I thought it would be grate to have a spot, were we clould ask questions to Clark44 about his Rom FreeGS3 v0.0.7 7-27-12
I am a realy Big fan since version 7 the Installer shows so much spunk!!!
I realy think keeping everything for Clark44 in one spot will help him in further creation of his rom.
After spending time with this rom all i can think about is how do I donate to keep it going?
I can not wait for the themes to come out for this Rom.
***First question Clark. May I use Setcpu and Ram Manager with your Rom?

Donate by clicking donate under his name in his posts.
I'd say don't use CPU apps. He has some tweaks in there and never mentioned anything about outside apps.

goo rom manager question
I do not want to loose the abilty to save recoveries to my extSdCard. So I am afraid to switch from CWM version that i am using.
The question is, can we use the Goo Manager to download the zip then use the CWM to flash it ?
I am just not sure if it packed and repack the same way.

Youtube isn't working when I'm on the go, using my 3g. But it works fine when I connect to Wifi. Maybe I did something wrong or maybe it just my phone?

Clark44 never sleeps...he is a rom machine

I noticed on the messaging app that the vibration when silent option was absent with .7. I don't need my phone vibrating when I get texts with sound on so I was wondering if there was a way to get that back. Thanks.

I prefer the old options too. When I unchecked vibrate and sound in settings > sound I still get vibration when texts come in

No S-Voice options please
The installer is very cool. This is now my goto build for installing modems, I can install them at install then update PRL with one build.
I can't live with S-voice though, it just can't call the people I want and... don't get me started on it.
I hoped choosing not to install the removed Samsung apps would include S-voice but I still get it when I make a BT voice dial.
Is there any way to have the option to not have S-voice and use Google voice instead?
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this thread! I can't post in the dev forums yet (too new) so I had no way to get into the conversation.
I've got two questions.
1. Is anyone using JuiceDefender with this Rom? I'm used to it from my Samsung Galaxy Epic, but I wasn't sure if it's needed on this ROM. I like some of the features (Location aware Wifi, etc) but maybe not if it's sacrificing battery.
2. (For Clark) On version .8, is there any way to build in some of the color/theme options from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28676439 ? I'm not a big fan of green, so I would love to change the colors of the battery and the 15 toggles...
Thanks!

Well, I think it depends on how you use your phone. For me at least, JuiceDefender has helped out TREMENDOUSLY. I live in an area with bad reception and I'm constantly going in and out of roaming. Having all my data turned off while I'm not using the phone really helps boost my battery life (and not having to do so manually is worth the $5 in my opinion).
Without JD I'm at about 10-15% when I get home from work (10 hr work days). With JD I'm at about 30% when I get home.
I guess everyone's mileage may vary, but if you've already bought JD you might as well try and see if it helps your battery life.
side note: I also love the night tint in JD

I've actually got a couple of questions with this ROM.
First, though, I have to say this is a phenomenal ROM. I initially flashed it solely as a stop-gap while waiting for CM10 to come out for my Sprint GSIII, but it quickly has become my daily driver.
So with the installer on the 0.0.7 version, there are multiple radios. Is there any advantage in flashing one of those, or just leaving it be? Also I really like the CRT animations and beats audio, but it wasn't there in the 0.0.7 version, so I just went with 0.0.6. Is there a way to get it on the 0.0.7 version or have those features been disabled? I went off the video review on youtube, linked but for some reason, on my version, little to no features were on mine compared to the review video. Is there a way to enable them on the newest version? Thanks.

It got lost on the main thread, but awesome beats will be back in .8 (he forgot to put it in .7) and crt was broken by Samsung

Nice thread you guys have going on here
As for themeing. Let me explain how im going to have this system setup at latest by v0.0.9.
I've done some research and finally found an app that will do the following:
1. Notify when update is available
2. Allow user to download themes, bootanimations, apps, flashables, all within the app and all supplied by me.
3. Allow the user to read the changelog of upcoming buids on the go.
The link to this app is here
Now i already started migrating the boot animation option i already finished in Aroma installer into this app and that should be done very soon. Themers will also be able to send me whatever they make and i can make it an option in the app!
This will benefit us in the following:
1. Aroma installer stays and installs kernels, modems, and mods
2. ROM size doesn't go up to 2GB when i add in all the themes ect. (Size will always be around 860)
3. Users can change their theme and UI mods on the go without having to reinstall the ROM.
I'm trying to make customization available without having to reinstall the entire ROM. This will give us the best of both worlds.
I'm working on this as we speak so I might dissapear from XDA for a little bit while i stay on my train of thought But in spite of everything...this is going to get a whole lot better.

Will CRT return in the 0.0.8 release? Also what is the deal with all the different types of radios in the aroma installer?

No on CRT, see back a page or two with a draft of the mods in next release.
The radio's are the different modems you can choose, there have been three releases (updates) and the original that came with the phone. That is what the radios are.
Radio=baseband=modem

Are there any advantages/disadvantages in flashing a different modem to the phone? It seems to be a consensus that LF9 gives better signal, but I'm afraid for the drawbacks.

Downloading .8 now. Very excited.
Clark, I have a small request for .9.
Any chance you can add on my favorite bootanimation from my Samsung Epic days?
It's the third link found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033274
(I'm also a big fan of the blue shutdown animation, but that's not nearly as big of a priority.)
Thanks!

I don't see the video icon when using Google Talk. I used to have it before I flash 0.0.8. Any ideas, I can get it back? Thanks

The reason the thread is closed is not because the developer is angry at all or anything like that. He no longer has the time to support the ROMs at the moment, I was suspicious to to the ROM's disappearance but was alerted he posted the reason he closed development on his G+. This ROM was taken offline when the new one came up, that's all. Thanks OP.

Yeah out of respect, I agree. Though Mike and Annex in the past have not cared for others posting their work, maybe that's why the OP didn't ask, and out of high demand.

Wowowow i did ask, i contacted Ramsay and did not get a response and did not even know what happened until i check my google and facebook, however, and i will say i did NOT get explicit permission, Ramsey has NEVER cared and i do NOT expect him to get back to me any time soon because of whats going on. I am 99.99% sure he will not care that im, if anything, supporting his awesome rom.
PS- now i want to try that kit kat theme xD

They were just looking out for the dev is all. All too often people will post someone else's work without asking first, sometimes they give proper cred, sometimes they don't. But the decent thing regardless of your intentions is to ask first, which you said you did. And thank you for clarifying that btw.
Tbh, after reading the OP, I thought the exact same thing. Always do when it's not mentioned. You obviously appreciate the devs work on this Rom, and saranhai was simply looking out for them and their interests. I don't believe it was meant as accusatory at all.
Anyway, just thought I'd offer up a bit of explanation. Thanks for posting this, I know a lot of people are going to be very pleased to see it here!

Yea i get it i jut dont understand 2 things..
1. All his work EVERYTHING is up for download, so couldnt i just modify a few settings, add some wall papers, maybe some of your Modem tweaks as default and this would qualify at least as S3 Development.
2. So because the thanks was in regular text size and not colored that doesnt count as thanks !? The hassle i went through to put this togther and the 2-4 days waiting for a reply for Ramsay...(i put thanks to him and his team on the top and bottom of the post when i FIRST posted it... i even posted PICTURES OF THE GUYS AT THE BOTTOM).
Im stressed, Im active duty military and tried to something nice for these people on my time off. -.-"

By all means were just looking out for the devs and you, you violate any rules on XDA and you can get banned easily we wouldn't want that would we? I and I'm sure the rest of the d2tmoers here are glad someone had this ROM still and uploaded it for us. Thank you, I'm using it currently.
As the Kit Kat theme is concerned, its Friday and I have nothing else better to do I'll rip it from 4.3 and let everyone know.

I too have not found any bugs on this rom yet (finger crossed), not bad for a discontinued beta. I wish they would of continued working on 4.3

Trust me, your putting this up is very much appreciated! And don't let any of us add to your stress level, try to remember that in these posts, tone is near impossible to convey perfectly. If someone is going to verbally attack though, you'll know it. There are lots of times our posts are short and pointed, but it's simply because we already do a lot here and just want to make the point and move on. I promise you that nothing said here so far was meant personally or negatively at all. To me, xda can be a great place to escape real life for a while and still be constructive with your time. I hope this proves true for you as well!
As to your questions:
1. It's kind of hard to say tbh. Technically it's probably not considered development if you just make some minor changes/improvements, tweaks, and do a bit of theming to an existing, previously developed Rom. I think it would probably have to be determined by the amount of modification you do. Maybe someone else can chime in on this one, or you could always ask a mod what they think.
I've seen some releases in the development section that definitely would not meet the criteria, so once you implement some changes and make it yours, so to speak, I wouldn't see it as any kind of problem to move it there. Until then it will probably be viewed as more of a support thread though.
2. The part that was in question wasn't with how you thanked and gave credit to the dev. You did perfectly fine on that. The thing we didn't see addressed was whether or not you sought permission from them before posting. Knowing now that you did, it's not an issue at all. But there have been plenty of times where someone would post someone else's work, and give proper credit to the dev, but never asked if they were ok with them posting it. Even though their intentions in some instances were pure, it often would end up with the dev getting pissed and the thread being closed or removed.
Speaking for myself, whenever I see something familiar posted by someone other than the original developers, I automatically wonder if they got permission to do so. And if it's not stated, I or someone else will ask. It's not to be mean or to cause problems, but more to prevent them, and as stated, to look out for the devs interests. None of us wants to see them leave due to lack of respect or common courtesy.
Getting too long so I'll leave it at that! Thanks again!

This all being said, I've been working on speeding up and prolonging battery life. It's already smooth, so I'm just going to squeeze as much battery life out of it as possible. I will either release files you can push, or a .zip depending on everyone's preferences. That being said, battery life was nice, 4hrs, 30 minutes off my first charge cycle of on screen time. I'll upload the pic soon.
1. First line of work is the build.prop
2. Second line of work is within the init.d
3. Third line of work is going to be replacing the kernel with either KT747/Lean
4. Fourth line of work is going to be recommending/including a good inverted GAPPS package

Yeah, a zip would be great. I have pretty decent battery life already, but any way to squeeze out more would be great. I also use the kt747 kernel, but when I attempted to use the TK mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207286 in conjunction with it, it completely messes up when I try to apply their build.prop mod.

Yeah, TKMod works great! We discovered a couple months ago with the latest release that their modified build.prop was not working for us for some reason. Go ahead and install TKMod but keep your current build.prop. And I use the sysctrl & modified Crossbreader too.
EDIT: from RErick in the above mentioned link-
"Uninstall the build.prop. its not that important. If it doesn't work it doesn't need to be there. Obviously we would Luke for everyone to have it, but its not our pride and joy. If the sysctrl and cross breeder works that's 95 percent of the good stuff"
Works for me!

Looking for advice on the best ROM to install

I moved to a Google Place edition ROM a few months ago, but I would like to go back to a Sense based one. I'm wondering which is the best one currently.
The main things I would like are:
-Sense-based ROM
-Viper4android (doesn't have to be pre installed, but has to be compatible)
-Edited hosts file that blocks ads (or write protection off so I can modify it using AdAway)
-S-Off
So what would be the best ROM based on these? Any pointers appreciated.

There is no best rom. Useless discussion. Read the specific rom opening posts and check what interests you as user.....like it.....flash it and test it out. Isn't it what you are looking for just flash another rom.
And please keep questions in the Q&A section.
Q&A means Question and Answer. This is the GENERAL section ! Seriously read.......if you did you also would have posted in the correct section.
Thank you and happy flashing !

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All custom ROMs have system write protection disabled.
S-off is not a feature of the ROM. Its independent of the ROM, and is obtained by sunshine s-off method.
As mentioned, there is no "best ROM". Everyone has different preferences/needs, and uses their device differently. While discussion of favorite ROMs is now allowed on XDA; it wasn't long ago that it was not. Reason being, calling one ROM the "best" is an insult to the devs of other ROMs that their work is somehow "inferior" or "not the best". And as also mentioned, such discussions are typically useless; and usually devolve into pissing contests.

There is no best rom. Useless discussion. Read the specific rom opening posts and check what interests you as user.....like it.....flash it and test it out. Isn't it what you are looking for just flash another rom.

I find that each rom thread claims to be the best and has a few hundred pages of posts with issues and fixes, so I was looking for someones opinion. It takes a long time to set up everything after installing a new ROM, it's not exactly fun installing different ones and setting it all up again from scratch

It doesn't take long to set up a new rom, that's where titanium backup and HTC backup come in handy ! Not taking the time to explore roms and going off on other peoples opinions is just pure laziness !
If you don't think recalibrating and setting up your phone from scratch after installing a custom rom is fun then stay on stock forever.
Happy flashing......

I've been installing custom ROMS since 2011. I don't do it for the fun, I do it so I have more control over my phone and so I can remove branding and crapware.

Then why not root your stock rom and delete the crap ware ? Then you don't have to set it all up again

Yeah, well guess what? Anyone that is smart about ROM flashing has read the thread (for the ROM or ROMs they intend to flash). Not every page, but at least the past few (most recent) pages, to see if there are any common bugs, fixes, etc. You don't need to read every page, since older posts refer to older versions of the ROM, and previous bugs have often been resolved.
Asking others so you don't need to perform your minimum due diligence is just lazy, as Mr Hofs mentioned.

Using Titanium Backup batch restore function (well worth the few $ for the TB paid license), I can easily get a new ROM up and running in 20 minutes.
Honestly, in the time you've complained about how long it takes, and waiting for folks to respond to this thread; you could have flashed and setup 5 or more different ROMs and tried them out to see if you like them. And as long as you read through the ROM descriptions to see if they might fit your needs/preferences, it usually only takes flashing a couple ROMs to find the one that is right for you.

Again, this comes back to personal preference and subjectivity. What is considered bloatware by one user, is a useful app to another. There are a number of HTC Sense apps and Google apps that I find quite useful, that others consider "bloat".

If you have a GSM M8, the Developer Edition removes all branding, most crapware, generally behaves like "classic Android" as it pertains to reading and writing /system, and is still bone stock - so you can get HTC OTA updates. However, I can certainly understand wanting to go to a different ROM for more control over appearance. I absolutely love CM12 on my old Galaxy S2 because I can make it look exactly like I want.

Sounds interesting. Being able to do OTA updates is definitely a bonus

As mentioned previously, it's all personal preference:
do you want to be stock? -> OK go for dev edition, or WWE unbranded edition, BTW if you "root" you're not "stock"
do you like HTC Sense? -> narrow it down to one that has the features you like
don't like HTC Sense? -> try GPE
don't like GPE -> try CM, or any other AOSP based ROM
in no particular order
but at the end of the day, you're going to have to make the decision yourself
you wanna try different ones, but want to keep your primary intact? then check M8 MultiROM (sorry dont have the link handy at the moment)

I like the "best color" analogy. Its very appropriate, as everyone has an opinion on it; but in the end, it doesn't matter what someone else's favorite color is (has no relevance to what your favorite will be).
And yeah, its pretty strange that the colors of the pie chart don't correspond to the color it represents.

