A Marshmallow update should solve this as it uses Android's generic fingerprint API that supports 3rd party apps.
Will it support L-22 variant?
What is the current status of cyanogenmod development for our device ?
Please port Cyanogenmod for the KIW-L22 model as well.
All the 16/2 models should be supported eventually since they are almost the same. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Cosmo, thank you for your help in attempting to keep the threads clean.
Have you been able to build CM using the manifest provided in the dev thread? I have been unable to build in Ubuntu 15.10 and Mint 17.3 Mint gets a lot further than ubuntu.

I am running Mint 17.3. And after installing all the packages mentioned in aosp and cm guides, it builds just fine. And yes, I copy-pasted my roomservice.xml to that post.

Maybe I should switch to Mint instead of Ubuntu 14.04. Not sure why that would have such a huge impact on building, but it's worth a shot.
Well, I was able to build with the latest sources today!
Is anyone else having trouble downloading apps from Google Play over wifi? I tried wiping the cache for both Google Play and Google Framework but that didn't help.
Finally got CM12.1 built and installed.....................
I've attached a couple pics. I can confirm that dual sim functionality seems to work. I haven't tested it fully yet but can switch data/voice and sms between the two sims and l have sent txt messages and made phone calls with both. The one issue I see at the moment is that the number 2 sim defaults to 2g data and won't switch to lte.
I know this is possible with the stock huawei rom but it seems like cm12.1 only allows lte on the 1st sim slot.
**Update**
After a little more testing, I can get LTE or 3G on Sim 2 if I set Sim 1 to 2G. Only one sim on LTE or 3G at a time.

I got a weird error when choosing to update some apps from the my apps screen but when i went to each individual apps playstore page and selected update, it then gave me a cancel/accept permissions dialog and installed just fine at that point. installed GPS Test and Ingress with no problems.
I used the full version of gapps. Although, I do have data via my sim, I was watching the traffic arrows during the install and they we're on the wifi icon so I assume they installed via wifi. let me turn on airplane mode and try to install something else.
* No issues installing apps from the play store via wifi with airplane mode on to disable cellular data. Just installed wink app

I don't know if it's a right place to ask .
Can you say when we can expect it's release .
Fedup of stock really .
And congrats u did a great job , stock too supports LTE only on one sim and other on 2g .so it's common not an issue either .
Open gapps super, full and aroma versions are not allowing to sign up even on clean wipe on stock .
I flashed and tested all (tried getting enough space by removing previous gapps (not core gapps) ) .
The other one's , full ,mini , micro , nano and Pico are working better and the RAM usage by them is pretty good.

What is OmniROM?
Why OmniROM ?
OmniROM Gerrit Review
This thread is intended for questions, troubleshooting, etc. NOT related to the DEVELOPMENT OF OmniROM
With the added support for ALL variants of the jf family (Galaxy S 4), I am going to open this thread up to Q&A related to ALL jflte devices :good:
So those with questions regarding OmniROM, post em up here and they'll be answered to the best of our ability! :good:
Frequently Asked Questions will be posted in Post #2, and VERY Frequently Asked Questions will be posted in Post #3 of the ROM thread
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why don't I have root access after installing OmniROM?
A: OmniROM does not have an official, prebuilt root method yet, so you'll just need to flash SuperSU in recovery and you'll have 100% working root access. SuperSU can be found here: SuperSU
Q: Where is <insert feature here>, like CM/AOKP/PA/etc have??
A: Omni is still very early in development, but moving at an incredibly fast rate. New feature, bug fixes, and device support are added just about daily. Check it out here: OmniROM Gerrit Review for the latest and greatest
Q: How do I start/stop screen recording?
A: Volume UP + Power will start screen recording. Simply drag the notification bar down and click the button to stop.
Q: HALP NFC doesn't work!!
A: We know.
What can the average user do with the Dev tools app to improve their experience on this rom?

I wouldn't touch the DevTools app. It's mainly for developers to be able to see process and other things to make sure that their apps/ROMs are running properly "behind the scenes".
I am planning on hiding it from the AppDrawer, I just haven't gotten around to it yet, sorry!
It will be removed in the next build :highfive:
SD card Error
Whenever I install this ROM it never reads my SD card. I have wiped data/system, cache and dalvich and still won't read it.

You'll have to do some searching but it has to do with the way the SD is formatted. There was a lot of talk in the CM11 thread about that. Sorry, can't offer up any more...
Does this occur with certain apps?
I know with apps like Titanium backup or Hide it pro I have to go into settings and point the app back to the SD card before info can be recognized. For example go into Titanium backup and under preferences choose SD card and the info is then read from it.

WIll it work with mk2
I just updated my modem to mk2. Will this ROM still work with this modem or will I have call or text problems that would lead me to flash back to MDL.

From experience I tried 4 various modems until I found the one that works on my S4 I9505 from Australia, i even tried flashing modems with a different country code than my stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Sami.. Basically keep trying till you find what works for you
Activation??
Whnever i do a clean install of the rom - my phone tries to reactive itself by calling *22899 and then the next screen it tries to activate data. Both of these activation steps are failing and my data connection has become really weak. Anything I can do to fix this? (I updated prl and profile before installing the rom - i also wiped cache,factory reset/wipe data,format system, format dalvik cache)
I am using OmniRom on my i9505 and i recently found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2546120
Becausethe S4 is using a Qualcomm chip i am curios whether i would benefit from it. So here comes my quastion. Is OmniRom already using this, or as mentionend in the thread, another more optimzied version of bionic, dalvik or both (Quote: "don't use the bionic patch on CyanogenMod, PSX and probably others, because they already have more optimized versions!") ? Thanks

Hi Guys,
Hope you guys are fine. As you guys know the development for our beloved OnePlus X is increasing day by day; thought I might share what I found in one of Opo Chinese forum with the permission of the Dev who developed this rom.
I've provided the description simple as much as possible using google translate(God Damn it!!)
ColorOS 2.1
Color is everything to us. It shapes us, molds us, and makes us who we are. ColorOS was designed to bring that same sense of excitement and warmth to the smartphone world. An OS that combines speed, efficiency and stability to bring pixels to life.
My personal Guessing how this rom was developed:
As you might know the Oppo A30 device is a direct clone of our OnePlus X. So, it appears the Dev has used the same sources to compile the Rom for our onyx
New Build Check here for download link and changelogs
Features:
1. Color OS v2.1 based on Android 5.1.1(LP)
2. Stable and smooth Experience(Trust me, you'll love the smoothness )
3. Support the Three-Stage Switch, Black Gesture
4. Many features, you can feel it on your own experience
Flashing Procedure:
If you don't know what is this, then please stay away. Rest of them can continue further.
Unlock Bootloader (you might think this is a lame one)
Flash Twrp recovery or similar
Download and copy rom on phone
Go into recovery (phone off, press power button + Volume up until some seconds from vibration, then release only power button for 2 seconds and release also volume button)
Do a nandroid backup (don't blame me if you mess up something at the end)
Do all wipes (except internal memory and ext SD, Wipe section)
Tap Install voice
Select the rom
Swype to flash
Reboot
Getting Root:
Couldn't get the attachments from the original post so tried flashing SUv2.52 and voila, I got root access. You can check the Screenshot for confirmation
If you don't have time for google, you can download SU from here or here which I used.
Bugs:
Everything should be working fine as I couldn't find any bug listed in the original post
[*]Not really a bug, couldn't get Google service to work on this, something you might want to think if you plan to use this as your daily driver
Still many part of the rom is in chinese, hopefully the Dev can bring a global variant of the OS to our device.
Getting Google Play Services to work
First download this Google installer file from here. Once you install the downloaded app you'll be getting a startup like the below image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press the Blue Button. You will now be provided with a screen like below:
Please make sure you're connected to your wifi or mobile data. You'll now be prompted to accept the installation like given below:
Once you've accepted all the installations, you'll now be able to add your google account and you'll be having the Playstore. Once you've setup your google account you can use the play store to download all your favorite google apps I guess this makes this rom a daily driver
Working:
Everything

shumxin for bringing this rom to our beloved OnePlus X
Special thanks to eduardopfreire for linking me to the Google installer's thread from miui.
Part of the thread lines were inspired from threads started by FabioSan and CBpbxEcmecmBeH
Special thanks to Robert Lyu for providing with link from official thread and other information.
If you think this ROM bought you a new experience, you can make a small donation to shumxin. It does not matter how many donations, your support is my greatest encouragement.

The main event is in this thread, where the developer "shumxin" shares his custom built version.
Feel free to show yours to the community.
Note: Don't know why the model number shows as E1001, trust me this rom was flashed on a E1003 model so feel free to ignore the model number in the image.

install latest google play apk from web that will do the job
Hi guys,
I built the latest omnirom for our Z3 compact using sources kindly provided and created by Humberto Borba. There will be very little support for this ROM but I wanted to provide it as is for anyone who wants to use a custom ROM as the current choices for our device are pretty limited. I am not a DEV for this device but I do know how to build.
You will need an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
So all that goes with that ie loss of DRM etc applies here. You will also need the latest version of the bootloader to get this to work, so ensure you are coming from an uptodate 5.1.1 ROM or any 6.0.1 ROM
If you want to install GAPPS then you will need to do it immediately after installing the ROM. Do not reboot and then install GAPPs
Whats more the camera does have the fisheye lens distortion. Anyone following the AOSP dev work will be familiar with all the issues on the phone.
Again I am not posting this as a DEV project or in the DEV channels as I didn't develop it and won't be supporting it in any meaningful way.
kind regards

Updated link to folder of all builds so I won't need to update links anymore
Can you take screenshort
Ill take some screen shots on the next build. Omni have just added a new camera for snap dragon devices so I am keen to give that a spin

Hi! Thanks for your work with thiese vanilla build. I'm so impressed the whole flash procedure. I'm came from slimm1.5 rom, wiped data, cache, dalvik, system in twrp 3.0.2.0 then flashed omnirom homemade, after that slimm gapps. The whole flash time, the first time boot was incredible fast. The whole system was quickiest to the nowdays roms. I tested the new camera, but i think the fiah eye bug is still there.. But maybe not so "big eye" like previously aosp roms. Anyway, I like it. Now, testing the battery life

@mcgi5sr2 thank's 4 building a custom rom and being motivated to contribute here. do you see any way to get rid of the fisheye camera bug? i've bought my z3c in january 2015 already and built/offered a custom rom (pacman) some weeks later. i stopped contributions 3 months later, when i went to holidays and needed a fully working camera. since then i saw MANY MANY talented and motivated developers & contributers here coming and leaving within only 1 year. i'm personally using concept rom which i find quite satisfying for every day use.
but i think there won't be any wide rom developement for that nice little device if the pictures taken keep being that unusable...
regards
As of yet I don't know how to get rid of the fish eye lens effect. If I am honest I probably won't anytime soon either as I have a lot to be working on IRL

Hi Charles,
I have not been able to gain root. Initially I thought it was due to the SEpolicy denying root access. However the last few builds have had SEpolicy set to permissive so would allow root. However I am still struggling to even install root. The official Omni line is that all their builds allow for the use of systemless root from Chainfire. They do not support system root which is what is used on the stock Sony derived builds.
If you have any success regarding root please let me know.

However I am still struggling to even install root. The official Omni line is that all their builds allow for the use of systemless root from Chainfire. They do not support system root which is what is used on the stock Sony derived builds.
If you have any success regarding root please let me know.

You are a good developer, your ROM is the most stable of third party Android M.:good:
Thanks but all praise should go the omni and SonyAOSP teams
Could please post the link (if any) of the config file repo you used to compile the ROM ?

the platform manifest I use is from OmniRoms github.
https://github.com/omnirom/android
and for the AOSP builds
https://github.com/SonyAosp/platform_manifest
as you will be able to see from these, I am only building not developing. That said I am currently synching up again for some new builds. Sony have released some new a3xxx adreno blobs so camera may be even more stable.

Hi guys, I just thought I would make a reference guide of sorts for all of the 925W8 (Canadian) users because there seems to be a bit of confusion about some things, listed below are working roms, kernels, recovery and the proper xposed frameworks.
First and foremost this is in no way any of my OWN work, everything listed here is respectably reference only and any and all credit belong to the respective thread owners!
Second I wanted to share a little side note about our device, it is in similarity to the T-Mobile variant, from what I have gathered so far is that any custom roms from the T-mobile sections and s6/s6 edge universal sections are all compatible with our device provided we also flash a modified kernel afterwards. (suggested kernel with T/W8 call fix listed below.)
Third if anyone wants to add anything feel free to PM me, there are other W8 threads but I thought I would open one based off of my own personal experiences and current up to date methods.

Is the twisted kernel compatible with xtrestolite mod? Does changing the kernel gives your phone smooth and speed performance? Thanks

Honestly with xtrestolite I have been using stock because I've had a busy work week so I haven't been able to test. I never usually use custom kernels unless required (mainly callfix) but plan on checking them out for OC/UV!
I know I said I was updating this yesterday and didn't get around to it so I shall update a few things here and there today throughout the weekend (sorry guys, for whom has been following), I plan on including apps and mods that are universal for all our (listed) ROMs. [MAINLY 6.0+] (I'll also be dabbling in a few other forums to dig up some more useful information.)
I have used custom kernels with the OZOP rom and CRISSCROSS rom with no troubles, ran very smooth! (sorry for somewhat dodging your question until the end heh)

Use that link for your firmware and yes twrp works but you will want to use ODIN on a PC first and then use the PC to flash twrp with odin.

Oooh. Are you trying to flash custom roms?
Let me see if I can find our builds just BL and modem. Then you can just flash that with twrp. Also once you do update to MM you will need latest twrp.

CM13 on 925W8?
I'm a newb. Way back when I had an S3, I installed CyanogenMod and it was great. I haven't dabbled since. I'd like to install CM13 on my SM-925W8. Can someone tell me whether or not this is possible? I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
Updating my phone now, just got an over the air update. It says its version 7.4.2, 372.62 megs, and in the info section it says it includes Band 12, VoLTE, and security updates. For those on stock, you guys may want this, especially those on T-Mobile.
I just tried to update my stock phone and it says no update available.

I still haven't received an OTA update. Are you a stock BLU r1 HD or Amazon variant?
and is 7.4.2 Nougat? just asking because I would think the 7 would mean the version of android and Marshmallow is 6.

It appears it only provides the security patch, band 12 & VoLTE. Android remains at 6.0.
---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 AM ----------
So I've noticed that when I'm at work on band 12 I have full bars on 4G LTE. However it keeps reverting to band 2 where I barley have a 4G LTE signal. Isn't it supposed to connect to the strongest signal automatically? I have to go into MTK and disable band 2 for it to connect to band 12.

still no update here~ and yes I would think it would work on the stronger/strongest singnal, but then again this is "new" on the BLU r1 HD and there could be some bugs.
The update completely messed up my phone. My R1 is a completely bone stock prime version phone. Over half of my apps disappeared, and play store is not working at all to reinstall them. I tried uninstalling updates to the playstore from system settings, but that isn't working either. I hope I don't have to do a factory reset and start all over.
Any ideas of what else I can try?

Nevermind. All of my apps that were on the SD card are what disappeared and wouldn't reinstall. As soon as I moved just one of the apps back to the system storage, the rest reappeared.
Stock phone. Got the update last night. Went well. Wireless Update is now v5.5. Is band 12 & VoLTE of any extra value on ATT?
Edit: Guess it can improve voice calls on the same network.

BTW, if you're on Airvoice like me, and maybe other MVNOs like H2O, you have to call and have LTE activated.
I tried updating many times Everytime just reboots and sends me to twrp and i reboot and the update doesn't work. Fk.

Here's a link on it as well. Apologies for the late inclusion.
Prime/non-Prime update
From what I've been able to gather, this update only applies to the Amazon Prime variants.
...and I literally just converted to the non-Prime ROM via ColtonDRG's guide. Now I'm stuck on v12 without VoLTE (what I really want/need) unless I go back to the Prime ROM I'm going to bed and hoping that this all gets sorted out sooner than later.
still cant get the update

Nonprime users are sol, I have been running this update for a few hours now.

VoLTE is a value for ATT also, not sure if Band 12 will help AT&T subscribers though unless they have some roaming agreements which is possible.
I am stock phone and still haven't received the update.

I was hoping an official update for V12 will be released but it seems BLU don't really care, while amazon is pushing needed updates.
I guess it will be time for me to convert my V12 to V7.4.2 when a safe, clean and open method is available.
