Thanks mate, but imho the description is fairly complete. But I'm always open for meaningful amendments / suggestions.

And NO, I won't put any "fully working" statements in the subject. Since it is what it is: work in progress - obviously :p
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Everything is working perfectly for me. Really. This ROM is great. Using it for quite a while, and it is smooth as hell, works great with ART, I have no reboots, no clock freezes, nothing nothing nothing. It's almost annoying :))
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
About battery consumption,which is better?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I can't really tell about battery because I'm using wifi/3G all the time. But it gets me through the day and it's like in 20% when it is bedtime :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Wew.. Alright I'll try ART.

If I'm from previous release just flash it?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ertank07:
Thank you golden-guy . structure, the maclaw 's 4/7/2014 Did you use?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Groot:
Pretty common sense if it's a Rom update

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
I mean without wipe?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] calvooo:
I did clean install using twrp from maclaw. And clock freeze is only issue i have with this rom (thats for clock in status bar), lockscreen clock is ok.

Yesterday i try something i found on web.. disable & enable again auto clock option, delete alarms, wipe data in clock app. And now i will se if i have any freeze today.

[MENTION=5473651]golden-guy[/MENTION]:

Does this mean that bluetooth for phone audio is working now? Because streaming calls was not working for me in version 03042014. As Exothermic mentioned, the bluetooth drivers need to be backported for our devices. Is this the first step towards this or do you mean something different with in-call-audio?

Cheers and thanks for your work. This rom is by far the most stable around here.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Does anyone here know how to disable button lights?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Groot:
Go to the buttons option and untick the illuminate buttons option

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
You mean settings-->buttons?

I don't find that option :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Settings -> Display -> Brightness then you'll see options for the buttons, try dark mode or manually set it to zero.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

It fixes the bluetooth, I wrongly assumed the bluetooth drivers were at fault, but it was a issue with the configuration of the bluetooth set in the device tree.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
I've set both of them but nothing happened. It lit back :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Then it's not working much like the Galaxy Exhibit, I can either have it permanently turned off when I'm building for the phone, or on like now. I'm still trying to fix it, but I'm in the midst of exams atm. Try using root apps that control the backlight; or an xposed module, if such exists.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
It's OK, mate. Just do your exam well.

Anyway, using BLN is draining our battery, so I don't like it. :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Yeah that's the major tradeoff of using BLN, but try looking using ActiveDisplay, and enabling pocket-mode and experimenting with that. It should technically have better batterylife, since it only activates when the proxmity sensor is not trigger (which means its not in your pocket) and the screen would light up).
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
I've tried BLN control but it saix that no mod installed.

So IDC right now. May you install bln kernel after you free?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
For those of you wondering, BT in-call audio is indeed working now with this latest build. I have successfully tested this with my stereo headset. Some test reports of your device being connected to in-car (or similar) BT equipment is highly appreciated.

As far as the battery temperature is concerned, this is still not displaying the correct values. Anyway, the fix for this fix will be in the next release. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Is there any way to disable one core processor?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ozg33k:
Albertusac: yeah look at the apps & themes section there's a PA performance app that you can install it let's you disable one core.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Just curious what your you planning on doing? I can't figure out what combination is better for me on this ROM between noop+sip & interactive&pegasusq
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
Run this in terminal as root:

echo '0' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

after rebooting it will be back online
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
It can't, it back online after i touch the screen.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ertank07:
Use pacperformance. one core disable,only ondemand and interactive.

ART does not exceed rom, please help.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
What do ya mean?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ertank07:
ART don't work
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Groot:
If you're using xposed, forget about ART, xposed automatically reverts back to dalvik if you use art with it

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
I'd like to report back using BT in-call audio.

It works with a bluetooth headset from nokia. I did not test it for long-time calls though. While the sound quality with A2DP seems to be good the quality with HSP/HFP (in-call audio) is rather bad. Or is there any setting for the quality of HSP/HFP connections?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
Hi, thanks for reporting back: The difference in audio quality is mainly due to the BT profiles being used: While A2DP (advanced audio) provide two-channel audio streaming for media, HSP is just using a 64kbit mono signal for in-call audio.

Normally a stereo headset does support HFP as well, which should provide a somewhat better sound quality (better codec). Do you get better sound quality when using in-call BT with other handsets? What I noticed on my Sony headset: Answer and pick up a call has to be done on the phone, pressing the button on the headset is not recognized. Does this work on your Nokia?

Edit: I just looked up the BT specs for the S3 Mini. Only HFP 1.5 is supported, while the better-quality voice codec has not been introduced before 1.6. So, sadly it won't get any better for in-call audio...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] 947432168@qq.com:
Great rom and how about the battery life?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Great. It lasts around 16hours in 3G, 26hours in WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] calvooo:
For all who have clock freeze.

Its been 2 days so i think clock freeze bug is gone.

Solution:

- delete all alarms in clock app

- disable & enable auto clock in settings

- in app manager wipe cache & data for clock app

- your done

Before i use this solution i have 2 clock freezes in one day. Now its ok.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ertank07:
Maclaw will be when the upgrade contains the latest updates in golden-guy ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Hi. I was testing bluetooth a bit more and here are the results.

Yes, with a nokia bh-214 bluetooth headset I am able to answer and hangup calls. When getting a call the phone rings with it's ringtone and also the headset rings with it's own ringtone (which is not the ringtone that is set in the phone settings).

Also adjusting volume while calling is working.

What is not working is notification sounds. When receiving a message, I do not hear the notification sound with the bluetooth headset.

Also in the options -> sounds menu: The sounds for notification, calls and alarms are not played by the headset.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
Afaik that's all due to the design of the HSP/HFP and A2DP protocols, as they are just used for streaming voice and media. System sounds are not being streamed, as a matter of fact. Also each headset comes with its own ringtone, so this behaviour sounds all good to me.

Good to know that the HFP commands (answer, hang up, change volume) do work :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
Errm, WHAT...? :confused:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
I think RIL is draining our battery. Anyway, there's must a way to optimize the battery.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LMH1998:
I ordered a bigger battery since I can only use my phone for 2/3 of a day.

I hope golden-guy can improve the battery life :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] davorzilic:
I am trying to experiment with different types of gapps and must say that battery is greatly influenced by them. Best battery life for me is with micro variants 2.5-5 percent per hour. Full gapps packages drains lot more, from 5-9% per hour.

At this moment I am using aroma package from novafusion site to choose my desired apps and it works great for me. I have my favorite apps from gapps and battery consumption is back to cca 3-5%.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] burak185:
I am using minimal gapps from banks. With apex/nova launcher and greenify, rom is smooth and battery drain is minimal.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
So which is the best? BankS or aroma?

I wanna remove all battery drainer. :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] davorzilic:
You must try for yourself. We can just give you a hint what to try and somehow expect.

For me aroma is satisfactory solution because I can choose which app is necessary for my needs, still keeping battery consumption very light.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mattiawhite:
My gapps package: PA-gapps mini package, but i remove launchers, google now and other stuff direct from zip, but i start with mini not micro because i need hangouts...

I'm not fan of aroma installers + PA is always up to date (end OT)

Now I will post about delays that I found on this ROM.

- delay while trying to turning on flashlight

- delay while trying to call someone.

- delay while receiving a call.

Receving call,connecting 2-3 second delay.

Sorry about my noob question but is any way to change the theme? I try to install theme chooser but didn't work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
It should be, he mentioned earlier he included it earlier in this thread.

There is no system-wide theme changer yet for OmniROM, however as a "workaround" you can use a third-party launcher and use its themes (such as GoLauncher, but you could always go Nova Launcher, and pair it with a nice set of icons). There's some work being done on Omni's side to include a theme changer but they're focusing more on bugfixes, etc rather then new features, atleast what I recall from visiting their IRC and their gerrit multiple times.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
So where can we use the multiwindow!

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PTGamer:
im i the only one having truble with 3g connection with the latest build? some times the trigger wont work.

btw the lockscreen clock is allways right but my navigation bar clock is 90% of the time with wrong hours..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
That's strange, I don't have any of these issues... :confused: In fact, I have used the same patch level as in 20140408 for this build and just synced the Omni sources upfront. So that doesn't quite make sense to me.

FYI: Multi-window support has been again removed since 20140403 build. Simple as being too unstable, causing soft reboots every now and then. If you wanna go for that feature, best take 20140329 version.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Anyway, I installed latest relase with clean-install method. So it's strange for me, and also for you :cyclops:

For now I'll take a look at Omni's changelog, for sure.

I don't really need Multiwindow remembering our phone screen size. Even my Xperia Z that have screen around 5" still narrow.. :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
The battery life for the latest release is bad.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
Anyway, I want to install .apk file (TeamSpeak3.apk). Then first, I install the .14 version, then I uninstall it. Then I go to .13, i pressed back and it's cancelled without my purpose. Then I wanna install, it can't.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] davorzilic:
I've had strange problem with latest update. First I made a backup with twrp 2.7 from novafusion than update latest version over previous.

I really don't have time to make clean install every time. It didn't work at all, ROM has booted but it soak battery so bad, I have tried several restarts with WiFi off, even cleaned cache and dalvik several times and it didn't help, also I lose root.

Than I tried to restore previous version but when twrp finished it doesn't want to boot, it stuck on omni logo. After that I tried to restore old version of carbon and it boots normally.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] as1162764:
how do you switch to silent mode?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] albertusac:
maybe you download such a corrupted piece? :confused:

just press the volume down button :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
Hi, in general when switching between different flavors of custom ROMs it's better to do clean installs. Just to avoid any side effects. Might be tedious but it pays off in the long run. You could also keep multiple sets of backups so you can most easily switch between ROMs.

Also, since 20140413 does not contain any new features - but just the latest Omni sources - you can just stick to 20140408 for now, if you feel something to be awry with this latest build.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] davorzilic:
I didn't switching Roms, just upgrading your ROM with latest update.

Of course I have different sets of backups in case that I fill like switching. Only real problem for me know is that all my backups of omni ROM is somehow useless. As I say I am using novafusion latest twrp, is that general problem with omni ROM and that recovery or I making some mistakes?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] golden-guy:
Not that I know of, but I'm running 2.6.3 atm. This works just fine up to the latest Omni build. Have you tried with my supplied twrp version yet?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] kla960:
What is the advantage of Bluetooth in-call audio (SCO)?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
It's basically the protocol the device works on; like how on WiFi there's b/g/n standards etc (n being the fastest).

It's one of the more typically-used protocols; as a end-user for you, it just means the sound quality is decent.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
it is impossible to disable softbutton backlights.

i set the value to zero, and then it lights on permanent. very pity.

good rom anyway with good performance. but softbutton bug is a nogo for me.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Known issue for the Galaxy Exhibit as well; looking into a fix for it. I think it needs to be fixed in "lights.c" in device tree; if that doesn't work, have to resort to a hacky fix. It annoys me as well.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
i found out something interesting:

navigation bar is disabled by default (no menu in setting)

but installing gravitybox and enabling navigation bar in there, the menu in omnirom for navbar is suddenly there - very surprising.

i disabled backlights of the softbuttons in gravitiybox and it works.

another question: in omni there is no possibility to choose anothe theme, only background picture....????

MJ
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
odd, I'll look into that.

there's an experimental theme manager floating on gerrit, [MENTION=5473651]golden-guy[/MENTION] would need to pull in those changes to have a theme. but in the mean time you can use a 3rd party launcher wiht +icon theme + wallpaper and it looks pretty good imo. i'll post a screen when i can.

https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/topic:theme_engine,n,z <- all needed for theme manager, haven't trited it myself yet.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] LMH1998:
OmniRom is the only ROM I can use. My phone gets random reboots with Maclaw's ROM's :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] davorzilic:
Latest release was 13.04 or six days ago. :)

Please be respectful to our developers, they know what fits for each of them.

Omni ROM is very stable ROM without novafusion bugs like sudden reboots or shutdowns, without 1ghz bug at all. Clock freeze was present only in second release. Signal strength is much stronger, especially 3g is much steadier than any present ROM for our device (except stock).

I am very glad that novafusion open their sources, I think that everyone would benefit from it in a certain way.

Especially them, because now the other developer also could improve their excellent work to fix their everlasting bugs. And it started to show, their last releases are much stable.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Rox:
If you ask me nobidy can benefit from their sources because there is nothing spectacular to care about... (At least for now ) ..But that is my opinion...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Balino:
Nothing special but I think their optimizations made cm11 the best ROM in terms of smoothness and speed.... I was not blaming devs beacause they didn't use novafusion's team sources , just wondering why they are not using that sources at all...

There is nothing interesting in their sources, that is why nobody is using it... They opened sources month ago and there were open sources for s3 mini already.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] varianceness:
/offtopic

I'm sorry but I think it's rude to say this in someone else's thread. The decision to use or not to use a source is always the prerogative of the developer. If you really love that source, then by all means, install a ROM with those sources. But to blatantly ask why a certain developer doesn't use them is just plain rude, IMO.

I'll be trying out OmniROM probably tomorrow. I'll try to give my thoughts about it.. :D cheers! :highfive:
