No, they don't. They always recommend a clean install but say it should (key word here) be okay. They don't guarantee it will be perfect or work 100% of the time. Dirty flashing introduces a lot of variables to issues that are not present on a clean flash so why would they support those?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sognoone:
Well if I'm not the only one with the issue it SHOULD be addressed, I'm sick of dev's being dicks for no reason...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
The developers here owe you absolutely nothing. Make no mistake on that. [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] has made it pretty clear here in one of XDA's mantras: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16682226. Any software on XDA is offered as-is, the developers don't have to provide support but they chose to do so out of their own free time. I apologize if you feel offended by how the developers act here but if you are unhappy, feel free to find a different ROM. The developers can run their threads however they want within the rules (there's none being broken here). You'll be hard pressed to find a ROM that allows for dirty flashing bug reports (I know that I don't). If you want to debate this with me, feel free to hit up my inbox but right now, let's get back on topic of the ROM.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nickhell:
Hi, the BANKS Gapps link in the OP gives a 0 Byte file...

I checked also in DU website.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
The location has changed: http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/gapps/Banks/
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hairyson:
Are you able to use this ROM with Project Fi?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] drdrewdown:
yup
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Scutariu:
Is this compatible right out the box with Android Pay ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Scutariu:
-edit-
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ferdimage:
Is there a problem with the DU gapps? I did a clean flash of DU then gapps, but when I go to my google account to sync my contacts there is nothing under Google: (App data, Contacts, Calendar etc)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No. You just have to give it a few minutes to sync everything up. If you don't want to wait the few minutes, go into Settings and clear data for Contacts Storage.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ferdimage:
Thank you, it finally appeared!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] zaksween:
Ordered my Nexus 5x a couple days ago! I can't wait to flash!!!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] vaggelis83:
There is something strange happening with my Google play services. Although it says that is awake for hours all my apps, in fact my battery is very good. But I can't understand why this is happening. Google bookmark sync seems to be the problem.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
If the battery life is good -- I'm not seeing what the problem is..
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] vaggelis83:
My battery life is great! I just don't understand why it's happening.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I can't answer that for you as it isn't happening to me. However, like I said earlier -- there isn't exactly an issue so I wouldn't worry about it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Hey guys, I'm seeing if the grass is greener on the other side. I'm coming from Pure Nexus, wiped everything per usual when switching ROMs. After installing DU everything is fine, until I flash any version of gapps, even the one suggested in the first post. I'm getting Setup Wizard has stopped and Google Play Services has stopped. I've tried giving them both all permissions, clearing their cache, rebooting, clearing out dalvik and cache from TWRP. Am I missing something?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Have you tried flashing the du rom zip and gapps immediately after without booting in between? I havent had issues using the banks gapps or tbo gapps so I'm not too sure what the problem would be from. Are you using the stock unicornblood kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Yep, wipe then flash DU with gapps right after. Stock kernel, haven't changed anything at all.

Edit: Flashed newest Weeklies and wiped again, and seems to be working so far.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Jeppfi:
At 22℅ after 43 mins of sot. Stock kernel, no dirty flashing etc. Normal? Interactive for little and intelliactive for big.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Something else is eating your battery. I charge once every ~30 hrs and that's with ~5 or more hrs of SoT.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] datCalata:
Do you recommend stock kernel over phasma kernel? I'm tempted to copy [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] setup bc my battery life is pretty poor
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
That is a ridiculous question...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Jeppfi:
I've never achived over 4 hours of sot, and charge after 12-18 hours. Any tips? Start fresh again? Also, I tried to unroot, but looks like the app recognize that my bootloader is unlocked. Unroot and lock bootloader?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Do not lock the bootloader with a custom recovery installed.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
There's a thread for tips on what to do in the general section of the 5X subforum.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] datCalata:
Do you lose any camera quality with this rom?? It could be a bit of my paranoia, otherwise i'm loving this rom!!!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nemanjabgd84:
I am also thinking about that, because pictures with Bliss ROM for example were better.

CM camera I think
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] datCalata:
With Chroma Rom i think google camera was better. I installed the google camera APK, but still not the same quality as far as i see
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Camera quality is fine here. Don't know what you two are going on about.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 021adam:
Thanks for the great ROM. I try others from time to time and always come back to DU. You guys are awesome. Sorry if this has been addressed, but are there plans to switch to Substratum at any point? I know it's in the early stages, but I've tried it, most recently on the latest PN and it seems buggy af and more cumbersome than CMTE. One of the main things I love about DU, along w it's smoothness is CMTE, especially with Arcus options. Thanks again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Zackptg5:
It's already been addressed that DU will stay with CMTE so you have nothing to worry about :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
We have no intention of switching to Layers/Substratum. Will be sticking with CMTE as it's the better option.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tonyfeb95:
Quick question. I've been having an issue where my Nexus 5x will randomly go to sleep in the middle of me doing something.

Edit: Do I have a setting wrong?

Edit: Fixed by rebooting
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Scutariu:
The OFFICIAL[Stable] version requires the MTC19Z vendor ?

And if so, is there any way that we can figure out what vendor a version, or a rom requires ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It's a month-by-month thing. You go based on the month that the build was released in.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Always stock unicorn blood.

I can tell you that having Facebook and Facebook Messenger installed on your phone is more than likely the main problem.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Hey guys, i'm doing another clean install and want to try f2fs, but I don't have the option when going into TWRP. Am I missing something? Going to Wipe > Advanced > Data > Change File System. The other 5 are available, just not f2fs. TWRP 3.0.2.0
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Unicornblood does not support F2FS.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Oh! That would explain that. I was searching, and something I read triggered that it would be possible to use. Thanks for the clarification!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bleichtman:
Is flashing the vendor mandatory? Is there a link where they're all located?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
You can grab whatever vendor.img you need from here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=Bullhead&type=files or you can download the factory image and extract it from the package. I always just grab it from afh and search for our phones nickname which is Bullhead. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
Does unicornblood kernel has Dt2w?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You only flash the vendor image once per month. Also, I always post said image here when we release a new stable build.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mpetruzz:
I was thinking of turning on dt2w. Does it increase battery drain a ton??
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Probably. I've been contemplating removing it as the fingerprint reader is of better use and doesn't use any battery at all.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
That sounds to me it is native function of ROM. Means no kernel manager required to enable it?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
What is a native function of the ROM? Fingerprint?

If so, it's a native function to the device since it has a fingerprint reader.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] saturax555:
No please, it is usefull because the sensor is on the back of the phone, so when it is on a table...

I use Ex Kernel for this feature, I didn't know it was available with the given DU kernel. Where it is hidden? I need a kernel app ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yep. You can use EXKM, KA:M, FKU, etc to enable it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
I meant to enable / disable d2tw is built in the ROM Settings, or if kernel manager is required to do that.

:)

Edit: USB-OTG works with DU.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] stackz07:
I've read the last ten pages and the question was asked pretty straightforward but the answer was just it's posted here with the new builds. I cannot for the life of me fine out which vendor i need for the new build? I may be blind so sorry in advance if that's the case.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jabarel:
what build official or weeklies ? the vendor for DU for this lasts builds is MTC19Z the latest for nexus 5x is MTC20F ! the next official build will have the latest vendor i suppose ! I`m on the latest vendor and when i reboot i got that message to update vendor thats all

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

i have one question ! I`m on Lte my phone ring and i answer then switch to h or h+ automaticaly but if i speak more then 1 min the connection goes to g its normal? ! No animation to buttons from status bar when i press settings ,battery or profile !
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
At file size of nearly 440 MB of DU ROM, I assume the vendor image comes with the ROM, doesn`t it ? - or why is PureNexus 170 MB less in size ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] stackz07:
It seems every stable release the vendor image question gets asked. It might be best to put the necessary vendor in parenthesis after the android version in the change log, that should bring down the amount of necessary time wasted repeating q&a. Not calling anyone out or being ungrateful just thought it might be a helpful suggestion.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Honestly, it doesn't need to be asked at all. The date of the builds are pretty transparent as to what is necessary.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No, it does not come with DU. Never will.

DU is bigger because it contains more. We have a slew of our own applications built-in, whereas PN does not.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Sadly, I have no idea what you're saying.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] stackz07:
You're right. But regardless of transparency you'll get the question asked every release unless you just add it in the change log though.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
All right... then let's give it a try :good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Rekan_:
Thats normal and happens with every network that doesn't support LTE Calling.

TR gapps have been updated and vendor images are also now in the OP, which will be updated monthly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Scutariu:
Thanks OP for latest official.

Quick question, how do u guys delete the location history?(With every clean install, another one pops up)

I have tried to clear it from the obvious button, but that doesn't do it.

PS: I have attached a photo.

Cheers.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Carach_CZ:
Thank you for the update, in thinking about DU as my daily driver. I only need to know if camera is the same quality as the stock one. :)

Edit: some recommended kernel by the way?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
Guys, I love this ROM. It brings back the smoothness I loved with G2 + BrokenOS before. Thanks a lot.

Is there feature like life display called in CM or do I have to substitute with CF.lumen?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jabarel:
when press on settings button from here don`t show that button was pressed same for baterry .
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Thank you for adding the vendor.img to the OP.

Same quality. Any custom kernel is fine. Stock Unicornblood kernel is preferred and only kernel to be discussed in this thread.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You'll need to use CF.Lumen.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Works fine for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
I hate to ask and beat an already dead horse. I'm getting the Theme has stopped working, I've tried clearing the data and cache out of the two theme system apps, as recommended, to no avail. Any other ideas?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
What were you doing when the FC happened?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Whenever I go into Settings and click on themes it fc.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Did you clean flash the build? If so, did you allow Google to restore your applications? If you did -- that is the culprit as Google Restore system sometimes corrupts the Theme Engine.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Clean install. I must have let it do some of them. Wound need to do another clean wipe or would I be able to remove them and flash gapps again?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TheBurgh:
Did you try clearing data and cache in the theme engine apk?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Wiped both from themes and theme provider. I don't see anything specifically saying theme engine though.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TheBurgh:
That's what I meant. Doing this used to take care of this for me when I had fc problems.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
Yup. Gave it a shot through settings, just tried in titanium Backup. Same results.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TheBurgh:
That sucks. Nothing left but another clean flash then.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] xecuter2:
I was getting gapps FC until I switched to the latest banks gapps. I was using open gapps before without issues but this update and the latest open gapps gave me issues. Running great now!

Do i need a clean flash for the latest build?

If yes, how can i restore apps quickly without any issues?

TIA.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atemi1337:
As long as you're coming from DU already you should have no issues dirty flashing.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Zackptg5:
A clean flash is always recommended when updating and mandatory when switching to a different rom. Use an app like titanium backup or my backup to back up your apps. I only restore the apks for the majority of them because restoring data causes issues (most of them restore where you were when you sign in anyways)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MattyInkwell:
Sweet new boot animation! Appreciate all the work you put into this
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] atrix4nag:
Sorry, forget to mentiin that im already on DU.

The google dev image page does not have dates for their releases, and the du vendor image download has two vendor images which both have the same upload date. I am assuming the vendor image needed is mct20f.img? It doesn't say it anywhere else and the dates are not available to make this conclusion on my own. Appreciate the help!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
If you aren't sure, just download the factory file, extract the vendor.img and flash it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] stackz07:
Which one? That's exactly what I am asking. There are 14 listed on the google site and two vendors already extracted on the DU site.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
MTC20F
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
They are listed in order of release on the factory images page. The bottom one will always be the latest (and higher number/letter)

Download from attach ! Cheers :) replace it on system->media->bootanimation
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
Just replacing, or do I have to set permissions?

The available bootanimation.zip has rw-r-r.

But if to do so, pls also tell how... :confused:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jabarel:
install es file explorer grant as root ! go to system->media and delete the bootanimation.zip then copy the new bootanimation.zip and set permision like the old one

[MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION]

Holy crap, the new boot ani is awesome! Fantastic update as always, thanks for all of the hard work you put into making my 5x the best phone around. One question concerning the kernel, what exactly is adaptive low memory killer and is it worth enabling?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
To make a long story short -- Android uses LMK as a process that seeks out and terminates processes that eat up memory based on priority values, which are stored in init. Now the adaptive part takes that a bit further and tells the kernel to only send a SIGKILL sequence if the application is a) not a priority b) not currently in process and c) using memory above the aforementioned stored value rate.

It's actually enabled by default behind the scenes though -- dunno what app you're using for tuning purposes, but it shouldn't be indicating that it is disabled.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Zackptg5:
Thanks for the quick explanation. I use ex kernel manager. I also checked with kernel adiutor as well and it also showed it as disabled. No biggie as I just enabled it. My guess was that maybe the app data for the kernel manager stored in the android folder on my sd card carried that setting over.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] 021adam:
So, I installed a test build this morning that was released today and now it seems to have been taken down. I assume there was a problem w it but it has been running fine for me so far. ...?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No, no problem at all. It wasn't intended to get uploaded.

Also, test build chatter doesn't belong on XDA for the millionth time.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Meandi51:
Confirm EXKM shows for "adaptive low memory killer" as disabled. Did Installation by clean flash of DU10.5. Seems to be disabled by default.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lol0:
Hey,

So I just have a question. For some random reason, when I USB tether my wifi/data, my desktop and all windows apps seem to freeze or crash. An example, if you try using windows media player it would just freeze and not load but when you unplug the phone, it loads instantly. If you had WMP already running, it would freeze until you remove the phone. I don't know if it's just my PC or an actual bug with USB tether. It isn't a big deal now but I just thought you'd want to check it out.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
