Aosp roms discussion thread. [Minor FAQ inside] - Galaxy S III General

This thread is for discussing aosp roms, like Slim, Carbon, etc. except for CM though since it has its own thread. This is meant to keep the unhelping chit-chatter out of the development threads where bug reports best reside. When posting here, clarify what aosp rom you're on. Do not post bug reports here, post them in their respective development threads!
One more thing! While this thread progresses, use search and/or read the faq to see if your question has already been posted before, to avoid repetitiveness and us older lads becoming grumpy.
F.A.Q: (frequently asked questions)
I would like to dualboot, what should I do?
Flash siyah kernel
Help! I flashed siyah and now my rom doesn't boot!
It's because whatever rom you use has a newer mali driver which most kernels aren't updated for. Especially siyah which hasn't seen some dev love in ages.
What rom should I flash?
We don't know, you have to try them out yourself!
What's gapps, and is this inside xx rom?
Gapps is short for google apps, which is the Play store and some other apps you sorely need. Go too http://goo.im/gapps and download the gapps package for whatever version you have. Newer aosp roms are most certainly 4.2.2. Some roms, like Slim, have their own separate gapps packages specially made for those roms. In those cases, the standard gapps from goo.im will not work!
Help! I flashed xx rom but now it doesn't boot!
Try making a factory reset in the recovery and reflash whatever rom you were on. Also, in most cases, CWM works better for rom installations. Twrp craps out for unknown reasons.
Help! I wiped data and reflashed the rom but it still doesn't boot!
That sounds like a rom issue. Try flashing an earlier version of the rom.
Help! Something screwed up and now my phone doesn't boot anymore!
Well, reboot into recovery and see if a reflash helps. It is always recommended to regularly keep your system backed up in case something nasty happens. Perform a nandroid backup every once in a while.
What is a nandroid backup?
It's like a screenshot of your current state which you can return to if something bad happens. A nandroid backup backs up the system, boot (kernel) and data and, if specified/selectable, it also backs up cache and recovery. Maybe even efs (in twrp). However, it doesn't back up the modem!
I flashed xx kernel and I now get a black screen upon reboot!
That is because the rom you flashed has the new mali driver from the 4.2.1 leak and the kernel you flashed isn't updated with this driver. Stay on the provided kernel for now.
Thanks to:
I forgot to give thanks where due, and I'm so sorry for that. If I got an advice from you, hit me up and your name goes on this list.
C_tho; for mentioning the mali driver stuff.
Noble Sir Slaphead20; for suggesting I'd maintain an FAQ and suggesting I'd make an entry covering gapps.

great..let me fire up first noob ?...other than siyah any other kernel supports dual boot of cm & sammy rom/ cm or aokp...
edit i know its kernel ? but still related to cm or aokp...

Only Siyah, and Siyah only supports the older aosp roms.
Speaking of aosp, I just had an urge to flash Carbon. Think I'll do it, because I'm a bit bored of running touchwiz and I've run CM for so long I need change. I didn't like RootBox that much (too many settings, lol. I like a "leaner" setup) and there's no official aokp for our device. I also didn't like Slim, so I'll give Carbon another go.

What DSA said. We do not welcome JellyBam here anymore because the developer broke a lot of rules of XDA. Plagiarism and violating the gpl, amongst others.
----------
I updated the op with a small faq. More to come in the following days.

In the Faqs it might be worth mentioning in the gapps bit that some Roms ie slim, have their own gapps, and others won't work

Just flashed Carbon 1.5, not regretting it thus far! This ROM gives the word buttery smooth a whole new meaning!

Not sure this goes here, but ill give it a go anyways.
In the Slimbean thread there was a lot of talk about mali drivers. Now could someone please give me some info on the matter cause seems like I missed something.
Basicly what im wondering is whats up with the mali drivers and why do I want them?
Sorry if this is off-topic or has been answered somewhere else.

The only problem with SuperNexus is it is updated very slowly. Also Faryaab has exams to do now, so it will not get updated at least until he is done with them.
If you want a super light rom I would reccomend SlimBean it's fast, and light, battery is acceptable, and it's easy to change settings like screen density and navbar settings without having to edit build.prop and decompile framework-res.apk, which you will have to do on SuperNexus.

what about the smoothness of it?

Another one there to vouch for Carbon, running it on both phone and tablet

I love AOSP Roms and thank you for starting this thread. Unfortunately I am afraid that I can't use such Roms as a daily driver because of the camera problems. Bluetooth also seems to be a problem for some users.

Guys I am facing Memory leak problem with the Slim bean 4.2.2.....is it normal? cant seems to find any solution....

you'd be better off asking in the slim thread

Team Nyx
-- DemonWav -- Nushor -- Onecosmic -- PaulForde -- RaymondDull -- Trae32566 --​
This ROM is based directly on the source code straight from Google themselves, the way Android is meant to be. This ROM is produced by a collaboration of many different people, with the main development being done by Onecosmic himself. We strive to bring releases as often as possible and provide a stable AOSP ROM.
We are in the midst of many changes and will try to have our source code back up as soon as possible.
We do not support anything that is not produced by us!
Team ICSSGS is now Team Nyx!
We have made lots of changes, and part of that includes moving our base from XDA to our own website. All information, as well as downloads will be on our website, but please continue your discussions and we will continue our support here on the forums.

The kernel wasn't changed, actually. And there is a chance, but we're focusing on the big issues now, we'll put more features in later.
is this build going to be pure ASOP first? the other thread was talking of changing the "crappy" battery icon and other stuff.

That's another thing, that other thread was complete bullcrap. We are focusing 100% on AOSP at the moment. I'm working on side flashes to try to improve the rom, but they are not a part of the rom or have anything to do with Onecosmic.
I don't know why you said it won't boot. I'm on a7 with captivate kernel you posted in google code. Can't get 3g working yet but it boots just fine
If I want to flash from apex 11 w/ dark kernel, what's the process I should go through?

Download the required files (ROM, Kernel, and SU fix), and make sure you have a GB Bootloader.
1. Backup your files, and do a Nandroid
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik. No need to wipe system because it's done already on the updater script.
4. Install .zip from SD card. First of all flash the ROM, then go for the Kernel.
5. Reboot, the first boot takes longer.
6. Setup your account.
7. Boot to recovery, and install the SU.zip to grant you with Root access.
8. Reboot, and enjoy.
Notice I do not ask you to wipe and flash several times, it honestly works at the first attempt.
Good Luck.
dumb question is this still a port for the captivate ? and will flashing this mean you need specific boot loaders to start I run i9000 boot loaders and sorry for posting question here but never got an answer in the q&a will ICS support HSDPA like JVT did?
Just wanted to thanks guys. This is awesome.
@OP
Is it the same thing to go to: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/downloads/list, download the A7 ROM "ICS_4.0.1_r1-alpha7.zip", and flash the Captivate Kernel? Or are you uploading a different version, with more changes?
I am asking because I honestly feel like this A7 update is a tad slower than the A6 i downloaded previously. (The A6 zip i was linked to already merged both the Kernel, and the ROM into one same updater script.)

Yes, It is working for the Captivate. So far, all you have to do is download the I900 ROM, and then flash the Captivate kernel.

It is the same, I am just packaging it up to simplify it for the noobs. I just uploaded a .zip, then I realized that I had screwed up with it, so I'm re-uploading now.
EDIT: As for it being slower, Alpha 7 has some wicked partitioning changes that should speed it up. Of course we are always trying to make it better, but HW Accel. is built into Alpha 7.

The Unofficial CyanogenMod Series - added aokp-jellybean test build

Hi all I will be working this a little. But don't expect anything to great. I don't have a whole lot of time to work on this. I bricked my phone and not having much luck getting it replaced. So I won't be working on this to much until I can get a new phone as I will be spending all my time working.
Most stuff posted here is probably gonna be untested.
I will be posting cm7, cm9, and cm10 builds here.
Idk if any of these work.
Don't get mad at me if they brick your device. Infact treat them with a high chance of brickage, unless otherwise noted.

You'll likely receive a lot of flak over re-hosting/posting stuff as you've seen thus far, but if you're offering something you've re-worked in any way(which is what I understand you're doing) then I'd stick with just that and link to other threads in your OP if necessary.
If you compiled from CM10 source here we have CM10 kernel for Captivate (no datadata partition).
This is very interesting.
Thank you very much: if compiling went well this is really an important step for JB on Cappy and now we can run also official Pawitp builds.

If there was a single best rom, all other roms' threads would have been closed in the dev section. But has it been done? No! This is because every user has different views about different roms. The dev of a particular rom designed it with features and themes that he liked. So you gotta try different roms, and see which one you like the most. If you didn't like any one of 'em, use stock or make your own custom rom. Now i suppose you've understood why we don't encourage these kinds of threads here.

If there was a single best rom, all other roms' threads would have been closed in the dev section. But has it been done? No! This is because every user has different views about different roms. The dev of a particular rom designed it with features and themes that he liked. So you gotta try different roms, and see which one you like the most. If you didn't like any one of 'em, use stock or make your own custom rom. Now i suppose you've understood why we don't encourage these kinds of threads here.

I kinda had forgot about even posting that. It's been more than a month!
||I'm just a PM away for help||
Since I'm a noob and have a noob question I'm going to hijack this thread instead of starting a new one since my question is related to this topic:
I see many of you are frequently switching roms on your devices. Testing out new ones regularly. Do you always have to re-download all your apps and tweak their settings after each time? Or is there some way to back up all the apps and their settings before flashing and restore everything on the new rom?
I just got this phone a couple of days ago and immediately decided to try a different rom (stock one drains battery) so I went for chobits digitalis and am very happy (only found one bug, maybe two), but I had to re-download everything I had and tweak all settings back the way the were manually after flashing... Unless there's a way?
Jellyblast v3.03

Battery % in top right action bar?

