Omni here, omni there. Is anybody using SlimLp here? Does it have the same bugs as cm like the call ui lag? Or is it build from different sources than cm ones?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] winesh:
Slim is aosp, just like omni.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baudio:
for a best rom

Thank's for you jobs in this rom..

I'm downloading Omni 5.1 atm, here goes nothing! I was using CM12.1 and hope to find a better ROM :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
Omni 5.1 is much snappier for me than CM12.1 but I use my camera video quite often so am not ready to use Omni daily.

I use omni 5.1-20150330, video works, gps works, and runs very smoothly. I use this rom daily.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Omni 5.1-20150330

Is the link for that version, [MENTION=393336]mico77[/MENTION] can you confirm that video recording works as well?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Just flashed OMNI 0330 version as seeing many report of broken stuff in latest version.

Yes video recording in camera works fine,just tried it :)

But GPS is not working in 0330 build ( some said it was working so i just check it and not working)

so here is logcat for gps issue :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
hmmm now I just need to remember how I built that version...... :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
I'm sure u will find a way to time travel back in time and see what u did ,simple as that hhh [emoji6]

Also one more issue as its already been reported,power menu is at wrong place as seen in this screen shot
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
If you use git that is easy, git log, git show (commitID), git blame (file) can help you to identify the changes you made across commits.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
Just tried the 3/30 version of this ROM, and I can see this really has potential. I much prefer Slim/Omni ROMs over CM; they seem to offer more snappiness and better battery life. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep it on my phone, as I have become accustomed to a lot more features than are currently offered.

One thing I insist on now are the various animation functions that are available--IME, listview, progress bar, and transition animations. Why? Well, those are the things you see (and show off to your friends) on a daily basis. Also various navigation options, such as PIE. Also, I believe the option of breathing SMS, missed call, and voicemail are good features. Custom button options are also on my list.

So there's my shopping list, which I wouldn't blame you if you responded, "Well, you want it so badly, why don't you build such a ROM!!!!????" But you can trust me, you don't want me mucking around with ROM source; I'm sure all I would accomplish would be to build a better brick. :p

These things have all been incorporated in at least one Slim-based ROM at the KitKat level, here (and, since I used that ROM from the time of its Alpha build, I know those features didn't come easy); maybe it's just a lack of knowledge, but I would think they could be adapted to Slim Lollipop as well.

Please don't think this is criticism; I'm really glad someone with knowledge has begun the process of building a Slim Lollipop. I'm also aware that getting this stuff to work is a lot of work, so I thank you for what you've done. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread, and hope to see it mature as time goes on.

So, again, thanks a bunch for what you've done, and I hope that others with skills in ROM building collaborate with you, if that's what you wish, to make your job easier.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Amachete99:
I have just installed on my i9300, I have had the Omnirom 4.4 for a long time, and I love it...

The Lollipop ROM works ......fine, but with some Issues...the overall battery life is good, but I think Is a huge size for improvement......

this new ROM looks a bit more slowly than the previous ROM, KITKAT.

GPS: Does not work, It does not update in real time, when you are using navigation of Google Maps.

Chrome: I have got several crashes of this Browser...

AOSP Keyboard: New keyboard looks a bit weird, but it looks nice.....the only problem is gestures does not work. When you try to "type" a word swyping with your finger the Keyboard crashes...

If I find out more issues I will let you know.

If you need a LOGCAT, let me know....Although I do not know yet how to do it, I will do my best to provideit to you.

Thank you for efforts mcgi5sr2, mate!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] berkay2578:
I've been using Omni 04/05 for a week now and the ROM itself is stable. Video playback issue can be resolved with MX Player+SW Decoding and I don't use GPS often anyways so for me Omni is really good. Although, I need to say that while Omni has good standby(deep sleep) time, whenever I actually use the phone battery just starts going down by a lot. I'm on stock kernel with max cpu clock speed set to 1200mhz on pegasusq governor. Can anyone lend me a hand here, because I don't have this problem with any other rom(4.4.4TW, CM11, CM12.1).

Edit: Welp you guys are too helpful. I have flashed RR 5.4.1 and will keep it that way from now on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Hey guys, could anybody running Omni flash this zip and let me know whether video works? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] M.kruzze:
Flashing the zip fails, getting an error.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] a790gx:
I´ve flashed and lost my root access.

Now I am trying to get the root again but CF doesnt work so how can I get the root access again?

thanks!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
Bad download?

Which recovery are you using? I highly recommend the latest version of TWRP.

But my guess is that your download is incomplete.

Regards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TENN3R:
No bad download, I checked. I am using latest Philz Touch and never had problems or so...

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

A little question to the developer: can you remove in the next version the "Interface" label in the options? Cause there is only this text line title and no settings under the label... So it's useless.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
i think u may have misunderstood his error

he was not trying to download rom zip but only zip file (10Mb) provided by Gokulbalram :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
Are there any news about fixing video playback and youtube playback?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TENN3R:
I've only found a "half" fix (works for internet videos and I think local videos):

-download MX Player

-Open and go into "Decoder" options; set everything you can to S/W.

So when you open chrome or your browser tap on "Play with MX Player".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AAccount:
Getting video playback working in Hardware decoding is easy once you merge this commit https://github.com/AAccount/android_frameworks_av/commit/9a02f2006ca4d92d5fb71f2546af9173793b8f36 and this one https://github.com/AAccount/android_frameworks_av/commit/859097aef1fc0b23c572574bee178c095ec96653. I DID NOT WRITE THESE COMMITS, I JUST FOUND THEM I'm not sure if the second one is necessary but the first is for sure. Once I did that (for me at least) everything worked perfectly. For my device tree and hardware/samsung sources I'm ripping mine from the official nameless sources as they got HW composer working in 5.0.2. I just customized it to make it "omni" compatible.

I wasted all Friday night watching youtube from the tiny screen. I tried the youtube app and youtube.com in desktop mode on chrome.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
OP, could you look at it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Thanks [MENTION=2931572]AAccount[/MENTION]!

I will try this tonight.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
Those commits have improper ownership. Just check the archidroid or nameless repos for frameworks av. There you will find the right commits.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
Great!

rom installed!

It seems smooth (only 10 hours) and seems that everything is working well.

2 question...

1) is there a way to store photo in sd card?

2) any updates, which will be released?

[edit]

I saw in the first post that lollipop version is 5.1.0 but in the settings I see the 5.0.2

Is there another rom repository, or is it only on source (and I have to compile and build rom)?

regards

matpil
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
In this thread, you can find 2 roms, slim and omni. Not sure about slim, but omni version is 5.1

Maybe you downloaded the other rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
and clearly... I have installed the slim :)

tnx

I've experienced some issue with wifi connection: reconnection is not automatically and I've an error as "impossible to connect" when I try to connect in tethering from another smartphone (with slimkat it works fine).

Do you know if there are any patch to merge?

regards

matpil
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Yup thanks [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION], I am going to use the Omni commits as they have been patched a couple of times now to fall into line with the rest of the code base. No doubt they contain the correct ownership :)

Hi [MENTION=1465108]matpil[/MENTION],

I am not working on Slim 5.02 at the moment as I am pretty busy, and the SlimTeam are updating all the sources for 5.1

Once they release they full 5.1 code base I will be straight back on it :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeusalmighty:
Having tried both, I find Omni more stable but has less features. Its also quite fast.

Only problem is it doesn't play videos and GPS has problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
uhm...

I need to test omnirom too.

...and I've to test gps with slimLP.

Have you any issue with wifi on onmi 5.1?

ps. ...and If I install onmirom only wiping cache and dalvik (no data) on my phone? Should work? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
I don't recommend doing this.

You will be jumping from 5.02 to 5.1, so not only do a full wipe but also format system manually, just to be on the safe side.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
anyone got time to test this? I am at work all day....

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554963

latest sources, with AV fix..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
I could try tonite.

