just grab a file explorer of your choice from the Play Store, e.g. ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Nearly all of them available in the Store offer the functionality to install apk files.

Just make sure to allow the installation of such files in the settings. You should also be prompted to do so the first time you try to install an apk from your phone...

atm there is no file explorer included in Omni but the devs are working on it.

Hi guys,

For whose using XPosed AND affected by the system r/w bug, a new beta2 is out which solves the problem. Works great with latest SuperSU 1.8.

Tnx to Yank555 for pointing it out.

People not affected does't need to upgrade.
[Galaxy S III General] RohanAJoshi:
for test : before sleep, reboot phone, make a normal call without headset and go to sleep, after wake up check drain.

next night,reboot phone and go too and check battery drain.

you will get difference.

Anybody found a way to relocate the camera folder to the external SD ?
[Galaxy S III General] vinylmeister:
Hi,

i was wondering if it is normal that after updating nightlies i have to also reflash GApps because Play Store get´s no connection (i am using banks gapps)?
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
For now I use "Camera JB+" from the PlayStore. It allows to save to the external sd.
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
according to his screenshot his conclusion based on his draw is right, but maybe he is just using a Headset or he is simply not affected.

I checked his Graph and (if I'm not wrong or misplaced the rulers in PS) thats roughly 4% lost in about 6:20 which results in 0,6%/h.

I totally agree that it has nothing to do with the problem being fixed though.

yes, perfectly normal.

every time

flash

1. ROM

2. GAPPS

3. SuperSU
[Galaxy S III General] petrolcan:
Always reflash GApps and superSU after flashing new nightly.
[Galaxy S III General] vinylmeister:
Thank you, didn´t know that. Other roms i used since then worked without that.
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
The Omni installer formats /system and that is why we need to reflash Gapps. It also "breaks" other apps with stuff in /system.
[Galaxy S III General] vinylmeister:
Very helpful, thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] habylab:
What are others experiences with the other gapps, spec and banks? Spec seems to be one of those script filled things, banks seems pretty normal? I may stick with PA for now. It works, anyway!
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
Hey guys, i have a question: The non-intrusive incoming call isn’t fully merged right? Cuz i get the white border at the buttom but without the ability to click anything Or answer the call.

TY
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
Okay, first of all, the guy didn't get panned even if he and you think that way.

I don't have that kind of problem. I'm using XXUFME7 baseband atm btw. Can I ask what was your procedure to get Omni running?
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
Not completely true, sure the different cameras are a reason, but the different camera firmwares as well, which get updated by stock firmwares.

That's why i told my baseband before, because i didn't, remember my last stock Rom version ;)

[Galaxy S III General] Gambit14:
Thx for the replies, i have never had camera issues with 4.3 aosp (tried cm 10.2, slimbean, carbon, pacman, omni 4.3 so far), so i was thinking maybe the new 4.4 build were only working with different camera firmware..

I just tried temasek cm 11 and camera is working fine with that rom (tested only few minutes) :/
[Galaxy S III General] cassote:
Same here... No problems on camera till Omni 4.4...... Testing cm 11 now and camera working.... Please give us a solution, altough i like cm, i really want Omni on my s3 !!!! Keep the good work
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
Last post was quoted from here, therefore what I can understand from this is that the ROM itself doesn't upgrade the camera, even though camera firmwares must be present in the ROM too so that the camera become functional.

But I guess that you meant something that is mentioned here.
[Galaxy S III General] overflyer:
Hi guys just 1 quick question and 1 not so important just out of interest:

1) How do I enable Multi-Windows function in Omni 4.4 (I'm on the 11-14 build) ?

2) Why is the kernel still a cyanogenmod kernel and why is is 3.0.64? Shouldnt version 3.4 be merged to Android Kit Kat?
[Galaxy S III General] LeJolly:
1) seems to not be there yet

2) this was answered by Xplod before in this thread if I'm not mistaken
[Galaxy S III General] Eisfreak7:
To answer your first question: It was already mentioned that multiwindow isn't merged yet.
[Galaxy S III General] vermat99:
Hi, first of all thanks, this ROM is more stable than 4.2.2 Samsung. I have only a question, how many time is estimated to fix the video playback problems? Some days, a week,2 week, a month? Because if i must wait some days I can use this ROM but if I must wait more than a week I need to flash another ROM...
[Galaxy S III General] NemesisRE:
Hi [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] first thanks for the great work (again!)

Second thing is I try to build the rom by my own but I don´t have success, it´s stopping always at this error http://paste.omnirom.org/view/7415f710 or http://paste.omnirom.org/view/d606041c

I did a repo sync before so it should all at the current state. Do you have any cherrypicks included?

I configured everything like on the omni wiki said, except that i used the branch "android-4.4" and added "DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 720x1280" to BoardConfig.mk

edit: I build already a working 4.3 only 4.4 is not working

Cheers

Steven
[Galaxy S III General] vader20:
No eta's mate :| just be happy with what you've got and if the wait is to tough then flash another rom
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
The rom part is the HAL, but the firmware is another thing, and down and upgrading afterwards isn't the same as never been upgraded before and upgrading, as he asks himself within the last sentence which rom versions do upgrade the camera firmware and afaik, they do, but rarely, but that's just what i think to know about it. But i would say, enough OT^^
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Anyone else noticed that 2D performance is terrible ?

Also Chrome browser is very laggy when pinch zooming in\out which is not case with other Roms .
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
https://github.com/omnirom/android_hardware_samsung/commit/91db1c98414a36847bc7560eb23817056cc86990

Check your sync, the fix is already in place, as well as the DEVICE_RESOLUTION config.

You probably made a "dirty init" over your present 4.3 sync, would recommend making a clean sync of 4.4 to another folder or going through all projects and to check if they are on the right branch and if all commits are in place.

It's so great to see our S3 is still alive. Thank you so much!

Could someone explain to me, why the current Rom only works with CWM and not with TWRP? I want to understand the reason.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Tectas:
Because the current public available version of twrp doesn't support flashing 4.4 Roms yet.

Help us all out

Can I just take a moment to post OT.

I see a lot of posts which, whilst potentially helpful ,lack sufficient info. Can I humbly suggest the following to those wishing to supply bug reports

Read the thread and see if it's already reported

Try upgrading to the latest release before reporting a bug

Try replicating the bug on a clean flash (i.e Full wipe, flash rom and gapps only, standard kernel)

Provide a brief but concise description of the error (if the devs cant replicate the bug at least they can understand whats going on)

Where possible provide a logcat and full details of which version of the rom you are running (the latest nightly when you post the report isn't necessarily the latest when it's read)

Provide details of what if anything you have tried to remedy the bug (i.e have you tried wiping data, Cache etc?)

And above all a little patience goes a long way

Please bear in mind that this ROM is still very early in development and will inevitably haev some potentially show stopping bugs, but hopefully we can help the devs track them down and squash em.
[Galaxy S III General] tepets:
thanks for the rom
[Galaxy S III General] Doppiadi:
Mhhhh there's something wrong on your side, here it's working fine.
[Galaxy S III General] Rebellos:

Hmm. I am still having bogus signal strength values on my I9300. Anyone else, or is it just my setup?
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
This is what i am getting: ignore the white on the picture that's my doing. But as you can see i have no way of answering the call.

UPDATE: Ok so i just needed to change my system language to English.........
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
Though I do not check the actual values the bars seem to nicely correspond with the signal strength I used to see on other ROMs.

Thus where I had one bar before I do have one bar now and vice versa.

Regarding the latest fix of the drain problem. Do you consider this sorted as good as possible or are you still working on that?
[Galaxy S III General] danmak89:
I finally made the switch to Omni, just one question about nightlies which I'm having difficulty finding in this thread. With the PA-GAPPS, will I have to reflash with each nightlies like with the CM11 builds?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] bmadn74:
I swapped from PA to Banks (standard) and it totally solved my battery drain issues. But if you're not having that problem then I don't really see the need :) . I was on PAgapps 1118. From what I'm reading maybe that's where the drain issue was. Earlier was fine. Later... I'd like to know? :p

Meant to be a reply to habylab :)

[Galaxy S III General] amirbd:
Hi yaniv

Change to English and it will be fine.

It's not working in Hebrew.

If the status bar upside don't change side to English there is a chance you"ll need to wipe data and than choose English.
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
Ok thnx man i'll try that. But that means that if im not using English as my main phone language i can't answe calls while on other app....That's problematic for now :(

UPDATE: You were right, changed to English and it's working well (Great add-on to the Rom!). I wonder tho if it will ever work on Hebrew...

[Galaxy S III General] blv1:
Unknown format means can't open file :(
[Galaxy S III General] danmak89:
Brilliant! Thank you.This current nightly seems to be stable enough for now, so I think I'll wait until new features are added before I update again. Otherwise it's just a time consuming process.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
It could be that the file is incomplete. Also, try to access it via a file browser, e.g. root explorer, es file explorer, total commander...

You are the only one having such massive problems with your apk installations. Either they are not really apk files or the downloads are broken. Arent these apps available on GooglePlay so you have to fall back to apk installions?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Omni has no file browser yet. Download one from the play store
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:

In temasek cm11 cooker inserted default file manager to ROM package!

[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
tema's rom is based on CM11, OMNI is not, it's stands on its own brand new feet, a new adventure started precisely because of CM.

having said that, if you like CM File manager, even in OMNI you can find it along with other CM Apps in /storage/emulated/CMApps

So, has wifi tethering been fixed as of 4 nightlies ago?

about torch app, i think that need a re-design.

[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Respectfully... let me say I think this thread is turning into a freestyle Q&A about Omni. Seriously? Is this the best place to discuss what file explorer we find nicer or be asking for what camera could be installed?

I believe this is a development thread, and it should be kept do discuss bugs, issues and possible solutions. All we are doing by trashing this place, is making devs life more complicated. After all, digging around tons of unrelated post to spot a bug, must be hard.

In my case, I tried to help out a bit by opening a thread to sum up a basic instalation advice, feel free to check it out

here.

Still, we got a complete subsection for Omni, with Q&A and General Discussion threads where anyone can post anything and freely discuss it, as it should.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
If it was a development thread, it would be in "original android development". I agree that the discussions are not always 100% on topic, but that's what you have to live with in a discussion thread
[Galaxy S III General] :
I'm having one issue with Active Display; After it popped up, telling me that I have an update or something: If I choose to unlock right into the app said update came from, Active Display "closes" and what appears is my lockscreen. After unlocking a second time, the app launches. Not sure if anyone really got that, but if you did, I'd be happy to know a potential fix.

I've just tried the Omni 4.4 nightly from 27.11. It's amazing what progress the team has already achieved! Congratulations and keep going!

I just recognise a poor WLAN transfer speed compared to 4.3.1 rom I've been using so far. Is this only me or has anybody else this issue ?:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
When you say poor WLAN speed is that poor indicated speed or actual, measurable, drop in performance?
[Galaxy S III General] pusemuckel:
to be honest I havn't looked at the transfer speed at all. I've copied 10 MP3 via WLAN and it took 2 Minutes.....doing the same on my old rom is done far below 1 minute....
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Ok, I understand. If it works fine just this way for de devs, maybe I was wrong the way I was thinking of it. Sorry for adding just some more off-topic discussion! :laugh:

Hi people!

I have a problem with all the nightlies that i have tried. I have a personal flashable zip with some apps that I want on /System. The zip is correctly created, it is based on one PA module. But when I try to flash that package on OMNI it won't boot. When it is suposed to appear the bootanimation the screen goes black and nothing happens, I have to reboot to recovery and reinstall the rom. And if i put the apps on /system with root explorer, even with correct permissions and lib files, menu and back keys become unresponsive.

Is this normal? what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Not much we can do if you don't provide the module name, or better yet, the module itself.
[Galaxy S III General] mykos5:
You can make download of the zip from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1u9u9kccir5av2/Apps-4.4.zip
