Really looking forward to trying Omni, their lockscreen notifcations in PAC were great and this sounds very good too.

[Xperia SP General] kanav96:
downloading currently , would be checking in a few hours
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Recent working builds of all 3 roms are up there in my MEGA.

Building a fresh version of OMNI right now. But the one already there works just fine.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!j8xC1aYK!067WCIDk5g3OKf9mXFpEzA

And FYI... omni doesnt have themes support yet. so dont ask that question. However its quick tiles are dual purpose like paranoid, but you can flick/swipe to change function.

Don't ask change log. Just source updates

Tell me if the latest build has this already. Dont know whether the mega folder was updated after I flashed it. :p

[MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION] can you also update the recovery to latest CWM? Just asking. BTW the OMNI runs awesome without a lag!! :D
[Xperia SP General] codeknight11:
As far as my knowledge says, Omni never had a themechooser and will never have one. Omni is totally against CM team so they won't use anything that is CM related. They might create their own theme engine but they wont use CM Theme Engine

[Xperia SP General] flamingwolf:

however, i found out that CWM touch is accessible, via vol-down button before the bootanim. maybe only the root that's broken. thanks nexus for your omni builds, the colored bars feature is sick! :)
[Xperia SP General] jghiya:
I am currently downloading omni thank you nexus prime so much for ur hard work and precious time I just have one q though which GAPPS must be used with omni?

EDIT:PARANOID GAPPS ARE COMPATIBLE :D
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
PA gapps are pretty much the best around, id recommend them for all ROM's.
[Xperia SP General] codeknight11:
All those who want to try out the coloured bars feature on other roms. Search for 'Tinted status bar' in xposed repository and download it. Looks great. Gives a android L/HTC sense feel.
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
depends what you want. I use minimal x+ (link in sig) on many roms, seems working fine
[Xperia SP General] ironshadow2:
Omni so far is really good, it is faster than PAC and PA and great battery life for me.

24 hours since I fished it. Battery percent was 84 when I Flashed it, now it's 40, I did not connect it to the charger.

I did 1 reboot. Screen time on is 3 hours.

This is very stable ROM.

I down side of this rom that It does not have many features. But I prefer it on other roms because of the performance. (It is really good and I'm not using ART)
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
So are we ready for an omni thread???[emoji6]
[Xperia SP General] Amotefaena:
i think so
[Xperia SP General] Silver Wx:
The next build of pac Will ne based on cm11 m11 snapshot source?
[Xperia SP General] codeknight11:
Yup. I've always used omni on my Nexus 4. Omni is basically performance oriented and the developers don't add gimmicky features that affect performance. One of the smoothest roms around, I say. What else would you expect from a rom whose developers include android lords like chainfire? ;)
[Xperia SP General] ironshadow2:
Yea.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Why why why you ask this. I really have no idea. These customs are chained like below:

AOSP google - > CM11 - > All the kangs (PA, PAC, AOKP,etc etc)

Some maybe like this:

AOSP google - > OMNI.

See here. They dont use CM or cyanogenmod trees.

https://github.com/omnirom/android/blob/android-4.4/default.xml

On the other hand, PAC uses cm trees a plenty:

https://github.com/PAC-man/pacman/blob/pac-4.4/default.xml

Now please, don't confuse these things.

@ all

1. No changelog, just zips.

[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Just thought I'll mention this. There seems to be a problem with the .207 kernel. Dunno if anyone encountered this there seems to be this random freezing of the screen and the screen contrast just increases like it's gonna blank out and returns after that. Its very annoying. Anyone encountered this? Doesn't happen on Doomkernel V13 which is based on a earlier version. Anyone had any idea what went wrong or any way to fix this? I've been having this for some time alr.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
What ROM?? In omni whit .207 i didn't have any freeze..on lbl
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
This is not the problem with the Rom. Its the kernel. Happens on stock, PA, PAC and Omni if I use the .207 kernel. The freezing is like a the screen suddenly becomes very saturated in the colour. And doesn't work for like 2s before it continues working as usual.
[Xperia SP General] ParanoidNemo:
Have you try to reflash the kernel? I really didn't have any issue with .207. The problem appear randomly??
[Xperia SP General] rdlegy:
It is from the phone. I had it a few times too on fully stock.
[Xperia SP General] Fat_boy555:
Yes. Random. And only with .207 not with prior versions. And reflashing is of no use. Tried it alr.
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
similar symptoms apperas on my SP too with pac and williams v7
[Xperia SP General] codeknight11:
I have those freezing issues on .205 too

Dont worry. Its ok. Factory resets are only needed when you switch base ROMs. like omni to pac to para to aokp to cm etc etc.
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
Ok. So I have been on OMNI since the first build. Here's a review:

1. No FC yet.

2. No random reboot.

3. With greenify and debloating, I have around 491mb free ram. Games are smooth (I play clash of clan mostly)

4. Sound is loud. And by loud, I really mean it. I think the speaker distorts sometimes due to the loudness. Headset buttons are recognized.

5. The status bar coloring is awesome. However the new commits will make it even more awesome since the coloring extents to the notification shade and the quick settings.

To sum up, this is a bomb of a rom! :D

Thanks [MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION]. Awaiting the new build with the more awesome status bars
[Xperia SP General] prabhav.3892:
What about battery?
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
Well its good. I played 2 hours clash of clans and talked for 2 hours. Total screen on time was 3 hours. After 11 hours,the battery was at 20% and I had started from about 87%. 3g on and WiFi on for the whole time. Stock kernel settings.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

no theme engine as omni team is against it. to be honest, it was the thing that caused most of the system ui crashes imo and wallpaper crashes. omni is minimal and you can always used xposed for anything else.
[Xperia SP General] nasroed:
Hmm. I see now.

