How can I deactivate the box around the lockscreen clock? It is really annoying for me, every time I want to unlock my phone (Swype) I come on the upper half of the screen just to pull down the box.

I would prefer just a clock on lockscreen without anything else, just like in v50 and before.

I did not want now to install a custom kernel. I re-flashed the v52 with no wipe and it is fixed. I don't dare to ...reboot now, maybe later after working hours!

Hey guys I haven't used omega since 43.8 and upgraded to 52 over the weekend but im wondering about the notification bar on the home screen it seems to be transparent but it's black when using apps, am I missing an option or is this tw related?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
It's running in background because of the ota notification from time to time if a new rom is out. I use greenify for that. No need to uninstall or freezing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bartman007:
A simple flash with a new/different kernel is not always the answer, the link you posted is outdated and does not support this version of Android.

First we need to establish how the Omega ROM was flashed, ie no full wipe or full wipe, and what other applications are running.

Then we would proceed to the next steps.

(But it looks like afpapa has fixed it himself, well done mate:good:)

Peace :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zigson:
Somewhere during jumping between Android versions, I've lost access to all files which were stored in sdcard/. Android created a new directory for me in sdcard/0, but I can't get all my old stuff. I've tried browsing to the folder using ES File Explorer, and also by connecting via USB to my computer and browsing in Windows.

Then I tried rebooting to Philz Touch 4 recovery and connecting via USB to browse on my computer, but I can't browse the SD card on my computer. In fact mount /sdcard does nothing.

I know the files are still there in sdcard/ for two reasons:

1) The occupied space on my internal memory is about twice what it should be

2) When I go to "Install Zip" in recovery, I can browse around the old directory structure.

This is a big problem partly because there are some old photos and stuff which I'd like to get back, but mostly because half of my internal memory is unusable, I'm constantly getting low space warnings and can't install any large apps.

Really hope someone can help, thanks in advance :svetius:

Battery service is running at the background.

This is true, but is not draining battery in any case.

It only execs for a second when the battery stats changes in order to update the ongoing battery notification or the battery widget.

No problem at all with this.

It you have battery drain with Omega Files Pro (not possible I think) post a screenshot of your battery stats
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Hey mates I have a folder in sdcard I think it was created when flashing a previous Omega rom version and I selected to backup efs at beginning install. I can't delete this any ideas? Tried in recivery but aroma manager seems to be missing? ? PhilZTouch recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] afpapa:
Thanks,

To update:

I had the v52 originally installed with all the wipes etc. (from scratch). The file was md5 checked ok

I handpicked the app I restored from the titanium backup. None related with system apps. (As far as I could tell)

The only app that was wifi related was "wifi backup and restore". From that I had restored the old wifi passwords, with the process "different device or android version"

The bottom line, after a fresh non wipe installation, the phones wifi works again, even after a reboot.

Android is a complex, open to everyone, system, we love it for that, but occasionally there are some glitches due to a bad written program, an untested update or even due to the...weather (its rather cold but sunny by the way :D )

Happy holidays to everybody!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
The framework of SecSettings apk was changed, so the text in tabs should be removed. Sometimes flashing 1x in recovery doesn't stick (if process has quickly ended, then sth was wrong). Anyway blue theme works fine for me, apart from constant random reboots because of crt-off effect. I'll try and fix that later.

Search for aroma file explorer here on xda. It can be entered through recovery because it's a zip file. Great to move or delete stuff that can't be done while your phone is running.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] zurg95:
Hey guys,

I'm still on Omega v47 on my S3 as I moved to Note 2 a while ago. Long time from the last flash operation, so back to "noob" mode

With this v52, I think it's time to jump to 4.3.

I did read a lot on this forum, however it's still unclear to me what to do when coming from Omega android 4.1.2. So far here is my undertanding...

Preparation work:

1/ philz recovery upgraded to v6.00.8 (4.3 ready)

2/ all backup done to SD (titanium + nandroid)

3/ I have an old efs backup, I guess v52 will propose to make a new one, correct? Else what is the best way to have a fresh one?

4/ Copy titanium + nandroid + dcim files to the pc

5/ Nothing really critical on internal SD, but I'm lazy so better if I can avoid restoring DCIM

Rom installation

Option 1:

1/ Wipe data/factory reset from recovery

2/ Wipe cache partition from recovery

3/ Advanced, Wipe dalvik cache from recovery

4/ Mount and storage, format /system from recovery

5/ Not sure if any other operation is needed here, like format internal SD (I don't know how to do it either) ?

5/ Install rom from ext SD (not sure if really useful either) with full wipe mode

Option2:

Just install rom from internal SD (like I always do) with full wipe mode this time, all needed format and cleaning will be done by omega installer

Can you please confirm the best option and if I missed something?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stelioskal:
you do the option 1.

the option 2 is only if you are coming from v51 to v52
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zurg95:
True if you are selecting no wipe mode.

If you select full wipe mode, cache + dalvik + factory reset, format /system are done by the rom installer (at least that was the case with 4.1.2 rom versions). I'm not sure about 4.3 omega rom full wipe operations, this is why I'm asking
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
To make things clear and simple for you. If you come from a different android version (like you from 4.1.2 to 4.3) a full wipe is a must. Doesn't matter if the rom still called omega. It's based on a different android version. You don't need to format your internal sd. The new android version will make the folder structure for you automatically. Formatting sd is useful if you got any issues that can't be ironed out with a full wipe or if you want a real fresh start. Otherwise you don't need to do it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] siliconaddict:
Or, restore a 4.1.2 nandroid and copy the files to /0
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zurg95:
Sorry for being a pain, so option 2 install v52

with full wipe

should be enough or should I do option 1 (manual wipes).

For the people who like the S4 launcher but don't like the S4 keyboard (like me), just flash the complete launcer and keyboard mod from a few posts back.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
52 already got the new folder structure. If the game is not updated for example it will search the files under sdcard but they are now under sdcard/0. So the game could not find it there and is not playable. You can ask the dev of the game for a solution or stay on 4.1.2.

You can find battery saving tips at the official Omega FAQ or look at some links in my sign.

Fast Review V52

Testing V52 some days since release.

Full Wipe, bloatware remove, comming from testing CM11 nighties (Before CM11 I was at V47).

Installed my 100+ regular apps I use.

Settings and configure everything as I like.

Conclusion: Best feeling/performance/useful/updated ROM for daily use. Great battery performance, for first time I feel I'm taking the S3 hardware at my advantage as user.

CM11 is light as a lady and tries to be advanced but is not accurate with hardware (Camera,battery,sensors). I test also CM9 months ago, and it was weak, so this is my second time choosing Omega at the end. If you want to feel power to use/abuse your hardware as maximum Omega V52 is the way to go. Period

[Galaxy S III Android Development] edd080:
Hi to all, I have noticed a really big improvement in battery life with V52 keep it up Omega Team.

However I have noticed something strange, I usually switch off the mobile during the evening; when I checked the battery this morning under settings--> system Manager the battery was not showing 1 day of usage but only 2 minutes, which means that when the mobile is switched off it somehow resets the usage counter of the battery. If I remember correctly in the previous version of the rom it would actually show the battery usage even if the battery is switched off and turned on back again the next day. Anyone having this same issue?

Thanks for any help.

Try to clear app data and reboot.

Best is you download latest version of philz touch recovery here on xda. You can install through your old recovery as he is also offers a zip version of it. Then reboot. Now you safe that rom installation through the omega app will work. Don't forget to select to install as full wipe.

Enabling 'on-screen keys' & framework-res.apk on OMEGA 4.3

First off thanks for all this ROM work.

My S3 has broken capacitive buttons so for previous OMEGA ROMS I have enabled on-screen keys and then edited Framework-res.apk to reduce their size.

I have just tried moving to 4.3 with OMEGA and have some questions.

1. When enabling onscreen keys (build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) I get 3 keys off to the right. Can I centre them? Can I add a 4th button in 4.3?

2. I tried editing the Framework-res.apk, but had problems decompiling using APKTOOLV3. I guess things have changed for JB 4.3?

Please see screen shot for what I am trying to achieve (left hand side screen).
