Hi folks, here a test build to see if my Debian installation is working properly. I will still add a few things and then update second and third post.

Basically replicated latest data from AOSP servers plus a few minor things.

1. Added AdHoc network connection possibility; delete screenshot button; two line layout for status bar date

https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_frameworks_base/commits/kitkat-mr1-release

2. Enabled Krait bionic optimisations

https://github.com/GeyerA/device_lge_hammerhead/commits/master

3. Launcher 3

https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_packages_apps_Launcher3/commits/master

Download and have FUN :)

Obsolete - uploading new build right now
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Just received my replacement so it'll probably be a few days before I unlock/root etc. I was thinking about keeping it stock to get 4.4.3... for about 45 minutes lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hey Sinclair, it is like choosing to stay with an ugly lady or enjoy sex and drugs and rock'n roll for 45 minutes. Better short and excessive than long and boring ... :) however, to be fair, we are close to stock so our lady is not bad at all...

BTW, I tried to add gcc4.8-linaro but did not succeed. I am not sure about the increase of smoothness / battery life since our ROM is pretty slick and fluid :)

If anybody got some feedback on this....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Yeah, flashed it already lol. Stock on my new(er) N5 seemed faster, so did a few tests and it seems to be the Xposed modules slow it down considerably (I had quite a few installed). So flashed the latest, no tinkering except MOAB ad blocking and it's as it should be. Just going to try ART again. Probably the only things I'd really like would be a permanent menu button on the navbar, and a centre clock option, but I can live without them ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinclair, this will make up for the Navbar customisation which I did not manage to implement. Have a look; you are going to love this. Starting to upload right now.

Is the using weather widget on the first page in the Google play store?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, no clue what you mean. Are you speaking about the Current Widget? It is in the Play Store. Else I use Beautiful Widgets.

For the rest, second post with version Lord Sinclair is up, change log and third post with screenshots are updated. I added a bunch of small things plus Slims clock and date customisation. I was also after this for a while. Actually Sinclair is the culprit since he wanted centre clock :) Enjoy and hiiiittttt THANKS for Calo's easter weekend :)

Hi, this is Chronus and in the Play Store....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Very nice, looking forward to it ;)

Just noticed it's up, d/ling it as I write. An update named after me? wow, sono onorato! ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Anyone else having a problem with downloads not opening? When I hit the downloads app it doesn't open. Also...whenever I go to settings>>>display>>>status bar the network speed indicator automatically turns itself on. I don't want it on but when ever I enter the status bar tweaks it automatically turns itself on. Not a huge deal but I just wanted to see if anyone else is seeing these two things. Other than that its extremely smooth. Thank you OP
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Good morning, just downloaded from my phone. All working so can not give more input.

The network speed indicator is switched on by default and can be switched off. If you get problems, my only idea is that you did not do a clean install....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
You may need to wipe your cache and dalvik cache in recovery, should fix it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Thanks for the feedback guys...I always clean flash so I knew it wasn't that...it must've been a bad download because I downloaded it again and everything is working properly. I should have tried that first. Thanks a million this ROM is awesome OP. Definitely my daily driver with Franco kernel
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
A little feedback while I'm free. I'm using ART with Multirom (I still have the urge to flash various roms/mods) and purified kernel, which seems to be my best setup so far. Extremely good battery life, fluid, and 100% stable. Haven't found anything on xda that I can say is better, or even equal, to this rom (not that I'm particularly looking :p)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Same. I have to say that I always try Roms when they are updated just to see them but I always come back to this. Nothing like it. Just the right amount of customization. It's perfect.

Hi folks, was spending a lot of time on the Maguro build (graphical glitches problem). Since this was solved I tried to compile with the 4.8 linaro toolchain and seemed working. I also made one for the Hammer - second post is updated with "Experimental build" download link...I really do not know as everything flew already before; maybe somebody of you can run a benchmark before you flash (and afterwards) and post the results here :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I think the wiping script needs to be tweaked a bit. I waited over 10 minutes for it to flash in TWRP and finally just gave up.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] sorceforge:
When you wiped the all partitions, reboot the recovery or unmount and remount the system partition. Even if you do this, the wait would be longer than other roms, but the rom would be able to be installed. :D

[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I did do that...I wiped data and cache and system and dalvik...then I went to mounts and unmounted system...it didn't flash within 10 minutes so I gave up...way too long to wait

This ROM is superb, it has everything that I was looking for and not a bunch of useless stuff. Thanks OP
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, some statistics from downloads

Version 4.8 linaro:

1. Hammerhead - 19 downloads - 4 times thanks button - top country US (36%) - 47% Android

2. Mako - 17 downloads - 2 times thanks button - top country Indonesia (17%) - 52% Windows (my lord)

3. Maguro - 14 downloads - 4 times thanks button - top country Italy (21%) - 42% Windows

Normal version:

1. Hammerhead - 46 downloads - 3 times thanks button - top country US (47%) - 54% Android

2. Mako - 26 downloads - 4 times thanks button - top country Paraguay (30%) - 69% Windows (HELP, there is something like dual-boot)

3. Maguro - 110 downloads - 4 times thanks button - top country India (22%) - 60% Windows (there is always hope)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Not tried your linaro build yet, been a little busy. I'll flash it tonight, probably ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] littleguevara:
Silly question perhaps but why is this AOSP different than the AOSP the N5 ships with?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, there are no silly questions :)

Our AOSP (around 165MB) is different since I removed a lot of applications which are basically in the Google factory image (350MB). You can get all these applications from the play store afterwards.....

Secondly, if you go to the second post and feature list, then you find a few mods which I considered useful (customised LED settings, Volume wake, embedded SU, quick-pulldown, Lockscreen notifications and many others....). I think staying close to stock AOSP is important but a few enhancements make our devices much more attractive and useful.;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jwhyte:
[MENTION=1687873]GeyerA[/MENTION] nice job. Flashed your linaro build last night and loving it with GB for added quick settings. I know it's aosp so not a feature request... The only thing I miss is slim recents.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, thanks....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
OK, that's a week (almost) since flashing the latest build so a little feedback. No issues at all, the linaro update has definitely improved the smoothness and speed, though it's more noticeable when using Dalvik runtime. Battery life is great as always. Still trying to find faults but it's hard work lol. Thanks again Andreas ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi friends. I had some time since the Maguro which I bought on Ebay had a broken micro USB.

Check the App Circle in the PIC. I will test for a day. The check box in the setting does not stick though...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Checkbox sticks; Credit to snak3ater !! Will test for a few days and also recompile after syncing the tree from Google since I found my bluetooth not working with my Alpine car stereo anymore. Sinkster, hit me up with a pm if you want to test during the weekend....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinkster, have you had time to test the build. I experience problems on bluetooth since I synced with AOSP....the strange thing, my new build for Maguro works just fine when it comes to bluetooth....please let me know.:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I'm in the car all day for work if you'd like someone else to test Bluetooth for you, it would be my pleasure...still running the 4/27 build running great thanks [MENTION=1687873]GeyerA[/MENTION]

Hi, thanks. Here the download...http://sourceforge.net/projects/hammerbuild/files/GeyerA_aosp_hammerhead-ota-2014-05-09.zip/download

I made a new version in the mean-time (all frameworks_native commits for Maguro removed) but still could not connect to bluetooth despite having the old paired connection. BTW, enjoy the Apps-Circle. You can find under Display Settings/Status Bar :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Awesome...very cool feature...Do you want a logcat for BT?

Sent from my Google/LGE Nexus 5 Hammerhead
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, no just try and see. I am compiling right now since I believe / hope the linaro 4.8 was the culprit.....if it does not work, you can of course post a logcat here :)

Update, still did not work...I will continue to check tomorrow. :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
I'm having a bit of a wild weekend, so a little late with my feedback... Running smooth and stable as always, and the app circle is a handy feature, I'd keep that. I can't connect to any bluetooth devices, as you said, but voice dialling works for me (it's not a feature I use tbh so I can't tell how well it it is or isn't performing, or compare to previous builds). Tried it with the stock kernel for a couple of days as it still provides the best battery life/performance balance, but I'm missing some custom kernel features (mainly fast charge) so I'll change that today. If any other issues manifest themselves I'll let you know ASAP. Thanks again Andreas ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mcscruff:
Just thought I would add my bit, been using this rom for a while and no issues

Great battery, good times
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinkster, never mind on the late feedback. I worked some time on the ROM but did not progress too much. Reverted a few commits but all did not get me the bluetooth back on track. I have no clue what could have made it turn bad. I will come back later this week as I also got a strange issue on the Maguro with the Camera....good start into the week :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Good morning, I need your help since I am clueless for a week now. I synced the code from AOSP one week ago and since then I have no way to get my bluetooth working anymore. My old build just worked / works fine; latest builds neither connect to my Alpine car stereo nor to my Bose sounddock...any help or indication is highly appreciated !
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Sorry I can't help you there, Andreas. The last time I compiled anything was a COBOL debug about 14 years ago lol. One thing I have noticed is that better battery stats can't get full root access for some reason. Tried with and without Xposed, with SuperSU and Superuser, ART and Dalvik but always fails to get dump access for partial wakelocks yet it worked in your previous build. Also noticed that the d/l speed in notification checkbox won't stay unchecked. It's a bit of a Schrödinger's cat, if unchecked it won't show in the status bar but if you enter display settings it checks and shows. Anyway, apart from that no issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Good morning, news from the probably most stupid person in the world. Found my mistake; sometimes you should step back and think logically instead trying to fix quickly. I missed the binaries since I deleted my vendor folder to sync from other developers for the Maguro and missed to add back the broadcom stuff for Hammerhead. What a shame - however, lets move on and bring back the app circle...I hope to find a few hours tonight.:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi folks, new build is up. Inner Circle (City) good life - added AppCircle Sidebar and fixed all issues which came with the Maguro build. Full steam ahead as the Mako build is compiling as I am writing. Second and third post is updated - enjoy and feedback your impression. :)

UPDATE, I know that many users are English native but still want to promote a project of my friend and colleague's son who wrote an app to learn Dutch. Have a look and give it a try; his son is just 11 years old :good:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi folks, micro update since I re-checked the embedded Superuser and added a commit to speed up boot. Second post is updated. No need to wipe, just flash. I am off for 10 days then for a business trip. :)

Great ROM and just what I need.... Any recommended kernels? I tried the cold blue kernel but it messed a few things up so got rid of it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Code Blue works for me, but to be honest the stock kernel's the best when it comes to battery life/speed balance. Franco's is good, obviously, but it's really best to try one for a few days to see if it suits your usage.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ace9988:
which version did you install and any special instructions for installing kernels on N5s? Treat me like a newbie to the N5 after a few generations of HTC
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JamesPumaEnjoi:
All you really have to worry about when trying kernels is CAF vs Non-CAF based kernels & ROMs...CyanogenMod switched to CAF based with 4.4 KitKat...I won't get into what that means here...you can look it up if you really want to know what it means...but basically AOSP ROMs will only work with non-CAF based Kernels like Franco and Uber...some kernel devs make both versions. Long story short...CM is CAF based so only used CAF based kernels. Everything else like AOSP, Paranoid Android this ROM (Liscio) and everything else not based on CM or AOKP are non-CAF ROMs. Every kernel thread (and most titles) will tell you whether or not it's CAF based. Good luck man and enjoy :)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
I've been using it for a few weeks, basically since it started. I came from Sony and HTC devices before, where the only way to boot kernels was using fastboot then flashing the appropriate modules. As JamesPumaEnjoi says the only thing to check is if it's an AOSP/stock based kernel, other than that just flash it via recovery. As I've said before, this rom is ideal for me but kernels can make a difference too so I tend to use multirom and have a couple of copies of the rom with different kernels (maybe a bit ott lol) to determine which is best. There are no bad kernels as such, just kernels with different qualities, and a kernel which I find ideal may not be useful to someone else.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Nothing really to report Andreas; everything works great, still my daily driver despite my best attempts to find something better :p

ART is marginally faster, but there are still a few Xposed additions I need so Dalvik for me. Also, I actually prefer stock dpi of 480 (I normally changed the build.prop) so even more kudos ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinkster, I had trouble to use tethering during the business trip. I get an error message below the checkbox. Can you check whether it is working for you? I think the wireless ad-hoc commit might be the culprit https://github.com/GeyerA/platform_frameworks_base/commit/58007041b8578d87c252a768674685577fdbead4 Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Having no problems with tethering myself, Andreas. Except using Windows8 setup procedures, really missing Ubuntu... But no, connecting fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinkster, I meant wireless tethering. USB works fine for me also....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
Lol, sorry. I'll try in a few hours when I'm near a laptop ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
After countless hours spent flashing back and forth between ROMs, I will settle on this. It's perfect! Close to stock, has all the modificaions I want and need (no stupid HALO or MultiWindow which really lets the stability suffer) and best of all: NO "HOLO BLUE GENOCIDE" BULLSH*T :highfive:

Fast and stable, just how I like it!

Good job and greetings from Austria ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mgianni19:
Reading this makes me want to flash this ROM, lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
As in a WiFi hotspot? Also works fine, can connect to my mobile network ok. I've had zero issues so far with tethering(usb and wireless) except for my extremely variable 4g speed, which is carrier related. Haven't tested Bluetooth tethering though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi - thanks for the empowering words although the power of is XDA (and open source) is to offer choices for the different needs which is always good to respect (like many people buy Iphones :eek:). I am driving this here to provide something I always liked in the past - stay as close as possible to AOSP. Also, the more features we get, more spoiled and demanding we will be. One thing to remind is that without these great devs out there, we would not have the code to compile something simple.....:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi Sinkster, excellent although seems my Hammer got cursed in Asia during the business trip. I get 'error' just below the checkbox for tethering. I removed now the commit in frameworks_base and native for speeding up during boot and flash now. Thanks again for checking !!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
One little thing I noticed is when you disable the network speed indicator, exit out of the menu and go back in, it resets itself to on and appears in the status bar. Also after a reboot, but only the tick is there, not the actual indicator.

Is it possible to reorder quicksettings or en/disable some? I'd love to have a network mode toggle and get rid of the "Screen Off" tile. Also toggling mobile data by clicking the signal tile would be great, but I still love it the way it is, don't want to be too pushy :sly:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, I just tried to replicate what you say about the network speed indicator but did not succeed.

For the tiles, there is no way to change as it is hard-coded. I ususally never changed so will not add the feature that you can customise. Toggle mobile data is possible. Just click.

No, you are not pushy so just go ahead with questions or feature requests but not all can be fulfilled :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
Oh I thought it wasn't available, I'm used to seeing a little x when mobile data is off ;)

I recorded a little video showing the bug. This is a fresh install with no additional mods and no custom kernel and on Dalvik.

http://youtu.be/EzeDmPr2e_8
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, oh I see. I never exit and enter like this so did not notice. If you return to home screen with the back or home button, then return, then it will not return to be checked. I can have a look at Mahdi's source since I picked the code from him....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
Unfortunately, exiting via home or back button doesn't work either...

I have made another video where I exit via home and then via back button.

But it's not that bad, as long as I don't enter the menu, and when I do, I just untick it again ;)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, just tried again and also working for me. I do not have this issue. Maybe other users can comment (Sinkster).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
I've noticed the download speed checkbox issue before, I think someone else mentioned it previously. If you uncheck it then it'll stay off until you reenter the statusbar options again.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, got my device working again. The only way was a clean install; also encountered issues with my vendor_binaries which did cost me 3 days. However all running smooth again. I was thinking to remove the App Circle since it disturbed me now many times when I tried to use the three dotted settings menu in some applications. I planned to implement PEEK - any other requests from you guys and girls :p?

BTW, second post download link is updated...I recommend to flash.:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
I disabled app circle after a while, if it had a definable touch area it would be ideal but like you say it interferes with the right hand menu. Peek sounds good :) though can't think of anything else to add just now. Thanks again Andreas.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Good morning, new build 'Little computer people' is up. I added PEEK and all commits for time-out and also found a nice commit to add the seconds just behind the time. Second post screenshot and download link are updated. Nice week folks.;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, sorry to post like there was no tomorrow. I made a minor update adding DPI changer under developer settings. I was keen on this feature for months and found it by chance. Second post download link is updated. Enjoy and crunch the thanks button :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi folks - I was keen on getting home after work to sync the repo with 4.4.3_r1.1 but did not compile afterwards. I am wiping the slate clean so will need some time to get the ROM up with the features we got today. You could move on with other ROMs just to try the new version until I am back on track. Let me know how it goes (also feel free to PM me or add me on Hangouts) - I will keep you posted :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sinkster:
I tried a couple of 4.4.3 roms earlier, there's not a noticeable difference yet, except the dialler and contacts. Seems faster than 4.4.2, but then I had about 5 apps installed... I'm happy enough with 4.4.2 anyway, I have no problems waiting for an update.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Hi, things are starting to take-off again. I am compiling a version 4.4.3 with embedded SU and CMFilemanager. Let me know in which features you are mostly interested since I do all again from scratch. I am thinking of remove stuff. We need to stay closer to AOSP :rolleyes::eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GeyerA:
Good morning guys, first build of 4.4.3 is up (just wipe and keep a Nandroid just in case). I added embedded SU and CM Filemanager. I will be busy the next days but plan a nice version with a carefully selected amount of features by Sunday. Download link is updated. Have fun. :)
