So far so good, I have found the settings for root , but only after I have flashed Magisk in TWRP. I don't know if that was only my case, if not, maybe it would be a good ideea to edit installation instructions, not to do a DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET at the end.

Flashed also boeffla kernel and it seems to work fine with this release.

Too bad my Mi band doesn't show battery percentage in status bar, even if rom supports it now.

New file manager is nice and doesn't have any problem accessing external SD card "out from the box".

I do have a question for other users, have anyone installed Viper4Android or Dolby Atmos packages in Magisk? For me non of them are working. Dolby just quit when started and V4A doesn't even show in app listing. I have added the app from store, but still it requires drivers everytime it starts, even if were installed already and rebooted to take effect.

Big thanks to developers for this great rom and this new release.

Oh thanks , i disable it and the app worked :) :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
As appears from my posting history, I am a real admirer of this ROM. It provides stability, excellent memory management and is compatible with Boeffla kernel. Add to all of that there many different options available in crDroid settings to personalise the interface.

I am not a fan of Substratum and I do not have it on my device.

I do not use any apps which require root to be hidden. I accept that for many being able to hide root is a big plus.

To ensure stability of the ROM and compatibility of Boeffla Config App/kernel, I therefore uninstalled Magisk from v. 2.5 and replaced it with Chainfire's SuperSu 2.79 -SR3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MacLeod100:
Did you get problems with Boeffla using Magisk ? I did overheating and lagging :(

Seems like Boeffla and Magisk are not getting along well every time i open the Boeffla config app Magisk give me like 100 toast notifications that is granted the su :)

SD CARD issue

First of all thanks for awesome rom. I have an issue though. My SD Card name is some strange letters like 3427-2313. And also i can not write to External SD Card. I mean i can't write to external SD Card at all. No app will allows that. Not even ES Explorer with root access. Please help. If i go back to cynogenMod 13 will both issues go away ???

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ItsAamir:
Respected, i also tried that Rom and there was no such issue, (No app allows to write to Ext SD Card) , issue was with built-in File Manger, all other file explorers worked fine, even Titanium Backup, i don't think so that going back to cm13 will solve it, try clean flash this Rom, BTW, if you want to go back to cm13 then try Markox's one, the stablest Rom !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pranav.stefan:
Thanks for reply

I just checked. It seems i can copy any file to sd card but i can't edit text file with es explorer's text editor. Weird :confused: This should be an issue right ? Also i always do clean install. wipe first 4 option in TWRP including data

What about random letter name of sd card ???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nigol:
External SD card not displayed by the system.

Having to save some data on the SD card do not know how to do.

Can someone help me?

Thank you

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ItsAamir:
As i mention earlier, there was no such issue, I am currently on RR-N , but i tried these things on this Rom too, i used Solid Explorer and ES Explorer, one thing, make sure you gave all necessary permissions to Explorer.....and atlast i can't say anything about SD Card Name, because its does not matter... :)

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Use another File Manager for this, as Built-in File Manager does not open Ext-Sd Card, I will recommend Solid Explorer

Hotspot Issue

This ROM is sweet.

Please I couldnt use my hotspot, please help. Is there a way i can fix this?:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xman66:
The problem with all N roms is lack of xposed support

That we all suffering from sd card limitation

In M roms we can use marshmallow sd card fix module and obb to sd module in xposed

And that what i have did

Notice when the system ask you to either format the sd card as internal or leave it as media port chose the second choice so you can handle the sd card also you won't able to move apps to sd card.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ItsAamir:
Yes, you can fix this issue by installing Boeffla Kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bosunsky10:
Thanks for the reply

i've installed the kernel ... bt how can i fix it after installing?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ItsAamir:
If you installed Boeffla Kernel then, try to turn on the Hotspot, it should work

[MENTION=4258086]firebird11[/MENTION] the only bug I'm having in this ROM is the camera failing in the snapchat application. The only way to resolve is through a reboot and this takes about a minute. Is there a different workaround or fix for this? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ItsAamir:
Sorry you asked from Dev, but i think you should try this for camera,

Turn on the Terminal app from Developer Options and then type this in the app,

su (press enter key)

killall cameraserver (press enter key)

check your camera after entering these two commands :)

Hi there baltics. I have some questions for you if you're kind to help me please.

How do you disable Magisk ? I've flashed the uninstall magisk file and magisk is still on the apps list.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
Magisk Manager is a system app. You can freeze it if you have Titanium and you can download a free but very good play store app called root essentials and use it to uninstall it.

After reading your post I turned on spirit FM and ran it for a couple of hours, not only was there no 'significant battery drain' but it use did not even register on the system battery tab.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mohand06:
It's not Spirit2 on its own, but the sound mod apps and services in the background as far as I could say. But what's for sure is the weak battery life of LOS builds for heavy use compared to stock. I'm getting the most from this device with AMCHA Rom 4.4.4, MoRoKernel.

I have stock FM radio on my A3(2016)--It's crappy with weak sound not even processible with equalizer or other sound mods. Listening to Spirit2 with V4A or local or streaming music on my i9300 is eargasmic! Unfortunately, this lineup is power demanding and LOS battery life is far from satisfactory.

[MENTION=4258086]firebird11[/MENTION],

I understand why crDroid changed the root to Magisk. However as appears from the posts here since the release of 2.5, a number of those commenting have decided to replace Magisk with Chainfire's SuperSu beta 2.79.

Others who have remained with Magisk have discovered that it does not work as it should.

I am not fully conversant with Magisk but I do know that those using certain devices, including some on stock roms, experience difficulty with it.

When Lineage 14.1 was launched, the developers decided to release it without root. Those who wanted to root could download a Lineage root zip. Those who wished to install some other root could.

Rather than releasing future updates with Magisk Root and Magisk Manager installed, would it be possible to release the Rom without Root and make separately available for download crDroid Root and Magisk Root/Manager? This would give users the choice and save the necessity to uninstall one system to replace it with another.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
About root I have to say it is the cause I have reverted from a modern CM rom to the original old JB 4.3 unrooted rom. Many banking and streaming apps don't work in presence of root, even if you hide it or unroot some root trace remains in the rom preventing these app from work, then making the S3 a toy. I hope that all the developers begin to build rootless rom, otherwise their work would be unusable if more and more apps will only work on not rooted rom. My point of view, thanks!

Why revert to basic Los root ? Magisk just work well if we use it in a good way and it is very cool with all modules.

And also, can I install Boeffla kernel ? that is the correct https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-6-0-alpha4-2016-t3486988 ? Or there is a newer because I see that there are no messages since february

Hey guys, I'm now using v2.5, with stock kernel and magisk root and the phone is running smoothly. In comparison to 2.4, I noticed the battery life has dropped a bit. Will I be better off with Boeffla kernel and SU or this is more a "case-to-case" situation, meaning that it can work better for some users and not so much for other, despite the fact we are using the ROM version?

And this is the correct Boeffla version for I9300, right? http://kernel.boeffla.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel-cm/cm14.0_download/Test/

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MacLeod100:
That is up to you do some flashing and you will figure out what is the best for you ;) If you do some reading a few post back you will see that some users ( including me ) get better battery life after unistall Magisk and using Boeffla Kernel + SU :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] migasbr:
Hi MacLeod100, thanks for your reply. Yes I've read it and that's why I started to question myself.. The truth is that I haven't had any problem with magisk so far, but I'm on stock kernel. I've read also some of the guys tried Boeffla with magisk and didn't go to well...

I was trying to understand if everybody is getting better results with Boeffla+SU. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MacLeod100:
Well every user have his own style and use of his device . For some is good the " stock " :) some prefere different mods ( kernel , camera , modems , audio , etc ) Is up te every device onwer ( thats the beauty of open source ;) ) if it do that or no

I prefere to do some good reading before flashing or asking something It save me from alot of trouble ;)

Hello everyone :)

My question can be stupid but in fact I have installed the audio mod Viper4Android with Magisk's modules so if I uninstall Magisk the audio mod Viper will still work ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Elton47:
No
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Florian03:
Ok but why ? It's a mod installed in recovery so it's independent ? Or he work with Magisk I think
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Elton47:
Thought you installed it from Magisk. Installing it from custom recovery makes it indipendent from Magisk (but still needs it for root or Chainfire's SU)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Florian03:
So if I want to uninstall Magisk I'll have to re install Viper from the custom recovery to get it independent
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Elton47:
No. Go ahead and uninstall Magisk. If you are sure you installed V4A from the recovery, then it will remain installed, so it is seperated from any changes made to Magisk. (Dont remember to remain rooted by installing SuperSu or LoS's root package, I think crDroid has it already under developer settings).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Florian03:
I don't understand all you said because I am french ^^ but in fact with CrDroid 2.5 Magisk is pre-installed and with that I installed V4A in the "modules" section of the application. So what I try to explain is if I uninstall Magisk for problem with custom kernel(look post before) I will lost root right ? And so I'll have to make root again with SU for example. But if I lost Magisk I lost also V4A or not ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Elton47:
Apologies for the confusion caused.

Since you installed V4A from Magisk, you WILL lose it if you uninstall Magisk, also losing root by doing that. What you can do to have Root + Custom Kernel + V4A Mods, is to completely uninstall Magisk and flash/install SuperSU, flash the kernel, install V4A. Done!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] qb74:
how can I even remove Magisk when I can't use any rooted apps to begin with (root essentials & titanium)? Just did a clean install of CRDroid, since orig. LOS has this weird HWComp bug that CRDroid doesn't seem to have, seems like a neat ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] migasbr:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mohand06:
CrDroid was good rooted or not before reverting to Magisk. [MENTION=4258086]firebird11[/MENTION], just a suggestion, why not let the choice of root and su management to the user? As for me, I've been using Arise sound mod since it's outset a year ago and the first time I encountered issues for its installation on CrDroid was when it came with Magisk.
