perhaps , but the hardware is not the issue , popularity is ....it's novelty and popularity is fading ...there are loads of 1GB ram or 1.5GB ram devices with Oreo or P or project treble support hitting the market ....+ with the old 8MPx cams ...i just abandoned a moto e4 that has similar specs to N5 but is a new device ...the N5 has way more power ..the real truth is that the N5 is old ...which means not "cool" or "hip" more like a classic ( not great specs but great in it's time but somehow timelessly classic) but like with cars the antique market is small and specialized ...so most developers will move on just for the sake of moving on and not getting bored ...imagine if you got your hands on a samsung or 1+ device ..or one of many xiaomis or even any project treble phone you would play with it even if you weren't a developer ...so the device isn't dead , its an antique with a novelty appeal to a small group of people or poor people who can't buy the new stuff ..
[Nexus 5 General] CalebQ42:
Along with what others have already replied, it's also an issue that N5s are dying. You have to remember that a large reason the N5 was so cheap on release was build quality, it was all plastic (and not particularly fancy plastic) and after 4-5 years, a fair number of devices have simply died, never to be revived again.

This post in memory of my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
I just bought my n5 for 65 $ on eBay couple weeks ago. I bought it because couldn't afford anything nicer have dark rom 7.1.2 on it too bad devs aren't support in it much anymore. Phone I had before this was a Nexus s it died couple months ago, talk about long gone anyways.

Whats up with these oreo roms? Ive tried unlegacy,lineage and performance is bad, so bad, i flashed elementalx and franco, still, bad.... Geekbench shows low scores, playing some games is laggy.

Hi, flashed your boot and system IMG. It's Oreo 8.1 but bt distortion is still present. So no solution so far. If you want me to test another one. You're Welcome
[Nexus 5 General] M Asad Khilji:
Please provide him logs as per his post.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Yes ok. Have to root than first. Didn't do it right now. In 5 h I will be able to write logs connected to my car bt. So lets see. Will come back to you.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Ok. here is the log. Sorry didn't manage to send it yesterday. The important part should be nearly at the end.

Hope it helps you to make a new test img.
[Nexus 5 General] Sashko98:
Unfortunately couldn't find anything useful in the logs, thanks anyway.

In the meantime would you flash the attached zip, preferably on AOSP(non-CAF) based ROM, and test again.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Do you think the problem is this audio policy configuration XML file?

I flashed it right over your system IMG. I guess you built a non caf aosp Oreo system right?

But distortion is still the same.

Here are the logs as txt and HTML file.

But anyway thanks so much for trying to fix this last ugly still present bug.

Anybody using the neutron kernel for Nexus 5?

How is the performance and stability? Also how does this kernel compare to other custom kernels?
[Nexus 5 General] findrome:
Have used. It the only kernel I found that worked with 8.1 uap. Works. Stable. Remember that its an image, not a zip.
[Nexus 5 General] bagajohny:
How did you flash it? Twrp or fastboot?

I used twrp. Make sure you have the most recent version though.

Not at all, this was nothing more than a simple attempt to force 8Khz audio output on SCO.

In the meantime would you flash the new system image, and check how is the audio now, as it seems I forgot to implement a change in the previous build.

Link to system image
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Will do and report back....

Is it ok to use your old boot image therefore?

Edit: doesn't boot. Loops at Android logo. Will try different aosp kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] Sashko98:
Strange, I tested the image, before posting and it booted as it should. Try wiping the data maybe?
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Yes. Was my fault. I formated data via ADB. So system couldn't mount data and cache. Had to format it from twrp again than it booted.

But bad news.... Distortion is still present.

Log attached. Another idea? I don't get tired to test until this finally works. Hope you have a long breath as well, friend:)

[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
OK thanks. Its no repo. Its the known unlegacy Rom with a different kernel. But I cant see any difference to the one from unlegacy.... See pics. The upper one is the different kernel, the lower one is the unlegacy original kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] TomiLynch:
This might be a stupid question, but does anyone know why the developer of Liquid Remix and other roms don't open a specific thread for their rom? It would help keeping order, deal with bug reports and providing useful logs to help with development.

And an other question, does LR for the Nexus 5 provide all the features listed on the OnePlus 5 thread?

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

I haven't tried any one so I can't tell, I was just trying to direct you to the rom other people talked about when you asked.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
I know. Thanks for that. It would be important to know, if there was really a custom kernel for oreo, but as I learned there isnt one. So its not correct to call it custom kernel. Its a updated one from amacre
[Nexus 5 General] HermannSenator:
Okay guys. I've tried the latest build of Liquid remix. When I booted the phone for the first time after flashing the ROM, data didn't work. But then I've discovered that in the developer option there is a setting called: "Mobile Data always active". After enabling this, mobile data will start to work. Anyway, this setting is not persistent on reboot (this means that you'll have to do this on every reboot). Other than that, everything is working. Magisk is working and safety net passes :)
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:

Installed it just a few minutes ago. To early to give you proper information. But what I see so far seems to be really good.

Lockscreen pattern works

Sound works (but haven't tested bt so far)

Some really nice dirty tweaks still implemented

Others have to be completed

Se Linux ist strikt !!! :good:

Can't say anything about mobile network and data, because it's my test device without sim card.

Very clean and stable build as I can say within that few minutes.

Will keep it for some days.

Excellent, the important thing is that it is an Official Construction, it would be good to test the Mobile data, we will wait when you tell us how the Battery flows.

Don't have an idea about battery yet since I just installed it.

However, it seems good. Mobile data works, pixel navbar is present, etc. Smooth ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Battery seems to be be o.k. comparable to other Oreo builds. But I encounter one strange thing. Never had this in any other Rom before. The wifi Mac address changes with every boot. That's really annoying! I have to set up my router whenever I reboot the phone :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] TheToto318:

Make sure you have latrest TWRP 3.2.1-1 installed, then wipe system, dalvik, data and cache. I flashed rom, nano gapps from DU's site (you have to use nano or pico gapps), and magisk 15.3 and everything worked fine on first try.

First boot doesn't talke longer than 4 or 5 mins. After that, it boots in a couple of seconds.
[Nexus 5 General] Vanquish17:
Which twrp version r u running?

Yup...he is right....if problem still persists then go and FIX CONTENTS of your twrp and reboot into revovery
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Latest twrp you 3.2.1-1. I just found the gapps on google plus but I used unoffical open gapps pico. Did everything mentioned. What do you mean by fix contents of my twrp?
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Try download the ROM zip again and flash after full wipe (except SD). I definitely boots.

But I can't get rid of these Mac address randomization. ?
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
I tried still no luck. I read something about the MAC address changing in one of the nexus 5 q&a threads. I'll take a look and send you the link if I find it
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Thanks I have seen this link. If you Google it there are tons of. But I thought I'm the only one facing this. Now it seems it's ROM related if you have the same problem.

Oreo has a inbuilt security feature called "Mac randomization". But that can't be the case here, can it? Nobody would ever make a Mac address changing on every reboot, except by accident, wouldn't he?

Let's wait for the next release. I'm back on lagacy version now.
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Yeah that's what i was reading..but it still registers you Mac address when you connect to your WiFi right or is that what is changing? My problem was different actually. My Mac address was all zeros I believe and couldn't connect to wifi. I think its a hard wear issue in that case. It was on a 16gb nexus 5 and still didn't find a fix but I had this one laying around too so I didn't look too hard.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Nice! You wrote that it's a "hard wear" issue. :)

That's exactly the case.... We wear our phones too hard!!!:p

Just google it and you'll find the ROM, the developer asked for it to not be posted on XDA. Go to you recovery and when you go to advanced wipe go through and click repair file system and there's an option to change format to ext4.

Ok thanks last question what is the normal format of the whole partition b if Nexus 5

[Nexus 5 General] Shotg1:
So if ext4 is the default format partition why do we need to format our partition is there any way to check?
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Like I said I'm not really sure. I think mine got changed when I used first ever ROM. So if you used that it may have changed it. But again I'm not 100% sure what the default is I guessed ext4 because its Linux but Linux can handle quite a few different file systems.

I personally like using dt2s on home button. It's way more comfortable than streachin your thumb to the very top of your screen.

DU also has the option to double tap on empty navbar areas to sleep, but I still prefer the home button.
