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!

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:

  • LineageOS 14

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!

Official changes until 5f177ae from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-9.0 branch).

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.

  • Good to know
    • Needed patch files are attached if you like to compile your own kernel.
    • I’ve kept authorship on all commits, also i’ve kept Authorship and notes inside Voltage Control code.
    • Seperate available: applied undervolting on default frequencies
  • Limitations
    • Limit maximum CPU frequency @ 1.35GHz , GPU @ 384 Mhz
    • It’s compatible with my ROMs compiled since March 2019 (Should work on my Slim6 + 7, Omni 6 + 7 and LineageOS 13 + 14.1 compiled after 01.03.2019. Special KitKat Kernel available which should work on my SlimKat, Omni 4 and LineageOS 11 compiled after 01.03.2019).
  • NOTE
    • Don’t use it on older ROMs as mentioned!
    • Don’t use on ROMs i haven’t compiled!
  • More Information and Download links can be found here and here.

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.

03 March 2019


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.

15 October 2018


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”.

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!

21 August 2018


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.

Thanks to LineageOS Team for latest Android Security Bulletin backports (Updates for February 2018 security patch level).

All Roms for Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab2 now always include the default libion! Please don’t flash old kernel on top of these ROMs - breaks at least Camera and DOMX!

Because of our tiny system-partition i had to remove Chromium from the builds. Lightning is used again as an replacement, but i’d suggest to install a browser like Chrome, Chromium or Firefox for daylie use read here.

I am currently Updating Chromium weekly - enjoy!

31 January 2018


Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy Nexus

All supported Roms updated. Latest builds use the default libion instead the old TI libion. Please don’t flash any custom kernel on top of those builds - old kernel won’t work on these Roms!

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:

  • SlimKat
  • Slim6
  • OmniROM 4
  • OmniROM 6 (Lightning replaces outdated Chromium version here)

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!

21 October 2017


More Updates because of KRACK Vulnerability

Yesterday Slim6 and AOSP/Unlegacy-Android 6.0.1 ROMs got updated already. The following ROMs will get an Update too this weekend:

  • SlimKat (Galaxy Tab2, Galaxy S3 mini)
  • OmniROM 4 (Galaxy Tab2, Galaxy Nexus)
  • OmniROM 6 (Galaxy Tab2, Galaxy Nexus)

LineageOS merged needed changes for LineageOS 13 this morning too which means next official Weekly builds will have the fix included.

20 October 2017

SlimKat

SlimKat 9.12 builds are available since about 1 Week (Galaxy Tab2 and Samsung S3 mini) and besides the monthly security bulletin (2017-10-01 security patch level) I also took some time to improve security a little bit more:

  • ADB disabled by default on unoffcial builds
  • Developer Options disabled by default on unoffcial builds
  • removed AOSP Browser (it’s not safe to use it anymore, install a up-to-date browser like Chrome from PlayStore)
  • removed SuperUser implementation (you can use e.g. SuperSU, v1.80 works fine for me but newer versions might work too. NOTE: since it’s a “userdebug” build “adb root” will still work without installing a 3rd party root implementation)

Welcome a new extra:

  • MicroG / Fake Signature implementation added, can be enabled from developer options

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!

  • I have a private life and do all this just for fun.
  • I have a bad paied fulltime job, user or xda aren’t paying my income and instead, if you are able to read, - donations are accepted but i welcome if those donations go to an organization who cares about (kids having) cancer (or similar).

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.

OmniRom

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

Slim7

New Slim7 builds are up for Galaxy Nexus. Latest Slim7 Source + my latest AnyKernel source.

22 July 2017


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:

  • All in One Animation Control
  • Battery Saver mode
  • On-The-Go mode
  • Implement App circle sidebar
  • follow dark 4.4 UI

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.)

Updates

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:

  • SlimLP
  • AOSP / UA 5.1
  • CM12.1 / LineageOS 12.1

Discontinued devices:

  • Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (“golden”)

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.

14 May 2017


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:

  • 01.02.2017: bootloop, lost all my data. I contaced LG and they repaired it in about 1 Week.
  • 01.04.2017: again bootloop, lost all my data again. I contaced LG how it can be the issue appears again. They told me they are sorry and i should talk to the shop where i bought the device in hope they replace it or refound me. I went to the shop and the owner told me that he needs to talk to LG again, he’ll call me. 3 days later, no one called me back, i asked again how we can solve the problem. The shop owner told me LG said they need to send it to a repair center again.
  • 04.04.2017: shop takes the phone and send it to the repair center. I told him i need it back in 2 Weeks. He said i can’t tell him a time he has to repair it - i am by law (§ 439 BGB), but i don’t have too (i would be stupid if i don’t). He don’t like to accept it, i had to send him an email once i am home saying the same again i told him already in the shop.
  • 18.04.2017 & 22.04.2017: asking the shop again - still in the repair center.
  • 26.04.2017: i visited the shop again - it is still in the repair center! (WTF?!) He’ll contact LG and call me back - he never did.
  • 29.04.2017 & 02.05.2017: Asking about the status via email or if we can find a different solution (different phone?) - until today no answer.
  • 03.05.2017: I send him a letter saying he has to repair it until today (10. May), else he should give back the money.
  • 06.05.2017: You guys know, i am a friendly guy, i called him again asking if he’s interested in finding a solution both of us can live with. I left a bad review on Facebook and on Google for his shop, he said he don’t like to talk to me because of that.. i told him i’ll update it if we find a proper solution. We talked a littlebit about what went wrong etc. and he finally decided to talk to LG and the repaircenter again. He’ll call me back on Monady (8. May).
  • 08.05.2017: The shop called me (i never thought he did, but he did), the repair center is waiting for new mainboards and he asked me if i can give him some more time… i am a friendly guy, i said ok because i really liked the phone and would love to get it back.
  • In the meantime i talked to LG many times, they said they can’t do anything, my G4 wasn’t send to the LG repair center it must be in a different repair center (WTF?!).
  • 09.05.2017: I asked LG again if they can try to speed things up in the repair center, my G4 is there for almost 5 Weeks now. They said they need to know the repair center.
  • 10.05.2017: i visit the shop again, asking for the repair center. He don’t like to tell the repair center…

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.

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!

Galaxy Tab2

CyanogenMod is discontinued, i guess all of you noticed the rebranding to LineageOS (at the end user should only notice the name change).

  • Fixed a bunch of security issues on our Kernel

25 September 2016


Galaxy Tab2

Kernel Update

  • We re-enabled MMC_CAP_ERASE on our kernel source because of following reasons:
    • “moviNAND VHX 4.41 DISCARD feature” is (and always was) added to our kernel which should prevent MAG2GA eMMC (used on most 16GB Tab2 devices) from damage (official Samsung patch)
    • even with MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled some Tab2 with MAG2GA eMMC got read only (the reason is an issue in the eMMC firmware - besides MAG2GA eMMC is faulty/bad by default)
    • without TRIM emmc lifetime is shorter, it’s now possible again on supported eMMC
  • Updated P51XX Touch Firmware

What Roms include those changes?

  • all builds and recoveries since 24.09.2016

NOTE: You might need to use TWRP 3.0.2-6 (uploaded already) to flash the new roms, on Android 4 and 6 old recoveries might work (but better update too).

20 September 2016


Galaxy Tab2

espresso-common TWRP 3.0.2-5

  • Official changes until 99af766 head from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-7.0 branch)
  • Support eMMC 4.5. In the past our “new” kernel did not support eMMC 4.5 (some people seem to have newer EMMC). On TWRP it wasn’t possible to wipe or flash any files on devices with newer EMMC.

CM 13 update for espressowifi and espresso3g

  • Support eMMC 4.5. In the past our “new” kernel did not support eMMC 4.5 (some people seem to have newer EMMC) - that’s why some people haven’t been able to boot latest builds and got a black screen only.

18 September 2016


Galaxy Tab2

CM 11 update for espressowifi and espresso3g (no device specific builds)

  • Fixed slow bootanimation
  • Fixed GPS

06 September 2016


espresso-common TWRP 3.0.2-4

  • Official changes until 724c514 head from OmniRoms TWRP source (android-7.0 branch)

24 August 2016


Galaxy Tab2

Notes about latest official CM11 nightly update

  • Clean flash might be required because of the following changes:
    • a lot of device specific updates (e.g. a lot of OpenSource blobs we already use on Android 5.1 and newer)
    • kernel source got replaced with our omap based OpenSource kernel (full change history, a lot debloated)
  • There might be a tiny delay between the Samsung logo and the bootanimation. This happens because we disabled the bootloader init (The bootloader init was disabled and the kernel resets everything on boot which is a good thing but delays bootup). Also your Tab 2 variant get detected by the kernel automatically (read out from bootloader).
  • If you have issues to boot your tab after a clean flash, you might need to update your bootloader. I’ll provide the files and a tutorial sometimes later this week (maybe next week).

14 August 2016


espressowifi / espresso3g:

New espresso-common TWRP 3.0.2-3

  • Latest TWRP 3 Source

golden (GT-I8190):

New TWRP 3.0.2-1

  • Latest TWRP 3 Source
  • Added “length” on data to keep space for crypto footer. Encryption should work fine now TWRP side (If you have still trouble: it might need some changes on the kernel which comes with your rom).

13 August 2016


espressowifi / espresso3g:

New unified SlimKat build

  • Security updates until 01.08.2016 Android security patch level

12 August 2016

Multi-Rom Updates for espressowifi and espresso3g

  • Slim6 alpha 0.4
  • SlimLP

    What changed?

    • latest Rom sources

    • Enable dexpreopt with PIC
      (Our system partitions are relatively large (~1 GB), but our data partitions are relatively small (~4.6 GB on 8 GB variants).
      In this case, it makes sense to enable WITH_DEXPREOPT_PIC, saving at least 100 MB space on our data partitions.)

Note: Omni6 is official now! You can use official nightly builds now!

01 July 2016


Initial Slim6 builds for espressowifi and espresso3g

  • No “All Apps” button by default. Create a Widget -> SlimLauncher -> choose “All Apps” to solve it

25 June 2016


Initial OmniRom 6.0.1 builds for espressowifi and espresso3g available

  • Latest official OmniRom source. Device specific changes are all visisble in OmniRoms device repos.
  • Currently sensor position isn’t set properly on P31xx devices, but it will be fixed on upcoming builds.
    A temporary fix can be found here, you simply need to flash it after the Rom from TWRP.
  • Please note that OmniRom isn’t pre-rooted!
  • Chromecast should still work on Omni 6.

08 June 2016


New CM 13.0 builds for espressowifi and espresso3g available

  • Latest CM 13.0 source
  • Attempt to fix hotspot
  • Ziyan fixed the random mac adress:
    The Samsung BCMDHD used to read the factory MAC address from /efs. Accessing the filesystem in-kernel is a very bad practice, but what can we expect from Samsung?
    We now calculate the MAC address based on the SoC Die ID: this is unique for all devices, and ensures that the same device will always have the same MAC address, not a randomly generated one.

17 May 2016


Some updates on http://andi34.github.io

  • Add Rom & Recovery Thread links to the rom pages
  • Add Rom logos
  • Add CWM and PhilZ Touch links for historical reason

16 May 2016


New CM 13.0 builds for espressowifi and espresso3g available

  • Latest CM 13.0 source
  • Clean flash recommand because we switched to our new kernel for a final public test before it finally replaces our old, bloated kernel.
  • NOTE: Booting takes some more time now - there’s a delay for up to 10 sec. betweeen the samsung logo and bootanimation (The bootloader init was disabled and the kernel resets everything on boot which is a good thing but delays bootup.)
  • Many thanks to XDA’s Ziyan for the new kernel! He did the main part of it! (We worked together on it for almost 9 months now - where is the time?!)
  • Kernel source will be available on CM’s github after this public test to be sure everything works as it should - please respect that the source won’t be public before
  • Found a bug? Attach a logcat and dmesg on XDA.

14 May 2016


espresso-common TWRP 3.0.2-1

  • Official changes until 72c87ce head from OmniRoms TWRP source
  • New kernel with last_kmsg support.
    NOTE: Booting TWRP takes some more time now. The bootloader init was disabled and the kernel resets everything on boot which is a good thing but delays bootup.

11 April 2016


New SlimKat for Samsung S3 mini (GT-I8190) uploaded.
Includes a bunch of CVE fixes. Enjoy!

05 April 2016


Updated TWRP for Samsung Galaxy Tab2 to v3.0.2-0 (Common TWRP).
Fixes encryption/decryption and some small other updates.

03 April 2016


  • New CM 13 builds for espressowifi and espresso3g uploaded, no device specific changes, only CyanogenMod upstream.
    For changes please check CyanogenMods Gerrit

  • New SlimLP for S3 mini (i8190) uploaded, based on latest official Source, Global Menu added on top of it.
    Videorecording still half broken, only works if you don’t record Audio (you can use OpenCamera in that case).

  • Added my work on S3 mini (i8190) on this page too.

02 April 2016


Reworked my github userpage, special thanks to Ziyan!

Added Known bugs section (much more needs to be added, feel free to help)

28 March 2016


Uploaded espresso-common TWRP 3.0.0-2 (updated recovery-kernel for proper last_kmsg support - makes debugging kernel issues much easier).

I also uploaded some new kernel for latest CM 13 espressowifi and espresso3g builds - please test if you have time! More information about it here on XDA.

24 March 2016


CM 12.1 & Omni 5.1 builds and common TWRP are reuploaded (I missed to add a kernel change). Previous 23.03. builds have been removed so you can’t download the wrong files anymore.

23 March 2016


CM 12.1 & Omni 5.1 builds and common TWRP will be reuploaded (I missed to add a kernel change). Current 23.03. builds have been removed. Fixed 23.03. builds and a fixed Common TWRP will be available soon (uploading already).

New CM 13 builds available.

Missed to add “espresso: fade off by default: This fixes orientation glitch on screen-off animation for 7 inch Tab2” - will be fixed on next build.

  • libsensors: fix possible null pointer crash
  • espresso: set hwrotation on init for 7 inch Tab2 variants
  • some updates on kernel commonisation (might fix charging on P5113).

Those Tab2 user who are on “espresso-TWRP” please flash the latest device specific TWRP for your device or use the new Common TWRP to flash latest Roms.

  • the “espresso-TWRP” won’t be able to flash Roms compiled after 22.03.2016,
  • the new “Common TWRP” won’t be able to flash Roms compiled before 22.03.2017. I am sorry if it confuses some of you, but as i mentioned on 22.03.2016 we would conflict with HTC’s “espresso” device if we don’t do the renaming.

CM 12.1 & Omni 5.1 builds have been updated:

  • libsensors: fix possible null pointer crash
  • espresso: fade off by default: This fixes orientation glitch on screen-off animation for 7 inch Tab2.
  • espresso: set hwrotation on init for 7 inch Tab2 variants

22 March 2016


To avoid conflicts with with HTC’s myTouch 3G Slide T-Mobile (“espresso”) all upcoming unified builds for GT-P3110, GT-P3113, GT-P5110 and GT-P5113 will be called “espressowifi” instead “espresso”.
