will try to answer, but its my own opinion and will be incorrect
the tabs 16g is split up into sections. we only get to use 13ish
1stly, lets go back to GB partitions
we have system - where rom goes
app data - applications go here
cache - dalvik cache
user data - our internal sd
as android developed, things changed.
cache files became stored in app space. apps could go in user. we could move stuff from app to sd.
clever people used this cache space for other things. (see supercharger for example) eg swap space
(at one point the omni nightly had a huge app partiton)
now lollipop has done away with dalvik (moved to art) the cache partition is totally wasted
i would want this space back...
our great devs have done so and now we have
system
app data
user data
great, lollipop woo hoo
ahh... now you want to go back...
well all the previous roms expect one more partition...
i would guess the missing sd card is the last partition so expect the previous one (guessing cache) is 12G....
and cache is unused...
not good hey
using odin and ticking the repartition box will relay the partitions based on the boundary sizes specified in the pit file.
of course this means trashing ALL data on the tab.
which means we lose all partitions (recovery, modem)
the safestock files / etc will put a version back on.
then a custom recovery
then flash away....

been here for a while and dont need to post too often
the tab forum is better than others i also look on.
just a reminder, this is a nightly. i expect things to break,
and there's motivation on finding answers when you have bricked your device

Thanks for a long and interesting answer.
For others having problems: I found out it failed because I did not use twrp recovery. I did not have to restock to retry, I just flashed omni 4.4.4(Has twrp) twice, every time booting directly to recovery , then flashing lollipop. Looks great so far!
Thanks @humberos and @salahmed
Hi,
I am experiencing problems with storage on this Lollipop. I had to remove some programs to install new ones even though there is 11 gig free on the partition. The same way i had to delete some files on the internal disk to be able to copy new ones still with much free storage. Probably this also accounts for much of the unstability.
Any ideas?

Hello, I am having a little bit of trouble flashing lollipop. When I try flashing it from 4.4.4 omni in twrp it gives me an error message saying I should flash the 'package.zip' from an external sd card, although when I try to flash from the ext-sd card it gives me the same error (something about an lvm partition if that helps). Can anyone please tell me what to do in this situation? Thanks in advance
Are you sure it was the same error? First time when you try flashing from ext it will exit just to warn you about the changing of partitions. Maybe it was that message the second time? If so just do it once more...
Yes, I have tried flashing more than once, it keeps giving me the same error, any ideas?

I am no expert myself but it might help if you copy the complete error message here. Maybe someone have an idea. Also there is a log in the menu in twrp that might give more info on whats going on ☺
Tanks for the suggestion. Yes I know some problems with apps is fixed with clearing cache. But the problem with using the storage remains a described. For example if I uninstall a program and clear the cache og play I can install a new program. But the next will fail if there is not enough space. Sometimes with error 492. Sometimes 502 if it goes full while downloading. It looks like i get to use about 2 gig of 14 gig storage before it fails. Just now settings/storage page tells me i have used about 2gig while file manager says i have used 1 gig(not seeing the apps i supect) and both copying files and installing programs have stopped working at the same time. Now also some programs get unstable until i delete files or uninstall a program...
You can write to sdcard freely like obbs, music, movies, but the cache will fill up quickly, so the only solution is clearing cache of apps aggressively. @humberos
BTW If you feel it laggy install greenify

Thanks for the reply, I've got it working now, looks like twrp was just playing up.
P.S. how long did your first boot take you guys coming from kitkat? Mine has been on the omni logo for a while now (blinking android)

Hello, I had the same problem first with being stuck in the TWRP.
When in TWRP Wipe, doing a "factory reset".
Then flash a second time the ROM.
My Tab is now booting and I see the green Omni Android smiling at me
Well, if your touch screen isn't working in the TWRP this is surely a problem because then you can not factory reset and flash again

Must have an easier way from restock but with the files I had I went to cm10 with that humberos kernel than to cm 11 to get newer cwm than omni 4.4 with a format of system than finally got twrp working

Thanks! Works fine for me. The only bad thing - our Tab is too weak for ART.

About Omni
The goal of Omni is to experiment with Android development because we enjoy it. Omni isn’t better, just different. It’s another option for the billion Android users out there. Android (vs. iOS and every other mobile OS) has thrived on options as well as the gigantic, talented development community that has emerged to build those options. That’s the beauty of Android – that you can pick and choose from a smorgasbord of devices with varying features and functionality.
Code:#include /* * Your warranty is now void. * * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear 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 me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot. */

for anyone want to flash a kernel using Hiemdall frontend under windows:
1- download Heimdall suite 1.4.0 from http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
2- extract and then install the driver (reboot to download mode by holding power and volume down to get out of the boot loop) connect the tab and run the zadig.exe inside the driver folder inside the suite. Select Samsung composite device from first menu and hit install or replace driver.
3-run Heimdall frontend and in utilities tab select detect, once detected select save as and type p1000 for example and hit download. This will download your tab pit file to the PC. See the attachments
4- go to Flash option in the frontend and under PIT hit browse and navigate to the folder you saved your pit file and select it. Then under Partition (files) press add, in Partition details select kernel and browse for the kernel you want to flash in your PC (you can flash kernel extracted from flashable zip "the boot.img file". See images below. .
- hit start...

Thanks16720p video recording
Hi @all!
I have 2 news
1 is bad
1 is good
first, bad one :crying:
We'll lost 480p (720x480) video recording resolution
now, good one
We'll get 720p (1280x720 - 30fps) video recording resolution
I think we can use 800x600 as 480p profile instead 720x480 :good:
I will merge it soon...
