Ok, but the icons in beta 4.9 have been different.

[MENTION=5445131]qtpa2tnh[/MENTION]: thanks for the zip-file, I'll try it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ah thanks man, now it makes sense.

Anyone know what [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]' policy is on uploading mirrors? The AFH download is quite slow, and I'm thinking of uploading B6 Full zip to my MEGA account.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Check the link in the edit to my earlier post about those icons.

Apparently someone thought the ones shown at I/O were official and made a set that mimic'd them. The reason they were in 4.9 was because someone told [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] they were the official preview icons, which they are not. Once things were sorted out the decision made was to stay with the official icons and leave the solid icons as an optional customization.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Personally I like the smooth icons better, they match the battery icon and it looks more consistent. [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] you should add the icon zip to the OP when you get the chance
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TnK8iD:
Hi i wanna try this rom but i can't find where to read about the bugs; is not a beta rom anymore am I right? No bugs at all? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
The general rule at XDA is not to create mirrors without the developer's approval unless the primary site is completely down and users are waiting to download. Even those should be taken down once the primary site becomes available again unless the dev approves a permanent mirror. AFH is supposed to have built-in mirrors but the downloads I've done lately only show the primary Florida site as available. :(

There are other situations like yesterday when we were working on our own test builds or when [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] asked us to use the old updater-script and make that available as an interim test build to B6, but those downloads are strictly interim test releases.

The bottom line is that any mirror intended to be a long term backup for an official release needs to be approved by the developer before it is made public.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lol mate. I know what the XDA rules are.

Thats why I posted asking if it was okay with [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to post a MEGA mirror, as the full zip is quite large so it might be nice to give an option to download from somewhere else either than AFH. As the latter has been sucking lately with regards to speeds.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
There are bugs remaining, most of which are documented in the official preview bug database, linked from post#2 of this thread. Since those bugs won't be addressed unless new build(s) of the preview are made available, which is not expected as of now, this ROM will probably remain in "beta" status until L is officially released in the fall.

Despite the remaining bugs, which cannot be addressed without L source code and compatible tools, many user have found those bugs to be minor enough that they are able to use this ROM as a daily driver in lieu of the official KitKat release.

When you asked "Anyone know what [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]' policy is on uploading mirrors?" it wasn't clear to me that you did. I've worked with other developers to provide mirrors but I always check with them for each release whether or not they want a mirror since their preference can change or they might decide to provide their own mirror for that release. I would never ask other users what the developer's policy was on mirrors because of that.

My recommendation remains to wait until you get direct feedback from [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] before publishing any mirrors for his AFH uploads, but that's up to you.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah thats understandable. I probably didint express myself correctly.

Simply wanted to know how he felt about me posting a mirror, I was going to PM him to see if he could add it to the OP too.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 0.0:
[MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] for b7, will the updated animations be added? Actually, it would be good if you can direct me on where to add the animation files in framework res. I can do it manually and push it to my github. That way, it'll be less work for you?

sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
That's definitely the best approach and when the mirror is published in the OP it gives the users confidence that it is official and approved by the developer. I wouldn't have it any other way when I do mirrors for developers, and do agree that some form of mirror would be helpful given the current state of AFH. :good:

I am in hostel, and here, they give static ip to every individual. That's why I cannot connect wifi here with DHCP. I tried that app, and many others. They give exception toast while setting ip. I don't see any workaround available for this.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CamoGeko:
I would like to know this too.

Wonder if there's a flashable zip somewhere containing these new animations...

Yeah thats the way I always do it. :good:;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
That will probably require using KitKat for now, unless [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] has some idea on how to fix that in this port, but those official preview bugs are hard to address without source code and more development tools compatible with L.

You might want to consider a MultiROM setup if you don't have one already so you can at least use L when you are not in the hostel.

Edit: Your signature says you have a Galaxy Mini too. Can't you use that when you are in the hostel?

I'm testing the b6 mako test the [MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] with the kernel b52 and all work very well, NFC and Bluetooth work, no format data....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Is the Hellscore Kernel Manager Working for you? Are you using the Play Store version or the beta from the XDA thread?

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sstarlight:
any suggestions for stable kernel that support s2w or s2s?

edit:

sorry i just realize 2 page behind. kernel hell b47. :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Yea, that's my favorite because it's stable and has the features I use.

It also has decent performance and good battery life. I do suggest waiting for B52 until more users have tested it and the Hellscore Kernel Manager together.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
I'm using furnace kernel 1.0.6. and it seems to be very good too....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sstarlight:
is there anyway to get "Photo" Apps from google? i try to find it at play store. but no luck :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kingofcomedy:
Since I have installed this I constantly get a "System UI has stopped"-message. Even with L-Mako-b5-bunny-stew-and-kool-aid. Is there a way to fix this without data-wipe? /system has already been formated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] galom:
The gallery app is back, but I cannot use it as a widget, freezes.Could someone else confirm? (I dirty flashed b6 over clean b5.9)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Interesting...

They have two "L" kernels for the Nexus 4 when there is no official preview for mako.

I wonder what ROM they used to test those. :confused:

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
Well, i've been using the OC version for a while, it gives me all the features i want...gamma profile, a little improvement on sound, and some others little things.. don't need f2fs or more complicated features to play with...maybe you can test it for a couple of days.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
You might want to download the full ROM one time but instead of flashing it just unzip it so you can pull apps over that have been removed. I'm not surprised that Photo isn't in the Play Store since it is integrated with the default, full featured camera in L.

There are threads that have flashable versions of the L apps too, but by pulling them from the matching full ROM zip you know those are versions that have been tested with this ROM.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sstarlight:
Thanks will try download the full rom.

Are you using BBM? My bbm keep getting move to an area with better coverage. :confused:

my wifi is on and i can download or even browsing.. even i change to use my mobile data its keep going like that
[Nexus 4 Android Development] inimaitimepass:
Navbar resizing

Pitching in after very long time. Read thru a bunch of pages back but couldn't find the info I'm looking for, thus posting my query here.

Is the framework-res.apk now hackable so that the navbar size can be reduced? or is there anyother way to so?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
You can use this:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] inimaitimepass:
To hide or to resize?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manueltts:
Well... Maybe I played with it a bit before.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I just extracted the boot.img and it seems that some of the changes that [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] makes to the ramdisk may already be incorporated. I'd like to get [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] take on that before we repack and/or test it.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] esticbo:
I'm using the beta app
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
You mean the Blackberry app?

I don't use it but couldn't find any hits in the L app (in)compatibility thread.

Anyone else use BBM?

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
This will hide the native navbar. Amount the features, you can resize too.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Since I'm on really bad service and was a hour late for work this morning so I need to be extra good today to make up for it.

While seeing the download counter is cool and all, my stance on mirrors are they are fine with me because I know that some file hosting services aren't the best speeds depending where in the world you are.

[MENTION=2981094]bitstra[/MENTION] good luck buddy.

0.0 you can pull the anims out of the SDK, if you download the preview, there is an update and in it you will see under data/res and the framework files but each time I try adding to 81c, I get bad XML block

[MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] I seen the mentions and posts, when I get a chance I will respond to them all
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
That seems to be a good way...i think this kernel continues updated.

I was using b47 too, but idk why my Nexus always freeze with it..sometimes 3 or 4 times a day...it only happen with HC kernel, no matter i use HKM or UKM...

N such problem with furnace.

Any per app modes working on android L?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] f4ll3n:
flash or instal busybox worked for me
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Did the busybox install script not work?

Busybox is in there and works but if the install script didn't work, then it didn't install the symlinks.

This can be solved by using adb shell or a terminal emulator and typing /system/xbin/busybox install

.... I think
[Nexus 4 Android Development] swirly05:
Every time I try to call out I get "Call not sent" don't know why??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] f4ll3n:
Well i lost root access than i install busy box.zip /xbin install after that i gain access again
[Nexus 4 Android Development] vishal007:
Thanks for the suggestions. You are helpful.

BTW I don't have Galaxy Mini now. It is at home.

I think I will use connectify or similar software to share it from my laptop.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
That works too, same process
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ph37rd:
I believe it installs with the Google camera
[Nexus 4 Android Development] el_charlie:
Actually, it's Google + that adds the Photos app.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ph37rd:
OK, knew it wasn't stand alone
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Ah, I was going to ask about busybox as I didn't have it after a clean flash, but I always keep a backup so it was just a case of installing the apk. Next time I'll know to try adb shell or terminal emulator. Guess the install script didn't work for me. With that exception b6 has been running without a problem since this morning. Screen cast working again which was the only problem I had on 5.9.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
The android-L-Mako is the legacy repo and is now obsolete.

Everything is done in the rebase repos

That is the old systemUI.apk from 79 and I don't suggest using it on 81c

I will have to take a look later
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
How I solved that was updating the google play services, some people gave me crap about it because the number was higher on the preview versions. They were only higher to prevent updates and they are now caught up to them and past

Why don't you update thread title?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I wanted to get a solid day of b6 out to make sure there wasn't any bugs to patch with a .1 first

Sound search does not work for me with the latest full version! With 5.9 everythings okay... What can I do!?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ruicc:
I think you may need to install googlears.apk

Google ears is installed!

Try to clear googleears data in settings and see if it's activated in your google account (in settings)..i'm running out of ideas, for me it's working fine...

I have checked all this before... It starts an then force closed!

Any changelog of beta 6 from 5.9?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 0.0:
Where would I find the SDK? I know you posted a link to it in this thread (I'll search for it) but is that the latest one? The animation files go into the /anim folder in framework res correct?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
As far as I know there isn't a new one.

As far as the files, they are someone in this thread but if you can't search and find them, then let me know and I will reupload the zip of them.

The fonts have already been included since 5.9

The res files are framework-res files and follow the same structure as the framework-res.apk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] el_charlie:
I also have the Google Ears Force Close. I tried clearing the data and the problem persist

So sad.

Was working fine on Beta 5.9.

Cheers!

EDIT:

The solution for the above:

1. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Ears from /system.

2. Download Google Ears from the Play Store.

3. Profit!

Optional: use Titanium Backup again to convert the app as a system app.

xD
[Nexus 4 Android Development] opee:
Thats exactly what i do!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bj3096:
Came by to say the exact same thing and saw your comment :D

Clearing data doesn't work, neither does enabling it in Google sync settings or fixing permissions in recovery.

I tried to change system language to English (US) because your phone is german, like mine, but that didn't help either...

Could it at all be country related? Sound search is not available per playstore in germany. Google sync settings always says syncing error for soundsearch, but on 5.9 I just ignored this and it worked.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] opee:
I have now installed with play store... And everythings is fine!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] el_charlie:
No, my phone is from Venezuela. But in any case, I have access to the US Play Store. I did that a long time ago to enable Music, Movies Newstand and Books before they were available in my country.

I had a sleep of death on 6 coming from 5.9 and defconi's kernel. No time to check stuff, need my phone for work, but I believe it has to do with the old kernel stuff. Flashed back to ultimate unleashed on 6 with ukm and such it should be happy with that.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sidnoit22:
Clean flash is recommended.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I guess having sound search updated and pre-installed didn't work out too well. I remove that for now on and leave it up to the user to grab from the play store.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] AfroMetal:
After almost full day of testing beta 6 beta (is it proper name for what it is?) I have to say one thing: it is working. And there are no indications for change of that state. So for me it is ready to be released as only one beta.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Just got home from work so nap time (only 3 hours sleep last night) [MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] I'm gonna be redoing the op's on hammerhead and mako tonight and since the general consensus is b6 is good, I'm gonna change the thread title and update the op (gonna do a 6.0.1 for sound search and busybox tonight so an update from b6 is not required but more of a bug fix for new users for mako and hammerhead)

Any suggestions or good FAQ type stuff to put in the op for common problems, distinguish us from the the official preview (flo and hammerhead) and what issues that have disappeared and still exist between the devices? Since you have both main devices and are knowledgeable between the official previews and bbw, I figured you might be the best person to ask but others can also offer suggestions for the op.

Also do we have any script masters around here to give me a hand with converting my template to a full fledged tool that could handle dumping image files for boot and system and extracting them out and then allowing someone to repack it back up as a zip to flash

Also does anyone know of any tools that are able to extract a modern system image and basically dump it (I know there is the loop mount method of mounting the image and manually doing that but I wanna try to automate the process) so it can then be worked on (using a system image preserves the symlinks so they don't need to be done in the updater script)

We already got abootimg for boot images and I can work that easily enough to automate the process for boot images but need to come up with a solution for system images.

There is some homework for people to give me a hand to make a awesome tool for developers

I like the beta moniker so I just shortened it. So b6 bbw is the shorthand for it

Root works a 100% and has for a long while :confused:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I'll work on a draft FAQ for the Nexus 5 since there are more new users there, they have questions about why they should use this ROM instead of the official preview, and the bugs from the preview seem to be harder to fix (tethering, bluetooth, PIN lockscreen, etc).

Once that's complete it should be able to be edited and adapted for the other devices.

I have no idea what I did wrong but it wont boot for me. I used cwm and twrp both newest versions and all the farther it gets is the swirling colors and they just keep going.

Honestly the first boot does take some time. Stay with TWRP, don't flash anything but the rom on the first go around.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] treefrog20012003:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:
Clean install? may be a bad download?

If that doesn't work, soak your phone in hot water for 3 minutes and then try again
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BenzoX:
Yeah, try a clean install.

I had this first time and i assumed it was because of heat (phone was burning hot). I looked at logcat (or kmsg, can't remember) with adb and saw a lot of heat warning.

I rebooted, tried to do some air cooling with cold hair dryer and it booted in 10 minutes. (I use multirom and flashed rom zip only with the "don't share kernel" option.) Maybe coincidence or maybe heat, Nexus 4 throthling is quite agressive.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ph37rd:
I'm a bit late to the game and haven't read back through your posts. I'm going to assume it's a clean install. If you decide to flash one more time, instead of rebooting immediately after the flash is done, go back to the main menu and reboot to bootloader, select power off, wait a few seconds and start your phone. I've done this a few times to correct issues and since then has become my standard. No problems since starting this routine, whether dirty or clean flash. Maybe I just haven't had any issues to crop up, but at the same time, I've not had any issues crop up... :good:
