I've been beta-testing the xtreme rom for more than 1 week (on my 2Gb jiayu s3) and after testing I can tell you:

no battery bug

wifi working (wifi-n and wifi-ac)

4g working

bluetooth connection with android wear and car kit working.

Camera working.

Smooth rom, no lag.

Call quality OK.

GPS working (however not accurate, just like in all other roms including stock and/or kitkat)

stagefright detector: not vulnerable

So no issues/bugs....
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Abijeet:
I had this issue which is now fixed I think (although like others have reported, I am getting network drop-outs now and not getting as good as signal as moto G. )

The WiFi issue automatically fixed for me. I think after connecting and disconnecting a few times it has stabilised.

Edit: I just had a WiFi dropout but it's been the first of the day that I've noticed.

me also no battery drop using xtreme 1.1

I will full charge and try again tomorrow
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Again.. Read back and instructions were given. While the force close is up on the screen, pull down your notifications and then settings... Go to app settings and find launcher3 and clear data.

Or you can do it from the recovery, boot to recovery, use its integrated file manager, find launcher3 data dir (/data/data/com.(something ending in launcher3) and delete that directory.

That doesn't seem right... Beta 8 when charging from 80% the battery gets 1% every 10 seconds. So in 3min and 20sec it gets fully charged from 80 to 100%, according to Battery Stats app.

Hey all,

I'm on beta8 and cannot get MTK Droid tools to recognize S3 in Adb Interface mode. Maybe my drivers aren't good? So can someone please share for win7 64bit?

Also, is there a way to convert recovery (TWRP) zip backup to SP flashable ROM?

For [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] I have conducted some battery logs. I hope it helps!

Now I'm trying method of completely discharging phone through recovery. It had 0% when I turned on phone. I hope it will recalibrate battery like some people here said. Will upload battery LOG as well.

But someone has leaked his work, when was supposed not to do so, and now he won't accept donnation anymore.

Shame to the ones who didn't respect that guy's work.

Just because of that i must sell my phone, as i can't find a good rom.

I would really like to know.

P. S Is the anyone whose graphics of the battery shoes that the wi-fi is always on, no matter that you switch it of and there is no service...?

Quick comparison Deutschland vs Español

Hey all, I have flashed xtreme by tfandroid just to see what they did and I will give quick comparison to beta8.

I uploaded few photos so you can compare. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B30hfarCYx5McmE3ZkV1UjdrSnM&usp=sharing

Xtreme ROM v1.2:

Pros:

-Snappy and no stutters at all

-Rear camera seems nice when there is enough light

-AOSP look and feel, animations and overall "pleasure" while using ROM is just nice

-Rear speaker is a killer now, no sound "breakage", sound is clear and has enough bass. And it is so loud!!

Cons:

-photos seem zoomed in

-Video has shadows and doesn't look good (I took "night video" but in some light shown shadows and traces as well)

-Front camera is a shame, really really bad

-Night shots are wahsed out

Jiayu De Beta8:

Pros:

-Much more great and usable features (cannot thank you enough for clock/time/weather/calendar widget!!) :)

-Both cameras are pretty good

-Front camera is perfect

-Performance is great, even though I do feel some tiny laggs sometimes

Cons:

-video is really zoomed in

-Battery life (even in this few minutes of testing and comparing, xtreme seemed to drain slower, xtreme maybe 5% drop, compared to almost 10% drop in beta8, for almost same job at max brightness)

-Sound (bot only compared to xtreme, overall nothing to complain)

-Physical buttons are not as responsive as on xtreme (i think it's due to advanced feature of harware buttons, which I would rather have then snappy buttons! :) )

-tap to wake is not as fast as on xtreme

--------------------------------------

Overall, both ROMs are nice.

But if you ask me I think "Made in Germany" (and Protugal) is at the level it should be.

Spain is not bad, but they work on other things, which are great

I want to say that this should never be a competition but rather two diverse ROMs with different things to offer for different need of people.

