That will make it move faster but won't solve the lack of smoothness. I'm not criticising, we are missing HWC samsung sources so it's expectable to have those problems, but comparing AOSP builds, some deal with it a bit better in the final result. In my experience, CM an AOKP have a smoother result, closer to stock samsung (yet not quite). I have the intuition that there must be something about not using dirty code, but we must admit they are better in that field.

Still, I keep choosing Omni, this is more about trying to understand things better, that's all. And in my case, I'm very curious about that commit regarding some libs to be ported from nexus... But I don't know if the team will be willing to experiment with that, or if I the guy posting that just misunderstood and it was never meant to be merged for i9300.
[Galaxy S III General] tanqueta207:
I don't know if I'm agree with you, I think that OMNI runs just like CM. By the way, CM is open source and I think that OMNI developers knowing that certainly look for answers for the HWC there too. Is just my idea. :silly:

I'm from Argentina too.
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Yeah, it's very subjective, but as I've asked other people most agree about a difference in graphics. I know CM and Aokp are open source too, but I believe Omni has a different approach, at least if compared to Cyanogen Inc. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] grappapapa:
is there any way to customize the quicksettings tiles? i have the boeffla kernal, and the config app, which lets me pick a few options about the quicksettings, but i am quite greedy and want more ;) the one thing i especially miss is the camera quicksetting tile...

i have tried xposed and gravity box [KK], but the settings for quicksettings i set in gravitybox are not applied to the system, even after rebooting. other gravity-box settings work fine.

regards,

chris

i have used OMNI,i feel battery performance is not up there with the other ROM.. is anybody facing the same problem??in idle battery backup is ok.. but when i connect wifi/3g it drains faster. hardly getting 2hrs of screen time.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Well, Omni is superior to sammy in almost every way , only thing that buggs me is laggy 3D and sometimes even 2D stuff , i really hope this new HWC commit fixes that so we can enjoy this rom 100% :cool:

Has anyone tried some private builds with that commit , if yes could you give some short review on 3D and 2D stuff compared to current builds ?
[Galaxy S III General] jorgen2009:
If you are talking about this commit then, yes I have. It does feel a lot snappier. I have no benchmarks or anything, but scrolling and opening/closing the App drawer is better.

If there is anyone interested in a build with just this single cherrypick, let me know and I'll see if I can upload one. I'm compiling one as we speak. Big warning though, the camera is borked
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Please do upload it , id like to test it
[Galaxy S III General] GeeckoDev:
Don't bother with this cherry-pick, it doesn't improve anything on its own. What you are experiencing is called "Placebo effect". Read more here.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
So wait , this commit on its own dosent do ANYTHING , but along with some other commits it will do wonders ?
[Galaxy S III General] GeeckoDev:
Yes. It's just a requirement for the framebuffer driver update. Don't bother with it for now ;)
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Oke , thank you very much man , hope you guys make it !
[Galaxy S III General] aliw32619:
What about my question ? It's a bit risky
[Galaxy S III General] lopiop:
may I ask what you're working on is it only specific to the note 1 or other exynos devices (like the s3)?
[Galaxy S III General] GeeckoDev:
All Exynos 4 devices, 4412 and 4210. So it targets Galaxy S2/S3, Note/Note2, and some tablets too.
[Galaxy S III General] jorgen2009:
ah well, placebo or not, this new development is looking very promising. Thanks a lot @GeeckoDev and all others involved.

Here's my build anyway, so I didn't compile it in vain and you can all experience the placebo effect yourself:laugh:. Please make a good backup of your current ROM, cause you WILL want to get back to a working camera- and videoplackbacksystem again. This is a plain OmniROM with only this commit:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwNDN4ITQ7phWWF4akY5eGQyZms/edit?usp=sharing

MD5: 3c8dea09a49beaf3fde5ce8a85643589

I'll be watching this development closely and spit out some new builds on demand when there is something new

Sound problems on omnirom 20140216-i9300 nightly and before.

I have the same problem as 1. described above. To listen to music, I have to start playing it over the speakers and then plug in the headphones. Otherwise it plays without sound. Then if I close the music player (google music player) and open another app of lock the screen, the music disappears again but the player plays on. Just no sound on the headphones. As soon as I unlock, the music plays again as if it had not stoped at all. The player does not pause or stop the playback during that time,the seconds go on in the indicator.
[Galaxy S III General] oportista17:
I have a small problem, my phone keeps freezing by doing all kind of tasks, opening browser, messages, etc, and it takes a lot of time (10m) to unfreeze, sometimes i have to force reboot or unplug the battery.

This problem also occurs on CM (latest betas), and with stock kernel or Boeffla Beta.

What could be the problem? I have the same apps, and nothing changed on my phone...
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
Does a clean flash help?(include format /system when you wipe data/factory reset)

If not? Can it be sds?

off topic:

Check emmc version and fw with "eMMC brickbug check".

Try to run "dummy file generator" which sould trigger the freeze.

Flash a new sammyrom and se if it goes away?
[Galaxy S III General] oportista17:
Right now it's frozen for 1 hour, i was trying to add a new Widget...

I think it's not SDS, i already run the program, the phone frooze for some time, but the result was Sane Chip.

I'll try to fully format my phone and install the sammy rom, and check if it freezes or not.

[Galaxy S III General] Teura:
What am I missing with Omniswitch? Every time I go to the Omniswitch app and turn it on, I can't see it or activate it. Then upon leaving and re-entering the app the switch will be off again. Changing any of the options will work stick, but even with enable on boot checked I can't see anything, and the main switch will be off if I enter the app. Currently using nightly from 18th, although I also had this behaviour with nightly from 9th.

Even if I go to Settings -> More and check to use Omniswitch instead of recents, I still get the default recents menu.

Edit: Nevermind, I managed to get it working somehow. Dunno what I did, but it is working.
[Galaxy S III General] andyleenz:
Just wanna say a huge thanks to the dev who fixed the lock screen unlock animation ! It has been quite stuttery and glitchy since the new lock screen blur feature. Has been driving me nuts since I'm one of those ocd type people. So glad its fixed. Thank uuu
[Galaxy S III General] SiriusCybernetik:
Don't worry, SDS has nothing to do with flashing roms.

If your phone suffered SDS you were going to have it sooner or later anyways. Flashing or not.

My phone had SDS without ever flashing anything on it until that moment.
[Galaxy S III General] tanqueta207:
Hi, I also had that problem some time ago. My S3 symptoms were that my phone suffer random freezes and It had the Ariza patched baseband installed. Other thing that i could watch was that the freezes started only after I install the gapps, if I didn't install them the phone never freezes...

The solution was reinstall some Stock Rom 4.3 with Odin and a patched modem. After that i can install any custom ROM without any freeze. Here is the link:

Hi everyone,

which of the current nightly version can be recommended. I'm outdated the the version from 2013-30-30 which gives me a superior battery live. Just want to prevent i'm getting any worse. Thanks

I had the same issue with 20-02 for about 20% of all calls - Enabling screen lock sound and reboot seems to have fixed this for me. I have not experienced any problems with no sound in call since then.

Thanks for this great ROM! Works perfect in combination with the latest Boeffla kernel!
[Galaxy S III General] gimmick56:
Hi,

is it possible that the Rom does not show the IMEI.

I have flash with TWRP 2.6.3.1 and all works so far ok, connections (mobile data/wifi) and so on. But it show IMEI as unknown.

I have flashed the Rom now 4 times but all time the same result. And it´s correct that there is no dialer keyboard

thanks in advance for help

many regards

EDIT

get my IMEI back with restore only the dialer keyboard is not available

EDIT2

flash the Rom again with full wipe incluge data media and now all works great
[Galaxy S III General] teppe498:
Flashed latest nightly 22-02 all is good now. Nice
[Galaxy S III General] steebro:
Everything working in last nightly, except two thing I found:

cracking sound while making video, for example in a concert/filming video clip compared to stock S3 4.3 ( I compared it with my friend stock S3 in same conditions)

strange MP4 sampling/encoding of recorded video

instagram crashes when uploading video, works on stock S3 rom

About strange MP4 encoding: every video I make with my omnirom S3 can't be played if I copy it to my all stock Tab3 or to my friend s3

If I remember correctly there were some other users who reported cracking sound when making video

Does someone has an explanation?

BTW good rom, keep up the good work! :)
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Hey , [MENTION=5145944]GeeckoDev[/MENTION] , hows that HWC stuff going on , are you guys closer to figuring it out ?
[Galaxy S III General] GeeckoDev:
Still working on it. I merged the new framebuffer driver, now the kernel bootloops for a reason I can't figure out and I don't have the serial cable to debug it (paulk from Replicant can help me with that tomorrow). It will also need some more work on platform files in the kernel.

If I ever get it to run on the Note, you are 100% guaranteed it will be working on all the other Exynos 4 devices sooner or later, but it will need some more work and testing. Also I predict that a lot of things will break with the update, for example screen sleep/resume will not recover at all, so it will need more work to workaround that.

Please be patient :good:

playback problem

For those, with headphone/aux problem. (Audio is not played back with headphones/aux)

This is the mic/audio bug written in first post. You have to sacrifice "Ok Google" word. Disable "hot word" in Google now setting and playback would be fine (till you use mic again of course)

is there any official mod sharing page/thread for this rom?

this is the official thread for the rom which i know. i asked if there is any thread which is only about mods/patches for the rom. reading throughout the post is time consuming.

Getting a problem this morning with the latest nightly, trying to update via the opendelta method. This has work time and time before (like 10+ times), but this morning it downloads the latest nightly, boots into TWRP (v 2.6.3.1), tries to run the flash, but then shows error :

Installing '/sdcard/OpenDelta/omni-4.4.2 ..........

Checking for MD5 file ...

Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found

Verifying zip signature

Guys... are any of you using My Tracks on this ROM?

- This morning I got up on my bike for the first time this year to do the 20 km I have to get to work, and as always I started up My Tracks to record the trip. Arriving to work and turning on the screen again to stop the recording I was still at home according to the app.

This might be a one time only incident, but if it isn't... I'm not sure how to search for the reason as to why it didn't track me.

[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
In fact, you didn't and don't need to put SuperSU on FlashAfterUpdate at all, you just need to enable the script.

About the zips in FlashAfterUpdate, you have to untick "Secure" in OpenDelta (System Updates) so that TWRP can flash them.

That just means that parts of the samsung kernel source 12 have been merged. You most likely wont notice any difference. It was already merged in the 18th nightly.
