hi Gang.
I have beenusing gingerdx for about 1 month, all ok. today i updated to v17. had to reinstall email.apk, facebook and soundcloud as they were FC'ing all the time. now they are fixed.
I have the following 2 issues
1 camera button not open camera
2 home button not working as expected. I have set it to open homescreen on short press and open app list on long press. neither work.
when phone in standby, pressing the home jey turns the screen on. nothing else.
any help?
thanks
I can answer only for question 1, because I dont use preinstaled launcher.
For camera button: I must long press camera button (about 1,5 sec. - phone must short vibrate) to start camera app.
I have also recently given GDX a second attempt from FB. I am also facing the same problem with the home button not working, exactly as you explain it. Wierd. I've got a E15a if that helps...
I also can't get any of the lock screen options to work, pattern, pin or password work. Everything's enabled but when I bring the phone off stand-by there is no unlocking option, just goes straight to home screen.
Edit: After someone testing, I think I figured out why this was happening. The issue happens when I flash GDX from FB or if I do a full wipe and use titanium backup to restore system data. So I believe there was some sort of incompatibility between GDX and FB settings. At the moment it seems more stable (or so I hope). If you want to keep your contacts, call log, messages etc, on TB just tick contacts storage, dialer storage and media storage and leave the rest unchecked.

Hi ,
Any news regarding the home button lag ?
I don't mean the wake up lag, which is annoying too but it's hardware issue.
I mean the home button lag, which means any program I running, and pressing the home button, it takes something like 1-2 seconds to return to home screen !!
I know this issue has been raised 1000 times (!!!) and that is the exact reason I am talking about this, it's annoying so many people, so how could it happen that it hasn't been resolved yet ?!
This is 100% software issue , CM7 for example doesn't have that. But I don't want to use CM7 ....
I also have it and it drives me crazy.
Disable voice2go and the other parts of the samsung TTS thing, use titanium backup or something, you will need to be rooted.
As when you press the home button it is waiting to see if you are going to double press it to activate the voice control.

Did that, it doesn't help mate.
Oliwe has figured out a solution that requires some dev expertise:

I tried it myself and failed, but I'm sure ROM cookers will start implementing this ASAP.
Still a non issue
1. the battery display isn't correct when I turn off the phone and restart again. It turns 42% to 35% immediately. After I undergraded to 4.0.4, it turns back to 43% again.
2. My Wechat app can not open QQsnyc, it turns black and nothing happens.（not important）
3. I touch the menu button, and touch the Setting icon but it won't open.While I open the apps icons on main screen, if I touch menu button, three icons will appear on background, namely Wallpaper, Widgets and Settings, really do not know why.
4.Yep lots of apps can not run on ART. But this is not your problems i guess.
5.The internet browser will shut sometime for no reason.
Thanks so much for this wonderful rom.

1) - Nothing to do with Omni. The entire Galaxy S2 family (anything with a MAX17040 fuel gauge) has done this since day one - Touchwizz, CM, Omni, doesn't matter.
2) No clue here. A recent merge of Qualcomm stuff to frameworks/av appears to have broken some camera/video stuff on Exynos devices. Unfortunately the merge happened just before the Thanksgiving holiday so a number of us were spending a few days with family and haven't had time to get things cleaned up.
3) Not sure, guess that might be a launcher bug. I admit, I use Apex...
4) That's common to any device with kitkat
5) Haven't had this happen to me yet... Would need a logcat to take a look.
same problem

how to submit a bug report
Am new to OMNI and would like to submit a bug report.
Where can I find instructions to do that?
Hi I am on 4.4.2 stock rom rooted. All of a sudden the multitasking key on my S5 when held no longer brings up the menu in any app or home screen it just opens the multitasking as if I pressed it instead of holding. Also, I can no longer take screenshot via pressing the home button and power button at the same time as it just opens Google now. I have home2 launcher installed to open Google now instead of svoice but this does no longer works as well. I am not sure how the problem occurred out of the blue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

First, you have to distinguish between the key failing to work per se and a key that works fine but does a different action than you expected. If you meant the latter, then simply reassign the function that you prefer to the key.
You said that you had a third party launcher change a key action which no longer works. So go back to your custom launcher settings and reinitialize that setting again. If your app doesn't let you adjust those settings, then reinstall the app to have your key preference set again. Or use an app like xposed to remap the key function.
Another example that you cited was the "multitasking key". That isn't a standard label, so it's uncertain which key you are referring to, but probably you mean the left soft key, located to the left of the home button. Test it by dialing *#0*#
Then Sub key on the hardware test menu
Inevitably the test will show that the key works fine and you just need to remap it's function.
Likewise with your screen shot issue. Go back to whatever app setup that key combination to take a screen shot with those two keys and reset it again.

Thanks for the reply, how do you go about remapping the softkey. The screenshot issue has nothing to do with a third party app I have uninsulated all launchers and used the stock touchwiz launcher and the problem persists. All buttons work fine for around 30 seconds after I boot then they start acting as previously mentioned which leads me to believe it's an app that has somehow changed the functions of the hardware keys. I just wanted to know if anyone had a clue what's causing it as I have tried and it is driving me up the wall.

Please use paragraphs, those walls of text are hard to read.
Agreed that it sound like apps loading after boot are customizing the key functions in ways that you don't like. You can disable or uninstall as many apps as possible and add them back one at a time to see which ones cause problems. Or, as mentioned previously, use xposed framework to remap the key functions.
You're hoping for a short cut in having someone name what specific apps are involved. That's a long shot at best that someone would just happen to know. And you should have at least listed all of the apps on your phone to narrow it down.. or help jog someone's memory.

Home key and app swap soft key not working
I have a galaxy s5 and just updated to lollipop 5.0 and then the home key and app swap key stopped working. Also it was running very slowly and I thought maybe it was because I had 384 apps installed (11 gig). Anyway it was driving me crazy but I didn't want to perform a factory reset. Too many programs into to lose..
I followed the instruction to take out the SD card and SIM card and restart without the SIM card and they started working again so I replaced the SIM card and it works fine now..
Thank you forum..

Please help me
Hi,
First of all, my home button don't work correctly. When I do a simple click and a long click, absolutely nothing happens. But if I do a double click, it does work fine.
Secondly, some overlays don't comes up, like notification or volume changing pop-up or Facebook messenger chat heads just showing the wallpaper not the chat.
Finally, when I receive links from message or mail and click on it and it opens chrome (it's the default one) but it doesn't open the link.
Sometimes ago, I had just the 2 first problems. And just by restarting my phone all was gone.
But now I get all the 3 problems. I tried to factory reset my phone and it fixed the problem but then I had to restart my phone. And all the problems were back.
I got the galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with the firmware N9005XXUGBOJ2.
Thank you in advance for the help
from time to time I got my backscreen all black, mirroring still works but unable to bring back the widgets, usually I restarted the device to recover but now I have found a much more simple solution, just launch the tutorial, and the widgets are back !
hi, i have the same problem, currently running Lollipop.
I've find out that when this happens you can "refresh" the backscreen by launching the YotaHub app and do a long press on the home button, then swipe to the refresh icon on the left.
Still don't know what causes this issue
