Should I flash new bootloader or stay with old one? Im on omega v35 and the only thing that worries me its sudden death. I still have warranty but since my phone is rooted/modified the warranty is gone I think...im in dilemma, so really dont know what to. Also its not 100% that new bootloader really fix sudden death and that red exclamation and counter set to 1 made me confused...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
If you not sure just let everything as it is.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Product F(RED):
Your warranty is only gone if you send them the device and your bootloader shows that it's been modified/rooted. The old bootloader can have that reset with TriangleAway. I've done it and shipped my phone for repair before. I got it back fine. You couldn't even tell it was rooted. I used TriangleAway to reset the counter, and then flashed the stock ROM through ODIN (the counter doesn't go up if you're flashing a real Samsung file). However, I'm not going to flash the new bootloader because if my phone dies, it'll say that I'm rooted because it checks every time you start up the device whether or not the phone has been modified, unlike the old bootloader.

You can flash Omega 36; the bootloader is not included in the ROM. The only way you can get the new bootloader is if you manually flash it on your PC with ODIN. It's impossible to flash it on the phone itself. I'm on Omega 36 right now with the old bootloader.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
So mate. I did a quick research. The good thing is you're not alone. Bad thing as always no clear solution. Here's some things. For some it suddenly works. Other say it's a fault of touch wiz. So my question is what happen on a different launcher?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timvdhoorn:
Thanks for helping!, i just wiped everything through recovery and flashed stock rom with odin now the problem is gone... now i am going to try install the omega rom with again full wipes.. lets see how it goes!

If you run the SuperCharger script you can also make the launcher Bullet-proof, meaning that it never gets killed, thereby removing launcher redraws completely. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12058585 for more info.

Bad news: if only calls are silent, and flashing a different modem doesn't help, your Audio IC chip on your motherboard crapped out. It's a common issue and it happened to me. Samsung has to replace your motherboard. It happened to me twice, even with the replaced motherboard, but luckily the second time it went away. I'm expecting it to come back though. To this day, I complain about it, and that's why I refuse to flash the new bootloader. Samsung will refuse to fix my phone because it'll show the exclamation mark.

I can even name the chip on the board that's bad: U604.

EDIT: Nvm, I see you fixed the problem. Watch out because it may come back.

Hey Omega guys - not sure if it's bug per se, however, on the stock email app (not Gmail), when it opens, it dims the brightness of the screen. Not sure if it's meant to do that or not, so just letting you know.

I've got auto brightness off, and it looks like it defaults to autobright setting when the app opens...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ruadus:
Flashed the new bootloader while I was on v35. I shouldn't, because apparently it doesn't fix anything.

I removed my google account and cleared data from contacts.

I flashed v36 and then added my google account and sync contacts.

Thanks for the ROM :good:

I have the same because of supercharged I think. Now I'm on v36 without supercharged and it's smooth like hell!!! And some other game also.

Mine v36 w/ stock kernel is also freezing. Couple of times I've found my phone asking for PIN code. A few times having just black screen.

First blackenings got me a bit worried because the phone has been affected to SBSOD once before - then the only solution was to have it repaired at the Samsung repair shop.

This time my phone started acting weird (random reboots severe lag) about a week ago with v35 and stock kernel - didn't took much attention to it because I was waiting for v36.

v36 is working better and it feels more buttery than v35.

The only problem is that the blackening still persists.

At the moment I do have v36 with full Wipe install and the "new" bootloader.

Currently running aLogrec to get some clue about what's happening during the blackening (hopefully it'll freeze soon) - btw to recover from the black screen I don't need to remove the battery - pressing power button about 10 sec reboots the phone.

I'm suspecting Swype as the freezing app, because I don't remember that Phone blackened before installing of Swype.

But - it's a bit early to say anything...

if i flash v36, bootloader also is updated (against sudden death)? thx for replies....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
Use search next time. Omega v36 doesn't NOT include new bootloader and it's almost certain that new bootloader does NOT fix Sudden Death Bug.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

You mixed some things. There is still not a MOD for removing Lock Icon from StatusBar. There is only for removing icon for Blocking Mod. Anyway, you can remove it by flashing any theme that is not still updated for V36. Try some themes from Omega Files.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timvdhoorn:
Now I am back on omega and the problem is gone! Dont ask me why but it is gone! I hope its not the chip.. but it is still very strange that the sound could be muted (notifications calls etc) by the volumebuttons and not by the notification button.. but thanks anyway!

My LAST Edit to the new bootloader

Hi mates,

Here you get a complete overview like i have installed my S3 newly to test the new bootloader

Installing is complete new

1. Install XXELLA Stock Rom

2. Wait to installer is complete ready

3.Go into download mod

4. flash recovery cwm-touch 6.0.1.2 - I9300 .tar (the red point on the top of left is comming)

5. restart and shut down

6. go wit the 3 button combo into the recovery mod

7. flash omega rom v.36

8. installing rom ends up to

9. get my apps from playstore incl. TRIANGEL AWAY v2.50 (new)

10. use triangle away and the restart is without the red point

I go into the recovery mod and the counter is 1

I wonder why

Go to the chainfire thread for triangle and read the first page exactly at 3 times.

This one answer asks is on mine

now original text from chainfire

"""On a number of devices, TriangleAway can work, but your firmware may not be supported directly. In that case, the app will tell you it needs to reboot into a special boot mode, which will be happen if you select Reset flash counter. The device will reboot into a special mode which will allow you to review the current status and reset the binary and flash counter values (or abort and do nothing). On some devices this will actually trigger the counter to 1 if its 0 - so if you're "just checking", do that in download mode"""

I make a look into the download mod aaaaaaaaannnnndddd SURPRISE

Product name: GT-I9300

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL

Surprise, surprise, surprise

Everything is like it shall be

That´s was and a lot of fun with copying this overview

Many regards

This is my last post to the new boatloader

contact issue

Hi,

i have upgraded to v36 but i have one issue related to contact display.

when somebody is calling me instead to disply the name, the phone is displaying only the phone number.

i went back to v35 and now everything is ok

Can you help me with an answer?

Thanks

Horatiu
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
If you would have searched this forum, you wouldn't need to go back to v35.

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Product F(RED):
That's because you're not ON the new bootloader.

Does nobody read anymore? The new bootloader needs to be flashed SEPARATELY from your computer. It cannot be flashed from your phone. TriangleAway is working because you're on the old bootloader. If you were on the new bootloader, you'd have a red exclamation mark while you boot, and your flash counter will ALWAYS be 1, just for having a rooted device. The new bootloader doesn't just check the number of non-official ODIN flashes. It also checks if you have a custom ROM, recovery, or kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
I tried it with TA v2.50. The new option sets the system status to "normal". But everytime I go in the custom siyah recovery, counter in download mode jumps to 1. So it still isnt' perfect.

flashing over omega and some questions

Guysi got 2 questions here :P

I unchecked the digital clock in the custom install of Omega v36,

1) if i flash omega v36 Rom again and i just flash that digital clock will it work???

2) Another thing, if i flash KAGALAS ics like theme, is there a way to go back to omega stock Rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] woaloo:
Great Great Idea !!! &HNY

8. The new mod "Lock on status bar next to clock" locks the device when you press it, its like pressing the Power button.

Please let me know if you like this new feature, if not I wiil remove it from the next update.

ABSOLUTLY MARVELLOUS MY DEAR !!!

It's really a must have. Where did you find this idea !

Please let this sweet little button in the future, or make a mod to be able to have it.

It's the quickest way to lock and off my phone, and no need of hardware button. Really a great idea.

PS: some friends of mine ask me how they could get this feature without omega rom ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ruskin0611:
Hi guys, long time user of Omega (been using it since version 21), first time poster (in this thread).

Firstly, let me say that Omega is an amazing ROM with a fantastic team. Thanks so much to indie and the team for the ROM and the incredible support you guys provide.

I do have one question though (and NO, it's not related to exynos memory leak, bootloader or SMS/call only showing numbers instead of contact names).

I have literally read all posts on this thread and don't recall seeing my issue come up. But when I install Kalagas ICSLike theme (or even the mixed theme), I get strange looking power widget icons.

It was fine in version 27.2;

But after 27.2 I jumped directly to 32 and since then, I get strange looking icons (am currently using version 36);

I have tried quite a few things, such as;

- Running the Megawipe script (clears internal SD, does factory reset, basically wipes everything)

- Installing the ROM's with different options (remove bloatware, default install, custom install with various apps not included), in case there is something in the ROM that must exist for the theme to work

- Fix permissions

I usually install the ROM then reboot into recover and install the theme (version 13 and recently tried version 14), by clearing cache and dalvik first, then run fix permissions after. But each time the icons don't look correct.

Is there something else I could try or something missing that I should have done during the flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Railius:
Agreed

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
It's exclusive omega.

1 Yes but you got to Mark also all the other apps you want otherwise they get deleted.

2 Reflash without wipe to get back stock theme.

its no widget so you can put on dockbar.

i have this at the beginnings of froyo, years ago .... its alway great and work fine.... the advantage is that is independent from rom or some else :D

does anyone know how can put away this new feauter?

(i know, if flashed a theme from raubkatze, its away, but dont wana do this)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RorixRebel:

Bricked..?

So I managed to brick my phone while trying to get rid of the red !

I've managed to (finally) get in download mode but I'm having some problems:

1) How do I flash this ROM via Odin? Everywhere I've read says to just extract the zip and use the tar/md5 which is insidebut I can't find that in the zip package..

2) I downloaded to Odin version of Siyah kernel to see if I can get CWM Recovery to load but when I try to flash this I get the error: "There is no PIT partition"

Can anyone point me in the right direction... I've searched google the last couple of hours and seem to be going in circles....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marcadam:
I would recommend flashing a stock rom and then try going back to Omega.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
So what did you try to do, flash an old bootloader? Beacause in that case your phone isn't bricked, just reflash the new bootloader in Odin.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rexboy:
If you just want the digital clock no need to flash the rom again. Anyways open the rom zip and go to Indie/samsung/app and open the apk you want to install.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] IamIrene:
since your phone bricked, and can access to download mode

flash to stock rom using pc odin

then only root the phone and flash cwm recovery, then only flash this rom

question 1 already answered

for question 2, just download .zip version, flash in cwm recovery, for the pit partition no idea didn't face this problem before

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Product F(RED):
I did, but it didn't make a difference. Just like when the phone came out of the box and before I changed the value to 1, it still goes down to H when not in use (good). I read here that it's determined by a database in the phone:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
I posted link for some other reason:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nobnut:
I think you've slightly misunderstood the concept of Network Enabled Fast Dormancy. It has nothing to do with reported signal strength, so the 'H' being/not being reported isn't related.

The following is an overly simplistic explanation of NEFD... carriers and phones which support it handle the packet data differently to those which don't support it. Basically, rather than stopping and starting a stream of data every time the phone communicates with a server (which uses slightly more power), NEFD has a more streamlined method of connecting, handshaking and then transferring data between the server and device. It therefore uses slightly less power.

Again, it has nothing to do with signal strength :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
In fact your signal issue has noting to do with FD.

EDIT: nobnut answered perfectly well!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Product F(RED):
Hmmm. I thought that meant it was working. Maybe it's just my prepaid carrier. I'll try flashing another modem tomorrow then.

I think I should explain though. Everywhere I go, I have HSPA+ (H+). If I, say load a web page, and then stop using anything-data related, it goes down to H. If I start again, H+. Is that normal behavior?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] da.trute:
Hi, I cannot seem to be able to mount my exfat formatted SD card with this ROM using the mass storage app, doesn't work on my windows 7 or xp machine. If I jump back to rooted stock ROM it works fine with the same app.

MTP works fine, anyone else finding this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nobnut:
I see that as an advantage. You will use less resources/power when not connected to H+. I don't know if this is normal as I don't live/work in an H+ area. I have a feeling it might be normal however.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sjgore:
Since day 1 of having my SGSIII, I've had battery drain and had only been getting about 18 hours maximum out of the battery. I've had to plug it in and charge it by early evening just to get through to the time I go to bed.

After extensive use of BetterBatteryStats and and uninstalling things one at a time and re-installing things one-by-one, I've identified the culprit: Chrome Beta.

I'm on Omega 6.0 with Siyah kernel 1.2.6, and have had Chrome Beta uninstalled for three days now. Without exaggerating, battery life has almost doubled. Turns out Chrome Beta was preventing my phone from going into deep sleep most of the time, but now it sleeps like a baby almost as soon as the screen goes off.

The last couple of days, it's still been at 30% at the time I go to bed, about 11pm. No evening charging required.

FWIW, after further investigation I found that unticking "Sync Chrome" in "Settings > Accounts and Sync > Google" appeared to have the same effect on battery as uninstalling Chrome, but bookmarks will no longer sync with PC, and sharing tabs between PC and mobile stops working too. Have reverted to stock browser for now.

Hope this helps somebody with a similar problem.

It's a bit of a strange one, though, because on my old HTC Sensation (now my wife's) I'd been using Chrome Beta for months without any battery issues.

I think it only depends on base station in your current location.
