The Camera bug is not addressed to us. It was an issue with the Nexus 5 where for example skype would run the camera deamon and never stop it which drained the battery like hell. Our battery drain that we get sometimes is caused by google play services location access (with is fortunately easy to fix).

Currently building a test build of omni. Just pure walters source. If it works I'll add a few cherry-picks, mainly halo, because I REALLY want it :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Do I need those or can I continue with the 4.4.2 ones? They're still working for me. :o

Thanks a million, this fixed the issue. Looks like my searching skills are a bit retarded... lol. ;)

Now, let's give the latest nightly a try. 4.4.3... will report tomorrow
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sash89:
working like a charm 4.4.3 thank u very much guys...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] banciii:
Any noticable change with 4.4.3?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Check last page ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
hey pax...didnt you develope for DEFY back then!? I think I remember your ROMs were awesome, thank you!

So I guess its back to OMNIROM then...how do you guys do it? Use Walters hotplug kernel and latest nightly?!

How is the location drain fixed?

Thanks...

dan
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Nope, wasn't me :p I used to own a Xperia mini not defy and also I never developed ROMs before.

The nightlies include walter's kernel, since Walter is the maintainer for xperia V omni. So just flash the nightly build and you're good to go.

If you're talking about google play services drain, just get app ops from the play store and block wakelocks for googled play services and google search. That should do it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rinkulsk:
battery is draining alot on usage...

little bit laggy but its fast..

thank you for the rom developer.....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Primark:
Battery Drain

How much screen time do you get out of your xperia v? mine gets 2% battery drain per hour on idle and just 2hrs and 30min worth of screen time, If I browse the internet it will be a lot lesser...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
I do like the new 4.3.3, at least the visual tweaks of the dialer and the contacts. It is true that it is a bit laggy (maybe because I didn't do a clean install).

Battery drain is higher than walter79's HOME-made version -precisely why I am back to that one-.

Also, considering the Bluetooth issue is still not fixed, I rather have an older version that works well and is fast and has better battery life.

[MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION], I will wait until your new home version...!!!

Thanks for the great work. Keep it up!

:laugh:

Regarding the battery life. With the nightly 4.3.3 at night I got aprox 3% compared to 2% with walter's, and during day usage, around 6-8% and with walter's I get 4-5% depending on usage.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rinkulsk:
i have heavy usgae and battery drains fully in few hours...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Go to settings>Battery and tell me what the top 3 thing are that drained the battery

GUYS I DID IT. I built walter's omni with HALO and it's working :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Congradulations:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
I'll make a thread after some testing and if I have the permission to release a ROM based on Omni, because I'm not sure i may do that :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
[MENTION=4617455]paxy97[/MENTION] how about an omni Rom with theme engine and lockscreen notifications? Or dirty unicorns rom (still in your to-do list?)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
I have no idea how to add theme engine or lockscreen notifications, but I'll search around a bit :)

The dirty unicorn ROM is dirty and by that I mean to say that they've added one too many features and hacked it so that it works at least that's what it looks like to me. I've tried porting (not building from source), but didn't get it to boot. If I find the time, I'll donwload their sources and try building, but it's the final week of school for me and then SUMMER :D so I'm not sure if I can do it on time before I travel :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
Dirty [emoji23] thank you [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
HalOmni now available :), check the Forum.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Good news.

Now everything work.

Need someone for NFC testing.

Will upload new rom.

After some more tests we can have official support from Omni.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Awesome news... a new rom to test soon.

Looking forward to this new version!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I volunteer for NFC testing... And all else.

What do I need to do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Where is the link to the new rom? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Upload to Onedrive finished. Uploading to devhost too.

Edit: finished upload

No reboots today.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Going to give it a try later.

Is it stable enough? How are we doing with battery consumption?

I will report later with own testing.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] phhuang:
Just installed it and don't know how to enter Recovery?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Installed latest build, everything is ok and stable :cowboy:

Only problem is we don't have root access :confused:

To fix this, flash this via recovery :

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
I'm very excited [emoji41]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Is the battery life better compared to CM nightlies?:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Yes it is :victory:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I missed some features from Carbon and the Theme Chooser engine so much that I had to revert to my previous rom.. :(

Hopefully the new kernel source will soon be included in other roms as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I found a bug :

Active Display doesn't work properly :confused:

Sometimes screen won't turn on, sometimes screen turns on after a 8,9 seconds delay
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I can confirm that - the active screen is not always working, I could not isolate a way to reproduce the issue (yet)

Another (small) issue is that kill app with longpress back button requires a really long time to do its job.

