[Q] Omega v8 and franco#8 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if the question is really dumb, but is there a way to use omega rom and franco kernel without getting the camera black strip on right side???

And also does the black strip affect pics taken with the camera at all? franco kernel is too good to give up and am willing to live with the camera bug if it doesnt affect anything:laugh: i took some pics and it doesnt seem to affect anything. this my first android and rooted phone so sorry for noob questions

Go into the Dev section, there is a whole thread about the FFC and banding issues. There is no fix, but those guys are awesome and are tinkering with the voltages and ISO settings to try to optimize it. They are making good progress but it is slow going. Since you have an FFC now I'm sure they could use an extra guinea pig to test out new ideas they have.
I am actually pretty shocked that you went through the whole process of installing an FFC without running into that thread. Or maybe you bought a vibrant with it already installed?
Yeah this is very well known. Even the new Vibrant 4g rom
still has some sorta banding even though they say its not as bad.
i saw a vid on youtub on how to install ffc, ordered the cam from ebay, and stuck it in.all and all very easy. all vid chat apps i find on market use rear cam any ideas?
axura 2.2 on vibrant.
i use eugenes gingerbread cook, works on tango and fring

[Q] SGS2 Camera DEAD...Pls HELP!

Hi all,
Well...i bought phone 3 days ago and everything was working perfectly on stock rom.Then like most of us I wanted to root phone and install custom in this case Litening rom....after that my camera is not working anymore,when I start camera its stays black and after few sec i got camera error.
I have try to install few other roms like villianrom,miui darkys etc but none help,I even try to put some diferent kernels and modems but same.
Ive noticed in some other threads that can be issue with camera firmware,in my case I dont have it in samsung apps for update.
My curently camera firmware is SCE009 and if somebody has some other like the latest one SCE002 or at least tell me where I can download I will be more than thankfull cause i think this is my only and last chance to fix camera and its little frustrating when you buy phone like this and then something is not working properly.
Thank you,Mat
Oh, really sad to hear that. That's why I hate flashing this and that.

Why bump an old thread? To answer your question, try flashing the hacked camera. Or take pictures in better light.

[Q] Battery mod and Camera working even under 15% battery?

Sorry for the rather ominious title. But its hard to actually picking a proper title for some subject :/
I have had a SGS2 for a couple months now and I have had a few issues with it that I hope some of you might be able to help with.
1:
I stood at an army training ground and was recording FullHD video with the phone but when it dropped to 15% battery it refused to record anymore or take pictures. Is there some way to "mess with" or hack it to simply keep recording till the battery is dead?
2:
I had a circular battery mod for my phone which worked fine of the original rom which was KE7 for a Nordic phone. But now trying to flash the same battery mod with CWM bootloops my phone . I have tried to see if I can find any battery mods like it, but the only ones I have been able to find so far has been the kind that uses the regular battery icon and just adds the percentage.
I would actually like the circular one as I prefer that one, but is there even one that would work on the KH3 Rom?
3:
I see people mentioned Deodexed and odexed as terms, but what does that mean and what is the actual difference between the 2 of them?
I hope someone might be able and willing to help with either all of the 3 questions or just some of them. And thanks in advance for your time.

I see you use CMW recovery so you must be rooted
this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
Along with the Villain tweak app provides everything your after easily.
There are also lots of themes in the thme section for your tweeking needs
This is a KG6 rom but there isnt much difference imho.
Deodexing basically means files/things are easier to mess around with.
Problem is I like the stock feel of the Rom, hence why I have never really bothered flashing something like MRC, Cynoagen, Villian etc.
I prefer to just keep things normally and then "tweak" the few things I am not entirely happy with. So I was primarily looking for fixes/hacks that could be applied on an existing rom rather then a full new rom entirely.
But thanks for the suggestion regardless

A man after my own heart! thats good because Villain is completely stock Samsung just pretty much Deodexed, no themes no bulls**t.
The only tweaks/themes that are applied will be by you
Also If you like Cyanogen you could always check the version for the sgs2 its pretty complete now only a few things left to sort out (bluetooth being the major one).
Well I just flashed the KH3 rom just the other day and I would like to actually give that one a tryout before deciding to try another rom .
But the only thing that really bugs me is why the phone so stubbornly decides to stop wanting to use the camera at 15%. I mean there must be a hacked camera.apk out there that works for me ratehr then having to flash a completely different rom to get what I "want".

Fuzzy/blurry text

Does anyone else notice the ugly presentation of letters? Text looks blurry around the edges, kind of like when you have a picture with text in it and you increase jpeg compression. You get those tiny artifacts around the edges of small objects, this is what text on the S3 reminds me of.
I know it has a pentile Display, but can this be somehow improved? I had the syiah kernel and was under the impression it was less severe. I think there was a tweak under the "screen" section that did something to aleviate the problem. But maybe I'm just imagining things...
I'm completley on stock and unrooted now so I can't go back and check
Any input on this would be appreciated!
Btw: The fuzzy text can best be seen with black text on gray background, .e.g. when wieving stuff in play store!
Ok, I believe the setting that made the fonts look better is called "mDNIe Sharpness Tweaks". Is there a way to get this without syiah? I have ordered the i9305 and siyah kernel is not supported sadly
Choosing the a different font can help in some situations. I do not know if this is relevant in your situation but it is worth mentioning.

There is no CM for the i9305 and probably never will be. However the Perseus kernel supports the i9305 and it has the very same tweak!
Just wondering, no one else is feeling like text on stock rom looks utter crap? It literally hurts my eyes because they try to refocus all the time because of the blurry text. Bad Samsung, just bad
I do..

I'm going to buy one.. but I even don't like the blurry text!
My girlfriend has the Ace2, but even there it is blurry. I will see if there is some Android setting, but for now.. I can't find it.
We'll keep in touch.
Kind regards,
Gerard

Have you tried changing the Screen Mode (Settings >> Display) to Dynamic and turning off Adaptive Display? I find this helps with overly sharp text a lot.
P.S. I used to use the Perseus kernel on the i9300 and it didn't have a simple on/off sharpness tweak, I think putting Amount on -128 and Radius & Threshold at +128 was the closest I got.
