I have been playing with the idea of ungoogle my data (calendar and contacts). I have installed owncloud on my ubuntu server. It would be nice to have a native CalDav and CardDav provider included in Omni so you can sync with alternative sources.

feature mode

hey guys

i dont know how possible it is, but i really would like to see this on smart phones.a mode that when you activate takes your phone back to the stone ages of feature phones.

1.down clocke the cpu to the most minimum possible. no animation.no graphic output

2. no back ground apps, and no apps. the only thing that should be working should be the phone, the texting and the keyboard.

3. no colour. a see of black pixels. the information is shown by minimal white pixels. (great for AMOLED displays). considering white uses more power than necessary, you could go with blue or what ever. but the choice of color is better left to the user.

4.all the sensors and antenas (wifi, gps,...) are turned off.

5. if the user wants, he is able to over ride any of these steps. for example a user decides to keep wifi on, put Gmail and calander in the white list(so that these apps work in the feature mode if requested)

6. new UI. but its not needed to be complex. a black screen with a time widget and an icon for phone and an icon for texting should do the trick.

7. switching to this mode is through a tile in the quick setting and swithcing out of this mode is through a simple icon which asks you for a simple pattern for confirmation. (so we wouldnt have accidental switching)

8. like quiethours (that you give a start and finish time to silent your phone) it should have a built in timer that, if it is asked to, can take your phone to feature mode after you fall sleep and bring it back before you wake up.

what's good a bout if?

imagine if your old feature phone had the battery of your new smart phone.

imagine you have to go on business trip and you need a phone that works for long periods of time. and if you should need a smart phone, it's only a click away.

imagine your battery is dying and u need an ultimate battery saving mode that would get you through the 2, 3 hours that you are away from your charger

imagine unplugging your fully charged phone before you sleep and wake up to see it still has 98% juice left( instead of the usual 80%)
[Omni Features Development] harishl20:
Float caller you mean? Would be nice to see it in this ROM.
[Omni Features Development] PunkUnity:
Can't you just use Juice Defender Ultimate and blacklist everything?
[Omni Features Development] gigley:
But that would be only one part of what I said. I already do that. But with this method u could shut down the gpu, clock the cpu down as low as 50 mgh (if possible), literaly turn most of the pixels off AND STILL HAVE A REALLY RESPONSIVE UX. And it's all in the same pack.
[Omni Features Development] Cuzz1369:
This thread is ridiculous. Change the op to "Any feature ever available on a custom ROM" and be done with it
[Omni Features Development] bizzypain:
First of all thanks for your work, :)

is there any way to do ring alarm while phone is power off?

I remember an app that used the charging icon when the phone was power off...

I don't know if this is possible, but i think that would be great!!!

Thank you again and good luck for your work! ;)
[Omni Features Development] _artem_:
1. Set color for all the status bar icons (like in carbon, not just clock and battery, also wifi and radio icon)

2. Move clock to the middle of status bar

3. Set nav bar height

4. Set nav button color

5. Modify nav buttons (add, remove, long press actions, arrow keys on nav bar)

6. Add/remove/rearrange quick tiles

7. Recent apps remove all button

8. Maximised lockscreen widgets option

9. Hide initial page hints on lockscreen

I guess that's all I need from a custom ROM and want to have those settings in omni
[Omni Features Development] gigley:
Hence the name. OMNI. U know?
[Omni Features Development] Cuzz1369:
I'm not talking about the ROM. I'm talking about this thread. Every feature that has ever existed has been requested.
[Omni Features Development] Dri94:
Requires kernel work. Which would be different for all devices
[Omni Features Development] gigley:
Thanx for the answer. What part of it requires kernel work? The cpu underclocking? The 50mgh cpu was just an example. But if u say it can't be done on a rom that is meant for every device, I don't have the knowledge to oppose u. :(

Thanx again
[Omni Features Development] Hoodahottie:
I've mentioned this in another thread. I'm not looking for just one feature but dedication to a whole class of features to protect the privacy of users and increase security.

