[Nexus 5 General] dwasifar:
Well, I knew this day would come. After almost four years with our trusty Nexus 5 phones, the hardware has begun to get flaky. My wife's phone's charging port is a little unreliable now, and the dreaded power switch problem is starting to appear; and my phone's headphone jack has become occasionally intermittent. I had to rotate the spare into service. I could fix these things, probably, swapping parts from the spare or another old parts phone, but when failures start to happen they're not going to stop happening. They've had long service and are just wearing out.

Plus which, although this phone has had one of the most vibrant and active developer communities I've ever seen, interest in it is starting to fall off. A lot of good ROMs have been abandoned or handed off to other maintainers as the original devs move on to sexier, more modern hardware. It was good that we got so much Nougat, but I don't think we'll ever see as much Oreo.

So this week I bit the bullet and bought a pair of unlocked LG G6 US997 phones. I had them bootloader-unlocked and rooted within an hour of coming out of their boxes. Very nice phone with a dedicated developer community just beginning to emerge. I was really impressed with LG's durability on the N5, and I expect the G6 to be equally reliable over time. There are a lot of nice new features and a lot of technological improvements... but I have to say I think I will always be a little nostalgic for the Nexus 5. And who knows, maybe my wife will wind up using hers again. I know she'll break the G6 eventually.

To the Nexus 5 community: you guys have been and are an amazing bunch. This community epitomizes what open source can be on its best day. I hope I see even half of this kind of community develop for the G6.

Thanks, and best wishes to all.
[Nexus 5 General] ilyassnexus:
You will actually find out that the g6 becomes laggier than the good old nexus 5 ! And the wide angle boner will wear off very quickly
[Nexus 5 General] cindylike24:
Good luck with your LG G6. I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S8 a few months ago and absolutely love it. I upgraded a few months ago for a lot of the same reasons that you state here. The S8 has also has a very good developer community there too.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on this. I had used my S8 for a few months and went back to my Nexus 5 because I was missing being able to tinker around with my phone. Well it became abundantly clear to me that I realized why I had upgraded to the S8 in the first place. The Nexus 5 had become much slower and didn't run as smoothly as my S8. Needless to say, that little experiment lasted only two days. Went back to my S8 and not looking back now.

I did a factory reset on the phone and sold it on e-bay so that someone else can have the Nexus 5 experience.

I love my Nexus 5. It runs anroid 7.1.2 very smooth and I think will work perfect with Android Oreo .
[Nexus 5 General] SonicGold:
These are parts that often fail over time (somewhat "mechanical", so not really a surprise here). You could replace these parts, pretty easily and with little extra cost. You also seem to have the knowledge to do so, so it shouldn't stop you.

As far as I know, I couldn't really live with the fact that I just bought a new device knowing the previous one worked almost perfectly, I find it really irresponsible from an environmental perspective, especially now, in 2017.

But I understand the desire for new, faster, bigger battery (which is almost a flaw on N5), so enjoy your new device anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] Janfri:
So do I and for that reason, yesterday I spent 90 Euros on a Nexus 5 with 32GB for my wife, so she finally had to retire her good old Huawei G510, which she still loves so much. I'm quite sure the Nexus 5 will be more than enough for our needs for at least another two or three years, and 2020 will be a good year for buying a used Galaxy S8 for another 130 Euros.
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
you are right. I already replaced my N5's LCD Flex, LCD Panel and the Battery. And now it's still rocking good as my back up phone.. It has better GPS reception than my LG G5.

I just couldn't let go of this device. Battery and Camera is really the downside of this device. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Ko_Ka:
Big thanks to all the Devs in here over the last few years, your work is completely appreciated and after nearly 4 years I've finally upgraded to a Pixel 2, thanks for all your fantastic ROMs....

See you on the other side... :)

Sad To See Ya Go

It's sad to see ya go man. But on the contrary I ain't having ANY of these problems. I got my Nexus 5 fairly about two months back off a friend for really cheap ($20 CAD and a carton of $10 cigarettes I found on the ground outside the fish plant lol) and he barely used it. He had an older HTC for the longest time but got the Nexus, used it for about a month, then got a iPhone. I'm not having an problems with speed (but my charging port is kinda getting loose which sucks but not the end of the world) on the stock OS even. But the battery life sucked so I flashed LineageOS 14.1 Nightly Franco Kernel r113 3.4.0, and Magisk root so I could download No Frills CPU controller. So far my battery life went from 5 hours on full if you're lucky to 12 hours (and I haven't even used No Frills CPU Controller to underclock yet). Best of luck with your G6!
[Nexus 5 General] bluegrass55:
I still remember buying it when it came out in 2013 and returning it.

Bought it again on eBay sometime later and luckily it still had the Google warranty which I've had to use a couple of times. They even replaced it because of broken LCD.

To cut a long story short with each replacement the 2 year warranty was renewed.I have just received a replacement for the same reason as yours. But lucky for me this one is a brand new sealed in the box one. Normally they are refurbished. So I have warranty until Jan 2020. It was on 4.4.2

I have always used this as a backup, and enjoy coming back to it from devices like LG G3, G4,6P, S7, S8, 3T. The only reason i don't use it as a main device is the battery.

Despite the old processor it is very fast and dependable.
[Nexus 5 General] maybeme2:
I too am on my original nexus 5 with 32Gb. Rooted from day one with twrp. Added xposed and marshmallow 6.0.1. Only hardware I needed to replace was the battery and it made a big difference.

I've avoided non stock roms so far but would now love to try LineageOS and Franco kernel. Are there detailed instructions somewhere as to the exact step by step procedure to do so? I've had no experience with Magisk so this is uncharted territory for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Bigority:
Well I can create a guide for you once I get back on my computer, also you don't have to use Magisk, for kernels I recommend you don't tbh

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

I have mine overclocked currently, it is amazing but the battery is meh (battery is shot anyways)
[Nexus 5 General] maybeme2:
That would be great. I have very little experience with flashing roms. But I have several nandroid backups and tibu so it should be reasonably safe.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] Bigority:
Anytime bro, will be able to do it up for you after school tomorrow
[Nexus 5 General] AndroZeek:
Good bye Nexus 5 community.

Yesterday i bought Mi A1 and now i am giving my 3 years old N5 to someone else. I hope to see good development community for A1 because N5 has one of the best development community.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
I am about to get a Axon 7 within a week and I am curious to know which rom(s) are useful for everyday usage aka daily driver rom.

There are tons and I am all confused about the matter.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
The custom ROM support for this device isn't great, but it does have all the popular ones like ResurrectionRemix, LineageOS, AICP and AospExtended. My favourite at the moment is DARK ROM which is basically LOS 14.1 with some additional modifications; like the UI sounds from the Google Pixel, OMS theming support and unlocking after boot without PIN number. ;) Once LOS 15 (8.0 Oreo) is released I will switch to that and use it as my daily-driver until the other custom ROM's also upgrade to Oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
Thank you for the reply.

It's a bit of shame that the support isn't there since this phone is really amazing.

Out of all roms you mentioned which one is the most stable and less "bloated" one?

I have no problem with stock but there is some issues that I am wondering if custom roms have fixed, like dropped calls(think it's software that messes with signal, never happened before) and random low volume.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
Yeah, it's unfortunate that there isn't better support for this phone. I didn't realise when I bought it about a month ago that the situation was like this. Even my ZUK Z2 had a better community behind it which surprises me. :(

The most stable and least bloated ROM is definitely LineageOS, as that's the closest you can get to stock Android in the form of custom ROM's with just a few additional mods. DARK ROM as I mentioned before is just LineageOS with some extra enhancements. Both are stable but if you're after an officially-supported ROM with proper OTA updates, then LineageOS is the best option. I would recommend flashing Magisk v14.0 afterwards if you're interested in root support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cablespider:
Over the last few months, ROM teams began feature locking and doing final Nougat builds to start work on Oreo. This period always leaves us dry for a time being. I've seen dry spells like this since KitKat. I anticipate a wave of ROMs in the coming months. Until then, there is a fine selection of ROMs to choose from. I do agree that the selection is a bit sparse compared to other phones. There is just enough to satisfy a flashaholics urge to tinker.

Let's hope the coming surge is better than the last.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
I guess I will be using LineageOS, I am just too excited with this phone don't want to spoil myself and brick.

I am not a flashaholic but I know that most fixes are always done in custom roms or they optimize battery stuff, user experience and the ability to have custom kernel and schedulers are always welcome.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] P650SE:
Good point. I keep forgetting the fact that most of the ROM teams are working on their final builds of Nougat and beginning progress with Oreo. At the moment it does feel like there is a slight lack of development, but like you said there is still a decent selection to choose from. (Lineage, AEX, AICP, RR, etc.) I did expect LineageOS 15 to have arrived already after seeing the screenshots and estimate of 1-3 days in the development thread, but that was of course 3 weeks ago and unfortunately it ended up getting delayed quite substantially. (I'm sure our patience will be rewarded though, if it means a more stable first release!)

The next few months should be exciting and i'm definitely looking forward to it, but for the moment it is a difficult time for us 'flashaholics' awaiting the initial builds of Oreo. I should probably indulge myself in another hobby rather than obsessing about when Android 8.0 will arrive on the Axon 7. :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cablespider:
You're not alone. I look forward to testing and whatnot. I hope this phone can taking a beating like my beloved LG G3 did. RIP little buddy.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
What guide should I look at to install custom rom?

I got a ZTE Axon7 A2017G
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
Also just noticed with stock rom playing games really drains the battery fast, REALLY fast. Every 3rd min is a 1%.

Another funny thing I noticed is that with stock rom if I press a folder and then exit the folder and then press again, the whole launcher crashes and restarts.

Oh and I noticed that the wifi connection isn't stable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
I don't get that behaviour with my A2017G. What ROM is it on ? Mine is Nougat B04 (AU).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
zte a2017gv1.2.0b02
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cirnocirno:
Also I am curious to know. How do I gain back fastboot?(FIXED THIS)

So I am curious about roms/kernels.

I want to try a rom/kernel but I have been seeing there are a few roms that have something called "callbug" where the speakers make noise when a call is going on and when answering the mics are muted or call will be interrupted, no idea tbh.

So I would like to avoid a rom with such bug.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RICKROCKER:
I can confirm that p10 Plus camera is working on p10. They are physically same size and with same connector. Not sure if there is any kind software limitations.

Before and after pictures aren't accurate because the suction cup moved and focus point is not on the same spot. Both pictures however are taken with same settings.

I still have the original p10 camera module. I'll take new before and after photos in few days.

Can you confirm if the Exif data or the info from taken photos is f/1.8 or f/2.2?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] anttonev:
Does the phone recognize the new sensor as f1.8?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buljo:
im also interested in this.. ordered the camera module just to give it a go
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] infinity81do:
Are there any news about this mod? Is it full functional?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maochan81:
Would be nice if you could post the full jpeg with EXIF. But here's my take on this. The LENS on the P10 Plus is still F1.8 and therefore allows more light to hit the sensor and enable to use lower ISO in low light, thus getting cleaner pictures. It doesn't really matter if it's recognized by the software as a new module. That must have been the thinking of Huawei when they designed it....if the only change the lens brightness, they don't need to change anything on the software, sensors or the module itself.

I'm ordering right now. It's cheap and the P10 is super easy to take apart.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cybertim2000:
I'm also very interested. Because when I compare the images of the parts (p10 plus vs normal camera module) the lenses do look the same. To get the higher f-rating the 'holes' should be a big bigger (if it is not something in the sensor or software) else with a 'patch' the current module would be able to run f1.8 as well.

So, as others requested, could you publish the exif data or a screenshot of what the camera-app tells you about the f-rating?

Since I'm leaning towards a mi6 because of the f-rating, this mod could get me into the huawei camp ;)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buljo:
I still havent received mine camera module, will post exif data when i get it
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buljo:
Well, this was horrible. Now my camera wont work anymore. Not with the new sensor or the old.

This is what i did.

Turned off the phone

Replaced camera sensor, camera application force closes. Like there is no camera. No error msg or nothing.

Changes back to the old camera module, now that doesnt work either. Does a factory reset.

After some fiddling the camera works again, tries the new camera module one more time, thinking Maybe bad connection. Factory reset again.

Now it wont work at all, Even snapchat wont open up because off missing camera?

Suggestions?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] cybertim2000:
That is very frustrating.. :mad: maybe the new module was defective? I would advice to not use the new module again. Try cleaning all the contacts of the original module with some rubbing alcohol and such, maybe some bad connections?

