Tinted status bar still needs some fixing. I'll apply led fix soon.

in open delta folder there's a folder called flash after update ,you can place there the zip to flash automatically after update
I know that, I'm trying to fix so that it'll be preserved after update.

I've some other problem i noticed: when i try to unlock the phone i have to push the button two times, because the first time, the screen doesn't wake. And, when i put in the headphones, "sistem" seems to stop working... this advice appears often.
I hope you can fix this problems, if i can help with something, don't exitate to ask me :)

Give me a logcat so that I can find the issue. I don't have headphones right now.

ok, testing more and more times this error, i can describe what happens exactly... so... i put in the headphones and the system seems to be more laggy, in particular, when i try to increase the volume, the touchscreen stop working and, after some seconds, the screen turns off. Then i can't wake the phone for 10 - 20 seconds. Music reproduction, however does not work at first, when i put in the headphones, but after waiting a bit, it starts working. As i said, sometimes appears an advice that tells me that the "system" seems to don't work and asks me if i want to wait or to end the process...

oh, i also noticed an omx error in the log and in the other logs i've done, can it be the cause of this problem?

And, yes, the problem also persist with poweramp

Build 3 is released. Use OpenDelta to update the rom or you can manually download from the link provided in the OP.

NOTE: You'll lost root after OpenDelta update. So you need to flash SuperSU again. One workaround is to keep the SuperSU.zip in the Opendelta->FlashAfterUpdate folder, so that opendelta can flash it right after updating.

Changelog Build 3 [2014-10-16]
- Fixed battery led in offline charging
- Added fix for InCallUI in memory
- Disabled JIT for better performance in lower memory device
- updated omni & twrp sources

It's great! Good work, man... but for me open delta it's not working, and you probably forget illumination bar fix ;)

What does opendelta show when you check for update? Can you give me a log? Did OD cause problems before or only for this update? I'm also updating via OD and it works fine for me.

About Illumination fix, Omni have quite different implementations than other custom roms. So I need to fix it in another way, it's gonna take some time.

it checks for updates, then appears a charging bar that reaches the 100% in some seconds and nothing happens (after this process re-appears "The system is up to date"). The log is in the attachments and it's not the first time when i notice this problem :(

ok, i will wait for the fix :)

hmm, I forgot that debugging is disabled in OpenDelta :eek:. Anyway looks like you've problems from the beginning. Do you have slow connection? Cause I've updated my device twice with OD to make sure it works.

I'm here, again, to talk about some other problems i noticed: first, a graphic bug, with the active display... don't know if anyone noticed this... then, some times, when i reboot my phone in recovery (probably when it's charging, but i'm not sure), it turns off, but after this, it doesn't boot. The third problem is a lighting problem: sometimes, when I decrease it at minimum, i use the phone in this way for some time and, then, i return at my normal level, it bugs (after locking and unlocking the phone, the lighting is at minimum once again).

If you need log for something, just tell me ;)

1) yes, ActiveDisplay layout is bugged. It's omni issue, I'll try to fix it.
2) this problem occurred to me in every rom I've used so far. It's random, so I still didn't able to get a log. For now I use only "Power Off" option. If you can get a log during the shutdown, post it here.
3) Don't know about this one. Logs might be helpful.

    What is OmniROM?

    Code:
    [COLOR="Teal"]#include[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]<std_disclaimer.h>[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Red"]/*
    * Your warranty is now void.
    *
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */[/COLOR]

    ~General Information~

    Welcome to my first custom rom project. As I said before, I've decided to work on OmniROM to make it my daily rom. I'm also submitting fixes in omni gerrit and some have been successfully merged. This is mainly a personal project, but I'll post updates here so that you can try it out. So don't expect to get updates in every week ;)

    ~Features~

    HTML:
    Highly customizable device settings with OmniGears
    
    Highly customizable recent apps panel with OmniSwitch
    
    Contextual header image in notification drawer
    
    Active Display Notification (experimental)
    
    Tinted Status Bar (work in progress)
    
    Non-intrusive InCall UI
    
    Built-in Performance Control

    ~Installation~

    OmniROM doesn't come with prebuilt root access. So you have to flash SuperSU from Chainfire. Also use PA Gapps from TKruzze. Links are given below. Download all including rom and follow the instructions.
    • Copy SuperSU, Gapps and OmniROM zip to your SDCard
    • Boot into recovery
    • Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
    • Goto Mount and uncheck system
    • Flash the OmniROM.zip
    • Flash PA Gapps and SuperSU
    • Reboot your device
    First boot takes some minutes. Wait patiently.

    ~Recommendations~
    • Use any third party launcher cause stock launcher sucks. (I'm using Nova)
    • After booted, goto Settings->SuperSU. A popup will be displayed to install backup script, say yes. Then switch to settings tab of SuperSU, scroll down and check if "Install SuperSU backup script" has been grayed out. If not, select it to install the script again. This maybe required during opendelta updates, I'm still testing.
    • Don't delete the omnirom zip file otherwise you've to download the whole rom again via opendelta. I'll try to provide updates by OD cause it'll be more efficient.

    ~Bugs~

    - Same bugs as other roms (a2dp, radio, omx, wifi direct). I'll try to fix as much as I can.

    About OpenDelta Update

    For OpenDelta updates, you must have the first builds' zip file in the sdcard. OpenDelta finds new updates and patches the first build with latest changes. Then it creates a new flashable uncompressed zip file in the OpenDelta folder. After that, it reboots into recovery and flashes that zip file.

    If you don't have the first build in your sdcard, opendelta will download the whole rom which'll be time consuming. So don't delete it.
