Lollipop ROM Screencasting - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone tell me if there is a Lollipop ROM where screencastng is working? I have tried a few and none of them seem to do anything. Is this just a Android 5.0 bug?

You just have to wait. Devs are still working to give us the first stable build. After that I'm quiet sure they will think about features like screen mirroring

Looking for an Alpha Lollipop build for the G2? Look no further!

"The G2 Dream Team" (and they well deserve that name) has released not one, but TWO lollipop builds for the LG G2. Both ROMs are based on the same build tree, but one ROM is CM12 and the other is a LiquidSmooth 4.0 ROM. Despite being built from the same build tree, they carry different features. They are stable and usable for daily drivers, but they may carry some bugs, like a non-functional video playback, NFC issues for LS/VS980 but it should all be sorted out in the near future. Head over to the threads to read more!:

An increasing amount of devices have been receiving unofficial Android Lollipop 5.0 ports, like the HTC One M8 and the LG Optimus L9. Today another device can be added to the list of phones receiving a treatment with the taste of Android Lollipop, the LG G2. While there generally has been a wide contribution from the community; testing, sharing files and giving ideas, two XDA members stood out in particular in order to create the build, @ylukasy and @InfinitusDesigner. The port is still in a very early pre-alpha stage, and the bugs are barely known yet, but the ROM boots and has even been rooted! While it might be wisest to wait until an official thread has been made before grabbing your devices and start flashing, @ylukasy has already provided a download link for the ROM, and calls for people to help discover the bugs so that they can be eliminated. Please notice that the ROM might not be stable enough to be used as a daily driver, but owners of a LG G2 are officially an important step closer to having a stable Lollipop ROM!
If this post caught your interest and you're willing to take the risk, head over to the last pages in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unofficial-cm12-nexus-5-posted-t2936398
As previously mentioned, a lot of things are not sorted out yet, and the build might not be for your device number, so make sure you read the entire thread before continuing, or simply wait untill an official thread is made.
Update:
An official thread has been posted and it can be found by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-android-lollipop-fast-clean-t2941922
The build is a port of the Nexus 5 ROM, and users of the ROM have been saying that the rom is very fast and fluid, calls work, camera works (although the quality is inferior), but other users have been reporting random reboots and incompatibilities with certain apps such as YouTube or WhatsApp.

This post will be updated regularly when new information regarding Lollipop ports surface.
Fantastic News! Will get round to trying it shortly, thanks for the link!
While I have my doubts about it being functional (or even booting) on my LS980, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Nice to see things moving at breakneck speeds these days.
On a side note, I just read the AnandTech review of the Nexus 6 and am happy to report that my well over a year old G2 beats it in several benchmarks so I'm pretty satisfied at the moment, especially considering I got it for free. I mean really...
In before "no build for xxxx?!?!?!?"
Anyone know how to port a d802 rom to d800?
Ready to try it out and see what happened..??
his build is from the same source the other was he doesn't deserve credit for it. it's using cm12 kernel and dev claims it's using nexus 5 port yet requires gapps and no signs of any nexus 5 code at all.
Wouldn't it be alot easier to just post the download link here?

It's not my work, and there are some steps which must be followed in order to make it work. I am just objectively informing any news regarding Android Lollipop for the LG G2.

Can anyone port the Nexus 5 ROM?
Updating this thread later today if nothing gets in the way.
Hi everybody!!
I need a tester please:
I built pure AOSP for the D802 from sources of Android right now, has anybody time to test it?
It is an experimental build and I didn't test it right now, so I don't know if it is working, please make a backup from your current rom.
The build comes with an built in CWM recovery and should be with root access. It can be flashed with the same instructions like the CM 12 build.
Edit: Bootloop right now ... Anybody, can you take a logcat?

Thank you in advance!! Please anybody who tries it: can you send me a pm?

I'd love to test this for you, but I'm on Sprint LS980 Would you mind making a build for us?

Yes sure, but right now, I have to solve the bug, that the d802 wouldnt boot, so this may take some more time until I build it for other devices too.

[Q] Which rom (4.4.x or 5.1.x) is best for daily use?

I want install a custom rom on my girlfriend's galaxy s2, but I would be sure that the rom I choose hasn't camera/audio/3g/wifi bugs. I saw the paranoid rom with android 4.4 and cm rom 12.1 nightly but I'm undecided which one to choose. Can someone give me a suggestion? Also on other rom
If you want to run on a newer Android version, here's a link to a unofficial CyanogenMod ROM of Lysergic Acid. The newest build is Android 5.1.2 but I don't know if everything works. I am using an older build (03/31 EOL Build) which is Android 5.0.2. No major bugs at me, WiFi, Network, Bluetooth, Camera, Audio all working. Only noticed that device is getting very hot at hard usage and sometimes WiFi Hotspot doesn't work. Battery lifetime is ok. I don't recommend the official nightly version because as the name says it's full of bugs.

If you want to avoid any kind of little bugs here is a stable official version of CM:

lollipop or marshmallow custom roms?

Could someone tell me why there's not a single cm12/cm13 custom rom for Kindle Fire HD 7"? Aren't we already able to install TWRP? Thanks.
.
I'm not an expert on this, so this isn't 100% accurate, but all the marshmallow drivers would have to be ported, and as you hopefully already know, not all the drivers and modules are working on CM11 yet. Lollipop would probably be a similar situation as with CM11, as stock kitkat is already available, but the ROM doesn't have bluetooth, camera, or OMX.
This might change in the feature though, so keep an eye on here. -w-

Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560)?

Just yesterday I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T560) and immediately I rooted it. The device is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat. While I think for the price this tablet is fantastic, I want Marshmallow on this device. I don't believe hardware is a limiting factor here based on the research I did, although I am very aware that the tablet is not a flagship by any means. I got the tablet as a device to mess around with, but after hours of searching I cannot find any custom ROMs for this device. Cyanogenmod don't even support this device. This came as a huge surprise to me as this tablet is pretty popular and from 2015. I kept on looking and apparently a lot of people had trouble rooting this device, so I'm wondering if this is why there has not yet been any ROMs released for the device. The device is just about usable in this state, but coming from someone with three phones all running Android 6.0 and above (two of those devices being Nexuses) using KitKat and moreover KitKat skinned with TouchWiz is a lot to get used to.
Does anyone know of any custom ROMs for the SM-T560? Maybe I'm just blind and missed something. If there aren't any ROMs, would building a version of Cyanogenmod 13 be the best option? Also, I am very curious: Why have we not yet seen any ROMs? Popularity isn't an issue, neither is specs, the rooting process was painless for a newbie like me, so I'm really interested to know.
Thanks!

Custom ROMSs Vs GSI

I just got a Moto G Power, replacing a UMIDIGI Power 3(don't ask). I'm currently on the stock ROM and rooted.
I'm hoping to move to a custom ROM.. Can someone let me know which custom ROM is the most stable and consistently updated? Looking for one that is kept security patch updated.
Also, has anyone tried to flash a GSI?
I can try all of these myself, just trying learn by shortcut.

I've tested a couple of times out on here which were the OmniRom and the Pixel experience. I like certain features on the Pixel experience but I think Omnirom is a bit more stable and things work better on Omnirom. I'm currently on Pixel Experience which has a few notable problems such as that I get a camera error on PE and the Bluetooth won't connect to my speakers on PE. But I like the ringtones and notification sounds better on PE. Don't get me wrong. The PE is still a usable rom though.
I tried OmniRom, Havoc, RRMix and Erfan Generic Gsi(This one was Android 11). Decided to stick to Havoc as I like customization and Havoc is next to RRMix in this. RRMix would have been my choice but I was unable to install Viper4Android successfully and hence had to settle down with the next best (Havoc with November 5 Security patch). All of them were otherwise stable. Omni was on March Security Patch if I remember right. Can't say about the update frequency as It's just over 3 weeks for me. Have fun!!.
havoc seems to be the only rom that's up to date with security patches. that's what I'm running.
Havoc. It just works and can be beautiful.
