Thanks for the advise. ;)

The problem ain't the how to do it.

But I know that "our" developers don't change things without a reason.

So it may be needed for the next releases?

Cheers,

The CWM brought with RC4 only flashes OTA packages, it doesn't flash custom things like SU binary or Xposed. Unfortunately I failed replacing the recovery with TWRP using Mobile Uncle Tools.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] JohnGR71:
If I remember right, in the last RC there was TWRP as recovery included.

The recovery in this RC seems more like the stock recovery.

thanx.

btw: thanx 2 SD & DT for the support
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] trollex:
see my post above.

I confirm xposed is working on RC4 and all the other extra's where zips needed to be flashed as ex: dab_r6.5

Sorry, I didn't mean to change recovery... In fact I didn't change it... But there's a file on system (recovery_from_boot.p) which replaces any installed recovery with stock one :(

Please reinstall twrp, then directly boot to recovery, mount system, and then use integrated twrp file explorer to delete the file from above

What twrp do we need I've tried flashify and jiayu.es. to be honest twrp is new to me I've have always used cwm on my other devices, so with this phone there was always a app that did it for me.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] hargitomi:
As it has been said above, the one which is integrated in the RC4. Step by step:

1. Download flashify to your phone.

2. Copy "recovery.img" from your computer (and from the RC4 of course) to your phone.

3. Open Flashify, recovery image, choose a file, and install it.

4. Automatic reboot, then Mount and tick System (i dont know that). Then file explorer in the twrp, system folder, and delete the recovery_from_boot.p file.

Done.

Currently no network to flash RC4 traveling with only 3G here.

Could someone check if enabling Navbar make the Security menu on settings to force close?

On Rc3 it happens, If I add navbar to the Rom, security FC.

I know our phone is not supposed to have navbar, so also not necessary to our rom to fully work with it, but I like navbar using it for a while [emoji14]

To enable, just add in build.prop:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Reboot and go straight to Security on Settings, check if a FC occurs, Thanks!

to disable just delete the line, or put a # in front.

Hello Superdragon, I mentioned this earlier also.

With later modem-versions I get alot of connection-failures due to signal lost.

Example is: my telephone is on the table doing nothing...without any sign the connection drops and after a couple of seconds (10-20 seconds, dont know exactly) the signal is coming back. This happens alot and since I use it also for my work I prefer always signal than a newer modem.

Maybe it can be solved, i dont know. I use Dutch KPN-3G network, suppose to be for 2G 900/1800Mhz and for 3G they use 2100Mhz

I know , but still puzzles me why that specific modem build works any different?

That same modem build was used for many afterwards official builds, there's no changes from what I know, its the same modem build,just with different compilation dates.

Rc4 haves a brand new modem, there's no explanation for that odd behavior.

Did you tried the rc4 modem for some time and test/check his signal and features?

Give it some time...

Good news is that rc5 will have another new modem ( that extends the capabilities of the current rc4 one) this is the very latest MTK modem for this device.

Great job about camera in RC4.

I tested it in daylight scenes. No more stupid water color effect.

They are just over exposed but the picture I took was in hard managing mix of sunny and shadow object.

Even HDR was a bit over exposed but the result was good, given that I took the picture without any hard support (you shouldn't move the phone while shooting)

I think setup wizard should stay, as on most stock android roms, in order to allow people to setup their device standard way, but, perhaps, it can be be made optional to help people/devices having problem with wifi connection.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bernie_W:
New battery

Yes in my case there is improvement. Had two stock batteries (one original, one bought from Jiayu.de). Ordered two more, one Konpson and another no name, with even more capacity.

In my case it turned out that this no-name from China has the largest endurance (3600mAh). My Konspon seems not to be very good as it drains more fast than the stock battery.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] frulex:
Well, after 2-3 days of use if Konpson battery, I can preliminary conclude that it is slightly better than original (10-15%) so it is probably true capacity of 3400 mAh. I still haven't done some thorough tests as I charged it twice overnight at about 40% so still didn't do full discharge yet...

Hello [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION],

Greetings from Porto!!!

Thank you very much for your hard work (and DerTeufel1980's).

I have one doubt...I use an app, which you may know (MeoMusic) and I use it to listen through Bluetooth to my car! Can you tell me what version of AVRCP is running on RC4? Because it would be very nice if the song info and cover could be transmitted to the receiver!!

I thought that the problem was on the app itself, but I tried using the app in my wife's xiaomi and the info is sent as expected!

Can you take a look when you have time? It's not urgent, or a bug, but it would be a nice feature!!

Thanks in advance!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Are you sure ?

When will we ever see a stable release?

I guess the 3G 900mhz band issue (that is actually pretty severe) needs fixing first?

How likely is it that that issue will ever be solved, and on what timescale?

I love this phone, but I don't want to go back to kitkat and I don't want a phone with that band missing. I'm slowly starting to think about getting another phone.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Vinnie1:
Dead S3!

Cut a long story short, fitted a new screen after original one smashed. This was alright for a couple of days until it too cracked.

Fitted a new one today, added tempered glass, new battery, and rubber case.

When I turned it on, I had the sim lock 'Privacy Protection' prompt as the sim cards had changed (even though they had not). Tried all my pins I could remember, and I was sure that my pin was 6 digit, but could only enter 4 on the prompt screen.

I then though about re-flashing. I was on the original RC4 and could not get in to recovery, so I went back to my laptop to download some firmware and meanwhile put the phone on charge and saw the red LED lit up.

Prepared flash tool and noticed that the LED had gone out on the phone.

Then I realised the phone had bricked, could not get the laptop to recognise it doing the usual plug in with the battery out, then adding the battery to start the flash. The power button also does nothing, no matter how long you hold it in for.

I have opened it up again to check the USB board and everything else is secure and connected.

Will have to try and get a new main board, one on Ali at the moment for £55, so if I buy this, I would have spent £70 on two new screens and £10 on the other bits. Its a great phone with top Roms from the guys on here, but I may have to move on!!!

Going to try my old battery which is at work, but not holding much hope out for that.

Any ideas.......???

Actually it is up to Jiayu and Mediatek, and maybe other OEMs to put pressure on MTK in order of they publish a new Baseband with 900mhz fixed.

Hi guys, I just received my Konpson batteries and I'm overjoyed. Gotta start testing them now. Whooohooo ?

For those of you who are saying that 900MHz 3g is broken, I'm not sure if it is.

I went to engineer mode, unchecked WCDMA-IMT-2000 along with 1900 and 850, and chose just 900, and I'm able to see the network (I'm not using that network as I didn't get the sim) on the 900MHz band. Actually that's the only operator providing 3g on the 900MHz band in India. Rest are using 2100 for 3g and 1800 for 2g. 4g is on 2300MHz band 40.

So what problems are you guys having actually?

If 900 Mhz frequency was broken, why am I able to find the operator in that frequency?
