Changelogs is the same as for Shamu/Nexus6 atleast mostly.

What do you men by the QS part?
[Android Builders Collective] LARMYV:
I have a question for the collective. Could someone post a step by step tutorial on how to add V4A to a build? I would like to try to replace AudioFX with Viper for my builds.

Thanks
[Android Builders Collective] rayray82:
Hi all!!

Been having trouble with the layers!! The map it supposed to install wont install!?

Instead it places a file with the same name as the .zip!! Extracting is not possible!!

Added screenshot...........somebody got some advise???

Thnx!!
[Android Builders Collective] LARMYV:
I think the app is supposed to install a regular folder. See if it's there (right above titanianumbackup)
[Android Builders Collective] rayray82:
I thought so.........but cant find the folder!!

Also thought the app extract the .zip

but i have a file named the same as the .zip

Manually extract isnt an option and cant remove the file!!

Used ES folder, ROOT browser, x-plore to delete

Is a New build from ezio or let me danz based on latest slim weekly available?
[Android Builders Collective] jrn2k:
Not yet, they are slow aren't they.[emoji12] [emoji12]

PS: Loving the builds arround here guys!
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
I just tried the latest (un)Official build, far too much missing, currently on Eizo's latest, hoping to see a build from [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION]!

About the layers questions above, do you have the app installed? See the threads by sykopompos for instructions. (You have to get the Layers app from G+ since it's still a beta.)
[Android Builders Collective] rayray82:
About the layers questions above, do you have the app installed? See the threads by sykopompos for instructions.[/QUOTE]

Hi I have the app installed, only doesnt work (see first screenshot)

The file with the "questionmark" I cant delete????

The .zip file wont extract because there a file (with questionmark)

with the same name.....
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
Are you extracting the .zip then moving the .apk into one of the folders in the sykopath-overlays folder?

Edit: just saw your original post... I don't see the folder there, only the zip. (seems like there's a problem with Tapatalk, can't upload the screenshot...)
[Android Builders Collective] pkelly517:
D'oh!

I was trying to cherry pick patch set 11, while 12 was the most recent.

That's what I get for putting a cherry pick in a script. At least now I know that when I see this issue, I'll check the patch set.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go sit in the corner and build.

As a side note, is there a way to remotely detect what the latest patchset/cherrypick is? That'd be awesome.
[Android Builders Collective] rayray82:
I think the problem is that I have 2 files named the same!!

Just cant delete the first one or rename it!!

The original .zip file wont extract because the one with the questionmark
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
So, you have a problem with not being able to delete files? Do you have root? SuperSU installed? I had the same problem awhile back, but don't remember what the fix was...
[Android Builders Collective] efan3719:
Finally have my new computer fully up and running. Have everything ready for building. Ran a few stock builds through just to make sure everything was working. As it stands now, a build takes about 20 minutes. that's a little better than half what it took on my old rig. very excited to get back to building. i have a lot of catching up to do.
[Android Builders Collective] rayray82:
Added screenshots of my root and version.
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
I just remembered that I went into TWRP and included System in the mount to get r/w access. You don't have Layers showing up in the SuperSU apps, so I'd try to uninstall it and reinstall after deleting the problems.
[Android Builders Collective] SFG:
Google "v4a lollipop" and follow any of the many tutorials.
[Android Builders Collective] dankoman:
Edit: just found this https://review.openstack.org/Documentation/cmd-query.html

And this works, just tried it:

ssh -p 29418 dankoman@gerrit.slimroms.net gerrit query --current-patch-set {24674}

The query results contain "current patch set"

Of course, replace dankoman with your gerrit user name and 24674 with the desired commit number.

[Android Builders Collective] LARMYV:
Thanks, although I do appreciate it for my personal phone, I was unable to find directions on how to include it while building a rom. I am currently building slimroms for D2ATT, and I would like to replace audiofx with V4A but I dont have a clue on how to accomplish this. I noticed that several roms here now include it, and I would like to do the same for the roms I am building.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/unofficial-slim-rom-alpha-build-t2978545
[Android Builders Collective] :
First you will need to get yourself accustomed to cherry-picking and adding/removing stuff from builds. If you haven't been doing this yet, go through some of the excellent guides linked to in post 17 of this thread. After that, [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION] was the first one in the builders collective thread to include V4A in his Lollipop builds and to add an option in Settings -> Interface. I cherry-picked the settings commit and used his other commits as a base to add it myself. His commit to add V4A to settings can be found here and the commit where he adds the application to the build is here. You will also need to remove AudioFX from the build - there is a very straightforward guide how to do this in post 17 that I linked to above. If you run into problems and/or need help, I'm happy to help and I'm sure [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION] or anyone else including V4A in their builds will too. Have fun! :)
[Android Builders Collective] letmedanz:

Notes about Viper4Android:

I haven't changed SELinux to permissive by default because I use 3rd party kernels. To make Viper4Android to work in my builds either:

a) Install a kernel that has SELinux permissive

or

b) Install SELinux Mode Changer and use the app to change SELinux to permissive.

Then install Viper4Android drivers from within the app and reboot - nothing else required.

[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
Or goes to my repo and cherry-pick this small commit ;)

https://github.com/reS28raM/vendor_slim/commit/3e7bcc4e0e5842239922059e4a665e1cecace6b3

This commit add Viper to the build, remove AudioFX and add the backup script for Viper in /system/addon.d with the right permissions (Viper is bugged, when it creates the script it doesn't add the execute bits).

I posted how to remove Audio below it is a matter of commenting-out three lines but maybe it is not clear 'cos I cited the wrong post... it is above this one

Edit:... and Tapatalk merged them automagically, love this app ?

Warn the users that the backup system will restore AUDIOFX when flashing, the app must be removed from /system/priv-app before the flash.
[Android Builders Collective] pSyCh¤_O_O:
I sold my hammerhead yesterday....i let it go with you're latest build...missing it already :sob:....but Im in love with bacon now... so it had to go ...Its been a pleasure brother..Thanks a lot for youre work ;)

SlimSaber Bacon + AK Kenel
[Android Builders Collective] ifwillems:
Works great on the N5 [MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION]. One issue though: I receive in the notification bar an icon that says that there is an update available. When I select it, I get into Slimrom Center (see picture).
[Android Builders Collective] :
I added those few lines to remove AudioFX in common.mk ages ago but never touched that backup script. Instead I added this line in my local_manifest:

<remove-project path="packages/apps/AudioFX" name="SlimRoms/packages_apps_AudioFX" />

And haven't had any issues with AudioFX reappearing
[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
It is been a pleasure for me too, maybe we'll meet on the bacon thread sometimes in the future, who knows... ;) Thanks for appreciating my builds bro
[Android Builders Collective] tysonwald:
Downloaded and running. Themes are gone from the settings menu was the first thing I noticed. Love the material volume/in and out actions! Good work! :)
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Damn...that was the one thing i forgot to add back.
[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
If I remember correctly the first time you run Viper it creates the backup in addon.d but with the wrong permissions (-rw-rw-rw or something like that) so on the next flash it is not executed, at least it worked so on my N5. You are not affected but users who do not have Viper already installed and the backup script adjusted when they flash the Rom are.

Didn't thought to remove that line from manifest, good idea. :D
[Android Builders Collective] :
Hehe the backup script can't restore something that isn't there at all :D Thanks for the info btw, didn't know about the backup issue until today :)
[Android Builders Collective] LARMYV:
Thanks, I appreciate it. Will work on it in the weekend and post my results. Another quick question. I tried to cherry pick the battery commits (caf). I did that and successfully build a rom. But when it booted up (even with a clean flash) systemui keeps crashing. Any suggestions on why it keeps crashing or how I can get around this?
[Android Builders Collective] :
Use the AOSP battery commits from [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION]. They will work without a hitch :)
[Android Builders Collective] Skripka:
Saweet, runs great as usual ;)

One thing I noticed, and maybe I'm undercaffienated this morning or just going crazy. With SuperSU 2.45, I swear there used to be a theming option (make it dark for example) for the app in its settings page...with the builds starting with SuperSU integration into settings I'm not seeing it anymore?
[Android Builders Collective] LARMYV:
will do, does those work with caf too?
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
Heya [MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION] Was gonna say, you're build from yesterday is running great. No problems whatsoever and running really smooth. And REALLY liking the toggle for Ambient Display provided by our [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]. So far I've just left it to switch on with pick up, etc and it's doing good. I have some driving to do today so we'll see how it does in the car. Great build overall there inffy...now, to flash today's or check the new forthcoming [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION] build [emoji32] Well, you guys provide enough for everybody maybe I'll test both [emoji16]
[Android Builders Collective] :
Haven't done any caf builds with those so not sure.
[Android Builders Collective] letmedanz:
That's how Chromium has designed the app when it is integrated into Settings, just so that it is inline to the white of Android UI
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
They should, but you may run into merge conflicts, be certain to only leave the changes as you see them in side-by-side in gerrit.

CAF base is slighlty different from AOSP base.

Sent from my Nexus 6 running Yank555.lu SlimLP 5.0.2 LRX22G on Yank555.lu v0.5 kernel.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
I think there was -caf commits done separately but can't search them now
[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
Mmmh, I tried deleting the script then running Viper but it was not re-created. I checked the zipfile (LolliViPER.zip) just to be sure and the script is not inside it either. Maybe it just get created when we download the driver? This thing need another look at it ?
[Android Builders Collective] srkmagnus:
I'm still trying to find the source of this error when building for Hammerhead and have had no luck. Here is the beginning of the error(s) to the end where is says failed to make: http://pastebin.com/X4HFvCH2

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
OK [MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION], gonna flash your latest unless you were planning on doing another with fixed rro for settings? I'm assuming that's what the other user was talking about...and then f5'ing for the [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION] build(s) :)
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
I might do another .1 build to fix sole stuff if I can get this building (having some problems with one commit)

[MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION]

Does that LCD changer not affect the play store...

Meaning we won't need multi-dpi google stuff?
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Shouldn't affect. I have had that on my CM build for ages and no problems
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
No worries. About to flash and test anyways :)
[Android Builders Collective] Skripka:
Ooo yay for Double Build Friday!
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Time for a test run ;)
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
Well, I'll be patient then...and keep reading my books. There's quite a bit I need to edumacate myself on to get my base knowledge up to where I want it. Reading a Linux basics book right now, then a book on Linux shell/command line, then Android Studio, then java. Lots to read but love reading and learning about new things. Found a good How Things Work guide for PS Touch too with a 650 MB add on brush pack for modifying layers and .png's [emoji16]

Yeah well this will take some time, I still am not happy how few things work, and git starts to get messy :D

Is navbar custimization in your build? What i have on SlimKat in my navbar is currently from left to right: "screen off and lock", home, recent and back. Just wondering if i will loose those possibilities when switching to SlimLP / your build. Thanks for a short reply! :)

Nope, no nav bar stuff.

Heya [MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION] just setting up your new build and all is running really smooth and great just like your last releases so far. Um, just going through the settings and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I went to change the battery style in the Status Bar settings and no matter which selection I make, hidden or otherwise the only option seems to be the horizontal battery. Anybody else confirm?
[Android Builders Collective] Skripka:
Hmmm...seems to take a reboot for battery changes to appear on 1.6.1

help

hi guys,

can i ask for some patience and some help?

i am a complete noob to all this so after i seen this thread decided to repo sync source of slim and try adding some things myself. such as battery % and center clock to learn how to build a rom.

i have synced the slimrom source. now, my question is. can i start adding features? or do i need to add what i have here now to my (newly created) github account?

thanks,

and please bare in mind i am new to this but want to learn :)
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
You might want to look at post 17, the OP has links to lots of great tutorials.
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
OK :) Yep just saw the same. Working now but takes a reboot for me too. Good catch. Everything else seems to be really good. Hey [MENTION=251020]inffy[/MENTION] just a question. I see musicfx is in system apps. Will that affect V4A functionality. Might be remembering it wrong, but does musicfx need to be uninstalled for V4A to work correctly?
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
Hey guys

Anyone wanna talk hardware for a minute? So I've been building on my laptop. Core i5, 16gb ram, spinning hard drive. It's getting tired and needs to be relieved of heavy duties like building. So I'm thinking of building a desktop. Basically for building but with the ability to add a decent graphics card later. With that in mind what are you guys that are getting sub 1 hour build times running? I'm talking sub 1 hour from a make clean here.

I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible but won't skip out on the CPU, MOBO, or ram. It will have an SSD for sure with a possible spinning drive as well. That's if I build it. The other option is to swap an SSD into my laptop and see how fast it builds with the SSD. So who's doing that with a similar setup and what are your build times?

Thanks guys
[Android Builders Collective] Riddlah:
This is what I'm building off: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883156068

- Intel i3 Core 3.2GHz

- 8GB of RAM with 8GB Swap

The only change I made was a swap from a standard HDD to a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD. Initial builds with no ccache take me approximately 3 hours. Builds after that with a 'make clean' take me between 42 and 62 minutes (generally depends what else I'm doing on my build box).

-- EDIT --

You will also want to use [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION]'s commit for the prebuilt chromium. It should reduce the time to build as it doesn't need to rebuild each time if there hasn't been any changes.
[Android Builders Collective] Skripka:
Heh, if I had time and the willpower I'd show you kids how it is done on the i7 box with 32GB of RAM I'm typing on. Sadly that machine needs to work and can't be running VMs or straight Linux.

/Skripka misses Arch
[Android Builders Collective] tysonwald:
same battery icon issue here. takes a change to the style and a reboot to fix.
[Android Builders Collective] pkelly517:
Well, I tried picking the blacklist commit. Total failure. It was a reach, sure. You never know.

Then I tried syncing the Dialer-caf branch in .repo/manifests/default.xml. Needs Contact stuff. Tried the Contact-caf. Needs something else. Tried the ContactsCommon-caf. Still no joy.

Your definition of 'nothing' is way different from mine :)

Am I on the right path, but not there? In over my head? On a wild goose chase?

Latest failure with all the attempted actions

http://pastebin.com/AbdLC1a0

Any advice?
[Android Builders Collective] Garrykd:
Well, as we both learned on hangouts, not all projects in different branches are created equal and although some things can be picked from other branches, dialer commits aren't one of them. :rolleyes:

So (working) blacklist commit conflicts are going have to be resolved before they make it into the non caf branch.:(
[Android Builders Collective] efan3719:
i think one of the biggest things you can do to improve your build time is likely the SSD. I only have 8 GB of ram and an AMD FX-8320 but I am using SSDs now and my build times have improved dramatically. it kinda depends on your budget and your brand preferences. AMD is cheaper, but uses more power and runs hot. Intel will run usually 50 bucks more but use like a third the power and stay cool. Kingston makes some good cheap SSDs. Intel and Samsung have some really nice ones for a bit more. Probably just stay away from Corsair.
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
Yep. I was just looking at them on Amazon. The evo 850 512GB is 240 bucks. I figure I'll get that for my laptop to start with then see what happens. If I still decide to build a new machine at least that expense is out of the way. I think that might do it though. Then I can use the rest of the cash for a new PS4.

Speaking of ccache I just got it set up. It actually cut my build times quite a bit so far. It took three builds for it to finally kick in but I just finished a build in 90 minutes. WAYYYYYYYYY faster than without it. I am way to stubborn sometimes. I should have set it up months ago.:cool:
[Android Builders Collective] efan3719:
oh yes. ccache destroys build times. and an SSD should kick it in the pants quite a bit as well. :good:
