Mikey is king of this forum. Would we just flash it as usual? Going to switch from xtrestolite back to looper ;) thanks for your hard work on this forum
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jmcandrews83:
I seam to have lost my stock weather widget how can I get it back please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Look a page or two back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
Hope this question is appropriate for this thread. I've been using Clean ROM 1.1 (AT&T) on my T-Mobile S6. Thinking about switching to Looper once it's 5.1.1 based. Clean ROM has been been bug free, and as stable as stock (most ROMs claim to be stable, but we all know that's not always the case). Anybody have experience with Looper as a daily driver? Several people have given positive review of it on Reddit and elsewhere on XDA. Just wondering what the difference would be otherwise.

Also, can I dirty-flash this over CleanROM 1.1? I usually do a clean wipe, but figured I'd ask if it'll save me some time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Brava27:
Clean wipe it, looper has a bunch of extras like less icons, no volume warning, etc... I love it to death, best ROM there is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikaeldalc:
Keyboard keeps defaulting to Samsung keyboard. I even turned it off in the INPUT METHOD method page. Any thought?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Mentalmuso:
Did you enable the second keyboard? If you are using Google keyboard then you have to click on the app icon to set it up properly. You probably already have though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
I'm not sure if something is different about the notification functions of this rom? I've been running it for about 4 days, but wasn't receiving any app notifications (Facebook, google+, Tapatalk, NHL app, etc.), although I've verified that notifications were turned on.

I just restored a nandroid backup of my previous rom (Alliance) and received close to 50 notifications from the past 4 days.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] yellowsn0w:
any updates on the 5.1.1 looper update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troysyx:
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE! Never ask for updates. As much you probably don't mean to be, its extremely disrespectful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] yellowsn0w:
I'm sorry but how is it disrespectful?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troysyx:
This guy has a full time job (thats not this), he probably has a family, friends, a life. He is doing this on his free time and letting us enjoy the benefits of his work, asking nothing in return. Asking for updates is like telling him to stop anything else he is doing, and work on bringing a custom ROM to you, to make sure you're happy, with no compensation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] yellowsn0w:
I am developer and I've done things in my spare time for others as well. Asking for updates is most definitely not like how you describe it. It is simply well asking for updates, I'm not telling him to stop what he is doing, simply asking if any progress has been made. It isn't too difficult to provide an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troysyx:
O.K
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
There's no root and no twrp which means no custom zips
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] airemid:
Being a developer yourself doesn't make your comment more tactful. I could just as easily write an adb script, have ten thanks to my profile, and call myself a developer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Did you mess with any application permissions in permission manager? I had the same issue with notifications and figured out it was become I turned off auto start on a bunch of system stuff that needs to be able to either run all the time or start on its own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
She's absolutely correct. No root no twrp equals no Looper x.xx

Hopefully twrp will be sorted in the next day or so. I already have my base ready to go ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
So ready! After failing to be able to Odin on my device, I was able to get the package into a zip and got it to flash...

Was stuck at the bootloader though and kept vibrating every 5 seconds or so, which is behavior I haven't seen yet. Gave up and called it a day, figured it was just the broken everything causing problems :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
You can't Odin just system and boot? I mean, honestly there's no reason to, 5.1.1 is a downgrade imo. For the most part. Memory is even more crowded.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
No, I didn't change anything with permission manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
I odin'd the system and it failed within moments. Left me with a soft brick telling me to do an emergency restore with Smart Switch (that was failing too). My only option was download mode...

I just had to flash twrp with Odin though and it cleared up the problem and allowed me to nandroid my backup. I think the recovery flash failed or something, not really sure what happened :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Maybe OEM unlock feature implies there's a lock by default now? God I hope not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
I'm not gonna lie, the thought has crossed my mind... This is the first time I've tried flashing an odin of the T-Mobile rom though, so I wouldn't be shocked if there's something about the image that's incompatible. I'm surprised it let me try to flash it though, if that's the case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Oh it's factory reset protection not traditional bootloader lock, didn't know that it was already present on the older edge builds. /phew

I still get the feeling I'm going to have to void my warranty (again) in the upcoming days/weeks lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I can confirm, the bootloader is still unlocked. I'm able to boot a hacked recovery with adb with no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
great news. One step closer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] frettfreak:
Been running it off and on and its the one i keep coming back to. Great stable rom, awesome batterylife and most annoying touchwiz features removed. GREAT daily driver.

As someone said, do a clean install (anytime you are changing roms you should do this really unless its just an update to the same rom you are already runnning) :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alexandroid5:
Do you know what this is for?

(The OEM unlock feature)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
Awesome, think I will install it. Now the ultimate question is whether to wait for the 5.1.1 version or pull the trigger now.

I'm running the Unikernel. If I flash this ROM with TWRP, will the included kernel with Looper be flashed over my existing kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
I'm pulling the trigger right now, not gonna do the 5.1.1 update until root is avail.

And yes the kernel will be replaced
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
I just flashed Looper 2.0 from TWRP and I'm stuck on the Samsung screen :(

UPDATE: Nevermind haha, I'm a dumbass and was too impatient. Had to wait at least 1 minute at the Samsung screen. Christ that made my heart stop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Takes a few minutes to boot on a clean install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
So NEON isn't ON in v4a.... anybody able to resolve that? It's processing, but without NEON can't use convolver...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
A few pages back someone posted the steps to get it working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
where is the lib folder incorrectly installed??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
I'm not sure if it gets installed or not. When you install v4a regularly via just opening the apk file it'll install base.apk (v4a) and lib in data/app/com.vipercn~something.

What I did was I installed V4A regularly as a user app using the apk provided on the V4a website, on top of the V4A already present in looper. Then I used a file manager with root access to copy the lib folder from data/app/com.vipercn to the system/priv-app/viper4android folder. Make sure the v4a folder has permissions 0755 as well as files inside (might not be necessary but I did anyway). After that I deleted the data/app/com.vipercn folder cause if you leave it it'll conflict with the system one.

Reboot before opening the app / installing the driver and then see what happens. It's worked to install V4a properly, for me at least, on this rom and on others which don't have the integrated settings support so should work :good:

I believe the lib folder contains arm compatibility files

edit: I also believe mikey is using a slightly tweaked (better) version of V4A so if you want to keep his don't copy the base.apk file into /priv-app/v4a, only copy the lib folder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
There has to be a better way to get this lib folder. Ill brb with a better way lol

I have a v4a lib flash file i used, still tinkering around still not working, what i don't get with your method is there already exists a v4a in the priv-app folder, if the one the Dev is using is a modified v4a wouldn't this replace it?

also the lib flash file has about 13 diff lib files that it flashed to system\lib\musicfx

Update :

DERP DERP DERP, well my methods aren't working, so i'm nandroiding back and attempting your method sir, will report back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
Is there a third-party app which can restore the volume notification icon? I like the look of the notification bar without it, but alas, it's kind of necessary to have a quick way of knowing whether my phone is one silent. Don't want to be that dude in meetings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
So, i followed your steps, installed v4a user app, moved lib folder changed permissions deleted old v4a user app in data\app

NEON: NO

Keep in mind i had already installed the drivers prior to doing all this. Performance didn't change as it is still processing as before, but without convolver i can't do much with it

Can you verify yours is NEON enabled on spotify, or Power Amp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Paradoxumical:
Here's an easier method...

Install Dark and XHiFi as user applications, install the drivers, move the A4X and XHiFi apks into /system/priv-app, then reboot. Of course, ensure the apk permissions are set before rebooting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Thanks ill try this.

Question though - a4x already exists as it is built into the rom.... so i will skip this portion and install dark as user app and xhifi into system/priv-app

Also the drivers are already installed.... Should I uninstall these drivers (i feel like just clean wiping and starting over at this point lol)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
Has anybody had trouble with S Health? If constantly force closes on me. If I try to unii stall it, Titanium Backup warns me its uninstalling base.apk so I always cancel. I've tried wiping S Health data. Any idea on how to get a fresh copy of S Health on here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
Here is the latest V4A neon enabled with all the extra files and I've even included a bunch of favorite convolvers that I've collected over the years.

Just download and flash in recovery, no need to move or delete anything.

Also, I'm sure we've all found our favorite Theme right? Something just doesn't look right though... It's the statusbar signal and data icons!

Well u have started porting my "Missing Link" Aroma theme builder. If any of you know me from the past I'm sure you've ran the zip. This build is just a small preview of what's to come.

It is compatible with Looper and OZOP of course. I can't promise it for any other rom.

Just flash in recover and the installer will say where to go and it has previews of the choices during install as well. Please bare with me while I build this because it takes a lot of time and I'm sure there are a couple of preview that may not show (I forgot the 3minit previews). You don't need to tell me about them, I know where they are.

Missing Link "Statusbar edition"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Dude, this worked, i love you.

I want your zip file to be in the OP, or stickied somewhere lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Paradoxumical:
Uninstall the built-in V4A, then do what I said.

Edit: Nevermind, just read your post. Glad you got it working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Ok i got one more question, does anyone have a accuweather widget flash (or the samsung weather widget that comes with stock rom?) thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
Here is the stock weather
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] docfreed:
WiFi Calling

I see that alerand posted "also, note wifi calling working :P Less sure about this one but I think I had removed "IWlanContentProvider.apk" I left it in this time and it's working...."

Is this all that we need to enable WFC on Looper - I thoight wifi calling had to be enabled in the framework?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Wifi calling has always worked in looper.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] docfreed:
Thanks (for the info, your hard work and the ROM)- must have missed it in the features - I'm proceeding with installation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Perfect, thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
If you choose to replace it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
This ROM has almost doubled my battery life. And I'm coming from CleanROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Yeah you have to uninstall drivers first, supposed to do it all before you touch the v4a app, glad to see you got it working though.

Also sorry for confusion, wifi calling works by default on looper, I had removed an apk trying to debloat some stuff and figured out adding it back got it to work again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mpodval:
Question that's kind of unrelated to this Rom: previous phone had the image stabilizer hardware problem. I sent it back even though Knox was tripped. How long before I should trip Knox on the replacement phone to install looper? Worried that tmo might still try to get the new phone back or charge me. It's been 2 weeks since they received it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
T-Mobile doesn't trip on Knox. You're good. They give us unlocked bootloaders when other carriers lock their devices down. They could do the same but choose not to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] william guz:
Help....every time I receive a call the person at the other end can't hear me and I can't hear them, the person have to call me twice for the phone to work. Help???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
FYI [MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION]

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/06/1...store-app-brings-missing-system-toggles-back/

I tried installing this on Looper, to no avail

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Not having this issue... Have you turned off VOLTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It means you aren't missing any toggles
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
But i don't have the data toggle or the mobile hotspot one either :\

or am i missing something or not doing something right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Top two kernel wakelocks are per betterbatterystats

13930000.decon_fb

and

Powermanagerservice.display

Both have the same exact time. minus 15 seconds.

Does anyone have an idea what this is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] teiglin:
There is a tutorial in Themes and Apps for adding more toggles. Data and hotspot are not included by default in the tmo firmware.

Pretty sure that's your screen-on time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynarutoman:
Did a clean install, and running the phone with the same setup (Greenify, Servicely, same apps, same usage) suddenly gets me 2.5hrs SOT on Looper 2.0 instead of the 4.5hrs SOT I got on r3 :/ any ideas? GSam only shows me high system drain...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Give it a chance to settle in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Not bad, I'm coming from a note 4 so I as used to 7hrs of sot...

The below includes an hour phone call and two hours of Bluetooth streaming music during gym.

So far I'm at 70% today with 1.75hrs

Of sot

Thoroughly enjoying it. Also are these statistics standard for s6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Once the stock firmware is debloated of most of Samsung's crap yes. Typical idle drain is less than .25% an hour, and 4-5 hours sot isn't hard to accomplish over an 18 hour day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ambervals6:
Way better battery life in stock rom. Rom is buggy.

Sent from my SM-G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
that's exciting to hear, i imagine i'd have to skip phone calls and bluetooth streaming and just be using it non-stop to achieve this numbers, sans the fb app :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jongcruz:
What kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
stock,

i saw ktoonez is on here too.

I kind of wanna try other kernels but figured why if i'm getting good results apparently?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
is the DHA memory management tweaks involved in this rom\kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
anyone know what this icon is, i know it's related to lockscreen notifications, but if i unlock the screen shouldn't the notification go away? and why would there be one for messages via google messaging and a sms lock screen notification?

When i turned off lockscreen notifications i didn't get ANY notifications

halp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] datdirtyscrew:
In application permissions. Does it have a reset option to go back to default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Thanks for getting back to me, what was going on was with Greenify, since we don't have xposed yet, i am using experimental features for keeping notifications of greenified apps, so greenify replaces the original notification with their notification but when you unlock the lock screen you have both greenify notif for messages and messages notification.

The icon is highlighted in my screenshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Did you figure out a way to clear the notification without restarting? I get the same thing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] markapowell:
I did a clean install and I don't get emails from either Gmail or stock mail unless I go into them. Thanks for the rom and any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I rushed 2 out guys. Use 1.2a

Also, we have root and recovery now so I'll start working on Looper x.x
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
What's wrong with 2.0??.. I've been running last 2 days and it works for me.. I get deep sleep my phone doesn't heat up I get WiFi calling. . I like ozop for the customizations but my battery would heat up and I tried xtrestolite and enjoyed it but didn't get deep sleep or WiFi calling and also my phone would heat up. . I know no 2 phones are alike but mine seems to like looper thus far. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
people are reporting losing push notifications on 2.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
I haven't noticed but I'll definitely keep an eye out. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tbns:
How do I get the Samsung camera back up this ROM? Google Camera us a tad too slow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
i'm still testing.. but i think it's related to greenifies "keep notification of greenified apps" option in experimental features.

ill verify tomorrow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Gimme the (boot) Loop! :victory:

Looking forward to it :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I didn't remove the Samsung camera app lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
Makes sense what I'm going through
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Deodexing 5.1.1 now. Should have a zip for you guys soonish...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
She's booting up! Lemme see what all is broke. And I'm waiting on a fresh of the git boot.img from [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] before I upload...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
can't wait! thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
working through a few issues, nothing major. she boots but i get endless fc's. shouldn't take long to fix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
does [MENTION=4316709]savoca[/MENTION] have all what he needs to update kernel for 5.1.1 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I have no clue, unfortunately though we are very limited as to what kernels we can use. The ONLY kernel right now that supports root is [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] unikernel. That is what will be included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] iexplus:
Would you include a guidance for the new recovery as well? As I'm coming from 5.02, I just want to make sure not screwing anything up and safely follow the best instructions. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
I'm just hoping this tmobile.pr.adapt is removed. I get a notification, because I denied it root access, every other damn minute. It definitely seems like it is trying to do something in the background lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Got fc's narrowed down to NFC and for the life of me I can't figure it out. Logs aren't much help either. I'll get it posted as soon as i can
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
Wow so 5.1.1 got root? ?..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Freeze or delete it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
Literally just coming to edit my comment. You think greenifying it would be good enough? That's what i did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Nope. Greenify simply hibernates nonactive apps. As long as tmobile.pr.adapt is present on your phone, it will always try to run in the background, and never give Greenify a chance to work...which is what you are observing :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] v2.2v:
Nice :) that's why i asked! thanks man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
Does anyone know where I can find the Galaxy app store??.. Love the rom just want to add that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jongcruz:
Yes and also recovery.....works great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
How are you running it is there a rom out already??.. I know Mike is working hard for us to get something out.. I'm excited
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jongcruz:
No rom out yet but I Odin factory 5.1.1 then modified recovery and finally root it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
....

Here's a link to a flashable zip. Not deodexed. Just stock debloated. It's a start. I wouldn't do a clean install for now. Just dirty flash. It might bootloop a few times on first boot, just let it do its thing.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXyT5PTGsEHMHdmdzNwRExBVE0/edit?usp=docslist_api

Here is the SecSettings2 apk with application permissions enabled. Use root explorer to paste it in and set permissions.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwXyT5PTGsEHa0Z3RnB2dm1hblk/edit?usp=docslist_api
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Let's hope this doesn't mess up my w8 ;) Flashing shortly!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KINGDROID25:
So I'm on looper now 2.0 I can just dirty flash over correct??..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Make sure you guys have updated to the newest version of twrp. 2.8.7.1

Yes, dirty flashing over Looper should be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] initialtouch:
just curious anyone who using this deodexed rom found the theme store is not working properly? It keeps crashing on my end or do I need a fresh install? FYI, I just formatted the system as instructed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I've never enemy tried to open it. But, you're right. It does fc. Some of the deodexing tools have been updated so I may start with a clean slate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Not sure it's going to get any better -- we need someone comfortable with smali edits to take a look. Mikey and I have pretty much exhausted testing edits to all of the documented code.

There is one setting that might affect the color of icons on the screen. I'm not sure... Honestly, the service is broken as it is, so the small bugs are less important than it's general broken-ness

From what I can tell the DozeService doesn't seem to be started (checked using a service manager) -- force starting it with activity manager doesn't seem to make it work, either.
