You can't install any Lollipop Rom with KK Partitions.

That's already said a lot of time, and will always be this way. For LP flashing, you need a LP base already flashed in the phone, and a LP recovery.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Been using the Xtreme ROM since its launch yesterday and have to say it's an excellent piece of work - congratulations and very well done, [MENTION=5417241]erfae[/MENTION] TF Android Developers!

Phone, BT, GPS, Wi-Fi, Dual SIM all working perfectly. Great performance throughout, zero lag using the interface. Also, no malware or dodgy apps installed, so it's a very clean release too. I never hold much weight on Antutu results, but I ran it out of curiosity and achieved the attached results - not too shabby!

I've only encountered a few bugs thus far and hoping these will be resolved with a future update, namely:

1:/ Battery drain bug is still there, although it now kicks in at 15% instead of 20%

2:/ Slow charging bug is back - a restart doesn't help (which it did on previous ROMS)

3:/ Wi-Fi disconnects when the screen is off, even when set to be always on

4:/ MiraVision doesn't seem to be fully implemented for this version of LP

5:/ Most of the 'Personal Settings' don't work (greyed out), but I presume these will be enabled in future releases

All said, it's a fantastic ROM thus far and can only get better with time. Hopefully, TF won't drop the ball and abandon its development going forward.

Thanks again, TF! :good:

Edit: Just wanted to add that I would say a lot of people having issues are probably installing the ROM over a previous version of LP or dirty flashing. I personally like to give each ROM its best fighting chance, so I always use the FlashTools versions of any ROMS I try in order to have a full, clean canvas. So, anyone having difficulties with the ROM, and have dirty flashed, should perhaps perform a clean, fresh install via FlashTools and see how they get on. It's really not too much hassle if using Titanium and other backup utils.

You don´t need Win, run flashtool as root in Linux to avoid "com port" message.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

That´s not true for me. I have tested S3S-20150623 (LL), S3SN-2015-07-14 (LLNewUI) and now i´m on Xtreme. All three LL have the same charging time as KK, which is 4h for me.

The only difference is, that KK switches the red LED to green with 92% charging and LL switches with 100%.

stanstevo : I heard from a few ppl having problems with the USB sideboard. To confirm it´s not the same with you, you should test KK for charging again. Good luck.

Really? I had no issues running flash tool under linux. I did always run it as root tho (sudo ...)

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

I don't think fastboot works with mtk... though I know it can be used to lock and unlock the boot loader. I know it is next to useless in flashing stuff.

To repartition, you need to add 'parted' to your custom recovery. We came up with a script to resize internal partition sizes on some mt67xx phones that have split partitions (the ones that have a guid based partition table, so most of the new ones). You can check out this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-how-to-resize-data-internal-t3180978. [MENTION=4056517]HypoTurtle[/MENTION] is working on an aroma script to flash sp flash tool formatted ROMs based on the same principals.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HypoTurtle:
Yea I'd stick to using fastboot for just flashing boot/recovery.

My zip is essentially done for static SPFlash installs (no partition table changes needed) - have just added a menu to select individual files to flash and a backup option (saving files in sparse format). Test/Dev version discussion in sig. -- User version here. I haven't touched the preloader - will need a few people to check that if the header added to it is uniform/device specific or something else.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
Well when the S3 first came out the stereo speakers sounded real tinny - bad. The fix then was to load app Viper4Android and tweak Viper equalizer tone (boost base mainly) control until you got better sound. Posts thru this forum indicated however the speakers sound got better and was fixed with OEM KK OTAs.

There is also a microphone issue, which is solved by going into OEMs Engineering Mode (accessed thru dialing special phone #) and changing MIC settings. Just search this forum for *#jiayus3 character string for details, as special phone # has these characters.

Hi guys, as most of us running LP knows the MTP connection with PC really sucks in the current builds, So I've found a way to make the old "USB Storage" working again, maybe it was just disabled for me:

Step 1:

Download any terminal emulator in the Playstore, open it and type:

su

After typing press enter and

A prompt to give Su capabilities will show up, just give it.

Step 2:

Again in the terminal type:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

Press enter, wait 5 seconds and type:

reboot

The phone will now reboot, after it start again, just connect the phone trough USB, check the dropdown notification menu and a new option called "USB Storage" show up, click it to enable connection with the PC. This way you can easily manage your SDcard trough PC, remember that you still can choose MTP again if you want, and you can swap between those options freely.

49k is not realistic. Maybe they had a "special" test enviroment. I get 43600 with Xtreme, which i´m pretty happy with. You had

enough battery power during your test? Remember, LL reduces CPU Clock under 20-25% to save battery power.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
This =D

Antutu is just a scale, it don't say nothing about the real/day-to-day performance in phones.

And also can be easily manipulated by a lot of factor.

Understand that I'm not saying anything bad about Xtreme, Is one of the best and is not "invasive" as I think Armageddon it (I don't like when the Roms comes with some useless Apps).

But the Antutu points got by some users don't really tells anything about it. Cause to be honest, I still see the same FPS (in games for example like Asphalt 8) in every LP Build, it looks less smooth than KK.

Remember that the Snapdragon 810 can reach a higher score in Antutu, but it's a bull**** processor :P

I actually like Xtreme but that are concerning facts on it for me.

- The modem isn't good. Connection drops and take a long time to find signal after a reboot

- Battery drains really really fast, and this is not good in a phone that takes long time to charge. ( I have another battery so this flaw hardly affects me, but some don't)

Other things are Ok, didn't tested it more than a day. But I recommend TF to look in those particular two problems.

help with upgrading from KK to LP

i just recently bought the jiayu s3 and wanted to upgrade to LP.

installed the drivers correctly and downloaded the sp flash tool together with a official LP rom from needrom.com

i select the correct scatter file and also select Firmware upgrade.

then clicked download.

connect the usb to the phone(took out the battery from the phone for about 10 seconds then put it back in again.)

the flash was succesful and i remove the usb cable.

but here´s the thing, my phone response to anything. dead screen. it wont response to charging either.

so back to sp flash tool and format it but "keeping the bootloader".

and select another rom thats KK and flash that succesfully.

phone starts without problem.

If I USB connect to a Windows XP, I am told to have connected an 'MTP device' and S3 shows in Explorer with "Phone storage" and "SD card" directories. Perhaps you are referring to some other USB termination issue? I must agree: I never use Windows XP (I use Linux) and I had to dig up an unused Windows XP netbook somewhere to verify your statement :). So I gladly qualify as Windows noob, and, most probably misunderstood what you meant with "USB Storage" termination bug. For file transfert I mostly use scp.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Yep, I had the same error. Fixed it by uninstalling the 'Google Text to Speech' system app via Titanium, reboot the phone and then you have two choices thereafter - 1:/ Reinstall Google Text to Speech as a normal app from the Play Store or 2:/ Use the ROM's built-in Pico TTS text to speech engine (which is what I did and it's perfectly fine)

The problem is, that you need to install a driver first on windows, to connect in MTP modus. Unfortunatelly, USB Storage mode isn´t working on LL ROMs right now. That was it i was referring about. LL NewUI

claims to connect in USB Storage mode but terminates the connection immediatelly.
