Why would you want to stay on a leaked version when v17 is an official released 4.1.2 :p it fixes the GPS problem.
And to use volume skip button you have to have a modified 'android.jar' file that has the line of code which enables it :)

Happy to stay at v16 at the moment. It's the smoothest my s3 has been since I got it. I'll end up going to v17 when I get flash happy haha. Any ideas how to do the modification you mentioned?

Best ROM I have installed yet on any Android device. So insanely smooth, great battery life, no bugs so far, no force quitting.

Yehh sure, I'll post the file tomorrow as I'm sleeping soon. Make a nandroid backup of your phone though, just in case anything goes wrong :)

If it's as in prior versions, /system is remounted ro in /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh. Have a look at the end of that file if the remount command is still there.

JP.
Yes. I see "sysro" at the end of /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh
It's strange that I see that /system in read-write mode after reboot.

Why not use them? :confused: I like mikes tweaks... if he fixes the ramdisk we can flash everything together no?...

As said many and many times in this thread tweaks could couse issues as reported from many users, if you use them remember that if you will have issues they could come from tweaks.

have a nice day

Battery life too bad with stock kernel.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300

What?!
Are you kidding me? I'm using (for the first time) stock kernel with 17.0 and battery life is amazing! My phone lasts for 2 days with moderate-high usage. I lose 2% overnight (about 8 hours) with alarm set up and data ON.
I'm always checking email, sending SMS and using youtube (via WIFI) to watch HD videos.
I've always used Perseus kernel, but damn.. I'm having a much more fluid and better experience with stock this time.
Also, i had lots of freezes (phone completey frozen for about 1 min) when watching youtube videos more than 4/5 minutes with Perseus kernel and never had that again with stock.

I'm using the Perseus kernel with rom version 17.
Battery lasts about 2-3 days. I don't have to recharge the battery more than 2-3 times in a week.
Amazingly fast and very stable rom. :good:

GPS seems to be fixed, at least it worked yesterday.
I couldn't be happier with my phone.

    There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
    • Press the "Thanks" button.
    • Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
    • Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
    • Advertise my work to your friends.
    • Rate my thread with 5 stars.
    Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!

    2. Sharing policy

    This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
    • Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
    • Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
    • Give proper credits for what you used.
    • When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
      obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

    Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
    • ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
    • Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
    • Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

    If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

    4. Signature banners for users

    Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.
    • Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
      Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!

    • Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
      Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!

    • Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
      What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
    Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

    Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

    faq.png


    Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
    A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
    Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
    And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
    For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

    Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
    A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

    Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my devivce.
    A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

    Q 4: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)

    Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
    A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
    Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

    Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
    A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

    Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
    A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

    Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
    A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

    Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
    A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
    If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

    Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
    A: There are some solutions:
    1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
    2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
    3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
    4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
    5. Read this, this, this & this
    6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

    Q 11: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
    A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

    Q 12: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
    A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
    There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
    What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
    Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

    Q 13: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
    A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.

    Q 14: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)​
