I noticed that there's a fix for BMW bluetooth mentioned in the 25th Feb nightly https://changelog.omnirom.org/#/i9300/1393339818

Right headphone doesn't work on latest 1-2 nightlies. Tried with Boeffla and stock kernels.With Viper audio and without. Tried it on other phones and it works.
[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
Fixed now in the latest nightly 26-02-2014
[Galaxy S III General] adripred:
No problems here using the stock camera too.

Camera fix for 1080 recording.

The whole thing about this problem is that camera app don't get enough CPU power when recording.

Easy fix: i presume that patched lib is installed.

- If you use Boeffla kernel select LULZACTIVEQ. ( camera will record in 1080 in 30fps)

If you are on other kernels - you can use TASKER app and make task that when camera is started gets high CPU priority (changing CPU clock, or governor to performance) and after exit to set it back like it was. In this case you will keep your battery life with preferred governor and give power to camera when is needed.

I found this on stock Samy rom camra does exactly the same thing.

Tested on Temasek CM rom... works flawlessly... like stock camera.

Enjoy.. and hit the TNX button ;)
[Galaxy S III General] wadken1:
All working for me using Omni kernel, PowerAmp and Viper
[Galaxy S III General] SlimFatso:
Yes, I found out that it's a hardware problem with my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
Hope the devs can do this manually like Sammy roms do it.
[Galaxy S III General] Robi959:
Is there any way to turn off backlights when i every time touch the screen, like is on stock Sammy rom ?
[Galaxy S III General] Crythar:
There is an Option in advanced settings to disable backlight. Settings > advanced settings > screen
[Galaxy S III General] Robi959:
I don't want to disable. I want just that soft key leds does not turn on when i touch display like on stock sammy ?
[Galaxy S III General] BossStang:
yank has this option in his kernel if I remember correctly

CyanDelta

Just a heads up, today I got an update for the CyanDelta app and in the recent changes it says that support for OmniRom was added. I'm on CM so I can test but you may want to give this a shot. AFAIR, OpenDelta used to be quite a tad slower than CyanDelta.
[Galaxy S III General] k-semler:
What is the point of using Cyandelta when OpenDeta works fine?
[Galaxy S III General] xrad:
As I said, I found OD to be working a lot slower than CD. YMMV of course.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Well so far only issues i had in last month of using :

-Sometime audio stops working(no idea why)

-Camera derps out quite a bit

-Pictures out of focus sometimes / or takes pictures while camera is focusing

-On rare occasions snaping isnt lined up with flash

-Sometimes it takes 5 sec for camera to autofocus while recording.

-Low Framerate on recording ( fixed by using performance gouvernor, would be nice if someone just modifies camra app so when it starts recording boost CPU to max)

-2D and 3D stutters ,not lag just not smooth animations at all, bad game performance(@GeeckoDev has done some really promising work on this one ! :D )

For me non of these issues are dealbreaker , there is way around them all except for HWC issues . but i dont play games that much :D

Is the "long press home for recent apps" just broken for me? Sometimes it just goes home, sometimes it shows just a few entries, definitely not the last ones, more like the first three or four used after starting the phone. I'm on 20140226, the latest nightly. This happens only since today.
[Galaxy S III General] Roman91:
another little thing to fix is the lockscreen time lag...there's a 1/2 sec lag between pressing the power button and the screen off
[Galaxy S III General] E_Cartman:
Hey guys,

I'm experiencing some really strange problems when installing Omni on my friends S3 (coming from stock TW).

I did everything exactly as described in the OP (btw: no noob, installed hundreds of custom roms in the few last years on almost every galaxy, some HTCs, some Nexus and so on).

Got the latest Philz Touch (which basically is CWM), did a full wipe (even used "install new rom" option that formats system), installed everything as always.

Now the problem: the S3 always freezes during the initial setup process after the first boot (when you have to select a language, connect to WiFi, enter Google account). I can never connect to my router, if I skip the step it freezes on the following screens. No FC or error, just a freeze. It doesn't respond to any input (touch, homebutton, powerbutton whatever). What the *'%$ am I doing wrong :p ?

