I believe you need the latest 4.4 bootloader (not 5.0). Peruse here: http://xdaforums.com/search/thread/3235794?query=bootloader

Such as here, to start: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65264761&postcount=878

There's a thread about flashing the bootloader.

I just updated from AOSP 6.0 last night; copied the ROM, openGapps Aroma installer, and latest SuperSU system to the external SD card, so I could clean up the internal SD. Wiped Dalvik, cache, system, data, and internal SD. Then flashed the ROM, followed by the aroma installer (installed the minimum requirements plus most things that replace stock apps), and finally SuperSU system.

Everything is working great so far. :) Oh, and after getting everything set up, I changed the LCD density in build.prop to the native value (273).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
First of all, you should use TWRP 3.0.2. Second, you should also flash a system-mode only SuperSu. Third, you should definitely do a clean install, especially since you claim you had 4.2.2 before.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] devasthun:
Anyone on #119 ?

I've been testing a bit more, and this seems to be an issue with CM14 as well. Might be an android 7.0 bug.

Tried with multiple apps as well, same behaviour: apps cant access their data dir on the external sd card.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] blackbrickster:
As said already, not all apps are optimized for nougat yet since it's a fairly new OS. Please do not bug ROM developers for app dependent inquiries. You can talk to the developer of the app in question. I have no SD card storage access problems and it is working fine for all the apps i used (except FX File Explorer, which seemed to be SD card issue in MY case, not the ROM's nor the app's problem).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] devasthun:
Since you're saying it's an app issue and definetly not upstream, i stop investigating more. Please disregard what i wrote earlier.

Have a good day.

Flashing non-current version of any ROM wipes cache and dalvik automatically. People save your time, I know it makes you feel better inside, but wiping these to doesn't do anything when you are upgrading the ROM [emoji12]
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] handsfreak:
Hi guys,

First of all, thanks to adrianom for giving us Nougat on this great device.

I've been using MM for quite some time, and wanted to upgrade to Nougat. After installing it, I'm having trouble with the Google Play services. I'm not a very experienced user, so maybe I'm making some basic errors.

I have TWRP version 3.0.2 installed.

Here's what I've done:

1. Download the ROM and GApps (I chose ARM -> 7.0 -> Stock from here http://opengapps.org/) and place them on the external SD card

2. Clear data, system, cache, Dalvik, internal storage

3. Flash ROM and GApps

4. Reboot device

After reboot, Nougat is starting, and I choose to set up the device from scratch. I'm asked to connect to a wireless connection, and after connecting, it starts "Checking info". This is where I get a popup stating "Google Play services has stopped" (https://i.imgur.com/p16Xo6r.jpg). If I cancel the setup (which I have to, since I can't proceed otherwise), I end up at the homescreen. If I try to open Play Store, I get a popup saying "Google Play services keeps stopping" (https://i.imgur.com/7C8p9Qm.jpg).

I've tried clearing the Google Play services cache in Settings -> Apps.

Any tips?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
The only thing I miss is flashing SU-SystemMode 2.78. Otherwise no problem. Maybe you should try again flashing ROM, GApps and SU, no wiping and just reboot.

Good luck
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
It's all done as one operation in TWRP, and in place of doing a factory reset, since I also wanted to wipe internal SD, so I can handle the extra second. :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] handsfreak:
Thanks for your input. I tried reflashing ROM and GApps, plus "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SYSTEMMODE", but I still get the Google Play services errors. Can you (or anyone else) confirm that I have downloaded the correct GApps zip? I.e., is it correct to choose ARM -> 7.0 -> Stock from http://opengapps.org/?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I lost about 2 hours today while flashing a Nexus 7 with Gapps from opengapps.com. I got the same error. It seems that there is a problem with their apps. Try to get alternate apps. I would recommend THIS, since it worked for me. There is no Aroma installer, though. Just choose the Nougat GApps. You can also try the Gapps from the 18th, it worked for me https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/tag/20161018.

Third edit: can we get this into the ROM https://github.com/awifi-dev/androi...mit/a8e4f11120037cb7ab1b5bc6746df750ba34f9c7? It fixes the MAC address of the WiFi being different after each reboot. I know I once said that MAC address stays the same, but I know for sure it is different after each reboot. It is also very similar to the BT address. Thank you, [MENTION=4297659]adrianom[/MENTION], for preparing this ROM for a 3 years old device now :)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] handsfreak:
Thanks, I used the GApps from the 18th, and it worked! :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dirlan2001:
I use Micro-GApps, only few apps needed. This tablet is for work, no need for all that bloatware...

Cheers
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] handsfreak:
Before I installed the Stock package, I tried the Micro one. I wasn't able to type the WiFi password since there was no keyboard included. Maybe I did something wrong, though. (As stated, I'm a novice.) Anyway, I went with Stock and disabled the apps I don't use.

I really like Nougat so far. Everything feels smoother (though that may also be due to the fresh install), and the split screen function is sweet. I experienced a crash when I was checking out the System UI Tuner, but no problems after rebooting.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeremywh7:
Fwiw, I had no issues with the openGapps Aroma installer version 20161020. I allowed all installed apps to replace when possible; used 358MB total. Here is the install log:

Friday I tried even smaller packages. None of them worked. I think I heard about this before. They will probably fix it with a newer release.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] turbophreak:
Had to say thanks to adrianom for this awesome rom! Been using your Marshmallow roms for my v500 and switched to this one. It makes a 3 year old tablet as smooth as a brand new one. Everything is better - speed, battery, network, all of it. Have not had one single problem. Nice work my friend, and thank you!

Found only 1 app does not work , it may be due to the app and not the rom. great job, this is my procedure:

twrp clean wipe

Hi,

Installed over your version of Android 6.0, everything went smooth and everything works fine

Just some performance issue on very demanding apps (only at some even more demanding moment). Still something I did not have in 6.0

Could be due to 7.0 or to installing it over 6.0 without total wiping
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I found out (by mistake) that we can also use multi-window in this Rom. Long press the Recent apps soft button, then you will get a split window. Long pressing the recent apps button will disable it.

To new users flashing this Rom: use older versions of Gapps, I read there are still issues with current packages. Somebody fixed them by setting permissions manually, but this cannot be done on a fresh install. The 18th were the last packages that worked for me https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/tag/20161018. Just use the arm build.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] blackbrickster:
That's like the biggest feature when Nougat came out along with the double-tap to switch apps shortcut.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] dialmformostyn:
Nice and smooth so far - as always thank you dev!

I've had some problems with torrent apps such as Flud (paid version crashes, free one is fine, weirdly) and Libretorrent, though still Solid Explorer crashes after the intro. I do wonder if it's the SD card causing it.

But tremendous progress already, looking forward to future iterations.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jantuna:
Hello, please precise installation instructions for this great ROM. Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] tmihai20:
I assume you want all the steps to install it. Assuming you already have a custom recovery, boot into recovery, flash the main rom zip from the first post, then flash Gapps from HERE. I also recommend a clean flash, especially when coming from an older Tom for greater performance. There are some apps not updated to Nougat, some will not work as before.

If you are on a stock ROM, then it is more complicated, because you have to root your tablet, then flash a custom recovery. You did not say what is running on the tablet now and if you have root or a custom recovery.

Guys, has anyone else with an SD formatted as internal tried connecting to PC using MTP? When I do it my PC only has access to the built-in storage rather than the adopted SD. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case in 6.0 but can someone please confirm?

Thanks

I've got an XT1095 in hand. In the past I've used both stock and CM13 on my Moto E.

I'm trying to decide which ROM to use on the Moto X.

Is there any major advantage to one ROM over the other in terms of performance or battery?

Is one of them more compatible with Xposed?

How about the notification LED?

Any other things I should be aware of?

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] sharpknight:
Can someone please upload the stock build.prop file .

I'm not sure which version i need, whether 10A or 10D.

I have NEVER updated my phone (i got it in like april/may) and i am rooted.

In setting > Software version shows: Unknown

(Part of the reason i need a stock build.prop)

Edit: i found the 10D build prop here for anyone looking:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-10d-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3406505

An interesting observation is that some buildprop apps load the file while others cant (that all request rot permission).

Can someone explain why perhaps? Is this due to a permission on the file or something?

UPDATE: The phone will not boot bc i accidentally deleted the build.prom file entirely by restoring a seemingly blank version.

I really need a build.prop file now. #fail

Final update:

I was able to find a backup of my original build.prop

For anyone that may need it in the future, here is an upload of the Stock H830 10A build.prop:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
giving this a try today! I resized my partitions to give linux as much room as possible, but idk if that will still be enough considering i have a SSD. I have a 130gb home partition right now. Wish I could give up more of my 256GB, but I'm triple booting windows 10, ubuntu, and the new cm13 androidx86.

I def want to be able to do this though, I may have to go out today and pickup an externel hdd ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Source is usually about 30-50 gigs the first time you synch
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I see that lol, I'm at 13gb so far. I've been reading the building how to in the 6p forum since it has a lot more comments and info. I know I'm really going to be cutting it close and theres a good chance I'll run out of space. Depending on how close I get, I may try to shave another 10gb off my windows partition to get 1 actual build done before I drop money on an external hdd. Although that may not be worth the trouble since it looks like I can pick up a 1tb external for around $55. And I would really like to have a large enough ccache to keep build times down
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Yeah, plus I'm not sure if building on a ssd would burn it out fast or not. I always wondered that myself, but the price of ssd is getting so low anymore, I guess its not that big of an issue.

After the first synch, it gets much easier on the downloads lol. First is always the most intensive, any time you synch after its just the small updates.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I didn't realise that was that much of an issue with ssd's! S***, I may have to get the external anyways BC I'm using a 2in1 tablet style laptop that doesn't have a user serviceable drive! I don't want a $750 machine to go bust, I'd rather drop $55 on the external lol.

Is it syncing or building that is the most taxing on the drive, or both?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
I honestly don't even know if it is, might want to wait for Nathan or someone else to chime in, I would think it would be the act of building. But as I've never actually gotten a build to work properly, I'd take what I said with a grain of salt
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Hmm so it sounds likes a lot can go wrong with building. Well, if I can do one build successfully, I can justify buying a drive to build more. One build shouldn't kill my drive since I usually don't usually do r/w intensive tasks on this computer
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
It's probably the repeated compilitations.

While modern SSDs do a good job of balancing wear and tear... SSDs by the simple nature of Solid State storage have a finite number of write cycles. During normal usage you should really never max this out. However, when compiling you're performing ALOT of write cycles.

There are ways to optimize this. But if you're looking at getting an external harddrive it might be an easier option.

No, force syncing will have no undesired consequences here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I could foresee something like this to me, losing connection during sync. What would be the way to handle this if force since has undesired consequences?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Just nuke your repo, re-init, and resync
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Interesting that you have to start over. I'd (incorrectly) assume, based on the meaning of the word sync, that it could see what you already have and "sync" it, without having to nuke and lose the data already downloaded. Once again thanks for the insight flash, my sync finished this morning and I'm looking forwarded to try my first build attempt today after I get off work
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah, that's exactly what both sync and force sync do. You asked what you would do if the sync (or force sync) was messed up and I would say to restart fresh.

Could you explain how to add devices using roomsevice.XML ? I know where it is located, but don't exactly know what needs added. This isn't specific to PN, because I'm building for shamu.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I'm confused/misread one of your posts. So let me ask again to clarify. If I'm syncing and my connection drops, it still attempts even though no connection is available.

So if I hit control-c to stop it and then sync again when my connection is back, will that create problems? Or will that use the existing files to finish downloading the repo and get me to where I would have been if the connection didn't drop and finished syncing?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
See my local manifests repo here: https://github.com/nathanchance/local_manifests
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Sorry to bug you about the same thing and for the confusion post format. I asked 2 questions and you just said no. Which is it no to?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
If you hit control-C OR even your internet connection just drops, just run repo sync --force-sync. It will sync what was already synced and it will then continue bringing down the new repos. You will have no issues.
