Great!!! It's the best thing happened today! But, what were you earlier? I forgot:p was it Recognised contributor?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Congratulations! We all appreciate the hard work on the amazing ROM.

Thanks again for the help last night restoring my phone. I sure learned a lot, and it wouldn't be fun if we didn't break things now and again. I'll be able to try that APK again on a device I just swapped out with a family member that has a broken camera. So I'm free to mess it up as I please ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] macci10:
This ROM is the best and you are the best. I have never seen such a gentle developer here on xda. You deserved that title. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ravidaada:
install button doesn't become clickable

When going to install app from internal storage , that has app permissions, install button doesn't becomes clickable, though there is end of permissions list. I am on latest build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Lock screen and unlock. Works for me, even though I faced this issue only once. Try disabling any substratum theme
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CM06:
congratulations, it's quite normal, you built a very good rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bloodsaw:
The latest update (10/29/2017) breaks the front facing camera. OpenCamera/Google Camera show a toast error "serious camera error" and FaceUnlock shows a black screen when setting up or improving the face match. The previous build had no issues with the camera.

This is not a kernel issue as I am using blu_spark r144 which is the same revision I was using on the last time build, I have redownloaded the same revision to make sure there wasn't any corruption with the zip archive

If you need a logcat I can do it this weekend
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Hopefully it has been fixed by LOS because I didn't do any modifications to the device side of things in the latest release compared to the previous one (maybe on the kernel side, but you don't use the stock one anyway). Come to think of it, try with the stock kernel to see if it isn't a problem with blu_spark (has it been updated recently?)…

Any others with camera issues?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Prototype18:
The only problem i faced in this build is getting stuck on headphone mode, after it gets out it says bug report send.

Reboot doesnt fix it, u need to play with the headphone in and out a little bit
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Not getting this issue with front facing camera.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I'm happy to say that I found the cause for this issue not being fixed in the latest build. I'll release a new build soon and that issue will be fixed for good!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Found Fix.

It's really DPI related issue only.

Change Built.Prop with 480 instead of 445 (in system Partition)

Clear Play-store data

Reboot

again clear Play store data

Now open Play-store

You will see Apple Music & all others

Now if you want you can again change DPI back to other value (i use 460)

Just Don't clean Play-store data now

if you do, repeat the cycle.

Apparently Play Store only checks DPI on 1st run so once we make it believe it's 480, we can change it back to what ever we want

:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shea83:
I've no problem with front facing camera and stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Has anybody of you ever seen this on Lockscreen?

I get this randomly since months and over lots of different builds. When I push the back button I get the correct Lockscreen pattern. No big deal of cause, but maybe a simple thing to fix. So I decided to post it here... any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shea83:
Not a big deal but the same thing happens to me randomly, even with different rom.

...It's not something that happens very often, only sometimes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Never till today
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Hmm...

Which lock methods do you use? Pattern, pin or none?

Which trust agents?

With or without system profiles?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Pattern . Nothing else
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NJ5499:
Never faced this either (using voice + faceunlock and without system profile modifying lock-state)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bloodsaw:
Without a logcat, from what I can tell it was an issue with driver loading. A standard reboot wouldn't fix it but rebooting into the bootloader, powering off the device then starting the device back up fixed the issue.

Thank you for the quick response.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
An interesting sequence to fix something. I'll have to remember that in the future.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys,

I just pushed another build which fixes a couple issues. Here is the changelog:

- Fixed the install button not always appearing (fixed for good now)

- Fixed PIE detaching randomly

- Fixed PIE position in landscape not changing instantly

- Adjusted PIE layout in landscape to prevent overlap

Hopefully everything is working good now ;)

Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
If I am on an old build, I can delta update to latest or need to flash all previous ones?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
You can delta update. All the modifications made to the rom will be downloaded and what remains the same will be kept.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] carloshnslln:
Just go into settings and software update, tap thr download button and then flash, you dont have to flash it all over again.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Many thanks. Sorry I wasn't able to test out that pie fix, my whole family caught a nasty bug.

One question I'm hoping shouldn't be a tall order. Until Dark Oreo comes to fruition, will you at least be pushing a build each month with upstream and monthly security updates?

Don't really want to tie you down with a feature request or anything, but hopefully it shouldn't take too much time to do that.

Anyway, I'll be ready and willing to destroy my extra device for the sake of testing Dark Oreo, so let me Alpha/Beta test for you :victory:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
I meant will it download the latest build or the next?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
EDIT: It does chain them all at once if you have skipped.

https://www.xda-developers.com/skip...andwidth-omnirom-adds-incremental-ota-system/

"And one neat trick is that if you forget to update for a few rounds, OpenDelta can chain multiple .delta files to install many incremental updates at once."
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
I confirm, This is fixed :).

Thanks!

Edit : I have a Q regarding Delta Update,

Is it like OTA (incremental update...download only parts) or it just download entire zip and flash automatically so we don't need to do it manually ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
It only downloads what has been modified/updated, not the whole rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Unfortunately though, your phone ends up with a zip on storage that is twice the size of the original ROM zip. It does save Dark_Eyes a lot of bandwidth though, as the update file is 10% the size of the whole ROM (some 10-30mb).

Original ROM size for latest (from server): 247.1mb

Size on my storage for latest after Delta: 470.94mb

TBH, I have flashed enough other devices that I've had to download the whole ROM often enough that I'm not sure what happens to the size after multiple Delta updates. Nor do I really know if the larger zip flashes more data to the system partition than downloading the full zip, or if it ends up identical (or near enough).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
cool...!

So System modifications stays after update or they are gone ?

Like ARISE or No-Ads Youtube installed in system
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Anything that needs to be flashed to the system, can be placed in the FlashAfterUpdate folder and it will automatically be reflashed when it flashes the update. It does so in filename order, so if something needs to be flashed before something else, just prepend a 0-9 to make it flash before other stuff. Some things have "survival" scripts that make them not need to be flashed again, though I don't know if the ones you mentioned do. I know that Viper4Android has one and does NOT need the zip to be placed in FlashAfterUpdate.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] albycos:
Hi friend ! No one noted the problem above with Adblock on Dolphin ?

I've tried also 02/11 release but Dolhin continues to crash since release 29.10 if Adblock is enabled on it.

Thanks in advance, to everyone may help me.

Congrats for this great rom, after had tried several rom I feel I've found an home. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
The file on your storage is bigger (twice as large) simply because it isn't compressed. The patching process can't be done on compressed zip files, so it has to be stored like that on your sdcard.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
I had wondered about that, thanks for clarifying. I was having a hard time with the bloat-logic not really adding up, because that truly doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Good to know :)

But i think this is not a good idea for me bcz i do a lot of modification on system partition.

Only ARISE change more than 100 files so if anything goes wrong while doing automatically i won't be able to fine exact cause.

So Somethings are better off manually :)

Hello guys! small problem all the gallery's pictures start from the bottom as date !! also on whatsapp telgram and any app where you need the gallery the photos it makes them older, and scroll every time 3000+ photos and a problem

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
You need look at the settings of your gallery app. There is no default gallery app with the rom so tell me which one do you use?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alex71184:
I tried with gallery in the extra package together! but no setting exists !!! then I installed quickpick that in the app gallery I have set, but when I open telegram or whatsapp photos always leave from oldest !!

Edit

I solved the quickpic gallery method, fix it by using the exif file, thank you all

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Did you give permissions to the AOSP gallery app? You are right, there are no settings.

I have WhatsApp and it's working normally with Google photos, can't say about Telegram since I don't use it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Share it for us pls
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alex71184:
I downloaded the applications from the QuickPick play store Quick Start Camera folder and with the 3 dots on the top left or set, View as Recent Date! then always in the same menu, fix date, and if that is not enough you could try it with a file manager entering the dcim folder and set it as the last date

For those with questions about how delta updates work check out the wikipedia page about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_update

Delta updates are becoming increasingly popular due to the reduction in bandwidth usage, even Windows 10 has introduced Delta Updates in the new Fall Creators Update.

Also [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] I would highly suggest putting the link to the wikipedia page for Delta Updates in the OP so users that are new to your rom can find out what delta updates are.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] brunomulti:
Thank you note

Hello, guys!

Just here to be thankful to [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] and the community. I have my nexus 5 for a couple of years and was stuck with the custom rom until I found this thread. I always was afraid that I would brick my phone, since its the one that I use every day. But, for my joy, reading this stuff made me think that it was worth a try. Have been using dark rom for a couple of weeks and I'm very, very happy with it! looks like a new phone. So, thank you again, Dark Eyes for your time and effort! =)

Side note: Please, guys, don't be demanding in your posts. Dark Eyes is willing to go one more mile at every update and he does not owe you anything. Think twice before posting "requests", because you are not his boss. He is a very nice guy doing what google didn't want to do, so be kind with him!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Manish Salian:
Thanks [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] for this beautiful ROM..Only doubt I have is is it possible to keep the notification bar not being hide while enabling pie settings because I have my power button broken so I lock my phone by double tapping on notification bar?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] why does WhatsApp warn that this is a custom ROM? On fakenexus no such message occurs. Is is because of being built on LineageOS?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
You can setup this Rom to wake by volume buttons and sleep by double pressing the home button. Works great with this ROM. And I would disable pie if my power button was broken.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Manish Salian:
I know that buddy just asking if in case there is some settings in this ROM which will allow me to use pie with notification bar kept as it is I mean not being hide.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shagami JP:
It is easy, activates the PIE controls and then activates the imersive mode in the option to hide only the navigation bar, so the PIE control is maintained along with the status bar
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Manish Salian:
Oo now I get it ..thanks a lot buddy ??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lakija:
Hi all. I have a problem with sound when i record videos. Sound is very bad. It's like the sound is set to maximum. This happens only when the sound I record is loud. I try to use L camera from play store and the sound is ok but video is flickering. Tnx in advance.

Edit: open camera from play store
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Something weird happen. Currently using latest build few days ago then Root got broken. I just woke up and I lost root. Magisk is prompting to install its zip file. I also have blu kernel. Is it ok to flash Magisk again?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Yeah! But flash Blu_Spark after it or you will get stock kernel...

Personally, I feel magisk is not stable. It loses root like crazy. If it doesn't work, switch to SuperSU and Suhide . You can still pass safety net..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Well it's actually the first time i lost root access cos ive been dirty flashing dark rom since June 2017. Guess there's a problem with either custom kernel or magisk.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Nevermindthelabel:
Sometimes that happens when magisk hide is enabled and stays "hidden" . Usually a reboot will take care of it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Thanks mate. It worked. I almost dirty flashed the rom again
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Is there any way to enable short quick setting on lock screen rather than full expanded one ?

or

single click to enable in expanded mode (aka 6.x style)

Also any trick to dim navigation bar button's brightness ? They are too bright :p

(other than changing them entirely via substratum )
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chem20:
In the latest update when dialing a number or receive call screen was freezing and white
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Nope not on my side.

What phone app do you use?

Try wiping data of that app and try again.

Use latest dark Gapps and official Google phone app updated to latest release...

When problem persists, logs.....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Not on dialing screen but Today my Google Phone App froze after disconnect.

It stayed in disconnecting state even after i swiped it away & try to re-open.

after force reboot i can't reproduce till now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Hi [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] do you plan to release a new version with the latest Security patches for the KRACK vulnerabilities? They are provided under the 2017-11-06 security patch level.

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-11-01

Friend, please don't get me wrong. This is no request for ETA or something similar. Just a question without any expectations.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
It's already there in 11/02 build, LOS fixed it before Google :p

Edit : Has some one tried whats-app fresh install on 11/02 build ? , i tried reinstalling whatsapp today but i'm not getting it to sysnc my conatcts name to chats, all chat is there but without name, just phone numbers are showing.

I tried every possible solution (reinstall, old stable, beta version, clean cache & delvik, Play service reset, contacts reset all of it :( ) except back-porting ROM to previous version , nothing is helping.

will try previous ROM version in an hour.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nbn22385:
Happens to me sometimes. Try going to settings > contacts and uncheck "Show all contacts". Then on the main chats screen, click the FAB to create a new chat, you should get prompted for permission to read contacts. Allow that and it should be fixed. You may or may not need to re-enable the setting for "Show all contacts".
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
I tried force sync by "show all contacts" but i haven't tried new conversation via FAB after that.

Will try it after an hour since Whatsapp block me for 4 hrs due to multiple verification in short time.

Man if this will work, i gonna be very furious on myself, wasted more than six hours to fix it via every senerio possible except trying to chat with some new contact -_-

Let's see, was i really dumb to not try that or it's something else ?

Answer reveals in an hour. :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
This solved it, at-least for now, I still lose names if i untick show all contacts, so apparently Whatsapp thinks my contacts as hidden some how :rolleyes: (will get back to that after a month or two by clean flashing rom)

Thanks for You input , and to put a note we need to follow the exact sequence that you mentioned , changing even singe step doesn't resolve issue.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION]

This happened again.

Call got stuck on Disconnecting for good 5-10 minutes

See attached log. & suggest what's the conflict.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bobcote:
I don't know if it's related but since October 29, date of my previous upgrade, the Google News & Weather app is not able anymore to update its news and weather. It says to verify my Internet connection.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Did your balance get cut? Can you check that? I mean, did your operator count it as call on or only it showed on device
[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:
Just realized something accidentally, my MAC adress is changing by itself ?!? I am supposing MAC is a physical adress from device and It can't be changed ? Am I wrong or something going wrong on my phone ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
It was an incoming call

In morning, it was outgoing but i think on disconnecting, call immediately disconncets for other side.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Never encountered something like that, and I'm flashing a lot...

Change it back if you need to:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cesarato.macchanger
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
seems like something messed with your EFS.

if you have your EFS partition backup, restore it. That'll solve this issue. (use the oldest one if you have multiple backup of EFS in TWRP, that's reduce chance that backup one is also corrupt)

If you don't have EFS backup just ignore MAC changes or use manual MAC changer apps, but this won't solve it permanently.

Also for All People, it's always advisable to backup your EFS partition the minute you start thinking about changing anything in device other than stock.

It contains every device specific sensitive info (IMEI for example)

There's Option in TWRP to backup EFS or Search XDA how to backup EFS for other methods.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:
Restored my EFS backup through twrp, no joy its still changing.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Means the one you have in backup is also corrupt.

Hopefully your IMEI is still intact (it's not 000000 or changing)

Anyway like i said you can always ignore MAC changes or use manual method to set what you want.

Btw have you tried reflashing stock ROM ?

Afaik Nexus devices come with backup EFS partition and reflashing stock rom sometimes (not always) fixes issues like this.

If it really bothers you you may try it.

(Backup everything before flashing stock rom, i mean literary everything.. photos , docs, apps , contacts)

There are ways to keep data but still better safe than sorry :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:
Nope my IMEI is intact,its not changing :)

Googled through this problem and many many people in android/ios community has it.Very strange to me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] frantisek.nesveda:
Where do you see that the MAC address is changing? In WiFi settings?

Since Android 5.0, Android is randomizing the MAC address when scanning for WiFi, to prevent hotspots from tracking you. But the MAC address used for actual connecting should always be the same.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:
Yep in wifi settings and my router's DHCP lease section.how do I check my real MAC is changing or not?

This is my router's DHCP section as you can see all of these actually one device.my N5.every reboot it changes 00:90:4c:xx:xx:xx
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Settings>About Phone>Status

(some ROM requires WiFi on (connected/not connected doesn't matter) to show MAC)

btw MAC randomization feature only works while searching, not after WiFi gets connected. (that also not on all devices)

So basically once your N5 is connected to router, DHCP will show real MAC.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CoolKitty:
I think I have discovered something but I'm not too sure so can anyone confirm that using PIE and rotating the phone to change the screen orientation, while battery saving is enabled, breaks PIE? Happened to me three times already and I've managed to manually reproduce it only once (by changing the orientation fast a few times)

And while we're on the subject, is there any way to use split screen multitasking or one handed mode with PIE?

Edit: It just happened again but this time after I locked and unlocked my phone. Battery saver was enabled and screen orientation was landscape.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
I haven't got that problem when rotsting the phone on battery saver but I did notice that pie still breaks every now and then. Not as frequent as before, but it still happens. When this happens, locking and unlocking the phone solves it.

You can use split screen by going to recents, holding on an app and dragging it to the top of the screen.

No way yo use one handed mode though, afaik.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Nik2296:
I used *#*#4636#*#* to enable LTE only network mode. When I restarted the phone, the network seemed to go into a loop. (Even the Cellular network settings). I had to revert to stock. Any cause or solution for this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:
so mate is my phone have wifi mac problem or not? :))) routers dhcp section is normal or not I did not understand fully :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Check here,

Settings>About Phone>Status>MAC (don't connect phone to any WiFi network, don't even enable WiFi on phone, DarkROM show MAC without enabling WiFi as well, so it's fine)

if it keep changing on reboot or any other event then it's Phone's issue.

Don't make it complicated.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Harsh_07:
