[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Metalspring, any way you can put in CM or Slims quick settings toggles? Omni's toggles are confusing. I don't know how to add a button or rearrange them. Heck, even if you went with AOKP toggles it would be better than what's on there now. Otherwise, I'm happy I found a ROM where active display actually works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I second this, its a bit of a pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
I must be the only one that likes them. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I like the spinning, but I don't like that they auto resize. It's a pain in the arse sometimes, and I'm missing toggles like camera... Plus my OCD does not approve of the one extra icon that wont completely fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
To each his own, I just think it was a poorly implemented idea. It doesn't allow you to do much in an environment that is supposed to be about customization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
The camera world one and now it says it can't connect to the camera.

I prefer to use cMetal over OmniMetal but I like the non-intrusive call dialog in OmniMetal's dialer. Was just wondering would I be able to replace the Dialer.apk with the one from Omni and have that feature without causing problems? Or would additional steps be required?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otter34:
I'd like to have the ability to configure the soft keys. Any plans for that? Long press to kill. In a jb rom I also had the home and recents button programmed where long press would open eBay and call my gf respectively for example.

This ROM is much faster and smoother than 3 others I've tried. I look forward to when it becomes more customizable and I can use it as my daily ROM.

What is it clocked at by default? It's soooo much faster that I assume it's over clocked? I'm not using art
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churche0:
I definitely agree, but I can't really complain either way. I like CM toggles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohurvitz:
Any idea if theming is in the near future? I flashed and liked but without a dark theme I just can't stay.

Went back to cmetal for now.

BTW I did try Xtheme but could not find a theme that worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I didn't really notice the difference, didn't notice a lack of theming. It should be a simple cherry pick, but I'm no developer. Also, touch control is a nice app, give you a nice"knock on" feature with double tapping the screen, and then double tapping the status bar turns it off. Multi window works great, too. I'd like to see halo, maybe. The best features from all Roms will make this ROM king.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MBQ_:
Holo light >>>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Other than the white, yeah. Also, I noticed a minor pain... The navbar buttons are randomly like the Lockscreen. Other than the themes, toggles, and this, the ROM is near perfect. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricola1989:
Which kernel do I use for the touch control app? Every time I try a different kernel and loading the module, it either fails or crashes when trying to use it.

Are you using ActiveDisplay? This seems to be a known bug when you unlock with it. I had this problem and turned it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Yeah, it's with active display. I just use the sleep toggle and keep it off for a few seconds, then it's fixed. Great ROM though, haven't had this good of battery life for a while. I think I'm going to build cyanogenmod, then I'll play with adding Linaro and slimming it down. I finally got Ubuntu installed, so let the fun begin!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricola1989:
I actually had it load the patched stock kernel, and then switched back to mpokang v10 sRAM without wiping cache/dalvik. Loaded the module : profit:

Thanks for the input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
That's what I did!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
I just came to say that thanks for you great work metal. I just switched to t-mobile from vzw and got the note 3! So goodbye nexus family! It was great for those 2 1/2 years haha. It would be awesome to see metal support the note 3 but idk if you ever will be. Thanks for your awesome ROM :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBoss24K:
Hi there. Just wanted to stop in and give thanks for this awesome ROM. I've been on 12-19 cMetal w/ SuperRam and couldn't be happier. It's the best ROM kernel combo I've ever used on my phone and I honestly don't see myself moving away from it any time soon. The only noticeable bug I've run into is Snapchat losing connection with the camera and then rendering the camera unusable until reboot (associated with SuperRam and the video playback issue). Tbh, my girlfriend is the one who uses Snapchat (on my phone because she hasn't yet made the transition into the 21st century) and ends up breaking it 95% of the time.

But seriously, I love this ROM. My 2 year old phone may as well be new, and quite frankly that's why I'm waiting on getting a new phone. I find it hard to believe that there's another phone out there that would function at a noticeably different level. I also enjoy showing my friends the latest Android goodies on a phone that's usually a year to a year and a half older than their phones. I'm going to run this phone into the ground before I buy anything new.

