Hi all, sorry i've been out of the scene for a while. I needed a new stable daily for works and stuff and i rarely flash and read up. Please be patient with me ><

So what is all the deal with CAF and Non CAF issue here? Have been reading comments up to around 10 pages +.

If i were to install the rom now with the given link, what version am i installing here? (CAF? aosp?)

I intend to root and all so i am gonna list down my steps to installing.

1) Update my bootloader, vendor, radio imgs and flashing using TWRP. (My TWRP version is 3.0.2 i believe)

2) As per instructions on first page,

- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

- Install DARK ROM

- Install provided GAPPS (will be using GAPPS so is this ok? banks_dynamic_gapps-7.1.x-20161214_for_DARK_ROM.zip OR

DARK_GApps-7.1.x-0219.zip that is found in beta? (I'm sorry i am so confused as to why there are other versions around.

4) I will be installing magisk as i need root so i will just flash the magisk module v11.1? (Will that give me root straight away?)

Thank you all for reading and thanks for your hard work man [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] . i don't know much about your current situation now but just do what you think is best :) It's your awesome rom and i really thank you for your hard work~!!!

Edit: i am so sorry, i posted on the wrong thread. I am using a Nexus 6P.

Hi, hopefully I can clear up some issues and answer a few of your questions. CAF (short for Code Aurora Forum) is an optimized version of the ROM built specifically for Snapdragon devices such as our beloved Nexus 5. It offers better performance, and battery life than the AOSP build.

The downside to it is that it does not pass Safety net (Google's checks to see if an OS passes CTS, or if it's "legit"). This means that any app that uses SafetyNet will not work. For example, Snapchat won't let you log in, and Pokémon GO will refuse to launch.

I countered that by installing AOSP, logging into Snapchat, and then dirty flashing the CAF build on top of it.

As for the Gapps, use the latest DARK_GApps-7.1.x-0219.zip. It works perfectly on my end.

And as far as Magisk goes, after flashing the 11.1 zip, simply install the Magisk Manager app from the play store and launch it. You'll get root automatically after this step.

I would also recommend updating your TWRP to v.3.0.3 (the non CAF variant works for both CAF and AOSP ROMs). Also we don't have a vendor partition on our Nexus 5 so updating the bootloader and the radio should be good enough.

Hopefully this answers a few of your questions! Have fun using Dark ROM, it's one of the best ROMs available for our Nexus 5, created by a very talented developer! :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
If you're on the 6P you've got the CAF vs NON CAF issue solved since there is only the AOSP version for the 6P.

I think there is no beta release for the 6P yet eather, so that's also not a problem (anyway, if you're looking for a stable daily and won't be flashing updates regularly I'd recomend to use the latest non beta release).

The latest and recomended TWRP release is 3.0.3

If you are running 3.0.2 you can download the lates release from here https://dl.twrp.me/angler/ and flash it from your current TWRP.

You can flash the latest vendor from TWRP as well, but bootloader and radio have to be installed throgh fastboot.

Finally, to get root access you've got to flash Magsik v11.1 in TWRP and then download Magsik Manager from the play store (activate Magsik Hide to pass SafetyNet).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] VnnAmed:
To flash the CAF version should I just download TWRP for hammerheadcaf from the official site? It says there it's from April.

The middle button does not have the pixel icon? In beta CAF build

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

I am on CAF test build. No v4a? Can I get a zip? Dirty flashed. Will report after 1 battery cycle
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Can any1 here port it to gcam 3.2? Love it but it's too old. Dirty flashed it over gcam 3.2 and works sometimes. Please any good developer do it. It words great really!!!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alejka21:
Thanks. I flashed new beta rom + your latest GAPPS. Sorry, but I did not do a clean install. I only wiped system, cache and dalvik (did not wipe data partition). In spite of all the installation was successful without any problem. (I just had to re-install Facebook Messenger.) I'll keep an eye on how Android will behave.

You includeded the Google Camera v2.7.008 (2130300-30). Making photos and HDR+ is working fine, but I think you could include to GAPPS newer version with different signature (v3.2.045 is OK).

And one small bug. It was in previous CAF also. I can turn on torch by long press power button, but I can't turn it off pressing the button again. I have to touch screen notification to turn light off. It's not comfortable. Before Lineage build it was working as it should.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
[MENTION=4347954]Dark_Eyes[/MENTION]: OK, after I downloaded the test build, I installed some of the apps I use. No root. At 4:30 AM I unplugged the charger from my device (100%). At 10:30 AM my device depleted 7℅ from the battery, using just the native doze.

