[MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] released a BETA test kernel if anyone wants to try it out.

UnicornBlood infused with mr1 kernel source. Anyone that wants to try it out, you can get it from the link below, and flash it via fastboot.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Freak07:
aehm i get redirected to another site :D

did your or anyone change the link?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] JackTheRipper1891:
You have to be sure that you're using the keyboard helper through Language and Input settings whenever you're using your external keyboard. I don't know if you've tried that or not, but I don't think any of the keyboard helpers work automatically. I personally use "Null Keyboard," a free keyboard helper that appears to have been taken off from the play store, unfortunately. Regardless of which one you use, and assuming you use Tasker as well, you can make a profile to automatically switch between the keyboard helper and your regular onscreen keyboard whenever your external keyboard is connected and disconnected. Works flawlessly for me :)

If you still have issues, let me know and I'll see if I can send you a PM with the link to the apk I use.

DU works for Lte nexus 9 again!

I was about to try a different rom when I decided to try the latest weekly (12 may) of DU. I am happy to report that, even if it is unsupported by the development team, DU works on the nexus 9 lte version. :)

Many thanks to the developers!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
LTE shouldn't work though. Rild was removed.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] bandur:
Bummer, thanks for the info. Haven't tried LTE yet. I guess I will have to find a way to add rild back in.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You can compile from DU source and add back rild here: https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_htc_flounder/blob/lollipop/full_flounder.mk#L27

and change common_full_tablet_wifionly to common_full_phone in https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/android_device_htc_flounder/blob/lollipop/du.mk#L4

A little question. Another xda member stated there was a test kernel with merged changes from 5.1.1 and he gave a link.

Do you have another link? His link directs me to some other site with a gif looping. Or is this a joke I do not get? :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It was a joke. He was intentionally Rick Rolling you all lol.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
In my own defense, there is a test up on the G+ that does indeed include the kernel I was talking about [emoji14]
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Freak07:
Haha alright :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TenderloinShadow:
Hi. I ran this ROM for about a week until switching to the OTA 5.1.1. I loved it, but I do have one little bug to report here.

I have the N9 keyboard case, and like all bluetooth keyboards with Lollipop, there is a quick little toggle to turn the onscreen keyboard on or off. By default, it's set to off when the device detects it is connected to a bluetooth keyboard, but the toggle is useful if you decide to pull it out of the cradle and just use it as a tablet. Rather than turning off the bluetooth or otherwise disconnecting the device, you can just set it so the onscreen keyboard pops up again.

In case you're unfamiliar with where this option is located, when using the bluetooth keyboard (or any keyboard, actually, including the virtual onscreen ones) there is a keyboard icon in the lower right hand corner of the navbar that brings up a popup window with, among other things, this toggle. NOTE: this icon only appears if AT LEAST two onscreen, virtual keyboards have been enabled under Language and Input in Settings.

Now, the bug I wanted to bring up: the onscreen keyboard always defaults to being on, regardless of that setting. Whether the toggle is set to allow the onscreen keyboard to appear or not, it will always appear. Toggling the setting on and off will cause behavior to return to normal, but a few hours later, when I pick up the device to use it again, the problem has returned (I think it's related to a bug with the initial connection to the bluetooth keyboard, but that's just speculation).

Anyway, wanted to bring this up. Minor flaw in an otherwise great ROM. Keep it up.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
This "bug" has been reported already. Please read the thread first prior to posting. Thanks.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] bandur:
Thanks, will try my hand at compiling from source again, maybe during my upcoming vacations. Last I tried it didn't go too well.

Approximately how much data would I need to sync?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Between the OS, ccache, DU source, and then compiling.. you'd want at least 325GB
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] bandur:
Thanks, will see what I can do. First I need a solution to my 115 gb monthly data allowance....
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Find a restaurant with free WiFi homie. ;)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
I haven't seen any mention officially, but i updated to 5.1.1 using factory images. From what I understand, the previous need for the vendor fix zip was to correct a line in the vendor build.prop. since i am updated to 5.1.1 factory, is the vendor fix still necessary?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
If you still get the error, then still apply the fix :P
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
i was just reading the install directions in OP, wanted to make sure i read everything before i flashed. being the golden rule and all. thanks for the reply though
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Theoretically, you shouldn't get the error.. But since the build fingerprint and the factory image fingerprint aren't going to match, you may. The only upside is that once you install it, you're good and you shouldn't have to install it a second time, even if the ROM is updated.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] phiz118:
Not booting

So I followed the instructions, however it won't boot.

1) Full Wipe

2) Install stable DU 5.1.1 from 4/26

3) Install Full GApps

On first boot, the loading unicorn just spins forever. I am loading the rom over OTG USB. Is there anything obvious that I might be doing wrong? I came from a factory upgraded 5.1.1 install.

Update - No idea why, but a hard reset made it boot fine after letting it sit in the "spinning unicorn" mode for over 10 mins.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
First boot can take anywhere from 5 to about 12 minutes
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
fyi vendor fix is still necessary after flashin factory 5.1.1 images. Im going to try the fix listed a few pages back with build.prop and vendor.prop edits first, so i can easily revert them if need be. Rom runs super smooth, but i had 21% drainage overnight. is this normal?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Nope.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
guess its time for battery monitoring and wakelock detecting.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Certainly something on your end.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
wouldnt surprise me, its my wife's tablet and she has a lot of apps installed with less than stellar optimization, i'm sure. ill see if i can figure out what the culprit is.

Thanks for your work.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Having the same Problem since I switched to 5.1.1, on every Rom. For me it was WiFi. Try to set your WiFi settings to disconnect when sleeping. But only it your Drainage isn't caused by an App
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I've left WiFi on overnight and not lost even 1%.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Clayne:
Anyone tried the latest test build (19/5)? Any problems?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] sasho36:
I have, no problems at all.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Easier to just ask on G+
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
im using bundled kernel, but charging seems to be really slow. as in the lockscreen estimates 6 hours until full from 35%. on factory images, it estimated a little over an hour from around 20%. Is there a fast charge setting in the kernel that can be adjusted? if so, what app should i use (trickster, kernel adiutor, etc)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Trickster enable fast charging.

The only thing with WiFi I ever turn off is allowing apps to scan for WiFi even when WiFi is off.

I get about 3% drain overnight if I don't plug my tab in.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Yeah, I know. It's not DU specific, had this also in other 5.1.1 Roms. Don't know the cause really and right now I don't have time to go hunting, it's easier to just disable it if I don't need it [emoji1]
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
That's not fair, because you use the super-secret, developer made, unreleased, super-duper, over optimized, mega kernel, with OC to 4.1 GHz, and UC to 4.7 MHz. Undervolting capable to -990mV. How can you compare that to the stock kernel?

:D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] USBhost:
Haha right...
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fyarf:
I turned the Wi-Fi off during sleep, and only had 3% drain over night, in a happy camper now.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] paishoiroh:
So I have a feeling my previous issue was due to me installing something incorrectly. If I were to wipe the device and install DU and Gapps fresh along with the vendor fix, would I be able to install from a TWRP backup and get my tablet up and running again?

Also in the future when an update is released, what would be the best way to update without losing my data?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Make backups with apps that have that functionality.

I don't really know what you're talking about as far as installing something from a TWRP backup. Do you mean restoring a backup?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] paishoiroh:
Yes restoring a backup. I noticed that the new DU version comes with a updater. Does this only provide the file to then install using something like TWRP? Does this mean that the storage would not have to be worried about with each coming update?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] spongers:
I know its not officially supported, but has anyone had luck getting LTE working on the latest weekly? It was working prior to this release.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Yeah, than you're experiencing the same strange thing. If I have a little spare time I think I'm going to flash the factory Image and reset everything to start from scratch :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
Yeah, the updater only makes it easy to track and download the image files. For backup/restore, you could do a nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing, and then use Titanium to extract your apps from the nandroid backup and restore them.

Personally, I just do a fresh Titanium Backup before flashing, flash the latest image + gapps and then restore everything else.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
This.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ombadboy:
I've followed exactly the instructions and I've been stuck on the unicorn logo for over 20 minutes. I've tried wiping system, data, cache, etc. and reflashing the ROM but still stuck there. Any ideas?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Did you set a PIN at boot or restore any kind of partition (/data or /system)?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] volwrath:
I also just bu using titanium and then do a restore from there, but the problem I have is that some of the apps simply wont restore and sit there and clock until I kill TB. So what I find myself doing is to restore on an app by app basis which is a pain.Is there an easy solution for this?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Install the apps that it gets stuck on from the Play Store then restore the data only for those apps.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] visitor29:
I tried every kind of manipulations and can confirm personally me I can't get this build on LTE, previously was fine... Sadly :(
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Yeah that's been noted since long ago. No longer supports LTE variant.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] visitor29:
Yeah I know that, but worth to try :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] bandur:
OP mentioned a few pages back that RILD was removed. The rom install fine on the LTE model, but lte doesn't work. One solution is to compile it from source including the missing rild. I might try it, if I find a way to synchronize the sources.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] :
Hi guys just a quick question before I install this ROM, does camera work??
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SoniXDroid:
Yes, camera works fine.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] :
After finding out camera works I installed the rom and wow, good performance, battery life and stability,great job DU!!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
I'm having one of my noob moments. Could someone detail the proper procedure for flashing a DU update (coming from a previous DU)?

What I'm currently doing is (via TWRP):

- flashing new ROM

- flashing gapps (either an older version of the one linked in OP, or the exact linked zip)

- wipe dalvik+cache

I've done this 3 times over the past weeks, with TEST or WEEKLY versions of DU, coming from 9.3 official. 1 time everthing worked out, but the other 2 times I was left with a disfunctional GAPPS system (Gmail FC, Google App FC and Google Play Services FC from time to time).

What I'm looking for is the proper way to handle gapps when updating (the rest of the system seems fine after install). Which versions, and what is the proper order of operations :)

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] mrshades812:
You have to clean install this rom every time. I have never gotten a dirty install to work on it. Just back your stuff up and restore it afterwards.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
Thanks. I guess I was confused by the "Perform a FULL WIPE as described below if coming from another ROM" mention in the flashing instructions (I just assumed that a full wipe is not needed if coming from DU).
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] cgorki:
What am I doing wrong?

After a full wipe, I installed 1. the ROM 2. GApps 64bit 3. Vendor Fix on my encrypted Nexus9.

All google apps and services are FCing. Tried it four times already always with same results. :eek:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] mrshades812:
Try flashing the factory 5.1.1 vendor image.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] cgorki:
Worked fine with mini GApps now.

I guess the other GApps file is corrupt.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] asphaltsally:
Fastest ROM

I just want to say thank you for this ROM. I've tried a few and this is by far the fastest!! Can't wait to try M.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Gonna be a very very very long time for that lol.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Mako plz
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Gus.S:
Camera FCed

I started with 5.0.2 Stock ROM, things re sluggish and battery hog but camera works. I don't use camera much or at all, but need it for video chatting. I flashed DU 9.2 for better performance with the knowledge of camera is not working, then DU 9.3 came along with the camera fixed. I flashed that DU 9.3 but my camera still fc-ed. I even try to revert back to stock Google ROM and camera still not working. Can anybody help me with any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Gus.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Clean flash the ROM.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Gus.S:
I did clean flash the ROM. At one point I even used the format data from TWRP and cleaned up everything including the internal storage then sideload the ROM.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Camera is working fine.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Do a full wipe, and reinstall the ROM. When you get everything setup, download Google Camera and use that. Don't open the AOSP camera at all, just use Google Camera. They are the same thing. I had the same issue a couple weeks back and this fixed it.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dubbactrumpetmsu:
I am having the absolute worst luck with this rom. Finally got it installed, and all the Google Services and Apps start FCing. "Google App" has stopped, etc etc. I've reflashed, I've complete wiped and flashed, I've unrooted, flashed stock, rerooted and flashed again, all to no luck. Is this newest version just having issues?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Try using Banks' latest gapps and see if that helps at all: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] cerj:
Yes the banks gapps helped my situation.. TY
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Thanks, hoping that works - Just finished flashing - also got the "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact the manufacturer for details." warning...is that something to be worried about? This is my second N9, but I didn't have the first one long enough to get into rooting and flashing to see much going on.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Nope. Nothing to worry about there. The fix is actually in my OP though if you get tired of looking at that annoying message lol. :highfive:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Oh, is that the Vendor fix? I wasn't sure what it was, I just figured I should get the first two working first :) Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] syryanyang:
I'm a complete noobie when it comes to flashing ROM but the stock android lags are driving me crazy. Can anyone link me a comprehensive guide for dummies? Much appreciated.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Part of learning is doing the work for yourself. There are many many good and easy to understand Tutorials. I'm not trying to be an ass, but if you're too lazy to look for a tutorial you should maybe consider leaving it on stock ;)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It does say "Vendor fix" lol
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dubbactrumpetmsu:
LOL yes, I meant the Vendor fix was what fixes that odd warning - That's what happens when you're at work and typing fast so you're not considered slacking off too much by being on XDA. :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] syryanyang:
that's all good I know where you are coming from. I've read a few tutorials and still don't quite understand the process.

For example, does this ROM contain google service package? Why do I have to flash gapps rather than installing them from play store?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Because Google doesn't provide their gapps to us or anyone. We need the framework in order to get the services operational, thus why gapps pkgs are necessary.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] wingdo:
While you can install a minimal gapps package, you have to install *something* because source code (aosp) doesn't include any Google apps. You can't install from the play store without the play store and its required services.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Ali.G:
error

I am on the latest weeklies for the Nexus 9

Every time I reboot the device I get a message there is an internal problem with your device! Please contact your manufacturer!:confused:

Any help with that :fingers-crossed:

How do I switch off the sound while typing, it is really annoying :eek:

Thanks

Great ROM BTW

Flash the vendor fix zip from op

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
While the guy above did answer your question, you could've found that answer by just reading. Do that next time prior to posting. Thanks! :good:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Truthiswithin:
For those noticing the on-screen keyboard when you are using the bluetooth keyboard, a workaround is to install Null Keyboard from the market, then setting it to your current keyboard. For switching, I found a widget, Quick Keyboard Switch, that lets me switch ime from the home screen. Not perfect, but hey, nice rom otherwise :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Ali.G:
Will this ROM work on my N9 Wifi only (volantis) device or is it only for the flounder version? :confused:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
They are the same. Volantis is HTC's codename for the Nexus 9. Flounder is Google's codename for the Nexus 9, so I guess the answer is yes to your question.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] xtcdk:
Banks gapps will not work 6/6 . use du gapps package . just my experience .

Shamu/Hammerhead/Flounder Dkwhq
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Banks gapps work fine.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] xtcdk:
Hmm . got system ui fc upon clean flash with 6/6 banks

Shamu/Hammerhead/Flounder Dkwhq
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Unless the SysUI FC cycles, it's not exactly very important. However, I'm using the 6/6 pkg and don't recall any issues.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] xtcdk:
Maybe i just was unlucky . anyway thankz for thebuild as always

Shamu/Hammerhead/Flounder Dkwhq
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] nrsmac:
Great Rom!!!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I've been waiting for one of you to come along. Feel free to try the ROM and let me know if it works for you. You may need to add your APN manually though.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] mrshades812:
Yeah, I just had to wait for play services to update on my device. The 64 bit gapps has an older version it seems.

Thanks
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] idelgado782:
I'm willing to test it out later on tonight. If in fact I do need to manually add an would you be able to tell me where I can find them before I flash so that I can have everything prepared? Tia!

Takin Notes..
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Same place as per usual.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] rpolito73:
LTE question already asked. I'm flashing and will report back.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] :
Hi guys, thanks developer for making this ROM, smooth, fasst and very power efficient over stock ROM.

I've got a question , the camera is not working, it keeps on saying camera stopped working, I needed to take a shot for work but couldn't lol
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You don't own a cell phone? Lol
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
Camera FC shouldn't be an issue on a sub par camera anyway, lol.. If someone hadn't mentioned it, it probably would've taken me months to realize it was even broken. I'd rather take Polaroids than use my tablets camera. Had my flo for over a year and haven't used the rear camera once.

Edit: the only thing that sucks is not having front facing for Skype.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] sn2hotty:
Comes in handy for the bank app taking a pic of a check to make a deposit, or Document Scanner app (take a pic of a doc and save as a pdf in a pinch). That's what made me realize it (was taking a pic of my son's math homework to save as a pdf LOL). But like NYCHitMan said, that's what the cell phone is for LOL. No biggie at all.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] KingVeto:
Hey guys. I can report mobile data DOES indeed work on the LTE model. Actually mobile data has worked on all the roms I've tried so far. Which is a very pleasant surprise.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
You guys smell that? Smells like an official LTE release to me :)
