Report Back - T-Mobile Rom.. One week or so on..

Hi All,

Wanted to feedback my impressions of the new 1.42 T-Mobile UK Spec Rom..

Well, it's been interesting.. I now have (or have had) most of the faults that everyone else is experiencing.. I never used to get them at all with the i-mate 1.40 Rom or the NL 1.42 T-Mobile Rom.. I have listed the bugs below..

1 - One Hard-reset when inserted into GPS Car holder

2 - Several occasions where I've "lost" the Storage Card (when serching for it on the device AND through Active Sync)

3 - Interesting situation where I've started TomTom5 and I've suddenly had to go through the set-up process again only to be told that there's no maps (Can only attribute this to an occasion where the Storage Card is not seen by the PPC - See above).. Solved by remove Programs, soft-reset then re-install off SD Card.. (quite annoying as I was lost at the time!)

4 - Occasional failure for BT Headset being recognised on an in-coming call (I use the Logi-Tech Pro).. Solved by Soft-reset..

5 - Sometimes, after soft-reset, get a low performance from the Device.. ie, after soft-reset and switching to phone where it takes a few seconds to "build" the phone screen..

Strange but as I mentioned above, I don't recall getting these bugs on the 1.42 NL Rom or the i-mate 1.40 Rom.. I might try a hard re-set on Monday then re-install my tomTom, etc to see if it carries on.. If it does, I MIGHT switch back to the either :shock:

That's it really.. I have had the early T-Mobile 1.06, the i-mate 1.40, T-Mobile NL 1.42 and T-Mobile GB 1.42 and finally the WM5 Roms and from what I've seen, I place them in this order of preference..

1 - i-Mate 1.40

2 - T-Mobile NL 1.42

3 - T-Mobile GB 1.42

4 - WM5

5 - T-Mobile GB 1.06

No difference in UK and NL Rom..?

Hi Max,

The Rom is exactly the same and the only difference is the changes in the extROM that makes it either UK or NL Spec (ie, MMS settings, etc)

Hi Starfish - Perhaps you need to look at this for the answers to your other questions:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners

Oh, and BA is "Blue Angel" and MA is the "Magician" HTC Names for the devices..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Packet:
Upgraded to this from the last O2 update (my BA is an O2 Xda IIs), and while for the most part it works fine, now if the device turns the screen off for power-save while out and about, the GPRS connection drops. I know the hardware is capable of keeping the GPRS connection alive in such a situation because, well, it didn't drop it under the previous two O2 ROMs I ran. :)

Anyone else had this problem, or know a fix? Hopefully it's something simple that I've overlooked...

I'm getting better Bluetooth support with this (whether through actual improvements in the stack or through sheer dumb luck), so I'd prefer not to downgrade if I can avoid it.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Packet:
Did you make sure you had the MAUpdate file in the same directory as the actual upgrade had been uncompressed into? Since it's missing the RUU.DLL file that is part of that package.

Basically, get the files out of the real upgrade, then copy the MAUpdate into that directory, then run it instead.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Shahmeer1998:
I was trying to get my HTC Amaze Unbranded to go from GB to ICS following the tutorials on these forums. I was using Hasoon2000 toolkit to root my phone. I think I flashed 4EXT and from there install the superzu thing. After that I tried to s off with control bear. It failed. Now when I turn on my phone, the htc logo appears for a second then the screen turns black. After a few seconds the cameras led flash blinks and the phone reboots again. This process keeps repeating. I can access the bootloader menu where it says fastboot, bootloader etc.

Is my phone bricked? Can I do something to fix it? Any help please :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
YOU DO NOT MAKE THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Make sure you have required HTC drivers installed

2.) Download Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit

3.) Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com (hasoon's toolkit can help)

4.) Now perform S-Off. You have to be on Stock Ruu to perform S-OFF, so best to do it now while you are still on stock

5.) Once you successfully S-OFF your device, you will then need to SuperCID your device

6.) When your device is S-Off and has SuperCID, you can then download this Amaze_ICS_RUU ..Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your EXTERNAL SDcard. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button. it will prompt you to install, select yes and YAY, you will now be on ICS.

7.) Take the PH85IMG of the RUU off of your SDcard, and then put this PH85IMG of HBOOT on to the SDcard. Repeat the same instructions as step 6 to flash this IMG.

8.) Congratulations, you now have stock ICS. If you would like to flash custom ICS or JB roms, continue with steps 9 & 10

9.) Finally, Use Hasoon's toolkit to, Flash 4EXT Recovery AND

10.) Then to flash supersu.zip to gain root (also done using hasoons toolkit)

YOU MUST FIRST Unlock your bootloader

http://www.htcdev.com/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shahmeer1998:
I forgot to mention my bootloader is unlocked. I unlocked it using htcdev.com. Its unlocked but the phone keeps turning on with a vibration, the htc logo appears for a second, then it turns off. After 7 seconds my cameras flash blinks and the whole process constantly repeats itself. I really need help. Before I could perform the wire trick, this problem occurred.

In short Omnirom is still in an early stage and much like AOSP, but with a few nice additions already (like performance tab and some customization features.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
At the moment it's just AOSP, but over time more features will be added.

But it would be good to see more info in the OP.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davidment:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:

i would like to know if you simple build with adding all available sources/features/fixes, or if you pick just some things? for example is there theme engine already in omnirom? hm i must say others are right, would be nice to have some more informations what you push inside your rom, what not and so on...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
My built is pure Omni (except for root that I added). I also added multi window now (it is buggy because it is not finished yet).

