That's exactly the device I'm looking at to replace my N5. I was about to click "Buy" button. But quite few guys complaining about very weak wifi signal and issues with Bluetooth. Can got confirm that at least you're OK with that? In general - how's the screen, battery life, etc.?

And one more thing. I wanted to ask you if you have plans to bring your fantastic kernel I'm using for over a year to OP3. But I guess this question does not make sense any more :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
It's all great.

I'll just leave this here...

Hey eng stk can you tune your tool chain to make the apps open/response instantly to touch.

This is too far fetched but i saw the 6p respond to touch and open apps with the touch responsiveness of an iPhone. So it peaked my interest it can be mimiced on Nexus 5

I have changed the DPI to 292, could this be the reason to slow app opening? But the catch is i have been running my phone with this DPI for over a year so i doubt it'll affect the performance anyway
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Buy a 6p lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iCung:
Wait a sec, is it based from the latest MOB30P?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
There is no new kernel source available. Nothing valuable would be in a new source, if it changed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fapste:
Not gonna happen cuz it doesn't have blue spark.

On my nexus the wifi won't work with r94, but with the r93 it works; i'm using the latest MARK rom with july security update. Someone else have this problem?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] freshlysqueezed:
Same here. I'm using purenexus.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Your custom ROMs need wifi firmware updates probably.

https://gitlab.com/engstk/hammerhead/commit/3d623b848be3c879296274cf4cb11f810f79bec1

I only give support for stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xitopodo:
Same for me. In r94, WiFi doesn't work for me neither.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lynnux:
r94 running very smooth for me, wifi is working. Stock, July security update.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] starche_old:
Bug report.

Flashed r94 and cannot get wifi working. I mean, WiFi turns on and is searching, but after 2 minutes still nothing. Flashed r93 back and got WiFi working instantly.

I'm not complaining, just reporting :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iCung:
Try to use the kernel update on the rom based MOB30P (I use latest pure white), my phone's wifi works fine here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] starche_old:
Interesting. My ROM Pure Nexus to be updated tomorrow. I'll try it there. I did not realize that kernel is that much dependant on the build number.

Sorry for misreporting
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] code3h:
WiFi ain't working after flashing r95 on my N5 Pure Nexus :confused:, So, flased back r91 :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:

Your ROMs need updated blobs, stock is fine.

Stop spamming about ROM crap.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Creative9170:
Anyone have muffled and low quality sound on speaker after MOD30P update? On stock ROM, i don't know ita kernel related or thia build has issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miseusegau:
Congratulations [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION]...consistently great this kernel..;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] frikakwa:
OK. Not working neither on last release of Chroma (07th July). Will then revert to [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION]. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] amphi66:
Thanks. Just seemed funny that the R93 "old" kernel version worked with the new, "non-matching" ROM blobs updated last night, but the new R94 "matching" ones wouldn't this morning. All is functional, just confusing (but a natural state for me)!! Your product is always appreciated!!

Edit: And yes, as noted, Stock kernel works just fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
Latest google source brought two problems: broken wifi on old ROMs and low-quality sound.

First: new bcmdhd driver code uses the new APIs, first introduced in latest MOB30P firmware. Those APIs are located at proprietary blocks: /system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin and fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin . You can grab them from MOB30P and extract to the old ROM - wifi will work. Or - just revert that useless checks from the kernel. Nothing interesting.

Second: latest ASoC code also broke audio HAL and made the sound horrible. The only way to solve it - revert ASoC changes from google july spray. These google updates are crappy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pianistaPL:
Yes, audio volume is very low on r94. Not the ROM issue.

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 5 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iCung:
See, the wifi works fine here.

But yes, the audio quality is worse in this build. Pretty sure it's not the ROM issue bcs it's still normal in 94 build. Not a big deal for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stark_br:
Maybe your rom has all the patches needed, thats why it works fine.

Issues has been reported on Chroma and Purenexus tho...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jacakk:
I have CM13. WiFi works without problem but sound problem - confirmed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pianistaPL:
Could someone uploat those APIs?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
This archive contains needed files and will replace yours bcmdhd firmware by the newest one from MOB30P. It should fix broken wifi on older ROMs. Just flash it via TWRP. All credits to mcflash@4PDA

You've just made my day with this zip: r94 is running fine now on Chroma! ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] spdrosin:
Should it work with other custom kernels too?

Thanx in advance. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
Yes, of course. It modifies your ROM, not your kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
Hey bud mind if I use your post and spread the word with your link? It works perfectly. 10x thanks

Edit: Posted it on Pure Nexus and Dirty Unicorns thread. These people need to give you extra thanks bud. Again thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
no problem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Wifi needs updated firmware and the sound probably google will update ACBDs calibration also.

All ROM level changes that kernel has nothing to do with.

People can use the kernel build that suits them best.

I will not revert anything, kernel security is important as any other battery or performance patch.

With that said, let's keep discussion on topic.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anazhd:
I was clean flashing my device for 3 times because of the wifi issue until I found this. Should've read this thread earlier :silly:

blu_sp★rk r95 beta

I just added a couple sound updates from my other CAF devices to the hammer, how is it against r94?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cdonald:
Just tested this quickly and still was not able to adjust in-call volume.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
It shouldn't, as the security updates, that broke it, are still there.

Yes, no doubt that security is important. But when it breaks other important parts - no need such kind of useless things. More than that, most of the viruses could easily pass all the SELinux architecture and gain a control of the device, if user install unknown apps.

The best security is a head on the shoulders.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Stock MOB30P?

Well I (and lot's of other kernel developers) like to have useless error checking, address dereferentiation exception control, buffer underrun protection and several other memory error troubleshoot.

Nothing to do with selinux and userspace crap.

And since it's up to me, well...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mendozaram:
after update to r94 i lost wifi connection.... it turns ON and OFF but doesn't find any network... i reflash R92 and its working again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexterultim:
I have nothing bad about

but I have with latest audio changes, that brought lots of additional checks to prevent overflow with a minimal risk at a cost of 99% wrong audio set. I was experiencing this on stock and have no idea why google missed it. It wouldn't be any worse to just revert this - https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/838328e6f09c0f6ad80de779b4c12d3e1c87d86b . Because the memory allocation on 3.4 google kernel is crap and these patches won't help
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Similar commits are in other CAF devices (3.4 and higher) and there's no issues whatsoever.

The problem probably are the ACDB tables that were not updated accordingly.

Let's see if they revert kernel stuff (which I doubt) or update blobs accordingly (probably).

But then again, hammerhead tree if full of chained merge revert, we'll see

Until then, nothing will change. People can use r94 or r93 if they need it.

End of story.

How about reading the thread before posting? That would be nice :good:

The issue is that Google imported a newer version of an older CAF commit without the proper commits in between.

Original commit

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/6eb6d1817c8be8eecda0dbb096c58100a36a44af

new commit

Thank you very much. Now my N5 is loud again :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you just look in the code, the function is only called once to allocate memory, and two of those parameters are hard-coded to null and 0 respectively on the Nexus 5. I believe this was simply an oversight by Google. But yes, I fixed it by tracing back in the code and good old fashioned debugging. It's a simple thing, no big deal, but you could at least acknowledge that I spent an hour of my time testing and debugging this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Midomad:
Wish all devs were like you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Like I said, the code diff is easy noticeable on the trees I checked and my point is clearly backgrounded, referring to the original patches which I used (and which I copied the code from).

I noticed some of them when doing my updates in my other CAF devices and so on, I already talked about this.

So, if you hammered down that way congrats, I always appreciate good work.

You took time doing that and I kinda loose time doing research and other stuff.

Is only your time wasted that counts? C'mon...

ofc I acknowledge your work, I use some of your patches with authorship maintained (which I kinda do for everybody) and your name is for everybody to see in my OP.

If anybody lacks some acknowledge is not me, sorry.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] amphi66:
You both do great work and it is your (joint) enthusiasms that keep the variety of hardware functioning much better than original. Variety and varied viewpoints keep thing fresh and on the front edge. Thanks!

Some kind of OxygenOS port for the N5?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mistersixt:
Just upgraded vom version 93 to 96, and I lost both, wifi and the mobile data connection (using Chroma latest version). Switched back to v93 and it is working fine again.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iCung:
Pretty sure it is not the kernel problem. Perhaps, the latest chroma doesn't include the latest july patch?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mistersixt:
Again: same Chroma verson, with latest patch level from July, 5th, and kernel v93 is fine while with v96 I have the problems mentioned.

Regards, mistersixt.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] carlese:
Again, not a kernel problem.. Chroma doesn't have everything in place for the july patch, use PureNexus and everything works like a charm (it's even a better Rom IMHO)..

Init.d support is the same since the beggining. Just tried the script to disable cpu-boost and is working fine.

I usually don't comment on ROM or Kernel threads, but this one deserved one. This kernel overall has been a real treat using on my N5. I mean there are other great kernels out there for our phone as I tried most of them. This one gives me the best overall experience right out the box since I really don't like messing with configurations. Just a couple of personal tweaks and I am set.. Keep up the good work [MENTION=3873953]eng.stk[/MENTION] :good:

Thanks for the hints... Turns out Vanir has an init.d script that stops all others from processing if mpdecision isn't present. Removed it and all is good!

what is that 01_fstrim file in init.d ? i have stock rom and it hasn't init support i think :)

Hello, do you have facebook installed? I don't know why I barely reach 5-6 SoT. My average is 4hrs SoT only. No Uc/Uv. Auto brightness auto sync. Wifi only facebook+clash of clans. What can you advice?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] omvir:
I do not have Facebook installed. I use the browser for Facebook. But I do use a lot of other social apps; WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, and Snapchat. Usually indoors I control my brightness manually; I have it on about... 10-15%ish. And I do not play games on my phone. Lots of browsing on XDA, WhatsApp, and texting. I've also got lots of apps that run in the background(Dropbox, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, Zooper widgets, Dropbox, and have 1 email account) . And I make sure they don't keep my device awake for no reason.

All phones are different wrt battery life. Like for example my nexus 5 before the one I have right now, it would only get max of 5hours SOT and this one gets 1.5-2 hours more! With the same usage.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peeweew:
So that means Messenger could work without Facebook. Knowing that some Nexus' can do and some cannot seems unfair. I'm thinking CPU binning is related. Or it comes with the difference of D820 or D821. That's just my perception, so I don't know either.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nucleotide:
Seriously, just ignore the SOT's. It is purely subjective - everyone is going to have different results. With 7+ hours of screen on time, I'd imagine he barely used his phone - at least not for anything CPU / GPU intensive, and the battery stats clearly show that.

I'd be lucky to get 3-4 hours of SOT time but I also use my phone for a lot of social networking (Facebook, Twitter, G+, Instagram), a game or two (Clash of Clans, mainly), lots of messaging and a few phone calls, music and bluetooth headphones, auto-brightness.

Don't try to match the 7+ hours because unless you just want to sit the phone on your desk with the screen permanently on, not really using it for anything, you will probably never get there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peeweew:
I guess so, just haven't tried the way he used his. Can't try to make a test since I've got to use it for my style.

Actually, I got bettery battery since I installed this kernel I barely reached 4hours SoT using other kernels (same usage). Then I saw omvir's post that made me hope mine could do it also because we now have the same ROM and Kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Read the thread, your ROM is not using updated blobs.

Stock and updated custom ROMs work fine, you also need to update your radio, etc in fastboot.

Enough of this ROM crap over and over.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] skyknife93:
Guys, I'm having a small issue with audiofx, which doesn't seem to work since r94. I went back to r93 again and it works. My n5 has been running stock ever since cata went south, and I'm currently on the latest July patch, with root.

On another note, I know this isn't the place for it but I have to ask, how's the OP3? I'm considering getting a new phone to replace my N5 and I saw it had Blu_spark as well and it immediately shot ahead of the options I was considering. Just wanted to have an opinion from a dev, especially after I got the OP2 ( sold it and went back to my N5 in just 4 days). I still love my blu_sparked N5, but.. just looking around.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eng.stk:
MusicFX works normal, since you are in a non support scenario you're on your own.

I already talked about OP3, search a bit.

But I'm testing now CAF TrueSight kernel that has FauxSound v4.2 (latest version on blu_spark was 3.6 I guess). And it seems to be really stable. And I must say that overall audio quality and smoothness is way better. Maybe that's because of CAF sources, I don't know... But if you could look at this, it would be great. BTW I completely don't want to critique blu_spark! :)
