i dont know too much about android :rolleyes: so does omni rom supports any theme ? like miui or cm ? :cyclops:

and for omni rom can we use ART ? does it run safe ? with changing in options ? :confused:

and are you think oc kernel in next builds?

one more : can you add memory script option to next build for lazy guys :p

thanks for everything :o
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Currently, omni is working on a better themes implementation, much like MIUI, and/or the ChameleonOS, where almost every individual part of the operating system can be themed,

Yes, you can use ART, but you need to have some kind of reverse-mounting script (you call it as memory increasing script) installed.

OC kernel is not for me to include, but I will provide a flashable zip for it later.

As for S2W toggle, and other stuff, I'd try to work something out (and yea, would be a toggle, but with a better implementation (if possible)).

a bigger question.........

what is the difference between CM and omni?

why do they have different ram disk and wat difference does it make??

and wat is omni switch?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
For that question, I'd suggest you read this entire thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2508280

There are quite some changes in the ramdisk.

As for what's Omni Switch, here's an article that featured a few days ago on the XDA Portal: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/meet-omniswitch-an-innovative-new-feature-in-omnirom/

no icons in the drag down quick menu

Hi I m currently running the latest build from 01.05. It runs smooth but I dont get any tiles/icons in the quick drag down menu. Would you possibly know if it is int space related? I havent installed any reverse mount script yet. Thanks

By Installing just the ROM and SU - the quick menu came back in place. However had to delete some apps to install working GAPPS. Now there seems to be a problem copying int2ext script to init.d. It doesn't copy over properly - shows 0 KB. Tried with 2 different root browsers. Somebody any ideas?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] boko_to:
Just an observation

2 days after:

So I have everything running pretty smooth - apart from some robotic calls every now and then - which seemed to go away : However i updated thru TRWP and the SU is unable to survive the update :( but the Gapps can - so I have to remove Gapps everytime (so i can instal SU) after an update which is not practical at all....memory scripts look to be another problem ( mounts2SD fails over to recovery and then no space to install the sh script) - but I can live with that - any feedback from the dev would be appreciated :),

This Rom( just my humble opinion) is on par for speed with the sakindia 4.3.1 ( OC Aries 3.5 ) running slightly above 700 Mhz) - I can verify that as i had the mean pastry machine ROM just before that .We look forward towards an OC Ker :)

Issue

Hi there

I installed omni-4.4.2-20140506-pico-NIGHTLY , Gapps and SuperSU , but i can not sign in my google account.

Everything else works...

What could be the problem?Thank's
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] boko_to:
Read the previous posts - the sign in error is related to space restrictions on the ROM - you need to remove the default browser ( at least it worked for me like that ) and then you will be able to sign in
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Never used Gapps much, so, dunno much about it. A reflash should work just as fine.

I'd suggest scripts such as int2ext, rather than Mounts2SD, though still, that is your personal choice.

OC'ed kernel is inbuilt by default. Just use the 40_twn_oc_helper script if you need to OC the device.

Space issues... Will look into that when I get time... sys2cache seems to be one option.

SU would not survive the update for sure. Why not just reflash it (no other way, for now :( ).

Robotic calls, will try to fix... though that's not the priority

space issues :(

p.s. sorry for the late reply

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
I added back something that I removed from init.pico.rc (https://github.com/omnirom/android_device_htc_pico/commit/80c756e6e8cc11080a728ded961ac10f79ab67c0). Could you please check if GPS works (after doing a factory reset, if possible :fingers-crossed: )? Currently dealing with issues in my build server (I call my i3-3220, 1 TB, 4 GB PC that way :p ), and can't seem to get past libwebviewchromium building. So, I thought I'd push those changes and let the users test :)

Hmm, Ok. I'll revert back the acpuclock changes, and/or try to fix

No need to revert the cpuclock changes - finally it holds 878 mhz - it just didnt do it right away )

P.S.

I am currently running the galaxyfreak cm11 with this kernel and i can say performance is quite ok. Dont know why people complain about lags so much. The omni rom is snappier out of the box , no doubt, but the cm 11 is no slouch either. Im not using any mods or killjoys ). Of course for the cm 11 rom you need all the horsepower from the cpu.

Hi,

How to that possible?

I am trying but only 767Mhz?

You have any specific features?

What is your partition order?

Any one can explain me,how that possible?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] boko_to:
Ok here how i did it: 2 ext4 partitions sd-data and sd-cache ( 70 mb). Note the strict order is: main fat32;sd-data; sd-cache. Once you have done that flash the rom and then the custom kernel. Reboot. Now put the oc_helper script in init. d. Reboot ( boot time up to 3 min) . Check your internal storage now to verify that the int2ext script has been executed. Should be showing your sd-data partition. Now go and bump the cpu up to 878.reboot. If after that cpu still defaults to 600 mhz.- clean cache in recovery - mount system - re-flash kernel. There should be no bootloops. Im running it for 2 days at 878 and bfq. Good luck. And dont install any mods.

4) I don't really mind multitasking (it's a 50€ phone after all). But certainly it would more pleasant if at least the current program wouldn't be lagging (for example, the keyboard)

5) I think I can safely overclock my phone until 730Mhz... And yes, I can feel a very little improvement

6) I'm using int2extv2+ at the moment. And why would I need a script to overclock the phone, if I just have to go in the built-in performance settings?

F2FS

Why would f2fs increase performance and that too 2x,isn't it huge?

www.xda-developers.com/android/potentially-speed-up-android-with-new-compiler-flags/

Will this work on Omni?

Can you add terminal emulator to the ROM zip?

The Documents app cannot install apps from SD.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
I. It is huge, but currently, I'm "de-motivated" by two factors:

1. Though it does provide performance improvements, the internal memory is too small, to be of any use.

2. As galaxyfreak said,

it is true to an extent that it will take up more storage space due to metadata and stuff, thus further lessening its usage.

II. Evidently, will work on Omni. But, there was a question in the G+ community, and here were the opinions of two of the lead developers:

That would be awesome if they did!﻿

III. D'uh. We are running into enough low space issues already :|

You can download the latest release from here: http://jackpal.github.com/Android-Terminal-Emulator/downloads/Term.apk

IV. Correction. The Documents App *can* install apps from the SD Card. I have personally tested it. Get logcats, in case of problems.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Just thought you guys would want to know about 40twn_oc_helper: (read: i need testers)

also, [MENTION=5150906]iamrohit7[/MENTION], those external gapps aren't working... I tried a custom implementation of it, then, the same itself, getting errors, mainly "class not found", because of symlinking, and other cruft from apps in "/system/priv-app". So, making enough space in the /system partition is the only option :(

Treated in CM11 RC1(Review):

1)Flashed in CM11 RC1 and what's happened?

All system data clear and installed app uninstalled,in simple language---->Pure Rom.

2)Now internal memory is sd-ext(1gb),isn't move system app on internal(sd-ext-1gb)/sd card(a2sd){Pico internal memory-160mb(information from titanium backup)}.

Now,flash gapp,it's in system(247mb)<64.2 mb to 40mb>.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
No. Just planning to complete the "todo" given here: https://github.com/thewisenerd/reverse_mounter#todo; after which it'd be "one complete package", so...

Also, directly reverse mounting, would be "more secure", as there'd be no messing up of permissions or so, which might have occoured in the remotest possible way, in case of using reverse mounting init.d scripts.

could you please rephrase the information? also, you'd need to clear all the data (i'd recommend superwipe_v0.5 with NAND recovery), install the ROM, install the flashable reverse_mounter.zip alone. Don't mess with anything else.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Sorry for missing your question here.

As of now, no bugs have been fixed. Whatever bugs were there, are.

With "a lot of work" to be done, and only a few people compiling kitkat for this device (the number jumped from 3 to 4) (big diff!), and not many wishing to work on Omni, (which is not CM), as it gives bugs during compilation (if you try to fix errors, that is.); I've decided to prioritize the work in a specific fashion, so that it is systematically done, or at least, hope so :fingers-crossed:

First, finish the work on "reverse mounter"; as it is *technically speaking* easy (for me, to write scripts, that do things); and is pretty straight forward (no aimless edits or so)

Next, to look at the GPS in Omni. Apparently, the GPS HAL's sources were missing in Omni (really sorry for that :silly: ) (not my fault though). I'll ask those guys in IRC about it, and hopefully, it should be fixed soon (i hope I didn't mess up device tree in an attempt to fix that :p ) I guess this should be on top of the list

next, comes video recording. period.

Ok good - just to give you my current setup : i have flashed the kernel from may 13 and on top of it the reverse mounter. I am now using only one ext3 SD-DATA partition of 1.8GB.
