Just a question,

i made a clean install with the latest rom.

But everytime when I longpress an app in the private guard iam getting a force close from the settings.

any clue?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BobWalker:
Although I have not been using Privacy Guard previously, I am able to select individual applications in Settings --> Security --> Privacy Guard by clicking the application icon to highlight the shield for that application. Thereafter, when I launch an application for which Privacy Guard has been enabled, I receive a notification that Privacy Guard is active and that the application will not be able to access personal data. Long pressing an application icon does force close Settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OsSkates1996:
Are the gapps included in the ROM?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

As with almost every other custom ROM : no they are not included.

You'll have to install GApps yourself after you have rebooted your device.

Does expanded desktop hide the nav bar on the latest build?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BobWalker:
The preferred method of hiding the NavBar in Odyssey is to use Settings --> Hybrid settings and change the NavigationBar height to zero. This change will be applied on the fly.

If you prefer to hide the NavBar permanently more or less, you can use Settings --> Navigation --> Power menu --> Expanded desktop to select Hide navigation bar and use the Power menu to enable Expanded desktop; however, the NavigationBar will continue to display until after you reboot the phone. The NavigationBar will then remain hidden until you change the appropriate setting(s) and reboot the phone again.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Toobie:
Stable and an excellent battery duration atm.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sblast:
No. But you can use the hybrid settings (that's what I do)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Toobie:
Is there any way to get "adfree" working?

I guess because of the "slim rom" it cannot be activated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] karanrajpal14:
AFAIK, adfree servers have been down for quite some time. It isn't working for me either and I'm currently on PA. But adaway is working fine. You should try it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Toobie:
I will give it a try, thank you.

What about switching to a different kernel? anyone tried it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BobWalker:
You will need to choose a JWR or JWR/JSS hybrid kernel to use with Odyssey. I am currently using Purified kernel r172 with good results.

I've been working on a new project ... Look for an all new ROM in original android dev section soon... Its aosp base this one will be the best ROM ever ... As of now its bone aosp stock linaro 4.3.1 we can all build it together .. Gravity|Z .. Stable as stock and twice as fast.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hankchan909:
I'm so exciting to hear this news,can't wait to flash your new ROM,good job man:good::good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Gravity|Z 4.4kk is now booting on mako...

need to fix a few things and its pure aosp as of now but will be posting soon.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Hey $droyd$

Any chance I'll be seeing your work on the nexus 5?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Maybe I missed something but is your ROM available already ?

A must would be if you'd have a beta version for the Grouper as I had to reinstall it and now have a clean stock Grouper to use :)

And if you need help to translate the ROM and computing power to compile it, I'd be glad to help...

Regards.

Hi Droyd,

Any news from your new project ?

NexusPenguin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BobWalker:
Please give $droyd$ a chance to test and improve his new ROM. He is an excellent developer and will release what he has to the community as soon as he is ready. There are lots of ports and AOSP ROMs available for those who don't have the patience to wait for a well built ROM (not that other ROMs may not be well built too). Google has not even released the factory occam KRT16M image yet.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi Bob,

Yes, I know that. I love his ROM's and was sad to see he abandoned this one.

I can wait... I was just asking because in his last posts he seemed to say that he was really close to conclusion and that he only needed some minor tests...

But maybe I understand that wrong... or "minor tests" at this point require more time than I suspected. I have NEAR TO ABSOLUTE ZERO development knowledge, so can't estimate what that means :)

So I just let him take it's time :) no problems...

Regards.

Everything seems to be working great I just want to at least get nav bar remap active before release.. As I said its bone stock so as of now there's no button remap or status bar customizations.. But the button remap is a must have before initial release.. However it is very stable ..

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Yadro:
Great job.

I flashed beta a hour ago.was just messing with it.flashing beta3 now.

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Would also like to know what issues you guys are having. I'm not having any at all .. I hope your experience is the same...

Don't worry about posting .. I don't always yell lol..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BobWalker:
Odyssey ROM is working great!

I did find a minor issue: Checking "Use dark theme" in Messaging app settings has no effect. Even after saving settings, closing Messaging, and reopening the Messaging app it continues to use the default (light) theme.

I think PIE works great, by the way. Although I previously preferred using PIE with two rows of buttons, I am getting used to the minimalist approach and definitely appreciate being able to use PIE even when the onscreen keyboard is displayed.

I shearch a lot for something like that but didn't find a flashable zip ! Please tell me how ! If you don't like to put here PM me !!! Thank's a lot your ROM is beautifull and fast ! Good work !:silly::victory:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
You trying to do it in source...?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bixano:
Nope ! I already compile the ROM and just want to add this transitions! I think it has a flashable zip to do it or change something in the rom after it's compiled, in my old galaxy s3 had a flashable zip with some animations but never found this kind ! Please tell me ! =D thank's a lot !

Sorry my bad english !
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Droid2drummer:
Your compiling from source ...but asking how to add an animation? Lol Got ya. I'm positive your asking where not how. Right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Its easier in source but for a complete ROM you'll need to replace all the folders in framework res that say animation in the title with mine.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bixano:
Yep ! Kkkkk my english is very bad ! I'm trying to express me, but yes, I want to know where can I find this transitions Animations, or how can i put this in my rom! Sorry ! :p

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Flaiker:
Nice the theme is back :)

So I am on the latest Illusion atm. Do I just wipe and flash this or do I need to install stock 4.2, let it update to 4.3 and then wipe and flash (because of new drivers)?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
Why dont you rather flash stock 4.3

And then flash this rom..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] droidkevlar:
It is always recommended to wipe fresh, including system when going to a different ROM. You dont need to flash back to stock of anything. Just wipe, install new ROM + gapps and profit.

This is a waste of time! Doing this will do no different that just doing complete wipe and then flashing new ROM. Please dont give people wrong info.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
Buddy i dont want to give any wrong thing..

But i am right..and what your saying is wrong..

He is on 4.2.2 illusion

So if he flashes this rom which is on 4.3 its gonna give him issues with bootloader and radio..

Anyways he has to flash seperately..

So why not just download 4.3 stock so if in future anything goes wrong its usable for many other things then..

I had asked in pa to choose to flash bootloader and radio seperately on 4.2.2, they all recommended to flash 4.3 stock and do a clean wipe and install pa..

I don't know why you are saying it wrong..and i merely gave him advice that instead of flashing 4.2 and then waiting for it to get updated then rather flash 4.3 and flash this ROM on it..which is the most safe way to flash it..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
I just wiped and flashed... Mine works fine..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
from 4.2.2 illusion you just flashed cm build 4.3 rom directly??

thats weird.. i am not sure about it

but as far i got to know from pa thread was that 4.2.2 used different radio while in 4.3 its different

so if a clean flash is done and 4.3 rom flashed over it

the radio and even the bootloader is still of 4.2.2

and partitions are updated differently though in 4.3 as mentioned there

thats the reason they have included 4.3 radio and bootloader on the op page

for people who dont want to flash 4.3 stock and merge to 4.3 pa from 4.2.2 pa

you guys can check that

i say i am not sure, i just said what i got to know about from their

i consistently used to ask about it to them for merging

and they recommended format data/cache and install 4.3 stock and then flash whatever 4.3 so radio and bootloader gets updated too

that would lead no issues

and yah by far i got none

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Flaiker:
Maybe you need to promote yourself more? I for one found Illusion Rom on r/nexus4 with a video review made by someone and Odyssey only by keeping an eye on the according thread which not many people do I guess. Also it's hard to judge which Rom to use if you cannot compare them easily. Assuming I understood your statement correctly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Yup and who wants to make a review on a cm kang lol.. Its just to bland..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chappy824:
This is the best rom I have tried..no freezes or any problems at all. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:
If you're on the old radio (.27 or .33) then you would need to flash the new Radio (.84 I believe) to get your incall sound back.

I use the Hybrid .33/.84 (or you can also use the hybrid .27/.84) and that way I get the best of both worlds (Incall sound + LTE).

Now for the Bootloader, I have not heard anybody having issues sticking with the old bootloader and have not seen any explanation to why we need to upgrade. If someone knows something I don't, please let us know.

Interesting to say the least.

Ah yeah, I spent two days trying to find a way to root my w8s, couldn't find a guide anywhere for it.

Eventually I just ran a Google search on my models build number (W8s.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.16P256_MT6589V1.0.2_20130715), after googling that I was fully rooted in about 10 minutes.

There's a program called SRSRoot, download it and install it to your PC, enable USB debugging on your device and run the program on your computer. When it says to connect your device and click the top option in SRSRoot

(I don't have my computer at the moment but I think it was called force root?) The second option in the list (smart root?) Didn't work for me do just click the first option.

The computer will tell you to select from 3 LOTR names on your phone but they actually aren't even options, there's one option on the phone so select that one and select SuperSU (superuser didn't work for me), let it run and it's finished pretty quick. Just reboot the phone and you're done.

I don't have my computer handy to double check the names and settings so I've had to go off memory here but if there's any issues let me know. I was going to create a guide for this because I knew the question was coming but I just haven't got around to doing it.
