So I've poked through this thread a bit and I'm still not quite sure whether or not flashing a custom kernel over this is a good idea. Some people say custom kernel will address quick battery drain issues, others lose WiFi and still others say to keep it to stock. I just flashed L Preview to my mako today and can already tell the battery life is not as good as it as before. Should I flash AK 330 or some other kernel or just live with the battery issues?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] himzz0007:

I can't find the link for B3 v2, where can I download it??? And where can I find a Changelog??? (it's not posted on 1st page).

I'm currently running B2 and it works great, no issues so far!!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jayRokk:
One step I did was delete all my other roms. I added beta3-2 then flashed (with complete wipes) and it goes thru completely.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebart:
First of all, when trying to tether, it doesn't give me T-Mobile message, whatever is connected to it just doesn't have an internet connection, second of all, I would like to flash the zip but it won't let me BC I'm not on 4.4.4.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Raiden350:
The beta3 pre3 can be updated just with wipe cache/dalvik cache before and after flashing (just like the first post said) ?

And in this update, is there still the problem when we unlock the phone and the UI system is force closing (when the phone is charging)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Other than the internal ROM I don't have any other Roms and have 2.5 GB+ of storage left
[Nexus 4 Android Development] johnb380:
Downloading now its almost done I'll let you know in like ten minutes I'm gonna try a dirty flash over beta2!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dodgebizkit:
I flashed AK with beta 2, no complaints :)

It is beautiful, good enough for daily use - far fewer bugs than the previous builds

[Nexus 4 Android Development] kryzeK:
beta 6 will not be slim, right? Prefer with everything preinstalled with gapps, googletts, faceunlock etc. Like stock oficial L ROM
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CamoGeko:
First you became a cyborg then you took some tin ladies out for a drink and some white powder.

That really is a cheap date. ;)

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I changed that up a bit.

Slim does have facelock and live wallpaper support back along with tts and sound search in but printer support is taken out (a lot of people don't actually use it at all)

Slim with printer support will be the third build.

That cuts the size down to 357 mb and is just the core google apps so some pick and choosing is available on the google apps that are non essential.

Full is still sitting up around 500 mb and includes the full set except for books and magazines along with some of the extra keyboards (this keeps us within our space limit so we don't end up with a half installed build)

The newest adreno libs I was able to put in which are actually newer than what we had are the adreno libs that are available from qcom developer (the newer kit Kat ones floating around the forum) but going any newer then than that doesn't work with the preview ones.

This at least let's us know we can swap out the egl drivers for other kk ones so that does open up other devices some and now I know what I am looking at egl wise.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
BTW I did test it this time and it is all good to go. We won't have a fiasco like last night, builds are uploading, slim will be first since it is smaller so it uploads quicker (I'm on the slim myself right now)

I'll edit the other post that is explaining between the slim and full with the download link when it is done.

(Couple posts up)

Builds are gonna be in the folder where they were last night BTW, it seems having them all together didn't work too well. Last night's builds are deleted to make sure no one grabs them

I decided to do a slim with printer support for those that need it

That leaves a pick your own poison when it comes to google apps besides the core ones

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
6 finishes up the rebasing work from 5 (5.9 was just a stepping stone and getting it out to other devices so we could work out all the kinks)

The rebasing work meant a lot of clean up and trying to get it as efficient as possible so from 5 to 6 is a big step and will be quite noticeable

Built in Busybox should be working. I tested the functions and seemed good to me.

Got rid of all the looping code and debugging code to speed everything up.

Updated the preview proprietary binaries to the latest version (some can't go all the way up and are stuck on a previous set or even original preview versions)

Built in google apps have been updated.

Slim printer supported version is up.

Straight slim will be dropped on any future builds in the b6 series because dropping 10 mb is not worth it to loose a core function that can't be replaced on the google play store so slim will have printer support for future builds and other devices

BBW 6 Info and Changelog

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=18545

Figured I can put this here for right now so it can be pointed to.

Leaving it out of the OP for right now and just in the thread so it can get thoroughly tested until tomorrow in case I need to do a bugfix

DEB and FLO are not done yet, just putting the info all in one place and they will be going to the same status once they are done.

Can I just dirty flash beta 6 over 5.9 without removing UMK and synapse app?

Since it will replace the kernel to default, I afraid that it will not boot with synapase.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Damn, I forgot to add that to the feature list of b6
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Honestly, I don't know cause I don't have much experience with the custom kernel scene and the tuning apps for them.

I would believe the app info would be in data so a dirty flash wouldn't cover that but it they leave something in init.d for their functions, that would get wiped out with a dirty flash because the ROM formats the system partition first and that is where init.d lives

So I wanna say you are safe
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Mako and hammerhead will be getting a break for right now.

I'll handle any bug fixes tomorrow but then I'm gonna be going to flo to get that to b6, then over to deb to get that to b6 and concentrate on getting the radio working.

I'm also gonna be redoing the op across the devices because they aren't very informative or descriptive enough for what they offer over the previews for hammerhead and flo.

Then I'm gonna give the 1+1 another shot to see where I can go with that now that I am rearmed with more info about the egl drivers.

Then a little break for me, I'm gonna focus on making a couple developer tools for debugging and prototyping (mostly for porters but source developers can find some use) before getting back into working towards b7

I wanna have a tool ready so on day 1 when those nexus builds drop with official L, I can grab the fast boot images and have full permissive flash able builds within hours and be able to give the option of slim and full builds there so these won't die the day the official comes out for all the nexus devices
[Nexus 4 Android Development] f4ll3n:
Slim version cool like it

Default kernel no changes

Thanks again [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I agree with that. You will have to re-flash UKM and I think some people have recommended clearing data for Synapse after a dirty flash.

When changing Kernels you should always do a dirty flash of the ROM first to make sure the system partition gets formatted so any parameter and script files placed there by the previous kernel are gone.

BBW6 will surely be a great driver for this days on mako, while you go with the other nexus. Thanks for sharing this beauty, and for letting us into the whole process.

I'm gonna be quite busy the next two weeks, since are important days on 2 projects I'm at charge. But gonna try to follow up and test-report on flo whenever I can.

Thank you for all you've done, and all you're doing.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mcdull:
thanks. But the synapase app would cause system issue if UMK is not exsit.

Anyway, I would just uninstall the UMK before flashing.

I found 5.9 is not very stable but I have no idea if it is caused by the custom kernel. All I want is tap 2 wake because my power button failed.

After flashing beta 6, the tethering problem still exist. Is it a known issue of Andorid L that any tethering (bluetooth / wifi) has to be started twice before it would work?

thx.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
WiFi and Bluetooth tethering don't work at all on the Nexus 5 (official preview or the N5 version of this ROM) so you should feel fortunate that there's a workaround for the Nexus 4 to get it working at all.

If you are having issues with UKM, Synapse and your current custom kernel I suggest that you try Hellscore with the Hellscore Kernel Manager. I use that (B47 OTG version) primarily to get DT2W but it also has good performance, reliability and battery life.

i know that, but it seems that kernels don't support L, the reason is preview system. i haven't try to flash custom kernels with L, so just forget it Thanks anyway.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Try the Hellscore kernel.

You can flash it, download the Hellscore Kernel Manager from the Play Store, set the wake option you want and forget about it. After the initial setup you won't have to worry at all about having a custom kernel.

What is different Mako-L-Rebase and Android-L-Mako?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
Defconoi 82u..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
You must be looking at the wrong AFH folder.

The current ROM versions (3 options) for mako are here.

Anything else is obsolete.

Did you run another kernel before that?

Try a dirty flash (format cache+dalvik only) of the B6 ROM then boot and test superuser without flashing a custom kernel. It sounds to me like you may have multiple custom kernels stepping on each other.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
No other custom kernels recently... Before flashing B6 and 82u I had 80u... Anyway I'm trying to dirty flash the ROM.. I'll report

Done, it works! Probably I forgot to format system in the previous flashing.. could it be?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Thanks for the feedback.

That can't be the problem since the updater-script in the ROM zip file formats the complete system partition for every flash.

It's more likely some overlap between the different kernel versions that broke something.
