Hey guys,

Just bought my S3 today, now my question is.. Are there any non-nightlies here? Have searched but couldn't find any stable one,

Or what would you guys requirement?

Greetz a new S3 user.

EDIT: Downloaded boeffla's 2.4-beta 7 kernel for OmniROM, now I need to choose a proper build.

Anyone?
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
Galaxy S3 is quite an old device now, not really maintained much by CyanogenMod. We do not have an active maintainer.

I would recommend Nameless ROM we have some excellent devs who are achieving the unachievable

Baseband unknown on 30/11 nightly

Any solutions?

Recovered baseband and imei but now im not getting network.

Any solution?

Tried flashing modem file?
[Galaxy S III General] Deadpool:
Yup
[Galaxy S III General] kusic:
Once I have solved this finding the right latest official firmware for my device and going to stock back.

Checked all is working and then root and flash custom rom again.

(I have used stock rom precisely for my distribution e.g. T-mobile CZ and not playing with baseband anymore. )
[Galaxy S III General] jonners59:
Excellent BUILD!!!

Hats off this is the best ROM, no question. Tried loads.

My wife and I both have Samsung SIII GT I9300 smartphones and I have installed this ROM on both.

Version: 4.4.4-20141206-i9300-NIGHTLY

Build: omni_i9300-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 427

Now, whilst almost prefect have noticed a couple of problems, hoped to get a steer to fix.

Have noticed that I have VERY poor sound quality on outbound telephone calls via bluetooth (completely distorted), and recordings are not great, a bit harsh and distorted. recoding I mean sing a recording app to record conversations or the kids playing instruments.

Also the USB to HDMI does not work at all. Cannot connect to a screen or TV for presentations.

That's it. GREAT build.

Jonners
[Galaxy S III General] simono_pl:
hdmi not work on AOSP ROMs, this work only on stock rom. No sources from Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] jonners59:
Thanks. That is a shame and rather annoying. Is it expected to change.......?

Do you know anything about fixing the sound?
[Galaxy S III General] mchughman:
No. Sammy will not be releasing their sources.

Archidroid 3 has apparently fixed bluetooth sounds issues. But that is CM based, not omni.

Shame, but many thanks....

I've been having issues with OmniROM lately. It isn't able to access my 64GB MicroSD card, even though I can access it fine in TWRP 2.8.1.0. I even tried a wipe and re-install, and the issue is still prevalent. Is there a way to solve this?

Anyone managed to solve the issue of unable to use messaging apps on mobile data network and unable to detect WiFi on 5Ghz frequency?

I am on omni-4.4.4-20141216-i9300-NIGHTLY.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] mankidavu:
I am able to use whatsapp on mobile data,if that is what you refer as "messaging apps".

Not sure about the WiFi 5Ghz band.
[Galaxy S III General] k-semler:
I still cannot access my MicroSD card. It is formatted in FAT32, and I can access it fine from both my computer, and TWRP.
[Galaxy S III General] xRenol:
Yes, I am referring to WhatsApp.

Did you configure your APN for it to work?
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
You need to use the right APN provided by you carrier for mobile data to work.

It should work out of the box but you can double check your settings with your carrier!
[Galaxy S III General] xRenol:
Thanks.

Are you able to detect the WiFi on 5Ghz frequency?

Goodbye S3.

many thanks to all for the support.

I recently moved to Sony Xperia Z3 :victory:
[Galaxy S III General] mcgi5sr2:
It will still be possible to build a Lollipop version of OmniRom though. Follow the Gerrit, maybe produce your own unofficial build for everyone?
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
Well, according to @ Entropy512 they will stop the Nightlies for the S3.

So probably it is a time to move somewhere else than. So far nameless kitkat is doing fine for me. I have tried "back to n00t", but I just cant stand those touchwiz lags (but arter has done hell of the job) . Omnirom just spoilt me so much.
[Galaxy S III General] doug613:
Please post where to find older nightlies than are found at dl.omnirom.org?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] SolarAquarion:
The issue is that there aren't enough maintainers/developers for omnirom. If you want to do a bring up for the S3 and develop/maintain it, it'll get 5.0 nightlies.
[Galaxy S III General] mcgi5sr2:
I'll get back to you about this, still learning a lot but seems like Slim and Omni are very similar so thebring up could be close as well
[Galaxy S III General] KeTuRr74:
Try to uninstall them @ xRenol
[Galaxy S III General] k-semler:
Why does it seem that external MicroSD card support is unpredictable from release to release? There is nothing wrong with my MicroSD card, and it is formatted in FAT32. Windows, and Linux recognize it fine, as does TWRP 2.8.3.0, but OmniROM's recognition that I have any card inserted at all is sporadic. Is there a reason for this?
[Galaxy S III General] keyboard99:
Now I'm a newbie to the flashing phones game. My old S3 GT-I9300 was becoming a bit slow so I thought I'd give it a go.

I flashed using TWRP 2.8.3.0, omni-nightly 20150104, kernal 3.0.064-Omni-g4c96d3b and gapps-kk-20140606, loaded Nova Launcher

I'm finding my google play services are eating the battery. Also when I try and open maps I'm getting the google location pop up asking me if I want to send data to google, I press decline and the map app then doesn't work. As I'm new to this ROM having come from the Stock ROM where there was the "GPS" on/off in the swipe down menu, I am guessing the "location" button is the same thing.

I understand this maybe covered elsewhere in this huge thread, I am searching for answers incase in buried in here.

Cheers, any help or advice would be most welcome.

Omni-Rom for the S3 had died
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
4.4 has died for pretty much all devices Omni was on. There is no development for my Oppo Find 7 either, and that is a much newer device than the S3 (which I used to own, now passed on to my father)

[Galaxy S III General] andrewwright:
There is an unofficial omni build for i9300 out already. If there is some one willing to build from there source then we can have this "unofficially of course".
[Galaxy S III General] kusic:
omni is dead

Guys, I have moved to nameless 5.0.2, yes you have to make full wipe, but it is not bad at all.

I have used pa gapps micro, deleted android secure folder and android folder and so far it is almost as stable as Omni. It is Lollipop, AND camera is working great. No crazy overdriven sounds anymore. Clean nice soundtrack. So far I experience web browser crashes sometimes, but they are polishing...

How can i get root acess?
[Galaxy S III General] Adam3Sixty:
Here is ur answer.....

USE THE SEARCH BUTTON
[Galaxy S III General] gr1ff1n:
While the last update on the website was 'working on Lolipop', about 2 months ago, Github tells another story.

The source code seems to be actively updated. For eg, the latest timestamp for 'android_bootable_recovery' was 3 days ago:

So, it would seem that work is happening quietly behind the scenes, but it's not yet in a shape to go for 'nightly builds'.

[Galaxy S III General] romskii:
nope, with MG4 I had no signal :confused::confused: I tried latest sammy 4.3 modem now but it killed my efs
[Galaxy S III General] bbk:
Be carefull, just update the modem without the RIL :p
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
No one actually cares if you use art and apps force close. This is an experimental feature by google. Write to google and/or the app developer to fix it. Thats not omni's job.
[Galaxy S III General] biglew:
No problem here with imei, or efs just flashed new nightly ... Anyone else have this issue ?
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Stop using ART. Google added it as Experimental, meaning, test it, but don't expect much to work yet since most developers have not adopted the required changes. On almost every single page, in every single 4.4 rom thread, someone explains this. If you want a fully functional rom, use Dalvik. If you want to experiment, use ART. Just stop flooding the threads with "ART is giving me FC's"
[Galaxy S III General] bbk:
I post is just for explain why tzpm have a problem, not for having a solution.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Whats this "Sharpness bug" everyone is talking about ? Could someone explain please ?
[Galaxy S III General] Doppiadi:
I more or less agree, but reporting FCs might not be completely useless, omni devs can do fix them at least partially. Whatsapp was giving FC and the other they a patch was merged to omni to address exactly that (now it works) . Anyway until Google does not officially switch to ART, Dalvik has to be the priority.

On a side note (and no one cares, I know) on my setup everything is just fine even on ART.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
I personally tested ART this morning to see what the fuss was about. Random reboots, app FC's and device buttons not working caused to me just reflash. Using the recommended pa_gapps, latest SuperSU etc. Thing is, ART bugs should really be addressed to google, if you look through these threads, it's the same bugs over and over again. If I can read page by page, so can everyone else. Wading through pages of the same reports over and over is a discomfort to me, how must the devs feel when they see this over and over? My main gripe here, read the thread, post only relevant unreported bugs, that way our devs can spend time hunting bugs and not wading through these pages. Personally I eventually just skip over posts, hoping something catches my eye, if this happens to the devs, they might miss serious bugs.
[Galaxy S III General] TediTamo:
The Devs should mention in the title when this ROM is lastly updated! :confused:

They are nightly ROMs the latest will always be from the previous day :)

Main menu background transparency

Hey guys. I've scoured the net for more than 2 weeks but I cannot find a way on how to make my main menu background transparent.

It looks like this...http:/ /i61.tiny pic. Com/2 w2k8dy .png

It changed about 2 weeks ago after I updated a nightly and it has been that way ever since. I've also checked all settings on my phone but can't find the right one.

Thank you for the job.
[Galaxy S III General] whatsgood:
It is like that because of a google now launcher update. The update makes the launcher like that to match the material design UI of lollipop. Probably try and look for an Xposed module that will allow you to change the launcher settings, install a different launcher e.g. nova launcher, apex launcher or look for an earlier version of the google now launcher apk

OmniRom based on android 5.1?

Looking at the nightlies changelog (http://omni.cmxlog.com/4.4/i9300/), "initial Lollipop bringup" and "initial Lollipop 5.1 setup" have been included. Does it mean that an official OmniRom based on android 5.1 is already available? Thanks for the reply.

Hi there,

I've just installed the omni-4.4.4-20150408-i9300-NIGHTLY.zip, and so far everything is working great, except for one thing:

It seems that if I try to watch an online vide from the stock browser, the player gives me a black window (no video), but I can hear the sound just fine. I tried to search for this problem and it seems like this was experienced in the past but was fixed in later build?

Am I doing something wrong, or missing a fix for this ?

Thank you very much for this tutorial!

I had the issue with my S3 (Omnirom 4.4.4). Just would get stuck with the little Android, but do nothing else when trying to encrypt.

Only thing I needed was the google usb driver.

First adb didn't work under CWM Recovery, Windows would use the usb driver when the phone was fully booted up and adb was fine, but no adb when in Recovery.

I had to manually add the driver again in Windows once I was in recovery and it finally worked.... derp :D

Yes, and he's probably hiding from user threads until he's more comfortable. He's very new to this and so he's got quite the learning curve, but he's definitely learning. These things take time.

As to nightlies, we should've switched to weeklies ages ago. No one is working on 4.4 except for critical bugfixes (security backports mainly), everyone is working on 5.x, but for various reasons that has taken far longer than expected to get to the nightlies stage. (Some of the reasons are my own fault - in general, some of the core team members including myself weren't around much for the first four months of 5.0, and by the time we started getting caught up, 5.1 dropped.)