Other than that this ROM is waaaay more stable than latest Carbon or AOKP, so i'm totally in for using it as my daily.

Many, many thanks to our awesome dev!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Enable developer option and press power button. "reboot recovery" or use terminal or adb shell with reboot recovery. Will try to fix this bug. I think wrong keycode on boot while pressing vol. down
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
well...

How is it compared to stock then?

Sorry for bothering though:p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
Same on CM11...you have to hold and hold and hold [emoji1]

[MENTION=1524351]alexbo[/MENTION]

Waiting for your Review [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Just wondering what might happen if one had a bootloop and wasn't able to enter recovery.. Would be quite an effort to revive the device. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Adb works everytime. check default.prop secure.adb=0
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
i will disable adb if recovery worked normal
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
uploading a new homebuild tomorrow. Rom with cpu hotplug and default interactive gov. New for testing rom is odexed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Ohh nice faster apps :). by the way [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION] why did they abandon the theme engine commit you linked me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rinkulsk:
screen-19

hay day-16

google service-15
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Yeah just as I expected. Go to settings>app permissions>find google play services and google search and disable wakelocks for both of them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Won't that disable CGM push notification services and Google Now notifications?

Of course, if they are not used it's ok, but if one likes to get notifications then one must think this thoroughly... it's as always: battery or functionality :(

I think that a 3000mA Mugen battery might provide both... is there anyone equipped with such a beast that would like to share his experience?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
How do you odex a sourcebuilt rom?

Do you create a tsubasa-user rom instead of a tsubasa-userdebug one?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
It wont disable notifications only prevent the app from keeping the device awake. As far as I know there is a notification handler that will still push notifications despite the blocked wakelock. I blocked the wakelock for fb messenger and still get notifications. I'm 99% sure that it's the same with Google Now
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
New Homebuild is online:

- Cpu hotplug enabled

- cpu gov interactive

- odexed rom

Mirror 1 (Dev-Host)

Mirror 2 (MS-onedrive)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Are the kernel sources for this homebuild on your github or only on your PC? I want to use them for my HalOmni ROM too :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Source on my git. Check 2nd post.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tiktok1:
I've been using the 27 May nightly Rom since its release.

I just wanted to say I'm very impressed. Its completely stable, no reboots, crashes, lockups or anything and has very good battery life!

Many thanks !!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Using your latest homebuild now for a few hours. Did a clean install to avoid issues and also to install latest gaps.

So far it is even fastest than your previous version, or that is my impression. (maybe the clean install helps).

Only issue besides the already known BT pair loss, is... none so far.

Will write back tomorrow to report new impressions.

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dyfk3l:
Oh no :(

This is still keeping me from changing to this ROM because I'm using two devices with BT regularly...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Me too - I use both a smartwatch and a bt headset on daily basis.

However, since I don't reboot my phone often (never had a random reboot with Omni), or needlessly toggle bluetooth, I only rarely need to go through the pair/repair procedure.

It's a small price to pay for the overall stability and battery life this ROM offers besides the latest OS improvements - but of course, your personal reasons take precedence to anyone else's opinion.

Just my 2 cents :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] whalesplaho:
can i get more screenshots please....... seems ima seeing great comments bout tha rom!!!

jux love stock way & also ll miss Xperia Xposed Module!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
XPOSED works fine, no problems.

Screenshots!? Its Android. No special theming, but you should try it, has some very useful features.

Yesterday night I switched back to OMNI from stock, very, very, very nice! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
This rom looks like any holo app does.. There is no theme chooser, but you can install Xtheme Engine and use Rizal Lovins Xperia Z1 theme. Also, there are lots of ported Z2 apps for any KitKat rom, so you won't miss anything. :)

Been using Omni for over a month now. It is completely stable and more bugfree than stock 4.3..

So, I do know that (for me), it was the right decision to go for an AOSP rom. :)

And, as you were asking for Screenshots, I have one for you :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] whalesplaho:
thanks so much guys.... love yur responses!!!

what of status bar, how does it look like & also yhu guys use xThemeEngine with Xposed but there re so many themes in tha forum, will dey work?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Statusbar is pretty much like cm, except that you customize it directly from the status bar. Themes should work and even if they dont there is a way to fix it, just google it. And please dont use tha thug language, some people can't read it ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
All Themes exept for those for new theme chooser will work, if ported using a certain tool (the one that paxy linked to in his HalOmni thread.)

However, there will be certain bugs with the themes - the more difference to stock theme, the more bugs will be there.

