USB Stick USB OTG

USB Stick doesn´t work on my i9300. I want to use usb-stick with otg cable. Are there patches for omni nightly 2014-01-19

I´ve seen this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181820 but which one can i take or has anyone other special tipps?

:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
To bad. It was perfect imho.

Edit: Fixed again. Big thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] vulfgar:
Sorry for being unclear, but english isn't my native language. I haven't tested the file to enable exFAT myself, didn't know about it until I already had reformatted my sdcard, but I suppose it works.

You don't need to flash anything extra to enable ext4, it works out of the box.
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
This is rather simple. I have a feeling it is a command line argument available in TWRP which is passed by OpenDelta. Personally I would do this if I was the OpenDelta dev for the following reason:

You download the an update delta, which gets patched to the existing zip, OD then verifies the zip before flashing, but there is no harm in adding another verification step. Too many bug reports/complaints come from users doing things the system was not supposed to do, I certainly see this a lot in the software industry. It makes perfect sense to add some form of redundancy to prevent a user from flashing something potentially flawed and then complaining multiple posts that the rom does not work.

omniteam has released this version of android for many devices, but there's no really optimized devices. in particular our gs3 has problem with battery draining when using the phone, camera is worst than with the stock rom, lockscreen off lag and others little "boring things"

Wish in a better optimization, and damm sammy collaboration
[Galaxy S III General] frederic5000:
this rom was great and my only problem was that game. whell i think i have no choise but to wait untill samsung release a kitkat update
[Galaxy S III General] petrolcan:
You're going to ditch Omni because a game wont work :boggle:

I'd also be very surprised if Samsung release KitKat for the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Games work "ok"..

Im only playing Dead Trigger 2 tho , its on high graphics mode , few hiccups here and there , but its playable.

Anyways , i didnt track this thread for couple of weeks , have developers got any insight on HWC problem ?

Quick question:

I figured out the downloads crashing problem, it cos I froze Omni Documents.

Now here is my question, is there any way to UNLINK Omni Documents from, well, everything. It seems to have taken over when I try to do anything, any time I try to select a picture, no "which app do u want to use" it just goes straight to Documents, lol. And I have tried all the usual solutions.

[Galaxy S III General] frederic5000:
i hope they do cz if dont i will kill´m all
[Galaxy S III General] peramikic:
Under App Info for Omni Documents hit clear defaults, that should unbind activities from the app, then you can freeze it again.
[Galaxy S III General] orgert:
im getting camera crashing , like the early builds of 4.4 with the leatest nightly, any one else , it crashes if i take a pic,than slide to see it , and after that click back button, and it crashes every time, it wasnt like this on 16/01 build

Having problems

Didn't work for me.

Got the i9300 international with official 4.3 UK rom.

Flashed this. then flashed Gapps modular 4.4.2.

Phone rebooted and i've got no icons. like Zero. not even the thingy to go into apps. screen is black. but i can swipe down and go into settings etc. i can recieve calls. but screen is blank.

What did i do wrong.

I used TWRP recovery. maybe i should use CWM????

wiped cache and user data and dalvik like 100 times.
[Galaxy S III General] Crythar:
No TWRP is recommended. Its best for using open delta update. Do you have latest twrp 2.6.3.1?
[Galaxy S III General] LoganMcClay:
SuperSU in system properties

Hi everybody,

As CM had Superser in System properties, we now have SuperSU embedded the same way if you flash the latest version and install the app from Play store :D

I don't know if the app disappeared also with stock launcher, but in Nova you can only access SuperSU via System properties by now.
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
It's not necessary to install the app from the Play Store, unless you didn't have already v1.89. And yeah, SuperSU is no longer on the App Drawer. :)
[Galaxy S III General] feromoni:
No sweat, thanks for helping! I have my card formatted with ext4, but don't seem to have write permissions even though it shows up on my phone and pc when connected. Any advice there?
[Galaxy S III General] vulfgar:
I changed the permissions to allow everyone everything whlie I had the card in my computer.

