Kernel issue should not be asked here.

I have no issue so far with the beta7

[Galaxy S III General] Teura:
I get this every time Swiftkey updates itself. Sometimes the buttons start working normally after a few seconds, sometimes I need to reboot my phone. It's annoying, but I can live with it as it's not that often Swiftkey receives updates. From your screenshot, you seem to have recently updated some apps as well, so it could very well be the same thing.

Oh, and Omnirom is the only rom where I've seen this behavior.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Am using Boeffla v2.3 beta 7 with Omni 4.4.4. No issues here.

Always flash kernel after first boot...!

Thanks! Got it working. :)
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I had Swiftkey too, but a third party app cannot block so many buttons. It was globally...

You think it was because of this?

I mean, pressing home should've closed the keyboard app, and release the blocking, if that was the cause, no?

About the updates, the screenshot has icons of installations. I've installed some apps I wanted to try. Didn't run them yet at the time.
[Galaxy S III General] Teura:
Yes, it's global for me too. It's only Swiftkey that causes it, and it does it with every update. Although, I wouldn't be surprised that if Swiftkey can cause it, some other app might trigger it as well. But it's related to updating, or in your case, maybe installing certain apps as well.
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I don't know. it sounds weird to me. It happened yesterday, and the last update of SwiftKey was on "June 18, 2014" .

I update my apps quite regulary (in addition to automatically).

I'm pretty sure the app didn't update when I had this problem.

I hope to try out OmniRom again some day in the future.
[Galaxy S III General] qnguyen88:
And to update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4, do we need to do a full wipe or a wipe cache and dalvik wipe are enough ?
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
No need to do a full wipe.

You can flash as is.

But what I did was...

Wipe system. Wipe Dalvik. Wipe cache. Flash OmniROM 4.4.4. Flash PA_GApps 4.4.4. Flash SuperSU. Wipe Dalvik. Wipe cache. REBOOT.

I did that coz i wanted to flash the new PA_GApps 4.4.4 :)

Log into GMail and remove the contacts from your account. Also check for duplicates...

Almost every time I try to use Google voice ime I get a Google Search FC. Sometimes it gives me even a random reboot. Random reboot occurs always when I choose the voice IME through the microphone icon on aosp keyboard or swiftkey. It's a long term bug for me, even after several clean flashes, since the first omni kitkat times. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Wiping multiple times while in recovery is a common misconception: the cache and Dalvik cache will only be populated when you boot the phone. While you're in recovery, you can happily flash any number of zips, there is no need for repeated wipings of any of the caches.

Did you ever get this buzzing issue sorted?
[Galaxy S III General] kalda01:
Are you guys updating nightly versions using OpenDelta on regular basis ? Is there any reason not to use OpenDelta ?
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Yes. I'm using Opendelta...

I'm on TWRP v2.7.1.0 and updates are smooth.... No hiccups.

Sometimes OpenDelta doesn't tell me of an update... So I check for system updates manually every 2-3 days (Settings > System Updates)...

Occurrence: Often!

Sometimes I have to click the "check updates" 2-3 times for it to actually find the update...

Occurrence: Sometimes.

At times OpenDelta will tell me there's an update but it is not able to download the update...

And then if u download the ROM myself and flash via custom recovery... After reboot... OpenDelta still tells me that there's an update available... Though my device is on the most current nightly.

Occurrence: Sometimes.

Opendelta is still kinda buggy though flashing the updates is no hassle... Works well.

A while ago I read that CyanDelta added support for Omnirom, but I never tried it. On CM, CyanDelta apeared to be faster than OpenDelta on OmniRom. But of course this is a bit comparing apples and oranges.Anyway it may be an option to consider.

Can anyone tell me if there's a call hold bug in Omnirom? All CM based roms are facing this.. If there's an incoming call.. The current call gets on hold.. Earlier, it just used to notify in the background..

[MENTION=2876905]f0xy[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION]

(sorry to tag you guys on this... But really wanna know the reason for the below or a workaround if possible. Sincere apologies).

I've had this issue with almost every build of OmniROM and can't understand why.

Whether it be a missed call that I try to call back or a phone number I click on... I keep getting this dialog (see attached pic).

No matter how many times I click "Always"... This dialog pops up every single time.

Anyone facing the same?

Test it if you want. Have a call and let someone call you while you are on the first call. Then the first call will mute while the second person is calling you. That mute shouldnt happen

bug

First thank you for the awesome ROM guys.

I have one bug that is driving me crazy, it's about "rotation lock". Steps to reproduce:

- rotate phone to landscape

- enable "rotation lock"

- rotate phone to portrait

- press anywhere where keyboard pops up (URL bar, SMS body, etc..)

- the bug: screen rotates back to portrait mode (it shouldn't)

I hate this :) Anyone got a clue?

I'm on 19/11 nightly an i'm loving it. No battery drain that i can see but i'm not obsessed with batt stats,

i just want a smartphone that works and is smooth and not laggy and my s3 on this rom does all that.

I know devs do a fantastic job bringing us all these goodies and they strive to get it perfect and to me a normal user its not far off.

friend of mine at work has an iphone 4s and he updated to IOS7 and his phone lags like hell its really slow and his battery

hardly lasts a day at work and he hardly uses it.

I for one am eternally grateful.
[Galaxy S III General] biglew:
This is apple forcing users with old models to update to iphone 5 etc by including lag in ios7 updates.

[Galaxy S III General] frater:
I'm flashing omniROM daily and the devs are doing a great job.

I can't say the same about the people in this thread that are supposed to give feedback.

Almost every day since I found out that there's an issue regarding the timing of the flash I'm trying to get attention for it.

I did get someone to react that he didn't have an issue but then I noticed that it only happens when you want to take a up close in a dark area.

I don't want it fixed or anything. I merely want the folks in here to try and take a picture with flash in a dark area up close and write the result here.

This is the first step to get things fixed. If I'm the only one with this issue.. well that's bad luck for me then.

Cheers

I have no issues with flash photography either close-up or at distance, could be down to different hardware revisions. It does seem a little odd that the flash is miss-firing on your phone and no-one else seems to have the same issue.

[Galaxy S III General] Rickav:
Bit of a newbie here; I've had a Note II for quite a while now so I know my way round a stock-ish Sammy phone alright. Check my signature if you want more info (in short, it is rooted and on a custom 4.4.2 rom). Few long questions here, would really appreciate a thorough response. Cheers in advance.

One of my family is looking to get a budget smartphone and I pushed them towards the S3 since the £200 price tag seems to be well worth the performance, especially given that they've used Nokia bricks the whole of their lives.

1. Bit irrelevant, but if you can think of another phone of similar/better performance or feature-rich elsewhere in the same budget range, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know (PM if it is deemed too off-topic for this thread).

Like my Note II, I'll be looking to root and run a solidly supported custom rom on it. As of a brief research of less than 5 minutes, Omni came up as the rom thread with the most replies which is still currently actively maintained (discounting Cyanogen which had its last post reply over a few months ago). Which raises a few more questions.

2. If my Note II is anything to go by, you win some and you lose some with custom roms. For me, you lost all S-pen functionality with any AOSP rom. Pretty big loss, to be honest. What about Omni? What do I lose, per se? I know for a fact that there is a lot to gain... I've been eyeing Omni on the Note II for a while and it's one of the best reasons I have seen which persuades me to move away from stock-based rom.

I'll wait for a reply to these initial questions before attempting to go into greater detail...

Cheers.

Once flashed, open SuperSU from system settings, go to Settings then do 'Install SuperSU backup script'. This prevents it from being lost after flashing next nightly.

I believe it's not included so less technical users don't **** up their phones.
