Hello.
First, thank you very much. It is working really fine.
But I have a problem, I can not receive calls. I can make calls, but when someone calls my number, my phone does nothing. It is working with cm11. I've tried several sim cards, from different companies, none worked. I've looked for usual solutions, but no luck.
It is a shame,becasuuse this is working much better tahn cm11. Do you think there is something I can do?
Thanks again.

This is really AWESOME work Shadow Of Leaf! Many thanks for this great mini 2 Omnirom 4.4.4. :eek: :good:

I didn't know that you are still developing for the mini 2. I have discovered this latest KitKat rom just some time ago. It works in almost every regard better then all the previous CM11 builds. It is again somewhat more fluent (speedy) and is out of mine view less laggy when comparing with the previous builds.

However, - as already mentioned there is only one grave issue present. I also don't receive any calls. :confused:
I think the problem is located in the mobile network setting or a different mobile network driver. As network type UMTS is showed, - all the previous KitKat builds showed (in my case) HSPA or something else but never UMTS. I tried to enforce "2G/3G Preferred" and "2G/3G Auto" but they wouldn't be accepted. It was possible to set the Network to "3G Only" and "2G Only" but the call receiving still doesen't work.

Furthermore when I make a call and want to hang it up, - I can push the red hang up tab but the call will not be terminated. So the call is still open but it is not visible (at the phone) that the call is still active.

As mentioned in some other threads, - my mini 2 has baseband version S6500XXMD1.

Whatever, - you may fix this in a future update. ;) It would be great if you can include one brighter background file, - the two standard one are quite some dark.

Yes, and yours TWRP 3.0.2.0 works absolutely stable. Much better than the previous TWRP version. ;)

Will send you for all this work a litte donation. Kind regards,

Many thanks @Shadow Of Leaf for that new release. :good:

Unfortunately the link regarding the new build seems not correct, it points to the previous "omni-4.4.4-20180817-jena-HOMEMADE" release. Also the internal build date seems the same. Or has the new build the same name like the old one? :confused:

If yes then it would make sense to add a V2 to the filename.;)

Regards

Hi there Shadow Of Leaf

Thanks for the fast replay. Unfortunately the "hang on" issue is still the same like on the V1 build. It is not possible to hang up the call, - it stays open in the background.

The overall performance is really nice for that old phone hardware, - especially when the ART runtime is used. ;) It feels a little bit better then CM11. And with Open Launcher v37 (v40 runs less fluid) the phone UI is looking more modern. Because of the smaller screen size, Open Launcher has to be adjusted somewhat. For everyone who want's to try it, I have uploaded in the attachment a v37 mini 2 config file. (I get the Open Launcher package from that side: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.benny.openlauncher/)

Unfortunately Android ART works only stable with certain really old GAPPS packages. The problems starts when these are updated automatically, the Google Apps stop working and are crashing randomly. I hoped that this problem is CM11 related, but Omni ROM 4.4.4 has the same issues. So this is most likely a fundamental problem of KitKat. It seems that Google has not designed the newer GAPPS packages Android "KitKat ART" compliant. :confused: In conjunction with ART, they may work properly only on "Lollipop ART" and above.

However, if I remember me right, I have read sometime something about these KitKat ART limitations. That may be a strange idea, but is it possible to "back-port" certain portions of Lollipop ART, like in the ART dex2oat tool, into KitKat? https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik Well, maybe it's possible but the effort would be far too big... ;)

Kind regards

Here follows a short addition, - I have found an interesting XDA topic regarding KitKat ART vs. Lollipop ART. There is discussed the theoretical possibility to use the Lollipop "libart.so" in KitKat: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/using-libart-android-l-kitkat-t2805745

Well, as assumed by me, this will be a BIG project. It's not so simple how it looks, the KitKat "libart.so" can't be just replaced with the Lollipop version. :( This concept to backport certain portions of a newer ART runtime back to KitKat is more a theoretical possibility, - not practical. A Backport of a "Android Go" version for the mini 2 would be more realistic then that... ;):D

sorry for the bad news

i think that i fix the hang on call bug but it seems sophisticated one

i will try to to build a new version for s6500 and for s6500d also ( i don't how im gonna test it out, cause my sim card place in the phone seems to be broken)

for the ART i think in kitkat is just a preview for developers to test it out , not like lollipop is seems stable to use it

for the theory i think its possible but it need a lot of work and could not work (lollipop and kitkat are not alike so it well be a miracle if it work)
