[Nexus 4 Android Development] regalzz:
first time flashing a nougat rom on my beloved mako (which is my only phone since 2013 (yes i just cant pay top money on phones). so far so good. one question tho... before that i used the DU rom, and im actually not sure if it was a rom function or other thing, but it was something that i used a lot, which was switch to the last app by holding the recent apps button on the nav bar. now, i can only find this function on the home button (double tap works o, but if a hold it it splits the screen, which is useless in this phone). im missing something or i just cant do that anymore on this android/rom?

thanks and congrats for your vast contribution for mako users like me!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You can configure that under buttons...

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] regalzz:
i went there but there was only options for the home/menu(?)/back buttons. maybe im missing something?

edit: also, another question, as im very newbie on those kind of things: can i install a new launcher without any problem?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1 try setting options for menu

2 yes

[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Not only Nexus 6, but there are many other 32 bit device (Xperia SP, Cancro, athene etc) are getting O... I'm trying something but not getting any breakthroughs... Builds are failing pretty early :crying:

You change the procedure.

Add "bold" points.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mrcactuseater:
Did you even check the thread beforehand? Like literally the page before this one has the answer to your question.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
Don't think flashing a whole new OS version on top of your existing ROM is a good idea. At the very least you should wipe the system and cache partitions before proceeding
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sanjow_92:
No service

Wow! Thanks for this ROM, it works perfectly.

Just one thing, i can't seem to have cellular network available, with "No service" always showing in the top right corner. Can the baseband read italian Sim cards?

I'm asking because i replaced some parts of the Nexus (sim tray and flat connector) so the problem may be hardware related.

Edit: Fixed my phone, everything is working, as it should be. Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, it's your phone. The ROM works without any issues.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dadwithphone:

I mean that ok google and now on tap do not start. The selector can not be selected (it is gray).

The built-in weather in the pixel launcher does not appear.

The weather in the lockscreen do not show anything

Location is enabled.

I do not know if it can affect but I did not flash supersu
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Burner2000:
I am having similar issues with Google as well. No on-screen detection of "OK Google" and thus Assistant/Google Now does not work. The option to enable on-screen OK Google detection is greyed out. The weather lock screen widget does not show anything since it is trying to get location info.

Edit: The ROM did not have "Google" app installed by default. I had to install it from App store. I used latest Beans mini version. I did provide Google app permissions for Mic, Camera etc., but still OK Google did not work!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] spezi77:
You went to Pixel Dust Settings > Lock screen > Weather > ... and activate it, didn't you? Furthermore the syncing is not working instantly. You should expect delays in the response of the weather services behind.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, and with this it worked for me, as shown in the screenshots posted in second post.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Burner2000:
^Nitin, were you able to get Google Assistant/Google Now to work with voice detection?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, I do not use Assistant. Just to check I tried to install Google app and I was getting the same situation - that button was grayed out

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Burner2000:
A question out of curiosity if you are the right person to answer. Assistant was sort of made an exclusive feature of Pixel range of phones when it was launched. Any idea why it was left out for Mako's version of Pixel Dust?

Currently, Assistant is not exclusive to Pixel phones as well. Any intentions to add Assistant via Voice Detection capability to this ROM in future versions?

I have found issues, nav bar home button color does not work on / off pixel style navigation bar animation.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Color?

Nav bar on/off - check after a reboot. I mean, switch off the animation, reboot the phone and check if it is off

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Yes color.

I did as you said, it is still color, even though I turned off the phone and switched off the phone.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What about color?

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
The button animation of the home button is still there.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Ok, I'll check that. Can you send me a screenshot of your navigation bar animation setting?

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] spezi77:
We didn't implement home button animation on/off toggle into this ROM. Furthermore we don't have plans to implement DU smartbar. This is not DU ROM.

Don't ask me why.. you know, it's my personal taste! :p

does this rom have an OTA functionality like your nitrogen rom nitin. if it does will definately try this one out and give you my feedback on the matter. also does this rom pass safety net as there are no roms with nexus 4 that pass safety net and can this rom have magisk functionality built in if possible.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
- No OTA as of now

- Safety net - I do not know as I don't use it

- Built in Magisk - Not planned, user has the choice to install root of his choice

Clean flash - wiped system, caches and data coming from Cosmic. SystemUI constantly crashes, can't get into the OS past setup. I'm going to delete the setup apk and grab a logcat if possible.

For those of you saying you have OK Google issues, make sure you're not using OpenGApps.

EDIT 1: Couldn't transfer the MatLog apk due to work computer driver issues, I'll try again when I get home
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You should read the flashing instructions. After reading your post, I assume you are using open gapps; whereas in OP it is mentioned to use beans gapps. And that's for a reason.

Do that and you won't face any FCs

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yellowpage:
This is an exciting thing for my N4. And it will continue working hard for me...:) Greatly appreciate you guys, dragos281993, spezi77 and nitin, making this ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What all things did you flash? I (or any other users) don't get such message :confused:

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JaredTamana:
This is incorrect - if you read *my* post, i said explicitly that people should *not* be using OpenGApps. I'm using Beans.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
The previous rom I had was PureNexus, your rom was installed by the method Dirty flashing.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Oops, that's my bad, sorry!

You shouldn't get FCs. Anyways, I've just compiled and flashed new build. I'll share that soon, try that out

I don't have words to praise you :silly:

Do a clean flash and report back

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] djskribbles:
Cmon man. No offense but you should know by now not to dirty flash over a different rom. Or at the very least you should know that any issues could very well be caused by dirty flashing over a different rom, and that you should try a clean flash before posting any issues.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
So here is the new build...

Major changes:

- android-7.1.2_r8

- SlimRecents

- Night Mode is fixed for mako

- Many other things, see the changelog

[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Don't find anything in the log. Tell me exact steps of your flashing, what all zips you are flashing and their order.

You are definitely doing something different, I've flashed this build and all older builds myself and never ever had any FCs. This is weird.

56 dp

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] / [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION], could you add the 56 dp option as it is in MoKee?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] spezi77:
Yep, I will try to consider your request. :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JaredTamana:
ROM, Beans, Magisk framework. You think Magisk would be crashing it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ze7zez:
no gps

GPS does not work in "Device only" mode in Pixel Dust.

Works well on the same hardware in AOSPExtended (2017-04-15) and SAOSP (2017-05-06).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That might be a reason. You can try once without it, right? Just flash the ROM and gapps and we'll get the answer

[Nexus 4 Android Development] henkephi:
Kernel problem

I just installed the rom (3 times clean; followed the instructions given), it runs fine so far.

Only one problem, i need to use another kernel (Quinta), because there is/might be a bug in the supplied one

which prohibits shutting of the MPDecision hotplug off, thus it is impossible to use one of the

other hotplugging mechanisms on their own.

This might also be the cause for the random crashes (sometimes the phone, sometimes only the kernel editor app) when the cpu gouvenor is changed a few times

(and even if the phone responds [after freeze of only the kernel editor], a restart isn't possible (looping in restart popup) -> force over longpress of the powerbutton)

As far as I can remember the bug alreaddy existed in the hellspawn standalone kernel.

Last but not least a big THANKS to the devs for the otherwise great rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Has_anDroid:
GPS WORK ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] danieldr8:
Yes, works great.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

I have the same problem, so i flash Quanta kernel and works great.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] spezi77:
In hellspawn kernel I have removed mpdecision module. By accident kernel adiutor displays this option. My first guess is that by modifying things, you ran into an inconsistency..

I will advise [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] how to tweak init.rc. script to avoid this issue in the future..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] henkephi:
Great to see such a quick response.

But just to be clear, it isn't that malfunctioning switch that buggs me(/the phone) out,

somehow the Kernel (auto) plugs my cores even if i told it not to.

So I think there went something wrong in the removal of mpdecision or (s)one of the other hotpluging mechanisms is active.

An other minor problem I ran into is that the simple gpu governor can't be applied on boot, it defaults back to ondemand.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Let's check that in next build :)

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Check this new build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120730584

I've built this using N4E kernel and you should not face that issue with this build.

Again the GPS works just as well as the version of 2017-05-01.

Navigation buttons. Pure Nexus vs. Pixel Dust

Thanks a lot for 56 dp. :highfive:

Not only me one use this feature.

Can you explain something to me?

Pure Nexus from [MENTION=5796730]dragos281993[/MENTION] had for a moment the problems with the improvement of navigation action buttons (of course the equipment that was damaged),

and now works exceptionally well, because at settings 36 dp I still have active buttons.

In none of the ROMs known to me except Pure Nexus does not work fine for me setting less than 52 dp.

Link to screenshots.

Does Pixel Dust use a different algorithm than Pure Nexus?

everything work good so far. but there is weird problem with wifi. it is working, but after using wifi for like 10-20 mins it just gets stucked. like no internet connection.

playing game,gets me disconnected. same like i turned off wifi. but i didnt. then phone is showing wifi icon at full strength but no connection. and after some time it just gets disconnected and cant get connected until i restart phone. anyone able to help me ?

Are you using 5 GHz router? That might be an issue.

I've 2.4 GHz router and have no issues.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] BrunoSD4ever:
Great rom nitin and spezi, thanks a lot :good:

I have the same problem with wifi.

For the new build clean flash is needed or dirty flah is ok?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
i have no idea what my router is. its standard model we get here :/ i tried with latest build rom posted here in comments but the gapps wont flash. says there is not enough memory and my phone is empty. and the gapps dowloaded from this rom just dont install at all. should i try some other gapps ? some suggestions ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Dirty should also do, just wipe everything except internal storage + data, flash ROM + Gapps + superuser/ magisk (and do not forget to have backup in case something goes wrong ;))

You should read the OP

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
is there a solution for the wifi ?

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

i reflashed phone with latest build posted here. and flashed gapps. but now phone started up and stuck on "Android is starting..." screen for like 30mins.

there is like a load bar under it and keep spinning but it doesnt show any icons or anything. what am i doing wrong ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
WiFi - can't help unless you provide the details (and as it works great for me)...

Are you following the flashing instructions mentioned in the OP? I flashed like 10 times without any issue. Tell me your exact flashing steps and the files that you are flashing

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
enter recovery. do wipes,flash rom,flash gapps,flash su. rebot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Great! that answers my question partly. What all directories are you wiping? Are you doing factory reset? If yes, do not do that, wipe all partitions (except internal storage) manually.

Also you didn't tell what gapps are you flashing

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
this is the gapps name - open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170509

and i do factory reset from twrp n then in advanced wipe everything ticked except the internal.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That's why I asked you to read OP. OpenGapps will never work. Open gapps overwrite some stuff.

You should use Beans MINI gapps linked in OP (and it is mentioned in OP to use BEANS GAPPS).

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JaredTamana:
I have the same issue as [MENTION=4162527]Kenannp[/MENTION] now. Magisk was the issue, but the system partition is too full. OpenGApps warns about this, Beans does not and so the Google app isn't installed properly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
beans gapps wont flash on my device, dunno why but it just tries and displays error
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
If you have a Nexus 4, it would work. Download the latest version and try it. As I mentioned, I flashed this ROM like 10 times and never had any issue with it

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Pitty that xda doesn't have a "Spam the user" feature which would allow the OP to add a sticky message to his thread and the first thing a user would see once he's inside the thread, is a "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS !!!" window that wouldn't go away from the center of screen and would keep popping up once closed until the user went insane (a bit ). If that doesn't draw attention, I don't know what else would.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kenannp:
something wrong with my twrp. ended up reflashing it and installed rom with those gapps. working now. phone booted up. but will it happen again with wifi when it just goes disconnected ??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Never mind.
