Removing the system app and installing from playstore did not fix the voice searches, nor the mic not working for enabling google now everywhere. In fact, it removed the everywhere option.

I performed a factory reset, and the issue remains.

what google apps package are you all using with this rom?

EDIT:

1) I am using CM gapps.

----

2) My nexus 5 still stays with NO mobile data connection after leaving a wifi area, if i had been in that wifi area for a long time. I then must enable airplane mode for a few secs to get it back. This started happening in 5.0.2, just before official 5.1 hit, so it is not this rom's issue.

Try this.

Android System battery percentage high?

Has anyone nailed down the cause of the high battery usage by Android System? I know my SOT is really high and I'm charging with USB but to be triple what the screen is? I don't have the wakelock issue. But I'm thinking its something to do with ambient screen?

In an unrelated matter. What is the difference between the different "Battery Mode" s?

After searching and reading up on the differences of CM AOSP and CM CAF, I came across a post of someone having a CAF version of TWRP 2.8.6.1.

I'm just wondering why isn't the CAF variant of TWRP 2.8.6.1 up on twrp.me? I found a few links for it, flashed it to my phone, and it installed CM12.1 CAF fine. Was it pulled from (or never uploaded to) the site, or is it an unofficial build going around?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arlenwoot:
It's not on the site because it was never made. The 2.8.6.1 caf version someone else compiled, 2.8.5.3 is the only official caf.

kernals

which kernal do u prefer will work in this rom ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexttjme:
Dont think about kernel. Just use the build-in kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] myfluxi:
High battery usage is fixed in today's nightly. Our post processing daemon is not yet ready for a kernel change, that I have reverted in http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/97324/. We are now back to our usual 2% batt loss during night (scientifically tested !!!11eleven!). I was busy with other things and didn't really notice it, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nexttjme:
Thanks! Just flashed 5-5 build. I really dont care much about battery. Just love CM CAF. 4-5h SOT is good for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SedyBenoitPeace:
However guys i read one previous posts that someone told that CAF and AOSP have almost the same battery life...well i think that they hadn't tried the rom in a proper way....what can i tell it's that i came from AOSP with custom kernel and with mobile data on every time (but with 2g when screen off) with the phone that was disconnected from the charger at 08:00 am, at the 18:00 pm my battery percentage was 69%...with same usage but with CAF and LTE (no 2g with screen off and racer kernel from [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION] that it seems that it's affected my small bugs) i arrived at 20:00 PM with 72 %...well i think that this is much better...probably i noticed only a high draining with music playback (but this can be the kernel), oh and last but not least the quality of sound in CAF it's simply amazing (if you revert on AOSP and you try to listen again music you can notice a lot of differences), however happy to see that battery draining it's fixed...i'm on 28th april build i think...tonight i will flash the new one (and i will give a full shot to stock kernel)

However FYI here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60507102&postcount=1990 you can find a CAF custom kernel with fast charge and wake controls...for the rest is the same as [MENTION=4152171]myfluxi[/MENTION] kernel...however it seems that on [MENTION=1863016]rachanta[/MENTION] version there is a small bug, when you use the phone all the cores stay online with minimum frequency while on the "stock kernel" on light use we will have only one core online...

EDIT: on a side note, i need to tell also that for my lazyness i'm with an old bootloader and an old radio (i flashed all with CWM recovery and modified updater-script) probably not the best way to flash CAF :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silkeyway:
As my phone basically freezes after every soft reboot so that I'll have to perform a power-volumedown-reboot: Is this a general problem with every CM 12.1 or an issue specific to the CAF builds? Anything to be done about it on my side?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dannyella:
Thanks...but why is this commit not listed in the changelog? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
Was wondering about the same thing just now :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] myfluxi:
This might be specific for us. At this point, I'm not willing to investigate deeper because the result might be, we had to disable certain features, which I would not do. Take it or leave it :)

If you are referring to cmxlog (look Ma, I can read people's minds!), they are listing changes for hammerhead, not hammerheadcaf.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silkeyway:
Thanks for your quick answer! I'll gladly take it because for me the difference from standard 12.1 to your CAF builds was quite amazing. I'll just do a full reboot if I need a reboot and if I get a unintended soft reboot once every two days or so, I'll go volumedown+power and wait another minute. It could be worse.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
Reflashing ROM + these gapps (no wipes) fixed IT. Just the gapps wasn't enough, so I guess the other package put something broken in /system.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] myfluxi:
Thanks for tolerating my imperfection and CMs in general :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
But this one should be specific to hammerheadcaf, right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] myfluxi:
No, I was referring to this exactly. Write them an email and ask them kindly to fix it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
Awesome. The update even fixed having to manually turn vivid colors back on after a reboot on yesterday's nightly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
So did last night's revert manage to make it into today's nightly?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sly_67:
Ok I'm not the only one confused with cmxlog for Hammerheadcaf :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] myfluxi:
See #1012
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
Cmxlog seems to miss a lot of kernel stuff regardless. The best way to get a full changelog is through the cm updater. Just click on the version and you get the text file directly from the build.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luca.giannatiempo:
Your "much better" is subjective mate, translated in number is less then 5% better..in the first case you had a drain of 3,1%/hr, while in the second case you have a drain of 2,3%/hr, so it is less than 5% different..so for someone else could not be "much better" but just "a little bit better". Cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
Not sure if 5% is accurate here; at 3.1%/hr you get 32 hours; at 2.3%/hr you get 43. That's almost 35% improvement in battery life. I would definitely consider that "much" better. But again it depends from user to user; some people don't see much difference, others do.

Bootloop on install

Hello there excellent folks,

I've been trying to install the nightlies on my phone but it won't boot up. I current have Vividrom (CAF) installed, for which I needed to install the latest bootloader and TWRP 2.8.5.3 hammerheadcaf recovery. So I don't think that is an issue. I tried a few different nightlies all the way from April 30, but no luck. Also tried a couple of different GApps packages by Slim (normal and mini for 5.1.x). Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lcrponte:
What are you wiping (formatting) before flashing CM and GApps?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luca.giannatiempo:
Of course, but regarding the battery drain from 3,1%/hr to 2,3%/hr the difference is less than 5%..in total is 25% but in theory, it depends of the use. I don't think we can keep holding a mean of 2,3%/hr but obviously 25% more is "better" then aosp
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vivekthampy:
I did the standard factory reset from the TWRP recovery. I also went to the advanced wipe and formatted System, Data and Cache (not internal storage though).

I did the standard factory reset from the TWRP recovery. I also went to the advanced wipe and formatted System, Data and Cache (not internal storage though).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
No need to wipe internal storage. Are you patient enough? It takes a moment to boot the first time. Are you flashing other zip files? Just flash CM CAF zip, it's enough to see if the rom boots.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
Check if your downloaded zip is corrupted, if it is, download again. Wipe system, data, cache, flash CAF and Gapps (I recommend BaNkS Gapps)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vivekthampy:
Thanks! I did wait for a good 30 minutes. I had the CAF and GApps in the flashing queue, and nothing else. I'll try to download the ROM again and flash with the GApps you recommend.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Silkeyway:
Please do it as Primokorn said, flash one zip at a time, then boot, as you're trying to troubleshoot an issue. One step after the other, that way we'll know if there's something wrong with flashing the ROM or if it's on the GApps (whatever package).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
5-3 was working "ok" for a while, and then had SOD/RR (or SOD followed by RR).

I flashed 5-5, and saw a RR, and also a "system" process hang, followed by an unresposive phone.

Since i added no more modifications, i guess this is what people are talking about, right? (5-4 had bad battery life, also, i read, have not tried).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
This is kind of OT...but maybe not.

So I figured this would be a good place to ask since we are all on CAF. I'm a long time user of Viper4Android as I have been maintaining zips in the Themes and Apps thread for over a year now and have been using Viper since it came out. Being that I am a musician and do music production on the side I was really intrigued by the CAF Audio Experience and it was the main driving force of me jumping to CM CAF. I'm all about trying to increase the audio experience any way possible. One of the things I hear a lot about with AudioFX vs. Viper is that Viper supposedly breaks this or that and is a hack. How one DSP sounds vs. the other is completely subjective and is not what I am questioning.

What exactly does Viper break? Yes we all know Viper needs SELinux set to permissive so that can be considered something breaking. I would imagine low power playback as well. For many(I would even say most) users, streaming services are the main form of music playback. As far as I know you have to be using Google Play Music and the music has to be stored on the device for low power playback, meaning many users wouldn't be getting the benefits anyways. Personally I really like AudioFX and Google Play Music is my only music player. Even listening to pinned albums I still get the same battery use with one vs. the other though. I think Viper does software rendering which means processing bypasses the on board DSP? Does the CAF Audio Experience with AudioFX allow higher sampling rates? I enjoy both softwares and go back and forth between them regularly.

Subjectivity aside, I'm just curious from a hardware/software standpoint what does AudioFX and CAF allow that Viper4Android doesn't?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CTown:
Hi,

I was on a over two month old 5.0 caf nightly till today. So, I upgraded to the 502 nightly that I had sitting around for two days (I never got to flashing the right recovery till today and got sick of messing with the install script). Google Play Services kept crashing. No matter what app I used, I got an annoying dialog blocking all input every second. I tried deleting the addon.d folder from recovery and I tried reformatting system before installing the 502 nightly and the gapps. All I worked was reformating everything but internal storage and starting over. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Gapps used were the "arm" version listed in the cm wiki. They worked after flashing clean: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
Would have been OK of you used banks gapps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mircea1965:
it's to damn quik

everything looks to go very well, and, for a very short time, 1/4 second, tou see, in red, "failed", only if you are very attentive , and the phone restart and begin to bootloop
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] themacroe:
In twrp after the update it flashes failed on my screen but after reboot it rebuilds the android platform and the updates have succeeded I have always wondered why it says failed for that half second
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dannyella:
I'm on same nightly and same gapps. No issues so far.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
This shouldn't happen. Reflash CAF TWRP, redownload ROM and Gapps (BaNkS), full wipe and reflash everything.

Hello, I have freeze on lock screen with version of yesterday (2015/05/05).

Enable to unlock, I must do a long press on power button to reboot.

Is this bug corrected in version of today (20150506) ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Good point. I'm not an audiophile and I mainly listen to podcats. Even if I did notice a real improvement between from CM AOSP to CM CAF sounds, the sound quality and the customization are still below V4A.

However CAF sounds does not need a permissive SELinux and it's enough for what I'm listening to. V4A was my only app which needs to switch to permissive. Its development is on hold for a while and we do not really know what are the projects of ViPER520 and zhuhang for the future.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] db77:
Hello,

Is it possible to set the value in % from which the led is green when battery charging ?

If yes, how do that ?

I have used a rom where it was possible (maybe Terminus ? I don't remember...)

Thank you in advance !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] db77:
Yes, it is better and don't miss to flash TWRP CAF also otherwise you have to modify updater-script

Really? Because the information is available in OP

Nope. Already installed under Android WebView (com.android.webview - version 39 FYI)

I think there's a huge battery drain in the nightly may 3. "Android system" used 12% , nearly touched the phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Read this thread then update your phone ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fluther:
Had another spontaneous reboot lastnight with the 05/05 nightly. Couldn't grab a log though, I'll keep an eagle eye out for something similar today.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
The RRs might be kernel related, i flashed rachanta's caf racerkernel and had no RRs forma almost a day. Will keep checking
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
Totally agree. CAF AudioFX is way more than capable for what most users need. I actually have been using it more than Viper since jumping to CM and have almost got the eq dialed in to what I had going on Viper. It is a really viable alternative.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
AudioFX (and DSP Manager before it) have been in my "remove app" script since the beginning of time, which I run every time I flash. The last time I ever used DSP Manager it was nowhere near capable of the sound customizations available in Viper. Even now, I don't even us the EQ, but rather, a combination of the various other options it offers.

Is AudioFX really a lot better now than the good old DSP Manager? Does it provide more options than just an EQ? A screenshot of the app would be nice if you have a moment to take and post one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vercety974:
Here the apps I have disabled :

Do you think I'll have any problem ?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
No.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
I think AudioFX is much better than DSP Manager. That's just my opinion though. DSP Manager would give distortions in bass and high frequency sounds like hi hat cymbals and strong S, P, F, and T sounds in my SUV. They happen with every DSP I use but happen much less on Viper and AudioFX.

My main go to standard settings on Viper was Acoustic eq and the Pure Bass+ set to 80hz at 80db. The attached screenshot what I'm running on AudioFX right now. I listen to everything from death and black metal to Lykke Li and Lana Del Ray lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bjoswald:
Just an FYI for anyone who doesn't want to mess with old releases of TWRP-CAF or fumble around with the updater script:

Fluxi's androidfilehost account has a CAF-supported build of CM recovery. I believe it's dated at 3/6. Anyway, just flash that with fastboot, then make sure you enable "update recovery" in Dev Options and voila. Fresh recovery in no time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cocchiararo:
Is that recovery any good? I installed an unoficial caf twrp updated to The latest veraion, but having recovery up to date with the ROM seems nice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bjoswald:
It's fine for basic tasks like upgrading, wiping, etc, but if you need advanced functionality like repairing filesystems, fixing permissions and etc, keep TWRP. My suggestion was more or less directed at the "What's the difference between AOSP and CAF" crowd, who just want to get up and running.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
Thanks for this. I knew myfluxi had this recovery in his account but didn't know that it would be updated through the developer options.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bjoswald:
You're welcome. Hope it cuts down on TWRP confusion and gives people some choice.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jerunk:
Anyone else have any issues with data on today's nightly? Just reverted to 5/5, will test today's again soon.

Edit: Just reflashed, no issue with data.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
Thanks for that. I guess I'll stick to Viper for now, because I don't think AudioFX will be able to do what I use (spectrum extension, Viper clarity, and Dynamic System).

Edit: on the other hand, I might give it another try since I have started using much higher quality M4As on my phone, so some of those might not even be needed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
No those functions on Viper are not reproducible on any DSP I've used other than Viper.

TIP: To sort of replicate Spectrum Extension, and Viper Clarity play around with the 14k and 230 sliders in AudioFX. These two sliders will make the biggest difference in the clarity. The 230 slider can add to heaviness of the tone but also introduce muddiness. The 14k slider can help open up or close the sound space.

I just recently did the same thing. I realized Google Play Music had a lot of poorly ripped quality music uploaded from my home computer. I just did deleted my entire library and any music not on All Access I'm uploading as FLAC. Changing to a higher quality source material definitely made a more noticeable difference than any eq setting.

Towards the middle/bottom of the page is a really good introduction on how the different frequencies will affect the sound. http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/eq-explainer/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CTown:
Good to know. I also did try using the "minimal edition" package set up by jabj. I got the same error. I just went with the gapps package blessed by the CM wiki after a clean install to minimize potential for things to go wrong!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] djsubtronic:
Thanks for the tips. I understand all about sounds and frequencies (I do a lot of audio production/music work ;) ), I could just never get it to sound as refined as Viper when using simple EQ adjustments. Viper somehow seems to do it without clipping/distortion, and that's what I loved it for. Especially back in the day when the volume output on headphones was pretty soft even on maximum volume, Viper could apply over 6dB gain with zero clipping/distortion. The volume is a non-issue now with CAF though, and while I've been putting much higher bitrate media onto my phone over the last few months, Viper is still handy for the older stuff!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] el_smurfo:
All you DJs talking back and forth about the nuances of eq settings, and here I just delete the eq altogether. BTW, the last 2 nightly builds have been essentially perfect for me...nothing I'm missing, no crashes, slowdowns or bugs, performance is great...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Agreed. CM CAF 12.1 is now the cats meow!:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Actually - as soon as CAF is up and running - you can use the 'normal' Cyanogen recovery (not myfluxi's version on AFH <- this is only needed for initial installation of CAF ROM). I'm pretty sure AOSP and CAF zip contain the same recovery.

As far as I've understood: Cyanogen recovery doesn't check if the ROM update is for hammerhead or hammerheadcaf but rather simply checks if the zip matches the currently installed system. So it can flash hammerhead zips if you're currently running AOSP and flash hammerheadcaf zips if you're running CAF.

Wow, hope this is somewhat clearly...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kenshin33:
it doesn't check anything, it is the updat-script (in the ota zip) that does!