I was using Mianogen XTheme for several weeks without problems.. Now, I'm using MIUIv5 Dark, but I had to invest several hours to get it to work properly.

By the way, all ported Xthemes will work on this rom, no matter if they were originally built for Touchwiz or Xperia devices.

OmniROM only uses the holo theme, which is included in all of these themes.

So.. Don't worry bout that. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] whalesplaho:
Thanks guys.... So sorry bout the thug language, kinda of addicted!!!! :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
Maybe off-topic but I also beg you PLEASE dont use the thug language anymore its making me insane!!!!

Other than that the ROM is still stable, one little bug i found, when using "folders" in the systray/dock they sometimes appear to be transparent when opening them...

do you understand what i mean!?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Which launcher are you using?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
standard halo. I will try to make a screenshot when it happens
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
There you go...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Ehm sorry, but I'm still not sure what Launcher this is. Are you using Google now launcher (whe you swipe left go you get a Google search screen?) or omniROM's Launcher3
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
Hi all,

After 2 days of usage of version: "omni-4.4.3-20140608-tsubasa-HOMEMADE" , I want to say that stability and speed has improved. But one thing I have noted is that battery consumption is higher that previous homemade version (omni-4.2.2-20140523).

At night with deep sleep I used to get 2.5% now I am averaging 3.2%. It's not much (during the night) but at day times and with more usage, the average has gone from 3.5% to 5-6%.

I have greenified most non important apps (same ones as always since using XV)

Also in Apps Permissions I have unchecked "keep awake" on both Google Search and Google Play services.

But on battery consumption what takes more is now: "PHONE" with a 41% of the time... and I am not calling or being called at all at the moment.

I will reboot and keep testing if this is a recurring issue.

Has anyone noticed this? or is it only me?

Would be great-full for any suggestions

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Might be the "RilJ" wakelock..

I dont know a cause or fix right now tho. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
Yes RILJ is phone related, but I haven't seen it take a wakelock since the first nightlies of cm11. Don't block the wakelocks for phone or dialer in app permissions, because the phone will go to sleep while you are talking over the phone and break the line.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
RIJL is also my only strange wakelock, although i havent been called neither called anyone myself this wakelock is sitting there on #1

my battery life actually seems to be better, around 1-2%/h doing nothing. Havent tried it all night yet but i think its pretty straight forward...maybe you had bad reception that night!?

im sorry to confuse you, its the standard omniROM Launcher3!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheEdgeOfRage:
For the wakelock just try rebooting. Must be a failure in the RILJ service to release the wakelock.

About the Launcher, I don't know why it happens, but I use the Google now launcher, because I love Google now and accessing it fast is quite helpful sometimes :). Also if you don't like the GN launcher, because you can't customize it, there is an Xposed Module for that:

Xposed GEL Settings
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Theming with HK Theme Manger on my omni rom running xposed framework.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Doing the same. But HK is bugged, we need a native theme chooser :D

By the way, could you please tell me how to odex homebuilt roms? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
for odex use:

. /envsetup.sh

brunch tsubasa user -j4

and for deodexed

brunch tsubasa userdebug -j4

I am using this:

time bruch tsubasa user -j4

on my quad core cpu,

"time" is to check how long it take to compile the rom

-jX = max threads that you cpu can run at the same time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks! Thats exactly what I needed :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
After a couple of days of moderate and strong usage I can confirm that battery consumption, especially during usage is high! With some messaging it goes up to 6%/h ?

Also Standard governor wasn't set to interactive, but ondemand which surprises me because Walter announced in his changelog that it would be set to interactive...?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
That's the reason I just reverted back to the backup I made of Walter's previous Homemade version. Battery consumption is lower.

[MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION], hopefully you can find the cause of this higher battery consumption and maybe for the next Homemade we can enjoy our phones a bit longer without looking desperately for a USB plug.

Thanks for the great work, we look forward to your amazing future contributions!!!

:laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Two bugs I noticed concerns the audio playback, half of the times Apollo and google play music don't recognize headset or volume button commands and only execute them after you turn the screen on and on other moments the music playback hangs a few moments with a brrrrrrrr noise often heard when Windows crashes.

I'm currently using the latest homebuild ROM and i've tried a clean install of the ROM. Anybody else facing these problems?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Sounds like the known issue caused by CPU hotplug.

While it helps conserve battery it is known to impact music play.

A workaround is, if you use Poweramp, to enable the "use wakelock" option - that should help with screen-off music playback issues
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Just now I tried playing a song from bandcamp in chrome while keeping the chrome app open with screen on and it still gave those buzzing sounds. Haven't tried poweramp yet, but is there possibly another fix? I've never had this problem with another ROM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
I am sorry but I don't know of another fix.

I am myself on official Omni nightlies where this issue never happens.

You could collect a logcat while the problem occurs and upload it to pastebin, maybe our dev here Mr. Walter can take a look at it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Try setting both of your cpu core governors to interactive and see if it helps.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
If someone has battery drain problems with my latest homebuild use a newer dialer.apk from official build. (delete apk and odex file). You can set CPU gov to ondemand too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
Hi guyz

im trying to compile a rom based on Omni, and with different device trees/blobs (i mean omni's official and these forked from walter79 repos)

and still same thing for mint hayabusa and tsubasa

pastebin link here

any advices?

thanks a lot by advance...:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
use omnirom /hardware/qcom... source
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
ok thanks a lot, will give a shot later on tonight.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
New homebuild online.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Setting the CPU governors to interactive fixed the problem and it now always recognizes the button input. A problem I now also ran into twice is the fact that at night during charging my phone has a SOD. Switched to latest nightly but it isn't fixed there either. I am now downloading the new homebuild, but due to the fact that I need an alarm tomorrow morning, I was wondering if some of you know the name of the app which prevented the phone from deep sleeping and in doing so prevents the SOD. I tried searching in the List of Firmwares thread where I thought I saw it, but I can't find it....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
hey!

thanks for the advice I tried it yesterday but was very much in a rush, received force close massacre after replacing phone.apk - probably fixing perms ions would have made a difference.

today i updated to new home build. no problems so far but battery life is still not good. Do we have to replace phone.apk on this one too? Oh and another thing, the power amp brrrrr sound problem occurs also with power amp wake lock activated and on any governor. I am not sure if it is even hot plug related. It might have something to do with the phone changing mobile connections because it seems to occur a lot especially when coming into urban areas (e.g. switching cells)

Anyways, thanks again for your effort and time!

BTW: SOD never occurred to me…
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rob rich:
You mean "Safe charge"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
That would also make sense, today i only tested at home, while all the other times I tested on my bike while cycling between two city's.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
putting it on "flight mode" should solve the problem then...will try tomorrow on the train!

cheers

EDIT; Another bug for me. When rebooting the launcher regularly forgets the widgets, pages and icons I put on there. Sometimes a whole page is missing, somtimes it only forgets a few icons...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Slept at home again with original Sony charger, first night without SOD. Could it be the charger? It's just a brandless 1.8A charger... Will test with flightmode today, see if that helps.

EDIT: Tested today without flight mode: Apollo without wakelock CPU governor interactive nightly 20140614 and not a single error with music playback, though button recognition seems buggy and will work sometimes, but other times the commands just queue and get excecuted when screen is turned on.

Edit2: just tries poweramp again, clean install and music hangs even when scrolling trough the app, Apollo is noise free. Can't take a logcat currently, but nothing seems to fix poweramp ( tried wakelock, CPU governor, audio thread priority, audio buffer size ). Sticking with Apollo for now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
After some testing on latest nightly:

With governor set to interactive, Apollo has no buzz noises, poweramp has. Using the wakelock or changing the audio buffer doesn't help. In both Apollo and poweramp sometimes button commands only get excecuted when the screen is turned on, before screen wake they all queue up and get excecuted at once.

With the governer set to ondemand, both apps have buzz noises and queue button commands.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] walter79:
Can you change /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm2

use the one from a sony 4.3 or cyangenmod 4.4.3
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Reflashed ROM with snd_soc_msm2x replaced with stock 4.3 sony. Ondemand governor, noop I/O, no wakelock nor extra audio buffer: Poweramp buzz when stationary in my room is gone, button commands seem to be properly excecuted. Will test on a bike later tonight to see what happens.

Edit: tested on bike, not a single error in audio playback or button recognition :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Had to do some Fieldwork today, with latest nightly i had an accuracy of 650m where other people had 6m
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HenkeZan:
Hi. Yeah, I've had GPS issues since Sony upgraded stock to 4.3. That is why I left stock and switched to omnirom (I do not regret it btw, this rom is awesome). But, I still have GPS issues. Mostly use Waze. Have uninstalled Google maps/check app permissions etc since I read these things could cause issues. Running "GPS test" software besides Waze. Sometimes it works, but mostly it may get a fix, but looses it quite fast, and takes forever to regain it (if it manages before battery runs out ;). Waze bails out mostly because of accurancy being to far off if I interpret waze logs correct.

/HenkeZan
