Thanks very much! This is very helpful.... Just wondering.... On my S4, I didn't bother with rooting, I just installed recovery via odin, then full wiped and installed Omega, as the rom is pre-rooted anyhow. Would it be possible to do the same with the S3 as in...

Install recovery via odin (on stock rom), boot into recovery - full wipe - install pre-rooted omega rom?

If not, no worries. Your help is much appreciated. Just getting used to doing all of this on Samsung handsets as opposed to the last 4 yrs rooting and flashing on htc handsets:eek:

Seems so much easier on a Samsung handset..........without having to worry about that bloody S-OFF lol.

Cheers .AJ
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Hey man,

Yeah the S3 needs to be rooted the first time with the auto root and then after that your all good unless you flash a stock ROM via Odin.That will unroot your phone and you will need to do it again.Has to be done again with Odin too.Once your rooted there are CWM and Odin flashable recoverys depending on what your into.CWM is always the easist mate.Its just the first Odin flash to root and maybe the recovery (depending on what one you flash,theres a few) and then your away laughing.

I had an HTC too before I came to Samsung so I know what you mean man.Its so much more easier with the Galaxy series and you dont dont have that constant worry about how easy it is to brick your phone either.Samsung make good phones for flashing:highfive:

I am moving from Viking v5 to Omega 4.2.2 (v46)

I want to do a clean install , both on phone and also on my SD card.

Can anyone help me ? Can i simply format my SD card ? Also how to fully clean the phone memory/storage and install freshly Omega 46 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AnonymousJP:
All mods work for you?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
I have formatted my internal sd several times without problems.

Just make sure you have your backups in order on your external sd and maybe pc.

And of course, the nandroid and the new omega rom are also on your external sd.

I myself are using the latest cwm touch recovery, but before this I just the latest philz touch recovery, both working great and without issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
you mean i can delete everything on "PHONE" when i connect to my PC ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
You can do a format of your internal sd, but I just use the format option of internal sd from the recovery.

But again, make sure you have your backups in order at least on your external sd. And don't forget the efs backup.

There is also a mega wipe script somewhere on xda that will do the trick, but I myself never used it.

Look at my sign for some links maybe you find them useful.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AnonymousJP:
Hi,

Can someone help me with this issue? I'm running this rom v46 and i've 3.42 GB System Memory in Miscellaneous files. I want to delete it but i don't know how to do that :crying:

Edit : i got this issue when i finished make a backup with cwm touch recovery. Please help me :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
But better to be careful with this. May be you can clean the number of backups in CWM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AnonymousJP:
Thanks for replied my post :)

how to clean the number of backpus in CWM? :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
in CWM, in Backup and Restore, there is Delete from External card (where usually I backup), and then you can choose which backup to delete
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Not sure what you are getting at.

I have the same and i have still the amount of free space on my internal sd as i usually have on JB or ICS.

About backups, you can make a backup to your external sd, when made, use a file explorer to delete the previous backup manually or use apps like Rom manager to manange them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] indresh88:
Can anybody solve this problem...? Settings force close on chosing pattern lock.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
Installed Omega V46 , But i forgot to do " - Format System partition" for full wipe , since i was coming from VikingWay ROM.

should i now reinstall or can i simply keep using the omega ROM ?

I havent come across any problem till now though.

i guess omega installer script itself will "format system partition" right ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AnonymousJP:
I already delete my backup in my external but still get 3.42 GBSystem Memory :(

I'm confuse why total space of internal storage get bigger, is that because the "System Memory"? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] traitor123:
1. Use ES Explorer.

2. Tap the "Globe-Phone" icon on top left.

3. Select Tools > SD Card Analyst.

4. After the scan is complete, you'll see what is occupying space on your SD Card.(For example see screenshot below):
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
most probably it is space which you cannot touch.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

I think the said 3.42 GB is busy by Samsung + OS - and cannot be touched.

we can see that total available space on SD card (internal) is 11.25 GB - from 16 GB.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Doing a full wipe these steps are done by default but choosing to format system manually can sometimes give things a clean start Ive found and just makes the ROM install better with a doudle wipe.If you havent come across any problems then dont touch it mate.If it aint broken then leave it alone.If you do start to have any issues then you can format system and non full wipe install to fix them and then wont need to set-up your phone again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] naveen_reloaded:
thanks for replying.

Its just been hours i installed Omega. Will see if i something pops up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidh10:
Okay..So I have done the Nandroid backup. So now I can straight away flash Omega without wiping data?

Sorry for being so foolish about this stuff.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kung-Fu-Tse:
Omega v46 ? If yes, make full wipe ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidh10:
Nope. Omega 43.6 from Wanam 6.8(also 4.1.2)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kung-Fu-Tse:
then clear into recovery "cache" and "dalvik cache" and then install your fantastic omega rom :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gokosan:
That 3.6gb file is actually your file system. Mine has it to and it has the same amount of free internal storage to when I have the stock firmware.

