[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Once BusyBox and the Viper Driver are correctly installed, you must restart your phone for the changes to be applied. Following the restart, you still need to enable Viper for each of the sub-systems it supports, Phone Speaker, Headphones, Bluetooth etc. Also check the 'Driver Status' is set to 'enabled' in the main menu area.

Once enabled, you should hear the difference straight away. Best way to test if it's working is to play an MP3 file via your Phone Speaker and then open Viper, and then change some of the options, such as the 'eXtra-Loud' and 'Speaker Optimisation' - you should hear the changes immediately. Adjust the settings to your liking and then repeat this process for all the outputs you use, headphones etc.

If you don't hear any difference, it might be that you're using an incompatible version of the Viper software. I actually had to use the version below the latest release for it to work with my S3S - this is the version I used: FX version v2.3.3.0 (Android 2.3~4.4). You might also want to try a different audio application, as some applications use their own built-in equaliser that may override the Viper output.

Best of luck!

Do you use it yourself?

Is it stable? (as far as a beta rom can be stable) and does it have ota?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Did all that in the begining and tried both versions, maybe it because of the poweramp app thats i'm playing music from probably it uses its settings. Thanks. :good:

P. S

Does yours wanted busybox instaling.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Maybe try to disable Poweramp's equaliser, or redirect it to use Viper instead - I had the same problem with PlayerPro, but was able to swap equalisers/DSP to Viper within PlayerPro's settings.

Yes, BusyBox is required during installation and is nothing to worry about - most Root-level apps use BusyBox, in-fact some have their own built-in versions preinstalled, Titanium Backup for example.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Thx, i'll try to change the poweramp equaliser priority.

Rebooting start again twice today, hope they come with stable rom soon. :mad:

Is it possible to be because of the busybox installing or the viper4android.Befor that i had one week with no rebooting.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
I am using the most current version of Viper4Android.

2.3.4.0 (FX) Codename "Beautiful".

Forum sw support and download links (links to links) are at => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

As part of the install procedure for Viper4Android u must install Busybox and when prompted give Busybox root (SU) priviledge so Busybox can install the necessary sw driver it needs. All of this is laid out during the installation procedure and I mention it so there are no surprises.

BOL
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I've had BusyBox and Viper installed pretty much from day-one and have never had a reboot. To find out the exact cause of the reboots, you'd really need a LogCat at the time the reboot occurred and then have someone knowledgeable look over the data for the source of the problem. This is a popular LogCat app.

If you were using a custom ROM, you'd normally submit the file to the developer of the ROM and they'd look into it, but if you're using a stock Jiayu ROM... well I wouldn't know where to send it in that case I'm afraid :( Maybe one of the nice gurus here might take a look at it for you though!

One thing to perhaps try is replacing the kernel with the new 'Creative Kernel' from TF. I've been using it since it was released and find it excellent just using its stock default settings. Might be worth a try.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
I am NOT the best person to explain this but for Android phones (really any computer) the only way to get a complete backup is to load special dedicated sw app BEFORE Android loads/boots to copy ALL files for a complete backup.

This can be problematic for phones because there are so few keys for the app user interface to run the backup/retore app. I got the app CWM-TF from the juiya.es (Juiya company supported (Spanish only) website with their own system sw app - I would install this app too) and loaded it on the phone.

To access CWM-TF you must hold the UP-Volume key while you cycle (push and let go) the ON/OFF button. If you hold the DOWN-Vol key while u cycle the ON/OFF button you get some Chinese pre-boot system app and ALL menu items are in Chinese. As I do not read Chinese I take out the battery so I don't pick a menu item to wipe phone or something like that. I hate to remove the battery (power fall phone) but untill soemone explains how to safely exit the Chinese boot app I have no choice.

BTW think of this procedure on boot like when you kept hitting the F10 key while booting your PC so u could acces bios. Not the same but similar.

CWM-TF allows backup to your micro sd card. It does not tho allow any naming of the backup files. It just lists the backup files and the system date at the time of the backup.

