PC Connectivity

Art really adds a layer polish to the phones performance.

I think cm takes steps backwards in the android world by forcing baked in software on to people. IE the performance/kernel tweaker I never use and having to use superuser instead of super su...

That is excellent news! I remember there being issues when compile kernels using 4.8 toolchain for gnex. Do you know if that was ever resolved?

I somehow managed to find an issue with the 12/7 build... The phone seem unable to be detected when attached to the pc....(driver are loaded on the pc)

When i tried doing an "add device" this is what windows sees
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
They use superuser over supersu simply because it is open sourced vs supersu being closed source and the performance options are mostly for the stock cm kernel (which doesnt have many options anyway) and they do have a couple settings apps like trickster mod dont have

Kernels compile just fine with linaro 4.8 (with one small patch needed for most to be built with linaro at all), its everything after that where issues arise (not booting at all or not booting after a reboot)... hence I use sabermod 4.8 for the kernel which works just fine

Also you many need the extra app for printing in banks gapps (look under other apps not on the market)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konjiki7:
Thanks that clarifies things a bit for me.

I understand their reasoning but super su and trickster are my preference. It's kinda like getting a gift you didn't want from a relative. Your obligated to have to use it. I not to much of big deal just kicking around how i felt about cm's direction.

So the printing components needed for the PC to be able to see the phone? Is this also requirement for file transfers?(this really what I'm tying to do btw)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
when my pc doesn't recognize my phone, sometimes a quick unplug/plug does the trick. if it still doesn't see anything, i open the device manager, find the unknown device (with the warning triangle), and update the driver by manually pointing to the google USB driver from the Android SDK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus_man:
How did the build of Vanir with the webview fix go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Very poorly lol... it wouldnt work with linaro 4.7 only 4.8 which breaks ART, also power menu settings force closed and worst of all, system ui would repeatedly restart whenever plugged in via usb and for some reason they also use the crappy cm version of the navbar customization

carbon rom wouldnt even boot (probably due to outdated device sources which I tried to bring up to work with 4.4)

so omni rom it is lmao

No Quiet Hours so it is a deal breaker for me. I honestly have a hard time believing anything will run better than the 12-7 linaro with art and super ram.

Settings > Lock Screen > Enable widgets?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p34rp34r:
i'm on win 8.1 as well...but again, i do have android sdk installed so i have the google USB driver. Try plugging in the device, go to device manager and see if you have a unknown device or something (see screenshot). If you do, try updating the driver manually and choose MTP USB Device or Samsung Mobile MTP Device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] punkwhan:
That only allows you to have more than one widget per lockpage.

I'm talking about adding the regular home screen widgets to the lock screen.

Thanks.

12/7 with art is pretty boss... I'll wait happily until they get quick settings and good navbar before I flash again... You rock metalspring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
In my experience, this runs way better than the CM builds. I don't know what it is with CM these days, but it seems to me like their ROM just doesn't run well; at least not on my phone.

At any rate, thanks for your work, cmetal.

It would be a good bet being the source is so different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
The banks gapps suggested in op for art point to a file named genie widget. Thought maybe it was just named that and it was gapps with genie widget included, so I tried to DL it and it definitely is only genie widget. Can someone chime in on this?

Thank you X 1000 Excited to DL this!

4.4.2 gapps for Omni?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
yup, it is a 4.4.2 build and the new links are in the op
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wishka233:
Starting with the December builds of CMetal, I began to experience data drops when my phone switched between 4G/3G/1X. Specifically, the phone would connect with the google servers when booted up but as soon as it had to switch between one of the network modes it would lose data service completely. I have tried the following:

1) Toggling airplane mode

2) Turning data on/off

3) Going into the service menu (*#*#3446#*#*) and ensuring network mode was set to GSM/CDMA (prl)

4) Changing the network mode in the service menu to CDMA only so I could just stay on 3G (works until the phone switches to 1x then it never regains data on 3G)

5) Obtained a new sim card from Verizion

6) Clean wipe and re-install of 12/7 cMetal

7) Clean wipe and install of OmniMetal 12/13

In each case, I lose my data connection once that hand-off occurs between networks. The part that is really driving me crazy is that I did not have this issue with prior builds. I know its a known issue with 4.4 (and 4.3 to a certain extent) and there is a bug with changing network modes from the settings but it doesn't seem like every user experiences the data drops. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unzitron:
I've downloaded the OmniMetal ROM and gapps. Before I install, anyone experiencing any big bugs?

Sent from my Kit Kat Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Nope, none that I found anyway... I'm assuming bluetooth has the same bugs as other 4.4 builds though

Oh and one little thing is try not to use the phasebeam live wallpaper, omni was missing a commit that helped keep it from lagging on the gnex (its not set as default for that exact reason)

[MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION], which ASKP kernel are you using in Omni?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
Hey Metal,

How hard would it be to cherry pick "quiet hours"?

Or is it in already?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abezzilla99:
Couple questions before I make the switch to OmniMetal. Is there not gonna be anymore CMetal builds? and also what is -O3 optimizations exactly, I know they improve performance so if they will be added back in shortly I can wait. Oh and also is there anywhere I can see all of omni features? Thanks [MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION] for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I pull right from askp source so the one in the omni build is whatever the latest he has is

I did look for it but couldnt find anything specific for it, also it might not be easy to add unless omni adds it themselves (its hard taking features from one rom to another)

There will be one cMetal build about once a week since I know some like cyanogenmod

And -O3 is a flag for the toolchain and is actually just a shortcut because what it really does is turn on all kinds of other flags for the toolchain, all of which try to optimize the source code as much as possible (-O stands for optimize, and the numbers stand for level, -O3 is the highest level)

If you're really curious, read up a little on this-

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options

And as far as features, there are too many to list but it has most of the same ones cm does, plus built in screen recording (press volume up and power to start), download speed in status bar, a much cooler torch app than cm, stereo widener effect in dsp manager, list view animations (these are actually pretty awesome lol), and more I cant remember off the top of my head :P

Metal

1st impression on OmniMetal release 1

EXCELLENT

amazing job, AS USUAL LOL

I have 1 little issue to report tho.

Its not the biggest deal but it def happens in this ROM only, no others and I try a lot lol

Its regarding WiFi. For some reason it is significantly weaker. I'm in the safe spot I always am in my house when trying ROMs. I'll get 1 bar, sometimes going down to no bars, disconnecting,reconnecting, then back to 1, its consistent. Like I said I could tell right away that it was much different but to be sure I opened up WiFi analyzer, and its fluctuates it between 15-25 dbm less than normal with all other ROMs. Tbh, this had been the only ROM that's behaved this way with the weaker WiFi/disconnects that I can remember.

I'm on the latest radios, same ones I've always had when WiFi was fine.

This is on stock everything. No mods. I will try a few diff kernels, but I can't remember if kernels affect this or not.

Metal, Is there something diff in Omni that isn't in all the others, that could cause this behavior. Bec this is the first time I've ever tried any omni ROM. And could there be a possible fix?

Thank u tons buddy.

I think I didn't mention enough that this is a work in progress under heavy work

Quick settings is also a work in progress as they make it compatible with their source (they are porting it from cm 11)

Navbar customization needs a major rebase because one of the commits for it right now has conflicts everywhere lol

Now that I have github working I may try to get it added in though

Also have to figure out why data on toroplus is broked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
Do you mean you experienced it running the rom yourself? Or did you mean you just noticed my post about it.

Been running about at 1hr, Initially, I did think it was going to be a real issue as a did, but the longer I'm running it, the more and more it will disconnect/ reconnect. I'm my current situation, I have to run WiFi when I'm home. So unfortunately, I have to uninstall for now. I will however, be lurking from a distance in hopes its fixable.

Hope to be back here asap. To others who's wifi isn't as important, it a super impressive first release.

Ty!!

I've experienced it myself unfortunately...hopefully we can figure out what is wrong lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
For future reference....I'm trying to stick with ART for a while to see how it goes. A couple questions:

1. When an update is released, is it safe to flash update/gapps while ART is activated?

2. If I wanted to flash a different kernel, is it ok to keep ART active when doing so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
It should be ok to just flash updates and gapps with ART on, however you should always keep a recent backup just in case

And all but the mpokang v10 and superram kernels, all other kernels compatible with 4.4 probably use the anykernel format which is just fine on basically anything lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endomatic:
Okay I'm having wifi issues too. I did a clean install with banks gapps and on the second opening screen where it looks for wifi networks it couldn't find any. I'm where we have two networks, one secure and one not and neither would show up. I booted back into recovery, factory reset and installed again. this time it identified the networks for about 1 minute and then they were no longer available. I could skip this step and use 3g (4g sucks here at work) but I decided against that.

Going back to my 12-07 linaro nandroid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xMoment:
Since no one has asked, I'll mention that doing a dirty flash caused bootloops for me. I was running cMetal 12-07, wiped system/cache/dalvik and installed latest omni/pa-gapps/mpokang superRam kernel and all went well until boot finish. Then fcs-->rebooting. Restoring nandroid, will try clean flash later when I have time to restore apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
You should have flashed without the kernel first. That way you could have ruled out if it was the dirty flashing or the kernel that caused the bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hwolfe:
No messenger with Omni and PA Gapps?

Sorry if this is not an Omni rom issue, but I flashed this and PA Gapps (btw, no wifi issues that I can discern) and now have no messenger app. Is this normal for the PA gapps? OK to switch to Banks apps if I'm not using ART? Thanks in advance for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xMoment:
Good point. Although metal does recommend that kernel. I'll probably just do the clean flash later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Its most likely from not doing a wipe between cmetal and omni...they are different enough that it may cause issues lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
I have a few questions since I was using cmMetal

If we are not using ART we can still flash banks gapps correct? But maybe if i change my mind I probably would change to ART idk yet. I don't need all the google apps and the banks gapps is way smaller.

Also, do we need to stick with the ASKP kernel, or can we still flash Mpokang kernels?

anyone experiencing lag with the ASKP kernel?

Thanks for your work by the way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Any 4.4.2 gapps work if you don't plan on using ART

And I'm actually using mpokang superram right now on omni
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
thanks. Also, Im not having wifi issues, I'm having network signal issue. I was not getting any bars at all and my friend just called me saying she had called me 5 times but I never got the call until she called the 6th time and I answered. When I am home I use the network extender from VZW and in the toggle tiles I have an x on top of the bars, but after the call I now have 3-4 bars like its showing I have signal but the x still stays there even before the call it was there :confused: under signal I'm getting -75dBm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
The only time I really notice lag is when pulling down the notification shade. It seems to stutter a lot more than other ROMs. I flashed another kernel (one that I usually use) and I still get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
If you are using wifi, the quick toggle has an x to represent you are not using mobile data (you would be using wifi data), it doesnt have anything to do with the actual signal

However the calling issue may be related to using the network extender, I think there might be some specific commits to get the network extender to work properly, I just have to find them lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilssj4:
ahh I see, that actually has never happened when I am using wifi and the network extender, even when I was using cmMetal. I turned off wifi and now the R comes out on top which is always there when I use the network extender and I turned the wifi back on and the x is back haha, but ok good to know thanks. Oh damn, hmm even if I turn on 4G in my house the phone has really low signal and always wants to get the signal from the network extender. I am going to reflash everything again since I want to flash banks gapps instead and Mpokang_kernel-v10_1080p or SuperRam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnd12:
I am having this same problem. And when I set the radio to GSM/CDMA I can't get the phone to toggle between 3g and LTE in the mobile settings (and, yes, I know the toggle doesn't work in the quick settings : I am talking about "preferred network setting button, which never sticks when you change the setting)

Hi, Is there a Nav bar mod coming or is there one out there that I can side load for this rom? Just tried about 5 roms and this one is the smoothest and fastest and seems like the battery will last around 4.5 hrs screen on time and very stable. This is the best so far and the only thing missing is the nav bar mod. In the BeanStalk rom, I can re size the nav bar or make it full screen (eliminate the nav bar completely).

Regarding The common WiFi issue that more than a few are having, including [MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION] and myself, Im trying to understand why/what would cause this to happen.

I mean I know nothing about developing, so simply from a users stand point, I'm trying to make sense of it.

Its so crazy, to me anyway, that I can clean flash( i never EVER dirty flash ROMs and hardly ever have problems) ROM after ROM after ROM after ROM, all different kinds/different android versions dating back to who knows when , and something like WiFi is consistently good/normal behavior every single time.

And then all of sudden, a ROM like this comes along with the WiFi .

Like I said, after explaining it like i have above, I don't know nearly enough about how things like that happen and I'm very curious to know.

Simply as a user , not knowing anything at all dev wise, its hard to make any sense of it. Oh well.
