[DISCUSSION][I9300][Touchwiz][Android 4.4.4] -->back-to-n00t by arter97<--

Since Samsung stopped supporting the international galaxy S3 model (aka GT-I9300) claiming that the culprit is that it only has 1 GB RAM, so system apps cannot be run correctly, XDA Developers refused to settle down releasing the first milestone named ArchiPort, and here comes the other BIG EVENT.... :victory:
This is a discussion thread for the "back-to-n00t" project by @arter97, where latest Touchwiz Android 4.4.4 ported to the I9300 from the Korean version SHV-E210S, to keep the origional development thread clean and only development-related ...
before getting started, you must remember the what-so-called a disclaimer:
Your Warranty is now voided!
neither @arter97 nor me nor anybody is responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, exploded phones.
It's your choice to flash this ROM, not anybody else. If you don't know what you are doing, then i strongly advice you to do some research, or leave it until it is complete.
Also Mind that this is still Work-in-Progress
-->Features<--
**Stock Touchwiz Android 4.4.4**
**Heavily De-bloated**
**Deodexed, zipaligned, uncompressed**
**De-KNOXed**
What you need to know:
-->This ROM file contains kernel modified specifically for this ROM.
-->This ROM is heavily debloated, so it is very likely to find some system apps missing
-->This ROM does not supports any other custom kernels including arter97 kernel.
-->This is based on Korean firmware, some stuffs may remain in Korean(e.g. Dialer).
-->BusyBox or Superuser is not included!

Can you recommend one, for instance the one you are using??

Congrats!
I want to congratulate to @arter97 for his work, I'll being paying attention until stable ROM release to try it :fingers-crossedOnly one device to use, I can't permit me to lose connection :crying.
Question: I'm from chile... If I install this ROM, need to install local modem to avoid "no network" issue? (Obviously making backup of EFS before flashing).
Thanks!
Note: I can't see screenshots in official post "[I9300] [Touchwiz Android 4.4.4] back-to-n00t; Bring the LTE fun back to 3G". Please, upload more to another site!!!
Note 2: I think is the link in post that no allow me see the pictures.... No!! It's @arter97's website, error 404.

Concerning the modem question i also have the same question asked in the development thread.
Screenshots and downloads question: i think arter's site is down for a while may be...
I am also having the same issue here when trying to download
We have to wait for arter's website to get back so i can download it and post screenshots

FYI

Hope the SMS error is fixed soon, that is a deal breaker for me sadly...

Yeah, that's my fear... I love custom ROMs, but my first experience was awful, I lost connection to network and sim was asking for PIN number... I had to send to repair my S3, only with 2 weeks of usage!!! (that occured 3 months ago) :crying:
Now, I'm using S5 Sensation ROM and I think is great, but I want to try others available developments
Greetings!

Yeah i noticed now
So you advice that thread should be closed?
But I think there will be so much fuss about it later, for example after it was discovered that SMS seems to be fixed with third-party apps.
And when the KK kernel source for the korean model is released, it will be more stable... So
May be @arter97 says something about this thread. If he wants that this thread must be closed then i have no problems... I just wanted to help
I am having connection problems here so i didn't see a lot of replies in the development thread. Thanks for letting me know..

I ask all of you to donate to the developers ..
They work every day to give us a free firmware kitkat stable ...
In a few hours have succeeded with hard work to give us a firmware almost totally stable ... finally soon we will have a stable firmware "semi-official"! :laugh::highfive::good:
Sorry for english!

You need to download the ROM first

Is this ROM Sudden Death fix patched??

As kernel indicates the battery capacity in milliamp Android system , eg have a battery of 3500mAh and 2100mAh system warns all application says that the kernel is providing this information , but the forums only talk about percentage . excuse the word as it is not my native language.

[WIP] Who wants full AOSP/CM12 (Android 5.0+) Support of the Moto G 2014? [XT1064/68]

Hi everyone! You guys probably don't know me (Shawn5162) because I haven't been active in the Moto G 2014 forums (except for my restore tool for windows) but I am very active in other device forums such as the Galaxy S5, Note 10.1 2014 Edition, LG G3, etc. In those forums I am defiantly a recognized dev, mostly for porting or compiling ROMs . But the reason I landed in this forum is because I recently I got a new device...the Moto G 2014 and feel it is a great device. But to my shock there were NO great ROMs for this device (by no means am a hatting on the 1 or 2 ROMs here). And that's where I come into play. I am a dev who has a lot of experience with AOSP and compiling and thus want to bring forth a great AOSP ROM for this device. Now I there will be no problem building it as I have experience and if do run into any issue I can refer to the Moto G 2013 devs (since both devices share almost identical specs). Also the AOSP ROM will always be on the latest version of Android (I promise i'll try my best). After all, the good thing about AOSP ROMs is you can have great levels of customization. Now there is a slim chance of failure in the project (like 1% only because everything in life has a chance of failing) but if everything goes well you guys will have a great dev supporting a great ROM. Finally, thanks for your cooperation and I will keep you guys posted all the way.
Sincerely,
Shawn5162
Also if you guys want this project to happen...please comment in the XDA comment section below.

2: screen and touch
And a lot not knowin yet.
Bugs:
1: no Sound
2: no ril
3:no screenshots
4: not conformed but sdcard
Still testing
So I can't test the ROM right now because of a bug .
When the device boots for the first time and you go after WiFi
It will search for sim card and the ril is not working soo it won't finish searching .
So as I said it's still beta and testing.
If u won't to ask anything there u go and if u want to help u can pm me.
Q: When it's coming ?
A: soon after fixing some bugs.and it will take a lot of time to upload because of my slow internet.
If there are any devs how want to help plz pm me.
Now I'm building beta 2 and will test it soon .
If it works I will start uploading.:laugh:
Note : if u pm me and I didn't answer plz wait I have exams and I'm busy or testing roms

MIUI is open source, and v6 is out. I recommend you try porting from the source directly. It may/may not require more effort. BTW, I had tried porting MIUI also, and RIL was working then. Try copying some related libs. I had used Aapav's CyanogenMod 11 as the base ROM.

Is there a good rom with minimal bugs available for samsung j500h?

Hi Good people of XDA, i'm just wondering if there is any available custom rom for j500h, a pre-rooted marshmallow rom would be good, I search a few but the roms for j500h always has a problem with wifi connectivity, and there's no available fix yet. I hope you can recommend good roms for me. Especially my fellow j500h users out there Hi guys
Thank you so much and God Bless us all

I'm using latest cm12.1 since some time and it's a badass. Phone never lagged & has more free ram. The only bug is that FM-Radio is not working and I think some guy said that SpiritFM is working.
In latest release, some people reported random reboot. You can fix it manually. In your case, having J500H, just flash the provided zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69375277&postcount=334 .
I'm using latest release on my J500FN and fixed it manually and didn't have any problem.
Nick doesn't have enough space on his PC to have both sources (cm12 and cm13) to build and today I'm gonna build cm12.1 from source for J500FN with the manually fix included (Nick Verse done this) and I will try to include JustArchi optimizations (Google it) which are supposed to make phone faster. I don't know if phone will boot with these optimisations and lack knowledge, but Google and Nick might help me If everything goes right, then i will build for the other mofels too. So, it's your choice if you'll wait.
Also, I'm planning to build more ROMS based on 5.1.1 like RR, Vanir, SlimLP / SlimSaber for all J5 models ( I will need Nick help to figure out how to make it for all models from sources).

Requirement of Paranoid Android Rom (AOSPA) for Moto G4 Plus

Hello everyone, the Paranoid Android (AOSPA) team has released their much awaited nougat 7.1.2 build for a handful of devices. Is it possible for the developers to port the rom to our Moto G4 Plus? If so, when can we expect to receive an official AOSPA rom for our device i.e Moto G4 Plus? Thanks in advance to the developers.

Athene is a pretty popular choice around ROMing. (LineageOS has 20795 installs on Athene) I would at least expect an unofficial build made by someone. Let's just hope they release an official build for Athene.

I have come to know that the team officially doesn't provide support for too many devices except Oneplus, Oppo, Pixel and the Nexus ones. So the chance of getting an official build is less. So in that case we have to look for an unofficial build.

Just wondering is there any update on Aospa for athene, official or unofficial?
:good:

Maybe this mean something. I dont know.
