that worked like a charm, it is maybe worth to put the boot.img installation via fastboot part in OP especially for those who are not coming from previous omni releases or cm10.2?

btw at last I could install the rom and try it :)

it seems very nice and promising but not ready for daily use unfortunately, it is often very laggy here even if I full clean installed it (using default dalvik) and some very important extra features are missing.

for lagginess, I will try with ART soon even if I already know that I can't use it daily for now, as I need whatsapp ;(

problems I found so far a parts from the little lagginess I noticed are:

- in twrp, I can not see the internal SD even browsing all the system three.. had to copy all the zips to the external one! (maybe because I formatted it via MIUI time ago?)

- I had one blue screen + reboot while playing with the lock screen widgets

- it seems there are problems with data indicators/arrows while data is being exchanged even if data connection is working in both 2g and 3g mode

- wake up from sleep seems pretty slow here sometimes

Also, I'm curious about a couple of things:

- I can not see any playstore or google vending package, neither in system/app nor in data/app, but I can see Play Store after install PA gapps and adding my account.. how is that possible? do you know where the app is actually located in system?

- I see in PA Gapps there are optionals FaceLock and Google Camera apps.. is there a way to automatically install them? (I mean without manually copying all the files in the optional directories in the zip to the system three directories). I see there are some .sh script files but wouldn't know how to run them..

Very last thing for now, for those who are having problems with es file manager while accessing sd cards: I can access both internal and external SD's actually, only the quick links in the top are broken. If you go to /storage, you can see and access both SD cards without problems, at least here! ;)

Thanks for your great work tilal please keep it up! :fingers-crossed: :good: :)

EDIT: even with ART it seems I am having some laggy experience ;(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mahthenewgamer1998:
yeah I used stock 4.1.2 before flash this And didn't use older versions of omni:p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
You guys that are having lag problems, I think it's something wrong on your end. Because my experience has been perfect in that area and I'm very picky about speed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
don't know what to try so.. I installed it in a very clean way as always (format data, cache, dalvik and system) and then installed omni + PA gapps and rebooted.. :|

+ no restores of any kind..

will try again soon and see if I discover something more :)

are you on ART or dalvik?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
Thanks for this! :)

Do you have any indication as to why the backuptool script doesn't seem to work on mint? Or has this been resolved somehow?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] russell664:
Hello thomas, what are the new changes to this build? Or is it just more up to date sources?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thomas1991_12:
Havent look into backuptool yet, never used it.

Latest sources (https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/status:merged,n,z) and updated caf branches tot rb1.18.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
tbh, I might be using a wrong name. I'm talking about the fact that when updating to a newest nightly, one has to flash again GApps, root, etc. which is not the case in other phones/tablets with Omni.

Battery life with the homebuild is terrible for me. 10% in a hour with 10 minutes screen on an almost no sync
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Don't know if it is a bug or? When i set a new govenor (peformance) and leave the apply auto. on boot OFF and reboot my phone it isn't set back to ondemand. Also sometimes when i leave an app i dont get back to the homescreen but see an app i used a time ago for 2 seconds and see the homescreen?

also this problem:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] russell664:
I can confirm battery life is not as good as the previous homemade by Thomas.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
It's very very bad for me. After 5 hours it's almost dead for me. With 100 minutes screen on time
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] el_angelo:
thnx. Works great here. Same battery life as before. After 10 hours still 60% battery left, and that is with a session of Carmageddon in between :p

The problem with the keyboard gestures and the play store that is not working is back though. Do i really need to fully wipe my phone in between updates? It was working perfectly with the 26th build (with full wipe) and now it's again not working (not wiped yet).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Battery life seems to be fine for me. At least, on overnight drainage anyway. Very little battery drained overnight. Maybe 5-8%.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cetronix:
With full wipe I have no bugs whatsoever except browser sync which is easily fixed. Perfect work Thomas!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i can't. still missing the option to change the size of the nav bar / buttons and to center the clock

btw: went back to the original nightly's ..the homebuild drains my battery like hell
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Thanks. From my measly knowledge about gerrit, I can at least surmise that those links are some fixes you submitted to fix the branches? But they can't be merged until some other guy looks at them? Did I get that right? Lol. Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
I think tilal6991 was waiting for confirmation if these patches broke something on Exynos devices, as well as on Nexus 5 (hammerhead).

He got the confirmation from other contributors (Utkarsh Gupta, Jake Whatley) that it works and doesn't break anything, so it's up to him now to verify these patches and merge them.

I think that this is how the story goes, of course he can correct me if I'm wrong! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Awesome! I'm excited to get back on these nightlies!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
Looks like latest nightly is smoother than Thomas's build. But it still has the black flickering problem.

