thanks nice rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
When i use browser (dolphin) and put it in background no matter what app i use next whenever i go through recent menu to dolphin again it restarts and goes to the main page, i use boeffla kernel with max zram ON, so i think this rom has very bad ram management
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
This problem occurs only on that app? If so, is a problem of the app not my ROM problem.

it's very smooth like stock 4.3. i have never seen such a fast tw ported rom like this :D I faced these problems, please fix it:

-seem like if i enable message popup, when a new mess arrive message app force close immidiately

-i see a mobile network confirmation even i unchecked it in setting. You can ask Blekota to solve this, he successfully fixed this in his rom

-can you delete unused toggles like smart pause, scroll? it can be used and also make quick toggles like a mess, more sophisticated

- korean app called t store downloader still exists, you should remove it

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
Hi,

I really like this ROM, I tried all of the 5.1.1 ROMs but they all have problems with the camera and are quite slow.

This ROM though is really fast and I don't have any problems with the camera's.

I do have a problem with GPS, takes a long time to lock (switch off GPS and then back on solves that, it will lock in a few seconds) and after a lock it's very unreliable, dropping GPS signal, reporting wrong speeds or wrong location. Is this a v3 bug? I have to upgrade to v4, can I install it over v3 or do I need to do a full wipe?

Thanks for all your work, best s3 ROM out there in my opinion!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
Thanks... anyway I think that I've fixed GPS issues.

If you want you can flash without full wipe but the ROM will be slower than V4 full wiped.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
I'm going to flash v4 this evening, I'll keep you posted on my findings.

So far this ROM is the best I've used.

One small thing though, I always like to change de dpi settings slightly for me 285 works best. Everything is just little bit smaller and it gives me just a little bit more working space. I use the Texroider_dpi app for that. It works but but only the dialpad of the dialer doesn't change in size. Did you experiment with other dpi settings? Most other ROMs have it built in the display settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
Thanks :)

You can change DPI by editing build.prop, but I'll see what I can do

Problems installing ROM

Hi guys, im having trouble installing this ROM on my S3. I have the latest TWRP 2.8.6.1 i do a full wipe followed by wipe cache, dalvik, system etc, then i install the ROM file and it goes through the Aroma installation process. At the end of the install process i noticed in the log it says 'some symlinks failed', i then reboot my device but the screen is always stuck at the Galaxy S3 splash screen.

I can install any other ROMs (CM11, CM12, Samsung ROMS) fine without any problems, its just this one that seems to be a bit troublesome for me.

Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be and how i can get this ROM working on my S3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
Maybe is a problem of TWRP recovery... try to switch to CWM recovery.

Let me know if it worked.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hiteshjivani:
Can anyone point me to the latest version of CWM recovery for our beloved S3 please?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
I never use Cwm anymore, flashed many roms with twrp and never had any problem with it so I doubt Cwm will solve the problem.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hiteshjivani:
Same here, i've been using TWRP for ages and not had any problems flashing any ROMs except this one for some weird reason. I do all the full wipes within the recovery before flashing but for some reason when i reboot the device it doesnt go past the Galaxy S3 splash screen.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
Hi,

Just had the time to finally install v4. I had exactly the same error as you. Some symlinks failed and hanging on the bootlogo. Did a full wipe again, reboot, wipe again, then started a new install, same problem.

So, again, a reboot, full wipe. Before, I checked some options to install, this time I didn't check anything (you can install everything by yourself anyway later) and presto! Works fine now!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
Guys i'm sorry but i don't have these symlinking problems. I'vre tried to install again the rom checking all the options and I have no problems. For who has these problems and has TWRP Recovery try to change to CWM, that is what I use ;)

Hi luca, I have intalled v4 already, but head-up notification is not working. How to fix it??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
heads-up notification doesn't exist in 4.4.4, it was introduced in Lollipop.

I use the one below here, it even has more options and you can change a lot of settings you can't change in Lollipop. I had a Lollipop ROM on my s3 and I'm used to heads-up now, but 5.x.x ROMs are not very good on the s3 unfortunately

GPS fix is OK now. Within 20 seconds. But speed indicates 10-15 km/h slower than reality all the time, position on the map is accurate though. I never experienced this before! Anyone else with the same problem? Also, power consumption seems quite a bit higher than v3 but I have to use v4 for a longer time to be sure about that.

I can see after few day of use v4 is not good in performance, battery draining like hell.. Tried antutu got ~21000, in v3 it was little below 30000 :/ dont know what changed , but going back to v3 without appops ://
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
Sadly I have to report the same. Have my phone disconnected from power about 1 hour and 15 minutes and already dropped from 100% battery to 84% without doing too much with it.

So far I found the following bugs. I'm quite sure these can be resolved but we have to let Luca finish his well deserved holiday first!

- Installing via Aroma is going wrong with a lot of people, including me. After not checking any option it will install.

- Power draining really fast, on v3 I had many occasion with more than 50% at the end of my workday, I use my phone a lot so that's really good as other ROMs needed charging during the day or I was close to 10% or less battery at end of my workday

- Performance is noticably slower than v3 (which is really fast and energy efficient)

- Google agenda is not showing my main Google account and since me and my girlfgriend have a shared agenda (which is really really needed with 2 demanding jobs and 2 children) so I have no agenda at all now.

- When taking a picture with the Samsung camera app and open it from there will crash the camera (which restarts instantly and will work, it will never give a camera error which I had on a few other ROMs).

Anyone else found other bugs to squat?!

For now, I will go back to v3 as well, only big disadvantage of this version is the poorly working GPS. I wish I had some more knowledge on how to solve this kind of problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:
I'm really dismayed. I thought that this version works really good.

I'll try to fix this issues during my holidays.

As soon as I came back home I'll upload a new version of my ROM.

I also think that I will use V3 to build V5 with obviously some improvements.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
Hey, no problem, you obviously care a lot which can't be said for al devs here, at least you take the time to answer us.

Please enjoy your vacation instead of working too much!

I noticed also today, when I'm called, the screen stays black for a few seconds before you see who calls you, I had this problem also in 5.1 roms. This is a big annoyance. I many times picked up the phone to people I don't want! (Mainly customers who got a hold of my number illegally).

Basically, v3 was perfect for me, just take out anything Samsung and fix the GPS.

If I knew more, I would help you. But for now, I can only bug hunt for you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luca6701:

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

I flashed the zip in twrp, did nothing else.

I already notice the phone is much snappier, feels faster and pressing home button will let it go to the home screen immediately, before it was much slower.

Also I noticed the phone isn't getting hot anymore which it was before, the area around the battery got really hot.

Did an Antutu benchmark which gave a result of 23945 which is pretty good as I got less than 18000 this morning.

Well, let's see about the drain tomorrow then. I'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Francesco0301:
8/10 performance.

8.5/10 battery.

LukeRom V4.

im the only person that dont have any problem with this rom for performance and battery? kernel stock, im using greenefy, i can do 3.30/4 hours of display on, i can use the phone from 8.00 at 23/24 without any problem.

i've said all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
There seems to be a difference between different users. I clearly notice a big improvement after the fix Luca posted last night. I had my phone charged to 100% and it dropped only 5% during the night while this was almost 20% last night. My phone is also noticeably faster.

You can make a backup of your phone and then try this fix and see what happens to your phone, that way you can help Luca improve the ROM

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Neither a dev around (except the one who made this rom - Blekota and maybe some other) nor great in any way taking things without credits like that FM radio which supposedly is themed spirit2 radio.

Stock FM radio doesn't work on 4.4.4 and real devs have tried to fix that base bug - but in vain.

I have downloaded ROM and will experience my self.

Thank DEV for this ROM!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinz3nt:
Great you're happy. I'm happy too!

Ironically, without this init.d tweaks the ROM is (feels) faster, more responsive. Now I understand why my phone got so hot!

Did you check in your phone if Google Agenda is working? I can't see any of my and my girlfriend's appointments which is a bit of a problem, for now I use the webpage which works but not as nice as the aCalendar+ app I use. When I go into the Google Agenda app (all other calenadar apps use google Agenda data) I can't select any account and I can't find a way to add it manually.

Hello Luke,

First of all let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful ROM! Never have I seen a custom ROM which is so smooth, rich in features and without any glaring bugs. I'm running V4 with Boeffla Kernal now and these are a few bugs which I noticed (these were present in V3 as well):

1. Email app with MS Active sync - configures fine but does not sync any email. It shows the syncing icon, but mails are not received. This is a minor bug since I can always use Aquamail or similar email clients.

2. Casting videos to TV - Video app does not detect my TV which is on LAN (This works fine on other mobiles at home).

3. Gestures or Swipe on Samsung Keyboard - Though it shows the swipe trail keys are not typed. However this can be resolved by installing Google or any other third party keyboards

4. Smart Stay, Smart Scroll, Smart pause - does not seem to work

5. Unable to connect to some of the Bluetooth devices like activity trackers (I use Jawbone Up24) - I will test after re-installing the app and let you know. Bluetooth speakers, car stereo etc. works fine.
