Just looking at the official toro nightly download, one of the settings that helps fix data isn't in the build.prop. So, that's why I had asked metalspring if the official's are different than his omnimetal.

Looks like the official, does not have the data fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABN85:
I'm a truck driver, so I travel more than the average person, which is probably why data problems have been so noticeable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BAYOUREBEL:
Cant download newest zip

keep getting failed network error and speed is real slow compared to what it normally is. Its saying over 1 hr to download when it normally says 5 mins or less. Do not like the new file host but rom is awesome :) Anyone else getting errors or slow downloads ?

NEVERMIND EDIT

It was my internet having problems all is good now I downloaded it in less than 3 mins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grunt9800:
Anyone have any better visibility on the app compatibility issues? Evolvesms, hello sms, and davi sms. Those are the ones I've found so far. Lcd density is 320 (build prop). Any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABN85:
Theme Chooser support coming anytime in the future for this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I'll be continuing this build lol. The official is just there as an alternative
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moody66:
I wanna know how you get these scores. I have yet to break 11k with this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audit2:
Use this ROM + Mpo-SR+Wavedashdoc Kernel Settings+Art.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Btw, here's something ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
Hadn't noticed before, that there is a 2/9 omnimetal, not just the new official omni toro.

the 2/9 omnimetal does still have the data fixes implemented, so definitely go for it if you haven't already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Btw, what would everyone think if I uploaded my custom viper4android profile to hopefully make it a little easier to get a good profile set up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audit2:
I would think highly of you. Lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cujo6801:
That would be perfect for lazy people like me.... Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MongolPup:
I don't know why anyone would complain (lol). I think a lot of users would be interested in a solid baseline because they don't have the time to really sit down and tweak it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Well here you go then lol

first make a folder on your sdcard called ViPER4Android. then make 2 folders inside of it, one named Kernel and the other named Profile

Then put this file Dolby Pro Logic II 1.irs in the Kernel folder, and put this file clear_surround.prf in the Profile folder.

Then you should be able to just set up viper4android (open, grant su permission, install driver (super audio quality is what I always choose), and reboot) change the UI mode to expert and then you can load the effect profile :)

FYI, my profile tries to go for a surround sound type sound but with a nice clear sound too lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audit2:
Thank
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MongolPup:
Downloaded then loaded.

...and metalspring if it doesn't sound like my phone grew 6 more speakers and a sub for DTS, I'm going to rant and rave!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cujo6801:
So I got the folder's all set up.

Then went to start Viper..

And I can't find it anywhere..

I'm like what the **** ...

Then I realize I'm on Vanir..

That's it no more crack in the mornings...

Question. Is this 'music' only?

Iv never was able to get a definite answer to this, plus [MENTION=4118822]Misledz[/MENTION]'s xlouder mod improves all audio and its been so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I think it works on all audio, I never tested it, but it wouldn't be hard to test
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 47th_Ronin:
I use both...

During rom flash etc. I also flash nexus louder and then after ive completed my setup of apps mods etc the very last thing i do is go to system apps with root explorer and delete awesome beats and Dolby, and then just uninstall ezio and noozy. Once ive done that i reboot and then go into viper and install driver, reboot again and then set it up the way I like it, this way I figure all bases are covered, it's still loud as hell on speaker and with headphones it's flipping amazing how good the quality is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hawk687:
I put the viper app in /priv-app so it isn't killed by the task killer, but can't get Dolby irs to work. It works when I install to /data but viper is constantly getting killed by the built in task killer. You know what to do metal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 47th_Ronin:
You can try going into performance in settings, and in memory option (I believe) go to bottom and you'll see something like non killable system apps and try putting the app name in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hawk687:
You're good... Giving this a shot. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unzitron:
Are the official builds getting delta updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teegale:
Anybody's phone not charging to 100% with the 4.4.2 Roms? The ROM itself is amazing. Just wondering if I'm the only one with this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unzitron:
Yep. Only to 99%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teegale:
Mine was maxing out at like 85%. It actually started going down after that while charging... Oddest thing. Tested two different batteries same thing. Maybe it's my charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drxikh:
anyone getting random reboots and/or data dropping off and not coming back up even with rebooting the phone?

