As i always say, for noobs, but kids/AOSP lovers or TW haters!
Again, a BIG thanks to sammobile.com for leaking this ROM 24 hours early. Great effort guys.
(I am missing those people who were supposed to pass over them)
• Usually phone calls were of no problem. Sound is solid in both earpiece and speaker.
Noise Reduction feature is back, and i love it. :good:
• Vibration intensity is solid as it was.
• All connectivity works. WiFi, 3G/H+, Bluetooth etc.
• Swype is present as it should and version is 3.26.92Q
• Is it me only or the 1080P mkv files are running smoother than before!! :good:
• TW launcher does have the loop Home screen option, and as well in App drawer.
• Internet Browser- Well it has been changed, all over smoothness is better than previous ROM. Nice. The address loading bar is changed it's color from green to Sky blue and a little bit thicker as well! :good:
• Jeez! Can you guys see an option to Refresh a web page?? I can't!
• Call logs STILL don't categorise numbers! Uff!
• Vibrate option changed it's name to Mute. Lol. And the Vibrate icon is changed in Status bar.
• The icons in Notification bar (Application update, any other notifications etc) is no more big ones but they are small like as they were in GB.
• The Lockscreen notification is changed. Now Missed call and SMS are indicated under two separate circles and their background is transparent, unlike in previous ROM it was Red. :good:
• The scrolling bar is changed. Previously it would appear in a different grid with it the long vertical line and green colored, but now it is well merged, small and doesn't stay on any vertical line. :good:
• The Task Manager writing is now BIG and fills up the whole screen area horizontally. What's the point?
• The settings menu (which appears when you press menu button) is changed. It appears in a white and a little big icon sets. See screenshot.
• As it is mentioned many times before, Contacts in now there under phone dialer. :good:
• There is an option to set battery status to show as percentage in Status bar.
• There is an option to have a little vibrate when a call is connected. :good:
• There is a new option i am noticing, under Display you'd see a 'Help Text' option!
• The font 'Rosemary' is now added under main fonts.
• Connection with desktop is working fine as it always did.
• So far, haven't noticed any specific bugs, or any apps are not opening or something like that.
The OVERALL smoothness and scrolling is good, even with the stock kernel. So it's definitely worth upgrading.
No root yet! So I'll upload a video tomorrow, if a root kernel appears.
Now if I have missed any point which you've found OR misstated anything please reply below.
Regards.

I said no root because i didn't root, that's all ! I don't use anything besides Siyah, Hardcore's kernel or CF.

As far as other users have reported it breaks wifi and Bluetooth, i haven't tried, so i can't confirm.

Exactly, that's what I always do until the adequate CF-root is released. Works like a charm.
My exact same sentiments ithehappy. Samsung seems to be doing well with firmware updates now. Hope this good run continues with JB.
I don't see myself going AOSP or custom ROM anytime soon.
Only negative thing I noticed is the removal of the brightness adjustment by the sliding notification area. But I can live without it.

Hi guys. I'm new here, this is my first post to a thread in this gigantic forum actually, but I've been following some threads for quite a while now.
I think it's great 4.0.4 has been released (even if it is not official yet) for the i9100.
I'm very excited to turn to that new FW since I've been having mic issues while on phone calls and since noise reduction was somehow lost in the transition from GB to ICS it was a bit disappointing to have such a great piece of hardware with a faulty software that was preventing using the phone to its full.
By the way @ithehappy, thx very much for sharing your experience here.
Anybody noticed the bugs?
This rom has some bugs.
1. Camera shutter sound works even if the phone is on silent mode.
2. Swiping on the status bar for brightness control doesn't work.
EDIT: Camera sound was due to KOR sales code. Have changed it to XEU. Now it is silent when the phone is silent.
They can be new features, not necessarily bugs.
lOl, you can call them new features. :angel:
But they are surely bugs. (especially the focus & shutter sound in silent mode)
So far, following bugs found, Bluetooth not working, camera app not showing preview and corruption of serial number of phone.
Still a bit buggy,especially if needing to use Bluetooth.
bluetooth working perfectly fine with my car, both a2dp and making/receiving calls.
Camera app also working fine for me. Camera shutter is silent if my phone is set on silent too.
i do have the empty serial number but thats not important to me.

Bluetooth was making phone noise, but no volume of caller. Camera app showing black screen, no picture review before taking a picture.
This is still very buggy, other users are also reporting no sound when the phone is in a car dock.

My friend, brightness slider could be disabled by purpose, you never know. Focus&shutter sound - isn't a legal issue involved here? (I've read that it was illegal to silent these sounds completely in some countries )
Anyway I don't want to discuss this any more. So EOT here
About BT - I don't use handsfree and other acc, but file transfer worked like a charm for me today.
No camera sound now when the phone is on silent mode. (Had to change the sales code from KOR to XEU).
camera and bluetooth is working fine with me... all is well...

Hi there,
I am running OmniROM 4.4.4 Nightly on the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and for a Nightly version of this ROM its very smooth and efficient. have been trying for months to install KitKat on my phone with no luck and I have to say I was more than impressed with the user interface and the responsiveness of the phone. I have although encountered a few problems. The first problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be an option to personalize the lockscreen with favorite apps or changing the wallpaper. I can't find a way to set notifications on the lockscreen either. Another problem I found is that there doesn't seem to be an option that lets you toggle the light settings for the back button and the settings button located on either side of the home button. And the last problem is that there doesn't seem to be an option to toggle the vibration of the phone when when its on vibrate. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance
Hello everyone
It's been couple of months now when I'm looking for working AOSP lockscreen for TW rom.
There is a few worst or better bun none of them have working lockscreen notifications and pocket mode.
Does anyone of You heard or seen an AOSP lockscreen with working notifications, pocket mode and pattern lock ??
Those are the three features I absolutely must have.
I would like to switch back to TW roms but just cant live without this lockscreen.
Thanks for any help.
Seriously, no one knows ??
Anyone ? Can anyone help me ?
I used AICP and CM14.1, and had installed moto camera on both. The interface works glitchy, as in I had to touch a bit away from the buttons to actually trigger them, or some things just don't respond to touch, etc.
On AICP, the moto camera UI wouldn't work at all. Touching anywhere on the screen, even on a UI element would take a picture as if I touched any empty spot on the screen. I couldn't toggle front cam or toggle other options.
On CM14.1, I can toggle some options, but for many things I have to touch a bit away from the buttons. And I can't turn off shutter sound either.
I'm on CM as I type this.
I was on AICP till 2 days ago .

you have to fix the DPI value of the screen.

Didn't expect this would be a problem. But makes sense.
I've reduced the display size to small.
I would however really want it to stay that way. Anything I can do to the app to fix this?
It nothing works, I'm okay with not using moto camera.

xposed in MM has a module called App Settings where we could set per-app dpi values. unfortunately, xposed is not yet available in Nougat.
Hello guys! I have just updated to Evolution X and I have to say - I love it!
I've always loved MIUI and still think it is one of the ROMS that are the most aesthetically pleasing, but the animations and fluidity of Evolution X is just amazing; it feels like iPhones.
Still, even if I feel the ROM is really good, there are many MIUI apps and features that I miss. Here are the ones I miss the most:
- The alarms in MIUI! You can just switch off a single day and keep the repeating one on, and most importantly, can switch off your phone and it will switch on automatically before the alarm.
- Toggling the always on display on and off! I remember I set something up in MIUI where my always on display would turn off after a certain time. But this feature is not on this ROM!
The torch toggle with the double click on the power button! Although Evolution X does have a similar feature, you can switch it on but not off, I feel like Xiaomi's is more rounded.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get this features in Evolution X? Magisk modules or app ports or something?
Also, what other features do you miss from MIUI?
