Not recommended.

Best practice is to wipe system and flash ROM and latest gapps.

But as mentioned already you are on stable 8 so I recommend clean flash to weekly 8.10 and slim beta gapps 352.

I'm editing all my multi posts.

Beta gapps 352 of course :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bart.found:
try a dirty flash, wipe cache and dalvik ->flash last weekly ->flash last beta GApps -> flash your favourite kernel (optional) -> reboot!!

usually it works like a charm... if it doesn't you can always do a clean flash
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
Okay okay, I got it :D I'm going to do a clean flash but seems like download servers are really busy today - I'm downloading like 60 kB/s on a 10 Mbit connection. I will do a backup in a meantime.

Thanks once again. Having a new device as Nexus 5 seems to be completely different from using the ol' Desire Z. :)

One last thing - by "clean flash" you mean to just wipe 'system' and flash the ROM+Gapps? Or maybe I should wipe cache as well?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bart.found:
system, dalvik, cache, data ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
Cancel and try in few minutes. You should get between 0.5 and 2.5Mb/s download.

8.10 was released today so everybody is downloading ;)

You can try updating with dirty flash first, but wipe system manually to be sure all old stuff is removed and backup scripts don't mess up.

Of course do nandroid first.

Probably all be fine but in case of trouble see my Tapatalk signature below ;)

If I actually download it today... Had two power outages in during that hour which interrupted my download twice.

Which way of transferring files do you recommend? I connected my phone using USB cable a few times but it's driving me nuts - I'm getting random transfer interruptions and it already flushed my data once. I'm using FTPDroid atm and I was wondering if there is something more convenient.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lightingcloud:
I usually transfer files via AirDroid, it's fast and I don't have to rely on Windows' file transfer via MTP, which I really hate.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
Ahm. Download via phone?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coolek33:
That's how I do it :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
Can you precise?

If you mean connecting a phone to a PC with an USB cable - I will never do it again (except in recovery mode I guess).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
No, I mean "download the ROM/Kernel whatever on your phone via your preferred browser" not via a PC.

Since 4 years. It simply works. No PC, no cable involved.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
It looks you are making things harder they actually are.

Open slimroms.net in browser on your phone. Go to beta gapps folder. Tap the latest normal, mini or full to your liking, tap download button and wait when it finishes.

Check checksums.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
I guess I'm still used to the fact that my previous phone couldn't download most of the files directly from the browser... I got it sorted already. I asked about other methods not just because I had problems with copying the .zips...

i dont think this normal... just flashed the newest build and came from franco ... i planned on keeping the kernel.....okay it evened out while typung but what was the problem? is the slim kernel this aggresive .... because its all over the place right now ^^
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Nice one :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Natakranta:
I'm guessing it's Slim governor. When you look at it in perf monitor cores are jumping up and down. I don't know what it is and how it works, that was kufi's magic when he was working on Slim karnel for N5 in spring. Fact it's it is smooth and it is battery friendly despite what perf monitor shows. Winter-early spring I used to flash ElementalX as it was stable, fast, battery friendly, flash and forget karnel (and still is). Since kufi mastered Slim karnel for N5 in spring I stopped flashing ElementalX with ROM, there was just no need for it, I was getting the same great results with Slim karnel, so I had no reason to flash external karnels.

Give Slim karnel a chance for 3 days. You will not be disappointed.

You can always change governor with trickster.

"Give Slim karnel a chance for 3 days. You will not be disappointed." Not to be picky, but I assume you meant "CARNAL"? (Or maybe kernel, but I don't think that's nearly as good...)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Hello fellow Slim users. Have you been enjoying the latest Slim release? How about that awesome Slim Launcher? Well the hard working dev behind Slim Launcher, [MENTION=4527723]gmillz[/MENTION] , is currently phoneless. He's got terrible bad luck and very limited funds to purchase a new phone with. So if you've been thinking about donating to Slim, now would be a great time to throw a few bucks Griff's way. Every little bit helps. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scirio:
Possibly a stupid question

I noticed in the system settings that there is a superuser section (just above About Phone).

Does that mean that A) there is a native superuser built in to the rom and B) I can uninstall other superuser apps I may have installed via the market?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] radicalisto:
Yeah the QA Bot has been opening threads, not sure if the developers have asked for it or it's an auto feature built into XDA now which monitors thread activity.

Don't see the point of it for this thread at least, as it's on/off topics here are discussed well and aren't frowned upon. However, can kinda see a little method to the madness in the fact people don't have to search thru a few days of general conversation for certain info.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other lol

I've upgraded from 4.4.4-build8 to latest 4.4.8 for grouper (Nexus 1) build using the 'dirty flash' option. Everything went fine except that Google Play services isn't installed. I'm also receiving alerts like 'Google play services error' or 'An application requires installation of Goo...'. I followed all the steps as detailed in the 'Installation' page for the dirty flahs option. The first time I installed the slim_mini_gapps version, then I tried the normal version. Last, I repeated all the process, reflashed once again the ROM then gapps, but I'm still having the same error. Any ideas? thanks!

Volume panel timeout

Hi,

could anyone help me with volume panel timeout? What I want to achieve is that the volume panel stays visible less time when changing volume. I KNOW it can be done because I had it done in my previous setup before flashing anew. But now I've looked in every possible setting and can't find the timeout setting.

Will appreciate any ideas!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
i'm not aware that slim ever had this setting. i do like it however, and i'll try to get implemented in slim after the lollipop things are settled.

omni has it:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
There's not a stable "branch". This isn't like CM. A stable build is the same as a weekly build, except that it's been tested more to make sure all known bugs are squashed and it deserves the name stable. This is why the weeklies for Slim are so rock solid, the team isn't throwing stuff in there willy nilly and not caring if other stuff gets broken. But I'm repeating myself, because I already said this isn't like CM.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kapiroski:
It must be possible to do somehow. Probably with some xposed tool or something if not directly in the rom. Maybe editing some build.prop value? I used slimkat 8.4 on this same nexus 5 device that I have now, just did a clean flash to 8.10. For sure the solution is out there somewhere because I had it done, the question is how ... :)

Appreciate responding anyway!

I've very briefly used one just to print something and couldn't really tell much difference between it and Windows. I can't speak for programs and their compatibility or anything like that though.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark_ente:
Thanks for the speedy respond. I have another request if you don't mind. That is "automatic vibrate when in pocket", it means when there's an incoming call and the phone is in the pocket (i.e. proximity sensor on) then the phone will vibrate, if the phone is on the table then it won't vibrate.

Hopefully you find the idea good and easy to do. Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Yeah, XUI module has that and that's how I did it for now. Thanks for suggesting! 500ms timeout for the volume panel - perfect.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dankoman:
uh, what rom are you using (i sure hope it's slim if you're posting here lol). if it is slim, just be patient, and the feature will get merged into slim's source eventually.

or you could do your own build and cherry-pick the commits into it.

edit: or i could do a build for you if you tell me what device you're using.

neither am i. and the only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kapiroski:
Yes - Slimkat 8.10, running beautifully! OK clear, I'll wait then for when it's merged in. Doing my own build ... sounds like stepping up to the next level, probably have to educate myself over the weekend.
