With next nightly we start our own kernel for shamu.

For the start I implemented FastCharge and KExec(Multiboot)-Support.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Oh, this is getting fun! Thanks Martin.

Btw, I am still getting a few ads with the Host Blocker enabled, as opposed to using AdAway. Any noticeable differences between the two?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Sorry, this is a question you have to send to dave kessler (maybe via our g+ community ?) as he implemented the hostblocker.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
I wonder if it might be his way of avoiding the redirect blocking. Anytime I've used adaway I can't open links from the Tapatalk app anymore lol.

Nice to see you round these parts again, Martin. Now let's convert some more mako users.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mwebb34:
I would like to change the color of the status bar clock
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alsgarage:
Great ROM, thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] miguelito18:
any chance to add incremental updates? :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Regarding random reboots:

We are working on them, fixed a lot of memory leaks in the last build, so the build from 7th should be way more stable.

These memory leaks are cm introduced, so it's hard for us to find them all.

Especially IncallUI gives a lot of issues, and it seems like cm isn't really working on it (maybe because they have different dialer on COS ?)

Regarding incremental builds:

We are currently testing some opinions in that department...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
I see you mention IncallUI, does that mean that it could be the source of the sometimes reboot following an incoming call?

I don't receive many calls really, just looking for conf about this :)

Thanks for the rom!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Yeah, seems that has been one of the issues. reports suggest it seems to fixed with last nightly...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
just some short headsup:

We have moved updater to playstore and dave has completely reworked it:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mega Montana:
Awesome
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
My new favorite DD ROM. Thanks for all your hardwork guys
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Rd. Vortex:
So, how's the stability and battery life of this rom on Shamu? I'll be getting my Nexus 6 next week to replace my dead OnePlus One. On OPO people were reporting random reboots recently and I was also experiencing them. Not sure if mine were caused by the ROM or by the fact that the phone was about to die. Kinda undecided whether to install Exodus or SlimLP on my new device when I get it. :D

Apparently something has been done to the random reboots based on this thread, but has the stability already improved?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
Can anyone help me out, my phone goes into what I'll describe as deep sleep after the screen goes off. And only option is for me to hold power button till it reboots. I'm running latest ROM and I can't get a catalog out yet
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hggadm3:
That sounds like a CPU issue. While I don't use this ROM I was reading up on it. Are you using a kernel with low minimum CPU setting. I know I had two ROMs that didn't agree with vindicator kernel's 35mhz low setting after going to sleep,and would do just as you described. If I set it to 98 I was fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
Thanks for the explanation. I'm using an app that does just that. I'll disable it and see if that helps

OK that did it for me. Thanks again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cracjackson:
I just flashed this ROM and I really like a lot only thing I noticed was that there is no camera app . does anyone have a apk for one or is there a flashable zip?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Been running this again for the past few days, not a random reboot yet.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

I believe the intention is to just download your preferred camera app from the play store.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nyreyn:
Is screen pinning working on this ROM? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sonofevil77:
First time on this rom and it is super smooth! Loving it so far. One request, could you add the aosp browser?

Also has anyone been able to get viper4android convolvers to work? I am on BenzoCore set permissive and have awesome player checked. All other functions work but no irs files.

seems to work just fine for me.....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] therazrguy:
Hi everyone, been running this rom on my n6 for a month now and I really love it.

I am currently running the 2nd Sep version of the rom, but I would like to know if someone can help me increase the battery life of my phone.

My phone dies in about 14 hours of use with only 2 and half hours of screen time whereas in the stock version, my battery easily laster 22 hours with 4 hours of screen time.

Any help will be appreciated, I don't want to switch to stock because then I will lose the customization of this rom.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Have you checked apps wise wether there might be something different you installed vs stock ?

Exodus itself normally has a good battery life.

Maybe changing kernel ?

We are currently working on a complete new kernel (based on m preview kernel) as some of the stuff we added to current kernel turned out to be not optimal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] therazrguy:
So you are saying that I should wait for a new update of Exodus when android m comes out for a better battery life.

And as per checking for every single app, trust me on this I am sure I am free of malware and I haven't installed any stupid battery eating app.

Right now I changed my governor to interactive and scheduler to zen to test out the battery life.

I will tell you the results in a few days. :)

Ps- I really like this rom, keep up the good work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Polv89:
I suggest hellscore kernel for now!!!!

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sonofevil77:
I'm getting crazy amounts of app FC's everytime my network changes from WiFi to lte or losing lte. Is this a known issue?

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] therazrguy:
Is this kernel the best kernel for you right now on n6?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Hmm, something's.... Different.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dipstik:
gratz on original development! (finally)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Thanks :) Yes, took some time, but after some discussion between our lead developer primedirective and the XDA team, we are now verified as "Orignial" :)

Regarding kernel:

No, of course I don't mean to wait for M ;)

With next build, we will have a completely reworked kernel (not M based for the moment, but still, completely reworked) that might help (for sure it gave me around 2K+ on Antutu).

Regarding F/C's:

I'm switching between two different WiFi-Network (home and enterprise WPA) and like 100 cell towers inbetween all day long. I use maps a lot on my travel from home to work and back (traffic jams...) and never have had a single f/c because of signal state switches of any type.

So this must be something on your side.

Have you done a clean flash or a dirty flash over CM (or cm derivate) ?

What kernel are you using, do you have installed something like XPosed ?

Maybe also a log might help to shed some light on this....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
This should have been in original development a long time ago.

Nice work guys ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Stroky:
Oh nice.

I love Exodus on the Opo!

I should install it on the nexus 6 from my girlfriend.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] frontlyna:
Is volte good for T-Mobile on this? Also does this include cm theme engine? Lastly, the unknown caller bug from CM, is this present in this ROM? Thanks all!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] LuRock:
Loving this Rom. Question? Is the little stutter in the scrolling normal or is it just me?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
never tested volte.

We are currently CM based, so everything what's working on cm is working on exodus (minus some bugs we fixed).

As CM has theme engine, so have we.

Regarding stuttering on scrolling:

What stuttering do you mean ?

I scroll a lot, but nearly never have stuttering, it's smoother as a babies a....

What I have sometimes is stuttering on big websites but that is

a) Webbrowser dependent not ROM

b) Mostly when it has to load something dynamically the moment stuff is scrolled into view (therefor network speed dependent). An very good example for this is XDA on Tapatalk...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
Love this ROM but I sometimes get the split screen issues. Is that possibly kernel related?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] toricred:
Any ETA on WiFi calling for TMobile working on this? I know CM doesn't have it, but I'll bet you guys could fix it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] symple:
So far this rom has everything I am looking for except for this minor deal-breaker. . . . .While using Titanium backup to restore my apps+data i noticed that some of my apps where not being installed. When I made an attempt to restore them separately eg. luckpatcher, freedom; upon installation with a notification popup stating "ContentGuard detected" ?????

Can anyone explain why this is happening. and how can it be stopped.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Exodus ROM has the new anti piracy code. Meaning you can no longer install apps such as lucky patcher....[emoji1]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
More innocently (I think) than lucky patcher, I noticed that I cannot install a modded version of Angry Birds 2 (a free game).

So I guess that's that ^^
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
LuckyPacher is blocked for sure don't know about Angry Birds... Maybe the Mod has implemented code in it that is detected ???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
Yeah, maybe although it don't install without error message.

Could be a bad download. I'll try again and see
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] symple:
It also stops freedom and even the mobilism app from being installed . . . . . guess I'll have to return to DU for now. :crying:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
Could be worse rom to fall back to :)

Probably there will be a switch for this feature someday?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Given these guys actually coded the feature, specifically for use in this ROM and simply open sourced it for other devs to push, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no - they will not ever encourage you to pirate apps by allowing you to disable the feature they intentionally coded specifically to stop users from pirating apps. Martin or Prime.. please do correct me if I've spoken out of turn and overstepped my boundaries.. but I feel pretty safe in answering this without asking the devs.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
I just bypassed the feature by force closing titanium back up and restoring the apps again. Worked for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
Oh yeah I don't mean for aps like Lucky patcher which don't have any other reason to be than piracy, but sometimes that kind of security catches a legitimate app that look to it like malicious or something.

I know it would defeat the whole thing so probably no switch *should* be made but that was my meaning there.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
No normal package should be blocked. AFAIK (I'm not actually involved in that feature) it only checks by Package Name, so I'm pretty sure Angry-Birds is not blocked intentionally.

Most likely it's an issue with Titanium Backup.

I have had similar issues way back because of wrong/outdated gapps package....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
Yes, I'll look into it. Definitely not important though.

Thanks for the insight :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] twcobra:
I think is a CM issue. Every CM based ROM I have tried I have 3 apps, Angry Birds 2 being one of the. I have to install from the playstore and then restore data. No problems on any of the AOSP base ROMS I have tried. No biggie though. I prefer some of the CM goodies. So a small extra step is just not that big of a deal. Especially if it keeps piracy down.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kipue:
Good trick, friend :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] twcobra:

Huh. I was just going to try this ROM and I hit the link for the latest nightly, then the download button at the top and using Chrome on my phone this is the message I get....

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] raresoul77:
16 hours for download is INSANE!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Yeah, the host probably keeps a fair share of people away to be perfectly honest. It definitely works better over WiFi.. Not really much to complain about though, paying out of pocket is no fun for anyone :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] raresoul77:
I tried over WiFi. Stopped the 1st DL for 16 hrs and tried again. The 2nd one said 23 hrs!

Yeah it doesn't matter of it's WiFi or carrier network, it's ridiculously slow. If anyone does have a mirror, that would be helpful through PM
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] orangekid:
I am going at about 8kbps, maybe try AFH or a more reliable server?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
I already mentioned this a number of times:

The server is very reliable but he is simply overloaded with all the downloads.

We have a min 200MBit connection, with a max of 1Gbit.

Last month we have had 10TB traffic.

Interesting sidenode:

Our alltime high has been 11TB but that was when we have had build every day/night. So still, also we build every second day now (with no builds on sunday at all), we have nearly the same traffic. That means that we nearly doubled the user count.

We currently work on openDelta as an Update solution (server side is already done, dave is working on the App side for ExodusUpdater), that will help a lot on traffic side.

But the server is paid by me alone and costs around 55$ per month out of my pocket.

With all donations I'm happy when I'm at +/- 0 on the end of month (last month it has been 58$ at all).

The next higher Server with min. 1GBit connection costs around 120$ so more than double of the current price.

And I'm simply not willing to pay that much for just a hobby.

Exodus 6.0 will be aosp based, therefore we will not start with that much devices (because of missing device trees for aosp) and hopefully we will have openDelta working then.

So most likely with start of Exodus 6.0 we will have less issues in that department.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
Thanks for explaining. Not being ungrateful for free awesome ROM, just seeing what was going on
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] orangekid:
What if you mirror on android file host etc to share the workload?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
:) I wasn't complaining either, I was just saying I couldn't download it and still can't. So not sure what a solution would be, just saying what I ran into. :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Glad to hear about the move back to AOSP for M, not sure why my tendencies push be away from CM, as they do and have done a ton for android, but I still prefer the AOSP ROMs.

Regarding opendelta, you might be able to resource the minimalOS team since they've been using delta since mako if you run into problems. No promises though, its been a while since I spoke to them lol.

And regarding the slow downloads, im gonna see if I can't DL a new build from a PC when I get home (had better luck on PC previously), I can put up a mirror when that's done though, if that's alright with you guys?

^^Edit: PC is gonna take a bit too, I would need to upload later this evening, if that's fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Exodus on an AOSP base. Sounds great , can't wait for M :)

Do I sense a move to layers perhaps?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
I hope not. Layers sucks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yellowman82:
Or you just don't know how to use it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
I know how to use it, still sucks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] KGroder:
I dont know how you could justify saying it sucks. It does the same thing with more options to customize. Works flawless in all my experience. I am excited about possibility of exodus with layers.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
You just need to learn how to use them....layers IS the future , get used to it....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigstunta101:
Future garbage. Theme engine will never die
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] an21281:
Looking forward to trying this out if I ever successfully finish downloading a build...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrcooter:
I too hope exodus NEVER goes to layers. Tried it. Hated it ...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MizzouBrent:
Layers are native to 6.0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Afaik Layers was already (partly) implemented in Lollipop. And yes, we plan to go the layers way as ThemeEngine is a resource monster (and a commit monster by the way too)...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yellowman82:
Instead of trying it how bout you learn how to use it you'll see it is much better then CM. Trust me I was the same way when I first tried layers I hated it but that's because I never really gave it a chance and learned how to use it but when I did oh boy it's a way much better experience when it comes to customization.

What's funny is that this reminds me of the lazy folks, like folks talks about how great Android is because they love to customize well CM yea is something easy very easy that it's something for the folks that likes to be spoon fed 1 button and bam that is it while layers is the opposite, it's for the folks that likes to venture around and actually really customize their phone to another level trust me I've been through it and layers became a much favor way of theming much better then CM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrcooter:
And that's it. I have used it. Played with it for days while trying out other ROMs. I clean flash my phone every week and it's just too much to fool with. I do love the customisation of options in settings, but the theme I just wasn't to set it uniformly across the board and forget it rather then going through all that but it's just preference. Could also be I haven't found those themes with layers that I'm glad I actually purchased like with the theme engine. Could be the ROMs not being Exodus that made me flash back having theme engine and love it. Ha. But I'll cope because I'm not leaving Exodus.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Just one small update:

Have worked hard on 6 yesterday and got it booting some minutes ago. There are still some issues here and there (like no radio, might be firmware related) but at least it boots fine :)

Oh, one thing that is already working: the notification LED :) I was able to take the code from 5.1 and ony had to add some library reference to make it work on 6.0 :)

test 6.0 build running good with 2.52 root and hells b8.

wiped data, system, caches. flashed radio and bootloader. flashed rom then banks 6.0 gapps, flashed chainfires modified boot image. flashed supersu 2.52,flashed hells core beta 8 m build. never got encrypted.

Beta 6.0 works great with gerar_f custom kernel and SuperSu 2.52 :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SurlyGnex:
I tried flashing Beta 6.0 and SuperSU 2.52 in TWRP. I already had the Marshmallow radios and bootloader from when I tried the developer preview. I got no errors during the flash, but the ROM will not boot. I get the initial Google splash screen with the open lock, then a black screen. I left it at the black screen for 20 minutes thinking maybe the boot animation might not be working, but it is not booting.

I checked the MD5 sum for the zip file and all was good. Any ideas what might be happening?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razrlover:
Boot image from chairefire, then supersu2.52, them kernel. If you want to use 2.52 SuperSU then you must follow chainfires thread for proper boot image, download zip, extract boot img, flash img in twrp, then 2.52.

Martin correct me if I'm wrong
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SurlyGnex:
Chainfire's modified boot image was the missing piece of the puzzle. However, I had to flash it after I flashed the ROM zip, gapps, and SuperSU. I tried flashing the boot image first and it resulted in a black screen (no boot). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. My phone boots now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
You have to flash a custom kernel after the rom as the rom has it's own kernel and overrides it, when you flash kernel first.

That's nothing special to chainfires modified kernel but something that is common for all custom kernels.

But be aware:

Chainfires Kernel implements 4.4/5.0/5.1 SEPolicy that has a lot of possible security leaks.

That's one reason we currently don't support SuperSu out of the box.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
New Beta is Online, you can find it here:

What do you guys and gals think about battery of exodus-6.0. I have some feeling it might be a little better than 5.1, isn't it ?
