Hi!

A message from Benfrancis after the B2G weekly meeting:

The notes for this week's B2G meeting are on the wiki

Highlights include that the homescreen is now showing pinned sites on boot and it

looks like we have a more solid plan for our build and test infrastructure going forward :slightly_smiling:

There are lots of individual B2G community working group meetings coming up this week, check the public calendar for timing.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

As you can see, nightlies are not post anymore.

I do not stop builds, it is an issue.

I tried to fix it for weeks but can't find solution...

As "official" Firefox OS is at end of its life, it seems useless to continue to fix it.

We will wait for B2G community version and build it for Nexus 5 if it is possible.

2.6 version is out, but there is same issue as nightly.

Script is still launch everyday, 2.6 and nightly will be post if I find solution.

Even so, here is a good news :

Thanks to [MENTION=5359018]vandyswa[/MENTION], we have an American mirror ! => https://ffos-usa.vosky.fr

Files are EXACTLY the sames as ffos.vosky.fr.

This website is here to improve bandwidth for American users.

You can also use it as backup website, if mine is dead.

But please don't use it too much because he have 4 TB/month limitation.

He give to us 2TB/month.

After this quota, I will disable the subdomain until the end of the month.

So big thank to [MENTION=5359018]vandyswa[/MENTION] ! :good::good::good:

Summary of what interest us from the last weekly B2G OS transition branch meeting that occur today :

Only a couple more bugs blocking the merge of pine into mozilla-central, hoping to land them today

Smartphone: Dialer can now make/receive calls. Need a new mechanism to wake it up when a call comes in.

The last B2G OS Transition meeting will take place on Thursday the 9th, at 17:30 UTC in the B2G Vidyo room: http://j.mp/K03h7e, on the B2G OS telegram group: https://telegram.me/B2GOS1 or #fxos IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org.

B2GOS Transition Project is on going. The build is broken now for every device maybe except for Flame.

I think we have to wait for a while.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hello,

I have some good news.

Firstly, we added v2.6.

We now have all Mozilla versions from 1.4 to v2.6 !

Secondly, I am working with [MENTION=6828093]danielrocher[/MENTION] to build nightly B2GOS !

Accurately, he made all the work and sent me a howto.

I just translate it into script language.

So if in few days you see new nightly builds on ffos.vosky.fr, please spam his thanks button, he deserves it.

But B2GOS nithly builds need lot of modifications, it would be hard to maintain Mozilla's versions and B2GOS.

This is why I will build all Mozilla versions one last time tomorrow then switch to B2GOS.

So don't worry if there is no builds next week(s), we are not dead.

I did not receive news from [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] for few weeks but I am mostly sure he is still alive.

If you want to test B2GOS now on Nexus 5, [MENTION=6828093]danielrocher[/MENTION] uploaded his build here : https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/test-b2gos-on-nexus-5/9405
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danielrocher:
Thank you especially to you, your script inspired me a lot :)

to talk about B2G and Nexus 5, that discussion is open : test-b2gos-on-nexus-5 on discourse.mozilla-community.org (it's not possible for me to post a link here ...)

There is also a "blobfree" version for the Nexus 5 (see link).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
o/ I'm not dead...yet! :)

I don't have a lot stuff to share, excepted this: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/test-b2gos-on-nexus-5/9405, which can interested you [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
You're awesome guys!

I'll try the B2GOS as a secondary ROM with Multirom soon.

Otherwise, I have a question for my main build. I have an old Test Build (based on 2.5 I guess, with Dogfood* and Spark), do you think it will work to update to the 2.6 to come back to the stable path? And some day, hoping updating to B2GOS when it will be stable also...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ekril:
how come we have nightly builds?

is it now B2GOS ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hello,

Yes, we are now on B2GOS.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ekril:
i tried the day i asked the question, i saw that we no more have marketplace. how do we install apps? if we can?

also really thanks for your efforts.

really :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Thanks for your support. :)

As Marketplace belong to Mozilla, like "Firefox", I think community do not have right to use it.

So for now you can't install apps.

You can only add bookmarks on your homepage for now.

As Firefox OS apps was web apps, it is mostly the same.

9/2 nightly B2G build?

Hi,

Have been cycling test bits through my phone, so had a chance to load the nightly fastboot onto my Nexus 5.

It does the space ship animation, then freezes. Anybody with better luck on that or any particular earlier build?

This was the 9/2 fastboot bits.

I grabbed the last great 2.6, and that installs and runs just fine. I forgot what a tidy little OS it is! Happily,

Mozilla still lets me install from their Marketplace, so I was able to set it up fully.

Looking forward to B2G getting back on its feet. Yesterday my Android phone interrupted me with Google

saying they noticed I was at a particular cafe and they wanted me to take a picture of it for them. Bleh.

Andy
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vandyswa:
In case anybody is wondering, 2.6 final build from the great Vosky is mostly functional. Biggest hit is that landscape is broken.

Alarms, which would not ring until you turned on the screen, now do not sound even when you turn on the screen. It reboots

every once in a while (say, every other day), but feels like it's not far from being an actual daily driver.

Obviously, 2.6 is history. But it gives us some starting points if B2G is ever going to get back on its legs.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pthompson:
[MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION]: Thanks for providing the images for Nexus 5 on your site! Did I missunderstood you because I interpreted "Builds and FOTA are made :" that there will be new images/updates every week? I installed Aurora at my device.

Many thanks in advance!

Peter
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hello !

Few months ago there were builds every weeks.

But since the only maintained branch is nightly(master) with B2G OS, I stopped to build others versions.

I will remove the "Builds and FOTA are made" section.

And sorry for late reply. :o
[Nexus 5 Android Development] prithvi999:
is it stable??

Hi, is it stable enuf to use as a daily rom n not as part of multirom?? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Android Development] philipped346:
hello , the most easy is to download the zip recovery (v2.1 or nigthlies) and instal in first rom with your recovery or with multirom to test;)

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

for me yes but there is no camera working and 4g :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Vosky and thank you and congrat for your work!

I try to flash your rom 2.1 in recovery mode and I have this message:

Do you know what happen, what did I do?

[MENTION=2690854]philipped346[/MENTION]:

yes, camera API is broken on Nexus 5: see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992842

If someone could solve this one, I would REALLY appreciate A LOT!

4G normally works on 2.2 version :)

Another bonus question: Vosky, how did you do to build a rom flashable via recovery?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Do you have the same message with another build ?

I didn't try my builds for 3 weeks...

Building firefox os is really easy if you have time and ressources.

I followed the official guide.

When the build is done, you have *.img files I compress in fastboot packages.

You have also system and data folders I package with [MENTION=2690854]philipped346[/MENTION] META-INF for recovery flashable zip.

Then I sign flashable zip with signapk.jar.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Vosky,

Yes indeed, FirefoxOS rom aren't difficult to build. To be honest, I had wanted to build for others until I saw your topic :).

The only one thing that annoyed me was the rom.zip creation. Thanks to the french Mozilla community (you are french, right?), I found this

It should create directy a complete and flashable .zip rom without tricks. I tried it, it create indeed a .zip rom, but I think I have problems with my phone, I can't flash neither my zip rom nor yours :(....

Maybe you could try it, and give me the result it could be very usefull... ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
I just tried the latest nightly (2015-01-07) with multirom and it work...

What is your recovery ?

Did you try to flash with fastboot instead ?

(and yes, I'm french ;))
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
So this command works to create a complete FFOS rom for android new comer, it's good!

I use cwd 6.0.4.5, I also thought it would be a good idea to upgrade it, but it's the last version :(

Yeah, I use fastboot to flash my system with my build. I tried to flash with your rom but I had a black screen on boot, I think I have to flash userdata too, but I would lost all my datas :(.

I'll do it, but not now.

If you are interested you can join us (others FFOS rom makers, users and developpers too... ;) ) at #frenchmoz, irc.mozilla.org. We would share our skills on FFOS building: even it's not difficult, I bet there is a lot to share.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] blmvxer:
Does CDMA work?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
I don't know, I don't have CDMA provider. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] LeJolly:
What's the difference between nightly and pre-release? The latter is bigger in size?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Nightlies are the most up to date versions and have not yet version number.

