I have the same problem, though not for the same test case. I think it is related to a known issue : "- Headphones playback path gets nuked if using microphone while listening to music. (Requires reconnecting headset)".

Basically if I follow the steps on your test case everything would work fine. But in step 2, if I launched a music app instead of Youtube, it wouldn't and everything you described after would apply to me. The weird thing is if I get back to Youtube after launching the music app and before fixing the problem, the sound in Youtube wouldn't work anymore.

I have the same temporary solution as yours for the moment, though it is not very convenient.

The red light is due to active display (and not only pocket mode). Disable it and reboot, and it won't be on 24/7 anymore (you'll also loose active display obviously).

Please help

I did everything right, but i ended up in a boot loop, factory reset doesnt help, or reflashing the rom or gapps, i have newest cwm and i dont get any errors in it while flashing the rom or gapps...

i dont know what to do, i guess im stuck on 4.3 untill i get a solution

Does somebody know a solution for this, my phone bootloops on every 4.4 rom, and no solution works for me , i can flash any rom with 4.3 or lower
[Galaxy S III General] monty fw:
I had the same issue with CWM, I flashed TWRP through odin and reflashed, everything went smoothly
[Galaxy S III General] leostimac:
Thanks for trying to help, ill try it and see if it will help ;)

Can this Rom solve my I9300 Not registered on Network?

Hello, please, i have tried all possible methods on different treads, yet i do not have a solution to my I9300 not registered on Network. I was just thinking of installing this OMNi Rom and will be glad to know if it can restore my phone back to normal. As it is currently, the phone is not registering on network. I have tried AZ..Patch, tried already patched modem, yet no solution.

Can this ROM help me get my phone back?
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
I'd say it's unlikely to help as Omnirom doesn't touch the efs so you will retain your existing modem.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Omni or any aftermarket Rom will most likely not help you. You might try these steps:

1) install the lasted Samsung stock using Odin (ideally including "triangle-away", see step 3)

2) if you still have no luck: perhaps your SIM card has gone bad, so try with a friend's one

3) if you still have no luck: try to get your phone fixed by your phone vendor

Good luck.

Flashed Omnirom yesterday - works great - EVEN THE CAMERA WORKS!! (i was on CM11, where the camera was VERY temperamental).

Thanks Omni Developers, great work.
[Galaxy S III General] Roman91:
guys there are 2/3 little things to fix:

-softkey light must should light up only when pressing softkeys and not always

-in some apps there are always the three google menu points (only for nexus devices ...we have softkey)

-when use the camera and then swipe to photos, there's something wrong with the rendering because photos are blurry ..only when zooming they loads property
[Galaxy S III General] Crythar:
I don`t really think that the menu points should be disabled. I disabled softkey light and changed them like on nexus devices, so I need them
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
1* it think yank555 kernel has this feature? You can turn them off, what good does it do if they light up when you already pressed on them?

2* I think the action overflow (menu button) is persistent with kitkat.

And devs please Dont remove it.

3* notised that to.
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
As you can see here, according to Google "Menu" button is a deceased one..

Quoting someone,

"Always show overflow buttons on action bars

The menu button is not pining, it's passed on! This button is no more!

It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a

stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to a

flagship device it'd be pushing up the daisies!

THIS IS AN EX-BUTTON!!"
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Yet I still fail to see why it should be a bad thing to have a dedicated menu button. At least I always know where it is (vs. searching the GUI for it). I recently had the opportunity to configure an iPad, which in celebration of simplicty has only one remaining HW button. Pure and unfiltered nightmare.
[Galaxy S III General] ArcherGT2:
Have you tried flashing the 4.3 TouchWiz stock ROM first??? I understand that it upgraded the modem to a new standard or version. Then you should flash Omni
[Galaxy S III General] leostimac:
i tried twrp and it didnt work, it gave me errors, i guess its not the newest version, but i downloaded it from their website....
[Galaxy S III General] Roman91:

[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
And land yourself with a whole heap of trouble, i personally recommend people avoid the 4.3 official and skip straight to Omni.

[Galaxy S III General] monty fw:
As audinswfc said you need 2.6.3.1 . Besides I recall also having an error (something related to the signature), so I unchecked the signature verification before flashing the rom. This error never appeared again on the following updates.

Big problem

Hi Guys,

Everything is working fine this morning when I updated the 01-06 nightly. When I went to sleep, I left my phone downloading some patch for some game I am playing. When I woke up, the phone is just frozen. When I restore to recovery, the screen is just white and I cannot flash my backup. Any idea why is my phone doing this?

Please help. I am really at a loss here. :(

Hi Sir,

I believe this is the "downloading... please dont turn off target!!" on the screen right? How long should I wait? How do I even know it is really downloading?

Any idea why this happened?
[Galaxy S III General] adrien_razvan:
This might help... make sure you flash a stock rom for i9300

Download the stock rom for you're country from here

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ "search for i9300"
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Can you please try and read the first page of the thread before flashing a ROM, or even search the thread. You need to flash the supersu zip from chainfire to give you root.
[Galaxy S III General] carlallanvela:
Hi Sir,

I flashed it as instructed and as I said earlier, everything's working ok the whole day. I'm not sure how, but when I woke up (it's 3 am here), my phone's just frozen, so I tried to restart and I get the white screen.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
I can't tell for sure but as far as I understand delta update it will pack any files which have changed. So, supposed you have uninstalled the calendar and via delta update you get an updated portion(!) of calendar, you might end up with a half-installed calendar. In the best case this does not hurt, but in the worst case it might confuse other parts in the system (for example the apps repository).

I think the better solution for you is to freeze any apps you don't like using titanium backup. That's what I usually do with the stock browser, Email and Gmail.

Disclaimer: this contains a some guesses about delta update and TB's freeze function, any corrections or additions from experts will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] jesterpaul:
I would treat as a soft bricked device. Can you pot device into download mode? If so, download Sammy stock ROM image, and flash using Odin, then re-oot and flash custom recovery, ROM etc from there.
[Galaxy S III General] Crythar:
I think open delta just compares the zip in open delta folder and adds the changes and matches them to a new zip. But then it actually flashes the whole zip (not only changed parts)
[Galaxy S III General] jesterpaul:
Anyone else notice 6/01/14 nightly doesn't boot with ART as runtime type? (I know it's not supported, but curious if it's just me or not)
[Galaxy S III General] taniwhatuu:
Kiaora, I didn't realise ART wasn't supported. Are you absolutely sure about this?

I've been using ART since November and is running fine here.

Where did you get that information from please?

Sent by having to tap and slide on my screen way too much
[Galaxy S III General] samisax:
I don't understand the advice people are giving you on this. Obviously none of them have tried this yet. What happens is that after the update, all system apps are reinstalled, including the media player and calendar apps. These apps are in the opendelta zip and are reflashed with the entire ROM during the update. The update doesn't only flash the updated parts. OpenDelta downloads the updated parts, merges them with your last nightly, and creates a full new zip, which it then flashes. During the update, you can see in recovery that the installation wipes /system, and then flashes your ROM onto it, so that just proves what I just said. You have a fresh /system partition after every update.

I actually uninstall a ton of system apps everytime I update, including the launcher, the music app, video player, live wallpapers, etc.. Ideally, I'd find out how to create a flashable zip which uninstalls these apps and put it in the flashafterupdate folder. I'll figure it out when I have the time.

So, the answer is: You won't have any issues, they'll just come back after the next update. Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Hence I recommended to freeze the unwanted apps, which survives the update. What do you not understand in that advice?
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
Which GApps do you recommend?

PA GApps? Banks GApps? CM GApps?
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
ART is available but not officially (more a less like if you flash a custom kernel) supported. Meaning any bugs or problems you might have won't be considered if you aren't con Dalvik.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:

[Galaxy S III General] jesterpaul:
I got this information when switching to ART. A pop up warning ells you specifically that Omni (and CM on any CM11 ROM for that matter) do not support ART, and you should switch to it at your own risk. It also states not to file bug reports if you are running ART.

Is your device working on 6/01/14 release with ART? I also was using it for a long time, but have been unable to on this nightly (with both upgrade (dirty flash) or even after doing clean install)

Thanks. Darn well stumped why it won't boot on ART for me.

Even on a clean install as soon as I switch runtime to ART it goes for a reboot as it should, but hangs on the green blinking Android. Waited as much as 15 minutes for it to progress to home screen. Nada!

Ditto with 07/10/14 nightly

Any suggestions?:confused::confused:

EDIT: UPDATE. Clean flashed again without Banks gapps (previous attempts I also flashed these gapps). It rebooted after switching to ART.

Will try PA gapps instead.

Now its giving me the error cant mount /preload , and i ended up in a bootloop again, but this time after a battery pull my cap. Buttons light up when i touched my screen ...

It's either Com port error or no pit partition.
[Galaxy S III General] N-TheAndroNoob:
Actually, the reason I switched was because most of the functions in OmniROM, didn't work. I am all for OmniROM, but it wasn't ready to be my daily driver and honestly even I wasn't ready for it. So thats that. When I see a 'stable' tag in a build's name, I will kill the people waiting in line just to get it.
[Galaxy S III General] samisax:
This is perfect. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Sorry, but what you're stating is not true. You say "most of the functions in OmniROM didn't work". What functions? I'm using Omni right now, and everything works just fine. Even the camera that's still glitchy in CM11. In my opinion, Omni is working much better right now, even when CM will probably get there soon. And I can't see any important features which work in CM and not in Omni. Please sahre with us what's not working in Omni and that is working good in CM11, maybe we can learn something.

That said, you choose whatever you want to use in your phone, so go ahead and enjoy! That's the good thing about rooting... you can go for community based open source, Sammy, Cyanogen Inc., it's your decision! But you need to be more precise and realistic about your opinions, cause there is people reading and otherwise it's unfair.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Both right, my mistake. I used to use that patch when Advanced Settings weren't available, and since now I'm on a custom kernel that does it out of the box, I forgot we already had that option natively. Gonna delete the link in my post to avoid misleading other users!
[Galaxy S III General] taniwhatuu:
Oh I see what you mean now. Yes, Mine works fine with ART. I haven't had any unusual issues with it so far with any apps. No, its not directly supported but works. I am also noticing a few 3rd party apps have begun updating, stating that they have update to support ART.

My S3 is running pretty smooth and stable now thanks to the devs for their hard work! I did do a comparison a while back to compare the difference between Davlik and ART performance and I can say I did notice a decrease in load times and a snappy feel. But I can't confirm that this was the case. It could be one of those placebo moments :)
[Galaxy S III General] jesterpaul:
Yeah, I got mine going by wiping and doing a clean install and switching to ART before installing Gapps. I had not been able to boot in ART after installation including Banks Gapps earlier.

I am now using PA ones and all is running smooth as silk using ART runtime.

[Galaxy S III General] Creeper36:
Wow.. finally found this answer.. sharing.

** TWRP Automatic Kernel and/or Superuser Flashing:

"/sdcard/OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate/". You'll also find the most recent OTA in the OpenDelta folder.

If you change your settings in "Settings" - "About Phone" - "System Updates" to deselect "Secure" then anything you put in the FlashAfterUpdate folder will be flashed after the update but before reboot. Since the update can wipe certain things (Kernels, Superuser) this is a way to set them back each time automatically instead of having to manually redo a bunch of things.
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
It's probably worth mentioning that his Kernel is designed for omnirom and works like a dream, no issues whatsoever.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

But as previously discussed Mr Creeper, you don't need to flash Superuser if it's setup correctly.
[Galaxy S III General] Creeper36:
REPLY TO: "But as previously discussed Mr Creeper, you don't need to flash Superuser if it's setup correctly. "

Correct. Ive been using Boeffla Kernel and it does need to be reflashed after the nightly is installed (found here http://alturl.com/bbagg ) .
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Xposed would cause bootloop with ART, as it's incompatible. To avoid this it rests runtime to dalvik.
[Galaxy S III General] wadken1:
Yep. Agreed. Just tested with a clean install and no Xposed. System rebooted correctly with ART and all seemed to work well including Viper4Android. Install Xposed on top does indeed reset runtime to Dalvik.

Have to say that for the few minutes I had it running on ART the system did seem a little more responsive but no startling performance improvement .
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
I also use the Boeffla Kernel and of course that needs to be flashed. I was only referring to Super User.

You do have quick settings customization since about a week. For the rest, true, but from my point of view are less than marginal. Not that you said otherwise, but the user I was answering to, implied "everything is not working", so...

Again, it's dumb to argue about "what's the best.." but it's also mean to say nothing's working when it is. For instance, I prefer Omni over CM, as a personal choice (I think it's best to support community and truly open source projects, and not corporations - but by no means I believe everyone should think likewise), but won't get into CM's thread to say "blahblahblah nothing works Mr. dev".
