Thank you for your feedback.

Regarding the sms/mms backup, I found feature request on Bugzilla, so please, vote for it ;).

For laucher, I guess there will be options and others launchers in the futur (thanks to "apps" and "add-ons" on Hackerplace).

And for icons on bottom of the notification, yes, it is a bug :)

[MENTION=6529645]Thatoo[/MENTION], all your missed features are on bugzilla features request list :) (or nearly). I hope you voted for them! ;).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I voted for carddav but I didn't find the bug about changing the icon neither the one about the localization button in notification.

EDIT:

I voted for similar bug. Thank you [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] to introduce me this vote system for bugs and features.

How do we quit the customizer mode? My homescreen is cut in half...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

We did some changes in nightlies builds.

Most of builds with Spark don't boot, even if I tried some small fixes.

So since 07/25, nightlies don't include Spark anymore.

But I added a "test build" at the bottom of the page.

It's a nightly build with Spark.

This build will be updated each week, like pre-releases.

FOTA are not enabled for this test build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MintChipMadness:
Thank you Vosky. I just flashed the fastboot 7/25 nightly build and it appears to be working perfectly. I am going to stay away from spark until it gets a bit more stable.

I would also like to address your polling question here as well. I use firefoxOS as my only operating system. I believe all the main issues I have with the OS are already bugs (CardDAV, Userdata backup, Owncloud, OpenVPN, Encryption, Open Source Map App, etc) and I voted on them. One thing I would like to see included in the list to vote, is a native file manager. Lastly, the application choices are very limited, but. I think Mozilla's choice of using android apps as a bridge is a good idea to fix that. By doing so they will attract more users to the operating system and, as result, more developers.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] milanmania2004:
i flashed the 27/7 nightly, everything runs well except the vibration on HOME button really annoyed me. will continue use as primary ROM for a week then decide whether can get used to the OS.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi everyone,

There have been no new roms since 8/10/2015 because we hve encountered some troubles during the builds.
[MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] created a bug report for this.

We will keep you in touch when this problem is solved.

PS: The last Spark rom is functionnal expected there are names buttons on the buttons :D.

Excepted this, all is ok.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Some news about add-ons available on Spark :)

I hugely advice you to try Homebar-Plus-Rotate. This add-on adds a kill button on the left side to the Home button and a button to let you see all apps opened on his right side.

This add-on has been updated recently, and update isn't automatic (I don't know why...). So delete it and reinstall it if you want the last version (this version fix the bug in the landscape position).

Live Clock Icon change Clock icon to animated button. Totally useless so totally indispensable.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I come on the forum for a problem but first, I'm happy to read your good news [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION]. So it is possible to flash the last spark rom from Vosky (08/10/2015 - 2:15:42) with recovery, right?

As I said, I came initialy because I have a quiet annoying problem.

For reminder, I have MultiROM with Android 5.1 and FFOS 2.5 Spark (build from 2015-07-08).

Except the camera freezing time to time, it was ok.

4G was working in Saudi Arabia. 3G was working in Jordan.

I've just arrived in Iran and I can't understand what is going on.

On Android, everything is fine!

With FFOS,

- if I connect by wifi to my friend's phone (share connection of his Irancell SIM card), everything works.

- if I switch on 4G, I can share wifi and his phone or my computer can connect to internet, the email app on my phone works perfectly fine but, and there is the problem, the browser, and no other app can't access internet. So except for email, my phone with FFOS is useless right now.

Do you have any idea how to solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Thatoo,

Yes indeed, you can flash the last Spark rom. Except the icon problem, all goes good.

Your problem is indeed very strange, could you try with the last rom please?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

Yes, you can upgrade FFOS with recovery build.

This issue is really stange...

Did you try to set "Automatic (All)" in mobile parameters (no "Automatic (4G/3G/2G)) ?

If it doesn't help, you should open bug report : bugzilla.mozilla.org
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
"Except the icon problem, all goes good"

What is the icon problem?

I'll download the last flash as soon as I found a good internet connection.

If I put "Automatic (all)" it has always come back to "Automatic (LTE/WCDMA/GSM)" and I've just tried and it did again.

I already reported my bug.

When I update the ROM, I'll tell you what happen.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] patilsangu:
I think that problem is due to the access point..

Try to change the access point in settings> mobile network> access point

Even I also had faced same problem wat you described.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Here the problem

It happens on few apps like "messages" and the notifications panels
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
you use my second contribution too... Framapic, LOL, you make me so proud eyoome :) (but this one, I didn't code anything, I really just copy/paste to make it available to hackerplace).

And it happens all the time or just time to time? Restarting might solve the problem? or is it a definitive problem for this ROM (not that it will stop me to flash it, but just to know and i won't ask the question later :)

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

I thought about it (even though if it was the case, email should not work) but the problem is that I don't have choices.

In "Data", I have one, Irancell-GPRS

in "Messages", I have one, Irancelle-MMS

in "A-GPS", I have one, Irancell-GPRS

and no choices at all in "Modem" and "IMS".

So I don't know what changement I could make. If I click on Irancell-GPRS, there are some field full some empty but I don't know what to do at all.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
:D, Framapic is available on Hackerplace? I have only a shortcut from the web site.

Yes, it happens all the time, the only things really annoying is for the notification panel though.

Some explanations about Hackerplace, Marketplace and Developer Mode by [MENTION=6888844]mikehenrty[/MENTION], a developer working on Hackerplace: here
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I solved my problem. I had to find someone who can read persian to download the Irancell APN config from their server because I guess the one coming from the SIM card was not ok. I wonder why it was working on the Android ROM...?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Ah yes... the APN...

You will find here the last Gaia meeting.

It talks about the new format for Firefox OS addons, the Red Square smart feature phone and the new new homescreen!

So if you made some add-ons, take care of the new format!

This is the work of [MENTION=6888844]mikehenrty[/MENTION], so I guess he would let me to say "if you have any questions, requests... feel free to ask him :)"
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I'd like to add a feature that I would love to see in FFOS. Actually, I need it badly here in Iran... VPN!

Do you know if something is coming on this subject during the coming month?

I can't access the wiki of Mozilla for example... (don't ask me why, their government have their reason...).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
All I can say is...you are not alone (don't know it you can see this page, from bugzilla...)

This feature is the 2nd most voted features.

I don't know if someone is working on it or if there are any plans in the future, sorry.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
Incredible, they open my internet line in just 48h! So now, I can download the new ROM. The last one is from the 10th. I'll wait for the next spark ROM to update then.

Now, I'm focusing on solving the VPN problem. I'm going to look for a tomato or dd-wrt router but VPN providers are quiet expensive. 4$/month (in top of internet package...) is a lot for me. Do you know a cheap reliable one?

I'll try to help on the persian keyboard and when I'll know enough persian, with the help of my friend, we'll work on persian translation of FFOS. What an exciting year coming!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Good news :

Thanks to mwu from Mozilla, builds are back on Nexus 5 !

We reduced the number of building threads and it seems to work now.

Building process will just be slower.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
The last 2.5 build is out!

And it's a good news because it seems work really well. It's smooth and the icons bugs in the panel notification is gone (ouf...)

BUT, there is a but... There is a new add-ons system, which means all the add-ons already done are obsoletes and need a rework...

So, I miss Homebar-plus, Quick Brightness and Live Clock Icon! :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Here the new how to do a Firefox OS add-ons
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
Great!!!!

That's an awesome news.

I guess add-ons will be back soon. I'll try to work on Homebar-plus again if Michael needs help (I'm pretty sure he doesn't have much time).

[MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] : I have a special request. Could you check the two layers I have done for Persian keyboard (I'm speaking about it in this bug, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1033185 ), and if it's ok and not too much work, add them to your next build for me to try them please? (could you remake a special "08/31/2015 spark Persian special " build for me?). Just once, then, when I'll have my friends and teachers try them (and decide what is satisfying), I'll see how to add it officially.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
It will be built tonight. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
[MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION], you are awesome!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Koogly:
So this is my first tussle with Firefox OS.. and honestly i really like it.. the bugs i encountered yet include

1. wifi hotspot not working

2. camera app becoming unresponsive..

i will be making a video for this soon.. i would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction for what i should look in this ROM..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Happy you like it,

Regarding your issue, it's weird because all these features should work.

Which rom did you try? 2.1 I guess?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Koogly:
I am on the latest nightly...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
@ Koogly, It's weird, I use the last 2.5 rom (which is 3.0 derivated) without these problems, at least for camera. I can't test the wifi hotspot.

It's the nightly game I guess :).

You may give a shot on 2.2 rom if you want.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I updated to the last spark, the 09/03/2015 and it works like a charm! The camera is working just great (it was my only problem on the last build I had).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I've discovered a problem this morning.

The clock display one hour earlier. The alarm wake me up at the good time but the phone showed one hour earlier... quiet surprising I can say. If I go in setting and I change manually, when I click to change the time, the setting are at the good time, but when I click OK, the phone show one hour earlier... If I let adjust automatic, same result. If I change my time zone, I can display the good time, but then, setting are one hour forward... so in this case, tomorrow, I'll be awaken by my alarm one hour earlier even though the phone will show the good time LOL. [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION], I can't find the persian keyboard. I sent you a private message. Did you add them?

I miiiiisssss my add-on!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
[MENTION=6529645]Thatoo[/MENTION], yeah, it seems there are problems with alarms.

Anyway, the last 2.5 is out, BUT, sms app doesn't work so....

It's a pity, the overall seems good...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
The next one will be the good one :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Who knows :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
A new spark build this night, the 09/12/2015, is everything ok? SMS? Alarm? Shortcut setting display?

And last question, are my testing persian keyboard included. There should be two,

10 فارسی

and

11 فارسی

mersi (Thank you in persian),

Thatoo
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Thatoo,

The last 2.5 rom is a good one :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

We made some changes on the build system.

Now we support stables releases (v1.4 and v2.0).

Next build of each versions will be done and uploaded in one shot for test them.

Then we will continue to upload nightly and one other version everyday :

Test (Spark) : Monday

v1.4 : Tuesday

v2.0 : Wednesday

v2.1 (Beta) : Wednesday

v2.2 (Aurora) : Friday

We will continue in this way for next 2 or 3 weeks then we will adjust builds dates of stables release (maybe once per month).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

We edited a Calc where you can see what work/not work with on each version.

Feel free to complete/update it. ;)

Someone have NFC device to test Firefox OS compatibility ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
NFC is working!!!!!!!! with the spark build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
A new spark build this night came, the 09/21/2015,. Is everything ok?

SMS? Alarm? Shortcut setting display?

Is the recovery flashing system works for this build? (I don't know flashboot).

Are my testing persian keyboard included. There should be two,

10 فارسی

and

11 فارسی

mersi (Thank you in persian, for Vosky, it's coming directly from "merci"),

Thatoo
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Latest nightly is bigger because I made some changes in userconfig :

- DOGFOOD : enable user feedback

- GAIA_OPTIMIZE : optimize javascript

- MOZILLA_OFFICIAL : build official version of Firefox web browser

It will be applyed to others versions.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi everyone,

I tried the last 2.5 version and it works fine so far.

Some little bugs are there, but nothing so important for what I saw: Hackerplace doens't start correctly if you have the new homescreen, you can't change wallpaper or coming back to the "old" homescreen.
[MENTION=6529645]Thatoo[/MENTION], I have the pleasure to tell you that your keyboard are included, both of them, so enjoy.

A new app is also preinstalled: Mozspeech, I let you discover what is it, but it's quiet buggy yet for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
Thank you [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION], always present to give a hand and precious information.

They work, indeed, and I've already made my friends and teacher try them. I have many feedback that will help me to improve one of the two (most probably the 11 letters one) to make the final Persian keyboard. I'll work then on the lexicon.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Nice!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
[MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] said me that "dogfood" option also send your usage of Firefox OS to Mozilla.

Some of you may do not want to send your informations.

So this option will only be activated on Test build (Spark).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
What is dogfood?

Do you have a feeling that the battery life increase with the last spark build?

I do. I didn't need to charge it every night these last days.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adfad666:
Hi,

I got a big warning about using MOZILLA_OFFICIAL in my FXP builds for Xperia devices, I think you should remove it to be safe from crazy Mozilla legal team.

You are very welcome to use my unofficial branding that I created to solve the problem of boring branding. just cherry-pick the gonk-misc and gaia patches found on this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034832
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Thanks for warn us. :good:

Next builds will not have "MOZILLA_OFFICIAL" config.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi everyone,

long time without news doesn't mean there isn't :)

Let me summuarized, (and sorry, I guess I will forget some stuffs):

- a new theme for community roms: "Foxfood community Edition" done by [MENTION=4193352]adfad666[/MENTION] and adopted upstream for all community roms: a new boot animation, a new splash screen, a new icon for browser app (\o/)

- a new "app" installed by default: "Foxfooding" which is in fact a link to this web site: https://foxfooding.github.io/ to see what's new about OTA, community roms (so Foxfood roms) and more...

- add-ons are now available on Marketplace \o/: I advice you "Quick Setting Advancement", it gives more shortcuts from the notification panel and, above all...flashlight! WHICH WORKS! Finally... :D

- a new Homescreen: now, searchbar is always available and we have 2 panels horizontally: first one for the apps, second one for pinned web-pages...

- pin the web: you can now, from the browser menu, pin the website (and it will be listed on the first Homescreen page, as always) or pin the page (which will be listed on the second page of the homescreen). This is the first brick. In the future, "pin the page" should extract some interesting content on the page, like contacts, photos, videos....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
Sounds good!

Thank you [MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION] to let us updated.

I might update my phone then even though the two feature that I really miss are still not ready, carddav (my cozycloud.io is waiting for it) and VPN (I can't access all mozilla ressources from Iran without VPN, and with CISA just adopted by USA, VPN is more than ever a need).

Thank you again [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] for your work.

Firefox OS on Sprint

I tried installing this on my Sprint device, and I was unable to send SMS messages but was able to place calls. In settings, the message "Unknown SIM Card State" is repeated several times in the relevant places.

Has anybody else tried using this on Sprint? If there's anything I could do to help get it working on Sprint, then I would gladly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Jae4prez,

sorry, but I don't know what is Sprint, could you tell me?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stickt73:
eyoome,

Sprint is a mobile provider, like O2, EE, Vodafone, etc.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jae4prez:
Specifically it's a provider using CDMA, if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
[MENTION=3015360]Jae4prez[/MENTION],

ok, so it is like like everyelse nexus 5 devices, just the provider is different (I don't think they modify the Nexus series, this is one of the advantages of Nexus....I guess!)

So, this rom should work correctly on your device.

Please, try with the "test build with Spark".
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jae4prez:
[MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION],

I had previously tried both the nightly build and the 2.2 build. I'll try the test build and report back later.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jae4prez:
[MENTION=5033115]eyoome[/MENTION], [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION],

I just tried the test build. Once again, it's able to connect to the network and can place calls but is incapable of sending or receiving text messages or connecting to wireless data. Oddly, when I boot the phone, the dialer starts and a call is placed to *#06#. I am using the Sprint network.

Does anybody know any ways I could improve the situation of Firefox OS on CDMA networks? The Firefox OS wiki has very little information about CDMA support.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stefanthehuman:
Apparently beta 2.5 is out are we gonna be jumping on that soon :D ?!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jae4prez:
Mozilla has pre-made builds for nexus 5 here. What differences would be between your builds and these official ones, do you think?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eyoome:
Hi Jae4prez,

you are totally right, Mozilla are making a great web site to resume all the devices supported, which is nice!

For Neexus 5 or 4, they also provide themself rom and updates :).

I guess it is only Nightly and fastboot flashable only, and I don't know if they provide Spark or not (I hope they do...).

Try it give us your opinion! :)

What [MENTION=4466984]Vosky[/MENTION] provides is all the releases for FirefoxOS and Nightly with or without Spark, with fastboot or recovery flashables.

So it's complete :).

Feel free to comment your thoughs.

Hi,

so, so far I know, FirefoxOS is not dead: https://twitter.com/ImYoric/status/675422925315547137
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vosky:
Hi,

We are switching to a new build config.

Till today, builds were made on a computer at home then uploaded to ffos.vosky.fr.

Home computer have good hardware but slow connexion and ffos.vosky have Gameboy harware with 1 Gb/s connexion.

Upload from home to ffos take about 6 hours.

That is why we never upload more than 2 builds per day.

In the new config, builds will be make ON ffos.vosky, a REAL server with great hardware and 100 Mb/s connexion.

We are still working on it, we have some issues during compilations.

So, what already changed ?

My home server upload files on the new server.

Bandwidth is slower, but only those of you who have connexion with more than 100 Mb/s will see a small difference.

All the website is in HTTPS, even next FOTAs releases.

What will change ?

Builds will be made ON ffos.vosky.fr.

So we will be able to releases more builds per day and it will relieve my home Internet. ;)

Eyome suggest to release test builds everyday with nightlies.

We also

MAY

upload builds for another device.

But we are not sure because it would double our work and we are lazy :p and we do not have another device so we would upload without any test...

If you want that we add ONE other device, we need 3 things :

- The device is not made by another Mozilla contributor, so it is not on this website : https://firefoxos.mozilla.community/devices/

- The device have a Mozilla manifest, on this website : https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest

- You have this device and you are motivated to help us (may need to erase all phone datas during tests).

Big bonus point : You speak french.

If you want to suggest new device that respects theses conditions, please send me a PM, so we do not flood this topic.

French messages will be read first. :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Thatoo:
I have a question to someone who installed recently a nightly build : in the list of translation of FFOS and/or in the list of keyboard available, can you choose "Persian" or "Farsi" (fa) it's the same language (two different name)?

and the same question to someone who install a Pre-releases 2.5 : in the list of translation of FFOS and/or in the list of keyboard available, can you choose "Persian" or "Farsi" (fa) it's the same language (two different name)?

Thank you,

Hi, Vosky. Keep up the great work! For my birthday my wife bought me a Nexus 5, so I will have a dedicated Firefox OS platform. Eventually get my own build tree running, but for now--thanks for the nice build service!
