Help for everyone

Dear indie, omega team and all other users (like me) out there.

Before I start, I would like to thank indie and the omega team for all of their hard work and dedication to helping our devices be the best that they can possibly be with their ROM which is easily the best one out there.

Now, to the reason of this post; I do not like calling people out on things, but I believe this in the best interest of the community. There have been some posts here of problems that cannot be replicated by anyone else and the reply is always the same, "full wipe and re-flash" even if the user has specifically said that they have already done a full wipe. That is just ludicrous. If they have already tried a full wipe and re-flash, and the problem still occurs, another full wipe will not fix the problem.

Now, I don't post criticism without a solution.

I too was experiencing a problem that no one else was experiencing, my message, phone and contacts were randomly closing multiple times a day. I tried to do a re-flash (no wipe) and that fixed the problem for about two days, then the problem came right back. Then I decided that the best course of action was to do a full wipe and re-flash. I did this and the problem eventually came back. After this, I searched the forum thread and there was no post with the same problem. I didn't post this because I knew that I would have been given the same generic advice. I took this problem into my own hands and I was dedicated to finding the cause of these issues. I found that in some cases, when you flash multiple roms, framework conflicts can occur and even a full wipe will not fix it. The only way is to completely and fully format the internal memory. This can be done by running “mega wipe” from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1832326

Steps:

1.	Back up EVERYTHING IMPORTANT to your external SD card. I mean everything as it is all wiped clean.

2.	Make sure you have a copy of the ROM you want to flash also on your external SD card.

3.	Make sure all of your titanium backup files are also on your external card.

4.	Run the mega wipe script (one in the aroma file as it’s the one I used, but I assume the other mega wipe will work the same)

5.	Install the ROM again from the external SD card.

I did exact this and it completely fixed all my problems, even smaller ones that I thought were ROM related bugs.

Secondly, if you are having launcher redraw issues which I have been having, there is a simple fix to it. Install this app from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...9tLnNtYXJ0cHJvamVjdHMuUkFNT3B0aW1pemF0aW9uIl0

I installed the pro version, but I assume the free version does the same thing.

All you have to do is check the box that says “save on boot” and the one that says “lock launcher in memory”. Then reboot.

I hope what I have written will help some people in need.

Omega team, please do not take anything I have said here as an attack on you, but instead as constructive criticism. I love your work and do appreciate it greatly.

Regards, Taner
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
A very good post.

I too will format my internal sd from time to time, say every 5 to 6 Omega version.

But i don't use that script, just format internal sd from cwm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tmantanner4:
I have used that one through cwm when I did the full wipe (its part of what I do every time I full wipe) and that didn't fix the problems I was experiencing either. That is why I turned to using that script.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mjcook1984:
when doing a custom install when flashing while im going though unticking options it just freezes also im not getting any 4.2 apps such as camera or gmail thats mentioned in the change log
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Really great post mate! I'm glade that where are still people out there who try to find solutions by herself. And I'm really glade about you report your solution. But you also got to say that most of the times we say make a full wipe or reflash the Rom without wipe fix 99 percent of the problems people got. It don't mean we don't know about that format your internal will probably fix it also. Keep up reporting such great solutions! It's really detailed and it will help others for sure.

Best wishes mate!

When you flash the rom in cwm you'll have to do a custom installation.

There you can choose or not the 4.2 apps
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
When doing this, i also do factory reset from backup and reset, then going to cwm, format sd, format system, data and cache, wiping cache and reset, dalvik.

This always works for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mjcook1984:
ive tried the custom installation but it just freezes everything when im unticking options :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Try the workaround by kees. First you click on default installation, when you click on back and choose custom installation.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kassim.d:
Yeah it happened to me once just reboot and try it again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] homer timpson:
Same here - I use Megawipe before flashing any of the updates - and have done so since v20.

Maybe overkill, but I've had no headaches with apps/foreclosures etc using this route.

It also 'forces' you to do regular backups via Titanium and 'organize' other app related downloaded data like dictionary/beautiful widget themes etc that you then simply transfer back from the ext sd card as opposed to re-downloading them.

