don't think there is an app to find out thats based on your router compatibility what modes does it pick on.

dont you have an option to keep it auto channel and what difference would it make on phone if you are on 9 12 or 13? channels just regulate the frequency... i am in Asia and i can use nexus to hook onto 13 don't think you being in Germany should make any difference... its the router which you are using isn't broadcasting to match of nexus5.

There is no variable difference irrespective of you use 9 12 or 13 not for home purpose not at all... so suggestion would be to stick to auto channel mode or use a mode which your nexus can pick up....

dev doesn't need to start tweaking based upon different channels as they are irrelevant from a user perspective even from a developer perspective.

are you on D820 or D821?

D820 - device for US and there are chances of the device not picking up certain or all channels set for european regions.

D821 - device for global usage and will pick any or most given frequency around the world including US.

Apart from these two the US versions have compatibility with CDMA vs the Global version, now don't ask me why do they need CDMA(sprint, verizon probably)... no clue :D

​
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Wifi analyzer can show all channels, if the device can pick them up.

May be worth a minute to see what it says. In settings you can set channels to scan.

Dialer Lookup settings?

Hi,

As far as i understand this ROM contains t9 lookup of the contacts - to look for the contacts it uses digital pad instead of keyboard, am I right? And if it's so could you please clarify is it supports Cyrillic (my contacts are in cyrillic)?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] forcedmeme:
I can't reply in the thread you asked in because my post count is too low, try posting there if you want more opinions.

But I am using the 'test' variation of the kernel and it's been very good for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Command_HDX:
My N5 is D821, so it can connect to Channel 12 and 13 in my Country. With WiFi Analyzer, the N5 can only see Channels from 1 - 11

It's not a must have for me to get a Channel 12/13 WiFi connection, but I have a Girlfriend and her WiFi is configured to Channel 13...so now, I don't get a WiFi connection, if I meet her. And she can connect to her Wifi for example with an HTC M7, Samsung S3 Mini, HTC Desire HD, Acer Tablet and Notebook and I with my N5 on previous Builds.

The Reason for this Posts/the Question is: The N5 must get a Channel 12/13 connection, because these Channels are not locked in my Country/Region.

So it's a "Bug" in the ROM...I think the Region Code is the reason for this.

What would you say, if you know, you can connect to Channel 12-14 in your region, but your Device can't connect to this Channels because of a Bug in your Custom ROM? And at this Point I will ask Cl3Kener to take a look into this Issue.

Probably other Users of this ROM in my Country didn't notice that "Bug", because a Channel 12/13 WiFi Setup is very rare ;)

I know, that a Channel 12/13 connection is possible, because I'm very sure, on OptiPop 5.0.2 Base I can connect to Channel 12/13 and on Stock I definitively can connect to Channel 12/13...But I have no Build with this Base of OptiPop to verify this...Have someone one of the latest 5.0.2 Build of OptiPop and can share a link?

I can only try latest OptiPurity...but can do this only at the weekend.#

Edit: Found the "Bug": In the build.prop the Region Code is set to US, but for my Region it must be set to EU! Changed it and now I can connect and see WiFi Channel 12/13

@SacredDeviL666 What is set in your Build.prop in this line (ro.product.locale.region=xx)?

Rebooting constantly

Alright so, since updating to 5.1.1, everything worked perfectly for 2-3 days but since then whenever I'm using any app for a while, it'll eventually stop responding and then the mobile would restart.

Is there any way of finding out what is causing that ?

Kernel: ElementalX 2.11

Fwiw - I have us in that line, I am in the usa, but I can see ch 1-14, in wifi analyzer anyway.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] adomol:
Thing about Optipop on N5 is that it is such a pro rom that it could practically be used as a factory image. Everything thing works out the door, so frequent updates are really unnecessary. The only 'downside' is for all the flashaholics itching to fire up twrp... luckily I've got other devices to feed my need! :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
True about the flashaholic bit I do flash other roms when too bored but then goes out of the phone very fast and back to opti as usual. . .

Don't know if this was intended or not but Email app was removed along with AOSP Browser. Probably not a big deal for most. I use it so I lifted it from earlier build.

While we are at it :D

I read that feature requests will most likely be ignored, let's give it a shot anyway. *This ROM is very good as is, but these would make it mint IMO*.

Option to;

-Double tap the navigation bar to sleep.

-Hide carrier text on lockscreen.

-Disable power menu on lockscreen.

-Hide the alarm icon on statusbar.

Quick tiles;

-On/off switch for heads-up notifications.

-On/off switch for expanded desktop.

Oi [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]

First time I use Optipop as daily drive and... wow... really stable, fast, responsive, zero bugs and.. everything works! :D

Only two things wanna say:

1. anyway to have heads-up settings? like time to show... or don't show in some apps... is a useful feature. ;)

2. app ops with option to disable wakeup apps. notice my play services waking up more than other apps. in other roms, with this option, play services almost don't appear in BBS.

Don't know if is relevant for you or not what Im saying but.. that's it. :D

Thanks for this Rom. Good and useful features and really a light weight Rom. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] J_Whit85:
The latest build has these options. Heads-up is in sound and notification and apps ops is in the apps tab in the settings menu as well
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hooliganx:
thanks man. I saw. [emoji6]

but privacy guard doesn't have the option to uncheck wake up for apps...

Google Play Services appear all the time in BBS and battery drain a little more than before (comparing with other Roms I try).

Slim have another privacy, with this option and battery is better now.

Is there anyway to know the current volume level for headset... Because i wanna increase only my speaker volume using nexus 5 volume booster app. Can anyone help me pls..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Do it via kernel, no real need for an app.

Adjust everything in Uber config - save somewhere - dump to /etc after a wipe.

A very simple way to keep all those settings after full wipes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Traxex_:
Dt2sleep on Navigation bar would be a great feature as the status bar is not that easy to reach with one hand only.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
Use electoactive kernel. ?✌
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Traxex_:
It doesn't have that feature! I'm using it [emoji14]

I don't mean sweep to sleep by the way.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
Wats the difference anyway? Both work on navigation bar and phone will sleep.?? instead of tapping you just sweep and sleep. ?☺
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Traxex_:
You have to sweep all over the bar what only works in half the time. Double tap is much quicker and works every time.

Personal preference I'd say [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Work around is to add a power button to the bar.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
What about making navigation target as screenoff. So you dont need to sweep all over the bar.?✌
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Traxex_:
Not a bad idea too.

I did a search on this thread and I didn't come up with anything. I followed instructions in the OP and attempted to flash this, twrp version I am running is indeed 2.8.5.2 and all I get is the dots circling on startup after the Google logo. It stays like that for quite awhile. I let it go for a good half hour and nothing happened. The phone gets hot but never gets to the main screen. Anyone got any suggestions or recommendations?

Sent from my Cataclysm Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
could you update your twrp

a clean flash recommened which is a factory reset followed by advanced wipe of dalvik/cache followed by flashing rom, your choice of uber kernel, flash supersu and don't flash gapps for now. reboot and give it 10mins for the boot to complete or less than that... first boot is complete then you can go back flashing gapps from recovery...

hope you aren't flashing this as secondary rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Yea I might try updating trwp. I wanted this as my main rom. I keep a backup of my current rom just in case. Ill try it without the gapps. I wasn't sure if that was the issue or not. Thanks for the quick reply, it was driving me insane because I've done a ton of flashing and I knew something wasn't right

Sent from my Cataclysm Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ShapesBlue:
After doing exactly what you suggested it didn't work. TWRP updated. Now twrp is giving me some error and not status 7 error which I know is because its not updated to the latest recovery, see screen shot

Sent from my Cataclysm Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Have seen this so many times.

Please do this

Twrp

Mount system

Wipe - slider to factory reset

Advanced wipe - tic system - slider to wipe system

Unmount system

Flash - rom - gapps - su

Setup rom

Flash whatever else ya like

This is a proper clean flash (wish I knew how many times I've entered this same procedure!) And should get ya going.

Don't rely on the rom, any rom for that matter, to wipe system. It'll take you an extra 5 seconds - time well spent.

Oh - 5 gigs high speed data on straight talk for byod users now - don't ya love it!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Thanks for the quick reply. Same error even after following every thing step by step. I give up, I don't mind trying but there's no reason now it shouldn't flash. I hate to give up but I don't know what to do. I'm growing tired of flashing and wiping and restoring over and over again

[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
But yur screenshot says 2.8.6.0
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
2.8.6.0 (the one you used in that screenshot) caused flashing errors. 2.8.6.1 was released a day or so later which fixed the problems in 2.8.6.0.

When we update to the latest twrp, close is not good enough.

