[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
While I agree with you about the L ports being far ahead of it, some people do like the look and feel of it so why not give it a go.

As far as getting the news and weather app working. That shouldn't be too much of a problem. It is probably just a permission file or missing lib most likely
[Nexus 4 Android Development] migueldbr:
yes, MIUI is very good, but flyme is way ahead of MIUI when it comes to performance imo...and it looks very good too so you dont have to mess around with themes, which makes the phone slower. Also, its android 4.4.4=p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
The Google News and Weather app doesn't work on MIUI either. IIRC it's a licensing issue and not a technical problem.

Always fun to try new stuff but it may not be practical as a daily driver. It might be worth getting feedback from your Nexus 5 users (I'm sure some others will be installing the official release) before spending a lot of time and effort porting it to the Nexus 4 but of course that's up to you. I know some people here have expressed interest but the reality may not live up to the expectations.

I'm far more impressed with Ubuntu Touch on the Nexus 4 and that still has a ways to go.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I have yet to test out the Ubuntu touch on my n4, maybe after this
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Have you installed Flyme on another device?

I'm just curious if your opinion is based on hands-on usage or what you have read in reviews and forums.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] migueldbr:
its mostly based on what i read about other users experience, but i tried very briefly the port that one user posted on our general section for the N4 (unfortunately it has no navbar so i couldnt do much with it). But its Cm skinned basicallly...MIUI is heavily modified. I tried MIUI on almost all my devices up until now and it was always slower than other roms. It looks very good, but when it comes to performance i dont like it very much. Just my opinion of course...Since you have tried both, what do you think about this?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blacknikname:
+1 on Ubuntu
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
So it isn't flyme or miui at all but mostly a theme?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blacknikname:
and the answer is positive
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I definitely agree that MIUI is "heavier" and less responsive than both this ROM and Flyme. However, my initial impression of Flyme is that it is too "bare bones" at this point and I've found even the settings menus to be somewhat stripped down. I've only run it for about an hour so far so I really haven't tested much yet but am concerned that the traditional problem areas like tethering, SMS/MMS, Bluetooth and other network related items may not be fully functional yet. Of course, they are not on the L preview either, but they will definitely be fixed there in the couple of months.

Flyme definitely feels "lean and mean" to me but I'm concerned that it may be too lean for most users to consider it a daily driver on the Nexus devices.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Do I gotta fix those things then?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Don't know yet since I haven't tested them yet.

Another thing that gives the "lean" feeling is the lack of widgets supplied with the OS. Assuming the CM widgets, wallpapers and themes are compatible that shouldn't be a big problem, but if Flyme has to be dressed up with CM stuff it might be better to just run CM11.

Another example of things that appear to be "stripped down" is the notifications screen. There are only a few widgets available and I haven't found a way to customize them (yet). It just seems far more restrictive in general than CM11.

But if you have access to a Nexus 5 you should definitely flash it and form your own opinion. :good:

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:
other than a few features here and there, it comes down to theme and the eye candy. AOSP has been just about the same ever since god knows when. The dialer looks just about the same, the QS, status bar. the list goes on. that's why roms like miui and now Flyme get such a big reaction
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I just wish they would use aosp as a base instead of cm, I think even Ubuntu touch is using cm as a base
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blacknikname:
base is linux :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Yeah a Linux kernel :p

technically that is the only part that is linux.

They used to be based off of cm
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Not any more.

Ubuntu Touch is based on the real Unbuntu Linux OS, but uses pieces of Android for compatibility. It's best explained in the Ubuntu Touch Porting Guide:

There is also a version called Ubuntu for Android but apparently that is being phased out by Canonical.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It still uses a bit of cm but mostly just the trees which while I don't think is the best idea, it helps get it off the ground.

Looking at that gives me a couple ideas for my own upcoming project and way to do things. It is a bit more work but not all that bad to do
[Nexus 4 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Already tried it... It's a HUGE ZIP filled my 8GB nexus 4 almost all the way! I left with in an hour since it was slow and buggy

P.S I installed it via multirom manger, there is an option there to install it...

Edit: speaking of multirom manager... I just opened it up and found an update v28 ... Now looks better! Almost like material design.

Anyone else try it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lalu:
Yup, looking and working really good. Yet, I wonder more of the Table Tennis feature that they have added ever since I first saw it. Now that's a big step for humanity <3.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Glorifyy:

Quick 1...so is android l gonna stay on beta 6 for sometime till miui and flyme are worked on...or you plan to release a 6.x based on new preview image today and then look at it post flyme and miui? Just wanted to know your thoughts about 3 rom ports and how you plan to maintain them :D

Btw MIUI 6 a good choice...using rom from MI series will be better as its way more stable than N5 especailly MI4...though porting wise I guess N5 might be easier :)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
What's the problem with audio and WiFi? Are they working in the n5 version and just not for the n4?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Only thing that is really left on L for mako and hammerhead that is possible right now is really some more polish.

Bluetooth and network issues will most likely persist as at this point there isn't much I can do. I've tried throwing every ounce of trickery I know at L and some works kinda which isn't good enough, some works well.

Gonna have to do the animations one at a time by hand most likely because it won't take them straight from the sdk.

As far as the n5 miui port, it is alright to use the n5 as reference but it is normally easier (for me) to start with the original base and work it that way.

Working on a port to another device, brings in needless files and their problems too plus I don't know exactly what way they went about doing things or what hacks they used to get something to work.

The best for me is to work it up from the ground myself so I know exactly what is what.

3 ports and how plan to maintain them?

I gotta maintain them??? Nobody said anything about maintaining them!!!!

Well as I don't have a job right now, my time is a bit open so it does make that a lot easier
[Nexus 4 Android Development] vampire36:
Ohhh in that case would say use Mi4 base...as thats true MIUI 6...even mi2 has a special edition of MIUI 6 with stuff missing...

MI4 has the perfect and most stable MIU v6 base :)

Android L I find it good enough for daily driver...so take your sweet time...you have worked your back off over it...we are proud of your efforts...just asked to check if there is a release today since you wanted close a few L stuff :P

[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] vampire36:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
The problem with grouper and manta for that matter is I don't have them nor do we have a compatible base to work with.

N5 and n7 were easier even though I didn't have them to carry the work over without much worry about sending out non-booters.

With grouper or manta, since I would have to do a lot of bottom end work to get them even to just boot, I would need to do a lot of bottom end work where I would need to be hands on with them to get them working properly
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It looks like the mi4 has a 801 which is the same as the g3/s4/z3/m8/1+1 while the mi2 has a 8064 which is a lot similar to our n4 hardware so it looks like I will have to use both as a base

Give the guy a chance, how about some detail?

The only thing I've noticed on the n4 regard to WiFi is that it seems to have a problem reconnecting after it has gone out of range of my router, and just sits saying "authentication problem" until I tell it to reconnect. Not that much of an "issue" really, no reboot required or anything like that.

Can't speak to audio as I tend to use my grouper for content consumption, though with recent posts I'm now worried it might try to consume me :eek:

3.8R is beta version , flyme for n5 based on CM source , but not release any code to build.

about the audio issue : If I use N4's audio_policy.default.so , logcat show Waiting for service media.audio_policy... and bootloop, the same logcat to use the n5's . but I put the GS4's audio_policy.default.so . bootup but no voice. too weird..

MIUI Porting Info

There is a MIUI V5 port for the the Nexus 4. That version includes the extra stuff you would need for the Nexus 4 like gapps and an LTE fix, but there is also an official port here.

It might help to install that on your Nexus 4 to get the lay of the land and it might even be an alternative base that can be upgraded to V6. Comparing that port to the official V6 versions should give you some idea of what needs be changed to MIUI and what stays Nexus AOSP/CM11 or whatever base you use.

This page has a bunch of official porting info and there is a pretty detailed porting guide here.
