What is OmniROM?

A new Android custom rom has been announced at the BABBQ (Big Android BBQ) by @XpLoDWilD, @Chainfire, @Dees_Troy & Team. For more information go to omni rom's site: http://omnirom.org/

This is Unofficial build compiled by me! I'll try to do daily releases until Omni team releases stable official builds! Also I have began compiling the ROM's with the latest Linaro 4.7 toolchain and -O3 flags with Bulletproof kernel. Thanks to @scrosler, @jakdillard, @DJLamontagneIII for all of the information and tips on building ROMs and @flar2 for letting me use his kernel, and finally thanks to @2jzmoe for testing out the initial builds.

No problem. You do a great job.

You need to open bools.xml in the text editor of your choice. You're looking for the line that says
<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>

There is a change in bool.xml - included in framework-res.apk needed. All you need to do is change false to true, so you should end up with
<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>

After that you can install some less apk to have native SMS on deb again.

new update is up lots of new features, change log in post #2

link: http://d-h.st/zr4

Looks good and no errors or force closes but I'm getting pretty bad battery life. Currently at 40% used in only 15 hours with less than an hour screen time and using wifi. Bbs screener attached. This is after setting up everything and first full charge.

As a reference, using stock 4.4 Rom previously would last at least 3 days with the same usage.

Thanks for the feedback! not too sure what to do to make better i think maybe its the sweep 2 wake functions causing that as well I noticed live wallpapers chewed up the battery as well. I'll take a look and see what I can find no guarantees though

Forgot about s2w etc as I use a case with the magnet. Assume bulletproof has no config so I could install the full elementalx and disable that stuff to see if it helps.

I disabled the live wallpapers at the start and never use them anyway. So won't be that in my case.

Also don't have any partial or kernel wakelocks over about 3 mins so the thing is sleeping fine. Must be Wi-Fi on 100% but don't recall if stock Rom did the same thing?

using trickster you can disable s2w functions or a text editor will disable it. the only thing bulletproof does offer is adjustable clocks speeds. Finally from what i recall Wi-Fi is on 100% in stock roms

I'll try that next. Currently charging it up to test what happens if WiFi is set to turn off when sleeping. Because of lte, have to do airplane mode first then turn WiFi back on otherwise during sleep, WiFi shuts off and 4G kicks in which probably uses more battery.

Looks quite good. SMS features are available. Thx. :good:

Only one hint: BasicSmsReceiver.apk is not needed if CellBroadcastReceiver.apk is also added for the SMS feature.

dre, my idea didn't yield any better battery life. I then tried disabling s2w and still no difference.

Going to install stock rom to get some better baseline figures and try again as I like the rom. :thumbup:

Sorry to hear that its not working out...if you think its kernel related I could build one with stock kernel instead but to be honest I don't know how much of a difference it would make as bulletproof kernel is basically stock with s2w and d2tw functions :/

Nah I wouldn't bother as I agree that the bulletproof kernel shouldn't cause any adverse effect. I've installed the stock 4.4.2 ROM and wil let it run a day or so to get a proper baseline with some BetterBatteryStat dumps then try yours again and compare. See if I can find where the extra drain is attributed to.

dre1187 have compared to stock and cannot find any appreciable difference in wakelocks (kernel or partial) or even CPU states for the same period of time and usage (actually under stock usage was higher even) except to say that this ROM has 3x the battery consumption. Very strange. Good luck with future builds, I'll give it another shot in the future.