Good Luck.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
System SW Upgrade Available

I have a S3A and am at ROM level (is this the correct term?) S3S 20150324-194940.

I have been prompted by the system today that an update is available. It downloads fine and the ROM OTA version # is S3S 20150411-154516 dated 2015-04-20.

The ROM update runs and reboots but never updates the sw version level (version # stays 324) and re-asks to download and update sw.

I have root turned on in the Android Setting menu and have several app using root like xposed framework.

Do I need to do something special to get this new ROM sw to load?

Is this update worth the loading hassle?

Are there issues with version 411 and it is better to stay at 324?

I got to 314 via OTA that downloaded and loaded without a problem after a reboot. I believe root was turned on when phone did the OTA update to 324 but not sure. Can anyone confirm if root access was allow for the 324 ROM update to load?

S3A phone came with S3S 3GB/NFC version without gapps. I installed Google apps (Playstore, etc.) using the sw and instructions from the Juiya-store webstie under the webpage tab NEWS.

Does this mean I can only get S3S updates and not S3SW (with gapps in ROM) updates?

Should I move to S3SW ROM from S3S as I will always want Google apps like playstore?

Is it a hassle to move from S3S to S3SW?

Is there a detail instructions on moving to ROM S3SW from S3S?

TIA.

Bricked phone

Hi guys,

Can I get some help please.

I downoaded Rom S3_NewUI_0330线刷包（高配可用）(from memeory it was from the Jiayu site) and attempted to install it with flash tools.

I installed drivers, selected firmware upgrade, oaded the scatter file, hit download and plugged in my phone that was off.

it didnt like this so after a couple of efforts I selected format and download.

It came up with an error message and now the phone is cactus.

I get no charge light but windows does make a noise when I plug it in.

anyway to instal a rom and have a working phone again?

Thanks for your ideas/help

Should't it be better to ask on the Xposed Thread?

From the pictures it's data (a lot of data)

Either you have a lot of modules, or one of the modules is taking a lot of space (means its not fully compatible)

Also, check that you don't have any left overs on your external SDCard from xposed framework or any other modules there

It's also an good idea to check the Xposed Logs...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] CRULLEX:
Hi guys... My jiayu s2 basic yesterday started some fault..

Whenever i make calls.. My voice can't be heard by d person am calling

But i can hear what they say clearly..

Av factory reset n even flash frm flashtools.. Yet same problem persists..

I downloaded mic tester to test d mic. Yet again d mic couldn't pickup ma voice..

But wen i do voice recording or video shoot... D mic picks up sound.. But when am answerin calls.. People can't hear what am sayin..... Pls hw do i fix dis.... Tnks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I believe the S3 has two mics, one used for direct voice (lower mic) and the other primarily used for noise cancellation purposes (upper mic) - perhaps the lower mic is faulty, hence why callers can't hear you, but when you're using the phone for recording video, its then picking up audio with the upper mic only?

It could be as simple as dust lodged in the lower mic, so blow into the mic opening and see if that makes any difference. Compressed air (in a can) is great for this. You mention that you already tried a factory reset and a reflash, so it's most probably not a software issue - just make sure you're reflashing with the lastest ROM version to give the phone its best fighting chance.

Failing the above, you're probably looking at a hardware fault and will have to log an RMA with Jiayu for repair/replacement I'm afraid.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Then, as others suggested: try to flash stock ROM.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] CRULLEX:
Tnks will try the compressed air trick. Hope it works..

New Custom ROM

New Custom ROM released today on NeedROM called "Volcano Rom" by Xancin if anyone is feeling brave! Haven't tried it myself, but it appears interesting enough, and as always, it's great to see more development for this phone in general!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I really appreciate to see the development in the device and the custom roms. Hope the developers manage to build stable roms, and not abandon them just after the "porting" lol
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
LOL! Yeah, it's great to see new development - now, if we can only get our own XDA sub-forum... :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
No one has had this issue? Prior posts discuss turning off root in Settings to allow OTA ROM updates yet details were unclear to me. This was done to "see" if an OTA was available. This is not my issue as the phone knows there is an update, does the download and initiates the install and reboots but the ROM never updates.

