[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
It's a sliding window of brightness ranges, which should be good news to anyone who's felt that autobrightness on other phones swings too far in either direction. Now you can customize to your own taste.

Personally the sweet spot for me with good compromise between use in low light indoors, daylight and office lights is about 25% - the slider button just above the second "g" in "lighting conditions" :)

Remember though that changing White Balance settings will darken the display, and you'll need to boost brightness to get decent contrast again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neugenusis:
Use Lux Lite from the playstore. It lets you individually "link" a specific brightness level to a specific lighting condition, which the app then remembers and automates.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
What do you mean "Source"? :p

That's how it work[s|ed] on my Xperia U, Xperia M, Xperia SP and now on Xperia Z3C.

Not proof enough?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garment69:
It works, but doesn't work well. When I wake up at night the brightness level goes lower but not nearly low enough. I have to manually reduce the brightness to the lowest level. When the day starts, I have to manually increase the brightness. Not ideal, not a deal breaker either. Hopefully Sony addresses in the next update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionlima:
Totally agree, Im using lux to improve the brightess auto adjust....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] CBETKATA:
Some weeks ago I upgraded my i-mate PDA2k (Blue Angel) to WM2005 and then the problems started :( 1st - now it works twice slower; 2nd - the camera isn't working..... Can I downgrade back to 2003SE? And can you give me a link from where I can download it pls?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hoolio:
yep, it will downgrade.

do a search for the correct version.....i found one but cannot remember where it was...sorry.

as i said in another post, the problem can be getting the pda to format, once that is done, assuming you have read the 'how to's' and wiki, it is plain sailing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
After some GPS drives with the brand new Note 4 it seems to be unstable. (traveling at 60mph the speedometer slows down to 40mph then shoots up to 70mph erratically also it pops you over to other roads or thinks you missed your exit when you haven't even reached it yet etc...)

Used GPS Status & Toolbox to check satellite locks and acquisition.

It seems to be only locking on to ~13/~22 satellites and it drops ~4 satellites consistently. (seems to coincide with those erratic GPS jumps)

Is anyone was having these issues? (We picked up two devices and both exhibit these characteristics)

Are your notes exhibiting weak/inconsistent GPS locks?

Would help our decision to attempt to exchange for different ones if they are defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] incisivekeith:
I haven't tested the GPS outside yet, but the GPS for my Note 3 had a more consistent lock than my Note 4, so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] charmartist:
Is this with high accuracy mode enabled under location settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
high accuracy mode is enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] osetivo:
I've been VERY disappointed in the GN4's GPS compared to my GN2 which it replaced. Yes, high accuracy enabled.

Playing Ingress (GPS game) with it is pretty bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JasonJoel:
I'm on high accuracy mode, and GPS lock seems a little shaky. Put my note 4 and my wife's S5 side by side and the note 4 kept dropping lock while the s5 stayed locked...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] incisivekeith:
GPS seems to work fine outside.

Important Notes

use INTERACTIVE governor for now (ondemand seems to cause lockups and reboots quite often)

I need to raise in-call volume (personal preference)

Omni does NOT provide root by default. You MUST flash SuperSU in recovery for any type of root

Please direct QUESTIONS to the Q&A Thread (link at top) and DEVELOPMENT and BUG REPORTS, WITH APPROPRIATE LOGS here

I am getting outstanding battery life

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] D33PO:
At last, Omni for our beloved Note 3! Thanks, gonna flash this baby tonight ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Richard_10:
Awesome. Welcome
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] speedyjay:
Going to flash now :) thanks op :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Ogy77:
I flash with Philz recovery and works,so now we see how its works ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
all variants are available via the link in the OP
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Juanito216:
It's it really omnirom? Can we have a mirror if possible?/EDIT: Nvm its downloading.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
yes.. why would i say it is, if it isn't?

there's even a screenshot...

Unless I'm totally misinterpreting your statement, which I most likely am ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] speedyjay:
Working like a peach here, no FC's, very smooth indeed. Nice work OP :) my only criticism....its not 5.0 lollipop :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] asem:
very nice. I found that the microphone/speaker will give an error when using voip apps like "line" for example.

the phone also won't pickup my 5 GHz WiFi but only 3.5 GHz
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
Did you read the op + first 3 posts?

Give me logs!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] asem:
I guess this is what you want
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] psycho1200:
Thanks, :D i will try it when i get home, i supposed that spen is just like another cm based rom right ?, and other question can i use it with zion's kernel ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
I haven't played with custom kernels but if you do:

I will not provide ANY support since Omni will NEVER conform to kernels or third-party mods, the mods and kernels must conform to Omni

they MUST be AOSP-based kernels
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] legmando33:
You think you'd be able to get us official support??
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
when it's ready
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] legmando33:
Well thank you for this ROM, it is working amazingly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
While I did use the CM repositories for the device-specific stuff, the ROM itself is Omni, which is not like CM :good:

I've still got to cleanup the trees and get everything more organized but I've been using my stuff for the past few days and haven't had any issues.

I'll look into the VoIP thing tomorrow

[MENTION=267836]asem[/MENTION], I would recommend using Syslog to get your logs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] legmando33:
Does this have tinted status bar??
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r-l:
Interesting, gonna keep my eye on this
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
It does indeed. Settings - Bars - Colors :good:

Will have Beta 2 up this evening hopefully

No notable device specific changes, but squadzone did some serious overhauling of the statusbar colors feature so I wanted to get that out to you guys.

Are there any bugs that need to be addressed other than VoIP ?

edit:

of course, my server goes down tonight right after i started the builds. I'll get them up as soon as the server is back up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] legmando33:
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] MR.Samo:
Dev this is an awesome rom. Smooth,solid, Everything is running perfectly.

But I have to report a bug with the camera when I disable the flash I can't take picture's.

Thx again bro
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
I'm going to ask that you read the first 3 posts in their entirety.

Specifically, post 2 states that if you report a bug, INCLUDE LOGS!!! logcat and dmesg, and if there are random reboots then include last_kmsg as well. I literally cannot do anything without logs :good:

A great tool for this is the app Syslog from the play store. If you have a bug, simply open the app and select the type of logs to collect. Just keep in mind that the logs must be collected after the bug and before a reboot (unless you're getting logs for a random reboot, in which case you would collect a last_kmsg)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] CZ Eddie:
I've never had the pleasure of running OMNI on other phones.

Does OMNI ever add the "custom tile" option to the Quick Settings toggles like Slim/Liquid/C-ROM variants?

The early release on this one doesn't seem to have it. Just wondering if I should keep checking every couple weeks or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
This belongs in the Q&A thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] CZ Eddie:
I'll take that as a "no".

But out of curiosity, what Q&A thread are you talking about?

You mention it earlier in the thread but I must be blind because I couldn't find a link to it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Opensystem:
Isn't it faster, and more helpful, to simply answer someone's question who is into your work enough to be posting on your thread rather than basically "piss off"? So much for me trying this rom out. And the read post 2 comment....jeez. not that developers aren't appreciated, but us members are part of a community, not guinea pigs for a apparently beta rom from what I've read so far
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Mazda:
I think you misunderstood the purpose of XDA

This isn't a ROM shop for you or it's members. After all, is called XDA-Developers not XDA-The ROM Shop

Using you guys as "guinea pigs" is exactly what you're here for hahaha

To test, provide bug reports and help the development process along..........nothing more, nothing less

As for the fact that the OP has stated to read the first three posts and last two pages of this thread, that's a fair request considering what you're getting in return.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
1) if you skimmed through my other threads you would see that my work is "top notch".

2) I made several statements in the OP which are simply reiterations of forum rules at XDA, I did not make them up.

3) being completely serious with this answer: in the long run it is not quicker to "just answer a question". A perfect example is my LG G2 thread. I stated in big bold red font in the OP that a specific modem version with a link must be used to have full functionality, yet there are over 20 posts claiming bugs which are in fact results of using an improper modem. The blatant disregard for the search before posting rule is astonishing. I report posts like its my job.

4) In no way did I imply anyone to "piss off". I simply reiterated one of the rules, which are here for a reason. Would you go to a mechanic and ask about new features come with a specific car year make and model, or would you ask the dealership? Yea the mechanic probably does know about all the stuff but its not his job to make a sale, its his job to maintain and fix.

I do think, however, that just because I was enforcing a website, forum, and thread rule, that you are very much missing out on an exceptional ROM ( saying that as a device maintainer - I did not create any of the features, just made it work on our phone)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] speedyjay:
Ungrateful weapon! Don't like it then don't flash it....simples. You obviously have no clue as to what a beta consists of. For your information. Beta Test: Noun - a trial of machinery, software or other products in the final stages of development, carried out by a party unconnected with the development process. You knew what you were flashing was in beta stages so your lack of communication with the OP is irrelevant. He clearly states any problems should be backed up by a logcat. So why are you moaning? And btw OP, this ROM is awesome, I've been using it since it went live and haven't had any problems whatsoever. Eagerly awaiting beta 2 ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] radicalisto:
Great to see development on the N3 still going strong, while I may have got rid of my Note gotta hand it to the guys who put in serious effort in cleaning up sources, and debugging then spending hours fixing and building only to derp and have to start again, or have something so trivial go wrong.

I tried a few builds (granted on the Nexus 5) and boy oh boy did I have a headache setting everything up, even a basic straight from source build can be a pain so I'd hate to think of the work that goes into doing a ROM for a different device.

I like to stop by and look through the N3 forum still, and I read most of, if not all the dev threads and watch just out of curiosity, but I most definitely give kudos to ALL the guys who take time out of their own personal lives, take the time to help people (even the ungrateful ones) and of course the effort that is put in. :good: While I may not be using your build due to no N3, I do indeed appreciate all the work that is put in and hope to see this ROM flourish. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] masze:
haha.. those thread as so funny, so much hate and love!

im not gonna flash this with such strange and hateful attitude to people who

are willing to try and help dev..

just climb down from your high horse, without people flashing this ROM

you better have it on your own computer for yourself.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] zelendel:
Bottom line is people just cant talk to anyone any damn way they feel. This is not a site to make people popular. Hell I dont give a **** how many people use the kernel, rom, mod, or hack. Act like a fool and you deserve to be banned for good. The rules are here for a reason. Either follow them or leave, your chose.

Now I have had to hold my tounge on this for a while but no longer.

XDA is a developers site

XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only

XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relavent info. Like Logcats and crash messages. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix". And even Maybe help fix what is broken.

XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.

XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.

XDA is not your friends house

XDA is not a democracy

XDA is not a place to make Money.

XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.

I have watched XDA become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to ****. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question cause they dont know what they are doing (this is understood when your new, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.

Dont like what I have to say? I am sorry you must have mistaken me for someone that gives a damn.

[MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] said it best.

That being said, I'm just going to lock the thread for a while.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] joshndroid:
kudos for getting this beast to work on the note 3... i tried for many a long time once we had working cm sources, but with limited knowledge and not knowing many people for good assistance i was destined to fail, merely stuck trying to get past the ever present omni boot screen. i dont know how many times i looked through tutorials, omni builds and hounding the omni irc channel, just got all too hard. Kudos once again and thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xavihernandez:
Hi [MENTION=3878813]jakew02[/MENTION],

First of all, thanks to maintain our device.

I have just had a freeze while being on Google Chrome. UI freezes and I had to hold power button to reboot the device.

I have attached last_kmsg, hope it helps you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xavihernandez:
Deleted, double post sorry (cf last page last post).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] radicalisto:
If you are using Chrome Beta it can cause issues sometimes on newer firmware. There was/is some problems with Chrome being updated on other devices also which are causing massive headaches. Try using Chrome (non Beta) or try another browser for now. But I'm pretty sure it's Chrome that's the issue and not from within the ROM itself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xavihernandez:
Thanks for your anwser.

I'm not using Chrom Beta, but Chrome Browser (the non-Beta one).

And I use to play with it on several ROMs (CM11 by temasek, SlimKat by will03, official PAC-man) and several kernels (temasek, yank555, leankernel), and I had no freeze.

Well we will wait for jakew02 answer, he may confirm it is ROM or kernel side, or Application side.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
[MENTION=3388754]xavihernandez[/MENTION] I'll take a look between my classes in an hour. I'm getting ready to post Beta2 with some sound updates.

I'm still looking to fix headphone audio which is completely broken, and hopefully clear up the slight delay between splash screen and boot animation. I won't push beta2 until I've at least fixed headphone audio
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xavihernandez:
Ok no problem, take your time, last_kmsg won't fly away :D.

Will report anything I can notice til your Beta 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] amynjimmy:
Looking forward to beta 2 running smooth on 900w8
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gandalf:
will be working on it shortly. not planning to post it until i've done the following:

raise in-call volume (earpiece and speakerphone)

what other bugs need fixing?

This next beta will be the final beta until android 5.0
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] xavihernandez:
As far as I'm concerned, only volume was an issue. I experienced a freeze and gave you last_kmsg. These are the only issues I saw.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jamal2367:
Great! Wait for 5.0 beta 1 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Kidromulous:
I see Omni got L booting and are the first major ROM to do so. Awesomeness.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] speedyjay:
Or he won't be releasing anymore betas until another dev has gotten L to boot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Opensystem:
How sad to see such a corporate mentality on here. So the ones who write the code are more at liberty to speak their opinion than other members who are on here, simply to help others. Donations come from people who appreciate a developer's work enough to invest in them...without that, you wouldn't spend all your time doing it to begin with. But to passively threaten about how developers essentially allow us other members to be here by their permission instead of "closing down xda for just developers"...it's elitism. I hoped you would opt the high road, realizing that as a dev, you're also a salesman in a way. But your pitch was a lot of posturing and disappointment. Perhaps I could have chosen my words more carefully, but the reason I'm on xda is solidarity. A community who's vision is to help each other become greater than the sum of our parts. I'm sorry to have derailed the thread, and if I've offended anyone. I now realize this is not a place for opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] toker_X1:
[MENTION=5260988]Opensystem[/MENTION]

People like are just leeches who can't develop or be even bother to test properly. Dev is asking a simply request if report bug post logs, its simple.

But because you're so special you dont have to follow the rules and expect Dev to drop everything to answer your questions.

XDA will be better off without members who contributed nowt.
