S2/S3/Note take a huge percentage in the download counts of any custom ROMs

it's a bad platform... But there is still lots of users using them regularly... Hopefully you guys can give us some L builds... I won't be that sad if you stopped since I know how hard it's to still even offer us some builds for KitKat...

Thanks..

Even I own an S3, but after reading this, I really wouldnt be pissed to see it being dropped
[General Omni Discussion] ahmedelhofy:
Yea, I know I already said that I won't be sad to see it getting dropped..
[General Omni Discussion] logomancer:
Last week, jakew02 said that he's going to drop support for Galaxy S4 LTE (jflte) when Lollipop arrived. He's leaving the source up, but OmniROM Lollipop on the S4 will need a new maintainer.
[General Omni Discussion] pulser_g2:
The key message here is that the core team can't maintain every device!

As much as we hate to remove devices, there will be a significant number removed, if there's no active maintainer for it. No device will be enabled for L nightlies (and thus official support) if there's nobody active and competent who is maintaining it.

If you've always wanted to get involved, now really is the time - L is upon us, and good things are happening :)

Going forward, if there is sufficient interest from the community (i.e. go out there and talk to devs and contributors from other projects please!), we are more than happy to facilitate making the 4.4 branch of Omni an ongoing project.

For this to work though, it would require enough developers to come together on legacy devices to make it viable. With new major Android versions, a lot of custom ROMs simply don't continue support for devices "left behind", but we're willing to try this out as an experiment. If there are sufficient (experienced) developers, we'll have 4.4 as an active project which will accept features and patches as normal.

For this to work though, it does require everyone to play their part - we'll need reliable people to review and approve changes etc, as well as active maintainers for devices.
[General Omni Discussion] Olivier:
Hi,

that's not really necessary if you ask me. We could always bring the kernel in sync with CAF, but that's it. This is also what OEMs do when updating their kernels (apart from fixes and such). Jerpelea, a Sony Mobile developer, agrees (see this post).

Also there aren't many "active" Xperia fusion3 (Z, ZL, Tablet Z) maintainers at the moment , and I haven't had enough time for such things.

BUT: Contributions are always welcome.
[General Omni Discussion] Hunter1998:
Help

I don't know much of anything about developing but am fairly competent and comfortable with flashing ROM's and kernels. I own an N5, and would be willing to help however possible.
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
In that case - file bugreports in JIRA, since your device does have a maintainer. One does not gain the skills to be a maintainer overnight. Most people I know, including myself were "co-maintainers" (assisting with bringup but not solo) on devices for a year or more before their first time "flying solo".
[General Omni Discussion] Gokulbalram:
I became one overnight ._. (Nowhere near a skilled maintainer though.) I only know how to compile. Nothing other than that :/

lg e450

sorry if this the wrong thread to post.

I have an old lg e450(mtk 6575), and all the sources has been released by lg. Can anything be done to make this device alive?
[General Omni Discussion] Hunter1998:
Who do I need to contact to help?
[General Omni Discussion] pulser_g2:
I believe xplodwild is your device maintainer (Nexus 5) - might want to drop into #omnirom on IRC, and just get used to what goes on.

That device will need a bring-up soon, and it will be a good chance to see what goes on and perhaps try little bits and pieces.
[General Omni Discussion] Hunter1998:
I shall do just that as soon as I get home! Thanks!
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
All? Are you sure? LG has never released ALL source code for a given device, only GPL components. No OEM has ever done this except for Google with Nexus devices, and Sony is close with partial support (they're working on getting fully-working AOSP builds, but blob redistribution licensing issues prevent this.)

Also, I know from experience that even if you actually have ALL of the source code available to an OEM for an MTK device, it's such a horrific mess that it's nearly impossible to properly integrate into a proper AOSP project without screwing everything else up. MTK's software is an utterly disorganized mess. (Specifically, a number of the Omni team members have had access to an OEM's complete source tree for an MT6589 device for something on the order of a year. Despite this, we haven't been able to support any MTK devices from any OEM.)

Hopefully Android One helps here - it's the first remotely sane kernel for MTK, but it looks like the platform side of things is still not in AOSP.

If you look through history, you'll see a lot of developers rant about the difficulty of supporting Exynos 4 devices. MTK is such a nightmare that by comparison, Haxxinos4 is dreamy.

As far as IRC, I strongly recommend reading through the FAQ. A lot of the team are hardcore idlers - it can sometimes be hours before you see a reply. (For example, if you mention me in the channels during North American business hours, you can be pretty much guaranteed I won't see it until the evening.)

Right now, hammerhead builds and boots to the setup screen with a lot of hacks (resetting a bunch of repos) but NFC crashloops for some reason that I won't have time to investigate until tonight at the earliest.

I plan on creating a wiki page soon to cover setting up bouncers or Quassel core/client - these allow you to easily idle in a channel with complete history even when not necessarily present. Pretty much every member of the team uses a bouncer or Quassel core+client. (I was one of the last to change here, but even before, I just left a client connected almost 24/7)

Can anyone dump the recovery.img of this phone and it's partition table?
[Micromax Canvas A1] k2wl:
above both methods work for anyone?????

i cant root it.

kingroot get pass green button but i cant press blue button.
[Micromax Canvas A1] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Well it worked for some guys. Good to see you here k2wl!!
[Micromax Canvas A1] Umang96:
Someone please upload stock dump or even system and boot.img from backup will do, other mt6582 devices are waiting for it ;)
[Micromax Canvas A1] joshuab227:
Have you actually tried this on an Android One device ?

All I get is this Green spinning circle in the center for KingRoot on my MMX A1.

All the exploits in Framaroot also fail.

On another note , this is not your standard run of the mill MTK 6582 device.

It does not have a preloader and so cannot be flashed or dumped using SPFlash tool.

The bootloader can be unlocked as follows :

Get into fast boot mode by pressing volume up and power at the same time while the phone is switched off.

Then use the volume up button to navigate to fastboot mode and volume down to select.

The following command unlocks the bootloader :

fastboot oem unlock

But make sure you format cache and userdata after doing that otherwise you will get stuck on the boot animation.

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

The recovery is also non existent as you get a fallen robot with some chinese text under it.

I've attached a screen of the partition table according to mtk droid tools.

I have tried all possible methods to root this phone but have been unable to do so.
[Micromax Canvas A1] k2wl:
http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...-spice-dream-unomay-android1-devices-t2881845

this is a some info you were looking for.

still no root.

when i got root. i will post more info.

i have got the system dump but cant upload it as too big and net connection is bad.

@joshuab227

looks like we both found fastboot unlock same time. :)
[Micromax Canvas A1] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Can you also paste the contents of the file proc/dumchar_info? Run:

cat /proc/dumchar_info

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Also did you guys try any other rooting method? I think one click root isn't gonna work.
[Micromax Canvas A1] k2wl:
and i cant pull recovery.img without root.

i will try more methods to root.
[Micromax Canvas A1] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Hmm... This isn't at all like other mtk devices. Google had changed something a lot.
[Micromax Canvas A1] k2wl:
as noted above by @joshuab227 no preloader.

so SPPflash tool does not work.
[Micromax Canvas A1] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Did towelroot work for you?
[Micromax Canvas A1] k2wl:
no towelroot dont work!!
[Micromax Canvas A1] joshuab227:
No , towel root does not work either.

The only option seems to be compiling a rooted kernel from source and flashing that to get get root.
[Micromax Canvas A1] iblaziner786:
Sorry!!

i havent tried it yet i hav stated easy and quick method to root mt6582!! hav patience and wait until i get the device estimated delivery date is 25 September!!! :angel:
[Micromax Canvas A1] joshuab227:
Delete
[Micromax Canvas A1] joshuab227:
This device is very different from other mt6572 devices and so cannot be rooted the same way.

Hopefully someone will figure a way out.

It would be nice if you could update the opening post too so that people don't waste their time trying the old exploits.
[Micromax Canvas A1] hell_lock:
Can you provide me with your boot.img?
[Micromax Canvas A1] joshuab227:

restoring whatsapp is child's play.. just copy wahtsapp folder from your old phone to the SDcard of new phone..install whatsapp normal way enter your number & it'll load up your old chats from copied database files..

other way is using "adb backup" you may run command in command prompt connecting first phone-

adb -d backup com.whatsapp -apk -noshared -nosystem -f "D:\whatsapp.ab"

this will retain your whatsapp but not sure about all chats & media files..

to restore just run this command by connecting new phone-

adb -d restore "D:\whatsapp.ab"

NOTE you'll have to enable usb debugging in developer options

First of all, Im new here so I would like to apologise if I have broken some forum rules.

I hope there are few clashers in the forum because Im going to need some help with installing the latest updated version of the game. The reason why I turned to this forum is firstly because the game forum haven't been helpful to me and secondly because I think this is a problem related with my phone Moto G xt-1033. My problem is that everytime I try to install the update I get an error which says I don't have enough storage to install the update. I have already cleared up 4gb worth of space but I keep getting the same error. I have unistalled several apps like Lucky Patcher, xInstaller,etc but nothing helps. Also I am afraid to delete the previous version because I haven't linked it to Google+. I have already advanced a bit far into the game and I don't want to lose it. Can somebody please help me woth this? I will be always grateful

First and foremost I'd like to thank all the developers on working so hard on giving us amazing ROMs

I'm not going to ask which is best. That's like kicking myself in the testes. But... Ihave searched a few. Watched reviews . kinda did my hw.

But can anyone suggest a ROM close to stock, least issues, has the multi window function working for all apps. Better tweaks. Overally... What the touch wiz was throttled back for.

Im currently on dirty unicorn, tried jelly bomb and ooooh man... I wanted the jedix20 soooo bad. But they didn't port it to sprint. Just everyone else. I did hear someone had a sprint fix to it. But I couldn't find it. Nor can I really trust it.

But I'd love to play with the Jedi if possible.

Main problem is that since the sprint galaxy note 2's lifetime is nearly up. Had the developers have abandoned it for the note 3. The other half is completely giving up on it as soon as the note 4 comes out. So... Hence recently updated. So... If anyone can suggest a few good ROMS, ILL CHECK THEM ALL OUT! But since there are so many, and half are just dead. I'd like live suggestions. Please.

If anyone knows how to get the Jedi x20 into sprint note 2 I'd be most appreciative.

Thank you in advance.

[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] can u help pls also how

also if i flash the official kk for t210r would i need to install your custom kernel or what again sorry just confused
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
If you want to flash the full firmware, then download it from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.

Then you can install custom recovery with Odin.

Be aware that if you flash the full firmware package, it has a new bootloader that doesn't play nice with custom recoveries. If you use any software method to boot into your custom recovery, you will get stuck in recovery and must flash stock recovery to be able to boot the OS. You can use a custom recovery only if you POWER OFF; then use the 3-button method to boot into your custom recovery.

[Security Discussion] emccalment:
I have thus far been unable to find the information I'm looking for in regards to full disk encryption for Android. When you encrypt the drive, Android uses the same password used for unlocking your phone. There are methods out there to defeat the lock screen. Does this bypass encryption as well?

I assume that if it's really encrypted then getting around the lock screen without the appropriate password/key combination would result in you being unable to access the data. If this is not the case then the question becomes whether or not the data can be considered encrypted while the hard drive remains on the phone.

Anyone have any practical knowledge of this, and of whether the key for turning the phone on is the same as for unlocking the phone? I would appreciate any input toward this discussion. Thank you!
