Which is better in your opinion, Omni or Carbon?
Thanks.

Yes its pure AOSp which is the source code for every version of Android that
Google pushes to Android open source project repository for developers to
develop further if they so wish. I know maybe this may not be for everyone but
if you are a hobbyist do some research and then proceed. I did have a s3 a long
time back and the two roms that I did ttalk about I did try and I am giving you
my experiences. Maybe in the past cyanogen mod was the best but lately is very
crappy in its approach to accessibility and that sort of stuff. Its up to you.
But if I wanted a rom that would be kept up to date and I could get up and
running with the accessibility jesture which brings up accessibility and the
talkback set up then I would use Omni an carbon. That's just my personal
preference based on what i know works and what I know does not work.

Hi Gary,
I was just listening to a podcast by Mike Arrigo on installing ROMs.
Although it was a couple years old, it was somewhat helpful.
He likes CyanogenROM because it is very "stock Android".
Is Omni or Carbon like that too?
If you say that you can load TalkBack without sighted assistance, that is a
strong persuader.
How about the install process.
Do either or both use a windows installer?
Does one have less steps than the other?
Please excuse any obvious questions, I just want to do this right the first
time.
Thanks.
Glenn

How can I help you. I posted about omni and carbon roms. Cyanogen is not
accessible with the accessibility to start up talkback unless you have someone
sighted help you, so I would avoid cyanogen mod as that may end up being
acquired by Microsoft an then we wont know what will happen to cyanogen mod. So
stick to either omni or carbon for your s3 if you want a working rom that has
accessibility features that you can enable and get talkback up and running on
your own without asking for sighted help. For the initial set up I would just
have a pair of eyes around just in case something does not go as expected, but
after the first initial set up and install, then your good and you can do all
the updating and all that on your own of the rom and the gapps package hwen
need be.

Subject: [vi-android] installing a ROM
Hi All,
I am still studying different ROMS for my Galaxy S3, before proceeding.
On one list, which I cannot get my messages to for some reason,
("eyes-free") and yet I receive the messages, one person posted about OmniROM
and Carbon, and Quentin here posted about CyanogenMod.
I am hoping a screenreader user can inform me of which mods work with a
screenreader, during the install, and then after that, which of the mods work
best with TalkBack.
Maybe there is not much difference with the different mods once they are
installed, as long as they include TalkBack, I just don't know.
Finding information on this from a Blind user's perspective is a challenge.
We need some YouTube videos/audios on this.
Thanks for any information.
Glenn
