[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prairie-dad:
I already thanked you for suggesting this, it seems a good idea. In the meantime, as long as no SMS app is included, I just wanted to ask how to do this, exactly. I used Slim all through KitKat and Lollipop, but since Marshmallow I have been on stock, unrooted. This is my first post since October of 2015. I'm about to root and go to Slim 7, and came across your post. I have never extracted an apk before, nor installed one through TWRP. I downloaded APK Extractor Lite, and used it on Google's SMS Messenger, so the apk is now on my sd card. Once I've installed TWRP (unrooted) and then rooted with SuperSU, I assume that I flash my new Slim 7, then flash the apk for Messenger...is that right? Can I flash them all in one go, or must I flash Slim, reboot, then flash Messenger? Hmmm...if I'm gonna use Google's two factor to log in, I guess I'd better be able to flash the Messenger apk at the same time I flash Slim, hadn't I?! Otherwise I won't be able to log in...?

your thoughts much appreciated.

Dave

Thinking about this some more...am I really going to be able to use the Messenger before I've logged in to Google with Slim? Never did this before, as I said, maybe the better idea is to get some fresh authenticator codes from Google first, and print them out? I guess I've only used two-factor since Marshmallow...I can't recall having this problem before. Or just turn off two-factor for the hour or so I'm doing this?

Guess it's time to fix that old, old .sig file, isn't it?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
This is not an ETA or anything, because I don't and can't know the intentions and workload of the dev(s) but this is the week of the month in which we usually get a new release for roms after security bulletin sources are uploaded. if I were you I would wait a few days till there is a new release, because you are not a person who upgrades every occasion.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
Good news is that the google setup process does receive the 2fa code via SMS even without an SMS app, so that's not an issue.

But to install the app from TWRP, I'd recommend copying the apk to the /system partition since you already have the apk on your sdcard.

1. In TWRP make sure system is mounted under "Mount", and deselect "Mount system as read-only" of course.

2. Find the terminal under "Advanced".

3. Type

mkdir /system/app/Messenger

and press enter to create that directory

4. Type in

cp /path/to/apk/name.apk /system/app/Messenger

to copy that apk to the new folder. The path would be "/sdcard/name-of-file.apk" if it is on the root of your sdcard, for example.

5. Type in

chmod 644 /system/app/Messenger/name-of-file.apk

to change the permission of the apk there to rw-r--r--

Now as for how I do it, I prefer flashing the apk along with my gapps package. So I've downloaded the "Stock" version of opengapps, and created a gapps-config file that essentially makes it close to the "Micro" release, but includes the Messenger app (and a few others I wanted), and excludes anything not in the "Micro" release. Read more on how to do that over here

And yes, Messenger is a standalone SMS app by Google, no need to log into a google account to use it. Just like the Google Dialer and Contacts app. Even Allo and Duo can be used before setting up an account on the phone, since they authenticate only with your phone number.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Swinger7714:
Hey great rom, been using it for a while as a main driver, very stable, good job!! Battery lasts for 2 days.

The only thing I've noticed is that FLAC files won't play, tried several players.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prairie-dad:
Many thanks for the instructions. The pointer to the opengapps config file article is very helpful, too, and I will certainly give that a shot. My last (ha ha) question is this: if the Google messenger is included/"includable" via opengapps and the appropriate config, do I need to bother with the .apk I've extracted at all? I went ahead and got some two-factor codes for authentication anyway (now unneeded, I see) so I don't need Messenger working right away anyway. Or do I then lose the old messages...maybe that was where your query started in the first place...?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TJKV:
I'd suggest that if you can get your head around the gapps-config concept, you do that method rather than using an apk you extracted, as it is a solution that will propogate automatically when you update or clean flash (assuming the gapps-config file is still present in the location of the gapps zip). Plus, the google messenger app will update cleanly over the play store.

It's good to keep the recovery codes handy (and safe). As for losing messages received during the time there is no SMS app installed, yep that's the main issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pianistaPL:
Does anybody use YAOSP ROM? I looks to be very nice ROM but I don't know if video playback (Youtube etc.) is fixed.

Beta 0.11 is up @ slimroms.org

Direct download: https://dl.slimroms.org/downloads/Slim-hammerhead-7.1.1.build.0.11-BETA-20170210-0848.zip
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
with Beta 0.11 i am getting random reboots right now.

Open hangouts, click settings to set incoming calls, reboot

open camera, do nothing, reboot.

it is 2:22 am here so can't provide logs, but tomorrow evening when i am back, i can if i can't solve it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wkkfu:
Hi! [MENTION=2033478]Yank555[/MENTION]. Thank you for your great work and kernel. Slim7 is a near perfect rom, but the battery icon is buggy.

Every time I launch Quark browser, battery icon can't turn dark, sometimes I pull up Launcher drawer, the icon is white, too.

In the latest version, lock screen battery icon keep wrong state. After reboot the icon turn back normal, but I never found this issue before.

I have tried to report these issues on g+, but I found I can't post. :(

Sorry for my poor English, thanks again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
so after waking up i reinstalled, eveything but "Advanced" (under Personalization) works, when i click on it, Slim Settings app crashes.

edit: now I reflashed and there is no advanced .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tkjeeper:
Sorry guys, been gone for a while I guess...not seeing how to use superuser, or root? Used to be a setting and you'd choose apps and adb or something, I missing it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dt0807:
Slim7 is no longer pre-rooted, so you get to flash root of your choice (SuperSU, phh SuperUser, MagiskSU) :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prairie-dad:
I just used SuperSU again yesterday, as I've done for some years, but are there arguments in favor of (or against) either of the others...?

(I trust this question is allowed, since it's not about comparing ROMs, but if I'm treading on some toes, the Moderator should feel free to remove this.)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dt0807:
Hah, I was just listing options. Personally, I really like SuperSU. It works well and is updated regularly.

I guess people shifted towards phh due to privacy/security concerns from SuperSU being bought out by CCMT. But Chainfire still works on SuperSU. I trust Chainfire. Magisk (based on phh) allows for systemless root and certain ROMs/kernels to be able to bypass the unlocked bootloader detection and pass Google's SafetyNet test to be able to use few things like Android Pay.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] treehugger38294:
I'm getting crashes immediately after opening the Gmail app. Anyone else?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prairie-dad:
beta 11 woes. downloaded, verified, flashed twice with two different open gapps versions, both booted ok, but neither gave me a keyboard, both just took me directly to voice input, which they then didn't accept anyway, so i couldn't log in! what am i doing wrong?

excuse the odd typing, cat sleeping in lap and only have one hand.

thx

Cat gone, two hands. When I installed beta 10, I tried the Aroma Gapps, just to see, and they worked fine, so i tried 'em again this second time. When they failed as described above, I went down to mini...same problem. First time I flashed three zips together...rom, gapps and su, second time only the first two...made no diff. Wiped as usual. Restore of beta 10 from nandroid went fine, so I'm in business, but what next?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t0mas_:
it is a bit of a guess but maybe you are running short on space in /system. try nano package. I couldn't install anything bigger than micro on any n rom I tried on hh
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] khanhlinh:
try mini dynamic gapps, good for an old device with low system partition like nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prairie-dad:
thanks, that did it...though I had to go all the way down to pico...even nano was too big. All better now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigtruite:
Does the encryption of the rom in settings work??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derschnelle:
I am sorry to bring that up again, but is there any chance for volume rocker wake in the future?

I would love to come back to slim, but my powerbutton doesn't want me to ;).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
At some point I'd think so ... I really haven't had the time to look into this so far, since adding it to slim is not just cherrypick from somewhere else, it needs to go into slimframework, so needs some changes.

I'll keep it in mind, though, to add it as soon as I manage to make time.

SafetyNet Apps doesn't work even after locking the bootloader (im not rooted). What's wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MIKM.xda:
Hi. I'm in trouble with my power button, too. But only running Android 7.x based ROMs. Flashing back to Slim 6.0.1 or Omnirom 6.0.1 there is no problem. So it seems to be no hardware defect.

Problem occurs after longer device sleep periods (over night). Pushing power button does absolutely nothing after that. But plugging in my usb charger or usb cable to pc, it wakes and power button instantly works again like normal for the rest of the day.

This happens on ROMs unmodified kernel mostly every day. On other kernel like franco's it is more rarely happening, lets say 3-4 days. Logcat says nothing of interest...

Any similarities to your power button problem?:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paolo_lav:
This seems the same problem that occurred in LineageOS and was fixed some days ago here:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/160973/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MIKM.xda:
Oh, thats nice. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derschnelle:
The similarity is, that we both have problems with the button. But mine is hardware and as stated above, yours seems to be software related.

Good luck with yours :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
Nexus 5 uses the same power button with samsung s4 and lg g2 (i changed mine that is why i know) if you have a phone repair place around you, it won't take more than a few bucks.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] George35000vr:
Im dropping this rom...too many random reboots for me when i stress the cpu or when having multiple downloads running in the background.I tweaked many of the kernel settings but i still got reboots its really weird as i dont get that on other roms :/ .Although the best battery rom ;) Keep up the good work and thanks for all the support :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MIKM.xda:
Thanks, too. I switched to LineageOS latest build yesterday. No power button failure so far...

Good to see, someone of slim team just cherry picked that fix from LineageOS already but it still needs verification.:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Guess who pointed him to it ? :D

I'm very busy this and next week, so no time to do it, so I asked if someone could do it for us ;)

JP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Paolo_lav:
That problem was simply reproducible with clock app for example: set alarm, when it sounds snooze it and rapidly power off the screen, then pressing the power button will not turn on the screen.

Anyway I don't use Slim7 and I can't say for sure that it's the same problem of lineageOS by viewing logcat, but the circumstances are very similiar. I linked the commit that fixed that in lineageOS in the previous page. Thanks for your work!

how do we make settings stick with kernel auditor?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Set kernel audio to apply at boot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
I know that, but let's say I set cpu speed(s) they go back to the defaults.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'd imagine that's because of stock hotplug? I don't know specifics for this device.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Confirmed, will be fixed with next weekly, Josue fixed it ;)

JP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
That'd be my CPU HardLimit cpufreq kernel driver ... it's set to not allow userspace to interfere with CPUfreq settings.

You can disable that lock by script :

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/cpufreq_hardlimit/userspace_dvfs_lock

The allowed values are :

0 - accept changes

1 - ignore changes (returns OK, but ignores the changes)

2 - refuse changes (returns -EINVAL)

After setting it to 0, you can set CPU freqs as usual, within stock range. If you want to change the stock range (for overclock), you need to change other tunables in hardlimit (documented here in the sources).

JP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
thank you,

maybe you can remember in this topic I posted about how good the battery life is, I got the best battery life with beta 0.9, this weekend I tried both 0.12 0.13 and 0.9 I still get 4+ hours of SoT with the sole modification of installing greenify and setting it up.

with the other releases I can't go over 3 hours. as I am just an end user I don't know what changed, I am okay with some performance sacrifice, to be honest. as long as I can use the phone without charging and being afraid of running out of battery.

I can stick with 0.9 of course, but the "nerd" side of me feels weird when there is a new build and i haven't flashed it.

thank you all for your work, i really appreciate it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
The changes that can be found between say 0.9 and 0.13 have most likely really no impact on battery life at all ... you can just run into the fact that you have more or less background noise (like more G+, hangouts, Facebook, messenger, whatsapp ... whatever ... notifications, or gapps messing more or less, waking device more or less, better or worse signal ... etc.) that makes the difference, but that's all mostly random.

Device-wise there has been no change at all in months (same kernel, same device repo, same vendor repo), the only change in there in the last few months will be the added codec support (for flac playback in the case reported here lately).

I'd stick with the latest build tbh.

JP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ekril:
thank you

do you have a suggestion for app/battery/wake lock watcher? I want to find out the culprit. :)

Yeah, I am on latest weekly, can't stay back.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Personally I have the usual suspects to monitor that, WakeLockDetector and BetterBatteryStats.

Slim beta 0.13

well i still new with slim.... btw how to get sot 4 hours, with slim beta 7.1.1 0.13 and stock slim kernel? thk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derschnelle:
Well that's a difficult question, since the sot depends on many things. Whether you get 4 hours sot or not depends very much on your battery.

But what many people recommend is using greenify, as it helps in most cases to increase your sot.

No separate thread to discuss this ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tom0769:
May I ask what are, in short, the main differences of this rom and slim rom?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
Not really, except maybe the Android Builder's collective (but be sure to tag me so I won't miss the post, at times the thread moves very fast).

YAOSP is my playing field, it's based off of pure AOSP (as such Nexus only) with just those features (some original, some are polished cherrypicks) added that I actually use myself (and a few on request if they don't overload the ROM). I also prefer to spread the added features along the settings where I think they naturally should be, so to know what was added, you best look in the changelog, that will also guide you to where I have hidden them ;)

I suppose Slim I don't need to introduce ;)

I'm using SlimYaosp alpha 0.1 could you provide a DL link with your latest Rom or is it safe to dirty flash alpha Slim 0.3 over the existing one ? Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cheeze.keyk:
any notice that when waking the device theres a delay for the screen to turn on?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Yank555:
SlimYAOSP was a oneoff, there won't be any updates, Slim6 is where the efforts will go, but Slim6 doesn't have all those features just yet.

Either you can live with a 'stocker' ROM and run Slim6 right now (clean flash), or you can, for now, use YAOSP (my AOSP based ROM, clean flash, too), which has everything you have on SlimYAOSP.

YAOSP Download links are in my signature, just click on the YAOSP banner, just as much as the Slim banner will take you to Slim's website with downloads section.

That is likely due to the 'avoid accidental wakeup' feature. Is it disabled ?
