I guess most users who switched to omni from pac will agree with me.

Subject - Decisions decisions and decisions

After shifting to omni due to the constant lagginess and redrwal atrocities , the first thing that blows your mind is the speed of omni rom. No redrwals, great gaming and multitasking performance , the rom seemed to be "the one" . "But" after a few days of usage you come to realise that the rom is bare bones , not even a good old heads up notification or halo. Yes ik it is done to keep the rom light but still, it was a shock to me . Next , the highly criticised themes , i personally never had issues with cm11 themes (see- only install compatible themes) so it was a definate off for me too. Oh and the tinted bars are just great (omni feature) . Yes u can get them with xposed modules too but try using tint of omni and you'll notice the differnce right away. All in all, both of these roms are great on their own and id like to thank [MENTION=2988582]NexusPrime[/MENTION] for them , without his support we would be doomed.

Thanking you

Yours sincerly,

Confused flasher

Edit: back to pac build 6 and facing redraws
[Xperia SP General] thewild:
True, but you can get heads up notifications as an app, no need to have this built in the ROM.

IMHO, everything that can done by apps should be left out of ROMs.
[Xperia SP General] millikp:
I meant to write a "strikedthrough not". It is because I am loving your PA that I am having second thoughts about switching, explains the "strikedthrough not". PA is simply, simplicity at best. I hope I get to love your OMNI more. Will be back for feedback. Good job on your roms mister. :good:
[Xperia SP General] nasroed:
Lol.. Confused flasher..

Agree with u. Omni better than any other ROM. I swear.. Multitasking speed, just awesome. But something which make me more amaze with this ROM is its ram.

Maybe halo & heads up notif is easy to find in exposed. But, how do u find cm11 theme engine in exposedI'v

I've try xtheme, but it hopeless. Its only support cm10 theme engine.

For [MENTION=2988582]NexusPrime[/MENTION], is it possible to add cm11 theme chooser to omni in the future? Or do u have a plan for it?
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
No plan for theme chooser in omni by me. If omni team does it, I'll add it.
[Xperia SP General] ironshadow2:
Guys, there is an xposed module called xthemer if you want some themes for omni ROM.
[Xperia SP General] millikp:
Yea that. Too bad it's not compatible with ART.

Anyway, here's a brief feedback on OMNI.

I've been using OMNI(ART as runtime, latest nightly) for quite some time now. The fastest rom I have tested yet. So far, no random reboots and force closes yet. I hope there would be none. Volume is great, even better than stock. RAM management is superb. Even without greenify, I managed to have almost 300mb of free ram most of the time. Can't tell about the battery yet. I need more time for that.

Bugs I found:

Screen-off Animation stays fade out even after changing the settings to scale down or electron beam

Cannot reboot to recovery using the reboot in power menu

Google camera does not have HDR (I had HDR on your PA rom with the same version of Google camera)

All in all, this is the rom to go, at least for me. Thank you so much for this wonderful rom [MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]. Keep it coming bro. Surprise us.:good:
[Xperia SP General] lvints:
[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]

This is good news, right?
[Xperia SP General] ironshadow2:
I'm using omni ROM and it is already super fast without art.

And art sometimes make the ROM slower. Like when I choose a contact in Skype it takes some time to open.
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
Dsb would be implemented in pacrom now :)
[Xperia SP General] drheu:
After two days on Omni Rom i can say, that it's the fastest rom i had so far (and i used almost all of them).

Haven't found any bug and the battery life is awesome (even better than on stock) :good:
[Xperia SP General] racastro:

[Xperia SP General] robahme:
What does 'its paranoid turn' mean? [MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Actually nexus maintain 3 ROM (PA PAC and omni) and compile new version on a single ROM at turn every few day. The next ROM update in list will be anyway PA so he'll add DSB in a few day
[Xperia SP General] robahme:
Ok thx ? [MENTION=5358661]Cornhelius[/MENTION]

Why I can't change dalvik to art in Omni? When I choosing art and and pressing OK, phone is rebooting and after boot, it's again chosen dalvik.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
You must have some app incompatible with art..or xposed..I'm on omni and I using art since the first day without any problem
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Are you using Xposed?

Hi Nexus Prime, please reverted to the source-built RIL on PA like on CM11 MrSteve555, i have problem on PA with data, but all is fixed on latest CM11 build.

Thanks.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Xperia SP General] KillerMarcin:
Yes, I'm.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
So that's the problem..art and xposed are incompatible..you need to uninstall it to use art

[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION] , help me pals..

In paranoid Nexus rom, why I cannot see my original SD card contents. Looks like it has been formatted. Yeah I see the content actually, but just Android folder inside. Whereas in CWM & other ROM, evrything is fine and content is showing. So, it's not formatted.

Why is it? I'm already try force media scanner, trickstermod media scanner, all I get was just the same. Didn't worked.

1. Does it related to sd card format?

2. Btw now I'm in omni, but where is keyboard cursor control enabler for simplify editing text?
[Xperia SP General] Nathan rd:
2. Keyboard cursor control in navigation bar is not their in omni (cm feature ! ) volume button cursor control is there
[Xperia SP General] hellegy:
I want say thank you about Omni on our Xperia SP. So smooth than I rediscover my phone and it's the first time I see 350Mo free after I installed all my apps.

The battery life is the same than in different stock based roms)

[Xperia SP General] millikp:
Hey guys, I'm having battery drain issues with the latest OMNI nightly. Did you leave the performance tab untouched or you did some tweaks? HELP! I left mine untouched. And I'm on ART.
[Xperia SP General] ehsan rajabi:
question

hi

pls sb list all the differences BTW P.A.C and omni . what does it have more or less ?

how is battery ... :confused:

im on latest PAC and happy with the features and smoothness . . .

