i'm using those same gapps and no problems over 8 months of using them across a great number of clean installs and albeit most people tend to blame a rom a kernel or android, the beginning of a problem is 99% on user side and no it's not format and install because you don't have to wipe your internal storage, so everything on your sdcard will be there after a clean install, up to you now what kind of settings and data you want to backup. further if you have/had a nandroid backup of your last working version you could go from there. not likely that the same error happens twice, except if it would be a bad download which you can check via MD5, just to make sure that your zip is ok. last but not least i can say that i flash between 10-15 roms per week and have to perform between 4-5 clean installs per year which i find totally acceptable.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jacakk:
I am not blaming anyone. I'm looking for help. MD5 checksums are ok - ROM zip and GApps zip.

Try to dirty flash ROM, next GApps, clear cache. Use versions that I mentioned before.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
sorry but you did blame, first the rom then windows then the gapps and then me for sayin' so. i mean i wrote and linked about 30 lines of help, very specific and all that comes back is some kind of complaint.

i can tell you frankly that the way of troubleshooting i linked you to is the FIRST thing to do before even posting an issue which others don't have at all or not in numbers. the entire attempt is wrong, wrong thread, no cleany, asking for help but not doing it. it's not a place for an in depth analysis but there are terms for it. just no more from me on the matter and that you don't know how and when to use the thanks button is indicative as well and fits the "blaming" attitude. end of rant and ignore list is greeting
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aashgaur:
Yeah.

I'm talking about the arrows inside the wifi and network icon.

So basically one can't disable them, just hide them by matching the colour of the icons to the arrows which is white.

Cool
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jacakk:
I don't want to be mean but you need to read with understanding. I wasn't blaming anyone/anything at all. That all was just looking for help.

I'm using this ROM so I am writing here - simple. Maybe somebody has the same issue and can help me. I don't want to argue with you.

Thanks for adding me to ignore list ;) (sarcasm)

If OP think that all my last post in this topic are unnecessary here - please don't delete just them - delete whole conversation including magnamentis's posts.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
Why would anyone install an operating system over itself (dirty install) and carry over the same problems ROM after ROM

Format system, wipe both caches and in extreme circumstances rename android folder and start fresh.

Years ago, a dirty install was taboo, now the norm, and worse, people post problems with a dirty install. :banghead:

Please Don't ever complain about issues if you have ?

1). Dirty flashed

2) use a custom kernel...

3). Try and get a logcat...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
my 6 has arrive 2 hours ago, rooted and unlocked, next setting up bliss after i got the LED notif. light running LOL. how about yours, already there or in the pipeline?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
:) hopefully we should have the N6 Thursday if all goes well... been on the phone to the company today and fingers crossed order tomorrow and get Thursday.. see YOU in the N6 forums my friend.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
sure that, following that thread for a week now to get a feel and need not asking them a bunch full. root and BL unlock was an easy one, totally hassle free and now setting bliss, apps & kernel up, i just don't know whether to ditch the N5 or the OPO as my second daily driver and which theme i shall make this time, perhaps ferrari red after royal blue and british racing green. first world problems though LOL see you there :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] geek-x:
This has been an awesome ROM so far for me as I get the best battery life of all hammerhead ROMs floating around.

Only two things get me bothered now,

Is tweaking the AOSP keyboard necessary? The numbers that show on the top don't let correction suggestions pop up properly, the suggestions show, but they only do for about a millisecond and its frustrating. So I think you created a bug by implementing a feature, also It takes up some useful space at the stock DPI (I guess this is what prevents the suggestions from showing properly).

Finally, the stock Messages app has this option to change the bubbles style in a conversation, is it necessary? The app has a decent UI already, and its really difficult replicating the stock look with the options in the modded Messages app.

So far I've had to pick up the latest Messages and AOSP keyboard(which still causes the correction suggestions bug) app from another CM12.1 ROM to install on Bliss. I might be wrong about all this and there are ways to have those features disabled that I might not know of.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
The bug about correction suggestion drop down menu not showing has been fixed recently. Update to the latest version and you'll be good. You might have to install it by hand though since the ota app had a bug in recent versions too. As for keyboard and messaging, if you don't like the stock ones, feel free to install third party ones that fits your need. CM ones will be like you want I guess, or install Google's version from play store.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ldubs:
Just use Google keyboard and another messaging app, there are tons out there. Pretty harsh language BTW, gotta remember the devs do this on their own time and dollar...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gippy2:
Every time a post starts off by complimenting the rom ..I start to cringe cos you know how it's going to finish lol.....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TrOjAnUK:
And now we are stuck in here for another month :(

TrOjAn
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
finally someone spoke it out loudly, i would not have found those words without the full despite showing haha..... well done, albeit as we all know it's the time spirit and nothing will change. still a pleasure :good::highfive::cool:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BuQQzz:
Great ROM been using this for a long time ! But...... Naw just kidding there's no buts Lol just all around stable and efficient. You'll have my donation this weekend [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] ??. As a small time maintainer for some devices I know what its like behind the scenes.. Excellent work and glad your building for us hammerheads ?✊ enjoy your day!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Latest official aosp build… when charging along with the battery inside vertical icon percentage text there is also text of percentage beside icon during charge. Its not a big deal but I think it should not be there cuz it wasnt there before. Just a notice.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ldubs:
Huh?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gippy2:
He is talking about being let down with the N6.....[emoji106]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Nothing new in the battery settings in a long time. The battery percentage shows besides the icon when charging because of the charging lightning bolt that gets inside the icon replacing the percentage. It is the desired behavior and it was in fact a merge from cm code. Maybe I didn't get you right though, is that what you meant?

Lock screen wallpaper not work

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Oh, sorry, I thought just to report if thats not right. I came to 3.9 right from 3.6 where that was different. It does not bothers me, though?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vaizen:
Just a quick question. Has the SystemUI theme returned to stock look or is it still with the ugly outline/ststroke?

I find it ugly to see it doesn't change with white SystemUI themes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
It is with the sleek outline. I dont find it ugly, its just different. Maybe it would be cool to have them both. I would also like real dark but not black the dark blisspop option as well. But in general its not so much big of a deal, its just very subjective point of taste.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] geek-x:
Lool, woah guys, I didn't mean to say anything harsh about Bliss, I absolutely love Bliss, and so far has been my daily driver. I just had to air out things I couldn't find anyone else talking about.

By the way, is it just me or is anyone else having every Chrome variant flashing red borders?. I mean Chrome, Chrome Beta and Dev. While using all three, I get this red flashing borders for less than a second . I don't have strict mode enabled in developer options. I updated to the latest version of bliss hours ago, and I still have the red rectangle in the way.

It does mahn, Settings > Bliss Interface > Lock Screen Options > Set Lock Screen Wallpaper.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] morfances:
I did not say that there is but that does not work xD

When I change the lockscreen wallpaper, also changes the background of the home

Is anyone having a problem with the keyboard while using messaging app.. Keyboard disappears while using it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New builds are up !!!

Guys, I just released so new builds on the BlissRoms website. Before you go and flash it, there are a few things I want to tell right away to make things clear. There is a new option in Dark Bliss to override notifications and status bar colors (to prevent black on black when enabling Dark Bliss). BUT, it will override your settings at each boot (and every time you change theme/toggle dark bliss on or off from what I understand). So the first time you boot you will see that status bar and notification bar are black. To change that remove the override option in dark bliss then go to bliss interface/notification drawer then status bar header and/or customize notification colors to change then to whatever you want. In the top right corner (3 dot menu) you can choose the stock android colors.

That being said, we also added a pretty cool features to clear the recents app. Just open recents then shake the phone, and voila !

Finally, I tried the last thing I could think of for call recording on non-caf build. After that I'm out of ideas, so if it's still not working (make sure to use AAC format) and you guys know of another rom with it working please let me know so I can see what's wrong we me lol :D

That's about it, enjoy !!!

Even though the stock CAF kernel which comes this ROM works pretty nice, fluid, stable and battery friendly, I still like the RACER for caf cuz its packed with lot of governors and 3 choices of hotplugs and more but the latest issued is not so stable if anything changed but default via synapse so Im back to AOSP for now until developer issues the fixes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ldubs:
Yes just noticed this within the last couple of days. Keyboard disappears right in the middle of typing a message, then have to click back into the text to get the keyboard back. Also suddenly cannot get the voice commands to work in messaging, it opens and immediately closes.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

How can I get a bit better battery life on this ROM? Loving it but something is causing my battery to drain pretty quickly with minimal usage. Is there a built-in kernel adjustment setting? What to change there? I'm most noobish when it comes to kernel settings...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] R4e:
Has anyone tried recent app then shake the phone, and voila? My phone screen will rotate (after violently shaking)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah well you have to turn it on in Bliss interface/smart control lol!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
using a caf rom with a custom kernel is mostly useless and not worth the downsides because as far as i know almost all if not all the differences between caf and non-caf are in the kernel. so if you change the kernel you trade real benefits for questionable or at leat minor benefits from govs and schedulers and have to live with the disadvantages of certain incompatibilities. are you aware of this and do you have anything non-placebo or due to the urge to be different or to name and number addiction to proof me wrong? if so, i'm really interested to know those reasons.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Sms keyboard bug is known and there of a potential fix for it already in our gerrit. Should be fixed in next update. As for battery life, there are no essay answer to that question. First you need to find out what is draining your battery. Kernel settings play a small role in battery life honestly, so I suggest first going through your apps and removing all the unnecessary/battery hugs.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ZooBaAr:
The only reason I used racer on CAF was for the DT2W feature, I really like being able to do that, I am aware of the downside too.

Stock for a while now tho as racer is on hold and not stable.

Dark_Eyes_ I have request if I may, I find the scramble lock screen handy when I am in a restaurant etc and dont want prying eyes. I have seen an option in euphoria i think, that you could hit scramble key ( beside 0 ) before entering your pin on the lockscreen instead of it always being scrambled. Is this possible to implement? It was very convenient.

Thanks as always for building and maintaining this great rom. ONce a week we get new presents:highfive:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I really dont feel difference in sound quality and I have high performance monitor earbuds AKG K324 P, and head no noticeable difference but since I got only one phone I cant really compare in real time so its hard to be absolute sure. As for kernel, RACER kernel has some pretty much of options to play with, really a lot and I like to experiment with I/O schedulers, governors, hotplugs, TCP algorhithms and so...

Well, nothing really of a big deal but just for a fun of customisations. As I said, the latest was not very stable, sometimes out of nowhere, randomly freezes and reboot twice in a row and thats kinda ugly, especially when you need it for call and not for waiting for it to reboot, lol. There is really not much CAF kernels to try, so I decided to return to aosp. I didnt even noticed a difference, improvement nor downsides for either aosp or caf builds, but thats just my subjective feel. Im not developer and I cant understand codes but I like to tweak and have fun with customizing not only my phone for that matter.

Question, is the CAF really better?

I understand that it should be, but Im not convinced since it is always in some kind of beta testing, experimenting with new drivers and so.

I could be very wrong about that.

So, is it better or just different, newer or something else?

---------- Post added at 03:01 ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 ----------

Thanks, already enjoying it.

As for call recorder aosp still records only my own voice, I will try to test different apps and report. But I know that this build and one prior build are having this issue, the builds before these two were fine for call recording, so You might take a look in those builds rather then complete other roms.

New smart shaking features are great.

As for the themeing, its weird to have enebled dark bliss at first boot after not even using it before but your advice about how to manage it worked fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah I'll have the team look into it, shouldn't be too hard to implement. Nice find.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] owngaurav:
Hi.. Thanks for the new build.. But how can I play the call recording..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] smurk666:
Thanks for fixing the SMS problem I have a ? How did u g4t the number row on top .. Is that a stock option with the asop keyboard
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
All files are saved to callrecordings folder on sdcard. You can play them using any music player, buy the easiest way is to go in the recents call, then click on the one you recorded, then details and you will see on option to play what was recorded.

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

The extra row for number was added by the team in the aosp keyboard. It is not a stock feature, and it is not included in say Google keyboard on the play store or cm keyboard for example.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ldubs:
Ota updater not working right for me. Woke up this am to a notification that an update was available and then the only option was install, so I assumed it had downloaded already (said the md5 matched). Clicked install and it rebooted into twrp, then failed. Turns out it had not downloaded the file after all. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hamma:
Yep, same here. After reboot OTA works.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ldubs:
Ah cool i shall try that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
no reboot necessary, just hit the back button and re-enter the updater app and the install will be replaced by download. it's a very old but which i didn't bother to report since a) i thought the devs would find out themselves and fix it which they did not, so what, and b) the workaround is that easy and i got used to it, hence again, so what LOL
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
So you mean it happens all the time? Like every new update you have to open the app, exit the app and re-open it for it to work?

