These are just my personal impressions.

OPO touch screen sometimes feels like old car with a bit loose steering wheel.

N5 drives like new Mitsubishi Evolution. It's sharp and it does exactly and precisely what you want and when you want.

It's most visible to me when slide down from top right edge of screen to develop Quick Settings. On N5 it always work. Always. On OPO it rarely works. Usually I have to slide two or there times for QS to come down. What I noticed is that my OPO has problems with correctly registering slides which start off the screen, from the speaker level. When I slide down starting on status bar it almost always work. Small inconvenience but enjoying to me.

There are some horrible videos on YouTube showing ghost touches and other bizarre behaviour of OPO's touchscreen. None of them happened to me. Swipe typing works fine, it's what I'm doing now.

I'm not saying OPO's touchscreen is bad. Not at all. It's good. It does the job. It's just not top of a mountain world class champion like N5 ;)

OPO's speaker is better. Laud and clear. Maybe it's not something audiophile would use to listen to music, but it's good enough to listen to audio books or answering calls when driving home/work. It's mounted on universal jaw phone holder on right side of steering wheel where I can easy swipe down to answer call on loudspeaker. It's one of the small biggest things we have thanks to [MENTION=3087740]Jubakuba[/MENTION] :)

Latest build doesn't install latest media sounds, keeps all old ones which then don't work.

Formatted system/cache/dalvik.

Is full wipe needed?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
Any new build?tnx guys!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swat4samp:
Unless there is an official slim release, there won't be any sabermod build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Not ALWAYS true strictly speaking. Sometimes if Robbie see's an open commit he really likes he'll throw a build together sometimes to allow the masses to enjoy as well. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I will probably do a new build tonight sometime. EST.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
So how's the 1+ treating you there Robbie? Still glad you switched? Just curious. I know I've seen a couple articles about the One + 2 and supposedly they won't have the invite system anymore for that one.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Yes. I definitely am still happy w/ my decision. I'm not sure about the N6. I might just hold out for 1+2. See what their price is gonna look like. Then again, I get a big bonus on 1st of Dec. Might get N6. Not sure. Price really pisses me off!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Maramu:
I agree. 650euro is too much for not so much extra TBH. I wouldn't have blinked an eye if it were 64bit cpu and 4 GB ram, but as it is, the N5 will still do for the next months.

New build compiling now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Aannnd, downloading. Thank you sir ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey guys and this is for Robbie too, not sure what the problem was but Robbie just did a 8.8 hammerhead build. I clean wiped flashed the 8.8 build + beta gapps 310 + latest bricked + su binaries 2.14. Checked the md5 and all but when I got to the end of initial setup I kept getting setup FC's. It was right at the end of the install where it shows you your name and you hit the finish button. I tried 3 clean installs and finally on the 3rd time I managed to get around it. I got into the play store and installed Apex and it stopped. So I don't know if it's a launcher issue, but as soon as I installed apex the error messages went away. Just thought I'd let ya know.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Thanks for the thanks Efan ? Well, appears to be a launcher issue. Doing my regular setup and all appears normal now. Not sure if it was a rom or a launcher issue so thought even though officially it's not an official official build I would post here anywho in case any others had problems or maybe something for the team to look at. ?

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Hey Robbie, I was just thinking, did you forget to add something in? When I got apex installed and I hit the home button it didn't ask me to pick a launcher. So was there actually no launcher there? Also when I went into my root uninstaller I didn't see a launcher there either? Maybe I'm off, but a commit maybe left out or something? It works just fine now, just thinking with what I saw maybe you missed something?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
There had to be some sort of launcher in place in order for you to get into the play store in the first place. I think that we switched over to Slim Launcher this week. Do you not see Slim Launcher anywhere? Did anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Nope, didn't see a launcher anywhere. The only way I was able to get to the play store was because my apps started redownloading themselves. So I pulled down the notif shade, hit the app downloading notification and got in that way. There was no way for me to get into the app drawer, so I got lucky. Just weird.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Yeah just for fun ? installed nova, hit the home button and it asked me which launcher I want to use. What made me think something might be missing is because whenever I do a clean install I go into an uninstaller app and just get rid of a few system apps I don't use. Well, I didn't see nova or anything else in their, just apex this time, unless it's just not showing up in the app. But the one I use it shows all the apps including one's considered core apps, etc.

Like I said seems to be running perfect now though, just that hangup at first boot. ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Hmmm. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, hopefully we'll get feedback from other's. It's been a long time since I've had problems with an install. If you have any other ideas you want me to try I'll be up for a bit yet, just let me know ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I figured it out. You were right! There was no launcher! Lol. I added Slim Launcher to my manifest. It will be built w/ that as default from now on.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Now tell my wife to say that every now and then ? No problem, glad I could help ? I'm getting ? now though so I'll load up anything you do for the N5 and your N7 build tomorrow. Glad it was a fairly easy fix though. See ya in the morning Robbie ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] docck:
My dirty flash of actual build with nova as default launcher was without problems. Noticed that nova was missed in ROM just now when I checked is nova free version or prime (every time after update I reinstall prime via apk file)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shane_IL:
Also didn't see the new launcher anywhere. New play store issues yet though.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Dude, once you're married that's it, you will never be right again, ever. Just nod your head and say "Yes Dear" .
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
The new launcher isn't in this build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shane_IL:
Yeah sorry, was replying to the first report of it, my computer did a brainfart and didn't load the comments after that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
damn, I should read the last posts first...^^

well a possible workaround for people that downloaded the no launcher version:

go to settings (thought statusbar) and add the playstore to your slimpie/navbar.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Ok guys. I uploaded another new build w/ the Slim Launcher. There shouldn't be anymore launcher problems. Sorry about that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Hey Robbie! My Bro Loves Your ROM on His N5. I Just Wanted to Ask for a Manual Method to Convert this ROM to F2FS. The Tools I Tried Gave Me FCs. There was a Manual Procedure for My bacon which Worked Perfectly. Do You Know Anything Similar for This?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Not right off the top of my head. I have never messed w/ f2fs. Doesn't it need kernel support first?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Bricked Kernel Works Perfectly on Your ROM And Also Supports F2FS. Just So Maybe If Someone Could Just Bump Me in the Right Direction?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I will look into adding the f2fs commits to the kernel. I don't know anything else about f2fs lol. Maybe another user will be able to help you. Do you see that much of an advantage when using it???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Okay...No Probs...Thanx. Yeah, The Whole System Gets a New Level of Responsiveness
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I'll have to look into it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adl:
Just to clarify: Nova Launcher is or isn't included in the latest build? My brain is getting confused due to the Slim Launcher thing which was also released. [emoji4]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Nova Launcher is now gone & Slim Launcher has taken it's place. From now on, Slim Launcher will ship as the default launcher.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
As far as I know you need two things: a kernel that supports f2fs and a ramdisk supporting it.

e.g. elementalx does support f2fs but doesn't include a ramdisk supporting it.

if i remember it right, slim kernel doesn't include a (fitting)ramdisk nor a kernel.

so if you want f2fs you need a custom kernel.

e.g:

like [MENTION=5198126]ViditM14[/MENTION] said bricked or any other kernel supporting it

or

(for elementalx and i belive faux)

flash an kernel which includes a proper ramdisk

then flash elementalx/faux

never tried any tools, but this method always worked for me on my old N4.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I just picked all of the f2fs commits from Bricked. Next build, the stock kernel should support f2fs.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
I've never used f2fs either but remember reading that you need a recovery that supports converting your phone to f2fs as well. Does the regular twrp do this. I thought I remember reading it would also wipe your phone in the transition. I'm interested too, but a couple questions myself. And good morning all :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] thagringo:
havent used f2fs on the n5 either but i guess its the same for all devices : you need support for it in the kernel & ramdisk, the rom has to be f2fs aware too ( there are a few conversion scripts floating around for this task) and of course, as you say, a recovery that supports formatting f2fs.

Thats it as far as i know.

cheers all !
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
Guys how is the kernel that came with the rom compared to blue kernel?Tnx a lot!!!!Your rom is amazing!!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Heya Robbie. Well I have some good news and bad news. Good news is I loaded up your new new build on my N5 and Brilliant! Runs really awesome. Bad news is I loaded up your new build on the wife's N7 and Brilliant! Too brilliant actually. Now she wants to name our first born Robbie, which I don't have a problem with. Robbie's a pretty cool name, but she doesn't care if it's a boy or a girl and she wants it to be EXACTLY RobbieL811! Dang it all Robbie! Why must your ROM's be so good? :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
[MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] sorry mate....do you use the kernel that come with your rom or blue kernel?There are many differences?Tnx mate and tnx for your amazing rom :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Yeah. I use the kernel that's packages w/ the ROM. There's nothing wrong w/ flashing a kernel also though if you want. I hear good things about Code Blue. I just like the toolchain that my kernel is compiled w/. I feel like it adds speed. Also, battery life is pretty good. It is a good kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Maramu:
[MENTION=5293254]Flamehell[/MENTION] I've used both CodeBlue and EX kernels. I also reverted to Robbie's stock. It just feels faster and gave me excellent battery life.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Well, I Got It All Figured Out and Now My Bro's N5 is F2FS-All (system, data and cache are all F2FS). I Am Using the Latest 21st Oct Build along With Bricked Kernel (Any Other Kernel With F2FS Compatibility Will Work Like Linaro, ElementalX, etc).

1st of All, to Convert this ROM to F2FS, Follow this Guide Here:-

http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...-5-faster-flash-friendly-file-system-0156428/

Then, Download the Modified TWRP Recovery from MultiROM's Thread and Use it to Convert /system, /data and /cache from EXT4 to F2FS. (THIS WILL WIPE THE WHOLE INTERNAL STORAGE! BACKUP FIRST TO YOUR PC). Then, Mount MTP From TWRP and Copy the New F2FS ROM You Made Using the Above Link along With GApps and Kernel (Optional) to The Phone's TWRP Folder (It Just Can't Be Copied Anywhere Else) or You Can Simply ADB Sideload These Files. Now, Just Flash Them and Reboot and Voila! Feel the Difference!

You Can Also Manually Modify the ROM Using this Guide:-

[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Good guide, but will it wipe internal storage if you go to convert after a clean install then?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Yes It Will as You'll Have to Format All the Partitions to F2FS. But, Once the Partitions Are Converted, Then You Just Need to Convert the ROM Every Time to F2FS And Proceed with a Normal Flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NeoXP:
Thx for this, could you share your experience about performance and batterylife?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
With F2FS, The Battery Life Isn't Affected Much. But, The Overall Performance of the System Increases Which Can Be Easily Noticed. Apps Are Snappier, Especially Games Like Modern Combat 5, XCOM, etc Which are Graphic Intensive. Also, the Read/Write Speeds Get a Tremendous Bump as You Can See for Yourself in the Link I Provided.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NeoXP:
Thanks for your reply.

I read the link you provided, those ar benchmark numbers. Although they give an indication, I always prefer some user-experience.

I think I will give it a try.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swat4samp:
Thanks for sharing. Few questions: If ROM isn't converted to f2fs and i flash it, do we face any problems? And should kernel also support f2fs or we need to convert it too?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
If You Flash Without Converting.... The ROM Simply Won't Flash and Give You Error Logs. If You Flash ROM With an Incompatible Kernel, The ROM Will Be Stuck at the Boot Logo (Where It Shows Google). Kernels Can't Be Converted. You Just Need to Find a F2FS Compatible Kernel and Flash It.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swat4samp:
One more question. How to restore ext4? Just flash userdata.img is enough?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
You Can Just Format the Partitions Again to EXT4 in TWRP. Just Go in Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select /system, /data and /cache>Change or Repair Filesystems>EXT4. Note That Either You Convert all 3 to F2FS...Or to EXT4, Otherwise ROMs Will Fail to Flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swat4samp:
That will wipe internal storage too, right? And with /data, i think internal storage isn't touched in TWRP if i'm not wrong.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Yes, The Internal Storage Will Be Completely Wiped as You're Changing the Partition Type. Both TWRP and Philz, or Any Other Recovery Supporting F2FS Will Wipe the Internal Storage.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swat4samp:
Right, i never cared about file partitions before, but after going through the links, i thought of giving it a shot. Thanks mate. One more question, if i only convert /data partition, there is no need for compatible rom, right? Only custom kernel which supports f2fs is enough?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Ah OK. Yeah thanks for all this. Might have to give this a try myself. It'll be interesting to see what if anything with all this changes when L comes out.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Archipago:
Looks like I'll be with you guys when SlimPop drops. My favourite ROM was discontinued for Lollipop but all good slim was always close second ??

[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Hey bud. Do you think that you can do me a favor? If I compile a new build w/ the new f2fs kernel changes, can you test to see that my kernel works w/ f2fs?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
I Sure Will. No Problem. Thanks for This!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Ok. Awesome! I'm about to start a build now. I'll send you a link when it gets done.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NuLLV01D:
Cool! I'll Test the Build Tomorrow as Its 12AM in India. And As a Class 11th Student(My Subject is Biology BTW.. LOL.. Am a Future Doc!) .... I Gotta Get Some Sleep. Hope You Don't Mind.

Hehe... I Really Got You Started on this F2FS Business Haven't I?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Ok. Get some sleep. I will still quote you w/ the test build. You can try it when you get up. Maybe another user will jump in and try it. It's almost done.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Here is the f2fs test build. If anyone else wants to try it, go ahead. Just remember to keep the stock kernel so as to test that it works w/ f2fs. That's what I wanna know.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] notbrodie:
is the rom itself also been changed, or is it just the kernel?

Also, [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]: you may want to add your source to the OP before someone gets all bent out of shape
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
What do you mean is it the ROM or just the kernel? You talking about toolchains? If so, both. I have yet some work to do to the OP. I just haven't had time to do it yet. I figured that users would rather me be working on a ROM than OP. My source is on Github for everyone to see. Just Google my username. I will try to get around to fixing up the OP tomorrow. Sorry. Also, my build w/ Sabermod 4.9 didn't boot. Lol. More work to do!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ahmed534:
the same exact thing is happening to me. flashed some hours ago. just moved to ART , after reboot the phone is getting extreamly HOT!

concerning battery life idk, just out of full charge, will see how it goes today.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] neriamarillo:
Yeah. 4.9 isn't booting here either. If you find something please let me know as will I.

BTW nice work here! [emoji4] [emoji106]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
It's probably just getting hot from building art runtime on boot in this case. Sounds normal to me. Let it run for a day or 2 & see.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gippy2:
Has 4.9 been taken off?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ahmed534:
battery life is good.

idk for heat, am not really a heavy user, but didnt experience that again, only when building ART, it goes hot like hell :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] notbrodie:
that's completely normal. the processor is pegged at the max freq for 5+ minutes. it's going to get hot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pa.pn2:
Running with art. All fine here. Its hot in the beginning but then its normal again.good built for me,battery also seems to be fine so far
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JaylanPHNX:
Whenever ART is building, I blow on my phone, particularly the back near the camera. The cat looks at me funny, but it keeps it cool(er).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
What do you mean? I have taken the 4.9 build down. It wouldn't boot. The kernel is still being built w/ a 4.9 toolchain. It was the ROM build that I am referring to. I took the 4.9 ROM build down. I didn't want anyone accidentally downloading it and coming on the forum saying there phone wouldn't boot lol. You know it would've happened! Lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gippy2:
Ok....nws....wanted to flash it to see for myself lol..No biggie I've just updated your 7.2 ...4.8 build...Oh and a belated Happy Birthday from me sir.....[emoji512][emoji106]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Thanks for the happy birthday! And yeah. It wouldn't boot. Trust me! I tried to make it lol. I will have to look around and find out what commits I need to build w/ 4.9. To tell you the truth though, what I'm using right now is probably the best. I would think that 4.9 might still be a little unstable. Hell, 4.8 still isn't all the way there yet! Lens blur isn't working.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Eh, my personal vote...if we could stick with 4.8 that's what I'd personally prefer. I'm a non-lense blur user though. I've liked the battery life and overall snapiness of the builds that you've produced so far....my opinion....and good afternoon all :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
I wasn't ever planning on changing anyways. Just playing around. Got a little bored last night.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Heya Robbie :) See my late night pm from last night? Maybe we should have a thread vote? :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Splder:
I dont think we should vote

Robbie should pick what he feels is best for the rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
He's not talking about the toolchain. He was speaking on something else. I think he just quoted me so that I would see the message.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Splder:
Oh ok ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Maramu:
Flashed your latest, running smooth as... silk? Maybe it was just a feeling, but the ART runtime build during 1st boot took less than usual. Only mods so far are L preview modem and the August Qualcomm gpu drivers. Thanks again Robbie for a great build. BTW, have you thought of including these updated gpu drivers straight into the hammerhead builds?

I'll see if I can get around to it as well there Robbie. Actually really curious to see myself the impact it may/may not have. Gonna take the wife to the doc here so I'll be gone for a bit, but if I get some time this evening count me in too ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] R3Lax1:
Seems to be working fine for me, thank you!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
You converted the ROM to f2fs and all that or just flashed the build?

Converted and dirty flashed on the earlier build, f2fs ofcourse :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:

As smooth as before!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NeoXP:
[MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION]

Forgive for maybe asking a stupid question, but isn't it possible to build the rom already converted to f2fs with your f2fs kernel included? I realize that users would still have to format their partitions to f2fs, but as I understand the rom would fly even more.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RobbieL811:
Most users don't use f2fs. If a person wants it, they will need to do all that their selves.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NeoXP:
Ok, fair enough