I'm sorry if that's a noobish question, read through most of the thread but couldn't find an answer. Never experienced anything remotely similar on all the other phones :(

Could it be baseband related? I'm currently on I9300XXELL4...
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
Could be worth updating through a stock ROM then trying again
[Galaxy S III General] E_Cartman:
OK, but came from the latest official TW 4.2.2? Doesn't matter, will try. Thx.

Can an old baseband cause these problems?
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
Not that in aware of, but if you also have an outdated bootloader that could cause trouble
[Galaxy S III General] lase.wun:
Its an issue with the accounts setup. Had sane issue with cm11, you need to remove cmaccount.apk or the omni version.

Probs a bad zip when you downloaded it. So redownload it.

Or install it on your s3, do a nandroid

Backup and pit on SD card and install on his device that way.

If it works, hit like (:
[Galaxy S III General] rutz@8038:
Has anyone tried the Carbon ROM camera? It has loads of features like directly saving to ext_sd.. JPEG Quality, etc.. Hope the devs look into it and add those functionalities to our camera.. Everything else running perfectly for me.. Thanks..
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
Is there a way to skip the 'Apps are uupgrading' stage that happens every time, just before bootup, after you have flashed a nightly?
[Galaxy S III General] Teura:
Bootloader shouldn't matter. I'm still at XXALE8 which is pretty much ancient by now, and everything still works just fine.
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Not really. When you flash a nightly (after all you are flashing an entire ROM even doing it 'dirty') dalvik cache is wiped and it has to be rebuilt.
[Galaxy S III General] sapabg:
Install TWRP instead Philz Touch...just a guess
[Galaxy S III General] adripred:
I had this problem too last night when I did a full wipe and installed the 20140227 nightly (with Banks Gapps). I wiped and flashed again 3 times to have success. Everything working fine now. I´m using the XUGMK6 baseband and TWRP 2.6.3.1.

MENU and BACK lights

Hello to every

IN use stock kernel and boeffla kernel, ( adjust to always turn on light )

my rom in this some lasts versions always turn off screen stay off the lights menu and back...

if i reapply tur on the light s ON, but if i lock and turnoff screen the lights stay off when come back wcreen on and unlock ...

why?
[Galaxy S III General] duncan_donut:
You don't need to change the kernel to alter the button backlight settings. It's in the app drawer under "advanced settings" with stock omnirom kernel
[Galaxy S III General] E_Cartman:
Installing latest TW (4.3 from sammobile) with odin did the trick. So apparently it was somehow bootloader and/or baseband related. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] f0xy:
I was thinking bootloader because of the SDS freeze. Glad it's sorted
[Galaxy S III General] vinylmeister:
Having problems with extreme scroll lags, e.g. in xda, tapatalk or tiny tiny RSS app. For testing there are no more apps in my phone. On the other side web browsing or app drawer is smooth as hell. Using boeffla kernel and tried almost all gouvernors. Any hints?

Everytime i flash a new nightly i lose root, and a have the survival mode on..and also when i enter the SuperSu settings on the Settings menu, it asks me to update something and it fails..the only way to havê root is to flash the root file..am i doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] lar1995:
I wanna report something here, maybe a bug or something wrong with the camera software, so when i took a picture with front facing camera, the first picture was fine and bright enough, but right after I took the first picture the camera gets darker and the result gets dark too , I'll leave the first and the second photos I've taken just 5 minutes ago
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Try installing the latest SuperSU onto what you got now, and again activate the "survive" script. If that doesn't work, you can allways put the SuperSU zip in the "flash after update" folder in OpenDelta's folder.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Now, a lil report myself ;)

I've installed the latest nightly (0103) and after installing xposed, I'm finding my Omni very laggy, something that never happened since the first builds. Everything's stock, using dalvik, full wipe. The only thing is I'm not coming from Omni but I've been trying AOSPA for a few days... but after a full wipe that shouldn't matter, I think.

Anybody else is experiencing it too or is it just me?
[Galaxy S III General] monty fw:
I'm having some trouble with hangouts lately ; Each time I try to send a picture mms, the app crashes (and will crash each time 2 seconds after I open it) until I get the "message not sent" notification. If I touch the picture to retry sending it, the same issue happens again.

Has anybody experienced this bug?

Thanks

Edit : The problem is not specific to omnirom and present in any stock rom. Apparently hangouts doesn't resize the pictures before sending them causing the app to crash (over the upload limit).

