Donations and help needed

First, I'd like to take a minute here to thank the users who donated to me. It always feels like a Christmas morning when my paypal app pops ;) I notice since the start of this project that some donations are made by guest users on xda. That might happen if you are not logged in at the time of the donation. If that ever happens, I won't know who you are (well not on xda), so I can't add you to the donation Hall of Fame. It's important to me to put your name there, so if you ever donated and you don't see your xda name in the OP, please pm me so I can make it right.

That being said, i'd like to get a hand here if possible. I've been looking for the black pixel bootanimation with sound, and couldn't find it for the Nexus 5 dpi. So, i'd like if someone could find me one, in the Nexus 5 thread or elsewhere (Nexus 5X has the same dpi for example) so I could add it to the ROM. One could also edit the old one and add the sound manually. That's harder than it looks because bootanimation are picky. You need to edit them in a particular way, and it needs to be zipped using a certain compression ratio, etc. I don't want to invest too much time on this, but it would be nice if someone could do it and send it to me. I'll gladly add it in the rom. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vurey:
Yeah, it's enabled. Never mind. Snapchat is still logged in and there's nothing else I need it for.

Netflix isn't working here :(. I've found on the lineage 14.1 thread that more people are having issues with video apps.

Edit: nvm, it was a bug in the Netflix app and chromecast.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alsheron:
Thanks for the info. :) I think Ill do a clean flash as you suggested which should save me a lot of time tinkering trying to fix it and I like to have everything working "just right" anyway and don't mind clean flashing too much as everything's backed up quite well to restore on Nougat. I'll let you know if there are any issues after that but I'm sure it should be fine with a clean flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MuhammadHesa:
I just want to share this :)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
It's perfect! Thanks a bunch!

It will be in next update ;)

EDIT : Damn, just after I spent 10 minutes figuring out how to turn blurred lockscreen off by default, I see that Lineage had already merged the exact same commits. Lol, apparently it was controversial somewhere else too ;) Luckily it was an easy enough job...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hamimi:
having problem with the camera and random reboot thing. when hold power button will make the phone reboot itself.

trying to find the solution anyway..

will update later.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] suchks:
Looks like you got the dreaded power button issue and not a ROM specific problem. If you are having the same behavior on other ROMs, you need to get the hardware fixed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aslam_:
is it just me that this rom doesnt show 'about app' when long pressing the icon?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] silvertrain78:
Same here
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hamimi:
not my hardware prob. it happen after update the rom to 18/1.

will figure it out later after flash this new update.

btw,substratum legacy works very well even with android system applied.:victory:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rebel377:
i clean installed the rom but its stuck at android is starting...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GopalKaul:
Can we get one handed mode?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] loneim:
I like the blur background but it's not working like it should. Do you think it could be possible, for example, to enable it just when there are notifications? It also doesn't show the wallpaper but the latest app before locking.

Awesome rom by the way, I'm using the caf based as daily drive and it's the best I tried so far! keep going :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hugo9191:
Is it possible to disable the sound during bootup? I honestly don't want that to ring when I reboot the phone during class.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] suchks:
Try switching the Power On Sounds to Off from Sound -> Other sounds.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hugo9191:
Thanks fam!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
I'm not the one who came up with the blur lockscreen feature, but I think it works as it was intended, meaning the lockscreen becomes the last screen you saw before putting the phone to sleep, but blurred to hide important info. Read the commit message here :

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/158206/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Alpha-Retard:
Latest build is amazing as far is battery life is concerned. 4+ SOT is back. Currently at 60% with 2 hours SOT. I did have a reboot yesterday while watching YouTube tho. If it happens again, I'll make sure to post the log. Anyway, keep up the good work. This is without a doubt the best Nexus 5 rom.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

This is very annoying but I think it has nothing to do with the rom instead with the Pixel launcher.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ronymishchuk:
I think the issue is that it doesn't blur for some people. It's just transparent.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
That's actually quite possible. I think the lib wasn't added by default on the AOSP version. I'll fix it in the next release. The CAF one works for sure, that's the one I tested it with.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ronymishchuk:
Oh. When this is fixed will you be able to increase blur intensity?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mkoev:
Hello guys,

Coming from the official Lineage 14.1 thread, getting ready to use Dark Rom as a daily driver. Just one question though. What will happen now that Lineage (AOSP) is official? I mean regarding dirty flashing new nighties, would there be any problems if I flash the later versions over the dark rom build from Jan 23rd?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Installing dark rom over lineageos should theoretically work without issues, but it's not recommended. You can try it and if everything is fine then you saved yourself a bit of trouble. If you have any kind of issue, you'll need to clean flash before posting about bugs or asking for help. It's always true, when installing a new ROM, you should clean flash to prevent incompatibility and conflicts.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kamild_:
Still using DARK ROM as a daily driver, I'm really satisfied with it, got used to the smoothness and I'm not feeling like switching anytime soon (maybe except when a decent Nougat-based MIUI ROM gets released or sth). Thank you a lot for your work!

By the way, a small thing I noticed in the first post:

It'd be great if you mentioned here that if you're running the "Magisk + phh's Superuser" configuration, all you have to reflash after each update is Magisk. Reflashing phh's SU isn't required.

PS: I just updated to the latest build. Also noticed the blurred lockscreen, I actually like how it works, makes it feel like unlocking is more... "seamless" in a way, and from the aesthetic point of view I'm lovin it :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Afnantahir:
Can anyone tell me please that whether i should re root my mobile or is it ok without rooting again because i lost my root after installing this rom. So is it necessary to root again to use fully this rom or will it do without root too. As per my knowledge i dont have any issues but i wana knw if root is necessary for full performance of this rom. I m using aosp version. Thanks in anticipation
[Nexus 5 Android Development] midijunkie:
you should not root.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
It depends on your needs. If you never use it, don't install it. It won't affect performance and it won't be any better or worse.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sghmk12:
Wait so are you using magisk on caf? If so does magiskhide and safetynet apps like snapchat work? I'm only using aosp because I heard magisk doesn't work on caf
[Nexus 5 Android Development] twili9ht:
I just noticed I can't edit quick settings anymore. I can still enter the edit menu but I can't add or remove icons/settings by dragging anymore. Anyone else with this issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] reload05:
I like clean installling rom, gapps, SuperSu, Busybox.

With Titanium Backup it is easy to restore all apps and their settings/data in minutes.

The only problem are all the rom-settings that i have to edit manually to their previous settings.

Is there a possibillity to save these settings and restore them after a clean installation of the rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] M Asad Khilji:
Latest builds seems fast to me in performance as well as battery life is also improved to 4+ SOT

In stock i have 4:30+ SOT but this one is not bad with great performance :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kamild_:
I'm not using any of the SafetyNet protected apps, but there's a SafetyNet test embedded with Magisk Manager. I tried to run it and the test never completes/succeeds, so I think it doesn't.

Although I may try installing MagiskHide later. Then I'll tell you if these apps work :) How does Snapchat behave if the SafetyNet check fails?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] swa100:
I do have the option on my Nexus 6p with Google pixel launcher. So I guess it is rom related. Would be great if we can get this on our N5 running darkrom!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] naitik102322:
hows the battery life guys and which kernel goes best with this rom?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Still working fine on my end... Maybe try rebooting the phone?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] twili9ht:
I tried that already but I still can't drag icons. I did change the amount of columns to 4 instead of 3 I don't know if the problem is related. After changing it back to 3 I still had the problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hugo9191:
Now the lockscreen shows the last thing the phone showed. How can I put it back to the original state?

[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] Already told you that your ROM is awesome but your kernel tweaks in AOSP lag it sometimes and the VR is like hell device always hang when i try play with VR.

I have told you so many times. Please provide a solution

Or you can add an option for vr mode in which device run at its full.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
It's weird, I can add or remove tiles no matter how many columns I set. Try grabbing a logcat, maybe there is something in there that will help me diagnose the problem. Otherwise a clean flash will probably take care of this, but I'm confused as to why this even happened in the first place.

The kernel settings are the default LineageOS ones. Feel free to change them to whatever you think is better. It's your responsability to tweak your phone the way you want. I'm sorry but I can't do anything for you here. How I am supposed to tweak the settings to please everybody at once? It' just impossible.

As for VR, the Nexus 5 isn't even supposed to support it. It's the main reason it didn't get official Nougat in the first place. Don't be surprised it doesn't work well. If you want VR, get another phone. No kernel tweaks or ROM or whatever will help you here. The phone is just not capable of doing that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bravesoul349:
Then How VR work smoothly with stock ROM?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sghmk12:
Well safety net can't be passed without magisk hide enabled and you can't install magisk hide it's an option in the magisk manager app that you turn on. First grant the magisk manager root permissions from the PHH superuser then go to settings and enable magisk hide then reboot. Then check the safetynet again. If this works I would like to know if you're on caf because so far caf has not worked with magisk. And as for snapchat it won't let you log in when safetynet fails
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kamild_:
Ah I forgot to specify, yes I'm on CAF. I enabled the option and rebooted, it still doesn't pass Magisk's SafetyNet test. I also tried to register on the Snapchat app (after I checked the Snapchat app in Magisk Manager's Magisk Hide settings), but after I try to tap "Continue" after entering the password, I'm getting the "There was a problem connecting to the server" error.

[MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] Why my phone is heating up when watching movies on mx player ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] WSeb:
Hello Dark_Eyes_, I have problems with apps that use Widevine DRM (MyCanal and Google Play Movies) on the CAF version. Apparently this due to some changes on the source, take a look at this post : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=70698821

Experience7 published a new experimental build which solves the problems *(https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=70716933). Could you please use this and apply it to the CAF version of your build ? Or ask experience 7 what changes he made ?

Envoyé de mon Nexus 5 CAF en utilisant Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
What stock ROM? The last real ''stock'' ROM for the Nexus 5 is Marshmallow and I don't think it supports VR. If you have found a ROM that has smooth VR, then either stick with it or find what settings they have and do the same. I don't want to sound rude, but if you're not happy with my ROM, don't use it. It's not my job to make it the way you want.

I think I found why the CAF version is failing safetynet. It might have something to do with UKM and Synapse. I'll try to remove Synapse support and see if it passes. If it does, it will become a poll between people who want Synapse vs people who want to pass safetynet.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sghmk12:
​

Yep that's where I left off before switching to the aosp version. For some reason truesight kernel isn't totally magisk compliant and it's the only caf kernel available.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mkoev:
Dark_Eyes_ great rom, man :)) Using it for a couple of hours, really smooth, stable and quite nice! :)

One thing though, weather is not showing up, just the clock :( I searched in the thread, but the solution was that it would show up eventually after some time.... but how much is that? Must location be turned on for this to work?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
It is kinda normal to have the phone heat up a bit when doing intensive work. Watching a movie can be power hungry on the CPU/GPU, and obviously the screen is on for a long period of time. I wouldn't be concerned by it, unless it gets really really hot.

I'll cherry-pick everything widevine related in the next version. I'm pretty sure it will be in the official repos, but if not I'll ask experience7

My understanding is that you need to have Google Now enabled to have the weather. From the main pixel screen,. swipe right to get the google now page and activate it. Then, after some time (couple minutes), weather should show up. It will probably need the location too... maybe that's your problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sghmk12:
Thanks so much, this ROM is so perfect and the caf support is the icing on the cake.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Karnage11:
awesome if you can get that to work , i can use my android pay :)

Just a feedback, after the 1/23 update i am getting a random no display issue. no trouble with the previous releases. a reboot fixes issue.

Because the Google Store is so back-dated to get a pixel xl, can I just go to Verizon, pay cash for a pixel xl, then flash the stock ROM to it and then get the factory updates?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tiny70thomas:
The way I understand it Verizon updates will come the same time as Google's. Also the only are like 3 apps from Verizon, and they are uninstallable.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] evoschecter:
I pre-ordered from Google, got 5 WEEK wait notice 2 weeks after ordering so, I cancelled the order. I went to a Verizon store picked up a pixel XL, while walking out the store uninstalled anything with verizon and put my AT&T Sim card in. Simple as that, No "Unlocking", No regrets.

Did you get the latest update? I'm on AT&T also and did not get the OTA, so I side loaded it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jaxenroth:
The VZW bootloader can only be unlocked via depixel8 once that is done you can flash the Google factory image, which will also flash the Google bootloader, this way all your updates come from Google vs VZW. But hurry this will be patched in November security patch which is nov 7th.

Has anyone actually been successful in flashing the factory image? I was reading the unlock thread earlier and people were saying the flash was failing
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] treIII:
Yes I flashed every image available. And the failures were due to having the wrong drivers. Including myself having the wrong drivers
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lyall29:
Did you flash them 1 by 1 or use the flash all.bat? I looked inside the image zip folder and my god, there are a lot of files in there. I'm used to the Nexus which has the boot.img, system.img, userdata.img, recovery.img and cache.img. The Pixel folder has 19 IMG. Files.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
Apologizes, I'm new here. What is the benefit to flashing the factory image? Does the Google bootloader stay after going to the factory image or will you need to flash it again if i get an update from verizon?

Could you link to the unlock thread. Unable to find it.

What do you mean by drivers? Which drivers are required? I assume they're for the computer side and not on the phone?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] DualSportDad:

If you flash the factory image with the bootloader then you won't have the Verizon locked bootloader. You can lock and unlock.

Has anyone confirmed this to actually work?

No it is not confirmed to be true and I'm pretty sure no one has stated that in that thread. There are other things in play here such as the Cid.

Does it matter which factory image i try to flash to? NDE63N is currently on my phone. The ones listed on the site are NDE63H, NDE63L, NDE63P.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
I just got my phone today so I assume that N is the verizon version since thats what was on my phone. Im now on P from the factory image on the google website.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] polo2883:
That's what I am on too. But the OEM unlocking is still not toggle-able in the developer section.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
Same here but it does say that bootloader is already unlocked below it for me
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
NDE63P is the latest firmware, regardless of where the phone came from. I'm not sure where people are getting this "Google Firmware" thing from that is everywhere. There isn't any special firmware for any carrier or model.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
I see. Is it possible to flash my phone to think its a unlocked Google Pixel instead of Veizon?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
I was just told that P is the latest Verizon version and that L is latest Google version. I'm trying it now.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:

UPDATE 12/17/2016 Charger still works great no issues with it and my Pixel XL

Here is the detailed testing review information http://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Blitzwold USC-C car charger BW-C3 UK.html

Here you can find more detailed testing reviews on other usb devices http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexUSB UK.html OR http://lygte-info.dk/info/ChargerIndex UK.html

UPDATE 11/23/2016, mentioned this charger to Nathan K, and he linked me a review done by HKJ http://budgetlightforum.com/node/45176.

COMMENTS: "He felt it was "a bit too powerful". Translation (and my opinion): it lacks overload protection safeties, avoid.

"No individual port overload protection."

UPDATE 11/15/2016: I tested with my Pixel XL and it handles 1400-1450mA in port (A) using stock a-c cable and 1450-1530mA in port (c) cabled usb-c..

UPDATE 11/12/2016; This morning I plugged in at 66% on phone, ampere showed the charger feeding 2400mA. This is as fast as my zerolemon QC wall charger on my lg g4.

FIY: I don't think this is capable of charging the Pixel at 18w max, but it should be able to do it safely at 15w (5v 3A). It supposedly can't handle max charging two devices either. It has a permanently attached USB C cable and a USB A slot.