[ROM][MM 6.0.1][Rooted][Edge Features][DEODEXED][SEMI-DEBLOAT][EPD1] >10/17/16 1.7.5

Chr0nic's Modded MM v1.7.5
DISCLAIMER:I am not responsible for any bricks, or damage to your devices, this software is provided as is and has been tested numerous times. That being said, your warranty is now void (of course it was once you rooted [emoji23] ) Enjoy!​
Introduction​
As with some other ROM devs in the area, seeing little to no ROMs for the Galaxy S6 Edge I was a bit perturbed. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and with the guidance of another well known dev, I came up with this. Keeping most of the sammy features in tact and removing a bunch of extra bloat. This ROM is mainly debloated according to how I like it, if you need to remove more, then by all means, please do.
Features
*3Minit Battery
*Potato Clock
*Potato Gradient
*Rounded Notifications
*Rounded Recents
*Call Recording
*Recent Lock (allows you to protect an app in your recents so it stays active after killing all others.
*6 Toggle with max of 12 across
*Numerous CSC Edits (Dual Dashboard, Diasble SMS to MMS Conversion, Enable blacklist,
Save SMS Messages to SD, Enable Call Blocking, Ability to disable camera shutter, Etc....)
*5 way power menu.
*WiFi Calling Works...
*Display Scaling
*Outdoor Mode
*Private mode***
*Integrated Adaway
*Integrated Xposed Installer (Still need to flash Xposed Binaries)
*Moved Cell and WiFi signals to the left.
*Integrated Nova Launcher as an option for Launcher.
I'm sure there is more I am forgetting.
ROM COMES WITH Twisted Edge V8 Kernel​ Which has drastically reduced RAM consumption and now comes with KTweaker to make your Kernel changes and tweaks.​
ROM Can be flashed on S6 Flat variant. After flashing, mount system in TWRP, tap install and navigate to system/mods/kernels and flash the Flat kernel for it to work.
Installation: Download or copy zip to internal storage, boot into your preferred recovery (TWRP recommended) wipe cache, data, and system 3x, Flash ROM, Xposed, or anything else you want to add. Enjoy. First boot can take upwards of 15 minutes.​
Bugs????? You tell me
Download: Download Make a backup before you flash.
If you want WiFi calling to work, you must flash the kernel in the mods folder.
Kernel Source can be found in the proper thread provided here.

v1.7.4 Added Device Maintenance from Note 7, Added OmaCP.apk from Note 7, Galaxy Apps, and theme store from Note 7. (Probably wont make a difference.
) If you want WiFi calling to work you MUST flash V4 kernel in the /System/Mods folder
v1.7.3 Added Gear VR Setup back into the priv-app folder. Optional Update
v1.7.2 Can be dirty flashed if coming from clean flash of 1.7.1. Added white pages function for incoming calls (may need clean flash for it to work) Fixed screencast issue, all apps multi-window enabled unless app does not support it.

v1.7.0 Added SuperSu to settings, removed signature check.
v1.6.7 added Smart Manager from S7, there is no icon so it must be accessed via the settings, added Rom info to Device settings. removed a few more bloat apps. More to come just reviewing options at this point.
v1.6.5 Minor changes. Fixed FC in the messaging app. Removed the T-Mobile Adapt Client app from system (again). (Looking into the VoLTE issue. If you would like to try V3 of the @The Sickness Twisted Kernel you can get that here )

Flash these at the time of updating if you want V4A (Courtesy of @stangdriver44 ), or Totally stock status bar , or modded with right side signals.

Welcome! Great to see some new devs stepping in to fill the obviously void here due to lack of development!
I just have to say this, "Do this for you"! Don't build anything or make custom builds for anyone but yourself!
When you feel good that things are stable and running well, then share your work with no expectations from anyone!
This will prevent you from possibly getting discouraged from lack of feedback and appreciation!
I myself get so excited after I've put in tons of hours/days adding features and mods and it's finally ready for release only to get a handful of thanks!
That's when I remind myself I build this for me, add the mods I use and when I'm ready, I am nice enough to share my work with others to use, for free, because I have it and without this community (XDA-DEVELOPERS, not the S6 forums), none of this would've been possible.
I've learned a lot and am always trying to give back what I can!
That being said if you have any questions or need and advice I'm only a PM away.
If you look around I'm sure you'll see my work to give you an idea of things I might be able to help with.
Again, welcome, good job and keep it up!

Well, that theme is actually from the theme store. I would have included it as part of the ROM, but I don't believe in "borrowing" the work of any paid apps or themes. I used to develop stupid little soundboard to entertain my friends. I put them up on the app store and they were quickly popping up on other sites for free. I had to start using licensing and eventually, because it was not worth the hassle, I shut down my developer account and stopped everything. Pulled down all active links for the app, set any hidden YouTube videos in the app to private. It's just not cool.

Exactly why I stopped. Lol, I was not going to keep updating and putting out newer versions. It won't run properly on anything beyond KK, it may launch but after a few seconds it crashes. So, I guess I win in the end.

Well, well.............VERY nice job bro. I'm glad you finally got this thing up and running.
Maybe if folks did what you did and took a leap in faith we would have more builds coming out
than we do now.......
Now that the hard part is done, now you can start doing so serious modding to it.......

If you're having any type of FC, submit a log along with it so I can see what's causing it. Also, the only way you're gonna remove those mods is if I put up a zip for the stock ui, I'll do that later today.

Ok just asking. Love this ROM.

Worth it= unlock+root?

I know that it is possible to revert all the root, unlocking and so on. I'm just wondering about warranty.
I know what OnePlus says about it BUT! I am worried that if my device decides to suddenly break, OnePlus will see that my device has been rooted and I will have a harder time getting it through warranty even though warranty is not void by rooting.
I am not planning to do something seriously weird with my phone. Just want to try out a few popular kernels and roms. But the warranty situation scares me. Any thoughts?

Ask One Plus.
If I buy an Android phone it's for liberty it gives me.
Stop let your fears drive you.

Of Course i have done that but the answers are very formal and pasted. Just wanted to know if someone wanted to offer their thoughts about what is even possible from OnePlus point if view.

I haven't bothered yet... The stock ROM is fine. Not worth the effort and potential hassle to get a different colored battery icon or 0.5% faster benchmark scores...
Let me ax you... What features do you need Root for that cannot be had without it?
That will tell you whether you need to root or not...

yes it is worth it, u do not void ur warranty so there is no reason not to, once u root and unlock ur bootloader, install TWRP and make backup, u can then start to tinker and download many different apps like xposed to change things around, there are endless possibility with being rooted, also u can get updates quicker at times, and the people who whine and say their phone is not working or the update killed their phone, u just backup all ur apps with a backup app like titantium backup (pretty popular) then do a clean flash of the rom and u r good to go, u can remove system apps u don't use and use up battery, u can download custom kernels to adjust cpu speeds for better battery life, free apps with lucky patcher (i don't think i was supposed to mention that though), with xposed u can bypass the passcode and use fingerprint on start. Themeing different apps if u r into that. just so much to do, also there is no hassle like the guy above stated, u just download the toolkit and u r done in like 5 min.

Mostly for battery but also for gestures. Really like the gestures feature i have seen in RR, and maybe in more roms than RR? It also seems that arter97 cm ROM is well optimized both with his kernel, and ROM. I don't care about benchmarks. But the overall feel seems faster with that ROM according to XDA

I haven't done it myself either, since most of the reasons for which I unlock and install custom ROM and root are available (adblock, aggressive doze, oxygen OS customizations, etc)

That is so true! The stock OxygenOS is buttery smooth!

Yes.

Absolutely worth rooting (want a good backup?) and warranty cannot be voided because of rooting (http://bit.ly/2bsmV1T)

Oneplus has no problems with rooted phones as i did a warranty service for my OPO last year.
So yes it is worth rooting and unlocking to enjoy the freedom of what Android and OnePlus has to offer..!

For me, Xposed and EX Kernel Manger are the biggies. Of course you could install a kernel without using an app, but the app has OTA updates plus some other nice features.

So what kernel+rom is the best regarding smoothness and battery life compared to stock? I would also really like to know what roms have the gestures feature that the RR rom has. my goal by coming from iOS is to access apps as quickly as possible without having to go through folders and ****.
