I meant is it worth flashing a non-touch 6.0.4.6 CWM for flashing cm11 roms when i can do it using an old (touch) recovery and old updater script/binary files (which i have already done).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Hey, its upto you... If you wana stick on old cwm, you have to make changes in ROM all times. :highfive:

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
The 6.0.4.6 does a full backup and restore, the old one did not do sd-ext. OK, lived without that until now.

Hope to see a new version that will take either syntax :)

I'm always using CWM Touch Recovery (vivekkalady) V5.0.2.7 and it restores and back ups sd-ext for cm 9, 10, and 11 flawlessly. :good:

Only for the latest one I must replace update and binary scripts with one provided by mukulsoni every time to flash it. Thanks to mukulsoni.

So far so good. :good:

CWM Touch Recovery (vivekkalady) V5.0.2.7 I've used it since it's introduction, on two different devices. It always backed up and restored my sd-ext.

@xu3sno and others - You may be interested to know that I'm writing a utility to assist with automating the modifying of KitKat ROMs so they can be flashed with older versions of CWM. @mukulsoni gets credit for figuring this trick out. Since I'm bored ATM, although I don't use my P509 currently, I wanted to help by throwing this little utility together. Should be done in a few hours. This will be a Windows only utility. Sorry guys. I may put a Python script together for Linux and Mac users.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
End of cm-11 experiment. Had the Xmas build working nicely, decided to try the Dec 27 nightly. Got this up and running by clearing system and flashing the ROM and gapps. After link2sd created the mount script, worked. But I found it more troublesome than the Xmas build so went to restore the backup. Lo and behold, it started redoing ALL the dexes, did not respect the link2sd symlinks (The Xmas build install somehow did!), so ran me out of data space (Link2sd's Achilles heel). Tried various thing to get back, no go. Finally, had to restore the cm-10.2 backup which came on without any problems whatsoever. So I am back on cm-10.2, do not know how to proceed. Could try to repeat the Xmas build installation (or with the nightly), could remove 20-30meg of linked dexes and avoid the problem, restore them after it working, big bother. But since the direction seems to Omni rather than new cm-11, might just wait (but I was liking cm-11).

So some comparisons (not necessarily bugs):

Lockscreen pattern gets scaled down due to systemUI DPI changed via Xposed AppSettings on Dec 27 cm-11. Did not on cm-10.2 or the Xmas build of cm-11.

While the services icons take a bit to finally appear on the notifications bar, these are active immediately on cm-10.2, one waits an age with cm-11. This is a period of higher battery drain as well!

Cm-11 can become laggy with continued use, rebooting fixes and overclocking makes it better.

Gallery2 works well on cm-10.2, much better than cm-10,10.1. The gallery2 versions will not show edit presets in cm-11, same video mismatch as in cm-10, cm-10.1.

Link2sd mount script assigns 733 permissions (weird) to its dalvik-cache on cm-11 (this might have caused the above problem).

Cm-10.2 has problems with wallpaper, will often enough come up sans wallpaper. Cm-11 no such problem.

Our Cm-11 is missing the necessary settings->security->screen enable widgets for toggling lockscreen widgets. One can get them back with the same build.prop mod for getting transparent statusbar--widgets, not the settings entry.

Cm-11 does have more RAM available so background apps like smark-keep-screen-on work much more reliably. Cm-10.2 touch and go.

Intelliring, a very useful app, worked perfectly in cm-10.2. FCs on incoming phonecalls on cm-11.

EDIT: more ...

Floating-notifications over lockscreen can be problematic on cm-10.2, usually OK. Once it is up and running, seemed OK on cm-11

Battery! Cm-10.2, with program aids controlling wifi and data usage, can get very decent battery life. Cm-11 can be even better, looks like it sleeps more. However, that lengthy startup time with very high battery drain (10%!) more than makes up for it. I think cm-11 has a larger WIFI drain problem than cm-10.2

Ok guys. Looks like the Linux/Ubuntu users won out over the Windows users. I am currently having issues with my zip archive libraries for C/C++. Still working on it tho. ;) With that said...

This utility is written in Python 2.7.6 and wxPython 2.8. It may run on other versions as welll. Windows users can run this also, after installing the versions of Python and wxPython mentioned previously. An update-binary is provided with this utility but you can also specify an alternate if you so choose.

This utility is written to modify 4.4+ ( KitKat ) ROMs for the Optimus One ( P500 ) and variants only.

If the specified ROM is determined not to be for a P500 or variant and is not a KitKat ROM, you will not be able to change the update-binary with this utility. This check is provided via system/build.prop.

Very soon, one will boot and run. Seems, except for auto-nightlies, the dev effort has gone over to omni. I looked at the zip, looks very much like cm-11, probably with no or permissive selinux. "My versions" are 4meg larger. What does omni have to offer, better, different, than cm?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] hariraj96:
omni is essentially AOSP Android except a few modifications such as phone,permissions and the root toolkit....so it has a better chance of running on lower end devices then cm which has major modifications...

Does it boot?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
The preview released by Hephappy booted up, first try.

This is basically CM-11, does not have Omni setup options or added features.

This was a "dirty" install, ran my relinker script and the link2sd symlinks were respected! Some cleanup, re-placed all the widgets and voile.

Has the "upgrading--starting apps" bug of previous CM-11. Link2sd will find several megs of dexes to relink and 50+ (empty?) useless files on sd-ext to remove. This is a bug worth checking, though not the end of the world.

Get the Play Services stopped but upgraded 7 apps anyway. Par for the course.

Comes up on homescreen before lockscreen, can live with that.

Has the delayed services startup problem which, since one or two of these help with battery drain, causes larger drain for first many minutes. CM-10.2, services immediately running, screen goes off almost immediately.

CM-11 ROMs may have an even larger WIFI drain problem than CM-10.* which makes that startup penalty even worse.

What I must do is as soon as I can get to the app, start/restart smart-keep-screen-on. That works around this but I consider the higher WIFI drain and time for services to function serious bugs of CM-11 and now this Omni incarnation.

Will play with this a couple of days at least. Certain good enough for general usage, kudos to Hephappy and rest of Armv6 devs!!

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Extract the ROM first. There will be a folder META-INF then go to ./com/google/android. Two files update-binary and updater-script must be there.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
You have two options.

1. Edit updater-script with any text editor. Remove assert statement on top of this file.

2. The easiest way, replace two files update-binary and updater-script with one prepared by mukulsoni.

Hope it helps.

i know it sounds weird ,but it seems most of the indian devices have the problem.i have 2 O1'S in my family and all of them lag.but a p500h or something that my friend bought online a long time ago isn't lagging as bad as mine for cm11.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Hmmm. Been using this ROM since it was posted. EDIT: Nope, this was indeed an accidentally tapped cm-11 Gerrit, probably the December 25. So these are cm-11 bugs!!

cm10.2 had a long boot time

cm11 has a shorter boot time

Omni "preview" seems back to cm10.2's time. Both are a good few minutes. Maybe six but that seems a lot. However, mine comes up.

However, omni (which is essentially cm-11 right now?) can have strange behavior after boot (finally) succeeds:

1. Goes into "Android Upgrading ... starting apps..." every time. Is "upgrading" one or a few link2sd-linked dexes for no good reason. Not a catastrophe, can clean up the few megs later, but still ...

2. Home screen may come up prematurely, no interaction. Maybe one or more "...has stopped" or "... not responding" (duhh!) messages which also do not respond to taps. All disappears with lockscreen appearance. After this, things are (more) normal. Had it loop once, though, home, lock, home, lock ... no response. Pulled battery but could has rebooted with adb as well. OK now.

3. Services like battery-savers take ages to become active. Battery drain was bad during those too many minutes. Afterwards, normal. This is a problem with cm-11 as well if I recall.

4. Battery drain for cm-11 and omni not quite as good overall as cm10.2 using same usage pattern and app aids. But definitely decent. Either the WIFI and/or the cell-standby may be eating more that previously?

Just put up the version13 kernel. FIrst impressions:

Slight lag in screen response to finger, but usually not much different than "stock" for cm11 and omni. Might need some advanced adjustments of governer for a faster rampup (using smartassv2).

Phone feels much cooler, sitting, plugged to usb, charging through this. Since WIFI drain seemed more problematic with cm11 and omni, this might be a positive sign!

So version 13 could be a keeper. Will continue testing that and the ROM next few days.

What is rhars*** KitKat? The cm10.1 with Google Search and GEL? I have been using cm10.2 with the same ideas, also good, might restore in the end until the cm11/omni thing gets fixed up.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
More on Omni Preview:

EDIT: This was NOT Omni but Cm-11!!

