I don't like Xperia Home... can't change to apps orientation (Horizontal and Vertical) and the quantity of apps per row...

Do you guys have a good one??!
[Sony Xperia ZL] fr4nk32:
1. if you want a good custom rom go for cyanogenmod... if you want a custom-custom (very personalizable) look for aokp or pacman rom...

2. a good home look for nova, apex launcher or other...

Does anyone know if there is an update to the transparent acuweather widget for 4.3 on the note2? I went to the note 3 forum thinking they both have 4.3 but the mod there does not work on the 2. Which brings up a question. Can note2 updated to 4.3 use note 3 mods?

[General Questions and Answers] Juhele:
Hi,

I am thinking turning an cheap chinese Android tablet (probably 7 inch) into home "sound system" or jukebox (offline use, wall mount + wall charger powered) together with my PC active speakers. It is only for a small room, I know about common quality of the sound output of such devices and do not take it as problem.

However, I would like to make it easier to store and replace albums etc. and thus need to replace the tablet microSD slot with a slot for standard SD cards (expect 32GB or more 16GB pieces) which are cheaper and much easier to remove. Are there any expected issues related to removing current slot and soldering the new one? As I know from using passive SD adapters for microSD cards - both slots should have same wiring.

Did anybody here already tried something similar? Would appreciate advices or comments.
[General Questions and Answers] Monkey_Grass:
there shouldnt be any problem with soldering a full size one on as inside sd to micro sd convertors there is no circuitry it is just a pin to pin connection. and your project sound quite cool actually hope everything goes well :good:
[General Questions and Answers] L4ky:
Yes, it's possible but i would be scared about doing something similar except if the tablet is dead and this is need to revive it.

You need a good hand to solder it, take care about near circuits! Don't keep your solder near circuits too much, just a few seconds to get you soldering!

Let us know if you'll try this mod!
[General Questions and Answers] Juhele:
Hi,

I know the circuitry is very sensitive and I planned to ask my friend who has professional soldering station. However, we just found out that the tablet we have (noname chinese 7-inch tablet without battery, but works OK on usb power) should support USB host (it is switched on in kernel and my brother found some info related the motherboard), so I will order some cheap USB host cable on Ebay and check this alternative first. It would be better for me as I could use common flash disks as music storage.

So will see.... :laugh:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJ31:
Hi what is the best program to transfer .mp3 from pc to xperia z SD card (SD card is SDHC Class 10 32gb) my Xperia z is also on 4.3

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
You mean through wifi?

I don't know what for you is the best.

You can try:

-MyPhoneExplorer

-Wondershare Mobile Go for Android

-I think with PC Companion you can do it also. Just click on connect and choose wifi.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJ31:
No through usb as I have tried different ways and some songs play and some songs it says cannot play song on some of the others, all the songs are all the same format .mp3
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
then they are damaged.. If you transfer 10 songs to your Xperia, 10 songs have to play fine(if no one is damaged).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJ31:
I have tried several mp3 programs and all results are that the mp3 files have no errors so still do not understand why the xperia z walkman says on some songs cannot play song, really getting frustrating lol
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Clear cache of Walkman and try again
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJ31:
I have tried all that and it is still the same
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Do you tried an other player?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJ31:
Tried other players and still the same but the files play fine on the pc

One word: OmniROM!

As this is a young ROM, expect the possibility of changes or bugs. (As with any kitkat ROM right now) Personally, it runs great for me.

DISCLAMER

Your warranty is now void.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and CANNOT BLAME ME for causing harm to your device.

Credits to CyanogenMod for the device trees, and SlimROM for some stuff from them that I am currently using. Thanks a ton to GideonX for helping me out, specifically with the kernel stuff in my custom builds, and also for giving me space on his server to host the upcoming builds.

And of course, credits to Omni for this great ROM/project!

Downloads: Alright everyone, GideonX will be taking care of the regular omni builds now as it only takes one build to support all the d2's. I may consider putting up my personal builds soon, but for the time being, you're going to need to flash GideonX's latest build and you should get delta updates from him from then on. Enjoy!! :D All instructions are on his thread.

D2LTE should work fine now. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Do you have any plans to trying become the official maintainer for omni on d2spr?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
To be honest, I don't. I'm just doing this because I like omni and this whole project has been a huge learning experience and continues to be one. And if I wanted to be a maintainer, I wouldn't consider it until I implement this whole thing in a better way. (Instead of having to pick stuff from slim and whatnot) There's just so much to test! :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Downloading Now and will report back in a bit.

Works great although I only have WiFi on this phone it is my rooted test phone. Can not address phone calling or phone data.

Wifi works and camera and video work with great details. No focus issues as with some others.

Good to hear! :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Do you think the ROM runs smoothly? I think the ROM is ridiculously smooth.

