How does OmniROM compare to CyanogenMOD 11? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking about switching over to OmniROM, but I want to know the advantages and disadvantages between OmniROM and CyanogenMod 11. I heard that it can run 2 apps at once with multi-tasking. Is this with every application that I have, or only certain ones? Is OmniROM as stable as CM11, and as feature complete?

How hard is it to flash them both and then make up your own mind??
I can't see why this would warrant a thread.

What rom best rom posts are not allowed .
Are you unable to read the roms thread???
You have enough posts to ask in the thread .

I'm not asking which is best, (as that is completely subjective); I am asking what the differences are between the two ROMs.

Omni rom is in early stages but so is Cm11. Like as said above... you really need to read the threads and flash for you're self. Both great roms and both worth a flash :thumbup:

What may be an advantage for one person, may be a complete disadvantage for another so it's still subjective no matter how you try and slice it.
We certainly don't need a new thread created for this... Try them both and decide for yourself.

Cyanogenmod 10.1 DNA discussion thread

As stated in the cm 10.1 dev thread lets keep the general CM discussions here instead of cluttering the dev thread.
Great idea - now we can have all the misguided, misinformed speculation we want as to what hurdles have yet to be cleared before the DNA gets official CM nightly support
jk
Haha, exactly.
Actually, I think efforts might soon be underway to port straight AOSP as well I hope what I've heard (I can't give details, so please don't ask) comes to fruition.
That'd be great. I've been trying to learn more about programming and the build system so I can start helping out with some of it. I've setup ubuntu and sync and build cm every couple of days and I've been messing with building aokp since its based on cm.
AOKP, PA, PAC ROMs me want
Also some AOSP kernels as well

I made a few changes and aokp started to build but I came across an error and haven't had time to look into it. If I get it built I'll try to learn some more about git and upload the source

Why pure aosp as opposed to CM?

Because a lot of popular ROMs out there are based on AOSP rather than on CM. Besides, there's always room for both right?
I'd love to try pure AOSP. I've always had HTC devices so I never got the pure Android experience.

because I want android and not all the stuff that comes with CM, if I want themes and mods ill do them myself
Does anyone have any resources that break down the build process?
I'm pretty excited for the 10.1 rom to become a daily driver. Once it's complete I hope to see possible other roms that are desensed... I'm sick of sense! I want some unadulterated android (or close to it)!
why would you want an aosp kernel? how are they better?

Sense kernels won't work on aosp and the stock one they included in CM can't be overclocked or undervolted.

The kernel we are using right now is our stock kernel with cm commits. It doesn't include overclock or any other features because they could cause more bugs. Better to work all the bugs out of cm before you start doing things that could introduce more. Cplamer has already said that he has run a custom kernel with cm on his DNA so it is definitely going to happen. Just have to wait or build your own kernel unfortunately.

The other reason is because they're making so many changes to cm right now to get it working that a new kernel would have to be released for every update. I believe T1gartist has been running cm oc'd with a custom kernel as well

If you have the source it's not hard to add overclocking.

Can u upload the build.
I wud like to test it out.

Sorry for asking all these questions.
BTW, u should create a new thread in Orig. Android Dev. with AOKP build :victory:

[ROM Collection] neXus ROMs for LBL (KK 4.4.4 based)

This thread serves the purpose of unifying all my release into one thread.
For now i am doing it for simplicity, but as i have separate threads for Paranoid and PAC, so later on I will change this thread for OMNI.
Ok, so i noticed people love choice. People love flashing. They love changing things just for the sake of it.
So here i give you exactly the same.
Policy:
- No official Changelogs
- No ETA
I will post zips of OMNI, PAC and PARANOID whenever i build them and post them here. Just grab it and flash it. If you find a bug, wait for next release. or revert to previous. Or switch to other ROM. no hard feelings.
So for starting:
1. OMNI
https://mega.co.nz/#F!X0JgARSR!_znrn91i6dNt8oUtgqsmKg
2. PAC
https://mega.co.nz/#F!v0wDXATQ!_GrE14kzs_toCyHOOvJQXQ
3. PARANOID
https://mega.co.nz/#F!G0YH0QZT!JEGZtdqmcKWBYwAcTkSySA
All above are unofficial builds.
1 reserve is enough.
but 2 is better
Awesome!
I'm definitely going to give this a try! But first, could you list the bugs (if any)?
Much appreciated!
Thanks!
No bug listing required. There aren't any permanent bugs.
because these are all nightlies, so still be wary.

since you swich to bagyusz cm11 lbl base for pac the rom is a little less fluid.
OMNI need only theme engine to be perfect.
so omni rom too work perfect on locked bootloader?
Can you show up the mirror links in OP?
Hi Nexus Prime, now I'm in omnirom and that's a great room for me, particularly the smoothness when in recent panel. Stock rom even can't do this..
But there's no themes chooser, make it quite dissapointing..
then I try paranoid Nexus rom, but the problem is why I cannot see my original SD card contents. Looks like it has been formatted. Yeah I see the content actually, but just Android folder inside. Whereas in CWM, evrything is fine and content is showing. So, it's not formatted.
Why is it?

I guess you can use OpenGapps without any problems. The usual installation process. Wipe everything except internal storage, flash ROM, Gapps, Reboot.

Kind of crappy of me, I could have swore that I posted my experience with this, but I guess I went brain-dead
Build runs great. The fact that cm added all the typical features I use as stock work out great for minimal builds.
I know you guys are willing to take feature requests, and good on you guys for it, but if I could suggest to not loose sight of what it is as it stands.
There are many cm base Roms that have 80 features baked in, but there are still, not many granted but there are some around that prefer minimal Roms.
This ran better for me then any other cm base ROM on the n6 I flashed, and I think a good portion of that was due to the fact that it's vanilla. Massive amounts of features seem to bog Roms down for me, maybe it's placebo as I have no source, but that's how it shows via my useage.

native signature spoofing ROMs?

Do any of the ROMs available for the 5x include native signature spoofing support, like Omnirom does? Thanks!

For microG to work properly, one has to use Xposed or a patch like Tingle by @ale5000 in order to spoof the signature of a bunch of google play services. That is, unless they use Omnirom, which allows it to work out of the box. See the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616

well, omni is based on aosp, and rr is based on lineage, they has their differences
If you have a know-how/resources, you can manually patch necessary repos and build ROM yourself (I did that for Slim builds on my previous device), commits are available on gerrit, you'll just have to fix some merge conflicts... CM didn't want to support that on CM12.1 (I remember discussion from their gerrit back then), others followed their example, so I guess that is current state of things on Lineage and other CM based ROMs even now...

I thought I read somewhere that more recent Omni 6/7 builds have been somewhat based on CM as well.

Well, if I ever decide to start working on kiwi, I'll probably patch necessary stuff, you can count on that.. But I still haven't even unlocked and rooted mine (in case I suddenly decide to resell it/replace for something with bit more regular updates - still haven't decided anything, not too happy with software and official support, but to lazy to anything about it)....

Youll probably never find any solace in official support/EMUI. Rumor has it that an official Nougat will be released at some point, but my only foray into Nougat gave me horrible battery life. I'm pretty happy with MM.

"At some point" can be deep into 2017 or never but ok, I'm used to that, had a LG device which suddenly went out-of-support after not even full year of life. And it was a flagship. I'd be glad if even monthly patches are kind of regular... just dreams, haha.

Include the patch is really simple for any ROM, it doesn't depend on anything particular, it is just a choice of the one that build it.

Unofficial domanx kernel by Saber

Hi. I didn't want to clutter the dev thread by asking a question that's technically been answered.
I'm using this kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tives/kernel-dorimanx-kernel-los14-1-t3641994 by @Saber and tbh I'm enjoying it. Unfortunately, it only officially supports LOS.
While LOS is stable as a daily driver, at least to me, there are some features of other roms that I'd like to have.
I just wanted to know if anyone has tried this kernel with other Nougat roms, and which roms work with this. I've tried AOKP (and XenonHD iirc) but i ended up in a bootloop. Has anyone tried it with other roms? If so, which roms work and are therr any issues? Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your answer. I was hoping it might work on AOKP since the rom is based on LOS and AOSP. So i guess I'll have to use a rom based on AOSP only.

Small error. You should only use ROMs based purely on LineageOS. Any rom other than LineageOS will not get support so if something breaks, you'd be on your own

Oops. Typo. My apologies. I meant roms based solely on LOS, not AOSP. :silly:
And yes, i completely understand that it's not supported. And that i can't expect help (at least not officially) since your thread is clear. i respect that. I'm just trying to get info on what roms work with this. Biggest factor is that N roms with their stock kernels tend to give me issues (no deep sleep even when screen is off. Even LOS used to do that which is why i went back to KK). Your kernel fixed it, so i plan on using it for other roms that work with it.