Lol I didn't know about it, and to be honest I never use the OTA app cause I would have to 1) Flash the new build to make sure it works 2) Revert to previous build 3) Upload the new build to the server 4) Check the OTA app and download the exact same file I just uploaded 5) Install through OTA, which gives the same result as step 1...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hamma:
It happens when a new build is found automatically. When found manually and download, it works.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Im not sure I got this right, are you sugesting not to use custom caf kernel over the stock caf? And I had no idea that the difference between aosp and caf is all in kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
more or less so, i stopped paying attention honestly, it became a routine to hit back and re-open and all is good but it has been like that from day one if the new update has already been detected before i open updater. the new update is shown correctly but it says install instead of download, not a big thing :) still, it's definitely not as intended i think.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

it depends if you use just a caf-compatible kernel or a real caf kernel, means similar to caf stock + features. i just know that the first dev who made caf roms for the nexus 5, which was myfluxi for cm11 at the time, mentioned in almost every post that it does not make much sense to flash a "just compatible" kernel, but the purpose and greatest benefit and difference of cm11-pure-caf is kernel side.

however i have to admit that this i from reading, while there are people who have much more insight into caf/non-caf stuff. ask [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] who makes the builds he can certainly say what in that caf variant is different and/or at least where the greatest benefits are, rom side or kernel side.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Well, I do prefer RACER CAF kernel and I think even [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] metioned it somewhere in positive way but Im not sure. There is really a lot to dig, and Im not so much free with time but thanks anyway.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
First, thanks [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] for the opening statement lol. I'll try to add a few things here so people get a bit more what is the difference between caf and aosp (or non-caf) builds.

First, you have to understand that rom wise, there are no differences. That means that all the same features are present in both builds. The only difference that can exist is when a feature is broken in a version and not the other. A good example would be call recorder, since it works on the caf build but not the aosp one. The fact that it's working on one and not the other doesn't come from the source code of the rom itself, but from the device tree of the device. That means that caf and aosp are built as if they were 2 different phones.

Now to the difference. As I just said caf and aosp are built as different phones. Aosp is built against Android code for the phone, which at the beginning was provided by the manufacturer of the SoC (Qualcomm). But, Qualcomm continues to modify there source code with bug fixes and performance enhancements. So, to put it simply, caf based rom are taking advantage of those enhancements from qualcomm (which they release on the Code Aurora Forum - CAF for short), while a pure aosp version is not. That means in theory that caf-based are better, but it doesn't mean that it will be noticeably better. It will be most apparent on sound and display, and all those differences are governed at the kernel level. That's why a pure aosp kernel won't work on caf and vice versa.

That being said, I liked the caf builds over the aosp ones because I experienced a "freeze" in Google chrome with all the aosp roms i tried, except with code blue kernel. At the time I thought I was the only one with that annoying but, but it turned out that many had that issue too. Anyway, I never had that problem on CAF based, so that's why I stick with it. I would say try them both, figure out what you like best, there is no good or bad choice. For sure there are not much choices of kernel on caf, so maybe it's a turn off for you. Either way, stock caf kernel is pretty solid out of the box, but limited in options.

Hope it all made it a bit clearer.

EDIT: as for racer kernel, it is a true caf kernel as it is based off cm caf one. I haven't tried it lately but I hear it's not always stable. I would say if you don't need anything more than stock, stay stock, otherwise try racer and see if you like it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hayatzada:
confirming, call recording is not working with stock kernel, uber kernel and aac format is also not doing anything.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
hey guys, the grey border in settings is gone as per today's build on my nexus 6, hence there is hope that that thing has been reverted and we can expect it sooner or later for the nexus 5 as well. recents are still the same but then i like those LOL
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Thanks a lot?

---------- Post added at 23:43 ---------- Previous post was at 23:32 ----------
