Decided to try this over CM11 on my XTZ because of the video issues with mx player pro, and seems your mirror is nice and fast which is a bonus will let you know how it goes im just gonna flash it straight over cm11

:crying: forgot exFat isnt supported so far so good though, only had google play newstand fc on first boot, just switching to ART atm to test that out

If i knew how and where to start, i would give it a try im pretty sure there is people out there who enjoy the benefits of the exFat file system especially on the XTZ since it supports 64Gb sd cards.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] magnafunk:
Hi, is there any mirror?

When I apply one of the delta updates, I lose g-apps on reboot - is this normal? Is there a way around it? Is there a particular g-apps package I should be using to avoid this - I'm currently downloading the PA g-apps in the hope that they won't do it...

EDIT: So I think I've just answered my own question - on the tablet internal storage, there's a folder called OpenDelta. Inside that is a folder called FlashAfterUpdate, which I'm guessing I should put my g-apps package into in order to, well, FlashAfterUpdate.

What is the suggested filesystem to use for microsd card, as ExFat is not supported?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hassanman1997:
Great so far

:good:

the rom is pretty stable so far, reall y appreciate the work that has been done

since this is my first omni rom

i dont know how to customize the quick settings tiles, there is no option in the settings, should i install xposed to do that?

also i lost root access, can you please tell me how to root it again on omni rom ??? :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
Fat32 or ext4 perhaps
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] parapaul:
After many years with CM, I've flashed Omni onto my tablet. To be fair, I haven't tried CM11 so can't compare but I love the simplicity of Omni.

Just the right amount of customisation available, and lots of AOSP goodness. Almost enough to tempt me to try it on my N5 too... We'll see!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
Frankly, this Omnirom is mysterious to me.

I've read around the forums and on the Omni site; but to this day couldn't find out what is better in this ROM than in other AOSP ROMs.

Isn't it just another rather vanilla-style ROM like CM without any special features?

What could be a reason to prefer Omni over CM? Please enlighten me, thanks!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] francesco.cordella:
I've flashed this rom..great, but i've lost root..why?

Gs4 35 edition
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hasenbein1966:
Nobody? Is my question dumb?

What exactly is the "AOSP goodness" that is better than Sony stock ROM or CM that makes Omni flash-worthy? Seriously, I really only want to know.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] themono:
No, your question is perfectly reasonable! I think the lack of response is largely due to how early on Omni is - headline features like multiwindow aren't actually there yet, though when it is that will be a killer on the tablet.

At present, I use Omni because:

It's lightweight

The auto-updater is excellent

It provides just enough customisation to meet my needs without going overboard

I like the development direction and am keen to see where it ends up

It's quite possible that you'd prefer CM, and if that's the case, that's fine - I'd suggest trying them both and see what you prefer!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] francesco.cordella:
Nobody knows why?

Gs4 35 edition
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ibis69:
Simply because omni don't have root included

Install supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/371/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.85.zip from recovery after flashing omni rom
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] francesco.cordella:
Ty so much..

Gs4 35 edition
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] oraziox:
i tried to install this but the recovery says :

this package is for "SGP311,SGP312, pollux-windy" devicethis is a "pollux"

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] udelgadochio:
Doubt

Hi! I just have a doubt about installing this ROM, anyone can tell what to wipe in Recovery? Also if I have to flash Gapps or not? If yes, can anyone provide me a link for the gapps that this ROM needs?

Edit:

I've already downloade PA Gapps, going to flash them, Just remains my doubt of wiping, can anyone tell me what to wipe in Recovery before flashing? Do I just have to flash the .zip file I downloade from the Omni website?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Pfhortune:
Been playing with this since last night. Pretty good so far. Couple of crashes here and there, but nothing huge. Can't get GravityBox Pie controls to work, and the quicktoggles are really wonky, but cest la vie.

Thanks to the devs for good work!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] oraziox:
can someone explain me how to install this rom? i tried to flash the boot.img by fastboot, went to recovery and flash the zip but recovery send me everytime a different error
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Pfhortune:
Hmm, sounds like for some reason the boot.img isn't right. Perhaps try one from the previous nightly?

