That's my question! Would love to try this, but I'm liking ART so far, and would rather not back away from it. Anyone try with ART yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
The only reason i probably wouldn't stick with ART is TiBu doesn't work with it. Don't know if it's something the app dev needs to update or it just won't ever be compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
There's circle battery in Omni? If so, I can't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
It's in settings under battery :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
Thank you. I am a moron.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] almo40192:
Does anyone know if I am able to change the toggles in the drop down bar? They are so many that i do not use that i want to remove.

I'm also using the latest build, thanks

Edit: Ok, so I figured it out, but its complicated as all hell. There is no setting to actually change them but you have to do it within the drop down itself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
This would be the new quick settings 2.0 introduced by paranoid android. I find it much quicker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
I have also experienced this it's almost like a scratchy noise
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
My navigation bar keeps disappearing and I get the up arrow in the middle and camera icon on the bottom right line the lock screen. Sometimes I'm able lock the screen and come back in 5 minutes and it's restored but others i have to reboot get them back

Latest OmniMetal with no mods, kernel, etc. Clean install with PA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
This only happens to me when I get an active display notification and go straight to the app to check the message, but all I have to do is put the phone to sleep and after turning it on, it will be back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
Hmmm...I've been thinking of using Cover as my lock screen. Gonna turn off Active Display and see if that helps. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
new test build coming soon, plus another one later :P

please report if the previous issues are fixed or if there are new ones in both builds and also benchmarks compared to the 01-05-2014 regular build

I'm trying to narrow down which optimizations can improve performance without issues to use in the future :P

Also the older test build will soon be removed from my mediafire (since it had issues and to save space)

Edit: here is the test build-

OmniMetal-toro-TEST2

Edit2: Second test build of the day-

OmniMetal-toro-TEST3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricola1989:
Just got done flashing test build 2. What are the changes in these test builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I didnt bother telling the differences because most people that would flash them would have practically no clue what I'm talking about lol :P

However if you really want to know, all the builds included multi window and this commit to pass -O3 and TARGET_THUMB_STRICT to the clang compiler which mostly compiles graphics code in 4.4 to hopefully improve graphics performance.

The TEST build also included changing the -O2 GLOBAL_LDFLAGS to -O3 and adding funsafe-math-optimizations cflag to TARGET_arm_CFLAGS (both should improve overall performance).

The TEST2 build changed the GLOBAL_LDFLAGS back to -O2 but kept the funsafe-math-optimizations cflag in TARGET_arm_CFLAGS (to narrow down which was causing issues).

And the TEST3 build added back -O3 to GLOBAL_LDFLAGS but removed the funsafe-math-optimizations cflag (again to try to narrow down what was causing issues)

Btw, after quick testing, it seems like the TEST3 build fixes the little graphical errors with lockscreen and loading circles, I havent gotten to test about the sound issue or anything else yet though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricola1989:
You're right I don't know what any of that is yet. But I appreciate you responding and explaining it regardless.

As a side note, music doesn't sound grainy/distorted over the phone speaker, which was a quick way to tell for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
I can also confirm that funny graphics are fixed (circle battery, lockscreen, loading circles, wonkiness in games). Sound is clean again.

Benchmarking:

Rom: 1-08 Test 3

Kernel: Mpokang 1080p

Runtime: Dalvik (can't survive w/o Xposed!)

CPU Max: 1.2 GHz

CPU Gov: interactive

GPU: 384 MHz

MPU: -25 mV all

RAB: 1024

Scheduler: sioplus

TCP: reno

Average of 3 tests, order of tests randomized (why can't i get awesome scores like you metal???)

Antutu: 11431

Quadrant: 2773

GPU Bench: 7172

Edit: Also tried 1.5 GHz (performance gov), 512 MHz, 2048 RAB and scores were only a tiny bit better...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
You need ART for the benchmark scores.

You should let liquid smooth know how you fixed the battery and loading circles all of there builds are suffering the same problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
metalspring did not specify ART or dalvik for benchmarks, just asked for benchmarking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
What are you using to get the benchmark tests?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Correct, what's really needed are comparisons to the last regular build to see what improved or didn't improve :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
You can see them in his notes:

tools=Antutu,Quadrant:, GPU Bench (download from play store).

kernel and all settings are in description.

What theme chooser would you guys recommend for omni
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
What I meant was when you asked "why can't I get awesome benchmarks like you metal???"

Its because you don't have ART enabled.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] culaponk:
Hai, I'm just migrated from latest cm metal. I fell latest omni is the best, very smooooth :thumbup:

But do you have problem with data? Cause i have :(

Any clue for fixed my problem?