Looking forward to a brighter future for omni :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tendyfish:

waiting for new HOMEMADE, nightlies are not bad, but they're not as good as HOMEMADEs :laugh::laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
the problem with not recognized internal SD is still present, in latest nightly. happened to me now. think twice before format storage while make clean installation :/

(nightly05.01.2014, clean instalation, formatted, wiped everything, excluded external sd)

- internal sd card is present, and i see the right size, but cannot write to it

- external sd works

edit:

- solved problem by clean installation of omni-4.3.1-20131107-mint-HOMEMADE.zip (old build by thomas)

- then wiped everything and installed newest nightly

- now i can write internal sd
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
English US is pre installed for me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i disagree, homemade gives me 5 to 6 hours batterylife
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tuzmaster_v2:
but the performance of nightlies are not as good as homemade (compare using antutu). you can try to underclock the GPU to save some juice, i've tried and it really works, using trickster mod app.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
i don't care about benchmark. it's just for people who like cockfighting (look mine is bigger then yours). i phone with 6 hours battery life is useless.

nightlies give around the 14 hours of battery life (als not much, but alot better the 6 hours).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Some one got experience with active display ? It seems it does not work on my phone

Verstuurd van mijn Xperia T met Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
My battery life is just fine with the homebuilds.

Also, it's not the benchmarks themselves that are important, it's that the homebuilds actually do have a lot better real-life performance than nightlies. I was getting tons of lags with nightlies due to the old branches problems. A lot of latency-type stuff. Obviously this will all be fixed once the nightlies are built on the new branches, but until then, I'm sticking with homebuilds.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

On related good news: It seems that Tilal's branches fix was approved and will be merged into the code today! In other words, we'll be getting nightlies that are on the new branches finally! :D

i don't have lags with nightlies. work fine here
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
That might be if the fixes tilal mentioned have been merged. Do you get black flickering anymore with nightlies? I see that the file size has gone down from 219mb to 218.7mb since the nightly before last. Wondering if that means that they're being built on new branches as before the file sizes just kept rising.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
I'm on yesterdays Nightly, still black flickering
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:

Seems like today's nightly (20140106) is built on the new branches. No black screen flickering, no need to disable HW overlays every time you reboot the phone.

Congrats to the developers! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
Lets hope the battery life is beter the the homemade
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cetronix:
I cannot say much about battery life yet, however homemade consumption was alright. Anyway latest nightly seems very smooth and I confirm that flickering is really gone! Good work :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] blinkin:
nice!!!

Do you know if we still have to flash gapps and supersu after update?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
To be honest, I haven't tried that, but haven't seen any patch regarding this issue. I might be wrong though.

But if you're using the OpenDelta updates, all you have to do is put the GApps and SuperSU .zip files in the /OpenDelta/FlashAfterUpdate folder, and you won't have to worry about it! ;)

Edit: I can confirm that you still have to flash GApps, SuperSU and whatnot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
I just tried nightly from today and it still doesnt work for me! I DONT GET IT! Does work in the latest nightly so thefuuck
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
With the last nightly I don't need anymore to flag "disable hw overlay" yo use the phone. Talking about the battery issue, I have to say that my battery life increases if I leave the same nightly for at least 2 days, without updating. So a one dayctry, according to me, is not that useful to test the battery life.

Instead, I still have problems with TWRP recovery: if I reboot the phone in recovery mode, I have no zip verification option flagged, while if I try to update via OpenDelta, TWRP doesn't update the ROM automatically because the option is flagged. Any idea to solve this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Well i didn't do a clean install. Just flashed over the existing data. If you're using the original GEL and have the speech recognition files, it should work. I'm sorry i can't help you beyond that.. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
It should be OK to "dirty" flash the newest nightly over Thomas's newest homebuild right? As in, wiping only /system, /cache, and dalvik before flashing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
Oh well still thanks, i also didnt do a clean install still not working for me. oh well.

and when official 4.3 will be released it should be even better I guess! really hope it will help in fixing all the pendings problems (reboots if still present, panorama, maybe hdmi out etc) also omni itself has now many more features.. good!

but what about 2g/3g toggle tile, and long back button press to kill features? they are not present right? any chance they will be added?

also, by default data roaming is enabled, wouldn't it be better to let it disabled by default as it used to be in cm to avoid extra provider charges?

heyho, sorry if i sound a bit weird now. its not my rom and not my thread, but i have a little suggestion. you all who review the batterylife, why you not post a "Review" with detailed observations in the "Review" Section (top black bar)

THIS would keep that thread more clean. so we all can find more easy really important things. (for example i needed to find posts about broken internal sdcard)

and also the people who are new to omnirom will see all reviews at one place. so for a first quick look this would help new users, isnt it?

but dont misunderstand me, for discussing new ideas and share new ways for improve our experiences sure we should discuss here.

also, after you did one Review, you will be able to edit and update your older Review anytime.

Please?:p

i guess this was one intention of the new devdb?

But I can't find any download link to the homemade builds...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:

Sounds to me that you do not have an up to date recovery installed. Kitkat requires the latest TWRP recovery or at least a recovery that supports the kitkat changes.

Battery life is certainly worse for me with the new nightlies. I managed to squeeze 90 minutes of screen time and 30 minutes of music playback per day for two days in a row. Also, Google search has given me CPU 250 wakelocks for a total of 2 and a half hours since I updated (EntriesRefresh_wakelock to be more precise).I don't know if this is related to the ROM itself though. I'll be back with a more detailed post after I find out what that wakelock means.

Not blue screen.

Phone stayed with display off and cannot be waked up.

When I disconnected it from charger, diode won't turn off.

So i press lock + vol up to reset.

Than there was no way to start phone again.

When i connect it to PC, phone showed as "qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" wich means HARD BRICK.
