So to summarize, the user app(s) to set sepolicy to permissive could break at any time, even with the official release of Lollipop, while your ramdisk method might break but you are pretty sure there will be a way to fix it. Is that correct?

From a "practical pig" standpoint I realize that users will do what they want as long as it works for them (like dirty flashing major ROM releases) but I think the community as whole needs to better understand the long term consequences of the alternatives.

Thanks for your explanations. :good:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
The user space one is already obsolete before Lollipop even officially comes out (the NSA has been closing every loophole it finds and can) while my method won't brick, it will just need to be updated to the new ramdisk that comes with official and that would take a whole 10 minutes once I have the boot image to split and modify

You should come to the n4 version of this thread. It is fast moving, very relaxed and chill and a lot of great guys.

I explained a lot of the selinux stiff there about 2 months ago with the lockdown of L and the changes going in and what each one effects.

I was gonna do a full write up of it but never got around to it.

I think I spent a full 2 weeks learning selinux and now I watch the commits going into it (I'm a steven Smalley stalker since he is the main NSA guy working on android).

There are changes in the kernel, the sepolicy, the vold and all over what is going into L

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Doktaphex:
From what I have just been reading about SELinux, this is exactly true, and please correct me as I am most probably wrong.

I believe Syko is suggesting that moving forward, when we have official releases, he will write a more comprehensive policy, that will still protect the system from nefarious apps.

As it stands, there is no point trying to write this policy file now, as the SELinux implementation will likely be modified/altered by the time of an official release.

In conclusion, we need to be happy that we have somebody like Syko, who seems to have such a great understanding of how SELinux inAndroid behaves, and we ought to show our gratitude!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sykopompos:
The policies are really a device by device thing to account for different hardware processes so each device will need it's own. The current is more of a catch all for any device so it works before the ueventd even kicks in to say yes or no to any process then a bit tuned on a device to clear up the logcat spam (permissive says it denied but let's it go through.

I'm sure chainsfire will come up with a method too that will be the more accepted method but it never hurts to have another method. (At the least, devs can grab my sepolicy and throw it in their ramdisk to get Roms up and booting and then come back and fine time the sepolicy since my sepolicy is pretty much universal as long as setenforce 0 is set in the init.rc before the ueventd in the ramdisk)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] dEris:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Franco and Code Blue are not compatible or supported with this ROM because they require their own ramdisk.

The latest versions of Hellscore, ElementalX and Racer all work well since they use the "anykernel" installation method that retains the ramdisk from the default stock kernel.

It is an error getting thrown because you have something already installed with the same name in the permissions.

Yep, I saw that. I've tested another solution for fast charge and its the same with that. MTP works and it tells USB. So maybe its borked in 5.0. Try to charge it with fast charge enabled and you'll see if it charges faster with it or not. Then you'll know if it works or not.

Hybrid Kernel

I just downloaded and checked the zip file and it uses a boot.img rather than anykernel for installation which means it will replace the ramdisk for this ROM and break it.

The updater script (attached) is deleting a lot of stuff and setting symlinks that have nothing to do with the kernel. My guess is that's just cleanup that the developer thought is necessary but it's very unusual for a kernel zip file.

I can't really recommend it and if you decide to try it proceed cautiously.

I am using the latest developer preview, which I installed from fastboot. So, my first question is that is b15 stable enough to use? If not, which one should i use?

Also, if I wanted to install, does it include the permissive boot img?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
B15 is solid and has been identified by [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] as a milestone build. He said earlier today that everyone should plan to get on that release or one of the subsequent builds as more fixes are incorporated.

All of the enhanced "L" builds that [MENTION=757945]syk[/MENTION]pompos and team have created include the permissive boot.img.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Apocalypse~:
Thanks for the info! The last few pages were not very informational. One more thing, though. Is Titanium Backup working properly with b15? Because I have a lot of apps installed. :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Yes, and the recommended version (6.2.0-test6) has been included in the ROM zip file. Be careful manipulating any system apps with it though as there are still bugs with that due to the new sub-directory requirement in Lollipop.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
I believe you need test 6 of titanium. But I may be wrong. There are several links in this and other preview threads of a working titanium backup. I believe when I installed, it was already in ROM, but I disabled it.

Kernel Compatibility

Alright, since you and others aren't convinced that kernels like Franco and Code Blue are incompatible with this ROM you are going to get the gory details, but I'm only going to do this one time and then I'm not going to discuss or answer questions about unsupported kernels in this thread.

The screenshot below is a comparison of the default ramdisk for the B15 version of this ROM (on the left) and the Franco r166 ramdisk (on the right). The files and directories that are greyed on the right side match exactly, the ones in red are missing in the default ramdisk, and the ones in green match file names but have different contents.

There is no way to automatically merge the two ramdisks since the files in green need to reviewed and merged with the default version by the developer of the custom kernel. Unless the developers of the unsupported kernels are willing to do that the enhanced preview ROM's will remain unsupported for their kernel(s).

If a kernel has no ramdisk customization requirements, or merges them into the default ramdisk using script(s) like Hellscore does, they should be compatible with this ROM as long as they use the "anykernel" installation method that retains the original ramdisk. The unsupported kernels install a complete boot.img replacing what was in the original ramdisk with their version.

At this time the Nexus 5 kernels that have been modified for Lollipop and use the anykernel installation method are Hellscore, ElementalX and Racer.

That should provide all the information needed to understand why some Nexus 5 "L" kernels aren't compatible with this ROM. I will be focusing on supporting the kernels and developers that have chosen to be compatible with the enhanced "L" ROM's moving forward and any further discussions about having other kernels supported need be initiated with the developers of those kernels.

Hope that helps. ;)

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wagedroid:
Cool I actually prefer it that way. I used to flash custom kernels because I knew they were doing good for my phone. But for a while I noticed developers jam packing kernels with so many features and whatever that they drained batteries and caused problems. Now I feel dumb for buying the donate key for trickster mod
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hellsgod:
Trickster is a good app and if you'd like to play around with the kernel you have an app for that :) Yes, in my opinion thats the way it should be, thats why I'm making it this way. Maybe you could squeeze some more battery out of it when you play around with the settings. For example the hotplug thresholds, or underclocking a bit. Try the kernel as I ship it and if you think its still not good enough you can mention me, or quote a post from me so I see it. Or post in my kernel thread ;)
