Is the camera on cyanogen really that much better? I'm currently using the GAPPS google camera on Omnirom 4.4 on my S3 I9300 and I swear it's the ONLY thing that bugs me as ,quality wise, it feels like such a huge downgrade from the stock camera app that originally came with my S3 before I flashed omnirom. The picture quality is terrible and the the thing is always auto focusing resulting in blurry pictures if I try to take a quick snapshot. Don't even get me started on the video recording with it's atrocious framerate compared to the stock samsung camera. Other than that, I consider Omnirom pretty much perfect and overall I prefer it much more than JB 4.3. What I would give to have all of it with a better camera app :(
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Supossedly autofocus is as bad in CM11 and the picture quality is about the same (or the same, could be a placebo effect). I don't use the camera as much, so I can't really comment in depth. For what I do use it, CM11 camera is a must. For example, Google Translate doesn't work with Omni camera and I use it quite a lot (college and that). And I do tend to take a lot of photos of exams and work, and I found that Omni camera left me naked in the bushes a lot of times. On top of that, apps like Camera Zoom FX (for which I paid for) do not work, so thats a big no for me. I don't pay for apps to leave them in Play Store limbo.

Remember the camera from CM 4.2.2? It's that one. They reverted it to the propietary blob instead of using the open camera HAL from 4.3.

But yeah, compared to stock, both cameras are a downgrade (quality wise, not functionality wise).

If you wan't to, you could always backup your current Omni installation, install the latest CM11 nightly and make a comparison.

Also, you can try this fix for Omni camera http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/30-nov-fixed-camera-app-cm10-2-cm10-2-t2505973

Do not use with CM11, it replaces the whole camera and breaks functionality.
[Galaxy S III General] ebusic:
I agre!

Latest camera update on stock JB 4.3 was perfect.

Can't believe that google camera has not have voice commands, cheese, smile, shoot, and does not have HDR on the same hardware.

Focus also drive me crazy. To avoid these problems I focus manually.

Tnx
[Galaxy S III General] strider184:
Thanks for he suggestion man, I definitely do a backup and try out CM11 tonight. If it doesn't workout I'll just revert back to Omnirom no biggie. Man, other than the occasional bugs here and there I gotta say I'm loving the world of custom roms.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Talk about it... I change my rom every day. Now im downloading the sources of CM11 to compile my own.

KItKat is in a bad state for the S3, sadly. If you don't have camera problems, you have sound problems, battery drains or broken features :(

That's why I'm choosing to compile it and select the features i want. If it doesnt work, my fault.
[Galaxy S III General] strider184:
Cool stuff man, just tried out the CM11 camera and I like it so much more than the GApps one. The framerate on videos alone makes it worth it. I'll continue to test out both CM and Omni and observe there progress but I really like em both.

And keep us updated on that custom rom you're compiling, I'm interested to see if you can get it working the way you like.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Something to consider, the G. camera does not work with CM11. It crashes after the first picture and you have to restart the camera/phone.

I don't mind it because I don't use it. There's a fix somewhere but since they never merged it...
[Galaxy S III General] strider184:
Oh trust me, Google Camera is not seeing any more time on my phone for a while. The picture and video quality turned me off. Hopefully they update it to make it better in the future because I did kind of like the 360 camera and the panoramic camera as well.

I was gonna ask a question about CM but i think I'll just ask it over on the CM page since I don't want this thread to go off topic.

Hi Guys,

could someone explaine me, what does the function "quick switcher" in OmniSwitch do?

When I activate it in the options, I have no clue how to use it or what it does.

Is "feature requests" section being read at all or posting there is wasted kilobytes?
[Galaxy S III General] strider184:
I actually tried out CM11 today and I really liked it. The UI crashed on me twice though. I'm guessing it's a problem with the latest build. It also made me realize how much I miss Omniswitch (damn I love that feature). Overall both are great and both have their own pros and cons. I'll keep experimenting till I think I've found what suits me best.
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
Try temasek's v80 cm11 version, that has fixed the crashes until the cm team fix them in the next few days. Like the stable camera and built in themes, but like you miss omniswitch ;) It is included and works with screen gestures, but cannot be hooked into the home button long press (or I don't know how yet). Still deciding...
[Galaxy S III General] k4mr4n94:
Yeah if it wasn't for this ui crash, this ROM would be perfect. I don't care much about customization, I just need a non touch wiz ROM that runs fast and is fully functional.

since you already integrated lockscreen notifications into your homemade, will you also integrate hover when it's available or is this in conflict with omnis floating windows feature as hover itself uses some kind of floating windows.

Emergency calls only

I just installed the latest version NIGHTLY (20,140,512-4.4.2-i9300), according to the letter all your installation tips.

At startup, the message "Emergency calls only".

I came from a NeatROM v7.5 fully functional.

If it is true that the Omni does not install any modem, why now the network is unknown, as is the IMEI?

Operator Wind, modem I9300XXUGNA8.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I had previously tried to install the 4.4.2-20.14051 million-i9300-HOMEMADE with the same result:

"Emergency calls only".

Both installations were carried out using Philz Touch 6.26.6 and Clockworkmod v6.0.4.8.

For those with issues with encryption, a friend of mine was able to resolve it and he sent me a detailed guide on how to do it.

Warning: this WILL erase your /data partition, so make sure to have the proper backup (do not restore from recovery as this will wipe /data and encryption will stop working, so use something like Titanium Backup or similar for the backups). It would be nice if TWRP already included the correct number of blocks when wiping, so that this would work automatically.

A doubt in installing updates

Thank you for the Rom.. its working fine but I have a doubt on the updates..

How to install the daily updates which is downloading in the software update?..
[Galaxy S III General] qnguyen88:
Which version of the rom are you using ? The official or the homemade ?

if you're using the official version of the rom, you have 2 possibilities :

- You can go to this page and download the daily update and save it in your memory card and flash it like you flashed the rom.

- If you have the TWRP recovery, you can update the rom Over The Air (OTA). To do that, go to the settings and then "About the phone" section. In this section, you have a section about update.
[Galaxy S III General] kalda01:
I have been updating over the air via TWRP once a week for about a month now and the phone I would say is 90% stable.

Please help me.

No matter which AOSP rom I try (OmniRom, CM, Carbon, ArchiDroid, ...), and no matter if I use the PA-gapps or the CM-gapps (shouldn't they be the same?) , I always get this at some point:

I've done many full-wipe operations. At first the play store runs fine, but after a while (update?) it just crashes each time I open it.

What is going on?

How come I can't find this issue being reported anywhere?

Is it maybe related to the fact I've tried multiple roms, each time doing a login to google again and again?

EDIT: It's my app's fault, for making shortcuts the wrong way.

Sorry for that.

BTW, How can I delete posts?
[Galaxy S III General] Bäcker:
Do you restore anything using TitaniumBackup or something like that?

have you tried a Stock ROM just to see if it is also present there?
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
Clear Google services framework and Google play application data and retry. Maybe safer to do a cache clear and reboot afterwards as well.
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It didn't work.

I also tried to clear the data of the "downloads" and "download manager", and restart, and it still crashes.

First it shows the initial dialog "by using google play, you agree to the Google play terms of service", and when I choose "accept" , it shows the dialog I've written about.

I don't get it.

Other devices that have the play store work fine. How could this be?

[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I think I've found the cause for this.

I have a strong feeling it's because of my app, which made a shortcut to the play store in the wrong way.

The reason is that it's possible to run the play store via the apps drawer.

Camera problems

After installing the omni-4.4.2-20140518-i9300 nightly the camera function is bad. You can take a couple of pictures and than the camera freezes. After a restart it seems to function normal but then same problem occurs.

I had the same problem with a nightly installed a week ago.

I tried another camera app from Play Store but exact same problem with this one too. :(

I follow the install instruction 'by the book': a full wipe, factory reset, wiping dating, cache, Dalvik etc.

Can some help to get around this problem? :confused:

There is a very annoying thing when updating the rom:

1. it doesn't do the flashing automatically, at least not with Philz recovery.

2. when flashing, the root is gone, and I need to re-root the device, and also install superSU again.

3. it doesn't have a settings of every X days to check for updates.
[Galaxy S III General] Stilm:
1.Use TWRP and you get auto-flash

2. Use script inside SuperSU so it survives OTA's (check SuperSU settings)

3. Now this one yeah, I believe it doesn't and would be nice.
[Galaxy S III General] AndroidDeveloperLB:
1. but Philz is better... Are there other alternatives?

2. How do I do that? The feature "survival mode" is disabled as it needs SuperUser pro. Also, what if I use a different SU app ?

3. thanks.

4. Is it possible to also avoid the re-installation of Xposed framework (not the app, the framework itself)?
[Galaxy S III General] albatorcobra:
1)Philz works well with updates. You need to uncheck secure in update options.

2) You need to flash supersu from Chainfire. There is an option to install update script for custom ROM.
