[ROM][OFFICIAL][6.0] Omni 6 Nightlies

[kldoc]

One information that I didn't give yet, is rotation 270 "might" be tied to that very same issue.
As soon as I know more, will keep you informed, I don't have much more control over nightlies than the sources themselves. and certainly not on the build server. This is outside of my skillset anyway, but coreteam has aknowledge the bug and we're working together to solve it

DOWNLOADS:
Omni 6 Nightlies for Nexus 4 / Mako

You MUST DO A FULL WIPE before flashing nightlies, 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. If you were to flash nightlies over my own builds or your custom made builds, or any other ROM, you would end in a bootloop
GAPPS must be flashed BEFORE initial boot, they will NOT work properly if you flash them afterwards !!!
Don't update gapps on nightlies update, only initial flash requires it. Updating gapps on next nightly would break those, and ROM would become unusable.
You MUST use this version of supersu, latest beta system less
Supersu beta System less


KNOWN BUGS:

Omni only supports TWRP recovery, use any alternate recovery at your own risk.

I am wondering in previous Omni rom builds there was answer with home button. I was wondering if that feature could be back in Omni rom 6 for the nexus 4. I know of a friend who has a nexus 4 and liked to have that feature that in Omni rom.i am just wondering. he is currently running cyanogen mod since the answer with home button is there in accessibility settings as well as end call with power button. Its a small requesto to ask for but its a really good feature to have in there. If this feature could be implemented in future this would bea welcome an he can then leave cyanogen mod for Omni rom going forward if an answer with home button features was in Omni rom.

I will look into the code when I have time, but that's not in the todo list as far as I can tell.
You can make a feature request in the OmniROM forum here in XDA.

Hi,

I can't install Google Play Services. logcat shows following error :

03-08 09:55:51.996 17567 17588 E FlurryAgent: GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES EXCEPTION: com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil
03-08 09:55:51.996 17567 17588 E FlurryAgent: There is a problem with the Google Play Services library, which is required for Android Advertising ID support. The Google Play Services library should be integrated in any app shipping in the Play Store that uses analytics or advertising.

I tried to update OpenGApps to the latest available version, but still same issue.
For the detail : I'm building Omni from sources.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Yes, you can NOT update gapps with a gapps package on OmniROM. Wipe is needed.

 

[gbetous]

When I installed new GApps, I did wipe cache and dalvik cache. Isn't it enough ? What do I need to wipe more ?

But this being said, do you think that my issue is linked to the Gapps version ?

Thanks

I have already made the request in the Omni rom actual forums for the answer with home feature. hope that it makes it in ther.

When I mean you can not update gapps with gapps package, you really can not update Gapps package on Omni 6 without wiping data (aka factory reset).
This is due to some limitations introduced by Google on gapps (permissions stuff) with Android 6, and the fact that OmniROM didn't merge anything to ease the security on this. OmniROM is first trying to be as secure as possible.
Since we don't officially support Gapps (some members of the core team don't actually use gapps at all), this is something that will not change.
Only way to update gapps is through the Google play store, or sideloading apk.
This already was mentioned before, and it's also mentioned in the main thread.
Thanks for fully reading the first post. Using the search function of this forum would also have answered this.

I wish I had better news, but the culprit for Google apps installed through play store which can't sign in is the way OmniROM sign nightlies.
Nexus 4 seems to be the only device being affected by this issue. Because of that, it's very unlikely this will get solved before Android N.
Only workaround is to sideload older apk, and then update normally from play store.
HOMEMADE builds are not affected, and work perfectly fine, because they are using Google's test keys.
I have zero control over this, core team knows about that issue, I can't do much more than that unfortunately.

@kldoc
where do I download homemade?

@kldoc
where do I download homemade?

Either you build it yourself, either you wait that I have the time to build one and upload it.
HOMEMADE AND NIGHTLIES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
Meaning you must wipe data (factory reset) if you switch from one to another.
And yes, that also breaks the OTA compatibility.

You can use NIGHTLIES, and install older apks (youtube, keep, google + etc ...) from apkmirror, and then update it through play store without any further issue.

I certainly won't push for HOMEBUILD, and I will certainly NOT release those in a timely manner, this will be given as a convenience for people who really can not do otherwise. But I don't have the time neither the will to do regular update on those. I did it before nightlies, mainly to show OmniROM was still alive on Nexus 4, but I am certainly not going to replace nightlies with builds I do myself.

 

[kldoc]

Hi folks, after much work and tryouts, i finally managed to make Google sign in work in nightlies for gapps, next nightly include that change.
Enjoy

thanks for your support Sir

 

[kldoc]

Confirmed, starting 20160313 nightly, Google sign in issue for Google apps installed from play store is gone for good, you can now feel free to install a tiny gapps package that fits your needs, then install whatever google app you want through play store, will work flawlessly.

As always, Have Fun with OmniROM !

 

[kldoc]

I will ask you to skip today's nightly, as update to r22 happened in the meanwhile, so please, don't flash 03152016 nightly, wait for tomorrow

About rotation 270, I've started to work on it, I've found something in the ROM code itself, will do a testbuild tonight, and submit if it works.

 

[kldoc]

Ok, problem for rotation not working properly has been identified, and it's actually a ROM wise bug that will get fixed in the coming days
Will notify you when nightlies get those changes.
Have fun with OmniROM

EDIT: Faster than I expected, code already merged, All rotations will be working on next nightly, and rotation customization too Enjoy

ActiveSync Support gone?

Hi,

after flash of 2016-03-15 delta update my ActiveSync-Account was gone. As result my contacts, calendar and mails were missing. I also could not create a new one, the option for that in account setup is just missing.

Is this by accident or an intended change?

I just installed Omni 6 on sunday

Best,

LK

Talked to the core team about your issue, update to r22 killed active sync, but team readded the needed code to handle it, next nightly will solve your issue with it, very sorry for the inconvenience !

sinc I am new to Omni rom. Once there are all these nightlies ar in a final stable stage. is there a stable build which would be pushed through the Omni channel , or how does this work. just wondering.

OmniROM doesn't publish any so-called "stable release", we only publish nightlies that are as stable as possible, knowing that for a device to reach Nightly status, everything should be functionnal.
It can happen from update to update that a few bugs slip in, but those are being fixed as we encounter them.
As of now, I consider Nexus 4 nightlies of OmniROM as stable, all remaining bugs towards Nexus 4 have been fixed.

Once a new release of Android is done by Google, what happens is we update the code of OmniROM, and when the new version is ready to reach nightlies, we stop building the previous version to switch over the new one.

EDIT:today's nightly killed ActiveSync services, team has readded it, will be working normally again with tomorrow's nightly, real sorry about the inconvenience.