Update to the latest

.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Updated to the newest version 2.8.6.1. We shall see if things work. I tried to flash it earlier and it didn't work. Tried it again and it worked, will report back

[MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION] loving the OptiPop as all your creations :) I don't wanna request anythin, but could you look into network mode tile (2G/3G/LTE) if you find it worthwile ? It makes life much easier, switching to 2G is essential to save battery when you know you won't be using phone for few hours.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stryder5:
Just flashed this last night and am liking it quite a bit. I usually have problems sending/receiving MMS when wifi is enabled but it seems to work properly in this ROM. Solid work!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JayR_L:
Seems the newest Optipop build has an issue with downsizing the navigation bar.

Changing the "Height" settings in Optipop Tweaks indeed changes the height of the navbar, but the icons themselves remain the same size (oversized). Is that intended? Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MarcoPolo78:
+1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
are you both on stock navbar ? and what size are you setting it to
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Confirmed on all dpi (except 0, obviously).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
works fine on custom and stock navbars... :)

​
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Noticed this on another rom, but, like here, I like.

Buttons you can see at low dpi is a good thing!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JayR_L:
You contradict yourself - they are both 20dp and yet, the last one's (stock) buttons are oversize... see what I mean?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
they both are two different nav bars which has different dimensions... so the settings set on each varies... :) which is why i shared both to show it both works which wasn't the case the rest was claiming it doesn't work. :)

see the 48 of the custom and the 48 of stock? stock dimensions are bigger than the custom which i use...

that doesn't mean the option isn't working, probably you want the custom nav bar to be done on stock then recompile with a smaller stock navbar... but then again those are stock dimensions and he has left it as it is
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JayR_L:
The point was that the stock ones would resize appropriately prior to updating to the latest build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Command_HDX:
That's right, noticed the same:

The left Screenshot is from 04/24 Build, the right from 05/12 Build. Both Screenshots with Nav-Bar high at 32dpi.

The "new" Icon size is a way to large for me...the old one was perfect for me...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
the reason why i had clarified was because it was highlighted the navbars arent being resized which isn't true and as i mentioned earlier if you find the default dimensions are way big use a smaller dimension nav bar thats all :)

the icons does resize but maybe not as you wish to in comparison to a smaller dimension navbars on previous builds but they are being resized.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
I guess you could say it resizes, but it's not as it is on other roms, and it is as it is on some others. Now there's a mind fork!

I used 30 or 28 cuz the icons were still big enough to look good. Now I can use 24 and still see the icons. Personally, I like the way it is. Looks a little odd, but better than too small, as it used to be at say 24dpi.

I also think, since icons do resize when using a layer, it's a rr layer issue, or whatever you call it.

Anywho, I gots something else, maybe someone can confirm.

I use screen pinning. I'll pin my golf score app so I can just wake the device up and enter scores. Today, I couldn't unpin the app. Had to reboot to get back to normal.

I've been running another rom and hid no problem. Loaded up opti last night, used it today on the course, couldn't unpin.

Restored a nan of the other rom and all ok again.

Care to give it a shot?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
havent used that feature but sure can try... could you let me know the app you were trying to use an got this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
You won't want it, but tested with dolphin browser, g maps, g books, andmeasure (that is the name of the app, not a typo! - measures distance between 2 points via gps coordinates).

My other go to rom, I'm on it now, no problem with same apps, and more.

I do believe this is a seldom used option, but it is a pain in the arse when it happens.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Andromendous:
How come i have yet to see one single dev suggest to mount system, wipe, unmount system etc. Their instructions are what ive always followed in the OP. I would suggest others do the same
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JayR_L:
Could you point me to your custom navbar, SD666? I'd like to try it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Well, first, you're a little late to the mount/wipe/unmount party!

Had been standard procedure here since froyo, and I've mentored it more than a few times as part of a proper clean flash.

But, most, if not all, roms have code to format system before installing the os. I suppose if everything is an img, that shouldn't be needed as you're not copying files, but replacing a partition. Now, sometimes, for some reason, the format doesn't work, and now we have a problem.

Maybe some put too much faith in that code. I, for one, have seen this fail too many times to rely on it, so I do it manually.

Now, beware, you may open a can of worms with this. Some will say doing it this way is a waste of time, some will say they've never done it and never had a problem, and some will say a format is scripted into the zip so why bother. I've refused to get into it yet again for about a year now, and still refuse to.

The way I look at it - and I've said this many times - it takes 5 seconds to do - and that's 5 seconds very well spent (works out to something like .01% of the time it takes to wipe and load a rom/gapps/su).

I commend you for seeing the light. Now spread the word!
