Since u have ur Nandroid backup (Sammy ROM)... I'll skip the Nandroid part.

Copy official omnirom 4.4.3 zip to ur sd card. Copy supersu zip (download.Chainfire.eu/supersu) to SD card. Copy PA_GApps (which one u like... I use modular one) to sdcard.

Use Titanium backup pro or ROM Toolbox (by JRummy) and backup ur user app + data. Not ur system apps.

Flash TWRP v2.6.3.1... Since I've had the most success with this one.

Reboot into TWRP. Wipe. Advance wipe. Select Dalvik, cache, system, data. Swipe to wipe.

***Do Not select internal sd card & Micro SD card***

Now go back to home screen of twrp. Install. Select omnirom zip. Click add more zips. Select GApps. Swipe to flash.

Wipes cache and Dalvik again. Reboot device.

Setup ur device.

Hopefully all should go well this time around.

If all OK.... Reboot into TWRP again and flash the supersu zip this time. Now u will be rooted.

Go to play. Download titanium backup or rom Toolbox... And restore ur apps + app data.

Good luck!

I'll give this a shot tomorrow, the sun is just starting to come up, and I need to go to bed. Thanks for your help, man. :) (Why would TWRP release a shi tty recovery? That boggles my mind. Anyhow, off to bed, and try this tomorrow when I wake up).
[Galaxy S III General] keneth_c:
Exactly my thoughts about 2.7.0.0.

I've just started using v2.7.1.0 and it seems good... Much much better than v2.7.0.0.

So it's upto u... Either 2.6.3.1 or 2.7.1.0.

Stick with 2.6.3.1 for now though... And if all goes well... Flash 2.7.1.0.

Im almost certain things will go well if u do it in the way I asked you to... Never failed me... Good luck and keep me posted.

I had some issues with running & installing apps, and I had them on multiple roms too. I can't find the thread that helped me, but this is what I remember the solution was. Maybe it will help you too :

0. before doing anything, try to check if any of the apps you had is missing, as this was my initial problem.

1. go to "/data/app-lib", and delete all of the folders in it. Maybe even try to delete the folder itself.

2. restart the device, maybe with a dalvik cache wiping.

Hope this helps.

That hide notification thing worked...

But it worked after I ticked it and after a reboot...

So I'm trying OMNI after I've been on CM for a while. I have to ask what is going on with OMNI camera? CM camera is very stable in the latest CM releases. But OMNI is having all the old camera bugs that I've seen on CM a while ago. Focus problems, random freezes, video shooting just stops working, stretched video preview...

I know about all the fixes that are out there but with latest CM we didn't have to flash those fixes.

So what is going on with this? Is there a reason OMNI is not using the fixes that CM implemented?
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Does it mean I have a lot of apps that will have their notifications being hidden on the next reboot?

Does the Omni camera fix v5 help at all?
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Where is this fix? I had problems with the camera from the first time I tried the rom...

Is it this one:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/30-nov-fixed-camera-app-cm10-2-cm10-2-t2505973

?

I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes. However, I think the problems appear at random, so even if it will work fine, maybe on some cases it won't...

EDIT: no, I still have issues with the camera. tried the "QR Droid" app to scan a barcode, and it crashed when it found a barcode. Now the camera won't take pictures again...

After another restart, it succeeded without a problem...
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
NO! If anything it made things worse. Stock OMNI was only freezing here and there and at least it was possible to recover by just closing and opening the camera. The V5 Fix totally crashes the camera after a couple of shots or after a couple of videos or even just when changing between modes.

Messed around with all the fixes for to long, none of them work. Went back to original OMNI camera, at least it's possible to recover.

Anyway, I'm open to Ideas. Maybe a Kernel fix? I remember Boeffla had some cam fix? But then they removed it? Not sure why.

I'm currently on the latest Boeffla Beta6 kernel but looks like the camfix was removed after Beta4.

Version 2.3-beta6
06.06.2014
zzmoove updated to version 0.9-beta1 (credits to ZaneZam)
Initramfs updated to version of 05.06.14 (Android 4.4.3 version!)

Workaround for "Camfix" completely removed again (if you need a version with camfix still, please flash back to beta3 again)
Update to latest kernel commits
Initramfs updated to version of 01.06.14
Internal Boeffla-specific functions rebased

Version 2.3-beta3
12.05.2014

Overclocking to 1700 MHz implemented (1500 MHz step removed to avoid implementing an additional step)
Important: If you are overclocking to 1600 or 1700, please make sure you reset your CPU voltages once by putting the profile to "None" and pressing the Reset-Button in Boeffla-Config !!!
Fixed freeze issue when inserted into a dock (credits to mad_ady)

I'm using the V5 Camera, have been for a while. I don't like the Google Camera.

The only time I have trouble with the 'Can't connect to camera' issue is when I've switched between camera apps. If I just stick to the V5 camera then all is good.

It's also the best performing IMHO.

Googy has the original fix, he found it. It works.

Well there is no way I am using this ROM then. Others have it perfect, for weeks now. I'll wait.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Yes, but why is it removed form latest Boeffla? Is it causing some other problem?

If googy's fix really that good why not even implement it in to OMNI? So we won't need to go flashing random kernels until we find some fix.
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
Because it was causing issues with some users, plus it was causing the zram feature to not function properly..lord boeffla had to create two versions of the kernel, one with the fix and without, so some users can still use the zram function but without the cam fix

Testing Omni with boeffla kernel

So i decided to test battery life with boeffla kernel (my first test on stock kernel yielded 16 hours but that was the first cycle so I decided to test again later)

This was on moderate usage with 2G data or wifi active.

I used the boeffla "battery friendly" profile, which does not reduce the max CPU frequency, im guessing the "battery saving" profile would give a much longer time.

I used google now and the stock browser a lot, so that will explain the battery usage being the most for those two apps.

Kudos to the Omni team for making a really smooth and battery friendly base :o

Hi all

I find two possible bugs

When I am in lock screen and press menu hardware button phone unlocks, if that's a feature is there I way to disable it?

Another one, if you are inside any application, shutdown screen, power on again with home button and unlock with normal (sliding) way you appears in launcher desktop, application is not closed but you are in desktop. But if you power on screen with power button you appear in application... and if you power on screen with home button and unlock hitting menu button you appear in application too... really strange

Edit: it seems that this happens sometimes, not always

Like I said Yank555 V1.6g kernel with his personal settings (just hit next till you flash). Disabled Android Device Manager location look up. Had Location settings on Battery Save. Nova Launcher with Google Voice trigger disabled. I use DashLock with BetterWeather and Gmail extention, BetterWeather is most accurate with my location and refreshes less often (I can totally see when it's raining outside haha).

Installed V5 earlier and my battery just dropped something insane, probably coz i was fiddling and checking out the new stuff. Everything works the way I like it, just waiting for the next Yank555 kernel. I can really recommend it, device feels smooth, battery lasts very well and it has a very good trade off between performance and stability.

[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Yes, I've reported about this issue. Not only that, but for some reason the menu button sometimes doesn't respond (though I'm not sure if it's because of OmniRom or something else).

However, you can use GravityBox module if you use Xposed framework, which allows you to customize it (and it has plenty of other features too).

I would recommend you do this...

Reboot into custom recovery...

Wipe System, Dalvik Cache & Cache,

Flash the ROM file, GApps and SuperSU again...

Wipe Dalvik Cache & Cache again...

Reboot...

You won't lose data or any apps doing this...

Guys, the boeffla kernel v2.3-beta6 + Google Camera works perfectly. :good: I've been messing with it all day and had 0 freezes or crashes.

Didn't flash any fixes. Just the latest Boeffla v2.3-beta6 (yes, I know the fix was removed in beta 4 but looks like for Google Camera it's enough to make it perfectly stable) kernel and the Google Camera app from play store.

Stock OMNI camera app still freezes and crashes with boeffla. Also Google Camera freezes and crashes with OMNI kernel.

That's a whole other problem, it's not perfect but at least it works. The only perfect camera for this model is the stock Samsung ROM with stock Samsung Camera.

AFAIK, to use the video recording, You must change the CPU Governor to a performance oriented one, Yep, it will consume more battery, but you won't have these lags while moving the phone.

I use Boeffla Kernel, and I can change it with Boeffla Config app...With stock kernel you can go to Settings -> Performance

Subscribe to Boeffla kernel Omni version for i9300 thread on XDA.

Google Boeffla kernel website and download the appropriate kernel zip file. Also download the Boeffla Config v2 app file (apk).

Reboot into recovery. Flash the zip file.

Wipe both caches. Reboot.

Then open Boeffla config v2 app and make required changes.

Do go through the FAQ section.... Gives you very good info.

As far as I understand galaxy s3 uses camera modules from different manufacturers, so fixes and solutions that work for one may not work for another. In my case omnirom camera which uses open source camera HAL was not very stable regardless of different fixes. For my phone and camera module, CM11 (without any fixes) which uses closed source samsung blobs and camera wrapper works better(, no camera crash in around 3 weeks now.)

I'm no developer so don't know if its even possible, but it would be nice if you could select in the rom which solution you want, open source or closed source. So everybody can try what works best for them. (And I could switch back to Omnirom :) )
