just a simple question:

encrypted phones are more secure then normal one, right?

I just ask, because I will be promoted and have to make my phone more secure because of important client informations.

even my sdcard needs to be made as safe as possible.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Garry_:
yeah I know , tried it once and my phone was stuck in boot loop.

well, I have 2 days off now and can read around where and what might have gone wrong, before trying it again.

ofc I need to make backup first.

might flash marshmallow to make phone totally clean and to update boot loader and radio.

BTW yank,

will there 1st be a stable slim LP ROM and then slim6?!?

or are you guys workin on slimLP and slim6 simultaneously?!?

Sent from my Nexus 6 running latest SlimRom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
I'm not Yank but I can say the rom is pretty stable right now.

It's not labeled as official nor stable as SlimLP is not labeled as stable but it could be used as daily driver without problem ;)

Personal opinion: remove root if you look for secure device. Too much malwares find a way to exploit it if it's present.

[MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION] tried test build and kernel.. The interactive based governors made the game unplayable. It was crazy jerky.. I tried on demand and that was much better, but even with loads of governor tweaks, it wasn't fluid.

I went back to elementalx 3.. I've set that as on-demand and its acting a little better than the default governor, but still not perfect.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yank555:
A backup of everthing, incl. data on internal SD (like nandroid !), they are 'at risk' if sth goes wrong...

As for safety, well, encrypted is better, and all data in the phone will be, internal SD as well.

Root can be a cause of issues of course as said above.

As for SlimLP final vs. Slim6 ... anything can happen, both is being worked on LOL

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
I've never used stock on this device..maybe if I get time.I will check..it always used to be fine on slim.

Another thing I've noticed is it doesnt seem to want to stream videos without constantly buffering, or load Facebook / tapatalk very fast on WiFi or mobile data. Wonder if that's related, since my game is also online?.. Speed test comes out fine, but YouTube want quality at lowest setting otherwise just buffers constantly. Again, all this used to be fine :(

Edit, mind you that's intermittent.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yank555:
Youtube buffers ?? Not on my end... well never had an issue with it tbh.

WiFi

LTE

Both started right away, and no issue with buffering as you can see (on WiFi and LTE).

Or did I misunderstand the buffering issue ?

Thx for update. Will flash it later and report back.

Is it a normal behavior that TWRP doesnt work smooth when you have encrypted your phone?

Dont know if its kernel sided or TWRP.

my problems are:

1. after entering code to gain access to sdcard, TWRP needs a bit time to load the settings/theme

2. i can't reboot phone the normal way. whenever i hit reboot to system, recovery, bootloader... i need to hold power button to turn phone off and then start phone up.

using latest twrp and ofc stock slim kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
I have no specific theme for TWRP but I don't have any issue either. No weird loading time and reboot works fine.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well kernel (as in the rom kernel or boot partition) does not come into play on most devices when booting recovery.

Recoveries are (except on few devices, never had one of them) own "bootable" partitions (recovery partition) containg their own kernel.

I think it'll be worth to also ask in a twrp thread.

I don't encrypt my device, so can't comment personally :(

I'm currently preparing my phone to flash latest build - this time a clean flash.

When I'm done flashing and setting up phone, I will test a bit around. I have allready a few ideas why my recovery is a bit messed up.

Might take a while until I find the problem or not. ^^

But looking at the performance of my phone, i dont feel a difference between encrypted and decrypted setup.

Only the booting take a bit longer.

Sent from my Nexus 6 running latest SlimRom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well SlimLP is heading towards a "stable" labeled release, although most effort is going into the bringup of Slim6, so this advances slowly.

There is no more split between Nexus and non Nexus since 5.1.x, that's why Nexus devices aren't up like the day Google dropped the sources ... Other ROMs just build on AOSP, which is way faster, but not usable for other devices, Slim tries to have one single base for all devices.

Slim6 HH and shamu are mostly ready to get going (kernel / vendor), device will have to be done still once core is ready.

JP.

EDIT :

If someone has the possibility to test this AOSP build to validate everything's working, including wifi calling / volte, that would be a big help to validate the vendor stuff : AOSP-shamu-6.0-MRA58K-20151031.zip
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Garry_:

Radio is the firmware, ROM has RIL (Radio interface layer), Slim uses CAF, that's different from AOSP and as it looks, will need some love to work...

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
So you have radio and RIL (source and binaries) for mm6 from AOSP and you need to tweak it to be compatible with CAF branch. And you're the guy who did this, right? Or just building the rom with your own custom kernel?

The build is uploading (52% atm) ... but it's a bringup build, which means it's pure stock atm, I've just finished doing the device repo on the 9th, vendor and kernel have been read for quite a bit longer.

Slim6 Bringup - First public alpha

OK, so shamu is finally up as well on Slim6 ... ROM's still "naked", and sources in need of stuff from gerrit to build, and possibly here and there things not working to be expected.

The build was done on novembre 9th, unfortunately I only today had the time to actually test it and I didn't want to share it untested, esp. given it might just not have booted, the first didn't boot, this one (second) boots up fine :D

Now all of a sudden I started getting random reboots. This is strange. I haven't changed anything since last night. I'm thinking about two possible causes:

1) franco.Kernel: I flashed it last night right after flashing your 11/14 build because I wasn't sure if the included kernek has Chainfire's ramdisk changes (not the systemless one). Root is working fine but maybe FK is causing trouble.

2) There are tons of options in Settings>Cellular networks>Preferred network type I've never seen before. I set it to Global because that's the only option that showed LTE symbol in the carrier icon (status bar). Maybe this is causing trouble?

Those are the only two things I can think of causing these new random reboots. Oh and something strange happens when the soft reboots happen: when the device boots it shows the dialog that appears after you receive a missing call. Maybe the dialer is also causing problems?

Logs here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozdv84i1ywrwfch/logs111515.zip?dl=0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yank555:
Problem is, kernel comes with its own ramfs, that can be an issue indeed, as I don't know what ramfs he includes... and ramfs can actually be pretty important.

Chainfire's ramfs changes are not (or not yet at least) included ... will try to at least for the time being add it next time I get to it.

Is it a full or hot reboot ? Will have a look at logcat...

Edit :

It's a userspace induced reboot, as it looks caused by selinux issues, that means likely ramfs issue :(

As Android versions go up, SELinux will be more and more a reason to be careful when changing kernels :(

Even if I used to not say that when I only made kernels, but being active on the ROM side and with increased security in Android ... Best is to use anykernel.

Thanks for looking into the logs. This is what I'll do: I'll clean flash this new build you posted a few hours ago and use Chainfire's own boot.img which should be fine, in theory, as it's close to stock. Let's see how it goes...
