:)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] :
It happens to me,too
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Pako2000:
Confirmed! The battery discharges very quickly, even in standby. Today I worked all day and I didn't touch it not even once but from 92% is passed to 30%.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] whiteeagle9:
i can confirm this, i'm having this problem too
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] gfpeti2:
:(

An incoming message spontaneously restarted the phone. Then he got bootloop.

I tried to restart, recover, and download multiple times and after several attempts the phone started

After 180 hours of running time, the system began to slow down.

It has become completely useless. He did not respond to the touch for half a minute

The system was overheated during charging. It is fortunate that I noticed it in time. Burned smell.

Charging stops and the system is warned of overheating.

The display often does not respond, it remains dark. The volume goes up and down itself.

ringtone media volume is self-adjusting. Very unstable system after a few days :(

He went very well for a few days

:(
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] gfpeti2:
Nobody should be charging ON !!!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Sorry guys for being off for a long time. I had network problems.

This bug was present since v1. I didn't found a solution yet but it's already on my "fix it" list :)

Not confirmed. My battery discharges very slowly, even in standby! No jokes it's true :p Please proof it it's caused by the ROM (with logcats, screenshot etc.). Also a custom kernel may (and I am pretty sure it was caused by a custom kernel) drain your battery a lot like a parasite.

fixed :)

Sorry mate I hope everything running well now. I never experienced it with this ROM. Before I released v2.1 I replaced everything which had to do with dis/charging with our stock dis/charching values. This fixed the charging issue, so I mean you can charge your device even if it's ON.

If you used a (overclocked) custom kernel then... yes... you may get battery, overheating and/or performance issues then please contact your kernel developer about this. But if you didn't use a custom kernel then please proof it with logcats or similar (logcats can tell you everything about what happend with your device, like app crashes).

Just to be on the safe side reboot your device at least every 2 or 3 days :)

V2.2 is already under testing stage
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] gfpeti2:
Unfortunately, the phone has been broken. Does not load. I saw the book "the device overheats" But it was too late. Ruined. There is nothing to spare. She does not react to anything. Tomorrow I'll be in service. :(
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Sorry mate I am pretty sure your service center will replace your device with a new one :). I experienced similar overheating issue like yours on my old s3 mini by using a overclocked kernel. My s3 mini was very hot, it rebooted everytime so that I restored the stock kernel fast before the device got some damage but too late, my s3 mini got hardware damage :mad:. No matter after that I bought my A3 and now my darling is about 2 years old :angel: Since this case with s3 mini I never using any custom kernel even with this ROM.

BTW did you used a custom kernel with this ROM before your device got broken?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] gfpeti2:
I do not use a custom kernel. I plugged it into a charger and noticed it was saying "System overheated" 60% The smell of the phone was on the phone. I pulled it fast. But he's been bad since then. Go Service :(

Guys, Samsung just released Android 7.0 for the Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-A320FL variant) which mean there will be no more Android 6.0.1 updates for A3 2017 and no more updates for the Port version of our Grace UX ROM. Of course, I'll still update this ROM and it's Base version (if Samsung still update our A3 2015).
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] slake84:
Any feedback from v2.2, is it stable and worth switching from stock rom?

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] drunx:
Hello, this is logcat:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Sorry none of the logcats included any settings crashes. To capture an app crashing type in cmd (if you have adb installed) :

adb logcat *:E > C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Desktop\logcat.txt

Replace YOURUSERNAME with your PC's username. Also make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] drunx:
Now ok ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Checked your logcat and your settings actually crashes :eek:

According to your logcat, do SQLiteLog report the settings has no or an unreachable database.

Try to clear settings data//cache or do a factory reset if necessary.

Future development, Dream UX? & Video review?

Hey guys,

a new build is already under development but with very very small changes. If you found any issues, bugs etc. report it here otherwise I'll think everything works ok for you. Right now two noticable bugs are left (blue light filter and minimum brightness) which won't cause problems for normal users.

Another thing I wanna try TRY! are to port Nougat Dream UX apps to our Marshmallow Grace UX ROM as an optional ADD-ON, so that we have at least a bit Dream UX feeling on our A300FU.

Now my last request to our small A3 2015 community, anyone interrested to make a video review of this ROM ? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] czekon63:
Hi. Thanks for your good work. I'd appreciate it if you added libindicatorview_native.so to system/lib so the smart tv samsung remote control would work. I'm waiting for new upgraded version.

Secure folder it's not working and Samsung's App (SoundCamp) it's not working. It would be great if OTG works. Con you modify the Kernel to insert the OTG? It's a great rom and I'm waiting next build ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Thanks for your report :)

It's due tripped Knox status 0x1 and the ROM got deknoxed.

Idk why it doesn't work. It could be the app's fault or our hardware don't support this Professional Audio.

That's a separate feature which I won't add and I'm still a noob in kernel development. If you need OTG, flash a custom kernel with OTG support.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] InfamousMykol:
Can you update the camera app and integrate slowmotion?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Already ported the A3 2017 camera (v6.0.96) but it's very buggy. Taking pictures with front or rear camera works and set one effect too but that's all. The rest won't work like

- video recording (Camera will FC),

- Manually AF will FC Camera,

- change picture and video size (no size option will pop-up in camera settings if you tap on it)

- or set other effects

- maybe more. idk.

About slow motion, idk, is that really a "must have" feature ? :o
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] InfamousMykol:
Slowmotion it's funny ?

