You know all the ins and outs of lolli by now how would your next build compare in your own opinion?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] LarsPT:
Usb tether isn't working (you can use an app for that) and there's also a battery draining bug on wifi (you should turn off a setting under the wifi advanced menu that has apps always searching for wifi connections).

Other than that is pretty darn perfect for me!!

Should be pretty stable and solid. Facelock will work (with simple aosp gapps) I got a couple memory leak fixes, the LTE fix.

I'll start leaking into tweaks tomorrow and get the backup tool working

[Nexus 4 Android Development] MusadiqManas:
I actually uncheck it during initial setup after flashing an update. I thought it'd be something different. Misc still takes the largest portion of my battery drain. May be official launch of Lollipop fixes it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bitstra:
but how could Google fix the battery stats issues of apps, which didn't optimized for 'L' :confused:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] LarsPT:
That must be some strange app of yours. I have ZERO Misc drain at the moment. Check the screenshot I shared a few pages back (if you search for my posts only it should be easy to find, I don't post much... I try to only post stuff with added value :)

EDIT: Using B22 btw...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] MusadiqManas:
Sir, you're senior and know better than me. That was just an assumption of mine. I wasn't claiming anything.. :)

BTW I guess after official launch, app devs might want to optimize their stuff for the latest build.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] MusadiqManas:
Me too using B22. Well as far strange apps are concerned, I've learnt about that a few weeks earlier that there might be some app FCing or something which could be the reason for Misc battery drain. I checked all my apps and all were normal. So I thought it wasn't due to strange behaviors of apps.

May be there are some apps in my device that are not optimized for 5.0 and they're causing Misc battery drain although they're not FCing.

Good to know Misc is absent at your side. I might need to try again for it.. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] LarsPT:
The app for usb tether is ClockWorkMod Tether.

Go in wifi settings, menu button, advanced, turn off "scanning always available".

I've had ZERO fc's so far. I'm serious.

I always clean flash and install the apps fresh from the play store. I also don't use many weird apps... facebook, hangouts, xda, pokerstars, linkedin and basically i'm good to go :)

You should man - I was on B19 - Took the time to clean flash B22 on Sunday and there is a huge difference, so go figure .... you are few B's back than I was ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] llevin:
Frank 2.0 is b22 - Either you mean "frank donor" or your base is earlier than b22.

You can safely dirty flash b22 over b21. With earlier versions, you better clean install.

I don't know about b22 to Frank donor, but I would suggest you wait for the next build that should be coming in a few hours.

Good answer to my favorite question - there are So Many variables :eek:

[MENTION=2156732]LarsPT[/MENTION] the Misc Battery ...... wifi settings, menu button, advanced, turn off "scanning always available"

I've never had that Misc batt - I Always turn that off within hours of flashing a ROM, even on KK, could that be the answer to why some see it others don't?

Hmmm... Maybe tonight after work then [emoji4]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KrisMurdrum:
Just wait few more hours [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] is getting the next build ready

Also, dirty flashing is never advised between platform changes. Of you go dirty you may/will have bugs and will be asked to clean flash before reporting bugs.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Psichi:
Anything *can* be dirty flashed... But if you run in to any issues you should do a clean flash to rule out user introduced issues.

Isn't that like Custom ROM 101?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
Yeah, just realised that.

This is incremental to show where I am there for you crack flashers.

A lot has changed since donor.

I got a bit of cleaning up to do still [MENTION=2981094]bitstra[/MENTION] is looking at the advanced power menu and pin auto select (type in your pin and don't have to hit the OK key)

The LTE fix should be working and good.

For the most part should be smooth and good. (Scratch that, I forgot to push the commit before I built)

This is aosp so you need to flash gapps. I recommend the simple aosp gapps package

(Yes it doesn't have a gallery or music app, I removed those ancient things)

The problem is not B22. It's AOSP and try to flash it and see what happens... You will have to take the dialer approach to get LTE going.

Journal off disable journaling of system and cache partitions. It seems to boost speed up a little.

Wipe system only wipe system partition. It doesn't have anything to do with data partition.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nandagopal.r:
Err.. Problemo Sir? Its being downloaded, should I hold off flashing?

LTE is not an issue for me, as I dont have LTE in my area :D I can't remember what was the issue with memory leak :(

On another note - can I flash custom kernels? And should I follow the flashing instructions from Simple AOSP ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] equi_design:
Is anyone else irked by how it seems Google has sprinkled Fit breadcrumbs all over our frakking phones?

To me it's like one of those commercials during a streaming video that just keeps doing the repeat-self, repeat-self at every break. Those same commercials make me never want to use/buy that item. Ever.

I know that Fit is really only mentioned a few places - it just seems like where ever I look while I'm in the settings zones, it's waving at me. I don't even have it installed and it still has a checked sync option under every darn one of my Google Accounts.

Anyhow... I apologize for the virtual rant. But thanks for lending your virtual ears.

:good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:

Gapps cannot be considered AOSP since they are not generated by compiling the AOSP source but in this case we call them the "SimpleAOSP Gapps" since they are used to make that ROM more like the Google factory image. :good:

You need the PIE bypass patch for that but I think [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] included it in the Donor build.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dannycardoz92:
can't be fixed because it has to be fixed on google's end first if im not wrong
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nandagopal.r:
Google fixed it, but I think not yet merged to AOSP code and hence not in our new build.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
So I'm confused (sorry).

Installed Frank reborn.9 and the Gapps from above.

It seems I'm lacking things like the Google camera, L version of calendar etc.

I'm guessing that's not the gapps package I really need if I want the actual Google apps?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] prithvic:
I know its in Google's hand, but some recent news confirmed it was fixed already, thats why I was concerned about it
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dannycardoz92:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=18189 right at the bottom
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nandagopal.r:
Google Camera is not included in that GApps. You can download it from Play Store. This comes with AOSP camera, which do not have the LensBlur and Photosphere stuff (I guess those are still closed source from Google). I'm not sure why the Calendar is old in this package, I had the latest apk from APK Mirror and installed it. Those GApps are minimal. :) Unfortunately, I haven't found (not searched, in fact) a full GApps package (like the PA ones we had for KitKat). Hope this clears your confusion?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
Thanks - I guess I was hoping for a L version of Gapps as you describe (above) with the "official" apps...

Feels like a step backwards to be using the AOSP apps again after being on the L ones for a while now.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
No, but the updater-script in the ROM zip formats the system partition, and erases the cache partition and dalvik cache so there's no need to do that separately.

A factory reset is all that's required for a clean flash and no wipes are required for a dirty flash.

Please read this post, which is also linked from the installation section of the OP, to get a better understanding of what's required for wiping and flashing and why.