Within the graph, it only shows Android OS, Lineage OS hasn't yet been display. It is also working very smooth, no lags or stutter. One thing I noticed is that when it was flashed, during the set up, network was slow, but that could've been my internet, so I turned it off and use my mobile data. It was displaying h+, only after a reboot it display LTE.

EDIT: Now both (Lineage and Android OS) are display.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pshemo__:
No, just flash it with the standard TWRP
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I thought I included the latest version (3.2) but apparently I was wrong lol. Can anybody give me a link to the proper Google camera app so I can include it in the package?

As for torch, you now need to long press it to toggle it off. It has been natively implemented by Lineage now and the feature is a little different than the one I picked.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Experience7 has abandoned CAF!! Better for us is to go to AOSP, which will ensure updates quickly. [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] can also build from sources like Pure Nexus or fake nexus. It's his wish

Wiped System, Cache and Dalvik and flashed with the new Gapps (and Magisk for root). Everything seems snappy and battery seems to be good in early testing. Thanks for the beta!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
So after a while of using the last 02/12 release and having quite a few performance issues for the past few builds I couldn't figure out why (specifically it would always lag and freeze *very* badly shortly after screen on event after being idle for a while) and generally stuttering to the point of freezing, I've clean flashed the new Beta with Gapps and Supersu 2.79 SR3 only.

Performance and smoothness is hugely improved. No more complete freezes for 10-20 seconds or so and everything feels super snappy. No idea what's changed in the latest beta build but it's a nice jump from the previous build(s) for me at least.

Also, I just wanted to share a tip with others here that I found by accident that may help improve battery life in certain situations. Within Settings there is a feature called Privay Guard which allows to set various restrictions on a per-app basis. What I accidentally found too is under Settings > Memory > Apps started on boot, you can access what looks like a subset of Privay Guard settings which are very useful and from where you can restrict which apps start on boot and which can run in background. Restricting these two factors (start on boot and run in background) can make a significant difference to speed and battery life if you use apps that start at boot and are always running in the background. I was quite careful to not restrict apps in a way that would cause problems, but I was surprised as I clicked through each app how many started at boot and kept the device awake. Preventing apps I don't use that often but like to have available from draining battery in the background has made a noticeable difference in my battery life.

In addition to this, I now use Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store to manage Kernel settings and have had good results with the following:

CPU: Multicore Power Saving: Enabled which I use (or try Aggressive)

GPU: GPU Govenor: simple_ondemand ; Simple GPU Algorithm: Disabled

I/O Scheduler: row

Low Memory Killer: Profile: Very light (tap this to apply)

Remember to enable the Apply on boot switch at the top of each settings section.

I also followed this guide to increase my volume steps(!): https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-more-steps-to-your-volume-slider-root/

Thanks [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] for continuing to update this ROM! I'm (Dark!) eyeing up the LG G6 as a possible upgrade after all these years and I have to say I'll really miss this ROM and community if I do move on. Maybe see you over at the G6 forums?! I've not been in the loop much and have read the past few pages of the thread but not quite sure what's happening with the ROM in terms of moving to AOSP or LineageOS etc. I do personally prefer having the LineageOS features and CAF seems to really benefit the ageing N5 (I think..) so hopefully it will stay with that but there seems to be a lot going on so I'm sure you'll do what makes most sense.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kelevralegend:
Hi Dark it works with all version of Gooogle Camera?

I think that is better if you have some minutes to update the first post so every user will can know the new update.

Thanks for the best work.

Thank you guys so much for the help [MENTION=8039910]TomiLynch[/MENTION] [MENTION=5554234]Tornado15550[/MENTION] still in a work week so i'll have to wait before i flash my Nexus 6P. thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pshemo__:
How much SoT do you get with your settings?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
Well with previous versions of this ROM I've got anywhere up to 4 hours + with these settings. I've also experiemented with switching Hotplug from Alucard to MSM with Minimu CPU Online set to 2 which seems to also give good results. Preventing apps waking the device and/or keeping it awake can help a lot in some cases. See attached for a particularly good day for battery Jan this year.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Chemodroid:
reporting: I noticed that the Facebook Groups app wouldn't load the main page (where it shows my groups). I can scroll right and see my notifications and use them to go into a group, but they wouldn't load on the main page.

I know it's kinda minor issue right now with all the betta action, and tbh it's not that important to me either. buts it worked when I was on stock so I figured it's worth to report.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Chemodroid:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] mkoev:
what CPU governor did you use?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
Interactive. All settings I didn't mention I kept as stock. To be clear, I don't normally get as much sot as in the screenshot. That was a good day where the stars aligned. Normally I get around 3 or so hours SOT, which for the N5 isn't too bad.

I am however seeing a *little* stutter an freezing sometimes after waking the phone up after a period of inactivity. I'm not sure what it could be. Maybe doze is waking up and apps are syncing data. Only ever happens after waking from screen off/sleep.

Testing the feb 20 beta, is the pixel navbar animation supposed to be gone? Everything else seems to be fine.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
The purpose of the last test build is just that, a test build. Dark_Eyes needed our help (owners of hammerhead) to test the build to monitor the battery drain with Lineage OS. Before posting the link he warned us what was in the ROM and what not, and also asked us, if you decide to test it, to do it stock, no root.

If you expect all the goodies from an RC ROM, just go back to Feb 12 build and you should be good to go.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tornado15550:
I hate how entitled some people are. Don't ask for ETA, ROM is provided as is. If you're switching to some other ROM you're free to do so but don't announce it on this thread because no one cares. Nobody is forcing you to install this ROM. You're doing it on your own so please give developers the respect that's due. An update will be out if/when it's ready. Constantly asking for "Dark ROM Reborn" isn't going to make it magically come out any faster. Sorry for the OT, but that comment really bugged me.

I don't know how you guys get this kind of sot. Even with only Whatsapp installed and nothing else I still get max of 2 hrs SOT. I tried 2 new batteries and I give up.... it must be my phone. :))
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jacomail95:
I can give you some advice: I usually have 6 h SOT or more, but I underclocked to 1.2 GHz CPU and 320 MHz GPU (to not lose performance), and I use MicroG, not the Google Gapps

[Nexus 5 Android Development] krombopulos:
for the most stable and bug free I rolled back to 23 January build with the old gapps package provided. but replaced the camera app with the old version for hdr.

Feb 12 build just seems odd to me, with certain things like force close settings when editing status bar time and things unfortunately I can't remember.

The new gapps package provided by dark eyes doesn't let me set up exchange services for email properly, I can begin the process, but it then asks if it pop3 or imap, which it is neither. This doesn't happen with the old gapps, where I can sign in and sync my account as normal.

I've tried other roms in the meantime, but keep coming back to this one, currently I'm on asop (to check if battery life is different), while I like the ability to change kernel settings and they'll actually stick, I definitely miss the snappiness of the caf build.

Announcement #2

Guys,

I made the decision to totally rebase dark rom on a pure aosp sync. No matter what I try I keep getting a big battery drain from Android system/LineageOS system and it's making me sick lol. I might release one last stable build when February security patch gets merged, but after that I'll go silent and work from the ground up on a totally new version. Think of it as a reborn 2.0

Hopefully battery life and performance will be up to my expectations.

Stay tuned!

Does switching to AOSP mean the end of the CAF version of this ROM?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I'm building a Lineage based ROM right now with a few fixes and February security update so you guys have a fully functional build until I release a new one. I started working on the aosp one, but it's gonna be a very long process.

You probably booted the phone before flashing GAPPS, right? You need to flash both at the same time, otherwise you will have problems like that.

Yeah, unfortunately... CAF is close to its death anyway, but for now you'll have one last build to play with.

New build is up!

Guys,

I just pushed a brand new build that has the February security patch, and a couple of fixes. The protected app should be good, along with the date format.

On a side note, I think I have a lead on the Android OS/LineageOS system drain. I read on some OnePlus forum that this drain was caused by the built-in weather feature. I'll add the weather packages back, along with LockClock, so maybe it will fix it. At least you will be able to add the weather on the lockscreen lol.

Hope all goes well with this update!

Enjoy!

I just installed dark rom for first time, and so far loving it. Only one smaill issue, with google camera app.

I used 02/25 build and did a clean install. Used the beta gapps 02/25 build to go with it. The version for google camera says 3.0.45, which seems to be the correct one, where hdr+ should work. But, somehow when I turn on hdr+ mode, it just shows black screen and can't take picture.

Any suggestion on getting hdr+ working (preferably with google playstore not behind me and trying to update the app)?
