I'll get this fixed ASAP, working on it right now. Initially removed Loki support from the msm8960-common repository as it was moved to the jflte repository with the unification.

As I have come to find out, the unification process was done half-assed and incomplete, thus leading to these Loki issues.

Some general information for those that experienced the Loki issues:

If you get stuck on the Yellow Triangle screen again (this happened to me hundreds of times):
  • Power off the device (removing the battery is fine)
  • reboot the device directly into recovery
  • wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
  • flash another, LOKI'D ROM, or re-flash the ROM and be sure to flash Loki_Doki
  • If you cannot reboot back into recovery use a tool such as heimdall to flash stock images
  • TriangleAway *should* be able to reset the binary counter back to 0x0, thus removing the Padlock Custom splash screen and restoring the normal splash image
  • FLASH LOKI_DOKI BEFORE BOOTING and you should not have any issues.
  • I have updated all of the device trees and will be having them tested thoroughly before merging anything

I am totally and completely re-doing the entirety of the jflte repositories tonight. hopefully all of these stupid issues will be resolved. A test build will be posted on OmniROM's G+ Community Page when it is available.

I apologize for my absence here, I had to get rid of the device several months ago. I did not request ownership change of this thread because the other jflte maintainers didn't want it, as they were monitoring here, but they have since quit omnirom.

I will be working on the jflte repositories again until a full-time device maintainer is found for omni's jflte support.

Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences here.

Test build is posted in the OmniROM Google+ Community - Samsung Galaxy S4 Section

Full custom kernel support is back as well ( a user just reported that KToonsez's kernel works


Loki fix is pushed. LokiDoki should no longer be needed, but just keep it in case of a fluke.


Individual variant build will also be stopped ,and only jflte unified will be built once I push the changes. YOU MUST, MUST, MUST CONDUCT A FULL-WIPE WHEN SWITCHING FROM A VARIANT BUILD TO THE UNIFIED BUILD. DO NOT POST ABOUT BUGS IF YOU DIDN'T DO A FULL WIPE/CLEAN INSTALL

While I've moved onto another device recently thought I'd come back and drop this in a thread I still follow. Our own @jakew02 made recognized developer recently. Congratulations. Show the man some love today on his achievement. A lot hours bringing love to us to achieve that. Appreciate you being here Jake.

Hasn't been much activity here in a bit. Any updates? The JFLTE variant is getting nightlies but the JFLTEVZW build that's linked in OP hasn't gotten one in about a month. Are these two different or should we be using JFLTE?

Yeah I figured as much. I tried the latest nightly from there out to see if custom kernels work on it and still had the screen tearing problem. But that build I tested for you a bit ago you had custom kernels working fine. Should they be working now or are whatever changes you tested not integrated? Thanks jake.

    YES!! haha

    we need logcats or we can't see what's going on behind the scenes



    i just merged in a LOT of stuff that i'm going to be testing out over the next few day(s) and if all is well it'll be merged in. basically - good proper sources

    oh and custom kernels support and hotword detection should be fixed.

    Im making absolutely NO promises on that , because heck, it could blow up in my face. who knows, hahah


    boot hangs should be fixed, some camera updates, and wifi drivers are updated in next nightly 12/11

    So... I've read the 'this is what custom roms should be' press release three times now, and I still have no idea what differentiates Omni from other ROMs. Is it a custom interpretation of AOSP code, like Cyanogenmod, or features ladled over Cyanogen code, like most other ROMs? Does it offer any of the fiddly knobs of Paranoid Android, or is this going to be a feature-avalance like AOKP or PAC?

    I know things are still early days for Omni, but what am I looking forward to when I flash your ROM?

    OmniROM is based on straight AOSP code, if you look in the source on github, you will see that VERY few repositories are actually forked from AOSP at all (put external in the search bar for Omni's public repos). Omni is designed to have many features and options that are all able to be toggled by the user. Omni is about choices, and giving the end-user the choices to make the ROM function the way that THEY want it to. 99% of features added to OmniROM come with a toggle to turn it on or off, hence "choices" :good:

    The changelog pretty much gives a breakdown of all the features, because since the first 4.4 build, i did not make any releases until we fixed some major issues. This ROM is just about 100% stable. I say "just about" because if I reported my actual experience, which is literally ZERO issues, on nexus 5 and galaxy s 4, people would hang me and start bombarding me with "well what about this error I have that no one else does".


    Best advice, make a backup and flash it. if you don't like it, then just restore your backup. no harm no foul. but i'm willing to bet you stick on this for a bit. There are a ton of features that are unique to OmniROM that other ROMs do NOT have.

    also, pretty HUGE status update will be coming tonight (hopefully) as well :rolleyes:;)