Sent from my Moto X.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] rifad20:

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jinsuke32:

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Pfhortune:
Having an issue where I have to reboot every time I connect to a saved WiFi network. It gets to the IP address part and fails out in a loop. Any one have a solution?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
1. My tablet currently has cm boot.img flashed into it. Do I still need to flash the boot.img that comes with omni? I asked because I tried AOKP before and I didn't have to flashed the boot.img.

2. Does the ROM support NTFS/exFAT? if not available, can the dev please add?

Thanks very much
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] samarium:
I've been using ext4 for sdcard since CM9 somewhere, and now with Omni.

Can do > 4GB files, and less prone to corruption due to journaling.

I just used the 1227 zip. Flashed the boot.img, rebooted, was in TWRP.

Had some problems seeing internal storage, maybe because I didn't understand that, with XTZ, /sdcard is a reference to /data/media.

I wiped data & cache ok, dalvik failed, but I figured in the previous 2 are ok, then dalvik isn't going to be a problem.

I resorted to copying omni rom zip, gapps, supersu to an external sdcard, and and mounting and installing from that.

Maybe the TWRP included in Omni needs updating to understand the XTZ partitions better. There seem to be some newer TWRP and some dual recovery images that can be flashed, and maybe they know the layout better, but it seems like you have to reflash after each ROM flash to over write the recovery installed by the ROM, but haven't been motivated to test.

I haven't tried flashing another nightly, maybe in a week or three.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] parapaul:
I upgraded from a CM ROM, with CWM recovery. I flashed the Omni zip and GApps zip, and retained the CWM recovery. If you're struggling, you could try the boot.img from a CM build to get CWM, then flash the Omni zip from there?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Latest nightly bootloops...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] parapaul:
I'm on 1229 nightly and it's booted fine. However, trying to open 'Display' in Settings causes a FC every time. Any ideas anyone?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Wow wait a minute.you are with 29 nightly on windy and it boots fine?are you on dalvik or on art?i ask as i have bootloop problem and cm has also the same problem with latest nightlies
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] neonlite:
no bootloops either, had a bootloop on FXP252-cm-11-20131230-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip with boot.img from that zip.

flashed omni-4.4.2-20131229-pollux_windy-NIGHTLY.zip and everything boots perfectly.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] pangiotis24:
Are you on dalvik or on art?also with which gapps?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] SnZ:
I didn't had bootloops with any of Omni release anyways, i have bootloops with official.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] cantenna:
Rom works well but video recording crashes camera app.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
same as NTFS and much more common than a linux system.

I've used ext4 for my sdcard in the past and it's a PITA if linux is not your main OS. I was using virtualbox at the time and it's not convenient at all. usable but not convenient.

As I said, whatever NTFS cm uses in their sources having been working beautifully for months on my phone and 2 tablets.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] samarium:
What ever works for you. NTFS has an extra fuse layer compared to ext4 native kernel support.

My normal usage mode is leave the card in the gadget, so doesn't really matter. On the odd occasion that I do use externally, ext4 works better for me.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] mrjayviper:
Really depends on a persons setup but I think windows would be more common as a main os compared to Linux.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] zombiej79:
Why screenshots? And what is the most stable release?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] parapaul:
Just in case any Omni devs are following this thread, I wanted to offer some constructive criticism -

This is a silly situation. If hadn't read this post I would have been scratching my head about why I had to boot into recovery and flash GApps again each time. You either need better documentation somewhere, or better, a change in your updater that doesn't wipe out GApps each time.

Secondly, there's a popup warning when you unlock the 'flash after update' option in the updater saying you're now vulnerable to malicious files. That's true, so wouldn't a simplified update process make it easier for everyone?

Exactly what does this mean? I noticed that moving to a newer supersu meant that the supersu app disappeared from the app drawer and now there is a menu in the system settings.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lycidias:
It means, that i could not get root acess, because super su could not install the supersu Binaries. Also i got no Popup from supersu Where i can accept or Decline the root rights for an app.

Sorry for my english :p

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] samarium:
Have you tried reading the OP in the supersu thread? Asking there? That should be your best source of info.

IIRC I had problem with a supersu upgrade. Seemed to be related to me having it installed via play store. I did the following:

Removed any play store updates for supersu.

Removed supersu.

Rebooted to recovery.

Removed supersu file from /system/addon.d

Reinstalled omni zip.

Reinstalled supersu zip.

Rebooted. Found supersu menu in system settings.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Entropy512:
There was a bug that I didn't notice as I was too busy with other devices. I finally tracked it down and fixed it about two weeks ago:

https://github.com/omnirom/android_...mmit/1e66b6b77dfa759cebaeade88a74e973607e9fe0

(this one was a real headscratcher that had me busy poking at it for nearly every night for a week... REALLY weird bug, and only affected Sony devices that were not using littlestevie's LK bootloader - most of the other Omni guys with Zs were using LK which masked the bug by booting straight into a dedicated recovery kernel instead of doing ramdisk-fu with combinedroot.)

Unfortunately the maintainers that own this device are spread way too thin... Omni really needs more maintainers who have the time and skills to pay attention and troubleshoot. (December was an especially bad month for me personally... I think I flashed my pollux twice in that month and didn't confirm this issue until early January, and I'm too busy with core Omni work to go into device threads. This issue was never posted to our bugtracker at jira.omnirom.org)

You shouldn't need to, but it appears you were using a broken recovery that misreported itself as pollux instead of pollux_windy despite running a pollux_windy kernel. (the kernel defconfigs for the two devices ARE different)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] themono:
Yeah, sorry about that - I wasn't sure whether or not it actually was a bug, or whether reflashing gapps each time was the intended behaviour!
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] lupick:

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Jens1969:
I didn't notice any sound bug on omni - but I don't hear anything on cm either. :o

Still no tap 2 wake on omni. I tried the cm kernel with omni Rom. I believe, I have woken up the device once. But quick settings menu and other stuff went nuts. Then I tried to cherry pick the cm commit you mentioned a few posts back. But with that one, omni couldn't be build.

There has been at least one commit after that one regarding tap2wake. But cherry picking that one didn't work either, though I could build the Rom at least. There was no place in settings menu to activate tap2wake.

With our without those cherry picks, my wi-fi was broken. I used the blobs from the muppets repository. Cm seems to use different blobs. So I went back to cm. No wi-fi was a no go. :(

Help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Edit: Used DonkeyCoyote's repo instead of The Muppets. Rom is working - but without double-tap 2 wake.

Re: tap2wake

+1

[A couple of days ago, I searched the CM repository to figure out, how they did it. Cherry picking only one commit did not work. The latest commit regarding doubletap2wake seems to utilize a CM-(sub-) framework for hardware specific features. I don't thing, that this will be ported or implemented into omnirom. And without some basic knowledge of a) JAVA, b) the AOSP ecosystem and c) GIT, I won't be able to port the changes to omnirom.]

How to: doubletap 2 wake

Here is a quite simple way to enable doubletap 2 wake: open a terminal, get root privileges, and type:

echo 1 >> /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/wakeup_gesture

Using Tasker, this can be executed as shell command after the tablet has booted up.

Back to omnirom ! :D

Omnirom has its own way to deal with device specific features, but still it's hard to adapt, if you have no idea of the ecosystem behind. I'd need a lengthy personal training. ;)

So far it seems to perform better than CM11.

Omni

CM11

AOKP

Stock

While that is true it really needs to be added to the rom. Addin task Prof ams just to add this line to every startup is cumbersome.

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Well adding one line of script to Rom toolbox/scripter and setting it in boot is really easy for such a feature...

But it's me, can't talk for someone else...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] AllanJacques:
Over CM11 it feels more polished, like it is finished (even though it is a nightly version)

As for ART, performance wise it is better than Dalmir.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] HeadNoodle:
I've only used the rooted stock version on my device. I am thinking of. Trying this. Do any of you guys miss any of the sony stuff like Bravia engine, sound ext. Also is the battery life etc just As good as stock?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
Personally I never used the stock firmware, got it unlocked, rooted and flashed soon as I could and since switching from a well known but problematic (for me anyway) rom to this, the experience has been perfection. I like to theme, so use Xposed + Xblast for that. My 3 kids have user accounts and when the tablet has been used by them all for a couple of hours, battery drops by about 30-50% which I'm more than happy with. If it's just me using it on and off throughout the day, it easily lasts from a full charge with 20% or so to spare.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] AllanJacques:
That was my main concern as well but I don't miss anything. Actually I find user experience better on Omni than stock in every aspect.
