auto update?

Nice to use Omni rom. but when i got the system update notification, i touch on "Flash now", it will juz reboot in CWM receovery mode, and no action from there.....

wonder how can i update the system?
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
Use TWRP not CWM. The longer you hold off the change over the more issue you'll have in the future updating.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
Oh, all right. Sorry for the misunderstanding then. Unfortunately there /are/ posts every now and then trying to suppress the mentioning of other Roms or, even worse imho, user names. Sorry I mistakenly picked you to make my point.
[Galaxy S III General] wongzai88:
ow? thanks for the info. but i try uninstall CWM ROM application and install GooManager from play store. when reboot it still in CWM.:crying:
[Galaxy S III General] ilya.glants:
Great ROM but..I updated using the opendelta and now I can't make calls and get calls. I mean, I get calls but I don't hear anything on the other line... same with outgoing calls, I don't even have the waiting sound, just silence.. help?

Tried clearing data of "Phone" and "Dialer" apps...
[Galaxy S III General] Jaskaran498:
Just flash new CWM over it... it will automatically overwrite previous without problems.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] riso123:
Yeah I had the same. I ended up loading mobile Odin and flashing the recovery through there. Now updates work flawlessly even the "flash after update" folder!
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Still, CM and Omni are not just equivalent options. One of them is or wants to be a corporation...
[Galaxy S III General] samisax:
I see some posts about people asking to be open about discussing other ROMs and such. I respect your healthy debate, but I have to disagree with you guys.

XDA is an open forum. Everything is allowed to be discussed. This sort of debate is actually a major reason for the success of XDA.

However, this is a single thread on the forum, and for the sake of the saneness of everyone, the forum is divided into threads for specific topics. This is a thread dedicated to OmniROM. There should be a thread for comparison of OmniROM and CM, and I think that might be very useful for thousands of users, but when a new user comes looking for answers in 400+ pages of posts, and finds nothing but debate, it causes confusion and repeated questions, and then a shower of people telling the person to read the thread.

I really suggest that those interested in a comparison of the various aftermarket ROMs available for the i9300 start a thread where you can discuss everything about the ROMs. Maybe it already exists. I only ever read this thread. The advantage is that a thread called "Omni vs CM" will attract people who are interested in it, and will diminish the number of repeated questions. Organization is nice, especially when thousands of people are in the same place.

Just my 2 cents :)
[Galaxy S III General] audinswfc:
To be fair though, not enough people use the 'Search this thread' option. I've used it several times and easily found information I'm looking for without having to read through shed loads of pages or ask questions that have already been answered :)

Does anybody use this as their everyday thing?

I want a stable 4.4 that I can flash and not have to constantly connect my phone to update etc
[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
Been using it for the past month, it is very stable. I didn't update my phone over the Christmas holidays and it ran fine. No complaints so you don't even have to update constantly. However OpenDelta integrated into the ROM makes updating a breeze.
[Galaxy S III General] riso123:
Yep, I do. No problems at all for me.

Btw have you had issues with hearing calls like others have reported?
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
no issues like that. this is mostly an issue caused by something the user installed
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
To give credit to the guy who initiated this: actually he had only been asking whether a feature present in CM might be ported/cherry picked to Omni. Avoiding to mention CM would clearly make any dev's work just a bit harder.

Sorry if I myself probably have given this more gravity that it deserves. Possibly because I have still echoes in my head of the way and tone with which they used to ban even spelling(!) out [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION]'s name(!) on the CM10.x thread. I really hated that and want to prevent the same thing happening again. So let's close this in agreement that XDA is a place of open discussion, and topics/threads should be chosen wisely.
[Galaxy S III General] ggnoplay:
After 05 nightly, I called my friend and couldn't hear any tone from earpiece. Neither dialing tone nor my friends voice.. What should I do now?

There is a module in Xposed that does this , "Disable Google Network Location consent"
[Galaxy S III General] samisax:
I had this problem a few nightlies ago, and I tried a lot of things, but only a clean flash solved it, as I explained in an earlier post. After a clean flash, none of the nightlies presented a problem. I hope this helps. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S III General] Xdevillived666:
Just disable the lock screen sound for a temp solution. The same issue was bugging the hell outta me. Hopefully the other things you mentioned will be fixed soon
[Galaxy S III General] Choristav:
People please test this extensively as we can't rely on the developers only for they might not have enough data.

This IS the second most serious bug in AOSP roms, if it really is fixed, omni might be a true successor to cyanogenmod.

In any case, for all the people who complained about battery drain, I don't see any reports now (which is surprisingly good and bad).

Also please thank entropy for video fixing, should he not post in this thread.

