Photobooth
Hey together!
As some of you already know my private life changed and i’ve not the time for android i had before (and also lost interest on it).
Currently i am spending my limited time on a Photobooth Project for the Raspberry Pi (but also works on other Linux distributions and Windows).
You can find all information here and maybe someone of you likes to join the project.
I wish everyone a wonderful christmas time!
Android 4.4 ROMs
All Android 4 Roms will be updated within the next days. Security Patch Level not updated this time because there’s not everything patched mentioned in Android Security Bulletin report.

Private
Some might ask why there’s no new Updates since one month… We’ve had some problems with UA’s server, which why we had no gerrit and jenkins.
My cat Shorty is doing better, he still needs his cortisone but we’re adjusting it until he don’t need it anymore. We still have to visit the vet from time to time to check his blood.
In the meantime i worked on a great Photobooth project for the Raspberry Pi as i also needed a break from android again.
My girlfriends dad passed away last week, earlier than thought. This has been a big shock for all of us… He’s the most important person for my girlfriend (together with her daughter) and i am so sorry we didn’t had more time together…
I hope to find some time next weeks to update all my supported ROMs again, but i can’t tell you an ETA.
Updates
Available Updates for Galaxy Tab2:
Private
I’ve noticed there have been a few donations made to me within the last months and it is really time to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I am not sure what i am doing wrong in life, but life always finds a way to steal the ground under my feets… Cancer here, Cancer there… and no one has a chance to get health (uncle, father of my girlfriend)…
And now I’ve been at the Vet a couple of times since Thursday last week because my cat “Shorty” wasn’t feeling good and i din’t liked it. First the Vet thought it was a psychologic problem because of my private life changes… It didn’t got better, no matter what i changed at home and no matter how much time i’ve spend with him. He wasn’t really eating…
The second time i’ve visited the Vet they found a anaemia… The results have been really bad: He could have needed blood transfusions…
3 diseases could have caused his anaemia and 2 could be handled with antibiotics and cortisone. He was tested back in 2009 on the 3rd disease, negative, which made it unlikely. He’s getting both since 2 days now and he’s on a good way, but still he’s not fit enough as he lost some weight as he wasn’t really eating.
After some more blood test i today got the result: autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
He’s now getting ReConvales Tonicum to help on fixing his weight loss, there’s been so much great feedback on that around the internet and i am hoping it’ll help him too.
He now needs to visit the Vet 1-2x/week to watch if his blood is changing back in the righ direction and to adjust the cortisone.
Your donations helped a lot on paying these expensive bills! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!
Updated ROMs (UPDATED 18.05.2019)
Available Updates for Galaxy Tab2:
Available Updates for Galaxy Nexus:
Available Updates for OnePlus One:
TWRP 3.3.0-2
I’ve compiled new TWRP 3.3.0-2 for the Galaxy Tab2 (all device specific Tab2 variants too) and Galaxy Nexus variants.
Official changes until 5f177ae from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-9.0 branch).
Extra: Removed TWRP App as it is not needed on unofficial TWRP builds.
TWRP 3.3.0-1
I’ve compiled new TWRP 3.3.0-1 for the Galaxy Tab2 (all device specific Tab2 variants too) and Galaxy Nexus variants. This is a hotfix release to fix an issue with Nougat Updater.
Official changes until 1da568f from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-9.0 branch).
Extra: Removed TWRP App as it is not needed on unofficial TWRP builds.
Anykernel Galaxy Tab 2
Since this community can’t be silent about OC for Tab2 i’ve picked OC changes from @ketut.kumajaya to our new common kernel.
Applied OC Patches have been very well tested in the past on our old kernel.
TWRP 3.3.0-0
I’ve compiled new TWRP 3.3.0-0 for the Galaxy Tab2 (all device specific Tab2 variants too) and Galaxy Nexus variants.
Official changes until 1ecb6df from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-9.0 branch).
Extra: Removed TWRP App as it is not needed on unofficial TWRP builds.
Updated ROMs
On last months ROMs there was an issue accessing the status-/notificationbar and quick settings which could be resolved changing the wallpaper. This bug should be fixed on this months ROMs.
Broken OmniROM 7 March-builds have been removed (sorry for that, found the cause after searching last 2 days).
Device specific Anykernel for ROMs since March are still on my to-do-list.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION (Galaxy Tab2 & Galaxy Nexus)
ROMs starting this month contain a lot of OMAP4 related changes. Old kernel, including my older AnyKernel won’t boot on those ROMs.
(ROMs will be up next days)
All supported ROMs have been updated to January or February 2019 ASB.
I’ll provide new device specific kernel (Galaxy Tab2) for people who have problem booting the common kernel which comes with the ROM (don’t worry if you never had issues in the past, only happened to some people with replaced Displays).
TWRP
I’ve compiled new TWRP 3.2.3-0 for the Galaxy Tab2 (all device specific Tab2 variants too) and Galaxy Nexus variants. Official changes until a833939 from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-9.0 branch).
Information
As some of you know, private life changed for me a lot last months. I am stepping back from Android now and i am not sure if i’ll be back here in future.
Thanks for the support and the great time within the years i’ve been active for different devices! I’ve met a lot of great people around the world but it’s time to concentrate on different things now.
There might be one or more security updates for different roms until end of the year, but i am not going to write about them here. Feel free to check from time to time if there’s an update available for your favourite rom.
Have a good time!
Chromium
Chromium does not compile at the moment, no update this time.
Information about Android 4 & 6
PLEASE NOTE: Patches for Android 4.4.4 and 6.0.1 are not provided by ASB (Android Security Bulletin) anymore.
This means: security wise Android 4.4.4 and 6.0.1 are formally dead.
Nevertheless there are a few enthusiasts, still backporting security patches from recent Android versions. You should know, such backports are no formal ASB security patches.
Therefore the security patch level of upcoming 4.4.4 & 6.0.1 ROMs is named as “Unofficial Security Backport”.
Chromium
Chromium was updated to 71.0.3578.8.
Chromium
Chromium was updated to 70.0.3538.28.

Update on “Where have you been?”
Things get a little better now, still have to sort some stuff in private life. I’ll keep the apartment and see how well it goes, maybe i need to collect empty bottles or take a second job on weekends later… But, in general i am felling better now. Let’s see what time brings to me.
I am still not really back on Android, but took some time to provide at least some Updates for our community.
Have a good weekend together!
Where have you been?
Hey together!
Some of you might ask why i’ve been silent for a while now and haven’t pushed any updates etc.. Things are complicated at the moment and i haven’t checked any of my ROM Threads on XDA last couple of weeks. I reached a point in life i’ve thought / hoped not to reach… My girlfriend quit our relationship after over 9 years together.
Could i have seen this coming? I still don’t know, she’s gone for over 3 weeks now…
Yeah, things between us haven’t been the best always, but we (maybe only me) have been working on it and i thought we’ve been on a good way - that’s what she said too some weeks ago… and being in a relationship has ups and downs, nothing can be good forever. I’ve had a lot of stress at work last couple of months, i know i wasn’t always the best listener but guess there’s nothing we couldn’t have talked about… I’m asking myself if i didn’t listened close enought or if she only wasn’t talking to me… I won’t get an answer on that.
She didn’t told a real reason to move on without me, she’s not seeing a future together and her feelings for me changed… Those words have hitten me hard and i was down like never before in life… Sure, i am not perfect and not trying to be perfect, but i’ve done a lot for her and often forgot about myself while taking care of her…
She had a job in a different city for a few years, we’ve only met on weekends, within less than 2 days she had to meet me, friends and family every weekend. It was a hard time and in the end she was crying a lot. It was a hard time for both of us, i was always there for her. She came back to our city and had a shitty job… hard work, lot of working hours and many days without a break. She was crying again often, i’ve been there for her always. We had big trust in each other, something many people don’t understand and i’ve been really proud about. Both of us could meet friends alone, at every time, at every place. Yeah, she was watching some series with her best friend every second week. Both of us could be who we are, no need to wear a mask… Well, guess i sometimes weared a mask because there have been some days i liked to have her on my side, but she could do what she felt to do - always tried to make her happy even if it doesn’t make me happy.
Now she got a new job, a job she really likes. It’s no an easy job, early neurological rehabilitation. I know it’s harder than she likes to say and she haven’t talked to me.
Guess it’s we haven’t talked enough in general which made the difference at the end. No special reason… There’s no chance if you don’t talk in a relationship…
I really thought she’s the women i’ll marry at some time, thought she’ll be the mother of my kids in some years… Hard to realize i was living in a dream world.
If this isn’t enought, i’ve not only lost a great person in my life, i’ll also loose my home as i can’t pay the monthly bills alone for a long time… a few months only.
Last but not least: our friends have been more or less her friends… First weekend after she was gone i liked to go out for a beer, checked my WhatsApp and noticed there’s no one not connected to her i could ask… You don’t like to know that feeling, felt really destroying… And i was on a good way to destroy myself because it felt, and still sometimes feels, like the whole world is against me. I’ve been sitting at home and watching a white wall for hours.
I’ve had luck my trainees and some others at work had a ear for me and my problems. We’ve spend some time after work together which helped me to look forward a little bit.
I am off from work this week, i’ve a lot of time and it doesn’t always feels well to have that many time to make a head about stuff. Computer and Android doesn’t help against the feelings, so i’ll keep my PC off as much as possible.
I’ll be 30 this week, not seeing anything to celebrate… But guess i’ll invite the handfull of people who have been behind me the last weeks for a dinner. Don’t like to call it a party, not sure if it’ll be a party…
As things aren’t complicated enough, i’ve met an interesting girl and hope to not have met her the wrong time… Not sure how she’s feeling or what she’s thinking, but we had some really nice days together. Guess we haven’t seen us the last time yesterday evening. I like her, and i guess i’ve found at least a good new friend.
I’ve still to talk with my Ex about everything we bought together for our apartment… Thinking about how to manage the apartment next months etc… So if you don’t hear anything from me: don’t be scared.

Hey together! Some of you might have read already on XDA that i am staying away from Android for some time (not sure yet if i continue later). Private life is complicated at the moment… Lot’s of work in my Job (and looks like it’s not getting better soon…), my gf needs to quit her job (so we’ll only have one income for some time to pay our bills), relationship between me and my gf had better times in the past too…
Well, no need to go more in detail, but I’ve pushed some last Updates for suppported Roms and Devices as a christmas present for you! I wish you all merry Christmas and a Happy new year!

More Updates
Not much updates last 2 Weeks? Right, but we are always busy behind the scenes and real life eats some time too. Most of you know already that the AOSP Browser is really outdated and has a bunch of security holes. Following Roms will have the OpenSource Lightning Browser added by default instead in future builds:
More Security
I’ll switch to “user” builds instead “userdebug” builds on all 4.4 and 6.0 Roms. The builds are slight smaller - no need to compile extra debug files. On “user” builds there’s no “adb root” which makes the build safer as before. It could be there’s e.g. some SELinux denials only show up on “user” builds - if you have any issues please provide a logcat and dmesg. Unsure how to get proper logs? No Problem! The FAQ can be found here
I’ll update all 4.4 and 6.0 builds until friday, enjoy!

OmniROM 4
Fixed builds for Galaxy Tab2 are available. On previous build our OpenSource sensor somehow haven’t been included which causes some issues.
SlimKat
Fixed SlimKat builds for Galaxy Tab2 will be available soon too (same problem like on Omni4).
General
Somehow i’ve got my first frontpage post on www.xda-developers.com, never thought i’ll be there proud.
There’s not much to say at the moment, i am missing time for anything and everything - i hope it’ll get better soon. Have a nice week together!
OmniROM 6
I found some time to update OmniROM 6. Applied updates for 2017-08-01 security patch level. The Update will be available for following devices:

Galaxy Tab2
Note that i am not using any Android 7 Roms myself on Galaxy Tab2. You can report bugs in the proper threads and maybe i look into it (maybe i don’t - but hey, everything is OpenSource!).
OmniRom
First unified OmniRom 7.x build is up for Galaxy Nexus! Using old bootanimation because the new one is in stop-and-go mode, hope to solve the issue soon.
TWRP for Tuna - hardware encryption/decryption
Since Android 6 we ship hardware encryption on Galaxy Nexus. Currently official TWRP is not able to decrypt hardware encrypted tuna devices. Ziyan started working on fixing it some time ago, but he is missing the time at the moment. nailyk , yen and i are working on finishing what Ziyan started to get decryption support added to official TWRP in future.
I have published working TWRP for maguro, toro and toroplus here - please use them until we have support for hardware decryption on official TWRP.
Galaxy Tab2
Thanks to some trolls on XDA i am not publishing any new Galaxy Tab2 Roms or Recoveries! I have said it thousand times before - stuff will be released if i feel it is ready and no one can force me to publish any N Roms! I am not your personal build bot!
Maybe i’ll publish something in the future - can’t say yet. I am sorry for those who always followed the rules - but we reached a state i don’t like to continue…
What else to say? Have a nice weekend!
UPDATE
Reuploaded Omni 4.4 build for tuna.
Also added device specific builds (device source matches official Omni trees, unified stuff can’t be pushed because there’s one commit missing in TWRP source on 4.4 to support it.)
OmniRom 6 should be ready next days.

First unified OmniRom 4.4 build is up for Galaxy Nexus! I’ll start looking again at OmniRom 6.0 next days.

OmniRom 4
OmniRom 4 updated! I have spend another whole day (>12 hours) to bring it up to 2017-07-01 security patch level. The Update will be available for Galaxy Tab2 (espressowifi & espresso3g).
There’s some extras added by default now which never made it’s way into Omni 4 official:
Those features have never been ready for official Omni, but people spend a lot of time writing those features and i really like those.
Enjoy the build! (It will be online in the morning.)

Discontinued
IMO Android 5 was never a good running version for my devices and i’ll stop all work on Android 5. I like to spend my little time on improving Android 4.4.4 and Android 6.0.1 based roms (also applying security Updates monthly).
Discontinued Roms:
Discontinued devices:
Sorry, but at the moment i don’t have the time to work on this devices.
Future plans
smart-t78@XDA-Developers and i started working on updating OmniRom 6 again (working our way up to July 2017 Security Patch Level. Maybe later we’ll look again at OmniRom 4. OmniRom is one of my favourite - i’ll post an update once there’s some news.

General
After 6 Weeks i got my LG G4 back again… now waiting for the bootloop again (i am sure it will happen a 3rd time)… on vacation i never felt that bad using a phone like this time, running a backup of my photos every evening because i don’t feel secure using that phone…
I pushed some new AnyKernel for Galaxy Nexus and Tab2 Family which fix/workaround an security issue of LineageOS SU binary, besides that i am still not back to development.
Slim7
New Slim7 builds are up for Galaxy Nexus, had to test if latest translations compile fine - no device specific changes, only latest Slim7 Source + Translations.
LineageOS 13
Flashing official LineageOS 13 addonsu causes error4 in recovery. It’s a known issue, but LineageOS hasn’t updated the addonsu yet. Selfcompiled addonsu was added to Tab2 LineageOS page.
Hey together!
Some of you might know already about the problems i currently have with my LG G4. My LG G4 was my daylie driver and i really need it because i am doing most stuff on my Phone.
Just as an information for you, why i am not having much time for android at the moment - i am wasting time:
Looks like i have to wait for my G4 a little longer but i can’t…. i need a good phone as my dd and really need a good smartphone camera because i use it often…
All my work on android is discontinued until my G4 is back or until i bought a new phone.

Reuploaded all Slim6 & SlimKat builds to fix - CVE-2016-10244.

General
Hey together! There have been some silent from my side, i spend a lot of time looking into android 7 for tab2 and tuna with success. It took some days until i got one major bug fixed: the device rebooted once it connected to wifi.
I am forced now to take a break from android to look for a payed part time job to buy a new device which fits my needs.
I currently own a LG G4 which is affected by the well known bootloop problem… It got repaired in February already, but after 2 weeks of use the issue was back and I lost all my personal data a second time. The G4 is still in the repair center, since 3 weeks… Researching makes sure: the issue will never be fixed properly by LG and I will loose all my data again, sooner or later, once the device is back… Sad about it: the shop where i bought the G4 won’t refund… they can’t even tell me how long it takes to repair the device…
Absolutely no go and never ever LG again!
