Hi! First time installing Slimkat to my phone. When usually they release weekly builds? Should i flash existing build or wait for the next weekly?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BigGiantFish:
Usually they drop on Sunday/Monday depending on where in the world your are and where on Jenkins' list they are. There are also many private builders here creating mid week, daily, nightly, hourly and in special cases minutely builds.

Sent using a Slim ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:

about whatsapp... white screen only happens if you press back button to exit the app.

if you press home, don't occur.

I noticed this problem since December/2013, if I not mistaken.

Using ART minimize the time of white screen, but still occurs.

I tested in no root devices, with stock roms, and is even worse.

so, not Rom related, app only.

ps: and I use whatsapp+ [emoji6]

Question - how are some of you managing to build in 60-90 mins?

I just clean built Slim & it took 4 hours..

running on virtual box on imac

vm specs- 12gb ram & 250gb hdd allocated, all 4 cores

imac is the late 2012 27" model - 3.2ghz i5 with 24gb ram

:confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
How do you clean before a new build?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lovejoy777:
make installclean
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
no no

i meant i completely deleted all the source files & started with a fresh repo sync.

just the build took me 4 hours.. no ccache though it won't matter on the first build
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
The way we build in less than an hour is by doing make installclean instead of make clean after our previous build.

First builds take a loooong time
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I have a dedicated Linux box in my home.

Up until a couple years ago, it was a file server that stored every important file for the family (photos, music, resumes, etc). It handled backups and cloud storage all by itself, automatically. Multiple hard drive failures over the last 15 years, and I still haven't lost a file.

Soon after I got my Gnex, I learned how to build a ROM. Every morning at 4am, it builds again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fusionjack:
first, i never heard that 'make clobber' will wipe ccache. perhaps in non-android world it would, but i don't know.

second, 'make clobber' is the same with 'make clean' and never touch ccache, here is the proof:

https://github.com/SlimRoms/android_build/blob/kk4.4/core/main.mk#L936

it just called 'clean' and remove the 'out' folder...lol :D

open this file build/core/build-system.html in your browser and you'll know about android's 'make clobber'

in order to use ccache fully, you need to set the ccache size big enough. by default it only set to 1 GB and kitkat needs at least 8 GB ccache.

so, if i'm not mistaken of your build situation, the 15-20 minutes is the time that you need for building rom without wiping 'out' folder (depends which part is touched. if the entire java part is touched, the build takes longer) and 70-80 minutes is the time for building a rom with an empty 'out' folder. now it depends whether you set the ccache size or not...if you don't set it then it is the time with only 1 GB ccache.

if you still unsure whether 'make clobber' is wiping ccache or not, you can check ccache content with "prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -s" after doing 'make clobber'.

i do rom building a lot and i never seen that the ccache gets wiped without manual wiping (ccache -C)...well it happens once when i mixed up between 'linux host ccache' and 'prebuilt android ccache'. my fault...

on other topic, i did experiment yesterday concerning 'changing/updating toolchain needs to wipe ccache'. some builders claim that it needs to be done, otherwise the rom/kernel is built based on previous toolchain. well...based on my experiment yesterday, it is not true. ccache is clever enough to detect such a situation when it should use cache or should create a new cache.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Yeah it's much better to dedicate the hardware to the task. I also have my laptop dedicated to linux. It's only an arrandale i5 with 8 GB RAM and an SSD but it sure does the job.

I wish there was an easy way to time a build though. Like if I could kick off a build via bash it would be great.

I tried using ccache yesterday but my zips came out corrupt. But even without it my builds are under an hour after make installclean.. Ill test again soon. Just doing a clean build (make clean) with linaro.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lovejoy777:
what changes for linaro. pleeeese. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Have a look at the link [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION] posted a few pages back.

Essentially download and put in the gcc directory and make a small change to envsetup.sh

Surprisingly simple actually.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I sent a pm with a link to my build script. If your machine is always running, crontab -e to run it every day.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Thanks. It is always on. My main problem was that I can't get it to understand "source" and "lunch" as commands.

I'll have a look. Thanks very much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] docck:
[MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] do you will make all your future builds with dt2s disable or those who use this feature can hope for builds in which it'll be enable?

i think i have some blobs missing..

the build won't boot... getting stuck in the initial google screen..

i used these sources as the local_manifest:

Which get replaced with slim_manifest with these:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Because for me it often interprets single tap as double tap. This means when I try to pull down notification area, my screen turns off. I know this isnt true for everybody but it is true for me.

Also I spend 2.5 hours on a bouncy bus every day so often I will accidentally double tap when want to pull down the notification area. This too leads to my screen turning off.

It's very frustrating so I just build my own tons without it now.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Please use code tags in future. I cannot quote if you use quote tags.

This is what you should have. Looks like you're missing 2 projects

<manifest>
<project name="TheLoonyBin/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="kk4.4" />
<project name="TheLoonyBin/proprietary_vendor_qcom" path="vendor/qcom" remote="github" revision="kk4.4" />

This is the full local manifest

Another handy thing is "at now + 1 min < [path-to-script]"

This way you can login to your build machine trough ssh and kick off a build without having to maintain the connection to your build machine.

Very convenient for building on the go with the phone :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
So for those running [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]'s build with strict aliasing and whatnot on top of SaberMod, is there a notable difference? I'm running the unmodified build he did with SaberMod only and there seems to be some improvement (I noticed especially that the initial boot after building ART, which normally takes very long to finish with SU toasts, went quicker). I may learn to live without dt2s if there's a reason.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm extremely novice when it comes to building, my knowledge goes as far as cherry picking, and even that I've only done once.

Since were talking about this I'll share what I do when I build and maybe someone can point out anything I could do better.

I know I downloaded ccache but don't recall if I set it up, I don't think I have because builds take quite a while...I'm not sure how long because I usually set it and forget it and check a few hours later...Id say that it takes less than 2 1/2 hours.

I make clean before anything every time, then I do repo sync -f -j24 then I build using mka bacon && lunch slim_hammerhead-userdebug

[MENTION=5190980]InkSlinger420[/MENTION] helps me usually and got me set up with Linux originally and from what he told me if I'm doing mka bacon as opposed to make bacon than I don't need a j flag because mka optimizes the machine. I was using a j flag with mka and my builds failed no matter what j flag I used so that makes sense that a j flag isn't necessary with mka. My question is why does anyone use make and a j flag as opposed to mka if everything I've said so far is true about mka vs. make?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Mka dynamically uses what it needs so no need to use j flag

You're using -j24 when you're repo syncing.. How did you afford to buy a 24 core machine? What cpu / cpus do you have?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
It's repo sync so it depends on network speed ...:)

Hey Guys,

I installed 6.6 last week and I don't know if I did something but I noticed that the "OK Google" on all screens doesnt work all the time.

I mean sometimes its fine but recently, 80% of the time, it doesnt work. Sometimes I fix it by "Delete Voice Model" and start all over again and it will end up not working again.

I never had this issue with 6.4 and I was both using Franco R57.

Its not a big deal but I just want to know what I can do to fix this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
speaking of building. i'm trying to start building again. i'm in the middle of a repo sync atm. but i was wondering if someone can tell me about the loony stuff? is that needed still? can't find the right information about it in this thread. if i can get a basic build going again i wanna learn how to cherry pick and such so i can be on the bleeding edge with the rest of yous guys :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
Finally beat someone and it happened to be the great [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION]

As for build times. I'm using a dual core amd with 4 gigs ram and clean no ccache takes 6 to 7 hours. With ccache 2.5 and using make install clean it took 1.5 hours.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Haha yeah no 24 core machine...although doesn't the j flag correspond to threads not cores? So if I have a hyper threaded i5 or 7 that is dual core I would use what j flag? My power is out right now due to thunderstorms(metro Detroit, MI) so I can't look at my family's desktop which I use to build(I use team viewer to remotely access their desktop to build since its faster than my laptop, I know its a quad core with 8gb of RAM just not sure if its AMD or Intel...I think its AMD)

And to answer your question I have AT&T Uverse 18.0mbps. I use 24 only because I asked someone what they use and they said 24 or 36 so I use 24 with no idea why.

What exactly do the numbers in a j flag represent when building & repo syncing? I had thought it was per CPU thread for building but no idea what for when syncing.

And again I ask why use a j flag and make as opposed to mka?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm still wondering why the loomeybin stuff is required if we know its missing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aow1980:
It's the proprietary files needed for the build. Slim removed them from the manifest to avoid problems due to legal stuff. So know you have to get them a secondary way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Garrykd:
For legal reasons. Recently Qualcomm as well as other manufacturers have taken down/blocked github repos that contained their proprietary binaries. To avoid the entire slim github going down (bad) the questionable repos are now held in a separate location. If they are blocked/taken down they can be replaced with another repo and the main slim repo is not affected. It's just a minor inconvenience :)

Edit.... and I seem to have been ninja'd again... by the same ninja :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Though Qualcomm did later backtrack on the takedown notice. Still better safe than sorry though. http://goo.gl/iQSgfc
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
Yeah I saw that and that's why I was unsure if it was needed still. But if the Slim team wants to keep it out just avoid future issues I can understand that. It's not very hard to get them when you wanna build.

i think those are created any time [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] changes something or adds something. so they are like instabuilds of whatever he is working on. in my experience they are just fine to use, kind of like how the ROM has weeklies. sometimes there are minor bugs but they usually get addressed quickly and another gapps build pops out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
I wouldn't know, I just would like a dark youtube app. I figured one from the latest beta gapps.

As far as i know, they just have the latest updates and tweaks from the devs. when their deemed stable or at a stable point then their updated to the regular add on section.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drali500:
What is the difference between this version and the official weekly one.

Downloading this as Jenkins didn't finish the build yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] efan3719:
If it's just a standard build that just means he did a repo sync and built it using his machine instead of waiting for Jenkins. Should be essentially the same as the next weekly. Though remember that you should only really expect support on the official Slim builds and if there's something wrong with his build for whatever reason it'd be best to wait for the weekly and flash it before making a bug report.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] davemlinux:
Q?

Mr Jenkins what is the status of our 6.8 build? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
It corresponds to jobs which should vs be per core (physical and virtual)

i5 is -j4 (mobile is 2 core x 2, desktop is 4 core x1 )

i7 is -j4 to -j8 (depending if you dual or quad core)

Again, no reason to use -j flag with a build. Use mka.
