Aww yiss! Downloading! THANK YOU.

(My 8 thanks are used up for today)

Thanks!

Can you change the DPI value to 320 in the next build ?
EDIT: To lower the screen flickering, set the brightness to minimum and then set it to max again.

I guess he can, but you can do it yourself very easily. Just open /system/build.prop and change it. Or use an app

Microphone doesn't work, and the screen flickers, so it's pretty much at the same stage as the other one (minus outgoing calls not working on the other build).

Can not boot into system... Bootloop with Android logo Any idea? i did a full wipe via fastboot before flashing

Did you flash userdata and cache? Userdata will wipe everything upon flashing, so no need to wipe it otherwise.

where can i find it? i can only download system.img and boot.img from Mega

EDIT:Argh! Missed the common-files folder

 

[H. E. Pennypacker]

Check the folder "Common files". Android L -> Togari (ZU) -> Common-files (at MEGA). Can't link it since Mega is stupid.
And then you just "flash cache cache.img" and "flash userdata userdata.img".

In the "common-files" sub-folder.

I'm out of thanks for today, but thanks!

I dont really understand the point of duplicate threads here, when both are at almost same status?

Yeah, sorry I just uploaded all builds I had. I'll be working on GPS tomorrow. You got any luck with mobile data or the microphone?

It's probably best since you two work at different speeds, so you can push out updates in your thread, and Krabappel can do it here. If there are any strange bugs or something in one of his builds, we won't need to clog up your thread with "crap" that doesn't concern you.

I will however say that it's already starting to get chaotic in here, with both threads. We should all cooperate towards one really good ROM, so maybe we could make a type of General Discussion thread for both Lollipop ROMs? And when you have an update, you publish it in your own thread? I'm just thinking

Mic from headset works fine.

Could you maybe use anything from 4.4.4? Like the GPe ROM or something (since it's AOSP)? Maybe some libs or something? No?

 

[madphone]

I'm really impressed, performance is already perfect.
SD Card isn't working here.

for mobile data we may need to patch the kernel with the latest net updates for hammerhead l.

Only wlan related, wont do anything.

On the XZ we needed that too, so it may work here.

Screen brightness too dim and flickering all the time,with gpe kernel brightness fixed but stuck at google logo.
