Q&A for [ROM][CM12][5.0][Lollerpop][KANG] Grouper nightly kangs
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][CM12][5.0][Lollerpop][KANG] Grouper nightly kangs. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Will not flash
I keep trying to flash this rom and all I get in TWRP is Error executing updater binary. I was able to flash other 5.0 AOSP roms but I am having trouble with this one.
BSZAospLP v1.1 flashed fine as well as an older build of your rom. The last 2 builds will not flash at all. Same error. TWRP and MultiROM are updated to current versions.
My rom shows a camera installed when I go to manage apps, but it doesn't show in the app drawer and I can't access it. Stock launcher no hidden apps or anything

For me this issue existed already on KitKat. I think the camera app is kinda hidden because the N7 camera isn't designed to take pictures. But some launchers allow you to create an activity shortcut to the respective activity of the camera app to launch it. This works fine for me with action launcher.
First off, I do know that this is a work in progress, and so far, it has been an excellent release. But, I want to know if anyone else is noticing the following issue below or if it could just be my device.
Has anyone noticed if their keyboard response is slow within games, such as Game of War? I'm noticing severe lagging in the keyboard when I'm attempting to chat, send email or do searches. Anything that requires keyboard entry is slow.
I've noticed this as well in other games. I also am running CM12 on my Droid RAZR HD (XT926) and keyboard response is fine. It only seems to be with this build on my Nexus 7 (2012) WiFi, so I can't tell if it's just because Grouper Nexus 7 is just not up to the task of running this, or if it's just the ROM is still early.
I've tried both the stock keyboard that comes in CM12 as well as my default that I use, Swiftkey. Again, on my phone (XT926), Swiftkey works great in the games.
Outside of games on my Nexus, the keyboards work fine. It's only within games that I see the severe lagging. And by severe lagging, I mean that I will select into the input box to start typing and then the keyboard may not show up for 15 seconds. One time, it took over 30 seconds. And then, once the input box has focus, typing on the keyboard appears to do nothing and then maybe another 15 to 30 seconds later, it starts to show up, one type at a time, with seconds of lag between types. Sometimes, it eventually clears up for a bit, but if I start to type longer, it can then start to lag again like before.
Just curious if anyone else has noticed this. I've done a clean wipe. I'm running 11/28 build with f2fs on the data partition, and I'm running it with the MKernel-a72 kernel.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Okay, downloaded the 12/01 image and the keyboard issues appear to have been taken care of.
for me too the 20141205 build is not booting
it is checked. I am trying
pie control
How far are we from setting pie control, either slim pie or paranoid pie. In a lolipop release? This is the most important feature for me.

I think CM discarded Pie control, they didn't include it in CM11. I put my hopes in SlimLP, since Slimkat had a decent Pie implementation.
Problems
Hi,
thanks for the ROM. I have a few questions, problems for which I would like to ask for help:
data and cache partitions are mounted without the discard options. Is this normal? Can this be added?
GPS is not working: E. g. the GPS status app (or Google Maps) does not see a single satellite.
I cannot copy files from the Windows Explorer or by adb push to the (emulated) sdcard/internal memory: error message of adb: failed to copy 'xxx' to '/storage/emulated/0/xxx': Read-only file system
Thank you for your help
Ok answering myself: With the latest build (141222) (part ?) of the GPS problem and the copy problem have gone:
The GPS status app can now find the satellites. Also in one map app (OruxMaps) the location is shown. Unfortunately, it still does not work with google maps.
For whatever reason it is now possible to copy files and directories with the Windows Explorer to the "internal memory". But not with adb push?!?

Is mtp not working on the latest build as of yesterday?
It's not showing up under Device Manager at all so I can't browse for drivers. I've tried disabling and reenabling debugging but I get nothing. When I go to Storage and try to select USB Computer Connection, I get no options or drop down.
It does charge however.
Black screen upon boot
I just flashed the latest nightly after converting it to F2FS using the Windows tool. I also did a full wipe and manually checked to make sure system, data and cache were in f2fs. The ROM boots and 'optimises' apps just fine but then I just get a backlit black screen, only the power button works.
What might be my mistake?

Roebeet, Rothnic, and Myself have been hard at work to bring you what we hope will be the killer ROM for our G-Tablets. Now that we have hit BETA status, we are interested in hearing your feedback including issues and feature requests.
The projects git home is here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB
(here you will find all project code and mods. we are using a free account there and space is limited so ACTUAL RELEASES will happen in the Thread that Roebeet has already started)
Issues and feature requests can be followed and posted here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/issues
(please read before posting new issues or features request so we don't fill up with duplicates. you may also vote up the issues you feel are most important and we can concentrate on those areas based on your feedback.)
The wiki for VEGAn-TAB will be here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/wiki
(there is nothing there yet.... but as we approach a production stable ROM we may be adding some info here)
Thank you for all your support and patience as we iron out some of the more major issue. (ie. SSL! phew so glad we figured that one out..... such a simple mistake too!)
I am usually buried in CODE or REWORK of current framework that I don't come up for air to check XDA much.... But I do watch the GIT Repo and I will try to make a greater effort to keep an eye on this post.
For questions to issues that you are having but others aren't your answer may still be best answered in Roebeet's post.

