First thing I do on every rom is removing the following apps:

News & Weather

Tags

Talk

because I have the feeling that (at least News & Weather and Talk) create some descent drain and as I don't use them in any way, I uninstall them with TB...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
frustrated about battery life so I have decided to try this Minco v6

Just flashed v6 and then rebooted to flash this mod M+ CM9 - Zen Keys

from MiNCO Plus+ MODs & Enhancements http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791815

Then i got stuck on boot animations. something I did wrong? or are these mods only for Galaxy Nexus?

thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] danielvc:
Just for Galaxy Nexus. Mako doesnt have much mods, maybe two. You can find them here in the topic.

Tapatalked with my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
LOL no not yet ;)

What I meant to say is the first time I tried using this ROM was (2 days ago now) and looks like a new version will be available soon. That's win win for me. And others running it of course.

Typically you do a Factory Reset which will wipe your data partition. It will wipe all the files/apps on your phone but it won't wipe your internal SD Card, so you will still have all your pictures and videos and music etc.

Wiping system partition will remove the ROM from your phone, but that is typically wiped when you flash the ROM anyway.

I normally do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM (and then GAPPS if needed) and then reboot.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] James086:
Try clearing the caches after flashing (before booting). I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. :good:

Nope, nothing out of the ordinary, just minimum screen brightness and wifi browsing because I was at home and work when using it. I didn't play any games.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pitjago74:
Well.i will give i try:D:cool::D

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vomer:
I will try to have some this week.

It won't cause battery drain but I would backup before flashing any unofficial mods. Avoid it if possible.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
a very quick question

I plugged the phone with USB to my PC right after I flashed Minco from clean flash but the PC is not recognizing the USB device at all as if the PC did not detect anything plugged.

Anyone know why?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Do you have the drivers installed?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
the PC has been untouched and I have been using this phone for 10 days already plugging in and out from my PC

I do have driver installed but even if it doesn't, PC will still recognize it as a USB storage

This just happened after I flashed MinCo v6. So I thought if that may be related to the rom?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] vomer:
fast charge enabled in franco kernel?

or

usb debugging on under dev settings?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] MonztA2:
Ok, thanks!

I dont see Cell Broadcast in the Settings -> More.

I do see the CellBroadcastReceiver.apk in /system/app. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
thanks a lot. fixed

By the way, any way that I can change the lockscreen lock icon back from the Minco lock to stock lock?

also what mods are available for v6? i do not see any on the OP?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
As per the above post by Vomer.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] squadz:
Just flashed this ROM + Kernel combo last night, after using Franco's kernel for a while now (with CM).

How come the packaged kernel isn't the latest one? (ie. R28)

Any way to be notified of new updates with this package?

Thanks for the good work guys, making my first Android experience great.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] siscim23:
r28 is a nightly release, there aren't stable releases yet. The ROM comes with whatever the latest version was at that time, they can't rebuild the ROM every time a kernel version is release (every couple of days).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
This ROM was last updated on December 22nd and R28 of Franco's kernel was just released a couple days ago. You can flash the ROM and then flash the newest Franco kernel right afterward, works great, that's how I am running it now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] squadz:
Yeah, that's what I did. I was just curious.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Hey guys... Trying to install Minco.... Downloaded the zip file twice with no problems..

Did a factory reset and then tried to install the ROM... It's giving me an error once is doing the partitions... And it said "failed" in red.

Really want to try this ROM... Any ideas?

You grabbed the nexus 4 mako, right? And checked the md5 sum..?

Didn't check sum though.... That's why I went and downloaded twice

What recovery are you using? Go for latest twrp, crazy good stuff.. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Where can I find it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] siscim23:
Yeah make sure after you click the link in the OP and you go to downloads, click on Nexus 4. I think the downloads link defaults to the GNex.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] melbourne408:
This was after a compete wipe, on Franco's latest nightly r28. With two more power cycles I expect optimal results. Here's some screenshots

