2. Some random restart - when opening atutu benchmark phone always restart.
3. there are no interface configuration options, only short "Bars and menus"

 

[Harthouse]

1. No data/mobile connection, APNs missing,
2. No sound, I can't hear any sound, no matter of turning up/down volume control.

No extra settings/options...

Thx, but won't do that... That's a big bug to me. This is alpha build... Waiting for some beta or even more, stable/final release...

Another issues. There is missing video codec or something like that because I can't watch any video on browser and YouTube.

* only noticeable problem at the moment with the omni rom is that the is no button illumination for the 'back' and 'menu' keys;
* the Asian font named app at the end installed apps list after default install, what is this app? <= looks like this app is a lanugage app as came across the same Asian characters in the 'Language & input'

* I can't seem to find were to be able to set my phone to use 3G as apposed to 4G as I get better 3G signal quality. If not available can this feature maybe added?

* Just noticed the call timer does not work all calls made show 0 mins 0 secs no matter how long you been on the phone call

BUG: unable to receive calls

I have been getting SMS of missed calls but my phone never rings, but I get a SMS of the missed call. I have tested this myself were I have rang myself from another couple mobile numbers, on the calling out phone it rings as it would for a mobile phone that is turned on, but my i9305T does not ring.

I have restarted the i9305T and retested with the same resaults.


This also a clean install of omni rom dated 20131022

 

[Harthouse]

Is this ROM compatible with 9305T anyway?

Thanks quail. I put a note in the OP yesterday saying that I need to include SamsungRIL. Haven't got a chance to do this as yet. I'll do it as soon as I can...

That is probably the reason for the issue you describe above.

@mcampbellsmith cheers, looking forward to next rom update, hopefully it contains the needed RIL
