The EFS backup is there if you want to go back to an older ROM version, ( if someone knows any better please correct me, I don't mind :silly:).

Once you flash Omega 43.8 or 43.9 then you have to stick with the new modems EMG4 or EMG2, or you will not get a phone signal and your IMEI will corrupt until you put the new modem back on (again please correct me if I am wrong :silly:).

EFS backup, does it all on your PC via USB, I find it useful.:good:

Its the way Samsung have gone.:eek:

How happy are you guys with omega 4.2.2 ROM, I've tried several 4.2.2 leaks but ended up disappointed by the constant slowdowns and redraws. Is it any better on Omega, or is it the same? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kirpman:
I am actually quite happy with it. Slick smooth and very good battery life
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mosec:
Thanks, could you please detail your setup. Do you use touchwiz, any special framework, GS4 launcher port or the stock one and which modem? Thanks, again. I really want to try another one.

How can I download MF6 based Omega v43.7? I don't wanna use v43.8 or v43.9 because of imei issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kirpman:
I use very common setings. Just rom and Nottach framework for some customization. I used to use kalagas ics like themw also but lately I find that stock images seem more cool :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NocNoc9595:
I've always keep the same apps I used with previous versions of omega and it never did this...I also find my phone freezes at random times and I have to battery pull...so weird..is 46.1 running perfectly stable for everyone else?

I think I've done like 7 full wipes ...always same results...

Hello,

sorry if its an obvious question but would xposed framework work on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 version of omega?

Also i did read 4.2.2 has good battery life but correct me if i am wrong, 4.1.2 has better battery life right especially considering there are different kernels are disposal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bartman007:
I have the torrent link:

Omega 43.7 XXEMF6
[Galaxy S III Android Development] minop:
I just root and installed Omega v43.9 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on my Galaxy i9300. The ROM is smooth and cool but I prefer the stock theme.

Indeed, I'm trying to remove the "23 Toggle Buttons Mod" and the circle battery mod.

Where can I find a stock theme to flash or how can I change it? By the way, I use the TWRP recovery.

Thank you ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mosec:
So no weird slowdowns and touchwiz redraws for you either? Whats's your setup? Any themes, frameworks or GS4 Launcher port. I always installed the GS4 launcher port from arsaw. Maybe that's the culprit for my trubles with ME7?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Murdhie:
Tried a different modem and it made no difference. Didn't check imie but I am back on stock and the imie is the same as original.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Check your PMs :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Murdhie:
If my imie is changed by installation of Omega rom does that mean I have to back up my my esf before installation and then flash the esf back to the phone after installing the Omega rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Currently running 43.9, but did test 46.1 for more then week without any problems.

Before flashing the rom, I did a format of my internal sd.

What was your previous rom?

I also did do a restore of my apps with tb without problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NocNoc9595:
My previous rom was 46. I never had issues with 46. Where can I download v46? I don't see it in omega files. I guess if I can get my hands on 46..I will use that
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
You didn't have to. Was just a shot from my side because sometimes the strangest things happen without a reason. Just wanted to be sure it's correct. What rom you're using now? I mean what version and what's your current baseband version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Murdhie:
Stock rom 4.1.2 XXEMG4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
In Omega files under Mods and Statusbar toggle buttons you will find stock ones. To remove any theme in general, reflash rom with no wipe. Hope that helps.

Here is the torrent file for v46...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NocNoc9595:
Thanks for the v46. Just curious...can I put the rom on my external card...then while doing the wiping of user factory..cache..and dalvik

..perform a format of my internal sd card then install rom from my externl card? Will this cause any problems?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
I always do it like that and haven't had any problems so far. If anything happens you can still copy the rom to your internal memory. But it won't, I'm sure of it. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NocNoc9595:
Thanks for the reply..it won't delete the imei by doing a format of the internal sd card right?just making sure before I make the plunge...I've never done it before hehe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
IMEI is stored in efs folder (part of main root partition), which is separate from subordinate sdcard partition. Formating internal storage should not effect imei, but I advise you to create a backup nevertheless.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NocNoc9595:
Thanks MMWolverine, will do it.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

In recovery, where is the option to format the internal sd card? Format sdcard in mounts and storage seems to format the external card..do i need a separate app to do this? I thought I saw it somewhere before in recovery...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Royalfox:
Thanks for this, but what I really meant is to get rid of it going down, like sticking to the volume I set it.

Hey guys. Maybe this is the wrong thread but I don't want to create a new one in Q&A section for such a little question and I'm an old Omega user so I'll just post it here. So I'm curious about your opinion. Is it better to flash the stock firmware on which the ROM is based before flashing a new ROM or I can simply flash the ROM on top of any firmware no matter if it's not the one the ROM is based on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NadMaj:
the stock battery icons are only available for omega 4.2.2..

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

Does it matter if you install an Omega ROM from internal SD card or external SD card?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Not really, but if you do a format of your internal sd, all will be gone including the rom to flash when left on internal sd :).

And I must say that the last few month, I only Flash stuff from my external sd and without any issues.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ubimo:
I've downgraded from v46.1 to v43.9 (full wipe)

So none actually answered to my super easy question. When a new version of the ROM comes and is based on a new firmware, e. g. XXEMG5, do I need to flash a stock firmware XXEMG5 before flashing the ROM that is based on that firmware? Or full wipe is everything I need to prepare for a new versiom ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NadMaj:
no need to flash the stock base first..

no full wipe if coming from previous v43.x versions..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidh10:
i am on WanamLite v7.1(4.2.2). While I am extremely satisfied with the performance of the ROM in terms of speed and stability, the battery life is quite poor.

Can anyone tell me how the battery life of Omega's 46.1 is? The search function seems to be broken on xda.

I do not wanna switch back to 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:
Kind a hard to say, everybody is using there phone different.

What's important for one is rubbish for someone else.

But. ...

I have tested it for more then a week.

Battery was fair and in comparison with Omega 4.1.2 based roms, almost the same for me.

It needed just a little more juice, but when talking in numbers, let say you lose 1 to 5% on a full charge.

That was my experience anyway.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sidh10:
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. One of the best things about omega rom is the support.

With regards to my usage.. I am a moderately heavy user. My data is always on since I need email.

However my battery seems to drain a lot while even on standby. Will probably try Omega 46.1 out tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gspears:
It's not that you didn't get an answer, it's that it looks like you didn't get the detail you were looking for.

Basically what has been determined through many flashes is that going back to stock is not necessary when flashing a new rom. The important thing to remember is that if you are coming from a different base version to a newer base version such as 4.1.2 to 4.2 then you need to do a FULL wipe of all data and everything. If you are just going to a newer version of the same base, ie 4.1.2 to a newer version of 4.1.2 then you can just flash the rom directly over the old version and only need to clear cache and dalvik cache before flashing. I also recommend formatting the system partition when doing this.

Anyway, just read the flashing instructions of the rom you are flashing very carefully to make sure you understand what you are doing. Flashing, no matter how you do it is inherently dangerous to your device so be sure and read a lot and make sure you fully understand what you are doing.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MAX 404:

No you had to do a back up of efs before you flashed 43.9 ( or 43.8) due to a change in the efs structure that make it incompatible with older versions (43.7 and below ) , the main problem is that you could not use older modems ( imei errors) in the new versions to do so you need to back up your efs just in case you want to go back or use an older modem.....if that is not the case no need to back up the efs folder.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Samsung modified the modem.pit file in the firmwares used to make v43.8 and v43.9 so this means you can only flash the modems from these 2 roms between each other. If you try to flash any modem pre v43.8 it will not work and you will loose signal. In some cases it has caused a corrupt imei number. To flash any pre v43.8 modem you need to restore an old efs backup after flashing the rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ashutoshsinghy2k:
I flashed this rom Yesterday and after since m having a problem with charging . I put the phone on charge and after 2 hour is still 13 percentage. M on 4.2.2 and full wiped the data using original charging cable. How to solve this problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] albiGib:
The original cables are known to be... Crap. Change cable. I had this issue 3 days after buying my phone and have used my old HTC cables since then, without any problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Also get Galaxy Charging app .. it's free. Tells charging current, sometimes just unplugging and plunging does the trick or a reboot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Could just be a data issue in the battery stats. Re flashing as a non-wipe could fix the problem if you do it formatting system and data from mounts and storage first.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrimPivo:
Well, downgraded from 46.1 to 43.9, and was happy until took a look into Gallery.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeesStolk:

Cleared data of media scanner, gallery and reboot.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Format system too when you full wipe. The latest philz recovery is a good one but not required. Personal choice but I do find it to be a good match with Omega roms. Also for Omega themes from the first page it is needed to flash these themes.

I went from pure look 4.1.2 based to omega 46.1..I lost my phone signals..I did a complete wipe including data cache delvik and system. . What went wrong?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Check your imei number.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dratif:
And what then?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Check to see if it is still the same. If it is then it may be a modem issue and you can try flashing a different one.

If it has changed or disappeared then you will need to restore a backup of an efs folder that you should have. If you don't have one sometimes flashing stock firmwares can restore it but not often otherwise you will have to send it to the repair shop.

CRT-Off effect

Great ROM, I installed it for a friend. There's one question though, I installed 43.7, I assume it's not safe to flash 43.9 mods from Omega Files, right? I can't find the old CRT-Off effect for 43.7, I can only see mods for 43.9. Is there a way to get mods for older versions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Coming from a non Omega or a 4.1.2 version its the best thing to do. You shouldn't get that warning if you haven't installed any non-compatible mods though. If you want to try a non-wipe then format data and system before installing.
