Yes, I do support. But I don't think nor his nor M.A.D. Team work are suitable for your needs (read your needs again). These products are for other users. Besides I don't want you to blame me if you suddenly experience any problems with these ROMS, possibility of this is higher than on KK.

Please, refer to madOS/LineageOS/RR topics, for example. There are posts with users problems, but these problems don't solved. Yes, only small part of users have this problems. But they aren't excluded at all. It's not a place here to start a new discussion.

Main advantage in LineageOS13 - better camera. At least, not as shtty as in 7.

Wrong conclusion. Answer is obvious: I don't see sense to move to outdated OS with all data/settings/applications transfer. Spending several days to move and you don't win nothing. Has no sense.

Personally, as many times was told by me, I'm also in need of stable and reliable ROM for everyday needs and, whats pity, still can't find it for our phone. Please, take in mind that 2 years of active ROM development have passed for our phone. 2 years, 3 Android version was builded, many hours was spended. Great minds is working on. Yes, I'm very grateful for all developers for their effort. Yes, you can use theirs ROMs with limitations. But this limitations aren't acceptable by me. So, again, if you want reliable ROM as I need, stay on KK.

Yes, because we fixed it about half year back on cm13 [emoji1]

The changes we made are not working on android 7... But it's always been a minority of people who had this issue... And it seems to be depending on router (setup) and/or neighbor WiFi, because same people who reported those issues also said, that there's no issue in other WiFi networks

I can confirm that !

I got These WiFi Problems only With 7.x.x. Mad OS...

But also only if more than 8 Networks (neigbors, etc.) Are availible ... (Got 18 in some rooms)

Then i have to wait 3 to 5 Minutes and WiFi gets stable and connectivity rises ...

But in LP, it was never a Problem With many Networks...

So, it isnt solved but i can live With that...

This phone doesn't has art libraries... When choosing under development options art Java VM and after reboot cpu-z still shows java VM as dalvik
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aszu:
Yep, ART does not work on this phone (at least at the current KitKat ROMs). It only 'pretends' to work (dev option shows ART), but behind the scenes Dalvik is still used.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

To anyone considering this phone, just quick summary of my experiences after a few weeks of ownership.

GOOD:

- display quality! - good viewing angles and I love MiraVision engine, after boosting saturation and sharpness a little bit and reducing color temperature so it is closer to neutral (6500K) the display looks really impressive

- ROM experience close to stock Android after some tweaks: just change the theme to 'System', install Google Now Launcher, change DPI to 380 using Resolution Changer and you have a really nice ROM without any bloat

- performance is more than enough for anything you throw at it - fast and smooth interface

- battery life during normal usage - browsing, videos, etc (but not in standby!) - 6 hours of SoT is definitively possible

- strong and stable mobile signal, quick signal recovery / reacquisition after loss

- decent headphone output - easily on par or even better than on Nexus 5

- surprisingly good camera and flash with decent control - does not 'overblow' images - possibly a benefit of 'dual tone flash'

- build quality is OK - nothing spectacular though, but price to quality ratio is outstanding

BAD:

- charging is slow - at least 4 hours (sometimes closer to 6) from empty to full using good quality 2A charger. Additionally, realtime batter current value is not exposed using standard Android API (BatteryPropertyCurrentNow), so it is hard to monitor / debug charging process. MTK Tools provide some way to access current amp data, but it is quite flaky.

- device is plagued by multiple kernel wakelocks in standby - mostly EINT WAKELOCK, WLAN timeout, md1_cldma_peer - disabling WiFi completely solves most of them (but NOT setting WiFi to sleep when screen is turned off - this setting does not do anything - even after disabling location scanning - and wakelocks are still there). The result is about 3% of charge loss in standby per hour with WiFi on. This is a flaky Mediatek kernel problem and I just hope Lollipop kernel is going to be more refined

- compass is almost useless, very inaccurate, 'floating' readings (Nexus 5 - spot on readings all the time with one degree accuracy)

- headset speaker is quite terrible, flat sound with a lot of popping and it is often hard to understand the other person, 'stereo' speakers are equally embarrassing as well

- ART does not work (just pretends to work in dev option, but Dalvik is always used)

I am still happy with the phone - for the price the quality is unbeatable, but it is quite frustrating that most of the issues could have been easily solved by spending literally a few $ more on a better quality parts (speakers, sensors, more efficient charging circuit) and just properly tweaking the kernel and software part.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] freemind11:
Problem: Via the "all apps" I had opened the Google Services Framework and accidentaly I pushed "clear data"

Since then, when I try to install an app from my computer and the Play Store, it doesn't recognize my device.

It has only my old device's names, so I cannot choose S3 for downloading.

Any thoughts? :rolleyes:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adridu59:
Then again, the charging is capped to sth. like 900mA so using a 2A charger does not change the situation.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Levered:
Yes, that's right.:angel:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aszu:
It is, but the bundled 1A charger cannot even reach that (it does more like 700-800mA) - only with better charger you can actually reach the cap.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Paradelle:
Nice summary [MENTION=2205042]aszu[/MENTION], and I agree with pretty much everything. I guess the only thing I would say is that if they spent a few more dollars on parts, then we would have to spend more as consumers. The beauty of this phone for me is the screen, camera, and speed for next to no money especially when compared to the latest HTC/Samsung etc
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nggies:
Hi all, i have notification OTA update.zip for S3 Advance. I download it but i decided to install later. I found the update zip on root partition and moved it on sdcard. But when I want to install using manual install, its failed. It says "your system damages and the wifi bla..bla..bla"

After that i change all custom kernel and recovery to the original. But still can't.

Is there somebody help me to solved this problems? With right steps atau changes the OTA update.zip to be "flashing" file? Thus I can install it with TWRP. Thanks a lot.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aszu:
I have got 2GB version of this phone.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Correct, but I would be happy to spend literally 5$ more on the device without those odd 'cost cutting experiments' - and this is quite frustrating, as it would be a true 'flagship killer' in such case. Now, when someone asks me if I can recommend this phone, I say: 'Yes, but....' and it is sad that such potential was kind of lost.

I am also not impressed by the kernel quality - wakelocks, some random reboots, flaky battery meter (got fixed in the latest OTA). I am not sure if this is results of those weird 'hardware customizations' done by Jiayu or is it just Mediatek not being able to provide decent kernel for MT6752. I just only hope that the current kernel is a kind of stopgap before lollipop release they did not invest much effort into it - hopefully Lollipop kernel is going to have those annoyances sorted.

Still, really like the phone :)

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

If you feel adventurous, you can extract the update.zip file and modify update script so it prints all the 'inconsistencies' / 'corruptions' it finds. Then you can either fix them by replacing files from the untouched ROM or in most cases just ignore them by commenting them out from the script. This is what I did, as upgrade script did not like a few irrelevant APK files on my system image.

Encountered the same problem. I'm afraid the ROM file was not copied completely. Phone is completely dead and I have tried some 20 suggestions/solutions, but without any luck.

To those who experience random automatic shut offs...

This is a known issue. But I think there is a way around it: BATTERY CALIBRATION. But this is not the common battery calbration we know about. This already worked for me at least twice. If the process is repeated at least thrice and the issue is still not resolved, you might consider changing the battery.

DISCLAIMER: I don't really know what's the science behind this but this really works for me. I've tried other Calibration methods (i.e. full charge - full discharge) but nothing stopped the automatic shutoffs. Only in this method did I experience the magic. ?

Here are the steps:

1. Install BATTERY CALIBRATION app by Nema.

2. If the phone suddenly shuts off with significant amount of battery percentage displayed, DON'T CHARGE IT YET. Turn the phone on again. Use it until 1%. If it shuts off again even before 1%, turn it on. Repeat until you reach 1%.

3. Fully charge your phone. DON'T TURN IT OFF. Let the phone be plugged for 30 more minutes even if it indicates 100%

4. Open Battery Calibration app. Press START CALIBRATION. (The app requires root access.)

5. Unplug the phone.

Simple as that. Please give feedback if it works for you too.
