Yes it seems we are :P I guess it's just one step less to take when flashing so why not? :)

Are you losing root with SuperSU or are you trying to use the standard built-in Superuser? I've been flashing and flashing my test-builds since December sometimes 4-5 times a day with TWRP up from 2.8.1 to the most recent 2.8.5. versions and using SuperSU I haven't lost root once.

Have you tried doing a full restoration of the latest factory image and then redo -> customrecovery-> roms & root? Also what phone are you using?

[Android Builders Collective] mcgi5sr2:
Hi trying to use the built in one (Slim/Superuser), as I am either going for maintainer or attempting to get the i9300 up to scratch for official release. I noticed it is a few commits behind the CM and has some still unmerged on the Slim gerrit so going to try with CM one see if it works.

I am trying to create a pure SlimLP build, although this is partly because everytime I go off piste it ends up a bloomin mess.

Manifest looks fine, have you set up your proprietary files in your device folder as well?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Absolutely.

I must say, on my end, seeing the actual numbres is rather helpful to have an idea of what's going on ... it would be nice to have both options in settings for everyone to choose from if it is to go into official, imho.

I decided it was time I got my Hammerhead some personal Slim love, so I've made the necessary steps today and compilation just got through, it's running as I hope, now I have twins, a little like Schwarzenegger and De Vito, one is bigger the other not so much :D

If anyone wants to give them a testdrive, here is the changelog and the links are below :

Nexus 6 aka Shamu : ROM / Kernel

Nexus 5 aka Hammerhead : ROM / Kernel

The ROM comes with stock SlimLP kernel, my kernel is just an additional option (You'll need to register to my forum to download the kernel).

[Android Builders Collective] PerfectSlayer:
The fact is those meters are differents. There is one with text and mine with bars.

I tried to make a new version of the network meter, a new more user-friendly one. The main drawback of text network meter is 42kb/s has no meaning to my girlfriend. With bars, she could have a quick look and check if its YouTube video could be played or not or if streamed music will work. It's a relative indication to help determining the bandwidth quality. I mean, would you better have a wifi icon or a text with dB signal attenuation value ? :rolleyes:

The other drawback is the text width always changes, so icons are moving and I dislike when I couldn't find fixed elements at a glance.

I understand that text meter is interesting for advanced user and if you like the settings of the text meter, I could make a merge of the two meters (mine plugged on the text meter settings). I think to leave the bar as default meter (the more user-friendly) and let (power) user change for text or disable it if he doesn't want to show it at all.

I'm not doing anything fancy, just a repo sync and few cherry picks so i haven't the slightest idea why languages would be missing.

I think took chains have much less positive affect (if any) on kernels compared to ROMs. If I see someone advertising their kernel as linaro, I tend to avoid that kernel.

[Android Builders Collective] pkelly517:
Quoted only as a point of reference:

Has anyone seen real advantages to custom toolchains? I know plenty of folks around here use SaberMod and maybe others. I've not tried, because other than Linaro, I've not sen much that says toolchain X is way better. And to be honest, even seeing what Linaro can do, I've not seen it it in day to day use.

I say this with complete ignorance, so no one should be offended. Any difference in speed that I've noticed has been from different devices. My deb is much pokeyer switching between apps than hammerhead. Manta can be a sloth, or it can whip right through its' request.

Anyhow, maybe a small discussion/debate to ensue. I hope so.
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
You sure about that? Code_blue, ElementalX, and Bricked user Linaro. Hybryd uses SabreMod. If you've really stayed away from all those your missing out on some of the best kernels the N5 has(or had in your case) to offer.
[Android Builders Collective] jtwlbz:
I'm running twisted ROM which built with sabremod I feel snappier than original slim though... is it just me?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
There's plenty of choice here, so each to his/her own can be served here just well ;)

All I can say is from pure kernel development, i9300 back then, I made the same kernel with linaro and google (4.4.3 and 4.6) and made a blind test (over 100 voters).

As long as it was blind, Google 4.6 was in lead, 4.4.3 second and linaro far last.

With these votes, I revealed which was which and kept the poll open for the same time, linaro went from last to be close second.

So this is what I call placebo, if it 'works' once you know which is which.

Now ROM and kernel may be different. But in the end of the day it's code being compiled by a compiler (cross-compiler in this case), and I prefer to stick with what the code was intended to be compiled with.

On the kernel side you needed to 'change' codebits so it compiled...

So my conclusion back then was simply to stick with Google's, since 95-99% of what we compile is stock AOSP and the code is 'made for that compiler'.

I put stability before pure performance, also.

But that is my conclusion, not saying it is any 'truer' than any other way of looking at this ;)

So let's discuss, but keep this 'friendly' I really didn't want to start some flame war :(

My comment was directed at [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] saying he avoided Linaro kernels. I'm pretty sure he's used them all so it was more of a joke.:silly:

I think this is a conversation we could all benefit from. I would be curious to see who has done actual testing in the matter and what the results are. In all my reading of android related thing I can't recall any one ever coming up with conclusive test data either way. Your placebo experiment is a good way to go about it but far from what I would call scientific. It's interesting that the control group points to the standard compiler as being the better one. I'd be curious to hear some other kernel devs way in on this.

So what do you say everyone? Anyone have links to boring technical reading on the matter?:cool:

Hi, glad I found this thread ☺

I used your custom CM ROM and now this one. With both I got the same issue: the GPS disappeared from the device after about a day!

"Disappeared" means that apps like GPS status report that the device has no GPS :(

Both times I used the same 64bit gapps package that was recommended everywhere.

Any ideas?
[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
Not sure how it happens that this whole discussion is about toolchains and not optimizations?

Slim IS optimized to some extent. Kernel on Nexus 5 WAS compiled with Linaro 4.9 until [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] found some issues and switched back to Google but it didn't touch flags, it is in github history.

First SlimLP release contained code in the build module for testing -O3 optimizations, it was removed by Josue after a while but it demonstrates that kufi tryed -O3 optimizations on the rom. Also, I found an "hidden branch" called "testing" into frameworks_av module (by mistakenly giving the "git checkout testing" command instead of "git checkout -b testing" that was patching libc/bionic so it was compilable with Linaro 4.8 and -O3 optimizations. By the way that was the only required patch to compile the whole rom with Linaro and -O3, while on KitKat we needed so many... I don't think this is casual, Lollipop code was written with -O3 compatibility in mind. To end, some users noticed two weeklies ago that SlimLP was faster and snappier and asked if some optimizations were added (nobody answered), they was... I think it was a patch who added FPU optimizations, it is on Gerrit history but please don't ask me to find it - I don't really understood how the search engine on Gerrit works.

What I mean is simple: currently all toolchains can use -O3 optimizations at best so it is unimportant which one one use but it is important to use them, there is a difference, it is not placebo effect! The greatest part of [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]'s work was not at choosing the "right" toolchain or on finding which modules needed patching or not: it was the 200 hours he spent to accurately check if the rom was stable after using those -O3 optimizations.

It was, and so here we are. :D

P.S. I quoted your post but this is general, not directly related to you in any way. Quite the contrary, if you can help me to include the whetstone benchmark in the rom so it can be called from a terminal emulator app I'll demonstrate it with numbers. On daily use I already know my build is both fastest and more responsive then stock Lollipop (or SlimLP). It doesn't depend on the toolchain used but on -O3 optimizations. :)
