We don't support 3rd party kernels. And if this is on stock kernel, Logcat and dmesg please?

Pimped kernel wont boot very new ROMs as there were lots of changes last week. I've just merged it all in and am doing a build at the moment. But as @Jiangyi said for them to debug stuff you will need to be on their kernel

Jiangyi are you just using pure cm-11.0 kernel?

Edit: answered my self ... yes, with defconfig chages

 

[3ftguru]

my apologies. switched back to daily driver already as i prefer a bit more features in the rom. will update again if i switched back n encounter any issues.

Camera works great with this build ... Finally [emoji4] Is there a way to implement multiwindow feature in this one ?

WiFi will not turn on with new build on my C6806, clean flash.

Could I get a log please? It's fine on my GPe over here.

I've already gone back to the backup of the GPe port that I made prior to installing the 7/6 build earlier today.Gotta get my head down soon as I've work in 7 hours.

P.S. I originally dirty flashed (and cleared cache & dalvik) over the 7/6 build, when WiFi wouldn't turn on there, I rebooted to recovery, wiped system, data, cache and tried again, setup wizard told me to turn wifi on, but presented me no switch with which to do so.

missing wifi module?

Give me a few min and I'll flash and test, will give me something to do while my test kernel builds...

Huh, I don't see errors related to Wi-Fi.. Even though there's quite a lot of other things. -caf-bfam is what we call -caf-new at Omni. -caf is for Snapdragon 600 devices and below, basically.

I had the same issue with wifi on C6833. I tried clean and dirty flash, neither workes. Otherwise i liked the rom from what i could see. But no wifi is no-go.

When i tried to turn it on, the slider or circle went on, but got stuck there.

Try the 0706 build, that should be okay. I'm going to pull the 0710 build.

The only issue I can see with the 0706 build is that the WiFi Tethering doesn't work. This doesn't work on the CM build either, however. I suspect it's related to WPA since I believe it works with WPA disabled (will test later.) I should point out that tethering also *does* work on the ported GPe AOSP builds.

Other than that - I'm absolutely loving this ROM! I greatly hope you continue to work on it - I'd love to get on the nightlies list for OmniROM - I greatly prefer it to CM.

Edit: I also threw a few dollars your way, keep up the awesome work!
