It flashed and booted fine for me, didn't have to do anything special. Used nano opengapps.

Battery life is great, best of the 8.1 ROMs I've tried. So far everything is smooth and works fine, except camera fc's. Easy enough to flash a working camera, which I did.

Very happy with this, and appreciate the maintainer for his work on hammerhead.
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
My Report :

Default Camera FCs (You can use Google camera with Magisk Mod to get HDR+ working ) (Already reported to DU team on Jira, You can add your logcat)

Video still feels shaky and unclear on Google camera :(

Overall Smooth and silk ROM with Handful of nice features. :good:

On comparison with Nougat..well it's still not as stable but hey it's just 1st release.
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Just flashed this and my lord its fast and I lobe the boot animation 1st time I've used DU.

#staydirty
[Nexus 5 General] Martinocom:
Well... just flashed this ROM. Oreo? Yeah!

But... There are some problems. The biggest one: bluetooth. I explore every angle of they posts on G+, official site, and download sections: nobody mention about bluetooth problems. I have a little headset, and now audio during calls is simply TERRIBLE. I know the issue is famous out there, but I hoped that a "stable" release of DU will not have this kind of bug... I can survive for some time, but if nothing will be fixed, I prefer go back to a "stable" Nougat...

Other problem? I had to change/override the camera app. I just found this and install it. Just delete any data of the app and cache, reboot if it doesn't work:

https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/pixel-2-camera-arm-processor-t3688711

I actually really dislike that animation: too complex and not fully "fluid". Outro is REALLY long. I switched to a pixel boot animation :)
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Really? I quite like it yet I'm new to DU so the novelty of it might ware off lol and about the camera I just installed one from play store which will suffice for now.and I'm not going to flash a custom kernel either seems pretty OK how it is
[Nexus 5 General] keretapanau:
Hi...

There is new rc build. Will try to flash it later on when battery fully charge.
[Nexus 5 General] Phenomzye:
Which camera did you flash, if you don't mind me asking? Can I get a link?
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
apkmirror has one that another thread recommended as the last Google camera that works well for N5, it's 3.2.045. No link, I just went to apkmirror and found it. That worked for me.

However, I just checked another camera I have now that's working, and it's 4.2.035, and I'm not sure where I got it from, maybe from another Oreo rom. apkmirror probably has that one, too.
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
New RC is up..Unfortunately clean flash is required as it's RC and not official release so Signature change:good:
[Nexus 5 General] psydex:
Currently using Unlegacy 8.1 but it lacks quick charging. Does DU supports it?

Should I switch to DU or RR or DarkROM for best battery/performance?
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Just install ex kernel that has fast charging
[Nexus 5 General] psydex:
:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Install kernel auditor and check the settings in there. I know DU came with a pretty customizable kernel when they released the first RC build.
[Nexus 5 General] twobats1:
Using kernel adiutor with new DU and charges really fast
[Nexus 5 General] dhruvkumar12:
Substratum doesn't work with DU?
[Nexus 5 General] bagajohny:
It worked on RC
[Nexus 5 General] dhruvkumar12:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm also on RC 11/03 build. Still trying to figure out. The overlays don't get installed.
[Nexus 5 General] ppuuiiuu:
New weeklies DU ROM is out!
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Might have a fix...install substratum and theme of your choice build and enable overlay wait till finished and gives a error reboot phone then go to manager tab on substratum toggle select all overlays in top right corner and hit button then choose change overlay state
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
16/03 weekly can be Dirty flashed on Official build but not on RC 11/03
[Nexus 5 General] bagajohny:
Any way to decrease the stand-by battery drain? Overnight drop is too high.
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Don't install custom kernels don't have 3rd party alps running in background unless needed also this is a big one go to battery optimization and optimeze everything in the not optimize section I've done this and battery life is great
[Nexus 5 General] dhruvkumar12:
Didn't work. Substratum app shows 'no overlays installed' even after building and enabling themes.

Guess I'll have to forget theming for sometime. :(
[Nexus 5 General] ttocs99:
Did you reboot?
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
Strange, mine has been excellent on DU. 1-3% overnight drain, much better for me than other oreo roms, or any rom I've used in the past. I use Enable Doze for GMS Magisk Module, not sure if it makes a difference. Obviously you have some apps that are causing the drain because they're not going to sleep (or they keep waking up), probably a good idea to identify them. If they're causing drain overnight, they're probably causing drain all the time.

When I've had problems with overnight drain, I've found that rebooting last thing before going to bed makes a difference.
[Nexus 5 General] psydex:
Excellent performance! Substratum works btw (may need reboot and enable all installed overlays)

The only downside is that it's charging slowly (but that's the case with every Oreo rom I've tested so far).

I'll stick with DU for some time ♥
[Nexus 5 General] valvze:
I deleted NFC service after reading a few posts. The day before, I had 20 percent idle drain (crazy) but after deleting, I've only had 5% which isn't bad. Nothing was changed in between. I can't say it will work for you but there's nothing to lose. Unless you use NFC that is.
[Nexus 5 General] dhruvkumar12:
Thanks for the workaround. Works now !
[Nexus 5 General] bagajohny:
I use Greenify so I don't think I need that module.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

I'll try deleting the NFC service. Any safe way to do it? I don't want to mess around.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I'll try optimizing everything. I thought that might cause some problems so I didnt do anything with them.
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Have you tried install Kernel Auditor and enabling usb fast charging?
[Nexus 5 General] valvze:
"I'll try deleting the NFC service. Any safe way to do it? I don't want to mess around."

Just use system app remover from the play store. Delete "NFC services" Then, reboot and wipe caches. Voila.
[Nexus 5 General] mnsiw:
Is this substratum theme, what theme is it? And what's on bottom, Eleven Player?
[Nexus 5 General] psydex:
Yes. No difference

(tested with Ampere)
[Nexus 5 General] dasesq:
Yes. Ext4 was it. Reformatted, but then lost downloaded zip so adb pushed and all is well.
[Nexus 5 General] kingd421:
Weird. I didn't have a problem with it charging slowly.

[Nexus 5 General] cercelcremene:
I flashed it yesterday and have used it for 24 hours. I like the way that I can make homescreen perfectly black (apart status bar) with fling bar on. Basic functions are OK. Thank you!

As for battery drain, app drain is higher than on some other ROMs, while screen-off drain is OK (1-2% per hour with some usage). I cannot choose between DU, crdroid and RR.

[Nexus 5 General] Johnfoo19:
Font changer in settings is awesome. But has anyone been able to dirty flash weeklies?
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
RC to Weekly/Official is not possible.

Weekly to Weekly/Official is possible.
[Nexus 5 General] Johnfoo19:
That's weird. I tried to update to latest weekly from previous one -march 23rd build-, and it got stuck on <device: hammerhead>... Had to clean install always. Anyway it's not a big deal, sometimes is annoying.
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
Agreed, font changer is awesome, you don't even have to reboot.

I started on official and have been dirty flashing weeklies with no problems.

Great job by the du team, this rom is smooth and stable.
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
OP updated with JIRA link.

As many of you may already know from DU G+ announcement a while back, All bug reports and feature request should go to JIRA instead of G+.

Also, You can find all links related to DU in DU's G+ => about community , if you are not good with google search ;)

PS: OP has a DU blog link that contains all other links as well, go find it :p
[Nexus 5 General] dhruvkumar12:
DU vs RR? Which one's better for battery life?
[Nexus 5 General] valter09:
When I clean install it, I get a bootloop. What's wrong?
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
What version of twrp do you have? I think you need latest, 3.2.1-1
[Nexus 5 General] valter09:
I have the last one. Is it because of system files? Now I'm on Official CM 14.1 and I can't boot Pure Nexus nor DU.
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
Hmm, don't know the answer to that.

[Nexus 5 General] droidbot1337:
nice to see du 12 for hammerhead. can anyone post about bluetooth call audio? is is still terrible?? this is the only issue i have with oreo, it seems that this problem will persist.
[Nexus 5 General] keretapanau:
Done....redownload again the file....flash without problem...maybe had a corrupted file before or something missing when downloading....
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
DU 12.1 with many source fixed up on official download page.

Read DU blog & git for changes.

My tip : clean flash recommended even though you can dirty flash over weekly.
[Nexus 5 General] D-m-x:
Is FaceLock working for you guys? Crashes with missing libs. To be honest I didn't clean flash from latest Weekly since this is my Backup Device and trying to decide if it's worth it.
[Nexus 5 General] droidbot1337:
hey x, by any chance have you tested calls over bluetooth?? are they still distorted?? thats the only thing that sent me back to nougat.
[Nexus 5 General] D-m-x:
No, not yet because I don't have a Sim Card in my N5 at the Moment. It's solely a WiFi Device to keep it with me in the Gym etc. where I wouldn't bring my Pixel.

But I'm using it with Bluetooth Headset to listen to Music. Also I remember I read somewhere that the Dev said this is incredible hard to fix because of the nature of the Nexus 5 being this old which is quite understandable.

[Nexus 5 General] droidbot1337:
damn! yeah, i have heard similar comments from other maintainers. i have also heard that changing certain hard coded settings fixes this issue but i cant seem to find out what settings those are. i too use wireless headphones but when i try to answer or make a call it all goes to ****! i know the issue will be fixed eventually.
[Nexus 5 General] psydex:
Dirty flashed 12.1 over RC and everything breaks. Looks like i have to clean flash
[Nexus 5 General] D-m-x:
You can't flash Weeklies or Official over RC or you end up in Force Close Land. Also I wouldn't recommend a dirty flash from the latest Weeklie, messed up a few things, had to reset. Now everything works great.

Gesendet von meinem SHIELD Tablet K1 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 General] lynnux:
What did it mess up? I've been traveling so didn't have time to clean flash.
[Nexus 5 General] D-m-x:
On mine it was the Camera that didn't open, WiFi cutouts with no Data going through sometimes and Facelock crashing due to missing libs.

From https://dirtyunicorns.com/

"– Reminders

Weeklies and official builds are signed with private keys. This means that if you’re on the official build or last week’s weekly, you can dirty flash this weekly. If you’re on anything other than that and want to use this weekly you MUST perform a full wipe in recovery. If you decide to disregard this and flash this weekly or the official build on top of anything, you will not be able to boot. Have fun looking at a black screen :p"
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
New weekly out, April 13th

Btw after keeping an eye on LOS 15 gerrit for a while, I think it about time that we'll see some official built soon from LOS as well.

Just my speculation seeing lot of changes in last 2 weeks ;)
[Nexus 5 General] 7-down:
How close do you think it is? I'd love to go back to LOS :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
I can't say for sure but i think only major thing seems remain is to make camera2 api work with SELinux enforced.

Which is actually very tough task in my opinion because No one till date touched it, everyone since N uses some sort of hack to get around but [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] from unlegacy is trying very hard for it. So if he succeeds we will get rock stable rom with everything working without hack 1st time since MM. Also i think it'll easier to port next versions i.e P if all this works out.

So let's just hope rather than giving LOS 15 quickly he actually get success in his hardwork.
[Nexus 5 General] EricBlade:
It boggles my mind that we've got one Bluetooth channel working correctly, and all the others are distorted. Last time I tried, the media channel worked, but the phone and notification and alarm channels were all borked. Now I don't have a Bluetooth capable car, so I'm not even trying at the moment, but I need to get that rectified.

Otherwise, DU works mostly great.
[Nexus 5 General] snakePanda:
How you root?
[Nexus 5 General] Black_Voltagez:
You can flash latest superSu
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
Rather use Magisk, It's much better.

SuperSU is dying/dead.

(if you alresy installed SuperSU, you need to use complete uninstall from App , dirty falsh rom then install Magisk)
[Nexus 5 General] Black_Voltagez:
Thanks, maybe will using magisk for next official release...

By the way, how to fix video glitch in this official version (20180406) ? Any flashable patch to fix this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
There's one magisk module.

Don't know if it'll work for sure but give it a try.

I don't have a link now but if you search it you'll find it in Oreo Rom collection thread or may be in magisk repo as well.

[Nexus 5 General] egoz_:
Hey guys.

Coming from lineageOS with an encrypted phone, I flashed DU 12.1 official today.

Everything gone ok, phone is asking me the PIN to decrypt the phone (let's say the pin is 1234) and boot.

Then, I wanted to enable a screen lock PIN code. I set the same PIN I had using before (1234), enable secure start-up, reboot.

Then the phone is still asking me the PIN to decrypt, but say 1234 is incorrect.

I rebooted into recovery with TWRP, 1234 does not work, but 0000 works. Try to reboot and start the phone with 0000 : "Incorrect"

So I wiped everything, and reencrypt the phone using DU. Reboot, enable PIN + secure start-up to 1234. Reboot, same problem. Incorrect PIN.

Is there any way to get DU working with an encrypted phone ?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] D-m-x:
It's a good Question but honestly I don't think many in here are encrypting their old N5.

Gesendet von meinem Pixel 2 XL mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 General] :
You've got to wipe storage (can be done via fastboot or TWRP), then flash ROM and encrypt again.
[Nexus 5 General] egoz_:
Thanks for the advice, but I also tried this without any success : Wipe the whole phone (including data), flash DU, and encrypt using DU.

flashed the latest official release, gapps (https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/?device=gapps) and magisk. after I reboot and setup wifi password and it gets to "checking for updates..." it never progresses beyond this, and can't cancel out of it so it's just stuck at "this may take a minute or two..." what did I do wrong?

Unfortunately I'm back on old faithful AOSiP now. I think the issue may have been that my data partition was formatted to F2FS, which I didn't realise until I had flashed AOSiP again. Next time I will try DU. I had to wipe my phone back to stock earlier due to a bootloop (clearing cache and dirty flashing didn't fix it - I'm not sure what caused it, if I'm honest...) so all my partitions are back to original states.

Also, I'm not sure what good Pico GApps would do in this situation as the ROM itself failed to flash. I use OpenGApps Aroma with most apps excluded, to get as many as I need without quite hitting the space limits (it's very frustrating sometimes but AOSiP and DU have been quite forgiving with this in the past).
