Omni is clean. Been on the latest and it's been good to me minus a weird glitch I had this morning. I had plugged in my phone and it said it was charging but it was stuck on 0%. Once I unplugged it the phone turned off. I turned it back on and battery was at 90%

The torch app on Omni isn't as good since you can't toggle it from Quick launch. ActiveDisplay makes your navigation buttons and status bar disappear (Hold power button to bring them back to life. Back to reality).

I think imma try Cabron ROM. Orale.

UPDATE:

Carbon doesn't have a lot of customizations so that's out. Vanir has WiFi problems so that's out. Omni FTW.

Happy holidays yall!

i see. so, to be clear, are you all using the latest cmetal 12-19 build linked in the op here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/g097cs8t81bjz/cMetal-11-Linaro-toro ? also, what android version is cmetal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
Do I need to flash SuperSU with 12/19 Cmetal?

Which gapps are recommend for that ROM?

Thanks.

Cm METAL is 4.4.2 and it is smokin hot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prbadboy69:
What customizations cm metal has?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
What are the pros/cons between cmetal and omimental? and why one is preferred over the other? be specific please... Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
The best answer for pros and cons you'll get is trying both out yourself. I typically don't rely on what someone says because their opinion might be very different than mine due to the way we all use our phones differently.

One build might suck based on your opinion of it but I or someone else might say its the best build yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prbadboy69:
I haven't had any issues on the carbon one. May try the vanir. But will these be updated on regular basis? Or just figuring out what do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Txwolf1980:
I would try the vanir, before you decide on any particular rom. As one other user said, you're just a backup away, if you don't like it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elliot2112:
What Vanir do you like more? Official or Cmetals? Anyone else compare the two?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
I agree with theswagger . I have noticed the linaro builds of pretty much any rom run well on my phone. That said the cMetal builds are very smooth and fast. I think a lot of this is inherent to 4.4 but also from metalspring's attention to detail. ART is very fast and smooth for a couple of days and then send to slow down. Dalvik is much better than any 4.3 rom, even vanir etc. Add in the Mpokang super ram kernel with Nephilm settings are you'll be cooking. Of course all phones are different so you'll need to try them.

That said I have tried most if not all 4.4 roms and cMetal is the best on my phone.

Try it and see what happens.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
I thought the same thing. 12-19 cMetal is as good as 12-07 if not better on my phone! I think better!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
I agreed with "try out and see it for youself", but this is what I'm looking for...People who tried and what/why they liked which rom!! Once I find most of experience users like the rom then I will try that first...Currently I'm using Omnimetal the lastest build (12-23) and no issue at all, but I do had issue with the previous version (phone locked up couple times with dialer and switching between wifi and 4g). Sound like cmetal is pretty good, will give it a shot. Thanks endomatic and cujo6801 for your opinion.. BTW, endomtic, in your opinion, why you like cmetal the best? faster/smoother and more features??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
Faster, smoother and the features I like, not necessarily more. This is the most stable my phone has been and the fastest. Try it with Mpokang super ram with nephilms settings. You won't be disappointed.

?Turnt Up-KK Metal with THE best Audio Improvement Patch out there&#8596 [MENTION=1627931]misle[/MENTION]dz Xlouder?

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

OK I'm gonna give this question a shot.

At one point, the audio Improvement patch by [MENTION=1627931]misle[/MENTION]zd, which imho is a must for our gnex, did work with linaro based ROMs. I know that for a fact. The. All of sudden, withing the last week or two, it did not.

My question is does anyone know which is the very latest versions of any of Metals ROMs that worked with this mod, along with none of the YouTube playback issues.

(The vanir build that he uploaded won't work because no art)

Between MwIstheBest and Metal there has been some builds which have run great on my phone, but it seems either I can't get the audio mode flashed bec of recent linaro or I get the YouTube problem

I have found some 4.4.2 ROMs where the mod flashes and no yt issues, like Liquid as one example, but they just don't run as well something from these 2 guys.

I would be cool with the Vanir build because both these things are good, BUT no Art, and imo, art is clear over davlik, I won't run davlik anymore.

Would appreciate any feedback

And [MENTION=4763201]mbq[/MENTION] if you're reading this, for some reason I think you can shed some light on this.

Thank you all

Made the jump to 4.4 this morning and just wanted to say thanks for OmniMetal. Got one system fc but since then no problems. The work on this ROM is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unzitron:
Perhaps what he meant is, "will it still get updates?"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeygutz:
That's exactly what I meant, metalspring knows I'm not rushing him in no sense , love his roms, and have shown him my thanks in the past, was just wondering if he would be updating the cmetal rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gohamstergo:
So, running cMetal and com.android.keyguard is constantly using 3-4% of CPU. Any idea why? Sitting at home screen, overall cpu stays at 12-17% too (static wallpaper). never settles. wtf

Trying to diagnose why I only get 6 hours of screen-off, data-off battery life with mpokang and nephilims settings when he and others get 11+hours somehow. :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] midnightdevil66:
If you read op it states that weekly will be released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
No builds until probably January because of the holidays, but as far as I've seen CyanogenMod hasn't been adding much of anything new lately so really an update would just add a newer build date with basically all the same features

As for carbon and vanir I'll probably throw builds of those out whenever they add more stuff in and I have time (I also might have found a way to get ART to work on vanir)

And for omni rom, there might be official nightlies coming before too long as well and I'm still trying to figure out the reboot issues (if anyone has these please try to get a logcat of the reboots with opengl traces set to logcat in developer settings so I might be able to get a better idea of what exactly is going on)

And lastly, for the nexus louder mod, has anyone tried it on the vanir or carbon builds? That might also help me figure out what is causing it not to work

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
This thread is getting confusing with four ROMs in it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBoss24K:
Couldn't agree more. cMetal is easily my favorite pick since 4.4 came out and I've been using it since the first build, despite some of the bugs in its infancy. As others have said, the 12-7 and 12-19 builds were both excellent (pretty much flawless) and I can't push myself away from the Super Ram kernel despite the occasional issues with video playback - the overall speed is definitely more important for me and it does this without crushing my battery. I've tried Nephilms settings and my phone runs like a boss for about 5 minutes but then freezes on me and reverts to prior settings. Not sure why I have this issue (likely something to do with the voltage settings and the extended battery I'm using), but that sort of tweaking will definitely have varying results from phone to phone.

I've been anxious to try OmniMetal for the sake of trying it, but I'm not sure it's in the same league as cMetal when it comes to performance. If there's anyone here who's used both and would care to offer up a comparison that would be awesome :D

Thanks!

worlds first ROM orgy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeygutz:
Stick to cmetal while omni is a great ROM, cmetal seems to be more stable at least to me, With cmetal i don't get the WiFi dropping and not reconnecting as i do with omni!.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbr05ki:
Agree with [MENTION=3681686]joeygutz[/MENTION]. I had a couple of reboots just today. While Omni is nice, the OG cMetal ROM has some good customization features. May go back to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Tried all 4 roms and here my thoughts...

First, if you don't have issue with Omnimetal (like reboot, wifi, 4g, freeze etc...) then it's the first choice. Here is why, in my case, I'm running the latest (12-23) Omnimetal with mpokang super ram kernel and no issue since the rom released. It currently the main support rom from metalsrping, it has the most features that I like. I'm running with ART enabled and the latest PAapp 12-15 and no issue. I installed Go launcher EX with all animation turn off and it's as fast or even faster than cmetal rom. The one thing I want is the batter text display and none have it. Basically the icon with battery% display inside the icon is super small that I don't think anyone can read it. The second feature is data format and time with PM/AM on status bar is missing in Omnimetal (Vanir rom has this feature). Below are some short info on what I think about the other 3 roms:

1. Cmetal - fastest and smooth (yes, noticeable). Found the data/time display not working on status bar. The rest of the features are similar to Vanir/Carbon.

2. Vanir/Carbon, both almost identical, Vanir has a few more features, but depends on what you're looking for you can pick one or the other. Personally, I didn't find any features that standout from Omnimetal or Cmetal.

In sumarry, all 4 are pretty much the same as far as features, only cmetal has a performance advantage out of the box, but with a little mod with Omnimetal (assumed that you have no issue with Omnimetal). Ominmetal is my first choice and Cmetal would be second. Again, this review is my own opinion and don't forget to update your GAPPs.(the latest for PAgapp is 12-15-2013).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] midnightdevil66:
I'm rocking cmetal 12/19 and it's hauling. I had an issue with the pa gapps the swipe on the asop keyboard did not work. I flashed the banks gapps and it's all good.

date/time not working on Omnimetal.

I found display data/time with am/pm on status bar is not working with Omnimetal, but worked fine with Vanir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meltdown03:
I get audio cutouts when listening to Google Play Music and the screen goes off. I use the Viper4Android mod and sometimes it even turns off so i use the Force mode. I'm on cMetal 12/19.

I second this however, as far as features go i have all that i need and then some after installing Xposed with gravitybox.

A few things dont work im assuming due to linaro? But they work on my brother in laws gnex with same setup, so as with all things results will vary. But Xposed for me is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
This is what I have come to use all the time as well. Xposed and gravity box will be going onto all future ROMs for me if I need customization

I'm having weird issues with the dialer and Hangouts. I'm on the latest Vanir/mpokang super ram/Clean Install

My contacts don't come up on texts so I only get the phone number, the call log is empty no matter how many calls I get or make, and I can't dial from my contacts. I can start to dial someone's number and their name will come up but I can't touch the contact to call. I have to dial the whole number manually.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
I agreed with you 100%!!! Gravity/Xposed + cmetal = fastest, smoothest, most features!

I just wondering why cmetal is super fast and smooth, most of the work probably from the kernel which is ASKP, I will extract the kernel from the cmetal package and flash it to Omnimetal see if performance is increase on Omnimetal...will see...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Noooo. I know Metalspring was mad thorough with ensuring quality and speed on his ROM, and while kernels are the primary factor of whether or not the ROM performs, the enhancements in the ROM, or in a given ROM, goes hand-in-hand with the overall fluidity this ROM provides.

tl;dr: Give metalspring some cred :)

I don't know if you mentioned it here or elsewhere or if anyone asked you but did you try another device to pair up with your Ford? If it pairs up then it rules out a problem with the Ford. The problem will be your phone.

Yes I have before, and there was only slight improvement when running dalvik in benchmark scores (about 50 points higher in antutu on the dalvik score) but ART completely blows it away (about 200+ points higher in dalvik scores in antutu)

I don't feel the slight increase is worth the risk of using libs not designed for our phones

Also do not try the bionic zip, basically all custom roms already have a more optimized bionic than the zip would provide
