[Q] Official AOKP users

Hello,
Tried many custom roms but usually end up coming back to the offical AOKP rom for the N4. I like the options and speed of the rom, find it very stable and use the theme engine. I haven't tried their 4.3 roms as they are all nightlies and I am always led to believe these are a bit risky for using as a daily driver. I use my phone for work and important things.
I have stayed with 4.2, but the only issue I have found is that the camera flash does not work. I have tried the latest stable 4.2 release, but then under instruction by aokp him/herself flashed the last 4.2 nightly as I was told there was a camera fix for that release. This was a clean install, I wiped and flashed.
Unfortunately I still cannot get the camera flash to work. I know my phone is not faulty as the flash works fine in Beanstalk, CM and other roms.
Anyone else experienced this?

The nightly releases for AOKP 4.3.1 are stable. Just make s nandroid backup and install them.

ThemeManager crash with Franco/Hells kernel
Hi,
Did anyone had issue with ThemeManager. It's crashing always while restarting phone. I tried Franco/Hells kernel and it happens on both. It's working correctly on standard kernel. I tried to set up stock theme/clean data in application. Nothing helps.

C-RoM -4.4 !!!!
work very fast , easy to use , very beuatiful rom , save a lot battery. very reccomend!!

I have cm 11 nightly version 20140101 on my i9000 and it's by far the best rom I've found. It's sleek, light, fast, user friendly and consists of very few bugs.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

incoming call transparant
I don't know whether this is the right thread to post in but I do have an annoyance to report.
Is it intended for the incoming call screen to be transparent as below.
AFAIK its a solid black since ICS??

I was given my Galaxy S by my brother and have only used it to play with so far, my prime use, apart from as a phone, was to have been as a replacement for my stand alone TomTom satnav.
I have tried many many roms but the satellite lock on time has been far far to long so the phone was always kept in the drawer. I have now resurrected the Galaxy S and played with both KitKat roms released by ts1506 as well as EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1. I have to say that with EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1 installed, with TomTom maps, satellite lock on is now virtually the same as with my TomTom 950 and I am now at last using my Galaxy S daily. I am now a very happy chappie indeed.
Both Roms by ts1506, regarding satellite fix times, are also very very good it's just that I installed EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1 last.
May I also add that by visiting this great forum I have certainly learned a lot and it has certainly brought me many happy hours in my retirement. :good:

Thanks, i'll try

I use CyanogenMod 11.0 by ADC-Team - Alpha 3 (EOL) - Kernel 3.4.x since yesterday. So far the fastest ROM I used.
Only issues are that some Apps like eg. MixZing don't work, hope that there will be a cure to this soon.

try to update the app, as some apps may have not (yet) been updated for kit kat.

Btw. I might have misread the topic but I am using it on an I9001.

Thanks for the quick reply. I uninstalled and reinstalled the App already. Unfortunately no change.

I have switched from CM10 (which was very laggy on my i9000) to CM11, and everything is great so far!
More battery life, faster experience overall, stable, no serious bugs.

you've should update to the latest release with ION. it works even better and some apps like Chrome, Google Maps and several other apps wil be better.
Speaking about the Galaxy S plus wich i own, the (as we speak right now) latest CM11 by ADC team is working already really good together with K^Kernel, Its amazing that these 3/4 year old devices can get the latest and greatest versions of android and work well

i need to tests all to recommend one

Am on CM11 Beta 3 now and works quite good. Do you recommend a custom kernel or does it make more sense to stick to the standard they deliver with the package?

My vote
I love clean rom's that's why i vote Supernexus and Cyanaosp, no trash.

Unofficial OmniROM by struq & Kayant 02/02/2014

Hello struq and Kayant,
congratulations on this excellent ROM.
For me it is after many attempts with CM11 a surprise how stable and fast our Defy + can run under KitKat, even though both ROMs run on the same kernel.
Now a few more translations into German and the ROM would be perfect.
Please continue developing this ROM.
regards
Defy_Duke

Great OmniRom
It is definitely a great KitKat rom: fast and stable :good:
Thank you!

Thank you for new relase of the OmniROM.
I have only two problems:
1. No TWRP Recovery boot function (i have fix it with your ramdisk-recovery file )
2. OmniSwitch not working
the rest works fine, stable and fast.
greets

I also noticed no deep sleep with wifi connected, do you have this too?

For me the deep sleep works fine.

Very fluid
Well this is one of the ROMs I kept longer since was so fluid but I don't know why is not updated?
Anyway super rom.

Yes, OmniROM is a super ROM for the Defy. :laugh:
There is a newer Version out (20140228), but this has an big bug in TWRP recovery boot, so is better not install this version.
I think struq is work on next version of OmniROM. :good:

well is it better than quarx ?

It has the same Kernel from Quarx and Blechdose, but struq has only stable versions of the kernelcode in his Rom.
For me is the Omnirom much more smoother and stable as CM11.

Omni for Defy March 8th version / Google Play problem
I've installed the new Omni version this morning and it is very nice! Performance of my Defy is acceptable.
I had one problem since I had a working internet connection but couldn't access Google Play. After installing 2-27_GApps_Minimal_4.4.2_signed.zip the problem was solved.
Many thanks for this ROM! Now I can use the same environment on my Nexus 7, I9305 and my old Defy.
Klaus

Thank you struq for the new version.
TWRP works fine now, no bootloops and start in TWRP works.

Works perfect for me.

Wow, i have never threy a better ROM on my Defy+.
I hope that i now have 10 post and can answer in dev. threat.

Thank you all for your awesome work.
I installed omni-4.4.2-20140308-mb526-TEST.zip and had some issues at first:
-after a dirty flash over the version 20140202, supersu (flashed via twrp) was not working
-clean flash: same error as Post #159 in original thread:
status bar, lock screen, etc doesn't appear ie system ui doesn't start
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-another clean flash worked fine but no usb mass storage, only mtp/ptp (I am almost certain that I had us mass storage on 20140202)
did not yet try to enable it via terminal emulator
(since I am a forum newbie, I can't post in the dev-threat)

I think me have since KitKat only MTP/PTP
Fine that the new OmniROM now works on your phone. :laugh:

Yeah youre right. Went back to build 20140202 since I had some charging issues and there is only MTP/PTP too.
Maybe it was just a dream
But will stay on this one for now, feels more stable...

What are the main differences between Quarx's CM11 and OmniRom? (...an SlimKat??) :silly:.

newer version possible
Is there maybe a chance for a new version which incorporates latest Quarx's & Omni changes?
Would be great!

MoKee OS Official 5.1.1 Nightlies

For anyone who doesn't know; MoKee Nightlies are available for Thea, if anyone wants to try. It's pretty good.
http://download.mokeedev.com/?device=thea

Their original dev (and unkwon) must create a post for more detailed information...! But thanks for the advice.

Obviously. They haven't yet! Just telling people it's there.

It's pretty good, but at the moment Bluetooth is not working, can't connect to my Android Wear, so back to CM12 but I'll keep trying =)

Were you using a nightly or release build? Bluetooth is working fine for me. I'm on the latest release build. Smooth and stable.

Yep it was nightly 2015-05-23 , later I'll try the new nightly and if that does not work, then I will try the release build. Cheers for the info =)

How good is it? Is it better than CM?

I prefer it to CM. The release builds are great. No issues for me.

I4ve been on this ROM for a day now and it works like a charm. Mokee is really great. No buigs or FC for now
EDIT : GPS works for You ? I can't get a fix.... Did a clean flash of Mokee but still no GPS Fix
EDIT #2 : OK now it works, just have o erase modemst1 and modemst2 with fastboot

Hi everyone,
I've been enjoying Mokee for a week, flashed nightlys every two days and just discovered that their OTA system just download the changes from the rom installed to the new build. I tried to DL it and flash but I've an endless bootanimation after.
Is it the same for you too? Thanks

I don't use OTA.
I heard that it broke ever, then they fixed. I'll link to him.

Try using the Release builds instead. More stable and OTAs are every week or so.

Yes but releases are odexed and xposed does not work with odexed roms

Ok, I don't ever use Xposed with custom roms. Just stock.

Caution ! The 28/06 nightly doesn't work !
I will go back to CM because the 29/06 crashes when I use a theme.
Great rom but I honestly can't see the advantage over CM. Ota would be a plus but it fails.
Back on CM with Cyandelta for incremental updates

Another update on Mokee on Thea :
- OTA works great but you must not remove /system apps and modify build.prop however the phone will bootloop.
- OTA doesn't work with Xposed as well, bootloop
- Release versions (odexed ROM) are really smooth and seem to be more battery friendly than nightly releases...
- The ROM is bugfree, I've been using Mokke for two weeks now and no reboot, no freeze, perfect experience

Same here, I'm really happy with Mokee (running release version), no bugs so far and smooth performance. However I tried as you did to download incremental update through Mokee Center and automatically flash through recovery (TWRP), but got endless boot animation, had to download full ROM and flash after wiping system/data/cache/dalvik.
Does anyone know if Mokee can be upgraded simply by flashing full ROM zip without wiping system and data?

Tried again updating through Mokee Center, this time downloading full ROM. Didn't get endless bootloop, but performance was really bad, moto g suddenly rebooted 2 times, very unstable. I decided to wipe all and reflash manually through TWRP. Working fine now... it seems that auto-update are not working very well. Anyone who didn't get those problems and successfully updated through Mokee Center?

I managed to have incremental updates working on release versions. You must not touch anything in /system (you can freeze apps however)
I've been updating like that for two releases and it works

Just a quick for OTA updates on nightly builds with Xposed.
Ota works if you uninstall xposed with the uninstaller zip before flashing OTA !

A5_UL Eu single sim (and any compatible variants) Working ROM thread

Hi all.
I'm using CM12.1 5.1.1 from 20150429. Grarak unofficial ROM.
Any Cm12.1 based ROM newer than this has bugs making my phone unusable.
-long time detecting sim card, and long time getting a cellular connection once sim detected
-SMS not sending or receiving
-no calls incoming
Which basically make it a mini tablet ...
So far I've tried a pacman 5.0.3 ROM but found it sluggish.
Does anyone with this same model of phone have a workaround or a suggestion of a stable working 5.1 ROM?
Has anyone tried updating RUU with either success or failures to report?
I'm at a loss here and its a shame, this phone is good value for money and was working well up to this last cm12.1 build.
I really don't want to go back to 5.0, and I'm not sure any sense/stock ROM is better? Can you share positive experience on this matter?
Thanks to all devs who give their time to allow us to use and own our phones. I am grateful and in no way taking any of this for granted.
Without you we'd all have locked phones and no freedom.
And peace to all, above and beyond ALL the rest!

Stock with xposed & some mods like Nitro X spark works fine for me, as there is no good ROM for our phone .. the bugs makes the phone unusable with custom roms :/

And you don't have issues with disk space etc? Stock 5.0, 5.1 or 4.4 ?