Also discussed is re-installing all apps, gapps, non-playstore apps, etc which is not desireable on every OTA.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
Is porting so much easier than doing the same stuff on a stock rom basis?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I've never had an OTA myself, but I remember reading somewhere that the Recovery and/or Kernel have to be stock in order to complete the OTA process. As-in, I don't think having Root access enabled/disabled is an issue.

Following the OTA flash, simply reflash TWRP/CWM and/or Creative Kernel (if previously installed) as desired.

I'm sure one of the guys on here that successfully completed an OTA will clear it up for you though if the above doesn't work :good:

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Honestly couldn't tell you, mate - sorry :(
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Perhaps it is a stock rom, adjusted and repackaged.

It mentiones 'Odexed' but people would perhaps want 'Deodexed'.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
yes, it is. Basically you just copy+paste some relevant system files, which are hardware related and different between devices.

I never have been interested in porting, hence I don't know how much time it takes to port a rom, but I am sure it is much less time consuming than patching stock.

Hi

Im sure the full potential will come on the next OS Build...

KK, doesn't allowed several things (ie.: 64 bit)

Also about the ART: What people don't understand is that the ART (on KitKat) is Experimental, some OEMs, didn't even included ART on their KK tree and builds (i.e.: some LG devices, SamSumg, etc).

That's why it is located on Android misc options on user space (i.e.: Settings> Dev.Options), and its aimed at the advanced users...

Camera Hall, should be also updated and improved with the new OS, so as, several other things.

About the current KK builds: Im sure they are being improved, wait for the next OTA ;)

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] monakh:
For the people whose phone is not turning on

I have found that there is a bug in the S3 which sometimes (seemingly) bricks the phone. No amount of battery pulling, or keeping the power button pressed can turn this mofo back on. Well, through trial and error, I found that if you keep the power and volume up button pressed at the same time, and insert the USB cable (preferably through the PC so you can hear the ting sound of a device being attached), you will boot into the boot menu (it's too small to read but recovery is an option). Just choose one of the options and you can, at some point, boot back into your ROM.

As an aside, the build quality on this phone isn't bad for $200, but it's still lacking. The power button needs to be literally wrestled with (depends on your phone, I guess, not all will have this issue) and at least on my phone, the display isn't a 100% flush on the right side so there is a definite light bleed from the LCD. It's not too bothersome but I hope it doesn't result in dust under the glass, at some point, since I live in very sandy and dusty Middle East!

FIRST OF ALL - Flash a custom recovery and get a nandroid backup. This is always the first step. You can download the Jiayu.es app and through that, get CWM or TWRP custom recovery. Once you have made the nandroid backup, you can worry about updates.

For updates - Try needrom and get OTA flash zips.

I installed CWM custom recovery from jiuya.es website so I could do full system wide backups. I beleive installing CWM has stoppped the OTA from completing even though it was from the juiya.es company website.

How can one have CWM or TWRP to do full backup and yet still allow their phones to do OTS ROM updates?? <= Do not know the answer to this question.

Hi all,

I want to do my review of the S3, however have a few concerns - here's an email I sent to PandaWill (reseller in China who sent me the device for review):

"I've noticed a problem with the s3 phone: it will randomly disconnect from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for a short period of time. I've tried to debug it but it happens too often. I also notice that Google maps and dolphin browser force close for no reason."

Their reply:

"I felt sorry for the issue, Jiayu didn't fixed the bugs with the stock ROM, in this case you need to a new ROM and flash the device on your own, check this: http://www.needrom.com/download/s3s-nfc3gb-ram-2015-02-13/ "

There's another thing I've also noticed - where when you click on one of the quick-tab shortcuts found in the notification panel - it doesn't always enable/disable properly. Reboot solves it, but it's annoying.

Can any of you guys give me any insight?

Help will be appreciated :)