If you want to know more about omnirom i suggest you google it. Or look at there github.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
This should be safe to "dirty" flash over tilal's Omni build right? No data wipe needed? Hopefully?

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

For people that don't understand what OmniROM is, go to the OmniROM forums right here on XDA. You can get all your questions answered there. In a nutshell, OmniROM is a community "XDA" ROM with developers like Dees_Troy, xplodwild, and Chainfire as the main founders. It's totally open-source, open to feature requests, nightlies are stable, etc.

Essentially it's just a really awesome AOSP-based ROM with some cool features (detailed in the forums and on the website) and a very open mindset.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
And as tilal says, disable HW overlays and its fine.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Side note: does ART break Google Keyboard? AOSP keyboard works fine but Google Keyboard FCs.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
i cant flash any other rom anymore, get the getprop ro.product.device error. Help?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Did you use ART while you were on this ROM?

Side note: I flashed a newer gapps and Google Keyboard works now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
In 4.4 google now homescreen page isnt there because of the launcher3.apk im using I think. Launcher2.apk should have the homescreen but thats not included now, anyway minor details. Rom needs to be stable first.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
Hope to see mint here soon as official nightly :silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
I installed the launcher 2 apk and it worked great bar the location stuff due to GPS not working, with disable HW it was much better, just need the Phone side of it to work now and it will be a great rom.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
tilal is probably already working on that
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
Has any feature been merged to the OmniROM sources or it is an essentially AOSP for the moment?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
its like stock android 4.4 with a few tweaks. But 'they' will be adding new features/tweaks to omnirom ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Are these lags I'm having being caused by the ROM or by using ART? For example I get major lag when pushing the home button; often takes more than a second to respond. I'm thinking I'm gonna switch back to Dalvik for now anyways because ART breaks most apps if you try to move them to SD card...but battery life was amazing :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
Why on earth would you move apps to SD card in a phone like Xperia T? I believe there's enough space for anything you want...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
Probably due to the phone side not working, once the it is, then we can give it a real test.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tendyfish:
Im having the same problem, i did not enable ART, any idea how i can get back to flashing other custom rom, especially Omnirom 4.3.1???
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
OK never mind, the lags are still here even in Dalvik. I'm gonna switch back to ART soon because it is a lot faster most times.

Hello, thomas1991_12!

Have a little problem with Omnirom 4.3.1. After installing TWRP don't see the internal memory, so I can't flash CWM back.

Also no root, no restore, no 4.4 Omnirom flashing (no SDcard in office).

Is there some solution? Trying almost anything to flash CWM over ADB\Rom Manager but without root all this ways failed.

Thanks a lot for a possible help.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
Use ADB SIDELOAD in TWRP (advanced menu). Then from command/terminal do adb sideload packagename.zip.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
So the RIL in your build is different than the one Tilal uses? The biggest downside on the 4.4 (and 4.3) is the massive battery drain when on 3g (2g and wifi are fine). So if that could get fixed, I'd be super happy.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
You are using an old recovery that does not support the selinux extensions introduced in 4.4. Use the latest TWRP.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ArdinCani:
i believe you mean twrp 2.6.3.0 via fastboot flash recovery.... right? :o ( stupid question i know)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
I tried flashing the 4.4 from 15 november. It failed. Now I can't even boot to the previous (tilals build) version. My phone is stuck on the sony logo. :/ Will try to download and flash tilals build once more. Also, sometimes TWRP doesn't see what's on the internal storage and I have to use an external sd card. When I flashed tilals build, after switching directories, the zips magically appeared once in the sdcard directory. Weird stuff.

edit: the exact error:

can't install this package (za nov 9 10:20:40 C

E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/extern

Error flashing zip '/external_sd/omni-4.4-201311

Clearly, some of the text is missing.

TWRP v 2.6.3.0

The same error appears when flashing a sense rom on htc devices with a version newer than 2.3.3 The solution then is to revert back to an older version of twrp, but that won't work for this rom i presume.

[MENTION=2228255]thomas1991_12[/MENTION]: There's a small problem with your updater-script

(!less_than_int(1383988840, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (za nov 9 10:20:40 CET 2013) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");

I think you forgot to update the build date. This makes it impossible to flash it over tilal's 13/11 build.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
Is there a way to edit the script to make it work? I can put in a newer date in the updater-script, but you have to compile that script to an update-binary and I don't have the tools on this computer. I've looked for the HEX value of the date in the update-binary, but can't seem to find it in the script. 1383988840 is not stored as 527DFE68, so I can't just up that number a bit. Anybody here a clue?

edit: I've put in the update script files from tilal's most recent buld and was able to flash the rom without problems. The phone is rebooting now, so i hope all will work well.

noob guide: unzip both 4.4 rom files (tilals 13/11 and thomas 15/11) and copy update-binary and updater-script (in META-INF/com/google/android) from tilals build into the corresponding directory in Thomas' build and rezip. Flash that file and all did go well on my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
I just removed the whole line from the script and replaced it in the zip ;P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
I thought that twrp discarded the script and used just the binary. I was wrong so it seems. Too bad the bluetooth audio still stutters and is low in pitch :(

So far the major bugs are:

blue screen (but should be fixed in next build)

no HDMI (will likely never work)

Bluetooth audio is pretty much unusable due to stuttering and slower playback

massive battery drain when using 3g (but that might be better in this build with the new RIL? I hope so at least)

edit: I get some screen flickering from time to time
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
No it's the script that tells the binary what to do ;)

For the flickering, iirc disable hardware overlays in developer options.
