Now its a great rom !!!

i ve been a way for like one month from this rom, and today i installed the latest nightly, and i'd say im very very pleased with everything this rom has to offer, now almost all the features i need are there, and just works flawlessly. i also installed latest twrp as i was on philz recovery, and cant wait to try the incremental update to see how it works .

thnx guy for this great rom , and im pretty sure it will be even better with time passing.

so far only issue i ve also seen in all 4.4 builds is the transaprent screen when some one is calling you while your phone is locked, on when you are not using non-intrusive dialog for incoming calls, i dont know anything about building roms, but it doesnt seem something to difficult to be fixed, i was wondering how come it havent been fixed yet. anyways....

cheers :)

I just checked the size of the nightly zip file in the opendelta folder and it is 289 mb. Is that right, how come it is significantly larger than the normal nightly?
[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
Switched from CM to OmniRom , Enjoying it so far . Delta update and network speed indicator is really awesome .

Was curious to know if network speed indicator eats up extra battery?
[Galaxy S III General] sherlock5545:
Because it patches the original zip but doesn't compress it. You're still not downloading that much anyway, each update is about 30Mb/40Mb.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] pippoaacc:
Since I've read that this zip previously disables all other scripts in init.d folder, i preferred to extract it and manually copy the script in init.d, then renamed it by leaving out the .sh extension as in other scripts in the folder. Then I've set proper permission, but after reboot I still don't get my sd. Perhaps some errors in the procedure?

[Galaxy S III General] Sheeezy:
does the latest nightly have navbar ?

If it does, can you customize the buttons ?
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
To enable navbar: You can ad qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop or create a local.prop in /data (so its not removed when updating nightlys)

No you cant customize the navbar in rom settings. (I cant)
[Galaxy S III General] carlallanvela:
My phone finally got bricked after religously dirty flashing the nightlies. I am not sure if this is because I've always been dirty flashing that my phone got corrupted and eventually got bricked. Guys, is this the case?

I had the motherboard replaced and I flashed the latest nightly yesterday. The lesson I learned is always wipe everything.
[Galaxy S III General] lopiop:
We're you using delta update or manually flashing the nighties?
[Galaxy S III General] carlallanvela:
I'm manually flashing the nightlies. Which is a bad idea.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
No, your device was bricked due to something else. I have been manually flashing zips since my 1st Android device 3/4 years ago. Fiddling with kernel settings, flashing via odin and not doing it correctly are most likely the cause here. Sometimes, it's just a bad device, even with the most stringent quality testing, this can happen. It might even have been flashing a corrupt zip, but definitely not dirty flashing. Case in point, Temasek dirty flashes every single update he releases.
[Galaxy S III General] carlallanvela:
Nice! I can continue dirty flashing then.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
Using OpenDelta to update the rom basically amounts to a dirty flash anyway. It downloads a update, patches the original zip and then dirty flashes using TWRP. If it was a danger to the device, I doubt the devs would have implemented this.
[Galaxy S III General] ShironLive:
So, I've been lurking for some time now, but I'm not sure if the rom is stable enough for daily use, could anyone clear that for me ?

And tell me some off the downfalls of the rom ?

And do I just flash the rom on my stock rooted phone, or do I need a new kernel ?
[Galaxy S III General] petrolcan:
Omni has been my daily driver since they started nightly releases, stable as a stable thing.

No downfalls AFAIAC but it is not, as yet, as customisable as other available ROMs.

Just use the kernel that comes with Omni, I do.

If its enabled for 10 seconds you have 10 seconds after display turned off to turn it on by just tapping on the screen. Usually you would have to use power button or home button.

Hey guys! One question: I'm using boeffla kernel at the moment. But my battery life is not as good as I think it could be ;)

I use this kernel and it works well for me. I set the governor to zzmoove and the profile to battery extreme yank. And finally the scheduler to deadline.

I also perform some jiggery pokery with Tasker for further savings.

Having said all that 18hrs of regular use seems ok to me. I get in the 20's regularly.

It works ok for me. What runtime are you using?

Although I won't be using it anyway, I'm not sure I see the point.
[Galaxy S III General] Adler12:
Normally I see that there is an update and activate "Install now".

Then the update is installed and the phone restarts.

This time it stops in recovery and ask where the Installfile is.

So I open OpenDelta, selected the file and installed it.

After restarting SuperSu was gone. so I have to flash it again.

Switching to speaker or earset from BT during a call gives no audio

Hi folks,

I thought I would discuss here one issue I have with Omni, maybe someone could help out.

The following happens when using a BH214 BT headset paired with the phone (same thing happens using the car kit instead of the headset).

1) make a call, sound is fine

2) switch to telephone earpiece: no sound

3) switch to telephone speaker: no sound

4) switch back to BT, sound is fine

I will gladly post logs eventually.

Thank you

P.S. Yes I have used the search button....

[Galaxy S III General] Erik142:
Hi! I don't know if this is the "Music corrupted" bug that has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but after a while when I listen to music and the screen is locked, the music does a hickup for probably half a second. Easiest way to reproduce it is to just play some music, lock the screen and wait for the lag to happen. Although I listen to music all day long everyday, I have not yet found a pattern when the music hickups. I have attached two logcats below as the hickup happen. One file (logcat.txt) is a little longer logcat as it happens, and the other file (logcat @ lag.txt) is the lines which the logcats spits out just as it happens! I hope it is clear enough! Hope this will help in some way to solve this bug! :)
[Galaxy S III General] shabtab:
no logcat... its a total clean install. and m using yanks kernel with its prefered settings.. and m playing m mc4 and its getting heated in 2 mins..

cant even get the root working... it used to work in the 17th day build...
[Galaxy S III General] :
statisfied.

Pretty happy with this, considering I'm coming from CM 10.2 which is a stable build, this nightly performs insanely well. The only bummer so far is that there is no intergrated Superuser and that there's not enough customization. I'm sure there'll be more, though.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] kundanjuit:
I am on 18th built and its really a great update. The video playback is better than cm10.2. Great ram management with more than 500mb available. 2d and 3d working perfectly. Network graphical bug still present. Antutu gives 18k+ and epic citadel has a fps of 56. A huge improvement to the previous built. Will test battery drain tonight and report back.
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
I heard about this problem before in this thread. search the thread for more info.

If I remember rightly the workaround is to switch the speaker on and off again.
[Galaxy S III General] kloontz:
Aww, my bad searching for different words.

I found the post you were referring to, I will try and report back.

Anyway, just to add some side info, I used to have the same bug in CM 10.1 nightlies, then it disappeared with 10.1.3 stable and came back with 10.2 (all builds).

[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
SuperSU was actually designed to survive OTA updates. Just install the backup script in the settings page. The stop is possible due to MD5 checking, disable it. I had the same issue this morning after coming back from testing SlimKat for a while and flashing an older nightly then using OpenDelta to update.
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
I'm also a high usage user. I get 12-15 hours. I was getting 4-5 hours with Samsung's 4.3 Android.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Why I like Omni Rom:

1: very responsive when turning on the phone. With Samsung's rom 4.3, it was very laggy.

2: After having passed like 350 apps installed, Samsung's rom would slow down to the point were I could not even pick phone calls. The screen would not just wake up but the phone would ring. By the time the screen turns on, I would have missed the call.

3: multi tasking is better with Omni. Samsung's Ram was so loaded that it would quickly kick apps out of memory. Apps would then restart even if selected from the multi tasking list, making multi tasking a nightmare.

With Omni, you return to the exact position you had left the app, making multi tasking a dream come true.

4- Battery life is better with Omni Rom. I get 12-15 hours, and when I don't use the phone a lot, I just keep going, till the next day.

5: I definitely miss the S-Note and others, but I think the gains with Omni far outweigh any losses.

6- Omni is very stable with a promising future.

Does anyone still having the sdcard undetected issue? Mine is working in recovery but not in rom. Does anybody have any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
Worth remembering that this is a known sammy issue rather than a strictly omnirom issue. The s3 amongst others occasionally cooks ext cards causing random unmount errors. Try a different sd card and see if the problem is still there.

I lost almost 10% battery this night although mobile was off. How could that happen?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Two options

1. By night you are defining a period of ten hours or more, in which case a 1‰ drop per hour is normal.

2. You have an app causing your phone to stay awake, try installing better battery stats and seeing if you have a rogue app.
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
did you make a call? IF you did and your night was something between 7-10h then this is the infamous after call drain.

Just reboot after calls and you're good.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Perhaps tinkering with the phone left you with an corrupt file system which needs manual checking. Could be that recovery uses some kind of force mount which a Rom doesn't do. Have you tried removing the card and doing a thorough/manual fs check with a PC and a card reader?
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
What Bäcker said. The one and only bug that some people say that don't have, claiming that he can prove it with a SS of BBS or wtvr, without knowing that it can't be "measured" with any app. :p
[Galaxy S III General] vinylmeister:
Thanks guys!

@ ghostofcain @ lcrponte - I installed BBS already and will have a look if any app causes drain.

@ Bäcker - Of course i use my phone for calls ;) Or did you mean just before turning off. If so, no.
[Galaxy S III General] fr3ker:
Perhaps... But I've tried fixing it using Windows tool but no improvement :(

Sliding on my KitKat Ass Tree
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
If you made a call (it does not matter when) and you did not use headphones or a headset your standby drain goes up to around 1,5%/h (if everything else is optimized and there are no wakelocks already causing increased drain).

Over night this easily accumulates to 10%, even in airplane mode.

Only solution is to reboot after calls, or before you go to bed.
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
You misunderstood me, I was trying to say that the drain that Bäcker is talking about can't be measured with any app ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
What? :D You even quoted me ;)

I know that after call drain cannot be measured with any app and never said anything else. I justed replied to vinylmeister and explained why he is experiencing what he observed.

Does anyone else have problems with touch wake? It seems to disable itself after some time. Actually it seems to be a display bug because it works even if it shows disabled in advanced settings
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
The reason why it didn't work was your backup path beeing set to external SD. With reinstalling TWRP it was reset to internal SD.

Solution: If you flashed something from external SD with TWRP you need to select interal SD afterwards in order for opendelta to work.

Boeffla sound stayed on the same settings for me after every opendelta update.
