You are just an absolute mess. The way I upgrade my ROM from one version to another is make a backup of everything I have up until now and then wipe system dalvik and cache. After that I flash the newest version, gapps, the kernel of my choice and SuperSU last just in case. Haven't had a single issue or FC so far.

Also it is worth to mention that I haven't upgraded to the latest version just yet, but I am pretty sure no problems will arise from that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] obayda.bd:
But I have clean flashed with pa mini modular gapps and home+recent buttons are gone..how to solve this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aamadorj:
Are you installing one of the permissive kernel versions at step 3) of the procedure shown at OP?

Installation Instructions:

1) Wipe Data Cache System and /sdcard/Android folder

2) Flash ROM and GApps

3) Flash stock EXT4/F2FS kernel of your choice (see here: https://plus.google.com/104384867235711140238/posts/jgGGnRsuQiy) You'll also want to flash one of these kernels for ramdisk fix. AOSP doesn't assemble boot.img correctly which breaks charging animation when device is powered off.

4) Then Flash UBER KERNEL (Highly recommended)

5) Flash your choice of Superuser (Optional - I use SuperSU found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)

Note: Always flash SuperSU last to avoid problems. If you choose to dirty flash wipe system partition then flash everything again in this order above ^^^. DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!

I do not know if the error is in the rom (OptiPop_Dark_Odexed_Cl3Kener_Dec-25-2014) or kernel (UBER-L-N5-SM-4.8.5-Faux-12-26-2014) the fact is that my phone turned off by fully discharge the battery and connect the charger the icon was all the time with question mark and did not care had to reinstall both the Rom, gapps and kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Guys, don't flash the enforcing kernel. That was the culprit for me! Then again not every kernel work with permissive. I know that Franco and big_bum don't go well with the rom. Code blue and uber are good!

Hey [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION], Just to report a small bug that's bugging me. Is really nothing but I figure I'll report it. When typing with the keyboard in landscape, the down arrow in the nav bar is really small. Looks just weird. I guess it's easy to fix...

Thanks for the great ROM by the way.

The clock app is really weird...after i set the alarm,the alarm icon in statusbar starts flashing really fast and after some time is force clossing..i saw this on other roms to so it must be some new CM bug 'cause i didn't see this 'till the latest update...Ohh,and somethimes the light sensor stops working after a few hours of standby but it's a random thing and it's happening with all Lollipop kernels,but never on stock rom/kernel(no problem in kitkat)

Franco is the only kernel I've been using on the nexus 5 for any ROM without any issues. In fact it works the best out of all the kernels I've tried. Right now I am using the 4.8.4 version of the ROM and there is no trouble. I'll update it in an hour or two and post results.

Your face. Lol jkjk idk, would like to know also as well
[Nexus 5 Android Development] cdonald:
Idk if anything differs in terms of multirom, but my process is always:

Mount system

Wipe system

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe cache

Unmount system

Install Optipop

Install GAPPS (I've never had a problem with Banks)

Install the appropriate F2FS/EXT4 kernel, according to your set-up

Install your preferred kernel

Install SuperSU

Reboot

Prosper

Never have had any issues using this procedure. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] robertm2011:
No you're the one who's a mess, lots of people have flashed this rom trouble-free but it appears that you have no business fooling around with Multirom.

Has anyone managed to flash latest dark odexed on an encrypted device? still getting System UI error popup when I have to enter my PIN code at startup (my device is encrypted). This occurs after upgrading or even with a full wipe/clean install.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
Way to many dirty flashers that want results, here on xda dirty flashing WAS very much frowned upon, it's the lazy process, now, it seems the norm, look at the forums and see people post problem after problem (not just this rom). I pretty much chuckle reading the forums now, kinda sad, especially when it only takes 15 minutes tops to install and & setup everything you want.

Thank for this rom, it runs excellent with hellsgod kernel
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aamadorj:
As mentioned several times at this thread, it seems enforcing kernel is not a good choice with latest OptiPop odexed or deodexed versions.

My suggestion: try the permissive kernel.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] execute_method:
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but...

The rom is working just fine for almost everyone. I, as well as others, had absolutely no problem with the latest builds, so it's obvious that you and the others who are having issues do not understand what you're doing and did not follow the correct steps to install the rom.

My advice to you is to learn what you are doing by researching, trial and error, etc.

Yes, we are here to help when you have problems, but most power users don't want to spoon feed the noobs. It's not a good idea for either party.

Also, I can assure you that when you lead with "This rom it's a mess", you won't have anyone jumping through hoops to get your problem sorted.

Hey guys,

I got everything to run perfectly stable :)

So, I'm using F2FS w/ the UBER kernel, using the Dark Odexe ROM. I came from stock Lollipop 5.0 with Franco Kernel.

1) I installed the latest version of TWRP using TWRP Manager from the play store.

2) Using TWRP, I reformatted the partitions to F2FS using TWRP. I followed the instructions on Chet's G+ page

1. Navigate to Wipe menu
2. Select Format Data and type "yes"
3. Back out of that menu to "Wipe" menu again
4. Select "Advanced Wipe" button
5. Check ONLY System box (Not more than one at a time)
6. Select Repair or Change File System
7. Select Change File System Button
8. Select F2FS button (middle of the right)
9. Return to Advanced Wipe menu
10. Repeat steps 5-9 only selecting Data and Cache instead of system (remember to only check one box at a time - more than one box being checked results in "Invalid Partition Selection" Warning).

3) I Flashed the ROM of choice (Dark Odexed)

4)I Flashed the Permissive F2FS ONLY stock kernel

5) I Flashed the UBER kernel

6) I flashed PA GAPPS. For some reason, I couldn't flash the full GAPPS package since it wouldn't fit. I used the Micro Modular Package with 200 MB system space to spare :)

7) I flashed SuperSU

DONE :)

I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like battery life on the UBER kernel is actually worse than using Franco, but more testing will be needed. I might try going back to the Franco kernel or try Bug Bum :)

I know a lot of people are like "there are so many different instruction posts" but for newbies like me, this can be a pretty daunting task. I hope this helps!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] robertm2011:
Forehead slap...

So true, I've seen so many variations on the wrong way to flash this rom and the main cause is F2FS, especially in conjunction with Multirom; I personally have not seen the need to dive into the F2FS pool, the Nexus 5 is already plenty fast enough for my needs. The flashing of the (in my case) EXT4 permissive kernel followed by the latest Uber Sabermod kernel is specifically for use in Multirom, it is (it seemed to me) clearly explained in Chet Kener's post in the Uber community in G+.

Edit: And people flashing Kitkat gapps on a 5.0X rom? Seriously?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
It's not f2fs. It's not understanding what you're doing to get set up properly. I'm using f2fs now for much the same reason I switched to ART back with KK: it will eventually be the standard so I may as well dive into it.

And I'm running f2fs-all because the OCD in me won't let me have system running a different format than data/cache. :(

[Nexus 5 Android Development] cop1976:
Excuse me, but you're saying bull...t. Of course many people doing something wrong, but obviously there is something wrong with latest version... It's not possible to pass the setup on clean flash of you flashing gapps with the rom, you can't use enforcing kernel that's two most annoying thing's. It was a great rom till 20 of Dec and it still is but now needs some attention from dev...

It will be fixed when it's fixed. Either restore and dirty flash or just wait.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] carlese:
I second that.. Used every single build from the beginning and had not a single problem, clean flashed only the first time and then dirty flash between builds with no problems at all.. The latest build has clearly some problems, varying from dark and white builds, but as I said before these are the main problems:

- setup screen problems

- alarm clock flashing randomly

- problems with some kernels

- fc when clicking on notifications and sound settings

It would be great if someone could make a nice theme for optipop....????
[Nexus 5 Android Development] xontax:
to the sound problems: that's sound like a common android bug to me. I fixed it in 4.2.2 by flashing the latest stock alarm clock. it occur's when devs customize the alarm clock and data is synched the wrong way i think..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] $MyName:
So.. I'm gonna go ahead and jump on the bandwagon of nothing's wrong if you flash properly. First of all, you're trying to run a custom ROM. Enforcing SELinux isn't gonna work well from the first, so you may as well flash permissive given that since you have root, if someone's got hold of your phone, SELinux isn't gonna save you.

Secondly, I dirty flashed the latest update, and clean flashed it. I flashed deodexed and odexed, and gapps, and the latest UBER kernel, and, and, and.. I can NOT recreate the issues that anyone is saying in this thread. So yeah, I'm PRETTY sure it's user error.

And finally, the FC's and such (as I may have mentioned) are almost ALWAYS a result of leftover data from previous/bad installs. Wipe /sdcard/Android/data, if that doesn't fix it backup important stuff and reformat your whole phone with twrp, restore important stuff from PC and flash again. Got $5 in my pocket says that does it. So before you go calling out the dev, make sure you do everything that I just did. It took me a few hours, but I now have sufficient evidence to make an informed statement, as seen above.

Have a great day, all! And thanks once again, [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]. Your ROM is fantastic.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
Yeppers, why dirty flashing will always catch up to you, yes, it can work ... for awhile ... libs, framework, etc, change and so does the ballgame.

It's very comparable to using a "stable" version of debian with testing & sid repos open without pinning, one thru five "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" will work (more or less) and then boom, your system don't boot, then you go to that distro's forum page and post, the dev's ask what you installed last and ask for a paste of your repo's and see that your using stable/testing/ and sid, then to top it off, your also using ppa's from ubuntu, which is based on debian, but, is not binary compatible with debian, your support pretty much stops and your questions go unanswered because in that distro's manual it will tell you how to properly "maintain" your distro and you didn't "READ".

Android is very similar to linux in a lot of ways, reading the op for one which seems no-one does ever (you can tell by the questions in all forums)

I think dirty installs are for very lazy people, although, has it's moments for testing purposes and should not EVER be posting problems on any thread, then you do have some people that know what their doing and don't post, because they know better and can "fix" the problem.

If you don't know how to fix, you shouldn't be dirty flashing and shouldn't be asking for help on any thread.

Dirty flashing gives the android experience a bad name IMHO.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] carlese:
Lol dirty flash is not for lazy people, I just don't want to spend 1h or more EVERYDAY trying kernels, ROMs and other things.. As cink40 said I dirty flashed millions of times and never had a single problem, I clean flash only when I switch aosp/cm ROMs or when switching from one android version to another because of course things are different.. From one build to another clean flash is just a waste of time, things should work straight away and if not people should report it. The latest build has problems, many people reported them, so if you don't have problems you either didn't try the rom thoroughly and doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist.. That's my 2 cents..

What you just said equals laziness

You said you don't want to spend an hour or more setting up kernel, ROM, etc

Is that or is that not laziness ?

Not going tru the motions or simply taking shortcuts is usually because of laziness especially when it comes to programming, installing ROMs, etc.

You can all try to defend yourselves, but in reality you don't have the time to do it right, dirty flashing is nothing more than a lazy mans way to install a ROM.

Really, an hour or more to setup a ROM ?

Never, ever has it taking me more than 15 minutes, again, I'm very impressed.

One thing I like about dirty flashers is the humour in the threads. :D:D