Yeah, that's part of the workaround to "fix" the problem right now. Oddly enough the glitch is not present while typing in the stock keyboard, while it's definitely there using swiftkey (with clicky sounds enabled on both of course).

test and report guys who doesn't use phone much.

as for me, I need to wait till night, that's only time when my phone actually sleeps.

I have hope is this rom cause omni does not have bug that mutes all sounds after call..

also in call battery drain (while screen is off) is less in omni than cm, 6-8% vs 12-15%..

so please test guys..

and aslo with test with headset connected and without, as per rebellos conditions..
[Galaxy S III General] elzurdo87:
exist some changelog of this rom, and their different nightys???
[Galaxy S III General] Eisfreak7:
No real changelog yet. All you can do is to read through the things they merged if you are able to understand that. If not, you'll have to wait until someone posts the changes or the developers decide it's time to start a changelog
[Galaxy S III General] Smackeroni:
with yanks omni kernel you can choose between HW Keylights on while pushing screen or HW Keylight on only when pushing HWkeys

That's good, but I'd like to see it in default kernel however. Not asking for ETA, of course.

[Galaxy S III General] taniwhatuu:
Just a friendly reminder. For those experiencing issues please make sure you note which nightly, kernal, recovery and other mods. Also, it's probably a good idea to do a clean install as opposed to an update to be sure your problems aren't related to the update

Hi guys!

I'm actually using a sammy based 4.1.2 rom,with perseus kernel and NELK2 modem. I wanna try this rom but i've few doubts and questions.

1) I need to flash before a 4.3 sammy based rom or i can flash directly the Omni?

2)What about modem?can i use my NELK2 or i need/it's advisable to use new sammy 4.3 modem?

3)If i've to return,for an unfortunate event, to a 4.1.2, will i have any problems with the efs folder?or with reflashing perseus kernel instead of the linux kernel of Omni rom?
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
As far as I know, you don't need to flash 4.3, but you do need to have a rooted phone and the aproppriate Recovery (check the Op). TRWP is strongly recommended, but I think you can also use Philz's. You don't need to change your modem, but if you flash 4.3 before Omni, your EFS will be upgraded, I'd make an EFS backup just in case (your current modem may not work with the new EFS).

Don't understand where did you have to come back to 4.1.2 from...make an EFS backup just in case. And I'm not sure Perseus supports Omni or KitKat at all.
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
1 no

2 modem is not replaced by omnirom

3 efs only changes if you flash a "new" sammy rom. Perseus kernel not for aosp if im not mistaken?

[Galaxy S III General] mo_waq:
Will opendelta updates with the latest CWM recovery? or is TWRP necessary? (I understand CWM isn't officially supported by Omni)
[Galaxy S III General] andy.lovegrove:
omnirom's opendelta updates are designed to be used with TWRP. People have been able to use CWM but it's getting increasingly more difficult. My advice would be to make the transition to TWRP. It's truly the way to go.
[Galaxy S III General] orangerot.:
The Samsung camera needs (as the most Samsung apps) the twframework which differs a lot from the aosp one. It's nearly impossible to port it over to aosp. If you want Samsung stuff you have to stay on stock...

Cwm won't work, but you can use the latest philz touch which is Cwm based (philz has ors support, the official cwm not, so only philz will work)

First of all i am really happy with this Rom. But on one thing i am wondering. I got battery life for about 1,5 days and about 3,5h onscreen time. But the last 30 % of battery life drains 3x faster then from 100 - 30. Is that a normal behaviour?

Worth noting the ROM manager version of CWM is intentionally hobbled if you want the full fat CWM you need to install it from koush's website. But you should be using TWRP anyway.

I concur if your that arsed about image quality carry a camera, at the end of the day the difference between roms is fairly insignificant compared to using a proper camera.

2. start youtube

3. there is no sound (speaker and headphones)

I had to stop playing and unplug headphones, next start the player, stop the player and plug headphones.

I also tried to start the player and then plug headphones, but it does not help.

Steps are: stop the player, play on speaker, stop it and plug headhones.

You can try building Omni yourself... if you got time, patience and you are willing to learn. There's an official guide here:

http://docs.omnirom.org/Build_for_i9300

Then you'll have to learn about merging some other repos to replace the quicksettings merged code and... build yourself your updates.

Not easy... but doable. And maybe even fun to do. I've tried myself, building, and got precious help from people around here, and finally got it, but I'm still learning, thought.
[Galaxy S III General] pippoaacc:
Just two things, I know they are custom kernel related but I think can be useful for anyone trying this rom in dual boot:

1)I'm on devil kernel with omnirom as second rom. The kernel uses a modified cwm to manage double fs. How can I update via opendelta with security disabled? Where can I find the rebuilt zip after download?

2) I have an exfat external sd. I can't find it in any file manager. I'm sure that devil kernel does support exfat, so what is the mount point for ext sd?
