And it doesn't build with KK kernel either.

"Now, OmniROM has officially become the first large-scale custom ROM distribution to merge and successfully boot Android 5.0 Lollipop."

With this statement it's quite evident that Android Development is "now" all about supremacy and achievements rather than working together in a collaborative manner and producing something good. I have never heard a statement from developers of a linux distro saying "We have become the first linux distribution to officially support KDE 5 Plasma".

With so much hate towards other "Un-named ROMs" and knowing for sure that the L-Preview kernel is outdated and KK kernel doesn't work, It doesn't take a genius to differentiate between a showoff and an accomplishment. Anyways, Good work! :good:
[General Omni Discussion] JoeSyr:
Having a hard time finding what this refers to; what's on the wiki seems to be less "ideas and features" and more of a memo to maintainers for bringing older devices up to speed for basic Lollipop support.

I don't mean to be critical of people working on the basics first, just wondering if there's anything that I haven't found. Eager to see how Omni is going to evolve with this jump.

What about Live with Walkman (coconut) devices? Kitkat 4.4.4 is working just fine and stable. It would be nice if you could make 5.0 for this model :)
[General Omni Discussion] JoeSyr:
Well, there's that and the Features page, but they're last updated in April and May, so in the sense that we "have" those, we have goals built around KitKat's base.

Now, it's my sense that Omni is built pretty heavily on the concept of "Have an idea? Submit a patch for it!", but eventually there has to be a point where someone makes the executive decision. To me, a roadmap is the difference between "We're always open for suggestions" and "Here's what we're specifically aiming for, we're open to contributions to get us there."

I guess that for my part I don't feel like I have much to contribute in this realm (I'll happily be filing any bug reports once there are builds out), but the OP gave me the impression that there's been various levels of less-technical consensus that have been reached that specifically apply to the 4.4->5.0 bump.

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
I think xplodwild jumped the gun here. The truth is, he nor I have the time for the 4210 devices any more. I've touched my N7000 maybe 3-4 times in the past year, he has done even less work on the 4210s. He says he wants to do a bringup - but I don't think doing a bringup is a good idea if the device won't get touched for the rest of the Android release cycle.

I will say, they will definitely not come back to nightlies until:

1) A maintainer other than plodey or I is regularly active on IRC and working on the device

2) Someone figures out the root cause to the floating point register corruption issue that causes issues with the sdcard fuse daemon and other things. Workarounds/hacks that involve moving the FP registers are not sufficient here - the root cause itself needs to be found and solved.

It's a Samsung. Developers have grown to hate Samsungs over the years. Even the Qualcomm-based Samsungs are a pain in the ass to support

Someone has been working on hlte, but he's a college student so frequently doesn't have enough free time.

See above regarding 4210 devices

Maybe. I simply didn't have time to get that cleaned up with 4.4. There's another guy doing some work on it (Squadzone, who is one of our primary UI/UX guys) - but he's still learning the hardware side of things.

We don't do ETAs. All I will say is that Find 7 (all variants, including find7op) is likely to be one of the first non-Nexus devices supported since many of the Omni founders run Oppos as their daily driver. (Find 7 is likely going to be the pilot device for all Qualcomm 8974-based devices that use CAF repos - e.g. all Qcoms except for Nexus devices.)

Probably, it depends on how much free time myself, humberto, oliver, and the other guys who own fusion3 devices have. I intend to try and avoid dropping these devices if at all possible because of the wonderful support Sony has given many community developers over the years.

Unlikely. I9300 hasn't had a maintainer to fix bugs in many months. It's going away with 5.0 for this reason.

Very likely, almost guaranteed. We love Oppo, and we have numerous workarounds for the issues that have prevented Oppo from officially updating the device.

This should be covered in the FAQ in the Q&A section. irc.freenode.net - more details in the FAQ

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
That person is, for whatever reason of their choosing, not affiliated with Omni. If they were, they would have contributed fixes to the various bug reports against the I9300 during the previous development cycle.

We only consider a device to be actively maintained if:

1) Someone is actively investigating issues found with the device that are reported on JIRA

2) The person is regularly present on IRC to coordinate with the rest of the team

I9300 has had neither of the above for many months.

[General Omni Discussion] dajoro:
Security and Privacy Enhancements

100% support these enhancements to OMNI .. would provide something very worthwhile.

Ability to support native encrypted LUKS volumes on the external SD card would also be a worthwhile addition.

Would also add maybe a cut-down xprivacy to begin with. Even though the full implementation would be awesome there are definitely a subset of features that are probably the greatest bang for the buck.

Hi, greate work!!! Will there be One plus One release??
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
I'm going to ask people to please read the Omni FAQ in the Q&A forum before posting in this thread.

I will willingly provide rough estimates for devices that received nightlies in 4.4 as to whether we expect them to live through the 5.0 transition (If I know the answer. For some devices like G2, that's entirely up to the maintainer and I simply don't know.), since that isn't really answered in the FAQ.

But anyone asking about a device that did not receive 4.4 nightlies is going to get their posts reported for being lazy and not doing their research. Our FAQ is there for a reason.

I haven't seen him in ages.

Reading Is Fundamental.

[General Omni Discussion] Zwulf:
Come on guys, just be patient. Do you really think that asking for ETAs, which is btw. forbidden by XDA rules, or asking if this or that device will be supported will make things go faster anyhow? Just read the posts by pulser_g2 and Entropy512 and your questions will be answered. Don't be lazy and check which devices got nightlies with 4.4 - then you'll have your answer. I'm sure devs are as curious to get Lollipop working on their devices as you, so they will do that as fast as possible, but constantly asking if or when a device will be supported will make that process even slower, because they have to waste their time in threads instead of being able to hack actually. If none of the devs own your device it is very likely that your device won't be supported - and this is the case for EVERY ROM. You will see when there are builds online, just be patient. Thanks.

I also like to have a nice custom Lollipop on my i9300 and flo, but it doesn't make sense to constantly bother devs about that.
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
His last commit to any repo was August 13. He still idles on IRC but I haven't seen him say anything in ages, which leads me to believe he's of the same status as Rebellos (the former I9300 maintainer) - Still in touch with people, but simply too busy to continue as maintainer. Not a single bug report against any I930x device has been investigated by anyone in months.

[General Omni Discussion] eko_cahyono:

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
No. We found a few remaining things that derped phones, although most of those were fixed.

The short summary is: We chose to try and merge most repos instead of just resetting to AOSP android-5.0 and this proved to be a mistake. When we started hammerhead bringup, we found out that our telephony merges were... A pretty big mess. So we lost on the order of a week to a week and a half due to that and are playing catch-up now.

Right now I have hammerhead building and flo now builds with inline kernel source (instead of using the prebuilt kernel) - wifi is still screwy on flo and I hope to take a more detailed look at that tonight.

Our short-term goal is to focus on hardware bringup for non-Nexus devices once we resolve all the mergederps, so you won't actually see TOO much difference between Omni and factory images for another week or three at least.

What part of "No ETAs" don't you understand?

The guy working on it is a college student with a busy schedule. That's all I will say.
[General Omni Discussion] f0xy:
Take this as you will, I know all this is community driven and non profit. I get that.

But reading this thread/various threads/tweets, it is all making for confusing reading.

I believe Omni needs a big "tidy up" and to pave a clear path for the future.

Please take this as a positive criticism, I mean no harm or effect on Omni.

Maybe give some info on the Omni wiki/webpage which has all the active maintainers and devices, because quite frankly, the majority of users possibly don't even know what irc is let alone use it.

This is great. I would love to have Lollipop running on Find 7a, I am ok if I am missing some of the features of Omni in initial days. Thanks for switching focus to non-nexus devices.
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
We had a maintainers page somewhere on the wiki. I can't find it now, although I didn't spend too much time on it. Too busy with the code itself.

(A recurring theme, our website definitely could use some improvement...)

Haven't switched yet, hopefully soon. Finally got flo fully up and running from a source-built kernel (we found MORE mergederps we needed to reset out...) mako is next, then I'm going to work on 7a/7s with max.

I think that is likely. But, in OppoForums, morckx has compiled a universal layout KitKat build for Find 7 which supports partitioned, unified, LVM and unified+LVM.

That's my intent, although max ran into some straaaange problems with the LVM scripts.

Probably fixable but I have been too busy fixing Nexus devices so far.

Some of the initial bringup might be done without LVM but I don't intend on starting nightlies until LVM is working again.

Just wondering, is there a plan to get a working changelog service up and running again when 5.0 builds start rolling out? I've been using cmxlog, is that made by someone who's actively involved/affiliated with Omni? Maybe this feature might eventually come to Opendelta?

As a user it's very nice to have a service that's pre-filtered to my device, but I know that I can get the same info with a little more effort from the gerrit. Sometimes I browse it directly anyway to read the comments to better understand what's going on.
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
cmxlog is made by someone who has never been affiliated (and never communicates with) any of the projects they attempt to provide logs for.
[General Omni Discussion] JoeSyr:
That's a shame, I guess that they're more interested in ad revenue or they just like doing things on their own. Other than the apparent bug where the oldest version bleeds so far into the past (which can actually be sort of useful) it seems pretty well designed.

Sort of a worrisome thing to see the "talent" fragmented into standalone projects though. I feel like this is an increasing trend in the android community, although I guess for a lot of developers they can reach a wider audience if they're focusing on their own apps or XPosed modules than they can be signing on to a ROM project where the potential audience is limited by getting/keeping maintainers. Plus it seems like everyone's got their own needs in terms of how easy it is to spend their time without expecting any monetary compensation.

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
No, we didn't. Someone who has never communicated with us on IRC or any other method of coordinating with the team threw something together.

Many of the core team get VERY frustrated when someone throws together builds and posts them on XDA (usually to soak donations) without coordinating with the team to get their device officially supported, or to coordinate with existing maintainers to transition official maintainership to someone new.

I've said this before, and I'll say this again: Omni will NOT be providing nightlies for any device within the Exynos 4210 family until someone fixes the root cause of the floating point register corruption bug that has been screwing with storage for the entirety of the KitKat cycle. We have to set some sort of standards for quality so that when users download an official nightly, they can expect that it will USUALLY be in good working order. This hasn't been the case for 4210 devices for quite some time. They've had major bugs for the entirety of the 4.4 cycle and honestly should have had nightlies terminated for that reason months ago.

What part of "No ETAs" don't you understand?

Not until it gets a new maintainer or the former maintainer fixes some issues we've been asking him to fix for months.

Because it isn't quite ready yet? Too much is in flux that is periodically breaking the Nexus devices.

I don't expect us to start nightlies until at least some of our non-Nexus CAF devices and Nexus devices can coexist using the same frameworks/av and frameworks/native

We lost a lot of time due to attempting merges of a bunch of repos instead of just resetting them and starting from scratch. Unfortunately once we recovered from that, it was Thanksgiving in the USA so many of our developers were taking some time off.

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
You should be able to build for hammerhead yourself with minimal cherry-picks (I ask though, that you don't distribute builds here without coordinating with someone from the team). I want to get the nexus family cleaned to the point where zero unmerged cherry-picks are required in the next few days, but even then we won't do nightlies until things are a bit further along.
