I have been running this rom for 2 days now and I love it. I have had no major problems and no reboots to speak of.the only thing that I miss is a theme chooser.otherwise I love it great job.

Major battery improvement on 30/11 nightly. Better than on my slimbean 8.1 also. Love this rom even though its missing some features i use a lot. Great job guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
I have no clue what happened. I'm not sure if this is my fault or the Rom's fault. I had my phone plugged into my computer to charge and I turned on the screen and launched a game (Clash of Clans) and my screen started flickering in different sections then it just shut off. The battery icon appeared with a loading symbol and after a few seconds a white battery symbol with a question mark in it appeared. I removed the battery and tried booting it again and it doesnt want to boot. It can boot into download. Was wondering if there was a way to get into recovery so I dont have to go back to stock rooted

EDIT: Wow I have no clue what I did but it booted back up after 2 hours

EDIT2: Ok my battery is stuck at 0% what can I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaniielSnz:
how to?

how to update from the omni-4.4-20131127 Build?

what are the steps to update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Umm the exact same way you installed it in the first place?

Somebody should get a general discussion thread going before the DEV thread starts getting flooded with questions that could've been answered by reading the first post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaniielSnz:
mmmm...

i mean without loosing my data...

for example: pacman update nightly

* Reboot to Recovery

* Flash the ROM

* Wipe dalvik cache and cache

* Reboot your phone

can i use that steps with this omni rom?

Weird. I get subpar battery life on this ROM, but I love KitKat too much to flash back my daily driver. What gapps do you have? The one on the op?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] auTONYmous:
Not the best battery I've ever had, but much improved over previous nightlies, and better than carbon 4.3 for me.

11/29 nightly, day two. 45% remaining, 45 minutes of screen time. (I'm using Active Display heavily, so I'm not spending much time digging through apps to read updates.)

I used the PA-full-modular gapps.

Recognizing AT&T Microcells

Is there any way to make Omni recognize and display that the phone is connected to an AT&T Microcell? On the original Samsung ROMs, the carrier name is displayed as "AT&T Microcell". Omni just displays "AT&T". I'm pretty sure that his is going to be a feature request since I don't believe that there is a configuration solution.

-John
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] coolmalayalee:
I guess you should be able to rename it to whatever using Gravitybox xposed module.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnC60:
Not just renaming the carrier ID from "AT&T" to "AT&T Microcell". Omni needs to detect if it's connected to a real AT&T cell site (and display "AT&T") or if it's connected to a Microcell at home (and display "AT&T Microcell"). I'm pretty sure Omni need to look at the LAC to decide if it's a tower or Microcell.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
There are several apps that offer this, such as this one. Also, a few Xposed modules have this feature. In the meantime you can always request the feature be added to Omni rom.

I've not seen the button missing but I have had issues a few times with it not updating like your saying, when it does that I go to omni website and download latest nightly after that it usually starts updating again.

So for the past couple of days sometimes when my phone does screen off it doesn't come back up. I try to unlock and I see soft buttons light up but the screen doesn't. If the screen does come up there is no touch capability for me to unlock. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grave_digger:
I've not seen this myself. Would this maybe be a kernel issue? Are you on stock kernel? Have you tried Render_brokens kernel and see if that fixes it? Which phone do you have? Did it just begin after an update? If so can you go back in the nightly and get a different nightly to work correctly? I'm sure someone will be along to help more then me but those are some basic they will need.

Everytime I update a new nightly I have to flash GApps again, it is as though the GApps doesnt stick.. Help??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
-What Gapps are you flashing?

-how are you flashing each nightly?

-do you have70-gapps.sh in /system/addon.d?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
This shouldn't happen unless you are wiping the /system partition prior to flashing the next nightly.

The update script of each nightly checks the backup scripts stored in addon.d, so that specific apps can be restored correctly when Omni finishes installing. If the /system partition is wiped prior to flashing the nightly, then there are no backup scripts in addon.d for the update script to honor, and any system apps that were not a part of the firmware, (superSU, Gapps, etc) will not be restored.

--The Gapps I'm using is "pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140307-signed"

After the 20140406 nightly, all Google processes and gapps began crashing. I reinstalled the gapps I originally installed with the rom ((modular mini 4.4.2 20131230), but this did not resolve the issue. I downloaded and installed the latest Gapps: >PA 0 day< MICRO (20140321a). This seems to have exacerbated the issue.

When I checked while drafting this post, I noticed that 20140407 was already available. Checking for updates in the system only found 0406, so I downloaded and flashed 0407 (and the micro gapps 20140321a). This resolved the issue.

Symptoms include frontload of gapps failures and USB connectivity not resolving until errors the have also resolved. I hope this is helpful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grave_digger:
I had android process close a couple of times. Dialer closed and some reboots out of no where. I just DL 4/7 so hopefully like you it will quit. I didn't do wipe or anything. This has happened once or twice in the past and usually clears up with next nightly.

Is anyone using Art instead of dalvik. if so hows it run for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleggy:
I have gone back & forth between art and dalvik. I've been on art the last month or so. no problems or compatibility issues.

honestly, the difference is nearly imperceptible to me. maybe the first few moments after switching opening apps or new windows seems to be faster, but things normalize once you forget about run-times and go about your daily phone life, y'know?

art takes longer to boot after a flash. kinda a bummer, but whatever. art is the direction android is headed, so I'm going with it.

Yeah, I just wanted people to know that the nightly was mucking things up.

The reason for the inability to easily repair the issue is that I either accidentally or the update turned on zip verification in the teamwin recovery settings.
