Develop Bugs

[Q] No odexed roms? Why?

So I went through basically every ROM in the development thread, and was surprised that there was no odexed roms.
I know this phone isn't the same as the One XL, but over there we had all the stock ones odexed, and all the AOSP ones deodexed. I'm not saying all stock based roms for the S3 should be o'd, but why aren't a few o'd? Hell, not even one?
Just curious as odex provides better battery life and performance, but also makes it harder to mod.
Don't take this is me complaining or *****ing, but just curious as I searched "odex" in this section and the general, and nothing came up.

I've never had ROMs that were purposely odexed on any of my Android devices..

Really? I didn't either to be honest, thought it was bad and such.
Until I got the One X, I thought deodexed was best. Then I flashed an odexed rom and bam! Super smooth, amazing standby times, and 6 hours+ screen on time.

Well I sure could use better battery life so I'm also interested in finding out why there aren't any o'd ROMs out there for the GS3...

Should we make a request? To the devs in general, not just one.
The performance boost is also very noticeable, usually one or two roms are.

I'm using the stock rom with only root on it since there aren't any odex roms yet. I'll give it time as this phone still in the new development stages. Some real good Roms out there. The only think I would like is the extended toggles.

I think I may have to go back to stock too, with root of course.
I'm not seeing the better battery life I saw with stock.

for what it's worth, my sister and i both have the i747, hers is stock and i'm using a stock deodexed rooted ROM and our battery lives were pretty much the same over the last week when we were travelling (meaning the conditions like signal strength/type, screen time and etc were both the same)

I have never noticed better battery life with odexed roms. i have noticed smoother performance with odexed roms.

I was going to ask the same question. The majority of other phone forums are creating ROM's that are ODEXED; much better performance.
The Dev's are also stating that they "thought" DEODEXED had been better due to optimizations, but are now finding that ODEXED are actually running much better....
I'm on Stock and rooted and have zero problems. I've tried the custom ROM's in this forum and all create some level of lag; albeit very small, it is present. Also, with the custom ROM's I can never achieve more than 16-18hrs, with Stock, I can achieve a day+.

Yeah, odex is alot smoother. I wish there was an odexed custom ROM, makes a notable difference.

Odex is not really much smoother for sammy devices... through out all my sammy phones (sgs1, sgs2 and now this) ive always heard people qant these roms but they are hardly smoother (if smoother at all) and are a lot harder to mod/theme
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

With this being developer forums, I'd say if you want one bad enough, you will probably have to build one. I agree that odex ROMs can be a bit smoother but honestly the difference is negligible when considering the ease of being able to theme and flash specific mods. And as long as apks are properly de-compiled and re-compiled when being modified, then performance should be just as good on de-odexed.

Interesting. I assumed de-odexed was the way to go(since all the roms have it). I get about 36 hours but I'm a light user.

For those who haven't seen this, I was doing some research on this and posted in the General forum, really good info on both options; but, check out what one of the Elite XDA Dev's states regarding deodexed ROM's at the 1:56 mark of the video. Still really confused as to why no Dev's are creating odexed ROM's once they've completed their customizations???

I think its because they still want to leave the door open for user customizations, which is pretty nice, but I have a thread on how to odex your rom back up. Check my sig guys.

I saw this, does this re-odex both system/apps and framework?

The key point here is theming, once done the ROM needs to be re-odexed for optimal performance as minute as it may be. I personally prefer stock ROM's, I don't care about all the fancy theming, etc. I do use a custom launcher that changes some things, but for the most part, it's a stock base.

Ok, just tried this on the Triune II ROM based on UCALH1 and it doesn't appear to work, most apps FC'ing.

Yes, odexes all the system apps and framework. Try fixing permissions, that did it for me.

Best version of CyanogenMod

So, I rooted my phone. I use stock but have had CM for my Evo in the past. I like the idea of getting JB and getting auto updates by having CW update checker. I decided I would like to try CM for these reasons and to stop the OTA push that I keep getting. I know that there are ways to remove this but would rather go to CM. My question is, I noticed there isnt a stable version for the GS3 and there is only a snapshot for the M series, so what has been the most stable version to use. I saw the comments section in CW on CM 10 nightly for the 10/5 update and it seemed to have good reviews. Anyone want to chime in here? This is my everyday phone and would like a version I can rely on and have it update via the clockwork mod.

aokp!
if I was you I would go with the aokp ROM in the original dev section, I've tried the cm10 it just isn't stable, if you use the aokp ROM with the kernel from the same dev you'll get crazy battery life, crazy performance, stability and everything you're looking for on a daily driver, the only thing I think that's still wrong anybody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 4g is not working quite yet, but I'm in a 3g area so not an issue for me lol

Crap, there is just way too much info out there my head is about to explode. Never heard of aokp, anything you DONT like about that rom other than the 4g issue? I wouldn't mind having JB but I really dont feel like dealing with crap not working, bugs etc. I had to deal with CM on my EVO having bug issues with Bluetooth and it was annoying. If I stayed root using stock and just did OTA updates it would just break root right? It only screws things up if you have a flashed rom I thought. My thought process would be to just leave things the way they are and just wait for JB to be release OTA and just re root. Or does the OTA just fail when you are rooted?

If you like cm10/cm9 you would def like aokp, its like cm but just way more customization, more options, and with a nice kernel aokp is the best, apart from the 4g issue NOTHING is wrong with the aokp ROM, is buttery smooth, good battery life no glitches I've been using aokp for a while no problems on my end

Im thinking about swithing to CM but with my current rom and kernel combo i never get anything less than 5½ hours of screen time,sometimes it can reach 6hrs.
Does CM have comparible battery life?
I read somwhere in CM threads that Twiz roms have optimized Qualcomm dalvic cache(or something like that) and CM doesnt,so this takes toll an battery life.I dont know if there is any truth to that

idk about cm I only tried a few of their nightly builds and they seemed to be getting more unstable every day, the only ROM that I've found stable is the aokp, without using the phone for more than a few texts a calls I can get around 20 hours battery, playing hardcore games the whole time about 7 hours, I would post screen shots if I had em, and all this is with the processor overclocked to 2.1 GHz I bet you can get more out of the battery without messing with the processor

as far as roaming goes if you go thru the aokp threat for our phone there seems to be an issue, only for some people tho, I couldn't let you know myself since Ive never lost signal from sprint I got pretty good solid 3g coverage in my area

Did you say that you get 7hrs of screentime on a single charge?
Best i got is 6hrs with brightness set half way,wifi on,sync off and orplane mode on.
Are you sure?7hrs sound to good to be true.

What 4g issues r u all referring to on AOKP? I don't have any.

So I loaded both Mods and I didn't really like AOKP but just have to tinker with the visuals I think and it will grow on me. Cyanogen was what I expected except the Bluetooth with voice dialer or phone wont work. I will queue the Bluetooth and voice dial will come on but wont hear my command. If I manually go into the phone app it will disconnect when I get in an active call. I am going to tinker with AOKP a bit more but if it doesnt impress I think I will end up just going back to stock rooted and just unroot when an OTA update is pushed and reroot it. I dont think the wait for Jelly Bean is going to be that much longer anyways. I was happy with stock, just didnt like the constant bother when OTA update is pushed but not as annoying as the things I find in the other ROMS. I will give AOKP a bit more time to adjust first.
Just read up on another thread that this is a common issue to have with BT and JB. Sigh, it was worth a shot.
FWIW That animation boot logo on AOKP is so incredibly gay (No offense to anyone) thank god they allow you to change it easily.

Dont have LTE right now so hoping no issues by the time it rolls out here. If someone could educate me though, I noticed I dont even connect to 4G is this different and not available on the GS3 from the 4G I was connecting to on my EVO. In other words is there a backwards compatible 4G? It seems to search only for 4G LTE which we dont have so I am only connecting 3G. Kinda sucks I cant even use regular 4G.
Flashed back to stock rooted and glad I did. I like everything working. The only thing I miss now is the ability to be in my locked screen and have it in landscape mode. Seems as though it only goes into landscape after I unlock. I use the stock ticker and clock and would be cool to have those in landscape while leaving it locked.
I wonder if any of those orientation apps in the market would fix this. Just dont want to throw away a few bucks and not have it work

[Q]TouchWiz Themes, Mods, Tweaks, Add-ons, etc...

Have a dumb question in which I am sure a lot of threads have been created about it but I cant seem to find one thread that at least displays what works on our T-Mobile variant SGS3.
What I want to know is what themes work, add-ons, tweaks, etc.
Themes: There are a lot to choose from with the "OMG 19 Themes" aroma install but there are a lot more themes that are located in the other SGS3 variant forums. I've managed to get one of the International version "Glass Theme" to work with a few adjustments. Basically it would be nice to see if there was a thread on here to show what themes work and what does not.
Add-ons:Multi-Window, Ink Effect (Multiple Colors), Pop-up Broweser, Volume Rocker Skip track, Back-To-Kill, Multi-Dpi TouchWiz apps, TouchWiz launcher features, etc...
A lot of these add-ons can be found in some of the TWRoms available but wouldnt it be nice to have a thread that gives us the freedom to have these be installed on any TWRoms?
Dumb thread I am sure but I am bored at work so....

Personally I like aosp roms such as cyanogemmod 10.1 over the touchwiz stuff, i just can't stand using the default stock sg3 rom, it's just annoying in a lot of ways. if you were to switch over to aosp i would give you suggestions on tweaks etc, i get blazing fast speeds of data at 8mb/s i get like amazing battery life, my battery usually lasts 2 days no charge before reaching 14% so I don't think touchwiz has all those features but hey I could give you one kernel that i recomend for you that also works on touchwiz, It's the kt747 kernel.
Here is link for that amazing powerful and battery saving kernel. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
make sure you download either touchwiz version or aosp kernel version because flashing aosp kt747 kernel on touchwiz rom will put u in a bootloop.
good luck

Rawdaddy,
One good app i can suggest you find on the play store is the air push detector because that app will save you from malware bastards who make bad software that pushes spam notifications to your phone that drain your battery. air Push detector is like your antivirus or firewall or the malwarebytes of the phone world. it will knwo all malicious apps after it scans them.
i also use the room toolbox lite which allows you to get tweaks mods etc and even edit buildprops but i'd be careful when editing build props or using roomtoolbox make sure you backup your current rom so if u mess up any settings then you can always go back. One of the most important things I can suggest when it comes to watching downloaded movies on your big gs3 screen phone is to use BS PLAYER, u can get it from the android app store.
I've tested every movie player out there and the only one that is perfect and can run every video well without errors is the bsplayer, if u notice mobo player u might not hear sound but see video and mxplayer vice fersa yet bsplayer can play all hd 720p movies very well. I'm an online movie downloader from scene sites.
another suggestion i recomend is to stay away from MIUI roms and also Jovy's roms such as his xperia, it usually takes Jovy about 5 release updates to get things right, i've tried his roms and data doesn't work right and after im done talking to a person the proximity sensor gets screen stuck on black.
MIUI is just complete junk, i'm a crack flasher flashaholic and I know definately that stuff need serious work for people to even consider seriously, they want to imitate the ios look but the whole things is unstable and battery life sucks.
Use Liquidsmooth Rom if you want super stabiltity.
I'm enjoying the cm10.1 and facebook is working on it just fine.
I also dont' recomend installing themes on any cm10 build, battery life will die.
For battery tips I would recomend you clear battery stats before flashing a new rom and drain your battery all the way, let it fully die then plug it in without unpluging at all until it finishes charging and you should notice great improvement.
Also don't keep battery plugged in yor charger overnight after it's fully charged because i heard that puts excess electricity in your battery and phone causing issues and your battery life won't be prolonged.

Well to be honest ive pretty much tried every rom that there is available for us to use. Ive even tried AT&T roms. From stock ics touchwiz to jb touchwiz. Ive tried most if not all aosp roms aokp roms cm roms paranoid roms pacman roms and I'm still not able to stick with one rom.
Most if not all Aosp based roms suffer from screen flickering and the wake up black screen of death. Some roms have features I like while the others have better visual settings.
I recently just went back to TW roms. Thata why I want to know what I can do to improve my experience with these roms.

Umm. There is some questionable advice in this post. Clearing battery stats? Not sure the poster understands what that does based on his other misinformation. You can leave the phone on the charger overnight without any issues. The phone recognizes the full charge and allows it to run down a bit before charging again. In the morning when you pull it off the charger it may appear to discharge fast but that is because it was not a full charge. That is not an issue. Running the battery dry is also bad info. It can damage the cells in the battery. Don't trust me. Do a little research and see if you come to a different conclusion.

Swallowing my pride- help!

Hello XDA!
I haven't gotten around to messing around with my Note 4 for a while, but I've been having some issues and this site has been good to me in the past, so I thought i'd ask. I have a fully stock Note 4, and it's been having a few issues. I get about 1-2 hours of screen on time with Google Play Services taking up a LOT of battery, and my phone is running pretty slow. Also, i'll randomly lose GPS signal on long car drives. I rooted it way back when I first got it but something happened to the recovery so I flashed it back to stock. I haven't been keeping up to date with the jargon and cool stuff that anyone's been coming out with and i'm leaving for college soon, but can anyone recommend a really stable ROM with minimized bloatware, and a fix for my battery (and maybe something for speed?). I'm leaving for college in five days and i've been busy packing, but I looked through the Q&A and onto a few other threads that mentioned Xposed and some good ROMS and some battery fixes, but i've been away for a while and I can't really understand what anything is. I used to mess around a lot with my phones, but I haven't been doing it as much lately. Any help would be appreciated!

First we need to know what software you're on, nk2, ocg , oe1. 5.1.1 or 5.0.1?

Anything else you need?

I've been running this rom. It's mostly stock but very stable. The 5.1.1 builds are just starting to come out due to 5.1.1 being the newest software. The developer is working on an update with some goodies as we speak.

Any idea what to do for the battery?

You might have a rogue app running eating your battery. If that's the case usually a factory reset will help. I personally feel like I'm getting the best battery life ever on this rom. I don't always monitor the actual time on. But the seat of the pants meter is telling me I'm getting excellent battery life. YMMV..

Thanks... However, it was "Google Services" that was taking up the most battery, and I read that there was a fix for it. Any suggestions?

Not sure about that.

Should I keep this phone?

My previous phone was/is LG G3. Everything was fine, except it is just damn too large. I'm 6'3 and my hands are huge, yet I wasn't able to text with one hand, so I thought I get the 5 inch phone. So far I love the G925T. I like the edge displaying clock, however, how much battery does it drain if I leave it over night? Does this mean the entire display is in use for the 8-10 hours I have it on?
Second, I always hated Samsung OS, especially their launcher, S6 is no different. I have been using Nova launcher for years and using it in G925T as well. Can I uninstall the original launcher with Titanium Backup? I already debloated it as much as I could. Also, I find this phone lagging from time to time, which I find strange, having so much power. When I had Nexus 5, I never experienced any lagging. I'd love to use a custom ROM, but I like some stock features, especially the WiFi Calling.
Also, this morning I bricked my phone flashing the TWRP and had to reflash to stock. I keep it rooted, but with stock recovery for now, until I hear different. It is my understanding that there is no recovery for G925TUVU3DOI1 yet.
What do people thing about this phone? Is it a keeper or just something transitional?

I like it. It's not a bad phone for the size. I think the camera is fantastic, it opens really quick when double tapping home button. I had the G3 when it first came out, but gave it up early for lack of development. Then the note 4 and then s6 edge. The development is a little slow for the t mobile firmware, i think there's 3 or 4 to choose from. But on the other hand, the international 920/925 roms work on our phones with no issues other than having to flash a call patch zip file. I haven't experienced much lag, if any, from a custom rom or kernel. Some may be linked to adding xposed framework as it's not 100% bug free, but it's close.

And I've been impressed with battery life considering its smaller than what I had on the note 4 and definitely gets me thru a 12 hour work day listening to music and streaming radio. And if it doesn't, the quick charge gives me enough juice in a short amount of time to get me thru

And you can adjust the time that the phone displays the clock in the edge panel

no there wont be any decent development with an exynos so if you are after performance and decent battery life look elsewhere.

I've enjoyed it since release. Battery life could be better, but with a custom ROM and kernel, it lasts me through a day. Plus for me, the camera makes up for it. Some of the edge features are nifty too.
BTW you can flash TWRP on the DOI1 firmware. I'm running XstreStoLite 2.4 with UniKernel v9 on the DOI1 baseband and no issues. Unfortunately, I think XstreStoLite is bassed on 925I firmware, which means no WiFi calling or VOLTE.
