Hi Guys,

I just want to say that this 4.4.2 AOKP Rom is without any doubt the best ROM I ever tested since I have my Galaxy S3 !

I have installed it on a friend's phone and same for him, he discovers a new S3 ! I'm sure many of us have experienced the few lags and regular fc, such as after quitting an app, all the icons of the homes suddenly disappear for couple seconds. Looks something quite typical on the Samsung based Roms.

Well that ROM is so snappy, more over if you change the Java engine from Dalvik cache to ART, it's really another phone ! Mostly all the apps are now compatible with ART.

I had minor few issues finding the correct Recovery that works with it (TWRP) even if I tried with latest Philz Touch based on CWM.

Google Agenda needed to be downloaded again.

Often I see "Exchanges Services" that crashes. Anybody has an idea of what that is ?

At last, did anyone noticed that the V16 wasn't as rapid as the V.15 or is it maybe due to the fact that I have flashed the V16 on the V15, without any wipes... Advices are welcome.

Again Good Job Omega and CyanogenMod !

I had the same problem, try to flash another recovery such as TWRP (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/i9300/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-i9300.img).

Wipes all what you can, except your external sd card. Please be sure to have backed up all your datas before playing with your phone.

Bonne Chance....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

first many thanks for your wishes

but i think you mean AOKP not cm.

For the TWRP recovery download the 2.6.3.1 .tar file. You can flash it with PC Odin or mobile Odin version.

And for the speed you can wipe cache and dalvic in the recovery.

That will help a bit. If you get more problems do a full wipe.

Please make a backup before.

Hope this will help a bit.

And for the problem with exchange clear the data there in settings/APP control. I don't use a exchange account so i can't say anything more to your problem.

many regards and happy flashing

EDIT

For more speed you also can try the Googy-max Kernel. My phone works like a formula one car

hi, how can i use the navigation ring and the navigation bar?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gravityz3r0:
My phone is damn weird.

I'm trying to update to AOKP v16 from Omega v54.

1) Updated to CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.6 and also TWRP (after failing to install on CWM)

2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset (Tried format the internal sdcard as well)

3) Installed Omega v16 AOKP, no error, all success.

Extra) Wipe Data/Factory Reset again (after failure on few test just to check it's working or not)

4) Reboot

5) Robot animation came out, but that's it, robot keep moving and moving and moving for next 5 minutes, and still moving.

Retried the method above many times, same result.

So I tried CM roms too just to be sure it's my phone causing the issue.

Did about the same as above.

Boot into CM animation, and just permanently at the animation as the Omega issues.

So, I've restore back full backup for my Omega v54 and it work flawlessly. Does my phone hate Kit Kat? :(

Extra info : Noticed that I keep getting the error "Unable to mount /preload" , not sure whether that's the cause or not.

Hi gimmick56,

Your welcome, I really enjoy Omega's Rom since I bought my first android device and really, this ROM is the fastest above all the ones I tried.

Regarding TWRP, I did flash it with Mobile Odin but something went wrong when I restarted in recovery. I guess the file was corrupted. So as I am on mac, flashing from Odin with parallel desktop is quite chunky and not so successful as my device wasn't recognized. Any I solved the issue with Heimdall-Frontend.

Regarding the Service exchange service that keeps on crashing, I don't use the yellow and white envelope app either (com.android.emailversion 4.4.2-eng.indie...) as I am only using Gmail app. However I still get often this message. Weirdly, a month and half ago I had a non-rooted Nexus and had the same issue. It's maybe something with Kitkat and my configuration of apps...

Actually I frizzed it with TB as much as the built-in calendar app, is this could be the source of the problem ? or the use of ART ?

Also, do you know if the Boot animation folder is unchanged since 4.1.2 as I have an animation that I'd really like to flash.

At last and regarding the speed, I have done the cahe and dalvik wipes and it seems much better.

Many Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

great to read with the recovery. I read a lot of Heimdal but i haven´t try it. I will test this method for flashing asap.

Now to the exchange folder, normally there will be no problem with freeze this but AOKP is in experimental status with all KitKat Roms so there are many problems at moment ART included. The calendar problem is solved in v16.

For the bootanimation i use the xposed framework and XBlast module. If you have a .zip file, extract this file with a root explorer and open the Xblast module. Go to visual tweeks, there you find the Custom bootanimation. Open it and push on own bootanimation. In the popup open your extacted folder with your root explorer and go to system/media in media normally you will find the bootanimation.zip - Push to apply and it works.

Do not try to flash the zip file through recovery, you get bootloops

It is not as difficult as it is here, with a bit of exercise, it is very fast to do.

BUT AS ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP

A lot of fun with your new boot animation

many regards and happy flashing

Help ,Ive been using this ROM for weeks and its PERFECT , but I installed a custom battery from omega app and now lost the top completely , even tried reinstalling stock mod but nothing changed? :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

all from Omega Files are only for Stock Samsung based Roms and not for AOKP. If you open Omega files for S3 you see that there is no AOKP Rom included.

see opening post

Omega Files Free and Pro do not include support and repo for Omega AOKP!

Flash the Rom again with wipe cache and dalvic. For theming you can use any cm11 the here in XDA and Play Store. Also you can use xposed framework with Xblast module or GravityBox. All links are posted in the thread.

Hi mate

again the right installing routine if you come from Sammy or other Rom (from Omega v15 or 15.1 you only need to wipe cache and dalvic)

1. download the Rom

2. put the downloaded Rom on your extSD

3. flash TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1.tar file with PC Odin

4. after reboot go again to the recoverey modus

5. push wipe and then advanced wipe

6. set dalvic cache, cache, system, data and internal storage there

7. swipe to wipe

8. push the back button until you see "Install" and install the Rom from your folder

9. in Aroma Installer "tick efs backup and full wipe" to on

10. set your wanted Apps there and install the Rom

the installing routine will take some time

This is what i have done if i come from Omega v54 and again, i have had no problems

A factory reset is not enogh if you come from 4.3 Roms

Hi Gimmick,

thx for these precision it's easy to understand you, don't worry. I have downloaded Xposed framework and Xblast and it looks very cool with a lot of customization :D

Unfortunately, I have few problems following your instructions because I don't have the permission to write in the system folder despite the fact that I am rooted and the root function is enabled in Es Explorer. I tried changing the permissions and the owner (root) of the folder but not allowed.

Another question comes when I see that my zip file has a structure of Meta-inf+Data type whereas the built in animation has a structure of "Part 0" and "Part 1" folders. Would this be the reason ?

Finally, when I chose the custom zip file from Xblast, I get an error message saying it can't read it and when i press on the button apply, Xblast crashes. I guess it's quite normal if it can't write in System folder....

Need your lights here.

Best
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
mmhh, i don´t use ES anytime so i can´t say nothing about this one.

I use this explorer in pro version, but the free works also, it´s very easy to use and works great

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer

There you can set the mount r/w directly for all files only push mount to r/w in the top of.

With the explorer you only make a long press to the .zip file. In the next popup you can see a lot of things what you can do, use extract the file.

You will see the running extaction and at the end comes a popup with "go to the extracted file or stay". Go to the extracted file and open it.

You must see 1. Meta-inf and 2. system, open system, you see media open it. There you will see the bootanimation zip. (speedsoftware foler in int. sd card)

This is the file you must use with XBlast. Still wait a few seconds if you see the old animation push choose than in the follow popup root explorer and go to speedsoftware/extracted files and so on. Still wait if you see the new one and push apply.

So you do not see anything if i post here, please make a picture from what you see in the comlpedly open bootanimation file.

Hope this will help you. Sorry if i post a bit comlicated, my english is not the best one (terrible as hell)

happy flashing

Hi Gimmick,

I have the same thing happening to me. Actually my photos are blurred only if I force the focus by taping one time on the screen . however if I leave the camera to adapt the focus by itself, then in get a clear image.

Doing a Dalvik wipe changes indeed the response time :good:. However, I'm wondering if I use ART, does a Dalvik wipe still enhance the general behavior of my phone ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] digezter:
Before i installed this rom, i already wipe data cache and dalvic cache...

Is that in sys > cameradata ??

Before this i use Omega V.54 and my camera looks normal but after i use omega V.16 it's got blurred :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
A good idea is to manually format system also. It gets formatted anyway when you install the ROM but a manual format helps make it an even cleaner one cleaning up all left over system data properly.

How to toggle NavBar on?

I can see the option of navigation bar in ROM control, even customise the buttons, but I don't see any option to toggle it on. The settings page is blank. Running v17.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewilley:
I'm still running Omega v8.1 JB (still working fine by the way!) as I didn't want the hassle of a complete re-install of everything when I've got the phone working just as I wanted it to.

However as my kernel (Googy-Max) supports dual boot, I thought I'd try putting KitKat (Omega v17) in as a second boot, which I could set up as time allows. Is there anything that I should be wary of which might cause me problems on my primary system? (The dual-boot recovery is based on CWM 6.0.2.7, in case that makes a difference). I assume I don't need to wipe anything before I start, as I'e never put anything in the 2nd ROM system so it should be clean already. Nothing on my internal memory for the first boot system should be affected, right?

Andre
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
If you have Philz recovery you go to Mounts and Storage and format system. If you have TWRP when you select the wipe option you select Advanced and then tick cache,data,system and wipe all 3 at once.

If you are having camera issues the use Titanium Backup and wipe the data for the camera and gallery first and see if that works.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

I have the same and had the same on v16 too. Also immersive mode doesnt work for me either.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

V8.1 is an older ROM and firmware so you need a full wipe to flash v17 cos its 4.4.2 which has firmware and system changes. This version wont flash with older recoverys either so you need CWM 6.0.3.2 or TWRP v2.6.3.1 too. Its recommended to format your internalSD also since it changes the SD partition.

Its best to full wipe coming to 4.4.2 to avoid FCs and system bugs mate so its best to just find the time to do it to avoid issues later on.

I am currently running Omega V15. Since I installed this ROM I have no possibility to check my Gmail Calendar.

There was a problem but it was sorted in v16, I would get v17 as it works, or read a few pages back and see the solution there:rolleyes:

Peace
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewilley:
But surely the whole point of a dual-boot kernel is to have a new ROM be able to run side by side, in parallel, with an old one (well, not exactly old, 8.1 was released 13-Aug, so about five months old) with both ROMs having their own separate environment that does not impact on the other. Like a Linux/Windows dual boot PC, or an Android/Windows8 tablet. Or have I missed the point?

Andre
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
If the kernel you want to use supports 4.4.2 then theres no problem in using it to dual boot if it supports that feature but v8.1 was 4.2.2 and v17 is 4.4.2 so there are various changes between then and now so at least a full wipe would a good idea. Its not really a kernel issue if that kernel has been updated to support the latest 4.4.2 firmwares and dual boot its more of whats happened between 4.2.2 and now with 4.4.2.

To be honest I think the SD partition is ok so you might not need to format it. As long as you have the 0 and legacy partitions you'll be fine mate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewilley:
I'm using the latest Googy-Max dual-boot kernel, which I believe other people have been using with KitKat ROMs. And yes, I do have the 0 and legacy folders already (they came into play with the newer JB ROMs I think).

However I don't want to risk any issues with my phone, so I may hold back until I hear of someone who has already done this successfully (although I guess it wouldn't take long to nandroid back again if I need to). Or I might just wait for the S5 to come out in a few months... Decisions decisions... :)
