One last question, for now :p

Exactly, which file did you used ?

ROM 1 - JIAYU S3 - Update 05/07/2015 - Flash - http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/S3S-20150507-083407-FL.zip

ROM 1 - JIAYU S3 - Update 05/07/2015 - OTA - http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/S3S-20150507-083407-OTA.zip

That is the description, has no download link.

I'm guessing the second one, since you did the update using Wireless update > Local update option. I just want to be sure.

Thank you very much.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
From my post, note the OTA so use that version , other one needs to be flashed from a computer.

I used this version

Update ROM 1 - S3S 20150507-083407- mt6752_h560_s3s_jyt_cc_128-24_kk_lte_5m-cs_tphone – KTU84P – Advanced – 3G Ram – no gapps – Multilang OTA

Thanks, Link2SD doesn't see my sd card, "Link to SD card " button is also blind. What is 2nd linux partition on sd card? How can I create it on my sd card? Is tehere any way to resolve it?

Sorry, I'm an inexperienced user..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kengoor:
Install aparted app from gplay. First create fat32 partition if you need it for pics mp3s etc., then create ext4 linux partition and that's it :) then you will able to move apps data to your microsd card :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Restart fixes it for me, it happens quite often after i shot a picture it couldn't read it on sd and couldn't write on sd most of the pictures couldn't be seen also. .. Restart and it's all good one more bug to fix with the ota i'm wayting for 2 mounts (s3w 20150325).

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] motanbigcat:
Thanks a lot for your help, I installed the app, my sd card is already in fat32 form there are some pictures and mp3 inside, should I format it again as fat32? I arranged the situation as seen in the picture below, I choosed "ext2", because I read so somewhere which has the using explanation of Link 2SD app. Should I change it as ext4 like your advice?

[IMG="SD Format"][/IMG]
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kengoor:
You can leave ext2 no problem. Backup your stuff from sd, delete all part and make two new partitions. Both should be primary partition. First fat32 and then ext2. Good luck :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] motanbigcat:
Thanks, I haven't seen anything to choose the kind of partition as primary, is it coming after pressing the "Apply changes" button?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
FYI: link2sd needs pro version to link data, free version already links app, dex and lib
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kengoor:
I think it only supports primary part. Please tell me if you where successful :)

Sort of worked.

Flashed ROM 1 - JIAYU S3 - Update 05/07/2015 - OTA from needrom

All apps are OK, custom recovery is gone, gapps are gone

Flash TWRP from needrom, XDA and teamwin page - it's the same file, actually - cannot read internal memory, only folders like system, user..... no mnt, no sdcard folders. There is no touch interface, only volume up/down usage.

Install Jiayu.es app > install TWRP > touch interface.

Flash 3 different gapps: from jiayu.es, slim gapps, pa gapps signed 4.4.4 - force close errors very often, cannot add google account (there was a problem communicating with servers).

Clead data and clear cache for all (I think) google apps and services - same problems.

Wipe dalvik, dalvik cache, cache - same problems.

Do a complete factory reset, all other apps are gone, but gapps finally working !

Keyboard lights - working the same, turn off after a few seconds - maybe this is the correct function.

Video recording - testing later today.

Thank you for all your help. I will coem back if I have other problems.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
That's the way to do it. If it doesn't work,

You don't have jiayu s3

Your power button is broken

Your volume button is broken

You're doing it wrong
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] pwatkins:
You need to push both buttons firmly and SIMULTANEOUSLY. On the J3 you can easily do it with one finger. If you push the volume down so that it starts to register the volume change before pushing the power button (as you would do, for example, with Ctl-C in Windows) - It won't work!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Usually this means you have a module that is not getting along with your ROM or another module and it is filling up the log. If you go in to the exposed installer, you should be able to clear the log. Or use a file explorer, find it, and delete it.

What is the reasoning behind the decision to lock-down the 'JiayuControl' app's compatibility to only allow it to operate on Jiayu.de ROMs, whilst the kernel itself can be used on any ROM? Seems pretty counter-intuitive. As in, offering a 'custom' kernel that one can't customise, unless we have purchased an S3 from a specific branch of a company!

guys i am really excited, got the s3 3gb with playstore installed. can anyone advise me some things that I should do first to improve the phone? would really appreciate :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] medsharo:
My Experience with S3

I received my phone 3 weeks ago from banggood, I used S3SW 20150314, and now i use S3S 20150507, I don't notice any problem.

I used SP flash tool to install S3S 20150507, you can use this link to download the firmware http://www.needrom.com/download/jiayu-s3/.

I install the gapps, you can use this link to download the gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603544

to root the phone i use a custom recovery and flash the Supersu zip

You can use CWM from this link http://www.needrom.com/download/cwm-recovery-6-0-5-1-jiayu-s3/

or TWRP from this link http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-2-8-6-0-recovery/

to flash the custom recovery create a new folder, copy the scatter file to it from the downloaded firmware, and copy the chosen recovery to this folder, rename the recovery to recovery.img. use sp flash tool to flash it. (You can also use flashify or rashr from play store if you use native root function)

download Supersu from this link https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, copy it to sdcard and flash it from recovery.

to block Advertisement I use MoaAB from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098, to flash with recovery.

to add init.d support watch this tuto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9qtwvLIl-c

Working Apps:

LBE Security Manager

Foldermount

Xposed with Gravitybox and XMultiWindow

Kernel Adiutor (To underclock and change kernel governor)

I use Quickpic as galery and NEC plus camera, I record video with a good quality 720p and 1080p

I hope this help, and enjoy your phones

it was only said in jest my friend...i know all about mediateks ridiculous non open source crap...the idiot's,as for your kernel...dragondevil kernel if i am correct...am already a user it's a great kernel...so big prop's for that,(i just cannot get the jiayu control APK to work 'white screen'),so it was mentioned earlier that jiayu.es also have the source code and kernel sources...it's odd that they are only porting roms rather than building them from scratch...a shame maybe that's why i cannot get superSU to work in their roms,they only allow kinguser

and as for chinese copyright...haha...they should be the last people to pull that **** on anyone...the ammount of cloning going on over there and the **** they get away with using mediatek software...i bet they do not chase those cloners down like they did you...to much profit involved

There are companies out there, ie efox, coolicool, pandawill, etc which don't pay European taxes, and then sell the device for the price we pay including taxes.

Because I don't want to work for free, we needed to find a way, why people should buy in our store.

I still think it's better to lock the app, then the kernel.

I bought mine from a company in France, so I did pay the eu taxes etc. (I live in hungary), and I did not even know about jiayu Germany until after I bought it.

possibly you could charge for the app a small amount, if I could see what it did, but many thanks for the new kernel.

also I have in the past bought from pandawill, and I have always paid the vat for my product.

Click here for more details*, I also notice none of the secrete codes on this thread works on it, pls is this the fake or ROM issues, every other tin is perfect..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Fair enough, it's absolutely your prerogative.

However, if your goal is to ultimately drum-up more business and direct people to Jiayu.de's webstore, would it not make more marketing sense to offer the JiayuControl app with Jiayu.de branding and/or ads, links etc., as then anyone that uses the app will know who created it and where it's from, thus elevating people's awareness of your company?

By just offering the kernel itself, this really does nothing for your businesses' marketing as a whole, as there's no front-facing branding to indicate where it's from, or who developed it (apart from the kernel version info in settings, which accounts for very little visibility).

Basically, the more people that use your branded JiayuControl app, the more people that will be aware of Jiayu.de, and hopefully (for you) buy from there!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
In an ideal world, this would be working, however, I think there aren't too many people who bought at jiayu.es because of the roms only. I may be wrong with this, but then there's still the "problem" of European guarantee. If you live in France for example, and something breaks, let it be a speaker, you send it to us, we repair it for free and send it back. Then we have to pay two times the shipping. At this point, we would not have earned anything by selling it to you :(

This is why we are focusing to the German market for now, and in German forums every one knows about the fact (app not running, etc) and advises new users to better buy in our store.

It's a bad situation, because I am very open to development and sharing (as you can see in my threads here on xda), but this only can be changed if people buy there devices in official stores like jiayu.de, jiayu.es, jiayu.it, jiayu.pl, etc...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
This is absolutely understandable. I for myself saved a couple of euros but regret doing so and not supporting you guys.

Chinese vendors can sell so dirt cheap cause they pay no taxes, do not have the same hassle with support, do not give guarantees and have no shipping costs. They provide you the hardware but as soon as something happens nobody cares anymore where european resellers wouldnt leave you by yourself...

Hi

Concerning the kernel itself:

Its open for everyone to use it. :fingers-crossed:

And i (we) wish everyone can benefict from it.

We could (easly) closed the kernel to run on Jiayu.de Rom only, but Nevertheless we wish everybody can benefict from it.

( despite all the efforts are being made by the German Store, as you may know, there's costs involved on this. )

Also, its very rare to find a OEM (or official representative in this case ) to offer such customizations, and being user-friendly, and listening to their customers.

There's a lot of work on the kernel, that people asked us to merge, and we are working with the community to improve the user experience.

Jiayu German, could be a Bit## and close the kernel for their customers only, i.e.: Allowing the kernel via Jiayu.de OTAs.

^^ This is my own opinion

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pirex69:
I respect your position and jiayu.de also.

As one of those buyers that did not knew about official seller in Europe I would like to beg for a simple highlight for how can be the basic advantage of having dragondevil kernel without the app.

At least this could help the rest of us to understand what we miss ??

Next time I'll buy it from DE store ?

Is not jiayu-store.com a company store also?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mrsim:
i am inclined to agree with other users...a simple choice of donation should suffice in order to be able to use the APK...either by a paypal link here or as an official app on playstore...this APK should be free to all...if your work is that good then users will donate...and believe me..the dragondevil kernel...IS THAT GOOD...that i and many others would have no problem donating to jiayu.de or any of it's dev's

also whatever happened to the spirit of XDA...since when did profit become an issue in regards to development...???

people donate to help with server costs and also because they value the talent that goes into development for others to benefit from,do not take this the wrong way jiayu.de but this smells a little like cyanogen.inc

there are hundreds if not thousands of developers here in the forum contributing their time and effort's on donations alone...so to not allow users who may have bought this device elsewhere,(before the jiayu.de dev team started working or publishing their work),to not download this APK...seems a little...wrong...yes we all appreciate that you have allowed us to use the kernel for free...but to claim that your reasons are profit based alone...just wrong...

this is XDA DEVELOPERS,there is a reason for this community being so big...it's mainly because of open source projects and dev/user input...advance your reputation...not your bank account's..as profit will surely follow if your work is good enough...

as another user here pointed out...also advertise your product in the free version or offer the ad free version for a small donation...pretty simple and seems to be the normal thing for android in general
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sedj:
Regarding the jiayu.de kernel, say I was to have purchased my S3 from the store and then used a custom rom would the APK still work without white screen??

If not are you not restricting the customers to stock roms in order to benefit? It's good there is development on the kernel but looking forward more performance gains would and should come with a 64bit OS.

No [emoji20]
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
I really like the way you are thinking, I was thinking about the same, and as the matter of fact I suggested the same to superdragon today . We are all aware of the fact that software/firmware is important as much as hardware, and we are as well aware that chinese entry phones like Jiayu just (still) don't have time/money/knowledge to give us device with premium quality (like Jiayu S3) and hardware and also include top notch software on it (even though they did really good job).

So, please [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] consider "opening" the ROM and software for donators of any kind. You just name it. I bet many people are willing to do so!

Anyways, I really like this thread and most people here for it's kindness and being helpful, and to you two guys, thank you for being open minded, reasonable and for all the work you did to make JY S3 even better device.
