[Q] WebViewGoogle Module & CM12 - Xposed General

The lasted module to appear on the repository, WebViewGoogle (http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.typeblog.webview) claims it makes apps use the play store listed android system webview instead of the stock aosp webview.
What I want to know is that this module is necessary in CM12 (official nightlies), since CM seems to be fast to fix this kinds of kinks, and if wouldn't I achieve the same result freezing the aosp webview
Thanks!

Last question i did not try so have no clue. But for the first - nightlies recently changed to v39 (at least latest temasek rom has that), but play store updated from v40 to v42 yesterday. That is definitely faster. How relevant it is to you may be a different question. But it definitely is a bonus especially if you do not update you rom every day.
Edit: I think CM12 still has v37 or v38 and CM12.1 is v39.

CM12 has no "built in" Google Apps, so they will never do it.

Non-neon Gapps (Android 4.2) dev-discussion thread

Yes, this is a discussion thread, but you are not allowed to make "meaningless" posts in here.
If you have made some discoveries post it, but no one in here is interested in "thank you" posts or similiar.
Okay, let's try to get the Android 4.2 gapps working as good as possible on our phone.
As you know Google dropped support of non-neon phones and tablets with Android 4.2.
Our Tegra2 SoC doesn't support these neon instructions, which results in a couple problems with the default gapps package.
We need to replace a couple files with older ones to get everything back working.
Update 27.04: I finally found some time to work on gapps and provide a (hopefully) fully working non-neon gapps package in the second post now!
One example: the biggest annoyance is probably the dying keyboard.
This happens because the gapps package replaces the libjni_latinime.so file included in the ROMs with a proprietary one by Google to enable Gesture input.
Unfortunately it does need neon, so you should remove the file inside the gapps package (/system/lib/) before flashing it.
In the logcat you'll usually see a SIGILL error, like this one:
Code:
A/libc(3910): Fatal signal 4 (SIGILL) at 0x4f6233a6 (code=1), thread 3910 (putmethod.latin)
I/DEBUG(92): signal 4 (SIGILL), code 1 (ILL_ILLOPC), fault addr 4f6233a6
I'm starting this thread to colloborate together on a gapps package with as much stuff working as possible, so if you do have any insights please share them
You can download the CM10 gapps package and get the nonneon files (they're in /optional/nonneon) - but not all of them are still working with Android 4.2.
P.S.: For the love of God, don't call them fapps - fapps is a foss (free and open source) package which uses OpenStreetMaps instead of GMaps and so on.
We still want gapps, just without neon libs.
Okay, here's my non-neon fixed gapps package.
Important: If you already flashed another gapps package do format /system, reflash your ROM then reflash these gapps.
If you don't do that you'll have leftovers from the former package, which results e.g. in a dying keyboard.
Changes compared to the official package:
Fixed the aosp keyboard crashes
Fixed Google Talk videochat crashing
Fixed Faceunlock
Fixed Google TTS
Fixed Google Now & Voice Search crashes on non neon devices & restored hot-word detection
Fixed Talkback
Removed unuseful stuff
Notes:
Swipe keyboard won't work - nothing I can do about that.
Complain to Google for dropping non-neon support
Same thing goes to Photoshpere - no neon: no love.
Don't try to update Google Now - the new version doesn't properly work without neon (not sure if this still applies?)
Download:
http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/non-neon-gapps
If you're interested in more details what parts I changed - here you go.
This will hopefully ensure that future gapps versions will get provided as well
to fix facelock: replace libfacelock_jni.so with non-neon lib (credits: Adam77Root)
to fix the keyboard closing: remove libjni_latinime.so
to fix google videochat: added libvideochat_stabilize.so, replaced libgtalk_jni.so with non-neon lib and removed libgtalk_stabilize.so
to fix TTS: replaced libpatts_engine_jni_api.so with a non-neon lib and GoogleTTS.apk with the apk from the teameos gapps package.
to fix Google Now and Voice Search I replaced the QuickSearchBox.apk with this one by Steady Hawkin.
Note that the newest Google Now version isn't compatible with non neon devices anymore, thus this version disables the auto-update.
replaced Talkback.apk with a working version from the eos gapps package.
Partial credits for steps 1-4 go to bubor who already started with a non-neon gapps package.
Then I reflected these changes in the 70-gapps.sh backup script.
That's important because otherwise updating the ROM will break the gapps!
Why? Updating the ROM does wipe /system - only the files which are in the script will retain.
This means that e.g. the libvideochat_stabilize.so will poof away and the libjni_latinime.so won't get updates anymore.
Additionally I removed the g.prop file in /system/etc to prevent the GooManager from trying to update the gapps package if new (neon) updates come.
To reduce the package size I completely removed the photosphere stuff.
Just a thought here: since our cpu does not support neon instruction set, wouldn't it be an option to patch the P990's kernel with an neon-emulator? This way, the neon instructions will be translated into something the cpu can process. Corrrect me if I'm wrong.
I'm saying this because I've seen something similar happen on Mac OS X, where version 10.8.x requires a cpu capable of SSSE3 (not SSE3) instructions. They have patched the kernel with an SSSE3 emulator so that it works on older hardware and AMD cpus.

I'm thinking about the exact opposite - try to disassemble the libs, replace the neon instructions and reassemble. Not sure yet how much work it would take though...

this will be an horrendous work. I've seen some projects trying to hack armv6 instructions into the newer armv7 packages - it's really hard as you have to do it in smali as Google won't release it's sources.
I'm extremely full with loads of projects currently - I'm still hoping some people will take this over and try to build a nicely working non neon gapps version. this only requires trial and error, no real technical knowledge. but the interest seems low

Developer or not... But since you said yourself that "this will be an horrendous work", allow me include a little something here.
Changelog:
* All apps updated to 4.2.2 versions
* Google Play Store updated to 3.10.14
* Google Play Services updated to 3.0.25
* Gmail2.apk (Gmail) and GoogleEars.apk (Sound Search for Google Play) removed since they are available in the Google Play Store
** May require uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail and Sound Search after flashing.
* Keeps previous version's Photosphere/Picasa sync install on Mako, Manta, and Tuna.

From the way I see it, this horrendos work wouldn't really pay off since the earlier version of Gapps has... well... more or less everything the so-called new version has. So why bother if I may ask?
Back to you sir
Soooo, I have been looking into this for the past few days. I think I have got an understand of this that is good enough to make this work.
Since you are working so hard on CM10.1, I'll be willing to put great effort into this. Already started out with some basics, but I am pretty confident that I can make it work by the end of this week.
Will do some proper testing when it has been finished, once everything has been worked out, I'll push it public so you all can have the joy of using it in whatever way you may please

Any news on your project?
Well, I'm a little disappointed that no one else worked on this - it's basically using Google and trial and error.
Thanks goes to massimo who has offered me some help and did some tests
Anyways, I decided to take matters into my own hands now, as I want to release CM10.1 over the weekend and don't want people to complain because they flashed the wrong gapps packages.
@natalya: If there's anything else you discovered which isn't working please provide it, but as you didn't post what you did in almost 2 weeks now I didn't want to wait anymore.
Changes compared to the official package:
Fixed the aosp keyboard crashes

Let me explain the steps taken so others can learn what has been done and can update gapps theirselves.
to fix facelock: I replace libfacelock_jni.so with non-neon lib (credits: Adam77Root)
to fix the keyboard closing: I removed libjni_latinime.so
(note: this diables the keyboard swiping - it will never fully work on non-neon devices!)
to fix google videochat: added libvideochat_stabilize.so, replaced libgtalk_jni.so with non-neon lib and removed libgtalk_stabilize.so
to (partially) fix TTS: replaced libpatts_engine_jni_api.so with a non-neon lib
to fix Google Now and Voice Search I replaced the QuickSearchBox.apk and added the libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so lib from this one by Steady Hawkin.
Note that the newest Google Now version isn't compatible with non neon devices anymore, so this one disables the auto-update
replaced Talkback.apk with a working version from the above gapps package[/url].
Note the English TTS not working, see below.
Partial credits for steps 1-4 go to bubor who already started with a non-neon gapps package.

As for the swipe keyboard this feature requires neon-support and will not work properly on our phone, no matter what.
Known bugs:
Google text to speech doesn't seem to work in English. fixed

If you already flashed another gapps package do format /system, reflash your ROM then reflash these gapps.
This is needed to ensure nothing remains broken from former flashes.
Please give some feedback for this gapps package.
If something doesn't work don't forget to attach a logcat
Okay, I managed to fix the Google-text-to-speech engine as well by replacing the GoogleTTS.apk with the one from the teameos gapps package.
I pushed the new version online and removed the old one.
All bugs I am aware of are now fixed, if you notice anything else that isn't working please give feedback
Time to clean up the OP.

You can update it and you can use it.
Sadly it has huge lags (as in it freezes from time to time and the waiting times can be taking forever sometimes)
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
For those who want to use the aosp-keyboard, Google recently released Google-keyboard (witch is similar to the aosp, but fully non-neon compatible)
In the US it should be available through the play store, for the others http://dl.androidnext.de/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin.apk
our 2x learns gesture typing
Thread cleaned up.
This is the dev discussion subforum so it's not the right place to ask about specific ROMs.
If you'll find out something new for the non-neon gapps package then you can post in here, everything else goes into the other sections.
Thank you!
P.S.: I've tried extracted the new lib (libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so) from the Google keyboard - it's not compatible to the AOSP one included in ROMs.
If you want to include it into the gapps package you need to rename the apk to LatinIME.apk and add the lib, then it'll overwrite the AOSP keyboard.
(I'm too lazy to update the gapps package in here for a keyboard you can simply install).
I created a non-neon gapps package with the keyboard included.
It will replace the AOSP keyboard by the very similar google keyboard (that fixes gesture typing). Everything else is like tonyps-non-neon-gapps.

All credits to Google, tonyp and the others mentiont in the first post.
Have fun!
P.S. @tonyp if you want you can put it on the gooserver to the other gapps.
Latest Google Now (26/06/2013) seems to work just fine. I'm not getting those crazy UI lags I got before, if I updated Google Now from the play store

Ah good that you're reviving this thread, I've been meaning to update it with some information.
I never intended to maintain a gapps package and won't do so.
So if someone wants to follow my instructions and offer updated neon-compatible packages for 4.3 and 4.4 go ahead.
The instructions should still apply, but things may have changed a little in the newer versions so they might needs some adaption (e.g. the Talk to Hangouts transition).
Personally I include a mini/tiny gapps neon compatible package in all my ROMs which only contains the most important apps.
I've created the package quite some time ago, it is fully open sourced and can (and already is) used by everyone.
https://github.com/tonyp/android_vendor_google
I update the repo on my own accord, if someone needs a faster update pull requests are always welcome.
But gapps are capable of updating theirselves via the play store, so this usually isn't needed anyways.
I would prefer if others are using my repo and sent pull requests instead of forking and forgetting about the origin, but that's of course your choice.
To include the gapps into your own build you have to add the repo to your manifest and add the following lines to a makefile.
(it doesn't matter which one as long as it's called - an obvious choice would be somewhere in the device tree):
Code:
MINI_GAPPS := true
$(call inherit-product, vendor/google/tiny_gapps_nonneon_tonyp.mk)
P.S.: @DJNoXD This isn't directed at you, I know you're already using my gapps repo in your roms, just a headsup for other potential devs.

Hi @tonyp, I hope it's ok to revive this thread again resp. to hijack it a bit from your original intention!? Even if the origin of my following NEON related questions is founded in my lag problems with CM11 2014/11/13 build by @gucky01

I find they fit this thread much better than any other CM10.x/CM11/CM12 ROM XDA thread. Not just one but all of those ROMs are affected by the missing NEON instruction set of the Tegra 2 SOC.
How can one prove wether a current ROM does not call any NEON instructions? Is it sufficient to see that there are no SIGILL entries in the logs?
Let's assume a dev releases a ROM that initially does not call any NEON instructions. Is it possible that updates of Google apps introduce calls of NEON instructions making the ROM misfunctional/unusable?
AFAI understood your trick to assemble non-NEON gapps is to replace shared opjects ( .so files) that call NEON instructions by their (more or less) equivalent non-NEON shared objects. Could there be Google apps or third party apps that call NEON instructions in their core binary?
If so, our P990 will not able to run them, right? I'd like to assemble a list of apps that won't run without NEON support (is there still any list?).
Do calls of NEON instructions on systems that don't support NEON always result in FCs, hot re-boots, or BSODs? Other way round: can calls of NEON instructions on systems that don't support NEON also result in lag or even heavy lag? (gmail 5.0.1 uses to take 10 seconds to start in my recently installed CM11 after the cleanest install possible; I just left the BB and system data/cal un-touched).
I am looking forward for your reply, well-knowing that you don't use the P990 as your daily driver any more for a long time now.
I wish you all a good 2015!

[EXPERIMENTAL] [UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for arm64 devices | 5.1 and 5.0 versions available

arm64 is now officially supported: See here
Old OP
Hello Everyone,
I have successfully compiled Xposed for android 5.1.x for arm64 devices.
I have so far tested this on my Nexus 9 running a custom CyanogenMod based Android 5.1 ROM with SELinux disabled (It may work on ROM's with SELinux enabled but testing has to be conducted.).
Install zip is attached to this post. (The SDK 22 one) This will only install Xposed framework for Android 5.1 for arm64 devices. Please see the original Lollipop post to get the other files you need. (Hint: you only need the Xposed APK from that post.)
I compiled this based off of @romracer's source code for Xposed on Android 5.1.x.
So far I have tested the module Lolistat, It seems to be working well.
Please be patient during boot, let your device boot 10 minutes before reporting that it is "bootlooping"
====================
For Android 5.0.x
I have also compiled Xposed for Android 5.0.x for arm64 devices. I have had mixed results from testers so far. The install zip is also attached to this OP (The SDK 21 one). Many HTC M9 users have reported this caused a boot-loop for them. This will only install Xposed framework for Android 5.0.x for arm64 devices. Please see the original Lollipop post to get the other files you need. (Hint: you only need the Xposed APK from that post.)
Remember to always backup all data before using. Use at your own risk.
Please note: There will most likely be arm64 related bugs with both of these. See this post for more information.
Please be patient during boot, let your device boot for 10 minutes before reporting that it is "bootlooping"
just in case...
I got a new m9 in the box, thinking about waiting to activate it since xposed wouldn't work on it yet.

Well, if you're willing to test and support it, you can post unofficial files for testing...
I have a Nexus 9 with Android 5.0 myself and it's running fairly well. I haven't used any complex modules though.
Be aware that 64-bit ROMs need different handling in a couple of places and break some expectations. For example, initZygote() will be executed twice, as there are two app_processXX processes now. Modules might not expect this. I also didn't succeed to enforce a certain startup order of the processes (app_process64 before app_process32) yet, so results might be a bit random. There are probably more differences like this and it's generally more complex than on 32-bit ROMs. That's why I have only posted files for ARM so far. On the other hand, if you're willing to look into issues that come up (e.g. installation problems, crashes, things that are not working) and do some pre-analysis, that's fine and could bring the project forward. If nothing to major comes up, I can then also include official files with the next version. Additional support would be very welcome anyway.

Ohhh didn't even think about that. Would make sense
Thanks for taking this on, joshuabg. I couldn't believe it when I saw this thread. I thought that 5.1 jumped the arm64 shark and we'd never see xposed for N9.
Anyway, I flashed on AICP 4/6 with FireIce K8.3, SELinux disabled and it booted just fine. Tried the following modules, and I see what rovo meant in his post above. It's really hit or miss with the modules just like the [SUPER ALPHA] xposed for 32 bit arm devices. Thanks again for rolling this out to test.
YouTube Adaway - seemed to work, jumped to dozens of random videos and no ads
Minmin Guard - app opened and seemed to operate normally but I think it may have blocked ads across the board without my telling it to do so. I think it also caused an XDA Free force close on opening that wouldn't go away
Swype Tweaks - caused Swype to FC anytime the keyboard should have launched
Yup my bad. Gravitybox says right in the description it'll cause a boot loop on 5.1. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks!

I think it is personal preference tbh, however I prefer SlimLP since I have messed around with custom ROMs for a while and currently run SlimLP on my phone as well. Also I like the customization that comes with SlimLP more than the plainness of ordinary CM.
The SlimLP rom developers don't recommend using xposed due to some ART optimizations. If anyone really wants xposed someone did suggest trying wanams modified xposed version.

I've got xposed on the cm 12.1 rom. Haven't tried yet on SlimLP though.
If you do try it on SlimLP go for wanams xposed. And of course let us know if it you get any problems.

I successfully flashed v2.1 of SlimLP, and then I tried v75 and v78 of wanams xposed (preceded with the mandatory installation apk). Both versions led to bootloop; I was able to remove the bootloop by using the uninstallation apk.
Since I want/needed xprivacy I switched to CM12.1 but gapps has stopped working. When there's a new version of SlimLP I might try again.
EDIT: I fixed the gapps in CM12.1 (12/04 built) by (1) doing a factory reset and (2) uninstalling the Playpermissionfix module in xposed. In retrospect I probably could skip (1) and do (2) only. Play store is still slightly wonky but it mostly works, and youtube definitely works 100%.
Damn, it's really a pain that SlimLP doesn't support xposed. I want xprivacy as well.
I just had to uninstall SlimLP and go to CM12.1 because of no support for Xposed from the developers. It's upsetting that with their (or ezio's) modifications that they should want to control something so big rather than let us decide for ourselves.
Because any reasoning such as "it's too big of a security risk" is absolutely ridiculous as it's our choice rather to expose ourselves and at the same time, most people installing modules and Xposed Framework at this point should know what we are installing to by now.

The decision to decide for yourself is always in your hands. It is their rom to develop it how they want. If you do not like it, don't use it (as you have indiciated), but don't throw blame on a dev for not including support for something.

[ROM][6.0][jem] CM redux

I'd like to start this out by stating that these are personal builds. I'm not trying to compete with @transi1's developer prowess; on the contrary, I feel he's done a fantastic job with TWRP 3.0.0 and porting CM13 over to the kindles, and he's part of the reason why I'm motivated to do this side project. I'm releasing these for the purpose of bettering the Marshmallow experience on our aging kindles. I want to see if a different build configuration will help improve performance and reduce lag. I'm also wanting to learn my way through the nuances of ROM development, so I intend on starting small.

READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER
I don't intend to fray any circuits when I compile these builds. However, there's always a chance that something could really go wrong and inadvertently damage your device. In such an event, I (and the awesome XDA community) will try our best to help get you back up and running. However, please don't try to sue me if your device:
doesn't work as a result of flashing this;
initiates a nuclear meltdown, or;
doesn't permit your alarm clock to function normally.
By flashing, you automatically assume responsibility for any loss of data, functionality, or facial hair. Although a 10% tip would be nice if it started printing out money.

SuperSU: make sure to run echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu in the TWRP terminal (advanced -> terminal) before flashing SuperSU, or else you'll have to perform a restore via fastboot (credit to @r3t3ch for finding the solution)
Features:
[*]Compiled with UBERTC 4.9
UBERTC toolchain causes the post-compiled builds with the 3.0.72+ kernel to break in a really embarrassing way, so this isn't used for now
based on CM13

Known issues
Bugs affecting all CM13-based ROMs on the kindle
Screen artifacts when playing video from Snapchat, Vine, etc.
Audio chops in and out often
Other bugs currently afflicting the other CM13 ROMs for this device
Camera currently doesn't work (although it is functional in the 3/20 RR build and earlier ROMs for jem)
Side note: This camera issue is prevalent w/ transi1's CM13 3/28 build, so it's not specific to this ROM only.
Play Store & Setup Wizard FCs
CM pushed a commit to fix the FCs, so now every ROM built from this point forward should be OK with flashing the latest gapps. (thanks to @r3t3ch for the find)

Roadmap
The following is a list of features I think will make it onto future builds. Feel free to contribute any suggestions, bug reports, etc.
Layers/RRO theming support
Custom boot animation (or at least one scaled to the kindle's screen size)
Possible removal of some unused stock apps (I'll package them into a separate flashable .zip in case)
Publication of a custom .gapps-config file for use with opengapps packages
I'm going to attempt to resolve the infamous camera bug by starting from a known good point in time and backtracking up through transi's kernel commits. This means a lot more frequent builds (sometimes unstable!) in the next couple days. I hope you guys are ready for more testing.
So far, it seems like transi's github commits to the common device repos may have fixed the camera (thus the reason why I didn't release another backtrack through the kernel commits). However, I don't know for sure, as I haven't tested out today's build yet. Any testers coming from earlier builds should not dirty flash this release; a clean wipe would be preferable. Feel free to let me know how things go.
Today's nightly has nothing special in terms of features, etc. However, I'm going to start implementing features as outlined in the roadmap. As usual, do let me know if there's something you'd like to see.
Some updates...
I still haven't gotten around to trying to bring RRO to this ROM. Apparently, CM's theme engine (which should have been compatible with RRO, but isn't) has conflicts with RRO/layers, and those have discouraged me from bringing RRO in (so far).
I think TWRP 3.0.2 needs to be built for both jem & tate. That release has some important fixes regarding encrypted backups, and even the TWRP people themselves recommend you stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups. I'm going to build for another ROM (hai there, OmniROM!) and compile against that source for TWRP. EDIT: transi said he'd wait till TWRP 3.0.3 is released to compile it, so we can stand to wait for it.
More updates...
It's been a while since the last build. Obviously, this one I just uploaded is about 2 weeks old at the time of writing. You may be wondering why I took so long to drop this build. It's complicated:
I was seriously curious as to how the camera managed to break down during transi's kernel backporting in mid-/late March. Such curiosity led me to attempt to revert the device repos to a stable state so I could build against 3.0.72+ instead of 3.0.101+.
My reversion efforts were successful (for the most part). I was able to get the process to succeed like normal, but when I tested out the builds (compiled against UBERTC), there was a breaking issue. The camera worked well enough (as I expected), but as soon as I tapped any textbox at all (even the password prompt for a WiFi network that required one), the screen would glitch out and force a reboot. I thought that maybe it was an error on CM's part, so I waited a day or so and compiled again, getting the same issue. At that point, I was baffled and decided to recompile with CM's native toolchain instead of UBERTC.
That build was on 7/1, and is the build that was uploaded an hour ago. I had it built then, but was waiting for a good time to test it out to see if that issue was resolved. Sure enough, when I tested it out tonight, it didn't occur.
Also, you may have noticed that I changed the ROM project name to CM redux. I did this to signify that this project won't be a full-on verbatim port of CM. (right now it is, but that's beside the point.) The name won't officially show up in the ROM itself until the next build, most likely.
Finally, some planned changes:
I'm going to continue with my backtracking scheme. I want to know exactly which commit is responsible for the software failure of the camera.
Obvious name change in the ROM, mentioned earlier.
Replacing CM's theme engine with RRO(?)
CM bloat cleanup. The ROM itself boots in 30 seconds, which is nice and all, but I'd like to try to trim it down a little more.
Good version,thanks. But it often wifi reconnect , can it fix?

That depends on what apps you have installed, how heavily you use the device, and other factors. Try installing BetterBatteryStats as a system app, using it for a few days, and then report back some of the data it collects.

I have a similar issue when I let my kindle sit overnight. I'm guessing it might be a commit that I reversed when I reverted to the 3.0.72+ source. I'll do a new build within the next few days with a few kernel updates thrown in.

*/
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
The source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
The following CyanogenMod 12.1 builds are based entirely on CyanogenMod code. Please refer to the official XDA thread for CM-12.1 on the LG G2 for basic information on installation and usage. It has the same requirements. It has many of the same limitations, except for those expressly listed updates listed in the Changes list below.
Why are you doing this, why do I want these builds?:
The last release of an OS from LG for the G2 was Lollipop. Since we need to use the proprietary binaries from LG to make our devices functional, and since CM-12.1 is based on Lollipop, the 12.1 release of CyanogenMod is regarded as the most stable for our device simply because they function natively at similar API levels.
Sadly, the LG G2 was one of the very first devices transitioned to the Marshmallow release of CM (CM-13.0) and it's never been quite the same since. The last official 12.1 nightly for most G2 devices is from November of 2015, and since then there have been many stabilizations to the CM-12.1 code base, as well as many security patches from Google. Therefore I thought it would be important to offer people the ability to run a more recent CM-12.1 nightly, rather than force them to transition to CM-13.0 in order to be up to date. And since CM-12.1 is not really changing, except for Google security level patches, I can make this offering once every few months without leaving people to far behind.
These builds are based entirely on CM source code. They are, for all intents and purposes, official CM-12.1 nightlies for the G2. I did make a few very small, but important changes that I thought most people would benefit from. Namely I backported the Snap camera from CM-13.0, as well as fixes to the IR Blaster permissions (so it'll work without having to switch to permissive mode) and changes to the volume that most people were constantly asking for. These builds are what CM-12.1 would have looked like had we waited a few months for CM-13.0 to become mature.
You should know that I built this originally for my mom and a friend of mine. I do not run this on a daily basis. You should consider support relatively non-existent, except for the help you get from the other people on the forums.

All features, unless otherwise noted, are cumulative. It is safe to assume that if a feature is added to a release, all subsequent releases likely have that feature.
Final Build 2016-11-14: October 1, 2016 Security Patch Level
These builds incorporate the latest security patches for Lollipop (CyanogenMod 12.1) as of October 14, 2016. They additionally incorporate a fix for the Dirty COW vulnerability. And since it seems the CM builds are over for CM-12.1, I ran a build for the ls980 as well. These are my final builds for this ROM. I will not be releasing any more after this.

Build 2016-06-14: June 1, 2016 Security Patch Level
These builds add proper IR Blaster sepolicy changes for properly working IR. They also add audio volume changes to increase the device volume output.
Note: Some builds list the build date as 2016-06-15. The builds are all identical, they take a little over an hour to run each one, and the date changed between builds. I did not update my sources between builds, they are NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This build contains a modified and BOOSTED mixer_paths.xml file. Please be careful when upgrading to adjust volumes. I am not responsible if you blow your speaker. These changes were made to CM-13.0 (change: 138749) and have been backported. They are assumed safe.

Build 2016-03-28: March 1, 2016 Security Patch Level
The builds include the version of Snap included with CM-13.0. They also include a fix so HDR works with it (I don't believe my old Snap builds worked w/ HDR before).
Download 2016-03-28 for d800, d801, d802, d803 and vs980. No build was done for ls980 as it was still receiving CM-12.1 nightlies.​

I'm so confused! The last official nightly was from Nov-2015, how in the world could this be current?!?:
The CyanogenMod devs didn't stop developing on version 12.1 when we were transitioned to 13.0. There was a period of months where a group of developers started transitioning existing features and developing new features on CM-13.0, while another group worked to continue to stabilize and maintain the existing CM-12.1 codebase. Sadly, we were one of the very first devices transitioned to 13.0 at the very beginning of the 13.0 development. Therefore we never received a particularly solid 12.1 build.
These builds represent a nightly build from the continually developed 12.1 code base. It has a large number of fixes that have occurred (and, at a very slow pace now, continue to occur) from November of 2015 to the present. Additionally this build has all the monthly security patches from google. These are incorporated by CM, not me. With the exception of the Sprint(US) model of the G2 (the LS980), these builds represent the most up-to-date official builds of CM-12.1 for the G2 you will find.
What are the requirements and/or procedure for installing this ROM?:
These CM-12.1 builds are essentially the same as the official and nightly CM-12.1 builds. Therefore the requirements are the same. Please visit the Official CM-12.1 XDA Thread for information on the requirements and procedure on installing this ROM.
NOTE: This is my own personal recommendation. I HIGHLY recommend following the advice from the CM-13.0 builds: if you can, if you have the chance, backup your device and copy that backup and your phone data to your computer, then completely wipe your device. Do a full stock update (KDZ, TOT, forced OTA's, whatever) to bring your device up to stock LG Lollipop. From there, root the device, do the auto-rec, update TWRP to the latest from blastagator, and then install this ROM and a compatible Gapps package. I personally believe putting your device on stock lollipop firmwares will give you the best possible experience on a Lollipop ROM. And whatever you do, DO NOT USE BOOTSTACKS!!!
Flashing over official CM-12.1:
As stated above, these builds are essentially the same as the official and nightly CM-12.1 builds. They aren't substantially different enough to cause compatibility problems. They are simply updated builds with a number of fixes, and the only real added package is the Snap from CM-13.0. You *should* be about to simply flash this over an existing official CM-12.1 build (which I recently did over a 7-8 month old build with no ill effect).
That being said, if in doubt, do the appropriate backups and start fresh from scratch, restoring app data as necessary. Often times a fresh install can solve a number of odd problems and lead to a smoother experience.
I have a newer nightly, I just want the Snap camera:
If you are currently on the Sprint LG G2 (The LS980) you are already on the official CM-12.1 track, and any future official nightlies will incorporate the IR and Volume patches from my 20160614 builds. Otherwise if you like the nightly you're on and you really just want the snap camera, you can download them here:
Download: Snap camera for CM-12.1 G2 Builds
These zip files should be installed via the recovery. They are also persistent, you won't need to flash them every time you update the ROM. You will only need to re-install whenever you do a clean reset of the device. I will try to upload a new build of Snap whenever I build new snapshots.
Note about Snap builds: Because the Snap settings aren't integrated into the ROM itself, I don't believe these Snap builds will have working HDR. I'm not sure, but if it doesn't work there's nothing really I can do about it.
Can I safely use the CM Updater?:
In a word: No. The only exception to that is if you are on the LS980 device. The recommended way to update these builds is by manually downloading them and flashing them from TWRP (or your chosen recovery).
The CM Updater downloads updates from CM's official build system. For most G2 devices CM Updater will offer you CM-13.0 builds to update to. If you try to update to a CM-13.0 release through the CM Updater from CM-12.1, your device will cease to work. Your best bet (and my recommendation) is to go into the updater (Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates) and setting the update type to "Manual". That will keep the device from checking for updates. Another option would be to re-install your gapps and set it to remove the CM Updater all together.
If you are on an LS980 device, the CM build system is providing you relatively up to date builds. You should be able to use CM Updater to safely update from one of my releases to a newer official CM nightly without any trouble. The only thing you will lose is the Snap camera. In this case I would recommend staying with the official nightly and simply installing the Snap camera separately as mentioned above.
My device seems to be heating up:
User @mwedo on the official thread had a similar problem (click here to see). He tracked it down to the "OK Google" Hotword detection. After disabling it his device things returned to normal. I don't know why this happens, and I doubt it'll get fixed in my lifetime since 12.1 is no longer on the support track for us. However, I am mentioning it here for those of you experiencing a similar problem. I have also updated the gapps-config attachment that I posted below to disable the default Hotword enrollment. Hopefully that'll save people some headache. The gapps-config keyword is "Hotword".
IMPORTANT: Gapps / OpenGapps and Snap Camera:
If you use a modern-ish Gapps package, it may recognize Snap as the default CM camera and remove it. You should modify your Gapps config so that it does NOT do that. If you need to modify Gapp's behavior, you can wipe the system partition (do NOT factory reset), and then fresh install your ROM and Gapps (with any gapps-config modifications you need). I am attaching the gapps-config.txt file I use in conjunction with OpenGapps "Stock" release. Keep in mind it removes the built in Gallery to be replaced by Google Photos.

If you're willing to, I'd HIGHLY (and I've been meaning to list this in the second post... which btw you should read), I HIGHLY recommend taking your device up to stock Lollipop from LG. Do the TOT's, KDZ's, force OTA's, whatever you need to do to arrive at stock LG lollipop. Then root and autorec from there. And then update to the latest blastagator TWRP and install this rom and a suitable Gapps. That should give you the best experience. This is a Lollipop ROM and even though it will theoretically work with a KK firmwares, it'll likely be more solid on LP firmwares.
Also, bootstacks are the devil. They are a crutch, the devs that make them don't even like them. We had so much trouble with it on CM-13.0, the troubles only went away when people did full stock restores and then rooted instead of using bootstacks. I know you won't, but you should read the FAQ for CM-13.0.

That's exactly what I did on the second run. By second run I mean that at first try I just flashed this build over the CM13 to see, or to be precise - to hear, improvements in sound. Sound is great tho! It's loud and clear and it's a joy to blast some nice beats through my Sennheiser headphones. Then flashed it "for real".
However, back to the point... For the first time ever I decided to bother with all that boring stuff; KDZ flashed latest version for my IMEI, rooted, TWRPed (lol word) to the latest version (3.0.2.1 IIRC), wiped everything including the internal storage (just b/c I prefer OTG), rebooted back to TWRP, flashed this marvelous 12.1 build, flashed stock (open)Gapps with some heavy tweaks in config file (removed a ton of that, something like you did @dr4stic but with a couple apps more or should I say less), wiped everything (except the system) once again, rebooted and... it's running like a champ! It's literally the snappiest and smoothest experience I've ever seen on the G2 and even my ex G Flex 2 can't beat this fluidity. Plus there's that insane RAM management without bothering to flash different kernels. It's so good that multitasking is a breeze. Dat multitasking ?
I seriously can't recall if there is any ROM that wasn't giving me some serious frustrations because I'm a professional nitpicker. Your latest build is the first one to achieve that and just when I thought it couldn't get better - this stellar beauty popped here ?

I'm certainly happy you guys are enjoying this build as much as you are. Rashed hates when I get into a discussion with him about how unstable cm-13 is on the device, and that if I really thought it was stable I'd put my mom's phone on it, which I haven't done yet. CM-13.0 is stable, but it's stable in the sense that the phone won't catch fire and it consistently has the same bugs it's always had. But CM-12.1 for our device is simply rock solid. And that has to do with the fact that the last release from LG was for LP and that's where our proprietery binaries are from.
Rashed once told me something interesting... in theory the G2 and G3 could likely use the same RIL's. That's a pretty big deal because the RIL is the thing I find buggiest about the CM-13 release for the G2, and LG finally released native marshmallow to the G3. Also, PsychoGame and I were able to get LG's kernel for the G3 to build and boot quite easily for the G2. The only reason we never really released it was because there were a couple showstoppers with bluetooth and the vibrator driver. Other than that, everything worked beautifully. I'm gonna talk to some other devs and see if I can get a crash course on porting a RIL. I'm not quite ready to abandon this device yet... I'm close, but not just yet.
I remember Rashed talking about how we were moving to marshmallow really early, and I was all excited (I missed being on early releases when I had my Nexus). I later regretted that we didn't stay on Lollipop a little longer.
As for these builds, I otherwise did nothing to the build. It's just pure unadulterated CM-12.1 with Snap built in. I guess they did a good job after all. I hope you guys enjoy!
Is the old random vibration bug exist ?
Ok, i think i will flash this rom during the week end. The only thing that prevented me to flash an AOSP build is the fact that the camera doesn't have the photosphere option. Does this snap camera has the photosphere option? However thank you very much for this build!

If you want photosphere, install the Google camera from the play store. It isn't difficult, and it seems a bit much to avoid AOSP just for that feature. Otherwise no, snap doesn't have photosphere natively, neither does the native AOSP camera. But Google's camera from the play store does.
I have paired this build with Lambda kernel Domino (stable) and everything is working as it should. Give it a try.
Thanks a lot @dr4stic for the build.

Try disabling everything having to do with "OK Google" voice detection. On the official thread, someone discovered that the cause of his overheating was because of the "OK Google" detection. You can try turning that all off and seeing if it makes a difference.
Google (the App) -> Press Hamburger Menu -> Settings -> Voice -> "OK Google" detection
On that screen, make sure all switches are turned off. Then, for good measure, reboot.
Then the play store stops I don't know why