When next build?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Maybe in 2000 years?:eek: just kidding :p PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR ETAs. Thanks;)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Sorry guys the update seems to take more time than expected. Currently I'm porting some Samsung Experience 8.1 (A320FL, Nougat) apps and theming the SystemUi for our Grace UX ROM with success. Unfortunately these ported apps require a lot of support from framework that's the reason why the update take more time.

These apps are ported to our Grace UX ROM :

- Radio (looks like the one from Grace UX, so no big changes)

- Calculator

- Weather Widget (Unfortunately it doesn't appear in drawer)

- TouchWiz Home

Themed like Nougat :

- SystemUi

Already tried to port the real SystemUi from Nougat but failed due missing resources.

Of course, I'll port more apps but after I released the update. The ported and themed apps which are mentioned above will be available as optional ADD-ON.

The Galaxy J5 2016 which has nearly the same specs like our device will get Nougat soon. So I'll try to port the Nougat ROM from J5 2016 to our A3 2015 if Samsung release the update. I repeat the main part, I'LL TRY IT! So I can not promise anything.

Stay tuned ;)

COOL ROM!!!!!

Wow Installed this rom on to my A300fu the other day with the kraken kernel overclocked to 1.5ghz etc. It's very good! I was worried the flip case sensor majogger thingy wouldn't work with the new rom. But it did!!! and its nice and quick and smooth.

How much will this CPU handle in terms of overclock? Can it be clocked higher than Kraken 1.5ghz? If so what kernel?

Any way, Thank you for this wonderful rom Mr Type.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
I'm glad you like the ROM and thanks for your report that flip case covers are working. I wasn't able to test it. ;)

I don't know how far our CPU can handle higher frequencies but I think 1.4GHz is the safest frequency for our SoC. But it depends on the technology and how the SoC was produced e.g. 2 identical SoC's (lets take our Snapdragon 410) can handle higher CPU frequencies than default. The first one can run max. 2.1GHz and the second one can just run max. 1.6GHz. Both will hard-reboot the device if the CPU frequency was set higher than the maximum value.

But I am not sure, that's more a Hardware topic. If you are unsure about that then ask your Kernel developer for more information. :)

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] johnuhtron:
Forgive me If I'm wrong, but I think it said in the description to flash the "Kraken" Kernel in the event the Wifi doesn't work. Try flashing the Kraken kernel and see if this fixes the Wifi problem. I flashed the kraken kernel straight away anyway as I wanted an overclocked phone and mine worked perfect first time.

Reupload a kernel without the permission of the developer isn't allowed here. Bulgaricus abadonned his work, so the Kraken kernel isn't GPLv2 compliant anymore.

Um, I'm not really an expert in ROMs and those stuffs, but why or I mean what would be the difference between this Rom and the ROM for sm-a300f, if there would be one?

Because I have a sm-a300f.....
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Well, RAM is the main difference betweeen SM-A300FU (1,5GB RAM) and SM-A300F (1GB RAM).

The second difference between both models are the Android versions: SM-A300FU and SM-A300Y got Marshmallow while the other A3 2015 models didn't.

Idk if it was your question but I can't give support for the SM-A300F, SM-A300H etc. models without a TW Marshmallow Kernel for those models.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] matthieuleve:
Hey !

Really awesome work. The ROM is working perfectly on my phone with hades kernel.

The only bug i've noticed is with the SamsungCameraV6, each time i tap into the screen to focus on something, the app crashes.

But otherwise everything is working fine.

Do you know any trick to use the battery more slowly?

I'm pretty sure I mentioned on second post that manual auto focus will crash Samsung Camera V6 :

Maybe it wasn't cleary enough for normal user, sorry ;) Corrected now

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Please read the OP carefully. I meantioned there that WiFi may not work after flashing this ROM:

Move them manually to system/apps or system/priv-app. Set correct permission for folder and apk separately. For folders set rwxr-xr-x (0755) and for apks set rw-r--r-- (0644). Check out this thread for more info.

Make sure you delete the previous version before you reboot your device e.g if you move HybridRadio_N to system then make sure you delete HybridRadio_M before.

All lockscreen types working flawless on my device. Do a factory reset fix it?

Without power saving i've got a battery drain when the smartphone is on standby. I think it's the overclock of the cpu by the kraken kernel. With power saving I can use the smartphone for one day without big problems.

ideas ?

Can this be installed using the default bootloader or odin ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
Well, If you are running stock Marshmallow then you shouldn't get any problems with this ROM. And how you can't install TWRP? Did you read the installation instructions carefully?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Ripstikerpro:
Ok , I got the twrp working (was from a mistake i made during installing it) , But when I install it it says it is not compatible with my device and that it is made for SM-A300FU , although I do have that exact model.

Info you might need : I am on the default rom updated to the latest version , twrp is what i have for recovery and I flashed it using odin.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
The ROM.zip checks first, if the device code name (a3ulte) matches the same name which is given from TWRP Recovery. Maybe your TWRP version shows a3lte, a33g etc. which will fail when installing this ROM to avoid incompatibilities. Well you can bypass this check by modify the updater-script. Open the ROM.zip and go to:

META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script. Open it with notepad++ or similar text editors and remove line 6:

show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" "); ui_print("*******Installing Grace UX ROM*******");
ui_print("Checking for device compatibility first");
[COLOR="Red"]assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "a3ulte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "a3ulte" || abort("Device compatibility FAILED ! This ROM is for SM-A300FU only"););[/COLOR]
