Can't wait to try this out. Loved omnirom ROM 4.4.4 on my tab until I tried your recent SlimLP ROM on it

Will definitely try this out - Omni 4.4.4 was perfect - I expect nothing less here (over time of course). Thanks Andi.
Builds are up

Likewise with a P5113 here, booted first time after clean flash with pico Gapps and supersu 2.40... but after first reboot and 2 force reboots... still hanging on boot screen with a blank faced android blinking and wondering. Black to SlimLP for now. Thanks again Andi.
Lolli!
I installed the latest build and its working great in my P5110
I didn't even had any major bug yet (Only clock app not working)

Testing Build 20150107
Testing latest build:
- Clean flash Rom + Gapps + Supersu 2.40
- Boot time reduced to 3 minutes
- Setting everything
- Noticed that SuperSU is this time correctly pushed into the system (in previous builds I had two:
one in Launcher and one in Settings ==> sometimes problems with root - TBackup)
- Shutting down the tablet
- Booting - again stuck at Omni boot animation (left it for about 10 minutes)
- Force reboot to TWRP (with two button combo)
- Reboot into the system from TWRP without cleaning anything
- Booting normally in 1 minute
When OC the frame rate is now 32,8 fps (Nenamark2), so better than previous builds, so certain progress is done.
The tablet feels smoother - especially noticeable when opening app drawer.

thanks, but actually i had flashed Gapps (pico) already just after the ROM.
however, i'll try again later. :fingers-crossed:
in the meantime, i re-flashed gapps, with no change in behaviour.
for the time being, i'm back to 4.4.4.
bt issues
cannot connect bt headset. other features working fine, any toughts
only a question
I have a p5110 and runs pretty well but I've a problem with the minimum brightness it's very dark I can't see anything. any solution?
I loaded the 1/29 build last night on a clean install (with the latest Nano PA Gapps and SuperSU install zip, all on Andi's latest TWRP build). So far so good, here's a few observations:
-The first boot took a pretty long time but from what I've read this is normal. I didn't reboot again until the next day but for the second boot, the bootanimation never loaded, it just went straight from the brand logo to the launcher, long black wait in between. After that, all fine. Later I loaded the stock lollipop bootanimation I had been using previously (I do like the omni one a lot, though), and it used to lag a bit at the end on 4.4.4 but now it runs smooth all the way through, so that's encouraging.
-Turning the screen off (or letting it time out) is usually buggy, the screen flickers on/off for a second instead of any type of animation (I believe Lollipop is supposed to do a monochrome fadeout?) Edit: On closer inspection I see it is doing the monochrome fade, but then the screen flashes at the end of the animation.
-Re-installing apps was painfully slow and seemed to hang if I let the screen turn off (I'd find it sitting on the same install several minutes later). Downloading seemed a lot slower than KitKat ever was, too. I looked at the stats in settings->apps->running at on point in the process and the Play Store was listed as Restarting, perhaps this indicates poor memory management? Running the app in the foreground didn't seem to help at all, though.
-The material updates to the stock browser app are pretty swanky, I'm a fan. (I saw that in the gerrit and got excited. Not done yet but looks great.)
-Cast screen doesn't seem functional, doesn't find my chromecast. I've tested both Netflix and Localcast to connect just fine, LocalCast was a bit finicky the first time I tried but I think that may have been a network issue.
-I was testing a video call in in Hangouts and tried to mute the sound (was testing with my phone in hand and there was audio feedback loops because of that), but couldn't. Using the volume buttons, it wouldn't go all the way down, and if I dragged the bar the rest of the way it just wouldn't stick. Not sure exactly which volume control that was (lollipop's sound settings still confuse me in general), but I think it must be a bug of some sort that it wouldn't go down to mute.
-I had only just got around to trying to use my tablet's IR blaster (P5113) for TV control a few days earlier, and I found that the top several smart remote apps in the store don't work at all. Peel actually forces a soft reboot when it gets to the "push this button to test turning the device on" step, consistently. I did get one app working, which only includes remote IR support as a secondary function, TV Guide by Mini Group. Unfortunately the app isn't quite polished enough to be useful to me, but it was notable that it just worked where the others all get nothing. I didn't re-test all of the apps on lollipop but the ones I did(both of the ones linked here and a couple of the others that didn't work) behaved the same way.
-Visual performance generally seems a bit laggy but overall performance is fine (i.e. animations may freeze or lag but the tasks they're covering up don't suffer). Maybe all the animations in lolipop are just a bit rough on older hardware? I find them a bit overdone now that I've played around with things a bit more, personally (not that this reflects on the ROM). I don't really like stuff like shadows bouncing around as I scroll menus, though some of them are a nice subtle touch.
Overall I was happy with KitKat, but I think I'll let lollipop grow on me, these quirks are all minor. Idle battery life seems a bit worse but it's hard to make that call, I've been fiddling with the tablet more than usual to test things anyway.
Edit: Actually after letting it sit overnight unplugged, the idle battery is better than I was ever getting on KitKat. Granted, I made a point of closing all apps before and I think on KitKat I was having issue with casting apps holding wakelocks overnight and that's yet to be tested, but 1% over 12 hours is a pretty damn good baseline. Not sure what caused that wifi drop towards the end, after holding the connection (it gets a good strong signal) for about 11 hours, though.
Hey together!
Seems like we have some faulty eMMC chips, some reports of broken devices appeared.
I pushed a commit to address the issue and prevent other devices from damage.
I will recompile latest Lollipop roms and recoveries within 1 week.
For more information please read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3016879
Follow the instructions please to check your eMMC information.
Best regards and wishes!

Hi there,
guess that's my first post here after ages of just reading. I really appreciate this community.
I updated my S5 mini from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 weeks ago, but sadly the battery drain issue made me nuts; every night at about 3 or 4am the device decided to only go down as far as 300 MHz, so no deep sleep anymore. I just came back to 4.2.2 (hoping that there'll be more sane versions of 5.1.1, not just for Russia and India - which are the first ones to roll out so maybe they fix this issue in an upcoming build).
So back on 4.4.2 I rooted and cleaned the ROM (bloatware). Happy so far, except for a few orphaned entries in e.g. the system settings, like S Planner or eMail settings. Both apps have been removed so clicking these now halts the settings. I am sure that the whole settings menu is a bunch of XML documents somewhere with these features edited in (as they aren't on stock Android).
Can someone shed some light on where to look or where to start?
Thanks!

Sadly i dont know but i know something that will fix the 5.1.1 issue you have
go to my thread *fix sim and wifi after updating to lollipop* it should fix your battery problem
also check my thread *unleash the power of the galaxy s5 mini* to remove the bloatware so easy and make the device faster i hope it helps
Well, it wasn't wifi or sim problems, it was clearly some task stalling with wakelocks, and Google Play Services was in the middle of it. Read a lot, but so far could not pinpoint the problem. Now on 4.4.2 all is rock solid, battery fine etc.
Also, yes, tried your ROM cleaner and that worked nicely. Also removed such bloat entries in the settings, but that's 5.1.1, so thought I'd ask for 4.2.2. I am sure there's maybe a generel thread or something.
I know the name of thread is sim and wifi but it solves alot of problems in fact i had a terrible battery life and the finger scanner didnt worked when i first updated to 5.1.1 along side with lag and the sim&wifi so i thought you might try it out as well it might work
Posting this in hopes it helps others save some time.. Had a crazy wifi toggle issue that in the end had nothing to do with the rom/kernel on the phone.
I have gone crazy because of this issue.. I own a Note4 and Note5 used for personal/work.
Put in my google info which installed all my apps recently on the Note4.
Shortly after I noticed this wifi toggle issue..
- wiped phone, reinstalled everything - no change
- spent hours looking up this issue and couldn't find anything related...
* people experiencing wifi issues is so wideopen.. you can just imagine due to the learning curve..
- found numerous fixes online for wifi issues via developer sites..
- rooted applied changes - no change
- custom rom - no change
- custom kernel - no change
- at this point i'm like WTF as each time I'm wiping and the issue comes back
I then decided to wipe the phone again. Skipped putting in my google creds thus installing no apps and noticed wifi is working perfect.
I now start the process of installing each app 1 by 1 to find out which one is broken..
- install app
- run app
- toggle wifi.
- look for issues
After hours of this painstaking process I finally find the friggen app "android wear".
- Remove the app, reboot the phone.. Issue goes away..
- Install the app it comes back. .
*** I have 147 apps/games installed and it took about 80 before I finally got to Android Wear.
** I never would have thought an app would cause an issue like this.
I decided to search for "android wear wifi" so I can alert other people about this problem. Sure and behold I come across this thread.

I did do what someone else mentioned (Disable Wifi Scanning via Location/Improve Accuracy) and this has fixed...

