[ROM][7.1.2] OmniRom Nougat! [H815][Unofficial][ALPHA]

AlaskaLinuxUser · Aug 15, 2017

To God be the glory, my OmniRom Nougat project finally boots on the LG G4!

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS! Please be advised, I do not recommend this for a daily driver yet, but I need a few testers to help me with testing. The ROM is not rooted by default. I have tested SuperSu but Magisk may also be a viable option once it is stable.

I have a H811, and I am building for both the H811 and the H815. I typically do not release test builds, but I need to know if it is working on the H815 as well. If you are willing to help by testing it, that would be great! Please let me know in this thread.

**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. Install at your own risk! ****

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.

Downloads:

!!!FIRST BOOT CAN TAKE LONGER THAN 5 EARTH MINUTES TO COMPLETE!!!
!!!PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, AS THEY MAY BE DIFFERENT THEN WHAT YOU ARE USED TO!!!

Installation instructions ( TO BE NON-ROOTED ) :

Code:

Untested:
- Cellular call and receive. (need an h815 tester).
- Cellular data. (need an h815 tester).
- GPS. (need an h815 tester).

What works:
So far everything that I have tried works, such as
- Camera for video and pictures * see "what doesn't"
- Audio
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- PTP/MTP
- Multi-Window
etc....

What doesn't:
- Every camera app is inverted in the display, but the picture taken is normal.
- If using built in camera app, picture taken has a green bar on the left or right side.
-->Other camera apps do not have this problem. (e.g. open camera app.)
- Let me know in the forums if you find other issues.

Main Features:

A huge thanks to the OmniRom Project team!

Alpha is uploaded! Let me know if you test it how it went! Be sure to look at the "Untested" list and provide feedback. Log cats are very helpful please feel free to include them, but I would rather have feedback without log cats than no feedback at all.

AlaskaLinuxUser · Aug 9, 2017

And reserved.....

As you can see in the pictures above, the inverted camera display has the icon for previous pictures on the right. That looks normal, and so do the pictures (with the exception of having a green bar all down the left side for front camera, right side for rear camera). WIP.

Okay,
Looks like the cellular was non functional on that build, but I have made another build with working cellular calls/data. I will try to upload that and get it posted tomorrow.

Okay, build with working cellular call/receiving/data is up. I have only tested the H811 version, if any H815 testers could respond, that would be great!

Link is in the OP: ALPHA-workingcellular.

Latest news:

I found a problem when trying to play back videos, where the video displays but is "stuck" on the first frame, while sound continues, now that issue is resolved in the 0815 build.

Also, in the 0815 build, the built in camera app can now take video. All photos taken by any non-built in camera app, such as OpenCamera are completely normal looking without the green bar in the photo. The preview window still shows up "blue" tinted, or inverted, but the photos are normal.
The built in camera app has an issue with photos taken that make it look like the colors have separated.

One step closer. Still in Alpha status. I have slow internet, so look for the download of the 0815 to finish uploading sometime tomorrow.

Any and all feedback is welcome.

EDIT: 0815-workingmedia build is now uploaded.

A little distracted....

Still working on this. Sorry, I was out on vacation, and when I came back I realized all of my CompTIA certifications needed to be renewed (Net+, Linux+, etc...) So I'm studying hard for those exams next week.

Not to mention, as you can see in the pics, I got a little distracted.....

Is there a 811/version

Yes. However, this H815 version is flash-able on H811. But here is a link to the H811 version:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3swd2bt113rzf/Nougat

However, the H815 version is in better condition, as it has working media, that alpha of the H811 can't play certain media types as in video playback, but that is fixed on the h815 release.

With that said, I want to remind you in particular that this is an alpha version. There are some cool features though, like light/dark mode (think the old slimroms trds) and what not. Today I am renewing my CompTIA certifications, so I have been studying for the past two weeks, and will get back to working on this after today.

puedes pasar link de la rom omni-8.0? plis

deltadiesel · Sep 9, 2017

Testing

Dark mode doesnt not work anymore.... That is a gingerbread lollipop feature. All. It really is color inversion grayscale

Substratum all themes and variants work....though they dont apply properly

Seems like the same issue as slim rom...menus end up being grayed out

Except on this rom all the variants are actually compataible and dont overlay properly

Seems like i cant win

Launcher3 is compatible for overlays though. Slimlauncher not

Cool rom though

BTW flashed 815 on my 811

Omni 8 eventually did build successfully, but does not boot, so I did not upload it.

No problem, might be a while if you are waiting on Oreo from me though, I'm a bit slow at breaking new ground like that.
