I'm not being able to get Photosphere to work. I mean the patch from nexus camera. I flashed this file: http://d-h.st/qC6 The camera and gallery icons appear in the app drawer but when I open the camera app (the one with photosphere) the image is 100% black, only the shutter and mode buttons are shown and after few seconds "gallery has stopped" and FC. I'm asking this here because I know another user who successfully uses photosphere in Omega but in I9500. Does somebody know about this?

Fast report on v28

Dirty flash and all seems okej. No problem so far except the screen mirroring, tried with omega28 included kernel and then with KT kernel.

Haven't had the time for full wipe.. Work waiting..

Could be something wrong with my Internet /wifi, cuz get som msg that I got weak signals.

Will do a full wipe and restart the router and report later tonight.

Hello! I have a question regarding wifi and network signal. I am on old bootloader,as you can see in my signature, and XXUEMJ5 modem. Everything was fine in Omega v23, but after i installed Omega v26, i have random signal drop downs for wifi and for network. I tried some other modems and modem fixes, but it is either the same or even the phone freezes on the lockscreen and is super slow. Is there a modem that works well with the old bootloader other than the one that i have?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maroc1994:
hello,

it means you are still on the old bootloader. you must update your 4.4.2 bootloader.

if you want to stay on the old bootloader, you must change something in the build.prop, but i dont know what

True test is time of course, but everybody's phones are set up so differently, there are so many factors when it comes to battery consumption. But in general, I never have had a problem with Omega's roms, Ktoonsez' kernels and Greenified combination, so I don't expect anything different from v28.

Screen mirroring works, feels little bit slow than on omega26, but works like it should then it's connected.

I don't understand you, sorry, LOL. I don't think it's a bug, it's whatever the dev wants it to be, unless he doesn't know how to change them, he can choose what icon to show when you're connected to data 4G LTE and what to show when you're on 4G call, or if you lose connection, or if you're on 3G, or anything he wants. He can even make it so it show 3G when you're on 4G LTE for example, literally anything he chooses.

For the ppl private messaging me asking how to make the icons, it's simple, but a pain in the ass to explain. If you really want to learn, just figure out how to decompile/recompile apk's. Lots of tutorials on XDA, this is my first smartphone ever and been learning this stuff since May, '13, so if a noobster like me can do it, you certainly can. If you send me your systemui.apk, I will make them for you with whatever icons you want, except for att, so please stop pming me with dumb questions, thanks.

Go to sammobile like misk said. Always flash stock firmwares via Odin. You should read about KNOX first if you care about warranty, etc.

Just make a nandroid backup, dirty flash the newest version, see if you like it. If it doesn't stand up to your current rom, just restore it.

Screen lock issues

Hello everyone,

I was on v26, and decided to give this one a try. It seems that I can't change the screen lock to pattern (or anything for that matter, apart from swipe, PIN and password). I have already tried removing device admins and clearing credentials (as suggested in various Google search results) but nothing seems to change. Is there something I am missing, or a post that I can't find?

I noticed what I can’t here anything then I call someone and they call me. No dial sound, no voice sound.. Like mute.... Someone with same issue or a solution?

edit:

First then I played spotify there where no sound in speakers only in earphones... Then I lower the volume it came sound through speakers as well.. The notification sound work as it should.

Edit : just a simple reboot fixed it.

Weird but now it's seems to work.

I think I got the right modem for Sweden, Telia. But maybe another for 4.4.2 rom. If I haven't looked and get it right.

But then I swith the volume up.. From zero To max the sound stuttering and sometimes mute, then the level goes from half bar to max.
