[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ObiDanKenobi:
The question was regarding other music players, Apollo works also on other ROMs, we would like to know if people have problems with music players stop working and the fix is a restart. Music players here = PowerAmp, Winamp maybe others.

When I try to update via OpenDelta I get an error message in TWRP

when I push the install button my device reboots to TWRP but then the error message appears...

I:Full zip path: '/sdcard/OpenDelta/omni-4.4.2-20140207-i9100-NIGHTLY.zip'
Unable to locate zip file '/sdcard/OpenDelta/omni-4.4.2-20140207-i9100-NIGHTLY.zip'
E:Error installing zip file '/sdcard/OpenDelta/omni-4.4.2-20140207-i9100-NIGHTLY.zip'

Why is it searching on 'sdcard/...'

When installing it manually it installs it from: '/emmc/OpenDelta/omni-4.4.2-20140207-i9100-NIGHTLY.zip'

Any suggestions?

Hi.

Any fix for home button lag ?

I have to press my several times to work sometimes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dany547:
i have no lag on the home button, maybe you have a hardware problem.

Nothing like that happens here. What Kernrl are you using? I had once had the same problem with Siyah.

Glad to see I'm not alone.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheCreat:
Unfortunately, OpenDelta is broken for me at the moment. For a few days, the updates presented were always a day behind (only offering to install yesterdays nightly, even though today's was already available).

I was on 20140206 earlier, and I'm only offered the 20140207 update, even though 20140208 was already available (manually checking for a new version didn't change anything). All I could do was just update twice in a row (after 07 was installed, I was offered 08 after a manual check).

The update being generated right now (going from 20140208 to 09) also seems to be basically a full install, as it's 170 MB in size (can't say about other recent patches as I didn't think to check for this until I saw other reports). What's even worse is that it won't install: I get a zip signature verification error and the installation is aborted. Please note that this is a first, usually all patches are installed without issues (apart from being a day too old).

I've also added this as a comment to an existing bug report ("Delta update not working").

Edit: sorry, I screwed up the dates/versions, but fixed it now. Also added some clearer structure to my sentences.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dany547:
it works, but the guvernator decides that the tasks are better executed with 500 . If the screen is turned off that means that you have some kind of wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dany547:
if open delta wants you to download the antire ROM is means that are some major changes that need you to flash the entire zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bnwgraaf:
Hi,

I am using the latest Omni Rom with the google Now launcher (I like the extra home screen with all the Google now cards).

In another rom I was able to turn off the Google Now Search bar/widget on the other home screens.

Is there a possibility to do this also with this OmniRom, when using the Google Now launcher?

Hi there, Just wondering if I could use any other Music play & equalizer other than the stock one? Dont really like DSP manager , Is it possible to put install Walkman or Stock music player for SGS2? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] farisyi1:
Just use stock music player (apollo) and for replacing dsp manager i'm use viper4android music effect :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ObiDanKenobi:
Ok, I have installed the ROM fresh yesterday, coming from SlimKat, sdcard storage is handled much better and faster, but the same problem persists with PowerAmp that the player stops and cannot start playing the song without restart. I will use Apollo for now, but would be really great if this thing is fixed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheCreat:
I now have the same problem. Download mode works, but I can't boot into recovery.

I had some trouble updating nightlies (as described here), but eventually I got an update to 09 that worked (including zip signature verification upon install). After that installed I checked for an update again and was offered 20140212 and proceeded to install that as well, which then resulted in the bootloop I currently have.

Edit: got the phone back to a working state by flashing the most recent stock rom via Odin. I then rooted via universal rooting method and used MobileOdin to flash a TWRP-Kernel (the one mentioned in the OP of this thread) where I could restore my backup from 2 days ago, which worked fine.

Edit2: I'm sure there is a shorter way, like flashing a cwm directly from odin, but this worked at least :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] josepmaria:
I had the same problem, so i have had to reflash cwm with Odin and then flash 20140209 rom.

Working fine now.

Waiting for solution in newer updates.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SkullDeath:
I have the the same problem, updated from 20140209 to latest nightly using OpenDelta and now stuck on a bootloop :crying:

I'll try re-flashing the kernel in download mode but is there any news about a problem with OpenDelta or this particular nightly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheCreat:
One reason why the update might have failed: The .zip file generated by OpenDelta for the 20140212 update (coming from 20140209) is 270 MB in size. This can't possibly be right, can it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GidiK:
I think I have seen at an earlier date that OpenDelta result zips are a lot bigger than normal zips.

I had made my own build and it resulted in the same bootloop as when I updated from 0209 nightly to 0212 nightly. So I don't think OpenDelta is the problem. The nightlies have been missing for a few nights, so there are many changes that have been merged in the mean time (including the rather jinxed 5019)...

Update: flashing stock kernel-only from Odin + sideloading Philz + sideloading Gustavo's solves the bootloop on 0212 nightly without loosing data or triggering download counters.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] umano:
Same issue, resolved flashing CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar kernel found here on xda and reflashing the 12/02/2014 nightly clearing cache and dalvik. No big deal btw.

My compliments to you guys I had cyanogen mod 10.2 and I changed with omni one month ago, no crash, best responsiveness i've ever seen on my phone and incredible battery life.

If I have to be negative I don't like omniswitch graphically and the omni logo :) but it's my job so nothing to be worried :)

Thank you for your efforts!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Shark13012:
Same issue. But after flashing the CWM recovery, and then the 12/02 build (downloaded directly from omni server, not by opendelta), the issue came back again....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smirciat:
You can use 12/02 if you immediately flash another kernel like dori or Gustavo after. Build has bad kernel, but flashing new kernel before reboot removes the problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PhoenixNZ:
mates phone updated no issues to 1202, so I, as an idiot does, updated....to the bootloop...Dork!:crying:

now had refresher course in odin, but phone's almost flat and don't want to flash and have the battery die.

They should remove 1202 if it's causing this issue, even if it's only some users.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mydragoon:
dem... too late for me.

updated nightly, went into boot loop... flashed back with stock rom, still boot loop.

now trying to flash stock rom again from odin.

how did this bad kernel thing get sneaked thru... ouch...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SkullDeath:
I used Odin to flash Philz kernel that I had originally used when switching to custom ROMs and then booted to recovery. From there I flashed an older version of the Omni compatible kernel linked in the OP and after that I could boot into Omni.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Munckster:
Confirmed working:

Flash ROM, and right after flashing rom, flash a different Kernel, then reboot.

Tried with Gustavo_s latest kernel, worked fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mydragoon:
hi... do you have the link the the Philz kernel? previously, i used the zip file (on external storage) to root. dun have the md5 file that odin needs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smirciat:
Odin can use any tar file that includes custom recovery. Once there you can boot to recovery and use your zip file.

Edit: that statement is very oversimplified hopefully you know what I mean. Recovery needs to be recent enough to permit selinux, be compatible with Odin, i9100, etc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DavidRedstone:
Well that was a trip! 12/02/2014 ROM is borked, as the posts above have said.

I got the same bootloop, with no way into recovery, but at least download mode worked. I had to muck around getting Odin and a KitKat compatible kernel. I flashed Dorimanx kernel (as suggested in this thread), only to find it would boot into OmniRom, but with force closes everywhere. It also wouldn't let me flash a different Omni nightly (Dorimanx uses CWM recovery?)

Since Omni wouldn't work properly, I pulled the external SD card and added Gustavo's kernel and the 9/2/2014 OmniRom nightly. Gustavo's kernel gave me TWRP recovery and then I flashed the 9/2/2014 OmniRom nightly. It worked, but then I had to flash GApps and SuperSU again. It worked. Finally! Phew!

I wonder what the Omni team did, that borked the kernel/recovery, and why the hell they haven't removed the download to prevent idiots like me from wasting a few hours having to fix their phones...?

My girlfriend and I both have a i9100, running the latest OmniRom nightlies (except 12/02, which is screwed!). My phone has mostly worked well, while her phone has had lots of problems. Swiftkey would not stay default. PowerAmp and Google Music would stop playing, fixable only by rebooting, sometimes the phone would randomly reboot, and sometimes her battery would go down to nothing really quickly. Occasionally there is no mobile network/data access, also fixable by rebooting. I also (rarely) get the random reboots, battery drain, and no mobile network issues.

The other day I did a full wipe / factory reset on her phone and now the Swiftkey problem has gone, but she still has the occasional spontaneous reboot, the occasional quick battery drain issue, and the music stopping issue.

So -- considering a full wipe / factory reset does not solve the problem, I would say this has not been fixed in the latest nightlies. I hope the OmniRom team fix this soon.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mydragoon:
scratch the above... seems the last kernel flash (using philz) was successful and i could boot into recovery.

so, next... was as before... flashed compatible kernel and installed the ROM (luckily for me, all the original files i used to flash this ROM is still in my external SD -- files dated about 1 month back).

looks good.

only thing is... this whole thing made me get the yellow triangle and the counter is now 1. previously, it was still 'virgin' unit.

Here you go... to get you out of trouble (I'll leave these up for a few days)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8rylzaszx18wl0w/idG5BGePfb

I had deleted what I used, but I made a TAR file for you from Gustavo's kernel, to save the extra steps I had to do, because Dorimanx kernel didn't work for me.

Steps:

---------

Install Samsung usb driver (if you haven't already)

Use Odin to flash the TAR file (in the PDA section).

Reboot recovery.

Flash OmniRom nightly (9th.. anything except 12th!)

Flash Gapps

Flash SuperSU

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Reboot

Enjoy!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SkullDeath:
Though the 12th nightly is booting now with the latest gustavo_s kernel I am unable to use the quick settings toggle for network type (2G/3G).

Clicking on it results in com.android.phone and systemui FC.

Is it because of the 12th nightly or due to the kernel?

P. S. - I also flashed google dialer from Pa Gapps page recently.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mydragoon:
else, do what i did above... get into recovery and follow back the steps found in the OMNI site:

http://docs.omnirom.org/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(GT-I9100)

but just use an older version like 2-3 days back and avoid the updates for now. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] farisyi1:
So latest nightly is not safe with stock kernel for now? Glad till now i'm still use [MENTION=4217277]Gustavo_s[/MENTION] kernel :cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bnwgraaf:
I have no problems with the 1202 rom, installed including the default kernel....seems I was the only lucky one :p ;)

But as the others say, if you didn't flash the 1202 rom, than DON'T do it ever

Another question,

What can be the advantage to use another kernel with this OmniRom and which one is your favourite?

Do I have to reflash that kernel, every time I flash a new Omni nightly?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mimikjahat:
so, this is worldwide issue on 20140212 update.

it almost get me frustated, but found a way in the end.

i just flash new CWM 6.0.4.5 via Odin v1.8.5 then reflash the OmniROM from scratch.

Luckily i have the backup :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gsainath4u:
As far as I can see, only those users who did the upgrade to 1202 ROM using OpenDelta(OTA update) are facing this issue.

If you flash the complete ROM using recovery, then this bootloop issue is not seen.

Also, after reading many posts here, I came to the conclusion that the remedial methods are also very different for each of the user.

For me, flashing the Gustavo_s kernel (the .tar file mentioned in post #702 above) using Odin was sufficient to get my device back up.

No need for me to flash anything else, neither doing a wipe cache nor anything else. :angel:

The only downside is a yellow triangle on boot :( which I cleared using chainfire's app mentioned above in post #703 :victory:

But as I said earlier YMMV. Give this a try before trying anything else. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Leryan:
I have tried to flash complete rom from 12.02.2014. No difference. Boot loop at start. (Have also flashed this version through OpenDelta, so there was no difference what version to reflash, some additional minutes to restoring)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gsainath4u:
Just flash the Gustavo_s Kernel (tar file) as I mentioned in post #710.

This might be more than enough to restore your phone.

Please reply here if this method works for you, so that others can benefit :) :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Leryan:
Thank's, mate, for advice :) Hope there will be no need to flash kernels for future nightlies.

I had to little time for experiments, so with help of Odin flashed CWM recovery, and then latest known working ROM version :) from february 9.

Thanks a lot

I see the nightly on the site, but the OpenDelta doesn't seem to find it.

Will give it a try after sometime. I will check it with OpenDelta method and post the results here.

Actually, I am trying to make use of my own scripts created using the method described here, for deleting the extra applications that I dont need.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] josepmaria:
Just test it. Same problem with latest 20140213.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Shark13012:
For the next update, will it be required to flash a new kernel ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bnwgraaf:
If I would like to try another kernel, for example DorimanX, do I need the Mali V3 (or the Mali V2) version?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SkullDeath:
That's disappointing, the change log had a few commits related to bootable recovery that got my hopes up. Guess I will have to keep the current kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 7med:
Hi, as mentioned earlier the 0213 nightly still have a broken kernel.

If you prefer to use Heimdall instead of Odin just extract the kernel "boot.img" from an older omnirom build (or download it) then:

heimdall flash --KERNEL boot.img
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cgx:
Same here, I was surprised to see people have problems with 1202. I have been running it without problems today. I even installed it with OpenDelta, if that makes a difference
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Donglip:
I would say exactly the opposite : It is surprising that one or two persons had no problem when a lot of people got the bootloop on Samsung's logo !

Personnaly with 1202 or 1302, both updates done either via opendelta or via direct flash finally gave the bootloop.

In gustavo's thread, he mentionned "If you are coming from another kernel that also supports stweaks, please flash "kernel_settings_wipe.zip" before the kernel! or you might be stuck at samsung logo!". The problem is slightly different, but the result similar.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cdaarif:
Same problem 0213 hear.

Flash stock kernel by Odin. Install cwm non touch from stock recovery. Flash kernel wipe script + dori 10.43 v69 mv3. Now boot :D

At least for me, worked fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ba7rani123:
Go to gustavos kernel thread under "known problems" download the CM kernel and flash through ODIN

2. boot to recovery where u can "Mount USB Storage"

3. copy Gusavo's latest kernel and flash it !!

The Omni rom kernel has a bug I guess

Pasting on behalf of a user [MENTION=4392044]DesMor[/MENTION]

[MENTION=825848]dany547[/MENTION] : Buddy, I think official OMNI rom should have Official Discussion Thread. what do you say?:o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Donglip:
This is a very simple transitory solution for updating OmniRom :

1. Download gustavo's Kernel as said in previous threads , and put the zip in OpenDelta > FlashAfterUpdate.

2. Update through OpenDelta as usual.

By this way, Omni boot normally, and version 20140213 is now operationnal on my phone.

After that, don't forget to flash SuperSU. (I dit not put it in FlashAfterUpdate)

Very fast.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bnwgraaf:
Hello,

Can anybody tell me, why I should flash antoher kernel (Gustavo, Philz, DorimanX) over the default OmniRom kernel and which one you prefer?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Donglip:
If you try to update with 20140212 and 20140213, Omni enters in bootloop and then, it is impossible to reach recovery.

By flashing Gustavo kernel (after update flashing) Omni boots normally.

A bug does exist in these two updates. Version 20140209 is OK.

Please read the last three or four pages for more information.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bnwgraaf:
Hello Donglip,

Tnx for your reply. Sorry for the confussion, but actually I do not have the bootloop problem with the 20140212 or the 20140213 roms. For me, both work great, with stock OmniRom kernel....but I see, I am one of the happy few :p ;)

The reason I was asking for other kernels, is, that I have read a lot of posts, where people install other kernels on the OmniRom. I was wondering, why they do that. Are these kernels better working, battery friendlier, or are there other reasons to not use the default kernel?

And if there are advantages, which of the other roms are preferred?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Donglip:
For me the only reason to change kernel was the problem of bootloop when restarting after updating with 20140212 or 20140213.

In fact I have no experience with this kernel, because i always used the stock OmniRom kernel.

Others participants will certainly give you more authorized advices.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gsainath4u:
