Just a suggestion....

Indie, how about making one ICS thread and one JB thread ?

Or dedicating this thread to JB and "archiving" ICS ?

Quite alot of peeps asking q's about ICS and others answering on behalf of JB and vica versa, just a friendly suggestion :D

Indie, Congratulations for your work. I found a bug in Facebook app: its not possible to delet posts (if you slide finger over the post nothing happens). Anyone experienced it? Thanks. I did a full wipe before install v.18.

Fellow Yorkshire Man ICS ice cream sandwich 4.0.4 is the stable ROM which shouldn't really have any bugs in if already non, which is 13.1 when last checked. With omega 13.1 you can download omega files from play store and customise different kernels and customisations thanks to Indie and the team

Omega 18 is insecure ROM based on the jelly bean leaks from sammobile or other sources that Indie and the guys have put together so its easy to install. This is just really for people that are curious to try before the official update, personally i use omega 18 as my daily driver and put up with the bugs you normally get in non secure Roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nhariamine:
Nope!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Ok, been playing with v18 for a couple off hours after setting it up with a full wipe and my standard freezing with TB.

So far, the only problem i have seen a couple off times is with the keyboards.

The Samsung keyboard looks indeed the best working one.

The keyboards especially doesn't likes to switch between languages.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
LED problem is a known issue with this firmware.Especially when charging.It flickers like mad.Ive disabled mine when in charging mode.

I think its a non-compatability thing between the S3,JB abd the app.Im having similar issues and facebook isnt fully JB supported yet on the S3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kcuestag:
Swift3 (Keyboard app) keeps crashing with this rom.

Anyone experiencing this?

PS: I made sure I did a wipe data + cache + dalvik before install.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] poczynek:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] moosamm:
is there any way to go back to ICS (v13.1) without a full wipe or keeping all my data the way it is??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kcuestag:
I did but didn't see anyone mentioning Swiftkey3 (or Swift3) crashing. :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kdogguk:
So far so good with v18

I came from v17 and did a *2767*3655# for complete format and reset. After reboot skipped all the signing in BS and copied v18 to the phone.

Rebooted into CWM and just for complete clear up i did a factory wipe/cache wip/delvik wipe then installed v18 with custom install for a couple of apps i use.

Reboot after install and signed into Google and DropBox etc and all went smooth.

The Samsung Keyboard doesn't FC but it does seem to be out of sync with the touch screen, but use it rotated and it works flawlessly. :victory:

Once the keyboard problem is fixed this will be yet another awesome Omega ROM!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thamlim:
Its a known bug mate. Indie had already warn u in the change log. Thats why i'm still on and happy with v17:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nathsgames:
Yes. V18 I can't even start, both Wanam and Omega, my phone just gets to the Samsung logo and stops.

Full wipe, no wipe what a waste of 1.5GB of downloads...

V17 with Swiftkey was perfect. (got around Samsung keyboard crashing)..

Interesting, the workaround for 16 and 17 was to use Swiftkey, no in 18 the Samsung keyboard works yet Swiftkey doesn't lol; and I just got used to it too! :silly:

Any keyboard fix its really annoying.

Crashes every other text message.

Also boot volume is back and I hate it :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] barondebxl:
Keyboard is working perfectly fine here. I wiped everything like 3 times plus uses Mike1986 super wipe script. So far the Rom is fast and stable with 2 bugs the led blinking while charging and Googlenow keeps FCsing. I haven't tried another keyboard other than the stock one cause of the FCs. Great job Indie!

Downgrade from 17 to 13.1

Attention for those who is downgrading from JB 17 to ICS 13.1

You have to wait for phone to reboot a bit longer than it should be, I thought I got mine bricked and had to do a full wipe :(

[Galaxy S III Android Development] carlos67:
Hey guys, Iv'e noticed something for people running v13/13.1 ICS and running Apex launcher.

It was micro-laggy scrolling through homescreens and I was wondering why, trying all different things like enable/disable scrolling cache etc etc. Was like this for 2-3 hours. Lots of head scratching :rolleyes:

Then I found a solution and BAMM! no more micro-lags. It was something very simple and easy to overlook (and also counter-intuitive too). I simply enabled wallpaper scrolling in Apex homescreen settings menu.

The difference is huge! Buttery smooth now unlike before. Previously I disabled it thinking it would be less overhead but not the case.

Try it yourselves, I can't get it to lag at all now and I'm swiping around at 100 miles per hour!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zero7177:
Thanks you guys so much for the help i try both of your method but my media player still cant find my songs
[Galaxy S III Android Development] barondebxl:
So far

Good:

-Very fast

-more free ram (818 mb I believe)

-Browser is silky smooth

-No keyboard issue ( using stock keyboard)

-Definitely usable as daily driver

Bugs:

-Apparently using another keyboard Gives you FC

-Led blinking crazy while phone is charging

-Google now keeps FC

-Widget drawer is still a bit laggy, when pinched out and scrolling through the widget pages it is scrolling very slowly.

Sorry if a silly question

I understand these roms needing a full wipe.

Is this the only way or am I being a complete NOOB

Full wipe is recommended in this case. But you can try to clear app data (not cache) in Application manager before.

For those users who has keyboard problem (any keyboard FCs) and too lazy to read the OP and some pages back ;)

Thank you for your report, its good to know it works.

I did no changes there,

please try the new v4.2 when it will be released and check it again.

Maybe you should flash again without wipe and with bloat to fix this.

I am sure XXLF2 will become available soon :)
