Master troubleshooter-UPDATED 25 march 2012(CM9 and gdx) - XPERIA X8 General

Lets help people dance
Explaining the concept of this thread:
I have mainly made this thread to try to make the community
thread as clean as possible and to make full efforts not to piss
off by making developers and moderators.

First these are certain rules u must follow certain rules in
posting on this thread also other development threads
1) SEARCH the thread with the search button on the top right
corner of the thread if someone has posted a solution of that error
2) Search did not find results? Go through each and every post if
you are so desperate to solve the problem (The developer has
done so much of hard work you do some too)
3) In any case you do not post in the general section about rom
errors; wait for it to be rectified by the developers
4) Next to every rom we will write what all kernels u can use
with the rom, be sure that u use only that kernel and not
others
5) You found the solution of the error make sure you thank
the solution giver
6) Don’t post thanking a person or even agreeing to what a
post says. Just hit thanks (works like the ‘like’ button on Facebook)
7) Don’t try out incompatible kernels and posting the bugs
8) DONT post a critical summary of the rom, if u head to the
opening post u will find the developer has already told u what
is working and what is not
9) WAIT PATIENTLY FOR NEW RELEASES AND RESPECT THE
DEVELOPER AND HIS DECISIONS AT ALL COSTS!!!! DONT ASK FOR ETA!!!!

Basic guide to install a rom FOR NOOBS
1)MOST IMPORTANT read the WHOLE opening post! Which kernel is the rom made for, What are the bugs, If it is still in development please dont try it and if u so stubborn to try it unless so many warning dont post ur sad stories, rather a logcat would help
2)READ for what kernel is the rom made
IF the developer has said NAa kernel just use NAa kernel Dont use your smart brains and try with other kernels
3)First and foremost make a backup!!!!!!! And dont cry like babies in general sections that u dont have a backup and have bricked your phone
4)AFTER U HAVE MADE A BACKUP wipe if the the thread says so full wipe ur phone..
If u are updating the rom you dont need to wipe but if u are changing the rom wipe the following
>Full wipe
>wipe cache
>advanced/Wipe dalvik cache
5)check which kernel u have in your phone and which kernel is needed
If you already have the required kernel flash the rom
If you don not have the kernel then FIRST FLASH KERNEL THEN THE ROM
6)PLEASE DO NOT TRY OTHER KERNEL OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED
THE DEVELOPER KNOWS ABOUT HIS ROM MORE THAN YOU AND HE KNOWS WHICH KERNEL IS NEEDED FOR OPTIMISED WORK OF ROM
7)After flashing the rom turn on the phone once (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STEP)
8)DO all the startup and reboot your phone back to recovery
9)Now flash the google apps and fixes if any
10)Now use the rom and thank the developer, they have done a lot have hard work you can not imagine

MAJOR ROM FIXES ARE GIVEN BELOW( POST IF YOU HAVE OTHER BUGS)
CM9 by paul-xxx link to orignal thread
Works with only nAa kernel
>WIFI(only for v02) (latest v02 has this solved)
OK so the v02 atleast finds ur router and tries to connect but it will show very low network and will not connect
download View attachment dhcpcd_fix.zip and View attachment A2DP_wifi-Fix.zip
>Flash A2DP in cwm recovery
with root explorer
>go to system/bin
>find a file called 'dhcpcd'
>long press and view the permissions and remember it(note it down if u cant remember)
>copy it and move it to your sd card (this is ur backup if something goes wrong)
>now from the attachments download the zip and extract it to the root of ur sdcard
>copy and replace the dhcpd fix with the orignal
>long press and fix the permissions as u noted it down earlier
>Reboot
>if u have configured static ip before then long press and forget network
>connect to wifi normally
For V02 latest with no wifi
Flash View attachment A2DP_wifi-Fix.zip
>Earpiece volume
The trick is to not to keep the earpiece volume at max!
Keep it a level low.. call a frnd and lower the volume.. it will actually increase the volume
But don't lower it more than one step.. then it will become low
The problem is in the max level.. other volume levels work fine
So if u lower it.. ull get satisfactory sound
>Battery Life
Well with the tiny battery of our x8 and the large battery consuming interface of of ICS there ought to be a struggle for battery
Here are some tips
-The normal wiping battery stats works for battery drain
-I have noticed that the music service does not stop so after u stop listening to music reboot your phone
-The inbuilt task killer is there in our ICS but it does not kill all the apps.Download a task killer from the market if u feel some useless apps are needed to be killed
-Download a app called 'juice defender' Buy it if u can. It helps in saving a lot of battery
>Bootanimations
Dont like the new bootanimation??
View attachment bootanimation.zip
Method to install it
-in root explorer
-copy the downloaded boot animation
-replace it with the one in system/media
-restart and see the new bootanimation
(paul forgot to change the resolution of the picture so i just fixed that)

Simple fact: too many people around who are too lazy to read, too lazy to use their brain, too lazy to actually conduct research before doing stuff (did I ever mention I actually read up on stuff for a good five weeks before I even rooted my X8?), and who shouldn't be allowed to use anything more modern than a old Bell phone on a landline or bush drums.

No, but please post the full problem resolve steps at least.
Reminds me: The "random reboots" can be solved by either using swap or dropping resource hogging apps (i.e. Skype or Kaiten/K-9 Mail with a insanely large POP/IMAP inbox).

I agree that the development area should be clean as much as possible and others posts should be posted according to their respective categories

FroyoBread F.A.Q.

Greetings. The following thread is related to FroyoBread ROM. I'm opening this thread since doixanh suggested it could come in handy. This is supposed to be helpful to all the people who don't know something or can't make something work. If you have issues - read the first post, if there is no answer - ask a question. Never the other way around. If you have a new (sensible) question I will add it to the first post along with a solution (by me or by anyone who can give it - by posting solutions you agree to my puting it into the first post).
This thread will be divided into three parts:
why this ROM?
installation instructions, tricks and issues
F.A.Q.
But first we need to make some things clear. These are as follows:
If you cannot comprehend what is written here - it's your problem, not mine. You can relate to THIS or THIS thread for information regarding things such as rooting, xrecovery and other stuff. Or learn English. I will not put things into plainer words, nor will I explain terms that are general, not ROM-related. "Hard" words will be marked in orange and google is your friend.
If you consider this guide useless - don't write in it.
This is a place for noobs. If you're an advanced user go straight to FroyoBread thread. Use this for questions, not for bug reports. Remember, doixanh is by no means obliged to visit this thread.
Ok, let's get down to business.
1. Why this ROM?
There are several reasons why you should go for this ROM, not for any else:
It's android 2.2 Froyo, which, while bootloader is still locked, runs smooth, and android 2.3 is buggy (mostly camera issues, but not only)
It's fast and contains very few bugs, which means it's good for daily use
It has lovely android 2.3 GingerBread features, such as crt animation, edge glow, and some more useful, like precise text markers. See for yourself
It's under constant development - new versions come even in three days distance
From v013 on you can use a wide variety of themes for CM7 devices!
Hope that it's enough to get your attention
2.1 Installation instructions and tricks
To properly install FroyoBread you need to have files which come with stock ROM build 2.1.1.A.0.6 or higher. You also need baseband ending with 015. You will require xRecovery to for installation. Clockworkmod recovery, for now, does not allow to install FroyoBread!
Do you have all that's needed? Good, let's get started!
Put a downloaded FroyoBread zip in the root of your SD card
Go into xRecovery
Make a backup of your current ROM in case you want to go back!
After backing up choose "install custom zip" -> "choose custom zip from sdcard" -> choose your froyobread zip file and install it. It will take a short while.
NOTE: Every FroyoBread installation file will wipe your cache partition, you don't have to do it manually. All the versions except for RC0 will preserve your data partition, so if you are updating your FroyoBread you will not loose your contacts, apps and so on.
If you are coming from any version of android that is not 2.2 - make a full wipe (factory reset). This step is not necessary for ROMs such as Floyo, Elelinux or miniCM, but it is generally good to get rid of other ROM's data before proceeding.
You may want to go to "advanced option" and wipe battery stats to get more precise readings, but it is entirely optional.
Reboot!
Now, there are some additional files you may want to install. These are themes and fixes. They are installed the very same way the ROM is, but they do not wipe anything, nor do they need you to perform any action apart from choosing them for installation and then rebooting. The list of themes and fixes can be found in FroyoBread thread.
2.2 Installation issues
Something went wrong? Phone doesn't turn on? No worries
Issue: my phone shows only the "Sony Ericsson" logo and doesn't move on!
Solution: take out your battery, put it back and get into xRecovery once more, perform full wipe. You may also want to reinstall the FroyoBread zip. If something weird happens during the installation (for example the progress bar goes only half way) redownload the ROM, go into "partition options" of xRecovery and mount USB to replace the zip, then install it again. If anything else fails, you can always restore your previously done backup of the old ROM. You made it, didn't you?
Issue: I cannot see anything on my notification bar!
Solution: Reboot your device and check settings->CM settings -> user interface -> tweak extras -> select a theme. You should have STOCK_Black enabled by default.
Issue: I instaleld a theme and <something> is not working!
Solution: Do you really need that thing that has been broken? If so, reinstall your current version of the ROM, or perform an advanced restore of your system (if you have a proper backup of course)
Issue: my GPS/radio/data/whatever is not working!
Solution: GPS works. If you have issues - full wipe. Some apps may not be compatible with FroyoBread - in this case report a bug Radio has been fixed in v007, but due to some major changes it could be broken in further versions. I have never checked it. Some themes may also cause radio to break. Data traffic, yes... it has been reported that sometimes it simply breaks and there is nothing to be done, only wifi works. Bug reported, be patient. Anything else is not working? Post a question and we will try to help
F.A.Q.
Q: Is this ROM better than others?
A: In some respects it is. See section one of this guide, or try the ROM yourself
Q: What is baseband/build/xrecovery/etc?
A: At the very beginning I put two reference links to hub threads which will direct you to the knowledge you desire
Q: How to install this?
A: You didn't read the installation instruction, did you?
Q: I have v013 beta(2), why doesn't my notification bar change when I switch themes?
A: doixanh is working on separating notification bar from the system, but in this version of ROM it doesn't work. Wait patiently
Q: Is wifi-N enabled in this ROM?
A: It was up to v012. In v013 doixanh disabled it due to stability issues. Refer to changelog for further versions.
Q: Why are CM settings in English?
A: CM6 settings were never truly translated. Maybe doixanh will include CM7 translations in further releases, but for now you need to wait or translate the xml files yourself (if you know how to extract them from .apk - knowledge is here, on XDA )
Q: Is "beta" unstable?
A: Beta version of v013 is stable enough for daily use. It has been called so due to major changes and for fear of many bugs to come. doixanh simply didn't want people to complain that the "stable" build is unstable.
Q: Can this brick my device?
A: If you do something wrong you may, of course, crash your system. There is, however, now way to brick it permanently, since bootloader is locked. For unbricking see my other guide HERE.
Q: I did all the steps from installation part, I have a proper build and baseband and yet my phone is stuck on boot with SE logo. What's wrong?
A: Did you do a full wipe? If so, then there is something wrong with you file system. Reflash the phone with 2.1.1 tft file from THIS guide, make sure you have 015 baseband and then reinstall FroyoBread. Make sure to backup your data!
Q: I cannot use SE backup and restore app!
A: Well, that's most probably because doixanh named the brand Sh!t Ericsson instead of Sony Ericsson. Change this value in build.prop and try to install again. build.prop may be found in /system and /system/bin, you need to change both, then reboot. If all else fails you may always use MyBackup and Titanium Backup from the market
Q: What modules are included?
A: By default we have x8uv, x8mddi and x8gesture in system/lib/modules. If you want x8oc simply put the .ko file in the directory and reboot, FroyoBread is designed to load this module without any further modifications in config.sh.
Q: How do I add more themes to theme chooser?
A: Go to THIS thread and choose to your liking. Some themes are available through market, some need to be downloaded from XDA and installed through file managers.
This list is to be expanded by your further questions!
Mod Edit: Ok, just deleted the quote.
Omg! That's best thread I ever see! But anyway I'm not noob I know everything what's here but its very good for noobs! Well Done! BTW I'm using froyobread v013 and its very stable

hello guys..
really happy to see this thread here.. thanks to dx n all devs supporting here...
im using this, frm v6 n i really love it... v14 is stable for me... awesome performance..
how do i change the power icon in notification bar, i wud like to have GB default instead of cirlce ... sorry for my request.. pls do consider n help me,...
once again thanks to dx for this wonderful rom.. n also Achep for his theme...
you want x8oc simply put the .ko file in the directory and reboot
I can't find this file...on v14.
Since you made the F.A.Q. I'll ask you the same question I've asked on the dev thread. Is Bluetooth working for you ? Because I can only use it with a 3rd party app from the market, and is annoying as hell.
hey i just got this problem.. im unable to update google maps, downloads completely but after dat installation fails.. pop up displays update package failure.... flashed v12 freshly same error occured again.. pls help me..
n i also noticed that there are no events in notification dropdown menu while der is a download running frm market, it only appears during installation....
Yeeei, i overclocked my Xperia X8, thanks for your guide.

You can either change it in framework-res.apk (you'll need default icons and xmls for that, for more see the general theming section of XDA) or use another CM7 theme (in v014 you will experience issues such as battery indicator flipping from stock to themed randomly - wait for more updates for a fix )
Since it is not an easy thing to fix I will not put in into a F.A.Q. this time

Well, last time I used bluetooth it was on v013b. Both astro bluetooth and bluetooth file manager DIDN'T work for me, I had to send a file (mp3) through default android service actually. I will check it on v014 in the morning and write something more

The solution's been found by one of the users. Here - PM this person for more information. If you repost it here I will gladly put in into F.A.Q. I cannot help you since I do not use Maps
As for download event not showing - it is a bug that has been already reported We may only hope that it will be fixed in v015

Dx is using this version of map. This version enables navigation in countrys that don't have it original. You can not update it in market.You need to completly uninstall maps and then install from market, if you want the newest version. Thanks for your FAQ post Gravier
hi, i've been asking this question since v12.

Force Close.
Got X8 few days ago, and installed froyobread. My X8 runs surprisingly smooth, with few glitches:
1. Video recording isnt working, is there any chance of enabling it? (when i press record it shuts down app)
2. Sluggish keyboard
3. auto brightness bugs - First its ok, than it ajusts brigness after 5 seconds or so, than refuses to enlight screen
1. It should be ok in v015. If it isn't - try full wipe. If it doesn't help - report bug in doixanh's thread.
2. Which one are you referring to? As far as I remember we have HTCime mod and stock android keyboard. If both don't suit you - try some keyboards from the market
3. Well, autobrightness is still enlisted as a persisting bug in doixanh's thread, so I'd suggest you disabling it. If you'd like to keep some controll over brightness you may set a drop-down widget in CM settings

titanium backup not working on the build
The new update seems to eliminate the software keys; is there a way to reenable them?
Don t agree just wipe everything and restore user app with Tb. Works fine however i think it s a bad idea do such about system/data.

If you haven't already done that, update your TB, the last version works on ICS.
I've been really enjoying this build. Thanks alot for the whole team!
UI runs very smooth and basicly no log at all.
Almost everything works better compared to the orginal 2.3.3 stock rom I used before.
Few things I noticed, the battery life seems to be somewhat worse.
Also a question about the multitasking in ICS. I cant find a way to open the thumbnails? Long pressing home doesnt seem to work and since theres no software based keys (which I think is a good thing) I'm not sure what to do.
Tab P1000 and I'm using the latest kerned (30.1) with bt fix and rom.

Hi all, this thread is a good idea, it mostly works on the galaxy s 2 cm9 forum but their are still idiots posting in the development area. Codeworx (the developer on s2 cm9 thread) has really bought into it and tells people to post in the discussion thread if they post noob stuff in the dev thread. If the devs here (cdesai, humberOS etc) buy into this discussion thread then maybe more people will use it
Anyways, i tried changing lcd density to 120 to check out more tablet apps on the market but when I do the keyboard zooms and I can only see half of it, so I can't type properly... Any ideas?

I know that I used the honeycomb alpha at 120 and liked it that small. But my question isn't about the best density to have, it's about the keyboard at 120 and if anyone knows how to fix it or has any suggestions.
This is my GalaxyTab. There are many like it but this one is mine.
If, by some kind of freak occurrence I helped you, please hit THANKS!
my keyboard work fine on 120 check the attachment
It would be awsome if there is such way to force apps to start in tablet UI with 160 LCD density coz 120 is very small for 7" displays
CM9 on P1000
Hey guys, I tried to flash the latest ICS build for the P1000, but my tablet wont leave the start up screen...
I downloaded both files, replaced the kernel part of the zip with the one specific for the P1000, wiped cache, davik and reset user settings.
Then I flashed the zip file, but at reboot it won't leave the start up screen.
Any idea on what I may have done wrong?
Thanks!

[Discussion Thread] CMX10 - CM10 by Scritch007

Ok, as you all know Scritch007 has compiled CM10 for our old X10, Considering how ICS was running on our device achieving a fast & reliable JB was sort of a dream but the dream has become true thanks to Scritch007 & CMX10 team as he's named it himself
So I opened this thread in order to keep the development thread clean & save the dev & others who want to actually contribute to the project the headache of having to go through non-development posts, You can use this thread for any noob/kinda noob/not so noob questions, issues or problems you have with installation or even the rom itself before confirming it as an official bug, "thanks" comments if you ever feel the "Thanks" button is not enough, any mod or extra features & add-on s that you request (because Scritch007 has clearly stated that he wants to deliver a pure & clean CM10 & he won't add these kinds of stuff) or anything else you'd like to say on the subject which is unrelated to development
Original thread in development section
Changelog, Links & other stuff you need to know
Installation Guide:
- First be aware that you need to be rooted & also on unlocked bootloader
- Download the latest version of the rom(cm10-v10.zip) & the latest kernel(kernel-CM10-v22.ftf) from HERE & copy the rom to your sd card (If you need Gapps grab it(gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from HERE & copy it to your sd card too)
(The standard procedure for installing this is like any other rom: 1- Flashing the latest kernel using Flashtools 2- Powering on the device & booting into CWM recovery 3- Performing a full wipe (wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition & advanced > wipe dalvik cache) and 4- installing the rom & then the gapps; but as reported by many users you may have problems with the standard procedure specially If you's coming from other roms & kernels & this is your first time installing this, The problem may be facing a black screen & not being able to enter recovery & such, So I recommend you follow the instructions below which will surely work)
- Do NOT Flash the 4.1 kernel at first, Download & flash any other kernel that has a working CWM recovery using FLASHTOOLS (For example Scritch007's CM9 kernel or FeraVolt's ICS kernel), If you already have a kernel with working CWM recovery you can skip this step (Also it seems I should mention that by CWM recovery I mean ClockworkMod recovery not xRecovery, This rom can only be installed using ClockworkMod recovery)
- Boot into CWM recovery(by pressing the back key repeatedly when you see kernel logo & notification led) and Perform a full wipe (wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache partition & advanced > wipe dalvik cache)
- Install the rom(cm10-v10.zip) & if you need Gapps(gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) install it too, after that do NOT reboot, while still in CWM recovery, just power off the device (If your CWM recovery doesn't have a power off option, take your battery off, wait for 10 seconds & put it back again)
Attention: If you faced the Status 7 error (getprop error / assert fail) when trying to install the rom in CWM, HERE is one solution, The other solution is editing your current build.prop (system/build.prop) to make at least one of the conditions you see in the error message true
- Flash the 4.1 kernel(kernel-CM10-v22.ftf) using Flashtools
- Power on the device & let the fun begin!!
Bugs & Issues:
- Camcorder captures low quality videos
- Turning GPS on & off will result in losing Deep Sleep and therefore battery drain until next reboot
- Tethering turns off when phone goes into deep sleep
- Video playback in gallery
Attention: If you want to report a bug/issue, THIS is the proper & helpful way to do it
Fixes & Add-ons:
- Fix for when Status bar freezes & doesn't update: Reboot into CWM recovery, Fix permissions and Wipe dalvik cache
- Fix for no data connection: It's been reported by users that a simple reboot will solve it
- Working Timescape For This Rom
- [APK] Seeder 2.0.0 entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction
- Xperia Z lockscreen for CM10
- SONY Xperia Z Walkman Clear Audio+, Movies Album & BE 2
- [MOD][APP]AwesomeBEATS™ v.5
- Xloud, Bravia 2 and Clear Bass for CM10 v 6.0 (I don't know if it will work for later versions of the rom or not, so kindly test & report here in this thread)
- Experimental tweaks & tips posted by a member (please test & report the results)
- On-screen button for Beta V3
- [MOD/THEME][CM10]All in 1 Transparent
- For root access issues (which apparently appears when flashing Ferakernel) THIS might help
Themes:
- Official MEGA CM10 Theme Chooser Thread [541 THEMES]

Give it a try, i thing gonna love it
AFAIK, this gonna be a great base rom for mod.
Still on the alpha stage but, it looks really promissing.
For some above issues, i believe we can to handled it .
FYI
Screenshots: (Thanks to aleespa)
This is really a dream I think.No other developer ever has given this stable rom in such a good time. Scritch really has made the most awesomest rom for our X10. This deserves a mention to the portal. Please vote for his thread !!
This Rom certainly rocks!!
On my third day now I can tell you that battery life is great & the Rom feels wicket Scritch has to be a magician.
Until now the only bugs I've found are:
no sound over headphones
(playing music over power amp),
sometimes no vibrate
(incoming messages or alarm),
cm recovery flickering &
titanium backup can't delete system files
(you can delete them with a root
explorer).
All these bugs have been mentioned in main thread.
I guess my next donation goes to You Scritch
Here is a video review of pre-alpha (thanks to efgeni)
Added screenshots, bugs & issues and a note on installation process, Feel free to add or correct & I'll update the OP
Really loving this rom, by the way someone reported that by adding the sound fix, video playback in gallery will also work, can anyone confirm because for me it doesn't
nfs most wanted working fine on this rom..but asphalt 7 no luck...anyone tried asphalt 7?

It was me! And yes for me every thing works like video recorded on GB works straight from gallery. Youtube works without any problem I ran HD video (1080p) which was playing without any lag.

Well it is not about support my friend. I personally don't have any problems with you (obviously) or this thread, but it is about the rules of this forum (and other's too ). In order to be easier for anybody to find what he searches for, we all have to post things where they should be and if there is no such place, then we should open a new thread. As there is a MIUI-Portugal thread you could post the links there and any other information you have. Anyway, I am not a moderator after all...

There are very few differences from geno's release since it is based on it. Some Chinese apps are missing, I think network location is fixed (you can use the apk to geno's release though), the clock at status bar is centered, it has a MIUI-Portugal bootanimation, and some tweaks such as the known gps.conf server tweak, gpu composition type at build prop and some more I can't remember.
I personally prefer geno's release, because it works smoother for me. But I haven't tested the last one MIUI-PT. You can try and choose. You can flash the one over the other with no data wipe (only dalvik and cache wipes are needed), so there is not a big cost in trying.

Geno's built is based on latest Aurora, so it has the same kernel with it and also the wifi reboots problem, the battery consumption etc...
Generally, both are suitable for daily use, but you will get some reboots if you enable/disable wifi much, till dzo fixes this at Aurora... I have to add that MIUI V4 is noticable slower that Aurora, because of the heavier graphics, but... god is pretty and handfull ...
I am using the English language, because greek is not fully supported. If you choose greek, you will have some things at greek and some at english, which I can't stand
Cheers everyone!

The kernel is the new from DZO and in Aurora.
DZO is the guru as we all know and Geno's compiled the rom with his kernel.
Please note that although Geno compiles the MIUI rom for our device he does not test it!
This is a fact and hes words.

True about the base on latest Aurora and the random wifi reboots when enable/disable wifi.
Can't agree with you about battery consumption. I play a lot, phone calls, sms and wifi (forums) and battery last very well. This is actually one of the bests so far in this point. But then again we are talking about a U8800, a phone with own personality and theres no 2 alike.
MIUI can be a bit slower than Aurora, true, as Aurora is a clean mode and MIUI rom, as we know is a base rom with lots of things on top, to get that sensational look.
This last release with latest DZO kernel is very smooth and fast and its a different world compares with MIUI 2.11.16 with Genos kernel.
This I can't agree with you also. You can use this MIUI and will feel very fast and smooth experience.
DZO kernel came to give a fresh life and improve a lot the experience of this heavy MIUI but have the know bugs of the wifi reboots and the continuous auto-focus camera while recording videos.
Again, I'm no developer and I have created this thread for everyone that wishes to try the MIUI PT and I will keep it updated. Its a promiss.
The updated will always be in the first post of the thread, as it should be, reason why I did not posted this release in old MIUI PT thread.
If the admin/mod decided to cancel the thread I will understand and respect until there just enjoy and lets this great work from several devs.
Be Well!

No more problem in this, since I have contacted the moderators to delete my thread since it was not updated anymore. I really prefer that someone that is in contact with the developers of this Rom to take the lead of this. At the time of creation of my thread, I "offered" it to msbomberman (developer of this rom)...
So Djuganight, you can keep up with the good job!

My dear friend Spiros... Geno's "clean" release as you call it is not as clean as it is... After a chit-chat with him I found out he doesn't test the U8800 himself... I have been reporting some "bad data" and kernel issues... Deleting only videos under media is not enough if you have stock partition... The ROM must be 200MB unzipped tops, and it's far more than that... Besides, there's the T9 issue...
Again... It's not as clean as you say,,,
Kind regards

How to get the best performance AND stability out of our Galaxy s3(Noob friendly)

BRACE YOURSELVES,LONG POST COMING!!
So,this phone is my very first one since 2013,and because i LOVE to tinker every software(even on pc) i decided to tinker my very first smartphone to the best performance possible !
I Learned a lot about this phone and 2 years later i decided to help others reach this point of optimization for this phone..
MY choice for android version for this phone is Jellybean(4.3) and i can explain why.
I choose this version because we want to operate our phone without A-N-Y bugs or FC's...
I choose this version because we want to get the best out of our camera....
i chose this version because I think(please dont sent hate posts) its the lightest software WHILE maintaning stability :fingers-crossed:
Well lets get started then!!
ROM:The best jellybean rom in terms of performance PLUS stability (my personal opinion again) is Just archi'shttp://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2855613, (IMHO The best developer for this phone ).
this rom use very little resources and it is as close to stock as possible with the basics (in terms of flexibility) baked in :good:
Also we all hate to admit that Sammy stock ROM is the most optimized because their sources is closed (so in sammies 4.4.2 -4.4.4 that developers port is laggy after some long term use so we cant blame them).
KERNEL: I chose this kernel because WHILE having enough stability,it delivers MASSIVE performance boost-And this is Boeffla's in synergy with zanezam's boeffla kernel with uber toolchain http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-linaro-zzmoove-t2629184 http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/i9300/samsung/jb43/stable/. THUMBS UP TO THESE DEVELOPERS :good: !!!
OPTIMIZATIONS: I'D like to share my boeffla kernel profile.this profile is aimed just a bit to performance while having good Sot's (4 hours+)...
Use Greenify!!! Its the best app available capable of hibernate you apps of CHOICE,freeing RAM to make the device snappy
i'd recomment to use it with XPOSED as you have more options to hibernate even system apps! :good:
ADBLOCK: use Adaway.It saves you from these ads that not only they are irritating,but you save a LOT of cpy cycles,which means cooler phone,still snappy while browsing etc.
Xposed modules:the only frustration about this rom for me is that it has no advanced reboot.. But its obvious because rom is as close to stock as possible). so if you want this you must install APM+ module found in download section inside xposed installer or by this link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus.
SOUND:After a lot of scripts and mods about sound in our phone,i decided to settle to [/FONT]V4A app and their drivers because it has INSANE volume boost WHILE maintaining quality :good: .
music application of choice is "Music" by SONY because i find it to work best with V4A. just move the apk to system app to work.normal install dont work!
SYSTEM APPS REMOVAL: I removed those system apps,freeing a good chunk of storage AND RAM, WHILE maintaining stability and no FC'S or bugs or anything.
there is the following:
ChocoEUKor
RoseEUKor
SNS
PanningtryActually.apk
Best face
My Files
Adapt sound(needed to install V4A)
Capability manager service
simcardpermission
CoolEUkor
DirectConnectManager
Direct ShareManager
DroidSerifitalic
Enterprise permissions
Multimedia ui service layer
Page buddy noti svc
Remote controls
Samsung link connectivity
SyncmlDS
daydreams
Live wallpaper support
contacts sync Google
Nfc
Internet(stock browser,replace w ith chrome)
Music FX
vpn dialogs
deep sea
voice record
FWDupgrade
music sto ck app
Cloud agent
bcservice
enterprise sim pinservice
Flashbar service
syscope service
vpn services
factory mode
factory mode
factory test
ims framework
indiservicemanager
MDMApp
OMACP
pickup tutorial
ultracfg
And with all that, i achieved very little Ram consumption and less Cpu cycles :good:
I hope you find this useful!
see attachments for my RAM usage without pressing clear all, and boeffla kernel profile of my own.give it a try!
sorry for long post!
cheers!

Thanks for this, just what I needed, I just got this phone.. upgraded from galaxy s1 =) .. looking for a close to stock experience with some adds, without any bugs, ( on s1 we had "SauROM" ) .. I hope theres something similar for this device. Maybe ill try archis , is there any other alternatives?

Im happy to help!
well, I must say that you should use the rom in the link first to see if you like sammy stock but a bit modded.there are many roms but ported Roms e.g Blekotas roms are indeed beautiful BUT due time eventually it starts to lag, which is not developers fault, its just a port.

I have a issue, When I tried to install the zip, my CWM has no options to do so. All I have done so far is install CF-root. Do I need to install a recovery separately? how and what recovery should I install? Should I get boeffla kernel first?
And is there anything I should be worried about, do I need to update bootloader or anything like that. my current version is: i9300XXUGNA5 , with CF root.
Just flash TWRP not cwm its not compatible

Go to playstore and install supersu, it will say that root binary must be updated.it will ask you to reboot if it is successful. Then go to playstorw again and install twrp manager.and install twrp.it should be quick!

Uber 600 is a toolchain and it should be the best kernel for this phone because its faster than other toolchains, but is just a tad less stable.it worth flashing though!!

Well,you are right,but,i prefer to post the basics because i want to people understand what are they doing instead of blindly doing things. Amplify is a very good app but you should know what you are doing!!
Anyways,thanks for these words and as always im very happy to help for anything!

I keep getting software update notifications, but I have installed a newer firmware (archis) than what I think the phone want to download (the latest version for my region, sweden is older than archis firmware in his thread).
going into settings I do not really see a option to disable to search for these updates.
Do you also get this?
You need to edit this post, you should not be advertising warez ...
The developer of the app in question is also a member of these forums and I wouldn't like him seeing other members pointing to his software being cracked...

Do you really think 4.3 makes impact on Camera quality???
Thanks to the OP and some comments here! Maybe black themes like this could help with the battery life as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/vrtheme-allbacksblack-s3-3-hologrey-t2341829
