If you don't mind having a mostly-AOSP ROM (almost all features missing) and the occasional lag here and there, then you're good to go!

The battery life is unlike anything I've seen in 4.3 ROMs.

Didn't have the chance to test GPS or camera yet.

Camera working, GPS working, battery is fantastic

Not really working for me either.

Getting blue flashing bars on nav bar with notification pulled down on home screen.

Music is not working at all, crashing both dsp manager and music (apollo). At first I thought it was bluetooth but same problem with nothing connected.

Edit: OK, so the phone's not making any sound at all. First I tried without wipe, since I was on the 15/11 build. Tried again with full wipe but same probs.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
Also same issues on Nav bar and and blue flashes, screen also goes black quite frequently, and quite a few reboots.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yeah sound is apparently broken, screen flickering is an apparent problem, and I can also confirm the blue bars on the nav bar when the notification shade is pulled down.

Yeah what's happened is Thomas has used the new audio hal but forgotten to enable the legacy audio flag in the boardconfig. I'm going to put out the build I've been testing tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
Besides the audio problems, does the blue fickering reported here, that this commit has failed?

Would the new Audio HAL solve the bluetooth audio problem?

Anyway, congratulations on your work so far. The Xperia T did receive kitkat before the nexus 4. that's quite something. Also, isn't having two threads for essentially the same rom not somewhat confusing?

Anyways, looking forward to your build.

I really think it's getting time for me to make my own builds. It's been too long ago since I've worked on some lower level hardware stuff. I must say I'm pretty intrigued by all of this. Would you mind if I would set out and try to port CM to the Xperia T using your code and all? I don't think anybody is working on CM 11 for Xperia T I believe. I want your approval first, since you deliberately chose to no longer work on CM for reasons well known. It would be a great learning experience for me I believe.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
There is already CM11 build from FXP https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-11

cdesai is working on CM for mint ...

But I have to say Omni is better at this stage, audio is not working in that first CM11 build, maybe even more bugs I don't know I did not stay more than 10 min.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
actually, fxp is working on cm 11, you can find the build on their website, but its kind of experiemental build, some stuffs are broken

anyway, it would be nice if you could port CM to our devices
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
Well, I'll start with setting up a build environment. I'll see which rom I'll port, now that I know CM is already being done it will be some other. The primary goal is learning, so don't expect too much.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
that's so nice of you, I'm looking foward to your first build, thx man
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
Since thomas1991_12 is also working on OmniROM, shouldn't it be better to close/lock this thread and have just one thread for the ROM where thomas1991_12 and tilal6991 can post the newer builds? Just my 2c... :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mchosch:
I also think it is better to have one thread :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] eybee1970:
as far as I understood, thomas is building his ROMs in a slightly different way (e.g. linaro toolchain for kernel)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
With 4.4 i build the same way as tilal I suppose, so this thread can be closed.

Sorry for last build, forgot some stuff and didnt have any time to test myself.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fr500:
Does anyone have problems moving apps to the external SD with this and tilal's build?

Apps work fine but after a reboot they just disappear

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

I'm still on dalvik by the way
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
use tilal's latest build this bug has been fixed ....

also if you read the post about yours thomas said this thread was no longer needed and could be closed .... perhaps look in general thread or in tilal's omni thread for future :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
which build are you on? saying tilal's build does not help much as there could be newer versions since you downloaded
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
It would have been nice to have both a little notice and a little credit for this. The reason I didn't put out another omni build after my test build is that the repos are under a lot of turmoil due to the number of changes being commited. I've made some pretty big changes to the kernel lately and I was testing them to make sure that nothing broke. On top of that a lot of stuff is being merged into critical areas like bionic which could have a big impact on performance.

In any case I have no problems with these builds - just wanted to point the above out and also the fact that offical nightlies will be starting soon for mint.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
Meant no disrespect to you of course, just sharing my builts until officals are there. Looking forward to your improvements.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Is anyone else experiencing issues with installing apps from the Play Store in the multi build? I keep getting "insufficient storage" errors...

