I think you mean some ROM builders are more equal than others.

But.... in the big picture, when you are at most 7 days behind the curve, it's an uneven exchange for the ROM we get from SlimTeam.

In case I wasn't clear, SlimROM is worth any 7 day wait. We give little(nothing) and get a bunch.

Hey bud. What apk do I need to decompile to add the L icons into the build natively?

Edit - Frameworks-res?

Nope, systemui.apk

But why would you want to bother? Just replace the icons in your local repo before building.

You can even push the draft commit to gerrit after making the changes (keep it was a draft if only you plan to use it though)

off topic,

I have a question for the top developers, or those experienced devs, I'd like to learn alot of this stuff, not just making roms, etc. But I would like to persue a career with computers/cellphones.

What would you recommend I need to learn, I saw someone suggested that this stuff requires some knowladge with c++ and java.

I want to goto collage, maybe just a community collage, doubt Ill be able to go to a big time collage, but what would you recommend for some courses or just general things I'd need to learn to help me get to where I want to be.

Thank you for your time. And all your hard work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ryukiri:
I'm about to go to the same path too...about to apply to college. I took AP Computer Science this past year and it was a huge help since most of Android is in Java (especially the apps). I'd say go learn Java and C if you can. Then just start playing around with the source code, make a few apps or so, compile ROMs, etc. Anything you can to get yourself familiar with the workspace.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
Thats exactly what im wanting to do. Thanks for the suggestion! What is AP computer science?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ryukiri:
I believe only schools in the US offer AP classes, but I'm not sure. Its basically a college level computer science class. Since I took it and passed the exam at the end of the year, I would not need to take the entry level Java class when I go to college (saves money and time).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Andromendous:
Ok i get it. Ill look into it. Is this something i could take at a community collage type deal?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ryukiri:
I'm not sure...go research some schools in your area for java classes or something. I'm not really planning to go to a community college so I haven't done any research with what they offer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aoaleman:
Usually community colleges have their own programs/curriculum. If you plan to eventually end up at a four-year university, only take your core/basics to get those to transfer. Verify that they ALL will transfer.

If you're planning to just stick with community college, many offer Computer Science associates degrees/certificates/etc.

Check out colleges/universities you're thinking about. Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RobbieL811:
No matter what you do, or where you go to school, do not spell knowledge as "knowladge" on your resume. Lol. Just messing with you. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lol. Or you could just move to Germany & live w/ Kufi for 4 years! You would probably learn more there than at a university!

Here's a build I just did. I was playing around a little & added the new L nav bar keys instead of Kit Kat ones. Kernel under clock down to 96 MHz. Kernel built w/ Boosted 4.9. Seems to be running really well. If you don't like the Android L nav bar keys, I pulled the old ones from source. They can be found here in my Dropbox. You can change them back to the old ones once you boot the ROM.

Is your ROM built with SaberMOD or Linaro toolchain? Does it actually help to have the ROM built with these toolchain, anyway? I have been using Minux's builds of Slim, which uses SaberMOD. It run very smooth but I am not sure if it is just placebo effect.

Can you pls kindly shed some light on this?

In this build, the ROM was compiled w/ whatever Slim has set as stock. It's definitely GCC 4.7. I think it is just stock GCC 4.7. I compiled the kernel w/ the Boosted 4.9 toolchain. It seems to be running as smooth as it possibly could to me. It may add a little bit of snappiness, but I think personally that most of the "smoothness" comes from the optimizations, & how it was compiled, vs what it was compiled w/. Our devices are so damn fast already anyways, I don't really see how it can get a whole lot faster.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ausaras:
So, I guess it doesn't really matter since we probably won't perceive the difference then?

I will try out your build to see what happens. Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hopper8:
I concur for this device. It's already crazy fast. But the optimisations seem to add SOT, on fusionjack's builds for S2 vs official slimkat its good for 30-45 mins SOT.

what exactly is multi dpi then?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moh Kohn:
When I use my wife's stock nexus 5 it feels like I'm using a toy phone, everything feels sooooooo big.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Multi dpi means the apps you are shown in play store are not restricted to the dpi you have set. For example, some games may not be available for all dpi, so when you use a non-stock dpi, you could be missing apps.

Yeah it's like
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Due of our [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] Philz :D

But tbh on hammerhead both are good. What I like on philz is the menu point to prepare phone for a new ROM which formats system as well. Easier for the beginner IMO

And sorry I am not much online yesterday and today....helping a friend to refurbish her flat lol

Thanks.

I'm using TWRP since I got my N5 but I think I'll test Philz.

TWRP - Doesn't have secure recovery lock

Philz - Doesn't have multirom support.

Guys what's the easiest way to make the dpi persist after each rom flash (I don't know why but I love the 420 :) ) ? I found that there is a 99-backup.sh script in addon.d and inside it there is a value persist_lcd_density=1 , if I would set it to 0 will it be enough?

Edit one of my zips from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5...stable-5-0-t2511512/post50076717#post50076717

Take one of the zips (440 for example). Open the zip and edit /system/build_prop.sh and replace whatever number in teh script corresponding with the file name, with the dpi you want. Flash it after flashing the rom.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] and313:
The only complaint i have right now is that the recent apps can only be cleared with a pinch. It would be awesome to just press the recent button again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jax Teller:
Basically, you shouldn't clear them at all.;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Given how android manages memory, there is no need to ever clear all recent apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] and313:
Well you right about that... But sometimes some apps drain the battery and you could just easily close them all to prevent that... Thats it
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Find such app(s)(with BBS or Gsam or a wakelock detector), Greenify it/them, done :p You don't even have to worry about them restarting and keep draining after you cleared them in recents.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mko000:
Oh no, not the recents discussion again. I'm happy with the pinch to clear all compromise. But just to add another perspective to the discussion:

I use the clear all functionality not to clear my RAM (who cares?) but to clear the apps that show up in recents.

For example: I want to do something on the phone which involves a workflow of three apps. So I'd use the clear all button, do the work switching between the three apps I need, and when I'm done and won't be needing this workflow for a while I'd like to use a clear all button to remove the apps from the recents screen.

tl;dr: I want to be in control of which apps show up in recents.

That's why the argument "Android manages memory on it's own" doesn't apply to me and maybe others - that's not my reason for wanting and using the functionality.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
You realize what you wanted to do can be done without clearing recents right? If you workflow consists of switching between 3 apps constantly then the 2 you are not currently using would be the bottom 2 in your Slim Recent no matter how many other apps you are running, not clearing other apps from recent wouldn't interfere with the workflow you are describing at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mko000:
I wouldn't want any other apps cluttering up the recents though. Makes it easier to navigate (for me). Also, I just don't like having an app in there that I won't be needing for, say, the next 24 hours.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Anrikus:
I think you are looking for a different tool for your task.

Recents are strongly involved with the memory management by default.

So recents it's a tool to switch between the latest tasks and also manage the RAM.

You are looking for a tool to switch between certain tasks without caring for the memory.

In other words saying something like "... doesn't apply to me and maybe others" is like trying to pin a nail into the wall with a percussion drill.

It could work, but it's a mess. Just because you didn't care about the mess doesn't mean the tool is the correct one, or you should use it that way.

I know inbuild solutions are nice and often better, but did you try for example Switchr - App Switcher
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
The other apps are minimized and the ones you like to switch to (since you just used them) are maximized, SlimRecent is already reducing app clutter & very easy to navigate(a strong point of Slim Recent vs AOSP recent).

Plus that app you don't need for the next 24 hour will be frozen in memory and not consume any cpu cycle anyway(if you don't like it doing background sync then set it to auto-hibernate upon exit), so what is exactly wrong with having it in your slim recent(if you use enough other apps after closing that one app it won't show up in your slim recent anyway.)?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mko000:
I just don't like having open apps I'm not gonna use. I close browser tabs I don't need. I close programs on my PC I don't need. I close files in Visual Studio I don't need. I wanna decide which apps are "open" and show up in my recents. That's just how it is. I don't see the need to explain myself for that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
You don't have to explain yourself for your unused tab/app OCD, and you don't have to have rational reason behind wanting to clear all recents (you have none). I am just stating how I (and probably the majority of the Slim dev community) view the subject of the Slim Recent Clear All option.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chikimonke:
So with the recent influx of the dreaded "clear all" discussions, it got me thinking. [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION] would it be possible for Slim to check and see if Greenify is installed, and if so, Greenify apps, rather than clearing them from memory? Or maybe swiping an app to the left is clear and right is Greenify (switchable in settings of course). Similarly, Pinch In is Greenify, pinch out is clear all, but maybe a starred app only gets Greenified when the clear all gesture is performed? Just a thought, would be a pretty cool a unique feature.

Slim recents!? Sorry I've been left behind a while, I know what it is but there's a lot of discussion and I'm lost, like now if u clear all apps does it actually kill the apps out of current Ram or does it simply remove it from the multitasking overlay, AFAIK most apps wouldn't get shut out of memory by clearing from any recents menu, so if this new clear from recents and app dies feature is there I'm definitely trying out Slim again just for that! :D anyone can confirm?

(short...)

I tested (in my daily use):

1. with and without Greenify -

no difference in battery

2. clear all and clear nothing in recents -

no difference in battery

3. with and without s2w/dt2w -

no great difference in battery (30min or a little more, maybe)

and other little things... [emoji16]

fact is... don't "blame" a Rom feature, or kernel feature and use battery life as excuses for ask changes in something.

I don't know nobody that had more than 7h30... 8h SOT because use or don't use any feature/app.

everybody is around... 5h30... 7h SOT Max.

even when Change kernel or something...

so... Slim have your features... like other Roms have yours... just... live with it. or find a way to change it by yourself... using xposed... cooking own Rom... or even change Rom...

[emoji4]

but this kind of excuse for one or other feature interfere in battery or something else... I don't see it.

or... at least don't see anybody proving with tests a so great difference.

better cut pinch... and button... and recents will be free to go [emoji16]

(not so short... sorry)
