[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
Good question, and I'm not sure. I made a list of commits between r79 and r80, and I'll post it here and in Post #1:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298974145
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ph4:
Very nice work, I'm happy to see an update and someone who works in this but I need some help, I noticed 2 problems or bugs:

1} About 'total silence' feature, same with nearly all the ROMs, sometimes the phone stuck in total silence, but maybe it play every sound as in ringer mode, o tried to reboot and everything fixed

2) The second is about the flashlight, this night I used it, but when I put it on and turned off the screen after 1 minute the flashlight goes off, but then it was impossible to turn on the flashlight, and camera apps say that it's impossible to connect to the camera, now I will reboot and I think everything will be OK.

This is maybe the last build for this phone and still there are bugs? Or is a only my problem? Or Google will release other builds?

Sorry for my bad English, and thanks for your work,

The Nexus 5 will never die, thanks to you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
This could be the last build, or perhaps there will be more. Dunno. I'll build them as they appear. I'm very happy with this boring, stable ROM. Everything including photos and video "works" without odd, ugly patches or sacrifices.

By total silence, you either mean "doze" or "do not disturb". I haven't experienced anything significant with either function.

Doze seems to work with GApps installed. Texts, alarms, and calls get through, but emails and other notifications remain silent. Works well for me overnight.

I use "do not disturb" occasionally from the pull-down menu, and haven't experienced issues. I might shut it off for an hour or so, and it seems to work and return to normal use as expected. "Settings -> Sound & notification -> Do not disturb" has additional settings that I don't bother with. "Settings -> Sound & notification -> App notifications" offers even more individualized tweaks, but again, I don't use them.

Flashlight behaves badly if I leave it on for a significant time. It may turn-off by itself, or it may require a reboot to get going again. I always figured it was a battery-saving thing kicking-in. Again, short on-and-off periods don't seem to be an issue, only the longer duration times. I do think the phone is trying to protect itself from rapid drain, but I don't know that as fact. I just keep my flashlight times short and reasonable.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kkruglov:
flashlight problem exists in many roms, it never got fixed https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2x6jic/is_there_a_fix_to_the_lollipop_flashlight_bug_yet/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Heeter:
Hi androcraze

Just wanted to thank you for this update. I really appreciate it. Tried several times to use N7 but I keep coming back to this ROM, because of it's incredible stability and everything works with it.

I Thank you again for making this ROM still available

Regards
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
Glad everything is working for you. Hopefully we'll have more updates from AOSP.

Hi!

Does this firmware contain a security patch for Broadpwn?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
https://hackaday.com/2017/07/29/broadpwn-all-your-mobiles-are-belong-to-us/

"Since this flaw directly exploits the WiFi chipset, it is independent of the underlying operating system in the main CPU. A similar bug, CVE-2017-0561, requires the attacker and the victim to be on the same WPA2 network. Broadpwn does not. It can be used to silently exploit any device in range of the attacker. This is possible because the bug exists in the way the WiFi chipset firmware handles an Association Response frame, prior to any actual authentication."

For now, based-on the above, no N5 ROM is "safe". If you see a patch, or a ROM that claims to have fixed it, please let me know.

From what I'm reading, we're at the mercy of Broadcom on this issue.

EDIT: For everyone's FYI, this CVE-2017-9417 is the actual Broadcom issue:

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-9417

If you're looking for patches, that will probably be listed.

LG RS 988 locked from RENT-A-CENTER Backed up the following 3 partitions in tot format:

persistent

Hex replaced all 45 occurrences of the string "apk" to "aaa"

Hard resetted the phone, flashed the modded file, hard resetted it again before allowing it to reboot, and the RAC/EELock is gone. Basically the locking apk won't be able to run due to the mismatched file extension.

Enjoy!!

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] inaudible101:
I know this is a dead thread, but I think I figured out how to get rid of the RAC (rent a center) lock for good. The rac lock uses a system administrator profile along with a program called sec.abt that can not be removed or frozen. If you manage to uninstall it is just reinstalls itself. I was not able to find any information on how to remove this without using special hardware like an octopus box that costs hundreds of dollars.

I used LGUP with the uppercut modification (can be found here on XDA) along with the KDZ files from here https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-rs988-firmwares/

I was only able to find the USA RSS 11C firmware until I found the page linked above with the BPT 10D firmware. Whenever you flash the stock 11C USA firmware the RAC program comes back, however if you use LGUP and uppercut to flash the BPT 10D firmware using the upgrade option (refurbish will error out) I found that my device booted correctly and seemed to work, however I did not have any fastboot options and it said there were no updates available (you need fastboot to unlock the bootloader and the latest update grants that ability). I then reinstalled the USA 11C firmware and to my delight found that the RAC software and device administrator profile were gone.

I then checked for updates and it started download the latest update. I believe I will not have a problem unlocking the bootloader and rooting from this point on. I'll let you guys know if anything changes.

I'm only posting this because I have been sitting on a RAC locked phone for months that got locked over six months after I bought it used and really hope this can help someone else that got screwed over.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Went to local Best Buy today and the guy at the Google booth had black XL that he let me pay with for a good 15 minutes.

Quick thoughts: 1.The black looks really nice, like really nice!

2. A feature I haven't seen in videos, double tap the power button opens camera app imcredibly qyickly even with a locked phone. Makes my Note5 camera look slow.

3. He had the 32gb version with 21gb available, but he had quite a few photos and store demo software on it, I'd expect 23gb available out of the box.

4. It had pre-production software and Assistant was not fully functional on it.

5. Swiping down on the fingerprint sensor to bring down notification bar worked perfectly and I'm already in love with this feature.

6. It is very light, and much more comfortable in hand than my note5

7. Sweet lord it is fast and smooth in comparison to my phone AND more importantly my wife's S7 edge (snapdragon 820)

8. Snapped a couple of pics, under the fluorescent lighting and compared then to same pics with Note5.......PIXEL LOOKS BETTER!.

9. Size wise, it is just a pinch smaller than Note5, screen looks definitely better.

10. He was also carrying a 5x, there is obviously not comparison,in terms if screen and performance

That's what I can think of off the top of my head, typing this in Best Buy parking lot. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] adamsweeting:
Thanks for the info! - Man.... that's whetted my appetite
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Obviously I need to see some reviews, and the price is something each individual will have to decide on for themselves, but I was impressed. I didn't order one yet, since I haven't decided if 32gb is enough (probably not), but barring some seriously bag reviews, this will be my next phone
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tgyberg:
Nice! I'm on the Google wait list :good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
If you guys have a Best buy near you, the guy specifically told me that this was not his phone, and it was given to him for express of letting geek's like me check it out if they asked. I don't know if all locations are the same, but the one here has a Google display with all their chromebooks, and an actual Google employee there that you can talk to.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I might check Best Buy out...thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] uploder:
this makes me so hyped that I preorded the 128GB quite black. Hurry up and ship!!!! lmao

Thanks for the info OP! :)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] droidguy22:
Can you tell us anything about screen quality, brightness compared to your Note 5 and S7 edge?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Looks better than my note5 which is getting something that looks like light bleed after a year. This is subjective, but it looked comparable to the S7 edge. I'm sure detailed reviews will tell us technically which one is better, but in Best Buys lighting, to my untrained eye, the Pixel looked at least as good as the S7. The colors looked good, it was bright, and the color saturation looked good to me, but Amoled screens are all I've been staring at for the last year. This may be because I'm not a fan of the edge screen, or it could have been because of the glare or distortion that it causes, but the Pixel screen looked "crisper" to me if that makes any sense. I can't point exactly to the reason why, everything just looked a little clearer to me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Khilbron:
#2. This was not mentioned in the videos because it is an android 6.0.1 feature, it's not new to the Pixel devices.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
I was just going to post that. I use that on my 6P all the time.

How does it fit in the hand and how is the one-handed usability compared to the nexus 6p?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Sorry, I can't compare it to the 6p, since I've never held one. Fits in the hand more comfortably than my note5 though. With the swipe function in the fingerprint sensor, one handed usability seemed great. I am a small guy, and the fingerprint sensor was easy to reach, and I was VERY impressed with how the phone felt
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
The main question is. How was battery life? Lol. Jk. But were you satisfied overall in your short time with it? Did it feel like a whole new android experience. Or just another phone? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] drwx:
double tapping the power button to open the camera is already a feature on the 6p. i use it all the time.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Double tapping the power button to open the camera is a standard feature on most AOSP ROM's on most phones.

I use it on my current Moto X Pure.

Works locked or unlocked. Been doing it this way for over a year now.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] hello00:
if you live in south miami in coral gables, there is a best buy right after the palmetto expy, they already have the phone on display..i played with it for 10m and it seems like a good phone..the note 7 feels more premiun than the xl..maybe because of the edges, the glass and being a little bit heavier ..the phone is way thicker and lighter than my note 7..one thing i noticed right away was the brightness..it doesnt get as brighter as the note 7..the iphone 7 plus shares the same brightness..the phone is definitely faster..while playing with it i didnt encounter any lag whatsoever..so it is safe to say that the phone is lag free..unless you get a bad batch then you are screwed..the audio is fine..couldnt tell the difference but both sounds identical..the phone was plugged so i unplugged it to find out how the battery was and it only dropped 2% from 100 of only 10m of usage..i dont know..the phone is only for display so it is probably one of those early models..overall..it is an excellent phone..would i drop $900 for it? probably not

Bump ?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jj14:
Is the glass edge curved like the Nexus 6? (trying to figure out if a glass screen protector will have the issues like it does with N6)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Thanks, I think we have established that. I was merely pointing it out since I've been in TouchWiz for the last year and was not aware.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I did not, sorry.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Yes, no, yes..lol. I liked it a lot. But whole new android experience? Can't say that since the pre production software didn't have fully functional Assistant on it. But it was smoother than other devices, especially anything with an OEM skin on it, and it just felt good to use it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
My Best Buy didn't have it yet. But they said if you pre order through them you get $100 best buy gftcard and free Chromecast. Not bad. Daydream is only worth $80.

Edit: he failed to mention activation through Verizon. Lol

So, I assume you're a Samsung user right? Have you ever used a nexus device before? It's really encouraging that you've been impressed with pixel the first time you used it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Slicktune:
Did the phone feel a little too on the thick side? Im comming from a nexus 6p and im about to return this note 7 and the debate is between the thick looking pixel xl (amazing camera) or thin OP3 (with the ****ty camera and display)

Whats your feedback on thickness?

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I've used, briefly, a Nexus 5, and I've also used Nexus tablets. That's it. But ice also used close to stock Android on the Moto X and Droid Turbo. It's true the Pixel really impressed me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
It did not feel remotely thick to me. It is thicker at the top, and slowly thins out towards the bottom, which actually felt great.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nomisunrider:
They only sell the verizon version...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Slicktune:
Exxxcuse my retardation but how so? Like an upside down bowling pin? So is it slanted when ona table?

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
I guess technically. The phone is thicker at the top(presumably to prevent a camera hump) and thinner at the bottom. I found this pic online to illustrate.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Slicktune:
Wow that's kinda different, good to know thanks

I was wondering why the revealed measurements said "7.3 - (8.6)"

Does it feel thicker/or more comfortable than your note 5 honestly?

I had a note 5 so i could have an idea more or less...

Thais in advance
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
It honestly didn't feel thicker, and the metal body feels much easier and more comfortable to hold than the glass note5
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cricketgirl90:
Love my note 5 to bits and addicted to touchwiz features like spilt screen and oled display and incredible camera. Since getting a note 7 now is a death wish would you get a pixel xl?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
I would say go with the pixel xl if you don't mind the price. Nougat does have split screen and will have some custom rom features to fill that void. And if the few reviews I have seen hold true over time. (Including the guy from redit that has one) this phone is lag free. Butter smooth. And isn't that what we all really want. Butter smooth tasking. And should be decent battery life.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cricketgirl90:
My priorities

1- camera

2- battery
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
I can't speak for hands on. But based off rumors/few hands on videos. I would say its a go then. It will have the best camera. And I'm happy with my 6p battery life. And this should be better. And googles software is so Mich smoother then Samsung. I honestly don't think you would be disappointed if you can live without a few gimmicks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cricketgirl90:
I strongly feel note 5 is very smooth.... until I used my sisters s7 edge... m sure pixel would be smoother... though that is not something I worry bout.. note 5 never kept me waiting. So even if it's a fraction sec slower I cud never notice
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ryano89:
Very seriously considering it
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
Well then you better wait for reviews or a demo model somewhere. I just know the camera loads as fast as any other phone camera on the market and takes par or better shots. And battery life should see 5hrs sot
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Did the version you checked out at BB look like the hands on videos? As in settings menu and all? Sammy allowed Verizon to butcher the note 7. They claimed it was for a better customer experience having the old settings menu and removing features. I wouldn't think Google would allow this on the Pixels, but Verizon IS handling their updates. Wonder if this is why??
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] robweis:
Few gimmicks?

Few gimmicks? Wireless charging, waterproofing,SD card and ois are not gimmicks rather exclusions from this very high priced phone
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
I was referring to software. EIS could hold its own to OIS. That is TBD. Wireless charging is great. But slow. I'm pissed about no waterproofing. But how do we all know the waterproof phones won't fail. You don't. I have lived without an SD card for 5 years. I'm not everyone. But I don't believe SD is necessary with 128gb internal. But I do hear what you are saying. There is some missing flagship features for the price. But until I hold this thing in my hand. I can't say its not worth the money. Because googles phones have always been worth more to me then what they charged me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Premium hardware plus premium software plus premium dev support= priceless.....you can keep your sammy that lags and barely any dev support,if it doesnt have a locked bootloader,but its waterproof lol...im good, cant wait for my pixel
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] robweis:
Note 7

I prefer ordered the pixel after the 2nd note 7 fail. The more I thought about it I ended up cancalling. I ended up with s7 edge. I do have 14 days to return. Damn wireless charging spoils us lazy people. So easy just to plop phone down.. I thought hard about lg v20. If they had it in store I'd probably bite. I don't have much faith in LG after all theiron previous issues. Being able to swap batteries is priceless if only lg could squeeze more out of the battery. The pixel xl was sold out at play store I had pre ordered with Verizon which made me worried. The damn bezel and forehead and chin too I guess I am just too picky. So it's the comfort of the s7 and awesome screen. So easy to hold. Screen edge to edge rocks as does always on display. Damn Samsung. Hate to support them but.....
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
Yes they are exclusions, but the value of those exclusions is up to the individual person.

Some people care, some people will not care. Subjective. Thus one person's killer feature, is another person's gimmick - depending on use...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biscuitownz:
Well, that is an interesting design :cyclops:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jizzle74:
Just played with it for a half hour. Everything legit, speed , screen looks better than expected. Bezel although not ideal is not too terrible either. Camera is definitely either the best or no worse than tied with note 7! After actually handling it I'm definitely buying now
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
I don't consider any of those decision making features. We have several notes in the house, all with wireless charging, never use it. SD card storage? Stuck the card in to begin with and never take them out. I ordered the 128gb model and have 100gb Google Drive space for 2 bucks a month so meh.... I trust their IS implementation is adequate and I don't use my phone in the rain.. So...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mixedguy:
While I understand why some people want SD card support, I personally don't care for it, SD cards have slow performance and are known to be unreliable. Seen so many forum posts in the past of corruption issues with SD cards.

Unlimited free full resolution Pictures and Videos back up is a good alternative for the majority of people since those two things are usually what take up the most amount of space on phones.

If SD card support is a must have for someone then you probably aren't the target market for these Pixel phones. I can see stereo speakers and "Water proofing" maybe coming to future Pixel phones one day but I think Google believes too much in Cloud Storage being the future to ever consider SD card support on their phones, especially now that the majority of people stream music, videos and movies, instead of playing them through local storage.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DirgeExtinction:
That sounds great. Unfortunately, no Best Buy near me has a Google section.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] recDNA:
How does speaker sound? I listen to sports talk radio using speaker. I don't like headphones and bluetooth earbud not loud enough for me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
I read somewhere the speaker was louder then the 6p. Unsure of quality though
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Plus 1 for SD card reliability. I don't use them but plenty of folks I know keep having theirs get corrupted and end up losing data. Unsure if they are buying high quality ones but with the internal memory of the pixel being ufs, I'd imagine the SD card might be a bottle neck at times unless you buy one that matches the speed of the ufs memory.
