iPioneer Slim 10c v0.1 is a light, clean and fast custom rom designed for the Lg G Pad X 8.0 (T-Mobile variant only) and it's aim is to become a replacement for the default system of this device.
iPioneer Slim 10c v0.1 it is light because it only takes 519.8Mb of disk space which is a big difference when you compare the 1.2Gb of a stock rom, it is clean because it only contains the essential apps to make it work properly and it is faster because the whole system have been 100% optimized.
iPioneer it have been designed with the User Freedom in mind, it only provides you with the basic OS so you can do what you need to do on top of that.
Features:
Based on stock (10c)
Rooted
Busyboxed
Init.d Support
Extremely debloated (very serious)
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Nova as default launcher
Installation instructions:
Download the rom to your desire location (link to download to the end of this post).
Boot into Twrp recovery and do a standard wipe (factory reset).
Install the downloaded rom .zip.
Reboot the device.
Be patient, is going to take more time than a regular stock rom to boot into the system, at first is going to be stuck at T-Mobile logo but after few seconds is going to enter into App Optimization mode and after that you will be able to setup your system.
Enjoy it.
First things to do after you install this rom:
Add your google account (if you didn't complete that step at the first setup).
Download your favorite app manager (Rom Toolbox, Titanium, etc.).
Freeze the application called App Updates in order to stop the system update beacon for OTA. I removed 3 core apps in order to stop OTAs but it seems to be very integrated with the system, there is no way I can remove it from the rom without breaking the system. This is the most practical way to my knowledge right now.
Optionals things to do after you install this rom:
You can uninstall Nova Launcher if you want as is not part of the system apps, but before you need to install your favorite launcher. If you don't install another launcher and remove Nova you will have a broken system and most likely you'll have to re-flash the rom.
On purpose bugs and missing options:
On purpose bugs are bugs that comes when you remove a functionality from the system but it can not be removed from a third party component, example: LG VPN app it has been removed but the options remains in the Settings of the device and when you tap that option you will provoke a crash event, the way to resolve this is to decode the third party component (very difficult) or reinstall the missing part (in this case the LG VPN app).
iPioneer Slim 0.1 it comes without some apps that can not be removed from the system setting options, this is like that because I believe that these apps are not necessary for all people, if someone need them they can be downloaded/replaced from the Play Store or I will provide a flashable file with these apps so you can install them.
On Purpose bugs (located at settings):
From the Share & Connect menu:
File Sharing that contains BLE and Android Beam doesn't work, package SmartShare it has been removed.
Media Server (DLNA) doesn't work, package SmartShare that also contains SmartShare.MediaServer it has been removed.
Lg Airdrive doesn't work, package LGAirDrive & LGAirDriveSettings were removed.
From More>VPN menu:
LG VPN doesn't work, package VpnClient_LG it has been removed. Basic VPN it works.
From Display menu:
Home screen doesn't work, packages LGHome, HomeSelector, LGHome_Theme_Optimus, com.lge.launcher3, com.lge.launcher2.theme.optimus were removed.
If you need these options to be available on your system just download these app on Play Store if they are available or just wait until I have ready the System Apps flashable zips.
Missing options (located at settings):
Smart Cleaning not present, package LGSpringCleaning it has been removed.
Cloud (cloud integration in settings) not present, package CloudHub (maybe dependant on SmartShare package) it has been removed, please also note that this cloud integration it was integrated on the stock File Manager, so... if you want a full integration of the Cloud service on settings maybe you will have to install the stock File Manager provided by LGFileManager package.
From Backup & reset menu:
LG Backup is not present, packages LGBackupLauncher and LGBackup were removed.
From About tablet menu:
Update Center and its content (App updates & System updates) is not present, packages com.lge.appbox.client (app updates), com.lge.updatecenter & LGUpdateCenter (main menu for updates) were removed.
If you need these options to be available on your system just download these app on Play Store if they are available or just wait until I have ready the System Apps flashable zips.Flashable zip with system apps:
Coming soon when I have a free time.
What to do if you get the OTA notification:
Freeze the app called App Updates with your favorite app manager.
With your favorite file manager go to /cache and delete the update.zip (the downloaded ota).
Tap on Restart & Install button on OTA pop-up, the pop-up it will start counting to 0 in order to restart but your device won't restart because there are 3 core apps removed from this rom plus 1 app that you just disabled (all these 4 app controls the OTA), the notification is just gonna disappear, push recent button and clear the ota pop-up window.
Bugs Report:
If you find a bug in this rom just notify me about that in this thread, please, just use the title as "Bug Report" so I can pay close attention to that, my time is very limited. Thank you.
Feature Request:
If you want a feature to be added into future revisions of this rom just notify me about that in this thread, please, just use the title as "Feature Request" so I can pay close attention to that, my time is very limited. Thank you.

How fast does it run compared to the stock rom?

How fast it can go is a subjective matter:
It will depend on hardware lifetime span (how you use it and how other people use this tablet).
It will depend how much apps and content you put in it (the more things you download the more slow android is gonna be, this is kind a Swap area).
I did not do a benchmark, when I declared that is faster than a stock rom is because that speed response enhacement it comes based on the Deodex and Zipalign process. It can be or maybe not noticeable to your eyes but based on deodex and zipalign process is for sure that is faster than an odex and not-zipaligned rom.
The best answer is that you need to try it on your own and see the difference.

