Hi everyone. I want to use fakenexus rom but there is 2 problems.

1- kernel that comes with rom's itself is not that good. Device heats overquick. So I'm waiting for your kernel advices. I think stock lollipop kernel was the best. If anyone give me all of the stock kernel parametres, I'll be so happy.

2- google cam2.7 has problems. I want to replace it with 2.4 version but es file explorer gives there is ni space error. What can I do? My nexus is rooted btw.

Hi there, I'm using this rom since last three months. However encountered few problems;

1. GPS not working accurately most of the times, even some time the blue dot in google map pins my current location 500-600 meters away

2. phone can be powered-off even when locked

3. device gets warmer, though this happens rarely

4. network signals drops quite often, I missed several important calls due to this :(

other than this I love this rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blacknikname:
problem is with last TESTING rom/ flash 8 january
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hasan.ali:
I am currently using Feb testing rom, but this problem presists in all versions. Even in atable releases.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] josito_theDH:
Hope this amazing dev can do this amazing rom with Android N for nexus 5 when It will be released officially
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
1) Not sure what could be going on here

2) This is exactly how the phone is supposed to behave. I am currently on stock 5.1.1 and you can turn the device off even if there is a screen lock passcode (or pattern or password)

3) The Nexus 4 has always been bad about getting hot. I experience this on stock 5.1.1 just having the screen on for more than 15 minutes (web browsing or playing a game). This is pretty well documented along with the yellowing of the screen in the corners when it gets hot from use.

4) Make sure you have the correct APN for your cellular carrier. When I was using this ROM I had to update the APN to use the latest parameters for AT&T, otherwise my connection was ****.

Update about my opinion for this ROM

Hi everyone. If you check some of my previous comments about this ROM you'll see I was really pissed of about problems I had(random reboots and SOD) and I even said I'll never use the ROM again. I want to apologize to developer of this ROM for my words as simple kernel change solve all the issues. I am running hellscore and didn't have any reboot or SOD. Even youtube works fine now without any freezes or crashes like it was before. So is it possible that different kernel could change so many things?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
Definitely possible
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Thrikiller18:
Wooo hoooo march security updates are out. Now let's wait. Patience everyone
[Nexus 4 Android Development] el_charlie:
I had this rom with the stock kernel before I sold it and my GF has this ROM, too. Zero issues.

Sometimes apps misbehave and you have issues. For example, the first versions of Crossy Road gave me SODs, so I had to reboot the phone after playing because it caused me that. I confirmed many times. Uninstalling the app or force closing it solved my problems back then.

Some apps do weird things. Not always is the ROM's fault.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cimbajunior:
I'm always using same apps and I didn't have issues on other ROMs except this one. But as I said everything is fine after changing kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Thanks for the March update, [MENTION=6117313]ganachoco[/MENTION]!

Just flashed my phone. All looks good so far. Only observation is that whenever I've updated in the past, every app has been 'optimised'. This time only three were. Is this normal?

Many thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ganachoco:
Thanks for report.

And I found there are some sources that are not synced properly. :(

But I cannot fix right now, cause my personal work.

I'll update new revision tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DMA2013:
It solves the problem of synchronization with Android Wear 1.4 Marshmallow?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] .stendeck:
Hmm… that's interesting. I could have sworn that I had the same situation ("not every app has been optimized") from updating January to February builds. So I thought that could be a normal behavior, when there are only small changes between builds (e.g., same kernel).

But maybe we should wait for a proper build right now?! :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ganachoco:
Theoretically, if there are no changes in java api signature , dex optimizing step is not needed. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] slybunda:
this using dalvik or art?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nplatis:
Dalvik has been replaced by ART since Lollipop!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Just flashed the 9th March build. 82 apps (which I presume is them all; I haven't counted :D) currently being optimised. Thanks, [MENTION=6117313]ganachoco[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] srb2015:
Doing the same - many thanks indeed for continuing these

updates ganachoco. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Thrikiller18:
I know it is a dumb quesion but please forgive me. What about porting n developer preview to nexus 4. Is there any possibility? And many thanks for this rom again
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nplatis:
I guess this would be difficult, since this ROM is based on the Nexus 7 (2013) ROM and Android N will probably not be available for N7 -- the developer preview is not.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Been running the 9th March build all day, and no problems to report. Great ROM as usual! :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cholm:
When I said

Yee-haa - yes it (Mar/09/2016: 20160309 (testing)) solves it - at least for me with an LG G Watch R!

I spoke to early - the watch was connected via WIFI - see also bug-report.

I still do mean

Kudos to the Dev
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DMA2013:
After updating to build 20160409 you did a wipe data? To me it does not work yet.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kurtschmeichel:
I just flashed the march update without any problems so far (via "fastboot update …").

So I simply wanted to thank you for your great work.

BTW. My first post here on XDA.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DaiTeM:
Hi, thanks for this stocky-flavoured rom...much appreciated! I dirty-flashed Feb beta from stock 5.1.1 (re-installed 80% of my apps, to suit new Marshmallow permissions), and recently upgraded to March 8 beta.

Phone is snappy, everything works (location was initially completely wrong, solved after turning on Wi-Fi into location settings), standby time with Aggressive Doze (Greenify) is much better than Lollipop. :victory: Unfortunately, with both builds, battery hugely goes down when I'm using the phone (doesn't matter if on Wi-Fi or 3G)...I cannot get past 2-2:15 SOT time, with stock Lollipop I got minimum 3+ hours. Already installed Wakelock Detector + BBS, no rogue apps or services (just my normal daily use)...even reduced max frequency to 13** Mhz, but got no benefits apart from temperature.

Is there anything I can do to improve this? I tried to flash Hellscore Kernel, but that makes me lose systemless root (and viceversa, if I reflash latest SuperSu stock kernel comes back) so...I don't know what to do. :rolleyes: If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated! :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
I'm finding the same - doze time is great, but system on time is poor. I used to go a whole day (8am to 10pm, say) on a charge, but I'm having to recharge after only a few hours now. As I've said in previous posts, the screen is consistently at the top of the battery stats. Setting the brightness manually helps a little, but not much.

I've not tried any other kernels, so can't comment on those.

Does this ROM use any components from the N7 that are related to the screen? I'm wondering if the stats (or something else) is based on it being a tablet screen instead of a phone one.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cimbajunior:
Hi how's your phone idle time combined with SOT? For example: If you have about 1 day in idle and 2:30 SOT it's ok for Mako. I always have about 3:30 SOT with default kernel and 3:50-4 with hellscore. Also i noticed there are less wake locks on default kernel so idle time is better than hellscore.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
So I installed the Feb/02/2016 about 2 weeks ago now and figured I would post thoughts. I came from stock 5.1.1 (was hoping I would get the Android Pay offer to get a free Chromecast from using Android Pay 10 times before the end of February. Never did.).

I went ahead and used the wipe option to start truly fresh. I think battery life is a bit worse than stock 5.1.1. I have not rooted or anything. My cars phone system now, as it did in older versions of Fake Nexus Rom, still only shows the first 3 numbers of an incoming call instead of showing the entire number or the contact name. On stock 5.1.1, it shows the contact but stock has goofed up and shown the phone number instead of the contact name. Not sure if this is a Marshmallow issue or this rom. There is still a bug with the volume controls where the arrow down button gets off screen (see attached). This problem has also existed since I first started trying it out, but a reboot fixes it until it comes back.

Still love this rom though and I really appreciate the work done to make it a possibility. It allowed me to continue work on my app and be able to test for new Marshmallow features without having to buy a device, so thank you!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
Exellent rom! I was looking for something like this. I'm testing and enjoying it. I haven't found bugs yet. I hope to you continue improves it. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DaiTeM:
Today battery discharged even faster, see screenshots: lot of use @ morning (with battery saver) and evening (without battery saving), almost no use on afternoon. :(

Gonna try March 9 build tomorrow and see what happens...but I feel that globally, my battery is discharging faster than Lollipop (gorgeous standby, much faster discharging on active use).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cimbajunior:
You are on 3G whole time? I noticed my battery sucks when I'm on 3G with any MM ROM or kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] paolocorpo:
Ciao to all

I have just now updated to the last version 9th March

As forecasted all the app have been optmized > OK

After the first boot to the system I have rebooted to fastboot mode in order to flash recovery (3.0.0.0) and after the root (2.68)

After the first boot (and at now after every boot and after every recovery from standby) all looks well but every thing i do (for example push the menu button or other thing) I receive a error message that says that APP GOOGLE has a issue

If i tap OK nothing happens and all is OK (or looks so)

Is there any workaround ?

Many thanks

Paolo
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Andy2016:
I had this problem too. I reinstalled the latest version of "Google App" discharged from "apk mirror", now I have no problem.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] paolocorpo:
Many thanks mate

What is "apk mirror" ? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
My firsts impressions were goods, the rom is very stable, but the battery drain in use is high, worse than lollipop. I flashed AK Kernel (without root and any extra feature) to test the battery life and will make a feedback soon.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Andy2016:
APKMirror is a site where you can download the APK of all applications, upgrade to the latest version, including the Google app.

Search APKMirror on Google.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] paolocorpo:
I did and founded it ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] srb2015:
Bit of an odd issue to report - having used this rom since it appeared, on my own phone, with no major issues, I decided to flash my wife's. Same phone, bought at the same time. Like mine, was previously running stock lollipop.

Flashed in exactly the same way I did my own. It booted normally and I restored everything as was. All was fine until she went to make a call. While the person on the other end can hear her, there is no call audio going to the phone's earpiece. It's fine on bluetooth or headphone and when dialing, the dial tones can be heard on the ear piece, but for some reason there is no call audio at all. As a work around if she answered on speaker phone mode it was fine. Now, she doesn't really use the phone for calling that much, so it's not the end of the world, but I spent the last few days searching for a answer and found there have been issues with the Nexus 4 and this kind of problem before. Spent yesterday going through every solution I could find here on XDA and "elsewhere", one by one. No joy. In the end I did a factory reset, same problem. Flashed it through every version of s/w on the Nexus s/w page, same problem. Running lollipop, I rooted and disabled "check in services", same problem. It's not a fault with the speaker, as it is working for everything else, other than call audio. I looked at the various audio configs I could find in the system folder and compared to those on my phone - can't see any difference between them. Tried swapping sims - we are on different providers, no difference. Really at a loss to explain this. Late last night, I returned the phone to latest Lollipop update and installed "soundabout" app - if I route the audio to the speaker, both earpiece and speaker work. Not ideal for personal calls, but at least the phone is easy to use again.

I'm at a loss as to why this has happened - but thought I would mention it just in case it happens to anyone else.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lucena:
Great ROM, highly recommended for a stock experience

I used january's stable build for over a month and now am using the latest March build. Both rock solid, no issues at all. Can't thank ganachoco enough!! Great work keeping the N4 rocking!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Sounds like a hardware issue. A faulty headphone socket, or something jammed in it maybe?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] srb2015:
No, not the socket, the speaker is working fine, if you dial, you can hear the dial tones beeping away, just at the point it connects the call the audio just vanishes. "Atmosphere" is still audible in the speaker if you turn it fully up, so it's not going mute as such, just no call audio. I don't think it had even had headphones plugged in to it before I did a few days ago. The phone was working as normal until I updated it. I am wondering is it related to a bluetooth issue. My wife had used it in the car and perhaps it thinks it's still routing to the bluetooth out. Anyone know where exactly the call audio path config options "live"? I have looked at anything I thought might contain a clue in the system folder, and compared to my own phones settings, but possibly I'm looking in the wrong place....

Thanks for the replies, by the way, as I said I'm not saying it has anything to do with this ROM, my own phone has been using it for months with no such problem at all, I really only posted in case anyone else finds the same thing happens to them.

Build 03-09-2016 Testing.

Playing YouTube videos still causing problems with system stability, random freezes and closing Interface System.

Not problem App Youtube, after closing Interface System, this System stable.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dieselnutjob:
Do you have the same baseband versions?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
I have a question... Is this rom a port of any other phone, a compilation or just a rom aosp with GApps added?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JeJoye:
As I know in additional to rom aosp with gapps you need also kernel. And this rom using modified nexus 7 kernel, that allow to use this rom on nexus 4. And if you want use rom on any other phone - for first you nee to get compatible kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] srb2015:
Yes, both exactly the same. Only thing I did notice is that my Wife's phone is the second issue Nexus 4 with the little "stubs" at the end of the phone, had never spotted that before!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cimbajunior:
Try wiping youtube cache
[Nexus 4 Android Development] webg3brasil:
Tks. I will test it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
I don't profess to know much about Android, but could this be a reason why the SoT seems worse than on L?

ie If the kernel thinks it's driving a 7" screen and/or has a 4325mAh battery, its getting the stats wrong?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JeJoye:
modified nexus 7 kernel
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Yes, I get that... But is the screen/battery modified correctly to suit the N4?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ganachoco:
N Preview sources are not uploaded yet completly on AOSP. (Only some parts of components are uploaded.)

And there are many changes in bionic linker(namespace supports) and it could break ABI(binary interface) and It should be difficult point for port N.

Please see http://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes.html#ndk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] cimbajunior:
But it'll be easy to port N if they release it for N7 right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] S0NB:
Same issue here. Every time I watch a video it freezes the whole system. Deleting data doesn't solve the problem, even clean flashed the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ganachoco:
Nope, because all of drivers are not same with N7 (audio, camera, etc).

And there is no voice RIL(telephony driver) for N7.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
One thing I noticed on all builds but I didn't mention yet, when phone gets improperly shut down the settings for sounds like ringtone, alarm and so on get lost. Just a 3 digit number is shown then and no sound are being played...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sidnoit22:
You are a really talented developer, do we have some hope for the N port? :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
How long do you have to watch a video before this happens? I can watch at least 10 minutes of YT videos without any problems. Have you rooted or made any mods to the ROM after flashing? I am running it as stock on the February release right now and started it off with a full system wipe.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gutosilva:
What really change by "Mar/09/2016: 20160309 (deprecated)" to "Mar/21/2016: 20160321 (testing)"?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
As the changelog says, kernel security update
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Just flashed the 21/March update. All good so far. No app optimisation, but I guess this is normal if it's just a small(ish) security update?

Not related to this update, but my phone really seems to be struggling (ie very slow) to open apps etc nowadays. It's probably its age beginning to show, but if anyone's got an performance tips I'd be interested to hear them. I'm not rooted (yet), and completely stock.

Cheers,

Iain
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
Install busybox, run the commands in terminal:

fstrim -v /data

fstrim -v /cache
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iainfm:
Thanks, I'm not rooted though, so it's not letting me :(

I thought fstrim was an automated process, which was tuned to be more aggerssive in K or L?

Cheers,

Iain
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
Never heard of this before, but I just manually do it every month or more so it can't hurt. Just don't do it often, at least a week in between.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blacknikname:
[MENTION=6117313]ganachoco[/MENTION], hello/ nice work, some glitch i think with video codec, system hang on video playback (on video hardware acceleration)/ frezing... / camera orientation also/ sometimes...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] srb2015:
This happened to me once, but hasn't happened again, it was after I first loaded this ROM and added my own ringtown and alarm sounds back to the phone (they weren't included in the ROM). After a reboot, it lost the settings, but hasn't happened since.

I've only had one "black screen of death" since I moved to this ROM and I think that was caused by a geo-caching app which got confused by the phones location reporting. I removed the app and haven't had any "black screen of death" issues since.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alexinc:
Just to confirm, using my own ringtones too... :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JeJoye:
Is google camera 3 work well on this ROM?

Since few updates from the release?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] S0NB:
Well, it happens mostly after I watched a video, while scrolling down through the comments. Then it freezes and I have to tap the home button and wait till it comes back to the home screen. Actually it happened only once WHILE watching a video.

I'm not rooted, never flashed any mods. The only thing I haven't done yet is a system reset. Could it help, even if I did a clean flash wiping user data?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Im not sure on that one. A couple of weeks ago I flashed the February update and went ahead and did a full wipe on install from stock 5.1.1 and I am not having any issues. Just the other night, I played a video for about 15 minutes and spent about the first 7 minutes of the video scrolling through the comments looking for a web address that got mentioned in the video. I couldnt remember at what point it was mentioned so I was hoping the comments would say (they didnt so I just had to watch the video again). And I never had a crash or freeze or any issues. At some point I will update to the latest March release and if I can remember, I will report back if I have any issues. I have used this ROM on and off since November or so of last year and never had any issues with YouTube. I guess you could always try the full wipe option and start from scratch if you feel like taking the adventure.

Pretty much the only issues I have had is several apps having to be uninstalled and re-installed to function when I just did an update without wipe, a visual glitch with the volume changer (posted on that recently with screenshot), having to set the best APNs for AT&T, and 99% of the time my car BT system shows the first 3 digits of an incoming/outgoing call instead of the contact name.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] lukaszdomanski@gmail.com:
Hello,

[MENTION=6117313]ganachoco[/MENTION] - First, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you are putting in this ROM, I really appreciate it. In my opinion it is the best one I have tried so far.

Unfortunately, I am getting a strange behavior related to 3G connection - after a day or a few days (randomly) the phone goes off-line and it is loosing connectivity with the data network, voice calls works well, wi-fi is fine, the issue disappears after a reboot.

The last version that was not facing this problem was occam 2015-11-11.

In the link below I am attaching a bug report and some screenshoots - before and after a reboot.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw5zko2jfZV4ajh3a0VoWEtUbFU/view?usp=sharing

I hope that there is a solution to this propblem?

Regards,

Lukasz

[MENTION=6117313]ganachoco[/MENTION] hello! You think to solve the problem of not coupling between Nexus 4 with Fake Nexus and LG G Watch R with Android Wear 1.4 Marshmallow?

The problem concerns the Fake ROM because trying both the Stock that CyanogenMod does not occur.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] S0NB:
OK, I gave it a try and made a factory reset after a clean flash. Installed all updates, set up all apps and started YouTube. After watching two videos without issues (as expected) I started to slowly scroll down the comments section of the last video. This time it didn't freeze my phone. After 7-8 comments down it just crashed it, the screen went black and after 10-15 seconds the phone began to boot.

I don't remember having this issue in a February or January release. I would revert to one of them but don't want to loose the security updates. I even would go back to stock 5.1.1 if there wasn't this nasty Sleep Of Death bug.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xenyz:
For those having issues with video playback, try installing hells-Core b88 kernel and see if it helps? I've used it on Fake Nexus since the start and haven't had any of the problems others report.
