I'm going to try it. By the way, can anyone ultimately answer to this question: using the close source blob, do we have the same pic quality as in TW roms? I.e. Does the close source blob wipe out the quality gap between stock and AOSP roms?
[Galaxy S III General] UtkarshGupta:
Raw image/preprocessing ? Most probably.

Post processing ? Most probably not.
[Galaxy S III General] pippoaacc:
And this is because postprocessing is up to the specific camera apk used, right?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Correct, samsungs camera app is doing some polishing to get better images.

[MENTION=4958387]UtkarshGupta[/MENTION]

Was wondering if you have any updates with the low volume level when recording videos or recording voice... I raised it in Jira and it was a WIP a couple of days back....

That was my biggest concern and hence I moved to CM11 for the time being.

And today I hear about the Camera issue... [emoji45][emoji45][emoji45]
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
The camera is still broken. Just updated a while ago.

Hey :) does omnirom kernel have Samsung update13 sources? Or is smdk4x12? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] DroidShift79:
Smdk4x12
[Galaxy S III General] pippoaacc:
Just a reminder (you have already thought about it, probably): if you had flashed some omni camera fix, I suggest a clean flash, because now we have cm camera.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
I've never used the fix... So it's relieving to know what u mentioned...

Just waiting on another issue to get fixed... And then I'm back on OmniROM...

Can't wait!!
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:

They removed the open source camera HAL in favor of the closed source one, but apparently didn't get merged or wasn't included at all.
[Galaxy S III General] Demonhotrod:
To everyone that is talking about camera problems, are you getting a "Can't connect to camera" error? I've cleared cache but it still doesn't seem to work, can't figure out if it's the ROM or a hardware fault
[Galaxy S III General] albie999:
I was getting the same issue, and was advised to flash the Boeffla Kernel. Since I did that, don't seem to be having any "can't connect to camera" issues

[Galaxy S III General] Demonhotrod:
Very bizarre! Thanks. The problem has only been happening the past couple of days AFAIK and I've been using Omni for months and months and months. I'll try and flash Boeffla, see if that fixes it

Thanks. I've just seen the Changelog and provided I'm reading it correctly, the commit/merge to do with the camera has just been corrected. Hopefully it'll be back working in one of the upcoming nightlies

Why don't you read my post instead of making your own conclusions?

Or at least search the gerrit and you will see that the camera HAL was removed, so yeah, no camera for now.
[Galaxy S III General] UtkarshGupta:
If you look closely, it was replaced by closed source one & not completely removed.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:

Hi all,

I've installed an omnirom 4.4 based rom and using it for past one week.

While everything works sooper smooth ,I've noticed one issue.

Battery is not getting charged while the phone is switched off. Do anyone have any pointers to fix this issue?

I've found this issue was mentioned (and later fixed) in N7000. But I couldn't locate any details about i9300 specific issues.

Battery works pretty fine while phone is on and charging and discharging fine. While phone is switched off, I get a tiny red exclamation mark on top left and battery symbol stays grey colour.

cant hear caller after reboot with nova launcher

Yesterday, i experienced a really weired problem on many different builds(2014-07-10, 2014-07-11 and one backup from february), which took some hours to track back to my launcher:

When I boot/reboot my phone with NovaLauncher set as my Default Launcher I wont be able to hear what a caller says in every call I tried. However, when I tried KK Launcher or the default Google Launcher, it all works fine.

If i boot with Google Launcher and then switch to Nova, everything works fine until the next reboot. I also tried ApexLauncher, which caused the same problem.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] thearc77:

Finally got my S3 motherboard replaced. It now comes with Stock 4.3 JellyBean. Within 2-3 days it has started lagging like hell..

I've been a long time Omni user and first rooted this phone about 2 years ago. Any idea how to get started with Omni again? Is CF-Root the best option, or is there another way to get TWRP installed?
[Galaxy S III General] thearc77:
Install TWRP recovery only with Odin, then put on your external SD all files you need (Omni, Gapps, kernel, SuperSu), do a full wipe (system, data, internal storage, caches) and install (look for "external sd) all at once.

You need TWRP for best experience or try Phil's Recovery.

Besides this is S3 dedicated forum may be you have troubles with your IMEI.

1. Is there a place where I can see the relevant changelog for the i9300? on the official omnirom site its empty.

2. sometimes I have problems with the Bluetooth - if I try to listen to music everything is ok, but if I try to make a phone call the voice on the other side comes out metallic. as I said, not always, sometime reconnecting the device helps and sometimes not. any solution?

thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] UtkarshGupta:
Reasons why devs * don't * fix bugs:

1) They are doing it for free. Its a hobby, not their job.

Most of donation money, if any, goes to renting build & download servers, sometimes to buy new devices to add support for them.

2) SMDK platform is very difficult to work with. Sources are scarce. Because of this, very few people actually work on smdk platform.

If it wasn't for epic developers like xplodwild or codeworkx, we might not have any aosp ROMs at all.

If you are unhappy with a ROM, just don't use it. You don't need to tell the developer why you think he is a lazy bastard.

And FYI, xplodwild was the one to restore closed source blobs. You guys have a maintainer. But you guys expect 0 bugs.
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Respect!
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
100% sure you quoted the wrong post here. I know all of these reasons and totally agree. I noticed that JustArchi and Andi both mentioned that SMDK is a pain to work with. My point is, don't come whining here like you own the place just because no one here listens to you. Which was what I pointed out a few posts ago.
[Galaxy S III General] Jerommeke:

Any suggest?

Most here says that OMNI is really smooth but I would say UI is a bit laggy/not really smooth compared to temaseks cm11.

I remember cm10.2 not long time ago had a commit with changes to overlays or layers(i dont remember exactly) which really improved smoothness of graphic effects(for example it fixed graphic flickering in firefox) while OMNI still has this issue.

[Galaxy S III General] Shakes27:
I think it might be a kitkat thing, because I'm currently running cm11 (temasek) and I have the same display. Personally only a minor issue for me, however I think you could check systemui.apk to see if the H+ icon is still included.

OmniROM Gerrit:

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

You will have to get used to reading gerrit for the time being. Too much work being done by the team for them to be worrying about changelogs right now. Remember it is alpha at the moment, but I have been using OmniROM 4.4 as a daily since the first i9300 release.

Take that as you will, but I'm sure most will attest to the fact that the ROM is pretty darn stable.
