There was a weird bug with TWRP that put the FIRST backup in /data/media/TWRP/backups (read: wrong). After rebooting the recovery, all future backups will go into /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, which is where you want them.

Here's what I think happened:

1) Your first backup was stored in /data/media/TWRP which is not where TWRP looks for backups. So, TWRP showed no backups.

2) You ran a second backup which showed up correctly in TWRP, and was stored in /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups.

3) You renamed the most recent backup, and then checked /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, and assumed the renaming actually moved the folder. I don't think it did.

I really hope that Xylon continues to be supported and maintained. After having used several builds of CM 10.1, and nearly every AOKP nightly since the first build on the Nexus 4, Xylon offers the best combination of features, performance, and battery life. It offers all the features I care about from AOKP with the best battery life of any ROM I've used, including Stock, and also seems to be the most polished of the ROMs. :good:

I also have a lot of respect for Roman, but Xylon clearly has better battery life. So you guys can't just be "rebranding", you must be doing something right.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] benjamin.j.goodwin:
I am compiling the new build now. I hope to have it up at some point this evening or first thing tomorrow. Dax asked that it was held back whilst he tested some stuff but never actually reminded that it was cool to go ahead - so I checked git and nothing has changed for a while so I have started a build.

Guys just bear in mind that this could seem a little smoother as it's AOSP which is native to this device. AOKP is still young and has a small team - I like to support that. Anyway, new build soon, I hope.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Romanbb:
Before I offend anyone (and I imagine this will), let me just say that mister benjamin.j.goodwin, scar45, remicks and I are on excellent terms, I respect those guys a lot (they were the ones that started FNV which is what Xylon is based off of IIRC).

Here's where some issues start, and it's way more complicated than I could ever put into words:

If Xylon has such amazing battery life, I would really like its developers to tell me why, or what they did different. But I haven't heard anything from anyone other than bjg. All I see from my perspective is this:

https://github.com/XYAOSP/frameworks_base/commit/7a09efeddec9ce1338866449af9311ad6dfb5c6f

https://github.com/XYAOSP/frameworks_base/commit/6af4b38f1ec1b1d48bb8465d98f94851f09f81c5

https://github.com/XYAOSP/frameworks_base/commit/8c87438aaa160b2808f6767ab88ccbe60d25f474

https://github.com/XYAOSP/frameworks_base/commits/jellybean

And I'm really not picking on Xylon here, I promise. This happens ALL the time. With every ROM. Here is another favorite example of mine: https://github.com/DroidTh3ory/plat...mmit/a31017c08d47c840b5718ad3065a4773dc96cb30 -- and these things happen all over the place, and it's to be expected to be honest.

So when other ROMs borrow features from AOKP, PA, CM, whatever, that's awesome. That's what this whole community is about. The issues start is when they borrow X feature, and fix a bug in it, and all the sudden, their ROM is 100000x better than any other ROM. While we're still doing our own thing, we have no idea that the feature has been implemented somewhere else or that it's been fixed.

Furthermore, with this whole Transparent Nav bar thing. I was working on it for 3 days (and I'm talking about sleeping, pooping breaks in between, sometimes even eating). I had initially decided to keep the feature "private" until I could get everything working and let people play with it. However, after finishing up final touches o it, I decided to go ahead and publish it, this was around 4AM and then I went to sleep. I wake up, and not only had Xylon cherry-picked this feature (which was not complete) but they did a WHOLE new release of the ROM with it by 5AM. I was pretty insulted and kind of mad, I needed someone to hold my hand and wipe my tears.

Another big issue I have is that people will try AOKP, and find some broken feature, and just move on to Xylon, CM, PA, whatever, and not even tell me it's broken and then rage about how much AOKP sucks.

So I read this all the time, "I have lots of respect for Team X, but their ROM ****ing sucks! You guys have taken their best features and made them 10000x better."

Apologies in advance for anything this starts, but it needed to be said.

All that said, if you enjoy Xylon, please, keep using it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ziggy34:
Thanks, I wondered what happened to m y backup, I found it and moved it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] m_zet:
Maybe a little off topic, but...

In OP there is an info that Xylon comes with STOCK kernel. But the 25 DEC release (14.1) is with faux one.

I know that I can change it by loading the one provided in notice, but still.

Benjamin:

New xylon build? - I am asking just to be 100% sure...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] benjamin.j.goodwin:
Thanks Roman - I realize this isn't for my benefit but hopefully it clears things a little and definitely clarifies stufff..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] khanh1289:
wait.. so you are still maintaining this ROM? or this is basically your last build? either way, thanks for everything and if Xylon will no longer be maintained by a good developer, I guess AOKP will be my next. Speaking of which, I never really even given AOKP a chance. Xylon was the first ROM I flashed for my N4 and it's just so smooth and bugless that I never really bother to even take a look around at other options. I've looked in other ROM threads and have noticed a few users complained of bugs and I guess that's what chased me away. Hopefully, we won't have any dev-drama and N4 will continue to be a great device to develop and own.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raycaster3:
I gotta say (and I didn't wanna quote his post again so I quoted this one) that what we just saw was seriously amazing. Roman is class all the way. For those of us that have been around a while this situation could've played out Soooooooo much worse. Thnx Roman for being an example of what it means to have I integrity.

And thnx to ben as well. Good dudes for really real.

Every ROM has bugs. You have to remember that people use the forum to report bugs. Most of the bugs i have seen on xylon and aokp have been minor. Both are daily drivers.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Rafase282:
Well I'm new to this rom so I have to ask. Is this rom no longer going to be supported? I come from CM10.1 and I have not used anythign else prior to that on my N4. I was looking for somethign with the features I like and not extra stuff and this rom seems to be great.

So should I look for a new rom, maybe learn how to build form source and cherry pick?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] m_zet:
You just install the Xylon and look if it suits you.

I did...

There will be Xylon new builds in the future, but not benjamin as dev.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] benjamin.j.goodwin:
To clear this up once and for all - this ROM will be maintained just not by me. They will find another dev to maintain it. I am, because I am not a complete a****hole keeping the build up to date. So you will notice that there is a new version up now. If anyone wants to maintain this and is capable enough then speak to Dax.

How exactly do I change the color of the signal?

What I did was select the color I wanted (green) and it's telling me to press on color to apply and I did. But it's not working. :(

I tried pressing "Set" but it still doesn't seem to work. The new color won't apply on. Sorry if this has been addressed already.

I also want to change back the notification pull down instead of the quick settings pull down. Can it be changed?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raycaster3:
The signal color did change but you probably don't have the alternate signal display chosen so you wouldn't know. And changing the notification shade changes it for Notification and quick toggles view. If you notice the background is static and the overlay changes.

Hope that helps

The stock brightness mod doesn't appear to work with the 12/29 build. The brightness is fine, but the navbar is missing, and the power menu shows "Recovery" rather than "Reboot." It's possible the issue is on my end as I dirty flashed, but I figured I would tell others as an FYI.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ayo234:
On the latest uxylon the red notification shows up when the screen is on. Also when enabling pie the clock is in the middle and on the right of the status bar.

Without tool chain phone runs Much cooler. Also hybrid sucks it never works .doesn't matter what build .ever since Feb. Never goes to stock DPI.slim pie is the worse .tripper area settings never stick and I have pie showing all over the screen . .halo works great and never force closes . that's the only plus . sorry just being a little honest . ohh and expanded desktop option is not working unless pie is selected .even then it doesn't show in power menu
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
I'm not sure you should associate the tool chain with your temp, the chain is used on xylon as well and none have stated such. Your temp issues are likely linked to apps or rogue ones that keep that CPU busy. Also mobile data can make it warm.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] raidrom:
I have used the same kernel on 20 different roms for this phone . I try a new one every few days . ROMs that have linaro tool chain or gcc blah blah contributions added my phone heats up so much it burns my face .I try basic builds and it doesn't .hmm weird I must be crazy right

And I'm using rbmcgreg Build with halo and no toolchain

So this is what all the Halo hype/banwagon was all about?

It shows missed calls, but does not show missed Texts. I haven't tested other apps.

So what is the difference between blacklist and whitelist. tried both, didn't make any difference.

And how do you reset it? There has to be more to it, but I couldn't find any settings for it except the three settings under the Status Extras and none of them seem to make any changes.

sorry if I sound so stupid. But I just don't get it.

An explanation for halo is kinda lacking. Only three options in settings, guess everyone should understand that.

I downloaded the app and it looks bland too. I see I can pin apps to my screen constantly. With horizontal swipe I can switch between apps. Swiping down hides the bubble but swiping up does nothing?!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SWOLEGASM:
No, swiping up is supposed to clear the notification like you would if you swiped left or right to clear a notification from the regular drop down
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stylez Ray.:
Yea right thanks. Played with it a bit and uderstanding it now. Notifications which would come in the statusbar will be added to the "pinned bubbles" and some notifications appear in their own popup.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] crawlgsx:
Wondering this myself, it is does its time to switch roms again. I came here to get AWAY from Halo.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Girn:
Why not just disable halo?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] crawlgsx:
Turning halo off does not remove it and its framework/etc from the ROM. It is still there, integrated, extra waste of code, etc...

I'd rather stick to a rom base that is focusing on speed/useful features.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ridikolous:
Halo is pretty useful. Example: when I'm browsing tapatalk and I get a text or email, I don't have to leave the app to check my message. I didn't like it at first, but its grown on me.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ock:
Is anyone able to blacklist a notification? Tried going to app settings to do so, but the notification bubble still appears. Have tried a reboot too.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Ace42:
Dude they're already focusing on speed, the ROM has bionic, krait, Saber 4.9 tool chain, among other optimizations. They have not been ignoring performance at all, besides halo was a requested feature by many.

Seriously wtf is wrong with some of you people. How long are you in settings that you hate the new one? And if you love settings so much you should know that getting around is way easier than before. The slim pie has every feature from the last pie just no centered quick settings or notifications.. Ermahgerdddd halo takes care of that now. And you can still put those shortcuts in pie. The new one looks sexy as ****. And seriously *****ing about how halo is a waste of code? Lmfao you people are rediculous these days. This has been the most useful multitasking thing I've ever used.