Pre-release are "beta" versions.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] demigo:
Am i the only one who thinks that Vosky isn't getting enough credit that he deserves.

Dear users of this ROM, Vosky is doing a great work. Don't just keep requesting for features or ask him questions all the time. Just take your time to hit that thanks button if you appreciate his work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Thank you.:o

New builds since 01/14 (14/01 on the website) are bigger because I added new languages.

Thanks to [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] for his scripts.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MidnightDevil:
First of all, thanks for bringing us Firefox nightlies!

Now, my question, did anyone tried flashing the recovery versions? Do they work?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
I tried the 2015-01-11 build and it worked.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] demigo:
i use multirom and have todays build (15-01-2015) working perfectly fine. i haven't tried to flash this rom as a primary, so i dont know about that. but if you are using multirom recovery, u can flash it as a secondary rom and it will work like a charm. ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jacomail95:
Sorry for OT, i wonder if the developer is interested in also continuing the Nexus 4 FFOS project, when he has time. Our builds are working well, all functioning, but old

Damn, you are fast!

Thanks A LOT.

(I will have new suggestion sooon ;))
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Each device and version require lot of ressources (CPU + HDD + bandwidth)...

About 20GB/branch of source code (download + compile).

So I only compile builds for my devices.

I you have fix for camera issue it would be great. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hé hé, I am not a developper, just a contributor. But I agree with you, can't wait this issue would be solved.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Thanks [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] for your great work. Just flashed latest night build from 17.01.2015 and I found 2 bugs:

1. The time in Setting page is wrong. My time here was 7:07 AM and FFOS shows 12:27. Please look at mt screenshots bellow.

2. The Home page is full of some unknown weird shortcuts/files with strange names. Also please look at my screenshots.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Thanks, I added the first bug in the "What doesn't work" list.

I am not developer, I just share builds.

I can only fix bug if I found a patch on forums (or someone send me).

Your second issue is not a bug :

Builds are developer versions, so the weird apps are developer tools.

You have the same kind of apps on Android if you build the code without change anything.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi cimbrum,

Thank you to report bugs, but I'm affraid there are no FFOS developpers here. So please reports all bugs on bugzilla.

Please precise the device, the branch (nightly (2.2) or aurora ( 2.1)) and the commit Git (available in setting-> More info). Your pictures are good.

The first one is really a bug, the 2nd, indeed, isn't.

Thanks for theirs contributions to all bugs reporters ;).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Thanks for your answer. I've no experience with reporting bugs so please can you do it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Seems like a good time to start no? :) just check the website and fill up what you can, you already did a good job reporting the way you did.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Marsou77:
Hello, I'm new here.

I flashed FFOS like a secondary ROM with Multirom but i'm stuck at the Google boot screen.

What I have to do ?

My main ROM is the lastest Lollipop Cataclysm.

Thank you :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
You should try another build.

They are made automatically with the latest commits, there may be error(s).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Marsou77:
It's na issue with the META-INF folder and associate which prevent the ROM to boot with multirom. I've changed it and it works now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Can you share your fix for other users ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Marsou77:
Yes of course !

Thanks to [MENTION=5601774]Shiestie[/MENTION] who provides me a fixed build.

So you have to :

Unzip your flashable firefox zip (1)

Unzip FIX(DoNotFlash).zip (2)

Replace the META-INF folder from (1) with the one in (2)

Rezip your firefox ROM

Flash
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Thanks, your fix will be include in next builds. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Hi

Will the camera ever be fixed?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Nexus 5 is a T3 device, it is the lowest priority level for Mozilla's developers.

I added 2 new prerelease builds : 2.1s and 2.2.

Don't ask me the difference between 2.1 and 2.1s :confused:

The new version of nightly builds is 3.0.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Thanks for the answer I will this very low on my list of ROMs to ever try.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Vosky,

2.1s, "s" is for Stingray.

It's useless for a device like Nexus 5 ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

There are some news since I added 2.2 prerelease.

As [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] said, 2.1"s" is for smartTV so it is useless for Nexus 5 : I removed it.

There is no more "weird shortcuts" pointed by [MENTION=4220534]cimbrum[/MENTION].

With [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] we added FOTA updates ! :D

Your phone will download and flash new builds like CyanogenMod roms.

But it work if Firefox OS is your only rom (no multirom support).

We tested it with clockworkmod, it may fail with other recovery.

Thank to dattaz for his how to and Lixxys for his help on IRC.

Now we work ( [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] and me) on fixing camera issue. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Yep great news yeah!?!

Seriously guys, push on "Thanks" button for Vosky, because he did a great job! See around, there are no FFOS rom more complete than this one for Nexus5, and I doubt there are a lot better on others phones :) (excepted for ZTE Open C, of course, it was our development model...).

For the others rom makers who want to know how we proceed, please refer to the previous post by Vosky, and on his Home page, all is describe here. Feel free to ask too if you have any questions, I'll do my best to help you. We are working as close as possible to Mozilla community to provide the best rom we can, so enjoy!

So yeah, now, you can choose, with this rom, the FFOS version you want.

To reminder, here are their descriptions:

-Nightly rom: atm 3.0 version. This version is build EVERY days. This is the branch dev version. Possibly hightly instable. Not really recommended to be daily used, but hey, it's not forbidden, above all if you want to report bugs ;).

-Aurora rom: atm 2.2 version. This version is build every weeks. This version should be more stable than Nightly, and it includes progressively the news features coming from nightly version, but later...

-Beta rom: atm 2.1 version. This version is build every weeks. This should be the more stable version, close to be commercialy released.

And yes, as Vosky said, stay tuned guys, be sure camera will come soon, it's already fixed in upstream ;). It's a matter of time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] philipped346:
Hello [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] [MENTION=4660694]eyome[/MENTION] , hope that you fix camera very soon . :D

Here is our test build with lollipop base, including camera fix and [MENTION=2690854]philipped346[/MENTION] META-INF : ffos.vosky.fr/builds/ffos-test-lollipop-hammerhead-recovery.zip

It is not in builds list because FOTA are not yet available.

We are working on it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] wishmasterf:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
I edit the META-INF script. It should work better.

You may need to update your bootloader and radio.

The link is the same : ffos.vosky.fr/builds/ffos-test-lollipop-hammerhead-recovery.zip
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mchlbenner:
You can only use Firefox apps with this right?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Not really, you can use all web-apps, Mozilla market is just a showcase of web-apps.

For FireoxOS, all website are potentially some applications.

But you can't use .apk if it was your question :).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Yes, if you want to install Android apps of Firefox OS, I have a bad news for you...

You can only install apps on Firefox Market and add shortcuts to websites.

EDIT : Oops, too late.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hé hé hé, first one :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] !n0x:
Just flashed the build here! Besides those in changelog in OP, what things do I have to keep in mind (bugs, etc)?

Also, OT: how do you transfer/backup SMS from Firefox OS to Android? :D

EDIT: battery seems to drain quickly :(

EDIT2: Still no setting for Notification LED, though screen lights up, so that's good. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
There is a bug with FOTA on lollipop builds and it seems hard to fix.

We had to choose between stay in kitkat-base with FOTA or upgrade to lollipop-base with camera and MTP support but without FOTA.

And we chose lollipop for nightlies and v2.2 builds since 03/12/2015.

FOTA are not really necessary as long as you can download recovery builds on your phone then flash it in recovery.

There are still FOTA for v2.1 because lollipop is not available for this version.

EDIT : FOTA will be automatically enabled when the bug will be fixed.

Hi everyone, a new aurora build is out.

Some bugs are corrected (for example, pin code is now ask after switching back from fly mode).

Fota bug is work in progress.

Don't know if it's me or not, but FFOS on Nexus 5 seems more reactive at each build :).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] philipped346:
yes aurora work fine now but the last nigthly bug .
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Didn't try nightly, what is the bug?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Something weird, with the last aurora build, I can't fully charge my N5 if I am not in fly mode or if my phone isn't shutdown.

Does someone else has this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

I have nightly 04/25 and my N5 charged from 10% to 100% with Wi-Fi and H+ connected...

Can you install the latest Aurora ?