Yea, actuallly most of my time along with my lovely CM, annoying system ui crashed was frequently full filing our story day by day.. See my post, few of it was just complaining about systemui crash..

And, about superuser, do I need push it manually? Given that I can't see superuser option in omni??

So I think this is a bug. But the wifi does not work when bluetooth is on/connected.

I have a fitness band and wifi just refuses to connect or if it does then it does not work. As soon as I switch off bluetooth everything is fine.

I am on OMNI rom latest release.

Edit:

Found a way around this. This specifically happens when I use BLE device like fitbit. What needs to be done is to switch off auto update in the app and every time you update, you need to go into the bluetooth settings and hit the search for devices button. After that wifi starts working again.
[Xperia SP General] le grande magnetto:
get yo own omni thread.
[Xperia SP General] sarkar1990:
Yes. Just flash the latest superSU and you should be fine.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
I think we can do that, about the gain settings permanent. Rear mic, i'll have to check. It was posted by another dev, and i just added it without much research. I think we'll fix the gain as well.

Is touch responsiveness ok? And games performance in b#8?

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Ok, mine was PA 4.43 and new features are in 4.5 Alpha 1... Maybe i'll release 4.5 version too, but with Alpha tag.
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Nice job Nexus, installing now. How alpha is the alpha? Is it just the task switcher thats possibly going to break?
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
About the rear mic - I did a lot of research about this, and currently there is no way to change the gain of the mic (btw two mics' volume is set to 100%, so we really can't do anything about it). And I heard that for adfad and uberlaggy it's a low priority bug.

If you want a huge volume boost:

Download this: https://mega.co.nz/#!CUASBRKC!qIj3aZYqNI-TEoue1Ka0_oJ79cy9-jSI_r7c5z6NGOM

Copy it to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm ans set permissions as -rw -r -r

Also, if you prefer using alsa mixer, look into the General section - there is a thread with a script that will make the changes persistent.

Btw, call volume isn't low, it's normal, because we don't have xLoud on AOSP-based ROMs.

Also - this is the feedback that devs are looking for. :) It made me smile a little after comparing it to feedback of some user that said "omg pa is sh*t you can't change the quicksettings lol"

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Yep, everything other than taskswitcher should be fully working in 4.5.
[Xperia SP General] abbas_2010:
when i go to game soft key will be hidden!!!

do i can to be change this mod?
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
Will this sound mod be included in the next build?

Ahh nice, will be good to see it. Hopefully it wont be horrible like slimkats version was.

Really do appreciate both of your efforts to give us these updates and fixes. Keep it up!
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
I'll answer you in the same way you asked:

That's so bad!!!! You get more screen size for gaming, that's really unfortunate!!!

Tip: Swipe up from the side of the screen, and nav bar comes up. You can't change that behavior in KitKat.

1. I don't think so. The volume is really loud(too loud, there are distortions when using 100% of volume), and believe me, no one wants another users crying about distortions. So this mod is only for people that want it.

2. If you liked Chrome tab switching, you'll also like the new PA task switching :good: It's basically the same.
[Xperia SP General] Oblox:
1. Ahh ok I dont want too loud with distortions, I can live with it as is.

2. Sounds nice, I look forward to it.

Thanks again.

[MENTION=5451821]MetalOllie[/MENTION]

Could you test this: https://mega.co.nz/#!6Ng2wDRB!YU6o1WNaNr6Q5HWlsho-aCd5WJrvVLtfOQ3acSH9AXY. Paste it to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm, and set permissions as -rw -r -r. It should boost the speaker and earpiece volume + increase the gain of both speakers(found a method to do that:))
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
Will do, thanks.. Will report back shortly!
[Xperia SP General] ak.akshay:
Do you get the same errors with stock 205 kernel? Its fine for me and many others.[/QUOTE]

yes stock one is working perfect no problem with that
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
That's a definite improvement! It's more noticeable on the "ear speaker" but still works well with loudspeaker as well, and negates the need to use Alsa. If I'm brutally honest, it could still do with being a touch louder, on both, but that's more a product of my lousy hearing than of the modification. ;)

It's made the rom a workable daily driver for me, so it's certainly doing something right, thanks!

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Touch is very responsive.. no problems on that score. I don't really use it for intensive gaming, so can't comment on gaming performance. It does pull a respectable 21,000 on AnTuTu, and the graphics testing part is very smooth with no lagging, ghosting or rendering issues. If someone could suggest a (free) game that's quite graphics intensive, I'll happily test it and report back.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Have you tried the mics?

Because I adjusted the gain of them. :)
[Xperia SP General] MetalOllie:
I have now.. Didn't realise that was included! There's a huge difference, most notable in the front mic, although the rear is certainly picking up over longer distances. I'd venture that rear could be increased more, but the front is spot on. It's nice to have a functioning set of mice on a 4.4 build.. Nice job mate, thanks! :good:

That's why I missed the mics.. You referred to them as speakers in your post.. Did wonder how speakers would have increased gain! :p
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Maybe we can increase the gain of the rear mic, I tried some values but the larger ones were just making a whooshing sound... It definitely can be increased more, but it's just a safe value I found.

Oh, and I've just noticed my post with "changed speaker gain". That happens when I think about 2 things, and write 3 things simultaneusly.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
So now with additional testing and help from [MENTION=4291029]peters.[/MENTION], now I present you all the 'final' mod:

https://mega.co.nz/#!6AoChB6A!3Et4uy50OFcLiXMekWW7MAE2Cp4nsBvduqGquI81hME

Paste it to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm and set perms as -rw -r -r

Things changed:

- proper Earpiece volume boost

- increased gain for rear mic and decreased gain for front mic

- overall cleanup
