Guys, the 3 is my first Samsung android device, but I'm struggling to love the aggressive behaviour of the task killer, any way to make it less killy?

Every time I load a new app its killing stuff, my DHD with less ram never did this, and this doesn't do it if I put cm9 on it.

Any ideas, was thinking of just freezing the Samsung task killer, but not 100% sure what else its hooked into?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salada2k:
Did you do the Remove Bloatware install? I'm not sure if it helps (cos I have never installed WITH bloatware) but assuming it doesnt include a couple of apps that may run in the background on a default ROM then there's a good place to start recouping some RAM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Honestly, can you stop lying to people to get attention and get their hopes up? I don't doubt your numbers, I just doubt you are using your device defined as "normal" value use. You're either running with that 4300 mah battery or doing something else.

i had the black bar camera bug. installed the xxblfb kernel and it fixed it.

and i still have those new settings on wand, like solarize etc etc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Can you describe this black bar problem? What does it look like?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] steveruthless:
How to remove black right corner bar in camera..i revert to stock camera but the bar still there..anybody can help.thanks in advance

found the solution: i flash this Insecure_Kernel_I9300XXBLFB and the black bar now disappear
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Oh holy crap lol. I notice the black bar now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RMXO:
I had the black bar & restarted the app. It did go away but it comes back once you kill the app. I know I can install the kernel fix for it but I like the one I'm using & restarting the camera app doesn't bother me.

ICS Camera + doesn't have the black bar issue though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kashortiexda:
If you read a few pages back, there is a kernel that fixes camera black strip. Posted by indie earlier
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tvhak:
if you go in recovery and flash the rom you will get an extra menu there you can choose to install the bloatware

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi ::indie::,

I have donwloaded you ROM. I should be able to you use ROM in German. I looked inside the system/csc folder and thought I should fine some subfolder for Germany like "DBT, DTM, DUT, EPL, MAN, MBC, OXA*, VD2, VIA, XEG". Do I get someting wrong?

Could you please tell me why the new version is based on ZSALED? Is there something new/better compaired to XXALE9 ?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salada2k:
I'm having the same problem. Signal inside is weak, my HOX was much better (so was my iphone 4!!!!)

I think we have a problem with the hardware. I'm going to return mine to where I bought it and get an exchange for a new one.

There was over 9.5 million of these things sold, if there was a big problem it would be all over the internet right now, I think we just got unlucky.

Having said that, I'm just about to flash Omega 3 and see if the new radio helps. Which radios have you tried, and where did you you get them?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] klarmacker:
you can use it in germany

ich nutze es auch es macht keine Probleme...

das Modem wird noch nicht geflasht, von dem her hast du keine einschränkungen
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DirkStorck:
@klarmacker: Vielen Dank. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marvi0:
great work, someone asked, a few threads back, about having stock battery icon, without the percentage, and it was mentioned, an update or something would be posted to enable stock battery icon, has this been done, because i also prefer the stock battery icon, as that way, i dont get paranoid, watching the battery go down, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RE795:
Install Busy Box from play store....faster fix needs this to work...

Hope this helps...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marvi0:
oh, just saw the posted cmw, stock posted, apologies, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Timpppa:
Tried with your instructions but didn't work for me. Stuck in boot up screen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dagrim1:
Hmmm, how long should the first boot take?

I flashed v3 from a stock rom (with cwm and superuser) but it's now on the samsung logo for quite a while already (no wipe).

I modded the rom by adding the videoplayer.apk and musicplayer.apk and replacing the framework posted a bit earlier. Will try the unmodded version in a bit if this doesn't boot...

*and now I see the post above mine, reflashing unmodded version now ;) *

And that one worked fine, sweet :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] klarmacker:
the framework will be you problem. try the original omega v3 framework.

after that your s3 will boot normal
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Schrotty35:
I get on every Boot a fc in com.android.phone and i can not use the Phone. I have make a full wipe before i install the rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] klarmacker:
which modem you have?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zanr Zij:
For me, v3.0 is very impress: smooth and better battery life.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] omid_freesky:
can someone PLEASE give me the original framework-res.apk

i replaced it with the one from earlier post (overwrite) and didn't boot.

NOW i know i made a big mistake.