Thanks for all the hard work! Devs like you have really made the purchase worthwhile. :highfive:

Why wont franco kernel work

I tried installing franco kernel and it just shows omni logo and never boots. I am on superram now but was looking for something with better battery life. I wish they would make a update for superram version that would make battery better. Good thing I had a backup :)

Do any of the android apps help save battery and if so which one is best ? Thanks

OK So I enabled ART runtime and everything seems better but I had tow problems. I could not reinstall a app 2x battery saver and rocket player music app would not work so uninstalled it. Is this normal and is there a fix I can do to get app to install or do I even need that x2 battery saver app with art. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid-Xer:
Not all apps are ART compatible. So some may not work for now. In my years of experience with Android, I've never found a single battery app that ever works. The GNex has and will always have horrible battery life unless you buy a gigantic 3000+mAh battery.

From my experience, lowering the screen brightness as low as you can tolerate is the best thing for battery. If you're in a sketchy 4G area, using only 3G will help a little as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Is there a multiboot kernel out yet? I'd like to run Omni and ubuntu touch on the side to tinker with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
GraKernel

Working for Toro devices. Ubuntu will not work with it yet. You'll have to talk to the dev about it or read the entire thread to understand all about the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboyer0000:
Had a little problem getting data after flashing but finally got it after toggling on/off a few times but it's up and running now it seems :)

Edit: Screen record doesn't seem to be working. When I tap screen record it displays 'screen is being recorded' but it disappears after a split second.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newellj79:
Is this thread for the Verizon variant of the galaxy nexus? It seems as though I may have been posting in the wrong omnimetal thread. If so, is multi windows working? I use omnibus on my nexus 10 and love it. I may be getting a Verizon gnex soon and I'm trying to find a solid fast build of omnibus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboyer0000:
Yes, this thread is for Verizon gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newellj79:
Awesome. Thank you my friend. Hopefully I'll be seeing you guys here soon!

By the by... I'm starting to have wifi issues. The phone won't connect to known wifi networks in range, it just stays on 3g/4g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
new build uploading now

Screen record not fixed yet though (I am working on it)

Also long press back to kill app was added in options but also doesnt seem to work (hopefully fixed soon)

Edit- direct link to new build

OmniMetal-toro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
Anything new we can look forward to in this new build or mostly bug fixing/optimising build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Found you have a duplicate option -> settings-> bars-> quick launch shortcuts (2)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Theres a few little new things, so if you arent sure just do a backup and give the new build a try

I noticed but didnt list it as an issue since its cosmetic, both shortcuts seem to work

I'm thinking of going back to complete stock omni, then re-add everything in and get rid of useless stuff, I'm thinking a few things got messed up when I merged my changes in source to new commits in the official omni source

Btw, if anyone knows java or C++ (Java knowledge is preferred though) or knows any devs that would want to help out that would be great, it would help keep everything bug free, faster, more stable and faster updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Metalspring, thanks for your respond. I agreed with your approach, staring clean. I suggest that if you can cherry pick from LiquidSmooth rom, they have all the top features (probably the best quality features to date). Some of the stuff I like from LS rom:

1)data/time full format (like clock/date/time display left/center/right Sun Jan 22 7:05am on notification)

2)Option for dock (up to 5) - kill app option and turn off screen - very nice being able to kill after finished and turn off screen without using power button.

3) Up to 8 lockscreen shortcuts (we have 5)

4) fully customize (add/delete/reorder) quick pull down draw.

5)They're going to implement split screen like in settings, the left is the options, and what ever you select from the left, the right will display the details.

6) OTA update?? (pushing my luck here).

Those are just suggestion, don't sweat on it. You have done a great job on this rom, greatly appreciated and have a nice day. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboyer0000:
Do you have a github already setup?

EDIT: NVM i found it https://github.com/metalspring
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
Thanks for all your hard work. Any chance of getting lock screen notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
It's not as easy as it might seem to pull in features from other roms, however-

1) omni is also working on the date/time (there is at least 1 commit in gerrit for those options)

2) I think other roms will slowly add back the navbar customization similar to what aokp had in 4.3, plus omni has the extra option to enable double tapping the status bar to go to sleep

3) the 8 lockscreen options have always been much bigger memory hogs than the 5 option ones

4) if you mean the quick settings omni already has it and is adding even cooler things into it (like the flip tiles, plus other quick setting options)

5) Split settings is interesting but that's actually more of an AOSPA (Paranoid Android) feature I believe lol. If I get anyone that knows java to help out, I'll definitely look into it

