Yet another nightly. Full ROM (not incremental). http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job.../archive/omni-4.4.2-20140307-p500-NIGHTLY.zip

Experiences with Omni so far:

Booted up this morning. Whole process is indeed quicker than cm-11, though still annoying. Got process not responding, dismissed.

GNL came up missing 2nd home screen (a sporadic problem not from the ROM I think--used my work around, adding something to the "missing" home screen, restarted. Did not work immediately but magically everything came back while I was redoing all the folders on the 1st screen. Se la vie.)

It did unlink some link2sd-symlinked apps. Cleanup with link2sd without a hitch, have all the space. Will need to periodically clean up but I have enough free space so not doing so is not immediately a problem.

Unlock icon on lock screen (for pattern) will sometimes not appear. Tapping there works anyway.

Battery life is better than I expected!

ROM is responsive, OK for daily-driver.

Will need to decide whether or not to flash over the nightly, and whether to go over to TWRP. Been using CWM since first root.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
New ota nightly, but ... download links are no longer on the jenkins. Maybe trying to tell us something like ... wait :)

Anyway, can get them from the dl.omniarmv6, March 8 nightly (full ROM) http://dl.androidarmv6.org/p500/omni-4.4.2-20140308-p500-NIGHTLY.zip

Anyway, with this up and running, time to try out the features. So, stay tuned. Anyone tried stuff like "active display," omniswitch (has been back ported as an Xposed module for use on other ROMs!), is split screen available? Performance control for better performance was mentioned above--how to use that?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
More nightlies on the dl site. These are actually nightlies.

Experiences with Omni:

Nowadays, one can get most whatever UI and feature regardless of which ROM one is running. "There is an app for that ..." ... or an Xposed module that enables all or most of the same function. In the end, I might stick with cm-10.2 because it comes up reliably, rarely any "wait" or "has stopped" messages to clear and no need to look after unlinked symlinks (something that needs be addressed in AOSP Kitkat and possibly Link2sd). Aside from the annoyances, Omni runs very nicely once up and running!

Feature-1. Onmi-switch

Yes, this has been backported and can be tried on any 4.* ROM. Some buttons do not work outside of real Omni.

This overlaps the functionality of Homeflip and various sideswipers and bubblers for fast task-switching and favorites launching. Omni-switch places a slide bar mid-screen. Two swipes to get it: One brings up the activation area as a glow, the other opens the app. It can also or instead replace the long-home recent apps function. Works very nice as advertised. So ... its the aesthetic. Can run this along with another such app if overkill desired, no problem, or simply choose your poison.

I have been partial to Homeflip because of its full functionality in a very compact package. It lets me set the icon size, maximum apps, etc.

Feature 2. Omni-split view

This has also been implemented as an Xposed module which works very well, though it activation status is not persistent. Implemented as a left-side swipe bar of selected apps, tap and can place upper or lower half. I am not particularly pleased with this interface.

These things are of limited use on such a small screen device but can come in handy. Anyone know how to use the "real thing" on Omni or is it still there?

EDIT: This was activated from recent apps and is apparently absent from these builds.

Feature 3: Active display

This is yet-another-halo-style notification alert. Similar functionality to Floatifications (Floating nofications). All of these use bubbles as opposed to a notification list a la iPhone. Active display has its own representations and swiping functionality and its own aesthetic. Another clear case of choose one's poison and for this, no sense in running both. However, one could use active-display for lockscreen if preferred, and leave floatifications otherwise.

Floatifications can be used on both lockscreen and opened home screens, can interface with halo or XHalo Xposed module (not on Omni since it reserves the activity flag for its multi-window, though absent). Bubbles show over activities and can activate as multitasking, nicely in halo mode. Been using this since it came out, beta'd new versions, etc. The one thing that Active-display has over it is a pocket mode, will wait to turn on the screen until the phone is out of the pocket. Makes sense, and can save a bit of battery this way as well. (Will request this feature :))

I had to reenable usb debugging in settings.

With mass_storage turned on, still no device shown.

Actually had that dialog on bootup, phone connected to charger, not computer's usb.

So I reset to the mtp.adb persist default ... and immediately had both the device available as "mass storage" AND adb shell operational, together. Veeeerrrrryyy strange. I did not mount the device to try it out because this looked very dangerous. The notifications draw entry still said click to copy files ...

Hey, if this ROM can run adb and "mass-storage" simultaneously (and safely), this is something really new. But before fiddling with setprop, never saw such a thing.

OK, removed dashclock. After reboot, see if it is better.

lockclock is the original chronus.

clicking the clock on any of these should bring up alarms. CM has multiple-timezone clock pane as well, is that universal or just CM?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
Tried the latest "nightly." Offers to "fix root" which worked, had root on bootup. Unfortunately, I did not get my internal storage back like before. Also numerous "wait" messages even after a few reboots. The newer animation was fixed up nicely.

While up in this, tried a few things (watching internal storage to see if it went back up like before :)):

Also offered mass-storage and adb simultaneously! If I enable adb, I have one mountable folder, if not, two, so that is the answer.

Tried removing that dashclock. After rboot, clock still FCs when trying to view alarms, stopwatch, etc.

Tried gps test app, GPS always "off," even after making sure "location" was on (icon on quicksettings, no separate GPS icon). Same for "device only" and "high accuracy" settings.

Anyway, because of internal storage problem, trying to restore previous Omni which was OK. Unfortunately, like prevous CM-11 does not really restore nicely, re-optimizing apps (linked apps!!-uh oh.).

Came up with low-storage symbol. Trying link2sd. Symbol has dissappeared meanwhile! Link2sd got it back! Problems was 80 meg of apps being unlinked (enough room), not 120 meg dexes (foget it!). Additional observation, link2sd cleanup was much better behaved than with that nightly! So my Omni experiment can continue. For now, stay off those dl.omniarmv6 nightlies
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
GPS issue: Lib on cm-11, missing on omni /system/lib/hw/gps.default.so

Maybe try pushing it, see what happens.

Issues like dissappearing internal storage, app timeouts, missing GPS, bluetooth, and such, are to me, more important than a cuter animation and even open-delta. If the ROM is less than usable, a bit of aesthetic or OTA upgrades do not move me.

There are three or more threads where we discuss cm-11 and omni. I made this one so there would be a focus, hoping that the brave devs working on omni would look at it, maybe take it over. Seems that much beautiful fine development is progressing in a vacuum.

(Before saying: go do it yourself -- I have been unable to get a development environment operational on my 32-bit Debian box or I would certainly try!)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
Feature 4: Phonecall answer box. Instead of that animation which has been quite troublesome lately, missing calls waiting for it, Omni has simple answer/cancel box. OK, there is an app for this, but this works over lockscreen as well. Security concern: The background shown is the homescreen's not the lockscreen's.

GPS: Simply pushing that lib file did nothing. Not really expecting. Be there a setprop that would activate GPS?

Link2sd: This was not the case previously, but apparently for Kitkat-based ROMs, when the program's mount-script is generated matters. Discovered and advised on by mukulsoni on his cm-11 thread. So my old trick of placing a copy on /data/local/userinit.d/ is very inadvisable. Must manually go through the steps when flashing updated ROM. Needed to redo the version on my backup after yesterday's adventure, reboot as well. Nightlies might be OK flashing this way, may try.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
March 12 Nightly catastrophe. A very critical feature of Omni, since the flashing is without that adb umbilical. is that it has a real /etc/init.d capability. In other words, script there and also those I place in /data/local/userinit.d are definitely run on boot up. This may well be not functioning in the March 12 nightly.

I flashed, usual procedure of wiping dalvik, restoring sdext from backup since the dalvik wipe takes link2sd's as well, and then proceding the flash.

