I finally ordered a glass screen protector for my phone it came today and just installed it now. It looks fabulous except for an imperfection at the top right of the of the phone where it seems to not properly have contact. It bugs me but the viewable portion of the screen looks great. Im going to see if heat maybe can correct the issue but I honestly dont know. I had the same issue with the protector that was on before it didn't quite adhere to the glass so it kind of just stuck up a little. Now im wondering if its a slight imperfection of the glass on my phone. If the heat idea doesn't work ill just deal with it for now. I'm including some pics to help illustrate. Overall I'm satisfied it looks way better than with the old protector that was pretty beat up.

I purchased it off ebay for $25 shipped ordered Friday and arrived Tuesday from California to Connecticut.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimi_pooh:
solaris I have the same one and I've been rocking it for about a month no complaints....I also have a few imperfections on the top corners, but overall I'm satisfied.
[LG Optimus G Pro] solaris2k:
Update!

I ran paranoid android daydream for a little bit to heat up the glass some and pushed down on the bubble and it's completely gone now it looks absolutely gorgeous and my new personal best for screen protector installs :D idk if the heat actually helped or not but it looks sweet either way and totally pleased so far.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimi_pooh:
I'll try that too and report back. Thanks. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirProudNoob:
Something I've noticed is that I slowly become frustrated with whatever rom I'm on, be it cyanogenmod or liquidsmooth, cleanrom, etc. But as soon as I flash back to stock, I remember all the things I didn't like with stock, and want to flash back.

Where is the sweet spot? I find myself jumping back and forth, getting frustrated and tired no matter what rom I'm on. It could just be a personal problem :silly:

But I'm still kinda hoping for answers. For all the people out there who aren't modders, or devs, or who just barely know what they're doing: how do you survive with all the choices, where there's so many unique options of so many devs hard work (each with their own frustrations)? How do you choose?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Just a heads up, this thread is going to get shut down quickly, so I'm just going to lead you in the direction I think you want to go. There is no "sweet spot".

AOSP is made for many phones, and because of that fact you're going to miss a lot of features you're going to get from touchwiz that makes the s3 unique. It's fast, smooth, and debloated. Nice experience, but not for everybody.

Touchwiz has a range of different kinds of roms. You have heavily modded ones and some that are as bare as possible. These run drastically different on people's devices, and because of this fact you're going to get people swearing that their rom of choice is the best. However, just because a rom runs perfectly on someone's device, you might not have the same experience.

You choose by looking at the features you want and comparing them to the roms. If you want a heavily modded interface then roms like hyperdrive, goodness or jellybeans would be a good choice. If you want a more bare bones rom then bonestock, CleanROM, or tkrom would be solid choices. If you want a completely debloated experience, then aosp would be your option.

Basically, there is no real answer to your question. Flash one rom, give it a few days, if you don't like it then flash another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirProudNoob:
One of the things that frustrates me is that I can't solve these issues on my own. I'm trying to learn linux and a lot of basic things like that, but it doesn't come naturally. If I could just know how to fix things, then I'd be happy.

I just learned about flashing radios not a few months ago. Before that I was having a ton of issues getting google voice search and my camera to work, and I didn't know why.

So many people write guides and such, but they never give the deeper explanations. Just the quick, easy answers. Take the one-click root for D2VZW. Does it work amazingly? Yes, I used it earlier today, and it was flawless. But I want to learn more in a way that's doesn't require 200% commitment and prior knowledge of things like how to use the linux terminal.

I don't like being a noob, but it's impossible to learn this stuff on your own unless you dedicate yourself, body and soul...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's all part of the learning experience. You can't expect someone to give you answers all the time. I learned so much from not being happy with some aspect of my phone, searching for answers, and applying fixes for my problems.

You can learn anything without dedicating time, you learn as you go along. I was brand new to all of this a year ago, and now I'm able to fix nearly anything that happens to my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirProudNoob:
Just needed to vent some frustration at this lol...

Thanks.

On the bright side I know how to use odin, so I can almost never kill my phone :D

Sometimes I feel like I need two phones though. One to mess with and one to actually use for being a phone.

This is a great guide. Just thought of it and couldn't remember where I saw it but it's worth skimming through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dohturdima:
This is exactly why I haven't flashed a single rom/kernel on my phone since I had it (run debloated stock with a few mods). I need my phone functional 100 percent. I was a flash-a-holic with my OG Samsung Epic, and learned from this that you can't have both variety and function. Do I miss the experience? Sure, but right now I can't afford to have a phone that isn't functioning the way I need it to be. Speajing of two phones: just upgraded to GNote 3, so may finally got to mess around with the S3 once the Note is activated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Might I suggest XDA-University to help you learn these things?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirProudNoob:
I've bookmarked those links. Thanks for the help. I didn't know about the XDA university, since as you can see I'm new here.

If it was shown to us during registration (along with that one video), sorry I missed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
The video is probably older than the university...it just opened about 3 months ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crashercarlton:
i'll be honest...I love cyanogenmod and would (almost) die for it...I have found my happy rom to be (Carbon) and while i have no issues with it, i live in a bad signal area...long story short, we don't have Verizon Coverage (Altell) atm...There was a lawyer issue that created a problem back in the seventies and that was just lifted about a year ago...Verizon's towers are being put up everywhere and i can't wait till they are activated...That being said i get data drops in the town i live in and sometimes have better experience on Touchwiz...But i cannot stand being on 4.1.2 and to be honest even though i might have data on touchwiz i can't really get it to work...so...

My experience is that when cyanogenmod in its current state is more honest about connectivity....because where cyanogenmod has none touchwiz has a connection that can't do anything.... If we had touchwiz with the latest android version i would probably be fine with an aosp theme....but not really... xD

Hi All,

I have noticed a disturbing trend on my new Note 3. The streaming video playback is pretty terrible with just about everything except youtube. Has anyone else experienced this or do I likely have a bad unit? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
This is sort of expected behavior as apps need to be updated to utilize the Note 3's hardware decoder otherwise it has to be decoded in software which is slower and more battery consuming. What apps and what codec is the video encoded in?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thimetolive:
Hmmm it seems strange that poor web video playback would be expected on a device targeted toward video consumers. I have encountered this with every streaming video I have tried to play in both Chrome and the built-in browser, with the exception of Youtube videos.

Have you tired Dice Player? Watching Pacific Rim 1080p right now :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phyba:
Only choppy video is from YouTube. I downloaded a few 1080p movies and trailers and they run flawlessly. So I'm assuming it's the youtube app needing to be updated as well as what exothermic video apps. Mx player works fine as well as the stock player

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
This is the pre-alpha thread of OmniROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i605). More information can be found here.

This build is very bare bones at the moment. Don't let flashing this now turn you down from trying it again in the future, a lot of changes are coming soon. I would still consider this much more of a tester than a daily driver unless bare bones is your style. The rom is very smooth and fast though probably for that very same reason.

Source:

https://github.com/omnirom

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/status:open,n,z

https://github.com/omnirom-slickrick

What doesn't work:

You tell me!

Installation method:

Wipe all if coming from another rom

Flash OmniROM

Flash GApps

Reboot

This rom does not come with root by default. Flash SuperSU in recovery if you want root!

Flash at your own risk! No one else is responsible if your device bursts into flames

To try out multiwindow, go to recents and long press an app. Click add to split view and repeat to add another app. Keep in mind its still buggy at the moment

Have fun and enjoy! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
For "pre-alpha" this is a very solid stripped to the basics AOSP ROM. Obviously features like customizing and themes will get added in but for now this is pretty good. Basic stuff like wifi, bluetooth, phone, etc are working on my end here. Looking forward to seeing where this ROM goes. Will be keeping my eyes on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:

Taken from here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
yeah i couldn't get data to show up, but I'm okay with that :) the rom was definitely smooth and I'll have to try it out again soon. thank you Rick! you kick ass like always
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
That's weird that data isn't working. If you can grab a logcat please.

Any progress on the data issue? I tried again and still a no-go on data.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
sorry to bring up a semi old thread, but i wonder if because i flashed omni using twrp 2.6.3.0 that's why i didn't have data... ima try with cwm and see if i have data then

EDIT: yup that didn't fix my radio issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dturneys:
Data working

When I did a normal flash with or without gapps no data & SU and "unknown baseband". Flash rom then gapp, then SU let boot, then boot back into TWRP & make a backup in TWRP only of "system" and "data". Flash CM 10.2 nightly & gapps allow data to lock and also open maps and allow GPS to lock. Reboot back into TWRP & restore the previous Omni / gapps / SU backup. Wipe dalvik & cache, reboot and everything should be good to go.

The rom has been very stable with no reboots & multi window works well.

The only issue I have experienced is a buzzing sound on call bluetooth on callers side until complete connection occurs.

Looking Good!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dturneys:
Bluetooth

I wiped cache and dalvik rebooted and reconnected bluetooth and everything is good.

This worked for me! Thanks!

Sorry

Sorry, I am going to be "that guy" who proves my ignorance. I would love having the OMNI rom on my i605, but I couldn't get data or voice working. I saw the whole thing about backing up and restoring but I could not get that to work either. Are you working on a 4.3 or 4.4 release?

Thanks

Thanks to everyone, especially you apophis9283,for being patient and trying your hardest to help me build for the i605,even though I failed in the end you helped out tremendously!

Anyone know why we don't have nightlies but are on the list of supported devices?

It states that they are either supported or soon will be. My assumption would be the same as the issue Im having which is no signal.

Cool hopefully that's turns out to be true. Happy with your aokp anyways but omni seems to be the hot rom at the moment.

[MENTION=4262884]slick_rick[/MENTION] - it is saying baseband unknown and it isn't detecting the SIM. Flashing Radio doesn't help nor does the blank radio fix from CM's thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let [MENTION=4262884]slick_rick[/MENTION] know that the latest nightly still has the same issue with no baseband.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PapaJohnMc:
Same here. No baseband. Updated modem to MJ9, tried flashing via TWRP 2.6.3.1, then through CWM, and then Philz (based on CWM). Each time = Baseband unknown.

Tried both Nightlies currently available...

Really getting excited to see this fully functional on the Note 2 for VZW...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Guy on G+ said that he thinks the rom is missing the RIL (radio interface layer). It is the drivers Android uses to communicate with the cellular radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
This is the same issue I had when compiling. I have never had to deal with RIL, if I knew what directory to look in, I might be able to get it. I pulled cm's trees and trying to build a differnt rom now. Seeing as cm had it working hopefully Im successful

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
TW based roms are it, unless you want to build it yourself:

..I posted instructions on how to pull the patch for this feature and build it into AOKP on the AOKP forums. I also built it using the latest SlimRoms tree for i605 using a similar method; I had to get quite a bit of help on that one, but it seems to work quite well. Apperently the unwritten code among the various ROM developers is that it is poor form to distribute a work-in-progress feature until it is completed, so don't expect to see this available in any other prebuilt rom; you have to build it yourself.

:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travisn000:
After getting instruction from gchild320 on how to build my personal slimrom for the i605, I wonder if the same method would work for getting Omni to work on the i605?

He has a github account that has the i605 stuff that when used in combination with the main slim tree and the slim t0lte device tree provides a fully functioning 4.4.2 rom.

If no-one gets around to it before next weekend, I can give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DX.Deception:
I would like to try this along with you if you would be willing to help :D
