Fingerprint doesn't worth within apps. Other than that though everything's pretty much good I think.

@CodeFox Thanks for this rom. I used to make my own Du builds for nexus device. It was sucha an amazing experience.
Would love to try DU for note 9.
Just a couple of questions -
- Does any of the Touch wiz features like, pen related features ( bluetooth control work ) ?
- Phone related features by flashing csc files for specific network still doable ?

Pretty much all Samsung features are lost on AOSP however there are a lot of alternative apps that can "revive" the Spen.

That is what I thought... Thanks for answering

I flashed this twice. Both times I couldn't get the setup wizard to show up. There are no gapps in the app drawer either.
Can someone confirm? I'm pretty sure I did everything right with the flashing process..

Gapps aren't included. You'll need to download a package from opengapps. Arm64 9.0. I recommend nano.
Don't forget to download a phone and SMS app too.
I copied and pasted from my PE thread so I need to take out the gapps included part. My bad, sorry about that.

No problem. Also, the .xz file needs to be extracted and the IMG file in it needs to be flashed to the system partition. I noticed you haven't included this in the flashing instructions
Thank you for the ROM btw

Haha I can understand. Btw I just restored the galaxy wearable, Samsung accessory service, gear s plugin and Samsung health using titanium backup and I didn't have to reset my gear. It just connected right away and it's working fine now. The backup I made using titanium backup was on Pixel Experience right before I flashed this rom.
I hope it doesn't do a freak reset later.. Too good to be true? :silly:

Hmm thanks for letting me know. I'll give it a go. I really do need to start using titanium backup more often. I usually have problems with apps not notifying me of new posts anymore or them being stuck in the past though.

I agree with you on those issues. Apps like whatsapp are affected with the delayed notifications so I avoid backing it up with titanium backup. Still, the fact that Gear doesn't need to be reset is a big thing. I even toggled Bluetooth on and off multiple times and it still connects to it without any prompt for reset

Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 SABERMOD 4.8 Toolchain
Alright, well it's about time Google. What we have here is going to be CM11 4.4.4 builds for your Galaxy S2 i777 with the bonus of Sabermod toolchain. I will continue to add tweaks and change things but this will also be updated from CyanogenMod as well. I could theme this if interested as well and at some point I will add more features and tweaks. CLEAN install is recommended for your first time but dirty will be fine after that unless I notify you differently.
HOW TO INSTALL
Make sure you are on CWM 6.0.4.4+ before flashing ROM!
I by far recommend TWRP tho as that is what all testing will be done with because I no longer use CWM.
Download the zip
Download compatible Gapps
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
Wipe Cache/Dalvic Cache
Flash the Rom
Flash Gapps
Reboot
Enjoy
Install from my previous build:
Download the zip
WIPE Cache
WIPE Dalvik Cache
Flash the ROM
Reboot

I honestly haven't used Omni in probably 18 months so maybe @cyril279 could help me out here. I know it's similar but from I can remember from way back at least is that cm was more feature rich but again that's been awhile. Sorry been busy trying to as linaro and some small tweaks the kernel and it's been eating my spare time. Not to mention I still have to keep my actual phone updated as well and I run those build as well. I could you another quad core or a couple duo's lol

It's in the recommended gapps for this ROM, but I've had it before, back when Render was still working on 4.4.2. It's a massive battery hog, and so I just disable it w/ TIB

No such battery issues here. Over twenty hours both days. Might use a different gapps when I post the next build anyway just haven't tested it yet

omni rom has a great experience but just as a stock KK means features free but cm has a lot more features and i believe with the latest nighties i have had more smoothness aside from the new update to 4.4.3 which isn't so smooth yet as its still just out . i have tried omni at first but i settled for the cm experience bc its just smooth and feature loaded without any lag , also slim saber by cyril is fantastic and he didd a great job with his solid base but still miss the unique slim customizations . so if i may recommend go with cm but if wanting some minimal taste then go with slim . hope this made it a bit clear for you :cyclops:

New build up. Switched download repository. Updated OP and I also changed the gapps link to an updated version that should work for this device. I'll finish adding linaro to the kernel before the next build just haven't had time to finish editing some things I wanted to test quite yet. Flash and report any issues. Thanks

Arrggghh. Just got the rom installed and now a new one. My typical dumb luck. Anyway I have the 01/05/2014 gapps installed. Seems to be working ok except lately I keep getting the contacts failing to sync. tryed clearing the data for contact storage, but it seems to be a problem in the future.
Anyway, what is the difference with the new Gapps you put up? Do I just install the gapps you put together over top of my existing gapps in recovery?

Wow I need to learn more of this one. Thanks for posting your work.

Boots up perfectly fine in Multi-boot. Looks great and is pretty smooth.
Wi-Fi works but no cell, data or LTE available. Says unknown SIM state. I'm sure those are known but just giving my experience.
Thank you. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

From my understanding Abtekk and I are using the same original source however I will be posting updates daily and I am not changing the source, just building it, I believe that Abtekk has done some amount of development to improve his builds functionality beyond the original source tree. Also my Builds are flashable Zip's which work with recoveries like TWRP and CWM as well as MultiRom and effort Abtekk has not taken.
--correction Abtekk has noted that he was just building the source, again the difference is the consistency of nightly builds and the delivery format (ie.. flashable Zip)

wifi and cell work good, but camera not work

Whatever it may be. We are happy someone took the initiative. There are no rules against multiple threads for same OS development.
@abtekk did not really release nightlies even after naming his thread that way. Last build was in June. I hope @aaron.thomas.webster, you will. Thanks for your work.

I've got a couple of questions for you... hopefully we will be able to get it running for you.
First which version have you downloaded and have you verified the MD5 hash?
Second What method did you use to install the ROM, I assume a custom recovery and not MultiRom since it wiped your phone?
Third and this one is not for faultytowersdude but for everyone else, has anyone else had trouble installing, I have only tested it on MultiRom since I like my other Rom and don't fill like going through the backup/restore process.

Welcome everyone once again to a brand new Android. Here you will find unofficial builds for LiquidSmooth v4.0 running Android 5.0 Lollipop. Bare in mind that these are currently in the ALPHA stage, so expect bugs here and there and things to be a little off. This is early in development and may or may not be daily driver ready yet. And now, on with the show.

DISCLAMER
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project.
Dedicated to providing users with smooth, stable and fast ROMs. A Lightweight modified AOSP base, and then add the features you crave!
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.
We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash!

You can download the latest build from [URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398652"][COLOR="Blue"]]RIGHT HERE[/COLOR][/COLOR][/URL] (Current Build: 12/06 )
Gapps can be found [URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398367"][COLOR="Blue"]here[/COLOR][/URL] thanks to @rogersb11
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) DO A BACKUP!
2) If you haven't prior to this step, flash the Shift Eternal CM12 kernel, then reboot recovery.
3) Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik.
4) Wipe System
4) Flash ROM then flash Gapps.
5) Reboot and enjoy!
Also note that the initial boot takes a good amount of time. Upwards of 10 minutes in some cases. Just be patient when you get ready to boot into the system. It will eventually start up.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must be on a Lollipop compatible kernel and recovery for this to flash. Currently, the only one available is the Shift Eternal CM12 kernel from @rogersb11. You can download it here. This ROM package contains the same kernel so you will not have to reflash it after flashing the ROM. Questions related to the kernel can be directed to this thread.
You will not have a keyboard upon the initial boot. Skip through the initial setup process then do the following:
Go to Settings>Language and Input
Select the current keyboard.
A pop up will then come up and you need to flip the hardware switch in the top right corner to on.
After this you can then go through with signing in with your account, setting up wifi, etc.
Please remember that these are UNOFFICIAL ALPHA BUILDS. This meaning nobody from the LiquidSmooth team should be expected to help you if you run into any issues. Bugs should be reported to THIS THREAD ONLY. I will do my best to address and fix them as I can. I'm not a master developer, just a builder. But I am learning, and I will try my best to track down fixes to relevant bugs.

KNOWN ISSUES
As reported by @rogersb11 in his CM12 thread, "If you don't have WiFi on the device will reboot upon going to sleep so LEAVE THE WIFI ON." This is a Lollipop bug in general, and currently has no fix.
SPECIAL THANKS
Special thanks to the entire LiquidSmooth team for building this awesome ROM. I just compile it from source for this device and the ROM would not be here without their dedication and hard work to provide it.
Special thanks also once again to @rogersb11 for his help and guidance and tireless work to bring the device tree up to be ready for Android 5.0 ... Seriously, this dude has coded his fingers to the bone to make this a reality. I wouldn't have this thread up and going already without him. So be sure to let him know how thankful you are for his work to keep this device alive.

Thanks for all the hard work. Just a quick question. I assume this isn't happening to everyone, but Google Play Services crashes, not allowing me to create my backup account. Does the same on the cm12 build.

Hmm. I'm not sure. Haven't had that issue. A guess says it could be the Gapps, but I can't say that for sure though because I tested with different Gapps than the ones listed. Have you tried going back and wiping Dalvik and reinstalling Gapps?

Yeah, I actually did. I'm going to try some other things throughout the day and report back.

OMG, I can't believe there is ANOTHER lollipop build for the s2 . Oh BTW where you listed me as a contributer if you remove the @ before my username it will link me correctly. You don't need that on DevDB. Just edit profect at the top and then it automatically links the username without the @ in those contributor boxes

Yah, I'm having the same google play services FCs. I also tried bpear's Lollipop Gapps and that didn't work either . . .
NOTE: I did have the same problem on @rogersb11 Cm12 build too

I tested this with the 5.0 gapps from here. But if you try it, you will have to strip a few unneeded apps out of it for the sake of internal storage space. I can't remember exactly which ones I pulled out of it, but you can pretty much just use Google Play, Play Services, and Google Services Frameworks, and download the rest from the PlayStore

Got it. I'm really not sure I like how the whole DevDB thing works. Should have just started a regular thread

I may possibly have another build out tomorrow with a few minor tweaks and a little overhaul to the UI. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't like the dark background of, say, the settings app. I'll be working on this and a few minor things tomorrow.

I haven't been able to get a working system. It usually hangs on the boot animation (animation freezes). Sometimes it gets to the optimizing apps screen, but it will hang there too. However, if I do NOT flash gapps, it's able to boot, but then hangs on the welcome screen (it freezes and doesn't accept any input). Between failed boot attempts, I'll wipe everything or even go as far as reflashing.
Any ideas?

Don't bother wiping everything.. Tried that two different times, still having the same results as you. I reverted back to KK and I'm just gonna wait for another build.

Remember these are alpha builds. While I haven't had that issue with it yet, doesn't mean it won't happen for others. On mine, once I got to the setup screen I had to reboot the first time, then it allowed me to skip through until I was able to enable the keyboard. And it worked fine after that.
It will stabilize as time goes by for sure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

I had hoped to have another build out today, but I had a learning curve to get through first. But now that I have learned, should be late tonight or tomorrow. Mainly UI fixes, maybe a tweak or two elsewhere.

Finally! Android L for my GS2! Now to wait for an at&t GS4 custom Lollipop ROM.

[Q] About booting this ROM
When I flash the shift eternal kernel does it give me the right clockwork mod recovery I need to flash the rom? If not,where can I download it?

It comes with PhilzTouch which is very a custom recovery based on CWM. It will be the right version for you to flash this and also the version and kernel that the ROM will be running.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Was hoping to have a new build posted today, but there are a few too many quirks with it for me to feel comfortable putting it out there. It boots, but there's a few things going crazy. I do believe I can get it worked out though, and will try to get another build done and put out tonight or tomorrow.
Biggest change right now is that I have reverted the Material Dark theme in favor of the Material Light theme that Lollipop is more known for right now. In the future, according to one of LS's lead developers, there will be a switch to go between the two.
Anyhoo, carry on.

My internal storage is not working. Google play services not working. Browser is also not working. Unable to install any app at all. Very nice rom though. Once a stable version is released i will use it as daily driver.

[ROM] [AOSP 6.0.1_r46] [Abandoned] Clean Whale - Pure AOSP

MOD EDIT: THREAD CLOSED PER OP REQUEST
Mods: Feel free to lock this thread. I'm done with this. Reasoning below.
Alright well, it was cool. I didn't realize how much went into ROMs [development]. I came into this way over my head and didn't do the proper bug checking before posting it. This was a learning experience for me, and I thought I had this figured out. Oops. I'm going to continue working with ROM source code and expanding my knowledge of this, but it'll be all a personal, private project. Thanks to the community for all of the guides they've posted on this site, and I hope one day I can do something meaningful for this community.
If you really want to run a pure AOSP ROM, you should try @freak97's master branch builds. His has the Verizon call audio issue just as this one does, and neither of us seem to know why that is, but hopefully he figures it out. Fair warning about his builds though, Netflix doesn't work on his ROM (he's probably missing the vendor files which are on this ROM which allow Netflix to work, because DRM), and the package installer will force close if you try to install an APK from outside of the Play Store.

This is stock AOSP from the Google repos. It contains no extra features, other than the extremely small list below. Any additions to these builds will be purely for compatibility and to make the device easier to use (ex. Enabling tethering). I intend to keep this updated with each of the new releases which appear.

What is "Clean Whale"?
Clean Whale is a ROM for the Google Nexus 6! Why the name? Because it's essentially pure AOSP running on the Nexus 6. Clean Android, Nexus 6 (shamu). Clean Whale. Why did I make a name for it if it's just AOSP? Because I needed a name for the Github repo. Deal with it.
Features
As stated above, this is pure AOSP with minimal changes. Here's what I've done:
Enabled Tethering
MultiROM support
Encryption isn't forced
Stock AOSP boot animation
Unrooted (also no Busybox. Just install it with an app.)
Yeah, that's literally it.
Kernel
This ROM uses the stock AOSP kernel from Google. The only thing added to it is the kexec-hardboot patch for MultiROM support. Yes, you can use MultiROM with this as a primary or secondary. Enjoy.
Changelog is in second post
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
The latest version of TWRP
Install Instructions:
Download the ROM.
Boot into TWRP make backup, and wipe (System, Data, Cache)
Flash the ROM
Flash SuperSU and/or GApps if you wish to use them.
Boot up and enjoy pure AOSP!
NOTE: First boot and signing in (if using GApps) may lag a little bit. Not much I can do about that, sorry. It'll go away pretty quick (if you really don't want to deal with it, reboot immediately after first boot).
Root
As stated above, this doesn't come with root OR Busybox. Why? Becuase neither are included in the source code, and I want this to be as close to the original source as possible. You can get root by flashing SuperSU (I've only tested the latest BETA version) and you can get Busybox by installing it with an app from the Playstore (requires root).
Downloads
Latest - Clean Whale 1.1 (AOSP 6.0.1_r46) [NO LONGER UPDATED]
All releases (my AFH folder) [NO LONGER UPDATED]
I have extremely slow upload speed, so I upload new releases overnight while I'm asleep. If you wish to check if I've updated this to a new revision of 6.0.1, you can view my AFH folder here. It'll appear there before it does in the thread.
Recommend (and tested) GApps
BaNkS Dynamic GApps
SuperSU
SuperSU BETA
SuperSU Stable
Bugs/Issues
Verizon call audio is broken - Currently working on this.
You may get "Error 7: System partition has unexpected contents after OTA update" when flashing. 1.1 should fix it. If you get this error when flashing, please report it here and provide a recovery.log [Fix attempted]
I would just like to take a minute to say thank you to @fhem @Scott for their amazing work with their threads which teach the community about how to download and compile a ROM from source. They're the reason this is here, and they're the reason I've decided to start working with custom ROM source code. This is my first experience working with Android in this way, and I have them to thank. Also, since this is my first experience I may very well get some things wrong and/or manage to break this. If that happens, I'm sorry. I'm still learning.
Thank you all for this wonderful community, and I hope one day I can really get into true ROM development

I'm booting into Ubuntu now, I'll see if I can figure this out but I'm not experiencing the issue so it might be a while before I find a fix. I'll also see about fixing Verizon call audio as well.

Upload a log and I'll look at it.

Made some changes which should fix Error 7, building now (gonna be a while... for some reason my ccache reset). As for the lack of call audio, I'm going to see if I can get any useful info from the logcat. I have a feeling I'm missing some libs.

True, didn't think about that. Noob mistake on my part, though you're right. It could definitely give the answer. Although I updated the ota_from_target_files.py in build/tools/releasetools, which should fix the error (in theory).

What exactly do you mean by this? Taking the factory images here and just uploading it with changes? Seems kind of pointless since there are multiple ROMs on here which are modded stock. Some people like 100% AOSP, and this is a good learning experience for me. I'm not very interested in modifying Google's factory images. I'll leave that to others

No you don't need to do anything if you've already done the partition swap. I would make sure I am on MDMowers TWRP and you should be fine, don't dirty flash the ROM do clean flash only.

Any Specific Baseband?
Beeko, Is there a specific baseband/radio version for this ROM? I'm coming from PACROM 5.1.1 and the baseband that IT requires is installed. When I clean-flashed and booted phone into this ROM, I had no connection/wireless service. I'm going to attempt it again today and check out more possibilities I may have missed. Thank you for keeping this phone relevant and up to date.

As I said before, thanks for publicizing your interest in keeping this phone model "flowing". You have a donate paypal? I'll toss some bucks your way, since I have been using PacManRom, and now hearing from you about this...interactively. Glad to see people squeeze all performance out of (unsubsidized) 600.00 dollar pieces of gear, instead of contracts, latest and (perceived greatest) phone "upgrades".

I'm not accepting donations personally but thank you. I've been busy with other devices so I've kinda left this one in the dirt. But I'm gonna see what I can do for it here this next week or so.

New build in OP. Hopefully got the RIL problem fixed.

ROM update in OP, along with fixed RIL. Wasn't sure if it was working last build, tried with my SIM and it works fine.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for this ROM. It is really a great ROM. Super smooth and stable. It is not my main phone anymore but every now and then I switch to it for awhile for some reason. Not sure if it's the smaller size or the nostalgia (was my first smart phone), but I just can't seem to get rid of this phone. Was using your PAC Rom up until now, but it's good to get it updated to an MM based ROM for when I do use it.

Thank you, again. The phone is like brand new with this Rom. No loggers, no adware shows up. Great having adaway built in. This Rom makes this old phone sooooo smooth, runs cooler, battery seems managed better. I'm not a fan of android coaxing me to format my SD to it, but I did (backed the contents up to Pc) so the phone has 32 gigs mem. Again, THANK YOU!
The only bug I have found so far, Is turning off mobile hotspot hangs, unless I restart, hotspot stays on. Sometimes I can get it to turn off if I tap hotspot settings or mess with wifi power button bar. On Pacman Rom, what fixed it for me was "allow wifi scanning even when wifi is off." I'm looking for similar settings to see if that does the trick.
Many Thanks Beeko!

Thanks for this rom, just posting this info for others who may want to know what it can/can't do.
I had a little trouble deciphering the conversion from stock to the swapped CM11/12 version ( I first tried what the page describes as for CM13 roms, but ended in boot loops with logcat choking on /data/media permissions)
ROM runs great. I had forgotten the issues with trying to get too many apps on the PacRom with stock partitions.
Data/cell seems fine, video playback excellent, it now makes for a nice portable media player.
I don't have it activated, so cant comment on the hotspot issue mentioned above but Bluetooth has issues.
Can turn on and see other devices, but I get the message "cant communicate to xx:xx:..." when trying to pair to a known working speaker.
A minor flaw in an otherwise great ROM.
Thanks for developing it.
edit: on a whim, I initiated pairing to my speaker, flipped the speaker's power on/off, and immediately the phone changed the mac address of the speaker to it's identifying name, and a pairing request popped up. Pairs successfully.
