Update:

I will be ending development for this device effective immediately. I haven't had the time or desire to work on anything android related lately, and I'll be needing to put my focus on school rather than this stuff. I'm nearing completion of my bachelors of science in psychology and will begin applying to graduate school, so I will not have time to properly maintain this device anymore.

Most of the work is already done for the android-5.1 branch, and the trees will remain on github @ https://github.com/omnirom for anyone willing to carry on the work.

When a new maintainer takes the reigns, please contact me so I can reopen this thread and have it transferred to you. This will allow one thread to contain all of the discussion of Omni for this device rather than having several.

    sorry, i've been VERY busy.

    UPDATES:

    Jake announced a while ago he was planning on dropping jflte due to lack of time.

    He wound up unable to sell his jflte, so there's a chance that if he has time it'll get support, but in general, lack of time is proving to be a major issue for many of us. We're way behind as a result... Many of us have non-Android stuff going on, some of us are in the process of planning some Android-related stuff that is causing delays now but will hopefully have positive benefits in the long run. One thing being discussed is a few projects getting together to create a project dedicated to hardware support, strictly limited to only hardware stuff. Other projects could use that project as a base. (In some ways, we had visions of something like this with Omni, but as we didn't strictly limit scope to hardware, we sort of became "just another project" with the main benefit being we coordinated with other projects much better than in the past.)

    yea, just to confirm, i WILL be working on galaxy s4.

    I have put it on hold until I finish my note 10 kernel, but i just finished the last of the file merges, and now will begin the endless compilation error from merge derps healing process.

    But to clarify to everyone: THERE WILL BE android-5.0 for galaxy s4 jflte QUALCOMM VARIANTS ONLY (sorry exynos)


    Kernel merge complete for note 10(2014) , just need to fix it up and I'll start on jflte. :good:

    UPDATE FROM VARIANT OMNI BUILD TO UNIFIED BUILD
    Backup your apps and other pertinent data and DO A FULL WIPE.
    Don't complain about it. Just do it. If you try to post bug reports or complaints and you have not conducted a wipe of:
    • /system
    • /data
    • /cache
    • /dalvik
      I will completely and utterly ignore you, as well as report your post for not reading the clearly posted rules at the top of this post.

    UPDATE FROM OMNI VIA OPEN DELTA UPDATER
    Settings -> System Updates -> Check for update
    You will NOT need to wipe anything with the delta updates unless it is explicitly stated or you start having strange issues.


    Omni only supports TWRP recovery, use any alternate recovery at your own risk.

    next 4.4 nightly will be fixed.

    hoping to have 5.1 builds ready soon, just need to fix some stuff, but mostly everything is working on them.

    here's a build i just made with the updated gpu drivers, meaning you can use custom kernels on this one until the nightlies are up to speed

    http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=6934

    I'm still working on narrowing down exactly which specific commits in the repo are required, but i'll make sure to let you guys know as soon as the nightlies have them merged. until then, I can just post nightly builds in here for you guys with the required changes :good:


    Oh yea, and with the audio HAL , hotword detection works again :highfive:

    so to my knowledge:

    TO-DO:
    • HDR (will probably wait for the camera to be rebased)
    • You tell me?!?

    I am dropping support for jflte once L source is released. I have too much going on with 18 credits per semester and my other projects.

    The device trees and everything will remain on github and gerrit so if a brave souls decides to take the challenge of bringing the device up, the tools are available for you.
