I've been contemplating getting an N9 as well. my N7 has served me well but I just kinda feel it's time for an upgrade. Everything else is that price range and size range is either Samsung or garbage. Lemme know how you like the N9 and maybe i'll pick one up as well.

Pixel C is a Chromebook pretending to be a tablet. Way too expensive for what it is.

Yeah I'd say the N7 is the perfect tablet. Nothing beats it in the price, performance, and developer support. Even now, two years after it was released. Really wished the N9 would have done better out of the gate. But the price has fallen enough, and it doesn't look like Google has any intentions of making an affordable tablet again, i'm really temped to pick one up.
[Android Builders Collective] NovaSlim:
N9 32 GB $479 when not on sale on google store Pixel C 32GB is $499 without keyboard and runs android so it is neither overpriced or "Chromebook pretending to be a tablet"
[Android Builders Collective] efan3719:
it's overall design, the name, and it's goal at being a productivity device. i just really feel like it was meant to be something else, or it's being pushed out for the holidays before Android OS has actually done anything to warrant being used as a productivity device.

sort of how the Nexus 6 didn't feel like a Nexus. Was likely the result of a program that never came to fruition and instead of throwing all that work away they slapped a Nexus logo on the back.

but you're right about the prices. currently on the Play Store the N9 and entry level Pixel C with no keyboard are almost the same price. If I was buying from there, it'd definitely be the Pixel C. But a used N9 at around the 250 dollar range is more what i'd be will to spend on that device.
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
How about a new N9 for sub $100...couldn't pass it up ;)
[Android Builders Collective] efan3719:
wow! now that's a good price.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to get the OnePlus x in the Slimroms device list, i have already prepared the complete build setup for SlimLP ,but the device isn't listed, so no build command possible. There is an existiereng cm tree with initial build. Any ideas?

[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
You need to "bring along" a device tree (device, kernel and vendor repos).

If you have that, you'd need to "slimmify" the device repo on one end (check other device repos, it's not as complicated as it sounds and I initially thought) and also make sure kernel is built from source (device repo as well) and you should be at ground zero to maintain the device.

Can't help where to get those base repo's from, though, I've never looked at OP devices.

[Android Builders Collective] Ankru:
Thanks for reply. Will this be possible by CM repos- cause i have all cm repos ,but OnePlus only brings kernel repos in githup. CM offers all at this time.

Gesendet von meinem ONE E1003 mit Tapatalk
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
You should be able to use CM's, but you will need to de-CMify and slimmify... it's worth a shot at least ;)

Or you revert to where CMification starts and go from there.

Just in time for Christmas, my favourite all time ROM on the best device i ever owned :D:D:D
[Android Builders Collective] Real_Justus:
I really hope you know how much appreciated this is...!
[Android Builders Collective] teemo:
Seeking some advice from the pro Slim builders:

Need a new phone. Am currently in Asia looking at all kinds of wonders. I really would like to get N5X knowing that it just works and works well... but.

So many phones seem to have more for the same price.

Questioning display, RAM and battery.

Huawei have some interesting devices and they look good.

Asus look average but have awesome specs, 4G RAM and 64-128G storage. Intel... hmmmm?

Lenovo? Oppo? Love HTC but to be honest they are not competitive anymore. Samsung is a no go.

One thing's for sure. I want Slim! Want a good camera! What are my options? Is Qualcomm a must for custom ROMs?
[Android Builders Collective] indian84:
If you want Slim Official Support, I would suggest, stay away most if Chinese phones. N5X is the way to go. OP2 is not a bad choice too. Not sure if it will get Official Slim Support though.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Nexus is the only one to really get. Just get the 6P :)
[Android Builders Collective] teemo:
Lol. Yes I would get 6P if the price was lower and it didn't have this ugly back. It is an awesome device though.

I don't need official support, just a device that is upgradeable. I've been happy with my HTC one X homebuild SlimBean, SlimKat and SlimLP.

Reason for upgrading is

1. 1GB simply is not enough. That's why I question 2GB, how long is that enough?

2. Tegra.

3. Old battery.

4. 2 years+ is a long time with one phone :D
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
:) I had the one x too. That was one of my favs. The good old Viper days. I've been seeing some great shots of both the N5x and 6p for battery and a couple comments that the 6p is the best nexus some have owned. I don't think you could go wrong with either really but I think from what I've been reading that the 5x is a very worthy successor of the 5. :)
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Still running my 6p full stock unrooted ... and I love it !