- Built-in cryptographic protocols that any app can use to securely transmit encrypted emails/chat/texts. (Cyanogenmod's PushSMS feature)

- Features to protect from Google, Facebook and NSA spying.

- Support for IP obsfuscating technology like Tor.

- Support for the Dark Mail email protocol and support for Mailpile.

- Support for Freedombox and related technologies.

I know doing good crypto is really hard. These features are not immediate priorities, but this should be a high priority for omnirom in the long run.

[Omni Features Development] Espen96:
In one of my requests I said that the 2013 nexus 7 does not support multi color LED. On the google doc I got reply back that it does. I can tell that it does not, the N7 2013 only has connectors for a white led light, as seen in the iFixit teardown.

Also what I meant with my request (Custom led pattern for contacts, as to see who texted or called you.) Was something like custom ringtones but for the LED. Based on who texted, or called you, the LED would flash in a set pattern, like morse.

[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
FYI, many such things are things we might not ourselves work on directly - but would be willing to review and integrate if someone coded it up.

One thing is that in the case of features we really don't want to integrate for whatever reason (and, as I've said before, such situations deserve a good explanation of why), a way to give someone a heads-up early so they don't waste their time.

For Android 4.4:

- bring back up/download traffic arrows on Wifi/Data Icons in Notificationbar,

(seems they are gone from there but are now on the QS Panel - very convenient Google -.-)

- bring back 2 colors for Wifi/Data icons in Notificationbar eg. White: connected to Google, some grey: not connected to google

(again they are gone from the Notificationbar, but are now on the QS Panel in white/orange(!))

OTA Updates Integrity

I think its necessary to implement the update mechanism over an encrypted channel to avoid MITM attacks. Meanwhile any ROMs provided on Goo.im should have an accompanied SHA512 key file which can be verified.
[Omni Features Development] ktp1976:
Isn't that a little bit too paranoid?

Download via HTTPS with strong encryption algorithms avoiding MITM should be fine. MD5 to check file integrity is sufficient. As long as both files get transferred via a trusted website it should be ok. You can check a websites security here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
[Omni Features Development] ynny:
No this is standard procedure. If you know anything about

cryptography you will understand that

A. MD5 has been known to have collisions for sometime now and is by no means reliable for authenticity. Collisions are when a benign and malicious file could be crafted to have the same checksum even if its different.

and

B. HTTPS is broken due to its centralized certificate authority design.

I propose a signature checking OTA updater where developer keys are checked of any updates coming through. Similar to how a Linux distro works ie. Debian.
[Omni Features Development] LeJolly:
Aren't you a little bit too paranoid... Security is good, but overdoing it just slows down everybody
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
We'll be signing official build packages with a private key eventually so that the archive's integrity and provenance can be verified.

hi people :)

the question is << WHAT USER WANT ?

I have samsung galaxy sIII i9300 , so the general need from user is ( performance + Battery life + Stability ) , am i right ? if we considered the developers already works on these things so we don't need to ask about :)

Things i Want in AOSP roms :

* more camera quality , with anti shake feature + night mode

* increase GPU performance for high graphics games

* the sound is the basic problem in AOSP roms , is very low , but we can live with it by install kernels , mods , etc ..

* touch response of the aosp roms is less than stock samsung roms (sammy :) )

i used the focal camera app , but still buggy on my devise and there is no option to save the photos on sd card

that's all , if there is anything else I'll be here :)

i hope a good luck in your new project
[Omni Features Development] ktp1976:
Honestly HTTPS isn't broken. If s.th. is broken then it's the weak algorithms used by most browsers and the downwards compatibility kept by websites.

A signing key is a good idea. Just to push you a little bit: it's nearly the same mechanism like HTTPS ;)

Sounds good. Thanks for putting a statement here.
[Omni Features Development] _artem_:
Guys it really sounds like you think someone (cm?) gonna hack all the servers omni builds are hosted on to sabotage omni ROM by injecting a Trojan horse into the latest nightly? You are really too paranoid.. with that logic your head gonna explode if you start to think why that new ..loft game needs permission to read your sms or determine your location. As someone stated before if you aren't a criminal it shouldn't care you if government or federals are spying your sms and your location. Every time I make a skype call I say hello to fbi and cia. What about "ok Google" it listens you constantly and obviously sends all the recorded data to cloud over the air (without using your data plan and Wi-Fi so you don't recognize it)?
[Omni Features Development] _that:
This has been proven wrong so many times, it's unfortunate that people still believe this.

will be implemented possibility to set a profile(e.g. display light1%, mobile data off, toggle to 2g network) when you connect to a specific wifi network? i remember that feature was available in CM and was very useful
[Omni Features Development] kabauterman:
Why do you not use Llama or something equal? I don't think this is a thing you need in a brand new custom rom at the beginning.

But I have another request.

I liked the ability of changing the NavBar height (protrait) and width (landscape) in AOKP I would love to see this in OmniROM with the stable Nightlies at some time :)

Another, for now AOKP Only feature what I realy liked was the Notification-LED on when the Display is on :) maybe its possible to integrate this too.

And now if some guys tell me I have to use AOKP if I want this features I tell you I don't like AOKP anymore because of the slow updating rythm and the instability of the most feature what I don't realy need.

And a high FPS Video capable Camera App would be great :) I will love it so see some 720p/120fps video recording on another SD 800 device then the Galaxy Note 3 :)
[Omni Features Development] MrPhilo:
Immersive Mode

Couldn't find no request for this, really surprised.

Well this is only for Nexus devices or other devices which use on screen buttons.

Everyone knows Android Kitkat has 'Immersive Mode', I was wondering if possible we can have a side setting so we can select which apps can use the Immersive Mode, similar to PA DPI Changer when you can select apps and change there settings. Since not all developers will update there App to support this mode.

This will be awesome for games for us Nexus users.
[Omni Features Development] Dwayne01:
Slow Motion Capture

Would it be possible to implement something of this sort? Similar to the iphone 5s.

I believe that this is an option on the Moto X camera as well.

Omni Share

Sharing large file between android phones is still a mess. A neat, simple and fast way to send files through wifi which is as easy as just switching on the omni share button and finding the device and sending it. i know several apps do it but no one has done it right. As enhancements are a big part of omni i think this would be a great feature.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Is it possible to have a feature where all the activities done when someone is using ur phone be recorded in a log. so that when someone uses ur phone you can see what the other person has done later.
[Omni Features Development] _artem_:
But you know that your eyes (brain) can't "see" more than 60fps and you won't see any differences between 60 and 120 fps, don't you? (Actually you can't even see 25th frame which can be used to zombify you with adverts (hello coca cola mid 1990) or for languages learning purposes where your eyes see only 24 frames per second and that 25th frame goes strait into your subconsciousness)
[Omni Features Development] kabauterman:
You know that if you record in 120fps you can play the video with 30fps and make it a nice 4x slowmo wich is an incredibly nice effect :)
[Omni Features Development] android addicts:
Hello!

Are there any possibility to add something similar to the Samsung's smart stay, smart rotation, smart pause like eye tracking function and air view features? Because we miss those cool features after the switch to the AOSP. Play store has good alternatives but they are not accurate than Samsung. Almost all of them are crap. Most of them are based on the accelerometer sensor. And camera based app gives "unable to connect camera", error for stock camera app. Therefore eye tracking system is better.

Also it's better if this ROM added build in power saving functionality for an instance once phone battery level reached at a specific level or not used for a longer time (something at night) reduce CPU frequency, disable extra cores, disable auto sync etc stuff to force deep sleep.

Kill all background apps and automatically clear RAM (with whitelist function) for gain more memory (with or without overclock) when running full screen apps specially games.

Automatic backup Omni ROM's settings to cloud (I guess this is rather different from apps data backup, if not I'm sorry requesting duplicate features), it's very useful when switching to another devices or after the retested. However before restore it's better ask from the user to restore previous settings.

Control each installed apps sensitive permission (location, contacts, SMS read).

