Hi mate,

here you can find all kernels for the S3 (ASOP and Sammy)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317897

you can find "your" best kernel by try out.

every user has another phone so it is difficult to say which is the best kernel

I prefer the Googy-Max Kernel for dualboot

but this is my opinion and if you dont need dual boot at time the Stock Kernel is the best for me. He have a very good battery safe and works great.

many regards and

happy flashing

Very good job!

With which S3 kernel you suggest to use this ROM? Stock one, Temasek or something else?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Best is to find it or by yourself because everyone got different needs and expect different things from a kernel.

Bluetooth issue

A long time has passed since I posted this issue, but I'm posting again as this is not solved and I do not want to move to another rom but this started to frustrate me. During a call if I turn of the bluetooth and decide to resume the call from earpiece or speaker I cannot hear the other end but then can hear me.

In addition I found out that if I'm capturing a video in a noisy environment, distortion is heard later when the video is played.

Any one else have the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks

Hi mate,

only one question

did you try the new v8.1 Rom from "indie"?

many regards and

happy flashing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
I'm not quite sure but the distortion issue could be kernel related also the Bluetooth issue I think it's a issue of aokp/cm roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi Chris,

yes the issue was in the past but it was fixed with the new milestone 2.

I have no probs with my bluetooth earphone. If i hear music and a call is coming in the music stops and i can speek normally with my calller. Also the other way, if i want to make a call, i go to my contacts and if i push the number the music goes and the ringtone comes. I use the Sony Ericsson HBH-PV740 headset.

and to the question from "rmetanes" AOKP supports no video-calling, its a Stock Rom stuff. And MMS works for me, but i use the Handsent App

I'd like to know this too. The only way a've found to kill the "Charging LED", is by using Lightflow. This app has a "Root" mode where you can disable this. This is an issue with AOKP and AOSP roms. CM has this thingy build in.

Does this ROM change the efs structure? I am currently still on the old format since I like the leaked 4.2 Touchwiz builds. I want to try this ROM but I don't wanna screw up my IMEI even though I have a backup. Can I switch to this and then back to Omega 46.1(4.2.2 TW)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Yes you can. You might only get problems if you coming from a newer 4.1.2 rom. What I mean is it don't change your efs.

Not charging

Hi guys,

Few days ago I did a full wipe and installed Omega 8.1 AOKP JB milestone-2. All works fine but battery is charging very slow or not charging at all.

I tried stock charger, stock charger from SGS2 and USB cable connected to computer and car charger. All the same results.

This night phone was connected to charger and charged only a few %.

LED is yellow / red and top icon is showing charging when it's connected to any charger.

Moreover, one time car charger charged fully. So the problem doesn't exist always but mostly.

Any ideas?

Anyone is having issues with wifi? It seems that on v8.1 the connection is unstable... Sometimes I need to restart download process many times and I'm getting errors that the phone is unable to establish stable connection to the server. Anytime I'm enabling wifi it keeps connecting and disconnecting around 2, 3 times before it reports it is connected... I have checked and I can connect to servers fine on 3g but after switching back to wifi my issues are back... I used to use stock roms, temasek's rom, CM and Omega AOKP starting from v6 and I have never had similar issues. Additionally I have tested it in few places so it is not related to specific AP...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

no i haven't had this issue on milestone 1 and 2.

try to set another channel on your rooter and flash the Rom again with full wipe. If the Rom installing ready wait 3-5 minutes and make no downloads then reboot. After then the Wifi is stable.

You also can try a third party app from the play store. There are many of Apps so you must read the App description exactly. I personally use

the Wifi High Performance App

hope this will help

Feed back

Here's my feedback for my first days of use of Omega 8.1

Performances

I come from the Samsung based Omega ROM. This ROM was a good rom stable & good battery life time,

but the resposiveness was not good enough for me : I had to wait for 1 or more seconds to get the contacts app appears (I've got a lot of contacts from Exchange and some from gmail)

I decided to give a try to an AOKP and it's a way better.

Battery

After one day of work use on the Samsung Omega version 43.7 I was at ~ 50-60%

On the AOKP I'm at 30% but I need some more days to confirm the results.

From a usage point of view

I replaced the Phone Dialer with ExDialer and the SMS app with Handcent cause the AOKP ones are not very sexy.

Works fine for my main usage : Phone/Exchange/gmail/google +

MMS

I think's it's a problem with all AOKP/Cyanogen roms .

MMS needs the 3D/Data to be activated to work. (sames with stock or handcent sms)

You can't send / receive MMS while you are on wifi (or if you turn off Data).

It's Ok on stock Roms.

I had the same on an HTC desire Cyanogen ROM). But I couldn't find a thread with serious argumented answers on this problem. (some people replace the MMS.apk with another one).

My Network is Orange France.

My APN seems ok as I can send MMS while Data is active.

Encoutered problems

The first day I had a problem with battery drain (was at 45 % after one night load ...). I reboot in recovery and wipe cache. The problem disapeared don't know why.

The second day I had two problems :

* I could'nt hear the caller (same when I was the caller) until I reboot the phone

* I had to reboot twice cause I had no more 3g data

At the end of the day I noticed that my baseband version was an old one (different from the one on the screenshots but can't remember precisely wich one).

* I rebooted in recovery do a nandbackup

* Installed the Samsung version of Omega (46.1/XXUFME7)

* Do some stuff

* Reboot in recovery restored the backup

And now my baseband version is I93000XXUFME7 !!!

... and everything was fine for the third day of use.

Is it normal to have a different baseband, I thought it was inside the ROM ?

NB : I used titanium to restore my apps & datas. It can explains some of my problems.

Conlusion

I'm glad to use an AOKP version :)

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

many thanks for your great report.

Yes the MMS problem is a known issue in AOKP/CM Roms.

And my baseband is MG2 the baseband of Omega Rom v47.

Every time I flash AOKP I have the baseband from the last Rom I have used. So I think it's normally.

thanks again and

happy flashing

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cinciopillo:
You're right.

I solved using Tasker.

I've created a rule that everytime I run the SMS app:

- checks data activation status and save it in a variabile

- set data on

- when exiting the SMS app, it restores data activation status as it was before
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MisterKanister:
Hi,

I must say, I WOULD be very happy with the Omega AOKP Rom, but I am experiencing a really weird issue :(

I have some folders with pictures on my ext. SD card, but my apps can not create thumbnails/get stuck with certain images (where certain images means a lot of images...).

So this means, QuickPic for example won't create thumbs and won't open most images and sort of gets stuck. Same applies to the image preview of Root Explorer and others...

I don't know why or which images are affected, it works for some, for others it doesn't...

This does not happen for the Samsung Omega ROMs (I had the last version Omega 46 running with no such problems), and it does not happen in the latest Slimbean AOSP ROM. Just here in Omega AOKP.

I tried everything I know to fix this, cache cleaning, permission fix, etc., but no success.

This is my second clean install with prior full wipe etc. of Omega AOKP 8.1, and the second time that I have this issue.

No one else having these image related problems? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gimmick56:
Hi mate,

first of all what format is your ext.SD card

some roms/kernels don´t read exfat format and you must format your card to fat32

Did you flash another Kernel?

If yes you have a look into the Kernel thread first side (OP) for the format of the SD card

but here is a very good thread for read to this problem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30446422#post30446422

maybe this will help

many regards and happy flashing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MisterKanister:
My card is FAT32 formatted (32Gb) and I have no custom Kernel running.

That's why access to my SD card and files is possible and everything, it's just that image problem :eek:

Thanks for the link, I looked into it, but it's not exactly my kind of problem :-/

To sum it up:

- SOME images can't be shown, image preview/thumbnail gets stuck or creates a distorted green/pink thumbnail preview

- These pictures can't be opened to be viewed

- Other pictures work/show normally

- This happens to stock gallery, QuickPic and every other image related app

- This happens only in Omega AOKP 8.1, other ROMS handle them just fine - so no corrupt files

- THIS IS STRANGE
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MisterKanister:
So, I changed the Rom (again... :silly:) to Slimbean AOSP 4.2.2 and it's working again.

There seems to be "definitely" something wrong in Omega 8.1 :angel:

Hey. Can anyone tell me how the battery life on this rom is? I am using Omega 46.1 which I have been reluctant to move away from becsuses it's exceptionally smooth and I love the Samsung camera. However the battery life is bad.

I am guessing speed wise this even trumps Omega 46.1(4.2.2) but I really need better battery life.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chris_84:
Sorry to say but cm/aokp roms are known to have not the best battery life. If you want good one and also love samsung cam I think the best for you is to stick with Sammy based rom like omega 46.1. I'm also on it and don't recognized any problem or whatever.

No custom kernel this time was on latest syiah with version 8 so updated to 8.1 with the kernel it came with now the problems back. I will see how it goes tonight with a battery tool controlling the charging the app should allow the screen to stay. That dev setting isn't working either.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MisterKanister:
Well, indirectly, I think :p

I tried quite a lot: Cleaning data, app caches, cleaning with SD Maid (--> which cleans *.thumbnail files and other clutter), deleting .nomedia files, moved the pics to PC and back to the SD card, fix permissions, ...

What IS strange though... no offense to the Omega Rom... but you'd have to admit it is strange, is:

- I install the Omega AOKP Rom and I see this problem for the first time in my entire Android career (and in the past I used a lot of different Omega ROMs, just not the AOKP ones)

- I try a lot to fix this issue, no success

- I install another Rom: Everything works again, all pix there and showing. I think to myself "Hey, fine, it's fixed ^^!"

- I flash Omega again: Problem is back

- I flash another Rom again: Problem disappeared again *wtf*

OK, but if no one other is experiencing the same, then it has to be something on my (phone's) side... whatever it is... :p

Anyway, for now it doesn't matter, I will try the next Omega release and see if my problem reoccurs :cool:
