Thank you for the reply. I use it for the exact same reasons. And I have it enabled, all the time, since kitkat (nexus 4 & nexus 5). It has never showed up on battery stats nor I have experienced any kind of battery consumption because of it. Also, in Krexus (and AOSP) it's enabled by default. I think we would have seen a lot of users complaining about NFC in their battery stats if it was eating battery.

Have you tried it, to see if that makes any difference?

Searching the net doesn't produce any researched results, just anecdotal ones. The only thing they agree on is that it consumes minimum battery when idle.

P.S. Given that I use it exactly the same, I can't help but ask, having to enable/disable it all the time before you use it, doesn't nullify the whole point of "quickness"? :confused: I am sometimes so bored to even touch the tag, I couldn't handle having to reach for the qs drawer for it. :p :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pablo0407:
Thanks for reply, yes you are right about the quickness, I assume it would take more battery, once a time I tried to keep it enable when I had a nexus 4, don't remember the ROM but even if it didn't showed up on the battery stats, the battery last less over the day. With nexus 4 I barely get a full day of use so I had to keep NFC off.

With nexus 5 I'd assume it would be the same, but I really didn't try it. I will now that you say, and have a better battery life. :D

can you added screenshoot toggle in quick setting??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
I can, but unfortunately I won't. We have already two ways to grab a screenshot, the button combination (Pwr + Vol Dn) and the Google Tap share button, I don't think we need a third one. And I don't think it applies for a stock-like ROM (how many users grab so many screenshots per day that need a button for it next to their wifi toggle?).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
[MENTION=3190122]KreAch3R[/MENTION] just to inform you about that search bar. I flashed your new rom posted the other day and i tested few things with search bar like you told me. And yeah, when you freeze app that can be selected as voice (or home button longpress), and reboot, your recents search bar will be back. Then you can just unfreeze the app, and search bar will still be there until you reboot again with that app unfreezed. So i would think its that app problem or google problem. Most likely google problem but maybe just in aosp. Because i didnt have that problem on december factory image.

my statistik.....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
Oh how i hate google for this:

Got mcs_heartbeat triggered 29 times per hour(really odd) because heartbeat is supposed to trigger every 15 minutes to 23 minutes maximum

Got gsm_send_message alarm triggered everytime an sms arrives which is a lot.

Consequently due to this prentious and huge wakelocks and alarms im getting from services which i tried to debug myself.. I went back to amplify(which i said i dumped due to testing purposes on g+) now im quite sad because i cant continue my krexus stock experience anymore. How i hate gplay services

Btw anyone here on blu_spark kernel? :3 please comment below. Running great on blu_spark and im still testing the wakelocks of this kernel. Elementalx was a blast in krex unfortunately i had to ditch it because blu spark has an updated f2fs tree
[Nexus 5 Android Development] db77:
I'm with blu_spark but not f2fs and all works fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
Yep everything works fine i just want to know if there was a fellow among users here who has blu spark f2fs and krex rom :3 im glad im not the only one!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
I use F2FS, but elementalx kernel. ?✌
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Creative9170:
Is there need to format /system as F2FS to use F2FS? Or data and cache is enough?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
Data and cache is enough since lp up to m there is not yet a f2fs compatible rom.. Doing so will end yours in a bootloop

[MENTION=3190122]KreAch3R[/MENTION] so i tested led light problem too. It seems like system is every now and then killing my app for setting led lights even after i disabled optimisations for it. Because when i launch the app, leds for apps are working, and after a while, just nothing. Even system one is not working. And i cant make battery led to work with the app, only with your built in toggle which has fix parameters.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
Thank you for your excellent debugging. I've been following your posts and making my own, too. I don't want to merge the notification light color changer, as I have said before, so what matters for me is:

Krexus shouldn't deviate from stock behavior

This means that, stock has some color options, krexus should have some, too. The Light changer app is working on stock, it should work on krexus. If it's not working on stock, it shouldn't work for krexus (unless I come up with something that can fix it). (I haven't made that test yet)

As I have said, you can change the colors easily with a Layers overlay. I am just too busy to make them yet

If it is deviating, fix it

So, if that Light changer app is not working on marshmallow on all roms and stock, then I can't do something about it. This needs testing across the ROM board.

Secondly, for the missing searchbar. You can replicate it on stock (did that yesterday):

I haven't had this problem for a long time now, it seems to be triggering only when you install/update apps which can mess with the Google Now shortcut (a.k.a assist apps). They don't need to be set as assist apps, and this is an AOSP bug. The "searchbar" bug appears after a reboot, because the background system, responsible for updating that & the Settings assist app toggle, doesn't work without a SystemUI reboot (another AOSP bug - or "feature").

If it happens to you again, just go change the assist app into "None", and change it back to Google. After the next reboot, it should solve itself. You don't need to keep the other assist apps disabled (at least for Secure Settings, that is).

Try Custom Quick Settings on playstore.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
Thats impossible because i tried it with krex and most roms.. Have you tried typing mount on terminal emulator and check the /system partition if it has f2fs on it?

Ive read a lot of things, guides and articles about f2fs and since lp (except slimkat roms) nobody had f2fs as a system partition because of the cons and maybe the complexity of it(you need to recode the meta.inf i think)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Creative9170:
I read somewhere in Reddit that you don't have to format /system as f2fs. Many people recommend against that because /system is read only and f2fs takes up more space than ext4. So it is a needless waste of space. You can just format /data and /cache.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
That is absolutrly true but i just want to try it for myself you know ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
That's a great idea!

It has been reported already in the community. During searching, I found that the same happens for every ROM which has the same code (and yes, it's almost the same everywhere I checked). I'm not particularly interested in fixing it, "kill foreground app" is in Development Settings for a reason, you are supposed to use it in specific cases (when an app is frozen or misbehaving etc). I highly don't recommend killing apps, but letting Android do the work (like so many articles, etc suggest). :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Creative9170:
Keep calm and be a GEEK :victory: good luck bro :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
Hey bro, You are correct.... When i checked my system filesystem it says ext4 now... So i think when i flashed rom and kernel it automatically changed to ext4....but i am 100% sure that my /system was F2FS at the time of flashing.. I didnt checked after that.. Sorry for wrong info bro..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
Another one: when an alarm is set and the notification shows up (I think 1h before it's supposed to go off)

When you tap the notification to dismiss the alarm, the icon stays in the status bar until you toggle it on/off again.

Is there anyway i could turn off the screenshot notification sound??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
This wasn't a krexus bug, it was an AOSP DeskClock bug (after HOURS of searching). I found the necessary commit to fix it, upstream, and it is this one here. :) But this is not the coolest part. Check this out! :D

I haven't seen it before, but the log message pretty clearly suggests to the Google engineers what to do to fix the app (Google Play Services).

Yes, by turning your phone to vibrate/alarms only/Total silence. (Why would you need a separate toggle for that?)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlazeForth:
Sorry it doesnt work out. Even in total silence/vibrate/alarms only mode there is still screenshot notification sound. And I mostly use vibrate only mode. ? ✌
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Yeah, its working on stock google factory image from december like it should, all settings for battery and apps are applied like i put them and they work without any problem. So maybe the app is interfering with rom settings you put there, and it causes both to not work correctly? Or maybe you have some more agressive background app killing setup? Its just guessing what i think it could be. Yesterday my app stopped to light up leds after couple of hours, and system led turned on (for gmail notification). So i again had to open light manager app, restart it, and it worked again.

EDIT: one more bug, i think. In developer options there is a setting to choose default usb behaviour. I choose mtp so it would always launch in mtp mode, but its not working for me. Do i need to turn off usb debugging option for it to work?

Sent from Pure Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
The mtp bug has been there since lp nothing we can do but there was a third party app developed for that but i forgot the name nor can i link it here
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
I just placed my phone in vibrate from the volume panel, and took a screenshot with VolDn+Power. No sound. I don't know how you are getting any sound. I don't have a second device to make a video.

I haven't changed anything else besides enabling charging light support (you can check the commits on github). I will try it too, but if you are saying that it works on stock then yeah, something is interfering.

It's not a bug, it's a feature (I'm not kidding). Google decided in marshmallow to kill any automated access to your phone's contents. I wanted to change it back and tried, but they have gone specifically out of their way to enforce it. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Haha, that google. Hmm, i remembered some rom had that option working on marshmallow, but i dont know what revision was it and what rom. Maybe cataclysm, but its not open source. I can live without it, nothing important, i just reported because i thought its a bug. Bug squashing ftw.[emoji14]

[Nexus 5 Android Development] d1n0x:
It depends on the way you have your phone turned. It only makes sense for the volume rocker to follow the path of the volume bar.

[MENTION=3190122]KreAch3R[/MENTION] more debugging with led lights. I noticed that app has function to place notification in notification drawer when app is running. So i did, to see if it will get removed (turned off). And guess what, it did. Notification was there for like 10 hours, then it disappeared. And i noticed leds were not working. So i think system is killing (background?) apps for some reason. It wasnt like that for sure on stock. Maybe because system is not odexed?

Sent from Pure Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
:confused: :eek: I have seen no indication that krexus specifically is killing background apps. Neither have I got any other similar report. Are you sure this isn't depended on your usage? Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to do the same tests. I can't keep stock for >10 hours just to confirm that it will kill the app, too.

If you want, take a look at the charging light commit. It is literally just an on-off switch, and I haven't touched anything else. The colors for example are already there in source, if I recall correctly, and the commit just uses them.

My guess would be on the kernel implementation of the always on led patch. I have noticed weird behavior on that vs the stock kernel.

If you really want to get to the bottom of this, try to flash stock on multirom and test there. Unfortunately for me, it us very low priority.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
I was using stock with blu_spark kernel before, and no problems. I flashed factory image just to test this, and its working on stock. I dont want to transfer stuff all over again for the 4th time haha. I dont think its led commit causing problem, maybe something else, but that would be hard to find. Ill go and ask developer of that app and kernel dev if they are aware of something like that. I would say that that doze function is killing the app when i dont receive notifications for a while, even if i removed it from optimisation. Ill report if i find something about it. ;)

Forgive me for asking if its been addressed before (as I'm new to Krexus and loving it), but are there any plans to implement custom notification led colors to the ROM itself? Wouldn't that solve the issue of these third party apps?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] phantom146:
Try to check with the dev if they have already updated it with android m since most apps are messed up atm specially with setwhileidle() and the new permissions. Doze may hurt the app a lot and as far as i know if it is related to android setting tweaks such as your led light, doze can ruin it. Horribly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Well, app got one update only, and it was working great before and after update on stock rom. But yeah, i would say doze is kinda messing with the app. Because i need to relaunch the app every couple of hours. Ill see if dev can do something about it.

Sent from Pure Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] KreAch3R:
I don't know what one can do, but I certainly won't mess with Doze, if this is the behavior google wanted. I can think of no reason why stock works differently (and I'll test it when I find the time, to check if it does indeed). While you were on stock, were you using a custom kernel?

Besides that, can you go to Battery -> 3dot menu -> Power optimize apps (or sth) and disable the optimization for this app? Let's see if that makes any difference.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Yep, i was using blu_spark kernel and it was working great. And i already tried to disable battery optimisations for that app, its the same. Ill contact app developer to see if he knows anything about it. Because in android (at least KitKat and up), if you put notification in notification drawer, that app acts like priority and its never killed by system. But this app gets killed. And i doubt rom can do that. Strange.

It's the stock google kernel. I highly advice to flash whatever else you like. I'm just leaving the ROM kernel-clean.

No they do not, but only because I haven't actually seen a usage for it these days. So instead of using an app, you use an init.d script set specific parameters on boot? This is useful. I'll check it out and I will probably add it.

"Charging" battery light color overlays

This is what I was referring to, when I was talking about changing system configuration with Layers overlays. I have attached 3 files, 2 layer apks and 1 source .zip. The names are self explanatory, xYx = yellow color in charging, xBx = blue color in charging.

You can use the source file to play around with how easy it is to create such a file for yourself. Download it, unzip it, and use the AIDE app to load it as a project and build it (obviously, change the color value hex code if you want to see any difference).

I am still deciding how I want to go with the charging battery led colors, but in the meantime, if you like to tinker, try those. :D

UPDATE: Added a "qs quick pulldown from the left" overlay

LED debug

Now, especially for [MENTION=3579148]alen1901[/MENTION]: I just spent my whole eveving (doing other chores in the meantime, don't worry) looking at how the Light manager app works on both the latest stock and krexus. And I found no difference whatsoever. To elaborate:

Charging light is lighting up in a repeating light up to fade out pattern, in both roms. In both ROMs, the custom color worked. This pattern counts as borked to me, but it's the same, so it's the app (I can't blame it, it already tries to do so much for an app)

Notification lights: I tried a couple of apps (deliberately creating useful testing notifications is very tedious, as I know of no app that can do it, so it was manual for me), and both light and frequency worked the same in both roms. Both settings survived a reboot. Specifically for krexus, to test all your references of ram killing the app, I even opened 30-40 apps one after another (whatever I had in my drawer) and on top of that, I played 20mins of a high graphics game (my hammerhead got roasted). I never opened the app during that time. The app's notification was still there, and the custom settings still worked.

I used stock + stock kernel, stock + blu_spark, and krexus + elementalX. Same behavior everywhere.

I can't replicate what you are getting. This is probably something on your end (kernel, tweaks, app usage, apps installed, combination of apps etc). And there is no evidence at all that stock or AOSP is different than krexus. I haven't merged commits which modify the default way AOSP behaves around apps, around doze, around battery, nothing like that.

I hope you find out what's killing the app for you and/or produce a repeatable pattern for the behavior you see. (Even grab a logcat at the time of killing). But I don't understand how stock was behaving differently for you. So I'm keeping this off my list.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Thank you very much for your tests. I didnt have time to test more, but next on my list are different gapps, different root, contacting the app dev, ill try to update greenify to beta version, maybe there is some bug with it so it kills apps not selected for that. and if nothing, i guess i will go to stock again to test. The only new apps i installed were some VR apps (4 of them) and thats it. And i dont use any tweaks, default kernel settings etc. All the same like before. So yeah, this is really strange behaviour. Thanks again for your interest, i apreciate it. Hope i will find a "fix". ;)