Poll added at the beginning (not visible in tapatalk or xda app).
Please only select the apps that you really need or you really think that should comes with the next revision of iPioneer Slim rom.
This will help me to build a better version with features that users needs.

C'mon guys... only 3 users have use the poll...
I need more data background in order to release a new version of the Slim line version (may be the last one).
All V521 users please contribute with this.
Right now I'm testing a new build that it seems to have success stoping ota download and notification & I have removed even more bloat background packages.
As of today I start the syncing process of CyanogenMod for our device, so all I ask is that V521 users vote in the poll so I can build and release what I think it would be the last Slim version (iPioneer Slim 0.2) based on users needs.
Once I start the developtment with CM I will not pay attentions to the Stock & Slim version until I finish with what is gonna become iPioneer CM 13.
Thank you for your attention guys.
BTW: sorry for my english, I try so hard to write all this in a good way. Arriba Mexico Papa!!!

The reason is that the xda app can't see the vote going on.
Personally, I will be excited to see a cm/aosp custom build, which will sure draw much more attention.

Another reason is not many users are interested enough in a slimmed stock rom. The benefits of a slimmed stock rom may include less system storage usage. But the free uped system storage is not accessible for users to use as data storage anyway. Speedwise, I wouldn't expect noticeable improvement from a slimmed stock rom. As a result, the benefits of a slimmed stock rom is not enough to draw users' attention or interest.
I am a flashholic but I actually not interested in slimmed stock at all because I already have root.
I personally advise you to not spend too much time on modified stock rom.
I appreciate your work and look forward to your future possible cm rom, which I will definitely try it out and will draw many g pad x users here. And don't forget there is a bounty for custom roms like cm.

You are right about working in a stock version. The reason why I'm doing this is because we all know that CM most of the time has bugs, bluetooh problems, camera issues, data conectivity troubles, etc...
Sooooo, if the version of CM I'm going to compile it results with many bugs there is gonna be the option to go back to stock slimed or stock bloated.
I can build a CM verion but Im not the kind of guy who inverts his time in CODE MODIFICATION, so hopefully the build it comes with no bugs at all or at least no major bugs.
The other alternative is that I can sync, compile and build and one more guys can do the bug fixes.

That would be great! I think if you took a poll most people would prefer a CM build to a slimmed down stock build.

Yeah, I know that. Wish me luck.
Right now I'm stuck trying to get the Blobs for this device and compiling the kernel so I can build the CM recovery, once I have the recovery done I can start compiling CM and start testing.
I'm trying to by pass the kernel (as is not need it right now to build the recovery) but for some reason the system is demanding an standard and working kernel... weird...
But honestly speaking is gonna take lot of time. So be patient guys.

There is already a TWRP recovery for v521. Why you need to compile cm recovery?

Ik, is just a prebuilt because our device doesnt have a device tree or structure already, so making this at first is gonna help me to buil the cm zip.
Is not need it if a device tree already exist but not in this case, just see it like a pretesting of code for this device.
When I try to compile this recovery things are gonna break so you get info of what is missing, what you need, log, etc... So you fix everything you can in this step and then you build the cm.zip in a better way (less issues).

device tree has been around for a while, it obviously will need some renaming to work for cm source but its a good foundation to start with.

These are your device tree for twrp 4 b3 right?
Let me see if I can work with that, I was almost done building the cm.recovery and fixing some boot.img issues but if I can take your files that would save time.
Did you forked that device tree or u just build it from scratch?
If you forked them, from what device?
I was thinking on pulling the v500 just to figure out some sort of missing info I havent been able to catch from ramdisk.

i built it from scratch, id be careful looking too much at the v500, it's a snapdragon 600 SOC which is very old and is a quad core. the 615 in the g pad x is octacore and much newer. even the ramdisk is going to have big differences in how its handled.

[APP] GooManager Beta official thread

The official app of Goo.im
We have spent a lot of time getting the server side changes in place to automatically parse our developer's rom files to grab data to make a functional OTA update system without the need for editing manifest files, or other tedious tasks. This is our attempt at creating a way for Android developers to simply publish material, and distribute it to the masses without any hassle.
This app is and will always be FREE!
General Features:
Ability to browse and search all of the files we have on our site, and download directly to your mobile device.
Receive OTA style updates from your favorite rom developers that we have hosted here.
CyanogenMod nightly build update support
Incremental (differential) rom updates for sequential builds
Flashing roms & installing recoveries
Update gApps packages
If you would like to sideload the app on your phone and avoid the market, we distribute the APK by itself, and also as a prebuilt repo maintained by solarnz(github.com/solarnz)
Are you a rom developer wanting to publish your work with our updating system?
To get your rom compatible with our updating system, you should make the appropriate changes to your build.props. For more information on this system, see the link below (sorry it's not clickable but i need 8 posts!)
goo.im/howto-rom-updating-via-our-app (For developers who are curious about how to modify their build prop file for compatibility with GooManager)
GooManager download page (To download the actual app)
KNOWN ISSUES:
DownloadManager API is buggy on Gingerbread
Installing OpenRecoveryScript on devices that do not support flash_image and do not have a /cache/recovery/command supported recovery will fail
FEATURE REQUESTS
Feel free to post them in this thread, but as my time is limited and Goo.im/GooManager's code is just something I do in my free time, there are simply not enough hours in the day to address them all
SHOUT OUTS
Chris Solarnz (For his java advice and contributions)
Mike Wielgosz (For contributing to the rom reordering and listing code)
Dees_Troy for all of his amazing work on OpenRecoveryScript and TWRP
eyeballer (For countless nights of helping test stuff, and awesome suggestions)
Shift (For the market icon)
Drmacinyasha (For all the testing / anal retentive bug reporting)
toastcfh (For helping bounce lots of ideas around)
EVERYONE ELSE I PROBABLY LEFT OUT!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Why is _________ phone/tablet not supported?
In order to offer us flexibility without compromising other software such as rom manager premium, etc we did not want to rely on /cache/recovery/extendedcommands. At the time of developing the flash automation features, extended commands were licensed to RM only and it would have been illegal to use them. Since then, the license has changed, but we still feel it is the best direction to have our own since we can change it to fit our needs.
Why does this not work with my recovery i downloaded from Rom Manager?
CWM and CWM touch builds distributed by rom manager ONLY WORK WITH ROM MANAGER SO STOP ASKING!!!! #@$#@$#
Why are incremental updates only available for some roms?
Incremental updates are enabled on a per rom-device basis. Not all builds are even capable of this, since wipe can be required. It is at the discretion of the developer to toggle this as needed.
If you are a developer and would like to sign up: goo.im/signup
If you are a recognized developer, chances are you will get approved. (Note not all buildbox applicants are approved, and you may get only hosting)

Awesome. Used it to put TWRP2.1.2 easily on my ATT Galaxy Note.

It's Goo time! Been using this to distribute my unofficial cm9 nightlies for the touchpad and nook color for a while now and we've had nothing but positive feedback from users. Encourage your favorite rom developers to sign up

Not only is GooManager a great app, the whole ecosystem is, I believe, second to none.
A fantastic, simple system for developers to upload their ROMs and specify what device that ROM is for.
Easy for device users to find the ROMs that work with their devices.
Notifications of ROM updates for the ROM that you're using.
Easy download and installation of ROMs for devices with a supported recovery.
Differential updates - only flashes the files that have changed from one version to the next - smaller download, less wear and tear on your device, and quicker updates.

Thanks for this free app!
People don't have to donate to automatically check if there is an update to a CM nightly now.

for those of us who are not update-happy (although it is addicting) is there anyway to know from either this app or from Goo notifications in general whether an update requires a full wipe and then the requisite re-setting up of one's device?
I get a notification everyday for the new Gapps and for an update of my ROM (AOKP milestone 5 for Kindle Fire). I've ignored them because I'm just too lazy to spend an hour or two getting everything back up and running.

I've tried repeatedly to download CM9 nightlies and gapps via the latest market version of the app (2.06 I believe) and I always get a "download failed" message no matter if I'm on wifi or 3g. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache, and clearing app data, and nothing seems to work. Is the download manager problem referenced in the OP a problem with ICS as well as GB? I have a Galaxy Nexus (toro) using BAMF Paradigm 1.25 in case that info makes a difference.

Please get a logcat. It will give you a reason why the download failed. If you are on linux, adb logcat | grep GOO
There seems to be issues with some people or devices that I have yet to narrow down. If you can replicate this bug consistently please contact me on freenode IRC in the #goo-inside.me channel and i'll try to look into it. My time is limited these days hunting a bug i can't reproduce so despite the needs of the community -- work and life comes first!

It is up to the developer to state whether it requires a wipe in their changelog. Generally nightly builds will not require a full wipe though

You simply install goomanager, hit menu -> install openrecoveryscript which will DD over the image to your recovery partition for twrp 2.0.
As far as differential patches go, the feature is still being enabled on a per-rom basis while I make sure there are no bugs CM nightlies in general do not have it enabled yet but some devs do.. the list will improve but i don't want to make any big changes until I am 100% positive the incremental system is perfect

I'm having quite a few failed downloads recently via goomanager, anybody else?
Not sure if this is device related issue or they app/appserver etc.
Using GTAB P1000 btw.

Please keep this conversation constructive. If you have anything relevant to resolving the issue go ahead and post it but complaints are not helpful. If you have a failed download, paste a logcat or simply the line which gives a numerical code for why the download failed. The tag will be "GOO"
We are aware of downloading issues but since this is just a project we do strictly on free time for no profit, we can only get what we can afford which is why we are on all used hardware and frequently have hiccups with our distribution boxes. We're looking into getting more in the rotation to lower the load on the servers but there are not enough hours in the day or dollars in the bank account to handle it right away. We're looking into financing some sexy new servers from dell if we can get approved

Ok so I prefer to wait...I have no rush.
But it is safe to install the openrecovery? I mean 0% of brick over n7000 running CM9

.
> Rom's Notes.
Who installs this Rom, accept it "as is".
Contains just the apps and options installed.
What you want to add will have to be obtained from Google-Play or any other sources.
Please, don't report bugs if you are not using the installed Dhollmen Kernel.
In case of questions or comments, you must indicate additional apps, tweaks or installed "optimizations".
if you insert images, do it in a 'hide' tag. This hide your image until an user click to show it.
I assume you has installed a suitable Recovery and know how to perform the required steps.
Keep in mind that Antutu and others related apps give you very similar values, regardless of the Rom used.
In such apps, OC influence on speed, but its goal is to evaluate the hardware, not the Rom.
Don't use any kind of overclock before three consecutive stability test in Antutu.
> Rom take a long time to boot after installing.
It is quite normal if ART runtime is used as applications are self-compiled at first boot time, after installing a new Rom or changing to ART.
> Applications are slow to start after installing.
It is quite normal if ART is used because apps have self-compiled before first use.
Although it may seem at times, the Rom is not hung, just have to wait.
> Get Root access.
In Settings app, entering development option and select Root access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Performance.
> Get Performance access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Development option.
> Google Apps (Gapps).
All Gapps packages available are virtually identical.
Only differ, from each other, in the amount of installed applications.
Two different packages must be never installed as likely to cause Google applications FC.
The Dhollmen Gapps, being valid for any Rom, are specifically adapted for installation on it.
> Viper4 - Convolver - IRS.
This application controls the System Sound FX.
It also includes a number of advanced pre-equalizer settings (made by others) that are the IRS whose installation files requested.
Access to Convolver (manager of the IRS) is obtained by selecting the option Expert in Experience Settings.
Using another equalizer (provided by external applications) usually interfere with it.
You can only have one active equalizer in the system, but if you want to use another one, kindly Viper4 can be turned off.
> Restoring backups.
It is very common Titanium Backup (or similar) problems in Rom.
If backup /data partition are made and, after a change of Rom, restored, usually side effects will occur.
In this directory and subdirectories it contains, there are many configuration files and internal databases.
When it comes to a specific application should not be a problem as long as it is not part of the Rom.
When sub-directories containing settings are restored, the likelihood of problems increases exponentially.
For example, all Roms have a Settings application, but the content of his configurations differs between them and is not interchangeable.
Under no circumstances you should restore /system partition apps.

Loving this Rom! It's like a super carbon Rom, great work! I like the keyboard, ribbons working for me, everything feels great! The only problem I am having is with IR blaster, doesn't seem to work, but besides from that I am really enjoying this. Thanks!!

Cool
Looks like a cool rom bu t is there a app that could backup my apps and data/data files so that i can restore them later?

language confusion

As a general rule, there is little text translation faults in the Rom.
Except Carbon Fibers program (Interface) which is only available in English.
I have made the translation into Spanish, but little I can do about other languages.

does this mean the only system language is english or

I think you have not problem, but settings is more different from your Rom.
Maybe you can reset data from settings app.

Tuxafgmur, congratulations on the rom release! I was just looking for a new rom also. The"controversial" release on the previous carbon thread was amazing, I'm sure this rom will be great.

Will this work in the P5113???

The best app (imo) it's nandroid manager, you make a backup just of your data into recovery, then with this app you will be able to restore all app and more. Works great.

Yes, if a rom works for p5110 it does for p5113

Has anyone tried on the P5100 ? How it works ? :good:
I am currently on Pac-Rom 4.2.2 and it works great so I wonder if it is worth crossing to the carbon? Can you lift the processors clock and what is the native speed of processors?
What is the difference in keyboards : Keyboard Tng 20130928 and Keyboard AOSP 20130928 ? Can anyone upload pictures of them so I can know wich one I like more?

Hey All,
Thanks for the hard work with this ROM, I would like to try it however I have a totally nOOb Question
The short of it is I acquired a SGT2 10.1, but not sure if it's rooted, booted into ODIN mode and shows count 2 - current is official Samsung 4.0.3 from memory maybe 4.1?
Do I need to root the SGT2 how to confirm if it's already rooted?
When I look at the steps to root the device, it's seems old and outdated as the files recommended have newer versions so it's not clear.
To use this particular ROM, do I need CWM or philz touch, if Philz touch, there lasted is blocked due to violation trying to grab the tar version, yet the zip was ok, however trying to root the device via ODIN 1.8.5 to select PDA philz, can't see the zip as it's expecting .tar
Just want to make sure before I brick this as I am trying to set it up as I've not touch Flashing in ages
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Team

[ROM]Unofficial OmniRom 5.1 for the Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V and T959P)

Code:
Code:
/*
* Your probably long expired warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you
* and point my finger right back at you.
*/
Installation Instructions
Make sure you have a second partition on your SD card before flashing!!!! This can be created with minitool partition wizard on Windows or gparted on Linux.
If on a BML rom (stock-based GB)...
0. Read "Things to take note of" below
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Make sure your version of CWM is at least 5.x
3. Install zip. It will reboot a couple of times, don't be worried.
4. If you want root or Gapps, flash them now
If on an MTD rom (CM7 and all ICS+)(I tested CM9, CM10.1 and CM11)...
0. Read "Things to take note of" below
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Wipe data, and cache paritions (just in case). If updating to a newer build, you can probably skip this step
3. Install zip
4. If you want root or Gapps, install them now
The first boot can take several minutes. Be patient. If it takes 10+ minutes, pull the battery and reboot to recovery.
Things to Take Note Of
Humberos (the i9000 maintainer) has moved on to different projects which means no first-gen Galaxy S devices are being actively maintained. Builds may break at any time!
I actually have a T959P, not a T959V... It was released by Telus in Canada. It is a very similar device (I can run ROMs for the T959V with limited problems - ie sometimes I get wakelocks and the gps never works), it has a different GPS chipset and also uses different cell bands (but I can still use your guys modems but I lose access to the 850Mhz band). I have created a build specifically for the T959V as best as I can guess and also provide T959P builds.
The USB connection is MTP and not mass storage as Omni has removed mass storage. In recovery there is still an option to mount as mass storage device.
This build is very close to the official omni source code. This means that the recovery is TWRP and there aren't any added "features"
In order to get it rooted, you need to install SuperSu.
Gapps reportedly slow down the device significantly so tread carefully.
Backup Backup Backup! I'm not responsible for you losing any data.

Thanks Time!
This would not have been possible without the following people:
Thanks to humberos for bringing Lollipop to the first-gen Galaxy S series. This would not have been possible without his work.
Thanks to FB and Dao for their work on the CM-11 device tree. I used several of their fixes.
Thanks to noiphonehere for his device trees and kernel, most of my work was based off of his.
Thanks to bhundven and the other members of teamacid for their work on the aries kernel.
Thanks to all others that have helped get this phone to where it is today!
Thanks to vcmerritt. A name you're probably not familiar with, but he was the only one to create something for the T959P and without him I'd still be on stock...
Build your own!
Follow the instructions at http://docs.omnirom.org/Setting_Up_A_Compile_Environment using the android-5.1 branch
Before doing a repo sync, put the galaxy_s_series.xml file from the Download folder in .repo/local_manifests folder of the source tree.
After syncing the source, open a terminal and in the directory where you downloaded the source code type "source ./build/envsetup.sh" and then "brunch galaxys4gmtd"
Changelog
Changelog for 07/03/2015 Build
Newer Omni source
Added volume controls and flight mode toggle to power button menu
Added Bigmem option. This increases available RAM by ~20mb but breaks 720p video recording. Humberos created the kernel setup and I integrated a toggle for it into Advanced device settings.
Selinux is now in enforcing mode. I had to modify the GPS startup to have any chance of getting here. Please let me know if it still works/doesn't work/never worked
Notifications are sometimes wonky. To fix, in Settings, go to Performance, then Advanced. Select Force high-end graphics and reboot your phone.
Changelog for 2015/07/20 Build
The data partition is now the second partition of the SD Card as opposed to internal storage
Gapps now work. If you get error 461 when installing from Play Store, a full data wipe should fix it. You can try experimenting with clearing data for the Play Store and/or Play Services or removing and re-adding your Google account if you don't want to do a full data wipe.
HSPA vs UMTS settings in DeviceSettings has been fixed
High-End graphics are forced by default to fix notification issue
ART parameters have been tweaked
Miscellaneous other tweaks, see my Github for details
Changelog for 2015/07/24 Build
Stabilized bluetooth connection
Fixed typo in GPS initialization. Does it work?
Added ability to use f2fs file system on /data. Supposed to give better performance
Added force fast charge and touch wake to kernel. Touchwake is accessible through its sysfs path, fast charge through Performance Settings, BatterySelinux currently denies these requests...
Changelog for the 2015/07/29 Build
This is a maintenance build. Very little has changed
Some more RAM freed (disabled some debugging stuff, TV-Out driver, IR driver)
Sepolicy updated for fast charge and touch wake
GPS initialization tweaked - unsure if works. If it doesn't, a dmesg would be appreciated
Changelog for 2015/08/02 Build
SElinux changed to permissive - this build only
GPS sepolicy changed - unsure if all necessary things are implemented
Changelog for 2015/08/13 Build
Selinux back to enforcing. Thanks to @anoymonos for the dmesg and @DerPugNa for offering to send me one as well
Fixed encryption
Changelog for 2015/08/31 Build
Updated Android version (5.1.1_r5 to 5.1.1_r12)(upstream Omni Change)
Restoring /system in TWRP should now work
When installing from BML, a chance is given to install gapps and/or SuperSu before rebooting
zRam is now actually used...
Changelog for 15/10/2015 Build
Fixed typo in updater.sh (thanks @FBis251!)
Update Omni source code - plenty of little tweaks since last build

Awesome work @xc-racer99!

Wow, bringing this ole device back from a coma here. Nice to see someone else willing to work on lollipop for this oldie but goodie. Keep this device alive man.
Edit: If you are in need for some GFX for this thread, let me know and I'll see what I can brew up for you.

I hope I can keep this great little device going a little longer, however it will probably get tough. I did a repo sync earlier today and things are starting to break. The last few builds haven't even booted. With humberos no longer maintaining the i9000 and aries-common, I've had to fork the aries-common repository to try to keep going. The only upside of this is that I now have a little bit more freedom and can add things in if I want to.
Thanks for the offer of the graphics. If I can get a new build working, then I'll probably take you up on your offer. I think I've traced the problem but I'll have to wait and see...
For anyone that is trying/has tried this out, I'd be very curious on the status of the GPS on the T959V. I'm interested in creating the sepolicies for it so we can put selinux into enforcing mode but I don't want to go to the effort if it doesn't even work right now.

I've downloaded the zip and one of the smaller Gapps packages...won't be able to flash until early next week...I'll be out of town...will post results later...thanks for keeping this phone current.

New Build Uploaded!
Download is still at the same link as before, just use the 2015-07-03 build
I managed to find out why my new builds hadn't been booting - it was because the syntax for using a custom kernel toolchain had changed.
Anyway...

On another note, I've had a look at re-implementing TV-Out support. It doesn't look promising as several of the functions in the android frameworks that it used have been tweaked.... Still working on it but don't hold your breath.
Also, if somebody could test dock audio that would be appreciated. I don't have any way of testing it. If it doesn't work, I do have an idea on how to fix it (for those interested, another almost-aries device, the Infuse 4G, had to modify things slightly to get it to work. I would try to emulate their solution).

Omg download nowwww....thanks my friend

Alright, I'm having some issues on the latest build with notifications and the lockscreen. I'm still working on tracing down the reason for the problem...

Hello, im a user of a t959v. And I've been using this rom for three days. Everything is fine and very smooth on this rom except that, I can't install anything from the playstore. I always get (cannot install app due to an error 963). And Ive tried all the gapps, even the new link provided but still no luck.

Good to hear that that's its (mostly) been working for you. I was hoping that the gapps problem was just me
Out of curiosity, which of the alternate gapps did you try?
A brief google of the error brings up a couple of possibilities...
Try an older gapps version. The ones from devloz on the i9000 thread devloz and the oldest revision for 5.1.1 are probably your best bet. Please be aware that Google Play store will automatically update!!! In order to prevent this, you will need to create a folder called "com.android.vending-1.apk" in /data/app (use a root explorer such as ES File Explorer or adb if you know how). If a file with that name already exists, delete it first.
Another thing to try would be to unmount your sdcard first before trying to install an app. I know, its a terrible work-around but it should work. This is because the error is that Google Play is trying to save some data on your sdcard but then for some reason it fails (I'm not sure why).
I'll hopefully get around to seeing if its a permissions problem after I find out what's been causing the issue with the notifications on the latest build.
P.S. Does the GPS work?

Early update...
...ROM flashed fine...a little slow to boot...about 3 minutes...but it booted.
...Gapps flashed fine...used 20150513_5.1.x package
...Installed Super SU (although I don't think that's necessary) and TB.
...So far only gave a quick test to camera and web browser...no problems.
...Am now in the process of re-installing user apps and data from TB...this will take a while.
When I'm done with that, I use Link2SD to link most of my user files to the SD card. After that is all set up, I'll test stuff like GPS, root access, etc. I'll post back later...maybe tomorrow.
But so far so good.

OK...I did some testing tonight and here's some results.
Working:
.it boots
.root
.browser
.playstore
.camera
.link2sd (about 180 mb free in internal)
.camera
.wifi
.email
Nor working:
.bluetooth
.google search/voice search
.just about all the rest of the Gapps
.tons of force closes including Maps so can't test GPS
Won't be able to do anymore testing until next week.

Alright, thanks very much for the update. I'll do some more testing here and see if I can solve anything. For me, bluetooth file transfers to the phone work but not from the phone.
I've been looking at the notification "error" where the lockscreen notifications do not appear correctly. It appears to have been introduced upstream with a merge. I'm having difficulty finding out exactly what changed and since no errors are being thrown in the logcat, it could be a while...
For testing the GPS, there's an app from the Play Store called GPS Test which does a nice job of showing satellites and whether or not you have a lock on them.

you're the man!
nice one! its nice that this device are still alive.! and now were on 5.1

No, it should be Humberos is the man! I basically re-hashed his code for the i9000 and used bits and pieces from people like Bhundven, noiphonehere, maxfierke, Dao, and FB to get things to work properly.
For a status update, I figured out the lockscreen notification problem. I have a new build being made that I hopefully will be able to upload in the next couple of days (internet dependent). TV-Out looks totally broken as the proprietary blobs no longer function. I don't have the know-how to make ugly hacks to get them to work. The new build will have SElinux in enforcing mode and have the different GPS initialization (like the last build) until someone tells me that it doesn't work
Uh-oh, looks like I jumped the gun.... Having problems once again

Any updates on getting the play store to work? I have searched, downloaded, and tried every gapp made for 5.1. I found that I can load any app on the rom, if I get the APK version of it.

Darn, so its still not working. Not surprising. I've been struggling on the notification issue and am at my wit's end as to what the problem is. I don't think its only our phone as several i9000 users have been reporting it as well. Whether it is only the first-gen Galaxy S series that is having the problem or not is anyone's guess. My programming skills are insufficient to fix the issue!
I'll have another look at gapps over the next couple of days and see if I can figure out a combination that works 100% of the time.
I'm assuming the error message is still 963 or does it silently fail now? Its probably related to the fact that we have only an external sd card and no internal sd card like most devices...
All the problems with the notifications that I've found are:
Only one notification will show up at a time
Large notifications such as the music player do not render properly. They are cut off at the normal notification size and occasionally it seems as if there are two layers there (one for the small version, one for the bigger version) (see attached picture, taken with VLC as the media player, but also appears with Apollo)
Notifications don't always show up. A little icon appears in the top left corner of the status bar but no notification is present. Seems hit or miss
The words No notifications appears in the lockscreen just above the clock when there are no notifications. Otherwise, a notification (and only one) which can't be clicked covers part of the clock

[APP][ROOT][4.4+]Custom ROM Manager 5.5.0

Custom ROM Manager finds all the ROMs, GApps and other zip files that are downloaded on your device, lets you install or manage them easily. It also helps you visit official sites of some ROMs/GApps from where you can download them or see changelog.
NOTE: This app does not search the internet for ROMs, GApps and other mods for your device. You have to download them from their respective sites yourself to your device. Then this app will take care of the rest.

Finds all the zip files on your device - Custom ROM Manager features multiple file searching algorithms to find the zip files on your device. They are fast, customizable or both fast and customizable at the same time. Users can even choose their file searching technique to their liking.
Sorting and grouping of zip files - After zip files have been found, app sorts and groups them to their appropriate category, like detects which of them are ROMs, GApps etc. It can even detect the properties of a ROM/GApp, like their build dates, version, whether or not they are OFFICIAL builds and what not. The techniques used are efficient and smart.
Popular ROMs/GApps - The app shows list of popular ROMs/GApps. They are selected based on observations of the most popular and most user responded ROM threads across the XDA forums for top devices, and they are listed alphabetically in the app. App is also capable of detecting other ROMs, which will be listed in the "Other ROMs" category.
Official information for popular ROMs/GApps - For all the popular ROMs/GApps listed, you can even check their official information. Like their official sites, download pages etc. It can even check whether your device is officially supported or not, and depending on this, it will open download page for your device when you visit their download page.
Disclaimer - The app makes use of the information that is already available on the internet. It does not use any unauthorized or confidential data. The links are also opened in an external web browser of user's choice, not in some in-app browser or something like that.
Manage your ROMs/GApps - Under each popular ROM/GApp listing, you can see the builds present on your device listed their. Like all your LineageOS ROMs gets listed under "LineageOS" category. You can view them in any way, view them in sorted order based on their build dates or version, or see only unofficial ROMs, or official ROMs. You can delete them, view them etc.
Install them - And finally, you can select them for flashing/installation. This is arguably the most significant feature of the app. You can choose any number of zips for flashing, you can specify which partitions to be wiped before each zip is flashed. You can modify your selection in any way you want, like re-order your selection, delete any entry and what not. And finally, when you confirm, device will boot into (TWRP) recovery, flashing the zips in the very order you selected.
To see the complete feature list, visit the play store page or XDA Labs page.

Well I am not much acquainted with Xposed and its modules coz I don't use it, but I remember they are .apk's.
Can you link me to those zip files which you are talking about, so that I can take a look and add it in next update?

This
And sorry I just forgot that modules are apk
And if there is way to get kernels differently, is also welcomed.
And sorry for making so many requests!

We will see about xposed.
And custom kernel support is not possible because various devices have various custom kernel, sorting them would be simply not possible..

Great app.
Very useful especially for beginners.
But I have 4 main requests that will improve the app :
1_it's really bothering that every time I want to launch the app it scans for zip files, it takes a lot of time especially for the low-end phones and for phones that have large Memory.
Maybe you should make it saves the path of the zips and names and add a refresh button in the AppBar in case we add new zip.
2_Add wipe davlik-cache,
It's really needed when flashing modes.
3_maybe in the future you should add an options to explore the zip and extract some files.
4_add a new layout for backup and restore specific files from system (build.prop_framework-res....etc) or the whole ROM and save it as a flashable zip in case the flashed ROM has bootloop or some problem you can restore it form recovery.
Sorry for asking a lot I know it's the first release and that is a lot to ask.
So far the app works great and the design is simple and beautiful as usual (I know from your previous apps)
Thanks for your hard work

Great app UI and Idea, but on my Nexus 6 XOSP 6.3, It doesnt detect anything. I give the root access and storage permission, but it stays at "uhh,nothing here". And thats really it. Any idea? Is there some folder i need to put my zips in?(like delta uses). Thanks!

Sorry for late reply, I was busy in the mean time with M and N bringups for some devices.
In Marshmallow ROMs, there is a problem detecting internal storage, which will be fixed in next update, which will come very soon.
Edit: 1.5 is up, check labs

Update 2.5
With previous update (2.0 and 2.1), app was recoded from scratch, resulting in many optimizations and bug fixes.
For example, with 2.0, came better storage detection logic and faster file scanning algorithm, while 2.1 added more modern UI elements.
With 2.5 comes many of the requested features like Zip scan caching, separate option for dalvik cache, and new features like search, respective logos for popular custom ROMs etc.
Please refer to XDA Labs for full changelog.
And do rate and review .

Version 3.0 was released with many cool features.
- Zip selection for flashing was totally revamped. When you tap a card, it will now flip and you will see various partitions you can wipe. Select any if you want to and then tap the card back, it will flip back and notify that the zip has been selected for flashing. And now you can even update what you want to wipe by tapping one of the already selected card back and re-doing the drill. You can even remove it from the flash queue.
- The UI where you are shown what you are going to flash (i.e flash queue) is also revamped.
- Statistics section is also revamped, now shows total size each class of zip is consuming.
- You can also perform TWRP backup and restore operations from the app.
- Some SU related issues (especially on newer security models) were fixed.
- There are always under the hood performance improvements and cleanups.
And all this feature additions barely saw the app size rising. Do check the new screenshots under screenshots tab.
And btw, Custom ROM Manager was released in Play Store too, few days back.

Maybe was i to lazy to find it, but it took already a lot of Time to find the "Custom ROM Manager". How can i add My LIGHT PATCH to the Patch Section of Your Project? I wold like to push Your App by default alongside with My Patch in the Future to use it as kind of OTA Updater. Maybe could You direct Me, or do i even have something new for You? (Checking build.prop for the Patch Version so the App can advise a Update if needed!?)
Would be cool to be Part of that! I'm really looking forward to contribute to it...

Does quick charge work?

Been running for a couple of days now without issue.

Yes it works, I've beeen using 2 QC3 chargers with no problems at all.

Awesome, works great so far. Here are a few things I noticed :
1- Keyboard didn't show up easily during setup, but eventually it became smooth
2- Following apps did not install (Package Helper error) : Fitbit & Spotify. Spotify was a known issue in stock rom but Fitbit was working fine in stock.
3- Netflix is not available. Previously I had LineageOS 13 and I was able to install Netflix. I know they banned uncertified devices, but I was still able to get it with that rom.
4- Fingerprint is not working 100%. I am able to unlock the device with it but apps are not able to use it properly. For example try Starbucks or any banking app. They will ask if you want to use fingerprint, you say yes and you put your finger, some apps crash, others will say fingerprint recognized, but then they don't actually store/use that fingerprint? Something must have gone wrong... LineageOS 13 also had this issue, but stock rom did not.
I would like to know if it's possible to not have the customizations you did for colors. Blue (pun not intended) hurts my eyes and transparency doesn't look great with some apps open. Also, if you go to device encryption, because you changed colors, some foreground and background colors are now identical and I wasn't able to read the options... I think that screen was the one for if I wanted to ask for password when the device boots.
Also do you have a git for the source tree? I'm learning to build Android and am hoping to see how you are doing things?
Thanks again and keep it up!

I'm doing my mods on the precompiled factory rom. If you go to the Lineage OS thread, Vampirefo has a link to the device and vendor tree he created for his rom. I am considering having two versions of my rom for the Mini. A light theme (stock) and dark theme the one that is out now. Right now the rom is only in testing stage. I enjoy seeing your interest in learning how to do what I am doing, the more developers the better.
Thanks for you feedback, here are some helpful links. I am a Linux user and my links may be geared toward Linux, some things can be done in Windows, but some require Linux.

This is awesome thanks so much!! I use Windows on a daily basis but I do have a pretty good knowledge about Linux and have set up a build environment in for Android. These links should help me understand what I am missing. I am also happy to continue testing and give you feedback on this ROM as it is currently my daily driver.

New Rom out. It has the stock theme, other than that it is the same.. I haven't decided if I'm going to build two Roms or have the theme be a patch. Maintaining all the different variants of the Rom are getting to be very time and space consuming.

Strange question, but on the original stock rom, I started having issues with the Package Access Helper not working, while installing updates for Paypal, and just straight up trying to install Spotify, even the APK. I did a full factory reset, still did not work. I also installed the custom rom over at BLOX2.com, and the Package Access Helper still would stop working, even after clearing data/cache. I'm just curious if you know if your rom will fix that issue?

Is this without root? I don't know if my rom will fix that, I never used the Paypal app. Your welcome to try and let me know. Also there is LineageOS 13 for the mini which has been built from source.

New rom rebuilt from the 01/04/2018 update.
v 1.1.0

There is a problem with the latest version of SRGX2. Mobile data doesn't work. I work on it this weekend and keep everyone updated.

Here is the fixed rom.

Good news I was able to get Android File Host to make the Life One X2 an official device. I have made a request for the Mini too. For now all the files will be under the Life One X2 device.
Updated rom: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939824825
It includes the stock Calendar, Clock and Calculator apps. I changed the DPI to 441. Let me know if anyone has any problems with the Playstore. I know that there has been some requests for the stock Camera and file Manager apps. It's hard to please everybody so I added a patch section which may please some.
