Sorry for the slight OT, but according to Omni new year's review, we I9300ers are on top of builds downloads!! :good:

http://omnirom.org/general/omnirom-2013-year-review/

Congrats pals!
[Galaxy S III General] MrxSiN:
im not really surprise since the top of OMNI project is xplodwild, an ex maintainer of i9300 from CM :)
[Galaxy S III General] DJ BlackEagle:
It's not needed to flash supersu always again on update of omni.

You can setup supersu to create a backup script for alive.

I never rehash supersu.

See screenshot.
[Galaxy S III General] mtxx1:
is omni rom considering to add this feature? its a very useful feature, very rarely mentioned but highly useful especially on a big screen

when the notification tray is pulled down, swipe left/right at the white bar at the bottom to flip to quick settings.

this has always been in cm, and is very convenient as the user dont have to stretch the thumb all the way to the upper right to tap the quick setting button
[Galaxy S III General] LoganMcClay:
It's already implemented, at least on last nightly it works (31/12).
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
You should probably need the SuperSU zip if you format Data. Otherwise, as you well state, the inbuilt script will take care of SU and putting it into "flashafterupdate" would be redundant.

Yeah, but not only XplodWild, we got Rebellos doing some dirty work back there too, the legendary root Jedi aka Chainfire, and many other contributing with patches and improvements. I believe the team and truly open-source philosophy, together with great solid results (sometimes one would want to rush trying new things and merging code faster, but when you think it over and see how other projects trip on that stone, you must admire these guys patience) do the trick, at least for me.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

We are talking about the feature that lets you swap notificaciones and quicksettings with a swipe, aren't we? And you sure about it? I don't have it out of the box in 31st nightly, and can't find any settings to enable it. Can you point me into the right direction?
[Galaxy S III General] :
AFAIK, it was bundled with SlimBean toggles, and Omni recently switched to AOSPA toggles. Devs will need to implement this feature separately.
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
I'm sad to find out we lost the Zzmove Governor in stock kernel. Is this on purpose or will me coming back on future nightlies?
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:

Maybe related to that ?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I'm on 30/12 no issues with calling or otherwise, which nightly exactly are you running (sorry find the use of latest as some kind of identifier very inexact)
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Seems so. This guy dismisses a feature assuming it's causing bugs, but at the same time confessing he's uncertain about it (and nevertheless naming extra governors as crap). Hope devs have better reasons to merge his patch than what he states there.

As for me, back to custom kernels to achieve a decent battery life...
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
I asked a few pages back and got no response from anyone.

Has Unintrucive Calling been removed?? I really liked that little feature and now I can't find it anywhere.
[Galaxy S III General] mrbenbiz:
No It wasn't removed. You may activate it under Phone - Settings (press the 3 dots from right) and thick Non Intrusive.
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Yes, and it's activated by default.
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
Got it now :)

I had flashed PA GApps Google Dialer a while back, and it didn't have that bit in it, flashing a new nightly DIDN'T restore the original dialer.

Just added the original dialer from the Omni zip and its back again.

I'd rather have this setting than Google Dialer, lol.
[Galaxy S III General] anibalin:
Wow! thanks for this steps. Very clear to follow.

One question though, where is the modem involved here? Its embedded in the rom or something now? (I have only flashed cm before). If so, were could that be downloaded?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III General] Crythar:
Modem does not change when you flash cm or omni. You can download Perkas File Stash from Play Store (Collection of Modems, Odin and Recovery versions) to get the latest Modems. If you do not have any problems you should not change it
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Nope modem is not changed by Omni, so my advice is to stick with your current modem unless you have a specific issue.
[Galaxy S III General] ReBORN ViRUS:
Hello,

A very Happy New Year to all!

Wanted to share an issue I have been facing for long to check if its just my phone or a common bug -

I am currently on 12/30 nightly + Google Dialer. The following issue I was facing with stock dialer as well - if my phone is connected to car audio using BT and I answer a call and then in between choose Phone ear piece or loud speaker, I can hear the caller for couple seconds and then there's nothing, no sound. However if I go back to BT, I can hear the caller all fine again.

Any pointers will help. TIA!
[Galaxy S III General] imjustafq:
after more than a month.. finally i have flash lastest omni back to my fone.. improved a lot. smooth as silk.. after disabled the animations.. thanks dev. can smell the stable version already.. ?
[Galaxy S III General] ecclesiatic:
Just have to say that I haven't fallen in love with a ROM since Oxygen for the HTC Desire which feels like a life time ago. Mainly it was because of the way HTC did sense ui back then making me feel the necessity of trying new ways to get my phone to how I want it, how it should be IMHO.

With the SGS3 at 4.1.2 it simply didn't 'need' flashing a ROM it was solid and reliable. In fact I left all that behind as he battery life was finally as I desired (pun intended).

So when I saw earlier that the SGS3 users are the top for flashing this ROM I can only speculate that this is because of the same reason I am here: Samsung messed up. A little like HTC back then.

And after trying a few ROMs since and never truly getting into the whole cyanogen thing (truly appreciate their drive, innovation and tenacity but) I must say this is just what I need.

Thanks Team OmniRom. And happy new year to you all.

[Galaxy S III General] potworny:
The battery life is tremendous! Only three percent during last night. I've switched off the GPS, uninstalled Google Search (lots of wakelocks) and voila!

Also, devs, thank you very much for the advanced settings. Finally I could turn those back lights off.

Tremendous job!
[Galaxy S III General] kornelius1982:
Nice words indeed, but what about (probably unsolved) bugs with camera driver and deep sleep? :)
[Galaxy S III General] ecclesiatic:
Kornelius greetings, because I use Vignette camera (truly recommend it) which doesn't have the best ui but I truly like the app, ton of features and saves to SD card in a variety of ways... Which so far as I know the camera that comes with the ROM doesn't do. Long winded point being is I have never had any issues with the cam. As for deep sleep, that has not affected me as of yet so cannot report on.

The only issues I have noticed are the very annoying mobile alert thingy ( well... Its not very annoying only crushes my ego when I think that I'm getting a message and its not lol)

...And my calls sound dropping out occasionally where I can't hear but can be heard. This is quickly remedied by double tapping the loud speaker button during the call. Something that I can live with.

All said I know enough that mileage varies person to person, my 'problems' are manageable for now and at such an early stage in life OmniRom is sure to have some bumps in the road. So I'll be patient and hopeful.

I mean sheesh OTA updates for a ROM? That's magical!

And thats coming from a reformed crackflasher. Formerly reformed anyway lol ( pusherman in my pocket).

Sorry I do tend to bang on...

Happy new year.
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
When u say uninstalled Google Search, what did u remove?

I have disabled Google Now and that has saved a large amount of battery but anything else to save would be great.

I am a VERY high usage person, and I usually only ever have to charge my phone over night, can get 10 to 15 hours on one charge.

On my setup flash player works fine, I'm using Firefox.

About ongoing problems, as far as I'm concerned the only real one right now is the broken audio while playing two tracks simultaneously (music + lockscreen for example) and the other minor things already known: displayed 3G signal meter, mounting position of the ext SD and the virtual option button appearing even if we have a physical one.
[Galaxy S III General] habylab:
According to the OP, camera. Generally, smoothness too.
[Galaxy S III General] Rebellos:
There is. And it is incoming!
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
It's only annoying because you are focussed on it. I have honestly never paid attention to it at all. Just wait for this rom to reach stable before posting about irrelevant features that does not disable the working of the rom. If it breaks the system, post the bug, if its just a niggle, be patient.

Why network signal shows only 1 tower?
[Galaxy S III General] Sormus:
Thank you for reading the thread.

[Galaxy S III General] indresh88:
Temasek version works well with signal
[Galaxy S III General] Doppiadi:
I think something has been changed too. I installed the just released beta Boeffla kernel for Omni and adjusted the mDNIe to softer settings until it won't be possible to do so within the rom settings.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
But this isn't temaseks build, is this cosmetic issue such a drag?

This is cosmetic issue, guys wrote that signal is only bad showed.

[Galaxy S III General] adrianfordcrush@yahoo.co.:
Thanks omni for this excellent alpha ROM. Nightly from the 18th working great on Boeffla omni kernel, camera and video playback working.

I have found a problem with the WiFi hotspot, it enables but cannot be seen by other devices. Can anyone else check to see if it's working for them?
[Galaxy S III General] potworny:
I uninstalled the application itself. I'd rather open Chrome and type my search there.

I have the BetterBatteryStats application installed and I use it to identify battery hungry apps.

The worst battery sucker was the GPS used very often by Google services.

Then Google Search...

Now the only thing that sucks mu batt ;) is the screen.

I switch GPS back on only for navigation.

I noticed that the proximity sensor was always on, eventhough pocket mode is desactivated. Has anybody noticed this, is it normal and wouldn't it drain the battery ?
[Galaxy S III General] samisax:
Are you using ActiveDisplay? If yes, that's normal. If not, it might be a bug. How did you find out about the issue? Let me know so I can test it on my phone. If we both have the problem, it may be a bug that the devs might want to look at. If I don't have the problem, you might need a clean flash.

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S III General] monty fw:
Thanks for your answer ! I used to have ActiveDisplay on, but I turned it off and the sensor was still on the whole day. I rebooted my phone and the issue looks to be resolved for now so cheers !

I noticed it because I use my phone in the dark a lot, the sensor closest to the front speaker should get "redish" when the sensor is activated. You can see this when answering from a call (and compare it with your phone off for example).

But I don't see the point of having the sensor on with ActiveDisplay when pocket mode is off, as far as I know it only uses it to guess when the phone gets out of your pocket
[Galaxy S III General] DirtyWizard:
I know there is a lot of talk about the camera issues (and there are different onces).

I ask you this.. if your at Android 4.0.4 official stock everything or you've already flashed a custom recovery or root or rom or kernel on a previous Android version (i.e. 4.1.2) AND you jump to Android 4.4.2 OmniRom TWRP Root will it get every setting and recovery and file structure and microsd card and camera and video all working perfectly?

[Q] Change recovery

Hello, im having some questions about changing recovery while currently running OmniROM, my current recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.4, so here is my question (s) before i do something stupid that i will regret ^^

Can i flash TWRP through ODIN while my current rom is OmniROM?

Can i flash TWRP through Mobile Odin if my current rom is OmniRom?

(In case i need to change to a stock rom)

If i make an backup of my current rom in CWM can i then restore it in TWRP after the recovery change?

Thanks in advance, have a great new year :D

Yes can be flashed through odin without any problems. But you cannot restore your cwm backups with twrp. You would have to flash back to cwm to restore them.