The single issue I am having is random factory browser crash, and It is the reason that I have kept the tablet.
Can you guys include a tun/tap module to allow OpenVPN to work?
I can't get the Ad Hoc Tether to work from my rooted Hero phone. I had it working on the Zpad with this fix: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413.html
Any thoughts? Anyone else able to connect to an Ad Hoc Tether?
Edit (Fix) I was using the wrong fix. The fix it to apply the wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip
This was the fix I initially did on the Zpad rom, I just messed up and did the wrong fix...
I had a problem with the sound, sdcard, fc on websites, and changing the soft buttons. It was killer despite those issues. Also rotation of the home screen.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Do you guys still been able to copy the files from laptop to G Tablet running beta? I can't do that. Is there any trick to it or you guys using 2nd SD card?

The only issue I have so far is with Grooveshark FCing. Sign up and tutorial screens work fine but the actual interface never loads. Otherwise, great work on this. Its very responsive and other than the GS FCs I have no FCs.
Thank you guys for your hard work.
Wanted to answer a few of the questions. If I forget you I apologize.
OPENVPN support- we'll look into that feature for the future. (MAY not make it into betas)
wpa_supplicant issues.ie adhoc tether. This is an oversight. Should be in next beta
Most of the sound and stock browser FCS have been fixed(Ssl now works)
SD card issues. We are aware and they are all potentially related to a hack we implemented to get external sd support working. This issue includes the internal SD disappearance when connected to pc via usb. This is my PRIMARY focus right now.
Again thank you all for your patience and feedback.
Is there a way to change the launch applications along the bottom? Even if it's a file to modify.

Tmk, it's not fixable. It seems to be hardcoded, silly as that may sound.

I plan on making a supplement or maybe a full image with the same supplicant binary in TnT Lite, plus that updated Gallery and a clean hosts file.
Working on TnT Lite 2.3.0 primarily at the moment, however. I guess I need two devices!
Another random question. .. I am on Tina lite 2.2 and find it to be super stable and flexible. I am concerned about what will happen when the battery gets to low : )
What happens with this rom when the charge runs out?
With b3 I find that I have to clear devoric cache after each shutdown or I lose the ability to run certain apps. Any suggestions?

I tried building the source from
VEGAn-TAB git hub
But it seem that there are missing. When I ran
repo init -u < the url submited in this thread for the git> ( it does not allow me to add urls)
I received the following error
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: manifest default.xml not found
Is it possible to build VEGAn-TAB from source? If it is can you please let me know how?
Thanks
what do i have with VEGAn Beta4??
the only issues i have with this rom is with sdcard2 or the microSD card, only when i put jpeg files in it and i open the gallery to load them and when i do a reboot all the pictures are gone from the microSD card, but just the pictures i can open the music player and play all songs and reboot and they still in there the issue is only for me with image files. After i update the kernel with the patch that has been post on the vegan beta4 topic i think this is almost perfect....i hope you can fix the files getting erased on the microSD card.....but after all you guys are doing and amazing job with all the ROMS you have made....i'm very gratefull for all the work you have done, you make love more this tablet....thanks a lot!

Look and make sure there is NOT a .nomedia file in your picture folders, that will prevent them from showing.

Thanks to all the members of XDA and Task's threads, credit goes to everyone as I have just taken info from users input and located it to one place. Thanks to you all for helping us learn everyday
.
Please read the OP in dev thread carefully on latest update, it has some very important info in it.
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if they can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. IF you are going to report a bug - include the necessary information or it will be ignored.
thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and i acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous. Task
Always read the OP. If it says full wipe then do a full wipe. If you don't follow the OP please don't post problems. This isn't helping anyone. Full wipe isn't a big deal. You can backup and restore your launcher settings with Nova or Apex, Backup and restore apps with Titanium backup(pro has the batch feature and is worth the money) and you can backup and restore most of your AOKP settings with AOKP backup. ***AOKP BACKUP can cause issues when restoring. If you have errors after restoring with AOKP BACKUP try the process again without using it.*** Using these three methods takes about 10 minutes. This is barebones backup/restore. If you have a lot of tweaks and kernel changes it will take you longer. So as stated in the OP if you have problems do a full wipe before you report any problems.
Read the change log. This will answer a multitude of questions.
This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions. If you are on a different version of the Galaxy S3 and report a bug please understand that this ROM is AT&T supported only.
This is just to help Task and Ktoon keep repetitive questions out of there thread. If any information in this post conflicts with Task and Ktoon's OP or ROM thread then ALWAYS follow their information first.
Below is am alphabetized list of FAQ, bugs, known issues and tips.

Disable touch sounds to avoid sound weirdness while listening to music or on the phone.
Phone freezing/black screen-try raising your minimum speed or just revert to a rom before the new 3.4 kernel was implemented. Try the 3-13 build.
cLock weather not updating - Either yahoo API change or a weather station down.
AOKP BACKUP
AOKP BACKUP is a great app for restoring most of your settings, but may cause some issues.
Third party app not working properly
This ROM has nothing to to with 3rd party apps. You would need to contact the developer of those respective apps to get support for them. You also need to understand that not all apps support the Jellybean 4.2.x OS yet and need to be updated by the developers in order for them to work correctly. task650
Trying clearing data for that app
If you used TIBU to restore app, clear cache and data and delete the app and download it fresh from the Playstore.
Some people are reporting third party camera apps not working correctly and/or causing stock camera problems. This could be true for a number of third party apps that could be conflicting with system apps.
If any given app/process is giving you problems or fc'ing- try clearning data for that app and/or fixing permissions.
Make sure you have the app updated to latest version. The existing version may not be up to date for 4.2.X or whatever version the ROM is.
If your app won't sync or no notifications - try logging out and then back in. Or try deleting the account and add it back.
2g toggle
If you can't get your phone to wake up-
Hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds - it will restart. You should not have to pull the battery after using this step to restart. It does work and may take a few times for you to get it right.
BATTERY LIFE:
We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread.There are threads for this and the Development threads are not one of them.
There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. This has been stated daily by the Developers.
Install betterbatterystats and figure out if the problem could be something causing a wake lock keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.
Go here to discuss BBS wakelocks and read the how to in the app. It is very beneficial.
It is a known fact that it may take a couple charge cycles for your battery to calibrate and settle in. Also it should be known that these batteries do not need the data cleared for them. THEY WILL CALIBRATE THEMSELVES.
If you are getting over 3 hours of on screen time on a single charge that is nothing to complain about. IF you do see a post in the development thread about battery life, ignore it. Once again, no one uses their phone the same and their set up is probably not going to influence your phone significantly.
Sometimes an app or process is just sticking and a reboot will help.
You could possibly see battery showing charging when not plugged in or a dramatic change after a reboot. Once again this is just the battery fuel gauge recalibrating itself. This is normal.

For some good tips on fixing battery drain go HERE.
Bugs/reporting
Bug reports should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A. task 650
Some bugs are being reported by a few that Task, Ktoon and others are not seeing. Follow avidmovies notes below on trouble shooting/comprehensive reflash and Task's suggestion above on weird sh!t. Stick to the basics and see if problem is there still - such as stay with kernel that is included with rom, skip restoring anything with titanium back up, other words just try the basics and if a certain app has been giving you problems download it from the market instead of TIBU and see if problem still persists. Some apps have been reported to make ROM features malfunction.
If you had a spontanious reboot, we need the file last_kmsg from the /proc folder.
If you have n FC on an app, thats when we want a logcat
Guide on how to logcat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by Task. He does read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. Bug reports without a logcat or a random reboots without a last_kmsg will be ignored.
"Thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and I acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous." Task
Just follow this practice and you will be golden.
If you see a bug reported once - go ahead and report it again with a LOGCAT or proper info.
If you see a bug reported twice and you are seeing it consider it a known bug and the following will probably happen-
Task has the same problem or enough info from LOGCATS provided and will fix it or
Task is not having the problem and can do nothing about it unless a LOGCAT is given
Point here is Task can't fix problems with out the proper information.
"Be patient for the galaxy s3 settings to be fixed." Task --- Some stuff is taken out, left out or temporarily removed for good reason.
If you are going to report a problem, include some details. Kernel, UC/OC, circumstances, etc...
Once again TALKING about a bug without the proper info including either LOGCAT or last_kmsg is nothing but A WASTE OF TIME.
Read THIS posted in the development thread by Task.
HOW_TO_PROPERLY_REPORT_A_BUG
BLUETOOTH
If your phone switches to vibrate when you connect to bluetooth. Check here
Settings>Rom Control > Bluetooth A2DP connected action
No action
Vibrate Mode
Silent Mode
Benchmark Scores
The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. The development thread is not one of them.
CAPACITIVE BUTTONS
For instructions to disable capacitive buttons go HERE!
CM10
This is not a CM10 ROM nor is it based off one.
Comparing the two makes no sense. This is based off Google as is CM10. Other than that there is NO comparison. Please understand this. If something works or is in one rom doesn't mean it will work or is in the other.
If you want to compare CM10 and Tasks AOKP take it to the general section. A development thread is not the place for it.
CRT animation
If you put your animation speeds below .75 CRT will not work.
There are now toggles and more options for CRT - familiarize yourself with them.
DATA CONNECTION/SPEED
If you have no data after a flash, dont freak out.
Try rebooting
Make sure you have data toggle turned on.
Try toggling airplane mode
Check APNs.
If you have no APN's make sure your SIM card is in good and reboot.
If SIM card is not detected during a reboot - your APN'S will/could be blank.
DO you have your IMEI intact?
DATA SPEED PROBLEMS
Data speed can vary greatly depending on user traffic and distance from towers.
SpeedTest app is not a reliable source of accurate data speed
The ATT APN is being phased out by ATT. You need to use the ATT LTE APN - task650
Just because your stock ROM said 4G doesn't mean you actually had 4G/LTE. ATT roms report H/H+ as 4G where as this ROM gives you true data connection.
DATA Symbols
I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show 4G. Also this rom controls data connection and kicks it down to 3G when not using data and kicks to H+ when you need it. This is a feature to save battery.
Blue symbols means you are connected to google servers - gray means you are not
Symbol equals>
G=GPRS
E=EDGE
3G=3G
H=HSDPA/HSPA
H+=HSDPA+/HSPA+
4G=LTE
You must have I337 recovery to flash this ROM or you will get error 7. task650
This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this - check MD5 sum.
Update or try a different recovery.
Remove the build assert in the updater-script.

SD CARD
there is a known issue with apps being unable to write to the external card. Symptoms: you may be able to copy files to the external card or create folders using a file explorer, but apps (TiBu, Dolphin browser, camera, others can't use the external card as a save location, and you can't change properties or delete files/folders. You can still read files (i.e. restore existing backups from TiBu, play music) without problems. This is an issue with the JB build and they're working on fixing it. This does NOT affect CWM - you can still nandroid to the external card alacrify

Redownload rom and gapps
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe dalvik and cache
In mounts and storage select Format System
Then flash rom and gapps
Reboot task650
Gapps
You must flash Gapps AFTER every flash of the ROM.
Use the Gapps in Task's OP or don't bring any problems caused from other gapps to his ROM thread.
Sometimes you may have to flash Gapps twice - they have been notorious for not taking the first time.
Read the OP to see if a new version of gapps is required.
Google now
Phone language has to be set to english for google now to work.
My google apps are working correctly. If it was just the play store force closing all you would've needed to do is reflash gapps. gapps is notorious for not taking the first try. but you always have to flash gapps after a rom install and make sure to clear cache and dalvik. no issues should occur if those steps are taken. Task. Make sure you are using the correct gapps!
Task and Ktoon do not support google wallet. There are fixes available but don't ask Task or Ktoon to fix it.
You can't remove the google search bar with default launcher but you can with nova or apex.
GPS
GPS not working correctly isn't always the ROMS fault. Sometimes its the satellites.
Make sure you have internel GPS selected.
Try flashing original stock and then come back to this rom if you have flashed a TW based rom.
To change your number of home screens
You must use Apex or Nova launcher, possibly some other third party launcher. But the default launcher will not allow you to do this.
You must use Nova or a third paryt home screen to disable search bar.
If you flash other things like inverted gapps or change things from the original packaging of this rom and something goes wrong or doesnt work. Think about it. We cannot support those issues here. This thread is for this rom and gapps that are posted in the OP. Thanks. task650
Inverted gapps are awesome but not supported in Tasks thread.
If you are using inverted gapps and having problems - full wipe and reinstall rom and gapps in the OP and see if problem still persists.
Go here for support of inverted gapps. > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138156
IRC
Task has started and IRC channel for his rom. ##Task650_AOKP
KERNEL:
If you are using any kernel other than the one packaged with this ROM please post questions and problems to the appropiate kernel thread.
you need to understand that all devices are NOT created equally. one kernel might work awesome on my device while at the same time it may work horrible on your device. so to say that Ktoonsez says it works awesome, that means it works awesome for him. It has nothing to do with how it will work for you. If the symptoms that you're talking about are happening with that kernel it's obvious that your device doesn't like that kernel. Easy fix. Use a different one.
If you are using Ktoon's awesome kernel and experiencing problems, try reflashing with the kernel included with this ROM and see if the problem still persists. This may help understanding if the problem is kernel or ROM related and will help benefit development of both.You can full wipe and reflash rom and gapps to be back on original kernel.
If you wish to run another kernel other than what comes with the rom, Task suggest loading rom with included kernel, set up phone, then flash the kernel you want.
Governor/IO scheduler
Change these in performace control in settings
If you do not tick set on boot they will revert upon reboot.
This is a safety check in so you can try settings out before you make them permanent.
Last report in Feb is that Task uses row and interactive as his settings.
LED
LED charging works exactly as it should.
0%-%10 = Red
%10-%90 = Yellow
%90-100 = Green
You can't change the colors for LED Charging unless you download the source and rewrite that portion of code.
You can only change the colors for the Notification LEDs not battery indication color.
Make sure you have "pulse notification light" checked - uncheck to turn LED notification off.
Some colors will not work. Test LED color before relying on it.
Go here for some LED color talk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890774

Please do not post links for Task's ROM or gapps. He wants to keep count of downloads. Thanks.
If you don't have LTE in your area it's not draining your battery.
AT&T is phasing out the old non LTE apn either way so we will all be using the same "LTE" apn. Network mode has nothing to do with you if your on AT&T service. That's only for the Canadians.

If you can't delete the icons in ribbons just use the menu and reset them.
Ringtones
There is not a repeating ringtone on this rom(AOKP). Get a longer ringtone if you want more notification.
More RomControl Settings added
It will take some time to get all the rom control settings back in, be patient.
If you see a major update as in a new kernel, some items will take some time to be added back.
ROM CONTROL: This is a very customizable rom, please spend some time and learn the many features it has.
ROM MANAGER APP
It is advised not to use ROM MANAGER APP. Notorious for causing problems.
SCREEN SHOT
To take a screen shot hold volume down and power button at the same time.
You can add screenshot option to the power menu.
Changing the color of Signal and wifi only changes the color in text mode.
SMS/MMS
MMS not downloading
Some suggestions offered that have helped people with MMS.
Add "hipri" in your APN type and save. This has been reported by several people to help.
This is being seen on several phones with different roms and even iphones. Call ATT.
Try auto retrieve on.
Set Authentication type to "none"
In text client make sure "auto retrieve" is checked in all boxes.
This ROM does not having a problems sending MMS. It is most likely an ATT problem. But you can double check your APN to make sure it is not on your end.
If you are using a third party app to SMS/MMS it is not supported by Task.
If you want to use the quick reply option make sure you have it checked in settings.
SOUND/VOLUME
If you are not getting sounds on something check your quite hours.
Make sure you have not accidentally toggled silent/vibrate.
Take a look at THIS in the play store. It's awesome.
Swag Pink hat - It's a joke. Either you have it or you don't. As cool as Task makes this phone he can't actually help you in this area.
Themes
If you are having graphical glitches and using a theme, try removing any theme and see if it still persists.
CM10 themes should work on this rom but if you encounter problems do not bring it to the thread.
Go HERE for themes.
Toggles
Are located in ROM control
The toggle for DATA is called SIGNAL
TOUCHWIZ FEATURES:
This is an AOSP rom, touchwiz(sammy) features are not incorporated into this rom. Reason you ask? Framework!!!
Chances are something you want from TW is probably in the app store.
Voicemail number missing. Use your call forwarding number.
Try this for ATT visual voicemail.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641981
If your wifi won't stay on while phone goes to sleep check settings to keep on during sleep.
If your phone sometimes drops wifi check settings and uncheck avoid poor connections.
These are found under advanced settings in WIFI.
If you are having problems connecting or using tethering try changing your SSID and try unsecured.
Most of the time lack of WIFI connectivity is usually cause by router settings or router itself.
ROGERS WIFI TETHER
Tether will not work on 4G/LTE unless you use a third party app.
Task can not test/fix since he obviously doesn't have a rogers phone.
Changing the color of WIFI/signal colors only changes the color in text mode.

