Yeah, maybe you are right. It could also mean like %d h remaining. :)

I'm tried to find simpliest word to describe this, but I failed. :D

Thanks, that worked for some apps. However some applications cannot be disabled, for instance File Manager or is there a way? :confused:

CM Report - 2nd day :cowboy:

1. Today connected my phone over the USB (default: MTP) to a PC running Windows 8.1 (work). Whenever I tried copying file/s it kept saying Access is denied, however I could open the files. Stock Android worked fine as well as the other phones I tried today. Just to mention I have full admin on that PC. I solved the issue by setting phone to Mass storage mode (UMS) however that unmounted SD card, so if possible I'd rather use MTP. Although on home PC running Windows 10 everything is fine using MTP. :eek:

2. Flashlight - Is there a reason for delay when turning flashlight on in notification menu (pull down)? (something like 1 s, but I'd still prefer instant). Thing that is really buging me is that flashlight turns off few seconds after locking the screen (only when phone is off charger). That seems to be a bug, because once you unlock the device it will display that flashlight is on, even though it really isn't.

3. ACR call recorder - after every phone call I get message that it was unable to record my call. I don't know if there are some settings that I should change, but stock android worked with it straight out of the box. I'm to lame to play with settings now, so if someone has got a solution, it would be really helpful. :fingers-crossed:

Other than few tiny issues I'm really satisfied and still impressed by UI smoothness. :D

Only two days ago I was occasionally checking web shops to buy a new phone. Now I'm looking for a ways to improve this one. ;) Probably I could use a new battery. Two years of use surely did some wear, not sure if its possible to check wear % like on laptops. Bigger SD card, 64 or 128 GB. :cowboy:

Thank you very much for this ROM

I have some problems i like to share

some times things got slow ! delay when i press home button , SwiftKeybord take ages to appear

There OpenGaps installed & Nova Launcher Prime is used

When i open Chrome , it take 4 sec to open ,

Facebook is Very slow which is not the case on Cm 10 nor 11.

When i touche the url Keyboard "SwiftKeybord " Take LONG time and some time i type with now respond form the keyboard it self and after 5 sec keyboard start typing what i typed 5 sec a go !

device memory :

#-----------------------------------#

system : 391 of ram

Apps 366 of ram

free: 108 of ram

#----------------------------------#

I dont know how can i help by debugging, but as daily use it is good but there is a slow respond which is why I did move to this rom to kill the SLOW for ever .

As i understand this rom made by the DEV who made "[KERNEL] [AOSP/Samsung/Ports] [ArchiToolchain 5.2.0] [01/10/15] ArchiKernel V2.1"

So there is no need to flash ArchiKernel V2.1.

I discovered a way to place multiple apps into one quick access (name?) slot. So I created a alternate menu only with items I need. Therefore I'd consider this question/suggestion solved.

I was so used to ES File Explorer and I didn't know better. I gave a chance to File Manager as well. At first I didn't know how powerful it is and I really like its simplicity.

One graphic issue is bothering me though, everytime I lock and unlock phone file list flicker once. Same happen if I open txt file with the default editor and close it.

Q: Why we are unable to set "Editor" as default app for .txt files?

Ignore this, for some reason it decided to work today. :eek:

Some other thing/issue I noticed:

Pressing volume up/down makes volume control appear on screen. During its timeout you cannot pull down notification bar. I'd suggest to place it a bit lower that pull down work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrescm:
Little heads up in case someone experiences the same issue: I have a 4x1 Google search widget and every time I opened it, it was very, very slow. Many times I would type things and they'd appear a few seconds later with missing letters. I grew tired of it today, so I manually uninstalled the app using Titanium Backup (it was a system app) and then installed the app again from the Play Store. Problem solved, now the widget opens in a flash!

I used OpenGapps nano when I flashed this ROM, I don't think it affects other Gapps varations too but I mention this just in case.

I think your Search App just had gathered a lot of data over time, and a fresh install of the app did clear the data and made it fast again. You could try (next time) to just remove the App Data from Settings -> Apps (you'll lose a lot of your Google settings though!)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrescm:
Thanks for your response. I didn't think of that, but I have to say that the install is only 3 weeks old and I do searches using that widget or Chrome once or twice a day, not much more. And the sluggishness had been there for about 2 weeks. So I don't think this was a matter of data size. We'll see how it behaves in the following weeks though ;)

I didn't have problems with the audio output enhancement that [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] made.

unfortunately he removed it and reverted everything back to default in the new builds

is there anyway we can do it ourselves ?

a file to flash or copy to system ?

the audio output is low by default

thanks in advance.

Did you try blowing the usb port of the phone? If i'm not mistaking there is an acidental resistance in the usb connection. If blowing doesnt work use a fine brush.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lifers:
I'm not sure these changes have improved anything. Almost any app that does something complicated, particularly displaying embedded web pages, now self-quits with out of memory conditions. It could be worse since this update, although it could be app updates getting more complicated.

New Nexus phone only has 2GB of RAM (if it had 4GB I would've bought it). How is it that they're selling a new phone with 2GB and a 1GB phone causes most apps to OOM.

(I've reimaged my phone, not restored from backup, everything reinstalled from scratch).

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hayabusa_XDA:
Well I complained about V18 working worse than V16/V17 under heavy background load.

So after using V19 for some time now, I guess it only fair to say that V19 seems to be a good one again.

Performance is quite impressive for this old phone and even a major (at least for me) i9300 CM11 bug is solved in CM12.1. Latest Stagefright is fixed, you can say this phone is up to date as of now.

So even if this V19 were the final firmware for my S3, I would be very glad to use it.

Great work.

I really have to say _big_ thx to JustArchi, CM crew and everyone involved for making this old phone still useful.

Thing that is worrying me the most about current build is that flashlight turns off everytime the screen goes off. I doubt that is in CM in general because my friend has some xperia and his flashlight works fine with screen off.

It doesn't matter if I use default flashlight toggle or any other app, behaviour is always the same. If that got fixed, I'll be more than happy and consider this ROM stable. :D

I strongly disagree with you calling it "unstable as hell". I am using it as my daily driver and have only a few issues which have been reported already and the devs are working on it. (Keyboard and Settings>Mobile FC)

Over all it is way smoother than the previous CM12 branch, but if the previous works for you, why dont you just go back to that? Instead of accusing the devs of lying (when they clearly are doing a brilliant job and get little or no thanks for it)

Weekly 1 rocks!

Just wanted to share a good experience.

Flashed over 5.0 Weekly 10 (April 1 release). Worked like a charm.

This is what I did:

1. Booted to TWRP (2.8.4) recovery.

2. Used advanced format to format system, dalvik and cache.

3. Installed weekly 1 ROM and mini slim GAPPS (http://104.236.22.120/gapps/lollipop/5.1/)

4. Rebooted. Got the no sim card problem. Possibly something to do with charger being connected?

5. Rebooted again, all good!

BTW I have stock messaging disabled since 5.0 because of frequent fc's. I'm using Hangouts for SMS without problems

Asphalt 8 was crashing without an error message in 5.0, this stopped now! Yay! :good:

Correction: Asphalt 8 still crashes. Maybe I will do a clean flash...

Tested camera, g+, fb, gmail, spotify, endomondo, high accuracy gps all looking good!!!

Great work devs!

Rom Review ( Weekly 1 )

I have been using the ROM for 2 days now and i feel this is the most stable Lollipop Rom for S3/( Gt-i9300)!

Positive things:

1. Latest Android Version.

2. Great Ram usage!

3. Battery life is improved. However, on Boeffla kernel you might not see the improvement.

4. Smoothness at it's level best.

5. Chrome is no more restarting.

5. Facebook app works flawlessly.

Minor bugs I noticed

1. Going into the mobile networks tab gives me a force close.

2. Clicking on CyanogenMod version im About device and clicking back make the system.ui force close. ( not a big deal)

Well, that is all i think!

Cheers developers.

Also, Antutu benchmarks attached. Huge improvement there also!

This is a known issue on the i9300 on basically every lollipop rom. Good luck finding one without it.

If you're brave, you can get $cripter (play store) and my work-around hack:

https://github.com/fluffynuts/i9300_hax/blob/master/toggle-flash.sh

You $cripter can run the script. You will need root as it writes to /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash . I bind this to run on double-tapping my home screen (Nova launcher; I'm sure others can do this). Trust me, I've tried a couple of LP ROMs and none have this fixed, mainly because CM won't fix it and no-one else has given it a go.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] QuietusPlus:
Just a heads up. I tried the boeffla kernel to see if performance could be improved but have now reverted back to default (wiped dalvik, cache and system). My phone was lagging way too much, now all seems fine again, not sure if things improved due to wiping cache though.

As far as build 19 is concerned it's pretty stable. Performance is good enough, considering the age of the SIII. Only fix needed was the Bluetooth workaround, posted within this thread, due to soft reboots when connected to my car stereo.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PiniponSelvagem:
Strange... Using boeffla kernel here and it seems better to me, if i OC to 1,7Ghz on antutu i can get 31k score easly, XD... But ya, you need to play a bit with the settings to get the desired performance/battery you want.
