So another verification that everything works as it's supposed to (I hope). Nothing strange happened, no bugs, no crashes. I guess it is strong candidate for release.

Thank you guys for all your work, especially [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] and other devs who are less recognizable in this thread. I owe you.

It's funny how you also talk on hangouts with strangers just to get this finished... Haven't your parents ever told you don't talk to strangers? And PLEEEAASEEE tell me you at least know defconoi in person...

(Face to face not screen to screen)

When I was little my parents yelled at me for controlling a random stranger's computer so we could play a game online together even though I knew nothing about him... :P

Why use nandroids on 8GB phone when you have fastboot?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fishears:
Nova 3.1 is in Play Store so why do you need to install from storage?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hazwheel:
Might be 16gb... And nandroids are much easier for most people [emoji2]

Sorry if this is already asked, are the network and WiFi icons changed in latest 5.9 or is this due to dirty flash?

Not facing any other issue BTW, running smooth as butter
[Nexus 4 Android Development] VirtualMontage:
I'm currently running B5 bunny stew and kool-aid, is this supposed to be normal? I'm just wondering because I noticed B5.9 no longer has this style for the wifi/data indicators.

I literally just made a post about this below you, hahaha. I'm guessing it was changed.

Quick question, other than those obvious status bar changes, what other major differences are there between B5 and B5.9?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] patil.ketan:
:thumbup:Ha ha... How's that for timing... :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] VirtualMontage:
Would you happen to know any major changes from B5 to B5.9? I read that there is an NFC fix and that it actually turns off? I haven't had any issues with NFC on B5.

If you have an app that tints the screen, that is the cause. Shades, Lux, etc. Either that, or your screen brightness is too low. Raise it all the way, and try again. This is a security feature of Android to prevent malicious apps from installing

I've flashed this provided a few posts before and this replaced the old KK style icons by the new Android L icons! :good:

Thanks dictionary, as soon as I uninstalled lux I was able to install apk's again.

I reinstalled it as I like the way it handles night mode.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bitstra:
of course - there is a zip - you have to click on download icon on top of the site (the down arrow):)

But these are not the original L icons! they are nice but not original:(

If have used lpv81c original - you would have seen it.

Is just shows a list of files. No download link or anything for me.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] VirtualMontage:
So the ones in the picture are new for Android L? If so, I truly hope there is an adjustment to the battery indicator. I feel like it needs a refreshment.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Since people are asking again. 5.9 is completely redone with a new 81c source, it is basically a whole new ROM so it is up as a test because it is such a huge shift between 5.0 and 5.9

I didn't add any tweaks in yet for icons or even the Bluetooth to say nexus 4 yet, that is part of finishing it up for b6.

NFC takes a reboot to function properly after first boot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bitstra:
... as i said in post #11195:

the icons in the port are original lpv81c icons...

So hammerhead, flo and deb get the seal of approval?

Are they good enough to stand on their own?

Deb still needs some work on the radio but that might be best figured out by deb guys on how to manually connect it without having access to the options in settings
[Nexus 4 Android Development] psycho693:
Hammerhead is definitely good to go. I used my n5 as a normal use age kind if deal and on the other one I made my kid play games and lots of other things to see how well it would handle the constant use. It didn't freeze up or crash. I would even call it stable lol.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Are you referring to the preview binaries that I extracted earlier this week (probably not since those are L) or the stock KitKat versions? The latter would make more sense if the AOSP ROM wants to see KitKat binaries.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Try the 4.4.4 binaries into the aosp. I'm pretty sure we can track down the one that is killing the radio and once you find out which one is killing it in aosp, then we should be able to work it into L
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Thanks for that.

We could be doing a lot of the communication about the testing in PM, and that's probably the norm on XDA, but since [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] is pretty laid back about what gets posted in the thread having it here gives many users the chance to see how they can be part of the process and not just hang back waiting for the next release.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] PhoenixMike:
Has anyone found a fix or workaround for the wireless charging?

I would place the phone on the pad and it would charge, stop, charge, stop, etc every second or so. I have to keep picking up the phone and placing it back randomly before it gets a steady charge. Even then its very slow to charge.

Not sure if this is an Android thing in general or "L" bug since I've seen a few others with the same issue.

Gf Nexus on KK works fine.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
:confused:

But a clean flash of that AOSP ROM without flashing a custom kernel resulted in the same issues with the cellular communications.

The problem may actually be the radio firmware itself. According to this post there is a new radio for lpv79 but not for lpv81c, and it has a link to the lpv79 radio.

This post by the same user has a link to the stock radio for 4.4.4 which must be different than the one for the L preview. I can't remember if it was lpv79 or lpv81c but I did flash one version of the preview on my Nexus 5 with the official "flashall.bat" procedure so I'm probably on the L firmware. I can try going back to the KitKat radio firmware to see if that fixes the KitKat kernel issue and still works with the stock "L" kernel unless you can think of some reason why that couldn't be the problem with KitKat custom kernels and the N5 preview.

This "problem" (Google wouldn't consider it that) may exist only on the Nexus 5 since it is the only official preview device with cellular communications and therefore the only one that got a radio firmware update that affected those functions. Perhaps the "L" kernels that have been released for the N5 to date have done something to address radio firmware changes?

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] eluspo:
So far so good here.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
The only thing really different in the aosp is the preview binaries from a regular master kit Kat build. The master should always build and it is still set up for kit Kat so if we put the regular 4.4.4 binaries back into the build, the radio would work even if there was a new radio

Since the stock kit Kat kernel is having the same issue, we can track it down that it is indeed not a custom kernel issue or even a kernel issue.

So what's the same between my compiled aosp with preview binaries and L? The new proprietary files

When I looked into the preview images I didn't see a new radio for it :confused:

It has to be one of the new proprietary binaries and my guess would be either the qmux or the qcril
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
That was this post.

It's fine that some people prefer the solid icons for WiFi and cellular signals, but they are definitely not from the official L preview.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] matonka007:
Have the same problem :( Using last 77u-r3 kernel and 5.9 version of L.

But sometimes I have worse problem, I have unresponsive touch, turn on display, but touch doesnt work. I must reboot it by long press power button. :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Check this article with instructions for flashing the L preview on the Nexus 5. From the Windows section:

fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.08.img

It's pretty simple to flash back to the kitkat radio so I'm going to try that first but if that doesn't work I might need your help identifying exactly which ROM files to replace. If you can give me the nexus 4 equivalents that would help since they should be similar with both phones having a Qualcomm SOC.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Isn't that same radio as in kit Kat? I know where identified that the radio and boot loader on the n7 was the exact same one as in kit Kat there.

As far as the files. The same proprietary files that you have would be the same ones that we would have to pull all the 4.4.4 ROM. If you want when I get back home I can pull them out and put them in a zip with their locations and stage them from most likely culprits down to least likely culprits.

I'm pretty sure it is one of those proprietary files and I'm leaning towards the qcril or the qmux as the most likely culprits.

I'm up at Chevy getting my freebie oil change so I will be a little bit
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KrisMurdrum:
I've been using wireless charging exclusively since May due to USB port problems. So far the only problems I've had with the wireless charger stems from dirty charging pad or the back of the phone being too dirty... Or both sometimes.

I'd recommend you try to clean the pad (and the back of your phone) with a moist microfiber cloth. Make sure the phone actually sticks to the pad.

Somehow flashing that AOSP ROM wiped out my simulated SD card on my internal storage so It's going to take me a while to get 5.9.6 re-installed and then flash the KitKat firmware and Hellscore kernel. I just checked the updater-script and don't see any reference to the data partition so I don't know how that happened unless it was when I tried to copy over the KitKat firmware zip file via MTP. Perhaps that corrupted the virtual SD card somehow. :confused:

Just reporting that so no one else tries that ROM without backing up their SD card.

No, the radio in L is different.

See this post.

I have a grouper and i can test your build and report bugs (but i'm a noob on development) i hope you can make Nexus 7 2012 grouper faster and smoother..with KK became laggy

Thanks for the awesome work

Wonderful ROM, only have a minor gripe: when trying to configure my work place email via the integrated mail app using IMAP, SSL produces a protocoll error when configuring the account. This does not happen with any other rom.

So can guys using the new modem use kit Kat and custom kernels? If so then it isn't that
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I was using the new L modem and couldn't.

That's why I'm going back to the KitKat modem to see if I can.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I did not know that. Why would a new radio be needed for L though when we don't need one on mako though
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KrisMurdrum:
Maybe due to that fancy seamless switching between antennas that L is supposed to introduce?

Could be part of that whole only offering preview on one phone stuff
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
But then we can get it to work with a kit Kat modem and use kit Kat kernels. It isn't a finalized preview or radio nor even kernel version so it shouldn't matter
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hazwheel:
Hmmm... I use lux as well, I like the night mode too, but I never had problems installing apps with it. Had to turn off the persistent icon though cos it always showed as a notification on the lock screen.

Sent from L
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Remember that Mako isn't supported for the official L preview. It will probably get a new radio when it is. And apparently at least most of the L code can run on the KitKat radio since that's what Mako is using. Maybe the KitKat radio has to do with the Bluetooth issues as well?

BTW, it turns out that the AOSP ROM didn't wipe out my simulated SD card, it just moved everything to a directory called "0". I guess that's how it supports multi-user since the first userid is "0".

I found that out when I tried to restore the SD card and ran out of space almost immediately. The files were still there they were just hidden in that "0" directory.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Give it a try with the kit Kat kernel. I just know qmux is a proprietary qcom socket for handling Bluetooth , GPS and radio so it is a good chance that could be the issue
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bj3096:
The news & weather app disappeared updating from b5 to 5.9 on mako. Did Google include it in the first preview and then left it out?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bitstra:
Sorry for the late answer to your question - was invited to dinner... (guess what came onto the table? - FISH)

L-Flo-breadcrumbs-n-Bunnies-5.9.6 runs solid as rock! - so I, for my part, can give the seal approval!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
No I removed it for this go around, it is still in the 81c preview
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
But why would the version included in the 5.9.6 ROM zip work fine with the default kernel and not with KitKat versions? Are you saying that those files were updated in L to only work with L-based kernels? Perhaps the API from the kernel to those modules has changed and thus the need for a separate "L" kernel?

I just finished restoring 5.9.6 and found out that I still had the KitKat version of the radio firmware. Flashing Hellscore produced the same radio errors so then I flashed the L radio firmware and still got the same errors. However, while checking the baseband level in settings I found that it showed "unknown" for both radio versions when the Hellscore kernel was installed so clearly the KitKat based kernel is not picking up the basic radio configuration correctly with either version of the firmware. I'm going to stay with the "L" version of the radio firmware for now to see if that affects anything else.

If you can provide the files you want to replace in the order you want to try them we can give that a shot.

I tried using chromecast to cast my screen but screen was just black on tv. I'm on mako 5.9. Is this an known issue? I know I could cast my screen on b5 or might it be an update from Chromecast?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I was just thinking that if the API (HAL) changed for the modem related proprietary files that could be why kernel changes are required for L and that would also mean that back level versions of those files may not work with the default kernel.

We should test the default kernel first when replacing those files before trying a custom KitKat kernel.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Will do. Sorry, I was trying to wheel and deal to turn my 14 camaro into a rs convertible for less then $90 a month more. No go yet, going back on Wednesday to try some more
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
I just tested the cast function with 5.9 on the Nexus 4 and it worked fine for me. Did you re-install the Chromecast app after you upgraded from B5?

Couldn't you tell what kernel changes are required for "L" by looking at the githubs of the two custom L kernels already available for Nexus 5? If the developers didn't include those they are in violation of XDA's GPL policy.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
You can what the changes are from the preview kernel to the last ones but if we can get around the need for them, then it would open it up.

Most kernel devs don't wanna work on a unfinished kernel when it is just slightly different kit Kat kernel and the next version is a 3.10 or higher kernel
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
We should be able to use aosp hal files for everything so I don't think that is the problem. I just got home so give me a little bit and I will work a package up.

I don't think the modem is the key here either. It is something to do with qcom's proprietary files because it carried over into aosp when we used them
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Could you wrap your ramdisk changes around the Nexus 5 stock 4.4.4 kitkat kernel to see if that works with the L preview?

My bet is that it won't, which would prove that kernel changes are required for the vanilla L environment, and if we have to back level the HAL modules to make KitKat kernels work then there is a good chance that something else may break in the process.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It won't work because you proved that by going back with aosp with the stock kernel and aosp with the new preview binaries and that broke.

Yes there is kernel changes to work with the new stuff, that is known but we wanna try to revert those changes without changing anything in a kernel so we can use kit kernels as is so chasing it in the kernel is the opposite of what I'm trying to do.

The new kernel has to work with the new props, we are trying to see if we can revert the props to work with old kernels and play nice.

We already know the kit Kat ril files work on L.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ramjet73:
Based on the Nexus 4 experience?

But the Nexus 5 is a different beast since it has more native L stuff that could break if it does't like the back level versions.

I'm not saying don't try it, just pointing out that it may break other things on the N5. I'm perfectly happy with 5.9.6 for the N5 as is, but I realize that other users are anxious to get custom kernel alternatives for L on the nexus 5 beyond the one unofficial version that is already available.

IMO it would be better to use L based kernels that incorporate your ramdisk changes and I know the original developer that was considered is out, but I did mention yesterday there is another one available now.

ramjet73
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
[MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] it is going to be one of these files that is breaking it. I would start with all the qcril stuff first then work to the qmux and qsee stuff and as a last case, the bin/rmt_storage, then try the qmi stuff in the maybe. It is one of these that is breaking the radio

# Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) devices

/dev/socket/qmux_audio(/.*)? u:object_r:qmuxd_socket:s0

/dev/socket/qmux_bluetooth(/.*)? u:object_r:qmuxd_socket:s0

/dev/socket/qmux_gps(/.*)? u:object_r:qmuxd_socket:s0

/dev/socket/qmux_radio(/.*)? u:object_r:qmuxd_socket:s0

see everything that routes through that? gps, bluetooth, radio and audio. Everything that is an issue on L goes through that qmi and then the qmuxd
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I did see that but what we are seeing on the radio might just be the tip of the iceburg sticking out and is most noticable on the n5 because of the radio.

What if what we are seeing here is actually what is causing the location and bluetooth to be screwy and this the shining light.

I got 5.9.6 as far as it is and smooth by not ignoring those things and instead chased after them because the other way seemed good enough for everyone else but I saw something and went above solving it. Sure we had a permissive hack before but I knew we could get it deeper, how much did that improve speed and stability. Sometimes you just gotta chase the rabbit and make a good stew afterwards :silly:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
We are gonna see what can be done in the future to see about things like that but to be honest, it is low priority vs merging in newer aosp and stability/speed things
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I'm gonna take a Edison but afterwards I'm gonna be trying some experiments (b7) stuff on the qmi and qmux stuff myself for mako to see if that is our Bluetooth and GPS issues and what would happen if we roll it all back to kit Kat.

Plus I'm gonna try going after the egl now that we have a clean rebase, if I can get this to work then I won't have to fight bacon on the caf video drivers either and we can start merging in newer aosp (I want the new art code)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mightybrick:
Yes, that is an inconsistency, but lets not forget that this *is* a developer preview and not an end-user release. It should be fixed in the official release.