Comes up fine, run link2sd for mount scripts. This time, complained about write-only system so a adb remounted and then the mount scripts were successfully produced. Rebooted.

Now the fun begins. Link2sd's Achilles heel. After wiping dalvik, ALL the dexes must be rebuilt and if all those symlinked by link2sd will not all fit with internal data-space to spare, boom! So I have a script in /data/local/userinit.d/ to restore all the symlinks. With online adb, I can run this manually if need be. Not so with Omni. The version I am using the the previous nightly I tried both run that script on start so come up without problems. March 12 nightly did not run the script. No neat way to get back to recovery either, Omni apparently does not accept the three-button pattern! So I let it reboot, starting apps, reboot, start apps, until finally a lockscreen appeared. Opened the homescreen (everything was FCing because of lack of internal data space, of course), pressed the power button and was able to recover. (Too little data space to event try to run link2sd to fix.)

BTW, after successfully getting Omni up and running, complete with Xposed, the power switch, as will cm-10.2 and others before, becomes to finicky. Have to resort to quick-boot app to do these things.

I wish the Omni devs were monitoring these threads, but ...

Workaround, next try: Run mount-script, relinker manually before reboot or from recover.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
March 12 Nightly -- why did this happen?

I noticed no commits on Gerrit about not having full /etc/init.d operation or locking down system more strictly. So why did link2sd require intervention to be able to write its mount script? (Such a thing had reported sporadically on ROMs previously, however -- explanation?) And if the current Omni and previous nightles ran the userinit.d scripts, why not this one (possibly the read-only system defeated my tweaks but restoring the symlinks is on /data.)?

Maybe a fluke, try again?? Too disruptive if it recurs, but I can manually run the symlinker script easily enough.

On cm-10.2, I have tasker run the tweaks when it starts up, but will not help if system will be read-only even to root.

BTW, tweak scripts are:

Use iwconfig (which I manually place on system/xbin) to reduce WIFI xmit power to save battery.

Sysctl tweaks previously published on XDA for some battery savings and setting of minimum entropy (no need for seeder or crossbreeder for this!).

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
Attempt to flash the March 13 "Nightly."

Link2sd cannot make its mount script! Device busy, maybe ext4 not supported ... try fat32 on external ... Ridiculous. Have the device names been changed? How can an app be maintined chasing or moving target, huh? (Not a system space problem--have 14 meg free!)

What the heck is going on with these. I can install a previous one, say Mar 10, but if, indeed, as reported above, the OTA business is working (then why all the nightlies?), then there will only be OTA into trouble. As I said, I wish our brave devs were monitoring these threads!

The "non-dl...." build is running very very nicely.

SOLVED some problems on startup, deferencing of some symlinked apps: Do not have link2sd on the sdcard--startup timing problems. Place "on internal (phone)."

BUG: The damned clock! Might an older version work or is that indeed the problem?

BUG: Disappearing home screens in GEL -- though that was related to the "solved" issue. Nope. Likely not a ROM issue, but mentioning.

No, I had no hassles in installing Link2SD,straightforward. Only the timing, I suppose, may be the reason. That is to create the mount script well after getting the root privileges.

About OTA: Last time I installed the OMNI rom I did get a system update, and it just created a new update under sdcard/OpenDelta, and

Was the update TO 20140312 the problem (if so, what was problem)?

Or was the update FROM 20140312 to 20140313 the problem -- apparently, device names are changed: trouble!

Obviously, the ROM was trimmed. Did that effect the upgrade? Did the upgrade put back stuff you took off?

If these upgrades are generating full ROM zips, I do not see the point. One absolutely must do a backup before playing with any of this so going through the whole procedure anyway. If these are differences, update.zip, would make sense if it leaves the trimming alone, etc., but would still want to do that backup first. Would want to be able to upgrade without wiping dalvik or anything else. Otherwise, why bother?