Reboot
PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.
Test ROM, BEFORE restoring *any data* (if you did a full reset). DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! You have been told twice!
Fixing permissions in CWM/TWRP helps fix MANY *random* glitches.
If you still encounter problems, do a FULL reset ( Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset) & follow the steps again. THEN, you can report issues!
You may have to redownload ROM and/or Gapps. Sometimes you can get a corrupt download that will cause issues. It happens.

Just in case i need more room....
Another just in case....
Pretty much everything is working great on this rom. Very fast and smooth and I like it a lot. I had one "issue" in that the google play store wont let me install Dungeon Hunter 4. It says it is not compatible with my device. I have tried resetting the pixel density and clearing the google play store cache, but that did not seem to fix it. Would anybody be able to check to see if it is available to download on the latest release? I already set everything up and was hoping to not have to wipe.
I'm having an issue with the volume of music I play in Google Play Music using AOKP and Underwear kernel.
Occasionally when listening to music, the volume will decrease somewhat, such as when an alert is going off. The problem is the volume will remain decreased when the event ends. The only way to get the volume to return to normal is to stop playback, kill the app, then start the music again.
I've tried wiping and reinstalling the recent release but the problem persists. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Google Play Music, or the Faux sound built into the kernel.
My status bar seems to have shrunk or shifted a bit since the update. The battery with center text has been shifted off. Any others seeing this? I feel I may have to wipe :/

If there's an issue, and you submit a logcat, and if it's a problem he can fix, he will. If it's a third party app that doesn't play well, he STILL might fix it because he does that. Have you done anything to troubleshoot and provided the information needed for him to look at it?

I've had the issue since the first release of Task's ROM and I haven't tried any other ROM. I'm not too inclined to try out other ROMs to see if it's a ROM issue as the ROI is pretty low for me... But you should try out another ROM and report back.
So I realize in the OP it mentions TW features not working because of the framework. Does this include the camera? Is that a no go? I couldn't copy the camera.apk over and have it work? I've become a fan of the drama mode feature of the camera. Perhaps there is a camera app on the Play store that offers similar functionality? Either way I'm leaving the awfulness that is TW, but having the camera as part of an AOSP ROM would be a nice perk.
Audio Issue logcat
Here's a logcat grab from when the audio issue occurs. This is only the relevant portion of the logcat. The fillbuffer messages are generated during streaming of music so those can be ignored.

From here on out I'm asking you to stop posting in my threads. You are the exact type of user that has no place in a development and/or support thread. You contribute absolutely nothing and all you seem to want to do is place your expectations of what you think I should or shouldn't do. Its not my job to fix everything for you dude. Its also up to you as the user to do you part. I gave you suggestioms of what needed to be done on your end and you seemed to refuse like you knew what that problem was from the beginning. Your personal opinions do not matter to me and I hope it shows. I'm not here to impress, do work for, or hold your hand through these things. If you don't want to contribute, don't. But don't post in any of my threads. Thanks.
Since I am not allowed to post in the developer thread, I want to thank this way for the great gift Omnirom 4.4.
You have breathed new life into my n7000. :crying:
Thanks to chasmodo, herna, AA1973 and all the developers involved in the project for the hard work, patience and humor.
I hope the error report in the new version today (omni-4.4.1-20131208-NIGHTLY-n7000) can help the project to continuously improve.

Same here.. Even I can't post in that thread.
Its a awesome rom, smooth, new features etc. But I have to share some bugs which I thought may be shared here:
1. Can't move apps to sd card.
2. Bluetooth when connected through car (for phone and audio), disconnects and reconnect in every 11-12 mins.
3. Google search and google play services are consuming too much of battery. I guess its a Kitkat issue.
I am currently on 8th Dec rom. Rest is pretty good. No problem at all.

If you use hot word recognition in GLE, then it will drain battery.

Even when I switched off the hot word recognition in GLE, location services off, no auto sync, etc still Google search or google play services is the most battery drainer when the phone is not used overnight.
OmniROM is really a real gift for the N7000. It's much better than Cyanogemod for me, because the performance is better. But i also had some trouble and i'm not able to post in the developers thread. Here are my problems:
- external SD card isn't mounted properly, so i have to take some detours to open it with ES explorer
- when i enable ART i can't lock the screen anymore (omni-4.4.1-20131208-NIGHTLY-n7000)
- OpenDelta is able to reduce the update size, but when it boots into TWRP the update fails because the script is searching /sdcard which is the external SD, but the update.zip is stored in the internal SD which is mounted as /emmc, so you have to update manually
Do you have the same issues ?

Have done that but no success. But yes.. Bcoz of disabling this the footprint of google search on battery consumption is less as compare to previous settings. But other culprit Google play services remains the same.
Just to update on continuous bluetooth disconnection, I unpaired my car connection and also deleted the phone from car and reconnect it. As for now it is paring up nicely for more than 20 mins. Lets see how it reacts if connected for more than this.
My battery is doing fine now, btw.

