great rom finally on base, 4.3 excellent, the best, fast, which kernel version you have to put JWR or JSS?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
I believe CM10.2 is JSS only.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's my own kernel compiled from CM source with Linaro 4.8 for maximum performance.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ryk k:
ok it is a splinter, something never seen before, congratulations for the work, I only regret not being able to use touch controls
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Whats wrong with touch controls?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ferry.82:
There is any way To chance navbar DPI??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
I guess he's referring to Touch Control PGM app which works with select kernels.

I haven't used CM for quite sometime, but if you're looking to use pie full time the expanded desktop mode will do it. Status bar used to be visible in that mode in CM10.1
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mondaza:
I will test this rom :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Dark Fear:
hi dear

can you add animation control from AOKP? it's very Awesome!!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kc_Nirvana:
Thanks for the new version....

:) :) :)

Your update app tell me that there is a new update of Sentinel Rom 4.75 versin.

Dont know if bug or you just hadnt time to update version
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Droid2drummer:
Hey old friend. I'm here to test. You know I've missed ya.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry. Sometimes the server takes a while to refresh. it should be OK now :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dancingtortoise:
man, just clean installed and my play store keeps saying cannot connect to server. tried wiping play store/services cache. re-entering my google acccount and nothing worked.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Did you install the correct 4.3 gapps package?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dancingtortoise:
yes, ive used the same one for all 4.3 ROMS from 7/29. even d.led the cm gapps from 8/13.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Raphael17:
Titanium=Bad Battery?

Will Titanium Backup still give me bad battery if I only install the apps without data (with the exception of hardcore games that I don't want to loose progress one like Asphalt and MC4)?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kc_Nirvana:
It was a global google playstore error...

Nothing to do with rom...

Should be resolved by now
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sir_gpm:
If we want to install custom kernel wich version should we install jss or jwr?

Enviado desde mi Nexus 4 usando Tapatalk 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Cm10.2 is JSS, as i believe may have been mentioned a page or two before this one.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dancingtortoise:
Damn. Already restored my back up.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TheNerd:]:
Does this use cm's caf branch libs and binaries? Because this causes major problems for aosp based kernels andd other things
[Nexus 4 Android Development] shinigenEddy:
Would it be possible for someone to upload a mirror to 4.7.5? Android 4.3 still seems slightly unstable ATM with these random deadlocks and battery drain issues and I think I would like to give 4.2.2 a shot again, with the previous version of this ROM. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
HERE
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
deadlocks are there in this ROM? I thought CM team had fixed it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TheNerd:]:
Sentinel please answer my queo
[Nexus 4 Android Development] haget83:
I cant useViper4Android , any tips? :confused:

Sentinel was the best rom i ever tryed on my SII.

Glad to have this back on my n4 :victory:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sblast:
Oh yeah..welcome back, I was in the wait :angel:.

Please drop LMt tho...it's bugged (recent apps button) and it not as half as good as PA's PIE or even SLIM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] [zozi]:
Hi, thanks for this great ROM, its the first time i used and i loved. Thanks... Even LMT i dont think its buggy, i use all day and i dont have any problem. Only one think open my curiosity, sometimes my phones freeze for a secound normaly when i wrote some mensage... Any one have this problem?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sropedia:
I'm also getting random freezes while typing messages. They seem to happen most frequently when I'm using a custom keyboard like swiftkey
[Nexus 4 Android Development] luiseteyo:
Freezes and deadlocks still there? I thught it had been fixed. I was going to swich to this rom but.... Will keep in stock.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] devang98:
Can any one share how I can get the weekly weather widget, I can not see one in the widgets section, attached image is what I am looking for.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kc_Nirvana:
Its an app...

Eye in sky I think
[Nexus 4 Android Development] [zozi]:
Im using the stock keyboard and i have that freeze... Weird thing....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mumaster20:
Its called a deadlock, and it has been in JSS builds of 4.3 for the n4 since launch.

If you dont want those freezes, you need to use a JWR based rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chainer22:
hows the stability and battery life for v5.00??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Not to nitpick, but i believe DEADlocks and WAKElocks are entirely different.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mumaster20:
Whooooops, typo :cyclops:

Was fixing some of my wakelocks today, so thats why :D

But it is called a DEADlock yes.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] [zozi]:
Very good batery.. I cant show you my batery today because is charging but i have 1d10h and 3h.40min of screen...

I dont know the others butine os very very good it is the frist time i can get this time.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] devang98:
Thanks that helped
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Maurice5813:
is deadlock still a issue?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OsSkates1996:
So I'm gonna flash this ROM later today and I'm pretty excited :) how's the customization options? Can you change the softkey colors and the battery and clock colors? That would for sure be a keeper :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
v6.00 is ready for beta testing if anyone's keen.

First 2 to reply here get the job.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mnajem:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
New version is here!!

20/11/2013:-

v6.00 -

*ROM rebuilt completely from scratch

*Updated to latest CM11 source (Android 4.4.2)

*Adds all the latest CM features.

NOTE: A Full wipe is highly recommended as this is a new ROM base.

NOTE: You must install the latest Android 4.4 GAPPS Package after flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Yusei:
It's been a long time Sentinel!

Good to see u around again ;)

Downloading now bro.

Report back later
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Yusei:
Flawless ROM as usual.

I'm using it with black chocolate kernel and what a great combo.

Thx Sentinel!

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION]

Can u update the screenshots:D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Will do as soon as I get a chance. If someone who has a Nexus 4 can send me some it'd be even better!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Yusei:
Ss of my device.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] j.o.j.o.:
as always the best rom especially for games, just wanted to add support for OTG cable to please, having trouble to create a profile. : Good:

I went to install FRANCO kernel and the screen went all pink Anyone know if this kernel is compatible with this rom?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iG0tB0lts:
Battery Life!?

Could anyone tell me what the battery life is? People say amazing battery life, but could anyone post some On Screen times or something? What's your experience?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iG0tB0lts:
Okay, just tried this ROM and I get some pretty good screen on time..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xjedi:
I searched the thread but all I could find was the request to include LTE enabled code by a user. Does this rom have the LTE enable option yet? If not I'll just flash the hybrid baseband and select LTE in the phone information. At least I think that's the procedure. LOL
[Nexus 4 Android Development] j.o.j.o.:
Update v7 ???:D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hi everyone,

Important information regarding future development HERE

Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback guys!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jlear3:
Ran nearly all day with airmax kernel. Forgot to set my min back down after a antutu run so my cpu was at 1.5ghz the entire day. Still got 2.5 hrs sot on 3g haha. Cannot wait until tomorrow after a full charge cycle and having the cpu @ normal frequencies
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
LMAO. Nice!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ibkevin:
Not sure about the rest of the gapps but you can update the playstore yourself now. Theres an apk you can download and install without even needing to uninstall your current playstore. You can check out a video for it by zedomax on youtube. I hope Im not doing anything wrong by plugging zedomax? If so then I apologize xda.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jarjar124:
You can always flash another updated gapps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ridearoundsolo:
This one is really good any chance of seeing pa's pie instead of cm's?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
The link to download the latest GAPPS is in the OP.

GAPPS are not included in the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
No. Performance suffers when you start cherrypicking core features.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jlear3:
Thank you for understanding this! I'd rather have a rock solid rom with plenty of features than a buggy rom with all of them. Anyways, there's like 30 roms that currently have pas pie...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bluefoxreg:
Awesome ROM!!! There's noticeable improvement when I run my games!! Can't wait to see what kind of improvements I can get out of the battery life!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks mate. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] the_maker:
What are you doin' here :D crawling the threads LOL.. Just to say hi!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Lol!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Goku80:
lol hey buddy...well i tried every single rom and i can not stop flashing roms so i thought i try this bad boy out...and very impressed....:D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mumaster20:
Do you mean the Air Kernel?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jlear3:
Yeahhhh
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
So hows the battery life going for you? I've had my One X sitting on standby with Wifi switched on and it's been running 3 days and is down to 70% battery. I'll post some screenshots on Facebook and my website once its down to 10% battery, which will probably be in a week. lol. Hopefully it's jsut as good with the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Hello Sentinel. Been on this ROM for the past week and everything is awesome. Have 2 tiny feature requests though:

1. Can we remove the annoying safe volume pop up?

2. Option to display ram usage bar in the recents view.

Best regards!

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

Don't know about the others but I lose approx 4-5%/hr with the phone on standby with WiFi. Stock cm kernel, stock voltages, stock min/max freqs. Only change is that I use interactive instead of ondemand, although ondemand behaves similarly. Been like this since day one across all kernels and ROMs I have tried.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Good suggestions. I'll look into it for the next build.

That battery drain is WAY more than normal. Do I understand correctly that thats the battery life you're getting on all ROMs and kernels?

What HBOOT are you on?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lowrider262:
Looks nice, I'm downloading now... just one question, has anyone experienced the data drops that the latest cm builds have been having on this rom?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Sorry mate, I do not understand that. Isn't HBOOT only for HTC devices? I'm on a Nexus 4 here.

If you are referring to the bootloader, provided below is the info I see when I go into the fastboot mode:

HW Version - rev_11

Bootloader version - MAKOZ10o

Baseband - .48

Signing - production

SECURE BOOT - enabled

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
LMAO. My bad. I lost track of which device I was dealing with :S
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I haven't had any reports, but I'll leave it up to the users to respond....

I've been holding off on the next build until the issues with CM and data are sorted by the CM team as everything seems to be OK with the source sync I did for this ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Lol! I suspected that too :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] brian88:
Amazing Rom !!! Battery life is awesome. But please add longpress nav button in the next update. It'll make this Rom be the best :D

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Do you mean the menu that comes up when you drag up from the home button? If so.. it's there... if not, what exactly do you mean?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] android88:
You have your normal nav keys right? He's asking for a way to add longpress stuff to them. So you would have your "normal" hit and then a longpress.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Ahh right! Got ya!

I'll check it out for future builds :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jdc15:
Hi! Flashed this ROM the other day; most things are looking good so far - smooth UI (unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it to), no crashes or anything. Battery life is about 4-5% drain per hour (similar to others' reports).

However, I can't seem to get the camera to focus. I'm a bit new to the latest version of Android so at first I thought I was doing something wrong but when I tap to focus the indicator remains red. Can anyone else confirm? Not sure if it's the ROM or I messed it up somehow.

Thanks again OP!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lethalfriend:
Perfect performance so far, Solid & Steady :) Keep up the good work sentinel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I've begun work on v4.30. Updates will be posted on the Facebook page. I'll post back here when its launched.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mumaster20:
Seems to be an awesome rom as far as i can tell, i only have one question.

I recently bouught some headphones for my nexus 4, which dont have the mic and button, so i cant switch between songs when the phone is in my pocket. Now i know that CM10.1 has the option to control music with the volume keys, while the screen is off. Does this rom have that feature aswell?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sure does. Any feature in Cm10.1 is also in this ROM, plus my music player app adds a bunch of extra playback options.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mumaster20:
Allright! Thanks for the über fast response ^^
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ridearoundsolo:
This rom is so stable I keep coming back can't wait till next version drops
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
downloading and gonna report as soon as i can......!!

ps. 219 mb..... ??

thats what i call an overdose...! :P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] brian88:
No, it's not, sir. This is exactly what I mean, the top of screenshot :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
OK I understand what you mean now. I'll see what I can do for the next build, but any additional process that has to run in the background to detect events will ultimately slow things down.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bluefoxreg:
I guess a bit technical question regarding the ROM, but is this ROM build with Linaro 4.7 toolchain?

Others seems to suggest that it'll provide further performance enhancements.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] davwman:
Semaphore released a cm10 version of his kernel. Works awesome!

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
No I'm not using Linaro toolchain, I'm going to look at it for the next release though as I've heard good things.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vangelis13:
This is getting better and better.. ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bluefoxreg:
Thanks for the update! However, I'm not sure if its just me or the OTA updater, but its showing "There was an error with the download!" error message when I try to update it through OTA. Guess I'll just flash it with TWRP?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sortry about that. OTA should be fixed now. For some reason the update didn't stick on the server. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bluefoxreg:
Thanks for the quick response, updated!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
No worries. Bed time now. Will check the thread in the morning :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tommymac1039:
Is the 4.3 update for nexus 4 as well it just 7?

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

Still getting ota update error do I downloaded from website and went into recovery and tried there and it says error download or flash failed? Guess I'll stay on 4.20 for now Nooooo complaints there ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's an update for Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. As well as Nexus 10 and HTC One X. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hows 4.30 going so far guys?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lethalfriend:
Its great so far performance and stability wise, just one thing that battery drainage is a bit more than the previous build, maybe its due to the Franco's latest kernel, I am not sure though. Otherwise you have done a great job and keep it up.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Thanks mate. hard to really say if you're using a different kernel. It also might take a few power cycles to settle. Let me know how you get on :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lethalfriend:
Sure, i'll give it some more time and will revert with further feedback. Good luck for the future builds ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmeriKan47:
Since updating to 4.3 I have not found any bugs or issues yet. I did switch over to matr1x 8.5 kennel and battery seems to be very good. Over the next few days I will keep monitoring how everything is going and let you know if I have any issues. For now though I am really enjoying how smooth and responsive this ROM is and I will be Curtis to see what your future builds consist of. Great job so far.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vangelis13:
^^

No need to change that dramatically..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] brian88:
I can not download the latest version :( both on phone and pc
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vangelis13:
Using Chrome on my PC it downloaded just now in 30 seconds..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Download is working fine for me. Anyone else having problems downloading?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Just downloaded fine using Chrome on my phone. Maybe just connection issues? New host is retarded fast. Been running this on my n7 and loving it (idle drain is too good!) , looking forward to giving it a whirl on my n4 now.

Gonna try and let the stock kernel settle for a bit, and maybe hop over to something else if I feel the need. Thanks for bringing sentinel to us. Also, digging the music app so far.

Thanks again for your work!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Hello mate. I seem to be having the wifi connection drops as mentioned by another guy previously. Might be a CM bug, just not sure. Phone seems to drop wifi connectivity randomly. I have the wifi icon up and it shows connected but the icon isn't 'blue'. All my other devices (such as laptops) etc seem to be connected fine to the wifi. After I toggle wifi once, it seems to be ok for a while again. Please do lemme know if I can help in any way such as logcats etc. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DontPushButtons:
That's odd, I haven't noticed any yet
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I ran a ping logger on my one X and Nexus 10 with no dropouts at all for 4 days before i released this ROM, so I'm really surprised people are having issues.

Unfortunately I don't have a N4 myself so it's ahrd to test further.

I assume you are all running from a fresh install with my kernel....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Sentinel 4.20 was a fresh install. I updated from Sentinel 4.20 to 4.30 by flashing the 4.30 zip and gapps and then wiped cache and dalvik. Kernel etc is the stock included kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm not sure what to suggest as it's hard for me to test any further.

Is it worse compared to other ROMs?

I know my Stock ROM Xperia Z drops out constantly, and before that my HTC One X did the same on stock Jellybean and ARHD. From what I've read it seems like a common issue with Jellybean, but I havent experienced it with my ROM on any of the devices I physically own and test on (Nexus 10 and HTC One X).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Droid2drummer:
Hey bro. Fyi. Had same WiFi halts every few seconds as well on several other ROMs all recent. So I think its something a few have updated in the source? Anyway I'd check those latest commits?

But don't rely on my input too much as I can't even figure out my win 8. Remember? Lmao.. I'll get with you later bro on FB...;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adityak28:
Hey, that's alright mate. I'll try some other CM based ROMs and report back. I really like Sentinel ROM a lot. Especially cos you aren't rude like some of the other devs and are willing to listen to what your ROM's users say. This quality will take you a long way. :cheers:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Yeah I'm thinking the same thing.

I'll look at the commits in close detail before the next build. For those having Wi-Fi issues, your best bet might be to go back to v4.20 for now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I'm working on some ADB issues with the One X build at the moment, but I'll try and get onto this Wi-Fi thing tonight. I had a quick look earlier and it would seem its a CM related problem, so we may have to wait for some future updates from the CM team before this can be resolved.

I don't like to deviate too much from the core CM code as they are far more experienced than I am!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jimpsar:
hello,

using ur rom and it works great atm.no fc's no lags .

have some bluetooth disconnections but dunno if its rom or cm or nexus 4 issue.

wifi no issue atm.

want to ask if by any chance your kernel will work with touch control app?

thank you sentinel.keep it up !
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hi mate,

A few people reported Bluetooth issues with Nexus 7 after coming from different ROMs without a full system partition wipe. Maybe give that a shot?

As for the touch control app. I'm not sure. You may have to test it. If it works with CM10.1 it will work with mine.
