Hi to everyone!

I'm new to Omnirom and I have read that after every update root is lost. I know that to restore it I have to flash supersu zip, but I was wondering if there was a method to keep root even after an update.

Thanks!

Fm radio (not stream)

Days ago a user says he is using the FM radio with omnirom.

Spirit FM do not work at all in 4.4.

Is there other not streaming option for fm radio?

Two problems I've been having (on latest build) :

1. In the battery usage description, when you tap on the graph it shows at the bottom that wifi is always on, but I never use wifi on my phone. I don't even turn it on.

2. When I go to settings in the gallery app, it displays a black screen. The menu soft key button doesn't do anything in the camera app as well. (I wanted to set storage to external SD card).

Any help?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
1. Go to the wifi options and disable "scanning always enabled" or similar.

So I'm unable to use snapchat video frontface camera for more than 2 seconds, and back camera 4 seconds, and I read that it's a media recording size limit issue on the app's side. However, nobody has it but CM and Omnirom users. Any ways this could be fixed?

Trying to install OmniROM 4.4.2 onto my S3, replacing the standard 4.3 stock ROM. Rooted and TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, booted into TWRP, selected Wipe and slider for factory reset

Then select Install, and selected the Omnirom zip file (omni-4.4.2-20140113-i9300-nightly.zip) then swipe to confirm flash

It checks the MD5, it then says "formatting /system", then "extracting /system" then it says

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E: error executing updater binary in zip '/external .......

Error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM's/omni-4.4.2 ...........

Updating partition details .......

and then it shows a red failed message

If I reboot, I just go back to TWRP .. where I can restore my NAND

What is wrong here?

[Galaxy S III General] SiriusCybernetik:
After a few days of using Omni, I am truly convinced. The system is 100% stable.

(I am using almost everything, except Bluetooth)

I have to add that everything is stock, no ART, no fancy governors or messing with clocking. I started with a clean install from latest twrp.

At first I experienced an enormous battery drain (5% left after 5 hours idle).

It looked like the keyboard not only prevented the phone from going to sleep but it also downloaded over 200MB when connected to WiFi. I.d.k. what was the cause, I suspected Google now or some other Google services going crazy.

I managed to fix it by clearing data from Google keyboard, search and any other Google service I could think of. After a reboot, all was fine. The keyboard doesn't even show up in the battery stats.

I temporarily disabled Google now because I think it was partially responsible for the drain.

Thanks @ all the omni and device devs.

Cheers guys, that all worked. I won't really on all GUI stuff for the latest versions

Not to see if I like OmniROM :)
[Galaxy S III General] moovtome:
I noticed similar issue... :/ What may cause that? What could we check to verify problem? Or find similarity?

I used Boeffla kernel before and now omni's stock - both charging slow/stuck. Few times battery discharged to 0% before started to charge (with connected cable!). NB: charging when android was off was as quick as it should be... So - I back to stock kernel... maybe custom kernel makes some problems or there are kind of leftovers in system? How to clean that? Maybe there is any app to reset charging/voltage settings?

cornelha - did you use any custom kernel before problems occurs?
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
1st thing I always did, was flash Yank555 kernel. Never used to have any problems. Last night I flashed stock ML4, flashed Yank kernel and the drain continued, I flashed stock kernel by JustArchi this morning and my drain was normal. I think there might be something to custom kernels here.

Anybody got this nightly auto update to work. I checked for software updates, it downloaded the nightly update (140114), and once done asked if I wanted to flash, it mentioned that only TWRP can support this up ... and so said Yes, that I had it installed.

The phone then rebooted, into TWRP, but then just sat there at the main TWRP screen ... am I supposed to do anything, or should it do it itself?

As they told you right now the only way to go is via custom kernel, get the Boeffla beta for Omni, flash it, get the Boeffla settings app and then set mDNIe as you like it.

TTF fonts in Font Installer, what do they mean

Wasn't really sure where to post this, but thought someone must have used Font Installer under the OmniROM?

I have installed Font Installer on the OmniROM, and have selected a Font that I would like to use, however, it seems it doesn't change all the text, only selective.

Noticed that in the Preferences option, there is a "Select Font", and in there a list of TTF files (AndroidClock.ttf for example), only 2 of these are selected (Roboto-Regular.ttf and Clockopia.ttf). Should I select all of these to change the text on the whole phone?

[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
I have an additional problem with touch wake. I am using on screen nav buttons and whenever touch my screen shortly after it turns black I lose the proper nav buttons and instead get the lock screen ones (arrow and camera) making navigation impossible, so I have to turn off and on my phone with the power button.

I tried to turn touch wake off and I have the same issue if I use my power button soon after the screen goes off.

I believe the problem is my phone has a delay of 10 seconds before displaying the lock screen, however the nav buttons do bit follow this and think the phone was locked immediately.
[Galaxy S III General] MrTanguero:
When I turn the lock screen off, if I use the home button to wake the device it goes straight to recent apps instead of just turning the screen on.

Can anyone else try to reproduce it?

[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Works fine here. A wild guess: have you perhaps a) configured long press on home to open the recent apps list and b) pressed home to turn on the phone too long, maybe because of the well-known S3 wakeup lag? If so, just press home just once and quick to wake up the device and wait until the screen turns on.
[Galaxy S III General] MrTanguero:
a) yes

b) no, of course I tried press it as quickly as I can. What kernel are you using? Did you turn the lock screen off in the settings before trying

I am not sure if this will help you. If your concern is to have an easy and quick access to the camera from within the lockscreen.

Did you already try to swipe to the left while on the lockscreen? (Start the swiping from the rightmost part of the screen and move it to the left.) You should see the camera widget appear.

Please excuse me if this was not what you were asking for.