PLEASE GUYS, i don't have a fast internet, it will take me the whole day to download the whole rom again

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nikos523:
7-9 days without charge is possible.

But It's obvious that the usage must be like this:

Almost NO use (10 minutes screen-on?), ~5 minutes calls per day, 2g, no data/sync,no games, etc etc.

Once i used my sgs like that and it was alive for almost 7 days.

No use = almost no consumption

@Frisianbear

Dude, your screen time is too much.

You are charging your phone, or using bigger battery.

Show us the graph, screen-on time etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ngo8:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] blitzkriegh:
sorry for asking this but can someone share the link to download the stock lfb camera? or is the version of the stock camera in omega is the recent lfb?

sorry I'm using the Android xda apply and the search function is not that friendly...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drknezz:
HAHAHA.. we can see the spikes in your battery level mate. We know you're charging the phone everytime you see them. Plus if you weren't lying you would have shown us the detailed view which tells you if you've charged your phone or not.

We're a bit too smart here to think you can trick us buddy but nice try :)

Sent from my storming fast Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ttav:
Omega v8.0 running great for me.Flashed the xxbflb kernel and camera black bar and youtube video push up sorted.Updated camera fw and everything is fine.Battery life good.Excellent work indie and team.:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zebbe77:
Just download it from Omegafiles, open the app Omega files and you find all the goodies in there including stock camera.

Check so you have the latest version of Omega files v.1.02.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
sd card bug fix?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
I uploaded the extended power menu for v8.0

Download the mod from here.

Mod contains also the brightness fix!

I updated the v8.0 info post with all updated and fixes (this post is linked to 1st page)

Many questions are answered there please read :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] salada2k:
LOL Glad someone said it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimJ87D:
How different is the new insecure kernel and the one that comes in V8?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] saberzaid:
Omega pls make 8.1 to include all the fix ,

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jcheong:
Umm anyone else having problem flashing the Full Kalagas_Mixed_Theme_ICS_I9300_Universal v2.1? I had a full wipe before I installed the 8.0 then after a reboot I wipe cache and delvic then try to install the kalagas 2.1 it loads up to the point where it says wiping delvic cache then just pauses there forever. I then force reboot and try again, same thing. I can install all the other patches fine just not the kalagas. Never had problem before with the 7.0 or 7.1. I downloaded the kalagas 2 times already and crc checked the zip, doesn't seem corrupted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
I will guys, no ETA this time so I can work without stress :) :)

But you will have it soon ..... :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PacketJ:
Fully understood sir, you don't have to rush. Thank you very much for this wonderful ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ch061441:
I have tried it, but the camara bug still exists, only when I change the resolution to 6 MB it desapears, but with 8 MB no.

Regards.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Khoral:
Check Settings > Developer Options > Do not keep activities, if it's checked then uncheck it.

I was thinking the exact opposite from you, when I go to Task Manager, every old task is still here, even a lot of time after I closed it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deejay6901:
hope the kernels here will fix the camera bug for this new firmware.. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matw01:
says its already up to date
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ch061441:
I have tried the new kernel with the stock camera together but no luck, the bug still exists.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
Try to install stock camera from Omega Files and check this again.

DO you have Omega Files v1.02???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
Thank you all!!!

For one more today Omega is one of the most popular threads in all xda

http://www.xda-developers.com/

Thank you for keeping Omega on top​
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MuertoKo:
Mates I need to share this after seeing that battery debate.

Tonight with perfect H+ connection and mobile in DeepSleep I had a 10% drain over 6 hours, fully stock 8.0, 2 minutes screen time!...

If this is normal my max usage is something like 60 hours, so not even 3 days of pure standby... should I do something or my device is ok and people just like to get attention? O.o

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] radeonxt:
we can all blame that "SOON" guy for indie being pressured to putting out this rom out fast before he could iron out all the bugs.

hey indie, please don't be pressured next time so that you can please those who can't wait and in turn let many suffer from the bugs.

you can give a favor to those who donated as your beta testers for 3 days or more for your new release. that way there will be many who can help you in finding if there are still bugs you haven't seen by yourself.

and last but not the least, don't put SOON in your title anymore lest it be munitionl for the ungrateful basterds who pressure you to release it right away when they don't even donate for your efforts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
Nice icon Tiger!!!!

yes, 3rd thread in all xda

Thank you all Omega Family!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ch061441:
Yes I have Omega Files v1.02, and have tried 2 times with the kernel you did and the stock camera, but no luck.

