hey guys,

i have been inactive because I was waiting for stable lollipop releases.. can you guys recommend me a rom? i have read some posts about an armageddon rom but I am not able to find it on the internet when searching for jiayu s3 armageddon rom and so on, so i would like some help :), also are there any tutorials for flashing the s3? havent found anything yet. sorry for the questions
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Tried Armageddon, but I didn't feel finished for my taste. So wait tomorrow when erfae will release a new LP Rom for our device =)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] shatter95:
okay thanks. will try it out then :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
Yes and I'm sure the TF released LP ROM (note not OEM or VAR release) will be well tested.

All open issues are well known. Looks like there is a work around for battery drop from %15 thru resetting bat sats tho.

Stagefright check on Lollipop 5.1 Unofficial build by superdragonpt =)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pirex69:
Me too
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
[MENTION=5804469]cmullen[/MENTION] : I believe you make a correct comparison. thanks. I also wonder what explains the price/quality factor. Of course the research and promotion does cost money and going for sub-top specs is an easy way out (because yesterday's top specs are today's sub-top). Personally I believe smartphones and 'computers' in general are far too cheap. Electronic devices have improved a factor 1000 while price divided by factor 10 in recent decennia. But simple things like bread or complex ones like fashion have instead multiplied factor 10 or even more.

If, time ago, the S3 would have been 400eu in stead of 200eu, I would still have bought it with its outstanding specs. In fact I did not even know a german reseller existed and the spanish one was 'sold out' so all I could think of by then was to buy from China. It was a good reseller there. And, as said, price was never my motivation, and never will.

Please wait to apply Stagefright fix on LP ROM.

It seems that it create some probelms about playing video with the device.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Truly sad times when people find it necessary to ask questions about ROM 'pricing'.

To OP, AFAIK there's only one entity developing for the S3 that charges for updates/ROMS - TF don't charge for their work, at least they didn't in the past and I'd assume that they won't for this release either.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cyberdejy:
As far as I can see the screenshots from the extreme rom differ from the one from July. I'm already running LL 5.1 from 13/08 and manually installed gapps, so why should I install the new one then if its nothing more than the rom from 13/08 with gapps . . .and gapps are no so hard to be installed after all.

Help with Lollipop Rom selection

Hi Guys,

I have a Jiayu S3 (3GB version). The phone is stuck with the kitkat (4.4.4) version it come with and no OTA update has shown up. Can you suggest a reliable Lollipop rom to install? I heard there are official lollipop roms but I don't know where to get them..

Thanks,

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
The baseband is dated of 31/08/2015

The front camera seems a lot better than other LP builds, my face is not blurred anymore while using it.

Miravision still being the ported version of another device, still gives glitches, I personally don't recommend using it.

Xposed v72 Official for 51, works perfetly, no kind of bootloop on it, I love Rovo \o

They've teasered the option to swap between storages a time ago. In fact the option is present, but it didn't seems to work good as is implemented in the Superdragonpt builds, the internal storage still being showed up as internal, not the case of superdragonpt when sdcard is show as internal storage.

Cool, seems that you do not have to use flashtool, just right away from twrp.

but i doubt that it does all the partition stuff from there, right? if you come from kk . . .
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
GUYS Please caution!

You still can't use TWRP if you're on KK!

There is available two versions.

For KK and SPFlashTool, if you is in KK, you must flash the SPFlashtool version with Firmware Upgrade version!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] albin88:
What didn`t work in previous lolipop roms:

- pink front camera - looks fixed

-movies on facebook (application crash on previous roms) - looks fixed

-xposed installed without any problems and reboots

Looks like this will be first fully usable lolipop rom but I have to test it for more time for say it for sure... :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I'm really missing the swapped storage. The option in this ROM under personalidade settings seems disabled and can't customize it at all.

Good to know is that now Google now shows up the option to say okay google in any screen.

The lost of battery memory still present.

Reboot and you loose all the counts.

Edit: It seems they have forgot to fix the screen flickering issue. The fix is available for those interested just flash it in recovery:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ivivdim:
Is this ROM multilanguage?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ercea:
The swapped storage is a "to do" he he, it appears in the settings menu but it's not functional yet. In future updates will be present and functional ;)

I wonder, when coming from s3s 5.1 20150714, if the data wipe is really needed? I feel tempted to adjust script and to try a dirty flash (only wipe system,dalvik and cache) ...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Andy31233:
So, my problems with the extreme rom:

- Battery percentage bug seems still present

- Something is wrong with the power prompt (in place of "screen" i have written "data network mode", but when i tap, it makes a screen, and when tap reboot, after it writes "screen")

- The modem is wrong: i have bad signal reception, but I solved it flashing another modem 5.1

- Someone tells about the storage swipe, but I didn't tried it

- Someone tells about not working mobile data: i can't try it for the moment because i'm out of mb :D

- System seems less fluid than 23/06/2015 stock version

- Gravity box not fully supported

- Brightness is not good, but it can be solved with the patch posted before

- Slow apps installation

- Stagefright not really patched

Hope they will solve those things. If not, i waited weeks for nothing.

Armageddon seems too bloated for me. Tried Xtreme but got back to unnofficial 01/07 build, havê the same problema of every ROM but it swaps storage and I'm too much used to it to get back to old style.

To be honest I guess we aren't going to ser any decent upgrade to LP, better than current availble Roms, until Jiayu provide a new update with fixes for the present bugs.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Agreed: what's wrong with s3s 5.1 20150714 that's not wrong elsewhere or not easily fixed?

Perhaps CM 12.1 effort result will flatten some discussion and give milestone improvements.

For me: stripped down s3s 5.1 20150714 is like AOSP and I like it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] stanstevo:
Actually it's a software issue, it takes 3times the time to fully charge in lollipop than in kk, so definitely it's not hw.

How comes no one is talking about the kernel, it was touted as a game changer
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bombilakus:
Not impressed with extreme rom but maybe thats just first feeling. i think it has worse battery life but still need some testing. there is one thing i noticed. on old rom my battery had 35c temperature on extreme its 40c. had some weird wifi drops but solved that with exposed. it has that low brightness bug but you can patch it. I need more testing but when i can see battery level dropping while im typing this post it cant be good.

Kernel has one more governor called interactive plus with fastest setting you get score of 47000 in antutu. The thing that kinda bothers me is that sometimes phone lags. For example when you browse system menus it sometimes takes 2 sec to open.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
How did you fix WiFi with exposed?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bombilakus:
I just lowered the interval of wifi trying to connect to availible network. not sure was it inside gravity box or wanam kit since i installed whole bundle of apps. i think you can change that inside mtk dev tool also.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
Does that fix disconnections ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bombilakus:
Nope it just makes you think its perma connected. But i restarted phone few times and phone looks better now (faster) but still battery is maybe issue. Maybe i should recalibrate it
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
Guess I will stay on KitKat afterall, still no good enough LL ROM. :/

I was so much looking forward to the extreme ROM, is it really that bad? Is ot the thing that "too much expectations always leads to dissapointment"?

I am also thinking about selling my S3 and getting Xiaomi Mi Note 2 since Jiayu still hasn't managed to recover from restructuring hit.

And it looks afterall the only person to save us all is [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] . I guess he is the only reason I didn't sell phone long ago.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
At what point you have set the WiFi to do scans? Actually it gets smoother after 2-3 restarts

After 2-3 restarts it gets really smooth. I have all for the first day and it works great. Just the off screen gestures are kinda lagging like all lp roms

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Currently on Extreme 5.1 ROM, and its way cooler... Getting better SOT, ROM didn't bootloop after flashing xposed when optimizing apps which is a plus, and I won't revert back to another ROM(my last one was LL Unofficial by superdragonpt).

For the sdcard problem, using xcooldroid for xposed, and its flawless... All apps including whatsapp are saving the data to the sdcard which is amazing.

And the ROM is smooth... Not facing any lags in the ui. I don't know what's with you guys, but I'm pretty happy with this one. Love that kernel tho... Seems like the battery bug is kinda fixed...

By the way [MENTION=5417241]erfae[/MENTION], you did a really great job with the ROM... Will donate soon... Currently I'm broke, and will be starting a business soon, and donating soon.

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION], you guys should probably help out TF and make this ROM successful.

Xtreme ROM

Speaking about my experience in Extreme Rom...I think front camera quality is the best in LL ROM's but comparing with KK it´s still worse. Battery autonomy is very good. I didn´t try GPS, Bluetooth or NFC. Wi-Fi and connection data are great (I´m not sure but I think my radio signal was stronger before installing the ROM). Xposed is working perfectly.

Bugs that I've found:

-When adjustable brightness is on sometimes the screen starts to flicker.

-When I play videos on facebook, the app crashes.

-Shutdown menu is malfunctioning, when I press reboot it takes screenshot.

So, keep the good work and I hope you release an update soon to fix this problems.