Thx so much for omni
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
Ah, I see. Yeah, it's possible that the scores would get better with ART, but metalspring was getting like 6000+ on quadrant. I've not seen evidence that ART can triple the score, but I'll give it a shot... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
I just installed OmniMetal-4.4.2-20140105-toro last night with a full wipe and followed the instructions in the OP. I used the SuperSU from the link and the Mpokang_kernel-v10_SuperRAM-4.4 kernel. I'm coming from PA 3.99RC2, and this one blew me away with how super-smooth it is. It really breathes new life to my toro. I am having one issue, though, I cannot get ADB working. If I kill the server and start it over, it seems fine:

However, if I try any adb commands I get the following error:

I tried this on two PCs that were working just fine for ADB commands before this. Anyone else having an issue with ADB? I tried searching the thread and didn't see any mentions of issues with ADB.

EDIT: In case anyone else needs them, I found the updated adb here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1724500&d=1360704125
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Do you have Mobo daemon installed? If you do remove it or validate the key and it should works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
Are you using Windows? If so, check the Device Manager to see if you have an unknown device. My Android devices sometimes go missing like this and I have to manually install the ADB driver again. I don't think it says "device offline" though; I think mine usually says not present or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Thanks! I ended up doing some more searching and found that my version of adb was out of date. Needed to find one that was version 1.0.31. The one supplied with the android sdk was 1.0.29 or something like that. It works now. The issue was the older version did not give me the prompt on the phone to authorize the computer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palosjr:
Hey guys, just figured I would share here since there was a previous discussion about jumping from Verizon.

I went to T-Mobile today and made the change with them covering my ETF. it worked out pretty well in my favor. I purchased an iPhone 5 on contract in September of 2012 and initiated my contract then. A few months ago I started to really miss the Android scene and purchased a Galaxy Nexus (I wanted a Nexus device for the dev involvement) off of craigslist after checking the IMEI.

When I went in, I handed over the Nexus, which had a trade in value of a whopping $18. They did an IMEI check to make sure it was clean and took the device no problem. The girl that did it didnt even check for water damage, just made sure it turned on, had a good screen and no major damage. I had reverted everything to stock before taking it in just in case, but it didnt even seem as though they cared.

All in all I ended up getting a Nexus 5 for $0 down (16.50 a month) and the unlimited plan (unlimited talk, text, 4G LTE data and 2.5 GB of mobile hotspot) with JUMP insurance for $70 a month. I get a discount through work so it comes out cheaper than the normal $80+16.50+taxes. Plus I get a mobile allowance at work of $75 so I really have a zero dollar phone bill now.

I was paying <$150 a month on verizon for 1 line and 8GB of data. Nuts...

The ETF will be refunded to me in the form of a MasterCard Gift Card, which is fine with me. The gift card, I was told by the manager, would be in the sum of $350 to cover the final bill. I asked if the card was dependent on the final bill that was sent to them and he said no. If thats true than that gift card will cover my last month of service PLUS my ETF.

It was a super easy experience and I gotta say I came out on top here. Anyone else make the jump yet? (no pun intended)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
Definitely thinking about it! I have 4 smart phones on a family share plan with 4 Gigs of data and I get 18% off and I am paying $245 a month!

I figure I could get 2 Nexus 5's an S4 and a iPhone 5c for about 80-100 bucks less with my work discount.

I am checking on ROOTmetrics for coverage in my area. If it checks out I am gone......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
Im running the test3 build and when i go to switch to Art and hit OK to reboot it reboots but still says under developer options that I'm still on dalvik.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
are you using xposed? it isnt compatible with ART so it always forces you back onto dalvik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Metal, if you want to create a changelog for any ROMs and make it come out in a neat / organized fashion, I just created this script (based loosely on vanir-cronbuild.sh).

What it does is, creates a folder (you'll have to edit the destination) with todays date, grabs the changes based on the last day, and then puts it in the aforementioned folder. Just put it in your build/ folder and run: . build/changelog.sh

super easy.

It was also pretty easy to make. It just took me a few minutes longer than expected because I was cd'ing into my VanirChangelog folder prior to doing anything else, which made it impossible to repoforall because it was obviously still in the VanirChangelog folder. Derp. I quickly realized what I was doing and commented it out so everyone can see my silly error :P

if you have any questions, ask.

Script code:

#!/bin/bash
_now=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y")
_file=/home/kyler/Desktop/VanirChangelogs/$_now/Vanir-Changelog-$_now.log

mkdir -p /home/kyler/Desktop/VanirChangelogs/$_now # && cd /home/kyler/Desktop/vanir/build/ &&

repo forall -pc git log --reverse --no-merges --since=1.day.ago > $_file

edit: Just realized Id have to create and if-then function for you because you dont have the folder set up yet and it automatically assumes you do.

For now, just create it wherever, and then modify _file to point to that folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Hopefully everything works on the build I'm doing now, it should have a bunch more features, plus more optimizations and maybe even link time optimization (cross fingers) :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
I'm definitely thinking about switching! I have 2 smart phones and I pay 180/month with one phone still on an unlimited plan and one having 2g. The only thing I'm worried about is coverage way up here in north dakota
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
Lost all data connection (still connects to VzW but no data) on Omni 1-5. Tried reboot, in and out of airplane mode, no luck. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Never mind. If I tap the wireless connection in the quick settings, the data comes up. So much that is new in 4.4.x.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
new build up :)

OmniMetal-01/11-toro

You do still need to flash supersu to have root though (I am working on it)

New features include-

Omni switched OpenGL version to the same CM uses so perhaps even more graphics stabilty

More compiler optimizations

fixed missing shading of statusbar circle battery and network traffic

recents circle memory indicator fixes

Flip to Mute/Reject Call (Dialer settings)

add Location Flip Tile (you can choose between OFF, DEVICE ONLY, BATTERY, and HIGH ACCURACY)

add QuietHour Tile

Option to enable Notification Light when screen is on (under display settings)

Add NFC polling setting

Double tap statusbar to sleep

Add an option to change the device hostname (developer settings)

Multi-window (still has bugs, but since it mostly works I added it to the regular build)

UI updates to match more colors to kitkat colors

Change volume panel style settings added

Various bug fixes

ASKP kernel now comes with most of my default settings- my color settings except gamma adjustment (set this to 6 for my full color settings), temp limit raised to 75, and vibration setting set to 75

Changed the default fast charge to a version which allows AC type voltage but still allows to connect as USB

Added option to use the old version of fast charge (enter echo 2 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge to enable)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
Awesome so far - thank you Metal. One thing I've noticed on all Omni builds is that when I get a message in active display, if I try to swipe to the app from where the message came (Hangouts, Gmail) the phone will go to the app for a moment and then the screen will go black. Same if I try to unlock. Once I'm in the app from the active display notification, I lose my nav bar. Bringing up the power menu via the power button restores the nag bar. Is this just an active display glitch?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Probably, I dont really use it but I know it has some issues

They are moving towards just removing it and replacing it with lockscreen notifications by PA (works similarly, but different UI and less bugs)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
MWisBest said that active display is a real mess right now and from what I looked into it looks like it needs a major clean up and parts of the codes need to be rewritten.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I have briefly tested the cherry picks to remove active display and replace it with the lockscreen notifications and it seemed to work fine in my short testing, but it seems to have a few UI issues to be ironed out

Btw, I am thinking of doing a test build later today, trying to see if I can get link time optimization working and I might throw in even more cherry-picks for more features, including the ones to remove active display and replace it with lockscreen notifications

I'd say it would be available sometime tomorrow if things all go well, between cherry picking, fixing build errors and actual build time (4 hours for a clean build lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
Sweet. Some of us have been using Cover Lockscreen from the Play Store as a substitute over active display. It allows you to peek into the text, gmail, call, and other apps.

Other thing I liked is immersive mode but, like the trigger space of PIE, it becomes annoying trying to swipe up a bunch of times till you hit the right spot. Swiping down seems to have a better hit than up.

Edit: found immersive mode. Somehow missed it the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
Lock screen notifications are way better than active display right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I'm pretty sure PIE is dead lol, I doubt most major roms will ever bring it back, I dont think even PA will bring it back

Its basically been replaced by immersive mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 20phileagles:
First time running Omni

Thanks for the ROM, Not sure why all my folders are empty when I try to access them on my computer. Im sure Im overlooking a simple setting ...I just cant remember how to do it,

Thanks guys

I'm gonna dirty flash over the 1/5 build. Do I need to flash GAPPS again? I've only done clean installs with Omni
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churche0:
Hey,

I've been using cMetal from the beginning, but recently wanted to try OmniMetal. Literally, the best ROM I've ever used - completely made my old Nexus feel new. Thanks for that and all the hard work.

I tried OmniMetal 1/05 and now 1/11, but with both versions they're telling me some apps from PlayStore are not compatible. Most specifically, WhatsApp says it and I'm unable to download it. It says this on both Dalvik and ART. I like Omni better, but can't use it since I frequently keep in touch with people via WhatsApp. It works fine on the latest cMetal so I don't understand the issue. Can anyone offer me a solution? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I have no idea why it says incompatible, but you could try just downloading the app on a rom that allows you to install it, copy the apk from /data/app to the sdcard, then just install it from that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
I don't use WhatsApp but I can confirm same issue also.

This would typically be resolved by changing LCD density back to 320 but in this case it is on 320.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churche0:
Thanks for the great roms. I did just install from the apk, completely forgot about that. Thanks.

Thanks. Well, now I know it's not just me. Way above my head in terms of what it might be. I just know cMetal works fine, OmniMetal doesn't let me install it from PlayStore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cujo6801:
I'm really liking your latest build..

Phone would run hot on your last few builds...

This one as well..

But since I started using Fancy's latest kernel it been running smooth and cool..

Thank for all the work you put in...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
It runs a bit hot to begin with, especially while charging after or during flashing, but it eventually settles down and everything runs like normal. You just have to let it run its course and let it settle down for a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Has multi window surfaced yet? Just curious, I've been using cyanogen mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pitchdarkice:
it's there in the regular 1/11 build. But I've noticed that I am able to scroll and view the top window, but the lower window remains frozen. metal has said he's added it in the build, but still buggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Bottom window works for me...

It probably depends on the app though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calebv2:
Bottom and top both work for me as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
What I have noticed is that only one window works with the back button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
You need to tap on the window you want to be active in order to have the back (and anything else) work for that window
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
Oh OK that makes sense! Thanks metal loving the Rom great job keep up the awesome work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I think I'll switch from CyanogenMod to this when I get home!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HTCF4N:
Switched to this after issues with 4G and Bluetooth after using CM for ages. Let me just say that this ROM flies, no random reboot as of yet, running ART, the active display seems to work just fine for me, and the multiwindow is definitely exciting. Thanks Metalsprings for compiling and maintaining such an excellent omni build! You rock!! ???

Hey [MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION] I recently dl the phone apk from the n5 with google places baked right in and I was wondering if you could maybe look into cherry picking it over to your next omni build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAYOUREBEL:
Just upgraded to new build have a question

so far it is working great, fast and really smooth.

I have a question, when I started it up some of my apps said no longer installed and had the droid icon on them. I am not sure what they were cause I cant remember lol im getting old just turned 40 and im hacking my phone :) . Is there any apps that was removed from this build ?

I just wiped cache and dalvik and loaded newest build 1-11-14 , gapps, superuser and superram kernel and rebooted and had about three missing apps. Also had one item in play store say not compatible with my version or whatever.

Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I just made the switch... How do I change the toggle size? Also, multi window is working great! What kernel works for better battery/performance, or should I try mpo1080? Will it give me issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siouxhockey11:
I'm using mpo1080 and have had no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I've tried MPOkang, I think I honestly prefer ASKP. I might Change, but I don't know. Also, is there a way to use all the tiles but keep them at normal size?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
sorry for the noob question, but does anyone know where to find the option for "allow purging of assets" in the latest version of omni? Also, how do you enable / use multi-view? I can't find it anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluerez79:
Multi window....long press apps in recent apps window
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
Ah, thank you! I was looking for an option somewhere to turn it on in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Excellent Battery and performance using ASKP. Only gripe is not being able to keep the size of the toggles, and I can't find out how to increase the vibration intensity for haptic feedback... It's much stronger on Cyanogenmod than on Omni.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Trickster mod app, vibrator strength
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
I know that trickstermod has a vibration intensity setting. Give that a try perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I already gave that a go, it doesn't change anything. Apparently the setting is already Maxed out. Any way to keep the size of the tiles, or will I just have to adapt?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] know8677:
I don't think that is the button that the poster is asking about. I think the question is about enabling the back button to kill the current app, not a button in the Recents view that kills all apps.

I've been wanting that button as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churche0:
Is there a quick tile for Wireless AP? I had one on cMetal, but can't find it on Omni. I use it all the time since my phone is also my internet connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
Did anybody ever figure out the play store compatibility issues? Are they also an issue with stock Omni? This is definitely one of my favorite roms but hunting down legit apks is a bit of a bugger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricola1989:
The Wi-Fi tile is swipeable. From there you can turn tether on/off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churche0:
Awesome, thanks a lot for that tip.

omnirom comes with apps permissions, it looks like it's working but I just wanted to verify. Apps Permissions functions without root correct?
