[DISCUSSION][I9300][Touchwiz][Android 4.4.4] -->back-to-n00t by arter97<-- - Galaxy S III General

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!
For more info head to the origional development thread

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!

why can not install ?

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.

[OFFICIAL] [CUSTOM] Android 4.0.1 by Samsung for SGS2

DOWNLOAD: http://hotfile.com/dl/137476445/51a9d34/I9100XXKP1_SamMobile.com_Android_4.0.1_CUSTOM.rar.html
Password: samfirmware.com
After a long wait Samsung has finally started testing Android 4.0.
Last week our “insider” presented us with XXKP1.
The Android version of this ROM is Android 4.0.1.
The build date is 7 december 2011.
As you may know of us we often get these leaks prior to release.
After we did some checks on it we can confirm that we’re dealing with a “CUSTOM” Samsung build.
We strongly advise people who only flash stock ROMs to not flash this.
As you all may know we only offer stock ROMs so you will not find this firmware on our usual firmware page.
We at Sammobile offcourse have tested this ROM in all curiousity.
Samsung uses Android 4.0 with their own TW-Launcher and Android 4.0 tweaks.
Below you will find a video review of this ROM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISAI6qbQm6U&list=UUzQl4TBDKoGyVhpL2ykCJgw&feature=plcp
What works in I9100XXKP1?
All the Basics work like calling , sms , internet and more.
Some applications havent been worked out correct so they will force cose on stress.
Because we are dealing with a “CUSTOM” ROM here it can occur that the phone will react very slow from time to time.
There is also the chance of some “RANDOM REBOOTS”
We at Sammobile advise people to not use thhis ROM for daily usage.
If you want to download this firmware then you can do so via the provided link below.
Again if you only flash STOCK ROMs then dont flash this.
Because you flash this rom with “unsecure” kernel the phone thinks its “CUSTOM” and will start counting on your custom counter.
You will loose your warranty bercause of this.

Appreciate the share, hope we can see much improved customs based on this.
I may be wrong but i cant see a difference between this rom and checkrom with 1.6 ics theme?
Not ttrying to be rude or anything

Xiaomi Redmi Note-Stock Android

I do not like MIUI for a number of reasons.
Their forum leaves a lot to be desired.
It is not GPL complaint.
I flashed HMNOTE1W_AOSP_DEV_0627.zip and it is working reasonably well.
Had to restore both IMEI numbers using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3
Have restored all files from my Nexus 5 with Titanium Backup.
Main problem is can't do anything about the kernel.
This is why development is limited as zelendel explain to me.
Too bad, as it is a nice phone for the money.
I didn't buy it. It was a gift from a friend in Malaysia, who knows
I like playing with phones.
Nexus 5 is my daily phone.
I just see the Redmi Note as a challenge.
nice bro.. can u share ur rom?

I downloaded it from the MIUI site.
See Here
HMNOTE1W_AOSP_DEV_0627.zip
You will lose your IMEI's.
Took me a while to get everything working.
Make sure you know how to unbrick your phone, just in case.
Trying new ASOP rom.
VANILA_XAN
SEE HERE
This is the same site listed in the All in One Thread.
The forum is in Spanish.
There are quite a few roms listed in addition to the ones posted.
I am only interested in ASOP roms.
You have to join to download roms.
Install straight forward using CWM.
As usual had to restore my IMEI numbers.
Been running for only about two hours, but seems fine.
Make sure you backup Titanium Folder to your PC if you plan to use it.
Here is another ASOP rom from the Spanish forum.
Direct Link
AOSP Z3
Very slow download for me for some reason.
Features:
Tweaked for better performance and stability
Removed built-in apps that are not often used
Pre-rooted
Zip-aligned
init.d Support
Any internal modification
Xposed Works Framework
Powered by Gravity Box
Lenovo Calendar
Lewa Calculator

No problem. Trying to find useful information to post here.
The MIUI forum does not seem to be that good from a development
standpoint. I am certainly not a developer, so the best I can do
is post useful information.
Unfortunately, other than the MIUI forum, most forums are not in English.
I am able to get information from the Spanish Forum, as I know a little Spanish.
Google translate takes over when I don't understand something.
AOSP Z3 by Xancin
Installed AOSP Z3 by Xancin.
Xancin has Written many ROM's at the Spanish forum
movilesdualsim.com
SEE HERE
Had to restore IMEI numbers, which is necessary on every install I have done.
Very easy using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3.
Other than that, install was straight forward.
ROM running smooth for past couple of days.
Went back and reflashed VANILA_XAN ROM.
All ROM's are a matter of personal preference and
VANILA_XAN seems to suit me the best.
The other ASOP ROM's worked fine and will suit others.
Now trying the Dual Sim's. I have T-Mobile(USA) as default
and vodafone(NZ) as the second sim.
Since I will be spending Christmas in New Zealand thought
it a good idea to test it.
nice thread!. i am really hoping there would be a stable kk rom

CM 11 Very Slow
CM9.2 has very stable performance, it's very fast and responsive. It's 2x faster than CM11.
Everything works fine except the audio routing (front speaker, and headset), videocam(use video illusion), encoders.
Too bad, I can't use this as a daily rom, because of the major bug in audio.
please update
11 cm unnecessary development.
CM9 more stable. !!
We are waiting @Bielt3tv

Number 5 isn't a bug - as I could - you most likely have cache error
Anyway it's not going to happen - project was abandoned ages ago

Some suggestions for working on BCM21553 Roms(cooperve, totoro, tassve)
Hi,
I wanted to know if there is anyone working/willing to work on BCM21553 roms? I'm not an android dev but I researched about BCM21553 phones and I found some info regarding fixing the issues with CM ports of these devices(mostly CM9):
- CM9 audio issue
these are commits developed by Conn(psyke83 +, +) which solved audio routing in cm11 (Conn came up with them after Biel +, + had stopped development of CM9 and I thought applying them to CM9 tree might solve the issue):
commit1: https://github.com/broadcomCM/andro...mmit/0635810ff827eb2d27bdd87099412449d7315cd1
commit2: https://github.com/broadcomCM/andro...mmit/20ffc2a9179e193d2c20071af623e674cb666079
commit3: https://github.com/androidarmv6/and...mmit/c0a7f3c12507ffb32f354bf428167aa04d42b5f7
commit4: https://github.com/androidarmv6/and...mmit/c33c4f7dd99bb86cacf802c388e6dbbe78a9dca6
commit5: https://github.com/androidarmv6/and...mmit/02f652675f17ce228f8235c95ec88a9d109daaa2
commit6: https://github.com/androidarmv6/and...mmit/eb32975071ab927f3356ecf8e76fc92cf5254805
You'd better apply these step by step and compile for simpler debugging of potential compile errors.
- CM9/CM11 OMX codecs(Video Recording Issue might be an effect of this issue)
I did a research to find out similar phones to ours which have a working port of CM and I found Samsung Galaxy S II Plus + ,+ , + which has the exact same GPU(VideoCore IV) and almost same Broadcom chipset(although not the exact BCM21553). I thought getting it's codec blobs(from here) and applying the following patch might lead to working hardware codecs.
The patch: https://gist.github.com/pawitp/7945188
we might need reverting the following commit for the above to work: https://github.com/broadcomCM/andro...mmit/801313cfc1b13b27f9feb2e64a384945a89db330
- CM9 USB Tethering
The fix seems to be already in CM9 device tree but it didn't get compiled by biel!(CM9 device tree updated after the last BETA5 build)
relevant commit
- CM9/CM11 Torch
Again comparing with GS2 plus I came up with following potential solution:
commit1: https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyano...mmit/2667be0aa8dbdc9263c5de9cc72b9c9bf65035f8
commit2: https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyano...mmit/10cbc504c6b1a96cdadca564b2f8de5996b40791
Error
this is my first time on a forum so dont mind if i have posted my question in the wrong place.
Also you might want to note that i'm quite a noob at rooting and flashing ROMS
I had rooted the phone a few hours ago.
I have followed your instructions word to word .after installing CWM i applied beta 5 and the google add on and let it reboot.
Since then on all i see is the black start up screen that says -
"SAMSUNG
GALAXY Y duos

GT-S6102"

[ROM][DEV][5.0.2]Surnia Prime ROM (v0.2 ALPHA)

Hello All. I am Shawn, a very renowned and well-respected dev in the Motorola Moto G 2014 forums. I have various ROMs over their, based both of stock and CM. One of my biggest ROMs over there was Titan Prime with over 50,000 downloads in total! So when I found out Motorola had released a new smartphone I thought why not dev for that as well. So here I am in the Motorola Moto E 2015 forums. I wish to bring exceptional ROMs to this device both based of stock and CM just like I did for the Motorola Moto G 2014. And now I present to you the Surnia Prime ROM! This ROM is based of stock. I made this thread for devs who want to try the ROM and of course give feedback. I don't have a Moto E 2015 so I need you help.

Just got this phone, and it's shipping so stoked there's already gonna be roms for it, thanks for the work dude!
Could someone post some ROM features? System apps, pre-rooted or not? Some screenshots? Thanks to all devs.
Not asking for a eta but is this rom still being worked on? Havent really seen any recent posts.

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
