Thanks, I guess I could stay with the provided kernel also ?

Weird bug : when I install both the ROM and the Stock Google PA Gapps in sequence in TWRP, the ROM never boots. I see the boot animation for minutes (more than 15). If I install the ROM only, boot (in less than a minute), then install the Gapps, all is ok.

However I don't get the initial config screen where I can get my previous backed up data from Google. Is that normal ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wh1t3Rose:
Not really a bug. This happens on most ROMs. Gapps is really picky. I would reflash the ROM so system gets wiped. Boot. Then flash Gapps. That will get you the Setup screen.

What Gapps package did you use?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Theberge43:
Like I said, PA Gapps - Stock Google ones. Well, I never got the initial setup screen. It just boots with the apps installed and no accounts. Is it because I did not delete SDCARD/ANDROID ?

I'm having trouble with my signal. For some reason about half the time when I put my phone into sleep (maybe deep sleep, not really sure), as soon as I unlock the phone I won't have signal for about 3 seconds. The problem is that if it is in sleep mode I miss text messages due to no signal. Is this a known bug? What can I do?

Nav bar issues

The nav bar only shows the back button and not the home or recents after the most recent update. Is this a bug or am I missing something. Doing it on stock kernel w/ROM & Code Blue (dont think the kernel is the issue though). Anybody have an idea hwo to fix this? Thanks

I'm currently on the latest nightly, while also running the latest elemental x kernel.

I see some of you are having problems installing it. This is what I did.

Start with a clean install (wipe cache, dalvik, data and system)

1. Flash F2FS-EXT4-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip from cl3kener's site

2. Flash optipop

3. Flash UBER

4. Flash gapps

5. REBOOT to let system finish setting up

6. REBOOT back into recovery

7. Flash Elemental X

So far everything is working together for me although I do miss being able to underclock

NOTE: I tried to take a screenshot but for some reason it says I do not have enough storage.. Weird. I can still take pics and video

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Are you flashing anything other than rom and gapps? If no then try banks gapps, they work fine with me. Also, you have to install gapps before the very first time you boot to have the initial setup. If you install rom, then boot, then install gapps, you will never have the initial setup.

I don't know whether this is ROM specific but anyone mind explaining what this does? I'm Talking about Development shortcut .

Feature Request.......

I'm gonna roll dice here! ;)

Is notification light customization per App planned for Optipop? This is one of the big things I miss from Gravitybox on Xposed Framework. I know there are apps like Light Flow & Light Manager, but Notification light management seems like something that should be part of the ROM itself (even Google's Stock ROM). It's a customizable but very basic feature.

I like to be able to do things like make the notification light orange for notifications from TheScore app, or blue for Facebook. :)

Thanks for a great ROM.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FloGatt:
It is already there. Go to Settings - Sound and Notification - notification light - use custom values - press "+" in the right upper corner.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Saint George:
Hi all.

I used to flash custom ROMs in my old HTC Leo all the time. Now on my Nexus 5, I only flashed the Lollipop factory images.

Now, I would fancy giving this ROM a try but I haven´t installed any custom recovery in it yet. Frankly, I am a bit reluctant to install a recovery. I wonder whether it would be possible to use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit or other tool to install ROM without any custom Recovery.

Regards.

Increasing ringtone seems to not working. Anyone else?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdx47:
To answer my own question, I did another clean flash but without deleting the data. Bottom line with this ROM is that I must Manually wipe system, cache etc otherwise I get into a bootloop. This ROM add excellent as it is does 'seem' to have a problem with system clean up.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Zhypr:
Impossible
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JayR_L:
I'll make a case for installing a custom recovery.

Backing up your EFS.

Your EFS contains device specific (meaning, only your specific phone) information such as IMEI and other pieces of data required to connect to your carrier.

While you should never need to use the backup, it is not impossible that a bad flash could wipe it, rendering your device's telephony functions absolutely useless.

If you decide to flash custom ROMs, you should most definitely backup your EFS and *store it off device*, such as Google Drive and your PC. Just in case.

Part of a clean flash is wiping system - the part a lot seem to think is unnecessary, but is actually is the most important.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Sparubens:
Is there an option to completely disable Heads Up notifications?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
LOL!

You mean like the TWRP Recovery team that says only a "factory reset" is necessary when clean flashing a ROM.

I have a feeling that we are going to be debating this for a long time, but I never format the system partition when flashing a ROM, and won't unless I can identify a problem that creates.

OTOH formatting the system partition before flashing the ROM won't hurt anything, unless it causes a mount problem in the updater-script, so have at it if that makes you feel better about your flash. :good:

From your own link:

Optipop updater script does NOT wipe system.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Lol - the reason I'm not going further is cuz I already had that debate - a while back!

It's been part of my standard process from when I first got into this addiction. Feels weird if I don't do it now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Ummm...

From the updater script for OptiPop_Dark_Deodexed_Cl3Kener_Jan-3-2015.zip:

ui_print("*********************************************");
ui_print("* ) ( *");
ui_print("* ( /( ) )\ ) *");
ui_print("* )\()) ( /(( (()/( *");
ui_print("* ((_)\ ` ) )\())\ /(_))( ` ) *");
ui_print("* ((_) /(/( (_))((_|_)) )\ /(/( *");
ui_print("* / _ \((_)_\| |_ (_) _ \((_|(_)_\ *");
ui_print("* | (_) | '_ \) _|| | _/ _ \ '_ \) *");
ui_print("* \___/| .__/ \__||_|_| \___/ .__/ *");
ui_print("* |_| |_| *");
ui_print("* *");
ui_print("*********************************************");
show_progress(0.750000, 0);
package_extract_file("system/bin/format-system.sh", "/tmp/format-system.sh");
set_metadata("/tmp/format-system.sh", "uid", 0, "gid", 0, "mode", 0755);
[b]run_program("/tmp/format-system.sh");[/b]

I believe the last line qualifies as a wipe of the system partition if you look at what's being done in "format-system.sh". The reason it's done in a script in this case is so the existing format (ext4/f2fs) can be detected and maintained.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdx47:
I wouldn't mind seeing that shell script because this is the very first ROM I have EVER had to manually wipe system to work without boot looping. I admit that it may be to do with Multirom and the way it folds the system but even so I have installed two other ROMs recently with just the TWRP recommended basic wipe using Multirom!

Permissive kernel ? Are you sure? Code Blue is enforcing by default. Oh and Gapps last? Seriously?

Guys I have already been through this problem (I even ended up soft bricking my phone LoL) and I have given the answer on how to get it working onthis thread. I had to do TWO things to get this ROM to work with multi ROM.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
Running debian sid on my main server and 4 other machines for more than 15 years, I have learned that scripts don't always work/fail/incomplete, for whatever reason, not saying this is the case here, but, I always format system manually (last thing I do before install rom) and never had a problem with a rom, unless the problem was with the rom itself, which does happen, not often, but sometimes happens.

It never hurts to do things manually, waste of 1.2 seconds yes, but I feel better knowing I have that manual option and for me, no problems. :D

I don't use twrp so I can't commit on that
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Mine was soft bricked, too. Twice!

1. Now, please tell us what is that "manually wiped the system partition"? TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Thick "System" -> Back -> Slide to wipe?

2. The instructions says nothing about when the ROM has to be flashed. It starts with the "1. Flash GAPPS".
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdx47:
LoL [emoji13]

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Personally I go to advanced wipe then select System, cache and dalvik. Go back then swipe to wipe. DO NOT CHECK DATA or Internal memory unless you are doing a complete fresh install with no existing data of course. [emoji15]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
now with the expertise of people who go as per scripts and the theories and thesis they have got updated in their own topics and their expertise apart....

doing a manual format/using wipe system doesn't do any harm rather avoids doing any harm so far with optipop :) so please do so and those have their own expertise and claims with twrp coders and self coders can do it the way they want to...

or probably upload a rom of yours and then mention the steps you feel to and then guide the users the way you feel as per your expertise?

but for now if they are flashing optipop builds let the users follow what is mentioned in the op by the rom developer? if thats okay with you geniuses please let the users follow as mentioned in the op :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vsot13:
1. It's been answered( see previous post)

In TWRP, I always thought a clean flash was "factory reset" (same as manual wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data). Dirty flash is same but not data. No need to resetup phone with dirty. I clean flash on new rom, dirty on updates. I don't use multi rom. This rom flashed fine with clean, and fine with dirty from previous build (for me).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
The geniuses do what the op says to do - wipe data, caches, and, guess what - system. In other words, clean flash.

And don't forget first rule of dirty flashing - which is - don't post issues. You dirty flash, you're on your own.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Factory reset doesn't touch system partition.

Next time you flash, do a factory reset, then reboot. You'll find the setup screens again. And you get those cuz there is still an os installed. That's not clean.

Most can get away with dirty flashing, but, that depends on the changes made from 1 version to the next.

Minor changes shouldn't be a problem, but remember, early stages of development usually mean major changes, and those are the ones that will bite ya.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdx47:
I have to admit that from my time on these boards this is the first time I have seen a "clean" flash been anything other than the Factory Reset. At the same time if I had "fully" understood the OP I would not have had any issues. Bottom line, most of us would automatically do a factory reset. I know I did. But we can't argue with the OP so we end up with this stand off.

Maybe this ROM as it is a little unusual could have a warning when flashing. Just a suggestion.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Nah. Root cause is not knowing what a clean flash is and how it's done. I find that most obvious in most thread.

"My use" tends to be 4hrs SOT with most roms including this one.

By the way, I "thought" a factory reset wiped system in twrp, I may be wrong, but anytime I factory reset, I also do second manual wipe including system. I only do system and caches for a dirty flash (same rom only).

I get similar SOT with most ROMs and kernels. I think the kernel has more impact on battery life than the ROM anyway. However running this ROM and Code Blue kernel has awesome battery life....... For me that is, and to be honest no one combination works for everyone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ramjet73:
Please don't turn this wiping preference discussion into some kind of contest. Wipe what you want to on your own phone but referring users to sources like the articles by the TWRP team describing what wipes are necessary is not just stating opinion or preference since they are the ones that write and maintain the software that actually does the flashing of ROM's and kernels. If your experience is different than their advice then don't follow it and leave it at that and don't criticize those that help make other users aware of it.

I've come from another ROM and clean flashed OptiPop and Uber Release using TWRP with nothing more than a factory reset so I know that works for me and I will continue to do it that way unless I have problems. I don't use MultiROM and from what I've seen in multiple threads users that do may need slightly different wipe procedures.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Then you should not have to ask when to flash the rom. That's noob territory. The only complication with the instructions is that they are "one size fits all" with respect to file system and multirom. Imo, the problems arise because people don't understand why each step is done. I purposely don't follow the instructions. I dirty flash, mix and match partitions from different backups, etc. Sometimes it works out; sometimes it doesn't. The key is I understand what I did and how to deal with the issues that come from it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdx47:
The problem here was that many of us didn't follow the OP and simply went ahead and did what we would normally do. This probably works fine without Multi ROM but not with.

I could easily argue that Optipop should work like all the other ROMs I have flashed but it doesn't and the following the OP works. End of!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I don't follow the OP. I have no complaints. The user needs to understand why the instructions are the way they are not just what they are. Big mistake by dev to trust the user. :silly::D
