This ROM is working very well on my UK Rhod 100. Very stable & fast and since the latest update I have the correct HW keyboard layout. Battery life is limited but carrying a second battery is an easy solution.
The previous problems where the screen would not turn on after several pushes of the power button almost never occurs. However when the battery runs down to about 30% the screen always changes such that a red overlay occurs visible mainly on screens with a white background (see pics). Also when the screen changes ghost images remain from previous screens. Also at this point sometimes the screen will not turn on despite repeated use of the power button. Strangley, even though there is nothing visible on the screen I can unlock the phone by swiping in the expected area (and get haptic feedback) and long press the power button and turn off the device by pressing in the expected areas. Upon a reboot the screen will initially be back to normal but then if the battery is below 30% the problem will return. These issues never occur if the battery is above 30%. If I take screenshots with shootme the pics captured look normal when viewed after a reboot before the problem recurs. Not sure what the system does when the battery falls to this level but the screen is definitely affected. This problem also occurs with a fresh install with no apps installed.
If anyone has any ideas as to what could be the cause (and even better a solution) it would be most welcome. Thanks to all those behind this project.
Sorry you are having troubles. Unfortunately as noted in the first post for that thread we only have RHOD400s to test with. No one else has reported any similar issues. The 100s are known to be the problem children of the RHOD family. If you come up with a fix let us know, and we will try to include it in any future releases.

Did you look at ACL's work on RE'ing that panel code...?
He said something about the panel power up/power down sequence on the 100's (the AUO panel specifically) to be quite a bit different.

arrrghhh, I noted your post in the ROM development thread regarding the start up sequence in the OMGB kernel for the AUO panel. Perhaps this would solve my issue as well. If this change could be added to the next edition of this ROM my device would be virtually bug free.
As noted in the thread, we do not have any RHOD100s to test with. It is very unlikely that this will happen. If you would like to make your own kernel with these changes I can post it.
issue or not?
hi,

Sorry I didn't express myself properly. I meant the physical keyboard. In other thread I read something about a startup.txt file, I don't know if it applies to this ROM (and moreover I can't find it).

startup.txt files are only for the SD card versions of the android roms.
You would need to edit the keyboard map. Here is generic android keyboard map info.
There may be apps out there than can change your keyboard map, but I don't know any details about that.
Also in the future it would be best to start your own thread, rather than using an unrelated one. Better yet, post the questions about the rom you are working with in the thread for that rom.
i am having also a screen problem with that Rom and Kernel:
My screen is not calibrated. When i press it's being pressed on somewhere else on the screen.
P.S.
My RAM is not 100 +- this rom showing me 33 for usage on the device :S.
Can someone help me with those two ?

In an attempt to bring this thread back on topic I thought I'd report back that the original problem has not happened for a few weeks. My setup is essentially unchanged, the only change is that I have been using One Power Guard to try and improve battery life, which by the way seems to be effective. Managed 13hours with light use (few calls/occassional data for email web browsing)
Anyway it could be coincidence but it is possible that one of the tweaks performed by the app has sorted this issue. Since nobody else has reported the same problem I'm not sure how useful this info is but hopefully it may be of use to someone.

I set the minimum overview zoom to 70 in earlier build, but 85 in more recent builds. The only purpose is to allow me to activate a link without zooming in.
Tried this build on my X7510. A few observations:
1. Screen rotates on shut down.
2. Couldn't use hardware keyboard. After each key stroke, the entire field was highlighted, which caused the next key stroke to over-write the one before.
3. Opera was not set as default browser.
I went back to build 1184. The first two issues made it unusable for me.

I found the following problem with most cooked ROMs (also including the last official one from HTC) /I tried that on fresh installations in every case/
I like AutoLock feature. So I made a small .reg file to modify one small entry in registry.
The moment this feature is on - if the device becomes locked, the screen goes dim. Problem is - it stays dimmed forever. I tried thousand different solutions - many combinations of registry values, power options, etc. nothing helps. If I lock the device manually - no problem. only with autolock. Anybody knows how to make it work?
Regards,
Vojtek
Maybe you should post your script, so that someone can have a look. Did this work on some previous ROM? Or has it been an ongoing problem?
Try using SmartLock, found on this site.

The official HTC ROM that I used to have before recent official update from HTC - worked very fine with this little registry mod.
The modification is as follows:
HKCU->ControlPanel->Backlight->AutoDeviceLockEnable
default value = 0
I change it to 1. This is all I do after totally fresh ROM update. that causes the dim to go permanently on from the next lock (doesn't matter if it was caused by auto or manual). even If I get back with the value to 0 in registry - problem stays. soft reset (and value set to 0) eliminate the problem.
one more thing - I never use auto-light sensor. My backlight level is always set to 2. with auto-light sensor - autolock works OK. however I loose a lot of battery life since auto-light sensor never allows backlight levels lower than 4.
Regards,
Vojtek
check out Lumos, it'll let you backlight go as low as you set it to

Thank You for the tip. The tool itself is great. However it is affected same way by the autolock. Autolock causes device to stay dimmed permanently - even with Lumos running.

First off... I'm new around here & still a little flabbergasted by everything WinMo, but this site has already helped me tremendously.
Secondly, I can confirm the AutoLock bug. I updated my Touch Pro to the latest official rom last night. While running through AdvancedConfig (i think...) I noticed the AutoLock option & enabled it. 10 minutes later I was freaking out that I had stuffed up my expensive new toy...
Disabled, rebooted & all is OK again.
First of all - Advanced Config has nothing to do with it (to defend the author).
Second - thank You for support. I could not find a solution for this problem anywhere and I spent hours googling. For the moment I thought that my TP is failed. Seems that nobody uses AutoLock these days. I don't know how everybody's doing it, but without locking, my TP calls to different people (especially from Favourites tab) from time to time...

I require a password/passcode level of security on my device - which the Lock/Unlock feature doesn't provide. Unfortunately, the current security implementation in WinMO 6.x doesn't allow the Today screen to be seen like the Lock/Unlock feature.
As a result of these shortcomings, most folks tend to use a 3rd Party lock application such as: S2U2, mLock, etc. as they provide the desired flexibility.
HTH,
very familiar with this issue. I'm working on it too. It affects the WM6.5 lockscreen for sure and I thought it was a problem with only that. Bugger that it affects official ROMs as well. Good info though, I can stop concentrating on the lockscreen and start looking at power mgmt.

SmartLock all the Way!!
I purchased my SGS3 about 4 months ago from the middle-east.
I have a series of problems (possibly problems cause I am new to Android phones). I am listing them down here in hope that someone will tell me how to solve them.
The flash of blue
This happened once or twice about a month ago. Whenever I pressed the power button to unlock the phone, the complete screen went solid blue for a flash of a second and then I saw the flower on the home screen.
Is this a hardware issue ? Signs of failing hardware ?
The home screen redraw / lag issue
When I press the home button to exit an app, say Chrome, the screen re-draws itself. The icons take some time to show up back on the screen.
Initially I thought it was related to cache being full. However, cleaning it using ES Task Manager was of no help. The re-drawing continues.
I also disabled the SVoice on double-click home button. No
I saw a YouTube video which says that there is a bug fix but it is available only for UK phones.
Here is the video: /watch?v=5uYw3mVhiuY
Again, is it a failing GPU ?
The grainy screen
Title says it all. The screen seems to be grainy. The grains seems to be more visible under low brightness and on grayish backgrounds. I tested the screen using the screen tester that comes with ES Task Manager. When the color goes to whitish-gray, I can see the grains. They are in bands - horizontal and vertical.
Low quality display
This is not related to grainy screen. This is related to the pulling down of notification menu.
I happened to pull it down slowly while goofing around.
I noticed that the quality of the display gradually reduces as I pull it down. When my finger is near the last one-third of the screen, I see that blue color gets split into bands. A little further down, it looks like the background is some very low quality image.
The bit depth seems to be reducing, if that is a proper term.
Low RAM even on idle
Even when I use ES Task Manager to kill the apps, all I usually have remaining is 323 MB of the 800 MB of RAM that is there in the phone.
Why ?
Lag when opening settings
There is also a lag when I open different settings from settings menu.
If I click on the battery settings, there is a visible lag before the actual battery information pop up.
I know that was a lot of rant but being a beginner, I have no clue how to go about solving any of these.
Thanks for reading.
I hope you can help me solve most of these. If not, please let me know if I should return the phone to Samsung.
As for usage, very light use for casual gaming, web browsing, YouTube videos, reading books.
I haven't dropped the phone at all nor have I modded it in any way.
I have tested it using AnTuTu and it gives my phone 16000+ points. Does that indicate phone is fine ?

No i am saying read and understand the basics first .as you dont have a clue
Then search for your problems .
Or take the phone to s service centre and let them see multiple problems .
Though your warranty is initially with the seller Samsung warranty is an extra limited warranty .

this happens for everyone no matter what! this just appears randomly and this isn't any problem so far!

it depends mostly on the background processes! the less they are, the less the lag will be.

Here is the video: /watch?v=5uYw3mVhiuY
this firmware is way too old buddy! it's 4.0.4! we are already nearer to 4.3! the XXEMG4 and the later firmwares are the latest and there is much less lag when you press the home button like redrawing of apps.
Again, is it a failing GPU ?

Title says it all. The screen seems to be grainy. The grains seems to be more visible under low brightness and on grayish backgrounds. I tested the screen using the screen tester that comes with ES Task Manager. When the color goes to whitish-gray, I can see the grains. They are in bands - horizontal and vertical.

more free ram? try rooting and use greenify

have a good day :good:
I have a minor niggle but wonder if it's due to something I'm doing wrong. I have full backup's of my TA partition and flash custom and stock rom's as and when I choose. I just have an annoying issue when i turn my screen back on it shows garbage pixels on the screen and slowly draws the screen til the bottom and then flashes to a properly drawn screen. Can I remove it or learn to live with it?

My test device - that I picked up very cheep as it had been dropped and the SIM reader no longer works - displays the same issue, I had always assumed it was because of the fall it had.
Sorry if that doesn't help you
like this?
http://youtu.be/oyv5QmD5uQA
Exactly the same issue thanks
Same here but my phone is allways in case and i never dropped it. Oh and factory reset or flashing another ROM is not solution.
Any ideas?
I can only guess that either the RAM fills up with the screen off and once it starts to clear when the power button is pressed it suddenly can draw faster, or it's because the CPU and GPU clock down and slowly ramp up on wake. I'll change my performance settings see if that changes things?!
I've changed the settings in performance. So goto settings, performance, profile and select performance instead of balanced or power save. This seems to have sorted the re-draw issue on the lockscreen, any change I'll let you know. Now I just need to get a basic knowledge coding/cooking rom's and start delving further into android!!

mine is a hardware issue. you will see that it is currently on cm12 but it has done that on Stock, 4.4.x custom and 5.0 CM/AOSP as well. It will only do this if it hasn't be used for a few hours.
So here's a ROM that i would recommend even tho it's in beta Corvus OS it's android 12 and everything works even the Camera but sadly not the greatness of Sony's Camera app...i personally haven't tried it with the Custom Kernel Kirisakura just yet but i will and report back on here if they place nice together...Magisk also works great with this ROM you just have to be careful what you flash...
Hopefully our device will be fully supported soon.
Just putting down some thoughts here.
Double tap to wake is borked, the setting already hints that it is unlikely to work and I can confirm this.
Forcing native res works rather poorly. On reboot I need to reset the dpi to make the GUI play nice, but some things remain iffy. Such as:
Gesture navigation still thinks preview windows should be the lower res, not native (looks poor, see attached images)
Some random visual glitches that cause a silent crash + restore, it's not critical but you can see it happening
No built-in battery health (as in limiting it), have to use something external (AccA)
Camera quality is way worse compared to stock. I don't mind as much as I don't care a lot, but quality regression is very significant (if I have to quantify it, I would accept 20-30%, but this feels more like 60%)
The GCAM's I've found that don't immediately crash (not many) all have serious bugs
No camera app found that plays nice with front camera, hope you weren't planning on taking pictures with the front camera
Edit: For 6 you can actually use the native app. Performance is super bad though.
To not sound too much like a downer I'll also put in some "niceties" compared to stock.
Holding volume button to seek is now native
OTA work again
Good visual eyecandy for charging, locking and more
No bloatware galore
Much much finer control over lots of little things, especially status bar is very nice
Other things:
The default launcher is a bit lacking, so I installed Nova 7, but this still has some shenanigans with force reloading and short unresponsiveness with gesture navigation. Very annoying, but I'm quite sure this is not the fault of the ROM. Just hoped this was improved (suggestions welcome)
If someone found a good GCAM please share, the ones I've found are either broken or seriously lacking.
It seems that sometimes the phone does not respond to my finger until I press the button. This could be intentional to prevent accidental unlocks / phone being locked for X seconds because lots of "bad" fingerprints detected.

Yeah, this is why I've been very hesitant to install to install GSI ROMs, all the issues I've mentioned are because the X1 III is not the same as most other devices.
Wake to tap? Device specific thing.
Native res issues? X1III specific.
No built in battery health? Not device specific, devs pls
Camera issues? Device specific.
I think I'll drop the higher res as that will remove the most jarring of issues. The camera is whatever as it will not improve by switching to PE and double tap to wake is meh. Annoying at worst.

If someone found a good GCAM please share, the ones I've found are either broken or seriously lacking.
It seems that sometimes the phone does not respond to my finger until I press the button. This could be intentional to prevent accidental unlocks / phone being locked for X seconds because lots of "bad" fingerprints detected.

Alright some more shenanigans and needing to do a clean install further I do know some more things now.
1. is still broken, I'll try flashing a different kernel perhaps.
2. It's actually not so bad. It will remember and auto apply on reboot after a couple seconds. Gesture and notification bar may be slightly borked, but that's fixed fast by reloading system UI and switching between gesture and button navigation. The thing about recents has been resolved by switching to a different launcher with it's own quickswitch (lawnchair).
3. Acca works fine.
4/5/6 Nothing.
Another update.
2 is fine. Just don't use the built in launcher while forcing 4k. Just use lawnchair or something (+ quickswitch).
On another note, automatic brightness does NOT appear to work. This is quite the massive issue. I'm honestly a bit baffled how I haven't noticed until today.
AOD is also quite broken, while the phone is on the wireless charging and being ratiod to 90% it will continously blink. That's super annoying as I normally use AOD to check if I got a message, if it blinks it takes my attention, effectively defeating the entire purpose of AOD. *Groan*
These issues are really starting to stack up by now, I'm seriously considering reverting to stock. I'm really worried something else won't be working once I need it in the future.

No autobrighness may be caused by not having an overlay. I've also been annoyed by that on Pixel Experience. Can you create a fresh overlay for this phone and do a pull request with phhuson's repo? (I assume that's what must done)

Issue is that the "official" info provided by Sony seems to explicitly disable double tap to wake.
This makes absolutely no sense as double tap to wake works fine in the vanilla ROM.
Maybe someone can confirm this? It's been some time.

It's available in stock but it has never worked correctly. The proximity sensor doesn't disable it! There's a "Prevent accidental operations with screen off" setting as the world's dumbest work-around. That puts a keyboard and alert on the screen while you're walking. It stops emergency butt-dialing but the battery still runs down.

A what now? I do recall the proximity sensor not working really well with dt2w but at least it worked and I didn't notice some significant battery drain.
I did see some things about dt2w being disabled because the touch interface is powered when the screen is powered and this can't be decoupled. I'm not sure if this applies to this phone though.
Regardless, it shouldn't really matter as the X1 III is an OLED screen anyways. So as long as it's full black it should be fine(?)
I'm not asking for the perfect solution and if battery drain slightly increases that's a worthwhile investment to me. At least provide the option. Don't decide what I want because it has potential side-effects (just warn or something lol).
Actually I'm going out on a limb and stating that dt2w should be enabled by default if the device's screen is an OLED screen. Overlay and device specific things be damned.
