I plan on leaving most security/privacy stuff in Pulser's hands. :)

Problem is that many features are implemented partially or fully in frameworks/base, which is a big monolithic blob. It is sadly not very modular. :( There's even still some hardware-specific stuff in f/b - which annoys me because I would love as a long term goal for many projects to use "common" hardware support repos and differentiate themselves on higher-level functionality (UI design, etc.) - but since there is often hardware support peppered throughout the system this can be difficult.
[Omni Features Development] opticyclic:
The first thing I want to see is a different look and feel.

I want to know that I am running a custom ROM.

This would comprise of:

Custom Boot Animation

Custom background on first activation

Default wallpaper set to something different than stock

Default screens setup with some widgets/common apps in a cool way.

Custom lock screen

Dialler should look different

Icons in the settings page

etc etc

CM10TOUCHWIZ does this nicely.

The next thing I would like to see is best of breed applications installed by default.

E.g.

ES File Explorer has lots more features (backup apk for one) than CM File Manager

GO SMS Pro is colourful and has floating windows as opposed to the stock boring messaging app.

The stock Gallery app is fine but there are cooler ones around.

TouchPal X used to be my favourite keyboard but the LG one in CM10TOUCHWIZ is even better with swipe and handwriting recognition.

There are probably issues with including the specific apps that I mention but I hope you get the gist of what I am suggesting.

The ROM should already have the best core apps available and I shouldn't feel the need to replace them.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
Including non-open-source applications from the Play Store is a licensing nightmare and in general a no-no. Even open source ones can lead to some challenges with respect to package signatures.
[Omni Features Development] :
Maybe a notification app like on LG, when gaming it just pops up when call comes in and doesnt disrupt the game, if you choose you van pick it up or not.

Or you can ignore it, change mind and ingame swipe notification down to pick up anyway, ingame.

Sent from my LG-D802
[Omni Features Development] ahrion:
What about something like IOS banners that when a call comes in while you're busy a banner at the top underneath the status bar comes up. Swipe to answer. Click to dismiss. Etc.

request a setting I had on PacMan. When you press Vol up or down the volume bar comes up on screen, but on the right side of it there is an expandable settings button. When you click it, it shows all individual volume types, and their corresponding current levels. That way it's super easy to change individual volumes. Alarm, notification, music, ring tones are all individual volume settings

They need to manually update to freetype 2.5 and the create a color emoji font. I've tried doing this myself but don't have any clue how to create a font to test with. No one wanted to help me so i dropped the project.
[Omni Features Development] br0adband:
I suppose this won't even make a list but, if possible, and if they're going to create some new music player, could I drop in a request for Opus support? It's an "official" audio standard now, and I suspect that support will grow over time - it's freakin' awesome for low bitrate audio and the only players that seem to support it yet are GoneMAD (which I can't tolerate) and Neutron (which to me is hideous).

Would love to see a bare metal audio player that has the basics: good format support, cover art support (embedded as well as included in folders), and that's about it. I think support for Opus was in the works for Apollo, could still be at this time I have no idea but I wouldn't mind having it in something besides the aforementioned players.

If you're gonna do a full blown open source OS, might as well have a media player that covers the open source audio format(s) fully as well or as much as possible. ;)
[Omni Features Development] XpLoDWilD:
I'm looking into it, I didn't know that format. There's a multiplatform decoder library, so it should be easy to add.

Other than that, I'm really happy about that feature request list. There are some great ideas there, that I'm going to take a look in some time.

I would just like to remind you that mithun's post is in no way official - I'll make a more exhaustive explanation of the yes/no/why for each option.
[Omni Features Development] XpLoDWilD:

Well, as i know not much about kernel development my next suggestion might be so stupid, thhat it at least may serve for the laugh of the day..

From what i know, the kernel has to be customised for every Device, because they all have different Hardware. I dont know how depending these customisations are on each other, or how deep they are coded into the source. But if that would be possible, i would think a developer repository of kernel optimisations for already known hardware would be great, so developing a built for a new device, with partly known hardware, could be much shorter.

Ohand an other idea: Ability to mount Network shares into the device as an external sd-card so that apps directly can access them

For Halo, when we choose the app for launch, we can swipe to the up for open the app in the window 1 and if we swipe in the down, the app open in the window 2.

Why not ?

Multi Window Mod

Maybe multi window could have an option in the settings menu so we could have the top and bottom app like usual, but be able to have one app extra behind the top and bottom apps and be able to swipe to flip back and forth between apps, thus having 4 apps available on multiwindow?

Recent apps list layout

On my HTC One the recent apps list is a square list of windows. It would be really cool if we could utilize more of this big screen to display the apps rather than having a horizontal list to scroll through. Imagine if the recent list was displayed in app drawer style. It would very cool and more convenient if you ask me. :victory:

System Wide Dictionary

I do a lot of reading on my phone. From news to books to just random websites. Once in while, I'd come up on a word that sounds alien to me. And then I do my usual ritual:

1. Highlight word

2. Click "Copy"

3. Click home button

4. Scroll to home screen 4

5. Click "Dictionary"

6. Press and hold into search bar

7. Click "Paste"

8. SWEET ASS DEFINITION. I FORGOT WHAT I WAS READING ALREADY.

Can't we have something like this:

1. Highlight word

2. Click "Define"

3. SWEET ASS DEFINITION. NOW BACK TO READING.

[Omni Features Development] aejazhaq:
Advance animations!

just like xylon ROM but more advance. for instance you should be able to control the toast popup entry and exit directions, so one flys in from the right and out to the left. in a smooth decelerate-accelerate way. also the transition widows need to be more fun to interact with. not just the boring fade and zoom options. give the consumer more options to play with. for instance a tile flip of the entire screen that changes apps to the last one and another finger swipe from the edge to go back another app. and the other direction to go forward.

we have left and right screen scrolls why not up and down. just one screen on the top and bottom will be fine. for instance it goes into a favourite app or gallery or videos or a browser etc.

Support for a counter badge for all apps including whatsapp, BBM, sms, mail etc. currently you need a third part app and none of them get it roght all the way.

AND PLEASE give us animated widgets! that will be a sure kill shot! imagine for instance my gmail icon on my homescreen. If i double tap it (or somthign else) and a horizontal bar moves out with tthe latest email sender and subject displayed in the bar. Or long pressing it and a fresh dot starts to creat a line that encircles the icon (as a sort of timmer estimate) before the widget epands to display the bar with minimal but important info like the said email sender and subject.

and a customisable framework support like Xposed. But with some good built in support.

Seriously there are so many places that can be improved, that its appauling no one listens or google doesnt do a request feature. Thats the only way to evolve. Look at the iphone (sorry guys) but it evolves. android you have to personally take the pain.

[Omni Features Development] parker09:
New question: In regards to the DPI engine you guys were looking at could you add a seperate DPI for lockscreen as opposed to the rest of the UI, for example like in Paranoid Android, I leave the overall DPI set to the normal 320dpi but the lockscreen I put as 240dpi so I have enough room for both the DashClock widget (extended down) & also the pattern/pin lock. Screenshot below shows what I mean.
[Omni Features Development] ktp1976:
Quoting part of the updated OP I want to give a statement that hopefully will not be misundestood nor lead to any flaming. So please read through completely and try to think about it before commenting.

I hope that those answers related to PDroid and AppOps are due to the huge work beeing done and the flood of feature requests coming in because this is not the spirit I felt when I read through the goals Omni ROM wants to achieve.

If you really want to respect user wishes and be open you should not just wipe a request away because it may be problematic or not easy to implement and you should not consider a not equal alternative to be the solution.

I see that there may be some issues to PDroid and PDroid 2.0 as they aren't open source but theres also OpenPDroid and the PDroid Manager App.

I've also searched for an alternative to the MIUI rights manager aka LBE security manager as I had many problems with it but unfortunately whatever PDroid didn't get integrated to the the ROM I use.

Maybe it's not the right moment to implement it now but why not just push it to the future or try to craft an real alternative. I'll try to list some points why I see the need of PDroids functionality (it doesn't have to be PDroid!).

Faking info like in PDroid can be very useful for development

Maybe I want some app or somebody to think I am somewhere else, so faking location info would be nice

PDroid Manager UI seems more intuitive compared to AppOps

PDroid is not just on/off for permissions. It will ask you every time an app tries to use this permission. So you can choose to give permission or not depending on your situation. I used LBE long time because of this functionality. For me this is the main point where AppOps really isn't an alternative

Also there is much more functionality asked for than what AppOps covers like network firewall and communication firewall.

I really hope that I have inspired you to get more focused on usability paired with security other than just giving a rant because I believe in what Omni ROMs goals are.

Yours sincerely ;)
[Omni Features Development] PunkUnity:
Just use Trickster Mod for that man. Easy way to turn on and off multiple settings and kernel options.
[Omni Features Development] CyberNexii:
Brand new idea plus some oldies but goodies from other roms

Dunno if it's been requested already, but can we have per app dpi settings like PA? Also, I would like to see some sort of gesture navigation as an alternative to soft keys and capacitive and hardware buttons. Also transparent navigation and status bars w/ adjustable size if possible. Halo would also be cool, but instead of having the app that sent the notification pop up, maybe it can split the screen with the other app, aka using your already great multi window technology for notifications!:laugh:
[Omni Features Development] brapodam:
Not sure if it's mentioned before, but I think the multitasking button from AOKP is very useful. It's a button that you can put in the navigation bar, and it switches to the last app used. I'm not sure how this will work with multi-window, but it's something I miss from AOKP.

Of course one can always use the "button" that shows you all open apps to switch to the last app, but that thing takes about half a second to open on the fastest ROMs, and you still have to press on the app to switch to it. This is like an alt-tab for phones, and I think it's very useful

Request:

1) Automatic hotspot connect. (Bypass the hotspot login)

2) Proxy. Something like hotspot shield that actually works and is integrated.

3) Full OS encryption. I forgot which new android crowdfunded phone is coming out but they're implementing it into the Android os. If someone can tell me which one it is.

4) Intelligent smart 3g/4g/lte/wifi on/off

5) Per App Colors - pulling from the server/updating automatically from a user created list of hex OR dynamically reading the title bar color to implement into the status bar.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
I admit I don't work too much with encrypted devices, but the idea here is to prevent a brute-force attack - e.g. "N consecutive failed attempts = hard penalty"

Security measures without hard penalties are usually not very effective.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
1) No way to do this since hotspot logins are nonstandardized. And one of the smaller bugs on my TODO list is that right now, the hotspot login prompt disappears immediately after it appears. :(

2) Dunno about this, I'll leave that to others

3) Pointless to encrypt the entirety of an OS that is built from source...

4) Not sure exactly what you mean like this. Looks too buzzwordy for me.

5) Dunno, you have to be very careful with "per-app" hacks because they can often go VERY VERY wrong.
[Omni Features Development] ahrion:
4) Smart wifi meaning if wifi isn't connection isn't established, the os turns on 4g and turns off wifi intelligently.

5) Hybrid/PA has per app color. It seems to work well. Could be optimized though. By this request I meant changing the status bar color/icon color based on the apps launched. Just like xposed tinted statusbar and hybrid..

[Omni Features Development] brapodam:
Not yet, I did not expect that to do anything since it doesn't do anything on other ROMs. I'm currently back on CM, but I'll take your word that it does what I wanted. I'll switch back to test Omni once more features are out :)

OP updated.
[Omni Features Development] yanix:
Is it possible to include a wipe of storages instead as a form of penalty? To avoid accidental wiping (e.g. Colleagues playing w/ the phone), probably we can increase the number of consecutive failed attempts before the penalty is triggered.

[Omni Features Development] ktp1976:
Why not making it an option like in optional? Isn't it all about customizing? Isn't that the reason for people searching their "perfect" ROM? Make an option to wipe and make an option to wipe after x attempts.

Multi Window features

Launching applications in 'window mode' from the recents menu (instead of long pressing then hitting add to split view)

Swipe left/right to get rid of the application

Swipe up on an application to put it into the top window

Swipe down on an application to put it into the bottom window
[Omni Features Development] rickoslyder:
I really don't see this happening, it'd be annoying if you were, for example, scrolling a webpage and it randomly moves/disappears. But who knows, maybe Xplod or someone else will be able to do something.
[Omni Features Development] parker09:
Oh I mean in the recents menu where you have your applications that are open listed, not in the actual application; so for example if you want the Youtube application & browser open in multi window, so you could be browsing and think I want to open Youtube, go to recents then flick the Youtube application up to open it on the top portion of the window or flick it down to open it in the bottom window.
[Omni Features Development] PunkUnity:
Maybe, just to add to your ideas, we could get full customization of actions and what their corresponding results are. For example, choosing what gesture controls which action. Swipe up could do whatever you want. I still vote for Windows behind windows on split view, and being able to swipe left or right to bring windows from the back of the 'stack' to the front area where the two current split view windows are.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I like this idea!
[Omni Features Development] rickoslyder:
The only thing is that if you have more than 4 apps in recents panel, scrolling will become impossible with this. I like it otherwise though.
[Omni Features Development] parker09:
That's true. Maybe a drag & snap to top left or drag & snap to bottom right. Not sure.
[Omni Features Development] Entropy512:
In some cases these parameters are set by device management policies (e.g. by an Exchange server when adding an account, for example).

There are some things that I consider to be pretty much 100% off the table, overriding Exchange device policies is one of them, since it renders Omni unusable legitimately on such systems just by having the feature present. (This is the same reason CM removed the ability to override Exchange device policies and never brought it back - a few CM maintainers would not be able to use their devices for work if CM had that feature.)
[Omni Features Development] ktp1976:
I am totally with you. I know what you're talking about because we have the same problems at work. Just think the other way round. It's not about overriding policies but about overriding customized settings with policies. Wouldn't that be a possibility?
[Omni Features Development] gingerboy92:
i think that most of the features can be done by using Xposed modules without bloating the kernel with every single tiny functions. Perhaps what OmniRom could do is to develop Xposed modules instead of implementing everything into the rom, and then fully integrate Xposed into the rom(updates doesn't require reinstalling, or perhaps don't require any installation at all aka native Xposed support). I see a lot more benefits by doing this instead of putting every functions as apart of the rom. If OmniRom includes Xposed support natively, and develop the features as modules for Xposed, it will be easy for others to help in pushing and testing new features into OmniRom without the trouble of forking the whole OmniRom to combine features from other custom roms. I mean, we have seen this alot, we have tons of rom, PA, CM, AOKP, but we ended up using roms such as PACman simply because it combines all the features. These will then be a truly open system.
[Omni Features Development] plmaniek:
1. 'close all' button in the recent app menu

2. More settings option, we have quick toggles but we can't configure it. :(

3. Something like 'Omni Black' option. This is very important for amoled display users.