edit: getting no data seems to be stemming from after coming off of wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gohamstergo:
A feature I'd like to see: Translucent status and nav bars on home screen. Just to maybe prevent a little bit of screen burn. I turn on immersive sometimes, but be nice to still be able to see the bars, just prevent the burn. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
This is either due to Battery Life Extender (Changeable via Trickster), or perhaps the temperature of the device. If not that, I suggest allowing your battery to completely discharge to 0% and allowing it to charger completely while the device is off. Finally, if those options do not work, it's either your battery, charger or the ROM itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gohamstergo:
ooooooohhhhhhhh, so thats what that setting does... good to know. XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teegale:
I will say that this ROM with the super RAM kernel is so fast. I never thought it would be possible to make my nexus feel like a brand new phone! No sense in upgrading now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moody66:
Oddly enough mine now says battery status unknown and reads 1%. Plugged in and shut down with it on charger it shows it as charging and last time I tried it read 92%. Gonna let it fully charge with phone off and see if that remedies the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
What kernel are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moody66:
Was running Mpo super ram. Ended up having to restore a nandroid backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haggisman14:
Hey guys, just a quick update...some of you may know i'm one of the few that has been having a horrible time with 4.4 in terms of the 4G/3G handoff. If I'm able to get a 4G connection, as soon as it drops, it won't switch to 3G, nor will it reconnect to 4G. Only after a reboot will it connect, and then it does the same thing. Also if I switch the radio to 3G only, it won't connect at all.

I was figuring it was just my phone as a handful of other people were having this issue, but I wanted to try and find out if that was the case. Originally I have been running versions of LiquidSmooth (from 4.2-4.4), I tried Vanir, same problem, and then I tried OnmiMetal, and I have fully functioning 4G/3G connectivity, and most times strong 4G in my office (this has been lacking on all other 4.4 ROMs I've tried.

Whatever you did...awesome job! And keep up the great work. It seems your ROM isn't as tweakable as others, but I'm just scratching the surface of it. Great job!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raing:
I'm running the 02/09 build and mpok superram with wavedashdoc's kernel settings. The best build yet. Thanks metalspring for all your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
You're welcome. My fixes are included now in omnimetal, shiny, and liquid.

Couldn't stand my data issues, so I fixed it myself and shared :)

Anyone know if it's possible that art makes my phone suck? Enabled art for a week, and had terrible lag on multiple kernels, back on dalvik, and loving my phone again..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haggisman14:
I'll have to try Liquid with their next update. Good job and MUCH appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
Yeah I do the same thing kinda. Except I beats and delete the others..as far as using both, for some reason I remember [MENTION=4118822]Misledz[/MENTION] saying they conflict with each other, maybe that's changed.

My battery life extender is set for 100... What should it be set for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
This will sound lame, but anyone know why I can't open candy crush?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
That's why. The kernel has some init.d scripts that clash with the ROM, I believe.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

It's recommended to have it at 97%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grunt9800:
I'm having app compatibility issues as well. Check that your Lcd density is 320 (if you haven't already)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hawk687:
I think the apps in play store issue is due to something in the build prop id'ing the device to the play store... Try comparing the build prop in another rom w/out the issue and see if anything pops out?

I used to have this issue on my fascinate back in the day... May have been display id or build fingerprint, but I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
already tested that idea out lol, i think i know the fix

download and copy this to /system/etc/permissions and set the permissions on it the same as other files in that directory

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/428764/android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml

then clear data for market, reboot and possibly wait awhile for the change to fully register

(thanks to [MENTION=2408813]gohamstergo[/MENTION] for this idea)

So I'm guessing my idea wasn't right?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cd95yj:
Hey metal, just wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort you've put into building this ROM. Sadly, tomorrow I retire my nexus and Verizon for T-Mobile; its kind of hard when I'll be saving $100 per month by switching.

Thanks again mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peterpressure:
This has to be the best Kit Kat rom for the Verizon Nexus. Thank you so much!

Have not found any issues. Camera, Bluetooth everything just works!

One question:

Is the Active Display option real? Does it just drive the OLED portion of interest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Plutonium0587:
Is there an example app to see if this worked. A lot of the apps I'm trying to get for my pebble watch are not compatible even with this fix.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
I had the same issue, tried other Roms, tried swapping batteries with my wife's phone, it was the phone itself. It continually worsened until it would no longer charge to 70% even. Verizon sent me a replacement with the same issue but not as bad. Tried a brand new battery and still happening. Made Verizon replace it again and now I have a good one. Hopefully this one lasts me until my contract is up in July. Can read more details in the thread I made a while back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
I'm gonna miss the development support of the GNex and I want to thank Metal for giving me great ROMs and extending the life of my phone.

Got a Droid Maxx and rooted it. Not ever going to see the development of a Nexus with this phone but the battery is at 72% after 24hrs of moderate use which is impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otter34:
Battery life isn't very good. I had my phone unplugged, data off and Wi-Fi also off. It was actually at 23% before I thought of taking a screenshot. Stock everything. How can Google search be draining so much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MongolPup:
Not trying to be an ass, (just covering the basic stuff I often forget) but my first guess would be your Google Now settings have it working overtime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Google apps tend to be battery hogs sometimes no matter what rom. It just happens every now and then but a clean reflash seems to fix it

Soon, just want to make sure the branch of dirtyv kernel I use in the rom is working well enough now and everything is up to date in github
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haggisman14:
Just making sure, as long as you're on 4.4, you can dirty flash updates?

Loving this ROM, snappiest, and best 4G I've gotten on my Nexus since I got it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Yeah, I will always suggest to clean flash to avoid possible issues but dirty flashes between updates should be ok

I've noticed this also. It's not the PA GApps. This ROM is the only ROM I've experienced this on. It would be nice to get this working.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cloudy_cloud:
Coming from 4.3

Quick question (I hope): Is there a new bootloader I need to flash before this ROM if coming from 4.3? I know that I will have to clean install and factory reset, but anything else I should do on first flash of this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
No new bootloader, just make sure you are on the latest recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cloudy_cloud:
Please Help

I am using the latest version of ES and have Root Explorer enabled, but I can't save the build.prop file. Every I try to change the lcd density and save, I get an error message. Any chance someone could walk me though this?

Edit: I am trying to get my icons to appear smaller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omniatic:
Make sure you have root explorer set to R/W for all files. Just enabling it isn't enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilrl79:
I've been using this ROM with the kernel that comes with it and set up as suggested, I'm having an issue where it seems when Im listening to the SiriusXM app it stops playing and I have to turn the screen back on and press pause then play again to get it working again. This behavior didn't happen on CM so I'm assuming it may be kernel related, anyone have any ideas on a fix? I really like everything else about this ROM, great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cloudy_cloud:
Thanks!

This worked. For anyone new like myself:

Go into the app ES File Explorer

Click the top left most image (globe and phone for me)

Scroll down to 'Root Explorer' and turn on

Then hold and let go on the word 'Root Explorer' to open root menu

Then click 'Mount R/W'

Change /system from RO to R/W and click ok

Now you should be able to open, edit, and save the /system/build.prop file and change the screen density

I just got my Pebble watch today. So far loving it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the phone and sms notifications to work with OmniMetal. I love this rom. Best for my phone (toro). I wiped everything and clean installed 2/9 and the checkbox areas were greyed out so i could not activate the notifications. I wiped and installed Vanir 4.4 and worked like a charm. Anyone else having this issue? I tried default kernel and SR kernels. Not a killer but wanted to know what may be causing the notification to not be active.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Try the fix quoted above, which will be included in the next build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Digging the latest build metal. Question for anyone who may know, is there an app or possible setting that exists for a user to set applications to use immersive mode by default? Certain applications like the browser and some games don't declare it, and I have to manually do it each and every time, which isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to streamline the process so that it happened automatically.

Working over in the dirtyv thread gives me ideas for the rom lol (where else did you think I came up with adding graphite optimizations?)

Also, if you want you can build yourself, github is all up to date now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adoboyo:
So new release today most likely :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Maybe, it depends on if it builds, if everything works, if I have the kernel set up properly (since bsmitty has been doing lots of changes), and how long I decide to test before releasing.

Edit: And if I don't lose power, since we're supposed to get some strong storms tonight (Is this still February???) lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmoG530:
Don't take that in a bad way, it's just that we all miss you and your work. :) I can certainly say, that after trying just about every ROM for this device (4.4.2 wise) this is the only ROM that I can consider daily driver material and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. I was a heavy crack flasher before and you changed that. We really do appreciate all of your work and effort.