Finally a worthy successor of my beloved HH with the right size screen, snappy as hell, enough internal memory (128), great battery life (5+ h sot over a full day with the same setup that gave me about 3 on shamu), nice display, good sound, excellent build quality, good camera ...

It's not cheap, admit that, but I must admit shamu feels like it was overpriced compared to angler from where I stand now.

Running the 6p unrooted for a few more days still, till I have a ROM ready to flash on it ;)

But from what I have seen so far I can only recommend going for angler :D

Just hope ROM bringup will not be a headache ;)

But I mean, it's a Nexus, so it can't be that hard :D

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Well 6P is the only Android device you should even think about at the moment.
[Android Builders Collective] AquilaDroid:
Contrarian point of view - I LOVE my Nexus 5X. It actually fits in normal size pockets, fast, several really good 6.0.1 roms available. It's what the N-5 should have been. No issues with either ram or storage size. Just hanging out here hoping for a Slim Bullhead build...
[Android Builders Collective] teemo:
I sure think about it, but it stops there unfortunately. Budget stops at €400.

Oppo r7plus and x pure looks interesting. Oppo already done with cm on it and moto in process. Choices choices.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Well, ok actually didn't even remember the Moto.

I tested the X Style for a while. Nice phone with a decent camera and good build quality. Haven't had a chance to test the X Play though.
[Android Builders Collective] tuemdeluxe:
If you're able to wait, wait for the 6p price drop in Europe, some days ago the 64gb model was available for 500€ on amazon France already (you can order from almost any European country I assume as I bought from Amazon Spain and France already as a German amazon customer).

I'm hoping for a 400-450€ offer around February but who knows, 600+ € is just too much for a phone for me especially considering the US prices.

Anyway, make sure to get a nexus :)
[Android Builders Collective] dankoman:
we need a maintainer for bullhead - afaik nobody on slim team currently owns the device...

I want to start working on a grouper version that is updated is that a problem?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Of course not, shoot right away, the more the merrier ;)

-------------

Talking about more ... since I'm waiting for 6.0.1 CAF to drop and get merged, I've been working on an AOSP angler ROM the last two days.

In case anyone wants to give it a shot : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=45668

Only issue, you'll get play services FC during setup wizard, but you'll be able to go through normally. Once you're done, go to settings/apps, in the menu tap on show system apps and then set all permissions for play services and you'll be good. Haven't figured that out (and I have added the commit that should fix that...). As gapps I currently use arm64 nano open gapps.

Build as of now (v0.2) features are :

adblock. hosts - busybox - updated APN - show app name while optimizing (show optimizing on 1st boot) - screen rotations (lockscreen still to be added) - config. dpi - fine font size - tap to wake option in settings - lockscreen rotation option - expanded desktop - unlink ring/notification volume - seekbar animation speed - more battery saver steps - fastscroll apps in settings - hide adb debug option - Nexus sound files - some material visual updates - system UI tuner accessible - open app from app info - show package name in app info

Most of this is coming from PureNexus repos, a few things I've made / fixed myself (like lockscreen rotation). Now I'm through with what I wanted from PureNexus, I'll start going through my LP AOSP ROM and Slim stuff in the next 2 days ;)

JP.

EDIT: You can use "normal" BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip.
[Android Builders Collective] likonvampire:
Thanks looks promising ! Will give it a whirl tonight .. Flash Unsu and then systemless SU is good ?
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Forgot to add that info, you can use BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip (that's what I'm using), the ROM is patched for it to work out of the box.

Don't know if systemless needs anything more to work ?

JP.
[Android Builders Collective] TJKV:
Systemless just modifies the boot image, so it shouldn't need anything special since it's designed to modify the stock boot images. That's assuming none of your kernel additions hamper that process :P

One would just have to fully unroot the ROM first I think.
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Yup, Systemless shouldn't need anything special. And that is the reason why people shouldn't even use the old SuperSu anymore as all the development is done on the systemless. The 2.61 is working fine (after that you need some tinkering to get Android pay etc to work).
[Android Builders Collective] NovaSlim:
Got a pre-rooted 2.52 ROM, can't be bothered with systemless unless it have shown superior reliability and functionality(janky Android Pay avaliabilty don't count, don't even use it). :p :p
[Android Builders Collective] TJKV:
Reliability and functionality is the same as system based ones, it's just simpler to root using systemless on 6.0+ Stock, because using the system based one would still necessitate modifying boot image, that too manually (probably, I haven't seen any automated scripts for it). So might as well use the method that does it automatically in one flash of a zip.

But if we aren't talking about Stock then simpler is no longer a plus for systemless, so one would be fine with either. Just have to choose between known-to-work-well traditional method vs newer-but-future-direction method.
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
From what I get, for systemless to be compatable with a ROM, the ROM can't contain the SuperSU binaries on flashing...I haven't read that anywhere, but that's my experience with it. :)
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
Of course it can, but you just have to flash the unSu.zip script before if you want to "turn" it to systemless
[Android Builders Collective] TJKV:
Yep that's what I had meant when I said one needs to fully unroot the ROM first. I haven't tried any custom ROMs based on 6.0/x yet, so wasn't aware of the unSu.zip :)

I'll keep a copy of that zip for when I do flash slim6 when yank gets around to it :p
[Android Builders Collective] likonvampire:
That's the same i did , flash rom , slim gapps , Ex kernel , unsu.zip followed by SuperSu2.61 . Been running rock solid since last night ...
[Android Builders Collective] inffy:
You should flash the unSu zip before the kernel and after kernel the Supersu
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
Thanks :) I wasn't aware of that zip either. Would be nice to have Pay working. I do have quite a few places around me that have Pay.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Oh kernel is full stock, running so good it has yet to catch my attention ;)

If all it needs is the patched boot.img, my ROM should be good with either SuperSU, it has the SELinux changes in.

You can, but you need to clone device, kernel and vendor repos from my bitbucket :

Although not yet worth it tbh... better wait for 6.0.1 base.

Heya,

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice a few weeks ago on buying the hammerhead, mine just arrived today and had Yanks build on it less than 10 minutes out of the box! :P

Lovely phone and wish I had bought it when it came out, but had just come from a bad LG experience and got the one plus instead (which is also a great phone but mine has been lost in their repair service for over a month, customer service is the WORST ever!)

Now to catch up on all the threads for a 2 year old phone! :(

I love my hammerhead phones. I upgraded my wife and I almost two years ago and both phones are still running strong. I love all of the different ROMs available here. I've been itching to upgrade to a new phone but I haven't found the sweet spot between price and features, at least for my liking. I was so hoping to be more impressed by the 5X but it's overpriced for what you get IMHO.
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
LOL. If you need the tldr version of any of it just ask hear. We're all pretty willing to help. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen the classic XDA one word answer of "Search" used is this thread. It's a great phone even at two years old. Have fun with it.:cool:

OK, you asked for it. :P

Kernels... I want one with the kexec patch for multirom, but Franco's hasn't been updated for 5.1.1 since April, and I can't make any sense out of the elementalx downloads. Suggestions?
[Android Builders Collective] theesotericone:
I'm a bit biased but I use ElementalX. It's pretty much the only kernel I use on the HH. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is one of the friendliest Devs around and his kernel is top flight out of the box. [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] also has a HH kernel that he posts here as a zip from time to time. It's quite good as well. I'm sure he'll chime in.:cool: The third one I'd look at would be hellscore. He has a post about it in the Q&A section.
[Android Builders Collective] NovaSlim:
What part of the EX download doesn't make sense? You should be getting EX-N5-4.09 here http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/

for a 5.1.1 based ROM. The express version is there in case you just want to keep the same settings on a ROM dirty flash later.
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
The kernel provided with the ROM (be it DM-builds or mine) has that ;)

The kernel I post actually is the stock SlimLP HH kernel, just as standalone as I'm asked sometimes to do it to change default kernel settings ;)

JP.

PS: Same for shamu on both questions, btw ;)
[Android Builders Collective] dharmabm:
Hmmm, multirom doesn't seem to recognize that, and I seem to recall you saying some time ago that you weren't including the patch. I could be wrong (and often am) but will try elemental for now,I have a lot of experimenting to do with my new toy! :P

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

My primary issue was not seeing what the date of the last update was, and secondary what is the 'express' version. I know I should go through the 3000 posts in that thread, so again I apologize. I'm just going to dive in and try the water.

(Oh Shiite,I just saw you explained the express version in your post)

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

OK, I think I'm where I want to be now (just 6 hours after receiving the phone). I will post the rest of my questions to the appropriate threads, thank you all for your help!
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Correct, but I ended up giving in and included it with just the hint that I would not start looking into an issue unless it was reproducable without multirom ;)

Personally I haven't used multirom, but had reported it did work. The kernel has the kexec patch (even the very first Slim6 alpha has it), but on MM there is the issue with the update-script which now has a verify, so from what I gathered it only works flashing as first ROM.