This ROM does quite nicely and may get stellar battery life with the version13 kernel. That is, once it gets by its startup craziness!

Got that inactive homescreen/lockscreen/homescreen/lockscreen loop again. Observation: The will consistantly? most often? occur after an orderly shutdown and reboot, i.e. from the power menu. It will not (so far)? less often? occur after a non-orderly shutdown and reboot, i.e. taking out battery, adb reboot, app quick reboots, etc. Ate 10% battery. Can also eat this much battery waiting for background processes to get started. So this startup craziness is a showstopper bug!

The unwanted "upgrade" of one or a few link2sd symlinked dexes "...is upgrading ... starting apps..." should not be occuring and indicates some possible filesystem problem. Especially since it leaves 40-50+ (nearly?) empty files on sd-ext. All harmlessly cleaned up by going through link2sd, but should be investigated. EDIT: This is also a bug in cm-11.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
I got bad experiences with this OMNI ROM. As I posted earlier, the system booted more than 6 minutes, the longest booting process I ever waited :( . I did clean install. Once it booted, while configuring the system settings, suddenly system reboot itself. Stuck on OMNI logo, pulled the battery out, inserted it again, power up and again, trapped on OMNI logo :( Waiting for more "stable" OMNI ROM and will give a try then. :)

So preferred CM-11-20140103_EXPERIMENTAL with GEL and Google Now :cool:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Yeah, I might go to this as well.

..., but, but ... I never saw an omni logo, just the cm-11.

So ... I never had omni. But one of the cm-11 and those bugs are cm-11 bugs!!

Trying the real omni??

Very pretty boot animation, so lets see if I ever get past it ...

Got past, and not six minutes either. However no adb functions available!! After usual firstboot FCs, got the launcher. Now it is restarting dalvik, i.e. new animation. Quick, "upgrading ... starting apps ...", maybe the same bug.

Got the inactive homescreen, brief lockscreen, new animation ... so ... do the Jan 3 experimental.

With adb is non-functional, so how to get back to recovery? Any connect to USB does not get me the charger but "normal" boot sequence.

Fastboot does not find device.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] oldslowdiver:
TY, and please, could you provide me a link to CM-11-20140103_EXPERIMENTAL? I can't find it.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
So one more scare. Found advice on obscure posting in the P500 troubleshooting thread. Take out battery, press the three keys (which have never booted me into recovery!), plug in USB and replace battery. With some experimentation of what to put in when, got recovery. Flashed the Jan 3 build. (BTW: This is available from Jenkins android-experimental, go down past the cm10.2 entries.)

So up and running, seems OK.

But the bugs I cited are cm-11 bugs and the startup problem is a serious bug. So [MENTION=5005143]hephappy[/MENTION], please look into this. Sorry for the detour, mistakenly clicked on a cm-11 gerrit instead of the omni. Sure looked like cm-11, should have taken the hint sooner :)

As for the omni, this was a near catastrophic "preview" after it seemingly came up so quickly and beautifully. Adb being "off-line" was crippling. The off-line charging, such as it is, usually gives me an alternate route to adb reboot recovery if other options fail. This, too, was unavailable. The fact that, at least for me and a dirty install!, it came up so nicely, but got into that home-screen-lockscreen-animation loop, was a dissappointment. But since I have had similar loops happen off that cm-11 gerrit (mostly likely Dec 25 build), again, something on look at.

ROM: http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job...archive/omni-4.4.2-20140105-p500-AUTOTEST.zip

Booting time shorter then the previous one, ca. 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the process com.android.system-ui has stopped, as well as process com.android. media. Therefore, no chance entering the system-ui. System went to blank screen :(. In term of system-ui, the previous one I have tested is better, since it's able to be configured its settings, even rebooted itself afterwards.

Which such performances, better staying on CM-11-20140103-EXPERIMENTAL, ATM :cool:

Tried to pull out battery then inserted again, power on, booted and an error of system-ui process notification reappeared. :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
I had better luck with the "preview," but got the startup loop afterwards. Main problem testing these is adb device is offline so have no normal route to recovery and also no way to look at logcats. So cannot even get hints as to what is wrong so that it can be fixed.

BTW, these ROMS also need to be trimmed.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Yep. I did trim the ROM as always.

After trimmed it, the size shrunk to 90.24MB from the original 118.15MB.