Is there a mod for our Nexus 4 that changes the stock battery icon in the top right to a circle, or at least shows a %?
I had this mod on my old Atrix 2 that I just upgrade from, and I miss it a lot...
Yes I searched before I made the new thread, and could only find stuff for other phones...
It's not ROMd but I do plan on rooting soon. I'd like to avoid ROMing as I am very satisfied with the stock one.

that´s a standard cyanogen feature...
give cm a try, it´s stable like stock
CM10 is the one I should use then?
I'm reading the guide right now on how to root/rom etc...
Will I need a different kernel too?
Also, this is another issue I'm having, will CM10 fix this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41861539#post41861539
If you want to avoid flashing to the latest nightly of the Rom, I recommend MiNCO as it's near stock with minimal customization and updates. You can change the battery icon like in CM.

Thats the one Id recomend; you don't need another kernel, as all Roms come with a kernel already bundled in. However you can install other kernels instead.
And yes, CyanogenMod will allow you to make those changes straight away, just go into launcher settings and system from the settings app in CM.

Here is a mod you can do on stock ROM if you want to avoid installing custom ROMs; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227222

Ok, so the more I read about CM10.1, the more I don't want to ROM the phone...
They do daily updates? Does that mean I have to reflash every day?!
Also, there are a TON of different CM10.1 versions... which should I use...?

Those are nightlies. They fix some bugs and build every day. You can flash them and post some bugs or something.
But recently they released the first stable version. You can flash it and wait untill there is another one.
I flashed everyday the nightlies and they are as stable as stock so no worry about that. And you don't have to flash every nightly if you don't want. Just flash them when you feel to.

Leaked 4.4.2 ROM for European GS4

Do you think this ROM works in our ATT GS4?.
And what steps are needed if it does?.
Thank you.

Its for the I9505, there is a good chance it could be ported over to work for us.

Maybe yes, butbis necessary to change the modem. I think we need to wait.

Yep, I suspect in 24-48 hours you'll see flashable zips to load if you are lucky enough to have CWM/TWRP.

And it would be REALLY great if they were just developer bases, not these full, all out themed and screwed with ROMs.... we need more developer base ROMs being posted and distributed to the masses just being rooted, debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned, init.d support, and a few other tweaks!
Here's the link to SAMMobile's post about the leak:

Seeing how you have mentioned this, I am taken Vision X exactly to the stock only route. It is getting to be a royal pain in the butt to theme these quick releases over and over...
Vision X is fixing to be a lite tweaked stock rom....
and on this KitKat 4.4, finishing the build right now.....

and THANK YOU for doing so! Leave the theming to the individual, keep it light and stock, and you'll have yourself a winner for sure! All the mods in the world don't mean crap if it keeps randomly rebooting, FC'ing apps without any explanation, and getting bogged down for no reason....

Let me ask, is there a demand for the stock over the themed? Because, when I build my roms, I run my stock version, and build the themed for the people...so if there is a demand, I sure would go that route....

Honestly after seeing how well Goldeneye and SHOstock have gone over here....stock, tweaked is where it's at now days. I know Venom makes his builds but most like the stock look and will use aroma type theme somewhere else. I know themes and png hunting was a pain for me when I made mine. Just wasn't worth it ha

I've seen some demand and even wondered why stock bases weren't being made. Stock base means you can focus on debugging the ROM and not themes and if you're like me you use xposed and other things to customize everything anyways. If anything you could still make the themed files a flashable add on or something.

Don't let me dictate what should or shouldn't be done, everything I'm suggesting are just my personal opinions, but I think developers bases are the best things about TouchWiz, and use those over all the crazy themed / modded ROMs any day! When you do too much to a ROM, there's always going to be problems, and the number of posts on a ROM thread gets to be so long not with people stopping by to say "thanks," but to say "this is broken, why and what do I need to do to fix it?" Again, just my two pennies!
Thank you everyone, I have now the information I need, Vision is going strictly stock. I will get bombed at first, but, it will die down, and it makes for a more stable, clean, crisp, and faster rom. So, let me start with this 4.4 KitKat....it is going to be pure stock here in a few....

I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but it really doesn't matter what people think, only what they do, and if you drop this new 4.4.2 leak as a stock base, I'll be the first one to support it! Good luck, looking forward to it!
Thanks a lot for your answers, I can't believe my Samsung gs4 is the only android device of all of them without the latest android version, so much for the next big thing is here , lol

With the xposed framework and modules, no need for you to do theming. I've noticed that the i9505 builds come out to fast, I don't know how you could keep updating so often. I'm definitely looking forward to TW.