As a last resort maybe disconnecting the battery and leave it for a while before reconnecting again would help reset some memory? Would be nice if the TS would reply with some details about the modification :crying:
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] infinity81do:
Did you disconnected the battery befor changing the camera? I think this could be importend.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] marc_ecko28:
Just wipe data of the camera app and it will be fine.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maochan81:
I'm still waiting for mine from Witrigs. It's underway from China, but will take some time. I'm planning to do a video once it arrives. Still convinced this is going to work, the only difference is the lens. I doubt Huawei would do any unnecessary changes to the board...you have to keep manufacturing costs to minimal. Don't forget to disconnect the battery before changing anything in the phone and make sure to get rid off any static from your hands. Would be nice to get some update from [MENTION=4424350]RICKROCKER[/MENTION].

I'll be back when my new sensor module arrives.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] buljo:
First thing I did.. No luck.. Had to buy a new phone.. So I bought another p10 ofcourse ?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] infinity81do:
Mine stuck at the customs since 4 Days...waiting for it.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maochan81:
Alright, i've got the module from witrigs. Unfortunately had the same behavior as [MENTION=1417247]buljo[/MENTION]. Replaced the module (very easy), started phone, started camera, but the app just flashes without any error message. So turned off, put in the old module, worked right away (lucky me). So i think it's safe to say that it's not possible to use the P10 plus module in P10. Maybe there was a revision of the module which worked, but this one definitely doesn't. Since we both had the same behavior, the modules shouldn't be faulty. Maybe a 3rd person can confirm, but at this point i'm giving up the idea. At least i can get a P10 with black screen and green back :)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] infinity81do:
Hi, got my camera also today. I can confirm the issue. The P10 Plus Cam is not working in the P10. Also Aida64 does not recognize the Cam.

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maochan81:
Sorry, i'm not much of a sofware guy so i haven't tried anything with the system. I noticed the the number on my module says "Sunny B1652" and the one RICKROCKER used says "Sunny B1648". Wondering if the sensor he used was really from the Plus version. Or maybe i have a newer revision (based on the number) which no longer works on the P10. [MENTION=1417247]buljo[/MENTION], sorry man...i didn't touch anything. I put back the old sensor, started the phone, started the camera right away and it works just fine. You have two phones now, you can cross check the camera module.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DallasCZ:
when you put your original P10 camera module i would suggest these steps:

1- unplug battery for one minute.

2-put battery back

3-go to erecovery a make factory reset twice, or make facotry reset form the system (also i suggest do it twice).

4-reboot

5-try the camera app
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Komatoid:
Camera app is shutting down after the change

Hi, as I bought a second hand P10 with faulty camera module, I decided to give a try and ordered the new camera module for P10 plus.

After changing the module the camera apps is shutting down whenever it tries to use the camera. So I can confirm it doesn't work. I even wiped the camera apps data, but nothing.

I then changed back the old P10 faulty camera module and this one worked. Tried again the P10 plus and shutting down of the apps appeared again.

Now I'm waiting for new P10 module.

How come it worked for the author of this post and not to the others? Could it be that the sensors for P10 plus can differ? I've bought the sensor on Aliexpress, so maybe different (not the OEM) supplier?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb5264:
Hi guys,

I am not sure what exactly happened. I was sitting around and listening to some music when my old Nexus 5X suddenly rebooted and stayed blank.

First guess - Battery. But that turned out to be quite wrong as I had charged it over night. Tried to get into fastboot mode or recovery mode; After the logo showing up and my beloved "This device isn't trusted" sign the screen went completely blank and that was the last sign of life. As it's got an USB port, I hooked the device up to a computer, found it to identify as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".

Some research showed me that this is some kind of download mode, in terms of 'nothing works anymore' and you'd have to get your hands really dirty here to get at least somewhere.

So my educated guess would be bad memory or some corrupted filesystem and I'd have to reinitialize the phone to be able to fastboot or anything.

Tools already looked at:

LGUP - No joy; Device not found as this one requires something like a basic recovery mode which seems to be broken here

boarddiag - I was able to read from the memory using 'download' using a tot file I found somewhere online.

QPST - Found some prog_emmc_firehose_8992_lite_lge.mbn file, but I lack the patch and raw program files

Any ideas out there getting that bugger alive again?

Cheers

Rei
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurik:
This is not a sign of download mode, your device hardbricked. As you have the firehose (I don't know if should work this) I found from another thread there the other files for QPST.