In ubuntu I used following command

First you have to change owner

sudo chown USER:USER -R /FILENAME

where USER is your username and FILENAME is the label of your sdcard

then permissions

sudo chmod ugo+rwx -R FILENAME

Guys I have a problem. I have a cousin who's using Temasek's Rom on his S3 and when he sends me a message I can't receive it. When I send him a message he gets it. I don't know if that's his problem or Omni Rom's problem. Anyone who can test it to see if it's our problem?

I think that's a common issue with boeffla sound app, not related with rom.

Don't know if it's ROM or kernel related but latest nightly with latest googy gives me audio issues. I loose audio after a call and have to reboot each time :(.
[Galaxy S III General] PlanetJumble:
If I modify build.props to enable the navigation bar, it will be lost after each update, right? I am sick and tired of the hardware buttons and KitKat makes it easier than ever to switch to navigation bar without sacrificing a lot of screen space (yes I know about pie menus, but I'd rather have the bar when I need it and activate immersive mode when not). It would do to have a tiny update.zip for that but I don't know if there will be any other changes to build.props in the future I'd overwrite with that.

I wish there was a toggle in settings for that, but I could not find any. And every other method besides manual editing the build.props comes alongside a flood of other options I don't need or want. :/
[Galaxy S III General] Revhead:
Cant hear caller?

Been searching but can't find an answer.

Been getting a few sleep of death where it wont wake up.

But the really annoying problem is where I answer a call and I cant hear the other person. Only way to fix is to reboot?

Loving this ROM otherwise.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Are you running stock kernel? Undervolting or underclocking?. Audio issue hasn't occurred with my device.
[Galaxy S III General] riso123:
I have the same issues. What kernel ate you using? Need to see if its kernel or ROM related.
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
If you put your changes in /data/local.props they should survive updates.
[Galaxy S III General] Revhead:
Stock kernel. Haven't changed anything,

Was using Yank kernel but had bad battery drain.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Simply clean flash rom with stock kernel, if it persists it's ROM related if not it's kernel related.
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
To you who have problems with in call audio.

Try enable lockscreen lock/unlock sound -> reboot.

This solution was working fine with previous cyanogenmod roms.

Hi,

For you, what is the best radio version ?

because the RIL into OmniRom is for Radio XXDLIB (i'm using this one) but have you a better radio/ril pack ?
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
Depends on your carrier/location. But difference is often very small.

Dont touch ril. If you flash a samsung modem-ril combo it wont work att all.

camera test + scharpness

i also just tested the camera and i cant reproduce any of the problems.

app does not chrash and the flash is "good". if you take a close picture you might call it a little over exposed and if you take a far picture a little under exposed but nothing different then with stoch rom.

the only part i also notice is the "sharpness" of the screen witch is a little iritating when web browsing and reading text but it realy does not anoy me :o

ow and i realy like the way when you are in the camera app and swipe to te left the camera will continu to give a live feed next to your pictures :D

For some reason my phone keeps rebooting instead of opening the camera app, have tried all the different PA-GApps: Full, modular and mini, and today's and yesterday's nightly. Wiped cache, dalvik cache and done a factory reset quite a few times but I can't get it to work...

Any suggestions?

I have problems with calendar sync.

No calendar sync entry in the google acount.

The other problem is the charging time. On stockrom its quite faster.

Greater problem is the calendar sync. Anyone the same experience here or a hint for solving this problem?

[Galaxy S III General] frater:
All the tests I did thus far were pictures taken from close objects. It's only then when flashing isn't properly timed (and I get a dark picture). A picture with flash from a normal distance is alright.

I think it has something to do with slow focusing.

Could anyone test some more?

I downloaded Omni & gapps 4.4 and all worked fine. Issue: external SdCard could not be read (disappeared). Obliged to wipe/factory reset etc and install from PC to external SdCard old ROM 4.3
[Galaxy S III General] jesterpaul:
This ROM is running liquid smooth and lightning fast. I also tun CM11 unofficial by Temasek, which is awesome too, but this is the smoothest any ROM on my S3 has ever run. Awesome work so far.

No issues with camera, and 1 bar signal indicator issue doesn't worry me as it still puts data through at correct speed. My 16GB external SD is seen and works as it should.

I am not trying ART, so just running Dalvik.

I have one issue that may prove difficult to diagnose, but hoping for pointers and ideas:

I use a mobile banking app from Westpac New Zealand. It seems to have an encryption issue, because it always says that I have input the incorrect credentials (trust me: I'm not. It works on CM11 unofficial and all older Android ROMs I have used).

So it's not an issue with Android 4.4 or it wouldn't work on CM bases kit-kat ROM either.

I have:

- Wiped cache and Dalvik

- Uninstalled and reinstalled the app

-reinstalled ROM and Gapps

Any ideas how to troubleshoot further would be appreciated :)

Edit: Solved. I thought it worked on Temasek preview, but it doesn't. It's an app incompatibility with Kit-kat. I have notified developers.
[Galaxy S III General] Doktaphex:
New build is up!
[Galaxy S III General] RohanAJoshi:
just woke up with test results...

as you said, for me also there no battery drain if I made call with headphones connected and keep them connected, for hours 0% drain, flat line.

but then I disconnected headset and made a call, then battery drain starts. 4% in 4 hours.

.

also from 1st build, camera is not working for me, just black screen..

soon i will post log about camera.

thanks..

Didn't work, I even found a reference to this hint in this thread, with someone complaining it didn't work, but no one answered.

[Galaxy S III General] Daan518:
The latest nightly (0121) has made the quick tiles in the notification bar buggy for me. After some use tiles become unresponsive and require 3-5 taps in quick succession to actually activate. I've noticed this behavior on the battery, settings and wifi tile. A reboot fixes all tiles temporarily, and it will work on the first tap at least once, but then the problem returns.

Anyone else facing similar issues or have a solution?

Latest nightly/stock kernel.

Wiped and reinstalled ROM and apps but still have intermittent problems.

1. People call/I call them - but I can't hear them/they can't hear me.

OK, I think I had the filename wrong (props), but that line in local.prop would not have disabled the capacitive keys and physical home button anyway, or would it? I only need to disable backlight now, there is a solution with a simple init.d script, if the default kernel supports that. Otherwise I could try an alternative kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
You can do all that from the settings in omnirom. (Not the physical home button, it has the same function as the navbar homebutton)

Settings - buttons

And

Advanced settings in app drawer to disable backlight.

Nothing wrong using your aroma script. Whatever works. :)
[Galaxy S III General] eliash:
Hi guys,

I'm wondering, maybe I should say considering upgrading from my old cm 10.1 (andoird 4.2.2)

And I'm considering moving to OmriROM from CM.

I have been flashing nightly builds for long period, since cm 9 (had i9000 with CM as well) but when CM moved to 10.2 I decided to stay with cm 10.1 since I didn't like all the new CM features (camera, gallery, music player, etc) I wanted something as close to AOSP as possible, and they had terrible stability.

So here are my questions, I hope this is the right place to ask them.

For daily usage, how the OmnruRom behaves?

Does it inherit CMs bugs - for example the music distortion upon screen lock?

How the camera behaves?

In addition - I noticed that in kitkat google now is located when scrolling the launcher left - can I disable this option and remove google now from the launcher?

About the install -

do I need some special actions in order to istall the rom - for example changing the size of the SDcard or just wipe of the data and system?

Thank you very much for the help.
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
For me omnirom has far better stability and speed then cm10.1.3.

Gapps and supersu is what you need to flash.

Use twrp recovery 2.6.3.1

I always format system before changing rom.

Wipe data and cache.

No music distortion

Camera is fine, atleast the back facing camera.

I use nova launcher.
[Galaxy S III General] Daan518:
Also, you can disable google now in the google experience launcher no problem. It's great for daily usage in my opinion, there are some minor bugs but overall kitkat is worth the upgrade.
[Galaxy S III General] Faber-92:

[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:

Hi,

When I long press on the desktop or press the menu soft button I get to chose between Wallpaper, widgets and settings. So far so good.

Btw that thing "Pull down quick menu if no clearable notifications" whoever tought of that is a GENIUS !
[Galaxy S III General] Daan518:
The quick tiles seem to have gotten buggier than they were with the latest daily (0123). The tiles are still unresponsive compared to earlier builds and additionally, the notification drawer now opens with the page showing quick tiles instead of the page showing notifications. I'm flashing back to 1/19 also I think.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
That's the way it's supposed to be if you have no notifications.