What is wrong ?

Regards.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jnr21:
You can extract ringtones from blackstar zip yourself, they are in /system/media/audio/ringtones.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jcheong:
ok just tried that still can't flash the kalagas 2.1 even from internal or external. It just gets stuck at Wiping dalvik-cache.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deejay6901:
the camera bug was gone when i applied the stock insecure kernel. but somehow i love the features of those modified kernels (im using phenomenal btw.. :D ), until new version of siyah kernel is no longer in beta stage.. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vatvedt:
Remember that 8MPix has bars on both sides. Not as big as when the bug is present, but still, pretty big bars om both sides. Large enough to cover the menu and shutter button. 6MPix is wide. That's why the bars are gone when choosing 6Mpix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ::indie:::
It usually takes same time to finish, please be patience.

I am sure all kernels will be updated soon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Black strip bug:

Normal screen:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ch061441:
thx a lot Raubkatze, then I didn't have it all the time, my screen was always the second one (normal screen, with moded camera and with the stock camera with siyah kernel)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
It only happens when using 3264x2448 (8Mpix) resolution.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jnr21:
LF5 modem works find with omega v8, it gives me better battery than LFB modem.

Edit: it's not work, no call sound :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Then you're lucky if you have not any problem with sound in call.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ch061441:
I have 8Mpix, siyah 1.2.6 and didn't have the bug at any time, I have allways the second image you posted here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SteveTilsed:
Sorry i have another error, 'insufficient storage available' when trying to install any app. I do have plenty of space free.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
So I don't know... I re-tried all stable kernels before found that camera (doesn't matter stock or modded) works w/o black strip only when using XXBLFB kernel... Btw it happens randomly.

There are many solutions - http://www.google.com/cse?q=insuffi...sc.tab=0&gsc.q=insufficient storage available
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jnr21:
You are right, other person can't hear my voice. I thought that there are unknown basenand if modem doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
That's why new baseband was included in Omega v8. Everything works fine only when we're using XXLFB baseband :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lars Jensen:
Is it possible to install a 6 days transparant weather app on this eminent rom?

1000 thanks for the great rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ballfire:
i'm having problems with the process com.google.process.gapps failing

randomly every few minutes i see this message pop up ?! how to fix this ?

is it just me that it seems there isn't much free memory left even though i am running minimal stuff. i only have about 100meg free thus possibly leading to the stock browser to become completely unresponsive for a few seconds at times
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zincsnow:
Try wiping cache and data? Memory is always low, I also realize I have 100 plus free memory left. For RAM that is.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Olli221:
It´s possible to make the Top-Bar transparent?

Olli
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Can you provide a link to this app?

I think free memory size has nothing to do with your issue. Try at first to reset your google account. And you can also try the next: go into Settings > Accounts and sync > your_google_account and uncheck everything, then manually sync everything one by one to see what is causing the problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zincsnow:
The status bar you mean? Search this thread, I remember reading it somewhere why it can't be done.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baqwer.a:
Hi. I believe lots of you guys had HTC android phone. Therefore you know how merging contacts from more accounts works - it works just fine (automatically, no issues at all - logical merging on phone level). I am just nuts from this phone, merging works manually only.

I found this app - contact remover plus - it does it's job but it is not what I need (it also removes contacts from other account what is not usefull for IM).

Do you have any suggestion? I wish I bought ONE X.... this is driving me crazy
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vatvedt:
There was a mod that worked earlier. Check out the theme section. You might find a mod there that works.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] joe_donkor:
Works fine for me. Even worked in the Galaxy S i-9000.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Hmm... Sorry but are you sure you write in correct thread? This is I9300 Omega thread not HOX one :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baqwer.a:
Yes, I am quite sure. I have I9300 Omega........
[Galaxy S III Android Development] krifos:
It's driving me crazy too. I'm also used to HTC-phones where this works perfectly.

With SGS3, not so much!

Another thing, even if I've manually merged contacts via contacts-app: whenever i try to attach a contact (from contact list in messages) when sending a message, all contacts are un-linked - so i have to add a contact, and then see if it was the correct version...!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deniax:
Anyone have problems with some widgets not showing up anymore since 8.0?

For example HD Widgets is not working for me anymore.

I tried wiping Dalvik cache, installing widget again, but nothing seems to help
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fritz Thecat:
Yes, all this bar have not the NICE Symbol inside. We need a transparent bar from "INDIE"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Ah.. Ok. But in this case will be correct, I think, to post your question here - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps, or here - Galaxy S III General.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baqwer.a:
OMEGA creators, would it be possible to port application for contacts merging to ROM? HTC app for this works flawlessly :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
It's compatibility problem... Unfortunately some apps don't work correctly with new samsung fw.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinokirk:
Does anyone have a link to a black themed GTalk apk that works on this ROM?

Im running at 240dpi, and the Email app doesnt seem to like it:

Is a sense feature, so impossible to port here. maybe exist an app to do that in the play store, i will check later

Howto switch between 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN

At home, I switched to 5GHz because there I have the quicker connection, now at work I have a 2.4 GHz WLAN only and I find no way back to 2.4GHz or auto with the newly installed V8. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] radeonxt:
i will pretend to be the "soon" guy.

SOON? why you saying soon when there is no date????? (many question marks to exaggerate importance)

you fooling us? we not giving you anything, no dinero that's why you must release it fast or we be angry MAN!

:D

then after you release it immediately and there are lots of bugs, the "soon" man will again complain but under another handle.

why you release it fast man???? are you not understanding there is many bugs in your custom rom? your rom is ugly, k tnx bye.

lols

:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] inffy:
I really hope this was not meant as it easily read...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Smiffyboots:
If you want an app for syncing Facebook contacts (pictures in contact list etc) I can recommend "Hacsync" It's on play shop but it's not free.

However, it's not a normal app, so read the description thoroughly!

Hi guys, I want to try this rom but i'm still on the old stock rom. I need to update first to XXBLFB and than install omega rom or I need just a full wipe and install this directly?

Thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SteveTilsed:
Thanks mate pointed me in the right direction!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vatvedt:
- Root your phone (unless it's already rooted)

- Full wipe (unless you're already on a previous Omega version)

- Flash rom

That should do the trick! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] germanandy:
Hi

Is there a chance to have a centered clock?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] inffy:
full wipe and install
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fischerben:
Anyone Else but me getting battery drain from "battery monitor". Wakelock
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Franc38:
Better late than never... but, well, if your phone is syncing with a certain number of accounts, that's not a bad battery consumption. If you were to turn off all the synchronisation that goes on, for apps, widgets, accounts, and so on, you'll certainly have a much lower consumption.

When I'm home, resting at night with great network and wifi, it still loses half a percent to 1 percent per hour.

Abroad, with no data (so no syncing) I barely lose 1% over a night!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m.gabro:
isn't a full wipe recommended as well when upgrading between major versions (e.g. omega v7 to v8)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raubkatze:
Another one short note. Please read before flashing Omega v8.

Importand - Read before flashing:

1. You might have an error message in the notification panel: Format USB Storage on every reboot, this does not affect sdcard but make sure to backup your files. - update and fix here!!!!!

2.Stock Camera works better than the camera HX-MOD v1.35 included in rom, install New XXBLFB Stock Camera from Omega Files, go to Go to All Deodexed Roms -> Camera -> Stock Camera -> Download Stock Camera or get it from here and to fix cameras bug install XXBLFB Insecure Kernel I made from here.

3.Modem XXLFB is included in v8.0 if you change modem you might have call sound problems

4.Update Omega Files from play Store to get v8.0 files and all updates, Omega Files v1.02 will soon be available @ play Store

​
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Franc38:
You can even flash Omega on top of stock with no full wipe...

If you don't have any issues, or bugs, then fine. If not, well, full wipe and it should be OK.

So in general, unless you change data structure (like going from Sammy based to CM, AOSP, or MiUI) a full wipe is not absolutely necessary, but may help in case of bugs, problems, unstabilities.

However, if you keep on flashing ROMs, from time to time a full wipe is a good thing, to keep things from "degenerating"... On the Nexus One, the consensus was that once every 10 flashes a full wipe is quite needed.