All for 10/15 prep time that could save you hours/days of potential frustration :D

Clean and fresh .... way to go.

Have someone experienced freezes with TB when restoring apps and when u do no install one of them?

Its maybe data related... but its very weird...

Thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
+1 but only for a one or two apps I got. So what I've done was to delete the backup and download it new from play store.

Nop, been restoring apps, games and their data for the past 6 months for almost all of my standard apps and had no problems at all.

I did however have problems related to synching my backups with dropbox but these were related to the max backup history. As soon as i lowered that to 5 per app TB works like a charm.

Ive installed 34 also. The sms messager closes randomly, some times it works, most of the times I cant even read a message. And for the first time since the 30s roms arrived, I have the feeling the phone eats battery as never before, even if I have the power saver option in settings menu all checked, including CPU power. For instance I go to sleep at 1 am and I let my phone fully charged. In the morning, at 7:30 am it has at most 30% power. Such thing never happened before, I even forgot the phone playing music all night long (poweramp or neutron).

Its so bad I keep checking every day for a new Omega version. Please advice. Thank you.:rolleyes:

You probably have an app in the background draining your battery.

Do you use a custom kernel like siyah for example.

It doesn't matter. Cause custom kernels except siyah will brake video recording. Flash this with recovery to get video recording back. http://db.tt/sK9AYvM8

* back button to kill apps

* menu button for multi window

* customizeable toogles (you have two panels that you can configure separatly)

* an awesome lock screen with 3x5 slots to configure.

and a lot lot lot lot more.....

You should give it a try even if it is still beta!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Basti-Fantasti:
Ok, thanks for your feedback. I'll try that.

Do you think using logcat all night long can shed some light on it?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
The solution is to install the app better battery states. You can find it here on xda for free. Lay your phone full charged (best time is while you sleep) down and don't touch it for a couple of hours. Next morning go in the app hit menu button and click on create dump file. Thus file is stored on your sd. Take the file and post it here or better in bbs thread.

Wallpaper changing

I am suffering an extrange effect on my screen. From time to time the animated wallpaper (first picture) is suddenly substitute by the screen of an application previously used and closed (pinture 2).

The application which screen is shown on the back could be any (in the attached picture is just the settings, but coud be twitter, gmail, ...any) and the moment it takes the place of the right wallpaper it does not seem to be related with any app I launch or any other circunstance.

To recover the wallpaper it is enough If I switch of and on the screen or turn the mobile to landscape

What could be the reason? And the solution?

Image 1 - normal wallpaper

Image 2 - wrong one

Found its always easier in the long run to wipe data, format system, wipe caches then install omega rom. Restore data only for certain system apps, restore all user apps. Using omega 34, boeffla kernel, no animation, no supercharger,disable scrolling cache, elkc modem and ril,note 2 keyboard and camera, custom raubkatze themes, custom gps.conf,removed and frozen loads of bloat, man, my phone is flying, everything works perfectly, sounds great, battery charges quickly and lasts well,can't see how it can be improved :)

I was having the same problem, and solved it disabling the v6 Supercharger, you can easily do this by downloading the omega files kitchen application on the PlayStore, open the app and go to the bottom, open mods, supercharger, download the disable supercharger zip, flash it from the recovery and reboot! Hope it fixes it for you too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sachinaik:
+1

I think V6 is too limiting specially on omega 34(android 4.1.2).

Besides Sammy has corrected some things. Now the audio player doesn't get killed on memory load. Its getting high prio.

V6 is literally choking s3.

1. Browser tabs gets reloaded alarmingly frequent, even for slight switching to audio player, this causes more 3g bandwidth consumption.

2. Nova launcher redraws all the time : means more battery consumption.

Thanks to dear Indie, we have a safe way to switch it off....

I saw lots of benefit when I switch off V6.

Guys try it and share ur experience...

Battery Life

Playing around with settings for battery life. Admittedly didn't use the phone that much, and wifi was off when not needed. But still think 2.5 days, with more than 40% remaining is pretty good.
