I just started learning to build and a fellow xda'er(Inkslinger420) recommended Mint 16 Petra cinnamon and helped me set it up using a USB flash stick to boot and install from and at first I dual booted win 7 and mint and I was surprised by how everything just worked...I immediately formatted and went mint all the way and everything just works(only thing I had to do was add noapic to grub and I figured that out quickly using Google).

I'm still learning but I expected tons of driver issues and stuff but nope, everything is solid and just works.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] androidfilesharing:
I would honestly research Linux a bit more before diving in head first on a build box. You need a solid understanding of the os and a networking background never hurts with Linux. If you are having issues with establishing a network connection you aren't ready imo

I am currently using 14 on my server and just built a new dhcp server on 14 as well. I have been with Ubuntu for years and really like how polished 14 is
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
It's been awhile since i've messed with it and want to get into it again. Best way to learn is to do it and learn as you go hands on.

I didn't even think about my phones usb tethering. Lol i've got Mint 16 installing now. Guess i need to slow down and not be so rushed to get it done.

Hi guys. How is supposed to work TDRS daytime auto switch? Is uses the time as reference ? Dark at nights and normal at days?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] choosetobelieve:
Hi guys, I am new to this rom. I have below questions:

1. The resolution ofthis romlooks high which makes everything realky small. Hiw do u change the resolution and what is good resolution number? I used stock rom and like the default stock size.

2. No hdr mode in camera. Any reason?

3. Do you flash franco kernel? Do you change the cpu? I saw the minimum cpu is 920. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] indian84:
Hi.

1. Because Slim Team likes it Small. Serach the thread for DPI. There are a million posts about this. You can use an app from play store to change the DPI to stock or anything you like.

2. Flash Photosphere addon from Slim Website.

Franco Works fine. But stick toy slim for sometime and you will be amazed how good it is.. There is Kufi's test kernel posted few pages back. Flash it. Its amazingly smooth and battery friendly. I do not uncerclock or undervolt. so i cannot comment on that.

Enjoy the ROM.

:good:

Hi! I see you're somewhat new to xda. The web developers of this site have been kind enough to provide us with the amazing search feature. It can be your best friend if you ask it questions. Most of your questions have been asked and answered already in this very thread! :D All you have to do to get the answers is search this thread for them.

1. There are many apps that can do this. Here's one of them https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi

You can also manually edit the build.prop if you feel comfortable doing so.

Slim's default dpi is 370. Hammerhead stock dpi is 480.

2. Which version did you flash? If you're using the stable or the official weekly, all you need to do is flash the photosphere add-on to get hdr. It can be found in slim's add-ons here: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downl...50-addons4-4/8861-photosphere-4-4-2-build-2-x

:Though recently that add-on was rendered obsolete if you're using the new google camera.

3. You can flash whatever non-CAF kernel you want. For Franco support, however, please visit the Franco thread.

First one's free, please search next time ;)

edit: long post, should've expected to get ninja'd :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
No need for photosphere any more. Just flash the latest slim gapps, then install the Google camera from the play store.

I use "make clean". This doesn't delete your ccache. Do you have .bashrc setup to use ccache?

It's always best to clean between builds. However if you manually delete your device out folder and not the host one, it will build quicker.

In the interest of fairness, I'd like to wish you all a happy Western, as well, from (almost) the West Coast (of North America.) Also a happy Passover to Jewish xda-ers, Vairakhi to Sikhs and some Hindus, Theravada New Year to Buddhists in Thailand and elsewhere, Ridvan to Baha'is listening in, etc. If I've missed significant, recent or upcoming festivals in your faith, please forgive me...I've searched high and low...no Muslim holidays just now, as far as I can tell.

Just a reminder that just as we have recently learned that we have members from their teens (anyone younger?) to (at least) their 70's, so too, do we have members from all over the globe, and of every conviction. A Happy Something to you all!

Linux build environments

And on a lighter note to my post above...

I have used Arch Linux for years and years on VMs and bare metal, and find that there is nothing quite like it for two reasons.

One, its rolling release model is not quite unique, but is uncommonly well done, and the basis for some other distros' efforts in that direction...for a group like this, very fond of staying on the cutting, not to say bleeding edge, this should not be discouraging.

And two, the depth of expertise in Arch forums is unequaled...well, maybe Debian or Gentoo are as good, but Debian is generally the opposite of cutting edge (which has its virtues, too, of course.) But if you have issues with your environment, an Arch forum is likely to be the most up-to-the-minute resource you could wish for...fast and friendly, kind of like this group is for SlimKat ;)

If you find Arch a little much...it does take longer to set up than other distros (though less time than Gentoo)...you might like easy to use Arch derivative ArchBang, or the Italian distro, Sabayon, based on Gentoo but easier to get up and run with. In each of those cases, their parent distro forums are a wealth of up-to-date information.

CrunchBang (#!) is another really good choice...lightweight and based on Debian stable. Again, Debian means less cutting edge but more stable...maybe you're into Android far more than Linux, and don't want to bleed on more than one edge at a time? ;)

My two cents, and as always, YMMV.

p-d

Hmmmmmm. Still don't get it. All I found on AP was a link to the PlayStore download. This time I got an "Application already exists" error, but there is no camera app in list or in /system/app or /data/app. Also no camera in the full Google Account llisting.

What next: cleared system, cache & dalvik and reflashed ROM. Same error.

Searched for 'camera' with Root Explorer and deleted all except 1 DCIM listing. Should have skipped two as that wiped out my stored pictures in DCIM and also would not allow reboot (stuck at Google). Back to Recovery to reflash and start a new.

So back in business (less a few photos - although I still have the thumbnails). Any next steps recommended?

Edit: After the last reflash/reboot I'm back to the original "incorrectly signed" error. Interestingly, the pictures still appear in the Gallery and seem to expand OK, even though the large. jpg files are gone from DCIM.

This turns out to be the toughest issue I've seen in a while. Moved the newly downloaded apk to /system/app and fixed the permissons. The icon looks great after reboot, but the app force closes. Should I have not uninstalled the stock cemera first?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Maybe try flashing the photosphere add-on and then try updating that or if that doesn't work try installing the apk afterwords?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Wait for weekly is even more fast lmao....apple inspired us lol

Well mint is known to run out of the box without much hassle. I personally recommend it especially for beginner. Not a fan of Ubuntu tbh....to much blowed for me and likes to be under certain conditions to be unstable....well that's my personal preference I think.

Our server eg are running all Debian......not always on the bleeding edge....but works works and just works and is lean. For server like buildboxes which need to be stable all the time perfect.

And for all who like to play and being on the bleeding edge and really want to learn Linux in all variants possible....arch is the way to go :D

Format system manually....flash ROM and gapps....boot up.....reboot again.....install from play store. Should work.

Yes will switch just not sure when I want to do it...the stock interactive is OK but not like I want it (on demand is better done). So I need to work a bit on interactive before I will switch....on the other hand it is to be expected that google will switch with 4.4.3 as well to interactive. So let's see who is faster :p

Well in theory yes...in practice no lol. It is so less that a user even on a low end phone will not notice it....but yeah it is measurable......we are talking here about some micro seconds on a low end phone...on n5 it is nearly not possible to measure out at all.

if you're on dalvik you can used xposed lockscreen wallpaper module. you can choose PA-style blurred transparent lockscreen background, or solid color, or set lockscreen wallpaper from an image. recently, dev pushed an update to fix compatibility for slimkat specifically.

anyway, maybe you can try

rm -rf

from your repo directory and a fresh repo init and sync from scratch? possibly cherry picks you didn't revert... I dunno. starting from scratch should fix any issues. there's no way the file should be 177mb.

It's one of the first things I do when clean flashing. I always make all animations 0.5x. Every time I see a phone with the default speed, it seems laggy to me.

Okay so I've been on slimkat for several weeks now and couldn't be happier. The ROM is amazing...and for the whole time I've been using Faux kernel as I've usually always used faux and have had amazing results with it. Lately though however the kernel has been acting weird out of no where. If you look in the faux thread my settings in trickster don't stick and if I try to set it to min-300mhz max2.26ghz(default) when I apply the settings my max drops to 300mhz and cpu spy shows my scaling range at 2mhz - 2mhz and it seems stuck at 964mhz.

The reason I'm bringing this up in this thread is because everyone is so helpful and what I want to do is start over from scratch as I've briefly read how ramdisks and partitions or whatever can get screwed up and after clean flashing slim and faux several times trying to get this fixed I don't know what else to do. Faux worked before and I haven't done anything different so idk what it could be.

What is the process for me to go back to square one where everything would be fresh and nothing broken?
