Have you actually tried focal before?

No focus option.
Swipe to view and delete from its gallery is laggy
No undo action if accidentally delete a pic
Need press and hold wait it focus, and release to capture, all other camera app just press once it auto focus and capture.
Randomly force close
Photosphere not working

Most fail fail camera app ever. Period.

I may try it again. Come to think of it, I never tried 4.1 aosp ROMs before.

4.3 slim bean and cm is so buggy. Feels like a downgrade. Especially camera and browser

I wanted to check 4.1 due to curiosity.

What are your thoughts on 4.1? More stable and smooth than 4.2?

It probably works great only on nexus device. Definitely not s3.

Camera quality sucks compare to 4.2.
Can't snap pic when zoomed in.
AOSP browser is ridiculously laggy, even s2 on ics have smoother scrolling in browser. Not a problem for u if you prefer chrome.
AOSP rom don't have s beam, the only app that replicate what s beam do is superbeam. Superbeam don't work in sSlimbean 4.3

Browser and camera are the 2 most frequently used app for me. Losing superbeam capabilities is a big deal to me too.

True, s beam is sending files using wifi direct. But,
You cannot send files using wifi direct. It's not in the sharing option on aosp.

You need super beam to replicate what s beam do.
You can send any files at insanely high speed.

On 4.3 roms, the camera in super beam don't work. So you cant scan the qr code on the sender phone

Is it safe kernel? Some leaks are not sudden death safe.

yes slimbean and other aosp rom have wifi direct.
But there is NO option to share any files via wifi direct.

In touch wiz, there's is a 'wifi direct' option in the share menu.
S beam is an easy way to share things using wifi direct. It skip the paring steps using nfc.

Fr aosp rom, you need to install super beam in order to share files using wifi direct.
Super beam is even better because it can send files to non wifi direct device, for device without wifi direct, it will send using wifi hotspot.
The pairing process is done via scanning qr code. Sadly the qr scanner in superbeam don't work in 4.3.
So there is no way to send files via superbeam/wifi direct anymore.

See video for better explanation

Wanam Xposed works or not?

just restore your apps using titanium backup lo.
few minutes work. no big deal.

its always recommended to do a wipe when change roms anyway.
avoid any unwanted issues.

wanam already release his custom rom based on the leak 4.3
this should be cool since its fully compatible with the wanam xposed framework.
his framework offers almost all the custom features found in custom aosp roms.

ttpod, best for any rom.

Using wanam 4.3

First impression is laggy.
There is a persistent one second delay when I press the Setting from the notification shade. Annoying similar to the 4.2 leak.

Other than that looks similar to the 4.2 leak. Will continue use for awhile before give more comments.

i am using nova. same only the delay is not only for the settings. many apps also like that.

compare 4.3 and current official 4.1, there are good improvement. transparent status bar is very nice.
quick settings is very useful. lock screen widget is a good addition (dashclock is one of the most useful lockscreen widget)

wanam xposed framework is very awesome. features like long press volume skip track, long press volume up to on flash light at lockscreen, am/pm size, nfc behavior, status bar and quick settings themes customization, remove sound warning, enable camera after low battery warning, and many many more. wanam should deserve a nobel prize for samsung touch wiz rom. this is even better than what jKay did last time.


but i notice there are short delays happening in many places. its not considered lag, the animations are smooth,
its just that things tend to take longer to load. enough for me to feel the delay. simple things like opening whatsapp, smooth opening animation, after that i stare at a blank screen for 0.5-1 seconds like that only the messages appear. its as if the low memory killer is too aggressive. especially the settings. it takes the longest to load. pressing back and reloading it again, it loads fast, but switch to other app for awhile, and try opening settings again, the 1 seconds delay returns. the task manager shows i have 100MB free ram, it's using 700+ out of 800MB ram. should be more than enough. on fresh boot ram usage is 500MB. (this is after freezing 50+ samsung bloatware), even after i installed wanam xposed framework, the delays are still there.

TLDR: something wrong with low memory killer, it kills background apps too aggresively causing long delays when opening apps again. see the first time opening settings & phone app, these delay happens to whatsapp as well


one more complain is the lock screen widget. 4.2 above suppose to have swipe from right edge to launch camera. but this is not present in leak touch wiz 4.3. very weird. there is no option to enable it in the settings. i remember in 4.2 leak, there is such option.


the delay issue is way too annoying for me to handle since i never experience that kind of delay on 4.2 aosp custom roms. despite wanam xposed being so awesome, some custom aosp feature are not available. like the notification led customization, nav bar and nav ring short cuts.

sure laggy when using ripple effect. change to no effect is slightly faster.

anway i already restore to previous rom. cant stand the delay keep happening.
i did not underclock when testing the leak. heck even slimbean underclock to 1GHz is more consistently fast then it.
well a leak is a leak, hopefully the final official version will be better.

this kind of post should include link and pics. that will save a little time for many people.
but thanks for the news :-)

Google+ will auto do eraser shot for you.
Included in their new auto awesome feature

what rom is this?
you have some serious wakelock issue, android OS usage so high

You didn't do cwm backup before flash leak rom?
You can always revert back to previous rom.

Data signal also related to rom?
If you are using digi, I guess it's telco problem.

Yesterday I try various ROMs. Aokp milestone 2 and cm10.1

I realize they speed up the default animations speed in Slimbean. The ones in cm and aokp are slower and moother. Since aokp keep getting camera can't connect issue, I stick to cm. Like the smooth animations.

all 4.2 aosp rom, include cm,aokp,slimbean have high android os in battery status.

some say its error reporting, and battery life is good.
but according to wakelock detector, its real with very high phone awake time.

i posted this in xda slimbean forum. yank replied and tole me its cm10.1 kernel issue affecting all 4.2 roms

he made a fix in his 'yank' kernel. have to register in his forum.
i tested working good on aokp cm and slimbean.
http://yank555-lu.net/

my battery stats currently. android OS is way at the bottom.





the aroma installation is quite overwhelming. way too many options and customization
basically i just leave everything as default, except the max clock speed. (its 1.6GHz by default, too high for me)
