Hey, ezio84, your last "special" SlimLP-ROM is back from July, 5th ... is this correct? You know, I am a flashaholic ;) ... I am waiting eagerly for something to flash on my hammerhead :) !

kind regards, mistersixt
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Yes, that's the one I'm using too on my device. It's fast and smooth like hell, the latest one I removed from afh some days ago had a good changelog but was very laggy, I don't like that. So let's stick on the good one till we figure out what is wrong with the source (due to work and sea I haven't had a lot of time to look at it) ;)

Today later, if someone is interested, I'll push just the updated DeskClock apk, so you can have the alarm snooze fixes and the incremental alarm feature on the 05 July build.
[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
Didnt just Robbie fix the lag on his latest build (2 days back)?
[Android Builders Collective] Dekalog der Elemente:
Robbies fix worked for most of the people afaik. But some still had lags
[Android Builders Collective] TJKV:
It's Yank's commit, robbie just included it in the build for hh.

And yes the lockscreen unlock lag shows up after 10+ hours of uptime. Hence he is still Yanking at the code [emoji14]

If you keep an eye out, you can find pretty good deals on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi). It's officially supported by Slim. It has a gorgeous screen on it.

[Android Builders Collective] meduza:
...well, I got a galaxy tab s 10.5 around 6 month ago for 350€ and am very, very happy with it :) And diegocr`s SLIM on it is smooth and fast like a tegraowners ROM ;)

[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Ye indeed, the lag shows itself after some hours, it's a trolling son of b### :D

Also Yank is having it on shamu and he's trying to find the culprit. And, don't tell him, I'm happy he has the lag too, so we have a great guy working on it [emoji14] :D
[Android Builders Collective] TJKV:
Hah, you like Yanking his chain, don't you :p
[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
Its not good, I am now 4th day without my regular doze of flashing and I am starting to feel the symptoms. :eek: Its not good, not good at all. :laugh:

[MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] which was the last build where Bluetooth streaming to car audio didn't cause reboots. The latest build has this issue as I'm sure you're aware.

The new Rob's BT stuff is in the laggy build :(
[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
oh hell, give us the laggy build already. :p (My name is Joe and I am a flashaholic)

Not worthy, trust me [emoji14]

It works bad, sometimes the lockscreen freeze take more than 2 seconds... And the whole system seems less smooth compared to 5 July build.
[Android Builders Collective] Garrykd:
I don't think my build from the 18th has lag :)

Maybe I'll build again Building now to see if I can find any :D

We can do that if [MENTION=2638401]Minux31[/MENTION] likes :D

New Test Builds - Shamu & Hammerhead

Repo sync'ed tonight, nothing major changed.

-----------

For shamu only :

Vendor binaries (aka. blobs) are updated and CMHW support added to device tree

And since the blobs are changed, consider testing kind of a bit everything that comes to mind and please report back on whatever isn't working as expected.

-----------

Still considering these test-builds !

Can confirm 5 July build is running awesome but Bluetooth issue makes me sad.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Magic [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] :D has noticed an interesting thing, the laggy shamu build doesn't lag with older gapps (4 July for example). Maybe it's something related to the play service (indeed Google is updating it a lot of times these days).

I'll try in the evening, let's see what happens on my device too.
[Android Builders Collective] Minux31:
I'm already in the OP, so no need to do that ;)

Thanks !
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Well I actually still run a way older set of gapps from early april (20150401 mini). Crap is, you can't downgrade from current gapps to this older one (you'll get a ****storm of FC if you flash the old over current gapps, so clean flash is needed).

Play Store updates to latest by itself, but the difference is I still have Play Services 7.5.74.

My 'bad' HH build was perfectly snappy after 50+h uptime, shamu running fine (with just one single lag on wake after long sleep) after 30+h uptime.

Now testing with a fully uptodate sync'ed Slim source (= the build I posted a few hours ago after syncing).

[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
Flashed the test build with latest official gapps (from 23rd of July), will report in few hours about the state of the lags.
[Android Builders Collective] Phazmos:
Gapps - seems to be 2 general schools of thought on gapps.

The "soon as I see a new version on apkmirror I update", and the "if play store has an update for my specific device, I'll update" schools.

The latter should be the way to go. I'm sure Google updates more than a few apps for more than a few reasons, but that doesn't exactly mean it's good to use them on every os.

When something is ok to use, it would appear as an update from play store. This would be the best way to go to avoid odd issues. After all, that's what the update system is supposed to do - no?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Well, there's indeed the opposition of the "never change a wining team" (don't change for the sake of change) and the flashohilc syndrome :p

I am honest, I'm kind of both, but gapps fall into the first for me, that's why I've been running the old gapps for that long, it works, fine.

ROM on the other hand, I tend to grab and compile whatever I can get my fingers on :angel:

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] Phazmos:
Oh I'm the same way. I'll flash most anything just to check it out (there's always a bu).

And I'm using a base gapps from April I think it is. I guess some don't realize it'll update automatically - if and when it's needed.

New Shamu Test Build

I kind of sligtly derped here, I forgot to include the ramfs changes to my kernel which come with my ROM, as such there were a few things missing to go with the new vendor binaries. Guess doing stuff like this in the middle of the night is not always the best idea :D

Please redownload and dirtyflash, the ROM is unchanged, just the boot.img is new.

If you run a kernel that brings its own ramfs (this might not be ideal, though, cause it may also lack these changes), no need to redownload, if in doubt, better download.

Download Link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780226

[Android Builders Collective] likonvampire:
Hey I guess you forgot to change the OC on the kernel for the Nexus 5 to default . Got bootloops again , flashed had to flash elementalx after.
[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
[MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] - in the latest test rom for HH, were there the kernel changes that were suppose to end the bootloops? Because I had bootloop after flashing the test build.

Regarding the lags, after 5 hours I had 2 (out of cca 15).
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Nope, did change it to stock ?!

-echo 2496000 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq_hardlimit/scaling_max_freq_screen_on
-echo `date +"%F %R:%S : CPU max. screen on frequency hardlimit set to 2.50GHz."` >>$log_file
+echo 2265600 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq_hardlimit/scaling_max_freq_screen_on
+echo `date +"%F %R:%S : CPU max. screen on frequency hardlimit set to 2.26GHz."` >>$log_file

Now that's pretty strange, if your CPU won't cope with stock max. ?

You're not running multiROM ? My kernel won't work with it, I don't have the kexec commit in. Kind of not too fond of that...

JP.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Same question as above, multiROM ?

Or maybe f2fs somewhere ??

If none of you uses one of the above, or maybe Xposed, I have no clue what would cause it for you...

I have that kernel base since LP was release on N5, and I never had an issue nor had one reported (except here included with SlimLP).

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] Mikulec:
No multirom, no f2fs, no xposed. Could it be some other kernel setting (other than maxCPU)?
[Android Builders Collective] likonvampire:
No multirom ,f2fs and no xposed
[Android Builders Collective] ifwillems:
[MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION], on your latest HH, has the Bluetooth been fixed ?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Everything is back in, as such, potentially issues on HH, but I need to let them in for shamu to work correctly. Give it a shot, using local media to not mix this issue up with the streaming audio one.

But if it causes reboots, we need to get behind the real reason and not cure symptoms which break other devices, as hard as this may get :(

JP.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

At this point, nope, I mean you've seen the changelog ...

Last thing I can do is update ramfs in my kernel's boot image, but then again, why would it run on mine and others while not your's :confused:

JP.

EDIT :

You might try to lower thermal throttling temps, but this requires you to flash my kernel on top to test. Again, if that helps, I can change the default settings in my ROM.
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
The lockscreen lag issue seems really related to gapps, after some test the last "bad" build works well without lags with gapps from April.

Doing some other tests with updated google services.
[Android Builders Collective] peikojose:
Clean flashed HH build , bootloop in bootanimation with a vibration.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
I quit on that ... no idea why it would do that on some device and not others :confused:

Again, unless you have stuff like multiROM or Xposed installed.

I could reduce thermal throttling thresholds, that's really the last bit I would see.

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] Rohan12345:
Is it available for n900??
[Android Builders Collective] peikojose:
Will have to redownload... Maybe bad download... No exposed.. I didn't even flashed gapps
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
I'm updating the ramfs coming with the kernel, see if that plays out better.

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] ifwillems:
I have run on Twisted ROM the last 2 weeks. No Bluetooth issues at all.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
I lost track of where twisted is at (Slim sync speaking)...

For example, Shamu has no BT issue at all either on latest sync. For my part the problem has to be in device, vendor or kernel, that's the only things that differ from device to device.

New Hammerhead Test Build

It's the very same ROM as this night's, but with updated ramfs in the boot.img, still my kernel at stock CPU max. freq.

I couldn't test this at all, not home and my N5 lies at home, so a nandroid is certainly a good idea.

[Android Builders Collective] amphi66:
Not to "pile on", but as I had seen bootloops before decided to test this ROM.

.

All was running fine w/ [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] 0705. I had been using the stock kernel, but had changed to Elemental 4.04 a couple of days ago.

.

Wiped system & both caches. Flashed your current ROM. Phone booted OK and began "optimizing" apps 1-105. Rebooted at app #99. Began optimizing apps 1-11 (note overlap in app #s). Rebooted at app #3. Began boot looping. Forced restart to recovery after 4 boot loop cycles. Will try again wiping data also. --Larry

------ Edit: wiped system, data and both caches. Flashed today's ROM + mini-Gaps 0702. Rebooted while optimizing apps (missed the #). Initiated optimizing app 9 of 9. Rebooted. Entered boot loops. Sorry.

Well, I can also just push with stock kernel if it causes issues.

[Android Builders Collective] amphi66:
These are the same symptoms I had last time when I was trying your ROM early on w/ layers, but thought the problem was just me as I hadn't read about anyone else w/ issues. Do not have this issue with any other ROM. For the heck of it I reflashed Elemental 4.04 kernel overclocked to 2650 and she booted just fine.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
What can I say, I clean and dirty flash since way over a year, the kernel has never cause a reboot on my end, and the (given not that many, about 40-50 DLs) never reported any such behavior in my forum over that whole time...

I'll just push the next builds with stock kernel.

JP.

EDIT: Just dirtyflashed v2, booted up just fine, no reboot nor any other weird behavior.
[Android Builders Collective] amphi66:
Based on the strange sequence of reboots as posted above, seems to me more of a ROM/Gapps or data issue than a kernel issue. I will wipe & try w/o Gapps. What is v2 you mention?

--Edit: Full wiped again & this time flashed only the ROM which booted fine. Then flashed the 0703Gapps & again all booted fine. Rewiped & flashed ROM + Gapps -- entered bootloop. Strange!
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Recent gapps have been turmenting me ... let me upload an older slim gapps, those I still use and which work just fine on my end.

I dont have any clue, clean flashed it again (no gapps, no xposed , no nothing) bootloop.. :(
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Hmm ... would be an issue to test with an internal memory wipe ? If it's too much fuss, don't ;)

I just have no clue how the same binary files would produce such a difference on different "copies" of the very same device :(

Something must be off, but I mean kernelwise, it's the very same base since months, I only updated the ramfs, but last "active commit" was on April 1st, and that was a mere update to 5.1.x sources... and it's been running fine an quite a few devices I have feedback on.

Good Morning. Yep, that is the ROM version I am using. Will try those Gapps in a bit.

--- Edit: Seemed to take a while to complete, but clean flash w/ v2 ROM & 0401 Gapps booted just fine. So success w/ old Gapps or ROM then Gapps in 2-stage flash. Otherwise bootloop.

Anyone recommend a stable rom with layers support for n5 with a recent build? I'm fed up going between roms and moving cos of bugs.

ROM Update SlimLP beta 0.2

After these "chasing the lag" kind of days, plus been busy with real life a bit, here's an update, nothing new featurewise compared to the testbuilds, just a repo sync, updated kernel ramfs (shamu & hammerhead), updated vendor binaries (shamu) and updated device tree (flounder).

About the lags :

I could pin down the lag to recent gapps. I'm not saying the gapps are the cause, but they are at least the trigger (same goes for hammerhead btw, can't speak for other devices, I focused on those 2 only).

When using recent gapps, I can't avoid getting lags which grow worse as uptime increases.

But when using my good old gapps I had been using since April's fools day till last week, I don't run into any such issues.

Also had reported to me that a clean flash with recent gapps on shamu resulted in getting stuck in the Google setup wizard (part of gapps), which is not the case on the old gapps.

Since Google Play updates itself to latest, can't be that. The difference I noted, though, is the Google Play Services version stays unchanged (does not update), and with 7.5.sth (slim mini gapps 20150401) I get no lags, with 7.8.sth (slim zero gapps 20150717) I do get them.

Now the worst news is, flashing the old gapp on top the newer ones will result in a sh*tstorm of FC on boot, so downgrading that far requires a clean flash unfortunately (I was luck, I just reverted to a nandroid from before I updated).

I can't say when this started, as I almost never update my gapps (had this bad idea a week ago for the first time since April), I don't have any version inbetween.

Downloads :

If you want to try the old gapps for yourselves, I've uploaded them to AFH, you can download the slim mini 20150401 from there.

As usual, ROM download links can be found in my OP in the Builders Collective, post 14.

Note for hammerhead users : this build still has my kernel in, if you have bootloop issues please flash your favourite kernel right after the ROM before first boot.

JP.
