So I decided to do a clean install, and formatted the /data and /cache partition as f2fs, and the same issue from 3 months ago is present where the OS completely nukes the entire internal storage upon every reboot, deleting every single file and showing the "Welcome to your new device" setup screen. So word of warning - DO NOT format as f2fs unless you want to lose all your data, stick with ext4. I should really learn to backup my stuff haha.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eto demerzel:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] thx for this rom. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah, I got caught up too a while back. The problem is that the "internal storage" is IN the data partition (it's actually data/media). A normal wipe of data partition excludes the internal storage (thankfully), but you can't reformat only a part of a partition when you change the file system. It has to do it for everything, including internal storage. That's why you end up losing your internal storage too!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tornado15550:
Actually that's not what I meant. I had proper backups.

What I mean is that there is some flaw in f2fs where every time you reboot, your entire internal storage is deleted. The ROM will ask you to set it up again even when you have set it up previously. Easy way to reproduce this issue is to format as f2fs and install the ROM. Set up all your apps and content, and reboot and you'll be presented with the setup screen with all your data wiped.

I have a problem with the Delta updates. I click the check button and it says "Download problem", is there a way to fix this or should I download the new version manualy and Dirty Flash it? (NX 5, LOS Version 14.1-20170442)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] macci10:
You have to download latest version manually this time and most probably next updates will be smoothly downloaded from openDelta. Dirty flashing is your choice.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Icyphox:
Oh jeez, that seems a tad bit serious now doesn't it? Thanks for letting us know, I was just about to format as F2FS.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nooboff:
Another success with quick download from the new server and mille remerciements.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Download has issues since it is not pausable....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dandyzakii:
yes ,i tried 7 times and spent more than 1 GB to download latest build ,now it works
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
I used over 2.5 GB but failed.. will try again. Thanks [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] for paying for a server... I hope everyone donates to cover the cost ?????
[Nexus 5 Android Development] twili9ht:
After dirty flashing the new zip I had Google services problems and all Google apps kept force closing. After flashing Gapps again the Google services errors stopped but Google apps keep force closing.

Am I missing something or do I need to do a clean install?

Edit: I can't link my Google account anymore, even after flashing the previous zip.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I've been dirty flashing the whole time and didn't face such issues, but once you start to get fc of Google apps and the likes, you better clean flash and start fresh. In my experience there isn't any reliable and easy way to fix these.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
Do try to clear Google data within settings, reboot. If that doesn't work, uninstall Google app and re install it. If that doesn't work, then the last option is clean flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] knight862:
Well I didn't try to uninstall and install the Google App but there is definitely a Google Apps force close issue. I make a dirty flash everytime but this time it didn't work. Play services, Allo, Keep and various other Google apps had a force close issue so sadly I had to make clean install.

Yeah, that works too. Actually is much better in the way that you don't have to TS the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Download server keeps going offline. It getting DoS attacked or something?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I've noticed that too, no idea what it is. It seems to be stable now. By the way download should be resumable now! Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Rayfen Windspear:
Yep, finally got it just now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grasshop3r:
Hi [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] If I dirty flash, will I have to flash the GApps also, or just the rom is fine. Sorry if it is a redundant question.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
One way or the other. Flashing the latest gapps is never a bad idea, but not mandatory.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eto demerzel:

I have problems with expanded desktop

When I enable it for certain apps, it stays active for a certain time and then after a bit, like half an hour, it stops working

I always hide only the navbar
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HermannSenator:
Hi all!

It seems I can't download the gapps :v

When I tap on the filename It only returns a blank page. :V

Hmm, I can download the ROM but gapps download link gives me just a blank page.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
I just come from the download page for extra (gapps). Seems to be working fine, information for the file to be downloaded is display, no blank page.

If you are using a PC I suggest you try another browser, I checked it with the Nexus 5.

Hi!

is it possible for someone to make a mirror server and put GApps and Extras archives somewhere? after some time I succeed with rom download, but gapps and extras are still a no-go.. I'm trying to download but still got the blank page :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
I do have them saved in my device, but I don't dare to post mirrors without [MENTION=4347954]Dark_Eyes[/MENTION] permission.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lodufkah:
understood :)

in the meantime I'll keep on trying..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Guys, I'm aware of the server issues. It's probably the code I added to enable resuming downloads. I'll look into it tonight, but unfortunately I can't change anything while at the office. In the meantime, I'd prefer that all downloads go through my website so I can keep track of the downloads. It's gonna be fixed soon, no worries.

Sorry about that!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
No problem. We understand. Best of luck with the server.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Edit : Download of Dark_Gapps and ExtraPackages is fixed. I also removed the resume download code, and it seems to be pretty stable so far. I'll try to make resume download work in a different way.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] OmarKhatib:
update error . always , why?

he say evilbyte.com/xda/.../json.php
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dandyzakii:
seems like doze is not working on latest build?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Because reasons.

Reasons that were explained very recently...

You need to download the full rom because the server changed. The delta isn't looking at a valid url.

The mirror is insanely slow, no chance to download the latest build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] OmarKhatib:
sorry that is my fault
[Nexus 5 Android Development] derulf:
Hi, first: Thank you for the smooth and battery friendly Rom :)

I use the caf version/latest build/all fine !

Second I am interested in using the F2FS but don't want to set up everything new...

thought that some of you guys could do the converting to F2FS easily in a few lines with ADB & Co. Like getting the partitions(all if possible?/makes sense?) to zip on PC/ format to F2FS put the zip back to the phone and so on...would be nice if someone could make a short manual for that. Hope thats not to much off topic and Thank You !

[Nexus 5 Android Development] amitjha2210:
ROM is very stable and the stability increases with every new build. But I have quick question: whenever a new build is pushed does this delta update gets automatically downloaded OTA or do I need to manually download and flash?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] willyinpr4u:
Once the server is fixed, and Delta is implemented, you can use Delta updates from your device to update. But for now, you will need to manually download the ROM and flash it yourself.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
You need to download it manually , or you can change it to download automatically in settings..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] Why is there a VoLTE column in mixer_paths.xml? But in the other pic it shows not for VoLTE. Can you please enable VoLTE provisioned flag again? It might work..... Thanks!! You are the best Dev!! You rented a server for us!! You rock!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nexusred:
i can't download from your server.... can you make mirror download?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Dude, [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] is paying for a server!! Please try and wait... He is paying actually. If he clones it to a mirror, it is useless for him for uploading and renting a server!!! Please have patience...

[Nexus 5 Android Development] TomiLynch:
I have on google chromecast. I'm on 04/28 CAF build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DiavoloPowa:
Idk, maybe it's something related by an old try to enable it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Creelman:
For those looking to flash the new update. I used a download manager on pc, transferred to phone flashed, boots then stuck on Android is starting, flashed black pixel launcher and all is good. If you can't wait.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
This is the first N Rom I've tried and I really enjoy it. I do have a question though..

Is there any way to enable displaying the time of the next upcoming alarm next to the little symbol that indicates there's an alarm coming up in the notification shade like it did on MM?

It's a bit cumbersome having to tap on that to open the clock app and then look through to see which one is applicable.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
If you expand completely the status bar you will see the time of the next alarm.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] focus-pocus:
I got this battery. Seems to be fake. Temperature sensor is stuck at 29C. Do you have the same problem?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kmem:
Yes my sensor doesn't work either which, coupled with the low cost, indicates that the battery is fake. I apologize, I should have mentioned that it didn't function in my original post but I did try to make it clear that I didn't think it was genuine. For what it's worth, I still am getting around 90 percent of the original 2300 mAh capacity according to accubattery and it's been working without issue for a couple months. I seem to get far better SOT (4-5hrs) than I was on my E-Trade supply replacement which did have a working sensor but which I also suspect was fake.

I would be interested how your battery fares or if you find a better replacement in the future. I spent a long time searching for a good vendor before I bought my prior replacement from E-Trade. Everyone seemed to think they sold genuine batteries but the funny thing is that I seemed to get roughly the same SOT with that battery as I did with my original worn battery which by that time was over two years old. Needless to say I was pretty bummed - shipping alone on that battery cost me almost 20 dollars if I remember correctly.

I have considered modding my phone to accept the g2 battery in a quest for more capacity but the problem of finding a genuine replacement still exists.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Should it be here near the alarm symbol? Right now it's showing the current time. My alarm is at 5:50.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] focus-pocus:
Yeah, I also had trouble finding sources for battery replacement. I guess they actually stopped manufacturing this batteries at all. So, we're probably stuck with non-genuine ones. Isn't it dangerous though to not have a working temperature sensor? The battery can explode, if overheated.

BTW, should I clear any battery stats/settings somewhere in ROM after battery replacement? Or just leave it as it is, and ROM will on its own after several charges?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kmem:
I would happily purchase a genuine battery if I could. I have read good things about a site called lgspares but I had also read good things about E-Trade supply and was not impressed. I've also seen good reports about polarcell replacements but I couldn't find one for a decent price when I looked.

I agree that a non-functional temp sensor is not ideal and you're correct that li-ion batteries can indeed explode but I am unsure if Android actually monitors and/or shuts the phone down if the temp becomes too hot. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can chime in regarding this. I can say that I have used battery apps which have the ability to display a warning when the battery reaches a certain temperature and, on occasion, I have reached that threshold - the app did notify that the battery was overheating but Android didn't shut down the phone.

In the end you will have to decide for yourself if it is dangerous to continue using a battery without a working temperature sensor. For me, my E-Trade replacement battery refused to charge from time to time necessitating a replacement. Again, I've been pretty happy with mine especially given the price, save the non-functional temp sensor.

As far as resetting the battery stats I don't​ think it is necessary to do anything if you only use the built in Android battery stats although if you use battery apps such as accubattery or gsam (great apps) I would delete their corresponding data. I forgot to do this on mine but in retrospect I wish I had - I would have a better gauge on how well the replacement is working. Good luck and please share if you find a better replacement option.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NE0HP:
To update you further(not complaining), I still facing issues while downloading NIGHTLY from your server! Attempted 10-12 times to download the rom for last two days and it failed to download. Sometimes download reached up to 80% and then failed. One more thing I noticed is, the ROM(NIGHTLY) size is showing 260.1MB on server but when download begin it just showing 248MB!

I'm sure you're putting all your efforts to sort out this issues and trying hard to make it work!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah, yesterday I had an epiphany. I'll be able to sort some of the issues out and the download will be resumable again. I need to modify a few things though, so it'll take a bit of time. I'll get to it as soon as possible.

EDIT: I also changed the way filesize is reported. I won't go into the details, you can look up MB vs MiB if you are interested, but I changed the server to show MiB instead of MB. It will now be the exact same file size Android and Chrome reports.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Aido:
What would you recommend to install more gapps? I'd like them instead of the stuff in your extras packagae.

VoLTE won't work. Please stop rushing dev to enable flag becouse it'll not do nothing.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tornado15550:
VoLTE hardware is not present in the Nexus 5. Enabling and disabling flags is just a waste of time. If the hardware is not present, it doesn't matter what the software (aka ROM) says. My old Galaxy S II had an enable LTE option in the quick settings which obviously did not enable it because my device didn't have the necessary hardware. It could only use DC-HSPA+. If you need VoLTE that badly, you can always upgrade your phone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
I'd also like to know this please. Are there still issues with f2fs formatted partitions? I'm tempted to reformat and clean flash to get a bit more smoothness and speed. As a separate question can anyone tell me if the aosp version is as fast as the CAF version? Is there much of a difference? Non CAF would allow using other kernels so seems interesting as long as it's not inherently slower.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] derulf:
Data/cache F2FS all working fine...

System / how to - let me know ?

to me it seems that caf version battery lasts longer and charges faster...system performance is fine

:)

P.S.

1. I read al lot of whining because server down, bla... bla.. feels like 50 times one after the other, don't you think that the guy who manages the server doesn't know that without your whining here...

2. Battery and where to buy... also a nice topic ^^but here ?

3. there are people asking questions ON TOPIC that is totally not readable anymore with all that whining and crying... please ...!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
To format System as f2fs you need to set the format mode in TWRP to rm -f (something like that) in the TWRP settings otherwise flashing the ROM will change the filesystem back to ext4. If that doesn't work then you'd have to nandroid backup everything and then restore it (copying the backup to computer before formatting everything as f2fs) using the same above option but I *think* it works just flashing the ROM with that setting. I'm going to try it tomorrow so ill find out soon!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] derulf:
I did and as you wrote(rm -f) but flashing system reverted it back to ext4

Question anyone knows how to pull the system with adb and co to pc and push it back as F2FS

my trial with a android backup did not work for some reason the internal SD was erased.

Sure i just formatted System/data/cache but it was gone... i guess thats a bug - be aware of that!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Sure, already looking into it!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] edi194:
[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] what about Spectrum support? :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
In fact, it's already in! I added the patch manually with the latest build, but like you I didn't get the service bound after installing the app, so I figured I did something wrong. Then I rebooted my phone and voilà! Service bound! So install the app, reboot the phone, and enjoy!

Try a download manager program on pc, laptop then transfer over USB. Many of these programs have a built in resume feature. I dirty flashed the new update this way and had the same problem. I flashed black pixel launcher and it fixed the problem for me. I already had flashed gapps on my previous build so didn't flash it again.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Guys,

a new device just entered the Dark family, Oneplus3/Oneplus3T. Please head over to the official LineageOS thread for that device to know what steps are required to get this to work. I don't own the device, it hasn't been tested by me, so please do this at your own risk. There isn't any reason it shouldn't work since it's all LineageOS repos, but we never know. Please report if it works (and if there are any bugs), and I'll start an official thread once I'm confident everything is good. It's hidden for now, just copy/paste the link : https://darkrom.ca/oneplus3/

I hope you enjoy it!

I installed DARK ROM a few hours ago, for now everything seems good :) For now I only noticed that the first three battery status styles (icon portrait, icon landscape and circle) do not work, the battery icon just stays the same.

I'll be also able to test the connectivity tomorrow.