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

It seems like I only get the problem with certain apps, Helium and Root Browser for example.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
No problem with those apps here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Huh. I'll try a reboot, see if that fixes it. If not maybe I'll have to fresh install :eek:

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

I figured it out... It was because of some unused odex files in /data/app for those apps from Lucky Patcher.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Also, I flashed gapps after flashing this ROM to be safe but it says "gapps included" in the OP. Does that mean we should be fine without flashing gapps every time we update the ROM; are gapps "baked in" to this build?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
So this is not official ?

Then i'll wait for the official OmniRom from tilal6991. Running his test build and it's very good (except for the battery)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Battery usage "efficiency" -- usage from Android System and Google Services -- is much improved in this ROM; if this is how it'll be for the official builds this is gonna be awesome :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigD18t:
Anyone use instagram !! When I post a photo it just gives a black square after editing.

Can someone test, photo is taken with stock camera app.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Wow battery usage is truly excellent! Almost no usage from Android System!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
more info is needed, screen time, apps that sync, calls you made etc etc etc
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
I had a screenshot with screen time. For the record right now I have 72% battery on 1h12m screentime. All of my apps are syncing except for Facebook and Twitter and Reddit and GameFAQs which I disabled with Greenify to save battery since all those websites are blocked at school anyways. I did not make any calls, but WiFi was on the whole time, data was disabled the whole time, I have "only use 2G networks" checked, and mobile service is very poor in my school (as you can see from the screenshots).

Kind of a side thing and sorry for being a bit of a prick with this question, but could you be a bit nicer next time you ask for information? Instead of just demanding rather impatiently. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
this is nice for me, and sorry but Englsh is not my native language so sometimes it may come over that i'm not nice

ontopc: so you allmost never used your phone and most stuff is turned off. so that's not a real good test (for me). most people use 3g, sync more stuf, make calls and browse. i guess i have to try it myself
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Sorry for being hard on you; I didn't know English wasn't your native language. For future reference, remember to phrase things in questions and use please, please! Thanks!

And no, I did use my phone...1h12m of screen is definitely using my phone. Just because my phone was in standby for several hours doesn't mean I "almost never used" it. If we take a look at the math, since I got over 1h of screen time on 25% of battery, a full discharge of the battery would yield over 4h of screen time in an ideal situation, which is AWESOME. Of course if you use your phone continuously the battery will drain faster.

The only thing that was really turned off while I was using my phone was data/3G because I don't have a data plan. So don't yell at me for it not being a "good test" because I'm not testing 3G; I don't have a data plan so I can't test 3G/data :P I have several accounts synced including my Google account and Tapatalk and stuff; Facebook and Twitter and stuff never take up much battery usage anyways so I doubt Greenify's making THAT much of a difference.

While my test might not match your usage patterns, I can tell you this: This ROM has given SIGNIFICANTLY better battery life than ANY ROM I've tried on this phone with my personal usage pattern. It should yield the same results for you in RELATIVE terms (relative to your usage pattern, that is), unless there is something significantly wrong with data/3G/calling in this ROM.

So yeah you should just give it a try because it's a pretty battery-efficient ROM. Negligible usage from Android System/OS is very notable in AOSP ROMs for this phone. In every other AOSP ROM I've had on my Xperia T, the battery drain from Android System/OS has been monumental.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Incer:
With tilal's CM10.2 I'm getting almost 3h of screen-on time with 3g data and wifi enabled, which is in line with what you're getting, as wifi uses way less battery. I've also noticed that with 3g disabled there are less wakelocks taking place so standby consumption is way more efficient (and location services are more relaxed too).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
I dunno what the problem was on CM 10.2, but even with 3G data disabled and being on WiFi-only, I rarely got anywhere near 3h screentime. 3h screentime was the absolute max I could get, with it usually maxing out more towards 2.5h screen time. And only getting 3h screentime is pretty bad, especially since I disabled data. On Omni it seems to be way better.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Incer:
Have you already reinstalled everything?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
What do you mean? I'm running all of my normal apps on Omni right now.

