You can change ur default SMS application to something else like "8sms" from Play.

You won't lose your apps + apps data on update. Root... Yes! But just flash the SuperSU update zip file to gain root again. Or place the SuperSU update zip file in the /OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate folder. And make sure u uncheck "Secure" option in "System Updates" screen. This way... Whenever you update the ROM... The zip files in "FlashAfterUpdate" folder will also be flashed/installed in custom recovery automatically.

Oh....

Thank you. It fixed the low mic volume for me, after a reboot. Without a reboot the mic volume stays low.

I can now send voice messages without...... SHOUTING ?
[Galaxy S III General] oreo27:
Does 8sms have a working blacklist? It's really sad that my blacklist has to be redone manually.

Cools. I'll place the SuperSU flashable zip on there now.

On a related note, will something like Avast Anti-Theft be lost? From my understanding, it's installed System App. It has an option to survive hard resets by it's "Direct Write" method by supposedly writing to the system partition and in addition, modifying the following file: (It's supposed to work on CM Based ROMS).

system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt

It adds the following lines:

priv-app/com.avast.android.antitheft.apk
etc/com.avast.android.antitheft.backup.enc

How can I translate that into working with the FlashAfterUpdate folder you've mentioned?

Edit - Nevermind. Avast has the ability to create Update.zip. I'll just place that in the same FlashAfterUpdate folder. :D Only problem now is the blacklist. Everything else seems sorted and I love this ROM so far. Can't wait for updates.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Yes 8sms has all the stock messaging features + more.

If you use the 8sms blacklist, even after flashing new nightlies & FlashAfterUpdate zips... The app data (8sms) will survive the updates... So not to worry.

[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I think Omni has less annoying issues, but also less features than CM.

I like them both, and I think both are the best ones around. I also used them both for a long time. Still can't decide which one I prefer more.

This week I've switched back to Omni again, after finding out those issues on CM:

[Galaxy S III General] oreo27:
So far, I've noticed some bugs on OMNI. In addition, my battery drained around 50% faster than the stock 4.3 ROM I was using.

Is it easy to switch to CM? Can I directly flash CM without losing my Apps and Data?
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:

Less issues in CM11 but not much... A handful maybe... Most minor... 1-2 major.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

You could try that but it's definitely not recommended.

Between ROM changes, it's always recommended to do full wipes / factory resets.

If you use Titanium Backup Pro / ROM Toolbox, moving between ROM's is easier.
[Galaxy S III General] oreo27:
Oh. Okay. I suppose I should alot time for it then. Currently downloading ArchiDroid which I think is based on CM. I use TiB for my backup and restore needs but I still have to manually change some settings in addition to syncing my accounts.

Regarding the SMS, I'm currently testing out Handcent. The blacklist feature needs to allow letters so that I can successfully block things like "FREE" that come from my service provider. Unfortunately, the much lighter 8sms you mentioned doesn't allow me to do this. I just hate that Handcent is so bloated in addition to having a poor design in my books.
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Have you read the post I've written?

I've mentioned multiple issues I've found over time on CM.

Maybe you are talking about CM 10 . I was talking about CM nightlies (CM 11) vs Omni nightlies.

About battery, you can try Boeffla kernel instead. not sure if it helps.

About features, I don't see many features that Omni has and CM can't have (especially with Xposed framework and GravityBox module).

Doesn't matter if they're stantard or not, it's a basic option like screen brightness or backlight. Back when AMOLED screens werent stantard, were those settings under "Advanced Settings"? :rolleyes:

Maybe they're under advanced options because backligth is controlled by the kernel and not the rom. I know that in other roms is not under "Advanced settings" but under Buttons.In some, it's under "Display and Lights".
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
What do amoled displays have to do with that? Right, nothing.

Also, capacitive buttons are device specific. The standard are onscreen buttons. You can of course integrate them into the rom like others did, but there is also nothing wrong to keep them in device specific settings.

[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
Well, cannot say much about it. I know there are some roms around (I heard also Carbon) that are suffering the problem.

I guess you tried to increase mic levels already to the maximum in Boeffla-Config.

What about Omnirom stock kernel that comes with Omnirom? Same issue, or not?

Andi
[Galaxy S III General] leleobhz:
Lord,

Boeffla patch appears to change volume in hardware mixer, not in alsa, so call recording does not chance when volumes from Boeffla got changed (also experimented).

Second thing is I think really is the /system/etc/sound/m0 that mess up with things, but volume cannot be raised more than the patched m0 posted here.

Thanks for attention and I hope Omni/CM team fixed it in upstream of their mods.
[Galaxy S III General] UtkarshGupta:
Omni uses 1.6.5

The issue is in hal , not in kernel.

I am working on this issue, and It'll get merged soon.

Low Mic levels

I have the same issue in Omnirom stock kernel that comes with Omnirom. Some times i use HI-Q MP3 Recorder Pro App. I adjust Gain +20. This is maximum gain level. But its only enough for recording maximal distance 1/2 meter, not for recording group meetings. Mic is to low!
[Galaxy S III General] leleobhz:
The m0 file isnt enough to fix?
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
About blocking permissions, is there a way to block ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (which gets precise GPS location) permission, yet give the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (which gets estimated GPS location) permission ?

The reason for this is that some apps should need to really get a precise location (like weather apps for example)
[Galaxy S III General] Charly112:
I have not tried it, because with the next nightly i have the same issue and every time i must change m0. If it works i hope that modifies get part of the next nightly.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
it was an example

has nothing to do with capacitive buttons being the standard or not

Thanx for the tip.

I actually forgot to say I fixed the problem by going into my sound settings and changing the default alarm sound there, and it sorted out the crashing.

To go into more details slightly, I had to clear data on Media Storage to sort out duplicate entries in Apollo Music Player, and by doing that is screwed up ALL my system sounds (but sorted out Apollo, lol) just had to take a little time going thru and reassigning all my ringtones and text tones.

[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
I'm aware of this...

Question is when are the issues gonna be fixed?

I'm not asking for ETA...

But rather frustrated that issues I've reported on Jira haven't been updated? Not even commented on (in most cases!)

Moreover looks like the devs don't have a i9300 device to support us (totally understand.... I wish I had a spare device to send across) ... But not sure how we will actually be supported. Recruit a dev who has the device maybe?

+ low sound level issue...

For which there is the m0 file fix...

That too I have reported in Jira...

Has it been looked into? Not sure. Any comments by devs? None so far.

Dont get me wrong but I love Omni... Def my 1st preference and hence I keep coming back to it every now and then...

Sometimes and some days one just needs a good easy going day... Without having to bother with workarounds and quick fixes...

I am/was frustrated... And i vented it out... Without bashing anyone for that matter...

All I'm asking is an update (a comment update would suffice)...

But since u decided to bash me...

I hope ur reading this DJ!

Question.

Why are the OpenDelta updates around 280MB but manual download is around 170MB?
[Galaxy S III General] Luckz27:
Hi, I'm a new S3 user!

I don't understand:

- Why isn't the ROM pre-rooted?

- How does OpenDelta Updater work? I had to install CyanDelta for updating the ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Root it urself.

Flash the zip found at:

download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Settings... About Phone... System Updates... Check for updates... Should download the update automatically and then prompt you to flash.

If you dont want to flash right then and there... Then flash whenever u feel like it. The OTA update zip is available in /sdcard/OpenDelta folder.

And if you place the Update SuperSU zip file in the /sdcard/OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate folder, then the Update SuperSU zip file will flash automatically after u flash OTA zip.

[Galaxy S III General] Neorpowa:
Nice rom! Works very good :good:
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
In this ROM's case... It downloads only the update file/s and then patches it with the zip already existing in OpenDelta folder.

If there is no zip in OpenDelta folder, it downloads the entire zip.

So best is to keep the zip u flashed the ROM with also in the OpenDelta folder.

In the case of CM11, it downloads the entire OTA zip everytime and hence u would find multiple zip files (builds) in the CM updater folder.

Reg delta updates:

One time it downloads full zip file(or you need to manually copy the rom zip file there). Next time onwards it downloads only the modified files and merges with your existing zip. Cyandelta also do exact same thing.

Hi all,

I moved from stock to Omnirom some time ago, using the omni-4.4.4-20140628-i9300-NIGHTLY, and never updated it thorugh OTA because I don't have TWRP but CWM.

Now I would like to update it, so I see 2 ways:

1. move from CWM to TWRP and do OTA update

2. manually do a full update from zip

Can you please suggest me the best way to proceed?

If I do a manual update, will be my settings and apps mantained (like with the stock rom)?

[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
You can flash the OTA zip or latest zip using CWM as well though TWRP is preferred.

However make sure that u are on the latest CWM. You can install ROM Manager from Play and check to see if u r on latest / update to latest.

Flashing a newer Omni zip file will only update the ROM. Apps + app data will remain as is. You won't lose ur apps or apps data. Same goes with settings.

However... Always take a Nandroid before flashing. Safety first :)
