[Q] Question about GOOGLE Edition GS4

Do we know whether apps like Watch ON and the sensor extras (motion/eye tracking) will be supported by the google edition phone? My guess is we wont have to wait long to get the Google edition software onto our AT&T versions.

Google edition will have a pure android aosp system, and that means no.

According to this.. Maybe..
The article can be found here.. The photo below shows it having air gestures and view so MAYBE its all true or maybe its still just a rumor at this point..
Maybe not WatchOn but the it blaster may still work with an app from the play store if air gesture and air view are really going to be included..

That's the Developer Edition, not the Google Edition. Two different devices.

No worries.
I hope the Google Edition does end up having some sort of support for the IR blaster, ect, but I really doubt that will happen. What I'm really looking forward to is better camera support...the camera software on current AOSP roms is woefully inadequate, especially considering how mediocre the camera is in the first place...

I just woke up when I posted that and forgot about there being two different editions (dev & Google) lol.. I love Aokp/aosp but I'd really like to keep the ir blaster and the camera like you said also.. The air gestures and motions i can do without. That's really the only reason I havent switched to Aosp/kp yet
Matt are you running a TW ROM or Aosp/kp? I was running wicked running Foxhound now

I was running SlimBean for a while, but now I'm running WanamLite, and I'm thinking about trying out Android Revolution HD. Like you, I don't really care about eye tracking/air gestures...but the camera just kills the AOSP experience for me.

[Q] What is OmniROM?

Stupid question, but what is OmniROM and what does it mean for the end-user? I just saw a post from XDA on my Facebook feed, and it seems like kind of a big deal.

I've had an iPhone since about three months ago (because they were the only phones readily available to be bought used and without a contract), but have always kept up with Android. It doesn't seem like innovation stopped. What are we missing now? Cyanogenmod seems to be packed with innovative features, so does AOKP.
BTW, great signature.

I don't think any iPhone is in the works for omni at the moment
I felt what was missing was a team to implement ideas that have never been imagined by the average person, or have been thought of as to be "too difficult" to implement.
I feel this rom, and the team behind it, is the answer to this problem, which should open doors up in other teams, including cyanogenmod

It WOULD be a feat to crack the iPhone's bootloader past the iPhone 3G and get Android booting on there, wouldn't it..?
So, the OmniROM will not just be another copy of another custom ROM? Now that it's being mentioned, I do feel like a lot of them just have the same features.Maybe that's why I'm not fully satisfied when I habitually flash new ROMS.

I work with someone who builds for the iPhone. I might get them to add omni support for it.
Omni is based on aosp (the stock source from google). From their patches are added to support an array of devices. Then new features are added. Seeing as it's a fairly new project (only been around 2 months), there aren't a lot of new features, however there are a few ones to note
They are adding true multi window support
The quick settings tiles are flipable
There see, so to be a new app called "OmniGears". I'm unsure about what exactly this will do, but it seems to contain rom specific settings
I hope this is enough to convince you this won't be a "copy of another rom"

Multi-window sounds awesome. It's one of two features, the other being Watch-on, that I found useful/interesting from TouchWiz. Now, all I need is a download link... I don't even care about bugs.

Random Builds-AOSP

I've been messing around for a few days trying to get AOKP on my Moto X. Finally got it working. Thought I would share the build. It has been a while since I ran AOKP and I'm surprised to say that it isn't what it use to be...Anyway, here is the build. I still have some sepolicy stuff to sort through so it has the kernel from yesterdays cm nightly.

Check under your Google acct after setting things up and make sure you didnt get a sync error. If you do just uncheck then recheck everything. It will sync correctly. I havent encountered any bugs yet.
And It should work on ALL variants
Of course you do flash this at your own risk...

I was gonna try to get Moto X up to date in AOKP but doesn't look like there is any interest in AOKP anymore. Very unfortunate. I remember when AOKP was most peoples favorite :-/

AOKP used to be my favorite, it was awesome - loved the customization features. But I realized it was a little heavy and switched to slim as my new fav. But since I've been on the moto x I haven't felt the need to flash any roms (not that there were any available ). stock has been great and Xposed + gravity box solves all my customization desires and more!
I appreciate the effort though, I might give it a shot if I get bored. Thanks!
PS What did you mean when you said it isn't what it used to be? better or worse?

Aokp used to be bad. Ass I loved it but after ICS/job they dropped a lot of customization and its not really worth it for me I guess. I'd rather flash a cm bases rom these days. But still awesome you got aokp going!!
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk

I have to agree....it isn't disinterest in aokp, for the moto x anyway......its just I'd say the majority stay stock and use gravity box. So they don't lose their moto features.
Awesome tho that you brought it to this phone.

I miss lots about the moto x....my wife has it now and loves it!! I just missed the busy development community and the freedom of a nexus. I got bored with my perfect moto x. Lol
Now I've discovered multirom.
Never need to wipe my daily driver and can flash ROMs left and right.
As far as comparison.... They're very comparable phones. The moto x is definitely my recommendation to almost everyone....UNLESS they like to play with the phone like us xda'ers do.....nothing beats a nexus for that.

There is not an AOSP based rom that has ANY of the stock Moto X features you refer to. Probably never will be. Active display can be downloaded from Play, I believe its called ACDisplay.
On another note. I've seen people discussing the speakerphone issue in other threads. FYI @dhacker29 fixed it and I have yet to see any other "bugs", in recent CM builds or this AOKP build.

(Discussion) LG G3 Android 5.1 Lollipop Update

They released it for the Android One and testing it on the nexus`s. I guess OEMS have it too and they are testing it.

I think that going by how fast we got the 5.0 update, we will get 5.1 update as well. Sooner rather than later.

Yes, I agree

I read somewhere that you can gain double the performance in some circumstances with the 5.1 update. If that's true, I'm really excited about this release. I really liked lollipop on both my Nexus 7 and my Moto G. It's a great update, probably the best one Google has ever done. The ART runtime is amazing and it sounds like they've made it even better, faster, and more memory efficient in the 5.1 update.

Unless of course you live in the US. We still don't have it. But it's okay. We all use the bloatware carriers put on our devices and in no way root immediately and remove any of it. It's a good thing it's delayed for months because I don't know what we would do if we didn't have access to AT&T Remote Support, Mobile Locate, AT&T Live and AT&T Locker. Those apps are lifesavers. -.-

If you guys ask for the official release then i think it will take a while. Lg g4 is rolling out in 20 days so taht will delay the official 5.1 for our device.
I ll stick with custom 5.1 roms and surely i ll wait for the blisspop 5.1

Android 5.1 rolling out now! Finally!

It seems that nobody talk about it... Updates are always welcomed!
http://officialandroid.blogspot.de/2015/03/android-51-unwrapping-new-lollipop.html
edit: It's true! It's rolling out after more than 3 month of waiting

Well someone mentioned it in another topic. I think we'll have to wait a few days (or weeks). Mostlikely we'll see a custom 5.1 first, as the source code is already published.
Anyways, I look forward and hope that the did something with the memory management. I looked at their changelog and saw that ~20 memory leaks was found and fixed. That is the major issue for me at the moment. Multitaksing with two tabs in Chrome and spotify playing along with FB+messenger is really horrible. Also I'm planning to run custom ROM/Kernel after they have been updated to 5.1.

View attachment 3206738

did you happen to have captured the OTA?

Looking at the build number i'm pretty sure that's a custom ROM not the official stock ROM...

"lollipopalooza" indeed ...

Looking at AOSP flounder kernel commits, I see that most changes are related to the GPU and WiFi.
Can't wait to try it.

Ugh well this is taking way too long. The memory leaks are making my Nexus 9 almost unusable at this point. Not exactly something I expected when I paid $600+ shipped to Canada for the 32 GB at launch.