I have major problems with my phone freezing. I need to restart it a couple of times a day. I have tried as much as I can think of. Removing the apps, cleaning various parts of the system such as dalvik but nothing helps. I am thinking about going down to 4.1.2 instead as many Poole appear to have different small issues with this rom. Its probably great but its not working so well for me.

Guys, I've found a fix for the lock screen "Personal Message/Clock" error.

I've rolled back my ROM to the 4.1.2 version (with factory reset and full wipe) and re-upgrade to 4.2.2.

Another solution would be to re-flash v46 with the Samsung Fonts and "keyguard" (can't remember the name).

:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidh10:
I am using Omega v43.6. So far so good. However the ink effect on lockscreen is not working properly. It makes a sort of spot when first touched and then starts working. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?

I believe its called shatterglass or something. There is a fix given in Indie's post. Should I flash that to get rid of the shatter glass?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Does this also work, if you full wipe v46?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
The fix will fix it as it's stated. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zulmajdi:
There's already a fix for the lockscreen. Search on the previous post :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AnonymousJP:
I tried the SD card analyst and i think it's from system that cannot be touched. Thank you very much for the solution guys ! :D

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Idk, but if you want to get the personal message on lockscreen just flash the v45 and then reflash the v46. Make a full backup before you do that in case of bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewhahalee:
Yes, full wiped. Still working good. :)

Think the problem lies somewhere in the upgrade between 45.1 and 46.

Whereas if 46 was installed on it's own, there's no problem.

There's something about the keyguard widget that solves it. But I'm not too sure. Someone else posted previously that he restored his just by reflashing 46 with the keyguard widget. (Samsung fonts is a must too).

I'm not too sure what keyguard widget does as well :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

My previous installation did not have keyguard widget installed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bartman007:
Keyguard is the lockscreen ;)

ok for example:

Groupon app. If you don't load it after a reboot it doesn't run, however as soon as you opened the app once. Theres like no way to close it except a force close (but sometimes even force close would still cause it to run after like an hour or so) only real way is to reboot.

Come-on... one of you guys must know how to close an app and prevent it from loading up after I leave the app. Isn't there anything like cydia backgrounder that I can set so apps are only allowed to load in the foreground and closes as soon as go back to the launcher???

There you´ll find the stock Android Apps. The Launcher in it isnt stock, its the CM9 Launcher (Trebuchet), but its nearly close to stock.

If you want to update to Omega 7.1, just download the Rom, open it with i.e. 7Zip and delete the SecEMail.apk from system/app and push the stock Email App (must rename it to SecEMail.apk - all Samsung apps need the "Sec" in front) and the Trebuchet.apk to the system/app folder...

I did this with SMS/MMS, Music Player and Calender App and it works just fine! :o

Don't complain like noone has told you how to do. Tasker will do what you want. Just because you don't know how to use Tasker doesn't mean that is not what you need.

If you don't know how to use a program but want it's functionality then you need to sit down and learn how to use it!

It's quite simple once you get the hang of it.

Thanks guys for finding this! Clock/Personal message works great now. I will make a flashable zip with Keyguard, sammy fonts and cache/dalvik wipe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mark5:
If you have wiped caches then you could try to fix permissions in recovery or if that doesn't work a non data wipe fresh install (which solved my intermittent Bluetooth problem).

Failing that the guys on the forum are suggesting a full wipe install after formatting your internal SD card first (after backup! )...bit drastic but people are seeing odd problems solved that seem to only affect a few by doing this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Ok, here we go.

Fix for lockscreen clock and personal message - v46.

This is only to make it easier, so you don't have to go throught Omega aroma installer. Cache and dalvik will be wiped. If you don't see clock at the beginning, try changing to personal message and back.

I didn't wipe data, because I came from omega v43.5 with the same 3minit. I wiped only cache and dalvik. Then flashed rom, rebooted, back to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed 3minit and rebooted. I can see home screen shortly then it goes back to bootanimation.

Hi guys

I need your suggestions.

Gonna give my i9300 to my mother-in-law, and going to wipe it and install an more updated rom (it's on Omega 43.3 atm) for her.

But which version do you recommend as a daily, that will work without any known problems?

43.6 or the latest leaked (v 46)?

Thanks!! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
If the problem comes and goes, it's not really rom related i guess, but it sounds more a problem.of a bad signal.

A few thinks to check:

How was it with previous rom, modems or stock?

Did you checked if your provider has any problems by just calling / mailing them or maybe they have a webpage with current problems?

Are there other people in your neighborhood which use the same provider to check?,

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

If you want it to be safe, and you probably will (don't mess with Mothers in Law) then you best flash 43.6 as a full wipe, including a format of your internal sd, just to be safe :).

That's what i would do, although i am using v46 as my daily rom without any problems.

Could you explain if there are any problems (at all) with v46, and is there anything new usefull/cool/good stuff in 4.2.2 that she could miss out on?

Just before you responded i flashed v46 (factory reset, but not internal sdcard since i can't mount it in recovery to copy the new rom to it afterwards, i'm using TWRP 2.4.0.0) just to try it. :)

Downloading v43.6 now also just incase i need to change.
