[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!

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

Congratulations !!!
Hope the SMS error is fixed soon, that is a deal breaker for me sadly...
I will open a general thread for this project so we keep that thread only for development, of course if you wish

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!

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.

Custom OxygenOS

Since previous development thread was closed, I've been getting a lot of pms. Everyone thanks for the kind words and for offering me help. Thumbs up for this great community.
The reason I didn't post the link was because my laptop or my upload server let me down. At least that is what I saw when I woke up.
No big deal, thought I would upload it upcoming weekend. But as we all might know, today oos 2.2.1 was released. My custom oos was based on 2.2.x, so I was thinking to rebuild this rom again based on the latest software. Meaning it will take a couple of weeks before it will be ready.
So far this briefing. If you have questions regarding this rom, for now please ask in this thread.
Link to original thread:
COSX

To the features, just add the viper4android... And try to make the files app show the root directory too.

I feel you should post ur 2.2.1 build directly when its ready..take your time and i do support what u stand for!! and if possible add network speed indicator

Since there was no answer to this on the original thread, what do you mean by theme support? Layers?

I'll be patiently waiting for your release
But, for playing purpose, are there any guide somewhere to create a moded rom from a stock rom ?
I've been looking but all i could find was from 2012
I don't think it's as simple a remove/add apks from the rom zip :cyclops:

Request
Please donot remove the stock oos camera which has manual focus iso exposure .... __/\__ please

[ROM][Z3] CarbonROM Nougat 7.1 | UNOFFICIAL | Experimental / Under Development

Hi, I found a ROM around the web of Android Nougat 7.1 for our Z3. It seems is under development but it boots and works. I don't know the issues or problems that it has so I wanted to post it to try it and make known. The rom is here: dl.myself5.de/leo/CarbonROM/
It is not my project, is from Myself5 that I think is user of XDA. All the recognitions towards him.
If this topic is not in the correct forum, please the admins move it.

I'll check that. I have a z3 free to test

That rom IS 5.1 Lolipop, not Nougat.

Are you actually serious?
What do you think, why is there no thread for this already? Everyone I shared this link with I told its very early WIP, and not to share it.
I uploaded the builds so that I can download them to my laptop, and that some people who wanted a 7.1 build were able to use it.
While you even know that those are my builds, you did at no point think about sending a PM to me, asking if its ok to create a thread for it.
With that, I just deleted all prereleases of Carbon from my server, never ever expect me to release some preview or WIP builds again.
That does not only count for leo. Have fun being responsible for the deletion of all testbuilds for leo, aries, sumire and i9100.
@caqo71 that assumption is wrong. CR-5.1 is the internal versioning number for Android 7.1 (same as CM is using 14.1). Those builds were Android 7.1.0_r7.
I reported the thread, hoping to get it closed, and I will reference it every time someone asks me where the preview builds did go to. Have a very fun time on XDA.
EDIT: In case it was unclear: I am not against you posting builds of Carbon on XDA, of cause the whole team invites people to compile Carbon for their devices. What I am sepecifically against here, is that, instead of putting your own effort in here, and compiling it on your own, you made a thread about my builds, which is totally not ok, especially not without asking me.

Thread closed.
You cant just share stuff you find on the internet. You need to follow the forum rules (rule 12) before you decide to share it

this isnt the right category for such kind of thread.
To answer your question, none. Everyone has its own annoying bugs, or everyone is missing features that others have. Best so far was lineage os but latest update screwed up everything and the OP, for unknown reason, removed the older builds

Very useful: fast or not, battery Sot, important bugs or minor bugs, special features: vulkan, etc.
Please not fill threat with Volte and Godix. There are many fixes.
Important: post name of rom and build date!

Use any rom you want with Nagatobimaru kernel! Damn it is a great kernel.

RR cos they got wheater **** working

none of them and wrong section

Try one by one, you will find a real answer,.

Anyways, making threads asking what is the "best rom" is really pointless. Everyone loves something different, judgement is super subjective. If you were to ask me 2 years ago what the "best rom" would be, I would probably say ParanoidAndroid because of its clean interface. Fast-forward a couple months, then I would tell you that it is CrDroid, because feature packed roms are the best! Fast-forward until two months ago, I would tell you CarbonROM, because that's when I joined their team and became a developer for the ROM :silly:. Do you guys see my point? How about some constructive criticism and discussion like asking "What is your favourite N rom and why?" instead (That's what I changed the thread title to be, anyways )! So guys, what's your favourite N rom and why? Let's try to keep this discussion clear of any arguments and any XXX is better than XXX. I'll start!
AICP has been in the Android rom community for a very long time. Their head developers are cool, and they keep things organized and feature packed!

None because there's always something that end up broken. Camera, Fingerprint etc...

dirty unicorn is best 7.1 rom. fast fluid. just try one time you ll love it.

I think you should make a poll to see which rom is having the most user. About me, it is unofficial lineage os. I like that because the op there support for both fpc and goodix, and because lineage os is cyanogenmod's legacy...

what about Android Oreo? Redmi Note 3

It's Now boring to flash 7.1.2
So many Roms available for Redmi Note 3 pro
As it is now even available official update of MIUI.
Now is there any possibility of getting Oreo as Custom Rom ???? Via any sources ???
I think Google has Already realized the orignal OTA of Oreo..:victory:

If you have taken your time to use the search button you would have known that there are threads already created for this same discussion. Make yourself useful by also making the rom instead of asking unnecessary questions.
PS: I will be glad to be your rom tester when you are done making Android Oreo for our device

Lets keep all Oreo discussions in one thread
