You MUST DO A FULL WIPE, whether you are coming from homemade builds (aka my builds), or a previous version of OmniROM. Be certain to do a full backup of your data, apps, call logs, sms/text and so on before flashing.
GAPPS must be flashed BEFORE initial boot, they will NOT work properly if you flash them afterwards !!!

Wow.... already?
Thanks for the hard work! Any features?

More or less the same features than in Omni 6, everything is being backported.
Battery led and custom notification led will be there in next build.

We expect android 8

Why such a hurry !?
Before you refine the A-7 will have A-8.

Of course it was a joke, but journalists already predict the future:

Android 8 : ce que l'on attend

Mostly because I'm in vacations, and got the time this week to do the bringup for Nexus 4, then OmniROM got gerrit fixed so we could merge everything that needed to, from there, things go quite fast, team is actually quite efficient

I noticed a few kernel side commits i didn't merge yet, so tomorrow's build, you should expect a few things fixed, rotation should be fixed, and some omnigear stuff are coming back

Do you know if the future official omni 7 will require full wipe if coming from official omni 6???

I think I stated it the header, yes, it will be needed to avoid any problem, Android 7 has a lot of changes.

 

[kldoc]

New build delayed for tomorrow, have been hard at work trying to solve the camera video recording, failed. Rotation is fixed.
Video recording seems to be a recurring issue on Android 7 for older devices, and none of the ROM I checked managed to really fix it for good. From there, I'm not actually certain it will ever get fixed, and because of this, I don't know if Nexus 4 will reach nightlies or not. I will publish builds as OmniROM features get backported, but won't go any further than this.
Given Google's pricing for Pixel, I am soon buying a Oneplus 3, and will switch to it for OmniROM support.
I'm not giving up totally on Nexus 4, but dev won't be as up to date as it was when I did Marshmallow or Lollipop.

Hi all! I have been wondering if Snapdragon camera is included, cuz that's the only thing stopping me from switching to Omni 7 or CM 14?

Yes, Snapdragon Camera is included, it's actually replacing the stock AOSP camera, only video recording is broken on Nexus 4 atm, that's what I was mentioning earlier, no one has this properly working 100%, camera itself is able to take pictures, no issues there, but just video recording isn't possible atm.

I remember stepen wolf with cm 14 unofficial figuring on how ot fix it. but I am not sure if he has done so as of yet or not. but he di state it was on hhis list of things to do to fix the rom. so whwho knows between you and stepean with cm14 you guys can figure it eventually.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

just read his post he still has the same issue with camera video recording having issues it will record in 720 p ok but with 1080p has issues. so he will be working on it. so hopefully between kldoc and stepan the issue will get resolved.thats the only issue with nexus 4 having had the AOSP 7 rom on my nexus 4 over 2 months now. kldoc I am also agreeing with you google made a big disservice to the developer by raising the price of the pixel for the development community. as soon as I have some fund I will be joining in support and getting a 1 plus 3 as well. the only thing will be to get older nexus device and keep them up to date and then going forward go with other vendor to prove to google that they are not the only premium product with a outrageous price that the development community cant afford and then will end up jumping ot other product lines to support going forward in the future . that's one thing that google has now gotten out of touch with its community. they are forgetting that the development community got them to the big Android dance. The developers developers . I respect what all you guys and gals do here on XDA for all of us!!!!

Feedback i have, is most devices actually have camera issues on Android 7, things will eventually smooth out and get polished
I still have a build to publish today, been working on that camera issue, but also working on cleaning up stuff to get that on OmniROM's gerrit and github.

I checked his work, but he's more or less at the same point everyone else is, sill no real solution atm.

Oh and by the way, my builds are also Selinux enforced

 

[mrk2815]

will be patiently waiting ot test the next build you have out for nexus 4.thanksfor maintaining and building android 7 for nexus 4.

 

[kldoc]

Uploading the new build as we speak, Battery light are back, Custom notification lights are also back (didn't in Omni 6).
Rotation is fixed, battery display is back, and a lot of Omni features are back, doze mode isn't there yet, but should be soon.
EDIT: Link in the OP updated, enjoy
Have fun with OmniROM !

P.S.: I merged my commits on Omni repos for kernel and device trees

 

[kanishkad]

Awesome ROM, keep up the good work.

However, there are some issues I noticed;

1. Can't seem to change the SELinux mode to Permissive with SELinux mode changer.
2. Permission requests appear as in the screenshot with no way to take an action (can grant from settings though).

Btw, is SuperSU integrated into the ROM?

No you will not be able to change SELinux to Permissive rom within the system, if you want to run OmniROM permissive, you need to build it by yourself, OmniROM (not only me) is really strict about this. The initial build was permissive, but it was a proof of concept. Android N changes a lot of things, there might be bugs here and there, but SElinux is relatively working well now.
Permission granting, i will have to check things on that, but ROM is barely coming together, 80% of our maintained devices are barely uploading a semi working build, will ask your for a bit of patience
Supersu never was a part of OmniROM, and probably won't be anytime soon (if ever).

A screenshot without a logcat is more or less useless ...

Just to clarify if my post seemed like a complaint, this is awesome work and really glad that devs like you are keeping a 4 year old device alive Just wanted to point out the issues I faced in order to help you make it better..

I was able to set it to permissive by the command "setenforce 0". Need it to get Viper4Android working

I will post a logcat if I encounter any issues. Keep up the good work :good:

Oh, I wasn't aware Viper4Android was still being maintained, external modifications aren't something we bring support to, mostly because it changes initial behavior and it's hard to predict what changes towards drivers support throughout system updates.

Someone in Omni pointed me at a modified video recording handling ( coming from slimrom actually), will give it a shot tomorrow.

I'm also planning to enable LTE support for those who need it in the future, even though I won't be able to test it (China's network don't handle those frequencies)

Your existing build actually already picked up LTE for me, with no modifications needed. Working just fine on my end