But things like camera, performance, sound/call quality should be topped at both ROMs. :)

Great job both teams, keep up the good work! :good: :highfive:

Cheers,

Bruno.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
And this bug occur because of MTK codebase, was present in some other MTK devices as the Bluboo X550, that was already fixed.

Jiayu China is the one in direct contact with MTK and should claim for the same correction or direction, If Bluboo that is a "smaller" company with less support did, they can.

Also community side, DerTeufel1980 and Superdragonpt have much more experience with MTK coding, but superdragonpt unfortunately don't have this bug, so can only wonder why this problem occurs, and I guess Dominik is trying to debug it alone as he probably have the issue :/
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
When the next release from jiayu china comes, most of the bugs will be addressed as they did with their 0917 release,i remember they were the first to enable 13mp full screen camera. But that is a big WHEN. Also since tfandroid are their new official software devs, its hard to say

Do you want to stay KK or go LL, Beta 8 LL is very close to being a Release Candidate, only real issue is a Battery bug which seems to only affect some phones, you might be lucky but you might not. As soon as the Battery bug is fixed then LL will be the best option.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
Hey man - thanks for the quick reply!

Well LL seems ok - what is the battery bug though - seems I saw a few people reporting a sudden drain in battery - is that correct?

If Beta 8 is the best version right now - where and how can I flash it safely? I'll do it today as I have some time :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
The battery bug is the sudden drain at 20% or so. If you have a spare battery then its a non event.

I cannot post the link to the file but you can find it by entering jiayu.de s3 beta 8 into google search where the forum the link is posted in will come near the top of the results.

You will need to flash it using flashtools and the right PC OS drivers using the firmware upgrade option to preserve the IMEI.

I will be waiting for Beta 9, use the phone for work and my KK is very stable.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I think I might wait too then!

Just a last question - that forum is a German one - if so I've found it!

Hi, I found totally cool ROM (EXTREME 1.0). I tried it about 2 weeks (also XPOSED with gravity box worked). Now they did upgradge to EXTREME 1.2 (where are lot of fixes) and Xposed doesnt work anymore. I asked them and they told me that it dont work because they modified something what exposed using.

So, is there any other free app like xposed/gravity box? My main reason why I need it that I would like to change status bar - give Battery bar on the top + animation for charging, add date, change battery icon, change status bar colors...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
I do not agree

It's an unfair comparison , let me explain why:

We don't use any external "sound engine" (prebuilt)

On older releases (by checking their changelog) they used Maxx audio engine, and now they are using Dolby atmos engine.

Nothing wrong with that, since, it actually makes the sound "better". ;)

But (and im talking on my behalf only), i don't like to merge, prebuilt stuff (on this case, sound engines), and when i do merge pre-built stuff is only as an workaround until i get that specific issue fixed on source code.

becouse for me, it makes the "rom" feel like some kind of "mod / cook / kitchen" rom, and not compiled ... (but maybe im just too weird)... yes, i know i am... :laugh:

You can find these sound engines here at xda, so users can try by themselfes on germany betas / chinese roms

Again, this is not a competition, but let's evaluate things as they are.

I actually like Dolby (been using this sound engine for years, my asus memo pad hd7 roms, have this for years... but, thats not a compiled rom ...)

I don't know who asked about deodexing the germany builds:

Not gonna happen (talking on my behalf)

Please do search what odex & deodex is .

I also don't like the idea of making the full screen rear camera as 13MPx

Maybe you don't know, but our sensor (and like most of 99% of android camera sensors) are for 4:3, by switching to full screen, your actually cropping the picture...

Please take a picture on 4:3 at 13MPx (native sensor scalling, res. point), and take another on full screen (will be at 9.5MPx) ... Please do compare both.

MPx means nothing

If i change that, and make the full screen at 13MPx, or increase the MPx by interpolation , i'll be making it even worse (please research this issue)

cheers