Here is a temporary fix : Edit the images with a software like quickpic

Hi,

[Galaxy S III General] mo_waq:
Do custom kernals (e.g. boeffla kernel) have to be reflashed after every nightly flash and after updates through opendelta?
[Galaxy S III General] anil720:
Yes. Putting them in Flash After Update folder will automate the process.
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
First time OmniROM user here, but only used it for 2 minutes before going back to something else.

1. Full wipe

2. Flash latest nightly

3. Flash gapps

4. Boot up

5. No root? kthxbye
[Galaxy S III General] bleggy:
did you flash supersu? no? well, there's your problem.
[Galaxy S III General] jcspecs:
Man you can get persistent root without much effort. Flash a relevant superuser then put that zip in opendelta\flashafterupdate for persistent root.

Have a cry why don't you.
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
The first post in this thread says nothing that the ROM doesn't have root access by default, it's something that you kind of expect from a custom ROM.

I'm sure it's no problem getting root, but my point is that for a first time user, like myself, it leaves a bad first impression, don't you agree?

Yes, I can jump through hoops to fix the problem, but why would a first time user bother doing that when there are tons of ROM's out there?
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
But on the flip side some users want the latest Rom, but also need to use banking apps that do not consistently work with rooted phones, even after workarounds. So the non-rooted method makes sense for them. I'm rooted, and installing supersu is so easy that I can understand the reasoning...
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
Ok, so you're saying the reason OmniROM doesn't have root by default is due to banking apps? Would have been nice to have this information available somewhere.

If I install a ROM, and it's lacking basic features, then I don't have an automatic incentive of trying to fix these issues, unless of course there is some information given explaining why these basic features are not in. If there is no information, then I will just assume that the ROM has way too many bugs and move on.
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
Wow...

While you were arguing about this you had been able to flash the SuperSU zip and been done with it.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] cornelha:
If you read through the thread or even use a simple search you would find it splattered all over the thread. Root is not a basic feature by a long shot. It is an advanced addon feature which you have just become accustomed to due to custom rom developers including it for a long time. Flashing the zip in recovery takes no real extra effort and chainfire actually made it much easier to enable survival after ota updates.

Android is about choice, you can choose which rom suits your needs. There is no need for aggressive posts just because you didn't search through the thread (as common etiquette around here suggests) or the rom doesn't suit your taste or assumptions. There is an OmniRom forum, device threads and an official website containing every bit of info regarding OmniRom.

[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
I'm not arguing about it, I'm just highlighting an issue and giving feedback/critiquing as a first time user, that maybe the Devs would appreciate. Hopefully they will fix this issue in the future, thats the only reason I'm posting.
[Galaxy S III General] anil720:
Some corporate emails don't work on rooted devices and that's why the ROM isn't rooted. For people who want an AOSP ROM but not rooted.

And yes, it is weird the first time you install it. Happened to me and I had to search the thread to know that root access isn't provided by default. But once you root it, there are ways you can make it survive updates.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
You cannot fix something that is not an issue. Your whole argumentation is invalid
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
This is the first ROM I've come across that doesn't have root by default, maybe this is a new thing, I dunno. Are the a lot of ROM's out there without root?

I'm just giving my view as a first time user, I was under the impression that custom ROM's have root, as that has been my experience so far. I would think it would be good to have it say that the ROM doesn't have root by design on the first post of this thread, then it would make this a non-issue.

But maybe I'm mistaken in assuming it should say that the ROM doesn't have root if this is the norm. Which other ROM's don't have root by default these days?
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
That's just my devils advocate viewpoint nothing is official ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
I agree that it should be mentioned. Other roms should also mention that they are rooted. Both things are important to know. Root can lead to security issues. AOSP is not rooted from scratch. Omni, cm and derivates base on AOSP. Its the rom's decision to decide what they include.

I only disagreed that you called it an issue, like it was a bug in the rom. Its clearly not. Its a decision of design.
[Galaxy S III General] fermasia:
Jesus... You got an excellent Rom for free... You got a community willing to help you out with any question... It's ok to express anything you want to, but where all that "unsatisfied customer" winning is coming from?

It's quite simple, you are trying a beta stage Rom, you'll need to put up with stuff. I'm sure that if you try CM based Roms, where you get Root by default, they won't tell you that on top of Google apps gathering usage statistics you get CM gathering them too and without asking for your consent... Would like to see you placing a complaint about that in their threads too.

Welcome to custom Rom world. Here you try stuff, you learn and with that knowledge choose what best suits you. All without paying a dime and without the privilege to demand anything... but politely ask/suggest for things.
[Galaxy S III General] panina:
Too many posts but :)

Is anyone else using & having trouble with Spotify the last week or so, possibly two weeks? Mine lags out a lot, stalls when skipping songs, taking a looong time to play & search...

Anyone else seeing this?
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
I don't think you understood my intent with the posts, I'm not arguing or complaining and I don't feel I'm entitled to anything, it's critique.

As a new user I was quite confused that the ROM didn't have root, and it doesn't say anywhere that this is the case. I only critique this, because I want to help and give the viewpoint of someone just coming across this ROM.

If they inform the new users that the ROM doesn't have root, and the simple steps to acquire it, then I'm sure this ROM would get more new users, like myself, which are accustomed to ROMs having root by default.
[Galaxy S III General] bleggy:
do you always back track this much? you were quite dismissive and rude and seemingly entitled in your first posts -- certainly did not seem like you "wanted to help" new users.

you change your tune only when people call you out.

Warning 3: custom kernel, root and gapps are not kept after updates, put appropriate zip files in /sdcard/OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate
[Galaxy S III General] Daeva:
Well, my first post was just to get a reaction and to point out an issue, since I was honestly disappointed the ROM didn't have root, and I thought it was a bug and was just gonna leave it at that.

But after people told me it was by design, then my posts where just my viewpoint as a first time user. Basically It would be really helpful for new users to know that the ROM doesn't have root, and it would cause no confusion in the future, but the devs can do what they want of course.

Also, I think you are a bit overly defensive, sounds to me like I've offended you or something. You should relax a bit, take a break from the computer.
[Galaxy S III General] Yeti47:
Supersu can be selected to stay during updates and gapps does as well. It's only the custom kernels that need to be reflashed.
[Galaxy S III General] Galaid:
Where do I select root and gapps to stay?

Yeah, I had some weird issues with Spotify in that time frame. I ended up clearing cache and data and then reinstalling. Seems to be working fine again now - might be worth a try?

Constantly random rebooting and freezing at bootanimation

Is \ has anyone having\had this problem? Every nightly that I have installed since 4.4.2.20140102-i9300-nightly constantly random reboots/closes/sticks at boot animation. Today I've had to pull the battery 4 times!!!

I love this ROM, and I know the devs are serious dudes\dudettes, so I'm assuming its something I've done (or am doing wrong)

I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) running TWRP 2.6.3.1,

Also, I now get interference, when listening to music (PowerAmp donate) when my phone is auto-syncing using mobile data (I use Tasker to activate mobile data every 15 minutes when I'm away from home wifi). This has never happened before - on any ROM I've used.

I read somewhere that I have to have CWM recovery - but, as I say, all was well, using TWRP, upto an including the 4.4.2.20140102-i9300-nightly.

Any and all advice appreciated

Vybz

What's your launcher?

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Are you using OmniROM's default kernel?

You don't have to have CWM, in fact it is advised by the devs to use TWRP.

What kind of interference? Sound interference?

Phone not waking up and sound interference (while the device locked), really sounds like a custom kernel. :confused:

I had the same problem as you (phone not waking up) a couple of years ago. I solved it by flashing a stock rom and reflashing the ROM.

Consider this one as the last resort. :p
[Galaxy S III General] oportista17:
At the moment im using the stock onde, not GEL.
[Galaxy S III General] lcrponte:
Well, in that case you should report it on Jira. Sounds like a bug and not something that you didn't do or should have done.
[Galaxy S III General] vybztymz:
I'm using the default kernel. It's sound interference as in tracks keep breaking up (checked every setting in poweramp) - again something that's never happened with ANY rom (been flashing roms since oxygen 0.2 on HTC desire)

My launcher is Nova Prime, and i also run Xposed framework / Xprivacy module.

Another thing, when updating using the omni app, the FlashAfterUpdate folder is always empty. What should be in there?

Ps: I'm using pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140227-signed.zip
