Well it turns out that [MENTION=413117]iason[/MENTION] wiped his hard drive accidentally... Back to the drawing board :/ Sorry everybody
[Nexus 5 General] Co.Tibi:
Oh, LOL...
[Nexus 5 General] starkly_raving:
Did you guys manage any screen shots or logs of the booted ROM before whatever happened happened?
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
No, we didn't. Screenshots definitely no, but logs might have [MENTION=413117]iason[/MENTION], but now he have nothing
[Nexus 5 General] neoofoox:
Doing the port again should be faster then the first try, you haven't lost your knowledge you achieved so far.

Keep up the work ;)

[Nexus 5 General] Co.Tibi:
Without meaning any disrespect to anyone, those asking for quick updates should pick up some knowledge regarding porting android. No one is getting paid to port anything, especially in a timely fashion, as some of you guys are asking. Just chill. Sooner or later it will come.
[Nexus 5 General] starkly_raving:
Personally I'm in no hurry...I had it on my N6P for about 35 hours. Its a preview and has all the issues one would expect for a verrrrry early preview.
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
You don't get the point of all this. It's no matter laggy or baggy that preview, point is just port it and run it.. And nothing else.
[Nexus 5 General] starkly_raving:
I fully understand the point of everything... I've been doing this since the G1 8 years ago...porting isn't what it used to be. Its far more difficult. I'm just saying people who are being impatient shouldn't be because its got a long way to go, I have no doubt the 5 can run it ... Especially with the new JIT components supporting ART.
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
So you have huge experience in porting? If you are, can you help us?
[Nexus 5 General] starkly_raving:
That's why I asked about logs and screenshots from the ROM that was reported as booting.
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
They are lost. Can I know your hangouts email, so I can add you to our conference?

[Nexus 5 General] Velkyrix:
If you don't want to hear my motivational speech, just read this shortened version: They did it once, so they will do it again.

Guys, no rush, If he did it, he obviously can do it again.

Think about it like this, at least we will get Android N Developer Preview.

Think about the fact that most phones wont be close to getting N in the next 8-12 months, and we will get it.

Maybe not from Google, but this is a Google phone, so porting it wouldn't be hard for devs.

Example, Nexus 4 got Android Marshmallow only a few days after its release, and the Nexus 4 was not listed to get Android Marshmallow.
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
We are still trying to port, but we are very doubt about that is possible, because hardware between LG nexus 5 and Motorola nexus 6 are very different...
[Nexus 5 General] metallikoh:
I wish there's just 6.0/6.0.1 M ROMs with android N features inside which I think it'll be much easier to make or am I wrong?
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
You guys really want a ported preview of android N. Think about why few developers are eager to jump on it. In the same thread we see demands of eta. If you just want to see how it runs, run it in an emulator on your build machine. Personally, it is not great or horrible, but it is not anything novel. A dev preview is for apk devs to test their products, not sure what you all are going on about. To those actually porting, good luck and thanks for sharing, but this thread is...
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
Well I am is developer, and I need that android N. And don't write me about emulator, it's good to see the system, but it's crap to test something
[Nexus 5 General] nazgul_ssm:
Why do you use dump from Nexus 6? I don't sure. but may be it is more logical to use the dump from the nexus 5x? Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X are made at the LG Compamy, so I think them hardware is more compatible.
[Nexus 5 General] aWpTiger:
5x is on 64 bits
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
Because only 32bit device is n6. 5x has 64bit kernel, binaries, libraries. 64bit cannot work on 32bit cpu
[Nexus 5 General] acevedo_92:
There is a problem, N5X is a 64bit processor :(
[Nexus 5 General] nazgul_ssm:
I'm sorry. I didn't know about it.
[Nexus 5 General] Velkyrix:
Also, when the day comes (if it will come) I am a open tester for the fact i have a spare nexus 5 that the sim doesn't work in. so i have a nexus ready for testing.

I wasn't trying to put you down, I was just pointing out that not many people are going for this. You are one of few, and I applaud your effort.
[Nexus 5 General] vladtsap:
So will be available the .zip archive to flash?
[Nexus 5 General] pompidoi:
no matter how many people would be ever so eager to volunteer for testing, it's too early to ask (and be too anxious) for a port. lol, it'll just show up when it's ready.:p:p:p
[Nexus 5 General] erichjelm:
Anyone else get this vibe going on here?
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
Nobody know when zip will be available. We are don't really know is that port actually real to do. So stop asking plz, if we get some news, we will share them here
[Nexus 5 General] dennes544:
Okay guys. Is I mentioned before, n5 and n6 have very different hardware. Now we got stuck on framework things, we cannot decompile it, edit it and compile it back, until apk-tool is updated to N, and it won't be updated until N source code is published. So we can't do anything for this moment. One thing we can to do is wait and hope that Google will release something for our device or wait for aosp code, to compile it by ourselves. Thanks everyone who tried to help us!
[Nexus 5 General] dekefake:
I confirm [MENTION=5499742]dennes544[/MENTION] says. Porting N is a pain, for that reasons. I would add the kernel issues I personnaly keep having. N introduced new Selinux restrictions to kernel, and we can't read kernel selinux anymore, as pre-N kernels, decompiling its ramdisk. The selinux contexts arnt anymore plain text and so, it can't be ported anymore.

Framework too now seems to contain more hardware related stuff than I expected, apktool has problems decompiling it, and we can't determine what exactly is new compared to that. For all that reasons, it's more reasonable to stop getting headaches on that, so I decided to stop it, as other guys here. Thanks for your understanding
[Nexus 5 General] ZenPluS:
ApkTool 2.1.0 is out today. I do not know if it supports Android N, if it did not, thanks for trying guys
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
The best thing to do is wait for a couple of months and we will have it as the last official update. And frankly speaking Marshmallow isn't that bad. I have used Android N, and all I can say is that it does have few bugs. And people have been reverting back to Marshmallow other than the developers. And either way we will still be getting the latest android first than other OEMs. Thank you to all the developers here for trying to port it. :)
[Nexus 5 General] ast00:
Somehow I feel like Google is intentionally making it impossible to port it...
[Nexus 5 General] bopolsz:
I guess so, maybe as Google knows that most of the Nexus 5 users are still sticking to this phone as far as development goes. When the development stops or soon shrink, we don't have a choice but to buy a new Nexus to experience the best of Android. Maybe that's what Google wants.

This phone is already old enough and Google thinks that we should change our phones as soon as possible and Google is making it hard for the developers to port this new version of Android thus leaving most of us no choice but to buy a new phone.

Sorry for my grammar and wrong usage of words.
[Nexus 5 General] fedpisano:
I believe that the Nexus 5 will still have a long life for many users. I myself have taken this nexus 5 for less than a month, 'I bought it used and for the price that I paid when I bought a new phone would have had half the power and would not even had marshmallows. I am confident that the source code will be released as we would on our Android N nexus 5.

[Nexus 5 General] WelcomeToTheSkye:
I knew people were going to start this. This isn't real. This is a tweak called android n-ify and you can even edit the build prop to say android N I am telling you now android n had no layers setting that would require a custom rom... Do not believe your eyes here I can show you the same thing...

I never seen that was N. Look, as i used a question mark. That was a troll, as many people didnt know N-ify. I didnt wanted to fake N, and if i would, i would remove the center clock, the layer, and my bottom right button to put phone to sleep, as my power button is dead. Ye, thats my post, and i dont like people speaking about stuff they dont have any idea.

I will not give up my nexus 5.

I will at least have it for 2 or 3 more years (part of it that I'm 16 and broke...and live in egypt)

Our beloved hammerhead and without exaggeration is one of the best ever android phones, for its initial price and for its current price(if you can find it)

(and i even dare to say; one with a community larger than the other high end flagships phones including other Nexis (is this even spelled correctly XP))

Sorry for the text wall ?
[Nexus 5 General] trsix:
off topic but

Off topic but what are you using instead of the power button. My button is dying on my day one phone. I want this to last another six months. i tried tap to wake, didn't work. thx
[Nexus 5 General] Eduardo C.:
Gravity Screen from Play Store is the way...
[Nexus 5 General] dekefake:
If u have a navbar, use Gravitybox's advanced button. Use tap that button to sleep and long press to power menu. Then use volume rocker to wake
[Nexus 5 General] Tagtag123:
Getting the power button replaced is not horrendously difficult.

In India, LG service centers replace it for ~350inr meaning 5.3usd inclusive of all charges.

No volume button wake (no excessive battery drain, you just press the volume buttons to wake the device.)

Replacing the power button and bringing your phone to good health is very satisfying.

Sadly I don't think Google cares what we "want" they're operating within the promised guidelines and have actually been true to their word.

Going to purchase a new Nexus phone so that we have access to developer previews again.

Any advice as to which of the current Nexus is the best choice at this point in terms of a Nexus will carry forward to future OS updates (e.g., still be supported for O developer previews next year at least). I'd like to get at least two years of coverage from the phone.

Suggestions?

[Nexus 5 General] springy:
According to the update policy, major updates will be provided to Nexus devices 2 years after release. An extra year or 18 months after the Nexus Device was last sold on the play store will provide security updates.

Nexus 5 was release at end of 2013 therefore it will not get N. The last security update we will get will be September 2016 for Marshmallow.

Unless the policy changes which I don't think it will, you can see Nexus 5 is coming to the end of life for support.

It does not matter if there are Dev builds out there for N, Google won't release it.

Yes, the Nexus 5 probably won't get Android N, but no one knows for sure. So better stop stating things you know nothing about. :good:

There's a really little chance that the Nexus 5 still gets the final release of Android N. We will see... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] HideTheCookies:
If you read the article you posted it said nexus devices will get updates for at least 2 years. So it isn't outside the realm of possibilities for us to get a N update. Also before that article was posted the N4 got updates from release 11/12 to 5/15 so over 2.5yr. The N7 '13 released 7/13 got its latest 6.0.1 4/16 so again well over 2 yr.
[Nexus 5 General] pgoelz:
Which would not bother me as much as it does if the replacement for the N5 was actually an upgrade. The N5X is bigger (not a good thing for me... the N5 is about as big as I want my phone to be) and loses wireless charging. To me that is a downgrade..... I LIKE my N5 and would be happy to keep using it for a long time. Fortunately, I may be able to do just that if the WiFi battery drain issue really is solved. If so, I don't really NEED Android N.

Shame for nexus 5 to not have n preview, while devices from other manufacturers are getting it and even porting it to older devices... And it used to be most developed phone out there. Shame for google
[Nexus 5 General] XeLLaR*:
This port could be done by taking the 6.0.1 Kernel from the Nexus 5, Ramdisk and rom from Z3, injecting N5 specific librarys into it and trying it out. An optimal way to approach dmesg/logcat to fix bugs would be via UART or USB with Android sdk (if usb works on first try)

Sadly i don't have a pc right now so i can't try it.
