now gonna do that using my sisters phone, i think putting some roms on it will be ok but getting past the installation wizard without freezing is my concern, lets see how it goes..

And FLooDW, you are right about ODIN not full wiping the system, but im aware of that and thats why i do it manually always before flashing with ODIN and i have done it many times with both 4.4.4 roms, but always freezing at install. wizard.

hope some custom rom can bring my s3 back to life :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Got installed liquidsmooth, no freezes but i have no mobile network, no IMEI and also device still not recognized by pc. Im gonna try some other roms and modems etc. hope i can get mobile network working if there will be no freezing with other roms.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Yeah about AOSP ROMS (like LiquidSmooth) I think that latest official 4.4.4 modems don't work. You have to use previous 4.3 modems. Actually, it was the case for me before I switched on Official KK base. Maybe it could have changed in the meantime, dunno... I hope you will restore your baseband.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
I think youre right, I installed my elite rom and got freezing again, did a full wipe and format modem too in recovery before flashing but still also no mobile network, guess my efs partition is screwed too :( So TW roms freezing and AOSP roms no mobile network, man o man what a bummer!! Well im gonna try some other different possible solutions, maybe installing elite rom again to get 4.3 modem XXUEMK1 installed and then try AOSP rom again or another 4.3 rom, hope i can get some good results.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Did you try to boot TW rom without your external SD CARD ? Maybe it's corrupted and it could explain freezes...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Tried that just now but still the same, always stuck at wifi selection
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
As you said, it seems that EFS partition is corrupted. I think both "Lost baseband" and "freeze on WIFI setup" problems are linked. As you probably know EFS partition contains wifi/bt mac address and your IMEI.

Maybe that LiquidSmooth doesn't handle the same as TW on WIFI setup screen, that's why you doesn't have the same bahaviour... Don't know....

With LiquidSmooth, you haven't got freezes on setup but is WIFI working well ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] MaHo_66:
Yep im thinking the same.

No freezing with Liquid and Wifi works well, only mobile data not working, which also makes the device unusable
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Maybe EFS partition is

partially

corrupted.

EDIT : Will you be able to restore ?? Do you have EFS backup ?