:good:
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
PAC - lots of bits of different ROMs so a ton of features but the base is CM.

Omni - Not based off CM has its own features (omniswitch and DSB), no CM theme chooser.

If you like PAC's features then stick with it in my opinion, I tried both and went back to CM but am eagerly awaiting the next PA release.
[Xperia SP General] drheu:
Nope, haven't done any performance tweaks. Besides that I'm using greenify with xposed.

Have you already checked what's causing the battery drain?
[Xperia SP General] millikp:
Well, Mediaserver and Android System win with 21% each, Summoners' War and screen falling behind with 15% only. Before when I was using PA, screen has always the highest battery usage. If I don't fix this problem, I might revert back to PA, or try PAC. Omni is such a great rom, the fastest I have ever used in fact. But I can't stand to use my power bank 3 hours sooner than the usual.
[Xperia SP General] Treboeth:
Do you have greenify with system apps greenified?

Have you disabled Play services location access?

My screen 36% & play services 9% media server 4%.

A full day useage screen time of about 5 hours leaves me with about 35% battery left.
[Xperia SP General] millikp:
Yes I have greenify. But no, I haven't greenified system apps such as play services. Since I'm using ART, I won't be able to do so because that needs xposed framework to be installed. And as of now, xposed framework is not compatible with ART.
[Xperia SP General] Treboeth:
Greenify system apps does not require closed but is part of the donation package.

Plus go into settings/app permissions/play service deny permissions for location and keep wake this should help with battery drain.
[Xperia SP General] millikp:
Okay, I'm doing that now. Thanks for the help. I'll be back if problem still occurs. Thanks

If I remember correctly, Omni isn't based on CM right? Is there anyway to edit the files on system to increase touch sensitivity?

I guess you could always edit build.prop, but I haven't really looked into it. Try the app. I've been using it to increase screen sensitivity on Omni with no issues at all

I am also looking forward, but we need to wait a bit to build one rom and uploading takes a while. I think the wait will be worth it, since it will come with several updates. (DSB :victory:)
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
internet has been **** for past couple of days so source hasnt been synced yet. Once its synced, i have to update the tree then build n upload. I know its been so long... But its all for PA.

If ppl want PAC or OMNI, i can do it right now, but that will delay PA even more.
[Xperia SP General] kanav96:

Also, it would be possible which pac team introduces dsb too when dsb will be merged by pa.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Not merged, but we can cherry pick from aospa framework. Lets hope the source is synced today. I also think its been way too long.

Why Titanium Backup say me that ? + PIE control

Hello.

Your ROM is really awesome :D but I have two problems :

- why Titanium say me that and how to resolved that ?

- I activated the PIE controls but I would replace the navigation bar by these PIE. How to do ? :)

Thank's you and sorry for my bad english. :o
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
Just one thing:

since last build

pac -> more than 50 news merged commits in gerrit.

PA -> less than 10 news merged commits in gerrit...

So the update is most important for pac rom.
[Xperia SP General] Prat92:
Just ignore the warning Titanium Backup and click Ok. It doesn't cause any problem.

To use only pie controls the best solution is probably to enable expanded desktop. This won't disable the notification and navigation bars but would keep them hidden until you swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
[Xperia SP General] prabhav.3892:
pac won't offer any distinguising feature while we wanted these 2 pa features since they were announced.
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
Maybe but DSB and recents aren't merged !
[Xperia SP General] Dammer Martins:
I agree with you!
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
As Nexus has said they can be cherry picked, anyway theres no point arguing over which ROM goes first its down to Nexus and I believe hes following his schedule (i.e. PA)

Hehe, but I would really like an omni update if possible. :p
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Good new all. Net is working now. Current Status

Paranoid - Sources synced and tree updated. All goodies, FM, touch etc etc included. Build in progress. Upload tonight

PAC - Sources synced. Trees a little behind, without FM and other latest CM11 updates. Build just after Paranoid.

Omni - Sources synced. Trees a little behind, without FM and other latest CM11 updates. Build after PAC.

Some people saying dsb n card stack recent are lagging. Listen, u all asked for it. If u say, ill remove it from next update. Just PA source.

Internal storage is not avaialable. Just like CM11 by bagyusz. THe whole internal is now for apps installation. Use SDCARD for other stuff. This is so that internal can be used to install large apps.

DSB and recents are option, users who don't want these ones can deactivate these ones... so no problem, no reason to remove...

Concerning internal storage, this benefits for gamer... not for others, also an option to transfer app to sdcard will be more usefull.

Could you explain a little bit bettee plz ??
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
So, when you use pa immersive mode for the first time it proposes you to use pie control in this mode. You probably say yes. For reset this, go to general settings menu, you find an item named "backup and reset" or something looks that, press it, then you find a way to reset your choice.

slimrom is the faster rom with my prefered option (not too much, justthe right things, but not theme engine), also omnirom is a smooth rom.

For option, you can use pacrom, i use it and with little tweak it is very fast and it have good multitasking, no lags.

Paranoid is also a good rom, but it has the same fluidity than pacrom with less feature...

Also, are there any plans to bring the changes to internal SD card storage to PAC rom? I hope not, personally, as I use it for video recording and photos, or will that still be viable?

Lastly,I noticed that one of the CM or PA variants has SD from PC (mass storage mode) available now. Is that something likely to find its way to PAC?

Cheers!