Use another file explorer. Might be also an issue of es file explorer. Or a mixture of both, as es expects the external in mnt/media_rw
Don't enable ART. It is experimental and has to be treated as such. Hence it is hidden in developer options.
Didn't have such an issue with OpenDelta. In any case. Please remember that
A) Omni is a very "young" firmware
B) OpenDelta has been introduced 2 nightlies ago. Be gentle and patient
For me, OpenDelta worked this morning.

Want to try Ubuntu Touch but don't wanna lose your data or get into the hassless of flashing it through Ubuntu on PC? Well, I got you covered . Although, do note that it is basically a backup of the ROM, which i just booted into and backed up. So you will be setting it up from scratch just like a fresh install/flash.
A message from the UBPorts Community Manager:-
Hi, Community manager for Ubports.
We have calls and headphones working internally but we aren't sending that out yet, the reason why is because the device over heats, currently the device is usable for hours, if we uploaded the code for calls you wouldn't want to put it too your ear.
We are trying to get it fixed though, before the end of this month is what we're aiming for, GPS, Bluetooth etcetera still wont work for a little while but it'll be useable for calls at least.
Also this port isnt just a consept, the port is real and in time will work with all of the hardware.
Its something to note that only this month has the developer decided to take time of work to work on ubports, so he hasn't had much time before now.
Thank you for the feedback.
Obviously some of the feedback doesn't fall on us such as slow app times and how many apps are in the app store, but we are hoping that porting ubuntu to alternative devices may get more developers looking at and creating apps for ubuntu phones.
I hear if this bug was fixed then apps would start much quicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/ bug/1552341

Now, I've personally tested it by switching to an Android ROM, wiping the 4 Partitions and then restoring this backup, so yes I can confirm that it works!
What you need:-
TWRP 2.8.6.0
The TWRP Backup
WinRAR (32 bit or 64 bit)
Instructions:-
1. Download the Backup and TWRP
2. Flash TWRP, I'd recommend using the official TWRP 2.8.6.0 to avoid any issues.
3. After downloading the backup(5 Files), copy them all in the same folder and extract the one without any .z extension. I splitted them to avoid any issues with files bigger than 4GB, because the backup is 4.01GB in size.
4. After extracting you'll find a single TWRP folder, connect you device and copy it to the main directory of your device's storage, Click "Yes" if it asks for replacing any files.
5. Boot into TWRP and Backup your ROM(Optional)
6. Go back to the main TWRP Home screen->Press Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Mark Dalvik Cache,System,Data and Cache (Make sure you don't tick Internal Storage or USB-OTG).
7. While in TWRP, go to the main home screen and press Restore, there select "Ubuntu Touch" and leave all the 4 Boxes checked. Then, Swipe the button on the bottom and wait. The Numbers won't get updated but don't worry, it is getting restored and can take around 3-5 minutes.
7. Restore the backup. It will stay on the 1+ logo for a while so have some patience.

A little Review:-
UI: 8/10. I was really bored with the same old UI of Android, and Ubuntu Touch's UI felt like a good change. The "No buttons required" thing where there's no Home, Back or Menu button might feel weird at first and takes a little getting used to, but in the end provides a refreshing experience.
Stability: 9/10. Its as stable as it gets, No random reboots, No Apps crashing(cause there wasn't any app to use).
Performance: 7/10. Well, there's actually nothing on the App Store to assess the performance but general swiping through apps and menus with more than 8 of em open was smooth for the most part. Webpages load up really quick in the stock browser that comes with it. Although I did notice the phone heating up way too much, reaching temperatures equivalent to what my phone is at after playing heavy games like Asphalt 8, etc. for over 30 mins.
Features: 5/10. Since this is just like a 'Demo' to showcase that Ubuntu Touch running on an Android Device is possible, there aren't many things that work. The Camer, Bluetooth, Calling, 4G(Couldn't test 3G but 2G works), Audio via Headphones(Speakers work fine). Calling doesn't work, Calls fail from my side and when I call from the other side, it keeps ringing, indicating that the call is going on but nothing shows up on the device, where does the call go? I don't know..
Miscellaneous Features: 5/10. The App store on Ubuntu Touch is worse than that of Windows Phone, and believe me when I say that cause I've used Windows Phone as my only device for more than an year. Surprisingly, it has the option to just add a Google Account without having to flash any GApps or something. Then, there's no way you can copy files back and forth without using ADB, so this doesn't feel like an everyday Joe would love to have.
Battery Life: 2/10. Its terrible. Period. I went to sleep with battery at 43%(No flight mode and with Wi-Fi on) and woke up in 4hrs just to find sitting at 5% with the phone switching off in the next few seconds. So yeah, its terrible even with normal usage you'll find it worse than any other Android ROM.
Conclusion: Its still a Work In Progress but at least it boots up, this shows that they might be a little serious about it cause they also have 'Developer' builds uploaded on their website daily. Anyways, I like the concept of having something different from Android, I like where its going and I hope it reaches there..
do you know if this will work with multirom ?

Nope, I won't recommend doing that cause I was on Jgcaap's CM13 before it and had data and cache on F2FS but it never went past the 1+ logo, so I had to come back to ext4 to make it work..

Yep. Go to twrp folder on you internal storage. Then if you already copy Ubuntu backup, you can see two folder named like "2628482"(in twrp-BACKUPS). Now you must cut Ubuntu folder and paste to folder with your backups.. It's all )
A message from the UBPorts Community Manager:-
Hi, Community manager for Ubports.
We have calls and headphones working internally but we aren't sending that out yet, the reason why is because the device over heats, currently the device is usable for hours, if we uploaded the code for calls you wouldn't want to put it too your ear.
We are trying to get it fixed though, before the end of this month is what we're aiming for, GPS, Bluetooth etcetera still wont work for a little while but it'll be useable for calls at least.
Also this port isnt just a consept, the port is real and in time will work with all of the hardware.
Its something to note that only this month has the developer decided to take time of work to work on ubports, so he hasn't had much time before now.
Thank you for the feedback.
Obviously some of the feedback doesn't fall on us such as slow app times and how many apps are in the app store, but we are hoping that porting ubuntu to alternative devices may get more developers looking at and creating apps for ubuntu phones.
I hear if this bug was fixed then apps would start much quicker https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/ bug/1552341

You can actually let multirom app to install it for you! Search multirom thread.
Hi, if I make the backup and then the system wants to start, he tells me that no os is installed. What is the reason for this?

Moto G3 2015 Osprey XT1541 1GB Ram.32bit(ARM)
AFAIK these roms cover other Moto G3 versions but investigate more for yourself.
Always keep Nandroid backups using TWRP of your running Rom. I keep copies of my latest Android 10 Chli360/Lineage running Roms on my Phone's portable SD card in the phone and also on my Laptop.
https://twrp.me
Warning!
I've never bothered with any Android 8 Oreo roms on my G3 2015 Osprey. I went straight to Android 9(PIE).
https://chil360.github.io
I've tried most and now I'm only interested in the Lineage versions and the Havoc versions of Android 10 as these keep the Hardware FM radio that I like to use.
Havoc version,
Havoc-OS-v3.3-20200306-osprey-Unofficial.zip
Working fine and
Lineage,
ineage-17.1-20200308-UNOFFICIAL-osprey.zip
Working fine.
Note: If I recall correctly Chil360 Havoc Android 10 Rom does not need Gapps installing. If Lineage does I use Arm_10_Pico,
Note:
When setting up the phone I never let the phone install backups automatically I have my apps backed up on my SD card and re-install them from there. Google photos will not not clone-Install and a few others so I just re-download those.
Contacts:
Although Google backs up contacts lists to be safe I keep an,"Old School" backup using the Contact's apps Import/Export option and save them to a .vcf file. This will look like contacts.vcf or 000001.vcf on the phone wherever you have chosen to save it. This can be imported into any contacts app,Even on APPLE phones!
I send a copy of this .vcf file to myself attached to an Email. This means I can download my contacts to any phone anywhere in the World if I ever need to.
Note:
I never encrypt my phones so cannot answer any questions on this subject.
If you want to,"Root" the phone then install the .zip version of Magisk from your phone's Internal Memory and keep it on your phone's Internal memory. You install the .zip using TWRP's install option and always take it's advice on clearing Dalvik Cache and Cache.
Then once the phone is booted update both it and it's manager via an Internet connection.
Note: Some,"Pay/Money" apps will detect that you are running a non-stock rom. You can hide these apps using,"Magisk Hide" and in some cases you need to Hide the app AND then use Magisk option to rename itself. You can call it anything you like but keep it simple like Osprey.

Chil360 has updated the April 2020 Havoc 3.4 and it now installs on the Above phone. I am testing it as I post.
Havoc-OS-v3.4-20200417-osprey-Unofficial.zip. Does not require Gapps installing.
BTW I do like the AOSP_Pizza Android 9 rom for Chil360 as well(Still has FM RAdio).
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261742008
I go back to it sometimes as it has some features others don't have like showing local temp on the Lockscreen and also allows me to install a Custom boot animation logo. I like the old,"Stitch" Moto Logo
The Android 10 roms won't let me change the animated loading logos(They will let me change the static boot logo) or I need to find versions that will work with Android 10
Moto G3 2015 Osprey XT1541 1GB Ram.32bit(ARM)
Just thought I'd update.
Started to install Chil's latest Paranoid Android and it installed fine but stopped as I realized it doesn't have as many tweaks as Havoc 3.4.
Things I like about Havoc 3 series.
I can have,
Date and time in the notification bar.
Battery percentage next to Battery icon and time left when Notification bar is swiped down.
Easy to swap software buttons(I'm right handed so like my Back button on the right).
It still lets me use my old version of Holo Launcher.
You can assign functions to the Software buttons like Long press to Lockscreen. Can't seem to get Long press to enable the Flashlight tho
Advanced Restart on Power button.
Loads more tweaks to explore.
One thing I would like but I'm not sure if the Motos are capable but I have a cheap China phone that lets me double tap the screen to wake it up and I don't mean just at the Top of the phone I mean anywhere on the screen.
I can't see myself using any other version except as stated AOSP Pizza for a bit of a change now and then
PS
Continued thanks to CHIL his work is much appreciated keeping these Classic little phones going
Latest Chil360 roms are out. I'm running Havoc(May Security updated) but FM radio not working
Has anybody else had issues with the FM radio not working after upgrading to v3.5-20200508 version of Havoc Android 10 for Moto G3 2015? I found after upgrading to this version, the FM radio would no longer work, it would just freeze. Downgrading to v3.4-20200417, it would work perfectly again. Upgrading again to v3.5-20200508, it no longer would work. Has anything been changed that would cause this? Other than this issue, I believe that the ROM is excellent.
Gord
Glad you found this. Checking the FM radio is usually one of the first things I do but didn't this time
Yes you are right it's not working for me as well in Havoc 3.5.
Gone back to 3.4 with no problems :good:
Gordster
Thank you for responding to my reply and addressing the FM radio issue. I have found one other ongoing problem with the camera app. This has been occurring with all custom roms that I have tried whether Android 9 or 10. When photos or videos are saved to the internal phone, they go to the "main storage\DCIM\Camera" directory. I however like to save my photos and videos directly to the SD card.
With Android 6 they could be directed to "sdcard\DCIM\Camera" directory but with all custom roms I've tried when directed to the SD card, they wind up in "sdcard\Android\data\org.lineageos.snap\files" directory. Can this be changed so they go directly to the default location "sdcard\DCIM\Camera" directory?
Thanks
Gord

I haven't used a Stock android Camera for years. I use the way better,"Open Camera" .You can set it to save to the SD card by enabling it's framework option and then pointing it to the SD card. It now says it contains ads but It used to be ad-free but I haven't seen any ads even in the latest version.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en_GB
Open Camera > Gear icon(settings) More Camera controls and Use Storage Access Framework and then Save location and say yes to permissions asked

How can you use the OpenCamera? I try that but the photo with flash are blur, only Moto Camera can do photo with flash without the blur effect.

Open camera has worked on all the roms I've tested.
Try another Camera app and if it does it with that you may have a hardware fault
Make a Nandroid backup and then do a Factory reset from Recovery mode but when setting up the phone don't let Google auto install any apps and just get to the Stock camera as soon as you can and see if it works. There may be an app you install that is causing the problem.
BTW.
Check back through this thread on how I install custom roms. I do it clean and add my apps back after I've got into the phone from .apk backups.

See previous reply and also I don't know if you know the,"Soft Reset" trick on Moto phones that can clear some problems.
Press and hold the Power button in for around 10/15 seconds until the phone restarts. This emulates taking the Battery out and can clear clogged RAM of old data that can prevent correct operation
I've been running the latest May AOSP PIZZA
AOSiP-9.0-Pizza-osprey-20200517.zip
Since yesterday and all seems fine so far. Only thing missing is the local Temp on the lock screen unless I'm missing a setting. This was the same with the last version
Not a deal breaker
Installed Chil360's latest AOSP_QUICHE Android 10 June updates(Clean install).
AOSiP-10-Quiche-osprey-20200605.zip
All working well including FM Radio. Updated TWRP using the APP to 3.3.1 as the TWRP clock and date went funky but may not be related.
Phone is still rooted with Magisk and Root removed before installing clean and then re-rooted and Magisk updated.
Nice editing option to move Software buttons around in the AOSP roms. When texting I have a habit of hitting the Home button making my SMS app disappear. I've moved my Home button a little off-centre more to the right(I'm right handed) and this has cured that
Update. The Rom is working well but it's doesn't feel as slick as the AOSP_PIZZA version(May version) so I've gone back to that for now just out of personal preference.
So presently my faves are Havoc 3.4 and Havoc 3.6(Android 10) 2020 and AOSP_PIZZA Android 9 May 2020 version(Moto Stitch Boot animation).
Again my ongoing thanks for CHIL360's work in keeping these great little phones updated
Latest Android 10 Havoc 3.6 released by Chil360 with June 2020 updates,
https://chil360.github.io/ten.html
Gapps included.
Installed and all working e.g Text/Calls/GPS/FM Radio/ WiFi/WiFi Hotspot/Camera/Bluetooth etc.
Very fast booting and really slick
One possible glitch is the Stock Camera has the option to Save to SD but it doesn't seem to work. As I rarely use the Stock Camera preferring the much better,"Open Camera" from the Playstore this is not an issue for me
PS
Because of the dedication of the Android Developers on here we have an old 2015 Phone/s with more up-to-date software than many brand new phones
Chil360 has released a first and new Rom to his collection. Android 10 PixelExperience Plus 10.0,
https://chil360.github.io
If you like Google I think you will like this
I wonder if he might be looking to work on the new Android 11 if it can be used on the Moto G3
Then install Gapps if required.
Then do another Factory reset for good measure.
If ever there's a problem when first setting up after the first boot-up has loaded just press and hold the Power Button in for around 10/15 seconds and the phone will reboot(Soft Reset) which emulates taking the Battery out. [/B]
Chil360 has released a new Rom,
potato_osprey-10-20200619-croquette.v3.2.0+15.Community.zip
Unfortunately I cannot test it as it boot-loops.
Tried all my tricks but no good
Gone back to Havoc 3.6
Latest POSP Croquette v3.2.0-hotfix+16 loads but no FM radio so no good to me
Back to Havoc 3.6(Android 10)/ AOSP_PIZZA Android 9 May version
July 2020 Havoc 3.7 released by Chil360.
Installed clean and running well
The Havoc 3.7 July 2020 release by Chil360 IMO is the best and most stable custom rom I've tested for Moto g3 2015 (osprey) and is highly customizable. I especially like the "smart battery charger" feature which allows the charger to be set at a maximum percentage in my case 92%. I have not found any other custom rom with this feature. This will help prolong the battery life by not charging it to 100% every time. The July 2020 release installed fine and is running with no apparent problems. I tried the latest "official" lineageos version July 3 2020 but had problems with random spontaneous reboots.