Hi all,
Can anyone help with this issue. I can see no long discussion about it which seems to suggest it's either rare (not great) or something I am doing (probably).
My WiFi status appears to be fine throughout the day, when in regular use. I have no speed issues (connection speeds as expected for my home internet), no random drops or on/off switches and no seeming battery drain. I have all additional services on (Bluetooth, location and NFC as I want the phone to be fully functional at all times and not just 'look nice') and despite this I get what I would expect in battery life (c. 6 hrs screen on time). YET, amongst a few other problems (what is the slider customisation about - awful!) the one I can't fathom is this:
My WiFi switches off over night presumably when the phone goes into deep sleep. I have gone into the advanced settings and set it to 'Always on' but this doesn't seem to keep it 'always on'. I wake up in the morning and it is off. I was running some Tasker profiles (which seem to make little difference given the slider issue noted above) but actually my WiFi isn't one off the Tasks effected by a night time profile.
Any help would be appreciated.
AS a secondary question, I switched my VPN over to Canada as suggested and was provided with the Nougat update. I haven't yet tried it but was wondering if there are any bugs that I should consider before switching over given I am 4 days into owning this phone and still haven't ironed out certain things in Marshmallow.
Just as a follow up question, would the 'turn Doze off' option help with this? Surely I shouldn't have to do this though?
Am I the only one having this issue? That would suck. Even so, would anybody more adept at these things than me like to have a guess at solving the issue.
IV had agresive dose mode on and haven't had any wifi problems but I am on 4.0.1 so might want to just update it as it's really stable and I haven't had any issue except having to reconfigure the APN settings. PS if you do update reset you phone after as some people have said it helps with the new file system.

This happens when people is crying about updates every day. Then, when the updates are available, they update it in the first minute and again, they start crying, that they encounter bugs and stuff that doesnt work as it should, even if they dont have any idea how to revert their OS to the previous working one. People should learn how to be patient and enjoy their phones without being so greedy about updates.
Just sit tight, enjoy your phone, READ forums about latest updates and the problems encountered on that specific update ( since its still a beta update, and an early one , called Beta 1 ). If they seem to be fine with those issue, ONLY then should update to the latest one.

I haven't 'cried' about anything, pal, so keep your unhelpful comments to yourself or help. Don't middle ground-it by offering your own personal, and incorrect, opinions.
I hadn't upgraded anything, I was running stock OS and stock marshmallow, so I had literally done nothing to my device other than switch it on and download the same apps I've been using for years.
I've also rooted several devices in the past with no issues and chime in when I can to help, but I'm not a dev and there are far more technologically gifted individuals operating in this forum which is why I sought help here... Not that I got much from you. But I'm more than capable of reading release notes and making sure I can revert backwards before installing anything.
Now to anyone still here, and with the same issue, it appears that carrying out the update to Nougat, re-adding my WiFi networks and clearing system cache solved the problem or at least for the first night. Should this change I'll update here.

Hi Iso, thank you for your response, I hadn't seen this until now.
The upgrade to 4.0.1 does appear to have done the trick somewhat as it stayed on overnight without issue. I did notice it wasn't on a little later this morning but I am giving the device the benefit of the doubt on that one as I have been messing about with certain things and it's possible I or a profile in tasker switched it off.
As an aside do you recommend any other potential fixes, just to be on the safe side.
Did you factory reset after upgrading? Other than that it's probably a app you have I hear Facebook is really bad at battery

I didn't factory reset, only Cache wipe after the upgrade, and as it seems ok so far, I am reluctant to factory reset the device as it took so long to set up in the first instance.
Should it start becoming an issue again I'll try it but for now...
Also I know there are backup options though I haven't found one that works flawlessly which gives me the confidence to explore this avenue just yet.
You might have to because in nuogat they optimized the file system and in order to get the new one you have to factory reset not 100% sure it affects battery life but it really affects performance, PS also try turning off gestures, ambient display and pocket mode

Are you sure ISO? The UI has been updated and the already snappy OS feels snappier. Is there a way to tell for sure if it's required?
If so, any good recommendations for backup capability. I have used Helium to mixed results and I can't use Titanium as I have no root (and don't wish to).
Maybe not but it all elts fails
I recently got a new Mercedes C Class 2017 (built november) with the all-new Android Auto Support (finally..)
My girlfriends phone works fine with it, I can connect it, android auto starts and I am able to use it for as long as I've tested (~2 hours).
When I try to do the same with my 3t (running latest open beta 18) my phone will hard crash after a few minutes of usage. I'm talking screen black but still running kind of crash here, phone does no longer react to anything, I can only do a hard restart (long pressing the power button for ~10 seconds). The crash is always reproducable but does not seem to be limited to certain apps (happened on spotify, google maps, waze and idle), the phone just crashes after a few minutes. I already disabled battery optimization for Android Auto but to no effect.
Any ideas?
Try upgrading to the stable Oreo 5.0 ROM instead of the beta, there's lots of debugging turned on in the beta that can cause issues, as well as buggy implementations. Beta is Beta after all [emoji16]

hm I was going to do that but I read a post somewhere that there are no bugs fixed between the beta and the stable channel for this release so I thought it's probably not worth trying. I'll give it a shot nevertheless today
-edit- I tried it: did a full wipe and a clean install of OOS5 but Android Auto is still crashing after a few seconds of usage