6) I might try using goo.im for updates at some point or maybe even see if I could get opendelta to work but idk yet, I'll have to see how feasible each option is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
After fussing w Mediafire finally downloaded and running smooth as silk. Thanks, Metal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
Any news about incompatible apps in this new build? That's kind of a deal breaker for me and no one answered me last time. I suppose I'll just flash it and see, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Give it a try, I changed the build fingerprint to match what cm had (basically setting it to the last official OTA update from VZW)... this may help with app incompatibility

https://github.com/metalspring/andr...mmit/f876166e629e76d56e3f9dee5b49718a868ca4d9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
Nope, at least the apps I'm looking at still say they're incompatible. Oh well. I still swear your builds are the fastest KK roms around. Good stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
which apps? I do have one more thing I wanted to add in that might help with some app incompatibility but it *should* only effect vzw apps, but who knows lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schnob:
Umm..Textra (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra) is the only one I've checked so far. If I restore them from a backup they work, but then I obviously don't get any updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
What app, I can test it out for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
Here's another example of another app not compatible in the Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.evolve_sms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KungPaoZhuZhu:
My Starbucks, HondaLink, and Aha Radio apps on my end "incompatible" this build other that good build https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aha.android.app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.honda.hondalink https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starbucks.mobilecard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Agreed with everyone, we do have issue with this latest version. I have a few apps after downloading, it failed (hang) trying to install, I have to pull battery. Bunch of apps are not recognize the phone (not compatible with your device error message). Also hang while coping large files from one folder to another....I would think maybe some gihub merging problem here??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
For 5, split settings is a size setting thing. The settings app comes in multiple sizes for phones and tablets, and the tablet size is the split one. Paranoid Android is doing it by using their hybrid engine to set the app size. Others probably do it by only compiling the tablet size or replacing the phone size profile with the tablet code. To be honest, it looks neat but doesn't really change or improve functionality.

Thanks for keeping the galaxy nexus alive with your awesome builds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
Haven't had any issues on the latest build. Battery seems a little better and wifi is definitely working better. The only issue I've experienced is incompatibility SMS app in the Play Store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
The main advantage is saving time, like Windows explorer where you have folder listing on the left and file listing on the right. Ex, On the left you select the feature and on the right you change the feature settings on the fly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turd Furguson:
Finding several apps in the app store that aren't compatible with the phone even though I have used them before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
apparently changing back to the lastest official build fingerprint did more harm than good :(

Oh well its an easy revert

And I am working on getting official nightlies going for toro, and toroplus. Maguro already had one but it wasnt quite set up right yet (stuck at google logo) and omni is currently fixing it now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Btw, there should be a few little testing changes for the next build

First, I think I'm going to switch to DirtyV kernel

Secondly the kernel will be compiled with linaro 4.7.4 toolchain (instead of sabermod 4.8)

And also as a test I'm going to do 3 builds for toro, one where the rom is compiled with linaro 4.8, one where the rom is compiled with sabermod 4.8 and one that is built with the 4.8 codefirex toolchain to see which performs best

And lastly it will be a stock-ish omni build (reverting nearly all of the extra commits I added)

If you have any features from previous builds you want please say so (listview options are going to be included since I personally really like them lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
Sorry if this was already mentioned but just trying to help. If the DPI isn't at 320, tty that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
What would be the difference in this new build?

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I'm sorry, I meant to clarify what commits would be removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
its tough to say all the commits that will be removed but the features that my builds have that omni doesnt have yet are-

navbar customization (this is one I'd add back anyway since its a popular feature)

navbar height/width (this is one I'd add back anyway since its a popular feature)

All in One Animation Control (I'd add back since I like this feature)

Configurable rotation (https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/4526/)

Toggle lock screen camera widget

Driving Mode options

NFC polling setting

Add an option to change the device hostname

Double tap to sleep

Option to enable Notification Light when screen is on

multi window
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Ahh, not double tap to sleep! My nexus is like a g2 with knock on now! I use touch control, it's nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
I never can get the double tap sleep to work,,,,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
I would love to see lock screen notifications :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abezzilla99:
Ya I seen someone mention lockscreen notifications a few pages back. What exactly is it? I know someone said it can replace the active display but is it like on the iphone where your notifications are listed on the lockscreen? Also how would this interfere with dashclock? I tried googling but didn't come up with much since it is such a vague phrase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
You will see a list of notifications on the lockscreen, swipe to the left will expand the notification and swipe to the left one more time will dismiss the notification. You also see your clock/time on the lock screen. You also can configure shorcuts to the apps on lockscreen. By holding down the lock you will have bunch of options where you can swipe to it and open the app directly from the lock screen. In my onion I like the lockscreen more than Active Displays. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
That's pretty much it. Best way to see notifications on the lock screen in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
...well at least I found out it probably wasnt something I did to break screen recording... go figure lol

I wondered since the core code of screen recording is C++ which I rarely make any changes to (most changes are in java coding, since thats what most features are written in)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
I like active display. Only problem is the swipe to view notifications doesn't work and it messes with the nav bar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
Active display is buggy and eats battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
It's fairly easy to build a linaro/sabermod optimized cm, just check IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo's android_build repo on github to find where he has his neofy script (not quite as good as MWisbest's commits but good enough), add in 2 commits I got from vanir (I can link someone to those if they want) and viola, you're basically building cMetal... Or, if someone wanted to optimize it exactly the way I did, I could easily help out with that (hint, hint)

I just dont have time to do cMetal builds for all 3 gnex variants, plus omnimetal builds for all 3 gnex variants as well (considering each clean build takes about 4 hours lol)

Omni is slowly working on it, but switching to lockscreen notifications is impractical as they are still improving active display for awhile and lockscreen notifications requires active display to be removed

Btw, last call for any features anyone wanted included that was in previous builds as I'm doing cherry picks now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] culaponk:
I'm so loved omnimetal, but i never get data workin from first until latest build, any clue for mw problem?

Until now still using cm metal.

Thx for advice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
Liquid, validus and a few others have both.

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

After first boot, reboot before you do anything. After second boot data will work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Maybe they do, but Omni's commits appear to require removing active display

I can try to add it in anyway at some point and see if it works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Btw, new cleaned up build compiling now

Major changes besides all the removed commits (too many to really name lol) is switching to DirtyV-SR kernel, and building the kernel with linaro 4.7.4 toolchain

The build compiling now has the rom built with linaro 4.8 as usual, but as soon as that is done then I will try a build where the rom is built with sabermod 4.8, then another with codefirex 4.8 toolchain just to see which performs better without any extra issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
On the last two builds I've noticed I can't launch Google Now by swiping up from the home button. It launches search but touch doesn't work for anything. I have to turn the screen off and turn it back on get touch to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Issues like that are exactly why I'm cleaning everything up :)

I have basically no knowledge of java or C/C++ so I'm sure there are things I didn't modify correctly to work with everything else I had, plus the merges with updates to omni's source were particularly difficult so again, mistakes are likely lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
I really didn't have any other issues or freeze ups. Thanks, looking forward to the clean builds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
I found that if you replace it by going into applications and choosing Google search, it works like it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creaky:
Well, I like the toggle lock screen camera widget - except that it's finicky. Hard to get it to take me straight to the camera app. Or maybe I'm just physically challenged!

Thanks, again, metal, for these great builds.

Great news can't wait to see that build!....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboyer0000:
Is there a way to have the notification pulldown show the notifications by default instead of quick settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furiyk:
I hope I'm not too late, but if you could keep the notification light when screen is on. That's been one of my favorite features ever, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Unfortunately no builds today :(

Omni's recent changes to get nightlies for maguro killed my builds (proprietary files werent being added properly so it wouldnt boot)

However, I made the changes needed to get official nightlies going for toro going soon (and my builds should also work now too)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Omni Semi-official build done now

only changes I made from what the official builds will have is its built with linaro and -O3 optimizations and includes DirtyV-SR kernel built with linaro 4.7

Know bugs-

Screen record still doesnt work (no idea whats going on there unfortunately)

when using interactive governor with included kernel it may take a couple tries to wake the phone (bsmitty is working on fixing it)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szale9001:
Hey metal, were you planning on keeping up these semi-official builds in the near future? Just curious because I was holding out for official nightlies and I'm not sure those will be materializing that soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Lol, that was the point of the Semi-official build- to make sure everything worked properly so I could get omni to merge everything needed for toro and toroplus nightlies
