There's documentation on building Firefox OS, I configure for nexus-4-kk with some .userconfig options (I can post them if you want)

Latest build bumps version number up to 3.0, although there's nothing new yet.
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Is there a way to take Screenshots? Softkey & Vol down doesnt seem to work.
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Could you post your .userconfig options? Would be nice to have a starting point. :) I will try to build it by myself. Maybe it's useful later to build a stable 2.2 or so. :)

greetings,

Sunny

Screenshot is Power + Vol Down, here's my .userconfig
[Nexus 4 General] suarez1907:
What is the changelog for 3.0?
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
There're no 3.0 Focus Features documented yet (none I know about, except TV support codenamed "Stingray"). You can keep an eye on https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Roadmap#Upcoming_Releases and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases

I wouldn't be surprised if this broke Nexus 4 builds ;). I'll try tomorrow anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] tjackbjorn:
I guess installing Android apps is impossible? :p
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
The latest build is really more smooth. You can feel it. And if you look at the spinner in the email app, you can see it. This thing did hang before many times now it's running smooth.

can you add hebrew as a language for the next time you build an image? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] TA123:
Will it work on MultiROM? The link in the MultiROM thread is to a different build.
[Nexus 4 General] kamikaze134x:
Yeap it work's fine, just install like normal Andoird Multirom system
[Nexus 4 General] therealsniper69:
Hi, I installed this using multirom and so far everything seems to be working.

Quick question though, on both android and ubuntu I can use the hybrid radio to get 4g/LTE. I notice with the Firefox OS that it only gets 3g and HSPA+. Is there a way to use the hybrid radio with firefox OS?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Hi all!

Installed this using MultiRom alongside CyanHacker ROM.

I must say this is very pleasant to eyes. Have to look for the apps that I use.

Thanks for this awesome work developer :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Remy.L:
Hello,

I would like to know if the rom is also a bit laggy for you, because it is not very smooth in my nexus 4 and i have some problems with applications like

pdf readers for exemple (it can take a long time to open a pdf document and sometimes if does not work).

I'm just asking that, because this problem may be caused by my kernel (Last AK kernel) or primary rom (Euphoria os)

I have to thank you for your weekly builds and the work you do. :good::good:

Thanks in advance for the answers and have a nice day.

Arabic Keyboard is Missing

Hi I'd like to thank flamingspaz for his effort to bring this ROM to us. It's a very good OS to play with :good:. The only thing that I didn't like about this ROM is that there is no Arabic keyboard to use for input. I had tried a different Firefox OS ROM from another thread before I come here. This ROM was having the option to use Arabic as an input language. Thus, I think it is only a configuration option that can turn this feature on, am I right?

Thanks again :)

What about Apps. Is their Whatsapp...???

Can we install Android apps...??
[Nexus 4 General] Csacsifiu:
I tried to install the 15-03-05 rom for the first time, but i failed. it says: "some symlinks failed".

Do i miss something? I tried flashing with the newest TWRP recovery.

SOLVED rebooted to recovery solved the problem

This build can only flash over KK version? If yes, why isn't there a description for installation?
[Nexus 4 General] Remy.L:
This build perfectly work with multirom and in dual-boot with a lollipop version (i tried with liquidsmooth and ephoria os).

You can install it with multirom like others android rom by flashing the .zip file. (You should check the multirom thread if you don't know how to do it).

It is also impossible to install android app on it (and i'm not sure that you can use what'sapp, it may be possible to find an alternative). You can see all the apps you can find in Firefox OS there :

Firefox marketplace (as i posted only a few messages on xda, i cannot post outside links)

Sorry for my english, it's not my native language
[Nexus 4 General] efraimf:
Loquim has whatsapp support
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
OpenWapp (https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/openwapp) works great for WhatsApp on FxOS.
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
This is how I did it:

Download latest Factory Image (Android 5.0.1 (LRX22C)) for Nexus 4 from:

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-lrx22c-factory-86c04af6.tgz

Flash it onto the Device:

adb reboot bootloader

cd ./occam-lrx22c

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-occam-lrx22c.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

cd ..

Download Recovery Image from:

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-mako.img

Flash it onto the Device:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-mako.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Download Firefox OS from:

https://yalam.co.uk/b2g/mako/fxos-mako-15-03-09.zip

Reboot into Recovery Mode. Then select:

install zip > install zip from sideload

Then Flash Firefox OS onto the Device:

adb sideload fxos-mako-15-03-09.zip

After sideload did finish:

go back > advanced > reboot to bootloader

Then execute:

fastboot oem lock

... and select "Start" ...

that's it. Booting Firefox OS on the Nexus 4 may take some minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] Csacsifiu:
I had a same problem with another zip. I rebooted the recovery and everything worked fine. No need to do these steps.
[Nexus 4 General] efraimf:
Firefox OS for the Nexus 4 is still built against Android 4.4.2. You didn't have any problems using 5.0.1 as a base?
[Nexus 4 General] ashahin1:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Platform/Settings_list

I saw this link today, which have "keyboard.layouts.arabic	Boolean	false" as a default configuration.

Is there a way to turn this layout to true instead of false? I tried grabbing the file settings.json from the b2g/default directory and modify it, but nothing changed.

Thank you,

ashahin1
[Nexus 4 General] like427:
Agree with this how to add Russian|Cyr language for keyboard?!
[Nexus 4 General] gfarzad:
wooow .its become very nice. its very beautiful than last firefox os and very lovly. but its slow and no smooth like ubuntu or sailfish
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
I couldn't find any good documentation on how to enable all of the keyboards but I will check again, having all keyboards and languages is important.

The Firefox OS team has almost finished porting the Nexus 5 to L base so I assume Nexus 4 will come soon after.

Configuration For Enabling Arabic

Hi [MENTION=2773542]flamingspaz[/MENTION],

Thank you for your interest in enhancing this build of Firefox OS.

I have found these configuration in the link below that another guy was using to build Firefox OS.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57448582&postcount=731

His build included the Arabic Keyboard Layout, so I think it may be helpful to you :).

Thanks again for your great work
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Latest build (15-04-15) freezes the phone totally so you have to restart it hard - from time to time.

Freezes if you:

- open a contact detail

- open the calendar settings

- ...

Tested with a fresh install (no restored profile).

reported it to Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1155607

[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
Todays build should now include all languages and keyboards.
[Nexus 4 General] ddaggebi:
Sorry about (maybe) stupid question, but does the latest build have korean language and keyboard? English is fine, but it'll be nice to use FFOS with my own language:)
[Nexus 4 General] gorilla p:
Is there Email with Exchange/Activesync support?

A couple months ago, I was going to test FFOS for a while but there was no exchange/Activesync support and I require it for work.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
It contains both Korean locale and keyboard.

Looks like the stock email app has ActiveSync support, though I've never used it.
[Nexus 4 General] ddaggebi:
Installed FFOS with Multirom without any issues:)

For anyone interested :

My rom is Cataclysm(stock based, android 5.1).

I installed multiboot with kexec-hardboot patched stock 5.1 kernel. Didn't have to change bootloader and radio(however, my radio is 0.84). Installed FFOS (secondary rom). Touch, sound, vibration, keyboard... Everything works fine.

Definately worth the shot. I like it. Thanks for this wonderful OS!
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Just saw that there's a Firefox OS forum section here: http://xdaforums.com/firefox-os

Maybe this thread fits better there than in the Nexus 4 section? Didn't know, just a thought. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] french-anonymous:
How long did you let it boot ? It can take a long time to start at the forst boot (like 10 minutes).

recommend update/reflash

Hey folks, been running this for a bit now and really like it. However i was wondering if anyone has a recommended path to update your FirefoxOS without wiping the data?
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
using: https://github.com/Mozilla-TWQA/B2G-flash-tool

python ./B2G-flash-tool/backup_restore_profile.py -b --sdcard --no-reboot
# update your FxOS install
python ./B2G-flash-tool/backup_restore_profile.py -r --sdcard
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
[MENTION=2773542]flamingspaz[/MENTION] would you consider adding these lines to .userconfig to include the 720p bootanimation? I know its 720x1280 but it looks pretty fine IMO...

export BOOTANIMATION_ASSET_SIZE=720p
export ENABLE_DEFAULT_BOOTANIMATION='true'
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
Thanks, I've added that to the builds.

I've also starting producing Spark builds, which have new features but may be unstable. I also haven't tested enabling Developer Mode on multirom so I'm not sure what the factory reset will wipe.
[Nexus 4 General] efraimf:
what's the spark image? how is it different?
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Thanks for building a spark image! Really great! :D
[Nexus 4 General] sergio_f:
I'm pleased to announce "Spark," a part of the Ignite initiative. Spark is a set of tools, customizations, and features built on top of the next generation of the Firefox OS platform. Spark has been in progress for months, but in experimental stages. Spark was formerly known as "Lightsaber."

Spark empowers users to customize their experience, hack whatever they want to, and make their devices truly theirs. We will leverage web technologies for real-time hacking, as other platforms rely on native binaries that are difficult to edit once compiled.

A small set of the really cool new features include:

"Customizer," a set of on-device developer tools for making code changes and having them persist the next time an app starts. You could write an entire app with this if you wanted to.

Add-ons for adding new functionality to existing apps.

"P2P Sharing," an app for sharing apps and add-ons with nearby people.

"Theme Editor," a studio for making changes to themes, so that you can get the look and feel that you want for your phone.

We plan to iterate rapidly on the Spark feature set. The first release is a set of basic building blocks and a framework that we will then build upon.

Should we re-name this thread to [ROM] Firefox OS

[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
Renamed thread and added instructions on enabling full devtools on multirom installs.
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
Thanks for the update. Can you confirm that enabling devtools on multirom does not wipe shared data on /data/media/0/ ? I want to play but I don't want to lose my photos or music ;)
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
It does not. In TWRP "Wipe /data" means "Wipe /data without wiping /data/media". All of my files were still there after. I've made it more clear in the OP.
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
Thanks. It's just Mozilla's notes make it look like a full factory reset will happen. Glad to hear otherwise. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] Cynofield:
Hey [MENTION=2773542]flamingspaz[/MENTION], thanks a heap for all the builds. I'm currently building (successfully, but with many things still broken) them myself.

Is it possible you can post your userconfig and possibly the commands you use to build FFOS & Spark.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
The aosp version required isn't too clear so here's what I tried.

Installed aosp 5.1.1 LMY48I

installed twrp

factory wipe in twrp

flash Aug 18 spark build

wipe cache/dalvic

reboot

enable Dev

reboot to tarp for the reset

reboot to ffos

All is working great but calls mute after a second of being unmuted. I have to keep tapping unmute. Speaker phone doesn't fix it. I thought maybe flashing 0.84 radio would help. Nope. Any ideas? Did I use the wrong aosp?
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
I have now also tried aosp 5.1 and the non-spark build from 18 August of fxos. All combinations have muting phone calls. I'm booting 5.1 back up right now to try the 10 June build to see if an older version will work. After this it will be aosp 4.4.4.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Ah ha! I tested fxos-mako-15-06-10-spark.zip with a stock aosp base of 5.1 LMY47O and calls did not mute. Sadly this means there's something wrong with the 18 Aug build in both spark and non-spark. I will now try to go back to 5.1.1 LMY48I stock and flash the last updated build prior to 18 Aug to see if calls pause to try to determine which one is the culprit!

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Ok good news. After reflashing AOSP 5.1.1 LMY48I and TWRP, wiping data, flashing fxos-mako-15-08-14-spark.zip, wiping cache, and rebooting into FxOS, I can now make calls that don't auto mute every second. Yay!

This means there is an issue making calls using both fxos-mako-15-08-18-spark.zip and fxos-mako-15-08-18.zip.

Overall this is a great build though. Thanks to the OP!
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
This was happening for all phones, fixed in the later builds.

Also to note, I'm going on vacation so the next build will be in ~2 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
Thanks for fixing that. I have now setup multirom and everything seems great. A weird thing happening is Hackerplace addons install fine but the changes don't take or show up. Any idea?
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Oh, that's sad. ;) Wish you a nice vacation!
[Nexus 4 General] italovsoares16:
Could let me know if you have any bug? Error?
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
I think it runs pretty well. I have a minor issue with addons not showing up but overall the system is very stable.
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
I see there's a new build from yesterday. I thought you were on vacation? Is it an autobuild? Is there a place that hosts a changelog?
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
THanks for the firefox built, it was a greate surprise after the boot. :good:

Is there a way to follow your build and at the same time to keep config and applications ?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
You can flash new builds over your current one without losing settings or data.
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
THanks,

I've to find the way with multirom app to do this.

Do you know what the state of the NFC under firefox OS ?
[Nexus 4 General] radbme:
I tried this with fxos as a secondary rom with multirom. No amount of wiping cache or dalvik or reflashing allowed text messages to send. It was really weird. Had to wipe data.
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Any chance to have new image of FFOX soon ?

Thanks for the work already achieved.
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
I think he's still on holiday.
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
I'm waiting, too. :D
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
I recently reinstalled Arch, so I've been a bit lazy getting my builds going again :P

I'll try and get one out later today.
[Nexus 4 General] fishears:
Well done for installing Arch. That's an achievement right there ;) I've never made it the whole way through.
[Nexus 4 General] SunboX:
Hey, great you did one! :D Thank you very much!

terminal and ssh client

I tried this build and overall I enjoyed it a lot. But I really missed access to a terminal and ssh client, and could not find those on a quick search.

Is it possible to have a terminal and ssh client on firefoxos?
[Nexus 4 General] infinity4:
Have someone seen that?

firefoxos.mozilla.community/device/LG/Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Johnny camaro:
Yes maybe some one can make a zip to flash it.

https://firefoxos.mozilla.community/devices/
[Nexus 4 General] xWolf13:
It's already a zip..
[Nexus 4 General] infinity4:
And which one is it?
[Nexus 4 General] Johnny camaro:
Really??

For me it don't work when using adb/fastboot, maybe some could fix it to flash with TWRP.
[Nexus 4 General] infinity4:
That don't work, it's not an Mutirom Image.

I think xWolf13 means the zip Files up to 29.10.2015 from the Download Site, but i think, they are not the same like the Version what we mean. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] daljitbanga:
thanks for hard work, gona flash spark build and give a go.

never been out the android os, so this will be fun.
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
Yep, we have official Mozilla builds now which is great, but they aren't CWM/TWRP flashable. I've started a thread over on the foxfooding forum to see how we can get official flashable builds. Feel free to chime in over there.

(Also, my main phone is now the foxfooding Z3C so builds will be less frequent from now on)

[Nexus 4 General] ubston:
Is this still considered pre-alpha? I've been using it, and I have to say it's GREAT! One simple thing I appreciate is how it reads the music and documents that are already on my SD (ubuntu touch and sailfish don't seem to do this).

I haven't created a mozilla account yet. But if I do, does it save a profile of the apps/addons I'm using? When I install the newest ROM, I'd love to be able to restore the apps on my device, so I don't have to start over from scratch each time. But that's usually just the nature of these things, so I'm not expecting the profile to save that info.

EDIT: To answer my question above: signing up with a mozilla account did not restore the apps and stuff. But I read the whole thread and discovered this great tip for backing up and restoring settings. It worked great! I backed up, installed the latest build, booted into it, and then restored. Everything seems cool so far.

Oh, and I didn't include --sdcard when I ran the script.
[Nexus 4 General] ubston:
Sorry, can you explain in more detail how to do this? If I flash it using multirom, it just creates a second, separate installation. How do I flash over my current one? Thanks.

EDIT: See the edit in my previous post for how I dealt with this. I still flashed a separate build, but then I restored the settings from the first one.
[Nexus 4 General] infinity4:
Which Version do you mean?

2.6 or the original from Mozilla?
[Nexus 4 General] ubston:
2.6. The original post says, "These builds are pre-alpha software. Expect bugs." But perhaps that's an old message.
[Nexus 4 General] infinity4:
I had an Bug in 2.6 from 4.11, i couldn't set the Time correct.
[Nexus 4 General] ubston:
Is anyone else having a problem sending mms pictures? I can receive them, but can't send them. From my end, it appears that they send successfully, but the person on the other end doesn't receive them.

Any tips would be appreciated.

can we flash via TWRP

Currently i am using minimal OS 6.0 i want to try it so can i directly flash it through twrp after wiping minimal OS ? what are the known bugs ?:):D
[Nexus 4 General] jamie_fxos:
you can find the list of major bugs at https:// wiki.mozilla. org/B2G/QA/ Daily_Bulletin it updates itself as it changes

right now these will constantly be changing most likely due to 2.5 just reached CC and 2.6 is now started so new features are probably soon to come and with new features come new bugs.

personally i cant wait for the feature vaani but that currently needs a lot of work before its fished from when i was doing some testing on it.

(sorry i am new to this site so i cant do links )

Firefox OS QA

Jamie Charlto
[Nexus 4 General] ubston:
This latest build seems to have broken the Hawk file manager. Could be the app's fault, of course. And all the other file managers are barely functioning!

[MENTION=7115034]jamie_fxos[/MENTION] What's the best way to leave OS feedback? BuddyUp is sort of cool, but it's not great for discussions. I'm surprised by how difficult it is to locate an active community. The foxfooders seem active, but we don't count as foxfooders, right?
[Nexus 4 General] flamingspaz:
You definitely do count as foxfooders, and I encourage you to head over to the foxfooding forum to give feedback.

They're "pre-alpha" as in the builds are from the master branch so they don't get as much QA (like Firefox stable vs Firefox Nightly). It's still pretty stable but it won't be perfect.
