With latest nightly I have boot loop when trying to install Boeffla kernel, I tried with latest stable and latest test. I had no problems with previous nightly. And more importantly, thanks for the neat ROM, I love it ^^
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
It's a kernel issue, try boeffla thread.

Hey guys tonight I noticed that my battery went from 100 to 85% with WiFi disabled but in the battery starts it says that WiFi used the most battery... Any ideas? Running the last update with stock kernel. Thanks.

Omni switch is pretty cool. Really like it.

BUT, the app keeps stopping and I have to go into the app drawer to start it again. Its random as to why it stops. NO FCs or anything.

Its like it just gets kicked out of RAM?

Anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S III General] petrolcan:

Omniswitch looks cool but I think its kind of obtrusive even if you disable it (then you have to swipe 2x to get it to show). I hope this gets an update where it can be shown using a gesture via Nova launcher or the like.
[Galaxy S III General] reS28raM:
Are you talking about routing audio through usb port? Is the audio from the speaker working as in CM? If so I'll get rid of orrible 4.1 myself, was waiting for this for a while now, my S3 needs Omni lol. Fortunately I already have it on my N5. :p
[Galaxy S III General] Trunkam:
Don't know his usage, but i can say that in my case if i do not use my device for playing or video streaming.. I can arrive at 4.30.

I mean, i use for reading, control my media center over my network.. Sunday usage :).

If i play or something that use cpu gpu screen and data... Can be even 2 hours of screen.

But this happen in omni as in stock

tapatalked..
[Galaxy S III General] Mietschein:
Yeah, but like I said, it's not working :( Sadly, it's not working in any ROM other than stock 4.1. Somehow it seems like ROM devs hate docks.
[Galaxy S III General] sapabg:
WiFi will not turn off even if i disable the location services. Now Google Search is eating up my battery. Everything else seems to work perfectly but the battery is not. Something is keeping my device awake at all times and I can't figure out what...As far as I know the GEL is actually Google search so is it keeping my phone awake? Any sudgestions? Thanks.

EDIT: Last nightly with stock kernel

EDIT2: after force closing Google Search the device no longer stays awake.

EDIT3: well it seems like there was another update...let's see what will happen :D
[Galaxy S III General] reS28raM:
It's not what I asked bro (or I don't understood), is the normal audio through the speaker working at least ?

There are at least three threads on CM forum about this, for what I understood audio through the usb port in the dock was working until at some point was broken by a commit, it must be a matter of a revert or small modification to have it working again but what we maybe need is to file a regular bug report to omni devs about this issue. ;)

Not all devs own a dock station, it is a rather expensive device, the Samsung's one. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Mietschein:
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood then. Yes, audio through USB was working back in CM 10.1 and has been broken ever since. CM 10.2 and CM 11 completely disable audio when in a dock (speakers, headphone, dock, all are 100% silent). With Omni, the dock isn't recognized at all (audio wise), and sound kept playing through the phone speakers. I didn't test headphones.

Docks are like $10-$15, hardly 'rather expensive' for a $400-$450 phone ;)
[Galaxy S III General] reS28raM:
Well, you must understand a serious coder needs the original one, it is not wise to code on a chinese clone. ;)

Never tested hp too, but on CM 10.2 M1 (if I remember well) audio's through the speaker was working for me, only the switch to route the audio to the dock was disabled (grayed out). Latest time I checked on Omni docking support on S3 wasn't there at all, phone simply freezed. Time to go back to Omni even on S3 for me, thanks god. And to you too for your help. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
I have a bit of a weird bug/problem.

Have a look at the screen shot I have posted, the top RAM bar is from GravityBox (cos I'm not keen on the tiny round one that comes with Omni) the middle one is part of OmniSwitch.

Philz Recovery instead of TWRP

Hi, I was able to install it using Philz Recovery rather than TWRP. TWRP also caused a weird partition issue that limited my /data partition to like 2GB.

Will stay in the loop for updates!

I suspect even if you can extract the kernel image you'd find it's the kernel /rom combo that's responsible for the great battery life, but good luck to you.

Sorry about me taking a while for this. At that time, Bluetooth didn't work, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Hotspot and NFC as well. Not for me at least. But like I said, I AM ALL FOR OMNI :) !!!

But on a side note, why don't you guys and CyanogenMod get a Merger!!! Just saying, with all the new features of Omni, I am kinda jealous. BUt just imagine if Omni and Cyanogen worked together. This is just my little idea. But I'll admit, that this time, I have thought of something genius!!!

PS. If you guys a like total enemies or something, I am really sorry for bringing this up :( And its too bad if you are :(
[Galaxy S III General] granchio:
Thanks guhvanoh for your info, but when I had the original rom samsung FM radio worked without internet connection , only with headset connection.. Unfortunately, on the omni room , that is not present .

[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
I don't think it's about being enemies, but they are very different projects going on. CM is now Cyanogen Inc., a corporation... And Omni is fortunately aiming to free and open source (as far as I know). One just need to do the maths...
[Galaxy S III General] SiriusCybernetik:
Back when you were complaining about these broken features I think that no 4.4 based rom for the i9300 had them working or at least not all of them.

In the meantime these device-specific issues have almost all been solved and new Omni features are being implemented steadily. This is a 100% stable ROM and it is worth being tried.

Concerning battery use, I can make it for 2 business days of moderate to heavy use without recharging. (Google now must be deactivated).

My S4 colleague is jealous because he can't make it through the day without recharging.
[Galaxy S III General] guhvanoh:
Spirit FM is _the_ app for fm radio. Get it from play. There is also a thread dedicated to it here on xda.

On another side note, why don't you devs backport OmniSwitcher for use in other devices, it's a very shveet app, I have had the honor of testing it and boy is it AMAZING!!!
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
You should test disabling location services, Google Now, not using google keyboard, or trimming permissions from the apps that are eating more batt juice.

Or go for a fresh flash, using core gapps (try bank's) avoiding google's bloat. Then you decide if the battery consumption is worth it.
[Galaxy S III General] taniwhatuu:
Thanks for this. Is the usage I am getting normal though? It seems like I've got less battery usage. I was getting almost a full day a few versions ago

[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Today I noticed something I overlooked all the time: most of the time when I'm driving I'm listening to music or audiobooks that I stream over bluetooth. Today I used google navigation but just listened to the radio and now the battery was charging perfectly fine. So apparently the media service, music player (GMMP or AntennaPod), BT streaming or the combination must be responsible for the massive drain.

What's screen time? With moderate usage I'd expect around 4 hours screen on.

Trouble installing latest rom

Hi folk

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but new to this flashing my Galaxy S3.

I have tried installing the latest Rom for my GT-i9300 rooted phone but keep getting the error 7 and then it aborts.

I have restored it both times to 4.3 successfully. (Phew)

I have tied a couple of Roms specifically for this model but both give the same error.

Some of the post suggest I do not have the latest CWM

I have installed and backed up using recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2.

Every thing seems to go OK till it tries to unzip and load the Rom package.

I have tried both the following with the same result ?????

[Galaxy S III General] SiriusCybernetik:
I had this same issue with massive drain and wakelocks. It must have been related to google location search and the keyboard trying to connect to the internet while on wifi.

I solved it in the following way:

- Deactivate all location services and google now.

- clear app data of keyboard, search and most google services I could think of

- Reboot and all was fine again

Afterwards I progressively activated some location services. But not Google now, which I suspect being a battery eater.

Can anyone confirm if Snapchat video recording and Vine don't work on this?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
AFAIK snapchat / vine aren't compatible with any 4.4 roms at all. It's an issue that the app devs need to sort out, not rom devs.
[Galaxy S III General] habylab:
Well, that may be the case, but they did not work with 4.2 either. The issue on our device is the camera firmware not matching the phone version.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
That's not going to change until an official firmware is out, good luck with that. If the app dev's made a change it could work fine inspite of that problem.

An older problem..

Hiya,

Can anybody tell me if there's been a definitive fix for the No Sound in Call problem that was present in this and all the other AOSP Roms in the past. I don't hear anyone mentioning it anymore but after clean installing the latest nightly I couldn't make a call. Well I made the call and my phone showed it was connected but to the other person it just sounded dead on answer.

I had played a system sound previously which was supposed to have been the workaround. Rebooted the phone, played the lockscreen sound and the next call worked but it just appears to be random, the next one might not.

Thanks if anyone can help.
[Galaxy S III General] ilya.glants:
Enabling lockscreen sound worked for me. If it doesn't help, try enabling and disabling the speaker while in call.

Anyone can explain how to properly delete all the old stuff in a way all can understand? :)

Thanks so much
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
It's all the unused space on each partition more than likely, in the good ol' days we had tools to resize the partitions on the HTC Desire which was very good because the size between a stock ROM and aosp ROM was quite a hefty chunk being wasted. We could then reapportion this space for more apps/cache etc

You can't restore what you've never had since OmniRom doesn't come with root access built-in. Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip and problem solved.

Change your recovery to TWRP. Flash it with Odin or look for a flashable zip in the thread.

It's no crap, it's mainly the /system partition! I mean, the 16gb is split into partitions. Data is the one you see easily as 11fb. The other goes to swap, system and other rom stuff.

You can't get it back...

Flash new kernel after update

Hi to everyone,

I was wondering if there is an automated way to flash a custom kernel immediately after a system update, without having to wait for a complete reboot (in a similiar way to SuperSu script which allows not to lose root).
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
I havent used the opendelta stuff, but there should be a folder /OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate on your sdcard. There you could put in your kernel and it would get flashed after an update. Remember to use TWRP.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
If you came from a rom with Android 4.1, then the problem is most likely the "missing" mount. check /data/media for any folders that contain stuff you recognize, your internal storage is mounted under /data/media/0 with a symlink from /data/media/legacy. CWM also stores backups under /data/media/cwm, you could sit with backups in there which the rom cant see. This is actually a very good call since it prevents a user from accidentally wiping backups which were stored under /scard
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
That's would work just bear in mind any major changes between releases might break compatibility with 3rd party kernels in which case you will boot loop.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

I think 11.35 Is probably as close as your going to get, once rounding down is taken into account (16gb should be 16 384 mb but in reality it's 16 000 mb or 15.6gb) to lose 4gb to a system partition ain't much.

Bear in mind an s4 running stock has less than 8gb available storage.
[Galaxy S III General] guachanchoya:
I haven't a 16Gb thumb drive for test but my sdcard is a 32Gb one. Only lose 2,7Gb after partition it on a fat32 file system so a 16Gb drive will lose around 1,4Gb. Still missing 3,3Gb. Maybe they are used for system and stuff.

I know S4's only come with 8gb left for user applications, how crap, but why doens't appear, on application manager, 16Gb total space/8,83Gb left for user application? Is stupid to make ppl wrong with these matters about memory.
