Emulated storage is the internal memory of your phone (e.g. 16, 32 or 64 Gb).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diddly3000:
Thanks. I deleted backups from Cwm and it freed up space. It was stored in a shell folder. Weird?

I set option in rom manager to use external sd card where possible for backups . Ran the backup and checked storage when finished and phone memory wasn't touched :)

Thanks everyone who gave me some proper pointers ;)

Thanks for the info. I think that when more kernels will be available for it the battery life will increase. Will you stay on this or revert back to TW ROM?

Also, is everything working fine on Omega 2? Are the any camera problems or something else broken?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tunatje:
I hope so. For me it's the best rom at the moment. It's stable, fast & bug free. Haven't noticed fc or what so ever. I'm sticking with this one!

Only annoyinh part is the grids of the homescreen. Right now it's 4x4 but 5x4 is prettier. I removed the google searchbar(disabled google search in Apps) and got a big gap between the statusbar and my upper widget. Hope that there are modders who can mod the launcher :D.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

No, you said try custom kernel. I was asking which kernel would you recommend ;)

But surely kernel has nothing to do with my problem because wouldn't omega rom flash it's own kernel to work with the rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
You can try with Mobile Odin.

if i followed op instructions i would have noticed it said:

I finally got WiFi working. I tried about 20 times with Odin in the past and it never worked..

Here is how I did it....

Turn PC on and off, then select new USB port.

Also, make sure USB debugging is turned on in phone before turning it off.

Eventually realised I wasnt pulling the battery before going into download mode. So this time pulled battery for 15 seconds. Then restart into download (Vol down and power button)

Then opened odin 3.07. Unticked auto reboot but ticked f reset time.

tar file for the LTE modem into phone section.

Plugged usb into pc and then into phone.

Odin 3.07 com port shows blue... BUT... still Waited 3-4 minutes while the drivers fully loaded onto PC in the back ground.

Clicked start in Odin. Seemed to flash quite fast and it had the word reset or similar up above the com port. It looked like it was finished but I noticed in the message section that part way down it said wait 2 minutes. I waited 3 min and then even though it looked like nothing was going on, all of a sudden it said PASS up above the com port.

Yeeeharrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was done.

Unplug USB. Hold power key down for 10-12 sec and it will reboot.

Wifi working!

Hi

I was a loyal user for Omega roms, used it on S2 and the S3, but it seems the S4 ver has dropped some fetures like:

Omega settings

4 way rotation

The ability to control/choose notification icons.

I couldn't find them in Omega files, and wondering if they going to be imported on the next updates?

Cuz those the most things I like about this ROM.

Thanks.

No bricks. Both guys recovered their phone one of them with Adams help. One was very rude but I saw him posting later with his s4 so he recovered it too.

I love the fact that we have download mode and odin. You can ****ed up rom and recovery but as long as you can enter download mode al is salvageable.

Your problem was Odin. I have 3 laptops, Odin 3.07 work fine only in one laptop. Odin 3.04 sometimes remain blocked on checkind tar file, Odin 3.07 aparently run the entire process, but no "PASS" confirmation message...so I presume that it remain stuck some where...

On the other hand, Odin 0.85 never fails. Every time it works just perfect, and finish in a shorter time.

Install and encrypted Device

URGENT HELP NEEDED

Hi,

I was using Omega v7.0 on a I9595, but upgraded to v9.0.

BUT my data (or the device) were encrypted!!

After Install (even with full wipe) the device is asking during boot for password.

But after the input it fails to start normally and reboots after a while (Omega will not start).

I have a full backup of my data (Titanium Backup), so I do not care about the data.

Therefore I tried to format the sd-card, but it fails as well (PhillZ).

Attached some screens from the device.

HOW I CAN FORMAT THE DEVICE (or sdcard/user data partition).

Any thoughts? Thanks for any advice...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stijndebruin:
Try factory reset. If all else fail use odin to flash a stock rom and go from there.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jochenthomas:
Sorry,

to ask again.

As you can see mounting is the faulty process (PhilZ factory reset): "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure" (first screenshot)

Formatting was not possible therefore

EDIT: Now, after some trials I was luckily able to format even data (see second screen-picture), BUT even in this case (user data should be gone now) the request to type in the passphrase remains.

I am a little bit confused now: Why the phone is still asking about passphrase even if the data parition is formated????

How to go forward now???????

[MENTION=3262695]stijndebruin[/MENTION] will "djembey rooted stock" help here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stijndebruin:
Not sure, but I don't think so. Another thing you could do is repartition with odin using a pit file. This is dangerous though, you have to be 100% sure it's the right pit file for your device, but this should work as it will remove and recreate the partitions on internal sd.

I will do a search for it, maybe you can too and we see what we come up with.

Hey many thanks - I have changed the previous post a little bit as I was able now to format - but without result.

Yes - this seems to be a more reasonable method, because if you access via Odin it should give more power as from the device itself... Thanks in advance.

Good luck man. It's a ****ty situation your in, but I like your calm attitude. I'm sure with some help you'll manage. That's part of the xda community!

[MENTION=3262695]stijndebruin[/MENTION] Thanks for your help again.

Here my short trial an error procedure (Update Omega ROM with encrypted data partition):

- install new ROM // even with correct password it will not boot

- PhilZ - recovery // not possible

- PhilZ - format data // error - mouning data not possible

- PhilZ - with some playing formating works // but still Passphrase request :(

- ODIN - flash PIT file allone / works well, but no result

- ODIN - flash Orginal Samsung ROM / all fine - but again Password request

- ODIN - combine both // still requesting Passphrase (I am a little bit nervous)

- boot into

Original

Recovy - Factory Reset // SUCCESS !!!

- AGAIN flash latest Omega ROM

So if you have trouble with encrypted device my recomendation:

- before flashing an ROM decrypt your data partition

- if too late, flash Original ROM and do Factory Reset in Recovery Mode

Puh....

At least I got it running again :)

Do you have an original factory made microsim or did you cut one yourself out of a regular sim?

If you have a self-made microsim, there is your problem.

Modems don't generally change with rom flashing. Flashing the wrong radio is a good way to eff up a phone.