Here's another reason for drain

I leave everything stock with Franco's latest stable release.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Just a few quick questions since I'm considering installing this but don't wanna backup install and restore just cause it didn't have 2 of the features i use most haha.. Is there expanded desktop? just found where it says it does :) And are the toggles customizable? Bonus feature, custom app notification LED settings built in ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
going to test some battery life on this rom

before i start, I looked at catlog and noticed it is constantly getting pages and pages of these in the screenshot. Is it normal? what I can do to get rid of it if it's not? I don't remember having these when I was with AOKP + Franco r28 with the exact same settings and apps. It was a very clean flash started everything from scratch
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Toggles are not customizable. Also there is not a custom LED notification app built in. I would recommend downloading lightflow now on your current setup and configure the LED notifications to your liking. Then save your profile. That way when you flash MiNCO you can restore your lightflow profile and don't have to set it all up again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] aMpeX:
It's normal, a known bug. Just ignore it

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
hi OP. I have a question here since I got my Nexus 4 I have tried Stock rom, AOKP and now Minco. I noticed for Stock and AOKP, when I open a certain file, link and there are multiple apps that I can choose to open that, I get the newer way to choose which app to use (e.g. you get to choose which app and THEN you choose "Always" and "Just once" ). But for Minco, it seems the app choosing thing is still with the old way which you choose "Always" and "Just once" and THEN the app.

Is there a reason for that? Or I am remembering it wrong?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Hey guys... One thing I've seen is that on the sync options of my Google account, there's not a "instant upload" option..

That used to have my Nexus 7 and my Nexus 4 pictures synced..

Any ideas?

Lu
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Instant Upload is a feature of Google +. Log into the Google + app on your phone and it will give you the option to turn on or off your Instant Uploads.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
I did some very noob testing of naked rom last night comparing 2 roms: MiNco and AOKP.

Disclaimer: I don't know if it's conclusive and scientific enough but it does mean something to me.

Targets: MiNCO v6, AOKP 30 Dec (both for Nexus 4)

Procedures:

1. clean wiped the phone except internal storage

2. flashed the rom (MiNCO includes GAPPS, and AOKP without GAPPS)

3. flashed Franco kernel r28

4. without signing in (so no sync or whatever at all and it means the phone was not working at all, theoratically), started the phone and charge to 100%

5. unpluggged the phone and let it sit idle for 1 hour with screen on

6. after the first hour, screen was then turned off and the phone was left idle for another 1 hour

Attached screenshots show the result of MiNCO v6 result.

Result:

I have not screen capped the result of AOKP as with around 45minutes the battery dropped through 90% already and when I checked the battery usage, the usage of "Android OS" is a lot higher as compared to that of MiNCO.

That's where I got puzzled and I believe the rom itself (AOKP) is not really idling and that's why Android OS keeps draining battery. That's something that I cannot explain but it is the fact. I flashed back to MiNCO after testing to AOKP to make sure my first round of MiNCO result is reliable an yes, for another hour of testing with MiNCO, the Android OS drain was still less than 5 minutes for the total 2 hours of idling.

Conclusion:

So I took MiNCO out for a spin today for a full day of normal usage. The battery drain was not impressive as it only lasted 9 hours of standby on 3G Data with 7% left and screen on time of 2h6m. It's rather low because I spent quite some time on hacking portals too (I am a resistance fighter yes). I know my battery drain well 1 day ago when I was on AOKP as every time when I had my screen on the battery graph dropped 90 degree but with MiNCO today the battery dropped only gradually when I had screen on.

With both rom I had the exact setup with everything sync'ed etc.

Feel free to do these naked rom testing yourself and test the efficiency of each rom.

AOKP is full featured and stable with lots of customizations.

MiNCO is a very very lean stock rom with little to none customizations.

Share the results with me if you ever do such testings. Or feel free to let me know if there are flaws on this test.

Enjoy.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bmwboyee:
I have downloaded this several times and I keep getting an install error. I will try and pull the log but it says

E:Error in /sdcard/0/Download/MiNCO_Maguro_v6.zip (Status 7)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
That's because this is not the Maguro, this is the Nexus 4 which is called the Mako.

If you flash the Maguro ROM on the Nexus 4 you could potentially brick your phone.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] siscim23:
When you go to the download page, make sure you click Nexus 4 before clicking download.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] melbourne408:
It's great , the complimentary marks you have given to MiNCO, nonetheless let's leave the thread there. AOKP has its own thread separate from MiNCO :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bmwboyee:
Well I feel silly now. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] schizophrenia:
i could leave the "AOKP" out if people are not happy with it

but then people will start asking me which rom was I comparing with.

the whole point of the test was to find out what's eating battery from the very first beginning before you ever start signing in and it's rom related. Just felt the need to share this as everyone asked what are draining batteries etc, including me

I could delete the post too. I am happy with that if people are offended.

I deleted that on franco kernel thread already even though it's very franco related.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
No problem, sorry if my comment seemed forward, I wanted to answer quickly before you tried to flash on your device and possibly brick it in the process. Hope the Mako build works out for you, it's running fantastic for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] melbourne408:
No one is offended, I'm sorry for causing the discrepancy, you are very helpful and let my experience not discredit your intent to provide for the communal pool with knowledge. My experience is to keep thread conversation strictly development.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abdoelah01:
This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to make a screenshot in this ROM?

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Hm.. Really would like toggles :/ is it just stock then? Are they toggles or purely stock? Yeah i know of light flow but third party app is never as good as in ROM solution ;)

Oops just read where it says long press is toggle.. Hm, no option to reverse that in settings?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
The quick settings menu cannot be customized as of right now on this ROM. You have the options for Brightness, Settings, Wifi, Data, Auto Rotate, Battery, Airplane Mode and Bluetooth. Tapping on any one of the options will bring you to that functions settings menu. If you long press it will act as a toggle and turn on or off.

The only exception is Airplane mode, which you can tap to turn on and off.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
I guess i can switch and deal with that for now and hope really hard that they include it soon :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
It's a nice feature to have. However, for me it's not a huge issue. I like having customization but not at the expense of stability. This ROM doesn't have as much customization as others may have, but everything works and is very stable as well. Daily driver material, also great to have as a nandroid when or if you want to try other ROMs for testing. :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Oh customization i can live without, i would like to swap the long press/short press though, but like you said it's not a huge issue :)

Have they started anywhere their intentions for future releases or features? One thing that'd be nice is the arrow keys on navbar while typing from aokp :p I must say though it is crazy smooth.. And I know it's smooth by not bogging it down with bloat like this but I can't imagine some small things would take up much.. ;)

Side note, can I install the MMS.apk from aokp to get the pop up text?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Wannagotopopeyes:
I downloaded a modified MMS.apk from the N4 themes and apps section and it works fine, I'd imagine the one from AOKP would do the same (but don't hold me to that!)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Guess I'll do a backup when I get home and give it a shot :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Raphael17:
Does this come with the newest Franco Kernel?

Do I have to flash the latest release *at the time of writing this its currently R29* or does it come with the rom?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] noneabove:
Flash latest

I went there and it takes you to your Google account sync settings... But instant upload doesn't appear.... Strange :-/
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
You should see the following in Google + settings and in your Google Account settings
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Raphael17:
SUPER MINOR thing I noticed

My brother and I both have Nexus 4s he is still running stock everything while I am running MiNCO v6+ Franco's R29 kernel.

When we swipe down notification his follows his finger while mine hangs a little is that do to the kernel because I did read something about Franco using I think 1 core for simple things like scrolling.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Exactly... It doesn't show "Instant Upload"... It used to with CM... Weird stuff!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] grubbster:
Release 29 uses one core for touches but uses 2 when you swipe.

Quoted from the Franco thread:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] llaugerm:
I can't even imagine when we get an update on this beautiful ROM. I have tried many ROM's but nothing like this one so far. I love the freedom to text without getting that crazy warning and enjoying the stock feeling but with speed.

Not getting a Mako until March but I just decided this will be the first Rom I'll try
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] .dan:
google plus instant upload

did you restore the google plus app and data? if you did, that might be the reason. i had to uninstall google plus and reinstall it from play store to get the feature enabled. maybe then you could try to restore the data. this is not particular to this rom, but likely to all roms.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Luigiesin:
Going to try that... Thanks!

Edit: it worked... Reintalled the app and now I have instant upload again :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] wreckone:
The ROM didn't feel any smoother than stock to me plus missing some essential custom features. I've been running Stock with Franco r14 with the best overall performance. keep in mind I'm still running a custom kernel, so I can't see a significant improvement from stock ROM. I'm also getting the best consist benchmarks with stock and Franco r14 :)

A little too hasty in my decision, trying it again :). I enjoyed this ROM on my Gnex and since it is deodexed I'll give it another go.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] estallings15:
