[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xxfraxx:
I have read all the pages of the topic and i have understood that your homebuild is based on the new kernel, but also the 31/03 nightly is based on the new kernel?? Thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
yes as far as i understood latest homebuild and today's nightly should be almost the same, same kernel and other important things.. just a few small differences maybe (headset button maybe and similar?)

if you check gerrit tilal did merge many things in the last two days ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xxfraxx:
Thanks moly82 only an other thing :) Since the last nightly is almost the same of the homebuild and so it should be based on new kernel i must flash 4.3 ftf file, then the boot.img that i find inside the zip and then i can flash the rom right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
i personally didn't flash any ftf..i had a recovery working so i flashed purext by dark lord just in case (which is a 4.3 rom) then full wipe and homebuild directly ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yes the new nightly is based on the 4.3 kernel. It has the headset fix and an updated WiFi driver.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
Sweet. You're awesome, Lalit! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Are you using the latest twrp? Try flashing the bootimage of the ROM first using fastboot and using the inbuilt recovery instead.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
Try to remove the "zip verification file" into recovery, then manually install the upgrade (you can find it in "OpenDelta" folder").
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] clank201:
So now the latest nightly should be better than the latest homebuilt right?

Also

-MHL

-GPS

-Entering recovery when booting with volume rocker

-Android booting when connecting a charger, but shuting down when unplugged

Is all of this fixed?

Thanks tilal for your awesome work :laugh:

Yes
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
Tomorrow I'll start testing latest nightlies, after a week of stock .199.

Just to know: any chance to have Radio FM with a similar stock app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
FM radio support is not present in the framework I'm afraid. It would need significant effort to port it. I'll take a look.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Couple of things:

The Spirit FM 2 app seems to work although the reception is very poor with my phone/area/headphones/app itself. The dev is a nice guy as well and so worth supporting. I will still try and get this included in the actual system however.

Then I have a couple of pictures to share. Admittedly they represent some kernel tweaking on my part which hasn't been included in any public build (yet) but its impressive from a custom ROM and should speak for itself.

Edit: 4 hours now and it still has a couple of percent. This is close to double the best I got before - even on stock

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
I have to say that 4 hours of screen with 10 (is it 10?) hours of battery using is a really decent result, even if I think that stock 4.3 (.199) is the best ROM ever tried for this phone. I have some screenshot of the phone, with 3g always on (I've lost it in the last 2hours, because of the expiration of my mobile profile). I want to say that I'm sharing these screenshots not to prove that "mine is bigger than yours", but just to have a sort of "comparison table" between the two ROMs. Infact, tomorrow I'll try OmniRom!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
BTW is OpenDelta safe to use now? Before whenever I updated through OpenDelta I would start getting home/recents button lag...has this problem been fixed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
No idea. I don't use it because my pattern of updating is irregular.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:
OK and just to confirm: We still have to flash SuperSU right? It isn't built into the ROM correct?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mschwanke:
Yes

Gesendet von meinem LT30p mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
I am about to finish my battery cicle will post the relevant screenshots, in any case I don't think I will get even close to 4 hours of screen on time :p so i hope you really found some nice tweaks to increase battery life and can share in future! :good: :fingers-crossed:

I tried in the past spirit fm app found here on xda but it wasn't working very good, plus when I used it it messed up the phone speaker during calls and had to reboot the phone to get it working again.. can I ask you where you found that spirit fm version 2? maybe you mean this one from the market? "Spirit2: FM for AOSP"

in any case, I really hope you can include a radio app some way in your rom.. it is the only thing I miss from stock right now! :angel: (for example when I am outdoor especially on sunday and my soccer team is playing.. :crying: :D )

ps. cm radio would be even more difficult to import?

thanks as always!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Ok guys I tried omni after a long time and coming from pureXT room I found it great! Smooth as ever and I agree you cannot beat aosp roms..

I flashed it at night.. It survived all the way until the following afternoon however, it then died.. It went into deep sleep and I had to unplug the battery to start it up.. I then thought I would give it one more chance and so I left it the way it was.. By the morning the same happened again.. So I have restored PureXT again..

I first flashed omni at night and as I said until the afternoon the phone was fine.. The only difference I can think of is that I installed gravity box in the afternoon and a little while after that the phone died.. Any ideas as to why this happened or whether gravity box did indeed affect it??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
From what I see, the PureXT from DaRk-L0rD doesn't seem to include the newest firmware files (modem, etc.). I guess that's why tilal6991 said that we HAVE to flash an .ftf file in order to get the newest firmware versions.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
thanks. I thought something similar, but I have never flashed a FTF via flashtool so far so I was a little hesitant, plus a part from initial problems now everything is working just fine so I didn't worry too much about that part :p (in any case, I'll probably do that later on, as soon as I convince myself! :) )

ps. also, at the beginning I just wanted to give omni a quick try, so I think it is not worth to do so in that case, then of course if you decide to stay with it for long it is probably good to do all the correct steps, flash ftf, re-flash omni etc?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
I can't really help if you install something like GravityBox I'm afraid. It modifies framework heavily and even the creator of the module says in bold that AOSP ROMs are not supported.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yes I mean Spirit FM 2.

CM radio was the code I was speaking if importing adapting it for KitKat will be a nightmare. I wasn't even considering importing stock code - that's pretty much impossible.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Thanks tilal I must have missed the part he said that because I am so used to using it on stock roms that I skipped any text the developer wrote.. That's have been the problem then.. I shall reflash omni without xposed.. Thank you for your help :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
thanks! wish you all the luck about that :fingers-crossed: and I'm really sorry I can't be of any help :(

btw I don't understand very well your problem.. sounds similar to a "sleep of death" maybe, or something else?

I'm asking because.. I have GravityBox up and running here.. and never had such problems as you so far..! (but of course it is surely worth to try without GB in any case!)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
Just wait until tilal6991 posts a new build. The link goes to a specific change in the kernel code.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] zandm7:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
I tried it again, with full wipe. Both dalvik and ART have the same problem. I made a logcat but I can't really find any useful information about what's going on.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
In Thomas' thread, you can find a slightly newer version which should improve RIL. (but I can't fhlash it with twrp 2.6.3.0) Thomas and Tilal are both working on making this rom work on the Xperia T and both offer builds in their own threads. Just take the one which is newer is my strategy.

From what I can see in gerrit, Thomas and Tilal are hard at work. :good:

Blue screen should be fixed in the next build. Tilal has also just commited code to improve stability and reduce memory leaks.

Tilal, I hope you don't mind me posting this info here, but I've always liked to have some insight in what's going on and I believe some others here would appreciate this info.

Tilal used a hack to get the RIL from 4.3 working, Thomas has since coded a better implementation of the RIL, so my hopes are that will also fix Bluetooth audio playback.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
any chance to get panorama to work with these omni builds? maybe with focal? has anybody tried and got it work? (I'm not on omni now and can't try it again before couple of days so sorry but can't try by myself..)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Well this fix is not in Thomas' 15/11 build yet, just tried that and it has the same issues with BT audio.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Teun_2:
The RIL fix is in Thomas' build, I guess I shouldn't have hoped that that would have also fixed bluetooth audio :( I would love to be able to use my nokia bh 905 :(

Last battery screenshot from me: so after the long battery test yesterday I left my phone in airplane mode overnight with 1% battery remaining. This is what I woke to find in the morning. IMHO 8 hours on one percent is pretty impressive even if its airplane mode. View attachment 2662396
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
my battery stats with latest homebuild (not nigthly), just if it can be useful for comparings purposes?

my usage in the last two days: only 2g almost all the time, switched to 3g just a couple of times to install a couple of apps. then at home I enabled wi-fi for a few hours (for messaging, tapatalk and gmail). airplane mode at night.

bye!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
Do you remember your "screen on" time? Did you used it with 3g/wifi on?

You can see those a page or two back.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DS-1:
Ok. Did you use 3g?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Mobile network on 3G? No - as you can see from the screen I was on WiFi. If you ask whether I was on the 3G network - yes - I get good 3G reception in my house.

Testing the last nightly and it's really fine.

No blue screens, but just a little blue bar flickering under the virtual buttons ONLY when notification bar is opened on quick settings window.

It happens sometimes, not always.

Just a question: is active display supposed to work on T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
I don't use because I think that it will drain the battery because our screen is not Amoled.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
The commits I was referring to in yesterday's post have nothing to do with a pseudo stamina setup. They are genuine kernel tweaks which save battery consistently when the phone is in use.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scanno:
My post was not meant as a reply on battery usage or kernel tweaks. I find the battery impressive. It is a very good job you did.

I mean that with the battery saver commits you can switch off some stuff automatically at night that can save some extra battery.

On a side note, I'm anxiously waiting for tilal6991 to merge the battery-related kernel patches!

Oh and another thing: since the 4.3 kernel sources were merged, I noticed that the backuptool now works, so no need to flash Gapps or SuperSU etc. on every update.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
hi guys. I would like to do all the correct steps now so I'd like to flash the 4.3 modem.. sorry for asking but I never flashed anything with flashtool..! :angel:

do you mean something like the selections I did in the attachment?

if all that's ok I'll proceed.. also, considering I am still running latest homebuild (nightlies are very slow to download here :( ) after this flashing should I expect everything to be just working as now, or will I have to do something particular to restore the full functionalieties?

Yep, it is correct! I flashed the new modem from latest IT ftf and all works well, without flash/wipe nothing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Alright so I was in the 31st nightly for the past 20 hours or so. Absolutely no bugs encountered. So wonderful to see. Also no SOD even though I use GB and a ton of other Xposed modules.

The battery life is definitely impressive: I've lost 76% over the course of 18 hours on the dot!

WiFi was always on - location services. Actual WiFi was used only about 16 hours - rest was on 2G data connection.

Screen on time was 2h 40m.

Definitely better than my experience with the new stock rom. Now I'm moving to PA!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] _Raziel666:
Seems like tilal6991's latest round of patches were merged two hours ago. Hopefully they will make it on the upcoming nightly! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
They will but the GPU patches have to be manually enabled for the moment. I'm a bit concerned about enabling them automatically without some external testing as they have the potential to wreak havoc if they don't work. I'll put up instructions on enabling the tweaks after tomorrows nightly is built.

is there any way to go directly from CM10 to CM11 without flashing the stock?

La gatta frettolosa fece i gattini ciechi :)

Rephasing: is there any way to go directly from CM10 to OmniROM without flashing the stock?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
:D

with "flashing the stock" you mean the need of flashing a 4.3 ftf via flashtool for the updated modem firmware thing?

if so, I haven't done it yet, and everything is working just fine anyway.

so I would do like that:

- get latest OMNI nightly

- enter download mode and fastboot flash the kernel contained in the zip, then fastboot reboot and then enter in the new recovery with volume buttons when you see the violet led (I'm considering you are in cm10 right now then recovery could be too old to load latest omni)

- flash latest nightly + gapps + superSU

- reboot

for the correct things, and get the new modem, at any point do this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51575445&postcount=1607 (but I repeat I still have to do that so can't report anything about this step :p )

bye!

EDIT: I've just flashed stock FW 295 as per the screenshot above, so with only the modem.. everything works, but the baseband info is exactly the same as before.. is that normal? i guessed flashing new modem would have changed the baseband as well! if it is normal it doesn't change, can you please let me know how to check if I really and correctly flashed new modem? thanks! :silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
The baseband info is incorrect anyway so don't pay much attention to it. Its actually hardcoded in build.prop AFAIK.

1. Change the CPU governor to Conservative in performance settings.

2. Then in terminal emulator or adb shell:
