Any recommendations for kernel? I've enjoyed Franco as well as elemental. I'm curious about what you personally run. I've been trying out some custom interactive governor profiles with good results.

For future references, would you like bug reports of any kind? And should I be posting here? If not, I apologize
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Personally, I run the one that comes with the ROM ;)

I just made a few changes in the kernel, and a few adjustments in its settings, as listed in the changelog.

I honestly, as a former kernel only guy, didn't so far feel the need to do much on the kernel side, angler's stock kernel isn't that bad.

If you use a different kernel, ideally use an anykernel one, to avoid breaking SELinux stuff, as that's part of the ROM but is located in the ramfs (boot.img).

Bug reports are always welcome, can be posted here or sent via mail or on G+.

OK sounds good.

Yea I found stock kernel fine. Though, being that I like to tweak, I had to squeeze some more battery out of the kernel.

The only real problem I've ever had with angler is mms. Out of the box, it had the wrong apn settings. Then, even after fixing them, I still have problems receiving group texts. For now, AwSMS works well enough.

Excited to try your build. Thanks for sharing your work. I missed slim after leaving bacon, and then cataclysm was killed. I'm in the market for a good ROM, and I feel you do good work.

[Android Builders Collective] morfances:
Thx ,layer support?
[Android Builders Collective] VictorLapin:
Sure
[Android Builders Collective] Ofthecats:
What are the issues?
[Android Builders Collective] VictorLapin:
Date/time doesn't stick after reboot if not set to network-provided.

"Disable ongoing on lockscreen" setting in app notifications doesn't stick for me either.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Date/time is HH only (works fine on Angler), so HH needs some more love on device tree side.

The "disable ongoing on lockscreen" sticks for some apps, won't for others (like for example 3c tool won't stick, PowerAmp & Netflix do stick). No time yet to look into this, though...

There's one more, and I'd say that's the real nasty one I need to crush, using a custom icon for a global menu action will cause a hotreboot (!) whenever the global menu is to be shown (global menu = power menu).

I'll try to add a "known issues" list next to the changelog when I get to it.

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] VictorLapin:
As I really miss heads up notifications from Slim, maybe we'll get that part fixed eventually.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:

YAOSP is not Slim6, it's my personal AOSP based ROM with quite a set of Slim features. I started to work on it when Slim6 was still based on a version older than angler, which made Slim6 not run too well on angler, and I needed a custom for my new daily driver. I just decided to share it, in case there'd be interest for others to either use it as it or build based on it.

Slim6 builds should start as soon as we have a 6.0.1 base, can't say when exactly that'll be. I'll be taking care of those.

So far, no, as I wasn't aware of this at all, I don't have the issue, tethering is allowed here (no carrier forbids it here)...

Adding the build prop line is no fuzz, if that does the trick.

Else if someone could link me to a commit, I'd not mind adding it ad long as it doesn't hurt anything else.

I understand if you don't want to add it. It was more a question if you did already than a request.

However, it would be appreciated. I don't know if both tweaks are needed.

Some users say the build.prop is all we need. Some developers may know better than me. I would happily test it but I'd have to go through around 7gb of data before they cut off my hotspot ? may take a while
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Ouch, yeah that may take a bit ;)

I vaguely remember there being a way to look at how the data is being moved, but no details about the method.

If you feel inclined, I'd say ask fellow developers about it.

Otherwise, seems like I'm the only one interested, so I wouldnt feel right requesting it.

[Android Builders Collective] Ofthecats:
What's your reasoning behind increasing swap to 1gb? I always turn swappiness to 0

Are these two different things?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
swap = virtual memory

swappines = willingness to actually use swap (0 don't use it / 100 use it as much as possible)

zswap is a very useful thing, even Google finally acknowledged it by using it by default on flounder and angler (maybe other device as well).

What zswap does is that data kept in RAM by system or apps, but which is not used much (not read or modified), will be placed into zswap, which also lies in RAM, but data will be compressed, hence freeing up RAM (compressing/decompressing is very fast and not putting measurable load on CPUs either). So it's like getting more RAM than you actually have.

I've had it in my kernels for years (first zram, then zswap later on), and I've been running my 3Gb devices with 1Gb zswap very well, hence I keep the ratio by adding 1/3 of ramsize as zswap.

Setting swappiness to 0 more or less disables its use, so you won't profit.

JP.

PS: But if you're on hammerhead it's useless, cause swap is not activated by default in my ROM (yet), only the case on angler and flounder so far.

[Android Builders Collective] Mrcactuseater:
If a custom kernel has it and it's on, does the ROM also need to implement it for the system to use it too?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Nope, it's purely a kernel thing. You only need to be certain, that whatever activation 'method' is used, it's still active (fstab / init.rc / script...), but since the kernel is flashed on top of the ROM, that shouldn't be an issue.

I've read swap isn't necessary on devices especially with 3gb ram. It sounds like you recommend it. Isn't it better to use ram?

I ask because I often tweak min free and vm.

I allocate a lot less min free.

For vm:

Dirty ratio 80

Dirty background 55

Swap 0

Vfs pressure 20

I assume you recommend stock. Swap stock being 60?

Also, zswap = zram?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
There is swap, as on PCs, where virtual memory lies a HDD, that's not a good idea.

As for 3Gb RAM, why not use more, even Google does on full stock as well ;)

Proof it's worth using it, zswap fills up. even on a 3Gb device :

As for tweaking settings, stick to stock, unless you REALLY understand what you are doing, you can easily do more harm than good ;)

Note, I usually set swappiness to 80, though on angler I haven't cared touching stock so far (60).

zram vs. zswap : it's a different way to achieve the same goal, zswap being the 'more advanced' one.

[Android Builders Collective] Ofthecats:
Well yes by allocating less min free I use more ram lol
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Yes but you potentially generate ram shortage slowing down your system ;)

Each time an app / task needs to allocate RAM you will have LMK start killing, delaying ram allocation. And worse, if you set it even lower, LMK will be too slow and Linux kernel OOM (Out Of Memory manager) will kick in (you don't want that) which kills off tasks on a lower level, Android system unaware, it might kill stuff that never should for Android to work properly, endangering system stability.

zswap allows to achive just the same goal (use 'more' RAM, or better put, use RAM more efficiently) without any such drawback.

JP.

PS: Have you seen how much RAM is free on my device ?

Yea didn't the screen shot show low ram?
[Android Builders Collective] :
Have a closer look. He's using only 2% of his available RAM.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Not low, it shows setting any lower is pointless, android does a good job with stock settings ;)

Also there's several 'free memory' contexts ... like OS (Linux) and Android (VM).

While I have 75Mb free at kernel level, Android VM shows 609Mb free.

What you see is Linux, which is the only one making sense looking at with swap in mind.

It's a pretty broad topic, hence my earlier statement, if you don't fully understand what you are changing, you're probably better off not changing it ;)

So I've been a tad busy this WE, partly for real life stuff like hanging out with friends, but I also found the time to properly bring up shamu on YAOSP ;)

Sources are uptodate on github, and flashable zip uploaded as well !

On shamu the kernel will be configured on boot to the same settings as on SlimLP.

More details & download links here : https://github.com/YAOSP/manifest#changelog

Supported devices so far : angler, flounder and shamu.

Victor also pushed a hammerhead build (here), so you can grab that one, too, if you want ;)

Hammerhead only needs two more things to be "fully ready", I need to take care of kernel configuration (like on shamu) and I need to fix the time not sticking through a reboot (= wrong time/date in recovery and on boot until connected to a network).

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] adm1jtg:
ok moved over here and can confirm on shamu build your correct wifi calling and supporting aspects like texting over wifi are not working. I am sure its just a few commits as other aosp roms like pure nexus have it working perfectly. I know you cannot test as you dont have wifi calling and I would be more then willing to test for you as i do have it as part of my carriers plan (tmobile USA).

Also can you add in a wake gesture (sweep up) to wake phone in your kernel?
[Android Builders Collective] corrsea:
Moved over as well :). Yes it's nice to be back on the same device. Thanks for the heads up on the nav bar settings. I knew they were there somewhere but couldn't find them even though they were right under my nose.

Still settng things up so the only issue I have noticed so far is that gesture typing is not working on the asop keyboard. Not a biggie as it works fine on the Google keyboard.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
I'll ask Nate if he can point me in the right direction for WiFi calling ;)

Not to keen on it, native dt2w is there which works just fine, and which is best choice battery-wise, even if on Angler the wake gestures are not too battery hungry (battery hit was huge on hammerhead for example).

GravityBox MM does not working properly, also so many other things do not too.

And the biggest problem that Slim recents is not available yet.

I'm looking forward with hope.
[Android Builders Collective] adm1jtg:
Can you give more details... What functions in GB specifically are not working. What are they doing or not doing properly? Are there any error messages involved? You cannot expect the dev to fix something unless you are very specific in what is wrong and if possible give an exact step by step so he can replicate the problem. Also logs taken during the time the issue is occurring can also be very helpful.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Gravity Box

Gravity box

will NEVER work properly

on custom ROMs, that's by design as it is made for

stock factory ROMs

, and if you choose to use it with custom AOSP ROMs (or CM etc.) you'll have to live with whatever issues you will run into. This is also clearly stated in GB's OP !

That will be the same with any source-based ROM with added features, no way around that, ROMs can't fix it, and GB's dev can't fix it either (would be way way too much work to keep up with all different ROMs out there, sheer impossible).

So conclusion --> If you want to use Gravity Box, you'll have to either live with the issues, or flash a stock factory images based ROM (not source based AOSP/CAF...).

"so many other things" :

You'd really have to list them all, as I haven't seem to come accross them just yet ;)

What I know not to be working is on the "Known Issues" list (plus the Gesture on AOSP Keyboard I just confirmed a few minutes ago).

What features the ROM has is listed in the "Changelog".

Globally, you'll find all that info in the ROM's readme in github : https://github.com/YAOSP/manifest#welcome-to-yaosp

Slim Recents

As I said in the other thread, YAOSP is not Slim, it's my personal take on AOSP with stuff I miss in AOSP and love in Slim and other ROMs. Slim Recents is not on my roadmap for YAOSP, so I don't plan to add it (but it will of course be in Slim6 once we get started).

Have a look in Settings -> Sound & notifications -> Other sounds -> Vibrate on touch