Have you the changelog?

matpil
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Added in the Frameworks_av patches by marco that should fix video playback, and updated kernel with nameless sources. Everything else is inline with the omnirom updates.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] omary812:
problem with omni 5.1 rom

i installed the rom, but in settings i cant find anything under the category of "interface".

why is that?..

also i tried SLIM rom but after installation i lost my root, also when i try to root it again it starts freezing< showing errors< random restarts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
for SLIM, you can go to "dev tools" - > "developer options" and enabel root privilege (app and ADB)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TENN3R:
Flashed like an update. Videos are working! Thanks! No "empty" label in the menu, everything works!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Justin Thought:
I'm running the 4/5 Omni, and with VPlayer, video playback is flawless.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
I downloaded and tested:

Youtube Playback: OK

Video Recording (tested stock camera): OK

Video Playing (tested VLC): OK

Those three features were not working in prev build and now works, great work and thank you!!

Only 1 little thing missing: reboot menu still appears on bottom instead of vertically centered. Besides of that, IMHO it is already ready for daily usage
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
Maybe I missed this, but is GPS working in latest build?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
I am still at work so haven't tested, but I have seen that a required commit in /bionic/ has been merged on the 10th, so would like to think so. I have just set off another build with a load of sensor updates on the device side so fingers crossed by the end of the day it will be a full on party with everyone invited
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
I am testing that currently, but does not seem to work.

I downloaded "GPS Status" from google play (I was using that in previous versions so the program should work).

But unfortunatelly, it is more than 5 minutes without detecting any GPS satellite, so I guess it is having problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Just added new build with new sensors taken from replicant. Let me know of any issues, specifically with compass please
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
I just test GPS (with GPS status and google maps) and works fine on SlimLP.

By the way... Tapatalk crash :(

News about omni 5.1 test? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AAccount:
In omni gps can be fixed by using this flag "TARGET_ENABLE_NON_PIE_SUPPORT := true" in board config common of the smdk4412-common device folder. https://github.com/AAccount/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common/commit/b59d9bcd407692a775b1484044a8934e85abd375
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ereziel:
Tested with Sensors box for Android app on google play store.

All present sensors work OK (except for temperature sensor which never worked because I think we don't have)

But GPS still not works. Did not try what AACount suggest as I don't have currently the tools for building my own version (main laptop broke, sorry)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xkons:
I'm looking into flashing this ROM (Omni 5.1) as my daily driver coming from SlimKat 9.

Does listening through bluetooth headphones work?

Bluetooth audio works with my Phillips speaker as well as with my Citroen car audio.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masteq:
Just installed newest Omni. Am I missing something, or are the customisation settings (tiles, etc.) missing in this rom? Also, there is no root. Bad flash, maybe? MD5 is correct.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
No customisation at all. I guess Omni team don't know what that mean:banghead:

Such a shame since i hate Cm and wanted Slim or Omni.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masteq:
Shame indeed, but IMO it's one of the most fluid 5.1 roms, will test for a while despite the lack of customisations, good job OP!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
I agree,i did test it and it's fast but it has nothing,just basics.

I don't use and dont need 95% of stuff in other feature paked roms but i need something. I hope things will change for the better ( hoping for Slim but Omni will do also;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matpil:
So, what issue you found in this omni 5.1?

GPS (can be fixed by patch published some post ago)

WIFI seems OK

Bluetooth seems OK

Video seems OK

Anything else?

Regards

matpil
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
yep i agree completely with you guys on this,it literally does not have any features,its just basic stuff and i mean basic stuff :D

But having many others roms to choose and install i can live with that :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
I far more prefer fast response than many features that I won't use. I'm vacillating between this and CM12.1 but, for me, Omni is much snappier. All I hope for now is functional GPS.

Sent from inner space
[Galaxy S III Android Development] funneydude@gmail.com:
Matpil,

Do you mind linking me to the patch which fixes GPS? I went right through this thread and I must have missed it :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] funneydude@gmail.com:
I don't have any ability to recompile the ROM, and won't for some time. Is there any other way this change can be made manually into the zip file, or into an APK? Or will mcgi5sr2 have to do it to get GPS working for us common folk?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeusalmighty:
I'd like to say to the dev that the latest version is a piece of work! Great response, far more stable than anything else I've used and the battery is good.

Only thing left is the GPS !

Thanks for bringing a usable version of Lollipop on SGS3

PS. I'd suggest to anyone looking for a number of features to try CM12.1. Battery sucks and its hella unstable but hey, features!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] the guys that are complaining about the absence of features with Omni:

The Omni release status is "alpha". What you've got here is a "featureless" version of LP Omni. The customization options would be in the "Interfaces" section of the parameters. You won't probably see them until the status changes to beta.

The i9300 Omni LP build is the only LP version that leaves enough resources for my S3 to be actually usable (no browser crashes, decent multitasking). So I personally can wait for the features to come as long as they don't come at the

cost of stability and speed.

Only shame is that the GPS is currently not working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeusalmighty:
This is also true for me. Actually, I would prefer it not to have any additional features as I know they will affect stability. As soon as GPS is fixed, I'd consider this the best 5.1 daily driver available for the I9300

[MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION] thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinsh7:
best 5.1 rom

I have tried other 5.1 ROM s .

Don't want to name any .

This is by far the best .

Thanks to Developers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AAccount:
Try extracting the linker executable I tared and moving it to /system/bin. Make sure it has 755 permissions(rwxr-xr-x). That should get the gps working. I just pulled that from my self compiled ROM. As always, MAKE SURE you have a backup ready in case it causes a bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masteq:
Another thing - my notification led goes crazy, it blinks even though nothing comes, only reboot helps to get rid of it. Is it known bug?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aalvico:
Do Netflix and Hulu work with latest ROM version ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
Thanks [MENTION=2931572]AAccount[/MENTION], but I did get a bootloop, so had to revert. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
Hi [MENTION=2931572]AAccount[/MENTION] I followed your instructions step by step with success.

My GPS is alive again.

[MENTION=373710]others[/MENTION]: don't forget to un-rar the file and I also changed group ownership of the file to "shell"

Edit: my claim is backed by the GPS test app. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in uploading a screenshot but I can send it on request.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
[MENTION=3265540]SiriusCybernetik[/MENTION], what did you use to set permissions? I'm trying Root Browser (JRummy Apps) with no luck ... it fails upon trying to save the file with new permissions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
I use Es file explorer. Must enable root explorer in the settings.

Before replacing the file, I strongly recommend having a look at the original file's properties, then rename the original one and replace it and restore the permissions as they were for the original one. Reboot and it's ok.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybern8:
Thanks! That worked -- I may have to switch allegiance to Es File Explorer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
I have updated the repos, and the gps should now be fixed. Thanks [MENTION=2931572]AAccount[/MENTION] I had forgotten to change the pie to omnis.

Other updates should include netflix etc working, and wifi p2p etc etc.

Also all sources are now Android-5.1_r5.

Building now, should be up soon

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555528this should be it, hard to say as its got the same name as its predecessor!

I'll make a clean build soon and post that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SiriusCybernetik:
Thank you so much. Now that everything works, I can forget about all other LP roms for i9300.

hey guys, what are the custom kernel for this rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] funneydude@gmail.com:
Tried last night using Root Explorer to change permissions and replace file. Suddenly lost root access AND CAUSED to boot loop.

Updated to 20150415 - Still no luck on GPS.

Decided to try copying linker file again. Tried changing the permissions again, noticed that even though Root Explorer were saying the permissions were changed, they stayed the same. I just had the linker file in my downloads folder. It turns out some installs force permissions on all directories and files in the home directory. Copied linker file outside home directory to "/" And tried again. root explorer allowed me to change permissions and the group owner successfully and they stuck after doing a reboot. Copied to /system/bin/ and...

SUCCESS! I have GPS again! I have video play back! The only thing I don't have is Hotspot, but I can use USB or Bluetooth tethering so I can live without that a little longer. Thank you so much [MENTION=2931572]AAccount[/MENTION] !:laugh:
