I've discussed it with [MENTION=2981094]bitstra[/MENTION] about having a google app installer added into the app (abnormal) and it is possible that we might do it.

Since we use a method that is able to install itself into system/priv-app, we could use a similar method to be able to install google apps (we would say fetch a minimum gapps package to cya) and then install them to their respective locations. From there, could probably have a ui to select what other gapps someone wants and do a silent installer.

Or we could do a lazy way that would take a tibu approach, make a recovery based zip of what gapps someone wants and call recovery to install those files but then we need to add a edify generator in somehow
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pereira.Pedro:
Where can I find the gapps? Happy Christmas guys
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
You got banks in the simple aosp thread or you got pa's alpha 5.0 apps which can be easily googled. I'm being a bit lazy right now with adding all the links to the g+ post like I did the last one
[Nexus 4 Android Development] googleygoggles:
Yeah... I've seen the alpha 5.0 apps on my nexus 4 but it said insufficient space in system or whatever the error was.

Grouper running better than ever, and what I assumed was a hardware limitation turns out not to have been, as it now runs smoothly with lots of apps open in recents. Whereas before I was having to routinely swipe apps away to prevent the system from getting bogged down.

Looks like you black theme is moving along well :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
Lol! Im sure ppl from the n9 section would love some frank love since there's like only one rom available the last time I checked.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
Once you start, you cant stop. ?

Uploading now..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I'll look at adding one a bit later but I look at it like manta, normally those large tablets are really too big on flashing (speaking of manta, I do have a new frank for it on my computer that I still gotta upload but that finishes out the compile for all the devices)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Will I be able to use it on my n6?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
Errr... You're the rom developer man. I should be asking you that question not the other way around. Lol.. I dont know.. Maybe upload me the framework-res.apk, settings.apk and systemui.apk and ill theme it for you..

But then in simple aosp rom, i made the theme from n5 files and it works on n4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It was the nice way of saying do you need the system files. I zipped them up for you and they will be in a folder called (files for theming not flashable) for the n5, n6, and n4 plus I can make clean and still have a backup then of all those files in case I need them
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TA123:
What PA Gapps do people use? There are a lot of packages now, from stock to pico as far as I can see. I need a package which has a near-by places feature (I did not have it last time).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
??? okay I'll try my best. Hope i dont break your n6..

So for those who is feeling lucky you can try flash these theme on your n4. I honestly dont know if it works or not. But it worked in simple aosp. I dont made revert zip this time so make a nandroid first.

Dark theme : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069652

Black theme : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069653
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
BTW do you have a n4 or just a n5? This way I know if I fix the buggy rro in lollipop, you will be able to test it for theming if I just make a n4 version for it
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hazwheel:
It feels huge after using my grouper, and darned smooth. HD video is stunning. I think I love it more than my wife, and she bought it for me [emoji12]

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
XD you cheater! Don't let your wife find you in bed with the n9 caressing it! I have a grouper and manta as well so I didn't want to upgrade.. The 4:3 put me off a bit especially for media consumption.. I am considering getting a surface pro 3 to replace my 4 year old laptop since I'd like to have a digitizer stylus and a laptop replacement as well.. [emoji14]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
N5 only. My only phone.. Btw i see n4 and n5 system but still not the n6. Oh wait, the files you upload is 250mb big. Thats the whole rom?

Cant download big files as internet is limited to 5gb a month and speed is very slow in here. Mind upload me only the framework-res.apk , settings.apk and systemui.apk only?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Sure. No problem

Edit. N6-certain-files is uploaded and has just those apks.

As far as theming, you can get away with using the same system ui, settings and framework-res.apk on the n4 and n5 but you gotta change one file I think it is value/power something which is the battery/power profile.

The n6 though will need a different framework-res.apk though since if you try to use the n5 version on it then USB tether will be broke and vice versa.

That was the problem on the last B series and why tethering wouldn't work. Moto does the USB files bit differently so it will get stuck in a loop
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
what does that battery/power profile do? do you know where exactly that file in? i cant seem to find it.. but ill look for it again later..

meanwhile, dark or pure black for the n6?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Don't use it too much. That has the forced encryption just like the n6 (I just modified it to be optional) so in order to be non-encrpted and get your performance back, you have to wipe the /data partition in recovery.

Oh and BTW, running a quick flounder compile to see if it even compiles. The n9 device tree is funny, you got flounder 32, 64 or 64 only. The 32 and 64 just pull on the same aosp.Mk file which doesn't show any difference so I bypassed it.

I assume it plays out like early computers with 64 bit though and for best compatiblity, you would want the 32/64 version which is still mostly 32 bit for everything but at least it isn't a huge pita
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
Yeah I saw in that one rom thread there, where they were discussing about it.. For now 32/64 and after a few months go full 64 was what the dev there decided to do after seeing input from users...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
From looking at your screenshots, pure black looks better.

The exact file (I was wrong on value) is framework-res.apk/res/XML/power_profile.XML and it is your power profile for how it uses the battery.

Just loading it in short term won't make a difference other then showing a incorrect battery level but I wouldn't keep it there long term
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
so its better and easier if i make the theme for n4 with framework from n4? or do i edit something in that xml?

any way i cant make the settings all black now, still got the thick white divider lines there. i keep it because when i edit it, i lost the touch animation.. and i really like the touch animation..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
so you can see the exact file https://github.com/The-Ancile-Proje...kie-mr-1.0/core/res/res/xml/power_profile.xml

if you notice, it sets the current level which is why I said long term it is bad but testing is fine

and each device has it's own overlay in the device tree for that specific device https://github.com/The-Ancile-Proje...works/base/core/res/res/xml/power_profile.xml
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
I can kinda understand what you mean by Lp being totally different in the n6 compared to n4 and n5..

I installed it on my mums s3 (SAMOLED as well).. They finally managed to fix the broken hwc since the 4.1 era for aosp roms(thanks to Sammys ever so generous action if not being totally open source with exynos stuff) ..it does feel totally different from n4..... The amoled really makes a difference. Feels like your touching the screen directly and the ui just flows..... Compared to the n4 lcd, it feels different... Not sure if you mean it in the same way but this is my opinion on it... [emoji14]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It will be better but from what I learned on the n4 and then porting the n6 frameworks from a leaked n6 was that they are pretty much cross compatible except for the power_profile.XML which you can then just grab from the device you are working for and replace in your framework.

Each device is a bit different so for best results, use the framework-res for that device especially because every device has a different overlay that changes small things but tailor it for that device, I could show you more about overlays if you like so you get a better idea.

What might actually be a better idea long term to consider is actually packaging all the different device files in one zip to flash that does a assert check on the device to flash the proper files in.

The pa google apps would be a good example updater-binary on how to do that based on the device with if/else statements.

As far as the n6, it doesn't have the led light option in settings because it is hidden
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Truthfully, I wouldn't go full 64 for a long time being really the only 64 bit device out there, there would be incompatible apps left and right until more devices go 64 bit
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I like IPS a lot and was never really a fan of amoled but with lollipop, it is like it is designed for one and like you said, it feels like you are actually touching into the screen and the colors look perfect with it and just feel like they pop
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
Amoled is pretty good since I used the s3 before the n4 and still use it when I update stuff for my mum.. The only problem was Samsung color reproduction on the older models.. Moto has done a pretty good job with it and now Samsung is overpowering all other screens with its newer amoled displays and their color reproduction is supposedly the most accurate (displaymate article).. And yeah lcd is alright but it does feel like there's a glass between your finger and the screen when in amoled it doesn't feel existent.. :silly:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I had the s3 before I got my n4 along with my father has one also. I agree the older Samsung amoled screens weren't all that great with the colors but these days, amoled is actually pretty nice
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
But with custom kernels, it was possible to get accurate colours which was measured with colorimeters and it's been pretty much spot on in terms of colour from then on, white was white and not some other weird colour [emoji14] .. How's the battery on the n6 (if you've put it through its paces)?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I gave it a full run from 100% down to 3%. I left all the stock settings as they came and on stock 5.0.1 and standby time was great even with listening to music and casual use answering here, g+ and hangouts. I eventually just put movies and let it run to kill down the battery and ended up with about 5 hours screen on time.

With some tweaking of the settings and frank though, I think it would have some awesome battery life for my use which is mostly pretty heavy on talking to people.

The awesome part was the turbo charger, it took a little over an hour to go from 3% to 100% and was halfway charged in a half hour so that really does make a huge difference.

I actually posted all these on my g+ last night while also doing a comparison between the g3, 1+1 and n6.

BTW, the 1+1 is actually almost the same size as the n6 so for anyone thinking the n6 is a huge phone and is thinking about upgrading to the 1+1 because the n6 is too big might want to reconsider that.

It is kinda hard for a consumer to judge a size difference when the 1+1 can't be checked out in a store
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
Owh that sounds awesome.. I don't care for 1+1 that much even though the price is a steal.. 1 of my gripes about it is Capacitive buttons = wasted space which could've been the screen = less bezels.. Felt the Same about the s3.. Oh well. I'll hold of on upgrading since I'm satisfied with the n4 now.. Will upgrade when I will get 4g access in about 7-8 months...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
i think next time its better to use the device framework for each theme..

ill have a look at the pa gapps to see if i understand it..

anyway im done with the n6 theme.. i dont even know if it works as i cant try it.. so are you feeling lucky syko?

here is the link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069722

and im off to bed, 11pm here and got to work tomorrow.. but please keep me updated hows the theme for the n6..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Here is my review between the devices https://plus.google.com/118195502410326243266/posts/cH8dzZjFX2c

Truthfully though lollipop brought new life into the older Nexus devices to the point that the n4 runs almost the same as the n5 (speaking of frank here) which [MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] would probably agree with since he has both.

I would be actually content and wouldn't even worry about upgrading from the n4 unless you have screen envy or your n4 is in pretty rough condition.

With all the 805 devices starting to hit the market plus Samsung advances in ram recently plus being at the cusp of 64 bit, it would probably be best to wait unless you are looking at the n6 because of pure android and aosp code
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I won't get a chance to test it for a bit since my computer is tied up compiling for the n9 and I gotta head down to Philly to pick up my aunt in a bit to go to Christmas dinner and then drive her back down after ways so I will be tied up for several hours.

(I still haven't root my n6 yet either though so I gotta do that first :p)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
That was also one of the main reasons I'm holding off since S810 and others are coming up in a while.. It'll be jus let nice by the time they come out when I would get 4G (when I go back to uni).. And now Samsung RAM ddr4 versions sound awesome..

[MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] I know that you're not paying attention to toolchains and what not, and honestly can't remember if I have or someone else has asked before, but have you taken a look at the sabermod toolchain and compared it to linaro? [emoji14]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Exactly. I wouldn't upgrade to a 800 or a 801 device like the g3 or 1+1 right now with 805s out and the 810 right around the corner.

The 801 was just a speed bump over the 800 so going from a n5 to a g3/1+1 is pretty much not much of an upgrade.

The 805 in the n6 brings a new GPU, is an actual upgraded chipset but the the GPU is definitely the biggest update here

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Targaeryan:
Exactly.. Qualcomm should've just jumped from 800 to 805 instead of producing 801 since they weren't ready for 810.. And defconoi was also "complaining" about Google not using newer kernels.. 3.10 only has another 5 months left before EOL.... And they probably didn't want to devote resources to update to new kernel versions for the n7s and n4/n5..

I should've read this earlier :D just got my g3, and all you wrote is so darn true. But the worst is that Vodafone g3 is full of preinstalled apps, which are totally in vain. Flashing needed, big time. But other than the random bloatware, I kinda like it, but looking at the g3 forums, Judge Dredd keeps those clean, and on topic. Its terrible. No extorting money, no case advices, nothing. I feel like I will keep my N4, just so I can test the Franks, and stay in this thread :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I'll be honest that I hadn't really looked at sabermod as a toolchain.

For right now I'm gonna stick with linaro and the same flags as I got because it seems like a rock solid combination.

Also it appears in aosp (who know what google will do) that will be going to GCC 4.9 along with a updated clang for 5.1. I know linaro has been contributing to aosp for on both so that also weighs my decision to stick with it.

It seems we will be getting a pretty big under the hood upgrade in 5.1 though with the introduction of jack and Jill, toybox is replacing BSD toolbox (the development is heavy here and bitstra and I have to watch on this), heavy art development is happening along with bionic so 5.1 will probably be a pretty heavy upgrade for ROM developers
