I'll be really interested and excited to see what you can do with finalized code. This could definitely be a sleeper ROM for sure. Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I think once the official L comes out, I'll probably just grab the code and make a couple permissive boot images because selinux being enforcing really bogs L down but then I will be moving on to my next project.

As I told my mako guys. There will be a ROM kicked out but it won't really be for a daily driver or features, it will be for fine tuning my project with the aosp source
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Status of alternate kernels for this ROM.

I know there are some users here anxious to run custom kernels on this ROM so I want to give an update on that.

I've been working with [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] on a method to replace the ramdisk in the boot.img for a custom kernel with his version that is essential to get the permissive security (which makes root actually work) and improve the performance and smoothness of the ROM. However, some kernel developers assume they own the ramdisk and have made their own modifications that their kernel may depend on so it's not as simple as replacement.

What I've said so far applies to the few kernels that have been adapted to L, but we've also looked at trying to make this ROM compatible with custom KitKat kernels as well. When we originally tried flashing Nexus 5 kitkat custom kernels that broke the cellular network completely. [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] provided AOSP replacements for some of the L proprietary binaries and we got the radio working with Hellscore and ElementalX, but the camera was borked. At this point we are waiting for someone to back out those replacement files one by one to see if it's possible to fix the camera without breaking the cellular network again.

I'm working on the L kernel option described above, but we aren't sure yet if it will be possible to combine the ramdisks and get a reliable ROM/kernel combination. If someone else wants to work with the AOSP replacement files I have the original L versions in a zip file and it's just a matter of plugging them in one at a time and then backing them out and trying the next one if the issues aren't fixed. That's similar to how this ROM was tested originally.

For my purposes, I'm quite happy with the default kernel for this ROM since the Nexus 5 has OTG by default (and USB audio with L :)) and I'm not a big overclocker or undervolter. But anyone is welcome to help with the testing if you really want to run alternate kernels with this ROM, and I'd probably use one just to get DT2W support if the ROM/kernel combination was as stable as the base configuration.

Any takers?

Does anyone know what to change in mixer_paths.XML to make regular headset volume louder during calls as well as speaker phone. I changed the one listed earlier and my music plays louder through speaker, but my phone calls are really quiet.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hipojarty:
How about this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
I've been busy looking over the 1+1 stuff and trying to find a non caf kernel source I can use so o completely forgot to look if the aosp mixer files are any different than the preview version.

This is the only device I heard with low volume so it must have been tweaked in aosp since and when I grabbed the newer audio hal stuff, I didn't even think to look at the mixer paths
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SamEkinci:
Quick notes..

I was using L preview before this with L-Radio, and even after a clean flash I have had some radio issues.. Like having full signal but not connecting to the data network. Had to reboot or do a quick reset in APN settings to get the data back.

.

So my question is KK or L radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
Well I think most testing was done with kk radio since we are using aosp as the base so give it a try and let us know. Whatever way we can improve it, the better but since [MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] is my go to guy when it comes to the n5, he gets final say since he did 99% of the testing and would know much better than I would
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
If you flash code blue without modifying the boot.IMG with my ramdisk then you are using the permissive selinux and other improvements in the ramdisk that really smooth it out plus his other stuff kinda wipes out the rest of my main changes

We using aosp as our base in the ramdisk because of improvements made in aosp since the L preview so it is a lot newer then what you find in the preview. Like watchdog, ueventd, even our sepolicy is wayyy newer plus we are root by default, art specific updates for the heap size. A bunch of improvements really (except for L specific stuff that needed to be ported in)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
You have to toggle WiFi off to allow the mobile data connection to activate and transfer the MMS messages, then back on to get WiFi connected again. There's no need to use airplane mode and that disables Bluetooth as well.

If it gets stuck when only mobile data is on (sounds like a carrier problem) it would be better to just toggle mobile data off/on.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
That's what mine did today. It's just a glitch that will hopefully reset on next full charge. Check out the over-counted stats too. Lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
That kernel isn't supported for this ROM.

The supported kernels are in this post which is also linked at the bottom of the OP.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jsgraphicart:
I don't think you are understanding. I know you need to be off of WiFi for MMS to work. But even when on mobile data, sending a picture for example will sometimes get stuck sending (is this just me?). I have found that if this happens, toggling Airplane mode (which toggles the mobile data) will send the photo. Same with downloading MMS. You can probably just toggle the mobile data itself on and off but I just toggle airplane mode.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] todorcim:
I should have checked but by the time I say your post I had already rebooted and it corrected itself, that's the first pic I posted
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
I already updated my last post on this topic, but I'll repeat that toggling mobile data should be enough for that issue, which is not the one that most people using this ROM have reported. Turning on airplane mode disables mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth and FM radio (for those phones that have one) so it is kind of overkill for restarting mobile data when SMS/MMS get hung.

If you are using that method because the icon for airplane mode is in the quick toggles, Power Toggles can give you the same thing for mobile data with one less swipe.

The built in tethering doesn't work but there is an app that does work on L. I've been trying to track that one done because it does work on the n4. 6.1 helped a couple people with data because it used the APN XML from 4.4.4 along with a couple other things but it was trying to track down if there is some bad binaries when it came down to the network configuration along with the configuration files but it really ties down into just the preview being incomplete on the new connection manager.

We know it isn't kernel related because we tried that route on the nexus 4 and it didn't do anything for the networking issues that are present in L

I had to reread it and than I caught what you were saying. There has been plenty of times where I have uploaded something and forgot to change it.

The changes aren't even committed on github yet and that is normally when I realize I forgot to change it.

They aren't committed just because they were for testing but the different apns in the test did show me something and that is that most people having data issues and it being flaky are using the wrong APN as suspected.

It is nothing on the user's part, it is just that the correct apns are not being set as the default
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Well, I'm glad you got your question answered but still don't understand why you are asking about why the version number wasn't changed in build.prop versus what the actual changes were from B6 and what you should be testing since that is the purpose of that release.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
The camera works fine for me on B6 (6.0) with Linear L 3.1.

If you are switching custom kernels are you also doing a dirty flash of the ROM before you flash the new one? It's always better to do a clean flash but a dirty flash is the minimum to clear out the files and settings from the previous kernel.

Also, did you make sure the "nuplayer" option is off in the developer settings?

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hasdroid:
No no for me is also good but with HDR+ don't work and break (linear L3.1 also) ^^

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
I just check and HDR+ works fine for me too. Are you sure that you have the final release of B6 as I know that was a problem in one of the interim releases? You might want to try downloading a fresh copy, dirty flash (wipe cache+dalvik only), and then re-install the Linear kernel.
