[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
You are right, it's not as secure. When I added the option in nougat, I made sure that the original implementation is untouched if the feature is not turned on. So, unless you actually enable it, there are absolutely no security holes (or exactly the same that aosp has). It's then up to everyone to choose of is worth enabling it or not.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
It should be in M because i'm using DarkGapps since N without TTS and never had problem. (so you may remove TTS APK from next update, since free space in /system after DarkGapps installation is in KBs.)

Also, Chrome is mandatory for DarkROM as you already pointed out, No Webview ! Actually, I forgot that you don't include webview, which is fine because since N Chrome becomes default webview even if you include separate one.

I faced the issue with DarkOreo without chrome, but simple workaround is,

skip the Google account addition during setup wizard

Sideload Chrome from apkmirror

Setup Google account ;).

Of course, this is not needed if one doesn't modify system partition much for other Mods.

I think, resized issue of /system after re-flash is due to sector to sector installation method in new system.transfer.list, it considers 26144 as last block of that partition. (I might be totally wrong...i'm guessing based on installation script values)

For Dirtyflash one can include resize2fs line in Gapps' Backup script.

Personally i revert back to Default system partition as i tend to debloat system after initial setup with gives me enough space for other mods.

I'm fine with most of my Gapps in /data as after one update /system Gapps are just placeholder.

Finally, I merged 700MB from /cahce (leaving ~20MB) in /data partition so that it can be useful :p

Any chance that you used ARISE of any other mod that uses su.d for giving SELinux permission to some apps ?

if so delete /system/su.d folder and it'll be fine (backup that folder before)

BUT, even with su.d , System should be rw in recovery mode, I don't knwo why you are facing issue in recovery !
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Can anyone link default wallpaper from DrakOreo or tell me where can i find it in ROM ?

i tried looking pixle launcher, frameworks.res , google wallpaper provider APKs with no luck :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Andriy2:
I didn't install anything else (just DarkROM, Dark GApps and Magisk).

There is no such file (/system/su.d), also system is rw, but only for new files (I can create, but cannot nor edit, nor delete exist files)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
That's weird.

I was able to edit files. May be OP can help.

I flashed dirty this Rom and I want to tell you this is Awesome

Thank you so much

This is Awesome
[Nexus 5 Android Development] FirePower36v:
I've had a similar problem, I have installed dark rom 8.1.0 but many apps wasn't working so I flashed the previous version of the dark rom (the last 7.1.2) and after flashing and configuring all, some sdcard folder had wrong permissions so i wasn't able to delete some files/folders, create folder in some folder etc... so I've used a command in the terminal that restore sdcard permissions, if you want to try, I'll send you the thread link
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
I hadn't thought of this. Normally system is mounted RO, so an update would have to be installed on /data.

My main device ended up with some folders on the SDCARD that I can't get rid of. Perhaps this would help.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Yes that's why i see no point in increasing /system size for adding more Gapps because we can always download extra Gapps from play-store and it save us the trouble of resize2fs on ROM update.

Btw if you are on DarkOreo can you extract default wallpaper for me ? (one that's already applied when we 1st boot)

this will help : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.alroe.apps.WallpaperSaverFree

just set default wallpaper (if not already) and save via this app.

I'm back on DarkN as Oreo is not stable enough for me to use on my daily driver :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
I've already changed the wallpaper. Not sure which one was the default, or how to set it back. Checked just now and I didn't see "Set Default" or anything.

I've used this guide when i was trying the android 5.0 open beta, it had many problems so i returned to KitKat waiting for a more stable release of Lollipop and had the same issue, fixed with the same guide.

Obviously you must be rooted, and even if the guide says that is for android lollipop, it worked also on my nexus with nougat, the command that i've used is the one at the point 1).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Oh...You won't find set default option but wallpaper should be there in list. It's similar to attached pic but much vibrant.

see if you can find in wallpaper list, if not it's fine.

Thanks for your efforts :)

Hello everyone I flashed this Rom by clean way, but there isn't Delta update in setting

What can I do??

And I downloaded last release separately,can I flash it dirty??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vanquish17:
Don't expect delta updates option on a rom which is in BETA stage......let it become stable......

*Clean flash is always a recommended option, however dirty flash would cause you no problems!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] m.morcielago:
You mean we have to use clean flash every time ?

With each realese we have to clean every apps and setting?

It's really boring

stuck at 'Android is starting...' anybody knows the issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Did you flash Dark Gapps?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vrushant:
I guess u haven't flash dark gapps. If u have an apk of some different launcher than install it by going in settings & storage & files
[Nexus 5 Android Development] burakthepascal:
yes , it is dark gapps that i flashed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Andriy2:
Hello [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] again!

I discovered reason for /system Read-Only mode - this is because of resize2fs command after flashing
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vanquish17:
No...not required.....dirty flash will do

However when the stable build gets released....do a clean flash
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vrushant:
What kernel do you recommend ElementalX or unofficial fracno kernel
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Andriy2:
Confirmed!

ElementalX 9.04 kernel booted successfully on DarkROM 8.1.0
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vrushant:
Okay thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Why not? It's 8.1 Android
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kira6667:
It's not working with any apps even though I have enabled it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
It won't work with every app on any other other 8.1 version. The app has to support that feature.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
I don't think the Mobile Network Standby drain is anything to worry about. I'm getting better battery life on standby on Oreo than I got with Nougat. I can't remember what it was on Nougat, so I don't think it's significantly better, but it isn't worse. That said, if there is some way to mitigate the Mobile Standby usage, then the battery life would be hugely better, as Mobile Standby is still the biggest portion of usage (see screenshot). NOTE: This usage was mostly the device just sitting around. I wanted to test just the standby usage. I'll have some more tests on the way.

I have suspicions that something that was previously lumped into System usage, is now lumped in with Mobile Standby, because as you can see, System, which used to eat up a lot, only used 4%. Anyway, just a theory.

I have installed YouTube app which supports it but still not working I have also tried it with maps. When I play a video then click it will just pause not making any smaller screen.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
As other people said, you can dirty flash, but if you face a problem, clean flashing is recomended.

An other option I like to use is wiping only System, Dalvik and Cachd (and NOT wipign Data and Internal Storage). That way you won't lose all your apps, data or settings. It's a much cleaner dirty flash.

If you do this, you must flash Rom, gapps and root again though, since you wiped System. But that's not much of a problem
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
You need a YouTube red subscription for YouTube pip to work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] m.morcielago:

Is there a way to add STK (SimToolkit)?

It used to be in the Extras for Nougat but now there are no extras.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
Have you tryed wiping System, Dalvik and Cache (NOT data)?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Why apps are not updating? I have a WIFI but it is very slow
[Nexus 5 Android Development] m.morcielago:
No I didn't

I just wanted to flash

What happens if I do this, but then I can not install the new version?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
As stated before, clean flashes are always recomended, so if dirty flashing fails, the worst thing that can happen is you will have to clean flash like you were supposed to do in the beginning.

That said, you "should't" have any problems wiping System, dalvik and cache, and later flashing rom, gapps and root, since it is almost a clean flash. But you should always make a backup before trying something you don't know is going to work 100% sure.

Flashlight+Camera

Hello guys,

I'm still on the latest nougat update from the dark ROM. Usually when my flashlight stops working(therefore the camera stops working), I restart my phone and everything gets back to normal. However since the last 2 days, the flashlight is acting strangely. I have restarted my phone for about 15 times, the flashlight needs about 5 seconds to turn on or off after the restart directly(camera doesn't work). After some time, the flashlight stops working. Thus, the camera won't work in both cases. I've searched online for a solution, all claim that the restart solves the problem which is not the case. Do you think there is solution before I start a factory reset or reflashing the rom since I have so much data to backup? I tried clearing the camera app data but nothing worked.

PS: The camera won't work in the stock camera app, snapchat, instagram, and whatsapp.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] xenyz:
Can you please elaborate on what issues you had? I'm using N5 as main device and am hesitant to jump to Oreo because of this.

Dude that is crazy good standby battery drain for hammerhead: you had it going for 44 hours and it's less than 1%/h on both cell and WLAN and you must have had a bit of screen on time as well.

Normally to get this sort of idle drain you need to be on Airplane mode or WLAN only. The mobile radio will always be the largest drain for standby and there's no way around it.

I can only guess you don't have many apps installed, but still that is about as good as it gets.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Which kernel? Try ElementalX - standard settings. Solved those FCS/lags for me.

And how many apps are opend in the background when the flash stops the show for you?

Some kernels/kernelsettings have problems with multiple processes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BROTHERS Makki:
Thank you for the reply.

I'm using the default kernel of the dark rom. I will try the elementalx. I tried clearing all background apps but the problem wasn't solved. How's the elementalx kernel performance regarding speed and battery?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] abhishek_jadav:
23/3 build do not to connect to other device on shareit and xender. I'm trying to connect with pixel 2(7.x).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
So Far no bugs ROM is stable for me. I did a clean flash. Also installed elementalx works perfectly fine. Love the camera also. Can't wait for the next update. Problem is font is not ProductSans. Need to flash the zip but makes the colon on lock screen a box. Still works fine. Thanks Dev
[Nexus 5 Android Development] @vjnexus:
Video recording???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
The font is exactly the same as the pixel. On the pixel not everything is productsans, only some highlights here and there. I have a pixel 2 xl to compare and it's the same.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Compared to N,

First i didn't find it as smooth performance wise.(main reason)

Overall battery drain was higher even on battery drain fixed build.

Camera/Video recording was hit n miss.

Got 1-2 FCs & Freezes in some apps.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

That's weird, i copied all fonts form DarkOreo to DrakN and i have Sans almost everywhere.

I also tried that zip from one of pixle 2 thread before that and it didn't work properly.

I think DarkOreo's font are perfect for N5, i dont have any issue on lock screen as well. So, lockscreen fix is not required.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hiyaslalabs:
Okay How to revert back to your stock fonts on Dark Oreo?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TNTm64:
very impressive oreo rom for n5 .

Anyone did dirty flashing from 7.1.2 Dark to this 8.1.0 Dark?

Any trouble you've got so far after doing it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
Read the last few pages or use the search button. You'll find all you need.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuananhcwrs:
I remember someone said that he did dirty flashing. And things still going good to him. Here I just want some updates.

My question is more like to get more confirmations.

It is quite obvious that an issue happens to one device but not to others even they are same kinds.

I am extremely familiar with the rules here and sure to know that searching is always a big help.

However, everyone has right to double-check.

So to put this in a simple way, it is just like "double checking a known issue".

Sorry if my response hurts your feeling. Just to make it clear. And I am more happier if someone give me some goods.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
People have reported dirty flashing from Nougat successfully, so I'd create a nandroid before and give it a try. If something goes wrong, simply restore the nandroid.

My recomendation would be:

- Create nandroid

- Wipe System, Dalvik and Cache only (DO NOT wipe Data and internal storage)

- Flash Rom, Dark Gapps, root

- Reboot

This way you won't lose your apps or data, since you didn't wipe Data, and wiping System makes it less probable to face problems.

Report back with your results.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuananhcwrs:
I only wiped Dalvik and Cache only to install Dark 8.1.0.

So far everything is good except Chrome not working :(

And a bit laggy I can say.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuananhcwrs:
If any of you have the same idea like I had that dirty flashing, from major to major, will help you have system updated and all pre installed apps stay the same, then here are something for you:

- you will see that the apps you installed still there with their data.

- but some of them won't be functioning.

So, conclusion:

If there is no Open Delta working, just one thing you should do, that is clean flashing.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Some to report on my end.

First, I swapped out my sim, it didn't connect (to be expected), so I rebooted. Bad things happened and I have a bunch more ANRs. Basically the same thing happened with the previous ones I posted, but constantly on boot. Would seem to boot just fine, but screen would lock up after a few seconds and wouldn't accept input. Again, power menu could be opened, but nothing else. Would reboot on its own after a minute or two like that. Was basically stuck in a bootloop, but it would actually boot and there was enough time to get into one app before no touch then crash. I reflashed to fix.

Second, and this is likely related to my /system resize, dirty flashing froze before getting to the flashing part. I probably should have found a way to get logs, but I just shut it off and wiped system and flashed.

Third, and this is likely not useful to anyone, I flashed ROM, resized back to 1532 after ROM sized to default, flashed gapps, then got bootloop (not like above). Would sit at "Android is starting" for a bit then crash. rewiped and flashed, just ignored the size stuff, and it worked just fine. It's possible that dirty flashing won't work if system has been resized. I think I'll stick with the advice given, that being just clean up system gapps after setup if more space is required.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nooboff:
Don't know much about Android, but I know what I like.

Darkrom.

Can't use AdAway because of the space problem. If I missed something it would be nice if somebody would say. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
You can delete some system apps(for example mail app, AOSP keyboard if you are using Gboard). See what is not that important that needs to be system app , delete and download from play store so it became user app.

You only need few mb for adaway
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nooboff:
Thanks, will give it another go when Dark_Eyes gives us another build.

Now on Dirty U's 12.1
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Marc'Z:
I'm getting a lot of app crashes (Google, Gmail, AirDroid...), is this normal with this rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TNTm64:
All apps work fine for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
So, I discovered that the crashing I've been experiencing is a bug that I can always reproduce. If I try to interact with the phone immediately after boot, it will always hang the screen and crash like this. I have to give it a minute or two to get further along starting everything up and it's fine every time I do that. Doesn't explain why it happened that time previous when the phone had been on for days, but the ANRs I posted in the quoted post should reveal something. I actually noticed this on Dark Nougat as well. If I restart my daily driver that's still on Dark Nougat and try to do anything immediately after bootup, it will sometimes crash and reboot.

Doesn't reflashing the DarkGapps go through and remove conflicting apps? I see that step in the flashing, though I'm not sure if it actually cleans any apps from system that are already in userland. I'll have to give it a try.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
It has nothing to do with conflicting apps, you are trying to make space in system for additional apps.

I don't know exactly what comes with Jean's gapps, but I'm sure AOSP email is one of them. You can delete it and download Gmail from play so it becomes user and not system app. You can remove clock, calculator, AOSP calendar to make space in system and later, download all of those apps again but from Play store.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
I was just thinking that the script checked userland to see if any of the system apps its installing exist there before installing them. Guess not.

EDIT: I just remembered why I thought this. When my device kept crashing, I wiped system and reflashed, but the first time I did ROM, resize /system, then Gapps. Doing in this order made system usage at something like 950mb for some reason instead of the 1009mb or whatever it hits normally without the resize. I just assumed that it didn't install some in system that I had in userland, but it didn't actually boot doing it this way and when I did wipe flash flash without resizing, it took up the 1009 like normal that time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Only AOSP ones with Google ones or vice versa. It's the thing with all gapps, Open,Beans etc. Or just adding additional ones
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chem20:
Titanium backup restor backup fine for you?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TNTm64:
i clean install all rom and apps. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
App by app without data. Afterwards only app data by app data. This way no probs
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
So, if I'm reading this right, you did Titanium, flashed, then installed the apps normally, then restored data app by app?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BROTHERS Makki:
Will wiping data in twrp wipe my whatsapp folder in internal storage?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
No.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lulli1:
Exactly. This way it will work, even when standard mass restoring via titanium breaks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tuananhcwrs:
The Nexus 5 has a dead point. It is the power button. I always try to not use it.

The dard 7.1.2 really provided good alternative way to turn off/restart/wake up the phone.

But these features still are missing in the dark 8.1.0. I hope they're coming soon.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
There is a "double tap status bar to sleep" option in Oreo. Cuts down on some button usage at least.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys, I just pushed a brand new build. It didn't have much new features, but it has all upstream lineage commits, and April security patches.

NFC might be broken again because lineage pushed new commits and I wanted to test them. If it doesn't work I'll revert back to the old implementation.

Enjoy and let me know how this goes!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vrushant:
Just flashed the update, nothing huge changes as developer already mentioned. Now you get April security patch ??. Don't know about NFC service as developer has mentioned that it would be broken but I'm definitely sure that it isn't draining crazy battery ( haven't rebooted the phone so it might change )
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TNTm64:
when i flash last build in twrp i stuck at detected filesystem ext4
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HermannSenator:
NFC works fine even after a reboot.

EDIT: Elemental X is working, It also switched SELinux to Enforcing and nothing seemed to break!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vanquish17:
So change your cache/system partition to ext4
