[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ianofaraby:
I consider myself to be a noob, but after reading many, many posts, I have came to the conclusion that people can't follow instructions or fail to understand basic English!

I have flashed various Omega roms over the months and have came across many problems. Fortunately (so far) the answers have ALWAYS been here in the thread.

I just thought that I would share my install procedure in case it can help even 1 person.

I am a Vodafone UK user.

1. Make a nandroid backup in recovery (I use TWRP 2.5.0.0) and save to external SD card, (just in case).

2. Make a titanium backup of all user apps. I then copy and paste the titanium folder to my external SD card, (just in case!)

3. I also have a copy of Mobile Odin Pro v3.76 on my external SD card for later use. (I know it has been warned that mobile Odin can cause issues but I have not experienced any).

4. Download Omega v.10 and the LTE modem tar file from the installation guide and copy to external SD card.

5. Boot into custom recovery (TWRP) and select install. Navigate to Omega and select. I usually select full wipe in Aroma. Wait for installer to complete and reboot.

6. Phone boots up after 2-3 minutes (sometimes longer).

7. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART. If coming from a different Rom base (example MGA to MH1), my wifi WILL NOT WORK.

8. Complete the phone setup procedure and verify the Rom is functioning. Don't worry about wifi yet.

9. I then use a file explorer (I use Root Explorer which I have to download over 3g from playstore) to navigate to Mobile Odin on my external SD card.

10. Install Mobile Odin so I can flash LTE modem.

11. Open Mobile Odin. Scroll down to open file/zip/tar option and select. Select external SD card and navigate to location of LTE modem tar that you downloaded earlier.

12. This will now have auto filled the modem option.

13. Scroll down to flash firmware and select. My phone then shuts down and reboots to a big green android and a downloading message.

14. On this screen, hold the power off button for at least 10 seconds. The phone powers down and reboots to a blue android and starts the modem flash procedure. When complete, the phone reboots.

15. I then navigate to switch on my wifi and connect.

I realise this is a long winded set of instructions, but it has never failed me yet. I never concern myself about which baseband version I am on as my signal works as it is. Currently my baseband is MGA and my build is MH1 but who cares, it works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I honestly don't think you're a noob anymore, at least not according to my definition :good:

Only remark, point 7 off your instruction should say "Rom base", as baseband is something different.

I've searched Google and these forums to try and find a solution my problem, the following app;

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

I loved this keyboard however i can't add any custom words now. I even factory reset my phone to see if this would work. It doesn't. I'm on my s4 (i9505) and prefer it to stock keyboard. Any ideas how I can get it to work? Or what I could change. No custom words will be saved. At all! Slightly annoying!

Thanks

Than the MG4 is the most recent ... folowing that logic :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lzk123:
Some carrier have slower updates. Higher changelist usually means newer and more updates added to the firmware.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zencooler:
Be sure your firmware version is also MH1 as the LTE modem must be exactly the same!

Also you should flash that modem vis ODIN as phone (not PDA) and only after the phone is started into download mode manually (not via restart).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mevorach:
Don't bother your self with the way everybody telling you how to fix it , it won't work !!! If you want it to work with the stock kernal ,

you have to flash this modem first with odin phone (you can go to download mode any way you want !!! ) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490001569

and then flash omega v10 again

Hi Kantjer I'am looking for your option, but it seems fore me a bit tricky. I do the following I change my Baseband version (it was XXUBMH1) And i change it to XXUBMF8. I see you having to. And now I see in my settings Mobile networks> Network mode the option LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I go try it tommorow when i go to Amsterdam.:good:

How do you understand about Odin, Download Mode, recovery etc ?

These are "must" knowledge to flash ROM.

In case you understand these, please read Installation Guide by Indie.

If not, you have to learn much more.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ecbr:
yeah I understand about the download mode and recovery on while this does not need to worry.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] woosie:

Long time since I experienced any bug on omega rom...

This V10 sometimes (3 times a day to say) I experience a short freeze something between a lag and a freeze... Most comom when using default browser.

Other times it occurred after reactivate the S4 from sleep and quickly tried to open what's app...

Had 2 spontaneous reboot in the last four days...

Someone else with problems?

But the battery increased about 9% from V9, what's welcome!

Tnx again for the best S4's rom Indie!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ajwconsult:
Since the installation of V10, I can confirm I have has 2 unrelated reboots, phone was just in pocket and not been used at the time.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nickmax1:
I am getting random reboots as well, maybe one every other day.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] okty2k:
I didn't get any reboots.

However, from time to time I get some short lag/freeze while using Chrome. I think that was connected to the kernel (ausdim). Once I did a fresh install (full wipe and kernel on top), it disappeared. That is not Omega's fault, however.

Otherwise, I think that Omega is as good as ever. :)

(no improve in battery life, but I am a heavy user, so I guess it is normal)

Hi all OMEGIANS :)

I would just like to tell my story about comming from V9 to V10..

I read so many posts about problems with wifi and sd cards ect..

I would just like to say that for some reason, everything works for me after flashing from V9 o V10 full wipe..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stijndebruin:
If it worked before make sure the fault is not with your provider. If that's not the case check your apn settings.

There is no point in posting these things if you are running non stock kernels or mods. Nothing [MENTION=2576548]::indie::[/MENTION] or anybody else can help you with. If you are experiencing reboots or any other strange issue start with a clean install of the ROM and stay with the stock kernel and do not flash any mods.

Thats why I didnt post here the last kmsg but in the kernel thread. But if users get rendom reboots, why not post a post to the post, maybe someone will take a look :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Don't do that. You may brick your phone. Everything must go in its place. Make sure you place it in phone but before that it is important that you have entered download mode not by restarting but first power off and manually enter download mode. If it doesn't work try two consequent flashes.

Also it's important that you place the tar file there not the extracted bin file.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fr3quency:
The truth is that i didn't try 2 times from phone section,yes i did it from download mode.

I'll give a try later odin settings-auto reboot,f reset time are checked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Headless96:
Omega v10 is rather excellent! No random reboots or Chrome crashes like some people are reporting and the wifi fix in the 4th post did work for me :laugh:

Decided to stick with stock for this version to see how good battery life is and tbh it's really good :D I attached my battery stats here.

These are with all stock settings except underclocked a bit to 1.7ghz to reduce heat and that's it

If your wondering about usage, this is actually one of the first times I didn't really act like I was on a battery test and used the phone completely how I would use it as if I've settled in to a rom

I used the wifi practically the whole time screen was on and switched it off when not using it as it's quite a drainer when the screen's off. Watched about an hour of videos, half an hour of music, half an hour of gaming and the rest either browsing the web, going on Facebook or Whatsapp and checking the XDA forums. And the whole time it was around 20-50% brightness occasionally higher when outdoors.

Read the instruction from Indie, when you do that there are no problems. Butt people not want to read, the only thing they want to do is flash a rom. I think it's better to stay on the original samsung rom, because then there are no problems at all.

I don't understand all of these problems. Before I came to this great Rom, I had a soft bricked phone because of flashing a recovery over mobile odin (I did nothing wrong, mobile odin was the problem).

Therefore I had to flash an original Rom with normal odin. After that my extSD was not working :(

So I decided to flash Omega Rom. After that extSD was working, but unfortunately Wifi not. Like suggested I flashed Wifi fix and now.... everything is super!

Btw I am on original kernel and without any mods.

Best advice is to flash one of DjEmbeys stock rooted deodexed ROMs and get wifi working... Once wifi is working then flash Omega V10 and make sure you still have wifi... If so you can start doing other things and pinpoint where your troubles were