I'm not one of those people that installs like, the minimum amount of apps possible on their device to save RAM and battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Battery is bad here to and phone is getting warmer the normal. Will post screenshots when i get home.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Battery life is bad, very bad

- 33% left after 8 hours and 46 minutes

- screentime is 1 hour 20 minutes

- 3g on / no wifi / no gps

- Gmail sync (nothing synced but that)

- no calls, only browsing, facebook, WhatsApp and i took 1 photo.

- phone gets hot when using it.

- using gravitybox for transparency bars, smaller nav bars.

I gonna leave this rom and wait on the official omnirom, because the max that i can get out of is 10 hours and +- 2 hours screen time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Idk it's gotta be something to do with 3G/data then. 3G data drains battery like a B from what I've heard so yeah. Also how long did you use the ROM for? Usually it takes a few days to a week for the battery to settle.

Try using the ROM on WiFi without 3G/data enabled. Because my phone rarely gets very hot and my battery life is way better than what you're reporting even though I've got more stuff synced, GPS on and whatnot. Also try without Gravitybox.

It's weird that just having 3G data enabled can make such a dramatic difference in battery life.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Wifi is not an option because i'm on the road all day. Battery is huge for me

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I know i takes a few days for the battery to settle. But it's no gonna change to much
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
I'm curious if anyone else could test battery life while using 3G data, to see if there really is something this monumentally wrong with the way this ROM handles 3G/data.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
battery is dead now. now need to charge it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
had to switch out of omni no reason except at this current point it just doesn't have all the features i need / want but i know they are coming so i will be back :) ...... i can say 3g on all roms uses around 2 times more battery than wifi for my use on omni i can get just shy of 24hours out of one charge cant remember the exacts but that was on wifi when i was away for the weekend on 3g it dramatically dropped to around 16 hours both days i was away for ..... but i have similar comparison usage with stock and cm 10.1 stock on wifi i get around 16 hours and 3g i get around 11 cm 10.1 i get around 14 hours wifi and 9 - 10 on 3g so for me cm not so good .... on stock i am OC to 1890Ghz so could probably get more out of stock if i went to the stock 1512Ghz although from previous tests it doesnt make that much difference to my battery maximum of 30 mins for me but average of around 15 mins ( i tested different settings for overclocking for over a month )

i can say from my experience on onmi that in its current form it does have the best battery life BUT it is barebonez so it should be light on the battery wait until it has more features and then see .... im hoping that the battery stays good but im fairly confident that it wont
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Well I hope they figure out a way to keep the battery like this. Because this is too awesome to give up.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i hope the battery life will be fixed / change, because at the moment all 4.3 roms have bad battery life. max 10 to 12 hours with 2 hours screen time :crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DentTette:
Since you are the only one complaining about battery life on this ROM it would be best to check some stuff out:

-What is your battery life with the exact same apps installed on STOCK (try this now), Your battery might be beginning to fail(known issue on Xperia T).

-Are you constantly on the road? What is the coverage like in those areas, Bad coverage = Bad battery, even worse when on 3g

Source: Had to replace my battery, it failed slowly over the course of several months
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
Batterylife for me is pretty good, as I dont use 3G. I suspect thats the main easy. But no quick fix for that.

BTW, new builds will not have MULTI included in filename, it will be included now by default.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Just making sure, have you tested today's build yourself? WiFi works fine, I trust?

People have been reporting that WiFi doesn't work with the 4.3.1 releases from CM and AOKP so I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue here.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:

Hey have you tested the latest build? The one from 10/24. For me it's removed all battery drain except for Android OS (which IIRC is normal). Idle drain is absolutely minimal! For me, though; I wonder if you'll still have the same problems with 3G.

The phone doesnt get (very) hot while charging and in idle.

Though some CM features still missing but can be added using GravityBox

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
The usage chart is quite excellent (very minimal usage from anything except the screen) so I assume that battery on 3G is supposed to be about that bad.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Excellent? I hardly use my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Yes because the screen is using most of battery. On most roms for the Xperia T, Android System will use more battery than the screen. The chart suggests that asides from kernel efficiency improvements, there's not much else that can be improved with battery life on this rom.
