Hey I was just looking into Omega ROM also earlier..
then got  rclxub.gif because the documentation was like very large..

So you went to Omega Download Center under the S3  I9300 section
http://omega-roms.net/blog/?page_id=763

Please tell me how the ROM is compared to your stock ROM (I'm assuming u're still stock rooted?)
Especially the battery life  laugh.gif

Ya i DL my omega from that site. Unfortunately, i havent install it. Still abit paranoid cuz 1st time lol wink.gif

yeah me too. I'm still stock and rooted a few days ago  laugh.gif
I came from a single core phone (well a dual core most recent) user, but this S3 just blew me away.
Especially with it's multiwindow and motion feature like swipe to snapshot and stay awake and smart display option..

I wouldn't flash custom ROM if my battery life were better.. which I think it should.

Anyway, remember to do a nandroid backup! (Dunno if you guys still call it nandroid hahaha).
I did mine when I first got the phone. At least can restore if something went wrong somewhere.

Hopefully got time and mood to flash Omega tomorrow. I found this useful post by gnarg @ XDA

i cannot count how many times i have flashed my phone, but every time before flashing new rom, i will backup data using free app which is super backup (backup apps without data, contacts, sms, call logs, calenders, and bookmarks) and titanium backup.

super backup, i used to backup contact + sms + logs + calenders.

titanium backup, i used to backup everything. including things that i have backup using super backup. i have no reason for doing that. maybe its for safety i guess.

after flash new rom, only download titanium from playstore, after that, restore all or things that i wanted only. usually only takes up to 30 minutes to complete flashing new rom and also to restoring data and apps.

Just now before i flash a new rom. I backup my data using CWM and titanium for app. Contacts i sync with goggle. After factory reset and everything. Successfully install the new rom. When i try to recover my contacts by syncing with goggle again. It's not there! Dont know wat went wrong. Now i only have the contacts frm my whatsapp that i backup using titanium rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