On a side note, right now, I'm working on a rebuild without using as much slim stuff.. If this build goes well, I'll have to redo my instructions on my github for building omni :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChoznJuan:
ROM is running super smooth only thing I've noticed so far is that playing video on Netflix, device reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Rom is running smooth and I'm just playing around with everything to see how it all settles. Nothing to settle more like how all the settings work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Does it happen every time? Sorry I don't use netflix so I can't reproduce the issue myself, but something I'm doing might fix that though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
OK I have never had to install Superuser and I did but when trying to install Xposed I get su uid not allowed to su? Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChoznJuan:
Never mind, must have been a bad install. Reinstalled Netflix & smooth as can be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Sweet! :D Yeah inconsistencies like that seem to happen sometimes :P In the past, I've noticed that I have like one random reboot while screen recording but then it doesn't happen again when I screen record.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Two things:

1. are you using ART?

2. Try flashing the ROM and the SuperSU zip again.

Oh wait does any root app work or is it just xposed not working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Not using ART and Xposed is only root app I have on this phone. I will try another root app to see if it works and reply in a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChoznJuan:
5 hours running like a champ. On the stock kernel, the phone got noticeably hotter. I switched to BMS kernel & everything is cool now. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
I'm not sure if frandom heats up the phone :P it's the only actual kernel/init.d script tweak I've done so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChoznJuan:
No worries. Now I'll just sit back and wait for the new goodies you have in store.... Maybe going add multi window back in??:what:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
My battery hasn't heated at all and I still can't get SU to run. Downloaded rooted apps and the will not access SU.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Su works fine for me. I'm not sure what the issue is for you.. Did you flash SuperSU right after flashing the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbr007:
Latest release build 06072014 is superfastic. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fullydeveloped:
Network type switcher?

Does anyone have suggestions for automating network type switching for this ROM & BMS kernel? Specifically on screen on/off. Neither xposed modules created for this purpose (Intelli3g & Smart Network by Wanam) work on this ROM.

Also, this is a bit of a thread resurrection I realize, but this ROM is perfect for us S3 diehards who want a cheap MNVO :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
You can probably do this with Tasker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fullydeveloped:
Tasker has the 2g/3g option in red, saying the action is not available for this device (E-Robot does not work either). Apologies for not stating that in my previous post.

Could I donate for a fix, or do you have any other ways I could investigate?

Best,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Is there a way I can get the source code to build 4.4.2? It's not available on Omni's github.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
I'm about to do a rebuild and I'm only using a very small amount of slim stuff compared to before.. If this works, then I'll move on to attempting to add things :P My primary goal right now is to minimize the use of external repositories besides device repositories from cm. The reason I didn't add multi-window is because it's not really that great right now :P if you really want it, then I can cherry-pick it into the ROM..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Just saw it in OP dirty flashed without any issues all seems great. Will continue to test through the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KingJDuB34:
Does this ROM have active display? And one more question how does the front camera look laggy at all??? especially with apps like snapchat and oovoo etc. Just wanting to know before I flash thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aBowlaPuddin:
Is there any chance you'll be changing the holo blues to white. Similar to how liquid and slimkat have it set up? (Like the highlighted icons and volume bars) thanks, the ROM is looking great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Yes it has active display. The front camera seems slightly laggy, at least when I tried it with snapchat, but not bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Sorry.. I'm not going to for two reasons.

1. I'm not sure how much stuff I'd have to pick and mess with to do that, I don't know how either.

2. I'd like to leave it however omni has it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Just dirty flashed 12/30 and as usual no issue's. Awesome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Did Xposed work? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtsv:
Haven't tried Xposed again and getting up this morning everything is a little laggy going to do a clean reinstall and then will check Xposed.

Clean install still laggy and don't have a copy of SU to install.

Will see how it runs and if it increases as it settles.

I'd be one for multi window, also, what's different form 29->30, I didn't see a changelog, is 30 multi window?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alammori:
Using this ROM since yesterday. I installed PA gaap minimal then SU 1.88. I switched animation from 1x to 0.25x and I have no lag at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Nope it's just another build. Not really any changes expect for whatever changes I got from a repo sync (basically any changes that were merged into omni from 29->30) Alright.. I'm testing something out right now, so after that, I will cherry-pick multi-window and include it into the next build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Can anyone confirm whether Tap & Pay for Google Wallet works on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
Awesome! I'll be sure to stay tuned in! On a side note, have you ever built PAC? They have a really nifty build script that color codes everything! Its in their repo on github, so you don't have to sync to get it,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
What purpose would that serve for me though? I don't think I have any use for a color coding build script.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Hey everyone! Here's a test build I'm linking here, and it's working great for me, I'd like you guys to try it out. The changes are that I've removed compcache cause it doesn't seem to be of any use for us, and I've cherry-picked multi-window (as you guys know it is a WIP, so don't expect too much out of it :P)

http://d-h.st/viH

If this build is working great for you guys, I will put it in the OP.

You don't like pretty colors Ani? ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Thanks! Happy New Years!

I think I'm good XD. I don't watch the build while it's building, but if the script works the way I think it does, I may just watch the build for two hours ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
I think colors are pretty!!!!! Also, makes reading compile errors much less dreary.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnycooper:
Any chance Sound record also is a call recorder?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEY309:
bad download

its a bad download redownload file and get md5 checker to verify or get md5 checker and check your prior download anyway but that's what im seeing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
You have an out-dated recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
SoundRecorder is a package built into android. All I've done is add two lines that make it show up in the launcher (the same way CM does it). So no, it's not a call recorder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
This is now my fav! I have been runnung it for 14 hrs no lag very nice multi windows running great. I have no issues to report. Great Work ad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
Yes this ROM is absolutely fantastic. No lag, awesome different setting and my favorite part, multi window. Has anyone found setting for quick toggles?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
There's no configurable quick toggles yet, I'm pretty sure it's being worked on. (Many more tiles and customization). I guess the only feature of the quick tiles as of now is that some of them can flip if you swipe the tile sideways (such as the wifi and bluetooth tile)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jglm4u:
I didn't saw no multi window option ?! I must be blind :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
It's not something in settings. You're supposed to hold the home button (to open recents) and long press on an app and tap "Add to split view". It is still a work in progress so it's not super amazing yet :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jglm4u:
Lol thanks I'm so dumb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
Anyone else noticed the call pop up thing? That's the coolest feature I think I've ever seen. Omni ROM for life
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Yup it's a non-intrusive call feature in omni. The next build should have an improved version of that with cleaner fonts and size. Also, if you do use DSP manager, there's the ability to set bass frequency to a specific Hz value and the stereo widener feature. The next build will also have new tiles, since it just got merged into omni. I was going to post a build, but I'm working on something right now, and for some reason I don't get service and everything shows up as unknown in settings. Once I get that worked out, I shall post a build :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] morbidj:
I had the same issue with my radio and settings on the latest posted build. I did a boot restore from a nandroid and all is well... Thank you killer rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Did you restore to a previous build? Alright then I know what the issue is! It's not the new modifications I made, but the removal of compcache and that extra init file I removed. I shall add them back again and make another build. Sorry about that! At least I think that might be it.. only one way to find out :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostbiter:
I had that happen to me on the Dec. 30th build, I tried flashing the official MD4 stock rom and that didn't work, had to odin back to get everything to work again. I've had this happen before a long time ago when flashing a different rom, it was due to a bad flash causing my IMEI to be wiped. Luckily there is an easy way to backup and restore this if it does happen, I had just forgotten I had a backup. I reflashed the 30th build after making sure my download was good and everything was fine. It also happened after I had flashed the SU zip one time as well, I had forgotten to do it when flashing everything else, but it might have been a different problem because a reboot fixed it.

Here is some information on backing up and restoring lost IMEI if anyone needs help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
To be honest, I'm a little lost too. I kept the same changes from before and all I did was make another build and flash it and now everything's working. This is really inconsistent..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] morbidj:
No I stayed on the newest build.. I only restored "boot" on the nandroid settings of twrp with an older build backup..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Wait wait wait you only restored boot? That was vital info. I'm assuming that means that you only restored the boot.img from my previous build. I think I might know what the issue is now. Thank you so much, I'm going to test something and I will have a build ASAP (I might only have it by sunday cause I won't be around my computer). [MENTION=2645480]GideonX[/MENTION] this is something you need to know about too, if it works right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huckl3b3rry:
When connected with bluetooth audio in my car the sound it's still routing out the phone speaker. I know there are well known issues with bluetooth in kitkat that I have experienced in other Roms but this is the first time I've seen this issue. Thought I would let you know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Ugh sorry about that, getting bluetooth to build in omni is weird in itself, I'm not even sure if it works right. I'll look into that after I fix this issue with baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huckl3b3rry:
No problem. Using the phone through bluetooth works, it's just the BT headphones that routes incorrectly. Like I said Kitkat in general has had several bluetooth issues. Thanks for all the work on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Haven't tried the new builds yet (on the 12/30) but Wi-Fi tethering worked for the first time for me on a 4.4 Rom! Awesome build and thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
If you're looking for anything to add, I used a camera on a different ROM, can't remember which, but it had a pause/record feature. You could cherry pick that, if you're looking for anything:)

Running great 24 hours about 18 hours actual usage including dirty update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] androidsftw:
Hey everyone. I'd like to put up a testing build. This is basically built with no external repositories and only omni stuff. I'd like you guys to test this out and see how it works. If this is working well, then I'll make my next build in the same manner. This is usable for me (but I did it on a clean flash and accidentally wiped my backups :P). I'd like someone to try to dirty flash this and see how it works because as I said, I can't. (make a backup if you'd like). Here it is! http://d-h.st/NfJ

Changes (aside from the usual repository sync):

I've picked something from omni's gerrit that changes the holo blues to whites, but I won't have it in my next build because it looks like omni doesn't plan on merging it. https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/4577/

Only using omni to build (plus all the cm device stuff), no slim.

Would you mind testing out my latest build? Bluetooth is built in a totally different manner now and I can't test it because I don't use bluetooth.
