Of course. I already mentioned not long ago that the release of new builds would be slowed down, since Android O is around the corner.

But I'll push a new update with some fixes soon.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pmacevad:
Right on. The ROM is running great for me. I confess I didn't read back. Had some trouble getting v4a to install drivers (says BusyBox is missing) but no biggie. Is there a way to install v4a on this rom? Anyways, great ROM. Been bug free in my use.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
You gotta try a few versions. For instance I'm still using "ARISE+Deuteronomy+3.31+SwanSong+Modular+Installer". It's working great for me and it's one of the very few packages which managed to get the drivers installed and work properly on my phone.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
ARISE+Magnum+Opus+20170426

also works great ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pmacevad:

[MENTION=5796730]dragos281993[/MENTION] I don't know why but my swipe for navbar in fullscreen works just fine now. I flashed ROM again because I've messed something up and the only thing I changed is the Kernel from paranoid android. I don't think Kernel has an impact on this but it works. Just FYI.

It's weird. The issue should still be there. It's because of some missing code. It has been added to the sources and that should fix the problem when I release the new build.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
I have absolutely no clue what's going on here.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
If there's anyone wondering why I haven't pushed a new update yet, it's because my HDD has given me some signs of death for the past few weeks. Weird noises all the times and almost 3000 bad sectors have been found yesterday and that's not so good. Some files have been corrupted, etc.

I'll try to see if the bad sectors I found, were marked as unusable during the 'scan & fixing process' I ran yesterday. If things go out the way I want, I could squeeze some more hours out of this thing.

Anyway, I'll push 1 more Nougat update, before Android O is released. We'll rebase the whole thing then, when the sources are released to the public. 'Rebasing' means that we'll go through every single piece of code when we add commits one by one and that gives us the opportunity to pin point easier any potential bugs that might pop up, unexpectedly.

Things look pretty well.

Just downloading the files and ready to flash! Frumos sa vad ca avem si romani care fac custom ROM-uri :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
Finally, a new build !

I've been away from xda and Android stuff in general for the past2months, in case you were wondering why I haven't pushed a new build for so long. You might've thought I stopped the development, but I didn't. I was just too busy for anything other than work, life and the everyday problems.

I have a few free days now which I'll use to rest, mostly, and to throw a look over the things I enjoy doing in my spare time, one of them being Android, of course.

The changelog won't be very specific simply because there are a lot of things that have been changed, moved around, fixed, etc, and it would require too much attention to go through, something I just don't feel like doing right now. BUT I noticed a few things that are important enough to have been easily spotted.

SO, to jump to the important info, this build is the FINAL PD Nougat build. The whole thing will be rebased which means that the code for all the features that'll be added back, will be reviewed thoroughly, and that will offer us the possibility to pinpoint potential bugs a lot faster when they occur.

The new build includes the latest AOSP patches and a lot of fixes, 1 of them being related to the gesture control service, which means that immersive mode works now. The new feature, 'Pie', need that in order to work properly as well. The other changes will need to be discovered by you.

This build is probably meant for those who just cannot live with fully stock Android O and without the bunch of features only the Nougat ROMs have right now, at least for the time being. Those features will be gradually ported to O and in a few months, we'll see probably all the ROMs move to O, with all the features they had on Nougat, up and running.

Anyway, you'll notice that the new build's date is '27th August'. That's because I compiled the build on that date, but I didn't have time to upload it and inform you about it.

But here it is, and from my testing, it seemed super-snappy and I hope you'll like it too.

Links can be found on the first page (first post) along with instructions, etc.

Enjoy ! :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] soypoi:
Hi...like the ROM so far but where is the option to use only fingerprint after reboot? I thought it would be in the ROM settings but it's not...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
Initially, I had a few custom repositories that were not on par with the mainstream ones (slightly modified), from PD, meaning that I had some exclusive stuff in there that was bot present in the official sources, so to speak. But that was when I had time to stay updated with the daily modifications. So I did the very inspired decision to get everything back to the 'stock/unmodified PD sources before getting off xda (temporarily), and that meant the loss of the custom things I had previously added. So that's why "FP authentication after reboot" is not there anymore. Plus that, apparently, this caused issues for those who had their phones encrypted, and that doesn't really make it a fully functional feature.

I knew I'd be missing the updates and basically the progress of the ROM/sources for what's now been a little over 2 months while I've been away, so the changes were obviously going to be pretty consistent, in which case I would've had to waste a lot of time to bring myself up to date. BUT this is also better because we can call the ROM officially supported, instead of having exclusive modification, which would pretty much change PD in an unofficial ROM for the 5x.

I hope I've been explicit enough. If not, feel free to ask some more. [emoji4]

Pixel Dust is by far my favourite Nougat custom rom and I'm curious to see how your oreo build gonna turn out. May the god of android ever be in your favour, man ????
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
I'll post some in the first post shortly. I gotta take a shower first. :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Well, if ExKernel comes with this rom I assume that we can flash custom kernel over "custom" kernel?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
No matter what kernel is included as stock in a ROM, it will play the role of *stock kernel/boot.img. So when you want to flash a custom kernel, you proceed as usual; the instructions are the same.

So even if ElementalX is the default kernel, it won't be considered a "custom kernel".

Is it possible to exlcude the Pixel Dust Wallpaper to a folder or something so that Wallpaper.apk is able to crop (zoom in & zoom out) them? Now you can't and that means every wallpaper that is applied looks like for more then one Launcher Pages. But I need just one Page ?

Yes, those are included. Sorry, the ROM will stay this way.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Sorry to disturb you ?? I noticed another thing. The volume of the media & ringtone are very loud compared to another system sounds. For example if you Lock or Unlock your phone is very loud and the sound if you Touch an icon or a setting is much lower. You know what I mean? Anyways the volume for earphones is perfect.

Nothing on the audio sound has been touched, afaik. I saw you on the Arise thread. Did you install the last zip ?

Ah no I asked just to confirm their presence. I use them all the time so I was just being cautious before flashing a new rom man. Thanks. Downloading now :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Sure but it was loud before I flashed this.

Nothing changed after flashing.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
Any reports a user posts after flashing a package that fiddles with the system partition, will be ignored. I'll add this to the first post just to clear the air. In this case, you flashed a package that enhances the > sound < and you're experiencing sound issues.

Ok, got it. ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Okay mate, it seems I was wrong. I wiped system partition and flashed again just to be sure and volume got normalized. I was sure that it was that loud BEFORE arise. But maybe just an illusion???. Sorry again.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
No problem, don't worry. It's just there are a lot of ways something can get screwed up and the easiest way is by flashing something that's being written in /system. It's happened to me too many times too count.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zurik:
You can use Magisk . If you already flashed Magisk and updated Magisk Manager, enable Magisk hide from app settings. Enable the Pokémon Go if it's not enabled. Check the SafetyNet. If it pass , you can play the game.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Brideinflame:
I am having of the best experiences with my Nexus 5x in the sense of battery consumption, I am already a week with this Rom and very satisfied so far. I look forward to updates and hope to continue the project. I leave here my congratulations !!! Thank you for the work you're doing. I take it that the Compass icon is not present in the Quick settings. :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
I'm glad you like it. The compass icon will appear the moment you add it in the QS panel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
Quick note:

Just so everyone know when to expect new builds, I usually have time for this at the end of the week. In week-ends, if there's new stuff that's been added or fixed, etc, a new build can be expected. Therefore, tomorrow (if not tonight), I'll push a new build.

FYI, when I got PD up and running on my 5X, I was using the default kernel for bullhead present in the Uberroms manifest. So, because of inconsistencies in performance (based on my experience), I'll have to go back and replace ElementalX with the previous kernel I used. As you know, I compiled this one with GCC 4.9, and I didn't have time to make it allow me compile with GCC 6.x. Don't worry, pretty much all the stuff/tweaks of ElementalX are already present in the new (old) kernel but there are optimizations that will change the experience a bit (for me the difference is noticeable).

And, if I appeared to have focused only on the performance aspect when comparing the 2 kernels, with the old kernel I got a little over 6h SOT with light to medium usage, so the battery life won't disappoint you.

Stay tuned ! ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Thank you. I also noticed a Huge Performance gain when I flashed the boot.img of SAOSP Rom. (It's Google's stock, i just didn't had the Factory Image on my phone) I tried ElementalX and Jolla and both of them gave me laggy Ui and bad performance.

Do you know why this happens?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
It's how they work, I suppose. Tweaking the hell out of them didn't give me any improvement. For example, when I first got the phone, I immediately flashed FK and I was so frustrated... I couldn't believe how slow the phone was. At that point, and I'm not kidding, I knew my broken Mako was faster, considerably faster than the 5X in most scenarios. But I guess FK is aimed at giving the user the best battery life possible. Then I tried the other kernels and saw some potential. Still, the SD 808 is a pathetic CPU in my books. The GPU is weak and pathetic and the CPU is disappointing no matter how you tweak it. I'm very disappointed in this phone. The only things I like are the camera and fast charging. The rest... meh.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Hmm i don't think that's the way they work. Imean on PureNexus they don't decrease the performance. PN + Jolla was the most fluid i've seen until Pixel Dust + Stock Kernel. But on Pixel Dust anything becomes slow and laggy with Custom Kernels.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
The ROM has nothing that would interfere with the performance of the kernels. i know that for sure. The only thing that could have a 'hand in this, could be stuff from the device tree. That's the only repository that allows for kernel tweaking. I got some patches from DU that I added in there. I'll clean the tree before compiling the next build. That way I'll eliminate any potential cause of performance degradation that you said you noticed when flashing custom kernels.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
You don't have to remove this patches. I'm absolutely ok with performance and battery with Stock Kernel [emoji14]
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
I'll still get the cleanup done though. The device tree will look more like the PN one after that. Only then I'll be happy with it. Lol
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Okay, in the end it's up to you :).

Sorry for the inactivity, guys. I've been a bit busy and when I had time to work on a new update, I ran into some major problems while compiling. There's only one thing left to check and hopefully fix, then I'll release a new update. There's also a number of feature that have been added.

So hang on a little longer. ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Does this one include the Uberrom Kernel manifest/GCC 6.X optimization ?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
That's the thing I'm currently trying to fix. The latest modifications made to the toolchain, broke it for me. Now I got the damn thing to a previous state, and theoretically, it should work now. I've got a backup plan, but that's as a last resort.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
NEW BUILD UP !

Here's the new build which includes some new stuff and older things that I initially trimmed for a limited number of complaints, in case someone ran into trouble. > More features, more chances for bugs <

The first new thing has to be the latest security patches for this month, for both ROM and kernel.

The "Buttons" section withing "PixelDust Settings" is complete now and up to date, just like it was at first (before making this thread) and that means you have more control over what each button can do. They're still a bit buggy right now, but it's being worked on.

I added something ahead of the "main branch" (I'll call Spezi's ROM that) which we've talked about last night and that's the ability to hide the power menu on a secured lock screen.

There are a few fixes which I can't remember right now. I'm going through busy times so I've got to use my "brain HDD" to store other things in. lol

I decided, in the end, to include Google's stock kernel for our phone just to spare myself of running into problems that might be kernel related. So now if something's kernel related, Google's the one that messed up.

Make sure you flash the new vendor image if you haven't done that already (if you tried a different ROM). There's also a new bootloader and radio for our phone.

You can find the download link on the first page.

Enjoy !

PS: Read the instructions on how to dirty flash the new build, or clean flash.

So there are no compilation optimizations on the Kernel side?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
It's stock. I would've had to add stuff in order to allow the stock kernel to compile with those optimizations.

Flashing a custom kernel is now something worth doing if you want to tweak it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] amh10:
Really love this ROM, but...

...slightly nervous about ending up in a bootloop.

My plan (*dirty flash*)

1) TWRP backup

2) Flash new build

3) Flash ElementalX

4) Flash V4A

5) Flash Audio Mod - Dual Mono

Cross fingers!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
You'll screw up.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] amh10:
OK great. I forgot the wipe partition bit!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
I'm very impressed by this rom with stock Kernel. No need to flash another one. It would be just a 'nice to have' to have the stock Kernel with Uberrom optimizations ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
There's too much stuff the kernel would require to allow working with gcc 6.x, or to even let me compile without problems. From my perspective, I didn't notice a difference between gcc 4.9 and 6.x and I tried them both.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Looks interesting. How about Open Gapps?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
No problem Sir.

Small request:

Can you enable the option if your phone is on charger that the Flash sign inside the battery icon stays even when the percentage option is enabled?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dragos281993:
Definitely not. Opengapps has been a mess for quite some time. They manage to delete stuff from the system partition when flashed.

We'll see what we can do about it. ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Komodoketavaran:
Thanks I would really appreciate this :).

Another thing is everytime I flash this rom, no matter which Kernel you provide, it is laggy (Clean flash ofc). I flashed again the boot image from latest saosp build (compiled with UberTC) and it's smooth like butter again. That's really strange on my end. I don't know what's wrong with my device.
