Hello Everyone,
I have been following this forum for my Galaxy R updates and since now the kitkat version is available (A big Thanks to karthik050782), I am looking for the list of working features this new [ROM][4.4.2][OFFICIAL]OMNI 4.4.2 for GalaxyR offers.
Official Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576793
I am very excited about this release want to immediately flash this rom but before i do so just want to confirm are the basic features like calling, internet, wifi etc are working.
It would be a great help for people like me who wants to update but are bit hesitant cause this galaxy r is what we have and are ready to go for it fir the basic features of a smartphone are available.
It would be great if official releasers of ROM list the working features here or on the official post itself.
The help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Welcome to XDA friend.
However I just want to tell you that, you'd use the search function instead of creating a new thread.
Because, everything you want to know is ALREADY MENTIONED in the discussion thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594188
Besides you could've asked the same question in the discussion thread itself by creating a new post instead...
Anyway, I'm using OMNI rom myself and I can tell you that most of the features are working fine.
There are however some bugs which are already listed there in the discussion thread...
Here is a list of bugs for you:
>Some Major Bugs
- Mass storage(only mtp works).
- Wifi Tethering.
- Bluetooth A2DP (bluetooth handsfree)
>Some Moderate Bugs
- An electronic sound is played sometimes while playing songs.
- First reboot takes longer than usual (after that size of data/lost+found folder increases to 1+ Gb).
- Screen Recording (it won't work as we don't have neon support) (Use 3rd party apps like SCR Screen Recorder for workaround)
- 90 degree rotation bug in Camera(photo) in portrait mode
- Camera stops responding when picture size is changed.
- Browser FCs when Incognito mode is used.
- Camera stops working when back button is pressed while viewing any image.
>Some Minor bugs
- Gallery FCs when sharpness is changed while editing image.
- Fail to install apk from 'downloads' app.
- Movie Studio App FCs when new project is created
Everything else is working perfectly fine.
However I suggest you to please read this thread carefully before flashing.
Hello all guys, first of all I am new here so if I am going wrong somewhere please correct me.
As we all know XDA is full of great & contributing developers but as long as i can see this power of XDA speaded so my main aim is concentrating this power to a unified direction towards something good:angel:
So please read full thread and try to understand.
As we all know there are man famous ROM all around androids.(like the famous CYANOGENMOD and its really great) but what about non-rooted device and this also needs a far consideration of PROs & new comers(like me) can't go anywhere with it.
So what i and other newcomers thinking is to get something new which don't need root at all & it should also be able customize phone at best and we can replace it with company app. And if this project succeed then we will also consider to create a new awesome class ROM with it.
So here are some details of this project.
This project will cover all devices(non-rooted and rooted also in some case) from 4.0+ to any other new coming version of Android.
what will we do in this project.
1)Make best apps for basic needs of a phone or any other related task.
now what conditions this app should satisfy?
1)100% accuracy.
2)Light weight.(Should consume minimum RAM)
3)Available for all devices(4.0+ minimum or you an go for more older versions)
4)Should be efficient and good enough to be replaced with company apps(like gallery,camera,calculator etc.)
5)Will not be copy of older versions will be inspired by material design & Android 5.0
6)Having slick & stylish icon( cause first impression is your last impression) & awesome interfaces.
for 6th point developer will be able to take help from this thread for testing on wide range of devices & choosing best icon & interface which most of the users like(because today for developers the only & biggest problem is get to know what his/her users want)
The best example of this kind of apps is AcDisplay(The best yet i see except its available only for 4.4+)
why start with us?
1)You will be able to test it on wide range of device & get best review by other developers also.
2)You will be able to get to know what interaction your app will do with other app(for example camera should be interact with gallery of other developer so it can optimize user experience)
3)Contribute in creating best app packages which can interact direct to non-rooted system & optimize user experience & performance with best looks also(for example CM has best package of File manager, Music player Camera, Gallery etc).
The advantage of this over CM will be is it will be able to work with any non rooted device(4.0+ also) & will be totally secure. And having awesome new slick design & will also be well test & debugged.
And if this project will grow good enough then we will also be able we can also start thinking about making XDA's own app store.
Some guys might think that : Ok, thats quite good enough but where should we start?
So here are some suggetions to start with.
1)File Manager(CM File manager non -rooted & well tested for RAM & functioning efficiency)
2)Apollo 2.0(with new awesome icon cause the old one is not that good yet and free from some bugs)
3)Gallery (A new one with awesome perfomance & inteface with hide option(to hide some secret photos ) and non-lagging user experience)
4)Camera( with awesome new functionalities provided by CM but also available for non-rooted 4.0+ devices)
5)AcDisplay(well debugged & availabe for 4.0+ also:angel
Thanks for paying attention. Sorry if I am going out of topic of any mistakes(Cause i m really new here)
Questions and suggetions are always well invited.
If it seems to be off topic && non-developer content please wait a week before reporting or closing this thread to see response and what others want.
IF you interested start talking about your project and start sharing and testing from here and give it a head start.
And please response if you agree with this idea cuase i need everyone to join & make it a sensation.
If you age just type agee in reply so it will be update & later on everyone who start watching thread can see here at first.
If you are not agree please sugget here ideas which are needed to improve android experience.
Agree
Yes bro you are right we really need such collection of apps.
I means Google play is great & CM is also great. But Google play is not that good yest as CM & CM requires root. So it will be a great deal if we will be able to get best apps all in one package.
And app store of this great forum by itself will also be a great sensation on android world which also might lead us to new OS made by this forum itself/

Keyboard language problem
Hello, i already installed the ROM, but the keyboard language available is english.
Is there any way to set Spanish keyboard language??
Thanks for your support
Search the Kickdroid thread, this question has been asked many times.
Transmitted via Bacon
I posted this question originally in the kickdroid thread, and the post after had an admin note pointing to this q&a. I hope this post isn't breaking the rules. If it is, I will delete.
--------
Hi, i've installed Kickdroid (several times now over the last week) to my phne. It is quite fantastic. I came from the last available rogers update which was 4.1 (.??) and i was having issues with battery drain randomly that the Power app indicated was due to Google Play services.
The battery life is amazing, it is more than half way back to battery life of the new phone. If i pushed it, i could get 1.5 days on a charge
Before installing i read quite a bunch, including this entire thread. I noticed taht people had problems with some google apps. The first ROM flash, i basically let everything install. I had some problems with Google Hangouts crashing when trying to make phone call (to real phone requiring Hangouts Dialer). I installed a second time, and this time used Aroma options to not install all google apps (as was suggested to others in this thread that had problems with google apps). When the ROM was done flashing and was setup, i noticed that Google Talk was still installed on my phone. (I recall this to be predecessor to Google Hangouts). Therefore i uninstalled Google Talk using Titanium Backup.
After re-booting, i've since re-installed all the google apps that i want, including google hangouts (& hangouts dialer). When i try to make a phone call in hangouts, it still results in the same crashes.
I can't seem to attach the logcat via tapatalk, so here it's a link to the logcat in the original post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2993390&d=1414788940 (hope this works)
My phone (One XL -evita) is currently running Kickdroid 5.0, with firmware 2.15, s-off, and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thanks, David
I'm really appreciated for ROM developers' work! All these guys working really hard and give to all of us ROMs, with useful features and tuning. But...
Take a look on every first post for almost every ROM. Long-long-long list with huge banners like DISCLAIMER, CREDITS, FEATURES, etc. Are you really sure that your users can estimate your work looking on this "(des)infographics"?!
I'm personally, like thousands of other visitors, are looking for ROM, at first - without bugs, which may be vital for them. For example, ROM with excellent design and unique features is absolutely useless for me if there is a sim switching bug is exists in it. Just imagine situation: I switched off one of my sims and found that the only one way to return it back to work, is "reflash ROM"!!! Why? Bcz it's "a well known bug". Relay great case to get this knowledge, for example, right during going out of a plane in unknown country which you decide to visit first time in you life and left without any communication channel! )))
May I suggest to all ROM developers and regular ROM users list on ROM's first page or here in this thread very short text list with list of ROM's bugs and possible solutions for them, if any exists?
As I know, now there are following bugs that may be critical for lot of users:
fast charge - not working or working but haven't indicator in status bar.
root - buil-in or must be installed separately? Which one SuperSU, Magisk, or other one?
NFC & safetynet test - can this ROM provide wireless payments?
VOLTE - is it working?
sim switch off/on - you switching off one sim and then can't bring it alive even after reboot.
flight mode - after switching it off you must reboot your phone to make new calls.
led indicator - it may not work at all, may partially work with one blue color, can be tuned by LightFlow or other app
double tap to wake up - is it working from the box or required external app?
one key (energy saving switcher on left side) - is it working?
dark video - when switching from photo mode to video, picture and video itself becomes noticeable darker than photo.
finger print actions - don't work, work after reswitching navigation buttons, work with registered FP only.
huge bluetooth power consuming - showing more than 10% while in fact the weren't any device connected and BT wasn't in use.
Please review all above in my list ant type for us short report about their current state in your ROM.
And one more point: dear ROM builders, please do not use bugs descriptions like "same as lineage OS 14 from ....". When you publish your ROM some bugs may be present in other ROMs too. But later, in those other ROMs their authors may fix some of them, while in your ROM they still may left, because you haven't update it. Please don't confuse your customers and don't force them to scan all threads trying to find answers. You know your bugs - please simply list them. And maybe community will give you advice how to fix them (like in case with FP from HigwaySatr).

unfortunately "great" - it's only your emotion. To get facts - try to check every item from my list in your "great rom" and you will find at least "sim switch of/on" and "dark video" issues.
DotOS looks similar to ViperOS but it haven't "sim switch of/on" issues. but DotOS development already stopped (

it was done in my previous message - DotOS. One more choice - LOS from HigwayStar. As I found these twos are both without "sim switch off/on" bug. But they have some other bugs (f.e. dark video).
Now I switched from DotOS to HigwayStar because HWS still working on it, and DotOS is freezed.

can't understand - are you serious or ironic? but it seems to me - the last one.
if so - let me tell you: I'm really tired of the same dumb process:
discover "new" ROM at this forum -> backup currently running OS -> install new ROM -> make primary setup for it -> test that vital for me feature isn't work -> say 1-2-3 (un)censored words or sentences -> reboot to recovery -> wipe all installed stuff -> restore previous ROM with less bugs inside it -> one more time promise to myself no more trying unknown ROMs -> but... still watch for new releases.
ROM developers have enough time to draw useless first post dividing images, but appears so busy, to spent 2-3 mins for test above mentioned bugs and with real proud post their ROMs with the comment like "my ROM contains the only 3 bugs of total 12"? ))

If you're so dissatisfied, don't change ROM's then.
Hey. There's a good bugless(ughh) ROM it's called stock ROM. If you're not satisfied You can actually tell anything to them cuz you have paid for it. Have you tried that?
If you're so dissatisfied, don't...

my question was not about my satisfaction. it was about statistics - how many bugs from my list and which ones have every ROM published here.
I don't required recommendations or suggestions. I will be glad to see simple answers about each of 12 item - bugs exist or not. from anyone who had test them by himself )
Let me show answer example that I'm expected on:
LOS 14 from HigwayStar
fast charge - working but haven't indicator in status bar.
root - Magisk 16 built in ROM installation script
NFC & safetynet test - working, my payments were accepted lot of times. installing xposed module broke safetynet test (
VOLTE - supported, but I can't test bcz of absence 4G
sim switch of/on - working.
flight mode - after switching it off you can make new calls without any bodymovements.
led indicator - working out of the box. you can setup 16 mln colors, blinking speed and delays.
double tap to wake up - working from the box.
one key (energy saving switcher on left side) - may work, but ROM author decided to switch it off in latest release
dark video - when switching from photo mode to video, picture and video itself becomes noticeable darker than photo especially for dark scenes.
finger print actions - work after reswitching navigation buttons, even without registering FP.
huge bluetooth power consuming - showing more than 10% while in fact the weren't any device connected and BT wasn't in use. simply calculation issue, bcz battery isn't really draining by sleeping BT.
it's not an example. it's my real report about ROM that I'm currently using.
this report may be also about my DotOS usage, but i switched from DotOS to HWS because DotOS - frezed, and HWS - still under development.
Do you know what all bugs(super annoying) the stock ROM have? Did you bust into Lenovo forum and post things like this?
If yes then wait for their update (rip in advance)
If no then go try that and tell me if somebody gives a #@!*
This ROM development is nothing you own. It's developer's hobby which they do in their free time. So creating a thread like this with such a demanding attitude is crossing the line.
You said about the long post on every ROM like intro and blah. Blah. You should read them.
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* Third World War, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
If you think you can make something better do it by contributing towards ROM development.
Wow! So much angriness for one simple question! )))

instead of provide us answers for my question, if you have any one?
You are right - no one owes nothing to nobody! at this and all other forums.
I DON'T REQUIRE from somebody, and from ROM developers especially - any warranties and immediately fixing all existing and not existing bugs. Please reread my very first sentence in first post.

I simply want to get help from other users (or ROMs' authors) and collect in one place info about ROMs critical bugs, which maybe helpful for all of us here, to choose ROM, most appropriate for himself.
I have a question - I had asked it. On my previous post I gave an example of answer that I expected. If you haven't such answer - please don't grow Universe entropy and simply ignore my posts and topics. Let we all stop this flooding, and will concentrate on help one to another
How many threads like this are going to be opened ? And who are you to tell developers what to do or bemoan the lack of bugless ROMs ? Ask a mod to close this thread because it's useless as no developer cares about your opinion. This is one of the reasons why there should be a down vote button on XDA like there is on reddit.

I'm one of the users legion. I'm those who use ROMs which developers creating not for their own using. As far as developer decided to publish his ROM in the Internet, he MUST be ready to answer the questions about his ROM.
Let me repeat once more to be completely clear:
1) I don't want to test on my own phone ALL published here ROMs.
2) I asked ROMs' users or their authors help in checking and reporting existing of some vital for lot of users bugs, that MAY be present in these ROMs.
Why did you all pounce on me (instead of check and report bugs existing)?
Am I asking anywhere at least one ROM developer to immediately FIX bugs in his ROM?!!
One simple question with pre-prepared themplate to make answer as easy as it possible. Are any criminal in my 12 items bugs list?
Once more I'm urging all to switch from hollywaring to finding bugless ROM or at least clarifying which bugs are exists in each ROM.
Nice thread, Sorry there is no bug-less rom available for P2 right now ?
For me the only rom that has no bugs is stock mm 6 even stock nougat for me has a bug that Lenovo can't solve till now linegue os by HWS is the best with minor bugs that does not affect daily drive

Dude seriously if all people have a attitude like yours developers will just stop building roms altogether.
Hi everyone,
I have a RN5 global whyred waiting to have it's bootloader unlocked in a week and I am trying to collect as much information as I can about what would be the best set up once I unlock. But this has been a difficult process, since the information is all over the place and hard to keep up with. The known bugs list of most roms are not always updated, and sometimes a bug is mentioned in a thread, then not mentioned again for several releases, so it is hard to know if said bug has been fixed in the latest update. Camera mod info is also scattered in various threads. So I am asking for some help in collecting that sort of information. While I would like to collect this information for myself I hope it would be helpful for others who are looking for similar information, since my needs from a phone are most likely the needs of most people. If I have time I may even keep the second post updated with the latest info for a quick look for people who don't want to read the whole thread, though I make no promises about that.
In any case, these are my needs, and I would imagine, the needs of most people:
- calling
- sms
- data
- mms (on the Sim not active for data)
- Bluetooth calling and music
- WiFi
- gps
- reliable camera
- reliable finger print sensor
- root
- decent battery life
- no show stopping bugs (like ringtone or notifications going missing, alarm not sounding, random reboots, etc.)
I realize there is no such thing as software without bugs, but I think the above list is fair to expect from a phone.
If you could please reply to this thread with your current setup or a setup you recommend for the above functionality with the following information it would be appreciated:
- model (pro, China, global)
- Rom (build date)
- kernel (version or build date)
- gapps version
- recovery (version)
- root method
- gcam version
- any camera related mods, and method of flashing
- any other mods
- followed by any known issues with your set up, especially concerning any of the core functions listed above (e.g. I have read certain ROMs have laggy gameplay, which for me is not an issue as I don't game, but if you know your setup has such an issue, even if it's not important for you, please mention it.)
I hope this doesn't turn into another, "which is the best Rom" thread but provides more tangible information. In that light, please refrain from posting short posts like "x rom is the best."
I may adjust this OP if I see that more info is needed in each post, but I think that should suffice for the moment. Hopefully a collection of such info might mean that people won't have to flash and test every custom Rom in the dev section before settling on one.
Thanks in advance everyone.