Better quality music sound with or without popular sound engines something like wolfson audio control. CM's DPS manager not good at all.

Ultra pixels support camera app.

Add an option to whitelist app in the performance memory management. Then we can prevent tracking apps killing. Useful for anti thift apps.

In case it's not known, the Nexus 5 needs a change to allow tethering functionality to work to its "fullest potential" as detailed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2512674&page=8
[Omni Features Development] Eisfreak7:
Something that I know from my apple times ist activator. I failed to find something like that for android yet and I think it would make omni perfect:

The possibility to assign any key combination (Like volume down + volume up) any action (like opening an app or even send a special intend to an app). Basic gesture support like swyping from the actures would be awesome, too.
[Omni Features Development] Braska90:
Searching for "CM profiles" seems that anyone as already asked, so I ask for them...

Are CM profiles (not multi-user profile) one of the future feature for stable release? (I'm on Nexus 5 Omni A), because for me are truly essential. :D
[Omni Features Development] slater_g:
Essentials for me:

- (already asked) Configurable Quick Settings Tiles

- Option to always change the media volume with the +/- buttons. As done in iOS and CM. Stops accidental ringer volume change when using Profiles.

There is one thing that I have been missing in any email app (the AOSP or any other app) and that's a full search ABILITY (content, subject and sender search) through all your emails from different accounts. AquaMail is the nearest I have come across, which only does the search through the emails' subjects and the senders' emails.
[Omni Features Development] sickleman:
What about long forgotten EVO 3D ? Is there any possibility to port 3d features from sense 3.6 aka Android 4.03 to later Androids?

That is the BIG challenge!

There are custom android builds working, but without 3d camera or gallery... :(

Seeing that features smoothly running on newer aosp ROM would be astonishing and somewhat great!!

First of all there must be something in 4.0.3 Sense's kernel enabling 3dcamera preview. Maybe proprietary HTC camera driver?

Then there must be way for turning on this smart surface on EVO's screen that make it looking like old 3d-"holographic"-kids'-stickers..

Then, finally graphics driver have to interwine view from two channels column by column ^^

Simple as that, but nobody had it figured out yet.. -_-

I don't have enough knowledge even for starting such development.. If there is someone who could steer me up to good ideas that would be great tooo..... (first? where to search for these features? I can decompile, edit and compile with apktool/eclipse, configure them for source editing etc)

Is it possible to add music control with long press on volume buttons while screen switched off? I really miss this thing...
[Omni Features Development] jawz101:
I'm hoping this is constructive criticism here:

When do the feature requests start happening? I'll be honest. This is the most boring ROM out there without some features.

The performance settings gui isn't a direction I'd go with. I mean, why expose changing vm swappiness in a base ROM? It just leads to "zomg what are your settings?" cruft in forums.

I personally like good settings to be hardcoded and not something I think I need to tweak.

Ideally, if it is something that is hardware specific- a sophisticated approach would be something that intelligently tests your phone & sets appropriate values once or realtime if the setting is better depending on not only the hardware but varying usage as well.

A bunch of sliders/toggles/numbers without no explaination is not user friendly. You shouldn't be a computer science major to know what your phone's base package does.
[Omni Features Development] chasmodo:
Have you tried CM11.0 or AOKP KK? CM is a feature or two behind Omni, and AOKP is miles behind, it doesn't even have a dalvik/ART switch.

AFAIK the rest of the pack is not even close to releasing 4.4.

Anyway, what's stopping you from making Omni more exciting? Gerrit is open for submissions 24/7.
[Omni Features Development] JoinTheRealms:
Wouldn't you prefer the core framework to mature and stabilize before lots of random features are added? Im not a developer but i feel it would dilute the more important stuff. I personally prefer more modular features such as what offered by the xposed module, gravity box.

If someone doesn't know what they are doing in the performance settings, just leave it as is? I think your *Auto detection* idea is quite good, but seems rather hard to implement on widely varying hardware, something like a slider between responsive/ performance to battery life would be more feasible.
