Ubuntu updates always break stuff for me. I'm still running Saucy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 93foxgt:
Haven't updated in over a year myself.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Dang realized its been longer than that. Ubuntu precise. Lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
I can't run saucy. I have a freaking Geoforce optimus GPU. Lucky me! 14.04 is the first version to support it. Had to use nomodeset on saucy & half the stuff didn't work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neriamarillo:
How about using Mint? I'm using that and like it better than 'buntu
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
What do you like about it better? I'm already setup & almost done repo syncing. It better be something good lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
It's pretty much ubuntu, but "prioritizes elegance and user-friendliness, and is more open to proprietary software being pre-installed"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
May help w/ my WiFi issues. I'm thinking that it might be a driver problem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Yeah mostly a ui preference. That's why I chose it at least.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Been thinking of trying it.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 AM ----------

New system?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
i just didnt like the way Ubuntu was going UI wise so i decided to try out some different distros. and Mint was really easy to setup and maintain. much more friendly to someone who is used to Windows.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 93foxgt:
Mint is what I use as well
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] UltimHero:
Definitely driver issue . find the name of ur WiFi card and search on google ... Installing drivers on ubuntu is the worst thing it can be very tricky !! (BTW sorry for being out of topic subject here )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigimac78:
Manjaro is my district of choice. It's speed and ease of use will blow you away.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
Have to agree. I actually just finished installing it and loving it. Just dunno how easy setting up a build environment will be. Shouldnt be too hard

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

I installed the xfc version btw
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigimac78:
Xfce is what I'm running as well with compiz and emerald. I run it on an older Alienware lappy and get 8 second boot times. All drivers were good to go out of the gate even my Broadcom wireless drivers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neriamarillo:
Mostly ui but somehow it just behaves better on my systems than buntu. No driver issues and on Ubuntu I do. Feels way better though. Try it in a VM and then decide if you like it. KDE and cinnamon are good.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
I think the trick to getting all the drivers working is to select (nonfree) at the beginning
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Yeah. I did a clean install b/c I was having some WiFi issues. Wired connection = 4 megabytes/sec download speed & wireless = @ best 2.25 megabytes/sec. Definitely something going on! Clean install didn't fix it either = super pissed! Lol.

You have experience with this? PM me so I can give you my email address & you can hit me up on Hangouts & try to help me fix it.

I have no clue about how to setup a VM! Lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Just install Virtualbox (or VMWare player which I prefer) and when you go through the set up, point it to the .iso you downlaoded for the OS

I can help you through it if you like,
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Koopa777:
Optimus support has nothing to do with Ubuntu. In fact, the stock open-source nouveau drivers support switching out of the box. The issue was that, the open-source drivers suck, and Nvidia didn't support on-the-fly switching in drivers until very recently(possibly R337, don't quote me on that though). Just install BumbleBee. I've used an Optimus laptop on Ubuntu/Linux Mint for years. Also make sure you use the proprietary Nvidia drivers in tandem with Bumblebee(beta/untested branch if possible), the open-source nouveau drivers are absolute garbage. You could also install primus for even better performance. Same thing for Intel on-board/chipset drivers, the proprietary GPU drivers are factors better. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silentbob999:
Don't start a vm to test Mint.. The cd's are live cd's, boot it, test it, then decide if you want to install it.

I am a big Windows fan, but on Linux the distro I like the most was Mint Debian (LMDE) (not sure if I was using Mate or Cinnamon)

Tapatalked with SlimKated NexusFive
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
I have no idea how to do that **** man. Tried installing bumblebee a couple of times & couldn't get it to work & nvidia drivers DESTROY my already ****ty battery life!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
When using ART on official weekly 6.8, I can't make my device go to sleep for some reason o.o Anyone having this issue? When I press power button on lockscreen it just stays like that. Not even the DT2S works.

Edit: It works after I let the screen turn off by itself. Happens after every reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Live CDs are good for noobs that want to quickly test a distro as a daily driver but live CD performance is really poor and they're useless when it comes to longer term testing or for builders, even if you set up a live USB with persist.

Even a VM running on top of windows or Linux will be a much more realistic trial than live CDs. Never use live CDs, unless you only care to learn what a distro looks like "ooooh pretty". Live CDs are rubbish for what "we" want.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Ditto on the live CD thing. Great for eyecandy but useless for anything else.

I've used both Mint 15 KDE and ubuntu 12 thru 14. I did like some features of Mint but it had a bootloader black screen of death issue that forced me away from it. Ubuntu 14 has been playing very nice with my comp for the past four months now. Everything works as it should so it's where I'll be for the foreseable future. My laptop is also my only comp. I need something stable that just works. For my setup that is Ubuntu. I've had a few driver issues but nothing that couldn't be solved in a few hours with some googling.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I've run KDE for years, So I don't worry about the UI.

With a dedicated box, switching distros isn't a decision made lightly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Running [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]'s SaberMod PCFR Build 7 with the latest Faux Kernel on ART is smooth overload. Loving it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shrewdgeek:
I am coming from droidkang to slimrom

Flashed Robbie's latest ROM and the battery on moderate usuage has been amazing...just 12 % down in 11 hours overnight

Impressed with slimrom and Robbie !!!!:highfive:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] indian84:
Is it Monday yet?? Not asking for ETA. Just for fun. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Who needs Monday? [emoji2]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ahepas:
in ubuntu/kubuntu 14.04 , with the nvidia drivers from the repos, u don't need to install bumblebee...just open nvidia settings and from there u can choose which gcard u want to use...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Here's a link to a build form last night.

Same as the awesome Slim, with a little twist-

- Robbie's Lockscreen notifications

- Dankoman's Color Picker

- UBER kernel

so if anyone uses uber, or would like to test out a new kernel, this seems pretty decent.

HUGE thanks to the members of this thread, the mushroom chomping group of champignons :P , fantastic help & guidance. [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION], [MENTION=842211]Grondinm[/MENTION], [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], [MENTION=264345]ralpheboyo[/MENTION]

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atifhasan86:
I'm sorry if this has been asked, believe me, I've read through the last 30 odd pages of the thread, if i DIRTY flash Robbie's build on the current Stable v 6, will it work and also, if and when the Stable 7 is released, will I be able to Dirty Flash it then, assuming a clean wipe is not asked for v 7 ?? Also, any kernel suggestions for good battery life would be very helpful/.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
same base, dirty flash will work.

if issues, dirty flash
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] designori:
No Sabermod toolchain? Because it seems that sabermod breaks some of my installed apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
No sabermod.. built with stock linaro that slim comes with
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] designori:
thanks a lot!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
The ROM is built with the GCC toolchain. Only the kernel is built with linaro, which you replaced.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
ummm.. the kernel is built with linaro 4.8 & the rom with linaro 4.7, no?

anyways no changes done to the tool chain.. haven't reached there yet.. waiting for you to lead the masses :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
The kernel is definitely built with 4.8

AFAIK the ROM is built with GCC because if you delete the the GCC toolchain the ROM won't build.

Unless I'm wrong and slim renamed the linaro toolchain to be GCC but that doesn't sound like something they'd do to me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
I have to say, code blu kernel and 7.0 are the best match ive found so far. Im running the test build witch is sabermod 4.10. I really am speechless. Go try it. Now!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Marescallus:
Have you tried the Linaro 4.9.1 version, and if so, do you find it running better?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Clear play store data after changing dpi and try again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akaHardison:
Is there anyone try flash the newest version in dirty.I don't want to wipe my phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
yes, just flash it
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnbon206:
I just asked one of the testers of jfltetmo (galaxy s4) to see if she had the streaking issue. Curiously, she has a 1080p screen with 361 dpi (same as hammerhead) and not even a hint of streaking in the water.

EDIT:

I figured out a better workaround:

1 Remount /system rw

2 Edit build.prop, Put your DPI to 480

3 Reboot

4 Reset the data on maps

5 Open maps and accept EULA

6 Remount /system rw

7 Edit your build.prop again with the DPI you want (e.g. 361)

8 Reboot

...and its fixed. YMMV

EDIT2.....: I was using 361 for a while without a hint of a problem, then, later, the problem came back, and I couldn't get it to go away anymore. Then I noticed this post which proves that I'm not going crazy: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48805960&postcount=2546

I am on 370 now.

My current/revised method is:

1. Change DPI (as explained above) to something other than the DPI which is causing problems

2. Clear maps data and reopen it, check if it works.

If it doesn't, repeat step 1 and 2 systematically until step 2 shows success
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
I did a clean install from 1.7 to 1.9 New rom, gapps, etc... and everything is working great. No issues to report at all and the new trds looks awesome. The one thing that I found weird when setting up my phone is that my DPI stayed from my last setup even after a clean flash. I had it set on 400 and it was still on 400 after the new install. Is that normal? I have never had that happen before.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
This could happen if "clean" install didn't include mounting then formatting system partition.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnbon206:
the addon.d script is designed to preserve DPI if I am not mistaken. manually wipe /system to clear update scripts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Thanks. So do you guys normally wipe system as well on a clean install? On my old phone, I always wiped system too, but I read that you did not have to do it on Nexus phones unless it was a new version of android. Using the latest twrp.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
I always do. Just in case there are back up scripts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mercado_Negro:
Sometimes it's necessary because like others have said there's an /addon.d folder in /system which contain backup scripts of all sort (from gapps, addons, etc), and this may cause problems when flashing an update.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jimlarck:
Yes and no.

A clean wipe is always recommended and most of the times if a problem comes up and you dirty flashed the first thing anyone will tell you is to flash cleanly.

Regarding the android version thing that's not always the case, it depends on how big the update was, for example, usually you don't have to wipe on x.x.1+ updates(although it is recommended that you do) but on x.1+ updates you usually do.

It all depends on what changes, you can always dirty flash just don't complain when you get some problems, if you do try a clean flash, if the problem persists, then report it to the developer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
How do I get my chrome bookmarks to sync in the aosp browser? I tried flashing the bookmark sync from PA gapps but no luck.( I am using slim aio)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
you can't afaik. both browsers use different bookmarks for sync
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cuzz1369:
I used to be able too. The aosp browser just kinda sucks these days. No options anymore.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
chrome ftw, beta if you're adventurous.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
could be.. I use stock browser since forever and a few times I logged in on chrome, I never did get my bookmarks.. but maybe it's possible..

also gapps could be the issue here
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dillis:
i cant get swiftkey to work just keeps crashing before i can even enable it,like someone was saying earlier,first time its ever happened to me on any slim rom and ive been using since the first alpha
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 0rigin:
I don't use Swiftkey, but both Swype and Adaptxt have crashed before the first use for me too. Go to the language and input and manually select Swiftkey and deselect Android keyboard and you should be fine.

AOSP browser used to sync with Chrome yes, doesn't anymore though. I think I read it somewhere it's being worked on.

Save yourself some troubles and use Chrome.:) Works flawlessly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dillis:
thanks! worked so far
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Always. Only takes a sec and I never have any funky problems.

Don't forget to mount first

Oh, I always use cwm. Last I knew, twrp had a glitch where it wouldn't unmount system, or mount it, can't remember now, beware.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Chrome sucks when it comes to text reflow - nothing like aosp for that.

Opera will reflow properly, and I believe you can sync bookmarks with a google account. I'm using opera now, but never tried bookmark sync. I don't have a lot of bookmarks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby_sucker:
mb it's just the build, as the kernel heavily lags in G+, Taplk, and some popular games
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
ew, is that the official stable 7.0? not even officially released yet and already obsolete :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Yes [emoji20] Haven't had time to learn all this fancy self building and still need some self builders in the Bacon thread. Why must you hate? [emoji2]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
because features from open commits are too much fun :D

and it's not really all that fancy or complicated, once you get started anyway.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] UltimHero:
It takes time to search for the right drivers and right way to install them , other than that it shouldn't be difficult .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FlyinGrub:
[MENTION=507649]devs[/MENTION], wich Linux distro do you use to compile the rom from source (and for your daily driver) ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Builduntu, works straight out of the box. Running it in VMware on a Win 7 host.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I'm not a dev, but I compile the rom myself on Ubuntu. May try Mint soon though. I'm eggint a bit fed up with Ubuntu as my daily driver though, so we'll see.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
Just tried the test build. R244.from what ive read, the only difference is its compiled with 4.10. G+ even taptalk is literally butter smooth
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BrianAllred:
OT, but Mint was the breath of fresh air I needed after using Ubuntu for years. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Yeah I just wish there was an easy way to export all my programmes, cron jobs and configs etc. It's always a pain setting up my ftp/ssh access and what not. I've had to do so many clean installs with Ubuntu, I've kind of been warned off doing anything with it at the moment.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FlyinGrub:
it doesn't support well the 3200*1800 screen of my xps 15 ...

but i will retry soon.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Ahhh I was considering installing it on my Precision M3800, which is pretty much the XPS 15, but I couldn't justify that resolution so I got the 1080 version - guess I was lucky there

Wonder how the touch screen works. Mine keeps turning off in Windows 8.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FlyinGrub:
mine works pretty well :p

i've upgraded him with a little crucial m550, i boot win8 in 10sec.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Is that including log on?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FlyinGrub:
sure : http://youtu.be/0X_GcgqbliI
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I've got a Crucial M500 M-Sata as the secondary and a Kingston HyperX as the Primary...

Mine takes a bit longer to log in, but thats because I have a domain account as a cache profile. Under 20 seconds from off to Desktop, including manually typing in the password.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
Hey all.....

Doesn't look like there are enough builds circulating yet so here's a few more...

Version 7.0, Standard toolchain, slimrecents colour/transparency, that's it, nothing special:

P.S. note to page monitor users, I have switched to another host to test. Update links accordingly. :)

Our build server runs Debian

Arch would be my system of choice but it's a bit too fragile for my taste.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Well grep the official stable 7 build for testers on bacon :p just pushed a new stable build with 2 fixes on kernel side and pushing the volume a bit up on device tree

@ Linux distro......IMHO everything debian based. That being said for home builders linux mint is a good choice.....both versions. Easy and straight forward.

Or you are crazy like [MENTION=3609932]Nebucatnetzer[/MENTION] and use arch :D

Finally

Tick tack tick tack tick tack.....countdown for stable.....

Will try to be next week more present here again. Right now a lot is to do slim wise in the background.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FlyinGrub:
ok i found that after changing the resolution on linux mint live i need to logout and log in to see the scaling changing automaticly :good:

i will choose Mint i think.

Soon a new builder for your great rom :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
I think... I might go back to kubuntu. I like the wigdets ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atharchian:
I don't recall which ROM this feature was on, but it would allow you to Force Close an app by long pressing either an apps notification or Recents Preview.

Does anyone know what it is called? I'd like to cherry pick that if possible.

Edit: Similar to how we can long press a notification and Enable Heads-Up, I'd like a Force Close option as well.

Thanks

Hi, can those of you who use Titanium Backup input on how long their backups take?

When I set it to backup all user and system apps, it takes a good 2.5 hours! I believe with my previous Nexus 4, it was less than 30 minutes? 2.5 hours just seems an absurd amount of time. My total TiBu folder is about 1.5GB and it bacups about 216 items (95 which are system apps). This is on both stock and Elemental X kernels. I haven't underclocked or changed any default SlimRom performance settings either.

My biggest culprits are Textra (SMS app), QuickPic (image viewer), Messages, Pocket (Read it Later), Cerberus, "providers.telephony". Can't really do much with those since I need them. I've already disabled GOogle Music data from being backed up.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] damngood98:
Takes me maybe 5-10 minutes, close to 200 apps. It should not take you that long. Are you syncing/uploading to some sort of cloud service when you're doing it? Dropbox, drive, etc? That's the only reason I could see it taking so long
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey Robbie, just thought I'd let ya know I was trying to download your latest flo build from media fire. I tried in both chrome and dolphin. Well, chrome does nothing and in dolphin it asks for a captcha but doesn't actually show a catch a to enter. Still loving your builds BTW. Intellidemand is working out good for me. A couple more days with it and I'll be able to say for sure on battery longevity. Thanks Robbie :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
Thanks. If Intellidemand works good, I might try to push it to Gerrit & put it in stock Slim. We'll see. As for the problems w/ the link, that's precisely why I post up 2 links. That way, users aren't stuck not being able to get a download.

Also, does anyone know how I can build the ROM & not include an apk? I am wanting to build without camera 2.apk. How would I go about leaving it out of the build?
