I know most people are probably still using either 4.3 or maybe even 4.1.2 but for any of you who are using KitKat, have you tried using ART runtime for any length of time? If you have, have you seen any benefits and/or negatives? I know there are going to be apps that don't work well with it but haven't been brave enough to try it for myself yet.
Over on the Nexus 7 forums there are people who are claiming using ART is getting them a few extra hours worth of use, I wonder if that will translate to our S3?
I also don't know enough about it yet to know if there are any potential negatives to trying it?
You don't really need a new thread for this. There is tons of information out there, much on these forums that will tell you everything you want to know about ART.
^^^^^^ +1
Crespo,
OK. Let me rephrase, I'm not asking about art in general. I know there are a lot of sources explaining it but I've searched and haven't found anything specific to my t999 tmo s3. In reading threads of specific devices it seems like the results are device specific, that's the reason I made the thread. If the only thing you have to say is 'why did you make this thread' then why bother responding at all?
I've tried it with my s3 and I felt it was more responsive and smooth in doing specific tasks comparing it to dalvik, but I never run aosp/cm too long to test the battery usage between the two

If you want to see performance of ART on T999, Flash a 4.4.x rom and see for yourself.
Personally, what @ktoonsez said is good enough for me.

Alright I'll admit, you're right.
Thus, in that case. What I have to say now is: why don't you just try ART for yourself and see if you like it. How hard is that?
Also, to be 100% honest, the main reason I posted here is because I'm finally sick of not being able to post in the dev forums - this is my 10th post. Hallelujah.
I hear what you're saying about the low post count, not great to only read and not respond.
As for trying it myself, I did after posting this and I don't know if its my phone or the rom I'm using but when I selected art and it rebooted it went through the boot animation and then stayed on a black screen. I don't know if I didn't wait long enough or what happened. On my nexus it reboots and then takes a long time to optimize the apps but it never rebooted to a blank screen. I'm not trying it again so I guess in the end this really was a pointless thread. Maybe when google gets to android 5.0 it'll be working.

With all the searching you claimed to have done, how'd you not come across any literature that states you need the correct version of gapps for ART to work?
I am sorry you had issues. I use SlimKat with KT747 Kernel. I had no issues switching back and forth until cows come home. (Yeah gotta reboot each time.)

Using pa gapps, same as I'm using with my nexus and they work fine. I'm using cyanfox rom so not sure if its the rom or my specific phone. You're new here but you really aren't helping much .
"You're new here but you're not helping much?" Are new people supposed to be the biggest help? I don't get that one
But hey man don't be mad at me because YOU'RE the one who's been around the block, yet you make a thread that is basically the same as someone making a thread about nightlies just to complain that it's broken.
I guess I should say to you: you've been here a while but YOU aren't helping much.
See that would make sense because someone who's been here a while knows better than to make a thread for a silly question like this. That's all I'm saying.
But anyway. Good luck with all that. Wish I could help but I'm new here guys.

im sure this has been posted a thousand fold, but i wanted to post one for the personalization of it. What would you say its the best overall kernel for cm7.2. im about to have a crack at using tiamat with it since it was my personal fav on my incredible. any suggestions?
I like aeroevans 8bfs kernel. His 8 cfs is good too but idk the difference really. His ics v9 kernel supposedly works with gingerbread but I haven't tried it
The v9 kernel works really well with cm7. I would really recommend using it. Battery life is much improved.

If you are sure its been asked, why didn't you search for it. Then the next thing is, test for yourself. Every phone responds different. I'm using AOKP with aeros newest kernel and my phone is flipping amazing, but my wife has lockups and a whole lot of other crap wrong.. it also depends on your governer and use that you do with it.

I Dont understand what the problem is. He posted in the correct section, was polite and simply asked for our opinions. Kernels do change, with updates and whatnot while others get left behind. simply searching and grave digging an old thread doesnt really change anything. Just dont want this place to become a thread-prison.
As for the kernels, tiamat hasnt been updated for our phone in ages, a lot of stuff has changed for GB since their last update. JDK kernel is in the same boat. This leaves the various versions of Aero's kernel essentially, i'd go with .8bfs or the v9 ics kernel, which i'm currently using with no problems.

thank you if youre not gonna help then dont post. its people like that thats made alot of great devs leave xda cause of the trollers.
anyways thanks for all the tips ill try em all out. im currently testing out some sense kernels for great battery life any suggestions there?
I fully agree. When you get a new device you are not sure what is old and what are outdated mods and what is the newest thing sometimes. I agree we should search first. But I have had times where I search and google and still no answers. Then when I finally post a question there is usually someone making a refference about another kitty being killed. I came from the Droid X2 which the phone was crap and Motorola sucks A$$ for locking the phones down. However that forum was very friendly and eager to help out noobs. I do understand some of the questions asked are a little crazy and you can tell they did not search. But if you are pissed about someone posting just ignore it and let some other helpful person respond. And if they post in the wrong section the MR Highway will come get them!! He is awesome at that! Keep up the great work Mr Highway. Sorry just my .02 cents. Also as the noobs learn they help out other noobs and hopefully you respected devs can ignore these simple questions. The DX2 was my first phone and I had no idea what I was doing. With the help of the DX2 community I got up to speed and was able to help others. Look at my thanks count. One noob helping another. I asked plenty of questions when I first came on here had some helpful feedback and some smart remarks. Well needless to say I am now comfortable with flashing Roms,Kernel,radio and moving back and forth from AOSP,Sense, and ICS and I found all the fixes and work around ICS by reading the threads and not asking questions here. Just some food for thought.

Again, our phone lacks a large variety of kernels, however the few we have are solid (probably the reason we dont have 2000 of them xD)
The only kernel i've really used for sense is drellisdee's #21 kernel, it comes with all the usual cpu governors and is included in a lot of ext4 sense roms. It works on sense 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5 in my experience as well.
Hopefully that was of some help :s

Yes, he did post this in the right section if it was just kernel and not ROM specific with CM7.2 why just question for AOSP or sense? And I wasn't rude in my response to him as far as him posting a question. I am irritated knowing that we have just recently had a lot of problems in this thread with people just simply asking questions they could've searched for and reposting the same thing 8,000,000 times (su, killall drmserver) ya that is familiar

Im locking this, before it goes south, an in my eyes, that's what it's looking like.
So, normally help is plentiful on the Nexus S forums and I thought that here would be even better due to the devices popularity.
So far no matter where what or who the post is for or at, I have gotten no help from this community in any threads, for any issues I have encountered: I am not saying anything here to be a sarcastic idiot, but I am just hoping that I don't get 2 million people saying "WRONG THREAD IDIOT" and then not helping me or telling me where it should be...
None the less, if there is a good soul willing to help I am currently (and always) on the latest CM10 nightly build. My problem is that regardless of which version, or whatever I do, after about 4~ hours of the phone being on (used or not) it becomes very very.... low frame-y. Normally when the phone first re-boots it is smooth as butter and excellent, much like my old Nexus S yet unlike my Nexus S, it then begins to get worse as each hour passes.
It does NOT get slow.... apps take the same amount of time to load, and the phone feels as quick, yet the problem is it looks as if it is running at 5 frames a second. (This happens no matter the build and regardless of what is flashed with the ROM, but often times all I flash on top is just the GAPPS) This problem never existed on my older phones, and I really wish I could get some help for it.
Thanks guys, Eric.
I don't run that ROM so no idea if it would help but have you tried another kernel? Or tried changing governor's or scheduler

This is why nightlies are Alpha builds. Random bugs and things happen.
As for the lack of help. You got to remember this is a development forum. Not a support forum. I see no mention of a logcat, things you have done to troubleshoot the issue. These things need to be done before opening a new thread

Nightlies are Alpha builds, yes. But how come my single core 1ghz Nexus S handles them nicer then my brand new dual core S3.
Also, This section on the forums is the "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section is it not? In the equal forum over for the Nexus S, I got help from people as busy as the ROM makers them self. Here, barely even random people come on unless it is to say that I posted in the wrong section. As for a log cat, most every issue I have ever had ever with software has been resolved by something very simply, and only twice in my life was a log cat needed. Of those two times a log cat did not help in fixing the problem I had.
Man, I don't mean to sound mad here this is just my honest experience so far. I am very used to coming to XDA with a problem and leaving with the solution I guess. That and well I am a tad mad my phone is doing this. So please, don't take offense.

The Nexus S will work better in SOME situations because those that build CM for it have ALL the needed drivers and such since it is a NATIVE ASOP firmware. The problems with any other device (specifically Samsung decices) is that Samsung doesn't share MANY of the hardware drivers and such for important things. So those that build for Samsung devices have to try and tweak things differently to make them work. That is why CM has nightly builds, sometimes with minor advancements in their tweaking and other times major advances. It takes the devs longer to work it out things.

As stated above. The nexus hardware was made to work with the open source files and drivers of AOSP. As OEM branded devices have their own closed sourced drivers. With the open source ones work? Yes but not as well.

hey guys, i just modified the liquid smooth rom cause i was bored.
all credits go to the liquid team...i really didnt do anything hard, and i dont consider myself to be a real developer now.
just wondering if anyone wants to test it out to see if it works, and give some feedback.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zj1dfa69nmyewzn
Changes made:
-removal/replacement of a few apps
-build.prop changes
-changes to updater-script
-changed boot animation
Like I said, I didn't make this to make a more optimized version of liquid smooth. It's more of an experiment/attempt to learn a bit.
Thanks.
btw gapps arent included.

Who'd want to "Test" a rom from a non-developer, when there are many that are from DEVELOPERS, not to mention the Liquid Smooth was developed by a full team. This to me infers that you are better than a team? Oh well, if you want to try peeps, go for it, but remember, it was done by someone who says he was not a developer.

i clearly said in my original post, that i take no credit for this, and that all credit goes to the liquid smooth team.
By test i didnt mean to go through the whole rom and check if every single thing works. Im just asking that you flash it
and let me know if it boots fine and doenst have any major issues.
like i said, im not trying to promote this as the best rom for the s3 that everyone should start using.
no need to get all pissed...it was just a simple question. If you dont want to try it, why even post?
i understand your concern guys, but blind development happens all around XDA. if this guy today had a "Recognized Developer" tag, i bet many of you would try it out. don't underestimate the OP.
that said, make sure you do understand that there is a risk since this is a blind development, although i doubt anything would go wrong since this is just something the OP took from an already working ROM for the TMO Galaxy S III and tweaked it a bit...

Thanks. Like you said I doubt flashing this would cause any harm. All I really did was change a couple apps and replace some pics in systemui and frameworkres.
Just make a nandroid, flash the rom, let me know if it installs/boots properly, and then just restore your nandroid.
My apologies go out to the op. He did make an effort to further improve an already outstanding rom and asking for testers is KEY. It's a great start for experimenting while increasing your knowledge on the more advanced aspects of android. Will give this a try once my S3 is fully charged!

Considering that its possible to modify firmware images and inject custom malicious code, I don't see anything wrong with questioning someone's motives for putting up a ROM that they admit they don't even remember what changes were done to it. I can understand if you think you've improved upon something but without a change log or anything there isn't really any reason to test it. Being cautious is not the same as being an ass.

Oh no, I wasn't aiming that towards you at all. It was just a general statement. Now let's stop spamming this thread with off topic posts
Everybody has a point to start. May be this is his point.
I swear if I was fan of 4.2 roms I would do it for you. But I already had too much headache with 4.2 roms.
Dont forget to ask original dev before you modify his work like this.
Gud luck ahead.
the rom has 6 downloads, however no one has given any feedback?
if anyone flashed it could you let me know if it works ok.
Post in the dev threads yet because I'm new.Smack in my face. I been here for on and off for years and now i register and cant post with devs until I have 10 post....LAME
Anyways Im going to give Holy grail Rom a try. i was using Jelly Bomb but it seems bloated to me and all that blue is kinda of unnecessary. It may the best for 12 year old kids but not me, either way it is a awesome rom
I'm kind of in the same boat. I've been trolling forever and now have an issue updating to the latest ROMs and can't actually post in the proper place until I make 10 posts about things I don't care about.
Thanks for giving me a reason to post!
In case anyone can answer my question before I get to 10 posts....I've been using Jelly Bomb for some time now and have never had any problems installing the latest ROM. However when I try to install the latest 14.0 version I get stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I cleared everything, reset everything. Only thing I can do is get back in and restore my backup. I tried a different ROM with the newest additions (multiview and whatnot) and the same thing happened. Any thoughts on why I can't get my phone to load ROMs with the new stuff?
Thanks!
Humm I dont know about that one. hopefully someone else can help

Did you do a clean install and if so what/how did you do it. Did you check the md5 sum? How did you download the ROM? On your phone? On a computer then transfer it over etc. The more info the better.

To the OP, we all had to go through it and best thing to do if you don't like a devs work is to not use it, plus you can always look for a theme if colors an issue, no need to bash any devs, they bust arse so we can use their work.....just saying :good:
10 post rule is to protect developers from spammers and new members who do not know the proper place or what to post.
Specifically that now questions are being asked here in General after the initial "gripe."
So this is being moved to Q&A where ALL questions should go, not a general thread to make your 10 posts to hound a dev
You will get quicker and more considerate answers in Q&A, especially if you did not search the ROM thread before asking
Thank you

I'm just gonna go ahead and call BS on those whiners who are stuck with <10 posts. I'm qualified to do so since I was recently one of them. The truth is if you are not at least somewhat interested in phone tech, (even if it's just for your model of phone), you should not be rooting and romming. I say that because if you want root or a custom rom on your phone, you should at the very least, have spent time reading about it. Not for 15 minutes or 1/2 hour but several hours. If you realize while reading about it, that the subject matter just can't hold your attention, then you probably shouldn't be playing around with your phones software in the first place, and you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone . Before rooting and installing a rom, you should have a pretty good idea why you want a rooted phone and custom rom in the first place, and "just because" doesn't cut it. If you want to do it just because you can, good luck with that.
But if you're really interested in the tech stuff about your phone, then you'll probably spend some free time perusing these pages and you should have no problem finding 10 things to either ask a question about, or offer a helpful comment or advice to someone needing it.
I actually think its fair, the 10 post rule.. i even felt bad that ive been using these forum for so many years and i dont even have 10 posts under my name. I necer really needed to because i always found what im looking for in past threads but when i wanted to thank a dev for his great work, i couldnt post :/
Anyway were you able to download the new roms? Ive read that people often have problems depending on the method used to download the rom and flashing it.. also you can try to do the wiping process after you install the rom also..hope you get to enjoy these new features soon pal.

I've been around since cyanogenmod was just another rom along with bugless beast and whatever the hell was running things on eclair/mytouch and ive compiled kernels hundreds of times back when slackware linux 3.5 was out so i feel like im somewhat of a vet and i appreciate the fact that i have a nice little linux device permanently connected to a broadband connection with so much support in a neat little package.
=)!
and yet i never say anything on XDA i just appreciate... unfortunately i cant post in the development forum because i dont say much ;/
big thumbs up to cyanogenmod for taking their work so seriously and being so persistent, you guys must really love what you do, trust me i know the feeling =]
i just got this phone last week and before i did anything i rooted and installed the latest CM with whatever kernel appealed to me in the dev forum and i thought seriously my screen was defective i had no idea it was just a rom/kernel issue so im glad that over with.
i updated to cm22, and the flicker started again when using the 4/20 KT kernel so ill just stick with cm20 +kt420 for now what an unbelievable combo!
and i'm kinda disappointed in AOKP every time i check the AOKP/task thread somebody is always complaining about something that doesn't work... AOKP used to be my favorite. (when the ICS days began atleast.. i loved it on my gnex)
and by the way... to people having problems flashing between kernels, when you flash a kernel, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash the rom again, then gapps, then the new kernel. kernels include more things than just addition lines of code nowadays and thats the simplest way to work around most issues i see people posting about.
that is all!
Somebody is always complaining about things not working? I see every post in my thread and I don't see what you are talking about. 99.9% of the people that post state how well everything works. The people that complain are the ones that don't follow the simple installation instructions. You might need to read through the thread again. Or just try it out for yourself.

+1, agreed.
Just like the guy who wants to request a theme for a rom, that morphology has for that same rom.
READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coming from the skyrocket which had a pretty good community I am really pleased with what developers do in their spare time and decide to share when it comes to this device.
There are so many options it can keep a flash junkie busy for a while.
Keep up the great work devs!

I love these threads....I have an idea: If you are disappointed why don't you step up and create a solution or make your own ROM? Its easy to complain about FREE work when you don't contribute whatsoever.
True, don't complain about something people spend all their time on and give away for free ...

We have a large dev community compared to many devices out there. I actually came from a galaxy nexus because I got bored of only aosp roms that were all pretty much the same.
(sorry, had to do it )
Tasks AOKP is by far the best ROM out there for the AT&T S3. I have run it longer than any other ROM i've tried and have had absolutely zero problems with it. I will never use anything else for this phone. Just my personal experience of course.
Whoaa guys ease up on the bashing... OP had only one sentence in his post that was negative everything else was positive.
I think everyone appreciates the hard work and time that devs put into all the different roms/kernels available out there.
Up until the late, I can agree that the 3.4 kernel builds (for any ROM including Tasks) weren't all that great which is why I was using CarbonROM with the BMS kernel (3.0).
But I updated to Tasks 4/23 and everything has been great...super super smooth.
Tasks updated kernel has been smooth. I'm running his newest now, flashes it a few hours ago and love it. The devs for the S3 are wonderful. So many more options than other android phones I've had in the past.

If I'm reading right, OP is disappointed in AOKP and Task's AOKP.... and hasn't tried them yet?
It takes me longer to download a ROM than it does to flash it, restore data and check out all the main features for functionallity..... and you're calling them out by name without trying them?
Gutsy move.
Nothing wrong with AOKP and we have a fantastic aosp community. They seem to be more active then the original development. If anything I'm disappointed with the lack of touchwiz ROMs. All and all. We have a good community and a good group of developers here. /end thread.

This thread sucks, I want the last 5 minutes back
3rd party ROMs are always works in progress. its not like anyone here is hiding the fact that these are all "in development". not all ROMs are "for" everyone, but that's the beauty of it, there's a flavor for everyone.
I personally prefer ROMs that are subtle improvements to the stock experience which give me a more enhanced version of what Samsung intended. BUT, there are times I'll think about getting a nexus 4, so I'll run a aosp/cm/aokp based ROM while scratching that itch. or those days I wished I had a note 2, we've got options with multi window and page buddy fully working.
if you don't like it, don't use it... simple as that. I've never critisized a ROM or developer if I don't "get" their work, that just means its not a good fit for me and I move on.

Huh?
1.) Looks as though you forgot something as simple as reading. Read my post again. If you consider any of that one post as bashing then I think you might need to check the emotional state you are in at the time that you read it.
2.) You're definitely not reading the OP. He pretty much stated that he hasn't even tried the ROM before judging it. That right there speaks for itself.
3.) Please do yourself a favor and grow up a little. Stirring up the pot with the highschool antics doesnt accomplish anything.
4.) Gold stars for you dude. Keep on contributing this wasteful drama here in a development site. That makes a ton of sense.
